Buckle up, big boy, let's go. I've got a coffee. I'm cracked out. I'm ready to ride. Are we actually recording? I think so. It's time for another episode of Who's Driving? Welcome to Who's Driving? I'm Wesley Turner. And I'm Steven Mert. We're two best friends and entrepreneurs. Who's Driving is an entertaining look into the behind the scenes of our lives, friendship, and business.
SPEAKER_00:These are the stories we share and topics we discuss as two best friends would on a long road trip.
SPEAKER_01:Along the way, we'll check in with friends and offer a wide range of informative topics centered around running small businesses, social media, and all things home and garden.
SPEAKER_00:Buckle up and enjoy the ride.
SPEAKER_01:You never know who's driving or where we're headed. All we know is it's always a fun ride. Yeah, you know, it wouldn't be unlike me to get all cracked out and then not hit the record button. No, and it'd be actually just like you. And let's sit here. So how's it been? So we're having to, it feels kind of unusual because we have been recording the podcast so last minute that I thought we were going to end up recording the morning of the podcast if we pushed it back any further. But today is actually Friday. The week before. And this will come out on Tuesday. So it almost feels like what are we doing?
SPEAKER_00:I don't even know. Because we're going, Dylan and I will be in Atlanta doing live sales next week. Gifts. Gift live sales. So if you're listening to this, you better be shopping ourselves.
SPEAKER_01:Yes. So we are still in real time tomorrow, which is Saturday, getting ready for dinner in the dahlias on the farm. So Steven had to come out to the farm anyway, because you know we've enlisted him to help with some things. And we were like, okay, we also have to get our podcast recorded because Steven is leaving on Monday, the day before this comes out, if you're keeping track. Monday morning. To go to Atlanta. So next week, um, because you know we have two dinner in Adallias. We have this one that's coming up and then one next week. So all next week, Steven and Dylan are gonna be in Atlanta if you um have our app for the nested fig. And they're gonna be doing live sales from the Atlanta market and all over Atlanta, basically, at this point. But you're focusing on some great gift items, Christmas gifts, yeah. And jewelry and bags. Always gifts. I want to know. This is an interview we need to have with I don't know, remember women in general. What do they do with all these bags? Bags and jewelry. I mean, I am so thankful for all these women and maybe some men. I mean, because you've had all kinds of bags. But they started Dylan. I haven't even been to this bag warehouse that you and Dylan found. It is fun. It is, it is fun. We got our friend Amanda. Love you, Amanda. Um, but y'all have gone down and done these lives, and I haven't gone there yet. Cause, you know, y'all can handle it, whatever. Um, but the amount of bags that y'all sell. I'm like, can we just be a bag online store? Because, you know, well, and you know they're easy to ship.
SPEAKER_00:Y'all can't get enough of it. I I get a little of it because you know, I have a few addictions and I have a belt addiction.
SPEAKER_01:But it is just like having apparel, like clothing. It is you need variety and you need ones that match. And if I had to carry around a damn bag all the time, I would want a new one all the time and I would want it to be pretty.
SPEAKER_00:You know what I'm saying? Yeah. And when I moved last time, went 10 years ago, when I moved from my house and bought my loft, I had over a hundred pairs of shoes. No. And donated that down to maybe 20. Oh, you were able to do that, Mister?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I I made my only child when I throw that in there.
SPEAKER_00:But I'm like, But it just happens over time. And I'm just man I'm just like increase them. And the problem is, see, I've came up with it, and then I realize, you know, because we have um walk-in closet and for in the in my bath master bath, and then we have a walk-in closet in my office and a walk-in closet in the guest room. Well, I kind of take everything. Yeah. And I forget what I forget what shoes, and you leave them in the box.
SPEAKER_01:And you're like, oh, I found these. I found these. Yeah. I do that from time to time. I don't have that many shoes, but I of all the because we all know I have tried threads around here.
SPEAKER_00:I've tried my best to help this.
