Speaker 1:Yes, yeah, so guess who is on in my she shed today is the OG, captain Evil, the one and the only Captain Evil, and Renee.
Speaker 2:I was going to say people now come up to me and ask me They'll be like we were on a cruise last week. And people come to me and they're like, oh my God are you Captain Evil?
Speaker 1:I was like yeah, they're like. What's your name? Do you have like? A middle name or something. Hi, I'm.
Speaker 2:Renee Nice to meet you.
Speaker 1:So, anyways, steve was on my porch, we had it at my porch, yes, and that was good and that was fun. And so we decided at that point in time that he said, well, you have to come on my podcast, and I said, absolutely I cannot wait. He said, well, you have to come on my podcast, and I said absolutely I cannot wait. And in that perfect moment I said it's going to be so much fun because you and I have always laughed, because so my middle name is Renee. So we've always said, because we're we're both kind of cynical and cocky and fun, and don't forget the fun part, captain medieval.
Speaker 2:Mostly cynical.
Speaker 1:Yeah, exactly Because my middle name is renee and steve goes. Oh shit. And I was like how have you not paid attention to as many times that you and I have had that conversation and I said we are going to roast the fuck out of you and it is going to be so fun and I absolutely cannot wait, so that is going to be a whole, a whole fun episode. So I look forward to that, and so I don't know if we yeah, no, no.
Speaker 2:Well, we'll have to plan it, because you and I both ganging up on him Sounds like a blast.
Speaker 1:Oh, it is going to be so fun and he said I'm going to definitely need a cocktail for that I mean my she shed or on my porch. We always have cocktails and Hampton Water is our sponsor for our podcast and it is absolutely fabulous. I had never tasted it before. What do you think? It's great. So it's, you know, my buddy, bon, mr Jovi.
Speaker 2:So I didn't realize because, like his face isn't on it anywhere on the bottle, his name isn't on it anywhere on the bottle. But I noticed you had a giant Bon Jovi cutout so I wondered what that was about. He's the only set of balls that's ever been in my she shed.
Speaker 1:They're flattened out and made of paper. I don't care. He's right here and I love him. Don't tell me his son is right behind you. That's fine. He's cute too. He's adorbs. I mean, how could you? He looks so yummy and so pretty, yeah, but anyhow, look at me, I'm getting all flustered and things Just talking about Bon Jovi. It's the wine, it's the rosé, yeah. So it's a pretty cool story. You'll have to watch the episode. But Hampton Water is when he would say go get me some pink juice, because he is all about rosé and this is his whole deal, and Jesse, which is his son, would say it's not Hampton water.
Speaker 1:No, it's not pink juice, it's Hampton water because they're from the Hamptons. Yes, it was Hampton, so hence Hampton water.
Speaker 2:Well, I like it because Hampton water just sounds fancy.
Speaker 1:It's so good. Yeah, it's so good yes, yeah cheers, cheers. Thank you for having me, thank you for coming to my she shed. It's so cute, I love it. That's my little sanctuary, my little home away from home. Yeah, my escape goes I don't know if I would want to leave, it's hard to leave. It's very hard to leave.
Speaker 2:You can just like be in here and kick everyone else out. I do, and you're like up in the hill surrounded by trees and nature.
Speaker 1:It's amazing. The donkeys go nuts in the morning and it's the sound off and if you are upset or if you have a bad day and you are out here and you still have it, you need to be in an institution.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because it is. There's something so zen and peaceful about being out here. Oh my gosh, it's amazing, and they can't see it on camera, but you have a ladder, I do. There's a loft above us, yes, and I went and I looked up there and even the bed up there is so cute and it's bigger up there than I thought. Yeah, there's more room up there than I thought. There's a ton of room up there. It's awesome.
Speaker 1:And it's kind of slanted. So on that one side I have an original OG bow and arrow that was handmade and it's a left-handed deal. Yeah, it's super cool, but the bedding up there is better than any bedding. It's beautiful.
Speaker 2:Than any house that.
Speaker 1:I've ever had any bed that I've ever had, even my house. I mean, yeah, I mean it's like the one down comforter that you're like, should I absolutely? I should, it's my she said why shouldn't I? Yeah, how much I know. Yeah, oh, yeah, it's, and you know, I mean you're, you're the, the home yes, I love all that stuff.
Speaker 2:Can I tell you the most awful thing that I did since since we're talking about bedding yeah, okay, I splurged on the most awful thing that I did, since we're talking about bedding yeah, okay, I splurged on the most expensive sheets I've ever bought in my lifetime. I'm such a sheet freak Well, I'm not really, but I was like you know what? I'm a grown ass adult. Now we can have, like, nice sheets. We can do that. What's your thread count? No, which was so stupid because I'm potty training right now. Like why would I buy nice sheets when I'm potty training a three-year-old who comes to my bed every night and pees?
