Braunfels has never known how to handle me, and they still don't. Were you like this.

Speaker 1:

Was it high school, junior high? I was always, always the black sheep, kind of the weird strange one. In high school they used to call me hair and nails and it's because my hair was this big. I mean, if you're not looking, I mean I had, I had the big hair. Where did those thoughts come from?

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Nobody wants to get in there. I don't know.

Speaker 2:

Well, you know it's. It's funny cause you look back at life, right, and as you get older, you know you, you go, oh, I understand more why that person was like that way, right, like for me, you know, being a comic, you know crazy tough divorce. As a kid my parents moved around a lot different schools.

Speaker 1:

I didn't realize that, I didn't realize that you so I learned to be funny. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

I learned to make friends fast. You know to adapt and stuff was going on at home. But that's what kind of made me a comedian is that I found defense and humor.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

To defend myself.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

When I was maybe not having a good day at home with whatever was going on with the divorce and my parents or whatever. You never knew it.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

Was that for you?

Speaker 1:

So for me? I was told at a very young age that I would never amount to anything.

Speaker 2:

Oh, I got that too.

Speaker 1:

Very young age.

Speaker 2:

Why Were you silly, Were you Well I?

Speaker 1:

won my first beauty contest when I was a year old and they had put me in this deal and I mean, like I Cute little baby yeah.

Speaker 1:

Butterball. I think I screened through the whole thing. They just fed me M&Ms. I was a little fat, chunky little thing, but I mean just clearly full of spirit. But when I was old enough to realize what they were saying, I thought and I took it to heart. I really took it to heart. And my parents got divorced when I was young and I had a little brother we're four years apart and I took care of him quite often and single mom working all the time and a dad that was working all the time.

Speaker 2:

But it was a brutal relationship at home. Well, you sound like me too, where you were kind of on your own. Yes, Kind of you know kind of like figure it out.

Speaker 1:

Yep, I was, and I had a kind of an adoptive parents that were very involved in my life, that they I spent a lot of time with Now, when you say adoptive parents like neighbors, friends they were, so they ran the daycare facility that I spent, you know, so you were hanging out 90% of my time. You know that's who.

Speaker 2:

And they took a liking to you.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, and they're like this girl, I mean I had my own bedroom at their house, and I mean it was, and you'd go over there.

Speaker 2:

And your parents were just like she's. She's doing her thing doing it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so I worked at a very young age and then, um, I moved out when I was 14 and I, um, just I don't know, I, I, I. I've always been a free spirit.

Speaker 2:

I've always been. It was very similar to me I am. I am a well. My dad had this cause. I have wonderful parents.

Speaker 1:

Yes, not that I don't have wonderful parents. They had problems yeah.

Speaker 2:

They had problems that bled into my life, so I wouldn't say that I have terrible parents or beautiful parents Right. Um, but they had whatever the fuck they had. But I remember my dad would say like you know, if you don't want me to tell you what to do, make your own fucking money.

Speaker 1:

Right and I'm like okay, yeah, so I did, I'll go do that Yep Later. Same. You know, that's exactly what I did.

Speaker 2:

You know, you just start figuring it out. Yes, but then this Tiffany style junior high.

Speaker 1:

Very much so. I've always been never really was ever afraid to just wear and do my own thing. I've always been if it didn't match or if it didn't, if it didn't look right, I was like, yeah, that's it.

Speaker 2:

I feel like I'm not being mean, but I feel like you're like. I feel like had I met you and we've known each other now gosh 10 years, um, but had I met you 20 years ago, I kind of feel like you didn't quite have it down.

Speaker 1:

No, no, I was like a baby.

Speaker 2:

Like now I see you and I go well, fuck, that's Tiffany, the style works, the hair works. Do you think you adapted?

Speaker 1:

to it, or do you think it's because you've become accustomed to it? I think you got good at it. Okay, is what?

Speaker 2:

I think, I think a lot of people try to fucking do what you do, yeah, and they're not good at it, right, and I think you spent a lot of time. It's like today we're talking about this cool shit we're gonna do here at the studio and you just know, yeah, you already know in your head.

Speaker 1:

No, no, no, steve, I know, and that takes a long time if you, because you know who the fuck you are if you sit me in a room by myself or throw a project at me and leave me alone in that area, in five to 10 minutes it's either going to happen or it's not. And if I'm not feeling the vibe or if I need to go back and regroup and really study it, I'll be the first one to tell you nope, give me two days.

Speaker 2:

It's not happening right now.

Speaker 1:

Nope, it's not happening. And if I'm not in my zone I will not fight. I know better. I will not fight with myself, I will not.

Speaker 2:

But would you say that comes with age too?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I think so, Like for me.

Speaker 2:

I have become so much more chill, like I don't worry about it, I don't micromanage, I don't, you know, I hire people and I trust them.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

And I believe in them.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

But that wasn't me.