SPEAKER_01:But I do end up with shoes. I that the shoes are the one things that I will buy. I don't have nice ones. I mean, they're nice to someone. You have had and just worked them. Okay, if they go on my feet, they're going wherever I go, in whatever condition. So, you know, Steven, he has been somewhere and it started raining, and he's like, Oh, my suede shoes can't get wet today. Um there are no stipulations once they go on my feet. No, they I will take them. Take them off and go barefoot.
SPEAKER_00:Hell yes. In a parking lot. Hell, I would walk in snow.
SPEAKER_01:No. See, once the ship comes out of the box and goes on my foot, I am wearing that shoe out. No matter out, I mean out no matter where I'm going.
SPEAKER_00:Out. But I am not going to completely ruin my shoes.
SPEAKER_01:No, I'm not. So anyway, I don't know. I shoes are my one thing that I but I haven't gotten any new ones in a long time. Like, I need some new, like fun, funky ones.
SPEAKER_00:I see how women buy bags, yeah. And and jewelry too. Like, you wear it, you get tired of it, and and the good thing is, is like when you're buying like decent costume jewelry, you're not breaking the bank. So you can afford to have a variety. Yeah. And then and then pass it on.
SPEAKER_01:I'm just so thankful. So if y'all are listening, this is was the point. If you don't have the nested fig app yet, go to your app store for your phone or tablet, Android or Apple. We are there. Search the Nested Fig. Get the app. It is where it's at. Um, and Steven and Dylan will be live a bunch next week in the lap in the app. You'll be able to find some great things there. Um, so yeah, so then next week I'll be getting ready for another dinner in the dahlias. But you know, framework should be set. Last week's podcast, I talked about, oh, dinner in the dahlias is coming up this weekend or whatever. And I said, Oh, the weather is looking great. No rain. Well, now there's a chance of rain. So we'll let you know. The crazy thing is how that goes.
SPEAKER_00:Is the hurricane. There's a hurricane.
SPEAKER_01:Now there's a hurricane that may come through here next week as this comes out. Um, which is, you know, what happened last year, and it was a complete I don't know. It's just uh, you know what? It's the way it goes. You just gotta go with it. Daniel's out there right now as we speak, cleaning out the barn because we might be piled in there having dinner. Dinner in the barn is where it's gonna be. Dinner in the dirt. Dinner in the dirt. Yes, that's funny. Dinner in the dirt. Oh my gosh. Um, okay, I have something I want to circle back around to. Oh, please circle back around. I know. Oh, it's on my notes here. No, this is a this is my ick of the week. I'm moving on past um, you know, social media icks that get me down. I'm moving past the pumpkins. We already talked about that. We gotta circle back around to moms, though, because it's mom season. And we talked about a few episodes ago how to pick out a mom that's gonna last. But the ick is, and this started like two years ago, is the people who are doing reels on how to get your mums to last all season. You bring them home, you fill up a five-gallon bucket of water, and you drop your mom in there and let it soak for 30 minutes, and your mom's will last all season.
SPEAKER_00:Not true. And I'm like, oh my gosh, your mom can only drink so much at one time. The other thing with dunking it is just like we talked about, you can easily break all your mom completely apart.
SPEAKER_01:And I'm like, uh, I want to create an account and start countering, like remixing everyone's reel. And it's not like I know it all, but I'm like, you are setting people up for failure, and you some person, and I remember the first time I saw it, and it was a lady that I know that is, um, anyway.
SPEAKER_00:That tells my issue with her is not her personally. Well, I really don't like her now because of what she does, but she sets people up to fail. I mean, she gives incorrect some listen. Sometimes there's a a million ways to skin a cat, but sometimes there isn't. Right.