Speaker 1:in it about once a week but um but I have so much I could say about that right now, but I am not going. Oh, are you and your animals? There's probably piss in your bed all the time is it a donkey or a bogey or a huggy size? Five on right now, by the way, yep anyway.
Speaker 2:So I bought sheets from serena and lily which are like love, stupidly overpriced, but beautiful with the blue ribbon trim on them. I forget what happens. The sheets were dirty. I like ripped them off the bed really quick because I had to get them in the machine and wash them and turn the bed over. I don't realize. I've been working in the bed the night before and I had my laptop and my notebook and all that in the bed with me and I just fell asleep with it in there. There also happened to be a pin in there which went in to the washing machine with the most expensive sheets I have ever, ever, and leaked all over them. There's no way you get that out. No, never, there's no way, it's ever coming out.
Speaker 1:I got a solution. Well, first. Okay, this is the perfect time to bring up the word of the day. Oh yes, you guys know about my gif scenario. Renee and I were just talking about it. Renee and I've been friends for a very long time, so she gets me and she gets my whole four-legged friends and my letters and my words. So we were talking about things today and, of course, this one who's got a, a education which is beyond any no, I mean, I don't even know how you know, I don't know whatever it's like, it's a liberal arts degree I didn't have to take a math or science class pickles she's full of shit.
Speaker 1:By the way, this girl was like the valedictorian or whatever it's called, or I don't know, saluted or whatever. She was both of them times 12 of all the things. Anyways, not this girl I was lucky to get. I was the one that was licking the erasers and shit Anyways. So what you had with your sheets is a fluctuation.
Speaker 2:Yes, it sure is, I could blame nobody else except myself for it.
Speaker 1:Well, yeah, and so that is an elevated level of a situation. Yes, you had a yes, and now, if it would have been like a target sheet, you would have had a situation. But because it was the mad daddy. Serena and Lily. Can we talk about their furniture for a minute? It's beautiful. I think that they should maybe give us a phone call or something. Yeah, renee, my middle name is Renee. She's the Renee with the A, I'm the one with the two E's. Yeah, just give us a shout out, serena and Lily.
Speaker 2:Both of you. Can you set a sheet in the mail please? She's got a fluctuation.
Speaker 1:Yeah, exactly, I'm the same size. I know exactly what you're talking about.
Speaker 2:That's so sad that almost makes my eyes leak a little bit yeah, and then, and then I like punished myself by skipping in shitty sheets.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna go with a 150 thread count and just punish myself.
Speaker 2:Clearly I don't deserve to have that she deserve.
Speaker 1:I do not deserve the 600 thread count. Tonight I'm going to have a hormone attack and I'm going to sweat in my own sheets and I'm going to have hot flashes because I deserve them. That's terrible. That almost kind of makes my armpits sweat just thinking about it. That's so bad, but you could tie, dye them, yeah, and just really get. I mean, you could just really funkify your hair.
Speaker 2:That would work for you and you could get a strobe light.
Speaker 1:I mean, now Steve's going to chime right on into this and be like now. Why wasn't I part of that episode One, because we don't want you to be. And two, you'd be the first one that goes straight out and buys a damn disco ball, or?
Speaker 2:some shit.
Speaker 1:Yes, some shit. Yeah, and they have a swing in your corner and no, no, the answer is no. Steve trevino, fucking lutely. No, yeah, no, no. Well, that sucks, yeah, that's but your bed up there is beautiful.
Speaker 2:Thank you, your bed is beautiful it is.
Speaker 1:It is just as comfortable as it is, and every time well, let me tell you so in in my she shed, I purposely did not put a shower in here because I knew I would never go home, and so my husband and I have always had this agreement when we had our murder home or a second home or whatever it was, if there was a discrepancy or what have you, we would never to just run off to the other place to stay, lay your head. Yes, like that was. That was our agreement. Yeah, has it stuck?
Speaker 2:no, I was like I don't know. Sometimes I feel like distance is healthy. It is so good.
Speaker 1:It is so good, and I and I've talked about that before with my girlfriends and what have you? Sometimes we just need to go, put ourselves in a corner and think about our choices. Let me miss you. It has been one of the most, in fact, you guys have heard me talk about uncle becca and my hats and all the things, and one of my hats that I have is let me miss you. Let me miss you. Let me remember why we love each other.
Speaker 2:Let me it's it's okay to take a break, don't you well, not even just that, but if you're a reactionary human, yes, to have the space to chill yourself out, think about it and come back is is really valid and can be very productive rather than forcing yourself to stay in a situation where you're just going to be destructive Right and where you're going to say things that you regret where you're going to throw things that you don't want to throw.
Speaker 2:Yeah I mean, well, and look, I, I'd like to say that I'm not reactionary, that I'm a more evolved human being, but yeah, sometimes I flip a lid. Oh, and it would be better if I just walked away exactly then, dealed with what was happening.
