1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,280
Well, good morning, good morning and welcome to Around the House this morning.

2
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:13,400
I hope you're having a beautiful day outside around your house.

3
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:18,480
If you have not peeked out through the blinds, it is beautiful.

4
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,360
Absolutely gorgeous morning out there this morning.

5
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,080
Hey, my name is Scott Brokeamp.

6
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:27,640
I am founder and co-owner of his security and technology here locally owned in Knoxville,

7
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:28,640
Tennessee.

8
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,160
And, well, I think you can figure that out.

9
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:35,880
We do a little bit of security and, and focus on technology.

10
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,680
Weather forecast today is well orange.

11
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,680
What do you think about that Riley orange?

12
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,080
I don't know about y'all, but man, I'm Lady Falls.

13
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:47,080
Whoo.

14
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:51,040
I think the orange cast is very warranted.

15
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:57,520
I, uh, man, our men took Kentucky down last night for the opener.

16
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:05,040
The Vols playing in the SEC championship game today, three o'clock on ESPN.

17
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,480
And, uh, well, we'll see if we get some more Kiki bombs.

18
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:15,120
Uh, Larry Boutet boosted us in that opening first inning.

19
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:21,720
So, uh, lot to do today, by the way, other than of course, watch softball at three o'clock

20
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,720
and men's baseball.

21
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,480
Uh, you, you know, uh, it's such a good day.

22
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:28,880
A gorgeous day today.

23
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,680
I just want you to know that if you haven't seen it peek out the window.

24
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:39,080
I love driving into the studio, the studio this morning, sunrise, sun was coming up.

25
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,320
Just beautiful, little misty.

26
00:01:41,320 --> 00:01:45,200
It was just, uh, uh, I mean, it's just gorgeous.

27
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:46,200
Absolutely gorgeous.

28
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,240
Anyway, onwards we go.

29
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,320
Uh, some other things happen around town this weekend.

30
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:57,080
The Vestal community is hosting its neighborhood arts and music festival at the historic Pandora

31
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:58,560
marble company.

32
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,160
It's a free event and it runs from noon to five today.

33
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,880
So head over to South Knoxville this afternoon and pick up something for mother's day at

34
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,080
Vestal.

35
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,800
You can also find handcrafted items for sale at the spring marketplace at the historic

36
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,000
Ramsey house.

37
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,240
The market runs from 10 to four today.

38
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,480
There will be plenty of gift ideas on display.

39
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:25,040
And of course, the men's baseball team hosts Kentucky Wildcats at noon today at Lindsey

40
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,040
Nelson stadium.

41
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,760
The game will be on the SEC network and you can listen to John Wilkerson's play by play

42
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:35,880
on our sister station, WNML, the sports animal 99.1.

43
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:42,520
For more information on all events happening around town today, go to visit Knoxville.com.

44
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,720
That's visit Knoxville.com.

45
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:52,360
Well, I'm sure y'all are well prepared for this weekend.

46
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:57,040
And I'm not really sure how we only end up with one special day to honor mothers and

47
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,640
fathers.

48
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:05,080
But this Sunday is a very, very special day for me in particular.

49
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:11,200
My mother and I have a great relationship and well, I'm one of those fortunate fellows

50
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,360
that was raised by a single mom for many years in life.

51
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:19,040
So I tell our customers all the time, I was raised by a single mom.

52
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,360
So when we look at things, we look at things in a aesthetically appealing view, right?

53
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,920
They have to look good.

54
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:32,800
But other than Mother's Day today or tomorrow, there is today is the national day of some

55
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,200
really crazy and bizarre things.

56
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,800
And I'm just going to go through a list of a few of these because some of them really

57
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:40,800
speak to me.

58
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:47,960
I just want you to know, by the way, just so you all know, Riley and I are just going

59
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:53,480
to, we're going to share with you about special moments of some of these crazy days.

60
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:59,120
And then we're going to talk to you about Mother's Day because I'm just going to tell

61
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:07,320
you, as a proud dad of two beautifully young girls, as many of you know, I'm very passionate

62
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,760
about empowering women.

63
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:17,040
I feel, you know, we are a proud supporter of our Lady of All Booster Club.

64
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:27,160
And I just feel as though empowering and inspiring women is huge for us in these times.

65
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:32,680
And quite frankly, I was raised by a strong woman and I'm married to a strong woman.

66
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:33,880
And I think it's important.

67
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,400
So we're going to talk about that stuff this morning.

68
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,080
But first, let's have some fun.

69
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,240
Let's do it.

70
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:47,360
So this one again speaks near and dear to my heart, National Miniature Golf Day.

71
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:48,880
Oh, yeah.

72
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,840
I love some mini golf.

73
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:54,680
I remember years ago, I had a good buddy of mine.

74
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:55,800
He was a golfer.

75
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,280
I was not.

76
00:04:57,280 --> 00:04:59,040
And I go play now.

77
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:00,240
I'm still not a golfer.

78
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,640
I'm a hack, but hey, it is what it is.

79
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,760
But we would literally, we would go and have mini golf tournaments.

80
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,960
Oh, I mean, that sounds incredible.

81
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,160
I'm going to tell you, I can putt.

82
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:11,160
Oh, yeah.

83
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:12,160
I can putt, baby.

84
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,560
Can't do the other stuff but putting, that's another thing.

85
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,600
You know, I get a shot or two around, but I can putt.

86
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,240
Where do you do you still play?

87
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:20,600
Have you played in a while?

88
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,400
I have not played quite yet recently.

89
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,840
I usually have the opportunity to play a few times a year.

90
00:05:28,840 --> 00:05:33,800
And one of those is coming up the Home Builders Association annual golf tournament.

91
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,400
It's a huge event really for me.

92
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:37,400
Where is that?

93
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,080
It'll be at a Guani, Guani Farms.

94
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,360
But my father comes up from Florida to come play.

95
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:52,000
And this has been a kind of a standoff event for a few of us guys for going on about seven

96
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,000
years now.

97
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Oh, wow.

98
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,680
So I'm looking forward to that.

99
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,040
Do you take your girls to pot play at all?

100
00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,040
Have you taken them?

101
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,040
We do.

102
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,040
We do.

103
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,080
You know, and my two girls, they're different girls, right?

104
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,080
Of course.

105
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,080
Of course.

106
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,760
She's a very competitive and loves it.

107
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,720
And she's okay if she doesn't get a good score.

108
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:13,720
One of them.

109
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:14,720
She's there to have some fun.

110
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:15,720
One of them, not so much.

111
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,400
If she's not getting a good score, it's not a good run.

112
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:20,400
Disappointing.

113
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:21,400
You know.

114
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,920
One of the places that I have been to with my girlfriend that you should take them, there's

115
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,840
just one at Pitch and Forge.

116
00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:28,400
It is a candy course.

117
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:29,400
I forget.

118
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:30,400
Yes.

119
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:31,400
Have you all been there?

120
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:32,400
Yes.

121
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:33,400
Love that place.

122
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:34,400
The indoor-outdoor?

123
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:35,400
Yes, the indoor-outdoor.

124
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,280
That's awesome.

125
00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:42,240
That is, it is really, it is just really.

126
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:47,440
Now the classic is the old McDonald one by the Tanger malls.

127
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:48,440
Oh, yeah.

128
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:49,440
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

129
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:50,440
That's the classic.

130
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:51,880
It is the classic.

131
00:06:51,880 --> 00:07:00,200
I will tell you, when I lived in Illinois and used to partake in our championship putt-putt

132
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:06,200
tournaments, there was a course that they completely redid it.

133
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,880
And it was volcanoes and mountains.

134
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:11,880
And it was challenging.

135
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,040
Ooh, that does sound fun.

136
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:14,040
It was challenging.

137
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,040
But man, it was really fun.

138
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,040
Oh, of course.

139
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,040
You know.

140
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,760
But, you see, I'm a creative brain, right?

141
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:26,400
That's why I, it's funny because we go play golf and like, at Wind River is a course that

142
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,880
I love to play because they have some crazy greens, right?

143
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:30,880
Right.

144
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:35,800
I love being creative with figuring out how can I get the ball to go around all these

145
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,840
hoops, humps and dumps and make it towards the cops.

146
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:39,840
Of course.

147
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,440
So, you know, hit the ball straight down the fairway.

148
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,680
Well, you know, hey man, not so much.

149
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,640
Hey, you know what they say, drive for show, but putt for dough.

150
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:48,640
For dough, baby.

151
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:49,640
That's right.

152
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,720
Well, I tell her, but when I go play golf, I said, listen, by the way, if you're looking

153
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:59,520
for me, I'm going to be over there by the trees because it's a lot cooler that way.

154
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,800
You know, some guys, they just go out there and hunt golf balls.

155
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,480
So, I feel that one of those people too.

156
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:12,680
You know, I will tell you another one of these cool days is National Archery Day.

157
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:13,680
Oh.

158
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:18,760
Now, you know, not a big deal much, but for me, it's pretty cool because as a kid, my

159
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,640
stepfather was a huge archer.

160
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:21,640
Oh, wow.

161
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:29,440
And so as a kid, I learned the art of archery, actually participated on archery leagues.

162
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,200
We had indoor and outdoor.

163
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:39,480
We would actually travel around and participate in shooting events.

164
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:45,320
And so I ran up a few trophies for my youth efforts.

165
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,480
So yeah, you know, kind of neat.

166
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:53,520
There's a lot of cool history when you start diving into archery as well.

167
00:08:53,520 --> 00:09:02,800
So, nowadays, people think of the fancy combo, compound bows and now of course crossbows.

168
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:07,760
But you know, the old straight and in recurves were really cool.

169
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,840
We actually, I actually shot in my indoor league.

170
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:16,280
We had two Olympic archers who were a part of our league.

171
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,000
Unfortunately, they weren't able to participate in the Olympics of 1988.

172
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,000
Wow.

173
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,000
Wow.

174
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,000
So, man.

175
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,000
You know, you're pretty boycotted.

176
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,320
Well, you're a pretty high company then.

177
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,280
So, you know, they were pretty good shots.

178
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:35,200
I can't say that I've ever done, I guess, would you say, archery before?

179
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:36,200
Yeah.

180
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:37,200
Never done it.

181
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,200
It is interesting.

182
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,200
It looks cool.

183
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,480
Now, I've done the Wii Sports Archery, if that counts, but not the real one.

184
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,680
Well, you know, that's similar.

185
00:09:47,680 --> 00:09:48,680
That's similar.

186
00:09:48,680 --> 00:09:53,560
So, you know, just two video game controllers pulling it back, it counts, right?

187
00:09:53,560 --> 00:09:54,560
That's right.

188
00:09:54,560 --> 00:09:55,560
That's right.

189
00:09:55,560 --> 00:09:57,320
Well, we're going to take a quick break.

190
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:02,040
So, if you're listening this morning, I just wanted to let you know, unfortunately, our

191
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:07,520
first planned guest this morning had something come up and was unable to make it this morning

192
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,760
and literally it was just last minute.