SPEAKER_01:So think about okay, here is the truth behind moms. Moms are thirsty, moms like to be watered, okay? They also don't like to sit in water. So moms are typically potted in a very light, airy potting soil, which means they will also dry out a little quicker than some other plants. That just means you have to water your mom more often. When you dunk a mom in your sink or a five-gallon bucket, like Steven said, it can only drink up so much water, and your soil can only hold so much water. So think of it as if you take a kitchen sponge and soak it in your kitchen sink. That sponge can only get so wet. You can't leave it there for three hours and it get and it holds more water. It's only gonna hold a certain amount of water. And then if you take that sponge and pull it out of your sink and hold it in the air, all the water is gonna drain out. And it's only gonna maintain and keep a set amount of water in that sponge. And that's the same way the plant and the soil works. So I guess the concept behind putting it in the bucket could be you are deep watering it or getting it, you know, to really absorb the water, but you can also do that by just watering the mom.
SPEAKER_00:Or putting it in a saucer and let it wick it up. That's honestly the safest with a mom.
SPEAKER_01:And that way you won't break the mom because mums are bred to have as many blooms and be branched as possible, and they're very weak nowadays because they are meant to be a show plant for a very short time. Oh, they are hybrids of hybrids of hybrids of hybrids.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, that's how they come up with all the cool colors.
SPEAKER_01:Break. And if you look, a lot of mums now will have netting, like they grow them in netting down in there. It's real fine. That's so that they won't fall apart and break. And when as your mum does bloom out, it's best to just go ahead and train yourself to water the mum from the side. Meaning, if you're watering it with a water hose or a watering can, water it at the soil level. Don't pour it over the top of the mum.
SPEAKER_00:It will pop, it will break.
SPEAKER_01:It will break from the weight of the flowers. And then also putting water on the flowers like that because there's so many petals can cause like a botrytis, like a fungus mold, um, which will cause your blooms to die faster, too. So that is my well, let's take it a step further.
SPEAKER_00:Let's take it a little step further. Also, with the mums, you you can't you can deadhead it all you want, right? But it's not gonna put out.
SPEAKER_01:That was the other one I saw, which we talked about that too. Like the buds that you see on the plant are the buds that plant is gonna have for this year.
SPEAKER_00:Not like a petunia.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, it's not gonna regrow. I did see another reel that was like, and deadhead them every day for blooms all summer long.
SPEAKER_00:You can deadhead them so they're prettier and don't have dead blooms, but you're not gonna get another bloom. It's true. That's it. It's done. Show's over.
SPEAKER_01:So that's the best way to say it.
SPEAKER_00:Shows over. So let's take it to the next level. We're talking about moms, we're talking about how they have been um hybridized, hybridized. I mean, on top, you know, it's a hybrid of a hybrid of a hybrid of a hybrid. So that means they're weak. There's they they're all plants, all trees get weak as as they you know become hybridized.
SPEAKER_01:And you're not going Steven, I know we're he doesn't do not plant them. Please don't plant them. Just don't. You're planting a problem. You are planting a problem. That is true.
SPEAKER_00:You are, you are planting a problem.
SPEAKER_01:And and you might get them to bloom a little bit. Now, there are, okay, I'm gonna say this. There are perennial moms. If you go back and get some of the loom varieties, those are the ones you should plant in your garden and um or yard, and they'll bloom and be gorgeous. But the ones that you those are the ones your grandmother had. Yeah, the ones you bought at Home Depot, your local grocery store, just throw them away when they're dying.
SPEAKER_00:And I tell people, just from my life, okay, since I've been alive, there's been the red tips. If you're 50 or older, you remember everybody had to have the red tips. And they were beautiful and they were pretty.
SPEAKER_01:That was probably a southern thing.
SPEAKER_00:We had those damn things down our driveway, you name it.
SPEAKER_01:They all got diseased.
SPEAKER_00:A blight hit them. I've never seen anything die so quick in all my life. And then the next uh one of my favorite hybrids uh are the Bradford pear trees.
SPEAKER_01:Oh my gosh. That have taken over. You know, they'll pay you here now to cut them down.
SPEAKER_00:Well, and after they start producing, I don't know if you've seen this, they grow and they have thorns about this long that will puncture. They are so strong, they will puncture the tire of a tractor. Do you know what how strong how it's like a nail.