Speaker 1:Dealt with what was happening in front of me I have thrown a very, very nice wine glass and thought what in the fuck were you thinking then, yeah, yeah. And then I mean, really, that was what you, that that's what you chose to do. That was so stupid. So, yeah, walking away and and so, but I purposely did not put a shower in here. So, um, during the summer months, as you know, I've got my resort and I do a lot of babysitting, which drunk two year olds is kind of. It needs to be on my resume. And so I would come up here because my place is literally across the street from my, from my resort, and it is hot and I sweat a shit ton, so I take my water hose right out because I have a little white picket fence.
Speaker 2:Yes, we'll get some pics and some snippets of my she shed so you guys can see it, but yeah, so you need to put an outdoor shower is what you need to do, and I have got it already designed and ready and I was like, well, that was the dumbest thing I ever did was to not put a shower in my she shed.
Speaker 1:So now I'm out there like the little two-year-old that ran around with inner panties, with no clothes on, with no shoes, because I still run around with no shoes on.
Speaker 2:But there's no one here but the animals. We're surrounded by beautiful animals.
Speaker 1:And I'm just water hosing it up. And I bathe strip naked and I walk right in my door naked. I go up my ladder naked, which swings, by the way.
Speaker 2:It's like a library ladder that I built.
Speaker 1:It's my nephew and I just crawl up into my fabulous bed up there. Yeah, it is so. It's so rewarding, yes me, just just me yeah, it's so good, but I did not. I did not put a shower in here, and so now I, uh, I stand outside with the water hose naked, so hence you're exactly so the address for this location.
Speaker 2:I'm dropping a pin for this location in the comments thanks, renee.
Speaker 1:Perfect, can't wait for a slumber when everybody shows up. We'll have plenty of hampton water when you guys get here, just letting you know. Yes, but you have at your house. Um, let's talk about your cute little shed, my cute little shed yes, your little. They're the little one on the side of the house. Oh, we have a little casita yes, yeah, we have a little casita, yeah, so it it is.
Speaker 2:It was a. It was a.
Speaker 1:It was when we bought the house it was kind of the ice or it was kind of like one of those little cabin kit homes like a true I think it's called true shit, yeah, yeah, probably like at home depot, and then they've got them in the parking lot and you buy them and they bring it and they dump it at your house.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's pretty much what it was when we bought the house. Yeah, and there was, like, um, one of those plastic like kind of rv showers inside it and a toilet, yep, um, and there was a little kitchen sink with some cabinets, but that was it and it worked. But when family came to visit, no one really wanted to stay out there. Yeah, it was kind of awful.
Speaker 1:And it's nice when family comes, but it's also nice to put them out in the shed. Yeah.
Speaker 2:I love you, but look, or if you're not there and people want to like, come stay, you can offer them a place if they need a place to stay, without giving them access to your entire home, right? Um? So we had a flood over the holidays pipe burst and we were like, oh okay, I guess we're gonna yeah I guess we're gonna do this, yeah, but I'm glad we did.
Speaker 1:I'm glad the pipes burst because we had to spend the money and do it that's exactly what I said when I had we had the flood in our beach house and, um, I may have mentioned this before and I and I don't know if you and I even had this conversation but, um, so we had just purchased our new boat and to us it was new, it was used, yeah, but and then we were selling our other boat and so, um, because of my background and my history and Jeremy's, like no, you go to Houston and you go look at the boat, make sure it's everything that it's supposed to be blah, blah, blah and you go talk to this guy.
Speaker 1:So I leave, go to Houston to go buy our boat, and Jeremy goes to the beach house to go sell our other boat, and he opens up the door and our entire second level is on the floor, entire, I'm talking. There was a mound of sheet rock that looked like we were about to build a same castle, because it was gray and and it was cute, and he's flipping shit, he. And he's not god loving, but he is not the, he's not the person, he's not the one with the tool belt, that's me. He's not the one with the tools, he's not nope. And so I'm telling I might like, look, go shut the water off. Um, he's, and I'm navigating him exactly walking through what he should be doing because we have two separate garages.
Speaker 1:And so you go through right where the stairwell is and I'm telling you, you got to go in the back side. So the guy pulls up into our driveway and he can hear jeremy screaming in the backyard. You know, because it's and everything is fenced, so you know, so they can't see him. He's just screaming fuck this, fuck. I don't know what the fuck. There's water and water spraying everywhere and I'm like, oh, it was like an active leak it was still leaking, like I mean because you know we don't live there, so yeah, he walked into.
Speaker 1:Oh, it was still leaking, Like I mean, because you know we don't live there. So yeah, he walked into a fucktuation.