Speaker 1:

10 years ago. Oh no, you know, 110% same.

Speaker 2:

You get to an age where you're like no, I know what I want, and like when we were talking to you it's like hey, tiffany, I've we're doing go yeah and I'm smart enough now to go. I will give you ideas and a direction, right and even when I go. Well, what do you think of that?

Speaker 1:

you're like no, I'm like okay yeah but it comes, but it's also because you trust to turn, turn me loose and let me know that it's, it's okay and it's same with because whatever the fuck you're doing works well, you know I've got we. I don't know, no, I don't know if it works all the time.

Speaker 2:

But well, no, but but there's, and I'm not gonna name any names, but I remember, when we were dealing with all of this, I had met a girl and I go tiffany. She's like you liked yeah like she's like the. Yeah, she's like the either poor version or the diet version. Right, she didn't quite get it yeah and I think. But I also think, that's because in junior high you were already, I was moving in crazy tiffany fucking direction.

Speaker 1:

I was, and I'll tell you who, um a very young, at a very young age, who I had grabbed a hold of was my aunt Margaret, and so that was my grandfather's sister.

Speaker 2:

So a great aunt. Yes, it would be a great aunt. Yes.

Speaker 1:

And so she would come down from Oklahoma and visit. And I remember her at 90-something years of age sitting on the floor with me she was an artist, oil painting and doing cartwheels and I was infatu floor with me. She was an artist oil painting and doing cartwheels and I was infatuated with it.

Speaker 2:

Like that hippie.

Speaker 1:

She looked like Betty White, this little tiny thing, and I was like, wait what?

Speaker 2:

Full of energy spirit. You just did a cart.

Speaker 1:

Yes, she had this whole aura about herself, this whole I mean vibe, this whole, like you're 90 and you're like I'll do a cartwheel with you come on and I was like what the hell? Like it was just my stepdad's.

Speaker 2:

I was just same things, you know. Wait, well, let me go back a little bit. So my nieces told my sister they're like steve and renee are like cool old.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, like they're old, but they're like. Steve and Renee are like cool old, yeah, like they're old, but they're cool. Old school cool, but they're cool. Yeah, you know, they're not like aunt and uncle, they're like the cool aunt and uncle, right, yeah, the one everybody wants to go hang with, right. And.

Speaker 2:

I think that there's those people in your life, right that you see. But then you get older and you go oh right because my aunt, my aunt ellen who is my stepdad's sister?

Speaker 1:

same thing, yeah right, super very similar to you.

Speaker 2:

I guess I'm not mad her patchouli yeah you know, the vibe, the yeah the crystals the whole fucking thing, yep, and I'm waiting tables. I'm 16 years old, I'm waiting tables and and they come in to eat and all of a sudden the waitress I worked with is hugging on my aunt and she's like oh my God, Ellen's your aunt. I'm like I'm 16. Right, I'm like, well, it's my stepdad's sister. Yeah, it's my aunt.

Speaker 1:

The whole family tree.

Speaker 2:

She's oh my God, she grows the best pot. Yeah, and dude my face. My face was like what? And she was like oh shit, I think I just ratted your aunt out, yeah, but I was also old enough to go.

Speaker 1:

Now. I get it now. It all makes perfect sense so funny story.

Speaker 2:

You know, because I lived in california. They legalized marijuana there first right, so I was. I became my my Aunt Ellen's drug dealer Solid, so I would buy her-.

Speaker 1:

Everybody needs that on their resume, so I would buy her In a fine print.

Speaker 2:

Usually cookies.

Speaker 1:

She liked the cookies, the edibles yeah.

Speaker 2:

And I would send them home to my mom and it would say to Ellen like make sure Ellen gets this right. So one day my mom calls me and she's like what the fuck?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you know my mom, yes, yes, why do you say my aunt Margaret?

Speaker 2:

Yes, my mom, but my mom's like, well, what the fuck's going on? Yeah, and I go, mom, what do you mean? You send? You, send Ellen cookies. You never sent me cookie, yeah, so I go. Well, mom, I go there for Ellen, right? So a week goes by, she decides fuck Ellen, I'm keeping the cookies.

Speaker 1:

She has no idea. I cannot believe that Miss Dora has not told me this story.

Speaker 2:

My stepdad's calling me. What's going on? Your mom's freaking the fuck out.

Speaker 1:

She'd been asleep for four damn days, yeah Her hair's all fucked up. Yeah, I'm like now you understand why they're for fucking Ellen. She hadn't put her red lipstick on for four days.

Speaker 2:

I think most people I would say 90% of people, maybe more they're afraid to express themselves.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, they are.

Speaker 1:

They're afraid to not be the norm that was one of the fun parts of when I had my boutique in green was, um, to take people and they're like, oh, that was the first thing they would say, I cannot pull that off. And I'd be like, oh, you are my favorite candidate ever and I would take him in. And I had crushed velvet curtains and I had taken an old green bean can and taken the wrapper off and hung it on the wall in both the dressing rooms and I had these old vintage benches from MGM studios and had put them in there and, um, and I let people tag the walls.

