Speaker 1 (00:03):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast?
Fine show. Okay, he's got a topic. Yeah, I got
a topic. You might notice I'm wearing a coat to

(00:23):
do the podcast. My furnace died yesterday, so I'm I'm freezing, freezing.
That's a weekly occurrence in my house. Now keep going.
So I went to My first instinct was to go
to home Depot and ask questions right away last night,
and they're gonna send people whatever. So I got a
couple of estimates from asking people in you know, in

(00:45):
my town and whatever on Facebook, and a couple of
people already reached out to me. So the unit itself
is like fifteen seventeen hundred dollars to like, So, how
much do you think it costs? I'll let you guys
all guess that. Take a box. I'm simplifying it. I
know it's more difficult to take a box attached the
air conditioning unit on top. You know, tighten some pipes

(01:07):
or whatever, you know, basically hook it up, Just hook
it up a couple of hours. The bullpark five. Okay,
so when you play a game like this, you go low.
So whatever number I give you, it sounds fire. You
don't guess twenty five thousand. You guys are expendell. You

(01:29):
guys are like my wife. I go, I met this woman.
She was so old you'll never guess. She goes a
hundred and ten like so I think after that, it's
hold on, hold on, we're editing this right, so give
your guests again because ready for the ten thousand. That's
great install it. I'm with Scott. I was going to say,

(01:56):
about eight right to a couple of hours work. You
put some pipes together right now the lowest I've gotten
so far. As that's down. I went on Twitter and
I asked some of my followers if they've done that recently,
and some of them in Iowa and Ohio like eleven thousand,

(02:18):
eight thousand. What we're in the wrong profession people. It's
when all the workers being done in our house. I
was chatting with one of the carpenters and he goes, yeah,
if you want to make money, get into plumbing. Those
guys make men. Thought of trying to do this yourself,
like YouTube or something. I've thought of moving Froggy, I
have not. No, this is not the kind of thing

(02:39):
I would do myself. No. Yeah, but the thing is
we do. We're not. We're not professionals, so it's kind
of like we gotta take their way for it. They
there's a lot of room for them to take advantage
and throwing costs that have no sense to me. But
I'll go along with because I don't know any any
other you know what it is, they know, I'm they
know your col kind of thing. Like if you want

(03:02):
to repay your garage door, they know you have all
the time in the world, so they charge you a
couple of hundred bucks. But when you don't have heat
in February, they know they got you by the frozen balls,
So this is the time to fix your air conditioning, right,
So why did you tell your family just put coats
on because it's not happening. I'm like, I can't help you.
Guys that we got a hot top go sitting at

(03:24):
all day. If you look really close, you can see
Brodie's breath. It's great. So we uh, we had our
I mean, everything's been worked on in our house and
now it's just little things. And our garage door wasn't opening,
and Stephane, the garage wasn't working nothing electrical, And I'm like,

(03:45):
I'm pretty sure and frog you'll know. Like, I'm pretty
sure it's this, but I don't trust myself with electricity,
so called the electrician. I'm like, I'm pretty sure this
outlet's bad. Just you know, I don't know. Sometimes yes,
it was dollars to fix your prick. So the guy

(04:09):
comes and I shoot you not. He takes my word
for it. He goes, yeah, you're probably right. It's probably
a bad outlet. He has one in his fucking pocket.
He's got these fucking cargo pants. He pulls an outlet
out of his pocket, unscrews the old one. That's something
of the wires I wasn't paying attention, puts in the
new one, flips the switch. Everything's work. It took him
I shoot you not in ninety seconds. I go, that's great.

(04:34):
I'm like, like, you know, like took your ninety seconds. Goes, yeah,
you know, that's kind of the going rate. And I'm like, okay,
let me get some but I google it. It is
the going rate to replace replace number one when you
hire anybody, free estimates so that you could tell you
what the problem is. Because I could change I could
come over, Nate and change your outlet for it's no problem,

(04:57):
But those are easy. I got a free estimate. Um,
I'm a first as you know, I've only owned this
one apartment, that one that I'm in right now, and
I've never had any renovations done on it because it
was new construction at the time. But now it's time
for a refresh of my bathroom. Well, I get an estimate,
and guy comes over my bathroom. By the way, it's
two by two. It's a small little place, tiny bathroom.

