NORB

Trista, Host: [00:00:00] Welcome to this week's episode of Trista's PL8STORY  (Plate Story)  Podcast. I'm Trista Polo from iwokeupawesome.com and I am your host. Each week, we learn the story behind that vanity plate. You know, the one you saw driving down the road... what did it say? What did it mean? Why did they choose it? 

welcome to this week's episode. The episode is NORB and my guests today are Brittany Lutz and Jessica Linzmeier from Central Wisconsin. I'm super excited to have you welcome ladies.

 This is going to be super fun. Now, the way that we connected originally is I was on Facebook and somebody in a moms group that I'm a member of shared this awesome photo of the two of you, a Jeep, a license plate, and some Busch beer. And I tracked it down and I found you on Drink Wisconsinbly group.

And then somebody said, Oh my gosh, I totally want to be friends with these ladies. And someone else said, Oh, here they are. And I was able to find you that way with a little good investigative work. So I'm super excited to have you both on. 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:01:10] We're excited. Yeah. We're actually in the Jeep. So 

Trista, Host: [00:01:14] yeah, for people watching on video you'll know this, but if you're not watching, apparently because of an open floor plan and a ton of children, Brittany and Jessica are sitting in the Jeep in question in their coats.

And like, I mean, probably gloves and scarves. It's like 40 degrees there. You're such troopers. I love it. 

Brittany Lutz: [00:01:38] We try. Yeah, we try. 

Trista, Host: [00:01:40] So whose plate is it? Let's start there. 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:01:44] Mine - jessica's 

Trista, Host: [00:01:45] okay. So it's Jessica's plate and NORB. Like what is that? That's one of those that I would post on Facebook and say any ideas.

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:01:54] Well, actually everyone thought it was cause like, that's a pretty common Jeep thing to like name your Jeep. But so everyone assumed it was the Jeep's name, but it's actually my nickname. So that I've had my entire life. 

Trista, Host: [00:02:11] And what does it mean? Like what's the significance? How is it? Because it's nothing like Jessica, it's not like shortened or like, how did you get this nickname?

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:02:20] My dad gave it to me as a baby, like a baby baby. And then like, so like my family called me that and I would go. I was, you know, like in grade school would have my friends over and they would call me that in front of them. And then it just stopped. Like by high school, more people knew me by Norb than if you said at Jessica, they didn't know who you were talking about. 

Trista, Host: [00:02:43] Should I call you Norb for the rest of the interview. 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:02:45] I mean either way it's fine., 

Brittany Lutz: [00:02:48] my kids didn't even know her real name for their entire life. They just found out like probably last year. 

Trista, Host: [00:02:56] Wow. Oh my goodness. 

Brittany Lutz: [00:02:59] She's always just been Auntie Norb. 

Trista, Host: [00:03:03] And you are like childhood friends that grew up because of childhood friends. Is that right? 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:03:10] Parents parents She is probably the first one that like of my friends that called me Norb. And like spread it around school.

Trista, Host: [00:03:21] So you've been friends forever. tell me a little about your history together as friends. 

Brittany Lutz: [00:03:26] I was starting a new school in fourth grade and my stepdad worked at the mill and knew Norb's, dad, Jerry. And so Jerry took it upon himself to. 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:03:42] Forced me to be friends with her 

Brittany Lutz: [00:03:44] He made her be my friend.I was new to the 

Trista, Host: [00:03:48] school And Norb were you like a willing participant or was it like, Oh no. 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:03:53] Who wants to hang out with the new kid?

Trista, Host: [00:03:56] How did she win you over?

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:04:00] I think. I don't know, really. My dad made us like, ha hang out. Yeah. 

Brittany Lutz: [00:04:06] We spent a lot of time together and I think it just 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:04:10] looking back, I think he just wanted extra help, like in the yard doing chores, child labor, but it worked out,

Trista, Host: [00:04:20] it worked out. And so you've been friends for how long now?

Brittany Lutz: [00:04:24] What did we 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:04:24] just figured this out 20, 24 years? It'll be 25 years. Yeah. Yeah. 

Trista, Host: [00:04:30] So you're pretty young still. 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:04:34] Yeah. I'm 34. I'll be 34 next month. And we've been friends since we were nine. Yeah. Checked our math before we like threw those numbers out. 

Trista, Host: [00:04:45] Totally fine. It's close enough. And so do you anticipate being friends forever?