Speaker 1:

I was like write your inspo, just sign the wall whatever, cody, canada and Shannon and Wade's wife Shelby, and all of them would come in and how to express yourself and they were like, really, I can just doodle on the walls. I was like doodle. Yes, I had the little stage stage in there, but it was so fun to have people come in and go. Man, I haven't seen velvet bell bottoms and since I was yeah, in the 60s.

Speaker 1:

And then the next thing you know I've got, I'd be at green hall and I was like, look at all, look at all these bell bottoms just running around green hall that I've just brought back and thought you, you know it's okay to tie the tank top up and have fun.

Speaker 2:

Yes, you know, I you think it's a shit about your scars and your your.

Speaker 1:

whatever my gosh, we're all baby mamas.

Speaker 2:

Come on, wear it One of the Just wear it Biggest thing. Feel your vibe. My very own wife, renee, taught me Captain Evil herself. We were in Vegas and they used to have at the Venetian.

Speaker 1:

They used to have Rock of Ages show I don't remember that Dude would come out dressed like an 80s hairband and we just loved doing it. So good Fun, yes.

Speaker 2:

And then he would bring people into the dance floor. So he got these shots and he's like all right, we're going to have a shot contest and, dude, fucking Renee pops up.

Speaker 1:

Yes. She goes over there and then the first girl does a shot, second girl does a shot and renee just yeah, no hands, takes this fucking shit.

Speaker 2:

I have this picture of her you know, like with her head up, with this shot glass in her mouth, you know and I remember her. I remember her taking that picture. She still has it yes and put it on her vanity and she goes. That girl I always want to be yes she's like I will never say I'm too old to do anything.

Speaker 1:

No, and that's exactly how my Aunt. Margaret was to me. I mean and I will never.

Speaker 2:

But a huge influence.

Speaker 1:

Oh my gosh, I'll never forget that day. I mean, I'm weeks away from being 51 years old. I was probably four or five when this happened and I remember it like it was yesterday.

Speaker 2:

Like this bitch is bad.

Speaker 1:

I can't tell you what I did. How did she dress? Oh, she was just, she was wearing jeans.

Speaker 2:

And that's unheard of for women Baggy jeans, right. Not like the elastic waistband and you know, just cool.

Speaker 1:

It's, it's, and they all have a story.

Speaker 1:

This guy's a rock star.

Speaker 2:

Gorgeous.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

It is. I'm going to tell you guys right now. Full blue suit. This dog was Send Tiffany a message.

Speaker 1:

The tiniest dog. He weighed all of 29 pounds at full grown. So what happened? So he had kidney stones. We knew he had some bladder issues before so we've had him on preventative maintenance. We had put him on it. The dog food alone was 130 a bag, but you know it's one of those that's another note.

Speaker 2:

Do not get a fucking pet if you're not willing no, to don't do it.

Speaker 1:

Do not do it.

Speaker 2:

I mean, these guys are tying the dog in the backyard not okay not at all yeah leaving your dog to run around in the backyard?

Speaker 1:

nope, not okay no, these guys have resort living at my house. I mean, clearly, tigers on our porch right now. But so he was in the hospital and, um, everything was going very well. He had the kidney stones. There was a ton of them, but they were tiny.

Speaker 1:

Like I saw them, they were smaller than grains of salt, and I'm not talking about the ones that no, no, but he's, I'm so on point and with them that I would watch the color of his urine. I would, I would know, and and so I said, look I I, there's just something. His vibe is not right. And you know, nick, nick is, and that's nick's boy, I mean nick, and king yes, two peas in a pod.

Speaker 1:

And he his, he just wasn't right. And so I called him and they said let's, let's do a full on study. So everything went, everything was going great. In fact, it was right before Memorial day weekend. Um, they called and said hey, man, he's doing fabulous. His blood work is great. Um, we've passed everything, we're not going to have to do surgery. Um, yeah, his catheters are out.

Speaker 1:

All good, everything is golden, everything's golden. And I said, look, I am slammed at the resort it's. I'm not going to come up for air, I really do not want him to be.

Speaker 2:

It's fucking balls to the wall.

Speaker 1:

Yes, and it's 180,000 degrees outside, so and I'm not going to be able to have spend the time with them. Y'all keep him very close with the whole crew over at this hospital, and they would. I would text them and they're like hey, he's good, go by and do visitations. Garrison would go by and stop and see him, nick would go by, stop and see him and was he perky, was he?

Speaker 2:

oh yeah, I mean just like a puppy.

Speaker 1:

Yep, just like and so happy to see everybody. And then we went and picked him up. Tuesday morning 10 o'clock came home. Nick was at the house. He was very skinny, which is normal stress, you know they're not going to eat and do and of course he wasn't eating very much but he was all IVs and what have you. And so got him home and I had texted the doctor and I said hey, is it good for? Can I go ahead and mix up some rice with his? He's on.