SPEAKER_01:But see, what happened was, what happened was they hybridized those and you know, grew them in some nursery somewhere, Bradford, Mr. Bradford, I'm sure. No, I'm just kidding. And they had great shape, they grew quick, whatever. Well pretty blooms. Put them out in the world, and they were supposed to be sterile, but they're not. And so they also spread, they're invasive, and they kind of convert back to the original, and now they're just taken over.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, if you let them go, they grow thorns that are literally uh wouldn't you say three to five inches, some like if they get big. Yeah, and lit, I mean, literally, you can't even pay people to take them down. Like they become they're they're a huge problem. The other thing is they're extremely weak. So during you know an ice storm, they drop like toothpicks, just all the branches just come down. Yeah, and then my other favorite hybrid of all time, these are the top ones that and there's many more. I mean, we we won't even get into roses and flowers because there's there's lots there, is the Leyland Cypress.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, yeah. Leland cypress. Now they're all dying out. You gotta get an arborvitae now. Yes, those would be next.
SPEAKER_00:And the way, but the way to make sure you're not buying a problem, and this is what I always tell people is make sure you're not buying a hybrid. Yeah, you know, get there's a reason. There's a reason that your grandparents had these big, beautiful trees that lasted hundreds of years, and and these plants that lasted, they weren't messed with. You start messing with them.
SPEAKER_01:We gotta have this color, you gotta have this color. I want my blood to be longer, I want it to be shorter, I want it to be a taller plant, I want it to be a bushier plant, and then you just create a mess.
SPEAKER_00:I asked Wesley one time. I asked Wesley. No, you actually answered this somewhat, no, very intelligently. Usually he can't. I'll be. I will be. I love when I travel to go to a botanical garden wherever, you know, if I can go to a water garden or a botanical, any kind of garden, I'm gonna go. And if I see a plant that I'm not familiar with, I will text it to this dumbass that has a horticulture degree from Mississippi State. And I don't know who the dean is there. I hope they listen to this. But he don't know anything because he'll say, I don't know what that is. Well, why? But anyway.
SPEAKER_01:Okay, let me explain why and defend myself before you tell how I it evidently one time got it right. Nothing. Okay, that's not horticulture. I didn't know that's turf management. That's turf management, and I don't like grass. I don't want anything to do with it. I don't want to have to mow it. I'm not fertilizing it, I'm not keeping it green. I'm not running a golf course, and I don't give a damn. But anyway, no. When I when you get a horticulture degree, you're gonna learn the plants in your climate. So I went to Mississippi State, which is very similar to here in South Carolina. So we have the same plants, and I know those. I don't know what grows in Arizona or California because I don't live there.
SPEAKER_00:And horticulture is very much I mean, it's different, but it's very much like medicine.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, and that's like me going to Washington State and asking you real estate laws, and you'd be like, I don't know. I don't I don't do real estate there.
SPEAKER_00:Well, and and I've said this on here before. I took all my electives at Clemson, and why I didn't, I kept doing it, I have no idea. But it, you know, I've always loved plants and and and gardening. So I thought it would be fun um to take all my electives in horticulture and landscape design, and I just randomly picked classes, they might be 100 level, maybe 300 level. Well, I thought it'd be easy, and I took plant anatomy.
SPEAKER_01:That's a lot of fun and picked that shit.
SPEAKER_00:It was so hard. Because I was like, this would be easy.
SPEAKER_01:Leaf, you know, petal. Okay, and here is the genuine thing too about me and my horticulture degree. I I don't even need it. I don't know why I got it. No, I didn't know what to do. I mean, I love it's valuable to have it. It's valuable, it is very valuable. But like I think I said on the previous or recently, there's so many different categories. You can work at a botanical garden, you can work in landscape and landscape design, you can work in a lab or creating plants or hybridizing or yeah. And I really my whole part was the design aspect of it. Floral design, potting. Like I like the pretty side of plants. Like I can plant a hell of a container. You know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_00:Well, and getting back to my point. Um, so you just took on this.
