Wait… Y’all Didn’t Say That Growing Up?

In this short and chaotic episode, we’re sharing the sayings we were raised on in our small-town lives. The ones we thought everyone said… until we moved to the city and realized real quick that was not the case.

No shame here though, we love these phrases. They built us, raised us, and honestly… we’re still saying a few of them to this day and at this point, we’re not stopping now 

So whether you grew up the same way or you’re just here trying to figure out what in the world we’re talking about… remember, you always have a seat at our table! 

Love,

Ash & Chess

They were good though. They were good. I wish I mean I know what probably a quarter of them mean. Most of them I know. I mean most of them, like, I was sitting there trying to write them down and then I was I reached out to a couple of my friends and family members back home and I was like, all right, what are some of the things that we said? What are things that like like we had pepperoni rolls in West Virginia and that is not I thought they were everywhere. Yeah. And pepperoni rolls. Yum. They're so good. I'll make them for you sometime. And Tudor's Bisco World. Oh my gosh. I went there. Yes. So good. It's a staple. Oh my gosh, so good. There's nothing better. Yeah. Sitting on the front porch. At every family holiday, all the men would be in the back room. They could all play some kind of instrument. So they would be back there just picking and watching football, obviously. And all the women would be cooking and like it was just that's they'd link lay down and light their farts on fire. These aren't grown men, like these were dads, like our dads and uncles. Yeah. What was that? You brought it down. It was um yummy snacks. Yummy snacks. They're yummy. They are so good. I don't know if it's a West Virginia thing, but it's definitely like our family thing. I'm trying to think of some some staples. I mean, we have restaurants back at home. Like that I'm always like, ooh, like I love at Rosewood, that salmon so good. That's an amazing restaurant. So good. Rosewood's delicious. I mean, obviously back road. What was the little breakfast place that we went to with your mama? Breakfast place. I got the they had like a little shop in the back. I got Oh, Cedarwood. That was good. Yeah, yeah. That's a staple that home. Used to work there. Did you really? I did. I was a waitress for a little bit there. It's one of my first jobs. Um riding in the back of the truck down the road was not a problem. Four wheelers and side by sides, driving down the main roads, not a problem. Shit Creek. Shit Shit Creek. And let me tell you, Nick, don't dance with Nick out on Shit Creek Slab. The shit creek slab. Because he will drop you. Not even think twice. Maybe we should put that video. Just go. We're gonna we're gonna delete that one, probably. We're not deleting it. It's up here. Um but also uh yeah, Back Road, Angie, um such a good restaurant. The burgers are delicious. Good buddies. Good buddies. Yeah, and they're attached. Yep. So if you I mean, obviously if you're in Lebanon, you know these things already. But if you are ever visiting these areas. And Hams Day or Ham Days. Ham days. Yeah, flying pigs, pigeons. Did not see a flying pig anywhere, but it was fun. Mm-hmm. Yeah, the night life, the live music. I also love like you mentioned earlier, like you used to have family and friends that can listen to something and just pick it up and start playing all it. It's great. It was the thing. Yeah. You know, when you have a buddy just bring his guitar around and just play all the songs. Yeah. We had a broke up nineties music. A hill. Trying to say it, but past my parents' house called Bunker. And that's we went up Bunker Hill. Bunker Hill. Yeah. We trucks, four-wheelers, that's what we did on the weekends. I love that. We'd go up there. Horses. Horses? Yeah. No. You ever add horses to the like trail rides? This was like to party. Oh. Well yeah. We didn't ride our horse. We couldn't take our buggies up there. We uh so yeah, you had a horse horse or or you just ride a horse, saddle it up and ride a horse, or you be a side by side. Ashley. Are you being serious right now? Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah. I thought you were kidding. No. So like um family, like Lakes Madden Lee's we they have like I don't know, it was like forty acres or fifty acres, and they just take horses and side by side them and just ride through the creek and the yeah. It's fun. No, we made much trees. Yeah. Yeah, my Aunt Greta's farm. She had a little house in front of her house. Like her house was so awesome. There was a cellar in the kitchen where you'd have to go down to get it. Yeah, it was awesome. But she had a little house in front of hers where her boys that was their bedroom. Yeah. And but it wasn't attached. And so there was an outhouse out there if I'm remembering correctly, but they could just go in the house and use the bathroom if they wanted. But she and I would always stay out there when I'd go and spend the weekends. And we had to use like lanterns and stuff out there. And we'd play games, and that's where I learned how to make mud pies. I'll never forget the little boy across the street, his name that she I don't remember what his name was. She called him Beecherman. Becherman. And he came over and asked if I wanted to make mud pies and I lost it. I was like, What? Like, you want me to put my hands in that?

SPEAKER_01 15:16

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_00 15:17

And she was like, I mean, of course, within a couple of months we were rolling down the hills hoping we didn't land in a cow patty. But yeah, I was not about to make mud pies that day. Yeah. But it changed fast. I remember my childhood we had it's called the hauler. And it was my aunt's and uncle's um their land. And we went down and it was like a whole it's like a may built out. You would pop a tent, take one over there, and then you would have like um there was like a covered area and they would grill and cook and fry all the foods and we'd have volleyball and hay rides and just all the things and you would stay the whole weekend, it would just be a fun little family gathering. But there'd be so 'cause you know, huge family. Yes. Um and s yeah, all my cousins, we had a good time. There is something about growing up in a small town that it just can't I mean I'd have eighty mosquito lights, but it was worth it. It was worth it. Yes. So but now built different. Yeah, but now when you move up north you get caught a Yankee. So there's that. We don't listen to him. No. We don't listen. We don't listen to him. Well, if y'all have any that you want to add to our list or share stories that you should growing up. Yeah, what yeah. What you got? I don't think we're gonna be able to bleep all of this out. Sorry for all of the yeah, the words, but it was just it. You were warned April was unhinged and unfiltered. It was so fun. We were tame. Oh, for sure. Yeah. For sure. We've had a blast. Um we don't even know what we're doing yet for I don't know. Maybe I know. Like what month? Yeah. Um but but oh, I got my Easter tree up. I know, it looks so good. I know.
