Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Hey, imagine that, two millennials doing a podcast to
avoid legalizing the purge. Yeah, probably because they
can't afford therapy. This is mostly true opinions.
Oh yeah, it is mostly true opinions.

(00:23):
Hi. I am Cameron that is KDK comedy
recording as we live by the seatof our pants in the car.
As we live in free. Monday it is.
What is it? Halfway through June, we're
living, like I said, by the seatof our pants.

(00:45):
We thank you for being here. How are you, babe?
You know, I'm doing better than other Mondays, I guess, and I
wish I could say the same for you, but you're like down a body
part. Listen, something happened to me
that has never happened before in my life.
I was driving to a friend's house a couple of days ago and

(01:10):
all of a sudden I felt somethingin my mouth.
And that's something in my mouth, fell out of my mouth.
And it turns out it was a filling, maybe part of a tooth.
I don't really know. I'm not a dentist.
I think it was just a filling honey.
I hope it was just a filling. It's just a very foreign feeling

(01:32):
to have something fall out of your mouth because again, I was
not eating anything, I was not drinking anything.
I was just simply living. You were just existing and it
just yeded itself out of your mouth.
Yeah. Yeah, it did.
And then it just I I. Didn't even know this product
existed. I had no idea that there was

(01:54):
like bloody that they sold at CVS that you could just place
into your broken filling and it would help.
I have to say, YouTube, Google, they're beautiful things.
You don't have to go to medical school anymore.
You don't have to go to dental school.
You can just Google what to do. And the second that my tooth

(02:15):
fell apart, I Googled what happens if a filling falls out?
What do you do? Because dentists are notorious,
even in an emergency situation to put off dental appointments
and things like that. And so I was panicked.
It was a Sunday. I didn't really know what to do.
And Google said, go to CVS and get this filling cement

(02:39):
essentially, I think it's called.
And it's essentially like Silly Putty that you ball up in your
fingers and put on your tooth hole.
Sure. And then I don't understand how
science works, but moisture makes it harden and dry.
Yeah, sure. I don't really get it.

(02:59):
I don't get it. How long is it supposed to last?
Because now it's been over a daythat you've had it in there and
you're eating and drinking and Idon't feel like that's good.
It said on the thing that it could last a couple of weeks.
What, like 1? And.
One insertion of it could last that.
Long No, I'll be honest. I'll be honest.

(03:21):
Like, I am thoroughly impressed because when I first put it in
my tooth hole, it was very dexterous, very spongy, and I
thought there's no way in hell this is going to stay put.
And it took all of about 5 or 6 minutes.
It hardened up. Now it's like concrete in my
mouth. Do you feel like the which?

(03:42):
Begs the question, do you do I even need to go to the dentist?
Go ahead, Sorry. Obviously you need to go to the
dentist, but did you like flush it out and clean it good before
you shove the shit in? I did, yeah.
I said to do warm water and saltand all that stuff.
Are you sure? Is there like food in there?
No, no, I did it so quickly after it happened because that's

(04:05):
exactly what I was worried about.
Because when I Googled it, it also was saying all the horror
stories, as you can imagine, about people getting infections
and things like that. And I was like, yeah, no, I'm
not going to do that. You.
Need to get into the dentist. I think you should just drive
there and walk in and force themto see you.

(04:27):
That's not how they work though,you know that.
I don't know that I've never tried it.
It is bullshit though. I called them, left a voicemail,
called again today, they didn't answer.
They didn't return my call. I don't understand why it's so
complicated to get a dentist appointment.
I literally the last time I madeone, it was I think like

(04:49):
November and I called and I saidI need a cleaning routine,
whatever appointment. And they said, yeah, we can see
you in April. I don't understand that.
OK, I feel like you just need togo to a different dentist.
I also don't get how they're that busy because no one I know
is going to the dentist regularly.
So who are these people that aregoing to the dentist all the

(05:10):
time? There are people, and I
literally talked to one of them at work today.
There are people that, dare I say it, enjoy going to the
dentist. Why?
What? What do you mean?
Enjoy it. They said they like the feeling
of the dentist, like picking thefood out of their teeth and

(05:30):
cleaning them up. And I'm like, I understand if
you if you enjoy the end result,but the process of it you can't
possibly enjoy. But he did, and how often the
guy worked said he loved it. How?
Often does he go. Like a psychopath every three
months. What?
Three months at a time. Can you just ask?