Speaker 1:This was not a shit-tuation, this was a whole new level. And I'm telling and he's screaming and he says the guy was like hey, man, are you? Are you over the fence Like the little people? Uh-huh, are you talking to me? And he was like, no, I'm so sorry. He said I just opened up the door and my entire floor and my house. He was like do you know anything about houses? And the guy was like, yeah, actually I'm a contractor. And he was like bro, can you show me how to turn the water off? My wife was trying to explain to me how to turn the water off and I don't know what I'm doing. Like, yeah, so he turns the water off and I tell jerry, I said look relax, just go sell the boat because I've already hooked.
Speaker 1:oh, I thought you're like just go sell the house and the house, fuck it all, we're moving, put us out for sale by owner. So he, I said, go get in the boat, go down down to market there, go get a six pack, y'all, just cruise along, just moose frobby, y'all. Just go in and just sell the boat, because I've already written, I've already paid for this one, we're about to have a situation, financial situation if we don't. And so we did and everything and everything worked out. But my response to him was I didn't like that kitchen anyways. He was like you're the only person, and now it's you which is why we have Captain.
Speaker 2:Evil and Captain Medieval, Because we both it's not so bad.
Speaker 1:The pipes first. Whatever the whole second level is in your kitchen, it doesn't matter. You've already got whole second level is in your kitchen, it doesn't matter. Well, you've already got the tile picked out in your head. Yeah, totally, and we need the. This is going to have to be raised. I want this to be wider because my son is six foot seven.
Speaker 1:He doesn't fit through these tiny little deals. And I like to talk to people when I'm cooking and you know I love to cook. And so I was like, yeah, this needs to be wider. And yeah, three contractors later they're like, no, we can't do this. And I was like next and next. And you're not going to tell me, no, I will do it myself, but I don't have time to do it. And then boom, your dad comes in and saves the whole day. Your dad and your brother comes in and saves the whole day.
Speaker 2:And yes, and so, but it was, but I didn't realize how bad it was, and you know what it was.
Speaker 1:It was the Mind you. We had just made Our first mortgage payment. It was like four weeks later. Oh no, Welcome home. Yeah, it's not how it was. So what was it? There was a bidet in the guest bathroom upstairs and it wasn't like one of those that comes with the turtleneck.
Speaker 2:Yes, it's the one you add on after the fact. Yes, steve has it. Delilah left it. On the other day my entire bathroom was sprayed with water.
Speaker 1:Okay Well my entire second level was in the entryway. I'm just letting you know you might want to take that out before you have a fluctuation. So it's it's really bad and it's very expensive. It's a very expensive ordeal so it got left on or running it was.
Speaker 1:We weren't there and apparently it was running. I don't know if it has something to do with the float on the back of the I don't know right how it works, sure, but it had to have been going on for a long minute because to sink the entire second floor, I mean it was literally from the entrance, my entire kitchen midway, because the way that the floor goes it's kind of like my she shed is so it would literally be. If this entire level, except for that piece over there, didn't come down, I'm telling you, renee, the mound of sheet rock would have touched the ceiling right now and it was probably as wide, if not wider, than the she shed. It was so bad and I just shut the door and go sell the boat. I didn't like the kitchen anyways and he was like what is wrong with you? What is wrong with you? And I was like, well, I mean, you know there's insurance for that, right.
Speaker 1:It was so ugly, it was like it had a random shape and I don't even have an island in there now. I took it completely out. I told your brother and I was like no, cap that off. I don't know now I trip over the little thing. All the time. I was like can we have recessed this in, because you know I'm so freaking clumsy, I don't need any help falling. Yeah, I just trip over the damn thing all the time. But but it's so, it's.
Speaker 2:It's so much way better kind of like I mean when I walked into your little casita holy pickles, it is so precious.
Speaker 1:I love your style. It was fun, isn't that fun? Yeah, I love to do. I love to do fun to have a little project. Yeah, I always have a project.
Speaker 2:What you do too yes, well, no, actually I decided this summer. I said no projects this summer.
Speaker 1:Well, my kiddos your kids are.
Speaker 2:Yes, I mean my kids are three and eight, and my three-year-old is a very precocious three-year-old. I feel like I'm very much in the thick of motherhood at the moment. So, I don't have much of a social life, I don't have much free time, but I decided this summer, especially because this last year was so crazy we filmed Steve's special, we premiered the Netflix special. I directed that and it was a lot.
Speaker 2:It was amazing, but it was a lot, and so I just decided that this summer I was just going to focus on the kids and not take on any projects, but I also like constantly have to remind myself that that's a choice I made and that I'm okay with it, because then I have moments where I'm like I don't know if I'm okay with this.
Speaker 1:I don't know if I'm I with this?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't know if I'm. I know, I don't know if this makes me happy. I don't know if I like this. Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1:You know, like when I, when I sit with the fact that I don't have a project, that I get a little anxious, I do, I do the same thing, but and there's times with me where I have and I lose my vibe and I just have to back up and set them aside but it's like other random work projects, we're not like home projects where you're sitting there and you're looking at it and you're it's picking at you.
