Scrolling on in here. Let's go, let's go. I'm a little light. A little light, a little lost. A little light, a little lost, and a food light because we didn't even do a podcast last week. But it's time for another episode of Who's Driving? Welcome to Foos Driving. I'm Wesley Turner and I'm Stephen Murray with Two Best Friends and Entrepreneurs. Who's Driving is an entertaining look into the behind the scenes of our live sprint. These are the stories we share and topics we discuss Two Best Friends Wood on a long road. 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 coming hard. Buckle up and enjoy the ride. You never know who's driving or where we're headed. All we know is it's always a fun ride. Sorry, y'all. We have been so damn busy. That's just an excuse. It is an excuse. It is an excuse, but it's also the truth. We are recording today at uh the Nested Fig warehouse. So if the sound quality is not perfect, that's why. And remember, you can always watch us at who's drivingpodcast.com. You can join the online community. I'm rolling in today because I talked to you like a little over an hour ago. It's like I'll be there right at this time. Oh, I was only 15 minutes late, so I'm very proud of myself. You are not mad. I had not even started cursing you at the lab breath. Yeah, that's on time for me. Yeah. But if you've been watching our live sales last week, I know a lot of you do, but if you don't, you should. That's true. You should. Um, Mr. Kitty, we've talked about Mr. Kitty on here that likes to ride around. Mr. Kitty went on a new ride this week. Mm-hmm. You got cat hair off all over you. Spoiler alert, I found the damn cat. Found the damn cat, so let's move on. No. So I didn't even tell you, I think I've since told you this. So back up, like two weeks ago, the cat. We have this cat, if you don't know, Mr. Kitty. He's still a kitten, I guess. I mean, I got him in July, and he was little then, but you know, so he's he's a teenager, maybe. He has been fixed. It's not a fixed thing. What he's done this his whole life, and it's actually where an employee found him up in their car. So that's where she found him? Yes. That's where this has been going on since it's a genetic issue. Yes. Probably how we got to her house. So anyway, this cat a few times took a ride, and you know, I happened to find it. Came here to the warehouse. One time Steven saw it jump out at the gas station down from our house. It was in Steven's car. A week later, I found it there because I kept circling around, checking it out. So I finally put an air tag on it. So the air tags work because I'll usually check at home and be like, oh, he's there, or you know, but sometimes you're in a damn hurry. You just gotta go. So one time I was on my way here and I was like, oh, it didn't say cat is no longer with you. Because I have it set, so when I get so many, how it's just natural. My iPad pops up on my cars when I leave. AirPad left behind. iPad. Yeah, iPad left behind. I'm like, good. I meant for it too. Yeah, that's how my AirPods do that too. And I'm like, good. So the cat will do that. So I know by the time I get to the main highway, it'll say airpods left behind, cat left behind. I'm like, I'm good to go. Well, this one day it didn't, and I was like, cat's with me, got to turn around, blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, a couple of weeks ago, Daniel went to a flower farmer meeting. We were here, and I don't know what made me, I remembered when I was leaving here like that night, I remembered that Daniel's van was parked next to our garage, which he normally parks out further away, so it's not a cat issue because he's near the flower workshop. So I was like, let me see where the cat is. And it was going down the road. Luckily, Daniel was on his way back. And but he had gone all the way across town, went to a flower flower farmer meeting, was there for three hours. The cat stayed in up in underneath his car and then was riding back. I was like, Are you at this place? He's like, Yeah, how'd you know? I was like, the cat's with you. Well, last Tuesday, um, Daniel went to take the cat, the dog to get groom, Charlie, and it's down the street from our garden shop. And then he went from there to Harris Teeter, then Harris Teeter to the garden store, made this whole round. Well, that night, I don't think I noticed, yeah, the next night, or maybe it was that same night, I was like, oh, where's the cat? I didn't see it tonight. Because normally when we get home from doing lives, because we were doing them all day, no one has fed him. I intentionally don't leave food out for him, so that if I'm getting in my car, I'll shake the bag and feed him, or if I get home anyway. It was like 11:30 at night, and I was like, let me track the cat. Well, the cat was at Harris Teeter parking lot. This was Tuesday a week ago. Today is Sunday. So yeah. Um, or five days ago. Tuesday, five days ago. So then I was like, it's 11:30 at night. That is 15 miles from my house. I am not going to get this damn cat. Like, no, it is too late. So then I was doing stuff, and then I didn't go to bed till like two. I was like, let me see where the cat is. And it was like on a different street, across the road, kind of like different neighborhood. And I was like, well, he's still moving. And then the next day, Daniel came in for lunch or