Introduction

[00:00:03] Speaker A: Where are they? [00:00:04] Speaker B: They're probably upstairs. [00:00:08] Speaker A: They never answer the door. Oh, wait, it's Monday night. They're on the second floor. Hey, guys, I'm Matt. [00:00:26] Speaker B: And I'm Beau. And this is Second Floor Sessions, a new show that we're starting together. Basically to tell you a little bit about the show. It's just going to be about anything you can think of. Anything we can think of. We're going to try to cover it and just talk about it. I probably start by telling you guys a little bit about ourselves and who you're actually listening to. If you wanted to kind of go first, we'll just talk about it. [00:00:49] Speaker A: All right. We're going to try to do this every Monday for you guys. So just stay tuned with us. I'll start it all off. Well, I guess we'll just start off at. Me and Bo met in kindergarten. We started it off there and been pretty much best friends since. And so where I started, I was a little bit different than most kids were growing up. I. I done things different. I decided to work at a young age instead of go hang out and spend all night with my friends and all that good stuff. I started, you know, I did have a Coming, you know, from a good family and whatnot. But I was very rough. I broke 13 bones by the time I was. Well, okay, I'll take that back. Nine bones was all, you know, from three years old till I was. I think I was 16. And then that was up to nine and then everything. Double digits, 10, 11, 12, and 13 was all legs. And that was when I was like 16 to about 20. 20, I guess. So I bet you didn't even know that, did you? [00:02:15] Speaker B: No, I didn't have a clue. It sounds like you had to learn to rewalk. [00:02:21] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. [00:02:23] Speaker B: So. [00:02:24] Speaker A: But yeah, so I started. I just done crazy stuff when I was a kid, but started at a grocery store out next to my house when I was 11. I was just turned. Fixing to turn. No, yeah, I started when I was 10, fixing to turn 11 and little grocery store out close to mom and dad's house, probably two to three miles. Worked there for a long time. But it wasn't just your. It was your typical. Some people don't even know about the old country store stuff, but yeah, probably. [00:03:04] Speaker B: Not a new age listeners or younger folks. [00:03:08] Speaker A: Younger people ain't gonna realize that. But it was really cool. It was a mom and pop, you know, or it was. Well, it was a mom and pop, but the dad and the daughter ran it super, super good. Guys and lady that ran it. I worked there for a long time, but I did anything from pumping gas to cutting meat to making sandwiches to whatever you could think of. I'll never forget when I started they had a meat counter and that meat counter to help customers. I couldn't see over the meat counter. [00:03:45] Speaker B: So. [00:03:47] Speaker A: Virgil made me a big wooden crate that I could stand on to slice the meat and then to. I mean I'm 10 or 11 years old. I mean, you know, it's worrying. [00:03:59] Speaker B: You can cut your fingers off. [00:04:00] Speaker A: I do. I've got some scars. [00:04:02] Speaker B: Okay. [00:04:02] Speaker A: Yeah, I've got some scars. Wrap the meat up and all that stuff. Grind hamburger. I mean that was another thing. It was like Really, I mean 11 year old kid grinding hamburger. That sounds, that sounds really dangerous. But my mom and dad let me. And they. It's made me who I am today. But I guess, you know, doing that when I first started it was crazy because it just, it was in, it was, it was in. I guess it was in early September or late August, early September. But it was September 11, 2021 or 2001. 2001. And was getting off a school bus after all that happened. Well, actually my mom come pick me up that day at school like everybody else's mom did. I don't even know if the buses ran then. I don't remember if they did or not. I don't think they did it where we went to school at. [00:05:01] Speaker B: And I don't think I left early on September 11th. [00:05:03] Speaker A: Well, we got to leave. [00:05:04] Speaker B: For anyone that don't know, that's when the Twin Towers were attacked by terrorists there in New York City. [00:05:08] Speaker A: But so that, you know, I left. I started, you know, they're really close to that. But people. I think I went to work when, when, you know that mom come pick me up and I just pumped gas for like