(05:18):
Because he's looking around, it was, yeah, you know what,
it will be running about fifteen grand, but you know what,
you really you have twenty grands set aside just in
case we go over budget. So I'm like, okay, is
this a going right to have a bathroom refreshed, that material,
everything all in. I want to all I want is

(05:42):
I want to I want to get I don't know.
I just want to get the tub out of there.
I want to make a shower stall. Are you gutting it?
Like everything? And put a whole new vanity in all
new every Yeah, yeah, everything if it's pretty good. If
you notice the problem though, and this is where his
contractor has scary. He goes, I don't know what I
want so this guy literally can go in and go, yeah,

(06:04):
you know what you need this, He's gonna go Okay,
that sounds about He was telling me, dude, if you
pay over seven thousand dollars being taken, hold on, hold on.
What I said was my bathroom that I wanted to
get redone which I can't now because I have no heat,
was ten thousand dollars, and I said that's too much.
But my bathrooms twice the size of Scary. So I said, Scary,
your bathroom legitimately it's a toilet, a little sink, and

(06:26):
a tough said. So, I said, it's probably five to seven.
You might get ten on the high end if you
go for fancy, a fancy countertop. The guy told him fifteen,
maybe twenty. I'd move at that point, So how to
change issues? Things are a lot more expensive than they
were back. This happens all the time where Scary lives
is very nice, and I'm sure that they came over,

(06:49):
took a look at your building, took a look at
all the buildings around you, probably talked to you about
what it is that you do, and then suddenly it
was fifteen thousand dollars for a five thousand dollar job.
So that fancy fancy couch and rug you have that
match you never said? Guess what that means? Now? I
am never I'm not going to be able to do
my redo, my beast. Let's go out on Instagram or
Twitter and ask one of the listeners to come over
and do it. They'll help you, yea, they'll show you

(07:12):
how to do it yourself. Totally. You don't do scary,
you do it actually, honestly, yeah, I think that's a
very small project. I might tackle that myself. Really really,
he doesn't know why if you scary turns the water off.
The demo is easy. So you get demo and take

(07:33):
it all out. You can know what you want do do?
Do you know how to lay tile? Scary or no?
You can do you know how to use a hammer?
I don't know, you know what? My pet My father
bought me a tool set from home Depot when I
moved into my apartment. And still, here's what you gotta do.
You gotta higher Froggy and he'll come over and do

(07:54):
it for you cheaper I have. The mirror might fall
off the wall, but a professional everyone, you know. The
guy was explaining to me that people that do with
themselves forget that you have to have something underneath the
tile so the tile doesn't crack. YouTube. You don't want
a three eighth inch, you want a four eight? You

(08:17):
want a half inch? I should what's the difference? It's
an eighth of an inch? All the difference. You want
a half inch tile and not a three eighth because
your your weight will crack it. I'm like, what the funk?
It's an eighth of an inch? Is he talking about
fourth quarter? Scary for a second, but he's trying to
up all this stuff like scary. If you're gonna do it,
I would put the get the floor to warm up
in the morning. When when you get up in the

(08:39):
morning to get ready for working, scary scary? Just buy
a rug, Just put a new rug in. I just
don't know what. Here's the thing I think I agree
with Froggy. I think you could at least do the
demo yourself and that'll save him what four grand? Maybe? Guys,
it's not scary. You want him to pick up a

(09:06):
sledgehammer and swing it? Yeah, scy down? Were getting toilet
as well? Are you going to keep your same toilet? Well,
it's a new word to Champions four. Oh you don't
want the Champion four. That's the one that swallows a
bucket of gold. They're like, you want to you wanna
a toe too? Or Cohler? Are you're watching the Wizard

(09:30):
of Oz? Those are those are crazy like heated seats
and stuff. You don't need that scary. I don't need. Gandhi, Gandhi,
what's your question? Yeah? Um, you have insurance right for
your house in your apartment. If something were to go
terribly wrong in the bathroom and like everything just got destroyed,
wouldn't they have to pay to have a new one
put in? No? I know, I mean I know him

(09:51):
from Brooklyn, but I've actually uh, you know, I have
a conscience. That's the biggest light you've ever told. So
here's the here's the thing that I'm now curious about.
So when you have your bathroom redone, where are you
staying or are you going to live there and ship
in the bucket one? One bathroom? So it has to

(10:12):
be strategically done while I'm away for two weeks. Two
weeks good luck and the bathroom money to go away?
So how are you going to do? He's rolling in it?
You better go on maternity leave or something that's not
getting down two weeks, has no dependence. He's that you see. Wait,

(10:33):
Brodie just did what Brodie hates when everybody does to him,
which is he got up in Scary his pocket and
he said, Scary doesn't have kids. You can afford it.
You're right, You're right, but I do know in this
particular case, So just bed with no I can't listeners.
Go online and good scaryes net worth five millions just down.

(10:57):
I'm going to defend Scary because Scary spends his money
obviously in a certain way. This isn't worth his money.
And I see his point. There's a lot of stuff
that we did in our house where I'm like, yeah,
I can afford it, but I don't want to pay
for it. It's not worth it. I got a trip
to Columbia coming up. I start, you know. Then I
started with my uber situation. I mean, I uber places
my money go Ubers are the bathroom. I know he

(11:22):
does sweet Scary. This says you're worth seven hundred thousand dollars. Yeah,
you can pay for it. Who are people? How much
worth a million? You're not worth? According to said, I
was worth a million but are you checking? I just Google?
Do people actually spend their time doing that? This is

(11:44):
all the bullshit and none of these numbers are corrected.
My salary yesterday, that's not correct. Like it's just not
fun about about the show. Just type in Google and
everyone's name from the show and you'll you'll see the
questions asked about about a lot of it's about salary
though too. I don't think I want to know this there?

(12:05):
Why why? How do you know that? Because Gandhi Google
did and it came up that up worth eighteen million dollars.
I knew it. Scotty, I knew it. Yeah, Scotty may
have saved eighteen million. We're using coupons, though. Maybe this
contractor googled my net worth before he came over my house.
Didn't we talk about this on air? I know I've

(12:25):
talked about it in my private life. That contractors will
look at the car you have and give you the estimate.
This happens all the time. In fact, last week my
neighbor texted me, he goes, hey, man, is it okay
if I use your driveway tomorrow? I'm like, yeah, sure? Why?
He goes, well, I got some contractors coming to give
me quotes and I don't want to see a Benz
or Tesla in the driveway. I'm like, oh my god,

(12:46):
oh wait, you live in a neighborhood where people can
afford Tesla's and Benson. No Google your funny two million
dollars Danielle. It's funny. Like I actually told my neighbors this.
I'm like, why do you guys live in this neighborhood
because one's a doctor and the other ones like some

(13:06):
muckety mucket Facebook. I'm like, you guys shouldn't be in
this neighborhood. You guys need to move out of this neighborhood.
But I see people all the time. They think, oh,
you drive a Tesla, you're rich. You can buy a
Tesla for like thirty not anymore, you can't anymore. They're way, yeah,

(13:27):
five thousands a lot of money to some people. But
I'm saying some people talk like it when you buy,
you're not right. It has gone up. It used to
be pretty cheap. Actually the cheapest one now was the cybertruck.
But did you know that the chip shortage is so bad.
It's not that they aren't making vehicles. There are in Ganda.
You might know this. There are like literally parking lots

(13:47):
in Michigan that are packed with cars that they can't
ship because there's no computer chips for it. But they're done.
Except for that. There's thousands and thousands of them are done, exactly,
exactly true. So my boyfriend works with cars like this
is what he does all the time, and he will
just drive by lots and like, look at that lot.
It's just packed with trucks, packed with jeeps, packed with

(14:10):
all of the stuff. It's just sitting there waiting for
the chips. So if you want to come and take
a car with no chip on it, tons. I was
talking to the dealership where I take my car, and
the guy told me similar story that there are cars
with Dodge. There are Dodges waiting for like ten dollar
parts that they can't get, and they can't They can't
ship the cars out because of a switch or relay

(14:33):
that's a little insignificant nothing, but they can't get it
because they made, you know, in Asia, and they don't
have them. So it's amazing how little things can affect
big things. Eventually, we're going to have a flood of
cars and we'll be able to buy all the cars
we want. As soon as they get those chips up,
I guess I will tell you haven't started. And they
built a chip factory in America like they did they

(14:55):
have scary. If you figure out how to make the chips,
you can then get your bathroom the house America. It's
a great time to sell a used car, by the way,
because that you can't get out for sure. I mean,
that's our problem is is Ford is coming to take
away Amy's truck at the end of this month. Can't
get anything. Nope, um Scott. If there's no car available

(15:17):
and you have a lease, if you call the leasing company,
they will extend your lease. Three months. Done, it was.
The lease was up in August. This is it. They
won't let us go anymore because that car is worth
more to them to sell. You should buy the car
and live in it so you have heat. But so scary.
If I could get in your goober, maybe you could
just help me out. Withers get to work every day,

(15:39):
all right. The ins also started. We're done minute Morning