Speaker 1:And you're cussing at each other and you're both giving each other the evil eye. Like your sheets are with you, you and your sheets, like y'all, are having a love-hate relationship. Yeah, but like at my resort, like I'm building a house out of a little tiny bus down there right now and it's it's. I've got to have somebody in there to help me because I can't do it all Right. And that I walk in there and I'm like, well, it really wasn't, really wasn't what I was talking about, so I'm just going to go ahead and finish that out myself, and then I lose my vibe and then I mad, and then I have to walk away and be like okay, nope, I'm not feeling it?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't feel. Do you feel that way Sometimes, where you just kind of I I am, I take a long time to make a decision. So I feel like I'm much more calculated and way more land in the way I approach things and approach a project Right, and I think maybe that's why I also have to tell myself like I'm not taking anything else on, because I become very consumed by whatever it is Right, yeah, and I'm completely opposite, yeah.
Speaker 1:So like I walk in and go, got it. I need everybody to leave me alone for about 30 minutes. Tell me what you're looking for, tell me what you want yes, and then I can throw it together. Or if I don't feel the vibe, then I will go home and I will process it, and then I'm going to shoot you a text about 3 am and I'm like got it, yeah, I got it, this is exactly how we're gonna do it. And then boom, boom, boom. But when I run into and it could in, sometimes it's not even about the project, sometimes it's just, it's just me, like I just what's going on in?
Speaker 2:your life at the moment could be.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and it's just where I'm not feeling it. I need to step away from it and then, when it, when I'm ready to get back in it, it's like holy shit, she is on freaking. What is she on today? Yeah the kids got so mad at me the other day at the resort. I was down there and it was slow and I was bored and I was. We've got radios and I'm radioing them. They're like oh my, she's on, she's what is?
Speaker 1:wrong with her today and I was just. I was like we're gonna do this, we're gonna do that, and then we're gonna do this, and then I want to change this and I want this color to be this yeah, and they were like let's make it happen.
Speaker 1:Somebody's like yeah we need to find her something to do. She is going to drive us insane today and I was like, why are y'all moving so slow? What is wrong with y'all today? But I'm either I'm either 100 I mean just balls to the walls or I'm like, yeah, no, yeah, not today, not today, we're gonna go sit by the frog pond, we're going to teach our goat how to swim. We're gonna do something totally different. But it's either all in or but I do I, and I think that's a battle with myself. It's a one on one deal.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean Steve and I talk about all the time. We are such different people. How we approach our work is very, very different, and it's taken us a long time to see the value in how each of us works as opposed to why aren't you working Like, why aren't you doing?
Speaker 1:it this way Like I am Right, yeah, right, yeah right we spent.
Speaker 2:We wasted a lot of time arguing over why aren't you doing it this way? And, after living together and seeing being together, living a life together, creating a life together, yes, we've found the value in how sometimes I do things, what that brings to the table, and the value in how he does. While the logic might not make sense to me, god forbid it should you know. I'm just saying, but you know what it creates it brings to the table too, and so sort of respecting that yeah, and that's that is.
Speaker 1:That goes to opinions, that goes to so many people, I mean even with jerry, and I is like well, that's that's your opinion. Yeah, well, I wouldn't, I would have never, I wouldn't have said that or I would have never have done that, or, but that's that's okay, everybody everybody's create.
Speaker 2:You know everyone the way they explore their creativity is different.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's, or the way they approach.
Speaker 2:Entrepreneurship is different, exactly you know yeah, that's a full-on.
Speaker 1:That's a full-on thing. And you and steve are so polar opposite. I mean like but and I've been, we've, we've had family trips together, We've done so many things, but it is, it is so cute to watch you put his, his ass in check. I freaking love it, One of the very first times when I really saw the whole, because I mean it's, it's not our business to understand how it works. Nobody, nobody really knows nobody.
Speaker 2:You look at us and you're like how the fuck does this work? What in?
Speaker 1:the fuck is actually going on. Renee, you got a fluctuation, yeah, and it's your husband and your marriage, and I'm very concerned about this whole thing. We should you should come to my shisha and we should talk about it and have some handsome water or something, I don't know. Throw that out there. No, but seriously, that was when we were at the redlands ranch and we're all staying in a little casita oh, that's right, yeah, yeah yeah, y'all threw me up on the rooftop of this. It was like a mat and I was like wait what I don't even get, like a.
Speaker 1:Can you hand me a towel they don't come with? Like a, yeah, a mattress, it's fine, everything's fine, it's fine. But yeah, and and steve running around being steve in the golf cart and going and you and I going, the is really going on here, like what is happening and that's when I saw you really like get the.
Speaker 2:I said this is how we're going to.