Speaker 1:

CD a kidney food. And he said, yeah, absolutely Go ahead and do that. And he said it's very normal, which I know you know how many animals I have and and uh, woke up the next morning and he was gone and it um it um, so they sent him and I don't know if you guys know, or I'm one of those, that I I need to know and if we can help anybody out there, I'm the first one to to save everything, yes.

Speaker 1:

And so we sent he is at A&M, we sent him to get studied and to do a full on study and to hopefully be able to save other dogs.

Speaker 2:

Other dogs and try hopefully be able to save Other dogs, other dogs and try to figure out.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's.

Speaker 2:

I'll tell you my. You know, renee and I got together. She's moving to LA. I go. You need a dog right.

Speaker 2:

LA's fucking crazy, whatever. So we buy this blue Heeler and, oh my God, tiff, did it take over my life. I wanted to be with it. I mean it. I didn't want to be apart from this dog. Right, you fall in love with this dog. I will tell you this speaking of of um, one of our biggest mistakes is I made it a frisbee dog and I mean he would run up my back. I'd throw the and it was so impressive right.

Speaker 1:

Everybody loved it.

Speaker 2:

Healers are full on energy job they need it, yes, but ultimately, him being a frisbee dog is what led to his demise so we had that dog for gosh 12, 13 years. Still a lot of energy, still doing. Well, we're playing ball with him. One day he takes off and just yelps, and then he wouldn't put pressure on his on his leg, which, by the way, I loved having the dog. So much good stand-up material came out of that yeah right like.

Speaker 2:

One of my favorite jokes was I go nothing's worse than having a dog having sex with your girl and hearing in the background and I'm like really Like I need that right now, such such good timing.

Speaker 1:

Cause. You know what?

Speaker 2:

he would do is he'd eat her panties. Yeah, when I would throw, I'd throw her panties off Right, and then the dog would be like let me see what's going on with these things.

Speaker 1:

This is a good time. This is so nice yeah.

Speaker 2:

Stay Nice. Yeah, stay the fuck away from my underwear. Yeah, he would run from your side of the bed. That was the other joke, because one time he ate the panty, right, yeah, and he's pooping and I just see a string coming out of his ass.

Speaker 1:

Is that a Victorian secret tag?

Speaker 2:

coming out of his asshole. I go here, I am at the dog park in front of a bunch of people like a fucked up clown, right, so it definitely led to a lot of great material.

Speaker 1:

God rest his soul. I took that dog everywhere.

Speaker 2:

And then it was also special to me and Renee because it was the beginning of our relationship together. And eventually he hurt his leg and we had just had Garrett hurts his leg and we had just had garrett hurt his leg. Took him to the doctor and it broke my heart because the doctor goes frisbee dog and I was like, yes, he goes, don't do that. Yep, he goes, it wears on their hind legs.

Speaker 2:

Hip dysplasia you know, know and it, just it, devastated me. So any of you guys out there, you know, don't encourage your dogs to be jumping dogs, yeah, you know, to fly from the sky and whatever.

Speaker 1:

And here's the sadder part?

Speaker 2:

The sadder part is a lot of these guys that do Frisbee competitions. As soon as this happens to their dog, they just get rid of them.

Speaker 1:

Yep, and get another one. Exactly, I don't. I same thing with horses, which you know how many rescues. I have it and and right now I've got, I've got some horses that I'm I'm selling and it's just because I've got my first grain babies coming up. I just don't have the time and these horses are amazing but they need a job and when I had them in training, I told the trainer.

Speaker 1:

I said look, he was like well, what do you want to do with them? I said it's not my job to tell that horse what I want to do with that horse. That horse needs to tell me what makes that horse happy.

Speaker 2:

Does it want to run? Does it want to have somebody riding? Exactly? What is it when?

Speaker 1:

his job wants to be? Does she want to cut? Does she want to heal? They're absolutely built for that, but I am not the person To push it into something, and as crazy as that sounds when everybody's listening, thinking really you're going to let a four-legged animal tell you what they want to do, you damn right, I am, you damn right, I am.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I mean, unless I am a roper. But what I'm saying is it's so sad, I cannot emotionally treat an animal that way.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

Like, your job is done with me Right and fuck off, I'll go get another one.

Speaker 1:

Exactly, I don't live my life like that, no.

Speaker 2:

So we got to surgery and the vet told me he goes and, by the way, this is at a time when Renee and I were not doing great and the surgeries are not cheap.

Speaker 1:

No.

Speaker 2:

But you do it.

Speaker 1:

Oh, you do it, you take that responsibility right. I mean the bill for my little that turned around and I brought him home and passed out was it's expensive.

