Speaker 1 (00:01):
One of the biggest questions I get asked about doing
this job is about our hours. You know. Other people
are you know, always wondering what time you wake up,
what time you have to go to bed. You know,
those are like one of the main questions we get asked.
And it is tough, you know. I mean, we wake
up pretty early, so you try to go to bed early.
(00:21):
But sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. And then I
always let him know. But I nap every day. So
every day after the show, get home and I try
to nap for like an hour at least if not.
If I can get more, that's great, but some an
hour is about standard for me, and so that helps me.
I said. When I don't get a nap, then the
(00:42):
rest of the day, I'm like a zombie, Like my
don't even talk to me because I don't even know
what's going on. I'm like, I'm out of it. And
then by eight o'clock, I'm just miserable and I just
want to sleep, and so it makes it tough. But
if I get that nap in, it gives me a
second win and I'm fine.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Second part of the day.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
That's exactly how I described it to set and then
we can like make dinner and like enjoy our evenings.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Yeah. Well then, and I'm not a complete a hole,
you know, because if I don't don't don't.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Yeah, oh, I get so mean. And then I also
convinced myself that I'm really ill because well because you know,
when you like to start to not feel good because
you haven't slept, like I'll start to feel like my
stomach hurts, and I'll be like, oh my god, I
think I'm getting sick. Like I think I'm really getting sick.
And that's an addition to being you know. Yeah, so
(01:33):
I I man, I couldn't support more what you're saying
about that nap.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
That's kind of what's what it is, you know, and
that's just the way it goes. Well, this whole week,
I've had workers at my house because we had that
pipe burst and it caused massive damage. So our entire
dining room wall ripped out. We have like stuff in
the kitchen that's going to be fixed, and so there
it's a lot of work going on right now in
(01:59):
my house. And so we have workers there from nine
until five every day. It's a lot. It's a lot,
and so you know, everything's taped off. I mean, it's just,
you know, you're kind of living in a construction zone
a little bit similar to like when you had a
remodel or whatever.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
A year and a half or while.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
It's crazy, and so you know, taking a nap these
days is just sort of out of the question.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
You know.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I go to lay down, and I don't know if
they have some sort of alarm that goes off, but
the minute I start to like hear quiet, and I'm like, oh,
thank god, and I start to fall asleep. That's immediately
when I hear them, and I'm like, Okay, what the
how did they know? Every time?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Every time?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
And so for three straight days no nap, and I'm
just I'm out of it.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Man.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
It's just been tough, you know, because you're.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
You're getting five hours and then five hours and five hours.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
So now you're at like, let's say, fifteen hours of
sleep for three days because you're not catching up with
naps or anything.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
That's like wildly brutal.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yeah, it's been tough, and so I got a couple
more days of this left. It is what it is. Yeah,
I can get through it.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
And like Eddie said, you know, both Emily and I
We've had a lot of remodels. I mean, I think
everybody's had worked done at their.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
House just go on for years.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
YEA true. Yes, it's open ended.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
It'll never end.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
And I don't care if you talk about white noise,
if you talk about putting a pillow on your head, earplugs.
I've tried them all. And if somebody is using power
tools inside your home, it ain't happening, like, no matter
what it's.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Not is you know, it is what it is. Uh,
you know, power through it, but it is, you know,
not fun. Well, on top of that, I'm dealing with
a little bit of a crazy person at my house,
which is my wife Deborah. Oh no, yeah, So I
knew this a little bit, but it's gotten much more
(03:51):
heightened as we get older. And I don't know where
this is coming from. Deborah has basically let it be
known that she refuses to have any work done in
the house unless somebody's in the house. So either me
or her have to be home for the workers to
(04:12):
be in the house. Really yeah, and I understand it
to an extent, you know, I mean, you don't want it.
I personally don't want anybody in my house if I'm
not alone, but there are circumstances where it's just like, okay,
for a half an hour here, half an hour there,
or whatever, it is what it is. Hopefully you know,
we have a trustworthy company and trustworthy workers. You never know,
(04:33):
but hopefully you do, and it is fine. But in
her world, it is not happening, not even for a minute. Really, yes,
And this has been a weirdly busy week for me.