Speaker 1:This is exactly how this is gonna happen. I was like, oh, look at my girl. Girl, that's so cute, it's like a proud mom moment. I was like, oh, I love you. He was like, okay, yep, nope, I'll be a break on the way with the golf cart right now. I will be right back. I will never leave you and tiffany again alone by yourselves again. And oh, garrett wants to drive. Absolutely, he can drive that golf cart. You and in fact I'll walk that will just walk the rest of the way. You damn right, you will think about your choices exactly. Oh, that was so cute, that was a good time, it's funny that's such a beautiful place if you've ever been.
Speaker 2:Tiffany's talking about Loretta Lynn's ranch. She's no longer with us. She's passed but yes, the ranch still functions. The museum that they have built that houses all her memorabilia, her bus Look at my leg hair Her home, and we haven't been in a long time but I heard that again there's the original home. Um, that's in the movie coal miner daughter that everyone remembers that they would give tours of that.
Speaker 1:But now they're going to turn her actual home too, that she lived in here at the end and that's going to become a part of the tour and the museum as well, I believe I believe we need to visit, that we need to revisit, go back, we need to go, we need to go do that again. Yeah, because that was so much fun.
Speaker 2:Someone told me and we never tried it, so there's not much there. It's Hurricane Mills, Tennessee, right, and there's basically like a truck stop when you exit, and then Loretta's property is the whole town of Hurricane Mills. I don't remember how big that property was. There's a little post office on her property, that's it.
Speaker 1:I still have the videos of the um because I want to put a water, uh, you know.
Speaker 2:Yes, the water wheel. What do you call it?
Speaker 1:yes, yeah, yes, exactly where my grotto is on the property to bring, because we have a natural grotto. Oh, that's amazing. Oh and so, and I did, and I took pictures of the whole thing when we were there and did that. So just for an example of what have you, but, yeah, how you can do it. Yeah, oh my gosh, it's so picturesque and so the ambiance, the the way that they have, like you're saying, the way they have everything I just thought they did.
Speaker 1:I mean, I've never been to dollywood, or um, I've never been to graceland, so I guess I really don't have anything to compare it to, but yeah I just thought they did such a beautiful job with paying they to her and keeping track of all her stuff, you know, yeah it was phenomenal and the way that they had everything set up for her when she because she was with us at the time when I loved how they respected her privacy. I mean remember when we were in her dressing room and the way that they brought her up, because it was just the whole thing. Yeah, because aging is clear, it's all part of life and and, and we're not going to be here forever, it's just that. It is what it is, and so, but the way that they honored and respected her and and then when she was on stage, I was literally y'all. I had snot and boogers and tears and I was a bawling hysterically. We were all up there singing with her and, yeah, family, and that's a crazy moment.
Speaker 1:I was so beautiful, crazy, so beautiful yeah, steve talks about it all the time. He's just like that was.
Speaker 2:That's one of his. Still have her cookbook life highlight oh, me too.
Speaker 1:I mean that woman has been an inspiration for me my entire life. Yeah, and crystal gale. I don't know if I mean.
Speaker 1:I mean, oh my gosh, it's just so many people don't know that they're related. Yeah and yeah, she played at the theater here in town, at the brontex she did and oh my goodness, it was absolutely phenomenal. And that was when she really kind of I mean you could, you could just feel there and you could hear the when she walked out, when she, when she told everybody most of you people- just don't know.
Speaker 1:Really yeah, and all of New Braunfels, and of course there's me singing every single song and every single cause. That was what I grew up to and it's still such a huge part of my life. I remember as a child we had, um, I mean, which is so crazy, because everybody's radios are the size of my little pair right here, your little Bluetooth and what have you. Now, in our house we had a, our radio, which was not even really a radio, it was our record player. Yes, was literally the size of most people's dressers in their children's room, you know, huge dresser. And I remember playing, playing the records, and just that was my, my go-to for everything. And, yeah, blue Bayou, and oh my gosh, yes. And so when I got to go see her at the theater, and it was just did you come from a musical family?
Speaker 1:Cause you have such a love of music. I have such a love for music. And no, I'm just a born and raised from New Braunfels and smack dab right in the middle of it. I mean, you know George Strait was was our guy here and we had the crystal chandelier and you know he teach at Canyon High School and and yeah, so so many people me growing up. Of course I was New Braunfels and George was not not my teacher, but I'm still haven't gotten over that. But it's fine, everything is fine. I didn't know that about him.
Speaker 1:Yes, yeah, I did not know that about him yeah, yep, his sound guy is one of the very seniors, literally like family to us and the whole family and the whole crew and yeah.
Speaker 1:So, but that's where it comes from, yeah, the whole, yeah, and just the love for good old hank williams and just the good old george jones and conway twitty, and we would go to the rodeos all the time and go see, I can't. I mean just, that was just, it was good, it was good, but that's where that all kind of came from. And then you got green hall right here and yeah, yeah, one of my best friends I grew up with and we still talk every single day and he's been the sound engineer for green since we were kids and built the Willie window that they have at Green Hall and so, yeah, it's just a huge part of our little.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that is. That is one thing that's really cool. Is that New Braunfels? I mean, it's grown a lot now, but so small, and then it had a place like Green Hall. That was so historic that big acts wanted to come to.
Speaker 1:Because I don't know if you guys know Renee's not. You're not a local.
Speaker 2:I am not, you're not. Well, I'm from Texas, you are, but not from New Braunfels, right.
Speaker 1:But yeah, but you guys, y'all did the whole Cali thing for a long time actually it was.
Speaker 2:We rented. Steve had a cousin who was getting married, um, in somewhere here off river road I can't remember where it was now, so many years ago. But we decided we were going to get an rv and drive it from california to here and you had gypsy river, just the resort I mean it was like had just gotten it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I guess I didn't realize that. But steve was like had just gotten in. Yeah, I guess I didn't realize that.
Speaker 2:But Steve was like I know someone who has a resort. I think it's kind of close to where the wedding is. We can park the RV there, we can stay and let's like see if we like it there. Because we'd always said that like once we started a family, we wanted to come back to Texas. Ideally, we didn't want and so we did. We drove here, we stayed at your place and we like hung out downtown New Braunfels and it had this cute like it did have an artsy energy to it, because that was my thing is. I was like I've lived in New York, I'd lived in LA and I was like I knew you guys had spent time in New York and I knew you had spent time in Cali, but I really didn't realize that you were wanting, like the the little hometown kind of, because at that time we were still little hometown.
Speaker 2:Yeah Well, I didn't necessarily. I'd gotten used to living in a city and I was not ready to leave, and that's not a tiny city.
Speaker 1:You're talking about the cities of all cities. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You couldn't get any more city slicker than where you were at.
Speaker 2:I was scared about leaving. It was the whole.
Speaker 1:Pace Picante sauce. Deal Like I mean come on now, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:I was definitely scared about leaving, but I remember I got pregnant with Garrett and we lived a few blocks from a target. I went to the target, tried to buy maternity clothes and they're like oh, we don't sell maternity clothes at this target. What?
Speaker 1:and I was like what does it sell maternity?
Speaker 2:clothes. Why?
Speaker 1:is this target broken?
Speaker 2:clearly women making babies are not welcome here, aisle 12.
Speaker 1:Your baby's ready, aisle 12. Yeah, I mean, go ahead and pick it up, no clothes needed, just grab it oh, I think this is aisle 11 babies on 12 go ahead.
Speaker 2:I think this is a sign that maybe it's not the ideal place to raise a child here's your sign.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you're welcome.
Speaker 2:So then I was like okay, you know um, and we weren't sure if it was gonna work. But we came here, we stayed at gypsy river it's so beautiful out here and we were like okay, I think maybe we can, maybe we can do this, yeah, yeah I love that.
Speaker 1:I love that and I really love that steve runs around in his lawnmower, in his boots and his I mean, because that's that's respect for me.
Speaker 1:I'm like I'm so proud of you did his little recording the other day and he had grass in his little neck rolls and I was like hell, yeah, I made me so felt right at home. It's like, like you know, you don't see that you regularly have to clean your ass out of Necro. Yeah, you need a wipey, you need to make sure you miss a spot. Yeah, you need to change your angles when you're in there. Jesus, come on, miss Dora, teach them. You still got to teach them things.
Speaker 1:But, yeah, it's so cute and I love that. The kids love being outdoors and that they're. You know, because you can't. It's a totally different. Yeah, you either like it or you don't. You can either get that you're going to have some scorpions or you're going to have some spiders, or you're going to have Did you just say scorpions? I did. I mean I maybe should put that on. I was going to say, right next to my turt you may have scurpy and in your turlet, I don't know, but that's what you're going to have. That's going to happen in my she shed. It's going to happen in your place, because you do live out in the country.
Speaker 2:Someone just asked me yesterday why I didn't like. They were like did you take classes? Because you don't have an accent? Like what is that? And I was like yeah, I was like I was a theater major, so I had to take accent reduction classes.
Speaker 1:I said, fixin yeah, but a scorpion a scorpion, yeah. I'm gonna ask a. I mean, yeah, er, I told you my degree does not look like mine. Stopped at kindergarten. Yeah, I was the one that was licking the yeah, the glue and eating the crowns and all that kind of nonsense they don't taste bad, but it's yeah, they need you, survived they. Hey look, I'm here. No, I'm here in my she said, my little goat sitting right here with her um, the goat has been staring in one direction while we've been talking.
Speaker 2:I'm a little concerned.
Speaker 1:She was so lively that stool wasn't there last week. She's trying to figure out who put it there and why it's still there and if we invited it.
Speaker 2:You got to pick up the goat and let people see that there's a goat in a diaper.
Speaker 1:Everybody. Let me try to get her under the microphone. Oh she's so sweet. There's her little.