Speaker 2:

So he told me he goes, is this surgery we're about to do? Is it'll last a year, maybe? Because it's for smaller dogs.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

It'll last a year, right at a year.

Speaker 1:

Boom.

Speaker 2:

Boom. So now we have a three-legged dog that is in terrible, terrible pain all the time. I can't Super ornery and Garrett was just a baby.

Speaker 1:

Yep.

Speaker 2:

And as soon as Garrett would crawl around him, his teeth would start to show Not because he was going to do it. He didn't want the baby, to go and hurt him. Like, stay away from me, I'm in a lot of pain. So I go back and they go. Look, here's your options Cut the leg off and have a three-legged dog, or put them down.

Speaker 1:

Right, I was like fuck. I hate those decisions, oh my God. So I told Renee. I said listen, I hate it.

Speaker 2:

Fuck Renee, by the way. Yeah, I go. Here's your options.

Speaker 1:

No one needs legs yeah.

Speaker 2:

But no, I told Renee I go, here's our options. I go, I do it without telling you and I just get it done. Number two is I tell you and I still go handle it. Number three is we go together. She goes, do it, don't tell me. I go to HEB. I buy a fat fucking steak. I cut it into little pieces for him At the time I had my 78 Blazer I take the tailgate down and we watch the sun and the clouds and I give him his um meat and I'm already like fucked up, oh yeah right, it's, it's we walk in last week has been brutal they put him down.

Speaker 2:

and uh, two things I regret for any animal lovers out there. Number one they could have done a little urn and cremated him, and they could, or they could have done his paw prints and I didn't do any of it and I regret that I didn't.

Speaker 1:

And I also regret that so much time has gone by.

Speaker 2:

I should have got a tattoo, because that's how much I love this dog and as a matter of fact, I don't have a dog today because of the hurt that I went through and I hear it's either get a dog right away or you're kind of fucked yeah. So we didn't, and that's a personal thing.

Speaker 1:

I think that's a personal deal, but yes, it's.

Speaker 2:

It wrecked me. Yeah, I'm getting emotional now because that dog was so much to me. Mm-hmm and I, you know, and Renee goes, the kids need a dog and I go, I'm not ready.

Speaker 1:

Right, because I know I'm going to fall in love Right.

Speaker 2:

And I know that dog's going to mean everything to me it is. That's why I said I'm getting a fucking turtle.

Speaker 1:

You know, and I told you, I'm about to get some bullfrogs because I can't have the flies at my house right now.

Speaker 2:

I'm about to have these fucking. You have a whole fucking ecosystem. I am Tiffany's ecosystem. I cannot.

Speaker 1:

I mean, I told Nick two days ago. I said I think I've killed 30 flies. What is it? Because we didn't have a freeze.

Speaker 2:

I can't even function in here Go fuck these flies.

Speaker 1:

I mean dogs everywhere. Nobody's going to notice a bunch of damn bullfrogs jumping around my house. They're going to think it's normal. Just don't step on them. When you come through there, hop around the pads you know what else I'll do?

Speaker 2:

I'm going to get the pen insurance.

Speaker 1:

That's a full-on thing. It is.

Speaker 2:

It's a real thing and it's worth every penny.

Speaker 1:

Well, and you know, delilah, she um, we thought she's my golden doodle, we thought she had um injured her eye and I called KP that one Sunday and I was like, oh my gosh, I mean her eyeballs gone, like it just disappeared. I don't know what happened and there's no magicians in the house, but like her eyeball is fucking gone and I was hysterical.

Speaker 1:

And so I take him to his ranch on a Sunday and he was like no, they have like two or three eyelids. She probably just scratched it. Blah, blah, blah. And so that was the first time I learned about the four eyelids, or and um then. So we sent her to a cancer center, um, did this whole treatment, um, and then boom, three years later, on Christmas morning, and she's her close with Gage. She's the one that we taught how to bird hunt at five and six months old and I was like I mean, if Duck Dynasty and them can?

Speaker 2:

do it. Yeah, we can do this shit. Yeah, it's not that hard, we freaking got this and we did. And it's in their genes. We slayed it and we do. You're just encouraging what's inside of them.

Speaker 1:

Totally, my attorney's got a place and it's all for veterans, and it's a bird hunting ranch and all the money proceeds go to the veterans. It's a great deal. I need to get you involved in that.

Speaker 2:

I would love to.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's a great deal. So I've got Delilah, delilah's, out there, six months old, this beautiful golden doodle with her hair everywhere. And then here's all these attorneys and what have you that have taken their dogs $10,000 training. Dogs and there's Delilah out there just whipping it. I'm out there with my piece of cheese.

Speaker 2:

Just handling her shit.

