1 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:16,279 Speaker 1: So this is like the Lorial Midnight Cream video I did, 2 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 1: only the podcast edition. I've got two stunning supermodel dogs 3 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: and we're on me wearing Tory Bark sweatshirts. I have 4 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: a caviar sweatshirt. I have not brushed my teeth, but 5 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:34,560 Speaker 1: I have not gotten dressed. I've been stressed and moving 6 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: and I'm dehydrated as fuck. And that's actually bad. When 7 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,879 Speaker 1: I get really dehydrated, it gets bad, like I go 8 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: too far and then I got a headache and my 9 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: body aches. I'm a fucking mess. Let's just put it 10 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: that way. My friend Mark, Hi, Mark, Mark's definitely listening. 11 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: He just said to me. He called me, and I 12 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: was like, I gotta go. I'm walking into the podcast. 13 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: I said. I'm standing here in a caviar sweatshirt, have 14 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: brush my teeth yet, but this podcast that you love, 15 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: I'm walking into right now. He goes, well, you're the 16 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: Jackson Pollock of podcasts. You just what with a minute? 17 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: You want to paint? You have to paint. So I 18 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: guess right now is when I'm going to paint. Okay, 19 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 1: So let's discuss a couple of things. First, gay men 20 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: are a different breed in the last twelve hours, two 21 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: different gay men have told me different activities as it 22 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: pertains to furniture. So one of my friends told me 23 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: that they had to let me know about this f 24 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: one event that I was going to invite them to, 25 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 1: which is a coveted ticket that I can bring one 26 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 1: person and people would pay thousands of dollars to get 27 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: to go. And he said he's probably going to be 28 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: able to make it, but he has to let me 29 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: know because there's a rug he ordered coming in from Catman. 30 00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: Do Catman, do you know my rugs are coming in 31 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: from fucking either rugs dot com? Actually, I do have 32 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: some stark rugs because that's elite. I can't wait till 33 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: they get peed on and then I have to call 34 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: him crying and like I have to get another one 35 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: and ask for friends and faimily discount or My other 36 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: thing that I do is when I buy a rug 37 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: this is a rich person's bullshit thing, I get two 38 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: because I know these fucking beasts are gonna pee on it. 39 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 1: But anyway, my friend is getting back to me because 40 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: he's got to get a rug from Catman. Do are 41 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: you a fucking that is like such a gay eighties 42 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 1: thing like guys, everything's made in the same fucking places. 43 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: I don't know is there, but I don't know, all right, 44 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,119 Speaker 1: so let's just not judge him. He is a rug 45 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 1: from Catman do I used to have seventy Arama's bags, 46 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: so he can judge me too. Catman don't Catman do's 47 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: and don't then my other friend, Yeah, catman, he's not 48 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: a catman or a dog man because one animal near 49 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: that rug. I don't think I'm ever going over to 50 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: his house. I really don't. I don't want to, like 51 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: a little little shard of like candy coated Swedish candy 52 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: and Christmas is canceled. I don't want to go there, 53 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: never bringing my dogs. I don't know their dog passed 54 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: away sadly years ago, but this is probably why they 55 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: can now have a Catman do rug. My other gay friend. 56 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: And by the way, I'm selling my house what I 57 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: designed with my rugs from these websites, and I'm selling 58 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: it for double what I paid. And these guys have 59 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: never sold the house for double what they paid. Is 60 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: that true? Yes? But over years, over like tens of years. 61 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: So I'm going with my model. I'm going with my model, 62 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: because it's not like, oh I didn't get the Catman 63 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: do rug and like that is why my house never 64 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: like increased in value because I'm a cheap fuck. But 65 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: as I've said to you before, I'm designing it. Oh, 66 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: I have to tell you another story, all right? Hold on. 67 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: So my second friend Mark, the one who listens to 68 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: this podcast and says, I'm the Jackson Pollock of podcasts 69 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: because I have to like paint when I want to paint, 70 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: whether I brush my teeth or not. He just said 71 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: to me that he was near the airport he had 72 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: to dry. I wasn't even paying attention. It was scot 73 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: so convoluted, but like something about bought two chairs at auction, 74 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: then had to wanted to go to get them recovered, 75 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: and then was driving to go pick them up like children, 76 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: like a carpool for car. I was like, are you 77 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: fucking kidding me? The other gay that lives down the 78 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: street from you last night was waiting for a Catman 79 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: do flight. It's like a breeder dog. It's like, we 80 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: want rescue dogs, not breeder dogs. We want rescue rugs. 81 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: Like he's fucking at the airport waiting for a breeder rug. 82 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: Right now, like people are fucking crazy, including myself, So 83 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: let me get into my story. So I'm moving, as 84 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: you know, and two things are happening. One is people 85 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: like to play fuck around and find out with me, 86 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: and fewer people play it, but people still want in 87 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: a while play it, and they do fucking find out, 88 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 1: whether it's today or ten years from today, they fucking 89 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: find out. So this thing was, I've done probably ten