SPEAKER_01:No, my point was there were a lot of things like plant anatomy that I don't I don't remember anything from that. I don't want to. I do. I remember the apical meristem. Yeah, well, yeah.
SPEAKER_00:I remember a few.
SPEAKER_01:And if you cut that out of a tree, it will bush. It will burn or a plant, it will bush. Um, but there were like labs where it was on the cellular level, like plant anatomy, like the lab part.
SPEAKER_00:It gets really well, that's in plant anatomy too. It gets, y'all, it gets really complicated. I was like, I don't I'm a visual person, and it really gets honestly down to that medical type level because a plant is essentially very much like the human body when you break it down to a cellular, cellular level. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Obviously, there's differences, but it's that intricate and and they're trying when you're going through, you know, you you're hitting all of that because then you decide what path you're going to. Are you gonna go work in a lab or you're gonna need all of this? Didn't that not work? I was like, can I go back to floral design? I need to go back to my floral class and play with flowers.
SPEAKER_00:And I need to take my ass right on back to the economics, the economics classes, because I did that was my my area. But Wesley explained it to me, and I was like, why are hybrids always a problem? I don't care if it's a rose bush, I don't care what it is, they're you know, and they're in sometimes they last for 10 years. Yeah, but then there's a problem. And he was like, They haven't weathered the storm. It's kind of like human beings and viruses. It's like you have there, it's like a newborn baby that hasn't weathered the storm. Whereas your oak trees and you know, all of your stuff.
SPEAKER_01:Did I say that?
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, sounds smart. It's but it's I must have been having a moment. You yeah, it was it you were younger is before your brain got worse. But I mean, it makes sense. Like you know, from a cellular level, I think they're just weaker. Yeah, they are to d to disease and and so on.
SPEAKER_01:And there's you know, if you're doing it in, say, a petunia, which you're gonna replace every year, doesn't matter. It doesn't matter as much. But you know, when or a mom that you're gonna replace every year. Exactly. Or a poinsettia that you're gonna throw away after Christmas. Those don't matter because that's a production show thing. It's when it does become like in your landscape plants, that's where it becomes a thing. An issue. An issue. Oh gosh, I don't know how we got off on that. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:But anyway, that it's good to know. What so when you're planting stuff in your yard, go go pure. Go as pure as you can. Just mind most of that.
SPEAKER_01:I remember in Mississippi State I had to take plant and fungi kingdom as the course. Oh god, that sounds like a blast. It was only offered every other year in the spring at 6 30 a.m. 6 30? Maybe it was six. Yeah, I had an eight o'clock class after it. It was like such a specialty class, and they only did it every other year because only horticulture was take would take it, and they needed enough, you know, force enough people to fill up a class. And it was at like 6 30 in the morning.
SPEAKER_00:Well, I'll never forget I had um Mary Hawk, which you you met her. She was at Clemson, very genius, great lady, um, very passionate. Um I don't know what she was in horticulture, but she was something. She was very, very smart. Um she had her PhD. So I had her eight o'clock in landscape design class. And you know, I'm not a morning person. And literally, so my dad is in construction, has been my entire life um commercial, and my dad was writing the checks, my tuition checks for Clemson. And Mary, Dr. Hawk, was very passionate about uh construction on the campus and protecting the trees. So they were building on the other side of campus, and at eight o'clock in the morning we had to go over while she screamed at the construction crew. And all I can remember, y'all, I mean, I was like, oh my God, if my dad rode by here and saw me standing out here with a protesting construction because of a tree, which, and listen, I love the trees, save the trees. I'm all about that. But I'm just telling you, if my dad had driven by and seen that, he would have beat my ass and her ass. It would have just been a ass beat. Yeah, he would have been like, I he I know what he would have said, what in the hell are you doing out here? That is crazy, and I'm not paying for this.
SPEAKER_01:And yeah, that is crazy. Um, I have something else that I think is so cool, and I need to look up their name, but on TikTok, moving on. Are we done talking about horticulture? Are you off your soapbox? Yeah, okay.