Speaker 1:

I got me a beer and a piece of cheese and a cheese wrapper and I'm watching this dog just slay the birds and they're like, who trained your dog? And I was like you need a cheese stick, yeah, you need a Kraft cheese stick. Yeah, you need craft american slice does wonders, yeah, but we did. But sure enough, it was christmas morning and, gage, the kids had just gotten to the house and we walked outside and and she walked straight into the shrubs and I look at gage and gage looks at me and she I'm like I said, dalala, what are you doing?

Speaker 1:

and she turned around and fuck, if that eye was fucked up it was totally glazed over in gray and I looked at gauge and gauge and I just both, freaking, lost it, and so we took her back to the, to the center and they said, well, it's, she's, it's glaucoma let me tell you what I've learned from this dog. She has now been completely blind for three doesn't see a fucking thing three, nothing.

Speaker 1:

This dog and I've got goosebumps going down and I'm probably going to lose my shit, but this dog has taught me patience. This dog has taught me, um, that you no matter how bad things can be or, she doesn't know any different. She is Steve. I'll sit out there in water at night and I've got a circle drive and she will sit at the edge of that driveway.

Speaker 2:

She knows exactly where she is.

Speaker 1:

She knows if somebody's coming, if somebody's going, she knows she goes and piddles out front in the front yard. She comes up to the front door. It is like nothing I have ever witnessed in my entire life.

Speaker 2:

I love that you're saying that, because I don't think people learn. I think you can learn from everything, every situation, animals, people everybody. And I think people refuse to see it.

Speaker 1:

This dog. We don't leash her. She goes to the groomer every Wednesday, which is right across the street. She jumps out of the car, walks through the entire maze. They open up the swinging door. She goes into her-.

Speaker 2:

Doesn't hit a thing.

Speaker 1:

Nothing, it is like nothing you've ever seen before and everyone at the groomers, like you would not, I mean. This dog is our inspiration. She has this dog has moved mountains and she is so happy she will talk to you she will. I mean, if you're not paying attention to her, she'll sit right there she doesn't miss a beat. She does not miss a beat and I'm thinking how perspective selfish are we?

Speaker 2:

how selfish are we? You know renee delilah, our daughter, not right um, she was colic and it was one of the hardest. We talked about all that because that was gage, it was I know me, and they talked yeah and then renee and I are inee's and we saw a mom and dad with one of those kids that is stuck in the chair. Yep, the drool, definitely an issue.

Speaker 1:

Yes.

Speaker 2:

And I watched this dad and this mom just be so loving and so patient to this kid that they have to do everything for him, everything for him. And Renee and I just looked at each other like God, we're assholes. You know, colicky it's going to be over, Right. And here we have this beautiful, healthy baby. Yes, Not that that baby's not beautiful.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

But we are so fortunate.

Speaker 1:

Yes. And perspective I was a horrible baby. The dog puts that in perspective, right?

Speaker 2:

Yes, you see, these and that comes with age too is the comfortableness of like hey man, I know life's pretty fucking good yeah. And, by the way, I also know it's over soon, mm-hmm. So lights are out soon, yeah, so I might as well have a good fucking time Seriously. I better use every day with a smile. Seriously, have a good time. I tell jokes for a living. Yeah, what the fuck is the problem?

Speaker 1:

problem right and even sometimes renee, and I will argue, and we'll both stop and be like what?

Speaker 2:

what are we doing? What's the problem? Right, I love you, you love me. Right, you're faithful to me, I'm faithful to you. Yeah, right, what are we there's?

Speaker 1:

nothing wrong with you going to this side of the house and me going to this side of the house or whatever, and let's just breathe and just take a step back right, we're two personalities, two people take a step back, step back it is. It's not going to always vibe. If it always vibes, then there's a problem.

Speaker 2:

I was telling AJ, who produces here at the studio.

Speaker 1:

Yes.

Speaker 2:

I told AJ, I go, man, I go. You ever ask 17-year-old you how proud 17-year-old you would be of you right now Doing what you love. Right 17-year-old Tiffany.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Hey, girlfriend, one one of these days they're going to be coming to you. One of these days they're going to ask you for style.

Speaker 1:

One of these you know these kids that work for me. I tell them all the time I said you know there's. I absolutely love them to pieces and they mean the world to me and I've I've got kids that have been with me for many of years and I've got kids that have moved on, that now have their own children. And in fact I had an SO that was at my place Memorial Day weekend and they pulled through and my kids that work for me came up to the bar area down below and said, hey, mom did you call? And they all call me mom, they all call me gypsy.

Speaker 1:

Mom did you call the SOs? And I was like no, what's going on? And they said, well, they pulled through the middle level and so I walk over there and one of them happens to be a kid that I took care of when he him and his three brothers Still coming to visit and still saying hello, and he's doing his job and he's in the SO and I walked over there and gave him a big old hug and I mean I used to change this child's diapers.

Speaker 2:

He's six foot five, he's, you know I can't believe I forgot to ask this, but go ahead and I gave him a big hug and I said what are you doing?