renovations, 90 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 1: and you would think everyone thinks that, like she's famous 91 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 1: or she's rich or whatever people think of me. It's 92 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 1: hard to even know Skinny Girl Forbes Magazine that I 93 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 1: don't pay attention. Okay, now I don't pay every attention 94 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: to every single thing, but I'm very good at understanding price, 95 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: like what something should act actually cost. I actually fucked 96 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 1: up when I was on the apprentice on QVC because 97 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: I knew the price to begin with, but I second 98 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: guessed myself because what we should charge because I didn't 99 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: I underestimated the wealth of the QVC customer at the time. 100 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: But anyway, because their number one zip codes at the 101 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: time were Beverly Hills and Upper east Side, I did 102 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: not know that. But I'm very good at like what 103 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: something should cost. I'm also a guard rails all in person. 104 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: I've learned my lesson. Okay, someone right now is trying 105 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: to play fuck around and find out. They got a 106 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: permit for a pool for me for a house and 107 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 1: been working on the permits at the city and it 108 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: takes a year and it's a hard thing. Twenty thousand dollars. 109 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: This has nothing to do with the pool, just the permits. 110 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 1: Another company took a deposit to do the pool. We 111 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: did some drawings, but we never did the pool. Thirty 112 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: three thousand. They want to keep that and not give 113 00:05:49,240 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 1: it back, like, okay, fuck around, find out, so keeping 114 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: it moving. I told the designer for this new house 115 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 1: that I bought what my budget was, and this is 116 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: a much bigger budget than I would proportionally to what 117 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 1: this house needs. Meaning in the Hampton's, in my house, 118 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 1: I needed like a really substantial, almost full gut. Okay, 119 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: in Connecticut, I didn't need a full gut. It was 120 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 1: a half renovation, but a big property. So you're talking 121 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: about indoor outdoor, apple trees, guest cottages, entertainment, barns, et cetera. 122 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 1: So I have a baseline of what things should cost 123 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 1: also I could move every couple of years. I got 124 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: a daughter leaving for college. We've had a lot of 125 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: life changes. So I always design this way add value 126 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 1: to the home, Like if it's two things, one to 127 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: the materials of the home, Like not because you think 128 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: this veiny marble is gonna like that's not it. They 129 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: may not like that. It's a taste specific thing. But 130 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: like if you decide to put stone on an island 131 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: that didn't have it, or you make the kitchen bigger, 132 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: or you walk in and now you can see out 133 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: to the yard through a window, like the experience is 134 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: different because of it, not because of your personal choice 135 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: that you have imposed on someone else. Meeting, I have 136 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: a bedroom upstairs that is now a full glamor room 137 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: with a marble island. I don't know who's moving in here. 138 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: I don't know that she's gonna want to walk down 139 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: the hall and have a separate room that has a 140 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: full bathroom and a steam. And you know, maybe I 141 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: found the right buyer because we're you know, I've put 142 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: a lot of money into this house and I'm getting 143 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: double my money. And I also stole it when I 144 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: bought it, and I bought it right and great, But 145 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: I'm saying I'm that was for me. I wanted that. 146 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: That was not that's not something that someone else would 147 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: necessarily want. You can't just impose because you're, you know, 148 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: a rich bitch or fancy that someone else is gonna 149 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: want it. But if it's really going to change the 150 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: way the house feels, and like the value of the house, 151 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: you know, like you upgraded appliances, that's in value. Add 152 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: you have automatic window treatments everywhere, or it used to 153 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: be the sound system, like whatever the thing is. You know, 154 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: you redid the kitchen floors and you maybe just stain them. 155 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: You don't even have to rip them out. It was 156 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: not expensive, but the visual, like, it's the experience and 157 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: the convenience. The other person doesn't have to do that. 158 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: You changed all the hardware. Now someone comes to look 159 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: at the house, it all looks fresh. Okay, these are 160 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: things people just don't want to deal with, and it's 161 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: worth it. Okay, but I don't care about viscouch, that chair, 162 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: that thing, et cetera. I'll buy nice things, but I 163 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: have always left them and sold them in an auction 164 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: when I leave the house. So like, and I also 165 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: count that in the renovation price because it's going in 166 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: the garbage. Meaning if I want to go do a 167 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: house and you're like, it's going to be one hundred 168 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: and two five hundred million dollars, I count what the 169 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: furniture is gonna cost. That's part of my all because 170 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,439 Speaker 1: I know I'm not getting that back. If you spend 171 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand of furniture, you're getting ten back. Like 172 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: it's just not. So that's why I'm crazy about when 173 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: I buy the furniture. Now, someone who is going to 174 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: pick up their rug from catman, do you know, maybe 175 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: that rug comes to the next house, But if it 176 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: gets wrecked and dirty in this house, which it probably will, 177 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 1: then it won't. But there's nothing, no criticism. Everyone lives 178 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: how they want. You know. Some people keep their Arimez 179 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: bags and boxes so they're pristine for a future person. 