#76 - Did You Know Uber Comes to Fairview?

SPEAKER_02 0:00

I'm just here for support.

Tim 0:02

Mike is this is your show? Mike is a little nervous to be honest with you.

SPEAKER_02 0:06

I don't want to steal the show because this is you.

unknown 0:10

Don't forget that.

SPEAKER_01 0:11

It's me.

Tim 0:12

He's a little nervous about it. We're in about 77, 78 episodes.

SPEAKER_01 0:45

I love that.

Tim 0:46

And the Aaron has listened to a lot of those. How many do you think you've listened to?

SPEAKER_01 0:50

I think I'm caught up.

Tim 0:52

That's amazing. Mike is a little Mike's a little nervous. He's done this several times, but he gets very nervous before we do this.

SPEAKER_02 0:59

I'm surrounded by greatness. Our number one. Could we get say Aaron's our number one fan? Yeah, she probably is.

SPEAKER_01 1:07

I am.

Tim 1:08

And that's why I invited her to come on the show. I didn't think that you would actually come all the way out here.

SPEAKER_01 1:12

Of course. What? But you did. But even to put I'm really just here to meet your wife.

Tim 1:20

That's why I show up too much. To make it even better, she took an Uber all the way from the other side of the world to Fairview.

SPEAKER_01 1:30

I'm a responsible adult.

Tim 1:32

She is a responsible adult. I thought that was we can learn something from that. Well, she's responsible. And I was thinking to myself, I'm like, an Uber all the way out here, as opposed to, well, wink wink. I wouldn't, I wouldn't drink and drive at all. But then I was reading in the news about cars in the future, AI is going to determine if you've been drinking. No way. And I was like, I don't know if I like that. Because there's a lot of times or not, right? That I've had a few drinks. I don't think it's like a breathalyzer. I think it's like um, it's just seeing like if you're your body movement. Yeah, like if you're just kind of sloppy. I don't think so. It's pretty subjective, though. Yeah, I know. Maybe I don't walk straight. You don't walk straight. No. I'm always worried, like if I get pulled over and have to walk a line, I can't I can't do it anyway.

SPEAKER_01 2:25

Maybe you have to like register yourself sober. Maybe so they have like a a baseline? Yeah.

Tim 2:32

Interesting. Yeah, that may be true. But anyway, so she took an Uber all the way out here.

SPEAKER_01 2:37

Uber black.

Tim 2:38

So she did you really? You were a badass. I was about to say when we were sitting out there and you rolled up, I said, Mike, look at that. That's like a fancy card. Rolling in style. Wow. I mean, look, I'll get you an Uber Eco or whatever home.

SPEAKER_02 2:56

So is that the one with the personal driver? Yeah. Like, and did he have like a suit on?

SPEAKER_01 3:01

So they usually do. This guy today did not. So I was a little disappointed. But it was nice because I'm the type of person when I get in my Uber, I don't want you to talk to me. Yeah, I don't want to have conversation with you. Like, let me just do my thing. And he was great. He was super quiet.

SPEAKER_02 3:17

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 3:18

Asked me if I had a particular serious XM radio station I wanted to listen to. And after that, I didn't hear from the rest of the ride.

Tim 3:25

You should have told him you shut your mouth. You shouldn't have said anything to me to begin with.

SPEAKER_02 3:29

Speak when spoken to. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 3:31

You don't even know who I am.

Tim 3:33

I paid extra for you to not say something.

SPEAKER_01 3:35

So well, good.

Tim 3:37

Well, now that you're out here, welcome to Fairview.

SPEAKER_01 3:39

Thank you.

Tim 3:40

Welcome to the Fairview Social Podcast.

SPEAKER_01 3:42

Glad to be here.

Tim 3:43

You may or may not know this, but you can visit the website at WWE. She probably does know that the Fairview Social Podcast.com. You can also listen. What do you listen to us on?

SPEAKER_01 3:55

Uh Spotify.

Tim 3:59

Yeah, I've just learned that myself.

SPEAKER_01 4:00

Now there have been some episodes that I will go back and re-watch just because I need the visual.

Tim 4:06

That's right. You're a little you're a listening person.

SPEAKER_02 4:09

I'm a listening person too.

Tim 4:10

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:10

Usually when I'm driving around, I'll listen to it. But now that I'm home a lot more, I'm able to actually like watch things.

SPEAKER_02 4:17

Awesome.

SPEAKER_01 4:18

So I went back and watched the um the chip. The chip that y'all recently did.

Tim 4:26

I think I told this story afterward. Actually, I didn't tell this story, but that episode had um Hayden and Joseph on there, and they did that chip. Now, what you may or may not know is there was only they only took like a little bite of the chip.

SPEAKER_02 4:41

Yeah.

Tim 4:42

And so the rest of the chip they threw in this trash can that I have under my desk right here.

SPEAKER_01 4:47

Did the dog get it?

Tim 4:48

So the next day I had to put the dog in here, and we always know to move that trash out. Nikki moved that trash out, but she forgot that I had this one under here. So I get home from work and come out here, and there's shit everywhere. Oh my god. And then I look and this is like pull, this is like turned over, and I'm and I'm like looking at the trash on the floor, and it was like the chip wrapped wrapper, and I was like, oh Bennett's gonna have a good time later. Oh my god. I don't know if he shit his brains out or what. Oh god. But yeah, he did he he got in it for sure.

SPEAKER_02 5:23

Hayden and Joseph are pretty funny together because they did the smelling salts too.

Tim 5:27

Yeah, which is pretty comical. Yeah. Yeah, they're crazy. They always want me to do that. And I'm like, I'm not doing that. No. As I get older, I can't handle the hot stuff anymore.

SPEAKER_01 5:38

I've never been able to handle hot.

Tim 5:40

You're not a hot person? My tongue hurts. How about smelling salts?

SPEAKER_01 5:43

Uh, that's a hard pass. I don't even want to find out.

SPEAKER_02 5:46

I we did the smelling salts like after that, and I had it like out here, and I was like, couldn't even barely do it.

SPEAKER_01 5:51

Yeah, hard pass.

Tim 5:53

Well, Aaron used to work with us. He left what, a month and a half or two ago?

SPEAKER_01 5:59

March 13th.

Tim 6:01

She's taken uh Nikki's stance on life on being um fully semi-retired.

SPEAKER_01 6:07

It's amazing. She wasn't wrong. I advise it to anybody that can take away.

SPEAKER_02 6:13

Well, you had like five jobs, so you you're just you just shed one.

SPEAKER_01 6:17

Yeah.

Tim 6:18

Well, and I know that you're the same. She says that she's fully semi-retired, but she's got all the things, the projects that she's doing in school. You were just talking about doing your contractor's license stuff, and there's always something to do.

SPEAKER_01 6:32

Yeah, I find more self-care has come into my life, which is really nice.

SPEAKER_02 6:38

That's good. Interesting. Yeah. Maybe I need to can you uh elaborate on that?

SPEAKER_01 6:43

Um, so I sleep in until probably about I think about 7 40, everybody leaves the house. So then I get out of bed. Wow, take my dogs outside, sun tan for 10-15 minutes while the dogs run around.

SPEAKER_02 6:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 6:59

Come back inside, work out for an hour.

SPEAKER_02 7:02

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_01 7:05

Go have lunch with friends, go to the spa, you know, really, whatever I want to do.

Tim 7:11

Let me tell you how my mornings go. Usually I'm rolling out of bed, hungover, I go to the bathroom, and I stumble to turn the shower on. I take a shower, and then I leave within like 20 minutes of like waking up and taking a shower, and then I go to work, and then I come home and I watch TV out here.

SPEAKER_01 7:33

Yeah. I mean, I definitely have some TV time in my day.

SPEAKER_02 7:36

You should. Uh, you a soap opera?

SPEAKER_01 7:39

No.

SPEAKER_02 7:39

What are you watching?

SPEAKER_01 7:40

Um, let's see. Right now I'm watching oh gosh, what is it called? Something good neighbor or something like that. Friends and neighbors? Yes. On Apple TV? Yes. Yeah.

Tim 7:51

Have you watched the most recent episode of that that came out yesterday? No. It's good.

SPEAKER_01 7:55

Yeah, I have not.

Tim 7:56

John Ham.

SPEAKER_01 7:57

I didn't realize I was a whole season behind.

Tim 8:00

Oh, you didn't watch the first season?

SPEAKER_01 8:01

I had no idea. So then I was finished with season one and I was like, dang. And I was like, wait, there's more. I love it.

Tim 8:10

Just started watching that too. Yeah, that's a good show. John Ham is good.

SPEAKER_02 8:13

He's a good actor. He's got a his he didn't know he was gonna become an actor until like his 30s. Yeah, I just I just heard a little podcast he was on.

Tim 8:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 8:22

I mean, he was living paycheck to paycheck, struggling to pay rent, and then Mad Men. Mad Men made a fan.

Tim 8:29

I never watched it either, but I heard that I hear that's a great show. It's a good one.

SPEAKER_01 8:32

And then I just started watching that Margot's Got No Money or something like that.

Tim 8:37

Margot's Got Money Troubles. You know what? I was texting Joseph about this, and I, you know, it wasn't anything like what I expected it to be. Because it's got uh Dakota Fanning and L Fanning, I guess, is like you know, the sisters there. I think it's L Fanning that stars in it, and she's like naked within the first like five minutes of the show. And I texted Joseph, I was like, is it a normal thing that L Fanning is naked in a show? Because I don't know that I've ever seen that. And he's like, I don't think so. I don't know if I can.

SPEAKER_02 9:07

I know one of them was like a child. Were they both child stars?

Tim 9:10

Yeah, both of them were. Okay, I don't know that show. It's on Apple TV. Okay, it's actually really good. It's got Nick Olperman, or how do you say that? Yeah, I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 9:20

The worst of people's names.

Tim 9:22

He's really good in it. It's got Michelle Pfeiffer. Oh, wow. It's it's it's actually really good. To try that one.

SPEAKER_01 9:27

I'm sure my husband thinks all I do is watch softcore porn all day because all the shows that I'm watching, there's like sex everywhere.

Tim 9:35

Well, I mean, every time you turn around on friends and neighbors, you're seeing John Ham's ass because he's nailing somebody in there.

SPEAKER_01 9:41

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. He was like, Do you watch anything that there's not a sex scene in? I was like, I guess not.

Tim 9:48

It's not like you're well, maybe you do. Maybe you get online and you're like, Yeah, what's the wrong dude show that I can watch? So that way it's like when my kids when my kids or husband walk in, this is what I'm watching, so that they see John Ham boning somebody. Well, that's good. There, so yeah, there's pl there's plenty, I'm sure there's plenty going on, but it's good that you left because you were unhappy.

SPEAKER_01 10:16

Yes.

Tim 10:17

And now you're happy.

SPEAKER_01 10:18

Yes.

Tim 10:19

What a big deal, huh?

SPEAKER_01 10:20

Yeah. They're scary. Sure.