whatever, and I was like, Oh, you took the cat with you yesterday. And he's like, Oh my gosh, where is it? So it ended up randomly. Then I looked at it, you know, the air tag, it was like three houses behind the garden store. I was like, How did it make? Because I was probably like a half a mile from there, or maybe across a four-lane highway. Yeah. But it made it. I don't know. I don't know. Anyway, so ever since Tuesday Wednesday, it has been at this house three houses behind the garden store. Well, we were doing fig days last week, so we were here all day long. And by the time I left, 11 o'clock at night, I'm like, I'm not going to get the cat. So I'm like, I'll you didn't want to knock on someone's door. Yeah. Because I thought someone had picked up the cat and had it in their house. That's what I thought. Well, today I went there just while I was really going to the garden store, and I was like, well, let me circle around, see if I can find the cat. So I went and knocked on the door, and I was like, the guy came and I was like, this is really weird. But have you seen a white and gray cat? He was like, No, I mean, I haven't, but we do have stray cats around here, and there's a storm drain, and I see cats come in and out of there, and I was like, Well, that's probably where he would be, you know. So I he went back in because I was like, okay. He did get my number. He's like, if I see it, I'll text you it over. So I was like, let me see. Well, it popped up on my phone that he was nearby and I could do the sound. Well, between these two houses, it was, I guess, the kind of a little ditch that drains to the storm drain. So it's really grown up, you know, privet and stuff like that. And so I hit it and I could hear ding ding ding ding ding ding. And I was like, oh, the cat's, he must be dead in this little thicket here. Because he hadn't moved, he's always been at the same spot. And I was like, Mr. Kitty. And as soon as I did that, he's like, Meow! And here he came, just trotting out of the stuff. Damnedest thing. You know, I've never known a cat to do this. I know. So Mr. Kitty went back home to the farm, and that's why I was a few minutes late. Long story long. I've never known a cat to do this. I've known a cat to get in the engine in the winter. For warmth. For warmth, but just to keep riding. And he like knows cars. Like he's gotten in my car. He's gotten in my car. Daniels. Daniels. So I mean, this cat knows. Like. Yeah. And like in Daniels, he gets in all of them. He gets up in the back, not in the engine part. He gets up in the back usually. And I guess there's little places. I don't know. He just rides along. I don't know. Mr. Kitty needs to learn a lesson. He does have a bummed leg though, like something scratched it or it's a little raw in a little spot, and he was kind of limping. And I was like, you deserve a limp for at least a week or two. And he didn't look endangered. There was no bones or blood or anything like that. It was just. His leg was a little hurting, so I was like, but Mr. Kitty's back home for today. I don't know. I don't. Stephen said, please don't get that cat. This is it. Don't go get it. We're done. So I think the next time I'm out there, I'm taking the air tag off and I'm throwing it out the window. On the way. Uh-huh. On my way home. I feel like I need there needs to be an intervention. I mean, this is like at least the fifth time that the cat has gone somewhere and I've had to go get it. Um, but anyway, so that's the update on Mr. Kitty. It's Thanksgiving week. Can you believe it's Thanksgiving already? Thanksgiving this Thursday. You got plans? We are going um to Dylan's grandmother's. He's big nanny. That'd be nice. That'd be nice. I am taking pecan pies from our mix that we sell. Oh yeah. From San Saba. Mm-hmm. So if you don't buy it from us, which you should, you can get it from William Sonoma for more. But you can go there and get it. You can go spend more if you want. So you're taking that, and so you're going there, and y'all are just high get fat and happy and fat and happy. And then Friday back to work like normal. We're doing so this year, Daniel is staying home. Because you know, he's been going up to his aunt and uncle's house. Um, and um this year he's staying home. So we're gonna, I don't know what we're I guess I'll cook Thanksgiving something. Or I'll order something. Where can you get good Thanksgiving to go? I need it cooked. You know, last year I cooked myself Thanksgiving. I did the whole spread. Well, no me, because I wasn't there that, but I can't remember what I did. Is there somewhere we can order it good? I think um you can get sides from place halls. Oh, really? That's good. Because you know, you can do cracker barrel, but I want something a little better than that. I can't remember. I might have to look back at my reel that I did. I think I posted a reel or my stories and see what I did last year. I think eventually what I would like to get back doing when business permits um with us. I don't know how that would work. But I would like to get back to doing trips on Thanksgiving. Yeah, that's not gonna happen. I know. You're in the wrong industry. I know, but once you retire, you can do trips. Well, I'm not gonna retire. You can do trips for Christmas, you can do trips for Fourth of July, but you can't ever do a trip on Thanksgiving. I