180 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: Some people, like you know, the Olsen Twins, beat the 181 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: shit out of them because they're to be worn. Like. 182 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: So it depends on who you are and what you're 183 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 1: doing or what your goals are. Do whatever the fuck 184 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: you want. But and I do believe saving a bag 185 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: and things like it's probably stupid, even though I do 186 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: do it outfits, et cetera, where your shit. We could 187 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: all be dead tomorrow and it doesn't matter, Like just 188 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,079 Speaker 1: put it on, use it like you're saving for a 189 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: rainy day that may never come, and it's just like 190 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: not living so anyway, So I know what it costs 191 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: to do a house and all the furniture. So I 192 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: gave a cap this property that is about an eighth 193 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: the size of the property that I'm on now, and 194 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: the house is about a third. And I gave a 195 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: half the budget that I did on the house that 196 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: I'm in now, which is crazy because I did a 197 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 1: massive renovation at a huge place, and so within that budget, 198 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: a closet person came and literally sent an invoice for 199 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: half the price of the entire renovation, which is the 200 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: quarter of the price to renovate an entire Greenwich, Connecticut property. 201 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,559 Speaker 1: So what did I do? I was like, this is insane, 202 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: and of course it's always quote unquote a starting point, 203 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: and then they get scared and I'm like, but no, 204 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: this is a fucking insane price. I won't tell you 205 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 1: guys what it was. I don't think I can. You'd 206 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: never speak to me again, Like these are things that 207 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: I won't do because I know where the line is, 208 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,559 Speaker 1: and this is the line of like, we can't relate 209 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 1: to her, she's a fucking loser. Okay, it's not a 210 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: price we can discuss, it's a lot. So I go. 211 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: And now I'm a due diligence person. So whenever I 212 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: get a quote from like a house manager or something 213 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: like that's crazy, like that stupid twenty thousand dollars pool 214 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: permit thing, I'll send it to three people, one house 215 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 1: manager in the Hamptons, a contractor, a city person, a 216 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: real estate worker, and i'll do all crowdsource. Then i'll 217 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: know where we stand. So they all say you out 218 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,319 Speaker 1: of your fucking mind, Like I know that this guy's 219 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: hosing me. Also, this guy's hosed me before on something 220 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: because I was getting a gate and I did the 221 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,559 Speaker 1: same process. Then I'm like, I have three people telling 222 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: me this other price, no fucking way, So we're all 223 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: getting ripped off. It's just how much. Okay, So the 224 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: closet thing, I now call the guy who did my 225 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,599 Speaker 1: other closets because to me, in my mind, I'm like, 226 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: just closets people are closet people. Okay, I send it 227 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: to my closet guy. And I'm wrong to say closet 228 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: people are closet people because a lot of these places 229 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: are like brand name closet places, like the Closet Place 230 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: and then the Blind's Place, and then you know that 231 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: the Closet Place is like a franchise thing, and like 232 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,719 Speaker 1: they're just like salespeople and a big company that you're 233 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: paying a massive viig two and then they're gonna go 234 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: get their designer and then they're gonna go get the 235 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: people to build it. It's like a lot of bulk 236 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: in between, right, It's like the opposite of like Amazon, 237 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: and even Amazon has bulk in between. It's the opposite 238 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: of like who's making it? So I call the guy 239 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: from the hampton just to be like, who are you? 240 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: What's your model? Because he did my house in the 241 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: Hampton's and he did my place in the city and 242 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: it's always seemed like pricey but not like kill yourself. 243 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 1: And he's like, I'm like, you build it. He's like, 244 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: my guys build it. But it's like his guys and 245 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: they don't do houses and things, they only do closets. 246 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: So he's got like a corner on just doing it 247 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: and a lot of the other people, the closet place, 248 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: the closet lady, they use him, So now I'm paying 249 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: them to use him when I know him and he 250 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: can do it himself. And my friend was gonna do 251 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: the same thing with our contractor. She's like, I just 252 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: gave him the drawings and he's gonna do it himself. Now, 253 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: some people may not understand every inch of a closet 254 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 1: and the way things are, but it's not rocket science, Okay, 255 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: It's squares and lights and handles. So he says to me, 256 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do this for you for one one almost 257 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: one third the price. Like let's say he's doing it 258 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: for he's doing it for less than half the price. 259 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: He's doing it like yeah, like thirty percent. So I'm like, 260 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: what the fuck. So now my two friends it happened 261 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: to also be doing houses at the same exact time, 262 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 1: who also happened to be using the same designer. They 263 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,319 Speaker 1: start freaking out because I'm like, guys, like, it doesn't matter, 264 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 1: I'm not shooting a messenger.