Like if we had this conversation in your fifties and sixties, would you still be sitting in this freaking cold Jeep together, huddle telling this story 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:04:59] funny you should mention that because actually. It'll probably be me and Brittany's husband in a convertible then. 

Brittany Lutz: [00:05:06] That sounds really really bad. Really bad. 

Trista, Host: [00:05:11] Yeah, it does sound bad.So now you need to explain that. 

Brittany Lutz: [00:05:15] So Norb thinks that my husband is just way cooler than me and they have like a good friendship. So the big joke was if I ever. Kicked the bucket that they're gonna just ride off into the sunset. 

Trista, Host: [00:05:35] So now, if you ever do kick the bucket, the smallest amount of suspicion, we're looking over at them, right?. 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:05:40] She said that 

Brittany Lutz: [00:05:41] Yea I said she better not be plotting anything.

Trista, Host: [00:05:46] Now what's your husband's name? 

Brittany Lutz: [00:05:48] My husband's name is Dave. 

Trista, Host: [00:05:50] Dave. Okay. So Dave, how did you and Dave end up together? 

Brittany Lutz: [00:05:55] Oh, that's, that's a long story. Well we 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:05:59] Probably started with some Busch light too. 

Brittany Lutz: [00:06:02] I was bartending and I was, one of his buddies was asking me for numbers and stuff. And for girls to just set up with his friend, Dave and ended up asking me, well, Hey, would you be interested?

And I said, well, yeah, and so we were supposed to go ice fishing. And I told him that I'm not a morning person. I don't like if my alarm goes off at six o'clock in the morning, I'm probably just going to shut it off. So I might be up and I might not. So he came to pick me up and I wasn't up. So it was a solid year later that we ended up having our first date.

Then that was the end of that. We just,

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:06:54] and now he's my friend, 

Trista, Host: [00:06:56] let's say so now how did Norb get into the whole process? Like what part of your dating history? 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:07:02] I actually beacme friends with him. 

Brittany Lutz: [00:07:06] I don't, 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:07:06] it was way later.

Brittany Lutz: [00:07:07] Yeah. I think that's just because, I mean, we have, we have five kids, so it's like. They're now starting to get old enough that like, we can spend more time together.

It's easier, but, and my husband worked out a town and so it was just, it, it was hard to get together. 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:07:27] She moved away. So like, and then we both kind of were in relationships at the same time, really? Like within a year, both of us, you know, we're like set up in our settling down phase. So yeah. 

Trista, Host: [00:07:41] So Norb you're married too with kids, right? Yes. Yes. And so you, how many kids do you have? 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:07:48] I have two girls. Eight and five. 

 And. Not to make me sound like the weirdo, she, her and my husband are awfully close too and they share a desk at work like, 

Trista, Host: [00:08:00] There's nothing. Untoured nothing untoward going on. Just really close families that hang out together. And it sounds like you've been quarantining together. Which is nice that you have more community and a larger group of people you can be with.

It's been me and my husband and that's it for like a year now. So that's awesome. 

So you had this photo shoot done. So, and I'll have a picture of it up. Actually as the episode artwork, it was done by a professional photographer. It was you two ladies, some beer and a Jeep. I mean, what more could you ask for? So what was the inspiration and what was the background of that? 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:08:44] Well, when we were 18, we. Didn't know what to get our families for Christmas. So we took pictures of ourselves with our dogs and like framed them and gave them to all of our family members for Christmas. So it was whatever, over a decade ago. So we thought, what better time than now to just like recreate that with beer and the Jeep. So 

Trista, Host: [00:09:13] we 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:09:13] were, Oh, that was before, like she had a Saint Bernard or a St. Bernard's. And I had like a little Wiener dog and we took like, we legit did this. Like we were wearing like antlers on our head in front of a fireplace. Like, 

Brittany Lutz: [00:09:28] yeah, they're nice. 

Super corny.

Trista, Host: [00:09:32] That's adorable.

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:09:33] I'm sure everyone. It was their, probably their favorite Christmas gift that year. 

Brittany Lutz: [00:09:38] So we wanted to do that again, but we're going to make them calendars. Yeah. Our photo shoot so that they could just think about us every day when they looked at their calendar. 

Trista, Host: [00:09:52] I love that. Well, the picture's awesome. Like it came out great. And then as I said, I ended up seeing it on a mom's group. So how did it end up getting shared? I don't know if it was considered viral, but it was definitely share all over the place.