193
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:16,440
So, Riley and I decided that we're just going to have some fun this morning with you guys

194
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,400
and let's honor our moms and have some humor in the way.

195
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,280
So, we would like to hear from you this morning in particular.

196
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:29,320
You can give us a call or text at 865-656-8255.

197
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:33,640
That's 865-656-8255.

198
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:49,600
We'll be right back here on Around the House, a new stock WOKI.

199
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,680
Welcome back to Around the House.

200
00:10:52,680 --> 00:11:00,280
This is Scott Brokamp and I'm joined with our amazing producer Riley.

201
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:07,600
Riley is, well, he's, I don't know if you've listened much to some of the other conglomerative

202
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:15,240
stations from down here at the old Harvard on the hill, but Riley, Riley's a man of

203
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:23,360
many talents and if you listen to much sports animal like I do, you will hear Riley quite

204
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,860
frequently.

205
00:11:25,860 --> 00:11:29,520
You had a big spot fill yesterday with Mr. Ainge, didn't you?

206
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:30,520
I did, man.

207
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:31,520
That was something.

208
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,640
That was pretty special going over to Rusty Wallske, hanging out with Ainge.

209
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:36,640
That was something.

210
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:37,640
I enjoyed it though.

211
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:43,240
Yeah, yeah, that, yeah, you know, you do really good, man.

212
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:44,240
Thank you.

213
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:45,240
I appreciate it.

214
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,760
I'm really glad that you're a part of this show with me as well.

215
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:49,760
Thank you.

216
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:54,960
So, I appreciate you getting up early on Saturdays to, you know, I know that means you're, you

217
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,600
must be the rookie who drew the short straw, but hey, whatever.

218
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:02,960
You'll see, yeah, that was me around this time, probably last summer I was the rookie

219
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:08,600
and I'm still, you know, semi the rookie, I guess, so we'll go from there.

220
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,600
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're good.

221
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:18,840
So as we mentioned before we went to break on our first segment there, our, unfortunately,

222
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:23,240
our guest that was scheduled this morning had something come up and was unable to attend

223
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:24,600
and make it this morning.

224
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:30,080
So, we just decided we're going to talk about some fun stuff today.

225
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:36,480
If you have anything you want to talk about, give us a call, 865-656-8255.

226
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,720
You can also text us at that same number.

227
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:43,880
That's 865-656-8255.

228
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:49,240
So we are talking a little bit about, of course, it's Mother's Day weekend, which is huge,

229
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,040
absolutely huge.

230
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:59,680
And I know that that means a lot to many of us in many different ways, but one of the

231
00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:06,600
days today is actually National Dog Moms Day.

232
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:07,880
Can't forget those.

233
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:16,560
That's right, you know, and I know that there are moms of little fur babies who this is just

234
00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:19,800
as special and important to them as well.

235
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,360
So let's not forget those.

236
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:27,120
Are moms of fur babies?

237
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:28,120
What else?

238
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,120
You got any ideas?

239
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,640
What do you think would be a good national day today?

240
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,040
Big national day today?

241
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,040
Yeah.

242
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:36,680
I mean, you've got to be something with food, right?

243
00:13:36,680 --> 00:13:40,800
Like national, like a pie day or like cake or something.

244
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,440
Oh, you're itching, aren't you?

245
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:44,440
Okay, okay.

246
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,120
We'll hold that one for a moment.

247
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:54,280
So another amazing day today that will go very well is National Birth Mother's Day as

248
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,280
well.

249
00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaking of food, it's Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive Day.

250
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:01,840
Okay.

251
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:06,920
So here's a good one.

252
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,560
It's National Frog Jumping Day.

253
00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:11,560
Frog jumping.

254
00:14:11,560 --> 00:14:14,360
Have you ever seen a frog jumping contest?

255
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:15,360
Have you ever been to one?

256
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,280
Not a contest, no.

257
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,600
So look, I grew up in Central Illinois.

258
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:22,600
Okay.

259
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:23,600
All right.

260
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:24,600
Okay.

261
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,920
There's nothing for miles but fields.

262
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:36,040
And so where my grandparents lived, which was just a very, very small farming community,

263
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,560
they would have, it was called the picnic.

264
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:39,560
Okay.

265
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:43,760
And it was a carnival that would come into town.

266
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,760
It was sponsored by the Knights of Columbus.

267
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,400
And it was just, it was a fun weekend.

268
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:58,760
There was parades, there were rides, there were games.

269
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:04,080
There was of course a beer tent, which was one of the most popular.

270
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:09,400
There was, there were the firefighter hose, moved the ball along the line.

271
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,600
I don't know what you'd call that.

272
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:16,560
But there was always a frog jumping contest.

273
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,160
Interesting.

274
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:23,120
And I mean, you, somebody's bullfrogs, you lay them things out.

275
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,840
Oh, so it was like legit frogs.

276
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,440
Like legit, man.

277
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,760
Like leg to leg, somebody's things were laying out two feet.

278
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,720
Not gonna lie to you.

279
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:40,220
When you said frog jumping contest, I thought you met people doing it.

280
00:15:40,220 --> 00:15:45,320
So when you said it was actual frogs, that makes it a hundred times better.

281
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,720
Now I'm not real sure what national frog jumping day is.

282
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,720
I'm going to look here real quick.

283
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:55,920
Because when you, when you said that, I imagine little kids frog jumping over each other.

284
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,520
Cause I used to do that as a kid just for funsies.

285
00:15:58,520 --> 00:15:59,520
Yeah.

286
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:00,520
Yeah.

287
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:01,520
So, so here we go.

288
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:02,520
Okay.

289
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:10,200
In 1865, Mark Twain published his first short story, Jim Smiley and his jumping frog.

290
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:18,040
Later, he changed the name and published it at the celebrated jumping frog of Calaveras

291
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:19,040
County.

292
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,920
So that's kind of, that's where this started from.

293
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:30,280
The current frog jumping record was set in 1986 by Rosie, the ribbiter who jumped 21

294
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:34,400
feet, holy cow, five and three quarter inches.

295
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:40,160
So that is actually, that was what I recall is this frog jumping contest.

296
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:41,160
Okay.

297
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:45,120
And, and it would be kids and adults alike.

298
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:50,240
And you'd set that, you'd set that frog on a little pad.

299
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,520
And the funny part was, is trying to get them to jump.

300
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:54,520
Huh.

301
00:16:54,520 --> 00:17:01,560
I mean, people are slamp it on the ground and clapping and making funny name noises.

302
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,640
And just to try to get this frog to jump.

303
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:09,400
So, no wonder I'm so messed up, right?

304
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,640
I mean, listen to these childhood memories.

305
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,160
I wouldn't say that.

306
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,840
You had to do something in central Illinois, right?

307
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:16,840
Yeah, right.

308
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,520
Detastal corn in the summer, that was our, that was job.

309
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,280
You know, walking beans, baling hay.

310
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:24,760
That's what we did.

311
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:25,840
All right.

312
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:32,040
So onward to a few better things.

313
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:37,800
Today is also a national fruit cocktail day.

314
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,560
Um, my kids will definitely appreciate that one.

315
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,400
I'll need to make sure to get them a fruit cocktail today.

316
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,440
Well, there you go.

317
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,080
And here we go, Riley.

318
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:49,080
All right.

319
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:50,080
System one we're all waiting for.

320
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,480
This is the one we were waiting for.

321
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,960
What better to go along with baseball than national apple pie day?

322
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:57,960
There it is.

323
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:58,960
There it is.

324
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,440
Love, love some pie.

325
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:03,440
You like it.

326
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:04,440
You like apple pie?

327
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:05,440
I do like apple pie.

328
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:06,440
It's not my number one.

329
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:07,440
Yeah.

330
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:08,440
I'll eat apple pie.

331
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,440
I'll eat it for sure.

332
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:11,440
Yeah.

333
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:12,440
I'll eat it.

334
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:13,440
Yeah.

335
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:14,440
I'll eat it.

336
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:15,440
I'll eat it.

337
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:16,440
Yeah, I'm the same way.

338
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:21,720
I mean, I think we can say that fruit pies, they're there.

339
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:22,720
They're there.

340
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:23,720
Yeah.

341
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,560
But I would rather much, I would much rather eat another pie in front of me.

342
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:28,560
Yes.

343
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,960
Like what, what kind of pie, Riley?

344
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:31,960
Either pumpkin.

345
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:32,960
Oh yeah.

346
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,440
Or a little pecan pie.

347
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:35,440
Okay.

348
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,440
Maybe a little chocolate, chocolate hest pie.

349
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:39,440
Little chocolate.

350
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:40,440
There you go.

351
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:41,440
Yeah.

352
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:42,440
Some of those.

353
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,840
Obviously those before apple pie.

354
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:45,840
Yeah.

355
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:50,960
I'm just not a, I'm not a baked fruit in some crust kind of guy.

356
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:51,960
It depends.

357
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:56,240
I mean, a good apple pie, if the apples are like kind of mushy, I'm like, I mean, I'll

358
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,200
eat it, but I'm like, I'd rather not.

359
00:18:58,200 --> 00:18:59,200
I don't know.

360
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:00,200
It just, you know what I mean?

361
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:01,200
It's that texture thing.

362
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:02,200
I do.

363
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:03,200
I do.

364
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,400
I think that right, that right texture for me to eat an apple pie.

365
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:08,400
Yeah.

366
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,720
It's a texture.

367
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:12,720
Yes.

368
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:17,120
Texture is, you know, it is, it is there.

369
00:19:17,120 --> 00:19:20,560
And I think that's, that's a great topic right there.

370
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:21,640
Oh, okay.

371
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:26,680
Because I know that, because I've talked to people and it's either, it's either a taste

372
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,360
thing or it's a texture thing.

373
00:19:29,360 --> 00:19:30,360
Absolutely.

374
00:19:30,360 --> 00:19:31,360
You know, so what are you?

375
00:19:31,360 --> 00:19:32,880
Are you a taste or a texture?

376
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:33,880
Exactly.

377
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:34,880
I'm definitely a texture.

378
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:35,880
Yeah, you are.

379
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:36,880
Okay.

380
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:43,880
It, it, I mean, there's things that, of course, I've been classified a picky eater by some

381
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,440
and I've gotten way better over the years, right?

382
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:52,600
But a lot of things, it's so weird because I'll be like, oh, I love the flavor of that,

383
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:53,600
but I'm never eating it.

384
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:54,600
Never eating it.

385
00:19:54,600 --> 00:20:00,880
And, and like my wife will make fun of me because like, I don't really like onions.

386
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:06,040
And I don't like bits of onions cooked in things, but yet I'll eat me a deep fried onion,

387
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:07,040
have an onion ring.

388
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:08,040
Interesting.

389
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,040
Yeah.

390
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:10,040
That's what my wife said.

391
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:11,880
She says, I mean, but the texture is different.