felt like a week straight. And it probably was a week straight. [00:05:25] Speaker B: It probably was. [00:05:26] Speaker A: People was flipping out. Yeah. Thinking we wasn't going to get no more gas. And we did have a gas. Like we. Yeah, we had a gas shortage in 01 for a little bit where I was at and I don't know, you know, you know, anywhere else but where I worked at. We didn't get gas for like two or three weeks maybe a month after. After all that happened and we were walking. [00:05:50] Speaker B: We didn't care anyway. [00:05:51] Speaker A: Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It didn't matter. And mom and dad, yeah, they made a way to get us to where we needed to be. But. But I sat out there for a Week and, like, just pumped that gas and pumped it and pumped it. And I thought, man, this is terrible, you know, but. But it wasn't that bad. So looking back on it. But I stocked shelves there. I done everything. Used to slice meat, you know, make sandwiches. Lunch rush, we do, you know, sandwiches. Anything you could think of as far as country stores. Country store produce. Eggs. Country eggs. [00:06:33] Speaker B: Unloading trucks. [00:06:35] Speaker A: Yeah, absolutely. We. So I worked there until I was 18. I think I was almost 18. Started doing cabinetry. And that was around 2006, 2007. Started doing cabinetry. Really liked it. Just. I wish I could have done it, continue to do it. I love woodworking. Don't really do any of that now at all. Don't have time. But the cabinet shop was awesome. It was a. Seeing people spend $100,000 on a kitchen cabinet set was just unreal to me at the time, you know. [00:07:20] Speaker B: Still is. [00:07:20] Speaker A: Yeah, it is. That is crazy. But I mean, that was. And that was in 08 or, I mean, 06 07, but done that. We done everything from build them, paint them, install them, then we put countertops on. Got to see a lot of fancy, fancy homes up there. And, you know, Knoxville area was some of our big clients. And so, you know, 2008 rolled around and world fell on its face. Had a recession, somewhat of a recession that I can remember. I still wasn't. I was young. What was 18. 18 years old. Yes, 17. 18. You know, gas prices was $5, four and a half, $5 a gallon. But anyways, that job, it put the brakes on. And my boss, he told me that he was going to find another job because we were shutting down. I didn't really know what I was going to do, but I knew some buddies that was working at an automotive shop. And I've worked on cars for. We worked on cars. We tore up stuff all the time. Yeah, we tore up stuff a lot. So I was always working on, if it wasn't mine, it was yours. If it wasn't yours, it was one of our other buddies. So he's constantly working on something. So I was like, well, you know, I'll try my hand at it. And I may have called you or Dustin or one of you and, you know, and asked if Ian's had a job, anybody, if they all were hiring. And you were. And that's what led me to the automotive field that I'm in today. So after called you boss was like, you know, or the manager. Your manager at the time told me that they didn't have nothing where you guys was at, which really broke my heart because I wanted to be there. And went to a Knoxville location and started, put in an application and it wasn't long, maybe a day or two. They said, come have an interview with us. Okay. So I go up there and didn't realize at the time that even I thought maybe that that was the hub location, that they'll send me down to Lenore City. I didn't know that I was going to get. [00:10:04] Speaker B: Might train there and get. [00:10:05] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, whatever. Or you just come up here and this is where it starts and we'll send you to wherever we want you, that sort of thing. Well, that wasn't it. So they gave me a job. And so I went back and told my boss, you know, you know, hey, at the cabinet shop, told him, you know, they, they want, they want me, you know, but I want to work out a two week notice. And he was like, I don't, I don't, I don't think there's no need in that. You just need to go on and start. He said, but I'll give you a month's pay, your pay. And so I was tickled to death because if anybody's ever had a job and goes from job to job, you know, you've got an interim there that you don't get paid. You have a two week period that generally, you know, they hold your check for two weeks. So that worked out really well. And he just cut me