Tim 10:23

But well, that's what that's what's funny about it, is like I've told this story before, but like when I used to have to let people go from work, it's like it sucks doing it, but I just wanted to tell them this will be the best thing that has ever happened to you because you're kind of forced into another phase of your life. Nobody likes change. Yeah, it's pretty uh bold to be able to take that that leap.

SPEAKER_01 10:44

Yeah. A wise man told me before I made the official announcement that I was leaving that it was going to be like you're wearing sunglasses and you go outside, you take the sunglasses off, and it is bright as shit. Yeah, it's amazing.

SPEAKER_02 11:00

I'm I you don't have to name names, but do we know this wise man? Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 11:03

Yeah.

Tim 11:04

You know, Nikki was the same because she'd been working at the church for 10 years. And it's funny to think like, well, I guess I think it's probably known that working in ministry usually sucks, and there's the same dramas that you know that are in normal workplaces having to deal with all that, and then the second that she left, it was like the massive weight off of your shoulders. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:27

There were a few people that I ran into a few weeks after leaving, and they're like, You're literally glowing.

Tim 11:33

Yeah, I almost didn't even recognize.

SPEAKER_01 11:36

I'm carrying that around, like I didn't even realize I was carrying around this weight. Well, how do how do you think we look? I love you guys. You look amazing.

Tim 11:46

We look the same as always, like old and tired, tired, worn out. But we're we're still here, you know. We're still that's why we have to do the podcast all the time, is because it's like the only thing that keeps our sanity.

SPEAKER_02 11:58

The best thing was we spent like an hour out there just sitting in the the sun, just chatting. Yeah, it was relaxing. Yeah, it was awesome.

SPEAKER_00 12:06

You have to do that.

Tim 12:07

Yeah, I mean, that's the problem is Mike and I were talking about this, like how we live in an Amazon prime world where everybody wants everything right now. And it's like even to stop and sit out there for an hour when we were hanging out, it's like not normal.

SPEAKER_02 12:20

I make Amazon a lawn chair and put it out in the Brentwood office just out in the parking lot. You should just in 15 minutes. You should night in the morning. You say look, listen.

unknown 12:30

Yeah, you're allowed.

SPEAKER_02 12:31

There you go. I might have a little mental health timer. I'll let the guys do the stretch and flex. I'll just sit there with my my feet up.

SPEAKER_01 12:38

Maybe the Tennessee Labor Department would tell you that you get those 15 minutes.

Tim 12:43

Maybe have yourself a little margarita while they're stretching. Maybe get some sunglasses, wear your shorts. Maybe hang out. Guys, I'm I'm I'll begin in 15 minutes. I'll put my vitamin D. Put my nice clothes on in 15 minutes.

SPEAKER_02 12:55

I need my Vit D.

Tim 12:56

Vit D? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 12:58

It's a big deal. Morning light. I mean, everybody talks about that's the first thing you should get.

Tim 13:03

Yeah, that's true.

SPEAKER_02 13:04

Good morning. That is true. Drink a glass of water and and look at natural light.

Tim 13:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 13:10

And Aaron's doing it.

Tim 13:12

Well, I am a little disappointed because Aaron told me that she's gonna bring me a shirt and she forgot it.

SPEAKER_01 13:18

I was so excited to get out of the house to get here and I forgot it.

Tim 13:21

That's fine.

SPEAKER_01 13:22

But guess what? That means you get to see me on Monday also. Because I'm gonna bring it to you.

Tim 13:26

You can bring you can bring it on. I was gonna when you brought it, I was gonna put it on so I could represent. Oh. So maybe one one of the 16 people might say, Hey, you know what? What is what is OEM exactly?

SPEAKER_01 13:37

Uh it's OES.

Tim 13:39

OES. What is OS? What is OS? I thought both the errands were coming today.

SPEAKER_02 13:45

No. I did too.

SPEAKER_01 13:46

That's he is on a spill. He left the house this morning at about, I don't know, 6 a.m.

Tim 13:52

Wow. In Tennessee?

SPEAKER_01 13:53

Yes.

Tim 13:54

All right. So tell us exactly his company, like how it came to be, and like what exactly it does.

SPEAKER_01 14:00

It's ours.

Tim 14:01

Okay. Your y'all y'all's company. What do you do?

SPEAKER_01 14:05

Uh, so there's actually three of us. So it's me, my husband, and we have a business partner. Um, it's an environmental company, so they do mostly fuel spills, um, tractor trailer wrecks, bust their fuel tanks, we go clean it up. We're kind of like um Captain Planet.

SPEAKER_02 14:24

Wait, what the the the project you were on doing on Old Hickory Boulevard in Bellevue, that wasn't a fuel leak, was it? That was an environmental leak, wasn't it? When?

SPEAKER_01 14:34

A while ago?

SPEAKER_02 14:35

No, just last in the last year, when we finished the other job down in Tallahoma. You'll yeah, I think you all went right to that one. Right by Highway 70 on Old Hickory Boulevard.

SPEAKER_01 14:45

I don't know. It may have been most likely fuel. Most of the stuff we do is fuel, okay, hydraulic oil, stuff like that. Um, today, this morning it's milk.

Tim 14:56

I mean, what does he do to clean it up? What do you gotta do to clean that up?

SPEAKER_01 15:00

So you contain it, like you try to prevent more of it going into the soil.

Tim 15:05

Just spray it out into the put some cereal in it.

SPEAKER_02 15:09

Yes. Aaron, you're gonna see a charge for a million dollars worth of lucky charms. Yeah.

Tim 15:16

We're filling it back up. Everybody like stops and they get stopped and used anima spoon. Hey, get come on, everybody eat your lucky charms.

SPEAKER_01 15:27

Yeah, no, so you contain it, um, and then they use like oil dry or stuff like that to kind of get what's on the hard surfaces, but then anything that goes into the soil, they have to remediate that soil. So they dig it out and bring in new stuff.

Tim 15:42

Oh, really? So they do so you guys do like all of that part of it bringing in the dirt.

SPEAKER_01 15:46

And if it gets in the waterways, they have to trail it down as far as they can and kind of contain it in the waterway as well.

Tim 15:53

Even milk?

SPEAKER_01 15:55

Milk. It apparently it depletes the oxygen in the water and will kill the fish.

Tim 16:00

Oh wow. Oh wow, I didn't know that.

SPEAKER_01 16:02

I learned that from my husband, I didn't know that either.

Tim 16:04

I mean, I I can imagine like uh gas or hydraulic, that can be awful.

SPEAKER_02 16:09

I mean, I saw it firsthand last year with the project down south off of 24. Uh, it's pretty impressive. With the pro the whole process of cleaning. To get it out of the pond and tracking it back to the to where it started and just like the product of putting on the water to help absorb because it rises to the top, yeah, and it separates, and then they can just kind of skim it off.

Tim 16:34

So who pay who pays for something like that? If something happens on the interstate, like who pays for that?

SPEAKER_01 16:39

The state insurance companies.

Tim 16:41

Okay. Man, is there a lot of stuff that happens like that?

SPEAKER_01 16:46

Yeah. We in the last I'd say two weeks have received a call a day. No way. Which is unheard of.

unknown 16:54

Wow.

SPEAKER_01 16:54

Yeah, we're we're doing really well.

Tim 16:56

That's good. That's awesome.

SPEAKER_01 16:58

Yeah, it was kind of a good time for me to leave. Not that I do anything really right now, but well, I mean, you guys are setting up the framework. We're we're getting to where there's gonna be a lot more in-office stuff that they're gonna need help with.

SPEAKER_02 17:10

Yeah, that's great.

Tim 17:11

Jeez, yeah, that is awesome.

SPEAKER_02 17:13

That's where was the milk spill today? Can you say it?

SPEAKER_01 17:16

Uh it's down in Shelbyville.

Tim 17:19

So they just get a call and they're like, all right, and then you just jump in and get out of bed and go. So it could be any time of day or night.

SPEAKER_01 17:27

Yeah, that's why it's hard to find employees because nobody wants to be on call 24-7, and that's what we do.

Tim 17:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:33

I mean, we when my husband proposed to me, he was in the environmental business still, and uh that right after he proposed, we went to go have dinner at the melting pot with his family, and the waitress came up and was like, Um, you have a phone call, and it was his boss, like, I need you, we've got a big paint spill, I need you to go, and so we had to go.

Tim 17:58

That sucks.

SPEAKER_01 17:59

But 'tis the life I chose.

Tim 18:01

I was gonna say it was the life that you chose.

SPEAKER_01 18:03

Yeah.

Tim 18:04

That's pretty awesome. And is there a lot of companies that do that, or is it pretty niche thing?

SPEAKER_01 18:09

Um I mean, yeah, we have competitors out there, um, but most people think like the average person of oh, you just dust it off and move on, but no. You've got environmental EMA people that you can't just they're probably all over it.

Tim 18:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 18:29

Yeah, the the the project I saw, they were coming from Georgia to like check on that work. Because there was an office in Georgia for the EPA or something. I could be totally wrong. Yeah, I don't know. I remember sitting with those guys. I had no idea. You probably are wrong, Mike. 100%.

SPEAKER_01 18:45

You're talking about the one in Tullahoma?

SPEAKER_02 18:47

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 18:48

Oh, yeah, that was huge.

SPEAKER_02 18:49

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 18:50

Yeah, run another big one that we've been out there for a few months now.

SPEAKER_02 18:55

They had back in Tullahoma?

SPEAKER_01 18:57

No, somewhere else. They had uh fuel tanks that were leaking for an un unknown amount of years. So it's a mess.

Tim 19:06

Yeah. Sounds like a mess. And people protect that you guys can clean out.

SPEAKER_02 19:11

We can. Not only like government stuff, but then you got environmental just people who if they can't caught, you know, maybe a fish, a certain type of fish, is endangered. They're probably coming in complaining and raising red flags. Uh I met a guy that is all about salamanders. Salamanders.

SPEAKER_01 19:33

Like that's his job to protect the salamanders.

SPEAKER_02 19:37

And we picked up a job over off Maya Drive, and we can't cut in a certain area because there's a protected salamander there. And it's been identified. They know there's eggs there. So it is corn quarantined off, maybe.

SPEAKER_01 19:53

Yeah, I was talking to my husband about that a little while ago. We were driving by Opry, and you know, they've got those wetlands there, and like you can't touch them. He's like, you can't even go in there if the oil is spilled in there, you have to find it. Well, you can't go in there, period.

Tim 20:08

So, how do you get it cleaned up?

SPEAKER_01 20:09

I have no idea.

Tim 20:10

Yeah. It probably probably just stays the oil just stays there.

SPEAKER_01 20:14

Well, no, they'd have to get it out to like protect the species that they're trying to protect.

Tim 20:21

Yeah. Over there down the road from your house, over there across from Endsworth, um, at least back then, whenever I was actively dealing with that, and right there on Highway 100, you're not allowed to cut or anything because of something.

SPEAKER_02 20:35

That's right, the little buffer across from Endsworth.