392
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,520
The texture is a little different.

393
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:14,600
Because it's fried.

394
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:15,600
Because it's fried.

395
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:16,600
Interesting.

396
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:22,600
But now I love, I'll use onion powder in seasoning on almost everything I cook.

397
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,760
Well, I guess it's like you said, you like the flavor.

398
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:25,760
I like the flavor.

399
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,760
But you don't like little, tiny, little pieces.

400
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:29,760
I get that.

401
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,120
I know plenty of people who are the same way.

402
00:20:33,120 --> 00:20:34,120
So what's your go-to pie?

403
00:20:34,120 --> 00:20:36,440
If it's not apple, what's your go-to pie?

404
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,560
Well, I am pretty partial.

405
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:39,560
I do like pumpkin.

406
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:40,560
Of course.

407
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:41,560
I'm a big of pumpkin guy.

408
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:42,560
Classic.

409
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,400
But I'm just going to tell you, I don't know that there's much better than just a good

410
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,880
old classic French silk chocolate pie.

411
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:49,880
Ooh.

412
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:50,880
Okay.

413
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:55,000
That's just, you know, I mean, that's, that's just always a, it's a ready to go.

414
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,000
Can't beat it, man.

415
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,000
Can't beat it.

416
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,000
You just can't beat chocolate.

417
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:02,200
I think it'll also forgot these two, a peanut butter or a caramel pie.

418
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:03,200
Yeah.

419
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:04,200
Yeah.

420
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:05,200
Either one goes.

421
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,200
Peanut butter is, I mean, peanut butter and chocolate.

422
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:09,200
I'm going to tell you.

423
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,200
I'm a sucker for some peanut butter.

424
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:12,200
Yeah.

425
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:13,200
Yeah.

426
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:14,200
Yeah.

427
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,800
There's no doubt about it.

428
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:17,800
No.

429
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,480
Hey, I bet also there's some others out there who make some incredible pies.

430
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,120
So shout out to them.

431
00:21:23,120 --> 00:21:24,520
Make incredible desserts.

432
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:25,520
Absolutely.

433
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:30,120
And that for us, the gentlemen who probably aren't the best in the kitchen, who make the

434
00:21:30,120 --> 00:21:31,480
pies for us.

435
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:32,480
Yeah.

436
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,280
And you know what?

437
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:38,680
This weekend, don't make your mom cook.

438
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:39,680
Absolutely not.

439
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:40,680
Take her out.

440
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,240
If you can't cook, take her out.

441
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:52,040
There are so many amazing lunch brunch buffets and so many great places that you can take

442
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:56,000
your mom to celebrate her.

443
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,880
Just don't make her cook.

444
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:02,040
But hey, if you want to make her a present, make her her favorite pie, try your hardest

445
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:03,520
and that's all she'll care for.

446
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:04,520
That's right.

447
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:05,520
Because you tried.

448
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,320
And if you know that you can't make it, go pick it up.

449
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:08,320
Go pick it up.

450
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,920
Go to your Kroger, Food City, whatever you like and just go get it.

451
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,880
Or just order it from Buttermilk Sky, the Buttermilk Sky.

452
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:15,880
Make incredible ones.

453
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:16,880
That's right.

454
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:17,880
That's right.

455
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,920
So we're going to take a quick break.

456
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,880
When we're going to come back, we're going to focus on our moms.

457
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,520
We're going to hit home here on Mother's Day.

458
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:31,120
And if you've got a special story about your mother that you would like to talk about, give

459
00:22:31,120 --> 00:22:32,120
us a call.

460
00:22:32,120 --> 00:22:33,120
Give us a text.

461
00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:34,120
865-656-8255.

462
00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:35,120
That's 865-656-8255.

463
00:22:35,120 --> 00:22:47,120
We'll be right back here on Around the House on News Talk 987.

464
00:22:47,120 --> 00:22:52,320
Well, good morning, good morning.

465
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,120
Welcome back to Around the House.

466
00:22:54,120 --> 00:22:58,200
I am Scott Brokamp from his security and technology.

467
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,240
And we are talking about moms today.

468
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:05,200
Well, we've been talking about a lot of other stuff.

469
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,760
But we're going to focus on our moms.

470
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:14,600
In a couple of quick tidbits about Mother's Day, did you know the National Retail Federation

471
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:21,680
is expecting Americans to spend over $35 billion on gifts for their moms this year?

472
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,120
You say $35 billion?

473
00:23:24,120 --> 00:23:26,000
$35 billion.

474
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,000
Wow.

475
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:28,000
Yes.

476
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,680
Flowers, cards, dinner out.

477
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,640
Those will be some of the most popular.

478
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,120
Jewelry will be the most expensive of them all.

479
00:23:36,120 --> 00:23:37,120
Of course.

480
00:23:37,120 --> 00:23:39,120
And get this.

481
00:23:39,120 --> 00:23:41,440
I may feel bad now.

482
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:48,800
That average Mother's Day gift budget will be about $275 a person this year.

483
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:49,800
Wow.

484
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,000
So that you...

485
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,000
$275.

486
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,840
That's a good chunk of change.

487
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:57,840
So...

488
00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:58,840
It's definitely so.

489
00:23:58,840 --> 00:23:59,840
But...

490
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:00,840
No doubt.

491
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:01,840
No doubt.

492
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:02,840
That's a chunk of change.

493
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:03,840
And here's the thing.

494
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:08,360
I hope people don't realize you need to go, your mother or your wife, whoever it might

495
00:24:08,360 --> 00:24:09,360
be.

496
00:24:09,360 --> 00:24:10,680
You don't need to do all that.

497
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:11,680
Right.

498
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,400
But that's a chunk of change.

499
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:14,400
You're right.

500
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:15,400
You know?

501
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:16,400
And that's...

502
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,480
If you're a mom listening today, we'd love to hear from you.

503
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:21,480
What...

504
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:22,800
You know, let's face it.

505
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:23,960
I'm just going to tell you.

506
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:30,400
For years I've done just a conglomerate of different things to try to show my mom how

507
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:37,040
much I love her or impress her or let her know how important she is on this day.

508
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:45,560
And I know she has said to me, son, all I really want is to know that, you know, that

509
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,040
you appreciate me.

510
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,600
So if you're a mom and you're listening, help us...

511
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,280
Help us deadhead guys out here.

512
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:55,680
Help us figure this out, right?

513
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:56,680
Please, yes.

514
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:57,680
Call us or text us.

515
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:03,880
We'd love to hear from you to share what it is that you really, really would like.

516
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:08,520
What would make your Mother's Day the absolute best Mother's Day ever?

517
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:17,440
Give us a call or text at 865-656-8255.

518
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:26,040
I think that one of the things in particular about Mother's Day, and for me, it is it's...

519
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:31,080
How easily we take for granted what our mothers do.

520
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,120
And I'm just going to tell you.

521
00:25:33,120 --> 00:25:37,640
I mean, I ran my poor mama through the ringer, right?

522
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:38,640
I was...

523
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:43,760
I mean, I just ran her through the ringer and she was always there.

524
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:49,040
I mean, no matter what, she was always there.

525
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:53,280
And I'm sure I'm not the only one that has that story, right?

526
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:58,000
And even to this day, my mama is always there.

527
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:04,800
Now, I know that life is life and I know that there are people listening right now that

528
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,840
their mothers have passed on.

529
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,440
And today is...

530
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:13,120
Or tomorrow is somewhat of a day of remembrance.

531
00:26:13,120 --> 00:26:15,000
And I understand that as well.

532
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:22,240
And so, you know, just no matter what, it's important to cherish the time that we have.

533
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:27,960
And that's one of the things that I have unfortunately taken me a little while to understand

534
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:32,400
and learn is that life is short.

535
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:37,000
Life is short and we never know how long we have with anybody.

536
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:41,280
And it's important to make sure that you spend time with those special ones in your

537
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,360
lives.

538
00:26:43,360 --> 00:26:46,080
My wife and I, we have two young kids.

539
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:54,920
We were late having kids and it's important for us that we make sure that we spend time

540
00:26:54,920 --> 00:27:04,440
with the grandparents that are left for our kids and for them and for us to be able to

541
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,360
have those good times to reflect upon.

542
00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:10,840
I want to enjoy the time that I have while they're here.

543
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:17,640
And I share all that because as I think about my mom, she still lives in Central Illinois.

544
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,760
I've tried to get her to move down here.

545
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:25,800
She loves it here, but she loves her life that she has.

546
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:32,560
And she recently was here for a visit and she came for a few days and then she went

547
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:38,520
and saw some other family down in Georgia and came back and was in and out.

548
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:39,800
And my mom is a doer.

549
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:40,800
She's a worker.

550
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,320
She's, I mean, she's got to be doing things, right?

551
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:45,320
And I always joke with her.

552
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,120
I'm like, nah, I'm just sitting out.

553
00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:49,000
Just take a break.

554
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:56,160
And so this, this time when she came, I told her, I said, mom, I'm not, I know that you

555
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:57,840
like to have projects.

556
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:02,840
I know that you like to have stuff to do, but I just want you to come and hang out and

557
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,880
be a part of our family.

558
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:11,160
And she said to me with tears in her eyes, literally, that that's all I want to do.

559
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:17,160
I just want to come and be a part of your daily lives with you and your family.

560
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:23,880
And, and so as we embark upon Mother's Day coming tomorrow, that is, that is one of the

561
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:29,960
newest, most recent sentiments that I have with my mother.

562
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:39,120
But I will tell you, I am, I'm blessed because I have bonus moms in my life as many of us

563
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:40,120
do.

564
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:47,080
And, and I think that that tends to get overlooked every once in a while, but I have a bonus mom

565
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:51,320
and then I have a bonus mother-in-law mom.

566
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:55,520
And so, you know, let's not forget them.

567
00:28:55,520 --> 00:29:00,320
Let's not forget what they've done because I'm going to tell you, I've got to be grateful

568
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:06,400
for my mother-in-law because my amazing wife came from her, you know?

569
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:13,400
So Riley, what, what's one of the most remarkable memories you've got with your mom?

570
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:20,200
Yeah, so for me, growing up, my mom definitely sacrificed a lot for me.

571
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:27,120
Obviously, she, you know, taking me to practice, to parties, to games, to, to doing all this

572
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:28,120
and that.

573
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:35,120
I was a pretty active child and for her to put basically me first in everything.

574
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:36,840
She was a stay-at-home mom.

575
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:44,280
She, she worked from time to time, but she wanted to be around me and my sister and us

576
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,120
from day to day needs, you know?

577
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:52,560
She, just everything that we take for granted doing laundry, cooking us meals.

578
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:57,600
Like I said, picking us up from school, taking us there, taking us everywhere.

579
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:02,920
You take that stuff for granted and, you know, I still live at home as, as of now and I'm

580
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,280
cherishing every moment I can at the moment.

581
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:06,280
You know what I mean?