SPEAKER_00:Just throw the throw the mums away.
SPEAKER_01:That's what I heard. Have you seen this girl? Okay, this would have so been me. I've said this so many times. I'll I am glad I grew up when I did, and you know, my time, and I I think most people probably are because that was your childhood and the way you remember it. But if I had grown up now with the ability to have access to social media, I would have been ruined.
SPEAKER_00:I would have my name would be dirt. I could have never been able to do it.
SPEAKER_01:But I would have also been a millionaire. Like I would have been working it because you know. So there's this girl on TikTok that has blown up and it's under her dad's account. I'll have to look it up because y'all need to go follow her. Little country girl reminds me of myself, but you back in the day. Um, but she got on there, it was random, and she's 14, and she wants to buy this house that is in front of her parents' property. Like their driveway goes down beside it. And originally it was like her aunt and uncle, like her great aunt and uncle's house. They sold it out of the family, and now the house is for sale. That would have so been me. That's what I'm saying. Let's flip it. No, well, she wants to buy it so she can restore it and live by her parents or whatever. And her dad's like, and she's like, My dad said 14-year-olds can't buy houses, blah, blah, blah. You know, they're going back and forth or whatever. And she's like, What if uh it's$130,000? What if$130,000 people send me one dollar? See, this is how I would have worked my social media. And it's gotten traction in like, I don't know, I looked a couple of days ago. She's got like, I think it was like$73,000 that she okay.
SPEAKER_00:I'm just sending her money.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. I love that. Me too. I did send her money. I sent her$50. I was like, love that. This is my kind of gal. I love her. I'm obsessed. Um, and so I'll have to let me see if I can find I want her to have that house. Me too. And I'm like, that is how you work it from the right angle of social media and being a kid. Um, let me find the TikTok name because it's under her dad's because she just, you know, is 14 or whatever. I guess she didn't have her own. Um, the TikTok handle is Zachary Patrick. Z-A-C-H-A-R-Y. Patrick. P-A-T-R-I-C. Um is the name. So uh So y'all give her money.
SPEAKER_00:We want her to have this house.
SPEAKER_01:We do want her to have the house. But I just think that is so fun. Whether she ends up with it or not, that is that is the way you work social media. But I've been following the this is what I follow on TikTok. Is it Zachary Patrick? At Zachary Patrick. Z-A-C-H-A-R-Y. P-A-T-R-I-C-K. Zachary Patrick. He's got 107,000 followers. But I just thought that was so cute, and I hope she really does get the house. Um, and what a great way to do that. Where's my TikTok? Okay. I was like, I'm gonna send you a little money. That's that's my type of charities that I donate to, by the way. I'm like, you can use it no matter what you do. You if you don't get the House, use it for college or something. Okay, so um, other than that, let's see what else I got in my notes over here. Oh, I have another um Is this her? Yes, that's her. I have another phrase that we may be saying wrong. You may be saying wrong.
SPEAKER_00:I love her. I mean, how how great for her. Mm-hmm. Y'all, we gotta help her get that house. That's true. And while we're at it, can we help me get a new house too?
SPEAKER_01:Pile up. Get the hell out of here. Um, so a phrase you might be saying wrong. Oh, Lord. I think we may have talked about this one a long time ago. It feels familiar. Um, and there's no way to guess this one out right. So we can play a hundred thousand million dollar, hundred thousand pyramid. People were cracking up about that last week. Um, but this one is um it's another think coming, not another thing coming. Did we talk about that before?
SPEAKER_00:I feel like real a think. You got another think coming.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, not another thing. You got another thing uh coming, is what I would be saying. I guess another think. Like you're gonna have to rethink that or T-H-I-N-K.
SPEAKER_00:I like thing better. You got you got another thing coming if you think I'm gonna. So you should have yeah, that makes sense. You got another think coming if you think I'm gonna go down and do yeah, you got another think coming instead of thing.