Speaker 2:Tiff was just telling me because, um, I think I'm going home with two goats too, so your babies have been ready for goats, for a long time you were telling me all about life jackets on a goat.
Speaker 1:Well, so this is her name, is holstein steiner foy and yeah, we call her steiner and she, um, is a dwarf pygmy, nigerian. See through blue eyes. I don't know if you can see, see through blue eyes all my babies have. This is my fourth, fourth generation of my, my goat breeding and they're super, super tiny and they have super, super long hair. We're with all of my vets they're so soft I know it's because I condition them. I'm sure you do I'm happy they're not.
Speaker 1:I don't wash my nonsense here. Clearly we've had this conversation before. Y'all have seen the good, bad and the ugly of my hair. But my goats look good, so do my horses, or my donkeys and my camels and everything else. But but, yes, um, but she's got her little diapy on. So I took her home last saturday and, um, she went straight in the pool and I was like, well, okay, we, now we have a situation. So I got on amazon and because I didn't have that size, which is so crazy- what do you search, goat?
Speaker 1:yeah, no, float, I was sitting there talking to nick and you guys heard me mention it and I'm thinking I said what size do you think she is like? Maybe a schnauzer or something? Do you think she's like a mini schnauz? What are we, what? What should we? Uh, what should we? And so and then when you go, you have to measure their girth, which is around the belly area the rib area and what have you.
Speaker 1:and so I'm like well, hold up your hands, because I'm in the pool and I'm not going to get out right now because I just made me a fresh cocktail. So I'm not going to really measure it, so we're going to pretend measure.
Speaker 2:So yeah.
Speaker 1:So I got her a little. It's tie dyed. It's very cute. I will.
Speaker 2:Oh, you buy a dog life jacket, you do. Ok, you're going to have to send me the Amazon link.
Speaker 1:You have a. You have a frog pond, just like I do, and your goats are going to want to go in there, and I know delilah is going to be the first one that puts her little goat in a, in a yeah, in the floaty and as the whole, yeah yeah, and they like it so it's fine, so it's good. They love to hear their tippy taps on their, on their, anything. So wait.
Speaker 2:So then am I now also buying cool diapers for my goat some pull-ups if you want to.
Speaker 1:I mean, their little piddles are easy, they don't stink at all.
Speaker 2:That's what I'm concerned about. I'm like I'm getting one out of diapers just to get two goats in diapers.
Speaker 1:Don't throw any leftovers that you have away. Save your swimmers, your little Nope, they don't. They're little tiny little pellets, and and they don't, but she's, she has done so good, she, um. I only diaper when she's in the house and, of course, when she's outside, but, um, they don't have any control over their bowels, so they just there's no potty training a goat piddling. You are not potty training, but yeah, yeah so. But their house training their boobs, they, they just walk and they just say piddling and boops, uh-huh. Okay, that's part of it.
Speaker 2:I'm just making sure I'm following.
Speaker 1:That's episode one and two, yeah, of the Gypsy Mary. I don't know what page it is yet, it's still in production, but yes, but yeah. So they just they, you know, they, you know, when you you've heard, and I'm sure, and if steve has not put a snippet in one of his deals, he needs to have a snippet about walking shit. So, because it's a thing, I mean, I've not personally experienced, it.
Speaker 2:Well, that explains one of the stains on the underwear yup that now that's a situation.
Speaker 1:But goats have the walking shit, so they just walk and shit, walk and shit, walk and shit. But you can train them to piddle in the grass. And she is doing amazing. Yeah, the minute she hits the grass she piddles. How do you teach them to do that? I don't know. I don't know. I can teach an alpaca how to. I can potty train an alpaca in a couple of hours.
Speaker 2:What can teach an alpaca how to? I can pit potty train an alpaca in a couple of hours.
Speaker 1:What I know, I don't know. It's okay, that's an episode. I may have to come spend some time with delilah.
Speaker 2:She needs her tia yeah, tia gypsy yeah exactly.
Speaker 1:Yep, yep, yeah, it's crazy, but yeah, she's doing amazing with her piddling, but yeah, there's no, there's no control in the boobs. The boobs, just it's the walking shits, it's a whole, it's a whole thing and there's not just one. They come out by the like a rabbit. Oh yeah, I mean they just confetti all over the floor. I mean, are you done?
Speaker 1:where did all of that come from? Yeah, but it's, it's very easy, it's a very easy cleanup. There's no smell, there's no nothing. Okay, that's a really. Yeah, it's just like pill bugs all over the you know what.
Speaker 2:Really please yeah, yeah, delilah's been collecting them, actually, girl, so I've got those all over my floor already see. So now you're I just have to explain to delilah the difference.
Speaker 1:So she's not picking up, so she's not sitting there rolling them yeah no, got it fine. I can't wait to hear the names yes of what they're going to name their babies and I can't wait for the episodes and the pictures and the. It's going to be so fun, it's.