Tim 20:37

I don't know if it's like uh is it because there's some kind of animal there?

SPEAKER_02 20:41

Uh probably, or something in the soil that can get in leach into the Harpeth River right there.

Tim 20:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 20:47

You know, remember when they were trying to build 840 past um 65? Yeah. And all these people were fighting more salamanders. Is it because of that? Yeah. I mean, it's no joke. This guy was fascinating. Kate had to build a$250,000 bridge because of salamanders down at school. Or school. Look, I'm all about the colour.

SPEAKER_01 21:06

See, and people want to talk trash about California building a bridge for their mountain lions. Come on, we're building bridges for salads at the mountain line.

SPEAKER_02 21:13

The bridge where they can walk across.

SPEAKER_01 21:15

The California cougar. Yeah. Yeah.

Tim 21:18

Yeah, but they're just gonna walk across that bridge so they can go eat something. I know, go kill something.

SPEAKER_01 21:23

Well, they're hungry.

Tim 21:24

Well, they're predators. They can eat us. But you are right.

SPEAKER_01 21:29

Keep your dogs inside.

Tim 21:30

I mean, we all have, you know, Florida's got the damn sea turtles and stuff, and you know, right, can't have the lights, the certain lights at night. Apparently, here in Tennessee, we care about the salamanders. Look, I'm all about I care about the salamanders too, but I don't want it holding up progress of things.

SPEAKER_02 21:47

You get one person that just wants to protest it, that's all it takes. And then they call the news. Well, again, I gotta be really careful what you do and how you do it.

Tim 21:56

I mean, I ain't out there hunting salamanders or anything.

SPEAKER_02 21:58

We don't know that, we don't know what you're doing.

Tim 22:00

I mean I could be out there with my headlamp frog frog gigging thing, but you know, trying to get salamanders with it. My cat's always throwing lizards on my front porch, so maybe I'll take my cat out there and hunt some salamanders. You could probably right down below the in the in the hollow down there. We call that a holler out here. That's not a hollow, Mike.

SPEAKER_02 22:23

No, holler.

Tim 22:23

Holler. Holler. Holler. Holler.

SPEAKER_01 22:25

Holler.

Tim 22:26

Holler. I'm from the north.

SPEAKER_04 22:29

I was gonna say Aaron's from the west.

Tim 22:33

What, you mean this?

SPEAKER_04 22:34

Say what? I love that. Say what? Say what?

Tim 22:41

It never gets off.

SPEAKER_02 22:42

I sent them a text with that this week and nobody replied it. I'm like, dang, it lost my my charm.

Tim 22:48

I saw immediately when I it came up and it was three seconds. I was like, I know what that is.

SPEAKER_01 22:52

It was say what's the airplane runway. Yes, it is. I like that.

Tim 22:59

You know what? We need to find out about that plane. That whole area's gone. That whole thing's gone. Well, last time we talked, we said that they Eric said that they apparently moved it to Burns or Bon Aqua or something.

SPEAKER_02 23:10

We should send Zach on a little fact-finding mission.

Tim 23:13

Yeah, we do.

SPEAKER_02 23:14

He's our pilot.

Tim 23:15

Yeah. We need you to pilot this mission. Go find out.

SPEAKER_02 23:19

I'll go cut the grass out there so you can land.

Tim 23:22

Poor Zach. Everybody's mad that I podcast with Zach for so long, but you know, Zach, he he'll he'll talk to you. He's a fascinating guy. He's a good-looking young guy, right? Yeah. Yeah. ZC.

SPEAKER_01 23:34

He did a little bit with construction when I was there.

SPEAKER_02 23:36

Yeah. Oh, that hotel.

SPEAKER_01 23:39

Yeah, I don't. It was a short kind of little blip that he was helping us, but then right after that, he was like, peace out.

Tim 23:48

Yeah, he was. Man, he was like the savior of it all. You know, they were he was like the guy that's a good-looking guy, you know, clean cut, dress nice. Yeah, he's like smart, fit the part. And it's like we had big plans for him. You just kind of get him into the company as an account manager. He's like suckers. He worked there for like what an uh a year and a half, maybe a year and a half. It was about a year.

SPEAKER_02 24:11

He's gone, and then he was gone. Yeah. He's got some big goals. I'll let him come back and talk.

SPEAKER_01 24:17

That's good.

SPEAKER_02 24:18

Yeah. Well, he needs to go, he's got a good thing.

SPEAKER_01 24:20

That's what life's about. You gotta have goals.

Tim 24:22

You're right about that. Sure. You're right about that. But we need Zach to include us and let us know what his goals are. Because we maybe we could help.

SPEAKER_02 24:33

Yeah.

Tim 24:34

Maybe you could help. Maybe. I don't know how helpful I would be on that.

SPEAKER_02 24:37

Maybe. He just needs to pull the trigger. I mean, he's hearing what Aaron's talking about, he just needs to pull the trigger on some stuff.

SPEAKER_01 24:44

That's yeah, that's the hardest thing. Um, I mean, I kind of had a little bit of an advantage pulling the trigger because we've been in business for four years already. So it was kind of already established. But four years ago, when my husband came to me and said we're we're gonna jump and do our own thing, it was terrifying. Very terrifying, you know. Um, but I also had income, so we would have been okay, you know. But uh it worked out and it's just getting busier.

Tim 25:17

That's that's good. That's what that's what you need. Gives us hope. Yeah. Yeah. Well, kind of for me, the idea is that you know, Nikki's in school right now to be a brain scientist or something. So I'm like, I need you to become a brain scientist so that I can fully semi-retire after you do that and just go fill my vending machines. That was that's like the plan.

SPEAKER_02 25:40

That's funny.

Tim 25:41

She's fulfilling her part, I'm fulfilling mine currently working, but my vending machines, they're not doing so great.

SPEAKER_01 25:49

Are they out? Have you placed some?

Tim 25:52

I've got three out at work all okay. I got three of them, and I was dead wrong about people using the crap out of them really in those busy parts a day. But I'm working on getting new locations, so all is not lost.

SPEAKER_01 26:06

Have you asked people like why are you what this beautiful thing is here with all this amazing food in there? It's probably because you don't have my cookie troubles in there.

Tim 26:17

If you get them, then I'll give you a lot of things.

SPEAKER_01 26:20

I don't know if I can make that many.

Tim 26:21

But you know what the problem is?

SPEAKER_02 26:23

Well, you you just put it in between 12 and like three. Now instead of watching uh a TV show twice a week, watching John Hamm nail somebody.

Tim 26:33

Yeah, you're gonna run out of episodes. You could do it. Here's the problem it keeps it cool. I've even thought about you in the past, like when I first started doing it, I was like, I can get Aaron's to put some of her uh her baked goods and stuff in there. And then I'm like, no, because what happened was is I put like orange juice and lunchables in there. And the lunchables was kind of like the testing the stuff that has an expiration date before I go and get sandwiches to put in there because then you that's quicker turnaround. I didn't sell hardly any of that, like anything at all. So in my refrigerator right now, if you guys are hungry when we're done, I've got a lot of lunchables. They're expired in a few days, but they're still good. That's funny.

SPEAKER_01 27:12

I mean, there's enough preservatives in there to even expire. Well, they're cool, they're just legally obligated to put a date on there.

Tim 27:20

Well, the thing is, is I don't want somebody getting sick or something. Today I went to go refill them and I noticed all I have powder donuts and chocolate donuts, you know, like those little gas station ones that you did that got like five or six in there, and all of them expired yesterday. And so I pulled them all out. I came home with like a bucket full of them, and there were some guys out there like dispatching. I was like, hey guys, you want some donuts? And you're like, Oh yeah, and so like gave them like 20 of them. I was like, they're still good, they're expired today, but they're still good.

SPEAKER_02 27:50

Those guys ain't looking at it, yeah.

Tim 27:52

I wouldn't look at it, but then I got a whole nother load of them up there, so it's slow start, and everything's paid for, so I have the machines, I just need to find them a nice home.

SPEAKER_01 28:03

Well, maybe people don't realize, like it's new. So, how many people coming to the shop are like oh, there's this big beautiful machine, and there's actually food in there? They probably maybe don't think that they have access to that.

Tim 28:20

Well, some people they do have access because I've gone out there and told them during the stretch in the mornings like, hey, use this food. But I will say that I've I've seen these machines before in like an airport or something, and I was confused because I I'm like, where do I put my money at? Because these are AI machines where you scan your card and then it unlocks the door and you just grab what you want.

SPEAKER_01 28:47

Yeah.

Tim 28:48

And it cameras watch and determine what you've bought.

SPEAKER_01 28:51

Those things trip me out. Even like at the Titan Stadium, they had something similar, and then like Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 28:57

You walk in, you just walk out and it knows what you got. Yeah, yeah.

Tim 29:00

Well, so that's what I'm saying. Like it was, you know, you're you're just when I saw it at the airport, I'm like, I don't want people to think I'm stealing this, so I'm just not gonna use this. So that's why I like went there and said, hey, this is how you do this. This is you know, scan your card, it knows what you got. And if something's messed up, just you know, let me know. But it's never messed up anything.

SPEAKER_00 29:20

Yeah.

Tim 29:21

So it's new, you're right. But I think that I've got three in pretty much one location.

SPEAKER_01 29:28

You got a bunch of candy in there?

Tim 29:30

Candy. I'm waiting for the Kit Katz. I did get a Twix this week. There's some Twix in there. There's there's some things in there, there's a lot of good things in there.

SPEAKER_01 29:39

Maybe your prices are too high.

Tim 29:41

They're not. They're not. No, they're very reasonable. Actually lower than the gas than the gas station. Yeah, yeah. I did that perfectly. But I'm actually I told, did you watch the episode that I did with the TriStar CEO?

SPEAKER_00 29:56

Yeah.

Tim 29:57

So after I finished that episode with him, he was like, Is there anything we can do for you?

SPEAKER_01 30:02

And I was like, Yes.

Tim 30:04

I was like, actually, yes, there is. I need you to allow me to put my vending machines in the ER if you if you get the bid out here in Fairview. And he was like, Done. I was like, okay, I'm gonna hold you to that. So next week I have St. Thomas because in Fairview, St. Thomas, Ascension, and TriStar Horizon are like battling it out to to put an ER out here.

SPEAKER_00 30:27

Yeah.

Tim 30:27

So I have St. Thomas coming on next week. And when we get done, I'm gonna ask him the same thing so that like I'd win either way.

SPEAKER_01 30:34

I can put my decision supposed to be made at like the end of the month, yeah, like May 23rd or something like that.

Tim 30:40

But so I'm kind of hoping there's that. My sister-in-law works at St. Thomas, and we got a I'm moving one of from the Donaldson branch, I'm moving that machine to St. Thomas.

SPEAKER_01 30:52

Okay, I was gonna say, why don't you hit the existing St. Thomas's and yeah? Well the problem with it is it's a lot of places like already have who I mean you have a whole catalog of customers that you could reach out to if you really wanted to. Like, let's be real. I'm waiting I'm I'm waiting to see how you got like 20 years under your belt of customers that you could reach out to.