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:10:06] Yeah. Yeah. And it gets just, it was like under 80, just under 80,000 shares. 

Trista, Host: [00:10:12] I would call that viral. So we 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:10:14] were like, we were shocked when like five people shared it. We're like, what the heck? 

Trista, Host: [00:10:20] You didn't expect it to have the kind of excitement it did. 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:10:23] We like joked, like we wore those drink, Wisconsinbly shirts, just like as funny, like, Oh, that'd be like, cool.

Cause my daughter, a couple of years ago, my youngest daughter had a Drink Wisconsinbly like can koozie on a water bottle. And they had picked her. They seen her photograph and had picked her as like the person of the day. And so. That like 

Brittany Lutz: [00:10:48] it was, our goal was to have. 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:10:49] I don't even think it was really a goal though. Like, I don't think we, I think, like, I don't think we thought it would really happen at least I didn't.

Brittany Lutz: [00:10:56] No, I didn't really think it would happen. We were hoping that they would share it. 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:11:00] Yeah.If we wore those shirts Yeah. 

Brittany Lutz: [00:11:03] The photographer is a friend of mine, Ashley Herek, and she. I mean, she just is phenomenal. Yeah, it 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:11:13] did. Actually. We, I think how we started talking about the pictures was because my daughter, so we had family photos and she's like pretty, probably like the biggest one around.

Here like photographer. wise you know what I mean? Yeah. And so we had family pictures with her. We had waited like months, my family and my daughter, my lovely five-year-old daughter cut herself a mullet the week before our pictures. So it was bad. I kept the mullet and then I, I pinned in the back of her hair up.

So. Like in our family pictures, you couldn't really tell, but so at the end of our photo shoot, I took her hair down and then my husband and my other daughter, and I. Got mullet wigs off of Amazon. And so those were included in our family photos. Also these mullet, like, rocker pictures. 

Trista, Host: [00:12:09] Oh myGoodness, I love it. Now, did that make the calendar cut? The mullet pictures, 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:12:15] Actually, we felt like our fame was enough that our family should just be proud of us and we didn't even go forward with the camera, the calendar. 

Brittany Lutz: [00:12:25] I honestly think that everybody is so sick of us. Yeah. And our families because of our Facebook fame. 

Everywhere 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:12:33] we go. 

Trista, Host: [00:12:34] Yeah. I mean, cause now you're famous.

You're Facebook famous. 

Brittany Lutz: [00:12:38] Yeah. So nobody really cares to see our pictures anymore. 

Trista, Host: [00:12:44] I was going to ask you. So did your family love this picture? As much as the internet did. 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:12:50] I think my mom was the only hater. She wasn't like negative about it, but she's like, wow, I'm really proud of you guys. Then she ended up being the biggest, like support she checked how many shares we had, like every hour. 

Brittany Lutz: [00:13:08] Yeah, she'd be like messaging us. You guys are up to this many. 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:13:11] So she came around. 

Trista, Host: [00:13:16] So we have to give a nod to the Jeep because the Jeep community, like you said, like people name their Jeeps. And tell me a little story about how this Jeep came to be into your life. 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:13:26] My dad always had like a couple of Jeeps growing up. Like I learned my first vehicle I learned to drive in was an old Jeep, but so we have children and so we got more like vehicles that practical Israel's for, like, for, you know, like babies and, but my kids are getting older now.

And in January I spotted this Jeep down from the shop that my family owns. And I was like, man, I like really want that. And like, I was obsessed. I had it on my w my wallpaper on my phone. We would drive by it numerous times. I like looked up the color. It was bikini, Pearl. And so everyone, like, we referred to it as my Jeep and it was nowhere close to at that time.

But so months went by and, you know, even the pandemic, I feel like played a part in this whole thing a little bit. So the schools closed. I had like my knee, I was watching my niece, my nephew a couple of days. Like I cut my hours way back at work to take care of my kids. I feel like I had your kids lot.

Like I was just, I like really put. My like life on hold to like help everybody around me. My husband like left his job that he had been at for over a decade and went to like work for my family business. And so when mother's day rolled around, they were, I feel like my family was messing with me the whole week.

Like my husband was like, Oh, you're going to love your present. And my mom was making comments. Like, everyone's just really hopeful that. You get this Jeep and, you know, we're all like rooting for you. And, and so mother's day rolled around. I had been working. And I, the whole week they were like saying stuff like that.