know. That's why I don't go to see my family in Tennessee. I just I just acknowledge. No, I know. I'm saying it's just the way that work in this business does not work at all. Um But I did like doing that back in the day. In the restaurant business, you could do that. Yeah. Yes, so that's what we'll be at home. I hope y'all have a good Thanksgiving. So I was on social media. What is your favorite? No, we're rushing. Am I favorite thing to eat at Thanksgiving? Oh, okay. If there's a really good baked mac and cheese, or, you know, like a good one, I love that. Um maybe like a hash brown casserole. You know, all those casseroles are so good. Starches, starches. One of my favorite things is which I'm very, very, very picky, is dressing. But I like the dressing the way that my grandmother made it. I'm okay on dressing. It is not my favorite because most people's aren't that good or something. I don't know. I mean most people can't make it. It's fine. I've never gone anywhere and it's bad per se, but dressing doesn't just hit me that way. I love it, but it's I like it where you cut it into squares. Oh, thick and yes. Yeah. That good southern, very southern country. It's like all the sides, I think. All the casseroles. I mean, I love all of that. I hate turkey. Yeah. My mother hated turkey. I hate turkey. It's just pointless. Y'all, it does not taste. Get you a good ham. You will get it. It's good if you get a deep fried one. Yeah, but I mean, that ain't even a turkey at that point. You know, it is if it's deep fried, but yeah, get a ham. I mean, I think a ham is way better. Way better. Um, I'm trying to think. Last year I do remember I got a green bean casserole and it was gross. I'm picky on my green bean casserole. You have to, here's I'm gonna help y'all. Daniel saw what he was someone was talking about a green bean casserole. I think it was on TikTok. They put onion rings on top of their green bean casserole. Fried onion rings. Well, I always mom mom my mom always ate funions. Oh, funions. Most people put the the deep fried onions. Onion, yeah. And but the trick to a good, people are like, it doesn't make a difference. Beans are beans, they're not. They're not. The trick to a really good green bean casserole is to use the French style green beans. You cannot use anything else. Has to be French. Let me note that. French. Yes. Green beans. Yes. Sounds bougie like you. They're not I don't know what they are. They look kind of slivered to me. They're thinner, right? They're they look like they've been cut to me. I really don't know what they are. Yeah. Let's see. What is a French French style green beans. What is French style green beans? Um comes right up. French style green beans are typically either thinly sliced lengthwise or or are long, slender green beans called caricots. Yes. So it is. They are they are sliced, like I said. Oh no, I was right. But for I guess there's not, I guess, you know, that it allows more of that soup and all that goody goody to be, you know, it's not as much bean per bite. Yeah. Makes a difference. And they cook better. That's what it is. Well, that's what we'll be doing. Um, okay, so I saw on social media something. So, you know, we love Southernisms. Mm-hmm. Okay. So this was, I don't know what Wisconsin would be. So this is gonna be a Wisconsinism. Because I had never heard this. So Yankeeism. Yankee. But I don't know. So now I want to know. So it was a post of a girl. She was walking around, I think asking everyone in her company, what do you call, and it's what we would call a water fountain. You know, that's on the wall, like in your school. Water fountain in the business, you push the button, water. They all the Wisconsin all the people that were from Wisconsin called them bubblers. Bubblers? Yeah. Bubblers. She's like, what do you call this? And if they were, and she'd put where they were from. If they were from Wisconsin, they called them bubbler. A bubbler? A bubbler? Hmm. So what do you call the thing on the water the thing on the wall that dispenses water like you had in school where you can lean over and drink from it? Is it a bubbler? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I thought so too. That sounds like something that would be in England. A bubbler? You know, in England and Australia, things are Yeah. Different names, but a bubbler. And I was like, I could I just couldn't even see, I guess because the water kinda bubbles out and I don't know. I I couldn't make my brain go, oh, I can see that. You know? Water dispenser. I'd have been like, okay. Proper ass bitches up there. Water. Yeah. Water dispensary. Yeah. Yeah, but that is a bubbler. A bubbler. That is weird. I have a, this is a random, um. We used to do these. What do you call it? Like a puzzle? A brain teaser? What do you call that? A um I don't know. Quit trying to figure it out. No, what do you call it? We used to always do these. A not a puzzle, not a brain teaser, a oh my gosh. This is our holiday brain. Um a riddle? Riddle. Is that what we called? Yeah. Riddle. Whatever. I got one for you. What gets wetter as it dries? What gets wetter as it dries? As it dries. I thought you would get this one right off the bat. What gets wetter as it dries? If you're listening, scream it out to yourself when you know. Umbrella? No. That could be kinda what gets wetter. Well, I guess an umbrella doesn't dry. You're kinda on the right the right thing there. What gets wetter as it dries? No. A towel. A towel. A towel. I thought a towel, but what that makes sense. Yeah, as you dry your body off, as it's drying the act of drying, it's absorbing ingredients. Yeah. There you go. Mm-hmm. Um do you got anything in your notes or am I caring this podcast? I don't have a damn thing. Nothing? I guess that's it. We'll see you. No, I have a new ick. A new social media ick has been delivered and dropped in my lap, and we got to talk about it. What is it? I sent it to you. Don't even remember. Oh, yes, I do. People using. And if you have this up in your house, I am telling you. You tacky. 