Tim 31:15

And I've been thinking about that lately, but I think more than anything, I'm glad that they're where they are because I'm able to work out the kinks of sure how running these machines and this business is yeah, so that when they do go to a place that I'm not at you know, watching them regularly, like I'll know what to expect. And so this like practice right now. Yeah, it's only been a month.

SPEAKER_01 31:38

So is Hayden gonna take over the business in New York for you?

Tim 31:41

He can he can.

SPEAKER_01 31:42

I mean, does he really want to?

Tim 31:44

I know he's focused on his other stuff, but well, if if I bought machines, he I'm sure that he would go out and find somewhere to put them and he would manage it, I'm sure. Sure. But what would be better, Aaron, is if he came here and managed the machines here.

SPEAKER_01 31:58

Um, so I'm an outsider looking in. He doesn't want to come home. Leave the party alone. Someone does pay attention to the leave the poor kid alone. He is living his best life.

SPEAKER_02 32:11

She does pay attention, someone pays attention, but you're absolutely right.

Tim 32:14

He has no no desire at all to come home, and that's fine.

SPEAKER_01 32:18

Yeah.

Tim 32:19

He he can't. I get it though.

SPEAKER_01 32:21

I mean, my kid is in Kentucky at school. I get it. It sucks when they're gone, but but really, like, I get excited when he comes home. Like, first year, he came home almost every weekend. Um, I say first semester, and then second semester, he got involved with a paternity, still came home a little bit more often. Second year, he gone. We almost never see him. Yeah, and like we give him shit. Like, if he comes in town, because he does have a friend that he visits often. When he comes in town, I'm like, you can't come into town and not at least stop at home once just for a hug, just something.

Tim 33:04

He'll come it all, they always come back around. I mean, I did that with my family. I was like, I'm getting out of here, I don't want to see any of you again. And then like I never left Fairview.

SPEAKER_00 33:14

Yeah.

Tim 33:15

So but yeah, you'll he'll he'll come back around after he gets it all out of his system. He's probably out there partying.

SPEAKER_01 33:21

Where is he in Kentucky again? He's at Western Kentucky.

Tim 33:24

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's not that far.

SPEAKER_01 33:25

No, it's not, and it's really nice, like um, because when they do like family events, um, I'm able to go up there.

Tim 33:32

What grade is he in?

SPEAKER_01 33:33

He's a sophomore. He's just right he's the finals are next week, so he's wrapping up.

SPEAKER_02 33:37

Is he coming home for the summer? Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_01 33:39

I'm so excited.

Tim 33:40

So our our neighbor's son is in western Kentucky, so they may even know each other. Jack, because he's Jack's age. Have you driven up there?

SPEAKER_01 33:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 33:50

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 33:50

Yeah, so they the last two years, um, they do a parents weekend, like the I'd say like a few weeks after school has started. Yeah. And it's right when football season starts. So they do a parents' weekend, and you go up there, and the um the fraternities, they like make food for the parents, and you really just like hang out, and I live my best college life when I'm there.

Tim 34:21

You're living college life.

SPEAKER_01 34:23

Yeah, it's so much fun like going and tailgating with the frat boys. Like, they're so much fun. Like, I found my people.

SPEAKER_02 34:34

That's amazing.

SPEAKER_01 34:35

Yeah, I don't fit in with your stereotypical like mom group. Like, I'd rather hang out with the teenagers.

Tim 34:41

Yeah. You roll up in your life, you roll up in your fancy Uber like you did here.

SPEAKER_01 34:46

I do.

SPEAKER_02 34:48

Wait, you Uber all the way up there? Please tell me. Okay. No, no, no.

SPEAKER_01 34:52

But I do I do drive up there. I'll get a hotel and I'll stay the night. Um, that like they had mom's weekend a couple weekends ago, but I ended up not going because he had a concert that he was gonna go to. And I said, Well, I'm not gonna go up there and have a time limit on like how long we hang out before you leave. So I said, we just won't go. But he's coming home, so we're gonna go do lunch. And he's like, I would rather go have lunch with you than stand around the frat house and drink beer with you. It's like, sounds great to me. Let's do this.

Tim 35:21

Sounds like a good son. He is a good kid. He is, yeah. I think we all have good kids.

SPEAKER_01 35:27

Somehow I lucked out because if mine were anything like me, they may be, you just don't know.

Tim 35:35

They're just good at hiding. They're just finding their ways.

SPEAKER_01 35:38

Maybe, yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, my daughter is a God-fearing woman at this point, and that's amazing. I think God knew what she needed.

Tim 35:47

And how old is she now?

SPEAKER_01 35:49

She's 16.

Tim 35:50

16. Yeah. Driving?

SPEAKER_01 35:52

She is driving. She's going to prom tonight.

Tim 35:56

Oh, prom? Cool. Yeah. What the hell are you doing here? You need to be doing mom things and taking pictures.

SPEAKER_01 36:01

No, because it's not her prom.

Tim 36:03

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 36:04

Um, she's her senior friend invited her to go. So I'm like, you get a pass this time. I said, but your prom, I expect you to get ready here. Right.

SPEAKER_02 36:16

So 60, is she sophomore or junior?

SPEAKER_01 36:18

She's a sophomore.

SPEAKER_02 36:19

Okay. Okay. So then you usually don't have a sophomore.

SPEAKER_01 36:22

No, it's it's for juniors and seniors. Sure.

SPEAKER_02 36:25

What school?

SPEAKER_01 36:25

She's at Green Hill High School.

SPEAKER_02 36:26

Okay, okay. So, okay. I thought I think I knew that from talking to one of our clients.

Tim 36:32

You said you said that she's driving now.

SPEAKER_01 36:34

She is driving.

Tim 36:35

How's that making you feel? Of course, you got to deal with it with your son first. So different with girls though.

SPEAKER_01 36:42

Uh, I mean, I don't know. It it's nice because she's my busy kid. So she's the kid that's involved in all the things. So it's nice that I don't have to drive her around.

SPEAKER_00 36:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 36:54

Um, even before that, she would get rides from friends, but it's still nerve-wracking. Um, you know, of course, we track the hell out of our kids at this point, but I still expect them. If you're moving from point A to point B, I expect you to call me and say, hey, I'm moving. You know. Um, but I still, you know, just yesterday I gave both of them shit because my son is speeding and she's distracted driving. So I was like, look, guys, like reel it in. Let's go.

Tim 37:31

Are you live 360?

SPEAKER_01 37:32

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Tim 37:33

You know, it's it's crazy that when my kids, with the exception of Jack, he actually started driving late. But with Hayden and Eli, none of that stuff was really around at this point. You could like, you know, there's probably probably something, some startup that wouldn't would never last that you could have done, but I don't know what it would be like now being able to watch all of that stuff.

SPEAKER_02 37:56

We talk about a lot about Life 360 on this podcast.

Tim 37:59

Maybe we need to get a sponsorship. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 38:01

I mean, it's you go through the archives and it's mentioned I'm gonna say at least 15, 20 times.

Tim 38:07

So on Life 360, are you able to uh see obviously if they're speeding, does it give you how does it know it's distracted driving? You got a camera in there?

SPEAKER_01 38:18

No, so um it's connected to their phone. The app is in their phone. Yeah, so if they're you know, if they're moving in in the speed of a car would move, then it can tell that like so. If she's a passenger in the car and she's texting while she's in the passenger, it'll look like distracted driving. So you you have to know when your kid is actually driving. Very true. Um, because I was giving her heck before she started actually driving, she was the most distracted driver out of the whole family group. But she was passenger, so it really didn't matter, but it really looked bad on her.

SPEAKER_02 38:59

Yeah. That's funny. So true.

SPEAKER_01 39:02

But yeah, no, it's still, I mean, even my son driving, like, I still get nervous with him driving, you know, because the commute from here to Kentucky, you know, it then I'll pull it up and and when they're speeding over 80, it shows a little race car.

SPEAKER_02 39:19

It does. With like flames coming out of that, yeah.

Tim 39:23

So you you got your kids on it too?

SPEAKER_02 39:25

Oh, heck yeah. Heck yeah.

SPEAKER_00 39:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 39:27

And if it's raining, it'll show rain on the on the screen. Yeah.

Tim 39:31

Yeah, you know, I always worry.

SPEAKER_01 39:32

Like Jack went to I don't care if they're 30, I still want to know where they're at. I mean, my mom and my sister and I we're all on Find My Friends.

Tim 39:40

Well, I was gonna say, what do your kids think about them being on Life 360? Because what I've noticed with this newer generation, and I may be wrong, but they don't really care. They don't know, I think they forget about it.

SPEAKER_01 39:50

They don't care, yeah. They share their location with all their friends. They were on it before I signed up on it.

Tim 39:56

They can see you on there 100%. And so they're you know, if they want to say, Oh, where's mom at? And they can just pull pull it up.

SPEAKER_01 40:02

Yes.

Tim 40:03

But like I remember when we were younger, it was just like, I don't want anybody to know where I'm at, but now it's kind of like well, I know for sure here, like I want Nikki to know where I'm at, and I want the kids to know in case something happens.

SPEAKER_02 40:16

Yeah, ain't no hiding anymore.

Tim 40:18

But why but why was it back then that we were just like, Well, I don't want the man to know where I'm at?

SPEAKER_01 40:23

Because we didn't have that, so it wasn't even a thing to even think about.

SPEAKER_02 40:28

No, you he I mean, for for us, it's that's why I said difference between boys and you know, girls. Drivers is a just protection, right? If they're going shopping or somewhere, even to Nashville West.

SPEAKER_01 40:43

I'm like, Yeah, I mean, we told her, like, I need to know where you're at. Make sure you get gas when it's still daylight out. Exactly. Do not go to a gas station at night, never go below a quarter of a tank, always fill up your tank, exactly. You know, but my son, he just runs rogue.

Tim 40:59

Runs rogue. Yeah, I just I always worry about it. I've always I think I worry more about Jack because he was he was a little bit slower to like catching on because I I think over the years, since he was a baby, we sheltered him more than we sheltered the other two.

SPEAKER_01 41:16

And so which is usually the other way around. Exactly. Usually after the last one, you're like it really run. It really is.

Tim 41:23

But it's funny because um at work he works in the Franklin branch. You remember I was telling you about that?

SPEAKER_01 41:29

Is he still loving it?

Tim 41:31

He he he works at the Franklin branch, but now they're training him to be irrigation tech. Okay, and so Joseph's been having him go out to like the Nashville branch. And I text Joseph, I'm like, Jack just came in my office. What is he doing out here? The reason I got him a job in Franklin is so that he wouldn't have to drive on the interstate to Nashville. And he's like he's like, shut the fuck up. He's like, he's a grown-ass man. And I'm like, Yeah, I guess you're right. But then like it's scary.

SPEAKER_01 41:57

The interstate's scary.