582
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:13,040
Because obviously I want to, you know, start my own life, move out soon and that's going

583
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:18,640
to be, you know, challenging to start without my parents, mom, everybody.

584
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:23,480
And so as, at the moment, you know, I'm cherishing every day I have with them because it won't

585
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,320
be like that in the future.

586
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:30,480
So that, that for me is kind of where I'm at at the moment in my life with my mom, but

587
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:35,560
eternally grateful for what she did for me growing up in, in everyday life.

588
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:36,560
Yeah.

589
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:37,560
Yeah.

590
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,840
And I'm sure you and I are not the only one that share those sentiments.

591
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:41,840
No, yeah.

592
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:46,400
Hey, and if you're listening, we'd love to hear your mom's story, you know?

593
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:52,920
What is one of the most remarkable things that you constantly remember or think about

594
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,280
when it comes to your mom?

595
00:30:55,280 --> 00:31:05,480
And give us a call, give us a text, 865-656-8255-8656-568255.

596
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaking of moms, I would be remiss not to wish, of course, all moms a happy Mother's

597
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:17,560
Day, but my, my predecessor from the show, Ms. Dawn Steimer.

598
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:18,560
Yes.

599
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,760
Dawn, I hope you're not listening this morning.

600
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,560
I hope you're enjoying some sleepy time in bed.

601
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:24,560
Of course.

602
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,360
Because you've had many years being up this early.

603
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:32,920
Actually, chatting with her just, just the other day, such a remarkable woman.

604
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:33,920
Of course.

605
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:41,520
And, you know, and again, thinking of women and empowering and inspiring women, you know,

606
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:49,520
I know her dad was very influential in her life, but look at the woman that she had become.

607
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:55,840
And, you know, we, I mean, we talk about just like the sacrifice of moms.

608
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:57,200
My mom and dad, they divorced.

609
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:58,200
I was six.

610
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,680
My brother was 10.

611
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:05,440
And my mom was struggling to work a full-time job and, and raised two little aliens.

612
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:09,840
I mean, I'm just going to tell you, that's what it was.

613
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,600
And it was tough.

614
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:20,400
You know, it was tough, but she always found a way to make a way to do for our, for our

615
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:21,400
kids.

616
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:25,160
You know, we were, we were active in things.

617
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,800
I played, I played little league.

618
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,120
I was a bowler.

619
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,800
I bowled other sports.

620
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,680
My brother is a musician into music.

621
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:38,400
I mean, we were always, she was, we were always getting to where we needed to go.

622
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,920
We were always doing things.

623
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,640
In credit, back in that day, it wasn't a big deal.

624
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:50,000
And where I lived, I mean, you know, hop on your bicycle and ride seven to 10 miles and

625
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,120
go hang out with whoever, you know?

626
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,400
So it was a different time.

627
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:55,400
Sure.

628
00:32:55,400 --> 00:33:02,240
There was a little help on that standpoint, but I just, I mean, I look back at what my

629
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:07,000
mother did, raising us two boys.

630
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,600
And I'm, I'm just amazed.

631
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:20,560
I mean, as, as a dad of two girls right now, I mean, between my wife and I together, most

632
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,440
days were like, how are we going to do this?

633
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,240
You know, how?

634
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:26,880
And it's exhausting.

635
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:37,720
And to think that one superwoman mom was able to take care of and raise two boys.

636
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,960
And I'd like to think we both turned out pretty good.

637
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,840
We, I, you know, I definitely, I don't, I don't know your other sibling, but I definitely

638
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:44,840
think you have Scott.

639
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:46,240
Well, of course I am the better.

640
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:47,240
Oh, well, obviously yes.

641
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,160
I mean, you have you on radio show.

642
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:50,160
Yeah.

643
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:51,160
Yeah.

644
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:55,080
Well, you know, but in my brother, I mean, we both, we've got, we have, we have, we

645
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,720
have a good work ethic, part of that.

646
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:02,680
And we got that from mom and dad both, you know, we just, we grew up that way.

647
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:08,280
But in my brother, he's, he owns a printing business in central Illinois.

648
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:09,840
He's, he's a printer.

649
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:11,240
He's in print.

650
00:34:11,240 --> 00:34:17,360
And, you know, he's got two awesome kids that he started a lot earlier than I did.

651
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:23,800
So his are grown and out of the house and, you know, but hey, it helps keep me, keep

652
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:24,800
me young.

653
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:31,680
Um, but you, you know, I mean, again, I think that, uh, I just look back at that and I'm

654
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:32,800
just amazed.

655
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:33,800
I'm just amazed.

656
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:41,080
Um, anyway, I know we're, I'm just reminiscing here a little bit and, uh, but I hope it's

657
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:46,920
making you as you're sitting around your house this morning, reminisce, reminisce and

658
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:54,360
think about those times of, of you and your mom and, uh, you know, the mark and the inspiration

659
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,280
that she left on your lives.

660
00:34:56,280 --> 00:35:00,560
And I know not everybody has that story, but we'd love to hear your story.

661
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:05,720
Give us a call or text at eight, six, five, six, five, six, eight, two, five, five.

662
00:35:05,720 --> 00:35:10,400
We're going to take a short break and we will be right back here on news talk 98 seven W.

663
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:11,400
Okay.

664
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:24,760
Welcome back to around the house.

665
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:32,960
I am Scott Brokamp of his security and technology and, uh, here with Mr. Riley here in studio,

666
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:37,280
uh, and we're talking about Mother's Day, of course.

667
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:43,120
So I just want to say during the break, I was, uh, just looking into tomorrow's national

668
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:44,400
days, right?

669
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,320
Which of course Mother's Day.

670
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:51,320
There's very few national days tomorrow because well, let's face it, it's Mother's Day.

671
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:57,560
But there is one that I find that I'm sure is of no coincidence whatsoever.

672
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,560
Wink, wink.

673
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:05,120
Tomorrow is ash is, uh, also national decency day.

674
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:06,120
Decency day.

675
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:07,120
Okay.

676
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,960
Now decency, what, what is it referring to?

677
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:12,600
Is it just Riley?

678
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,840
Come on now.

679
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,840
Look decent.

680
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:17,840
Be decent.

681
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:18,840
Be decent.

682
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:20,120
You know, be decent to each other.

683
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:21,840
Be nice to each other.

684
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:26,760
Um, and also tomorrow is national biscuit day.

685
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:30,720
Oh, there, that's the real one.

686
00:36:30,720 --> 00:36:33,400
After after Mother's Day, that's, that's it.

687
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,200
Take your mom for a biscuit.

688
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,640
Oh, lots of good biscuit places in town.

689
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,760
And I'm telling you, what's your favorite biscuit place?

690
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:46,120
So my favorite is, I don't know if he's open tomorrow, but Matt Robbs biscuits.

691
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:47,120
Okay.

692
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:48,800
He makes them fresh daily.

693
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,920
He's got a place downtown.

694
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:52,920
Incredible biscuits.

695
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:53,920
Incredible.

696
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:54,920
All right.

697
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,160
I, I really haven't had much for breakfast this morning.

698
00:36:58,160 --> 00:36:59,160
So we can't dive down.

699
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:03,160
We're going to pass the biscuit, biscuit story here.

700
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,080
But back to national decency day.

701
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:06,080
Of course.

702
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:10,360
I mean, again, what better way to celebrate your moms than this?

703
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:19,920
It, it is to celebrate the basic standard of civility that every American, not American,

704
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:25,680
everybody, every person deserves.

705
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:26,680
Everybody.

706
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:27,680
I like this.

707
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:32,720
What it says here decency is a non part partisan grassroots movement.

708
00:37:32,720 --> 00:37:33,880
Oh, why?

709
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:38,160
Why is that not just not just a natural core of your human being?

710
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,160
Right?

711
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:46,320
Uh, anyway, so, uh, again, I think that is a beautiful compliment to go along with Mother's

712
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:47,320
Day.

713
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:48,320
Absolutely.

714
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:53,320
Uh, I think most moms would agree that that is right there on the top of the list.

715
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:54,320
Right?

716
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:55,320
Oh yeah.

717
00:37:55,320 --> 00:38:03,800
Um, so speaking of Mother's Day and shopping, have you done your Mother's Day shopping?

718
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:04,800
Already?

719
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:06,720
Uh, let's just say yes.

720
00:38:06,720 --> 00:38:08,320
Let's just say yes.

721
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:16,960
So in case you're listening and you haven't already, um, let's talk about some last minute

722
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:18,520
gift ideas.

723
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:19,520
Okay.

724
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:28,920
So like me, um, my moms two out of three live out of state.

725
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:35,880
So I've tried the order flower thing and, and I'm just going to tell you, it ends up

726
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:37,400
a disaster.

727
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:38,400
Okay.

728
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:47,720
I mean, there's nothing worse than thinking that you're sending your mom a beautiful bouquet

729
00:38:47,720 --> 00:38:54,400
and only to find out that maybe it's not quite what you thought it was going to be based

730
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:59,000
on the pictures from, you know, whatever that online place is.

731
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,480
Um, so I've been that route.

732
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,440
Uh, I've done little things here and there.

733
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:13,680
So, um, but you know, the big thing really for me is helping my kids celebrate their

734
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:14,680
mom.

735
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:16,800
That's the big thing.

736
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:18,920
So, but let's face it.

737
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:24,360
I don't know about your household, but for me, I know one of the good standbys is that

738
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:29,160
there's always a good comfy pair of pajama pants.

739
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:30,480
Can't beat those.

740
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:35,160
Uh, a nice comfy, fluffy snuggle blanket.

741
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:36,160
Okay.

742
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:39,080
Um, see that I'm told you I'm blessed.

743
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:40,080
Yes.

744
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:41,960
Obviously you can tell my wife likes to snuggle.

745
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:42,960
Of course.

746
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:43,960
Can't beat that.

747
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:44,960
I'm a lucky man.

748
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:46,000
My kids like to snuggle.

749
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:47,160
We have snuggle fest.

750
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:48,160
There you go.

751
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,240
Um, so of course there's the old standby.

752
00:39:51,240 --> 00:39:54,520
You can run out and grab you a bouquet of flowers.

753
00:39:54,520 --> 00:40:02,080
Uh, actually our, our next guest for the next hour is going to also have some amazing ideas

754
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:09,240
for you on the, uh, on the, uh, gardening and flower side of life.

755
00:40:09,240 --> 00:40:14,880
Uh, but what are some other last minute great gift ideas?

756
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,920
Let's, I mean, you can't be chocolate.

757
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:19,560
Just any kind of chocolates.

758
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:20,760
Can't beat that.

759
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:27,040
It's like you've, you've mentioned blankets, like you said, flowers, chocolate, maybe just

760
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,560
some clothes.

761
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:31,680
Can't beat some more either.

762
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:32,680
Right.

763
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:37,160
We're coming around this time of year, maybe just some good looking dresses or some kind

764
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:42,760
of jewelry, maybe just run and get a quick little necklace or a ring or bracelet, whatever.