And I have a lot going on, Like I had,
you know, little league practice last night, I had softball,
I have a doctor's appointment this week, we have an
(04:56):
event today. Like, there's all these things that are going on.
So I'm like, and then she has to go and
pick up kids and drop off and do all these
different things. And I'm like, how are we going to
do this? Well? Her option is well, then I'm just
going to tell them they have to go. What I'm like, wait, wait.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
But this has to get done for like a half
an hour or forty five minutes.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Oh yeah, that's nice, but she she doesn't want anybody
in the house if we're not home.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
And it's but it's it's like the same guys that
are working all week, right, Like so like.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Okay, I mean we're not they're not family.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Well, but like maybe day one when like once they've
been there, like you kind of know them.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
High how's it going?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
You know, Like I think there is on top of that,
you know, if it's around the time when they wrap up,
nobody's gonna lock the door.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
They just they ting. I don't know, Like for me,
I have like the little like, oh I don't have
that dead locked.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Oh, then like i'd leave, I don't know, i'd leave
key's and.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Who the workers see this is This is the exact opposite, yes,
complete opposite of where Deborah is living. Emily is too trusting.
She's given keys to people she met five minutes ago
or surely for the day and.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
My house cleaner for the first time we had a
house cleaner. And she's coming back in next week. We
had a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
I met her.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
She did a tour of the house and I showed
her what like what we wanted cleaned, and then the
direction was for her to arrive while Robert and I
were out of the house for work at eight in
the morning when she came to clean and I left
a keyno.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
So complete stranger yeah, you don't know them at all.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
I don't have Rolelexes, I don't have Louis Vuitton persons,
I don't have Christian lub I mean, nothing of value
at my house. I have a couple of things that
I are and they have a safe in my room, Like,
what are they going to take for me? They're going
to take the seventy five inch TV off the wall
and walk out with it.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
That's a possibility, I mean, or they could scope out
this house on how to get in that night when
you're there. I watched a lot of SVU last night.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
I have a nine hundred and fifty square foot house
with nothing of value in there.
Speaker 6 (06:59):
It's again, it's maybe what do they take? It's maybe
it's not about taking something.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
If I watched a lot of s VU.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Take in, you never know to come in.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
He was walking around the house with the toddler.
Speaker 6 (07:13):
I know it's your cleaning lady, but their cleaning lady
could be connected to other people.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Who knows the cartel for a good person, murder or traffic.
You're still.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
It's crazy to me.
Speaker 6 (07:27):
What's crazy to me is what's crazy? You have Robert
walking into your car this morning?
Speaker 5 (07:33):
He stood by the door.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Argument last night, and so I watched myself.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
Okay, but but usually he's still that's how I.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Really stick it to him.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
We got to argument while watching TV, and so like
when I walk myself, it's kind of like a.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Oh yeah, you're a big girl.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
Now.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
He texted me this morning and why did Why did
I walk you?
Speaker 6 (07:52):
Usually your biggest fear is getting taken, So you don't
see how it doesn't make any sense at all that
that's your biggest fear. But then you're gonna people you
don't know in your house when you're not there, Like
that's that's that that's kind of a counter counterproductive.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
It doesn't hit me the same way than some creepo
that is in the bridges that wants to attack the
cleaning lady telling somebody I don't feel like that's the
way that attacks work.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
A cleaning lady scope like a house out to say, hey.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
There's a girl here. You don't it's not just a
clean could be part of a ring.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
We don't know, you know, Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
I grew up in the construction like a construction family.
Robert is a project manager, So I grow up like I've.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
I construction.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Robert finds it wildly annoying when people just stay home.