Tim 41:58

I mean last week weekend, his birthday was last uh Saturday or Sunday, and he went to Florida. Him and his girlfriend went to Pensacola, and I was just like, my nerves were shot on on I don't, I don't, I don't know what it is for him. I don't fine with protect him. I'm fine with Eli, and I don't worry about Hayden because he doesn't have a car in New York. He's driving, he's riding the train.

SPEAKER_01 42:19

He wants one.

Tim 42:20

Yeah, I know, but you're dude. She listens. I mean, she might be like the Larry of the Fairview Social Podcast. Well, I can't say that. We were just talking about how Larry's terrible, yeah. But but anyway, so like I just worry about him driving, you know?

SPEAKER_01 42:35

Yeah, yeah. My daughter said the other day um she was taking somebody home and it made her get on the interstate. And the only time she's ever driven on the interstate was with her driving instructor because we had her go through the whole driving class. And so, of course, they take them on the interstates, but she was like, Well, when am I gonna drive on the interstate? And I was like, Not with me, that's something you can do by yourself. I'm a paranoid passenger, period. So I'm like, I need to have control of the wheels.

Tim 43:07

You're hitting that you're hitting that brake on the passenger.

SPEAKER_01 43:09

She can tell too. She's like, Mom, she goes, I can tell that you're tense. I was like, I'm fine, like just drive as I'm like. Yeah. But she said it ended up taking on her on the interstate to go take her friend home. And she goes, it was scary. I was like, Yeah, because people don't give a shit about you on the internet.

Tim 43:28

I was gonna say, they do not care. Do not care.

SPEAKER_01 43:31

If you don't know how to drive on the interstate, their view of you is you should not be on it. Well, you do have young drivers that eventually need to learn to be on the interstate. So exactly right.

Tim 43:41

Well, I want to give you guys like a the play of how my week has been. And it starts with the interstate driving. So I'm driving to work on Monday or Tuesday morning, and I leave my road here, and some car pulls out behind me and is like right on my ass. And I'm like, oh, it's fine. By the time I turn to get on the interstate, they'll they will leave me. No, they follow me, they get me on the interstate. Driving down the interstate. They're so close that I can't see them out of my rearview mirror. No way. And they keep and so I get in the other lane. And then they get in the other lane. It's like they won't go around me. So I get to about Old Hickory Boulevard and my tire blows out. Stop. My front driver's side tire.

SPEAKER_02 44:26

Why am I just hearing about this?

Tim 44:29

I was really scared because my biggest fear, like we were talking about with our kids, is something like that with the kids or even ourselves of something like that happening. The back tire, I always play the scenario out in my head and like, okay, if it's a back tire, it's fine because you still got control. I don't want my front one to go out. And so my I hit something and I hear something like that, like, and I'm like, I think that's me. So I get on the steering wheel and I'd push the little thing to see the tire pressure, and it's like you know, 35, 32, 30, 28, 15. I'm like, fuck, oh shit. So I like pull over, and that guy like zips past me. I'm like, ah, you son of a bitch, but I gotta worry about this.

SPEAKER_01 45:11

It's like he didn't break check him.

Tim 45:13

Seriously I know. So I get over to the shoulder, it's raining and everything, and it sucks. I get out, it's completely flat. I'm like, son of a bitch. And I've never gotten the spare tire off of my truck before, so I'm like, I don't even know where it's at. It's under the truck. All right, where's the tools at? Meanwhile, it's like all these all these trucks going. You know that you know the thing on the side of the interstate where it's like like the things that wake you up, the rumble strips. It's like when you look and you see a semi coming at you at 100 miles an hour and they hit those strips, I'm like, I'm about to die. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 45:51

It's terrifying. So with the work that we do for OES, they're on the interstates all the time.

SPEAKER_02 45:59

Old Boulevard one.

SPEAKER_01 46:00

It's terrifying.

SPEAKER_02 46:01

Yeah. Ask Aaron about the air the old picker boulevard. I mean, right where they are, that bridge, there's no space, potholes everywhere, and people drive like crazy. Yeah, up and down. It's terrifying.

SPEAKER_01 46:12

I mean, he'll he takes um every now and then, and like my son will go and work with him, and he's like hyper aware of like where my son's positioning is at all times because he's like, Yeah, it's scary.

Tim 46:25

Yeah. So all those truck trucks and everything are zipping by. Finally, you know, I was literally it that was like a damn NASCAR pit stop. I was doing it so fast. But I, you know, because you want to get the hell out of there.

SPEAKER_04 46:39

Yeah.

Tim 46:39

And so I get the stuff out, I go and I get the thing jacked up, I break it loose, jack it up, and as I'm pulling off the tire, I look over, and there's a car that you know, like from my perspective, it was like, you know, coming at me, a truck coming at me on the shoulder. I'm like, I'm about to die. Oh my gosh. And so it stops. I'm like, oh, it's somebody that's gonna help me. And then I see the door open and I see our logo on the door. No way. And guess who gets out of there and comes walking up?

SPEAKER_01 47:09

That could be a million people.

Tim 47:11

Mike Lord.

SPEAKER_01 47:12

Oh, yeah.

Tim 47:14

He was like, Hey, I saw you. No way.

SPEAKER_01 47:18

Lord to the rescue.

Tim 47:19

Lord, he passed me on the interstate, got off the interstate, and came back around.

SPEAKER_01 47:25

What a good dude.

Tim 47:25

And I told I said, Mike, I really appreciate you stopping. Honestly, I don't know if I would have done the same thing. I don't know if I would have stopped. No.

SPEAKER_02 47:33

I drove past Joseph when he was in an on an axe in an accident. Oh, really? I like I think I pulled right next to him. I looked over, and then I just kept going.

SPEAKER_01 47:43

Stop if it was somebody that I knew, somebody that I recognized. You don't think you'd stop? If I was on the side of the road, yeah, I mean stops.

Tim 47:51

Yeah, I would stop, but but he literally had to get off the interstate, make the loop around, and come back.

SPEAKER_01 47:58

I think you would have done that. If you saw me or Riley on the side of the road, you would do this.

Tim 48:02

I would. Yeah. So I was like I said, I was like literally about to put the tire back on and tighten it up. And I was just like, Mike, I really appreciate you stopping and this and that. And it was funny because, like, after it was all set, ready to go, he was like chit-chatting for a minute. And I was like, Hey, Mike, why don't we uh finish up this conversation at the office? Not on the interstate. So we get there, you know, like the wind is blowing, so my hair's like sticking straight up like this. I'm like dirty from rolling around in the on the interstate, and uh, and uh I sent him a gift card because I told him that I really appreciated him stopping. And so anyway, so that happened. And then on Thursday, I went out to my truck to get something, and the back window was busted out. I was like, what the hell's going on around here?

SPEAKER_01 48:54

Wait, rock? Where did that happen at?

Tim 48:57

In my driveway.

SPEAKER_01 48:58

Did somebody break your window?

Tim 49:00

Now, I'm not I'm not gonna name names of who it could have been, but I will say that I just fixed my mower that's been broke down for three weeks and I cut my grass. So that asshole may be me that knocked my window. But listen, maybe it wasn't me. I was watching my cameras, I was rolling it back. Nikki's like trying to look at it and see who fucked up my window, and I'm just like, we're gonna, if it was the neighbor over here, I would go, we're gonna I'm gonna go knock on their door. So anyway, I had to get that fixed.

SPEAKER_01 49:34

So you could never find there was a person, so you're just assuming that it was you.

Tim 49:38

It was probably me. So I went to I went to Safe Light and got it fixed yesterday, but I was like really pissed off. I was like, man, I've had a bad vehicle week this week.

SPEAKER_02 49:47

So two things Safe Light was smart, but why not triple A? I do have triple A for the kids. Oh, yeah.

Tim 49:54

You know what, you know what's funny is like that was one of the things that my dad used to always give me and my brothers always triple A. And I remember when I was younger, I was like, this is stupid. I don't want this. And now I'm like, I'm gonna do this for my kids.

SPEAKER_02 50:08

When we were we were in California last week and Jane got a flat tire and she knew how to triple A it. Is it right there? You got it right there. Uh she knew how to call triple A, have AAA come out, put a spare on, she went down, got the tire, called me to pay for the tire.

SPEAKER_01 50:24

I had triple A growing up. Yeah. Um, but so at this point, so we have a lot of relationships with tow companies. So there's really like no reason for us to have triple A because it's not we've got a bunch of tow companies we could call in our back pocket and be like, hey, help. Like I was uh driving down, I was coming back from Antioch or somewhere about in that area, and it was when I had that SUV, the little Kia that I had, yeah, and the motor froze up on me on the interstate, and so I put putt myself over, and unfortunately we knew somebody and they came to my rescue. And that's good to know. Yeah, good to know people then.

Tim 51:09

How long does Triple A usually take to get there? Because they're just dispatching like somebody local.

SPEAKER_01 51:14

From my experience, they take forever. Yeah, Jane's been lucky.

SPEAKER_02 51:17

She's had two blowouts that she's done, and it's been taking an hour.

SPEAKER_01 51:21

That's not I mean that's a lot of things.

SPEAKER_02 51:23

No, she was in Cool Springs last week. When it happened, she was in Cool Springs, so and the other time was off of Murray Lane.

Tim 51:29

Well, when it just depends. When the tire did blow out, my first thought was like trying to get off at the next exit, but like it was like dropping quick. I'm like, I'm gonna have to do something about it.

SPEAKER_01 51:39

And then you're gonna have to buy a new rim.

Tim 51:40

And luckily, like by the time I stopped on the shoulder, it was like done running out of air, and I don't think I messed my rim up because I had uh Tony and Johnny at the shop. I said, Hey, you think you can patch this? Because it was like a clean, it's like pro like if a board had a nail sticking up and my tire went over it and then just kept going. It was like the cleanest cut ever, cleanest poke ever. And they patched it and it's been time.

SPEAKER_00 52:06

Yeah, that's good.

Tim 52:08

So I just put my spare back under the bed today because I, you know, you can leave it out just in case.

SPEAKER_01 52:15

My husband always gives me shit because my car doesn't have a spare. You need a spare, it doesn't come with one.

SPEAKER_02 52:20

You need to get one, it weighs down the car. Some other cars don't have like Kate's car, doesn't have a spare, yeah. It doesn't have like a donut.

SPEAKER_01 52:27

No, it's too much weight.

Tim 52:29

Yeah, but they got those little compact donut ones that like go up under the, you know.

SPEAKER_01 52:34

No, I drive a race car. It's too much weight.

Tim 52:37

I guess it is. Your car is small, but most small cars have those little donuts in there.

SPEAKER_01 52:41

Yeah, it it does not have one. It looks like it could, um, but when I've asked people, they're like, that model does not come with so Kate's Hyundai, they gave us like it's a can.

SPEAKER_02 52:54

Well, she's got that hybrid, so it's got the battery. So that's why you can't have the spare there. But they give you like this can of something. Like the fix-a-flat stuff. Yeah, it's like green. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it pumps it in and seals it.