a check right on the spot. I load my tools up and boom, I'm out of there. And the next morning, I'm starting at the shop. [00:11:01] Speaker B: Yeah, that's unreal. Somebody do that? [00:11:05] Speaker A: Yep, yep. Super, super awesome guy, you know, Started at the shop, worked there for 10 years, very good experience. Started doing tire work, couldn't stand it. Absolutely hated it. Thought this was. I was. After two years, I was done and ready to be out of the place because I just, I wanted, I wanted something different. I couldn't stand the reputation of round tires all day long. I just couldn't. I didn't, I didn't like it. [00:11:38] Speaker B: That's just what, enough angles for you? [00:11:39] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. But here I am, you know, worked there for 10 years, worked my way up to service and then done mechanical work. And, you know, we kind of went to. I wouldn't say that I went to the top, but I did go as far as I could go. [00:12:05] Speaker B: In the shop. In the shop. You would say that. [00:12:08] Speaker A: Okay. Yeah, I went as far as I could go. And then, you know, and worked as we worked. I mean, I don't know if you did. I worked six days a week where I was at. They kind of frowned on it. But if you made them money, you know, they don't care if you're making the money. If you're sitting there burning the. You're stealing the company's time, then, yeah, they're going to send you home. But I didn't. And I just saved a lot of money for a little while and put some money back. And we. I worked there for 10 years. It was a good exposure for all that. Took some money and started a business where I'm at today with some good business partners. I run a parts store and small engine, very big, small engine here in East Tennessee. We do a lot of mower repairs. We do a lot of diagnostics, things like that. Parts. We do a lot of automotive parts. Been here, been here doing it now for. Seems really weird because these years are that we don't feel like I've really been doing it that long. I mean, I can remember when me and you got in trouble and it feels like it wasn't long ago for drag racing we got in trouble. [00:13:31] Speaker B: You start adding up these dates and these time ranges that you're talking about and you think, well, I ain't that old. And then you go, well, golly, I am that. [00:13:38] Speaker A: Yeah, I know it feels, you know, when we got in trouble for drag racing, but I say that because it's like it doesn't feel like we've been doing. I didn't feel like I worked at the shop for 10 years and it doesn't feel like I've been up here working on automotive parts and mowers for eight years. [00:13:54] Speaker B: Running your own business? [00:13:55] Speaker A: Yeah, running. Yeah, running my own. Yeah, running my own business for eight years. So, I mean, I've been doing automotive related since I was 14, but actually probably 14 or 15, but then actually physically in the field, working professionally, doing it for 18 years now. But that's. But I have a good business now that a nice little business that does. That's thriving and we're continuing to grow and thinking of doing different things coming down the pipeline. So we're super excited. I'm super excited about that. [00:14:32] Speaker B: Hence the starting to show. Like we don't have enough. [00:14:35] Speaker A: Yeah. Like we didn't. We ain't got. We ain't got. Yeah. I don't know how we're going to, you know, how we as busy as both of us are, how we squeeze stuff like this in, but it's really good because like I said with you, it's just. What we're going to be doing is. What did I. How did I say it? It was just more of a decompress and talk to each other and. [00:14:56] Speaker B: Yeah, we might talk about our days, what we experience throughout the day. Different topics that we just want to talk about and touch on. Yeah, just probably have some guests on the show and just talk to them too. [00:15:06] Speaker A: Yeah, their life and what, what. What their field is and what their interests are. But. But for me, that's. That's kind of the rundown for me. You know, it's. It's kind of basic for. You know, but for. For between 11 to 11, till I was 16, 18 years old was really different being. I mean, I didn't get to go play football. I didn't get to. I could have. I mean, I did if I didn't work, but I don't know, I didn't almost feel like. I didn't even act like I was. I didn't feel like I was allowed to do it. I don't know. It was weird. [00:15:40] Speaker B: Yeah, you were. [00:15:42] Speaker A: You guys. You guys would even come in the store, at the grocery store and come in and see me. I don't even know. I probably fixed in sandwiches or something. I think I have. [00:15:50] Speaker B: I'm sure I don't, but. [00:15:52] Speaker A: But you guys would be going out, hanging out, doing stuff. [00:15:55] Speaker B: I remember my papa taking me over there when I was a little, little kid and you were in there working. Yeah. [00:15:59] Speaker A: Yeah. Okay. [00:15:59] Speaker B: You know, I probably just thought you were virtual grandson or something. [00:16:02] Speaker A: I don't know. Well, I felt like it. [00:16:04] Speaker B: Family. [00:16:06] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's talk about them. So my family, me and my wife have been married going on 14 years. Is that not crazy? 14. You're right there. 14 years almost. We have been together 14 years, got three kids, have Cooper, who's 10, Ruby, who is six. And Robbie, who you just met tonight. [00:16:36] Speaker B: I think maybe first for the first time. Maybe I don't feel like it's because of pictures. Probably. [00:16:41] Speaker A: Okay. But yeah, for the first time, I. [00:16:44] Speaker B: Was trying to think about that earlier. [00:16:46] Speaker A: Alex is pretty good about that stuff. She's like, bo ain't never seen him. Who's serious? And I was like, well, okay, well, good. And then Robbie, which is 18 months old, which is really crazy how we haven't. He hadn't seen him in 18 months. But anyways, all that being said, we've. We've had a roller coaster of a. Of a. Not of a marriage. But of a. I guess, of our marriage. I mean, we've had some ups and downs like everybody, but I'm talking about as far as being a child sick. That was 2018. [00:17:23] Speaker B: Go very lightly into that because we'll talk about that on our show. [00:17:26] Speaker A: Probably. Yeah. We were diagnosed with cancer, stage four. And nothing else in the world mattered then. It was just. We've got to figure out how to push forward and keep trudging through it. That's what I mean by ups and downs. I don't. I mean, me and my wife are strong as ever. She's the best wife ever. But you may argue that yours is, but we both have amazing lives. [00:17:57] Speaker B: I don't know that either one of. [00:17:58] Speaker A: Us could have go. [00:17:59] Speaker B: I mean, you'd have to. And you'd probably be surprised what you do when you're faced with it. But that. That was a lot for y' all to go through. [00:18:05] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. And through. We won't get into that, but in the time. It's just. You have to. There's no, you know, you just make yourself do it. But. But went through all that in the midst of that. I'm the kind of guy that wants, you know, try for a second one. So when we're diagnosed in the hospital, we wind up two weeks diagnosed and we wind up five weeks pregnant. You know, so I don't want to. [00:18:35] Speaker B: I don't want it because that's a rabbit hole I'm fixing. [00:18:38] Speaker A: Don't go down. [00:18:38] Speaker B: I'm not going to ask questions. I'm about to go down a Rabb. [00:18:40] Speaker A: Yeah. No, don't do that. So we come out of that and we move into 2024. And then Robbie was born and leads me up to three kids and homeschool my kids. That's something different, too, that some people don't do nowadays. Some people do it. [00:19:05] Speaker B: We're going to touch on schools, too. [00:19:07] Speaker A: That's one thing. [00:19:08] Speaker B: That's one thing. [00:19:10] Speaker A: And I've been disconnected from the. Since school system since 08. So I'm blessed. [00:19:16] Speaker B: Use the word blessed. Use the word blessed. [00:19:20] Speaker A: You would know a lot better than me about stuff. But anyways, that's pretty much me in a nutshell. [00:19:26] Speaker B: Okay. [00:19:26] Speaker A: That's pretty much me in a nutshell. [00:19:29] Speaker B: So I'll talk a little bit about me, my upbringing, work, life, where, you know, my experiences. Nowhere near as productive as Matt's, let's say. I do not own my own business. [00:19:46] Speaker A: You're a manager and you run. [00:19:48] Speaker B: I've not been working since I was 11, though, either. Like this guy has. Anyway, so grew up mom and dad household. I had a brother and I say had because he was actually killed in a car wreck. So he's no longer living, but grew up with a brother. Big neighborhood area on a old country road. Lots of kids in the area. So grew up playing a ton of backyard football, swimming each other's pools till, you know, we get in one pool in the morning, we get in one pool in the afternoon and then one pool at night. Most of the time they come to our house. We had above ground pool and we'd have five to 10 kids in that one pool in the mornings. And the sun was up over our house. So then as it went back this way, it would cover the other port or the other pool in the afternoon. So we'd go to that pool for the afternoon until the sun went down. And then we'd go down the hill over here because the sun was on it all day long. So it was always the warmest at night. And we'd get in that one in sp. [00:20:54] Speaker A: I did miss out. [00:20:55] Speaker B: Yeah, I missed out a bunch. Yeah, well, a lot of stuff that happened, you know, throughout that day, but. But running around the woods. We love to fish. Well, I didn't hunt as much back then, but we, we love to. Grew up fishing, playing, playing a ton of backyard sports. Oh goodness. Let's see here. So I actually mowed yards for a guy in high school. He had his own business, had went down to Louisiana during hurricane Katrina and actually gotten injured. And his dad ran into me and I started working for him. I guess I was 16 still. But for about a week before I got that job, for about a week I worked for another guy restoring old cars again. Somehow or another I stumbled upon automotive and I have no idea how, but I did. I got put in there. I was actually sandblasting parts in a glass bead machine. [00:21:54] Speaker A: Were you driving the Bronco back then? Yeah. [00:21:57] Speaker B: I thought you were 84 Bronco 24 on the floor. Yeah, I was. That was my first vehicle. But yeah, I worked for him for about a week. And all I was doing was running a glass bead machine. And it was not like eye level, so I spent like four hours as soon as I got out of school for about a week straight slumped over my arms in that glass bead machine, man. And you could. [00:22:21] Speaker A: Oh, that'd be terrible. [00:22:22] Speaker B: You could hear me stand up. When I did, it was. It was awful. So anyway, I worked there through that, like for a full week. And I was excited to do it until, until that happened or until I guess I got a taste of it or whatever. So the, the old guy that owned the business, he told me, he's like, you know what we're gonna do? We're gonna clean this shop tomorrow. It was a Saturday. And he said, I want you to come in and, and let's. We're gonna steam clean this whole, this whole shop. We rode all the cars outside and toolboxes and everything was in the way and we pressure washed with a steam cleaner that entire shop. And it was cold. It was winter time. I was soaking wet. By the time I left, it's a million. I wasn't sick. I may have been, I don't remember. But he told me, he said, Monday, when we get here, we'll just continue this and we're gonna do my house. And I went, you're gonna do your house? I ain't coming back. I knew better. I knew better, man, I was just, I knew I wasn't going to come back. So Monday next week rolls around and I do exactly what I preach, you know, young guys not to do nowadays, which is, you know, always give a two week notice. And I guess back then maybe I, maybe I knew it or didn't know it, I can't remember, it's been so long ago, but I did, I did not leave a two week notice for the guy. And I guess now looking back at it in the, in the grand scheme of things and in the type of position I'm in now, after about a week, it doesn't really make a difference whether you leave me or not. You're not vital yet. But anyway, he told me then he said, son, you always leave a two week notice. Here's your last check. When I went and turned it in. And I've always, since then, once I was kind of told about it, I realized, but man, I had to face some music with my dad when I got home. And I knew he was, he was hard on me, but he, he wore me out, you know, fussing at me. You ain't going to find another job that close to home. I think back then minimum wage was only 575 an hour. I got to thinking about that. I'm pretty sure it was 5, 7, 5, 25 or 575 an hour. And he was paying me like 7 bucks an hour. And my dad, my dad's older so you know, he can remember when he went to work for the railroad for like $2 and something an hour. So he was Florida. I was making seven in high school and it was minimum wage. Was five something, you know, He. And he tore me up and down. You ain't never gonna find another job that close to home it pays you that good, you know. And I ran into oh, Bethel's dad over there at the ruatan that we were in and needing help. And you said you had. Funny you had helped him. [00:25:06] Speaker A: Funny story. [00:25:07] Speaker B: Where? [00:25:07] Speaker A: At the store when I. That little grocery store I worked at. He was renting the house beside the grocery store, Mr. Bethel was. And he just come over there. He'd bring me food and stuff. We were really close, you know. My good friend and he was like always, you know, taking care of me and asking me if I need a ride home or this or that, you know. But he said, would you help me one evening, cut some grass, see if you like it or not. And I can't remember how much I worked for him, but, you know, it was. It wasn't long. [00:25:37] Speaker B: You at least went once. [00:25:38] Speaker A: I went once or twice. And I remember we went way up when we left. We went way up into Lenore City. Like. Like up. [00:25:46] Speaker B: I know where you went. You went straight up high, you know, 11 and turned left in the southern region. There's a flagship house right there. [00:25:52] Speaker A: As soon as you pulled it out, something like that. [00:25:54] Speaker B: I tell you the guy's last name. I won't on here. [00:25:56] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we went out through there and we had another. [00:25:59] Speaker B: Had dogs in the backyard. Yeah, there it is. Yeah, keep going. [00:26:03] Speaker A: Yeah. But anyways, he. [00:26:04] Speaker B: He. [00:26:05] Speaker A: It's funny that how paths didn't cross somehow, but I got on that old walk behind and I had no idea how to run an old bunt and walk behind at the time. Old pistol grip. I got on that thing and I was fine until we come around or I needed to go around a tree and I didn't know how that thing operated. I just knew that. But when you creeping up on that tree, that thing slung me off like an old recap tire. And he come running over flipping out because I'm assuming back then the safeties didn't work because the mower just kept going. [00:26:34] Speaker B: Yeah, he probably had that thing. [00:26:36] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:26:36] Speaker B: You know, shorted out there. [00:26:38] Speaker A: So I don't think I can't remember if I ever went back. I know I went to weed eating, but I don't think like after that I don't think I ever went back. [00:26:46] Speaker B: Well, that's because me and. Me and Dustin started helping him. So. [00:26:49] Speaker A: But anyways, go ahead. [00:26:49] Speaker B: You were working at the store anyway so, yeah, so I went. That guy ran into him. His son had been hurt trying to get his business back up. I agreed to go work for him, which was a haha I told you so dad moment, because it was closer to home and it paid me a dollar more on the hour than another one was. So that was the first lesson I had of like, you know, do what you want to do kind of thing. Or, you know, don't, don't. There's enough stuff out there. [00:27:19] Speaker A: Don't settle. Don't settle. [00:27:20] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. So don't settle. Anyway, I did that for an entire summer. Went back to school my senior year. See here, when I got out of school again, dad hard on me as soon as I, you know, as soon as I get out of school, you know, you got to get a job, you know. And it was like two weeks later. What are you doing here still, you know, it just owned me. And thank God he was, because who knows what I would have done. But I knew a guy who worked where I work now. He said, you ought to put an application up there. I did. Like Matt, I started doing tire work as well. Eighteen years later, here I am. We run a store, one of our stores, you know, so. Also in the automotive field and have been for. Well, in June, it would be 18 years straight. [00:28:05] Speaker A: So who's the guy that. I don't know if I ever knew who was. Do I know the guy that told you to come up here and work? [00:28:15] Speaker B: It was Michael Miller. [00:28:18] Speaker A: Oh, okay. Yeah. [00:28:19] Speaker B: Tim and Chase worked up there at the same time. [00:28:20] Speaker A: Okay. Okay. Wow. I forgot about him working up there. [00:28:23] Speaker B: He did. When I first started. [00:28:24] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. He was working when I started up there too. [00:28:27] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. We all kind of just everybody works with. I didn't know who told you, but that's kind of the extent of my work history. It's pretty boring compared to yours, I mean. [00:28:39] Speaker A: And I was just thinking about when you told me starting out. I think they started me out at the grocery store when I was 11, because I had mentioned it to mom and I thought. I think she told me that it was like 375 an hour is what I started when I was 11. Which to me back then, man, that was a lot of money because I think my first paycheck there was like $90 a week. [00:28:58] Speaker B: Well, he was doing you a favor. Yeah, he's doing you a favor. [00:29:02] Speaker A: He didn't have, you know, he didn't have to. Well, I mean, nowadays it doesn't matter country store or what you're not hiring an 11 year old to run it. Slice meat hamburger. That ain't going to happen. No, no, that ain't going to happen. [00:29:14] Speaker B: You'd have all kinds of people throwing fits over there. [00:29:16] Speaker A: Yeah, that is not going to happen. And it was, I think it was under. I don't know, I'm assuming it was under the table. But you know, I don't even know how much of a paycheck I ever got because I eat all the time. I was a big boy, I'm still a big boy, but. But I would eat my whole paycheck, I think through the week. So I mean, they were benefiting off of me being there. Looking back at it now, you know, he'd run tabs, you know, he'd have tabs up there where customers. Where customers would come in and get groceries for, you know, $60 worth of groceries back in the day for a week's time. Then they'd come pay at the end of the week or the end of the month or if we got your check or whatever the case would be. [00:29:53] Speaker B: Man, I wish times were like that still. [00:29:54] Speaker A: Yeah, I know, but you can't trust nobody. I mean, you can't. I mean you can trust people, but you can't, you can't do that because things are so tight nowadays. You gotta, you gotta get your money when you want, you know, when it, you know, when it comes up, it's time to get your money. Yeah, the end of the month. [00:30:09] Speaker B: So as far as family goes, also I got a wonderful wife, two boys, Reese and Avery. One's 10, one's four. We're a sports family. It's baseball non stop for us. We're about to get into winter time, so we will actually let them play basketball during the winter too. So they'll both play basketball this year. [00:30:31] Speaker A: Ruby got big into basketball here lately. [00:30:33] Speaker B: Oh, it's fun. [00:30:35] Speaker A: Now they can, they can shoot, but they don't. They gotta work on the dribble. We're still playing off the ground like we used to back in the day. [00:30:42] Speaker B: That'll come with time. Put them in some gravel, let them learn dribble in that. That's what we had to do. [00:30:47] Speaker A: Teach them then. [00:30:48] Speaker B: Yeah, but I believe that's, that's about all. I mean, probably catch it by East Tennessee, right? East Tennessee. Grew up, born and raised. Yep, yep. Hauling hay and having fires when we were in high school. [00:31:05] Speaker A: Just had some fires. [00:31:06] Speaker B: You know when Matt gets off work. [00:31:08] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:31:09] Speaker B: We all had to wait on match, get off work. Yeah. He'd show up late. [00:31:12] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah, but about 7:30? Yeah. [00:31:16] Speaker B: Yeah, but, yeah, we just figured we'd start a show basically just to just put ourselves on camera and talk. That's it. And like I said, we'll bring up a little bit of everything, what we can think of, experiences through the day. Like, we're both in retail, so we got. [00:31:35] Speaker A: We've got oodles of stories. [00:31:36] Speaker B: Yeah. And it may just be different from time to time. We may just throw a. Oh, let me tell you what happened today in there. You know, just randomly. [00:31:43] Speaker A: We'll have one. We'll have one. One show, though, that we just need. It may be. It's long. It's just retail. [00:31:49] Speaker B: We need to kind of write down. [00:31:50] Speaker A: Stories that would be. [00:31:52] Speaker B: Kind of go over what happened and all that. And we love comments back. If somebody could tell us, you know. [00:31:57] Speaker A: Well, and tell us what you guys want to see, too. I mean, that would be.