765
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:46,200
So you know, just some casual things, some chocolate, some stuff like that.

766
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:47,200
Probably.

767
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,680
I just got to tell you, Raleigh, that sounds like a good old fashioned gift card to me right

768
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:51,680
there.

769
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:52,680
Yeah.

770
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,120
This is a good old Amazon gift card.

771
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,320
Let her like, you know, get what you want.

772
00:40:58,320 --> 00:40:59,320
You know, that's right.

773
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:04,800
I mean, look, I've, I've made that mistake buying clothes and then, you know, I mean,

774
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:09,600
gosh, I mean, there is nothing more awkward than when you get the wrong size, especially

775
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:13,400
if it's when you're, you know, if you're buying it for your wife on Mother's Day.

776
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:14,400
On Mother's, yeah.

777
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:15,400
Yeah.

778
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:16,400
I'm bypassing that whole situation.

779
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:17,400
The whole situation.

780
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:18,400
Yeah.

781
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:19,400
I don't blame you.

782
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:20,400
Yeah.

783
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:27,720
You know, and I bet you any of our moms listening today, I bet you that they would tell you

784
00:41:27,720 --> 00:41:33,680
one of the best gifts that they have ever received is one of those beautiful homemade

785
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,000
gifts from one of their kids.

786
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:41,720
I know my daughter brought home a beautiful little picture collage for mom that they made

787
00:41:41,720 --> 00:41:44,720
at school.

788
00:41:44,720 --> 00:41:47,240
And my kids both are fairly creative.

789
00:41:47,240 --> 00:41:54,280
So they'd normally come up with some, some pretty good ideas, but they, they love to,

790
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:58,720
they love to make things for mom.

791
00:41:58,720 --> 00:42:06,960
And you know, I know that, I know my mom has things that I've made for her over the years

792
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,400
and I keep trying to tell her, just get rid of them.

793
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,560
You can't do that though.

794
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,560
It's too sentimental, you know?

795
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:14,560
You know?

796
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:16,560
Like, you can't do it.

797
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:26,800
I, I think for me, I, I, to stand by best of all, best ever last minute, Mother's Day

798
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:33,840
gift, right, is always the, hey, surprise, we're going to have a cook out and hang out

799
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:34,840
at your house.

800
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:35,840
Yeah.

801
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:36,840
There it is.

802
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:39,080
I'm just telling you, don't, you don't make mom cook.

803
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:40,080
You do cook.

804
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:41,080
You cook.

805
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:42,080
You cook.

806
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:43,080
You cook.

807
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:44,080
You cook.

808
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:45,080
You cook.

809
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:46,080
You cook.

810
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:47,080
You cook.

811
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,360
Whatever you want to make, don't forget the dessert.

812
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,400
Oh, that's, that's paramount.

813
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,040
Bring it to mom.

814
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:54,160
Bring it to mom.

815
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:58,560
You know, or you could invite her to your house so she doesn't have to clean up after

816
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,580
you and you're gone.

817
00:43:00,580 --> 00:43:07,280
You know, but, uh, whatever you do, whatever you do this weekend, I'll honor your mom.

818
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:08,560
Let her relax.

819
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:13,800
Let her enjoy time just being with you.

820
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:15,680
This, this important day.

821
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:21,520
So I'm gonna leave it with that. We're gonna take a short break and when we come back

822
00:43:22,820 --> 00:43:27,860
We are going to be speaking with our amazing guest from

823
00:43:28,260 --> 00:43:33,260
Stanley's greenhouse Abby Stanley will be here and she'll have some last-minute ideas for you as well

824
00:43:33,260 --> 00:43:50,160
We'll be right back here on a news talk 1987 W. Okay. I

825
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:59,640
am a founder co-owner of his security and technology here in town and Riley. Thank you so much for

826
00:44:00,240 --> 00:44:02,240
You know just sharing

827
00:44:02,720 --> 00:44:04,560
precious moments

828
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:06,880
Well about life really for the first hour

829
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,200
If you've got any special memories with your mom

830
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:16,520
We'd love to hear about him. Give us a caller text at 865-656-8255

831
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:21,600
That's 865-656-8255

832
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:27,680
So there is also a boatload of places to pick up a Mother's Day gift today

833
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:30,240
The farmers market is back on Market Square

834
00:44:30,720 --> 00:44:34,360
You have the Vestival Arts and Music Fest at

835
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:39,720
Kandora Marble Company in the vest in the Vestal community of South Knoxville

836
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:45,280
The spring marketplace is going on today at the historic Ramsey house

837
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:52,880
And there are many other things maybe your mom likes softball. Maybe she likes baseball

838
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:58,640
Don't forget our Lady Vols playing the SEC championship today at three o'clock on ESPN

839
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:08,080
our men baseball team I think first pitches at noon today at Lindsey Nelson and we're you know, we're going against Kentucky

840
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:15,080
So, you know mom's gonna be supportive of that no matter what but if you want to learn more about what's going on around town

841
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:20,320
You can go to visit Knoxville.com. That's visit Knoxville.com

842
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:27,920
My guess this hour is another prime example of a family owned business that has been an oxal for generations

843
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:33,520
We told you last Saturday about the container gardening workshop at Stanley's greenhouse

844
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:39,960
Well, we have the lady who taught that seminar with us live in the studio today from Stanley's greenhouse

845
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:46,080
Here's Abby Stanley Gerald's she's going to tell us all about the pretty things moms love

846
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:50,720
Hi, thank you so much for having me. I'm so glad that you're here

847
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:55,320
You know and in more ways than one but thank you so much

848
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,880
We appreciate you being here and I think I mean what better

849
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:06,880
Conversation to have with the Mother's Day than the beauty in the life of well quite frankly

850
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:14,280
Plants yeah, yeah, well without getting too philosophical with it, you know mothers are

851
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:23,760
You know the bringer of life essentially and you know plants being that and and that nurturing quality of plants

852
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:25,880
They just go hand in hand

853
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,680
I've told several people if you're a plant mom, you're still a mom

854
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:35,280
Because really I mean you're nurturing a living thing, right? That's all that's what it's all about

855
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:36,840
Um

856
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:41,680
But yeah, um, I don't know if I know a mom that doesn't like flowers

857
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:45,440
Yeah, I mean some people struggle with keeping them alive, right?

858
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,000
Who doesn't love flowers?

859
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:51,160
And we have so many options right now

860
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:57,880
So for those of you that don't know Stanley's greenhouse, we are a family owned and operated

861
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:03,400
Farm basically in South Knoxville. We grow over 60 percent of the plants that we sell

862
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:06,280
So for that reason all of our plants are tax-free

863
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:10,800
Yeah, so and we have a lot of control over it too. So

864
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,880
We like to think we have the best quality for that reason too

865
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:18,000
We have

866
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:22,040
thousands of blooming annual hanging baskets, which are great

867
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:28,280
Well, maybe not left but we grew tens of thousands

868
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:32,560
But the store is full of beautiful hanging baskets

869
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:38,520
They're just $20 you can just pick one up mom can put it on the porch easy peasy

870
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:43,560
Got a couple mixed containers. We'll see how long those last today

871
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:47,040
And those are also good grab-and-go

872
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:51,560
And then there are just there are so many options. We've got roses

873
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,440
You could plant mom a vegetable garden

874
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:58,520
She can use it in the kitchen

875
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:03,680
Fresh tomatoes, but if you're gonna plant mom a vegetable garden, you better go take care of it for her as well

876
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:09,600
Okay, we don't want mom to work now unless you're like my mom she loves that's what she loves to do

877
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:13,920
She I'll call her and she's like yeah, I'm not working in my flowers

878
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:20,600
And I mean you can tell she's exhausted, but that's just I mean that's her happy place. Yeah, it's just her happy place

879
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:22,600
It's a really healing thing

880
00:48:22,720 --> 00:48:28,480
And in the world we live in you know, there's so much chaos and there's so much turmoil and just being able to escape

881
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:34,680
To the garden hear the birds, you know and take care of something watching it grow is so fulfilling

882
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,920
It just it's healing it really is yeah

883
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:45,880
I'm I'm grateful that I have a live-in mother-in-law who takes care of all of that around our house

884
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:50,080
So grateful. Thank you so much grandma. Isabel. We love you

885
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:56,760
What it is it's so beautiful right when when things are in bloom. I know that

886
00:48:56,760 --> 00:49:02,780
Even though it's not really the fruits of my labor that have have made all this come to life

887
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:08,400
But it is so beautiful and I will every year when things get in bloom

888
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:14,160
I will go out and I will clip me some flowers and I will put them in a vase and I will put them on the counter

889
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:20,360
And and it just it literally brightens up the day. Yeah, if my wife and I are kids

890
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:25,600
It's just when you see that beauty sitting there in front of you every morning when you wake up

891
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:30,280
It's just I'm just gonna tell you it just really brightens the day

892
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:36,240
Totally so now if I could just learn how to sustain some of these plants in the house

893
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:41,320
That would probably be a lot better a lot better to do so

894
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:46,280
Obviously we've got some great last-minute gift ideas for mom

895
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:50,440
So if you're a slacker and you have not gotten mom taking care of Ryan

896
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:59,160
Um last-minute gift ideas go see Abby over at Stanley's greenhouse. They've got some amazing amazing plants

897
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:02,040
I love how you said that Abby

898
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:04,680
easy peasy

899
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:07,920
That's the way and squeezy. That's right. That's right

900
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:10,160
Okay

901
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:16,560
What do you got? Yes? No, Riley's just shaking his head. He's he's like I'm done

902
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:23,520
I ain't got nothing easy peasy lemon squeeze. We've all got busy lives life is cheesy. Oh, yeah

903
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:29,640
Right, I mean can't pass up a good dad joke opportunity right there. I'm just telling you

904
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:37,640
So but obviously beautiful flowers is is a great rendition and a great honor to your mom, but there's other things

905
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:44,080
You could plant a shrub for mom or plant a tree in honor of mom

906
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:51,320
So many different opportunities, right? Yeah, and and something about that too is just the longevity of it

907
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:54,040
You know if you plan to tree

908
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:57,440
That's going to be there hopefully

909
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:00,360
for decades and

910
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:04,440
That is such a beautiful reminder of that person

911
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,040
and that legacy and

912
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:15,960
It's something people do a lot of times in memory of but it can also just be something that they enjoy without me getting on my soapbox

913
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:23,440
trees are and you know extremely important for the environment creators of oxygen and

914
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:29,880
Taking in all the greenhouse gases and they're getting cut down left and right so

915
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:32,960
really important to plant trees, but

916
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:35,760
But yeah, it's a great thing

917
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:38,240
To be able to watch them grow and

918
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:43,000
Survive yeah, absolutely. Well in in your right

919
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:53,000
Moms are not just the giver of life it much like plants. They are very much so the sustainer of life as well

920
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:59,080
And we must not forget that again. This is you know, I'm just gonna tell you