(05:51):
If you can, take one of his standing appointments.
That's a good idea, honestly. There's.
I couldn't believe that. There's got to be a better way.
Like they have all these one medical like places that you can
just book an appointment on an app and you're telling me
there's not a dentist a stop andshop, one stop shop grab and go
dentist situation? I know there has to be, but why

(06:17):
aren't? Dentists like those hair salons
were hair cutter or what are they called where?
Hair cutter Barber. Where where people can rent a
chair and then Commission. Like basically it's a salon and
then each Barber rents a chair and then they see their clients

(06:40):
or whatever. Why can't it be like that but
for dentist where there's a dentist place and then all the
hygienist rent a chair? I don't know, I feel like that's
a dangerous precedent. Why?
Imagine, Because imagine going to the Fantastic Sam's of dental
work. OK, You know what I mean?

(07:02):
There's like, there's like a 40%chance you get a good haircut at
Fantastic Sam's or Great Clips, and the other 60% of the time
you're going to walk out of there going, yeah, I wish I
would have done something different.
You don't want that with your teeth.
Fine. You know what I mean?
Sure. That being said, I was thinking

(07:23):
this is an opportune time to laydown with a dentist and say
listen while you're going in there and repairing his.
Tooth to Make Love to a dentist.To bed a dentist, no.
But to sit down and go, OK, you have this repair to do, you can

(07:44):
do it if you want. But also, I'm ready for the full
shebang. I want veneers.
I want a fresh start. Give it to.
Me. What's it going to take?
30 grand is probably what they would say.
You really think it would be $30,000?
Yes, I'm embarrassed to say I'vepriced it out many times.

(08:04):
Oh God, but also I was thinking about like, we watched.
What is that show we watched? I should have added that to my
game show wish list. That's see, mistakes were made.
The only thing I was going to say is, you know, the the show
we watch, what is it called? Temptation Island.

(08:25):
Yeah. We have host Mark Wahlberg.
Not that Mark Wahlberg. The other Mark Wahlberg, yes.
Yes, he has veneers and they're like so white, so fluorescent
white that you look at them and go, those are absolutely fake.
I think I would be more strategic.

(08:47):
I would sit down with the dentist or surgeon or whoever
and say I want perfect teeth, but I want you to tint them
slightly not yellow, but like porcelain white or eggshell
white so that they're believable.
Yeah, sell it. Sell it to me.
Because you, you know the peopleI'm talking about where it's

(09:09):
like they talk different and also their teeth are blinding
the. People you're talking about
basically have permanent dentures.
Yes, exactly. It's not really like really
believable veneers. It's just like Halloween
dentures. It's true.
It's true. Which I guess in the meantime we

(09:31):
could buy you dentures. Hey, I'm not above it.
I'll be honest with you. I'm pretty open to anything at
this point and when it comes to,the only thing I ask is if they
have to do anything aside from afilling if they want to do my
veneers or if they need to pull something or I don't know.
God knows what they're going to do.

(09:52):
If it's anything more than a filling, I want to be put under.
Why? Because it it's much.
Imagine that you take a nap. You wake up with perfect teeth.
Yeah, but being put under is like its own whole thing.
Are you going to be a puss? It's fine.
No, I love being put under. OK.

(10:15):
I love that feeling of sitting there and the doctor's like, oh,
count backwards from 10:00 and you're like 10.
Nah. You like that?
And then that's it. Oh yeah, I love it.
OK. Love it.
Best I've ever slept in my life.Oh my God.
OK it sounds terrible but I do remember when I got my wisdom

(10:39):
teeth taken out first and foremost I woke up and the
curtain to my right was vines and flowers and stuff and it was
like going crazy. The other thing I remember, it
was the first time in my life that I was prescribed like a
painkiller like Vicodin or Oxycontin or I forget what I

(11:00):
had. And I have never slept better in
my entire life. Yeah.
And I thought to myself like I totally get why people get
addicted to this shit. For the good sleep.
Yes, I get it. Sure, it's good stuff.
OK, I have I have a question now, a total pivot but whatever.

(11:25):
I'm starting to think the new way of the world is voice notes.
What are your thoughts on this? It's concerning why it's
concerning. What do you mean?
Here's the thing, I love all of the people that you are
currently voice noting with. I love all of these people.

(11:46):
They're very good friends. I mean them no disrespect.
That said, it is at the point atthis moment in time where I
think to myself, would it not beeasier to just have a phone
call? No, because we aren't free at
the same times. I guess I just always feel when

(12:08):
I do voice notes myself I feel creepy.
Why? 'Cause I just feel like I, I
don't know, I, I feel very self-conscious about somebody
else watching me leave a voice note.
How do they know it's a voice note versus a phone call versus
like how do you how do they know?

(12:30):
'Cause I'm sitting there talkingto my phone but not holding it
up to my face. I guess I don't know.
I it's a very normal thing. A lot of people do it, but I
just, I love receiving them. I feel weird about sending them.
Does that make sense? For someone that's in
podcasting, I don't get, I don'tget you.

(12:52):
You record yourself talking all the time, but you feel weird
about a podcast is basically a long voice note.
You're not wrong, I don't. I don't know what it is and it's
probably a personal complex thatI have, but I just feel weird
about it. What?
Percentage of people do you think use voice notes and what
demographic? OK, I think of iPhone users, I

(13:19):
think 10% use voice notes. What?
And yeah, and I think the main demographic is millennials.
You don't think Gen. Z is voice noting?
Absolutely not. In fact, I brought it up to I
have a bunch of Gen. Z people that work for me.

(13:39):
You. Brought it up.
Yes, and they all think it's weird and creepy.
What? Yep, they do did.
You tell them about me. No, I just asked what their
general opinion was and most of them were like, yeah, it's
weird. Why did they Did they give any
explanations? No, they just were like, I think

(14:02):
it's when people, here's what they said.
When people leave a voice note, they're not actually talking in
their real voice what they're putting on.
And I and I kind of get what they're saying.
They're putting on a performance.
They're going, hey, so whenever you get this and it's like, no,
that's not how you actually talk.

(14:23):
Just like a voicemail but not having to call you first.
You're skipping right to the voicemail part.
It's a voicemail, but 27 minuteslong.
No, I don't leave 27 minute longones, That's other people.
No, I know. But it's interesting.
I think that with Gen. Z and Gen.

(14:44):
Alpha, yes, I'm hip. I know the generations.
I think that the pendulum is starting to swing in the other
direction. I was literally talking to them
today. You were in.
Touch with the people. Yes, I am a man of the peoples.
I was talking to them today about how they have a bunch of
them have friends that have purchased, I shit you not

(15:07):
blackberries on eBay to because everyone is getting over
inundated by the constant connection.
OK. It's just constant.
It's we're all on our phones allthe time and Gen.
Z, Gen. Alpha, they're the ones that are
bringing back digital cameras and, you know, all kinds of

(15:31):
stuff. And it's, I think everyone at a
human level is craving person toperson connection.
But isn't a voice note not over inundating you?
And it's like the happy medium where you're not getting like
1000 text messages, you're getting a interpersonal like
connection because it's someone's voice.

(15:52):
Like how is that not meshing with their new logic?
No, I think, I think you're probably right about that.
But again, I think most ascent, I will say my sample size is not
very big, so don't take what I'msaying with a grain of salt, but
I think that a lot of them don'tlike again leaving 1:00, but

(16:16):
they enjoy receiving one. I think everyone feels a little
odd. It's kind of like, remember back
in the 2000s, late 2000s, early 2000 tens, when a bunch of
people had the Sprint cell phones that acted like walkie
talkies? I guess I never used one, but
yeah. I never used one, but you know

(16:38):
the sound I'm talking about whensomebody had something on their
belt holster that went like and they listened to it essentially
voice noting and people for whatever reason felt a little
odd about that because you're holding it up near your face but
not on your ear. It's just like a weird social
thing. I don't really know how to
explain it, but I get what they're saying to an extent.

(17:01):
There's people who leave voice notes with their normal voice,
their normal, what's the word? I'm searching for the tone of
voice, the inflection, sure. And then there's people who kind
of put on an act or I don't know, they're a little extra.
I don't know. I kind of get it.

(17:22):
I think it's kind of on the samepage as, and you're probably
going to disagree with this, butit's kind of on the same page as
sharing your location with somebody.
OK. It's like you can do it, but do
you really need to, you know? Yeah, but do I want to receive
paragraphs and paragraphs of text and have to read through it

(17:43):
and respond and type? Or do I just want to talk as I'm
driving and leave a voice note and they can listen to it when
they get a chance? No, listen, I, I think that's a
good application, but I will sayI have enjoyed them more since
the iPhone started. Doing the transcript like you
will send me, you don't do it constantly to me, but every now

(18:05):
and then a couple times a week you'll send me one.
And if I am like around other people or and I'm on a call or a
meeting or whatever, it's nice that I can read the transcript.
I always listen to it when I can.
Oh, I was just going to say, So you don't actually listen to
them, you just read them. No, no, I do both.

(18:26):
I read it initially and then determine like I usually respond
off the reading and then I also listen to it because I do like
it is a nice little break from work.
Sounds cheesy but when I'm at work and I get a voice note from
you, I like it. But I will say I like when you
send me voice notes. I don't really like when anybody

(18:49):
else does. Who else has even sent you a
voice note? Just random people, like I work
with people that do it occasionally.
I can't. There's been a couple handful of
other times and it's not like crazy offensive, but it feels so
intimate to me. So I don't know how to fire a
close few people, honestly. My yeah, the person that I've

(19:13):
started doing what it was is like one of my best friends and
she's self aware and she calls them her podcast where she's
sending me like 17 minute, 24 minute voice notes.
And then I just listen to them when I'm driving and I treat
them like a podcast. Yeah, that's a good, that's a
good call. Which, by the way, they did

(19:35):
release a new feature you showedme where you can slow down the
voice notes or speed them up. Yeah, you can listen to it on
1.51.752 times speed. Now I don't recommend it if you
have a friend that already kind of talks fast or talks at a
normal speed because then it'll give you anxiety.
But if you have a friend that talks really slow or takes a

(19:56):
while to get to the point, you can speed up their choice if you
hold it down. Yeah, you can.
Also, I have friends that still didn't know you could schedule a
text. And I've.
Oh yeah, I have been the person to show the light to a few
people recently and it does feelgood.
Feel good. It's exhilarating, but it's not
obvious. Like it's not an obvious button

(20:18):
or whatever. It's on that menu that you have
to kind of go down or whatnot, but.
But I love it. I schedule text all the time.
I do too, it's kind of nice. I schedule emails a lot too.
But you can't schedule an e-mailon your phone, you have to do it
on your laptop, right? You do have to do it on your
laptop, but it's so funny because I am very strategic when

(20:43):
it comes to scheduling texts andemails.
Yeah, you pick a weird time, youpick 1037 or something.
Thank you, thank you because a lot of people it is so obvious.
I get work emails every single day and when it's at the hour on
the hour it's like I know what you're doing.
Right. You're obviously scheduling it.
Be creative, say ten O 2 or 1013.

(21:08):
Like come on. It's so obvious.
It's so. Obvious.
Grow up. I was talking to a person at
work about watching Netflix shows and listening to podcasts
because I guess, and I didn't even know this on Netflix, they
now offer a similar feature thatthey do on podcasts, which is

(21:30):
you can watch at 1 1/2 or two times speed the show, yes.
No, you're kidding me. Yeah, so no.
So imagine watching like Love isBlind and you're watching it at
1.5 speed or even 2.0 speed. That sounds ideal because love

(21:52):
is blind takes forever and it's so slow, so that honestly sounds
like it would be perfect. On paper, yes.
In actuality, there's no fuckingway I could do that.
OK, but I want to do it one day just to try and see how crazy it
is. Let's do it, let's do it.
But I I'm just saying there are podcasts that I listen to on a

(22:15):
regular basis where I have triedto do the 1.5 or even the 1.25
and I'm not joking. It is so overwhelming to me that
I end up overcompensating in theother direction and I put it on
.5 or .75 to listen. To the rest of it drive me
insane. I when I listen to audio books I

(22:39):
put them at least on 1.25. It would drive me fucking nuts
If I was listening to an audio book with you or a podcast and
you had it on .75 and it was slower than they even normally
talk. I would lose my mind.
Now I love it. I love a little breathing room.
I love it. You love it when someone takes 7

(23:00):
minutes to get to the point. Yes, I do.
I do. I like, I like.
This is why I like listening to NPR, watching PBS or old game
shows from the 60s and 70s because it was not wall to wall
mania. I I enjoy breathing room.

(23:20):
I enjoy a little relaxation. OK.
I'm just saying. Well, it's good.
You'll have a lot in common withour new 80 year old neighbor.
We did find a new place. We did find a new place our.
House is not sold yet, so if youwant to buy it, DM us.

(23:44):
It wouldn't be the craziest thing to come out of our podcast
listener because we have a best friend, best friends that came
out of the pod and people, a couple Hello, I'm back and a
couple that took our apartment managing job from the podcast.

(24:06):
So honestly, a home buyer from the podcast wouldn't be the
craziest thing to happen. No, much crazier things have
happened. So if you're looking for a home
in Santa Clarita, send us Adm. But we found a duplex in Studio
City and our duplex neighbors are in their 80s and we could

(24:31):
not be more excited. I love an old person, I'm not
going to lie. And I just can't wait to see how
much they love us, you know, because old people love us.
I, it's, it's so true. I, I forget who I was talking to
about this recently, but I'm like, if you're introducing me

(24:51):
to your friend that's in their 20s or 30s, like I'm going to be
nice. I'll maybe get along with them.
But if you introduce me to your grandma, I'm absolutely going to
get along with her. Like Mr. Steal Your Girl.
Yeah, yeah. No, I mean, it's, it's I, I
don't know what it is. I've said for years, I've said

(25:11):
on this podcast so many times I was born in the wrong decade.
I think we both were to an extent.
And I'm excited. I love an old neighbor.
I just really I, I need for our goal to be for them to invite us
into their half of the duplex and I need to see all of their

(25:36):
like old stuff and I need to seewhat shows they watch and I just
need to know like all about them.
I'm going to guess Wheel of Fortune, maybe Antiques
Roadshow. OK, I don't know what else older

(26:00):
people watch at this point. The news.
The local news. No, I think the news is too
depressing. I did find out maybe that there
is a person in my acting class that is 19.
And what I did have like a visceral, I said, as we live and
breathe. And he said, yeah, I'm 19.

(26:23):
And I was like, OK. And then I just stopped talking
to him. Like I was like, I don't, I
don't know how to process this information and I refuse to do
so. Like it's I'm not the oldest in
there. Like there's someone turning 39.

(26:44):
There's people like it's definitely, I'm in the middle.
You know, it's all good. I don't think that I could
emotionally take it if I was theoldest in the class.
I don't think that I would be OK.
Yeah, that would be a lot. It's like going to college and
you see the everybody had a college class where there was
like the 45 year old. Yeah.

(27:05):
And you respect it and go, OK, you're ruling, you're doing the
right thing. Kudos to you.
At the same time, I do not want to be you.
Right. And I don't think that I could.
I don't think my pride would would make it work.
I think I would just turn to askor quit the class like I don't
think I could do it. Same, same.

(27:28):
But it did. It did hurt.
It did hurt to hear that there was a 19 year old in the class
and. Sure.
I don't think, I think on principle I can't be friends
with him. You know, it feels weird.
Like I don't like who even talksto 19 year olds?

(27:51):
Other Yeah, I. Get.
That you know that's. It I get what you're saying,
yeah. A 33 year.
Old I do. Woman can't talk to a 19 year
old and be no no. I, I do find it very difficult,
I'm not going to lie, to talk tosomebody who's like
significantly younger than me. I'm like, I don't even know what

(28:13):
you know. And like, I'm not going to be
the person that sits there and tries to make conversation with
you and tries to be hip. You know what I mean?
Like, I know that you're going to cringe at that.
So that being said, I don't I'm going to acknowledge your
presence and at the same time I have no idea what the fuck to
talk to you about, right? It's like an alien, like, I

(28:36):
don't know, what do you like? It's a legal alien.
It's a legal alien for sure. So it was, it was jarring.
So anyways, I don't know. I also I don't know like this
acting class is is great for a lot of reasons, but I am
realizing I need to like lay down the law with a lot of

(28:57):
people and this was almost goingto be my Jude but it I guess it
can be a pre Jude Jude. OK, right.
Sure. Yeah, go for it.
And it has to do with voice notes again.
Like I don't know if this is thewhole freaking episode but it's
like OK this wall in my acting class has hit me up multiple

(29:21):
times via voice note. She'll voice note me after class
and talk and be like oh I don't like my partner.
Oh this week was hard. And then I'll respond back and
then she'll never respond for over a week and then I'll see
her in class and then she'll respond again.
And this last one she was cryingat me and emotionally dumping on

(29:45):
me at like 8:00 AM after our class because she got yelled at
for having bad work ethic in class by the teacher.
And then she cried at me in thisvoice note and was like I don't
know. And then I responded with a
voice note that was like 2 minutes long, but I was pumping

(30:07):
her up and I was like, hey, you know, like your feelings are
valid. And I think it's just time to,
you know, power through and prove it to yourself that you do
got this and work really hard this week and prove it to the
teacher and whatever. So I gave her like a pep talk,
never responded. Like so you just called and

(30:30):
cried at me masturbatory like whole monologue and then I gave
you a pep talk and you have the fuck ass audacity to not give a
fuck. I don't know if she listened to
it and didn't respond or didn't even listen to it and didn't
give a fuck because she got her feelings off her chest and

(30:52):
dumped on me so at least I'm holding it now.
So it's just like she took a shit on my face and then left me
to clean it up. Like cool, thanks.
You know what's so funny? I find it like if I if I text
somebody and they don't respond,I don't hold it against them.

(31:12):
Sure. But if it's a voice, you're busy
and you're crying. Well, not well.
No, Hang on. I I like even then, if I, if I
were to text you out of the blue, let's say you and I are
just acquaintances, right? OK.
I text you in the middle of the day, you don't respond.
I am not going to hold it against you, but if you text me

(31:35):
and then I text you back and then you don't respond for some
reason, I'm like, I get it, you want me to die.
Right. Well, yes, it's the you called
me. You brought this to my doorstep.
It's like, yes, it's like she brought it to my doorstep.
I opened the door and answered and then she took a shit and

(31:59):
walked away. Yeah, it's so annoying so.
I'm it's the equivalent of somebody text you something and
then you pick up the phone to call them and they don't answer.
I mean, I guess it's like, but that could be that could be that
they're in a loud place. Maybe.

(32:19):
That's not the same. Well, OK, I guess I'll go fuck
myself, whatever. But it's frustrating though
there's I also feel similarly about I and I'm sure we've
talked about this before, but I am I'm totally OK with, you know

(32:40):
the thing on the iPhone, I thinkthe Android has it now too,
where somebody send you a text and you can like heart it or
thumbs up it or whatever. Sure, I don't hate that as a
general principle, but I do findit irritating when I send you
something that is out of the ordinary or I'll be at heartfelt

(33:01):
and you just like it. Right.
Even I don't even. Like you know what I mean?
I don't even, it's OK if you heart it and respond or if it's
like, oh, this didn't need a response.
We've been talking for a few texts now or we've been talking
for 15 minutes and then you heart something.
But if it's just out of the blueand all you do is heart it like
I'll go fuck myself. Yeah, I don't like it.

(33:23):
I really don't like it. It's like it's the equivalent of
somebody texting you the letter K OK.
Yeah. Just disturbing.
Just spare me. Anyway, anyway, anyway, oh I

(33:46):
cannot believe we are two weeks away from 4th of July.
OK. I just, it's insane to me.
I, I feel like we recorded a podcast talking about 4th of
July literally 3 weeks ago. Oh, last year, yeah.
And I, I just, you know, I was talking to somebody today about

(34:10):
what are your 4th of July plans and whatever.
And it is just a time where manypeople, many of us not feeling
super patriotic, you know? No.
Not feeling super patriotic. It's like it's.
Not like 4th of July was a meanta lot to us before.
No, but now it's kind of like you get invited to somebody's

(34:33):
birthday that you didn't really like to begin with, but you feel
obliged to go. You know what I mean?
OK. Like a person you went to high
school with and you happen to bein town and they're like, yeah,
come by the birthday and you're like, that's kind of how I feel
about 4th of July this year. Which sucks because I usually am
a fan of shooting the fireworks off and things like that.

(34:56):
When we're not in California, you can't shoot off fireworks.
You'll start a fire. Also, our dogs are terrified of
fireworks. I think it's an overall, it's a
bad holiday. Yeah, you might not be wrong
about that. I think it's overrated and bad,

(35:17):
so there. Yeah, fair.
OK, we'll be right back. You have a gentle barn update.
Oh my God, I listen. We've talked many times about
the gentle barn, the place wherewe volunteer with the animals,
the animal sanctuary, whatever you want to call it.

(35:39):
And we because of current eventsin our personal life, we had to
take a few weeks off. And I was super excited to go
back last week to say hi to my donkeys.
I love my donkeys, they're such sweethearts.
I miss them. I walked into the area, the

(35:59):
donkey area, they all walked up to me.
They clearly miss me. Oh my God.
Amazing. We get it.
But there's always a weirdo. There's always a weird visitor.
And normally, as I've said on the podcast before, it's a set
of parents or kids that come by and the parents say, hey, look,

(36:20):
see that Turkey? That's what we eat for
Thanksgiving, right? Insensitive things.
But this time I got a comment that I just wasn't really sure
how to answer. I did not know how to respond to
it. This guy came up to me and said,
so you know, after experiencing the animals and talking to them

(36:42):
and getting them acclimated and socialized, do you believe more
in reincarnation? And in the back of my head, I'm
going honestly, yes, I do. Did you say well documented?
I did. But I also thought to myself,

(37:04):
strange thing to just bring up to a stranger very quickly,
right? And, you know, I was trying not
to be judgmental because I'm like, OK, well, this is clearly
an animal lover, and he's just trying to be nice and make
conversation. That's OK.
Yeah. And so I responded and said,
yeah, I definitely believe in it.

(37:26):
But then he went to the stage ofchallenging me.
What? He was like, OK, well, and then
he pointed to a donkey. Yes.
I said, yeah, I do. I do think I believe in
reincarnation. And I believe in it more after
being around these guys because they all have such distinct
personalities and blah, blah, blah.
And then he pointed to one of the donkeys and said, so her

(37:51):
what? What was she in a previous life?
Prove it. Tell me what she did.
And I'm like, OK, well, I don't fucking know how to answer that.
I was just like, yeah, she had agood life.
I didn't know what the fuck to say.
I just thought it was such challenging energy.

(38:13):
It's hard to describe it. I feel like I'm not even
representing it accurately rightnow.
Because he was, legitimately. Like fuck you tell me what her
story was. I know, but I wish you had said
like, oh, she was a 72 WNBA player.
I yeah, see. Well, to be fair, in these

(38:33):
situations, I normally have a bank response ready to go, but
this was the question that I hadnever been asked before and I
was not prepared. But now, moving forward, that's
exactly what I'm going to do. Honey, it's improv.
I know, but he, I'm telling you,it was not.
It was not a fun energy. This guy was literally like, oh,

(38:56):
you believe in reincarnation? OK, Fuck you.
What's her deal? Fuck you.
I'm going to. It's a blood pact.
You got to be accurate. Yeah, like it was aggressive.
I don't know. And he and he had like 3 kids.
They were sitting there very confused about what he was even
asking me. They're standing there like,
what's reincarnation, dad? Da da, what is it, Goo Goo Gaga?

(39:19):
It was very weird. It was very weird.
I We have enjoyed our time with the animals at the Gentle Barn,
but it is shocking to me and also not shocking I suppose that
we have really experienced how all over the place people are,

(39:41):
especially parents. People have no chill.
They do not know how to just interact with animals and call
it a day. They have to come extra.
They have to come with their opinions and feelings and oh,
this animal knows me and I know that you spend all the time with
them, but I know more about thisanimal than you do.

(40:01):
And like, it's, it's truly a case on the human condition.
It's really interesting. Yeah, I like the animals.
Not so much the people. Yeah, agreed.
Agreed. The time did.
You anyway, I think it's time todo it.

(40:22):
OK. Hit us.

(40:44):
So obviously to sell our home wehad to do an open house.
And indeed we're all about crossing the TS dotting the IS.
So yes, we had it all perfect, cleaned up things moved around.
I did get a comment from the realtor that people said that

(41:04):
our home looks staged and they were wondering if the furniture
was rented by a staging company and he said I could moonlight as
a stager and get another career and I said no thank you I do not
need another job so. I'm all tapped out, thank you
though. Thank you.
Thank you. But anyways, I'm just painting

(41:26):
the picture that it was not a pig style.
OK, We had everything bottomed up.
We had everything pretty, looking good, but perfectionist
style. We want a professional cleaner
to come in before an open house and make it like that extra
level of squeaky clean that onlythat only a professional can do.

(41:49):
Like, I don't even know I know how to dust I and I know how to
mop. I don't know how to dust and mop
like these women. You know what I mean?
They're professional. I've never cleaned anything to
the extent that these people canclean.
So our realtor helped us find someone that would come the
morning before our open house. And then he also scheduled a

(42:13):
private showing a few hours after the cleaner.
So it wasn't the open house, butit was still a showing.
She was going to come at 8:00 AMand the private showing was at
1:30. And then the next day was the
start of the open houses and I was like, great.
It's going to be brand spanking new.
No one's going to have touched it.
It's going to be freshly cleaned.
Everyone's going to be wowed. It's going to be sparkling.

(42:36):
Amazing. Love it.
So it gets to the day before andshe tries to move the time and
I'm like, OK, yeah, you can comeanytime.
But there's a private showing at1:30, so, you know, it might be
tough. And then she's like, OK, never
mind. I'll stay at 8:00 AM and I'm

(42:57):
like, OK, great. So then it comes to 8:00 AM and
we don't see her on the Ring doorbell.
And then it comes to 830 and then it comes to 9 and then it
comes to 9:30. So I text her and say hey please
let us know where. The hell are you?
Yeah. Please let us know when you
arrive because again, we have that private showing at 1:30.
Going to need to know that you're in and out like we're

(43:18):
running out of time here. Right?
And instead of responding to me she texted our realtor
separately and said I can't go now I'm sick.
Are you fucking kidding me? You waited till an hour and a
half after your appointment to text the realtor instead of the

(43:41):
person that just texted you? Where are you?
Instead of texting the homeowner, you texted our
realtor that you can't go and cancelled and made-up a bullshit
ass lie excuse. We all know that you're a
fucking liar. We all know you're a piece of
shit. And when were you ever going to
tell me? When were you ever going to?
You waited till a fucking hour and a half after you were

(44:02):
already supposed to have arrived.
What a fucking moron. If I had her full business
information I would say it on the podcast so that you would
never use her. Oh my fucking God.
But if you are ever using the cleaner in the Santa Clarita
area, DM me and I'll tell you ifit's her phone number or not
because fuck that Lady. Then we had to find someone else

(44:22):
last second that came and she did an amazing job, went above
and beyond. Is is iconic and wonderful.
But we were in a panic. It's already been a whole panic
of a week or two and this fucking bitch I, I should.
The red flag should have been when she tried to move the time
the day before and I said yes, you can move the time.
And then she said Oh no it's fine.

(44:45):
And then lo and behold, cancelled without even telling
me to my God damn face. You're not even going to tell me
to my face. Have have have enough balls if
you're going to do this and you're going to act like a God
damn Dick head. Have enough balls to cancel to
my fucking face you piece of shit.

(45:06):
Judgment to the plaintiff. Shove all of your cleaning
supplies and some bleach up yourfucking ass.
And some bleach, eh? Yeah, make sure it's squeaky
clean. It's it's definitely.
She did not ever plan on cleaning the house.

(45:27):
No, she was never going to go. She always planned on cancelling
last second and screwing us over.
And also. She had no plans.
It's not like we regularly do this.
We've we've only used a cleaner for the times where we're
literally selling a house. I know, I know, but we have not

(45:48):
had good experiences. No.
But say la vie, such is life. It is what it is.
Fingers crossed. We we did get like you said, the
lady came in the the backup person.
She came in, she did a great job.
I I gotta think the universe hasa plan.
Fingers crossed. I hope so.

(46:10):
Also a miniature Jude. I'm really fucking sick of
people assuming that we live offof you.
I'm so fucking sick of it. My acting teacher, literally I
said something like, oh, it's been a like stressful week, or
it's been a long week. And someone was like, Oh yeah,
aren't you moving? And it came up that we're
selling the house. Like someone just set an aside,

(46:32):
like, aren't you moving? And I was like, Oh yeah, we're
trying. It was an open house or
whatever. And then he's like, oh, you own
a house in LA And I'm like, yeah, and you know, Santa
Clarita. And he's like, oh, what does
your husband do? What do you mean?
What does my husband do? It wouldn't.
Matter, I'm telling you it. Wouldn't fucking matter.
Yes, if you are in a marriage where your husband makes more

(46:55):
money than you and you and or whatever is the breadwinner if
you want to call it that. That's pop off That's great.
That's amazing. Why is that what is assumed?
Because that's not the fuck ass case.
It's not. The case I'm telling you, I'm
telling you, we live in, I mean probably the most, if not one of

(47:16):
the most liberal cities in the in the world.
And people. Just.
Assume that you are paying our way and that you paid for the
house and my I. Was still still there is still a
very sexist mentality when it comes to that stuff.
I literally go, well I apartmentmanaged 5 buildings in the

(47:39):
valley for four years and that'show we own a house.
But to answer your question, my husband works in podcasting.
Like it's, I'm not trying to devalue what you do and your
salary that you bring to the home, which is obviously great,
but it is by no means the reasonthat we have food and a home.

(48:02):
No, I think it's, we've been, we've both have had, and we've
talked about this before in the podcast.
I think we've been together a long time at this point.
And there's been years where I'mpulling ahead, There's years
where you're pulling ahead. And there is no, there is no
hierarchy here. And it is shocking how often
people assume like, I don't knowwhat it is if they think like

(48:25):
because you're in an acting class, like you're the artist
and you don't make any money. And it's like, no, that's not
the Case, No. I mean, it's weird.
Yeah. I don't know.
Maybe they assume artists don't make.
I don't know, whatever. Yeah, but what about my other 3?
Jobs I It's shocking to me that people did not clearly listen in

(48:47):
elementary school. What does it happen or what does
it mean when you assume you makean ass out of you and me?
There you go. We will be right back.
Anywho, all right, well, we hopeyou have a good week everyone.