Speaker 1:

Did you just miss me? What are you doing? What y'all doing over here? I said I didn't call y'all to come and hang out. Are you hungry? Because they usually pull through and come and eat.

Speaker 2:

They know I've got, yes, and they know.

Speaker 1:

I'll cook for them and feed for them. And what have you?

Speaker 1:

And he said and we're trying to find this guy and um which goes to the shit people that come down to our hometown and shit on the river. And that's exactly what they did. And and um, when they had all planned it out, they said the quickest way to find the place is to go to gypsy gypsy river. And so they had pulled through our place. And but I was telling the kids when I got back and I was like, yeah, that's, I used to take care of that baby.

Speaker 2:

I used to be a little chunky monkey, I'm glad you brought it up.

Speaker 1:

You said you're about to be a grandma. I am.

Speaker 2:

What does that feel like?

Speaker 1:

It is the best feeling in the entire. I literally have been begging for this for you know You're like knock this bitch up.

Speaker 2:

You know, I told them.

Speaker 1:

I said look, if y'all are not going to do this, I'm going to take your eggs, I'm going to take your Nemo's, I'm going to put them in the oven. I'm going to make it happen. I'm going to tank this room into the biggest incubator you've ever seen and I'm going to have my own little science project. Yeah, you know it's well. First of all, I've already my whole nursery has been ready at my house.

Speaker 2:

Ready to go?

Speaker 1:

Oh, it's so fresh.

Speaker 2:

Well, it's so weird.

Speaker 1:

It's so cute and so done. And I told him. I said the best thing is I'm not going to have to pack her a bag when she goes to stay with y'all.

Speaker 2:

She's going to be with me. Everything's taken care of, of course. Well, no, because it's funny, because-.

Speaker 1:

I already talked to her.

Speaker 2:

I already phone's on her so she didn't hear my verbiage. Mentally I'm still 20, so when I like, when I you know you're my friend.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, my friend's gonna be a grandma. What the fuck?

Speaker 2:

I'm so excited, but I mean, yes, but there's also that moment of like what the yeah, what the yeah. I mean and I have friends from high school too, where you look at them and you go there's no fucking way, I'm that age.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, you look like shit. What have you been doing, man? I got a good lotion, you should probably try no way, we went to high school together. No fucking way.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, because I don't feel old. But that's also a mentality man, I think a lot of people you know it goes back to renee saying I'm never gonna be too old no you know like I don't love it.

Speaker 1:

You know me, I don't sleep, I don't, I never sleep, it sleep, it is my worst attribute. I love to work, I love to be busy.

Speaker 2:

I love doing things. I know I'm so excited for us to work on this project together and it's something else.

Speaker 1:

We've got some really cool things happening and I can't wait to share it with the world and I think some people wake up every day and go oh well, what am I?

Speaker 2:

we'll find something something, something you know it's like when people always tell me because you know, we have all that property, yeah, people go, oh, I'd love to have property. And my next question to them is is your yard perfect, right? And they go uh, not really, I go, then you don't need property no because if you can't handle the little fucking, yard.

Speaker 1:

If you can't handle your one shrub and your weed, your 14 weeds, you've got then you ain ain't fucking. No, I maintain it's a full on thing. The two acres yes, perfectly yeah.

Speaker 2:

That I have in the HOA Right, and then the nine behind me is perfect. Yeah, every tree, because I'm out there, love to be out there. Same thing with animals.

Speaker 1:

Don't fucking say oh, my God, their last name, their nickname, and if you don't, when I pull through there and and you know, and I have a full-time ranch hand, and thank God, but I tell them, I said look, if you don't recognize the sniffle when they're, they've got a sniffle and it's called the Texas pneumonia and because our weather goes from 60 degrees to 120 degrees, they'll. They'll drop like flies and if you do not know your animals and you're.

Speaker 2:

You got to be on it.

Speaker 1:

You got to pay attention. They're done. You got to be out there every day. You got to be taking care of them.

Speaker 2:

Yes, and that's why I'm slowly, you know, introducing Garrett to the chickens. And it was really cool this morning because he goes. Oh, I go, what's up, buddy? Because I was taking him to camp. Dad, I'm sorry. I didn't check on the chickens yesterday, I'm going to go right now. That's the sense of responsibility.

Speaker 1:

I love that you have such a. I love that the responsibility that you have with Garrett in the way that, because I well, it's like they want the goats that you have right, we're going to do the mini goats. Tomorrow we're doing pictures.

Speaker 2:

And so he gets to pick.

Speaker 1:

I'm telling you, tomorrow we're doing a whole photo shoot. Yes, because there is, and I already know which two are going to your place, and so they are ready, everybody's ready to go.

Speaker 2:

That's what I told Garrett I go. Finally, you are feeling the responsibility.

Speaker 1:

It's so good.

Speaker 2:

It's in him now. You guys have done such a great job with that child Since he's been such a tiny baby. I tell people all the time I go if you you know, because I know what I look like, right, I'm always like this and I'm always I don't know if you noticed, but I, I I did this.