90% it looks wrong. And I want you to send me a picture if you think yours looks right, and we will we will let you know. Otherwise, I want you to take this shit down, okay? But the new Instagram ick is these people using these shower rods, these cheap white, or maybe even gold shower rods, plastic coated, just pinching rods to put in their doorways to loop their garland around. Just don't. Just don't. You don't need that there if you're gonna do it like that. And they're doing it, I think there's so many things that are wrong about it. It could be right if you were using the rod all the way up against your door frame, and you're like, I don't want to put nails, and you put it up there, and then you use that. Completely hide it, too. Yes, to make it look like it's going over the door. Yeah, as a mechanic, a mechanism. You could tie to it, you could wire to it, you could make it look like the garlands. But these people are wrapping them, man. They're proud of it. And they'll have it in huge doorways because there's so many open floor plans now. And it won't even be like it'd be just like what? Eight feet. Eight feet tall. And then there's opening above it. And they don't even wrap it. Right. You can see the damn cur the damn shower rod in there. It is tacky. That's the only thing. And then why don't you, if you're gonna do it, they don't, they'll just go right across. They don't do anything down the sides to frame it. Bless you, sorry. Frame it in or nothing. I'm like, who puts this up and thinks it looks good? That's the only thing. You sent me that. That is the only thing that has been bothersome with I've seen with people's Christmas Christmas decor this year. But it's early. It is early. There'll be some other screw up. But just don't. Like if you're if it don't try to make something happen that you can't make happen. Right. Because save the save the time. You and I talked about this. I remember when you sent it because I said, you know, mine are 16 feet. Your door opens. Oh, well, some of them are no, they're not 16, but they're 14 feet. Yeah. Or 13 feet. And I said, Well, I could see using that as a mechanic if I wanted to do a lavish garland. At the same time Because you wouldn't know. You wouldn't know it was there. Right. If you use it up there and hide it properly. As if it was the door frame. Like you had it, you know, screwed up there. Yeah. But like if you came to my house and I had that floating at eight feet and all that, and be like, what the hell is this? It looks stupid. What is this? That's what I would say. Let's do it at your house. We'll talk about it how ugly it is. We can do that. It just has come out immediately. But I'm like, why? Why? There's plenty of other things to decorate. Decorate a table, your mantle. There's plenty of places to put a garland. Your staircase. Windows. Yeah. Why you gotta try to get a cheap-looking shower rod? And like I said, I could see if you did it like at your front door or even a door that's a regular size opening, and you put it all the way up against the top, but you're like, I don't want to drill, I don't want to attach anything, and you use it as a bar to attach stuff to, and it's completely hitting. It doesn't match as a mechanic, but that's what people don't do. They just and they go, I mean, they're they're at Walmart getting their shower curtain rod, and they walk over there and get that$9.99 garland that you need about 75 packs of to make it look like anything. They get two packs, and you can see yeah, it's just bad. The other thing that is on trend for Christmas that I've noticed, I like it when done correctly. But that's a big win. A win is the um the table pedestals for your tree. That can be good. That can be good, but it needs to be It's gotta be in scale. And it's gotta be right. All you want are the legs. Yeah. Like this much for your like a foot for the base and then if that. Yeah. But you don't take it up three feet and then put your it looks stupid. Yeah, they're doing it table height and then putting their tree in there. No, no, no, no, no. If that looks dumb. Don't you agree? I do. But evidently that's but now I've seen people that do it the way we're talking about, and then it's cute. It's gotta be the scale of the tree, too. You can't have a little ass tree on this big ass base. Yeah. You're right. I forgot about that one. I'm gonna put it. I mean, it does look good if it's done correctly. Let's call out some people on social media that haven't done it right. Like this ugly thing. Look, let's see how this does. Well, see, that would be fine if you cut it right there. But they didn't. Maybe she did. MB, I think, did one.