Tim 53:08

You think that stuff works good?

SPEAKER_01 53:09

I mean, to get you to where you need to go, I don't know if I would drive on it forever.

SPEAKER_02 53:13

I don't think I'd drive on it either. I mean, I've used it on like mowers. Does it work? Yeah. Yeah.

Tim 53:19

What about slime or something? Don't they make yeah, slime. Yeah, I can't remember the name. I know what you're talking about.

SPEAKER_02 53:24

What if it was like a foam? They do have a foam too. Yeah. Why do they not make airless tires for it?

Tim 53:31

I was gonna say, don't they make it? I've read at some point, like they make tires that like not run flat.

SPEAKER_01 53:37

Like they they run flat, yeah.

Tim 53:39

Yeah, they do make them like where it repairs itself or something. Not like, oh, I got a hole and I'm fixing myself. It's like, oh, I I have a hole, and it's like self-healing, like a fucking movie or something.

SPEAKER_01 53:53

Yeah, no, I think my mom's my mom drives a BMW, and I think she was saying like her tires are like that to where they almost self-repair themselves.

Tim 54:03

Yeah, like it, I don't know what it is. You know how they they've got like leather. I could just picture it.

SPEAKER_01 54:09

You're on three little minions inside.

Tim 54:16

And they're all like, like, get the super glue, get the super glue. That would be awesome. That would be cool. You know, like self-reparing leather or whatever, you know, if like you have a leather phone case and you kind of scratch it up a little bit and then like it goes away. I don't know if that shit works, Mike.

SPEAKER_01 54:34

Yeah, I don't know. How does that work?

Tim 54:37

I mean, am I just am I just losing my they make that shit though? Yes, that's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_02 54:43

I know Bridgestone has a tire that runs you can drive on it after it has a patch or a hole in it for like 50 miles or something.

Tim 54:50

50. I mean, I can't imagine that like I don't know, I don't understand how all that works, but in my mind, I want to believe that there's little things in there that fixes it, or it's like you know, you know, like the liquid metal terminator. It's just like more doesn't sell more.

SPEAKER_01 55:08

They're they're self-sealing tires, and they feature an inner lining often made of a specialized sealant material that fills tread punctures, typically up to six millimeters or a quarter inch from nails or screws.

SPEAKER_02 55:23

But what's it doing when it's not in use? Just hanging out? I guess. How does it know where to go? I guess the air.

SPEAKER_01 55:30

Well, so I wonder if it's Again, we're we're really not spinning.

SPEAKER_02 55:33

No, no, no. Go ahead.

SPEAKER_01 55:35

I've been tired as spinning.

SPEAKER_02 55:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 55:38

So it's so once you get a hole, it um it spins to fill that.

SPEAKER_02 55:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 55:45

That makes sense.

SPEAKER_02 55:46

That does make sense. I'm just so used to talking about presidents and having no idea what we're talking about that when we start talking about real science problems.

Tim 55:56

I was gonna say that I don't remember what I was gonna say. I completely lost it. No, I man, I am losing my mind. It happens.

SPEAKER_02 56:08

You're getting old, like you told me.

Tim 56:10

Yeah, I was gonna say something along the lines of, you know, oh yeah, okay. This is what I was gonna say. So if a tire, you pop your tire and then it knows how to fix it, that's what what you were saying a second ago. How does it know? Well, if I have a fucking headache and I take headache medicine, how does it know to go to my head? That's true. Does it go to the rest of my body? And I just don't know.

SPEAKER_01 56:33

All that stuff, like, all that stuff. Like, how do you know with a with a radio that somebody one day woke up and was like, why are all these things like this? And all of a sudden you have sound coming out of this contraption.

Tim 56:47

I know, that's what I'm saying. Very fair. We're dumb, we're really dumb. Before you got here, we did a podcast of the presidents, and it always reminds us how dumb we are.

SPEAKER_02 57:01

I guess spent the day before just remembering who the sixth presidents was. You see how I put them right here?

SPEAKER_01 57:06

Was today six? Yeah. So wasn't number six Zach was related to him?

SPEAKER_02 57:11

No, or is that four? No, he is down the road.

SPEAKER_01 57:14

Further down? Yes, yes. I thought it was further up.

Tim 57:17

We did Jay Qua today, John Quincy Adams. They used to come and take pictures with us. We gotta get the pictures back. I know. Well, Larry's on my shit list right now.

SPEAKER_02 57:28

Larry, you made me fired. Larry's on a pip program right now. Yeah, he is. He's in trouble.

Tim 57:33

We stay tuned for that episode. You'll hear all about Larry fucking everything up. So I can't trust him for anything anymore.

SPEAKER_00 57:40

You're wrong.

Tim 57:41

He's been doing me wrong for a while. On purpose, I think. I might go maybe go meet up with Grok or something and see how he does or see how Claude's doing. Claude or Gemini or something, but but anyway, so yeah, I don't know how any of that stuff works. I I feel like I feel really dumb. I can't believe people listen to this. There's probably somebody going, oh yeah, I know exactly how when you take an Advil, how it goes to your head. But I'm just like, oh, I I take these pills, I will feel better. That's all I care about.

SPEAKER_02 58:15

As long as it's entertainment, that's all I care about.

SPEAKER_01 58:18

Yes.

Tim 58:19

What's entertainment? Us? Us.

SPEAKER_01 58:20

We are entertaining.

Tim 58:21

I don't know how entertaining we are. I think we are. Well, I'd like to think so, but I don't know if we are or not.

SPEAKER_01 58:27

I mean, your 17 continuous listeners think you are.

Tim 58:30

And we got three of them right here. Yeah, exactly. Joseph's at the house.

SPEAKER_01 58:34

Wait, does yours count? Do you go back and listen to the whole thing?

Tim 58:38

No, when I edit it, I used to when I okay, I'll tell you exactly what I do. Back probably six months ago, I would take it and I would watch it through, and then I would edit it and do all the things. Now I just make sure the beginning and end is correct, and then I put run it through a thing that splits it up to where it goes to whoever's speaking, and I just send it out and I'll listen to it again. But I used to listen to them. I'm gonna have to listen to that two sad dads because there's some questionable things that are in there.

SPEAKER_02 59:07

There's some questionable, yeah. You gotta leave that stuff in. Aaron will get a kick out of it.

Tim 59:11

She knows.

SPEAKER_01 59:12

There's a recent one that you haven't posted yet?

Tim 59:14

Yeah, we did a couple weeks ago.

SPEAKER_01 59:15

I'm excited.

SPEAKER_02 59:16

It's pretty good. It's pretty good. I thought it was really good.

Tim 59:20

I thought it was the best one that we did.

SPEAKER_02 59:22

I agree, agree. I think it was our best one yet.

SPEAKER_01 59:24

How many times did Daniel get called a bitch?

Tim 59:26

You know, you know what's funny about that is at the end, one time, I think.

SPEAKER_01 59:30

No, I mean, I'm team Daniel, so I I'm Team Daniel too.

Tim 59:35

But after so the after the last two S D, Daniel didn't talk to everybody for like three or four weeks. He got mad and didn't talk to anybody.

SPEAKER_02 59:44

But why? He felt left out and what felt got offended that he kept on.

Tim 59:48

Okay, all right. Well, we'll tell you. So you're bullying. You remember when we did the the live Facebook where it was me, Joseph, Mike, and Eric. We did uh we did that episode, and so that was all of two sad dads except Daniel. And Daniel doesn't listen to this show at all. So we've done this a number of times where it's been like three of us, or like me and Mike, or me and Joe. It's like we're just recording whenever. Yeah, and so he found out and he got mad at us and didn't talk to us for a while, and then also Joseph kept calling him a bitch, and so then we finally got over all that, and I'm like, all right, we're gonna do the quarter two report. Come on, guys, uh, we all come over. And it's like, I'm like, all right, good. Nobody's gonna call Daniel a bitch because that led to problems last time. And guess what? We get not even a minute in. Joseph says, and Daniel's a bitch, yeah. Two minutes in.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:40

It's a good, it's a good episode. You I think you'll get a kick out of it because it was good. We put like some challenges on each other to we did, yeah.

Tim 1:00:47

We did, we had a false start. We did have a false start. We can I left that in. Yeah, so yeah, you'll like it.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:54

It's the best one. The original sad two sad dads is probably the funniest one, but we cannot. I think I'm the only person that can listen to it because there's names named, and yeah, it's pretty well when we have to leap out like a lot.

Tim 1:01:08

When we started that podcast, I remember we like we just did it. We're just like, Yeah, we're we're doing a feckin' podcast, we're awesome. And then like Mike listens back to it. You're like, wait a minute, we said this person's name. Now it's like we don't really. I don't think we care. I don't care here.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:25

Yeah. Well, that's what I was thinking. Like coming over here, I was like, I have to be careful what I say because I don't want Tim to have to bleep out the whole thing.

Tim 1:01:34

No. The only advice I ever give to any guest that comes on is you should not talk shit about your job.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:40

That's right.

Tim 1:01:41

Where you're currently working.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:49

And talking while we ate. So, first off, it was disgusting.

Tim 1:01:53

Maybe I'll release those episodes. Desperate special podcast episodes. It'd be like the O.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:00

You have to Patreon, you have to pay to get those.

Tim 1:02:02

There was like 10 episodes or something. Yeah. I listened to all of them after I started this podcast, and I was like, man, these are really bad. But it's funny us thinking that we knew what we were doing. Yeah. I tried to take it us up. I tried to take us up a level.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:17

Because Mike was just I mean, y'all have definitely come up a level. I mean, Tim's killing it.

Tim 1:02:22

Mike Mike used to just put his phone in the middle of the table, and then I got it's actually in that cabinet over there. It's like this microphone that plugs into your phone, and it's like it has like the muff on it.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:34

Wasn't it in the upstairs? Yes, yeah, yeah.

Tim 1:02:37

Yeah, yeah. I bought that thing. It was like 200 bucks, and I'm just like, I came in that day. I'm like, I'm contributing to this pod. Killer is so dumb. Now we have like a whole studio. We have a whole studio.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:50

This is awesome. I mean, I love this. It's so much fun. You're gonna have to do this more often. You're gonna have to show up to when we do Andrew Jackson. Oh, I better be there.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:01

So not an history person.

Tim 1:03:03

Like I have you've listened to any of the president's.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:07

I'm like dumb when it comes to like fun facts and stuff like that. Like, I even like pop culture, like my husband can ramble some crazy pop culture, and I'm just like, I couldn't even tell you who acted in what movie.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:23

You're gonna have to work on that, but you didn't know anything about Andrew Jackson.

Tim 1:03:26

You didn't know anything about John Ham's ass, so you didn't know who he was.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:31

I didn't know who he was.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:32

You didn't know who John Hamm was before the show?

SPEAKER_01 1:03:36

No, I'm not saying like have you ever heard of Michelle Pfeiffer? Yeah, but I could never look at her and be like, that's her.

Tim 1:03:43

Should it be like Gangsters Paradise?