Speaker 1:

You're representing for me. The tank top yes, I did the tank top deal and and nick and I were talking about it and she was like I mean tank tops, and she goes yeah, because there's too much shit that's going to be on the porch for sleeves today.

Speaker 2:

So, yeah, we might as well just like we're gonna air it all out and a lot of times Renee and I get, we get judged right and I always tell people I go. If you want to know the kind of people that me and Renee are, talk to my son. Yeah, talk to my kids yes and when they went everywhere out of their mouth is yes, sir, and no, sir and yes ma'am, it's so good, and no, ma'am, it is so good. Garrett shakes your hand and looks in your eye and.

Speaker 2:

I go, I go there.

Speaker 1:

That's who we are he is very in tune and he's very respectful and, oh my gosh, and you know this too.

Speaker 2:

When it comes to kids, I I get so tired of you. Got a great kid, but you're so hard on him and I'm like motherfucker. That's why I have a great kid well, yeah, because I have high expectations.

Speaker 1:

I don't know if y'all heard the episode about my dad beating, whacking me with a butter knife on my knuckles, but let me tell you what I have never-.

Speaker 2:

Straighten your fucking ass out.

Speaker 1:

You see my elbows on the table. Fuck, no. Straighten your ass out real quick, I will never put my elbows on the table, ever, ever.

Speaker 2:

But it's a lost art. But I mean, is that and it's sad Is?

Speaker 1:

that how I don't know. Maybe, maybe not, and maybe people call me old school or whatever.

Speaker 2:

I teach Garrett the old ways man I go. You never shake a man's hand sitting down.

Speaker 1:

No.

Speaker 2:

And if a woman walks in the room, stand your ass up.

Speaker 1:

And the hat off. Take your hat off and be respectful. Chivalry is not gone.

Speaker 2:

And I teach it to Garrett.

Speaker 1:

It's few and far between, but it is not gone.

Speaker 2:

But people lose their minds. We were at Buttermilk Cafe. I love that place.

Speaker 1:

She was the sweetest woman in the entire world.

Speaker 2:

How there's not five other locations?

Speaker 1:

I don't know Because it's delicious Because it's her, it's just her, and I just want to put her in my back pocket and take her everywhere.

Speaker 2:

I'm glad we brought her up. Buttermilk Cafe yes.

Speaker 1:

Buttermilk Cafe. If you have not gone, worth the wait?

Speaker 2:

Yes, and a family came in with grandma. As soon as grandma walked in the door, garrett got up.

Speaker 1:

And gave her her seat, and gave her the seat and that dad came up to me he goes, is that your son?

Speaker 2:

I go, yeah, he goes. Oh my God, yeah, he goes. Wow, thank you, and I go. Well, I'm standing up too for your wife, because I have been. I mean, renee was fucking eight months pregnant. We're traveling.

Speaker 1:

Yes.

Speaker 2:

Right, we're on a subway in New York City. Not one dude saw my pregnant wife and thought to themselves let me stand up New York City yeah. Let me stand up so that this we're Texas, we do things different. Eight month pregnant woman can sit down. Oh and she was Huge let's. Oh, and she was huge.

Speaker 1:

She was big mad with Delilah. And I told you, I remember her, she was like I can't do this, Tiffany, I cannot do this. And I was like Renee.

Speaker 2:

I was so there. I want to knock her up just for the pregnancy boobs.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Oh my God, her tits.

Speaker 1:

Were fabulous. Oh my God, I know I saw them. I mean not like you saw them, but I saw them, them.

Speaker 2:

Speaker 1:

I'm like going, yeah, I'm like going and then renee just goes.

Speaker 2:

It's creepy, yeah, and I was like what she goes. The way you're staring at my tits right now, yeah, she's. I'm not mad at you, but it's really fucking awkward. But I was like I go this is you're my wife, so I'm never gonna have big tits like this again in my life, so let me enjoy these while they're here fabulous oh my god, pregnancy tits are the best.

Speaker 1:

I swear to god when she when I see her tomorrow, when I drop the goats, I'm gonna be like oh yeah, they're different now. It's okay, though, it's all right, she still got some nice titties, but I mean the pregnancy ones were a whole nother. Oh, there's a whole nother level of nice.

Speaker 2:

But you know, I'm, I'm, I'm proud of of what we've accomplished, and me and Renee together, and that's what a lot of people don't know about me and Renee is that we literally did it together.

Speaker 1:

Yep, we are. We are homies, we are partners. I love that. Um, you guys understand the eat, the sleep, the business, the personal life, the y'all do it all together and it is a whole thing and it's special, not until you figure out how to shut it off and how to to respect your personal life. You're raising your children at the same time, having the children at the same time having the business at the same time.

Speaker 2:

Speaker 1:

She's like I just need me time.

Speaker 2:
