1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: You know, eating a balanced diet means having a cookie

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: in both hands.

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:09,160

Speaker 1: our hands are or what's in them while we go

7
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: around sharing what's happening in our personal lives.

8
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 2: What's on your mind? I'm gonna share your mind.

Speaker 3: estimate to clean out my gutters.

21
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,360

Speaker 2: That supposed to mean, well, what's wrong with Dodge Chargers.

00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 3: the trunk of this thing.

39
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 2: It was like a clown car. That's impressive, it was.

40
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,920

00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

46
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 3: So about five minutes later, I get a knock on

00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 3: the door and he's at the door and he's asking

48

Speaker 3: for a bag of ice, and he looks visibly pain.

49
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

50
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 3: He just slammed his hand in the trunk of his

51
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 3: car and he's not sure if his fingers are.

52
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 2: Poor.

53
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 3: Like yeah, So I go get the poor man a

54
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 3: bag of ice, and I said, well, you don't have

00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 3: to stay again.

56
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 2: You could do this later, he's like, no, I got it.

57
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 3: I'm sick, I have a broken hand.

58
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 2: I'm going to finish the job. Okay, Yeah, he doesn't

59
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: finish the job.

60
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 3: He leaves.

61
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: He leaves his ladder there about yeah.

62
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 3: A week later he texts me and asks me for

63
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 3: one hundred dollars he needs gas money. And then, you guys,

64
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 3: three weeks go by. For a month, we have had

65
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 3: the ladder outside of our house. He finally shows back up.

66
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 3: He lets me know he did not break his hand.

67
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 3: He can't do the work today, but he'll be back

68
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 3: in two weeks. And if I don't trust him, he'll

69
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 3: leave me his passport. Yes, yes, I think I'm being scammed,

70
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 3: but it's a very long play. And yeah, or if

71
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 3: anybody does gutters, i'm your sucker.

72
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: Mind.

73
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 4: Well, if you didn't know other than this job, I'm

74
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 4: a video game streamer. I stream almost every night, and

75
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 4: occasionally I do raffles and giveaways. And this last time

76
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 4: I did a giveaway of almost one thousand dollars in

77
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:21,679
Speaker 4: Visa gift cards.

78
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: And it was really exciting. Right, that's more money than

79
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 2: we give away on our show, I know.

80
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: Right.

81
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 4: So anyway, the other morning I was supposed to mail

82
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 4: them out, and I go to grab them all my

83
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 4: way to work and I cannot find them. And the

84
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 4: last thing that I remember is putting them on my

85
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 4: kitchen counter. And then I was like, oh my gosh.

86
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 4: I threw away all my trash and cleaned and went

87
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 4: to the dumpster before I went to bed.

88
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, hundreds and hundreds of dollars.

89
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 4: Almost one thousand dollars one cave. So then on the

90
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 4: way in, I'm stressing out. I'm like, oh my god,

91
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 4: what do I do?

92
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 3: I do I go through the dumpster, That's.

93
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: What I was thinking. Or you can offer to do

94
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: Brooks gutters and she'll just throw money at forty.

95
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: Dollars anyway, So I'm freaking.

96
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 4: Out, and then I remembered six years ago, I had

97
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 4: to buy a new phone because I lost mine one night,

98
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 4: and the old one I found after in my jacket pocket.

99
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 4: And I remember I went to lunch of you guys,

100
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 4: and I wore a fancy jacket for one Yeah, so

101
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 4: I run home, I go into my jacket and sure enough,

102
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 4: it's a miracle. They're in my jacket pocket, all three

103
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 4: of them in your pocket.

104
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 3: Had them at lunch, I could have picked pocketed.

105
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess it was in the transfer of me

106
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 4: grabbing my keys and wall and everything. I put them

107
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 4: in my pocket. I told you about Have you mailed

00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 2: Yes, they got mailed out, and I know one of

110
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 2: the people already got one. Okay, you're good to go.

111
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 4: The other kew if they're lost, I don't come to.

112
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: Me, all right. I barely got him to you, all right, Jeff.

113
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: So I'm not real a handy person. Hands maybe, yeah,

114
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: but handy.

115
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 2: Not really yet.

116
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: And I know I'm moving into this new house, so

117
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: I have to get a lot of things done. So

118
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: I dip my toe into the pond of big box

119
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: hardware stores.

120
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 2: The whole depots, the lows. I'm finally getting deep into

121
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 2: like that world and what it's like.

122
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 4: Now knowing you are you getting into the world of

123
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 4: hiring people at home depot or going in and actually.

124
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: I'm actually buying stuff to use myself. And recently I

125
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: went there to get a power drill. Okay, I don't

126
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: own one yet, so I wanted to get my first

127
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: power drill. The worker in the power drill section walks

128
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 1: over says he can help me. So I asked him

129
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 1: about a drill. He pulls out his phone and starts

130
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: googling it what He's trying to match the photo on

131
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: his phone to the drill that I'm pointing at and

132
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: reading the description. Five minutes later, he says he's not sure.

133
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: Help.

134
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: My dad hates everyone that we're at the big box stores.

135
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 3: He's like, you're all idiots.

136
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 2: Don't listen.

137
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: Later, I was looking for a flood lamp. Nobody at

138
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: the store knew what that was. What they're like for floods,

139
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. Ultimately, I decided to go simple. I'm

140
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: asking where are the mirrors in the store? Employees like mirrors?

141
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: What kind of mirrors?

142
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 2: I don't know, the ones that like I can see

143
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 2: myself in those ones.

144
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: She's like, oh yeah, let me look those up again

145
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: on the phone.

146
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 2: Has to look in the phone where it is in

147
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 2: the store.

148
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: So in the end, I just realized me, the least

149
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: handy guy in the world knows just as much, if

150
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: not more, than the actual employees at the hardware stores.

151
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's only one guy who ever knows anything there.

152
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 3: You gotta find him, and he doesn't even work there.

153
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 2: Probably not.

154
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,119
Speaker 3: Probably you wouldn't believe how much advice my dad gives.

155
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 3: When we go, we spend half of our time him

156
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 3: talking to other people to let him know a better

157
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 3: way to do something.

158
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, let me help you, and the rest of

159
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: the time hiring people to do Brooks gutters, So I

160
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,119
Speaker 1: wish you could come over. That's what's on our minds.