SPEAKER_02 1:03:51

Yeah, that's right, Julio. Yeah, yeah, she was the teacher in Gangsters Paradise. Yeah, yeah. She was in Scarface, she's in uh yeah.

Tim 1:03:59

See, all those crazy facts, like she was Catwoman in the original Michael Keaton, the Michael Keaton batman.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:06

Right. And you saw Top Gun too, Maverick? No, I never saw that. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:12

I'm a disappointment. What can I say? Well No, whenever I need like if I see something, I'm scrolling and I'll see something, whether it be politics, pop culture, any of that stuff, I always ask my husband because he is like a sponge when it comes to that stuff.

Tim 1:04:34

Nikki would probably say the same about the city.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:37

The kids get pissed off because he's like, he'll start like talking slang to them, and they're just like, Don't say that.

Tim 1:04:44

You know why he's good at that stuff, probably is because he's had he's had jobs over the years where he's in the vehicle and so he listens to the things and the news and hears all of it.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:54

He does, he's a podcast junkie.

Tim 1:04:56

Because that's how that's how I am too. It's like I only know certain things because I just hear it on the radio or on a show or whatever.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:03

Well, you pick it up on like TikTok or Instagram, so you're hearing other people make it trendy.

Tim 1:05:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:10

And then that's where you get it.

Tim 1:05:11

Maybe we need to start a trend here. Okay. One that's not calling Daniel a bitch.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:18

No, no, we can't do that. We can't do that.

Tim 1:05:20

I don't I have never one time ever called it.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:23

There's only one person that has done it.

Tim 1:05:25

Joseph gets away.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:26

Joseph, we're calling you out.

Tim 1:05:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:28

Joseph has been contacted by the FCC about his language. He's lucky he's on a podcast.

Tim 1:05:34

Yeah. I didn't invite him today because of that.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:39

He took the yesterday off.

Tim 1:05:43

Here's this let's see this picture you just sent me here.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:45

Yeah, my husband just sent me that.

Tim 1:05:47

Well, he he probably is riding his motorcycle or riding in his Jeep. Oh, that's right. That's right. Probably the Jeep. And he did make the comment that he is Is the Jeep new or has he always had the Jeep? No, he just got it like a week ago.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:00

Nice.

Tim 1:06:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:01

Got rid of that big truck that he had, that big Ram truck.

Tim 1:06:04

All right, what we got here? Wow. Tanker crash spills 1,500 gallons of sludge into drain, hazmat cleanup.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:13

Oh, so they are.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:14

That's my husband holding the hose.

unknown 1:06:16

Wow.

Tim 1:06:17

Wow.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:17

Why does it always seem to be in that part of the world?

unknown 1:06:21

What?

Tim 1:06:22

In Shelbyville.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:23

Shelbyville, Tullahoma. That's messed up down there. They're careless down there.

Tim 1:06:28

Yeah. Oh, that shit will never happen in Brentwood.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:32

No. I am curious to hear what was.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:35

Brentwood sweeps it under the rug and nobody ever talks about it. Yeah, you're right about that.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:40

If you will ask them what happened in Bellevue. I think I asked him when I saw him down in Tullahoma, but I can't remember what it was. In Bellevue. And it was where? On Old Hickory Boulevard in Bellevue.

Tim 1:06:51

How long ago was that, Mike?

SPEAKER_02 1:06:53

It was end of last year.

Tim 1:06:57

Are you for sure it was them that did it?

SPEAKER_01 1:06:58

Yeah.

Tim 1:06:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:59

100%. See. Old Hickory Boulevard. End of last year.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:04

Yeah, uh, in Bellevue. Right almost right across from the church and the Papa John's that's right there. Yeah. There's a massive homeless camp above that in the in the hill. Oh, really? It's tents everywhere. Sad. But that's not a bad place to be.

Tim 1:07:25

If you got a tent, that's where I'll be once I fold on my house because I can't afford it.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:30

You're going down the holla.

Tim 1:07:31

No, I'm gonna take that. I'm gonna take my camper and park it in your front yard.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:35

Now you can go to the ridge at school. You got a place for you.

Tim 1:07:37

I bought that camper a couple days ago. I had to drive to Henderson, Tennessee.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:42

You do have a lot of vehicles in your vicinity. Like there's only three of you living here.

Tim 1:07:49

Well, there's my truck, Mike's truck, my oldest son Eli is here right now. So their car's here. Nikki's Tahoe, Jack's car, and Zephyr's car.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:04

Gotcha.

Tim 1:08:05

Zephyr's in Florida, so her car has just been here.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:08

But then we got Eli's been here long. That's nice.

Tim 1:08:12

Yeah. He just got back from Louisiana doing some training or something. He just told us he's gonna have to go to Peru for like nine months after his ranger school.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:20

So look at your kids doing some kids.

Tim 1:08:23

You think he'll go to Macha Picchu?

SPEAKER_02 1:08:25

What? Pikachu? Pikachu. He's going to Pikachu. That's what I heard too. That hidden, like that, that uh city that's like at the top of the mountain in Peru. I think that's in Peru. I'm not asking. You're you're you're unfortunately probably geography? Yeah.

Tim 1:08:44

She's like history, geography. No.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:47

No.

Tim 1:08:47

You want to know about sludge on the on the interstate? I got you there. Throwing lucky charms into milk. Lucky charms into milk. That's yeah, you could you could do that. I think that I think that that would have been a good idea to get some cereal out there. Outside the box thinking. Yeah, maybe some chocolate syrup. Oh man. Mix it up, make a little chocolate. I love Lucky Charms.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:09

Yeah. I what's your favorite cruise? I had a bag. I had this little bag that I was gonna bring you. Because in the bag is your shirt.

SPEAKER_00 1:09:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:17

And then a shirt for my other number one fan that's still there.

Tim 1:09:23

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:24

My favorite redhead. Besides my husband. Um, and then I brought you some of my cookie truffles that I made last night. I tried a new flavor.

Tim 1:09:37

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:38

It's biscoff.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:40

Oh, like.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:41

Do you like biscoff cookies? Oh, yeah. That's pretty good.

Tim 1:09:44

So talk to us about the truffle business. How's all that going?

SPEAKER_01 1:09:48

Well, so it's slow. Like, you know, you you get what you put in. Yeah. I don't put a lot in. Um so events happen throughout the year, but the big ones usually pick up in the spring, go through like March, April, and then they kind of die down in the summer, and then they pick up again in like October, November. So I haven't I don't have a lot of like events booked right now, but um, I have one in June. I'll be at the Franklin Flea Market.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:25

Nice.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:26

So if you guys haven't been to that event, it's pretty cool. Um, it I think has outdone the Nashville Flea Market, which has been here for years. Um, but I mean everybody took a hit with events when COVID showed its face.

Tim 1:10:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:43

So, you know, I think still like the Nashville flea market is still recovering from COVID.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:48

I mean it lost its space too, did it not, because of the speedway?

SPEAKER_01 1:10:53

No, so they have a brand new building here.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:55

Yeah, well, down below. That's right. Yeah, that's right.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:58

So they have a brand new building, it's got three different sections in it, and then they have the outdoor, like covered area.

SPEAKER_00 1:11:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:05

Um, but pre-COVID, all three sections of the building were packed, and outside was packed, and now I think they're down to like one and two section of the building, and then outside. So, I mean, it's sad that it hasn't recovered, but yeah. I mean, I used to do really well there with the color street stuff that I was doing, and it just took a tank, so it was like it wasn't worth my time to be there. But I went last month, I went and I did an event there, but I of course brought like I had my troubles with me, I had my color street with me, and then I had a bunch of like um hand-me-down clothes that I sold, and so I made my booth fee back, which was nice.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:58

That's a plus, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:00

But you know, you don't go to those things to just make your booth fee back, you go to make a profit, and so it's hard.

Tim 1:12:06

Yeah. Do you do you usually sell out of all your truffles and stuff?

SPEAKER_01 1:12:13

Um, so I haven't gotten to the point where I know how much to make yet, you know, like I know if I'm going to this event, I need to make this amount.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:24

So I've gone to an event where I made way more than I needed to. But then, yes, I've gone to an event where I didn't make as much and I did sell out. So I haven't kind of 100% figured that part out. Um but we'll see in June when I make a batch. When is it in June? June. That's a good question.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:50

We're gonna promote it.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:51

I know. It is June 13th.

Tim 1:12:56

What is the shelf life on those things?

SPEAKER_01 1:12:59

Um, about a week.

Tim 1:13:00

So they're good for about a week.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:02

Yeah, if you leave them on the counter about a week, um, you can put them in the fridge, they'll last a couple weeks, or you can even freeze them and last for a few months, just like your normal cookie that you would buy at the store, less preservatives, though.

Tim 1:13:13

So if I do put them in my machines, they're refrigerated, so I could be get a couple weeks out of them.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:19

A couple weeks out of them.

Tim 1:13:20

That'd be good. Do you package them up individually or are they usually like in a box?

SPEAKER_01 1:13:24

Um, so I usually do like a two for five. So I have a little two-count box that I put them in, and then um I also have a five for ten. So it's a little cute little square box. And then if anybody's really crazy and they know what they're getting, they'll buy 12 for 20.

Tim 1:13:43

Do they if if you did box those things up, would they be like in a clear box?

SPEAKER_01 1:13:48

They're clear box.

Tim 1:13:49

Okay, so you could see them.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:50

Yeah.

Tim 1:13:50

Because I'm wondering if like it might not be like when I get this machine over in St. Thomas, you know, it's not like the normal, just kind of rough guys, crew guys that are out there getting it. Sure. You know, some of the people there might might buy that kind of stuff. That's a great thought.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:05

Yeah, I don't know. I'd have to figure out how to put on the packaging what it is because a lot of people wouldn't really know what it is.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:11

Yeah, that's you have a logo, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:14

But I don't, I mean, I don't know. I have to think about that.

Tim 1:14:19

If you're picturing it in like a machine and I'll show you some pictures whenever we finish here.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:23

I mean, it's literally like a cake pop without a stick.

Tim 1:14:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:26

But it's made with cookies because cookies are better than cake.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:29

That's true. Most of the time I agree with that. Yeah.

Tim 1:14:33

But yeah, we could I I think it would be a good idea because I want I want different things in there, you know. I don't want just for again for where they're at right now, just the basic stuff. And I've I even got like Hispanic type drinks and things like that in there. Because you're you know, you're catering to the area that it's in. But I do think that if we put something like that in them in these uh in a different location, we're also talking about maybe going up to this taekwondo place here in Fairview that just opened.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:02

Okay.

Tim 1:15:02

Maybe try to go there.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:03

What about that dance studio too? Is that part of it?

Tim 1:15:06

No, it's a separate that dance studio. I'm gonna look into that too. Yeah, but definitely gonna try to get in those hot those emergency rooms.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:15

Would be wonderful.

Tim 1:15:15

And I could see if I'm whoring myself out to St. Thomas and Horizon, they can help me out. They can help me out by letting me put my vending machines in there.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:25

If you get in that one, then you can get the one on Temple and in Highway 100. Yeah, that that facility right there.