SPEAKER_01: 25:44

And a Christmas tree didn't hold it.

SPEAKER_00: 25:47

Hers look good. Yeah, hers is really short. And it's a scale. Yeah. It's actually beautiful table base. See, that's how you do it. The right way. She did do it right. That looks good. It does. But not when it's uh four feet off the damn floor. Look. Looks like it's sitting on a table. Yeah, look, she's just taking dummy is taking the table top off. She thinks she's done.

SPEAKER_01: 26:17

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00: 26:19

Drilling a hole down the center, and you know that tree's gonna be leaning. That dumbass took a blower just to blow off the sawdust. And then she's got this little That tree is from the dang. Mm-mm. And look, you see, there you go from beauty done beautifully, correctly, to all wrongly to just wrong. Run it. Run it. That is crazy. That is um one that I've been seeing. And you know they got those trees in there and they're just wobbly as hell. Didn't do it right. You know, if they look like that, they are just just wrong. Mm-hmm. So wrong. All right. So, anyway, now that we've knocked those people down. We should call. I wish there were phone numbers on there so we could call and say Houser Treaty. Why'd you do that? Why'd you do that? Let's talk about your design. We're the design police. In today's design police We need a TV show on Bramo called the Design Police. We just roll up the people. We do need, you know how they had fashion police and they would talk about everyone's outfits? We need that for decor. We could pop up the reel on the screen and we can analyze how they did it wrong. We're we're very good at that. Well, I've always said I think I needed to have a business where I just drove through neighborhoods and like had a little form that I fill out on what's wrong with their house, how they can improve the curb appeal, paint choices, everything. Just drop it off. Have the paint samples there. Like you pick through your Sherlin Williams samples, you attach it to the sheet. Here's my recommended for your door and shutters. Here's what you need to paint your porch. I mean, like my cousin's house, very pretty home, very nice neighborhood, across the street is an idiot. Now their door is like fluorescent. Yeah. And I'm like, I could look at that every day. I would have to go over and be like, uh-uh. Well, you did do that in your old neighborhood. Oh, I did. I forgot about that. Oh my God. We talked about that before. You did that. I forgot about I took them paint samples. Yes! I don't know why this is a totally new idea. You've done this. You've lived it. But see, nowadays we'd be the perfect time for a business like this because with AI and stuff, you could take a photo of their house with and then have it put in the colors you recommend. Print that out on the sheet, too. They had bought the house that I owned. So they bought the house from me next door to me. Yeah. So they were, you know, first of all, you're you bought my house, and you're gonna mess up with do changing. Your old house. Yeah. And the house you had flipped. Yeah. And so I pull in the driveway. I almost turned the car over. It they had painted this door. They were trying to do a Tiffany blue. Mm-hmm. And it was it was what was it like baby blue, powder blue, tropical flores. Tropical looking. It was horrible. I mean, it was so bad. And I was like, oh my gosh. We cannot leave this door this way. I cannot look at this, and you have ruined my Monet. And so we picked out paint. We got that thing repainted. We you picked out paint. I instructed. And you went over there, you went, knocked on their door, and said, This isn't working. You got to redo this. Here are the choices. Yes. I know. Yes. But that was a service I was offering. A free service. And it was free to the neighborhood. Yeah. You were just like. I was keeping them in line. Yeah. Keeping them from embarrassing themselves. This is the whole reason. So he moved out of the neighborhood, not because of that. But he's at the meal now, you know, which is a community, I guess you would say. Yeah. Um thing. So that's why he had to get his ass on the board at the at the home at the mobs, so that he could control the call. The first thing was they're gonna be doing some painting. I got to get on the board. That's what you said. You said they're gonna, there's some painting projects coming up, and I got to get on the board. He's on the board, all right. Listen. Sorry, y'all. I'm eating a ginger snap. Times are rough. So good. Um find them at thenasyfig.com. Yeah. Fancy pants. We um I mean, I don't know a lot. I don't there's I don't know anything about engineering. Right. I don't know anything about electrical work, plumbing. I mean, I know little would be dangerous, but would I have good taste? So let's just listen to that. Right. It's a talent. Right. It is. And somebody some people listen, if y'all know if y'all are out there and you're like, I