921
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:03,000
Mother's Day. I mean I love being a dad and I love my dad

922
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:09,560
He was he's an amazing man and my stepfather was an amazing man, but I'm just gonna tell you nothing tops of mom

923
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:12,880
I'm just I'm just here to tell you nothing tops of mom

924
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:21,600
We are gonna take a real short break and we're gonna come back and we're gonna continue talking with Abby Stanley about well

925
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:29,120
Not just last-minute gifts from mom because I know not everybody needs the last-minute gift because a lot of you are planners and did good

926
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:34,960
But we're gonna talk about Stanley Stanley's greenhouse and the history and

927
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:42,240
Why you should visit them stay tuned and stay with us here on around the house on news talk 98 7 W. Okay

So I'm gonna do my best to stay on on point here so we can talk about important things

933
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:20,600
Which as most of you know, I struggle with so

934
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:24,000
Abby thank you so much for joining us

935
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:31,120
Thank you for having me so I know one of the neat things we want to talk about today is you have a seminar going on today

936
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,800
Yeah, it's actually our last seminar of this season

937
00:53:35,240 --> 00:53:39,080
Then we'll be picking back up in the fall once things cool down in the greenhouse

938
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:45,280
But today at 1030 is warm season vegetables with John Tullick

939
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:51,240
If you're a gardener in Knoxville, it's probably you've probably heard of John Tullick. He's

940
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:53,760
he's just

941
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:55,200
a local

942
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:56,720

943
00:53:56,720 --> 00:53:58,320
aficionado

944
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:04,520
He's written a couple different books on the topics too. He's done a lot of like farm to table

945
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:09,920
Focused on a lot of veggie gardening, but also done like small space and urban gardening too

946
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:16,520
But yeah, he's a wealth of knowledge when it comes to vegetable gardening and

947
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:21,800
We're lucky to have him so yeah, and so that's 1030 today

951

We are in South Knoxville just about five minutes from downtown easy to get to yeah, there you go a GPS

961
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:27,360
but speaking of moms

00:55:28,720 --> 00:55:30,720
Hydrenias are 20% off

963
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:35,000
Yeah, so the floral hydrangeas are 20% off

964
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:37,880

Yeah, they're mostly pink. There are some white, but they're gorgeous. They're in bloom. They're just these huge

966
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:50,000
I don't know another way to describe it puff balls of color

967
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:52,160
and

968
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:54,680
Another great grab-and-go gift, you know

969
00:55:55,960 --> 00:56:00,320
So more easy peasy peasy. That's how we like it. So

970
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:07,320
You know, I'm sure many of our listeners today are very familiar with Stanley's greenhouse

971
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:13,000
Because you guys have been a staple here for a very long time

972
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:15,680
Yeah

973
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:20,960
Some people it's that we have a lot of new people to Knoxville and some people will say I never knew you were here

974
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:22,120
It's like oh wow

975
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:28,440
But then we get those that it's like I've been coming here and they'll say I've been coming here since y'all were on the hill and

976
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:32,960
And because we had an old retail center before we built the one we were in now

977
00:56:33,720 --> 00:56:37,720
That was 1999 when we built this the new one and

978
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:45,000
Yeah, I mean we've been around for a long time

979
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:51,680
Yeah, you guys so you but you started you guys have actually

980
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:55,280
Produced

981
00:56:55,280 --> 00:57:03,160
fields of beautiful flowers for really even many years before you were kind of recognized as a business

982
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:08,120
Yeah, well we quantify our our time is like 1955

983
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:13,560
We really don't even know when the first glass houses were built, but we guessed around the 50s

984
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:17,400
So that's what we say, but before then we were growing

985
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:20,120
flowers in the fields and

986
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:26,080
doing more cut flower stuff and growing that and I'm selling it on the market on Market Square and

987
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:29,680
To you florist around downtown

988
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:34,400
So what generation are you in the business?

989
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:37,760
Well

990
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:42,800
If we're talking about the business from 1955 then I am the third generation

991
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:46,720
Yeah, I

992
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:48,720
would say the eighth of

993
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:52,560
The eighth generation of people working on the farm though

994
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:56,500
Yeah, that we know eighth generation

995
00:57:57,120 --> 00:57:59,120
On the land for yeah

996
00:57:59,960 --> 00:58:01,960
listen, I mean

997
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:06,560
That I mean that's amazing. I mean most family businesses

998
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:13,360
They're you're lucky if you make it to a third maybe a fourth generation, you know

999
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:19,560
Hmm usually most family businesses do not sustain much longer

1000
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:23,400
I think the average is three. I think it's three generations

1001
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:27,840
I think it's within the the national average of sustainability of a family business

1002
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:31,360
so to think that you guys have been around and

1003
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:36,480
You're actually a part of the eighth generation of this farm

1004
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:46,200
Giving back to the community here in Knoxville. Yeah, it's kind of amazing. Yeah. Yeah, we're gonna break that third generation thing

1005
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:52,480
Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I feel extremely proud extremely lucky

1006
00:58:53,800 --> 00:59:01,880
It's it's just such a love of mine to be able to be there and and to be carrying on the work that

1007
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:04,600
My ancestors have been doing for so long

1008
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:11,160
Yeah, they'll really grateful. Yeah, that is I mean, that's awesome. That is amazing. So

1009
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:15,660
Who's Lisa and Rocky? Oh

1010
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:23,480
Yeah, well Lisa is my mom she

1011
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:26,440
passed away last year

1012
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:29,640
She

1013
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:35,440
Was basically the face of the business for the 20 years that she was there

1014
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:39,920
she well over 20 but

1015
00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:46,800
She loved that place so much and she had so much charisma

1016
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:51,120
I swear she knew everybody in Knoxville because of it

1017
00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:55,840
We'd go to the grocery store and people would hunter down. It's just like oh my goodness, but

1018
00:59:55,840 --> 01:00:02,160
Um, but she I mean she had such passion and it was so visible

1019
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:05,160
She was like the essence of the business

1020
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:13,480
During her time there. So she married my dad. My dad is Rocky and he was the head grower

1021
01:00:13,920 --> 01:00:15,920
for his time there

1022
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:18,840
So basically my grandfather

1023
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:24,560
started the business as we know it now or at least he started growing flowers and

1024
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:27,720
So my dad came along

1025
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:34,560
I mean, he was working on the farm during high school. He'd get out of school go to go water some plants, you know and

1026
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:40,040
It was really his brother Monty was working there too

1027
01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:43,520
And and is still working there and

1028
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:47,760
and but my dad really wanted to grow and

1029
01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:54,560
So he kind of pushed for building more greenhouses building more greenhouses, which was a scary thing

1030
01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:57,760
You had to run a lot of money. Yeah, especially back then

1031
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:02,440
But the more you know, we build the more that we grew and

1032
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:06,840
Yeah, the more people bought and the more people

1033
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:14,160
Learned about that so so it sounds to me and listen, I mean, I know

1034
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:17,240
I've known you for a whole what 30 minutes now

1035
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:25,360
but I can just I can just see and hear the passion in your voice and it sounds to me like

1036
01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:34,360
It sounds to me like your mom has passed along some some footprints on your heart that you are very passionate about and will carry on with you

1037
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:37,480
through this business and that

1038
01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:45,840
Is amazing. It just is. Thank you. Yeah, I think I would have to I don't know be

1039
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:51,440
Have a heart of stone for it not to she was just so you know

1040
01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:56,880
Amazing, but yeah, I'm doing what I can. I definitely care

1041
01:01:56,880 --> 01:02:02,880
And yeah, we'll see where it goes so I

1042
01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:13,640
I'm gonna speculate. I know what your answer is this question, but I've always heard that healthy plants rely on healthy people

1043
01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:19,840
Well, I've never heard that

1044
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:29,640
Um, yeah, I mean the energy of you know, like, you know, you hear people talking to their plants and

1045
01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:39,560
Like it's the environment and bringing and bringing a healthy environment to those plants, right in mind, body and spirit

1046
01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:42,280
and so I

1047
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:45,240
just I

1048
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:54,360
Had one plant in my life when I was younger that I was able to sustain for a while and and I just it was a time in my life that

1049
01:02:54,880 --> 01:03:01,440
I needed a little something and I didn't know what it was and it ended up being a plant and and I would talk to my plant and I'm

1050
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:04,040
Gonna tell you I'm gonna tell you it worked

1051
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:07,360
It worked. Oh, I don't know

1052
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:12,160
Well good good for you. Um, yeah, I mean whatever

1053
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:16,520
My therapist whatever works, right? Well, it is and we tell people all the time

1054
01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:20,840
You know when they're checking out it's like hey, it's cheaper than therapy

1055
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:28,320
Really is it is and it's and it's really good for the soul. It just is it just is really good for the soul

1056
01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:33,920
We are gonna take a short break and we're gonna come back and continue to speak with Abby and

1057
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:38,160
We're gonna we're gonna dive into some plants

1058
01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:46,960
It's not like for real dive, but we're gonna talk about some some particular plants and species as we go on here

1059
01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:50,040
So make sure to tune back in with us here on

1060
01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:54,040
Around the house on news talk 97 W. Okay. I

1061
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:56,040

01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:11,080
Welcome back to around the house I

Hope you're enjoying this beautiful morning outside today and

1064
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:21,240
If you need some more beauty to enjoy well

1065
01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:24,880
go out to Stanley's greenhouse and

1066
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:26,280
at

1067
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:29,200
10 30 today there is going to be a

1068
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:34,280
seminar on warm season vegetable gardening and

1069
01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:42,760
I am not a gardener, but I am told that John Tullock is a very prominent member of

1070
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:48,120
The community and has written several books and he will be

1071
01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:52,040
presenting today out at Stanley's greenhouse

1072
01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:58,640
You can go to their website and learn all about what they have to offer and check out these events

1073
01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:01,800
There's actually a simple little button to click on for directions

1074
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:07,400
You can go to Stanley green house calm. That's Stanley's green house.com

1075
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:10,440
Don't forget to ask like I did

1076
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:19,080
Stanley's with an S greenhouse calm. Sorry. I am I ran out of coffee and I don't have tea. So we're making do

1077
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:25,360
We have Abby in the studio this morning and Abby is as we discovered earlier

1078
01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:28,480
eighth generation of the farm

1079
01:05:29,480 --> 01:05:31,480
third-ish generation of the business

1080
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:39,440
And and she is carrying on and well we're just I'm just gonna call it the soon-to-be face of

1081
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:41,440
The business

1082
01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:43,440
Yeah

1083
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:46,280
No pressure no pressure

1084
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:52,200
But as many of you know it is it is that time of year that we get outside and

1085
01:05:53,400 --> 01:06:01,760
And we start planting and enjoying the outdoor plants. So I know that we may be a little late for some plants

1086
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:04,680
so

1087
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:07,240
Abby I'm gonna look to you. You're the pro here

1088
01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:15,560
Again, I'm a novice know very little about what plants when to when to plant them and well

1089
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:20,360
Where to plant them there's a lot of good information here. Yeah. Yeah

1090
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:23,200
Well, I tell people all the time

1091
01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:26,800
Just because you don't know it doesn't mean you can't learn it. That's really

1092
01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:29,180
That's just really it, you know

1093
01:06:29,180 --> 01:06:34,240
You just have to just have to dive in and and start doing it and the more you do the more you learn

1094
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:37,720
But as far as when to plant things

1095
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:46,400
We are getting a little late. We talked about trees earlier. It's really best to plant like your larger plant material in the fall

1096
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:55,840
So that there's enough time for those plants to get their root systems established before the heat and stress of summer

1097
01:06:57,440 --> 01:07:00,840
So if you are gonna buy a tree for mom, which is a great option

1098
01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:06,240
you know, maybe wrap it up put it in a pot make it look pretty for the summer and

1099
01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:08,800
water for and

1100
01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:14,000
Plant it in the fall to ensure that it does the best that it can

1101
01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:21,320
Yeah, so along with that goes shrubs shrubs are gonna be like the backbone of any garden, right?