Tim 1:15:32

You know what would work out great is if when the vote comes down, it's like they just decide to do both of them, then I win two times.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:38

I was thinking they that could be a possibility.

Tim 1:15:41

Yeah, they they tristar guy told me that like, and that's what I got the most out of that conversation with them is no matter what, it's like we get an emergency room out here.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:50

Is Fairview that big? I don't even know how big Fairview is.

Tim 1:15:54

Well, the even since I was a kid. As far as footprint, it's pretty big, yeah. It's getting pretty big.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:59

Well, it's for convenience. I mean, you you he knows about it, but I look at it as it's convenient. Nobody wants to drive over, you gotta drive to Dixon to get to the it's probably closest.

Tim 1:16:08

Dixon or St. Thomas or Williamson Medical Center in Franklin.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:12

So East Fairview and West Fairview was how much of a distance is there if you were to drive from one side of the city to the other?

Tim 1:16:22

They probably take it's probably like five miles across. Yeah, but it's like out. And so even all the time growing up, and actually my not my neighbor right here, but the one next door to him uh a couple years ago, he died of a heart attack that he, you know, he's like our age. Yeah, and he could have possibly been saved if there was like something here in town. But like even when I was a kid, I was I remember being worried that like it takes so long to get to any kind of an emergency facility. Yeah, and so it's crazy to think that just now.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:59

My parents, my dad and his wife, they just moved to Paducah, Kentucky, and they're not super close to anything. It's I think it's like 20 minutes for them to get to services.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:11

The one in Belgium, I mean, I could get down to to St. Thomas West pretty quick, but Jane had an awful concussion and we took her there and it was probably better service because she was able to get right in, not have to deal with all the run around of front desks. I mean, they took her right back and got her, you know, checked out and started in the process to get her better, but it makes a lot of sense to have it up here for yeah. I mean, a lot of kids moving up here. Yeah. But my parents just moved out here and they're in their late 70s. You know that there's something close.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:41

Well, my husband and I we're gonna be moving to Beth Page probably in a few years. And there's not a lot out there either. I mean, the closest city city is Gallatin.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:53

Yeah. I just we just looked at a there's a hospital up there. I just looked at a hospital.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:57

In Gallatin.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:58

No, in Beth Page. Pretty sure. Pretty sure. I'll I'll send you a text later.

Tim 1:18:04

That was the other thing I was gonna ask you about. So maybe it was for the listeners. Aaron, the Aaron's bought some land out there.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:12

Oh my god, you picked the wrong time to ask about the sad land.

Tim 1:18:15

How's it how's all that going?

SPEAKER_01 1:18:17

So the land is great. We own some dirt, you know.

Tim 1:18:22

Y'all not started building yet?

SPEAKER_01 1:18:25

So we own some dirt.

Tim 1:18:27

Well, that might be a glimpse of what I'm about to deal with.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:30

We um so we own some dirt. We actually just bought another five acres of that dirt, so we now have 15 acres, which is amazing. We're super excited about. Um I won't name my contractor's name because we're not there yet, but uh a couple days ago we got a phone call from a disgruntled employee that the contractor is out of money. Oh god, that one of those things, and they can't pay their subs and they can't pay their employees. And if you need to get out, you need to get out now.

Tim 1:19:09

That sucks.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:10

And we're both looking at each other like, did this really just happen?

Tim 1:19:15

I thought they were breaking ground like six months ago.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:18

So they've broke ground. We have um we have formed up foundation, they were supposed to pour concrete, we don't have concrete. Um, I mean, it's been like pulling teeth with this guy to like get communication. So um after she called, I finally told my husband, you know, we just need to cut our ties. Like this guy doesn't respond to anything. He tells us, oh, you're gonna have concrete at the end of this week and two weeks later, we still don't have concrete. Like now you've got employees calling me telling me you have no money when we paid him more than I'm willing to admit in advance.

Tim 1:20:04

Oh no. Yeah, that sucks.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:08

So bad. It's so bad. And so frustrating. And he's like, Oh, I'll have paperwork. So we told him we want it out of our contract so we can move on, cut ties, move on. You know, the money is what it is, we'll work to get that back, but we just need it out of this contract so we can keep doing what we're doing.

SPEAKER_04 1:20:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:25

And uh he told us he would have paperwork to us yesterday. We don't have paperwork. So Monday I'll be calling my attorney and telling him to put on his bulldog pants and do what we gotta do.

Tim 1:20:40

Well, that sucks because uh back I remember several months ago, like at work, where you were like, Oh look, y'all are about to break ground and all that kind of stuff. So it's like I thought it was starting to roll. You're have a house there pretty soon.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:53

No, it it it started to roll, and then you know, they just I don't know, and then we find out he's working under somebody else's contractor's license, and there's all these like things, and it's it's so bad, and so I'm just like okay, now good news, we don't have a house that we're gonna walk into and it's gonna fall apart.

Tim 1:21:17

True, yeah, amen. Yeah, that's good.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:20

Um, other good news, you know, we aren't so deep in it at this point to where we you know have to worry about all that. It's just it's one of those things. If your gut tells you something, you really should listen. Because I mean, since the day we have met this guy, I'm like, he sucks. He sucks. His communication sucks. Like, you can't tell me one thing and then not follow through. If it's gonna be a month, just tell me tell me it's gonna be a month, you know. Um, you know, the other good thing is we weren't ready to move into this place anyways, so we can't move until 2028. So we weren't in a hurry, sure, you know. So that's okay. Like it's not like we're like, oh my gosh, our house is sold and we gotta move into this place by this point. Like, we're not there, so it's yeah, it sucks. That's terrible, it sucks, and it's really shitty to do to people, and yeah, it's really shitty. But it's we're gonna find somebody that's gonna take care of us, and it'll be what it is, and move on from it.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:36

And it's crazy because you have a totally new perspective on everything now with all the tests you're taking, and the classic learning.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:44

I mean, even what I was doing prior to taking the tests, like I have experience in the construction industry, and I should have fucking known better. I mean, uh we handed this guy money way early than we should have, and I should have I should have followed my gut and not, but we did, and so you know.

Tim 1:23:10

Dang on that sucks. You um I mean, there's nothing you can do about it other than like the decisions that you make from here on out.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:17

So yeah, and I I feel bad for the next contractor because I will be on hyper alert and you know well, you just communicate that in the front. I mean, you you you tell this individual hey, yeah, listen, Mofo, I've been burned and I'm gonna be watching you like a hawk. You give me a bad taste. I'm gonna yeah, it's crazy.

Tim 1:23:38

Well, luckily for my my remodel here, like the guy that's doing it is the neighbor's kids, and shout out to Bloodline um construction group or whatever it's called. Bloodline anyway, so they did some deck work for me last summer, so I kind of got a feel for like their communication, how well are they doing, and then and they all did great. You know, there's the normal, and we've been we're all in the business where it's like you know that there's crews working over there, and if they don't get to you and you're shifting things around, it's like the bullshit you know, things that they tell you. It's like I already know those things, but generally speaking, my deck is ripped out, so that's a good start. Yeah, I mean, I closed on the loan on Monday, and by the end of the week, my deck is ripped out, so I'd say that we're trending in the right direction. For sure. So, you know, I just I don't want to be paying on this, you know, huge remodel on the house and I'm living in my camper.

SPEAKER_00 1:24:37

Yeah.

Tim 1:24:37

You know, it's like I want it done as quick as possible. Living in my camper in Mike's driveway.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:42

Yeah, at the top of the school.

Tim 1:24:45

He won't let me stay in his driveway.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:46

Another reason we need to get Zach on the airplane, because then you could say at least have an airplane back here, too.

Tim 1:24:51

I know. I know.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:52

Uh we do need to get surely that would bring your property value up if you had a runway in your backyard.

Tim 1:24:58

Exactly. Had an airplane on the pocket.

SPEAKER_01 1:25:01

Not even just the airplane, you just need the runway. You can imagine how many planes would be like, I need to land on your runway. I need to come to Fairview. I should. Does Fairview have an airport?

Tim 1:25:11

Right here. Exactly. It's a pretty good spot.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:15

I don't think they do, dude. No, there's no airport out here.

Tim 1:25:17

I don't know. Do you?

SPEAKER_02 1:25:18

Say what that's what Aaron needs for when the contractor calls on Monday. No shit, right?

Tim 1:25:25

They're like, uh, sorry that we didn't get the paperwork to you, Aaron. And you're like, hey, what? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:33

That's so good.

SPEAKER_01 1:25:34

Not surprised. But yeah. Yeah, it does. But again, I mean, we don't have to move anytime soon, so that's okay. You know, our house we know for sure isn't gonna fall apart on us, so that's okay. It's just like bro, did me dirty. So now I'm now I'm mad.

Tim 1:25:55

Well, maybe you can bash him on here and then 16 people will at least feel your pain.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:00

I will when it's time.

SPEAKER_02 1:26:02

I mean, if he's if he's working under somebody else's contractor's license and he gets in trouble, I mean that screws that person as well.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:08

Screws that other contractor 100%. Jeez, hell. 100%. So yeah. That's uh no to anybody listening. Don't let schmucks use your contractor's license.

Tim 1:26:20

That's true. Well, I think that we've covered a lot today. We've covered Life 360 again. Yes, we have discovered that Aaron can be our real life um search engine for the Fairview Social Podcast. Very true. I'd say that we have a fan.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:38

So I'm I'm a raving fan.

Tim 1:26:40

I'm what I'm well played. A raving fan.

SPEAKER_02 1:26:46

And a waving fan, too.

Tim 1:26:48

Oh, waving fan. Waving and raving. We've learned that we are that we've learned that Aaron doesn't know the difference between John Hamm's ass and anyone else's ass.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:00

You need to go watch Top Gun Maverick, too.

Tim 1:27:03

We've learned that um me and Mike are really dumb when it comes to history. And you you apparently are. I'm even dumber. You're even dumber.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:13

So we're dumb and even dumber. I love that.

Tim 1:27:16

But if you ever need to know anything about the presidents, at least the order of them is right there behind me.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:21

I just want to know why Trump didn't take a different picture.

Tim 1:27:25

Um that is kind of a goofy picture. They need to have that one that he uses all the time now where he looks like he's like maybe I think of that as his mugshop. Could have been. Which would be awesome if he did that.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:39

But Aaron That would be something he would do.

Tim 1:27:42

Dri riding an Uber out to Fairview to be on the Fairview Social Podcast. I love y'all. Glad to be here.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:50

See you for Andrew Jackson. You in?

SPEAKER_01 1:27:52

Yeah. When is it?

SPEAKER_02 1:27:53

We'll let you know. Whenever. We have a TV D. It's gonna be a party. It's gonna be a lot of fun.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:58

I'm down.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:59

Alright.

Tim 1:28:00

Goodbye, Aaron.

SPEAKER_04 1:28:05

Goodbye.