don't like your damn taste. I think your taste is tacky. That's okay. You're just one of those that doesn't have good taste. That's pretty. Um, I mean, you know, I always try to consider. And sometimes there's not a good answer for a problem. He tries to listen to other people's suggestions, but in the end. Okay, here was one situation at at the mill. So that mill was built in 1895. Right. That brick was hand poured on site. Yes. There's no brick like that anywhere in this world. Right. And right there. We had an issue where we had interior brick on the exterior of the building. We had to do something to seal. Yeah. And the most cost-effective option was something that had would be had basically a paint. Yeah. A water sealant paint. Still extremely expensive. They came to me and they were going. I mean, they I listen, I am giving that board, I was not on that board at that time. I am giving them, I was off of it for three years. I am giving them props. Those people all on that board were smart enough to know, hmm, maybe we need to ask Steven about this. Uh-huh. I mean, that takes Okay, but see, here's the other side of that. Stephen feels like they valued your opinion. Like, oh my God, Stephen is the thing. They probably didn't want to hear me bitch. Yes, that's the truth. See, Stephen thinks, oh, I'm the one because they know I have good taste, a good eye for decor and color. They came and consulted me. But really, behind the scenes, it was like, we need to go ask Steven Mert because we don't want to have to listen to him. Y'all know how he will act if this doesn't look right. Either way, it was a good decision. Okay. And so, you know, and they were very, very nice. They were like, we have some people that wanting this, some people wanting this. And I was like, and they were, you know, and I was like, well, where are we leaning? And they said, Well, we're all thinking we want to match the paint to this brick. Oh, like color match the brick to the oh hell no. I said, it cannot be done. Right. That ship has sailed. Well, and brick has tones and textures and it's a hundred and what, a hundred and thirty years old. And if you tried to color match it, you're matching one pigment. Yeah, it's gonna be tacky. It's gonna look like there was graffiti there, and y'all had to like covered it up. Yeah. So I chose like an Urbane bronze. Yeah. And I'm like, that will go away. Yeah. And at first, you know, and there were people that didn't like it. But of course. At first, but it doesn't take away from the building. Yeah. I wanted something to just It's just that you don't even notice it. Disappears. And I don't know if you've even noticed it since we I don't know. You do not know. I noticed it because you pointed out, like, look how good this looks, because it's just one section, one big wall section. It does look really good. But then when you drive up, you don't notice no one else would even notice that's even there. No. I mean, I of course I wanted to take it to a next level and do, and I still would like to, but I just I I don't know. And I'm not smart enough to know on the construction side. I feel like it's probably not a good idea. But I thought it would have been cool to take like um stainless wire, like roping wire and like grow, right? Like Confederate jack, but it would have been beautiful. It would have been beautiful. But you don't want to be. It's not always best for the building. Yeah, you don't want anything on the building, and then when that paint does chip off eventually, you have to take the vine down and start over and all that. That's right. So that's if you need advice, just call Stephen or me. We're happy to give it to you. We need to call Bravo. We've got to we've got to do that. Do we have any Bravo connections out there? Does anyone have a connection to get us somewhere? You're gonna have to pause that right now and we'll flood this place. Well, I say it's time to wrap this up anyway. Do you have anything else? Can you wait two minutes? Yeah, I can wait two minutes. Are you gonna cut that out, I hope? No. Oh my gosh. This is the way we roll. I don't we barely have time to do a podcast. You think I got time to do that? We cut them out last season. You think I got time to edit this? Last Christmas season we didn't do them. No, we did podcasts all the way up through mid-December. Did we? Yeah. You keep thinking that. We stopped mid-December, so we only have a few more coming up, probably like three weeks. And then we'll stop and we don't do podcasts again until we get back from Atlanta Market in late January. So it's like a month. Five weeks, I think is what it normally is. Anyway, we do have to pull this baby over tonight. I know it's kind of a shorter one, but something's better than nothing, right? Right. Steven has to pull this baby over and take a little potty break, and then we have a live sell today because it's the holiday season and it's Sunday night. It's the holiday season.