1102
01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:24,000
So you want to start big and then work smaller a

1103
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:30,160
Good garden is gonna have layers. It's gonna have larger plant material and

1104
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:35,880
In all different things blooming at different times three things giving different interests at different times

1105
01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:43,800
So obviously the trees have their purpose and then you have your shrubs, which are gonna be your larger bushes and things

1106
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:51,280
Usually a lot of things that are evergreen so there can be some things some interest in the winter

1107
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:54,120
It's good to plant those in the fall too

1108
01:07:55,400 --> 01:08:03,880
You can get them established right now. It's just it's a little more work and sometimes summer like I said can be pretty stressful

1109
01:08:04,600 --> 01:08:06,040
and

1110
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:12,720
But one of the things I tell people if you can put it on a slow drip as opposed to just sitting over there with the water

1111
01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:17,920
They're like five minutes. That's better because then it seeps into the ground more evenly

1112
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:20,240
and

1113
01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:25,520
then working your way down then the next year would be perennials and

1114
01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:29,560
Perennials you could really plant at any time

1115
01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:34,640
And we have a great selection right now. We actually have a lot of stuff that's still yet to come too

1116
01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:38,040
So we're gonna have a great selection all summer and fall

1117
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:42,400
And perennials are gonna be like your herbaceous

1118
01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:46,120
They come back every year, but they're more herbaceous

1119
01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:51,680
So they're not like the bones, but they're kind of like the muscle tissue like they fill in the like in

1120
01:08:52,080 --> 01:08:54,080
between you know

1121
01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:56,680
And they'll bloom

1122
01:08:56,800 --> 01:09:00,800
But they don't have they usually bloom for you know a month or so

1123
01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:05,600
And they usually stay in that like mid size range

1124
01:09:07,360 --> 01:09:11,640
It's like a lot of the like native wildflowers that you see those are gonna be perennials

1125
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:14,400
and then

1126
01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:18,640
your smaller tier is gonna be annuals and

1127
01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:23,280
So we grow a lot of all of these we grow the most of annuals

1128
01:09:24,480 --> 01:09:26,480
definitely and

1129
01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:31,120
That's gonna be your color for the summer right so it's good to have all of those things

1130
01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:36,800
But the annuals are gonna bloom like some people are like why would I want it if I have to replant it every year?

1131
01:09:37,880 --> 01:09:39,880
valid question, but

1132
01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:47,520
Nothing else is gonna bloom from May to October. You're just not gonna get that longevity out of anything else and

1133
01:09:48,480 --> 01:09:50,480
That's definitely worth the money

1134
01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:53,120
so

1135
01:09:53,120 --> 01:09:55,120
well

1136
01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:57,480
So what are what are some of the most popular?

1137
01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:02,520
Annuals that that you guys grow or that you recommend for our area?

1138
01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:04,680
Yeah

1139
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:09,800
Depends on your situation right so sun or shade or partial?

1140
01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:13,400
So if we're going with shade

1141
01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:19,800
There aren't a whole lot of options for color, but like begonias and impatience are basically the staple there

1142
01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:22,680
We have a lot of beautiful colladiums

1143
01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:27,160
Which are kind of like elephant ears. They've got gorgeous colored foliage

1144
01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:30,400
I can really brighten up the shade and

1145
01:10:30,400 --> 01:10:35,400
And that's a there's some other little guys, but that's about it for the shade

1146
01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:43,560
Then like partial sun and full sun. We've got petunias. We've got so many petunias

1147
01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:50,440
And baskets to petunias are probably the most bred annual

1148
01:10:51,840 --> 01:10:55,200
They just keep coming out with different colors different variations

1149
01:10:55,800 --> 01:10:59,400
There's one that looks like the night sky. It's got like little

1150
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:02,120
Yeah, it's crazy. There are black ones

1151
01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:04,480
They're like

1152
01:11:04,480 --> 01:11:08,760
There are some with like little heart shapes in them

1153
01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:11,800
perfect for moms

1154
01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:15,760
I mean, it's crazy, but yeah

1155
01:11:16,480 --> 01:11:18,480
and then

1156
01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:24,840
We're really hot. We've got like geraniums and of course you got your pansies everybody loves your pansies, right?

1157
01:11:24,840 --> 01:11:29,200
Well, yes pansies are your winter annual, okay?

1158
01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:35,160
So we'll have those in the fall for you to plant during the winter, but they are gonna die soon

1159
01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:41,640
Yeah, when it starts getting hot. Yes. Yeah, I'm gonna replace them. Okay, so

1160
01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:48,160
Yeah, I'm sorry. I interrupted you. You were gonna tell us about some more. You're good. Oh, well, I could go on all day

1161
01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:50,960
I don't know how long we have

1162
01:11:50,960 --> 01:11:58,720
Um, you have you have as long as is is until Riley shuts the microphone off. No, just oh

1163
01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:04,240
We're good. Yeah, we have so many annuals. So we have about everything you would want, you know in

1164
01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:10,240
In it I remember one of the things that I remember most is I used to I had the pleasure

1165
01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:15,760
I had a friend who had family in a place in Michigan called Mackinac Island and

1166
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:22,040
And so if you're old enough, you maybe remember a movie called somewhere in time with Christopher Reeves

1167
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:28,120
It took place on that island, but there is an amazing place called the Grand Hotel and

1168
01:12:29,040 --> 01:12:34,320
One of the things that I recall about the Grand Hotel is every single week

1169
01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:37,680
They would take and they would replace the annuals

1170
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:45,280
Every week, I mean, but you talk about beauty. It was absolutely beautiful

1171
01:12:46,480 --> 01:12:52,720
So but again, that's one of those one of those great memories I have but one of the questions that I have is

1172
01:12:53,440 --> 01:12:55,440
Because I've struggled with this

1173
01:12:55,640 --> 01:12:58,320
in in planting those annuals

1174
01:12:59,320 --> 01:13:05,680
What kind of spacing should we have in those? Yeah, you know, I mean, they're they're usually small

1175
01:13:05,680 --> 01:13:10,680
They're not gonna get real big. Yeah, so well depends

1176
01:13:11,680 --> 01:13:13,680
How much money?

1177
01:13:13,680 --> 01:13:15,800
It depends on the annuals some can get pretty big

1178
01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:20,880
But yeah, no spacing you just got to pay attention to what it is, right? So

1179
01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:27,600
The growth pattern so if I have a plant and it gets 12 to 18 inches wide, right?

1180
01:13:27,600 --> 01:13:30,160
Well, then you probably want to space things about 12

1181
01:13:30,160 --> 01:13:36,720
Inches wide right. I usually go on the smaller side, especially if you want it to look full, right?

1182
01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:39,000
so

1183
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:41,000
Yeah, and

1184
01:13:41,240 --> 01:13:47,960
Part of that takes experience, you know, like oh, I did this last year and I saw how big that got but but yeah

1185
01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:50,200
Basically just looking at its growth

1186
01:13:51,560 --> 01:13:57,080
And going for there. Yeah, cuz I've got a couple little spots at the house that I tried my hand with

1187
01:13:57,080 --> 01:14:00,520
I did I tried and

1188
01:14:01,640 --> 01:14:06,840
Well, I'm just gonna say that I should have probably put and and it was I

1189
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:10,200
believe it was last fall and

1190
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:17,400
I probably should have put twice as many of those pretty little pansies in there that I put in there. Yeah

1191
01:14:18,240 --> 01:14:24,640
Because it just it it didn't turn out quite the way. I hoped it would yeah, you know, so

1192
01:14:24,640 --> 01:14:29,960
All right, and again, right? I'm fueling this with my own personal questions cuz I learned

1193
01:14:31,480 --> 01:14:38,280
So and I'm sure I'm not the only one but I we have a irrigation system that runs through obviously our beds

1194
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:44,520
And and it is buried so it's not topical. It's it's soaking in through the ground

1195
01:14:45,600 --> 01:14:47,520
But I've always wondered

1196
01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:50,720
Do I need to go and sprinkle a little on the top?

1197
01:14:50,720 --> 01:14:56,560
Well, you shouldn't if you have an irrigation system that's working well

1198
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:00,000
Irrigation is difficult though. Yeah

1199
01:15:00,520 --> 01:15:02,000
because you don't

1200
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:09,400
You can't really control it as much but obviously we live busy lives and so for those that don't have time to hand water

1201
01:15:09,400 --> 01:15:11,800
It's yeah, it's it's beneficial

1202
01:15:11,800 --> 01:15:17,560
Well, I just you know, I look at some of my my plants and I'm like, okay, I know it's getting water

1203
01:15:17,560 --> 01:15:24,800
It's it's getting water in the root system. But what are those poor petals look like they just need to they just need a fresh in and up

1204
01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:27,760
You know and well and fertilizer is a big thing to you

1205
01:15:28,360 --> 01:15:33,200
A lot of annuals. They're heavy feeders. So fertilizer is really helpful to do

1206
01:15:34,480 --> 01:15:39,880
There's a product called osmica, which is a slow release. So it's like

1207
01:15:40,960 --> 01:15:43,440
Slowly releasing nutrients for four to six months

1208
01:15:43,440 --> 01:15:47,920
So I sprinkle that in like every hole that I plant

1209
01:15:48,520 --> 01:15:54,640
Because I don't have time to do it very often and that's like takes care of the main nutrients

1210
01:15:55,920 --> 01:16:01,560
Interesting so well, we're gonna take a quick break. But when we come back, I want to talk about that

1211
01:16:01,560 --> 01:16:03,560
I want to talk about feeding our plants

1212
01:16:04,400 --> 01:16:07,680
Because again my my novice ability

1213
01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:15,320
I want to learn I because I love looking at at our beautiful landscape when things are in bloom is beautiful

1214
01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:19,200
And and I need to know how to do a better job

1215
01:16:19,720 --> 01:16:23,440
Making sure to sustain the beautiful life that is living around my house

1216
01:16:23,440 --> 01:16:27,720
If you have questions about how to sustain the beautiful life around your house

1219
01:16:35,680 --> 01:16:37,680
6 5 6 8255

1220
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:44,400
I mean Abby's got eight generations here of experience did she can pull from to answer those questions

1221
01:16:45,960 --> 01:16:47,960
No pressure

1222
01:16:47,960 --> 01:17:05,960
Stay tuned here with us on around the house a news talk 97 WOK I

1223
01:17:10,800 --> 01:17:12,800
Welcome back to around the house

1224
01:17:13,480 --> 01:17:16,880
I'm Scott bro camp from his security and technology

1225
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:20,680
Your local security and technology providers

1226
01:17:21,400 --> 01:17:23,400
but

1227
01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:25,520
Mother's Day is tomorrow and

1228
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:33,400
If you have forgotten or have not had time or whatever the scenario may be the delivery didn't show up

1229
01:17:33,640 --> 01:17:37,360
Whatever the case is you should go see my friend Abby at

1230
01:17:38,280 --> 01:17:44,520
Stanley's greenhouse because if you've been listening, you know, they've got you covered

1231
01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:48,440
They've got you covered you can give your mother the most beautiful

1232
01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:53,520
Most beautiful gift of all and that is well you could return the gift of life

1233
01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:57,000
with a beautiful hanging basket or

1234
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:01,080
A variety of things maybe even plant a shrub

1235
01:18:01,800 --> 01:18:09,040
For your mother and then come back and take care of it. So see look it it has built-in visits with it

1236
01:18:09,240 --> 01:18:11,240
I mean what more would a mom want right?

1237
01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:16,520
Although some there's probably some moms out there like no stay away. I need my privacy

1238
01:18:17,240 --> 01:18:19,240
Oh

1239
01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:23,240
I'm sure not

1240
01:18:24,120 --> 01:18:28,680
Just teasing so when when we left our last segment, you know one of the things you had mentioned

1241
01:18:29,320 --> 01:18:35,240
fertilizing and feeding our our plants in particular in particular our

1242
01:18:36,280 --> 01:18:38,280
Pridials

1243
01:18:38,280 --> 01:18:41,280
Is that correct annuals? Oh, right?

1244
01:18:41,280 --> 01:18:44,360
I always get that mixed up, but yeah, so when is when is the right time?

1245
01:18:45,160 --> 01:18:49,720
When when do we need to make sure that we're getting that fertilizer?

1246
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:55,640
As you mentioned when you plan you put a product in there a fertilizer that is a long life

1247
01:18:56,120 --> 01:19:03,520
That's going to cover you right? Yeah, I mean obviously it's what you can do. I mean you can only do that

1248
01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:10,720
You know, I'm not truthfully not the best plant mom at home, which is why I do that slow release

1249
01:19:11,280 --> 01:19:19,280
Takes care of her months, but my husband is the head grower and he'll he'll usually put more time and effort into the

1250
01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:21,840
so he's taking care of that

1251
01:19:21,840 --> 01:19:23,520
But

1252
01:19:23,520 --> 01:19:27,120
Yeah, I mean it's pretty easy. You know, there are a lot of different products

1253
01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:30,960
But you know, I think it's a lot of different products

1254
01:19:30,960 --> 01:19:36,160
You know, there are a lot of different products, but it's important for the annuals especially because

1255
01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:41,440
They're putting out so much and because they're blooming so much all summer long

1256
01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:48,240
I mean that takes a lot of energy and there's only so much that it can get through the water and the rain

1257
01:19:49,200 --> 01:19:51,040
and the soil so

1258
01:19:51,040 --> 01:19:53,760
I mean obviously a rich soil is important to you

1259
01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:59,360
We're plagued with a lot of clay around here. So starting with a good soil base is

1260
01:19:59,360 --> 01:20:04,320
Uh, one of the most important things using like a soil conditioner to amend that clay

1261
01:20:04,960 --> 01:20:09,920
And some organic matter for food like manure or compost

1262
01:20:10,480 --> 01:20:15,280
Um is important, but yeah, you can also do water soluble fertilizers

1263
01:20:16,160 --> 01:20:18,160
A lot of different ones you can just dissolve

1264
01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:24,880
A teaspoon or however much and the watering can there are also some you can like hook onto the hose and stuff

1265
01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:32,240
Um, but yeah, it's important and like especially if you see any yellowing usually yellowing when it comes to those

1266
01:20:32,800 --> 01:20:33,680
um

1267
01:20:33,680 --> 01:20:36,640
annuals means uh nutrient deficiency

1268
01:20:37,520 --> 01:20:43,360
So is there is there a time I need to make sure to do that or not do that or is it?

1269
01:20:43,600 --> 01:20:49,440
I mean we just need to for the for the lifespan of it if we see issues and we need to make sure we take care of it

1270
01:20:49,440 --> 01:20:54,160
Yeah, I mean, um, let's just like us right like um

1271
01:20:54,880 --> 01:20:59,120
You've got your bread and butter, but you can't survive off of just bread and butter

1272
01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:03,760
Sometimes you need like a kale smoothie or a multi vitamin or something

1273
01:21:04,320 --> 01:21:09,680
You know, I was thinking more like a little bit of jelly to go on there, but you know, whatever no

1274
01:21:10,720 --> 01:21:14,960
but but yeah fertilizers important, um and

1275
01:21:14,960 --> 01:21:20,160
Um, all of the different products should have directions on there as far as like how often to do it

1276
01:21:20,400 --> 01:21:24,400
You don't want to do it more often than it says to right, obviously less is

1277
01:21:25,120 --> 01:21:26,960
fine, um

1278
01:21:26,960 --> 01:21:32,080
More you could follow the directions, which should be ideal, but um, wait, wait, well

1279
01:21:35,760 --> 01:21:41,600
That's a debate that happens at my house way too much by the way, I'm just gonna tell you right well

1280
01:21:41,600 --> 01:21:44,640
I'm an improvise guy, you know, I'm improvise

1281
01:21:45,360 --> 01:21:50,080
You give me a recipe and I'm gonna improvise you know for me. It's whenever I remember

1282
01:21:51,360 --> 01:21:54,480
So so see you can improvise right so

1283
01:21:55,200 --> 01:22:03,200
What I know, you know our focus right now is more to outdoor plants and obviously the beauty that we are

1284
01:22:03,520 --> 01:22:05,520
Being able to enjoy outdoors

1285
01:22:05,600 --> 01:22:10,400
But I would be remiss if we didn't talk at least a little bit about indoor plants

1286
01:22:10,400 --> 01:22:12,400
Um

1287
01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:18,960
Because uh in you're the professional so you let me know but I know a lot of people put their plants into windows

1288
01:22:19,040 --> 01:22:24,560
And I know in summertime a lot of times those plants struggle because of the additional heat. It's coming into the window

1289
01:22:25,440 --> 01:22:27,040
Oh, um

1290
01:22:27,040 --> 01:22:30,560
I I mean I haven't really seen that too much

1291
01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:34,960
Maybe it's just my plants honestly more towards the cold in the winter

1292
01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:40,960
Uh as far as I'm struggling most indoor plants if not all are gonna be like tropical sub tropical

1293
01:22:41,520 --> 01:22:46,880
Species so they're gonna want that heat. Um sometimes they if it's like an abrupt

1294
01:22:47,520 --> 01:22:54,000
Sun change they can get burnt, but it's usually not. I mean they can acclimate with the day links and right

1295
01:22:54,640 --> 01:22:56,640
and all of that but um

1296
01:22:56,720 --> 01:23:02,560
Yeah indoor plants are super important. Um, there are so many studies as far as what?

1297
01:23:02,560 --> 01:23:11,280
Um having plants in your space inside can do for you and it goes along with just like us as human beings being out in

1298
01:23:11,680 --> 01:23:13,680
nature all of the time like

1299
01:23:13,760 --> 01:23:15,760
um, it improves our

1300
01:23:16,320 --> 01:23:17,280
um

1301
01:23:17,280 --> 01:23:18,800
productivity

1302
01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:22,720
Um the way that your brain works it makes you more creative

1303
01:23:23,440 --> 01:23:25,440
Uh lifts your mood

1304
01:23:25,440 --> 01:23:34,880
Um, it's been there have been a couple studies. Um that have put plants in hospital rooms where like someone's been in a coma for months

1305
01:23:35,680 --> 01:23:44,560
And as soon as this plant gets brought in they turn towards it. Oh and like actually yeah, and I mean so many different things as far as like

1306
01:23:45,600 --> 01:23:47,600
healing goes and

1307
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:51,680
So having plants inside not to mention it's going to clean your air too

1308
01:23:51,680 --> 01:23:58,960
Um, there are several different plants that can remove like heavy metal toxins and formaldehyde out of the air. Um,

1309
01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:01,120
so

1310
01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:04,240
So many benefits um to having plants inside

1311
01:24:04,960 --> 01:24:06,320
um

1312
01:24:06,320 --> 01:24:08,320
Yeah, so

1313
01:24:09,040 --> 01:24:11,040
Easiest easiest houseplant

1314
01:24:11,600 --> 01:24:12,720
What is it?

1315
01:24:12,720 --> 01:24:13,600
Oh

1316
01:24:13,600 --> 01:24:20,080
There's there's a couple. Um, there's this snake plant which you basically pretty much never have to water

1317
01:24:20,080 --> 01:24:25,680
Um, you could kill it by over watering it, but as long as you forget about it. Usually pretty good

1318
01:24:26,080 --> 01:24:32,240
Um, that one is one that's super important for air purification and like I said removing the stuffy toxins

1319
01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:34,560
It's really good to have in the bedroom for that reason

1320
01:24:35,200 --> 01:24:36,240
um

1321
01:24:36,240 --> 01:24:41,120
The zizi plant is nicknamed easy zizi

1322
01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:47,200
Um zizi short for its crazy scientific name, but um not zizi toppa

1323
01:24:47,200 --> 01:24:50,240
No, it's zamia colchis zamia folia

1324
01:24:50,960 --> 01:24:52,960
but anyway, um

1325
01:24:53,040 --> 01:24:55,040
And then pothos

1326
01:24:55,120 --> 01:25:00,800
Um is another one. That's the trailing one and it's nicknamed devil's ivy because

1327
01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:05,840
You can't kill it or you almost can't kill it. Um

1330
01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:17,120
I you know my question about the heat the sunlight, you know,

1331
01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:25,520
Obviously the problem is is it's the plants that I have that I'm trying to uh make work in my house

1332
01:25:26,160 --> 01:25:30,880
Uh, yeah, I'm just gonna tell you it's the learning process. It it is a learning process

01:25:52,080 --> 01:25:56,800
Uh, I I don't I don't know and I but again, it's my own fault. I haven't done that done

1339
01:25:57,360 --> 01:26:01,840
