Speaker 3: I want to just talk to you guys about the

7
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 3: moment you realize you were a real adult. You know,

8
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 3: I live in denial a lot of times and I

9
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 3: don't want to face adulthood. But this week I had

10
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 3: to face it head on. And it all started with

11
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 3: my washer at home. Okay, it went down, and I

12
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 3: came home from work and Timothy was at the washer with.

13
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,919
Speaker 2: Like tools and like his phone was out. I could

14
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 2: see he was on YouTube.

15
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 3: And my anxiety went through the roof because I'm like,

16
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 3: my man's a lot of things. He's a great guy,

17
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 3: but he is not handy. Okay, so when I.

18
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: See him with a tool, he got a rench in

19
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: his hand. You're like, yo, okay, it's about to get worse.

20
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, you know, we we both panicking. We're sweating.

21
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 3: The dog is facing the floor. I'm like, what happened.

22
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 3: He's like, I don't know. It just stopped working. It

23
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 3: won't drain, and so I'm like Okay. Now I tried

24
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 3: to live in denial for a few days, like just

25
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 3: let's just ignore this, but you can't.

26
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: Then you don't have any clothes because you wear the

27
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: one song. And then you're like, I gotta wear it again. Right,

28
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: you're watching stuff by hand on one of those boards.

29
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: Kiki's down in the backyard, every one of those Like

30
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, read the boards, hanging stuff

31
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: up on a because she doesn't want to have to

32
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 1: call anybody.

33
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 3: Yes, you know me, Like I try to ignore stuff

34
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 3: parking tickets and student loans, and then it always comes

35
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 3: to nite me.

36
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: So the clothes started paling up. I'm like, okay, we

37
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: gotta fix this.

38
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 3: So I I get on YouTube as if I can learn,

39
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 3: because you know, I have taught myself many.

40
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: I will say, YouTube solves a lot of problems.

41
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 2: YouTube University.

42
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: Somebody has made a video about just about everything.

43
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 3: Everything. I made a whole career from you, said, like,

44
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 3: I've learned a lot. You know, before there was shadd

45
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 3: and ge, there was YouTube. So but I couldn't even

46
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,639
Speaker 3: figure it out. So finally I broke down. I called

47
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 3: the little one eight hundred number on the washer or

48
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 3: whatever and it's you know, we go through this whole

49
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 3: troubleshooting thing with Samsung and they can't even figure it out.

50
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 3: So then they send me three recommendations of Handyman or whatever,

51
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 3: and I go and I look up the reviews. One

52
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 3: review is like, don't let these people in your house.

53
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 3: They're gonna kill you. Another review it's like, oh, they're

54
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 3: gonna come, they're gonna tell you it's one thing, and

55
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 3: then they're gonna charge you. And then the third company,

56
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 3: their reviews seem to be the most normal. So I

57
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 3: was like, okay, I called the reviews. I mean, I

58
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 3: called the place in schedule an appointment. The guy came

59
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 3: out last night and he's like, you know, I love Handyman.

60
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: When they come to your house.

61
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 3: They got their little tool bag, they sit it down,

62
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 3: and I really feel like he was making up this

63
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 3: price in his head, you know, like just seeing what

64
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 3: you get away.

65
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: Like I was like, so, how much is it gonna

66
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: cost me? He was like uh oh.

67
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 3: He started squating his eyes and he's like hmm, three

68
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 3: fifty and I'm looking like.

69
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: You're looking, and he's looking at you like if she

70
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: could go for that, and like, I know the thing

71
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: where you're like looking at him like is that the

72
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: real price? Or should I push back?

73
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:07,679
Speaker 2: Exactly?

74
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I thought about Jason, because I know Jason

75
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 3: doesn't like a haggler. He doesn't want to have to

76
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 3: go back and forth. So I just say, you know

77
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 3: what I'll take. We can handle the three fifty sir,

78
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 3: and he's coming back today to hopefully fix it. But

79
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 3: when I had to call that one eight hundred number,

80
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,040

105
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: Say, I have heard that sometimes the repair can be

106
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: more than it would cost to replace it.

107
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 2: Oh wow, I didn't want to tell you yesterday because it's.

Speaker 2: Said, throw it away, I start over.

111
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: I've only had three years garbage period. The man used

112
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: the period. Here's like I'm looking at, like like a

113

Speaker 1: nice looking whirlpool seven ninety eight, a nice looking LG LG.

114
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: But like an average price of a washer they're saying

115
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: is two fifty to five. And again I don't know

116
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about here. This is Mike Mechanics standing.

117
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: But two fifty five fifty is the average price for

118
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: a washing machine and he wants three fifty to pick

119
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: you up. So at what point do you get to

120
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: the to where it's like okay, let's just take this

121
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: one and bring me another one.

122
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 3: See, I was gonna take the money I want from

123
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 3: Shelley and start a foundation.

124
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: You know.

125
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 3: That was going to be the launch of the foundation

126
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 3: where I helped the children.

127
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 2: That was my plan. Now I gotta take this money.

128
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: Then the found it was gonna be called the Foundation

129
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: for Kiki's House.

130
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 2: Oh, the poundation was really going to be for the children.

131
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 2: That was my plan. But now it's gay. I need

132
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 2: a washing machine.

133
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: Well, if those children want to come over wash their

134
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: closing in your new washer, then I guess they can

135
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: do that.

136
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 2: I gotta win this money.

137
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. I my dad is super handy as an engineer.

138
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: He has that kind of brain. It was not passed

139
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: on to me. I don't have those abilities. And I

140
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,520

Speaker 1: your partner. I need a guy. Like I was painting

143
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: yesterday and I realized it's paint on a wall, Like,

144
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: how difficult can this possibly be? And I'm bad at

145
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: it and we've already been through this in the past.

146
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: I don't know how it's paint wall. How difficult is that?

147

Speaker 1: need a painter, I need I need a cabinet guy.

149
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,160

150
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: do this stuff. And I'm not the guy that can

151

153
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: I also don't trust anybody. And I'm sure there are

154
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: a lot of people who listen to us who are

155
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: very trustworthy, but unfortunately, you know, many of us have

156
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: also had the experience where we hire somebody online and

157
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: they come over and they're like doing the thing we're

158
