Speaker 1 (00:00):
So you wrote Jason on our idea sheet, Yeah, what
makes you feel like you have your s together? For me?
And this is you. Yeah, having mint in my car
to offer people, I feel like an adult.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Yes, like going I went into a gas station, I
have the wherewithal, it's a plan ahead and be like,
my breath may be bad at some point, so let
me get some mints. And then I have a mint
tin in my car and I can be like, would
you like one? Like this makes me feel so like mature,
an adult.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Not the fact that you're on a you know, a
small radio program. Not the fact that you have an
executive title. No, not the fact that you you know,
I would pay your bills and graduated college knowing you
have a mint tiny. I feel that way when I
have a plant in my house. Oh yeah, that's like
if there's a plan, I feel like I got it together.

(00:54):
Like I not only am I able to do the basics,
but I put a little a koutermat there's a little
bow on it, and there's a there's a little plant
over here. See look at this like it's something living
in my house that I'm responsible for. You, I'm able
to do it. That is real you cared for you.
That makes you feel what makes you feel like you're
a grown up.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
Mine is filling the dishwasher because it's already such a
task and I like to get it perfect and fit
as much as I can. And I grew up with one,
So to me, I'm like, this is like I'm an
adult and I can do it.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
And you've got your act together. You've got the dishwasher,
you know how to load it properly, you're using it.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
I'm using it as a big deal for me. Okay,
we never used it. We throw like whatever, like tupperware
stuff in there.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
That puny to me. Like, growing up, we had the
dishwasher like it was it was a staple. Yes, every
day we had to use.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
The number of people that I'm learning grew up with
a dishwasher that they weren't allowed to use. Hello, what
was you had that? So? What was the purpose, Kiki?
Why did you have a Maybe that's the topic is
what was the product? What was the product in your
home that you had that you weren't allowed to use It?
For a lot of people was the front well in
the Midwest they call it the unchroom. Yeah, but for
a lot of people. It was the living room. There

(02:03):
was a living room and there was nice furniture in it,
but it was for a lot of people. It was
covered up or it was just no, you don't get
to go in there, like only company gets to go
in there. It's like we wait, evente, what do we
have this for it? Like this should be something usable.
Why did you have a dishwasher? What was the explanation
as to why you? I mean, it worked, it.

Speaker 4 (02:19):
Worked perfectly fine. And I really need to talk to
Helena about that because like out of all the rules
she had in our house, like why did you stand
on business about that one? But I think she was
just concerned that we would break it over use it.
And then the one time I snuck and try to
use it, there were SUTs all down the street. So
because I used dish liquid instead of a.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yeah, no, maybe that's why. Maybe that's why you weren't
allow to use the dishwasher because you didn't know how
to use it.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
Yes, And there was so many people in our house.
I used to feel like I was washing dishes for
a shelter. Yeah, Like I feel like they wouldn't got
the neighbors dishes. Yeah, and brought them over so I
can watch them.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Like, oh, so it's the logic, like if it breaks,
it'd be too expensive, or if it's too expensive to
run it, or like, what was the logic? I really
think that's what it was.

Speaker 4 (03:03):
Like maybe she thought it was too expensive to run it,
but I've heard that it actually saves money.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
I don't know that lady just had a weird rule.
I think you use less water with a dishwasher than
you do if you just let the sink run. So
that's what I heard. That's the lumor I heard. Is
that a rumor?

Speaker 4 (03:17):
I think?

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Were you googled that? Paulinais that's the word on the street.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
I think the streets are talking because I used to
like when I can use it, but I couldn't know.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
I really want, I really want to know. No, I
think that's correct.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
Well, I lived in California for like what a year
and a half after college, and I put like two
dishes in there and I ran it and my roommates
the girls lost it. You're like, well, first time we.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Got a drought. Number one, I wear California Number two.
Don't use it. Modern dishwashers are generally more environmentally friendly
than handwashing, especially if you have an Energy Star certified
or new or mode. You know, I knew by the
way this is. This is how lazy said. That's actually
not bad. But I'm so lazy about Google. I just
sort of typed stuff. I don't even bother to spell

(03:58):
it right, right, I just try and some semblance of
a sentence, just to see, is a dish washer w
A S E R. This is my Google search better
for environment, And I got what I needed, But it
is a dishaser. That's actually that actually made kind of
coherence sense. But a lot of times I just sort
of try and get close, like sort of like words

(04:21):
that spelled ride, and somehow it knows what I mean. Yes,
apparently using a dishwasher is better for your environment. But okay,
so now.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
We know it says it uses less water. So the
whole tired to washing dishes by hand.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
So someone typed They texted us glorified drying rack Asian household.
So I assume that's what So they type us. They
text to us the way that I type into Google.
Just a few words together, you figure it out. My
parents thought it would use hundreds and thousands of water

(04:53):
someone wrote yes, yeahs of water, hundreds of thousands of water.
Tony wrote the thermostat. Okay, we're all just talking in
code this morning. I assume you mean like you get
to adjust the thermostat and that makes you feel like
you've got it together. Oh yeah, yeah. Lately for me,
feeling like I have it together is like I've tried

(05:14):
to clean up my diet a little bit. And the
McDonald's that was in our office building that closed really
helped because it turned out that that was my grocery
store apparently, And so now that it's not there anymore,
I have to find other means of food. Also, the
judgment of the guy that works in the parking garage,
I finally just I had it. I love him. His
name is Abraham. I love him so much. He's a

(05:35):
very very kind, good man, and he's in charge of
the parking garage. And when I go down each day,
I usually have some form of food item from the
office building to take home to eat for lunch, and
I will get commentary on what that item is, like, well,
you know that's not real food, right, And then I
get a whole speech about it, what they put in it,
and on this, I'm like, hey, you know, I never
said it was I never said this was a good decision.

(05:58):
I never said this was nutrition. I never said this
was a good idea, nor did IX for your opinion.
But it's going in my face free will, and I'm
gonna eat it. But honestly, now I don't the shaming
is working because I don't go down there with that stuff. Well,
mainly because I can't because it's not here anymore, but
also because I just don't want the shame, so I
don't buy anything else. But then I got all kinds
like fruits and vegetables at the house, and maybe I've

(06:18):
been trying to eat that stuff, but I actually feel
worse because I feel like I over consume the fruit,
and then that makes that makes my stomach hurt and
feel bad. But I'm like, wait a minute, So is
there no food that I can overeat? Is there nothing
in life that I can overindulge in? Nothing at all?
I don't think, so like I'm over here, like, oh,
if I eat all this fruit, well then that's got
to be better than well, then I have no energy,

(06:40):
and I like and my stomach hurts because I eat
too much fruit. Ye too sweet.

Speaker 4 (06:44):
But but but if you don't eat it, then you
let it go to waste, and now you've wasted so
much money.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Right, It's like, you know, what do? What do I do?
But I'm over here with bananas and carrots and you know,
chicken breast in my refrigerator and I'm eating this stuff
and then I'm like, why did I feel good? Which
it's like, so this is too clean? Is it too nice?
Is it too good? And here I had groceries in
the fridge. I thought I had my life together, like
Jason does when he gets in his car can offer
someone a Mantum'm like, guys, I have a cilantro in

(07:09):
the fridge.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
I'm still like confused about that though, Jason, like, who
exactly is getting your vehicle? Are?

Speaker 1 (07:15):
We? Like? Are you an uber driv on a loan?
I know you doorgas on the side, but like, yeah,
do you have water bottles in your tooler with charger?
How the temperature? Do you have an iPad on the
head rest that faces survey? And I can play solitarire

(07:37):
the next even in your car's a dream