So I thought, man, I know this is like crazy. Like people don't expect to get vehicles for mother's day, but in my head, I was like, man, I've really been doing a lot for these guys. I bet they do love me. And they're going to give me this Jeep and then it was gone. It was at the dealership I was looking at, it was gone.

Trista, Host: [00:15:32] And you noticed when it left, because to watch for it and look at it, right? 

Brittany Lutz: [00:15:36] These 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:15:36] guys bought me this cheap. I know it. So I came home from work and my brother was here. So it's not unusual for him to be here, but it was late like 10 o'clock at night. And so I was like, I bet he's here to videotape my reaction when they give me my Jeep. So I like showered.

I got ready for the presentation of these Jeep keys. I was devastated when I was presented with some handmade cards 

Brittany Lutz: [00:16:09] And a hanging basket..

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:16:10] And a hanging basket. Yeah. So needless to say I cried a lot. Yeah, I wasn't like ungrateful. I just, I really. Well, 

Trista, Host: [00:16:19] it sounds like they built you up to have your hopes up too.

Yeah, well, it has a happy ending you're sitting in the Jeep. So how did this go from tears to cheers? 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:16:33] It's mother's day was Sunday, Monday. I did like the pre-approval application and I drove it home Tuesday. 

Brittany Lutz: [00:16:41] So you 

Trista, Host: [00:16:41] said F You you I'm getting my Jeep, now you've messed with me. That's it? 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:16:48] Yeah. That's how it happened. 

Trista, Host: [00:16:52] All right.

Well, but you said it was missing from the lot? 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:16:55] Well, it w yeah, that, so that one, I don't know whatever happened to that one, but in a town near here. It was like 20 miles. Cause my kids were like devastated too. They were like, they, I mean, it was months. Like we were looking at this Jeep, like they, my kids referred to it as mom's Jeep when we would drive by.

So I think it was that Monday, actually. I think it was my brother that like spotted one in Stevens point, like. Maybe 20 miles from where we live when, he was working. And so we like went and stalked this Jeep on that Monday and then Tuesday, I brought it at home.

Trista, Host: [00:17:32] And it's the right color. And it's the right color and everything too?

Which Jeep is it? 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:17:40] It's a 2020 Wrangler. The JL model. Which happened to be my initials. And so I thought like this was totally destined to be Hello!,

Trista, Host: [00:17:50] meant to be. Now you've mentioned, Norb have you've mentioned your family business a few times and Brittany, I think you work for the family business and now your husband works for the family business. So let's talk about this family business. What is the business? 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:18:09] It is Crockett Septic. So they, they pumped up the tanks and holding tanks.

And my dad started it when I was in like junior high, going into high school. And so obviously like the nickname, it was super embarrassing. Like he would drop me off at school, in the subject truck, like, but then my parents are divorced and my dad went to Iraq. And ended up selling the business to my mom and her boyfriend.

So they have had it now, like, I don't know, I think like 10 years or so. Yeah, like 10, 11 years. And my mom, when my dad had it, he had like a couple of septic trucks and then maybe like 10 port-a-potties, but my 

Brittany Lutz: [00:18:58] mom just started getting into the portal. I think 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:19:00] he had 'em and then like got rid of them. He never was like big into the port-a-potty thing.

Thing, but my mom and George, her boyfriend have like, totally expanded this port-a-potty it's like huge around here. So like we have events that they go to and take like close to 200 port-a-potties to some more. Big deal. 

Trista, Host: [00:19:27] Wow. Do they have any portable luxury too? 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:19:33] They've got family units they that have like a baby changing station.

There's handicap units, the hand-washing stations, you know, but I think the big thing that like that stands them all is they're super particular about the cleaning and. And they keep 

Brittany Lutz: [00:19:57] events. They, they decorate the insides and they're just way cleaner than. Other places. 

Trista, Host: [00:20:09] Well, it sounds like. It sounds like you guys have lots of fun. You find lots of ways to entertain your kids and yourselves and your family.

What kinds of stuff have you been enjoying doing together as a family or as families to get through this whole pandemic? Cause I know it's been really hard for a lot of people. 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:20:27] We bought a pool and then Brittany basically hauled her camper here. And we've, we camped all summer 

Brittany Lutz: [00:20:36] when we do that. We like to camp in the summertime and the 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:20:40] kids would have dirt bikes and four wheelers and outdoor stuff.

Trista, Host: [00:20:46] Yeah. That's fun. So you have a lot of hobbies that work really well in a social distancing stay outside kind of setting. Yeah, 

Brittany Lutz: [00:20:54] but it's kind of, I mean, with, with Norb really helps me out, like, because I just started working away from home. So now she helps me with yeah. Cause I was home for 10 years. I did in-home daycare while my, while my kids were really little.

So. Yeah. So now I just started working for Crockett septic and I work. Also for modern image, right near me, I'm doing bookkeeping and stuff. So she helps me a lot with daycare. And so we, with this pandemic, I mean, we were always together anyway, so it was nice to be able to haul the camper over here.

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:21:41] And we rented a skating rink like a couple of weeks ago and privately had all the kids go. It was like an old one. Like there's no rollerblading, no like skateboarding, none of that stuff. It was like legit old school roller skates. 

Trista, Host: [00:21:58] Like when I was a kid 

Brittany Lutz: [00:22:01] super fun. 

Trista, Host: [00:22:05] Just say it was dangerous. 

Brittany Lutz: [00:22:07] I could roller blade probably not anymore, but I used to be able to rollerblade well and getting on the roller skates.

I was scared. 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:22:16] My oldest daughter is a good rollerblader and she, yeah. Had her roller skates on and was like, was not having that. She was like, I can't do. And then when we got ours on, I was like, Oh man, I owe you an apology. This is hard. 

Trista, Host: [00:22:35] Ohh my gosh. You know, I was, I'm about to be 50. So I was like, that's what you did when I was in junior high is you went to the roller rink every weekend. I don't know if there's night, Friday when it, whatever it was, they had the whole take your skates off and slow dance in your socks. They had like the really crappy pizza and the, you know, video games.

It was like what you did. And then later, When rollerblading came out, I got really into that and we would take our roller blades to the beach and, you know, rollerblade all along the boardwalk and all kinds of stuff. And then we were cleaning out our house and I found my roller blades and the pads and the know kind of stuff.

I'm like, I'm going roller plating. I end up on this little cul-de-sac and I fall and I'm like, I've fallen and I can't get up. Like I couldn't get up cause I'm in the skates. And I, I just, I, you know, my body was shaped differently than it was when I rollerbladed the last time. So I actually, I can't believe I'm telling you this on a podcast, like actually like crawled on my knees to the closest driveway.

And I used the back bumper of the car to get myself situated and I ended up taking the. Rollerblades off and walking home in my socks. That was so 

Brittany Lutz: [00:23:59] good. 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:23:59] Follow up to Brittany 

Brittany Lutz: [00:24:00] story though. 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:24:02] Like she used to also just last week, 

Brittany Lutz: [00:24:06] Friday, actually with our photographer

and another and another mom in our area, we had a nice friendly game of basketball and I. I went down, so I kind of jumped forward and I felt a big pop in my knee. And so long story short, I have an appointment tomorrow with the orthopedic person. Oh man. He can look at my ACL. So.

No Busch light involved either.

Trista, Host: [00:24:51] So it was Busch, like the official beer of Wisconsin. Is it from Wisconsin? 

Brittany Lutz: [00:24:56] No, no. We actually caught a 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:24:58] lot of heat for that. And actually, you know, I do drink Miller light. That is a Wisconsin beer, and that is what I typically drink. And I mean, I drink Busch light too, but. Brittany didn't want two different types of beer in the photo shoot.

So that was why we did both have Busch light.

Brittany Lutz: [00:25:22] We should have had Miller, light and point. 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:25:25] Yeah. 

Trista, Host: [00:25:25] Well, that's still a really good photo. So what else do you want to share? 

Brittany Lutz: [00:25:28] I think, I think it's pretty comical though. Cause like Norm's mom thinks that our co-dependency is what she calls us. Yeah. Codependent . She thinks it's getting a little out of control. That's 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:25:41] what she said about the photo shoot.

She's like who knew. What 2020 needed was just like some drunk pictures of you two floating around the internet.

Brittany Lutz: [00:25:54] So we just never thought it was going to amount to what it did. I mean, you know, yeah. There's no way. I mean, we laughed about, Oh, we're probably going to go viral 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:26:03] and then. 

Brittany Lutz: [00:26:05] Like man, there's a lot of people that have seen this it's kind of alarming. Like I seen there's some guy that had our picture, like as his Facebook profile, like that's kinda creepy.

Trista, Host: [00:26:18] Oh my gosh. Yeah. 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:26:20] Yup. That Jeep, underground magazine. Wanted us to give a littleinfo, for their magazine spread. We don't know when the issue for that is coming out yet, but we did do that. I dunno. I just feel like people should know our friendship is like genuine, you know, like we still have sleepovers.

Brittany Lutz: [00:26:42] Yeah. Our husbands are real big fans of that. They 

Trista, Host: [00:26:46] don't. I mean, that is a question I have, like, are your husband's supportive that you are like, maybe I don't know, as close with each other as you are to them, maybe? 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:26:56] I would say I'm probably closer to Brittany. 

Trista, Host: [00:26:59] I mean, I didn't want to go there. I did not want to go there.

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:27:07] My husband is I think her husband. Enjoys hanging out with me and my presence, but I don't think he's so onboard with just like when we want to just like have a movie night, like yeah. My husband will fully take the couch for Brittany to take his spot and our bed. And David's just not there yet.

Brittany Lutz: [00:27:34] I think for the longest time though, because we were so busy with our own lives. That this whole spending so much time together is a little bit new for 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:27:44] him. Yeah, that's true. The other thing is like with the family dynamic, like both of our husbands work they're, like all summer, like sunup to sundown, they're gone all the time.

So I kind of I've said before, like I feel like even we kind of take on like the father roles a little bit in the summer time of each other's kids when they're working so much, you know, Yeah. Yeah. 

Trista, Host: [00:28:09] Well, I just love how close you are because you've, I'm sure it really helped you, especially this year .

I mean, nobody will argue that you are super fun ladies. I've really enjoyed having you on. But I always like to turn the table before we wrap up and see if you have a question for me. Sure.

Do you guys have a question? 

Brittany Lutz: [00:28:27] Did you think of one?

I know we were going to wait. That was the whole big plan is we were going to have a really good one for you.

Trista, Host: [00:28:40] I'm glad that you didn't. Cause it probably would have been a doozie between the two of you. 

Brittany Lutz: [00:28:46] Have you ever participated in any of like the poop jobs? Like, have you ever gone on a poop job with your friends, with your friends? 

Trista, Host: [00:29:03] That is a great question. And it is a resounding no, thank you. In fact, I have a very low tolerance for gross.

And so if I'm helping them with their social media or whatever, it has to pass my gross test for me to post it. you know, there's home Depot buckets, the orange ones. They're like pretty big. It was, I can't even, it was like overfilled with wipes that people had flushed the clogged, the system. And she sent it to me, my friend Sharon, she sent the owner. She's like here, these are great... posts these! I'm like, no.

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:29:44] I think we should get a vanity plate on one of the poop trucks and then do another whole segment on just that like 

Trista, Host: [00:29:54] I would love to, because one of my, yeah, abs when I'm working with, I mostly work with the CEO Sharon and one of my jobs is to make her blog about stories, like 

Stories, like stories about like weird jobs, interesting jobs, you know?

You found an entire tree root system in the pipe or whatever else. And she'll send me these pictures and she'll be like, look at this picture. This is so amazing. And I'm like, it's, , dirt, like there's nothing going on in this photo. Clearly the story. Is what makes it interesting, but I don't get it. 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:30:28] That's like the enthusiasm my husband has. He called, like, he calls it, finding treasures when he's like pumping port-a-potties. He's found jewelry, things that I probably wouldn't mention on here.

Wrenches pipe wrenches to like different tools, money, like phones, all sorts of stuff. 

Trista, Host: [00:30:48] Well, Sharon's husband started the business he has a ton of stories like that.

Of, you know, he, I think he helped a dog escape from a septic tank once, or maybe he found a deer. 

But I would love to do an entire episode about Crocket septic. So you get that vanity plate and we will book another time 

Jessica Linzmeier: [00:31:11] we got to do that. 

Trista, Host: [00:31:13] Awesome. Well, I am so happy to have had you both on, I really appreciate you saying yes when I reached out from your viral photo on the internet, 

But I really appreciate you taking some time and being cold. So you'll be able to go back into your warm houses and enjoy the rest of your day. 

Brittany Lutz: [00:31:35] Well, thank you for having me. 

Absolutely. Bye-bye.