He says, most people really like there's a good amount
of people that do leave once he gets his workers.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Finds it annoying that I don't want people alone in
my house, my house.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
She says.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Workers tend to think it's tend to get mildly not
they're not mad at you or anything, but they get
mildly annoyed when there's somebody in their way and there's people.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Well, there's difference, you know. I mean, I I don't
speak to the guys and want them to get their
work done, So I'm not like chatting it up with them,
you know what I mean? If that's happening, Yeah, I
would get mildly annoyed. We're asking you every second, what
are you doing here? What are you doing here? That's annoying.
But I'm just sitting there on the couch, just so
that there's somebody there if that question, like hey, should
we do this? You know, like if nobody's home, who
(09:19):
are they going to ask? You know? So I understand
the concept, but I like, to me, you guys are
so wildly on opposite ends. I don't. I don't agree
with either.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
See, I'm a Deborra. I'm sure this doesn't surprise you. Guys.
I am a Deborah and with all the work we've
had done the same thing.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Well, luckily you always have somebody home at your.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
House, that is always.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
I have a stay at home husband with social anxiety,
so he rarely leaves the property.
Speaker 6 (09:48):
Has always the construction foreman too, Yes he is. But
that's what people like Robert hate.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Yeah, guy jumping in and helping.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Out, he would probably decline that job. He did a job,
any job walk he goes. This guy gotta be.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Here every day.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
He's gonna help us.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I'm good, I'm making money.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
I don't need anything.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
You need water or anything? All right? Cool? And the
walking away isn't what they hate.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
No, that's a good point. Yeah, but I'm with Deborah.
We will we will never. I will never be okay
with you.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Have stuff of value though, opposite of Emily.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Though I don't have Lisa.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
But I think we all say that. I think we
all say that, but I think we all have things
of value. Like like, one of the top things people
go for is medications. So unless you keep medications in
your house, in a saint. Like I take my hair
re growing medication, they'll probably take it all anxiety medication.
(10:46):
You know, electronics, panties, pervo stuff, planting cameras, plant camera, Yeah,
setting up a webcam, business, staring Emily.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Okay, what you know again, complete opposite ends of well
worth thinking. I'm not thinking any of these things. You know,
I don't know that you know the guys doing putting
up my dry wall or setting up a camera in there,
I don't.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
So you're just trying to get the work done.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
But so you're not okay with leaving a key, letting
them there all day, but you are cool with like
a half hour here.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
There if we have to like run out for something,
I'm not going to make him leave the house, like
keep working and then I'm going to be back in
forty minutes. Like, I don't understand why that's a big
deal to me. That's not that's not a big dal.
You don't have enough time to set up a camera, skuy,
I don't know they're pros man.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
You know, you got Graham and Nancy living in that
back house.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Well that's what now Grandma Nancy is she? I mean literally,
what would she do?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
You know, she's she's more risk than anybody. I'm not
putting her in there, you know.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
I also think that I'm so comfortable with it too,
to be honest, because I've only had to deal with
this and felt like this in my own house, my house,
and I'm mean that now I think and feel comfortable
because I have a neighbor named Chili Dog Tim who
works in his garage every day, and his garage is
open and it's right there.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
He's watched, always there, every day of the week.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
He's so it's almost like you have somebody there because
across the.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Street changes everything.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
It does. People are going to do anything if there's
a guy sitting right there.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
You trust people way too much, I guess I think
you really do. I think you don't think people will
do anything because there's a guy across the street.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
What are they gonna do in the middle of the day.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
There's a lot who knows? Who knows?
Speaker 1 (12:38):
You've never heard any story.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
Can Chili Dog Tim see through the walls on what
they're doing or who knows?
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Maybe he's got a keen eye, that's.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
So it's it's just making things even more difficult and
more prolonged because I'm like, I can't. I can't keep
this up for much longer. I'm gonna die.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
When are you getting done? Let the DAP?
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Probably tomorrow, but I don't know with these breaks that
I'm having to do, am I am I bleeding the
next week, So I have no idea. I'm just you know,
I'm gonna pull it Emily and just be like, take it,
take that, take it out. It's just crazy, man,
