1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:22,160
Alrighty, and away we go. It's another drive we drive in because we have places to go, things to do, and furniture to move.

2
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:52,120
Oh no. Oh yeah, furniture to move. And that is something that, I'm trying to see, sorry this is a driving episode so like when I say I'm trying to see it's because I was backing up. Anyway. Yeah, so I've been undergoing an adventure. At this point in time the adventure is not yet complete.

3
00:00:52,120 --> 00:01:06,120
But it, but it's, it's almost there. Well I can't say complete because it's a journey. It's something that's never complete because life, life is a journey as are the many, many aspects of the journey.

4
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:24,120
But, uh, I've been in the process of going from one place in my state of residence to another place. And it's been a very, very interesting journey that Kit has been journeying alongside me with.

5
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:47,120
Uh, with. So, I figured, why not talk a little bit about the process of moving and, and why and all of that. And who knows, you know, maybe you'll get something out of it. But it's just something that I've been thinking about and going through. And it's, it is exhausting. And you gotta watch out for scams too. We'll talk about the scams.

6
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:58,700
Scams. Scams. Scams. Scams. Scams. Scams. So, as to the question of why I'm moving. Well, when two people love each other very much.

7
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:29,100
Well, okay. So, several years ago, uh, Kit and I's mother decided that things were not working out very well between us. And we called it quits. And that was mutually beneficial for both of us. So, that was good. I think Kit will agree that it, it generally made both his mom and I better.

8
00:02:29,100 --> 00:02:59,080
And that was better, happier people to not be with each other. Would you say that's an accurate assessment, sir? Nah. Okay. Uh, of course, Kit was caught in the middle. Uh, we, we had to decide to cut him in half in order to determine, you know, custody. Uh, I got the half with the brain. And that, that's, that was good. So, that worked out for us. I mean, what you can call, I guess, a brain for you.

9
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:11,960
kid. No, everything went relatively okay. But that happened. And then there was, you know,

10
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:19,300
a time of transition there and tried to date, which was difficult after I had given time apart

11
00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:26,100
and whatnot. And then I met somebody and things worked out pretty well. And we've decided that

12
00:03:26,100 --> 00:03:33,460
it's time to, you know, combine worlds in a more permanent way. So that means moving in with her

13
00:03:33,460 --> 00:03:40,020
because her location is better than my location. I think objectively speaking, her location is better

14
00:03:40,020 --> 00:03:50,440
than my location. Her location is cats. Yes, her location has cats. And everybody likes cats,

15
00:03:50,440 --> 00:04:00,720
except for people who don't like cats. But everybody likes cats. Unless they're allergic to them.

16
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:07,880
You can still like cats. Yeah, but not everybody likes cats, especially the musical. Definitely

17
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:16,220
not the movie version of the musical. Yeah, that's a travesty. But anyway, so I've been over the past

18
00:04:16,220 --> 00:04:25,140
month or so going about the business of packing up my life and getting ready to move 60 miles south.

19
00:04:25,140 --> 00:04:34,300
And it's definitely a bigger undertaking than you might think. Like you think you don't have that

20
00:04:34,300 --> 00:04:41,740
much stuff. Relatively speaking, I don't have that much stuff. Like I have stuff. But I didn't think

21
00:04:41,740 --> 00:04:48,860
that I had that much stuff until you have to move said stuff. And then it becomes a problem.

22
00:04:48,860 --> 00:04:59,020
And leading up to things, I had started moving some small amounts of things, like some small boxes and,

23
00:04:59,020 --> 00:05:11,580
and whatnot, over to the new location. And it was not, you know, not all that much getting done. And I always

24
00:05:11,580 --> 00:05:17,580
constantly like, I had a great plan. I'm going to tell you straight up, I had a great plan. I was,

25
00:05:17,580 --> 00:05:22,220
I was going to start doing, because I knew the date that I was going to have to move out.

26
00:05:22,220 --> 00:05:30,380
So I was like, okay, if I start moving, and knowing that I have to move out on this day in late May,

27
00:05:30,380 --> 00:05:40,060
um, if I start moving stuff during this week, and then I move more stuff during this week, and I handle this

28
00:05:40,060 --> 00:05:47,500
room on this day. So like, I had a great plan. And my girlfriend's a teacher. So I was like,

29
00:05:47,500 --> 00:05:54,060
okay, we can use April vacation week, maybe I'll get like, a big push of stuff done during April vacation

30
00:05:54,060 --> 00:06:05,260
week. And that didn't happen either. So it came down to really, three days in mid May, that I took off,

31
00:06:06,060 --> 00:06:12,540
three days in mid May, that I had to get everything that I wanted to keep kind of ready, packed up,

32
00:06:12,540 --> 00:06:24,780
etc. And I got boxes, and you know, I started boxing stuff up. And there was all sorts of other stuff going on,

33
00:06:24,780 --> 00:06:44,220
that, you know, made it interesting to try to get that done. Anyway, so we, I got the boxes put together, and then I ended up renting a truck. And Kit was there for this process.

34
00:06:44,220 --> 00:07:13,340
And I've said this before, and I'll say it again. You don't know how much you appreciate the rear view mirror in your car, until you can't use it. Because with a box truck, which is what you get when you go to say a Home Depot, or a U-Haul, or a Penske, uh, when you rent a truck, there is a, there is a window in the back of the truck.

35
00:07:13,340 --> 00:07:42,460
But there's a box behind that window, so you can't see directly behind you. So the most nerve wracking part about moving, isn't the fact that, don't get me wrong, it is a nerving and depressing, I will say, to pack up your stuff and watch the space that you've been living in for, you know, four to five years, become a bare empty space again. Because when I moved in,

36
00:07:42,460 --> 00:08:08,640
into the space, I had very little. And people helped me out, and I'm grateful for that. But it's, it's just a mind trip to see the space become more and more empty over time, as you're, as you're starting to move. And you're packing up your life, and you realize how much stuff you have that you don't need, and you get rid of stuff. Like, I made a huge trip to the Goodwill.

37
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:17,220
but it was definitely a weird experience driving one of these big box trucks

38
00:08:17,220 --> 00:08:24,180
and Kit was with me and it was it was definitely unnerving

39
00:08:24,180 --> 00:08:30,460
and I will say it took a while to pack the box truck

40
00:08:30,460 --> 00:08:37,320
so I had packed a bunch of boxes and everything in advance but

41
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:42,900
there was some stuff that I couldn't pre-prepare until the day of

42
00:08:42,900 --> 00:08:47,140
so for example my bed I needed to take the mattress off the bed

43
00:08:47,140 --> 00:08:51,960
and then I needed to take the bed frame apart and the headboard and the footboard and all of that

44
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:56,340
I'm doing that like first thing in the morning which you know

45
00:08:56,340 --> 00:09:00,600
it's a little bit weird taking apart your bed first thing in the morning after you've slept on it

46
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,260
but you know hey that's what had to happen

47
00:09:03,260 --> 00:09:15,080
so I did all that and then we went we got the truck this was a long day by the way we got the truck at 9 30 in the morning

48
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:26,900
drove back I think it took us to like 10 30 10 45 to pack the truck with all the stuff that we needed to put in it

49
00:09:26,900 --> 00:09:45,910
and then we were using straps to tie everything down and whatnot I know this is riveting stuff but it really is like just what I'm going through with life right now and occasionally when we're recording some time usually it's about games or movies or fun ideas but this is just what's going on in life right now

50
00:09:45,910 --> 00:09:59,900
and get the truck packed up it's at least an hour one way in good traffic but we weren't given good traffic

51
00:09:59,900 --> 00:10:04,170
on any leg of the journey

52
00:10:04,170 --> 00:10:09,960
so we're driving the truck down we're hitting construction and or accidents

53
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:33,170
we get there we unload the truck pretty quickly like get unloading the truck into my girlfriend's garage was not that big of a deal in fact that went pretty quickly actually I did such a superb parking job in front of the garage that we were so close to the garage that we kept almost hitting our heads on the brick of the garage

54
00:10:33,170 --> 00:10:52,670
like we had to duck down a little bit as we were taking stuff out but it took about a half hour to get the stuff out of the truck but then I wanted to bring some stuff inside because some of the stuff that I was bringing over was stuff that I wouldn't want sitting in a garage you know like computers and stuff

55
00:10:52,670 --> 00:11:00,460
so by the time I brought some of the stuff inside and we used the bathroom and we headed out it was another hour

56
00:11:00,460 --> 00:11:09,580
and then we got to drive back and driving back ended up taking longer than expected because

57
00:11:09,580 --> 00:11:18,600
traffic more traffic more accidents more construction okay so great so we get back

58
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:27,060
we bring the truck back to the home depot we turn it in we get in my car

59
00:11:27,060 --> 00:11:36,260
I think maybe we stop back at the apartment briefly I had to get gas oh I had to get gas twice I had to gas up the truck

60
00:11:36,260 --> 00:11:44,920
which was like 40 something dollars just for the trips that we made down to the town that I'm moving to and back

61
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:50,820
but then my car needed gas and that was another 50 dollars

62
00:11:51,820 --> 00:12:00,620
So in one day, I paid $200 for a truck rental, $9, well, $10 really with taxes and stuff

63
00:12:00,620 --> 00:12:09,200
for the straps that I needed, and then $100 basically in gas.

64
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,360
Now that's cheap.

65
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,080
That's moving on the cheap.

66
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:19,320
When you move expensive and you hire a company to move you, oh, well, then things get more

67
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:19,720
expensive.

68
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:28,060
And actually, I did buy some new boxes because as much as you can go to a big outlet, or sorry,

69
00:12:28,060 --> 00:12:34,220
not outlet, but what do you call them, like bulk store like Costco or BJ's or whatever,

70
00:12:34,220 --> 00:12:41,640
yeah, you can get boxes for free, but they're used and they're like produce boxes and things.

71
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:47,260
And I really just wanted to get boxes that I knew were brand new, that I knew weren't going

72
00:12:47,260 --> 00:12:48,460
to fall apart on me.

73
00:12:49,020 --> 00:12:53,380
So I did, and those didn't cost all that much.

74
00:12:53,380 --> 00:13:00,160
But yeah, so the majority of the move has happened, but now I still have some furniture that I'm

75
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:00,840
trying to get rid of.

76
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,980
And this, this is a story, all right?

77
00:13:04,980 --> 00:13:11,280
So I have, I had a few, I had like four different pieces of furniture I wanted to get rid of.

78
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:12,780
Two of them I've already gotten rid of.

79
00:13:12,780 --> 00:13:15,980
One of them I'm getting rid of today, and one of them I'm probably going to have to hire

80
00:13:15,980 --> 00:13:16,980
somebody to come and take away.

81
00:13:16,980 --> 00:13:18,200
Okay, fine.

82
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:22,060
And this is where the scam happened.

83
00:13:22,060 --> 00:13:24,360
The scam, sir.

84
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:25,420
The scam.

85
00:13:25,420 --> 00:13:25,940
The scam.

86
00:13:25,940 --> 00:13:26,320
The scam.

87
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:35,160
So there is a social media site called Nextdoor.

88
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:40,200
The entire point of Nextdoor is it specifically is focusing on the neighborhood you live in.

89
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:45,260
So by default, most of the stuff is people who live around you.

90
00:13:45,260 --> 00:13:53,440
And it's mostly people complaining about town governments, people complaining about neighbors

91
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:59,560
not picking up after their dogs, people asking for advice on what's the best mechanic in the area.

92
00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:01,340
You know, stuff like that.

93
00:14:01,340 --> 00:14:07,660
And it's a great place to list furniture and other things that you want to sell or for free.

94
00:14:07,660 --> 00:14:11,880
I also have used Facebook Marketplace as well.

95
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:18,980
But I was super excited because I put up a table and chairs and sofa and a few other things,

96
00:14:18,980 --> 00:14:22,000
and somebody messages me, and she's like,

97
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:27,040
hey, I'm definitely interested in the table and chairs and in the sofa.

98
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,480
I'll pay you full price.

99
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,000
I'm like, full price?

100
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,660
Hell yeah!

101
00:14:33,660 --> 00:14:35,200
That's a lot of money.

102
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,500
At the time, that would have been $275.

103
00:14:38,500 --> 00:14:42,420
And I didn't pay anything for these.

104
00:14:42,420 --> 00:14:43,940
These were given to me for free.

105
00:14:43,940 --> 00:14:46,840
So that's pure profit, baby.

106
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,780
Pure profit.

107
00:14:48,780 --> 00:14:54,860
And so the lady's like, hey, my husband's not on Nextdoor.

108
00:14:54,860 --> 00:14:55,740
Can you text him?

109
00:14:55,740 --> 00:14:56,800
I was like, okay.

110
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,680
So I text the guy.

111
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,420
He's like, yep, so where are you located?

112
00:15:01,420 --> 00:15:02,460
Give him the location.

113
00:15:02,460 --> 00:15:05,580
Can I Venmo you the money?

114
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,640
I'm like, yeah, you can Venmo.

115
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,600
Venmo's a trusted thing.

116
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:15,840
And he's like, yeah, and I'll have my son come and pick up the stuff this afternoon.

117
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:16,540
I'm like, great.

118
00:15:16,540 --> 00:15:18,940
It's like my son and his friends will show up.

119
00:15:18,940 --> 00:15:19,440
Great.

120
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,480
Now, the number is not a number that is in my state.

121
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,280
I checked that because I'm not stupid.

122
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:30,460
But lots of people can have numbers that are not in a particular state

123
00:15:30,460 --> 00:15:31,780
because they could have moved.

124
00:15:31,780 --> 00:15:35,180
So that's not necessarily a determining factor

125
00:15:35,180 --> 00:15:38,160
as to whether or not this person's a real person

126
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,800
or they're a scammer.

127
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,980
So the person's texting back and forth.

128
00:15:43,980 --> 00:15:46,920
They're like, okay, how do I pay?

129
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,680
Like, what's your Venmo address?

130
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,480
I'm like, oh, it's the same as this phone number that I'm texting you from.

131
00:15:51,780 --> 00:15:52,120
Okay.

132
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,280
So then they send a follow-up.

133
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:59,500
Oh, well, to confirm that Venmo, it's asking me for an email address.

134
00:15:59,500 --> 00:16:00,540
I'm like, that's weird.

135
00:16:00,540 --> 00:16:04,040
Venmo doesn't normally ask for an email address.

136
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,300
This is starting to feel a little bit weird.

137
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:11,860
Maybe, you know, if you've never paid a person before, it asks them for your email address.

138
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:13,560
All right.

139
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,720
So the guy says, okay, thanks for an email address.

140
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,580
I submit a payment.

141
00:16:19,580 --> 00:16:20,840
You should receive it shortly.

142
00:16:23,340 --> 00:16:26,180
Now, being a smart person, I'm in my Venmo account.

143
00:16:26,180 --> 00:16:29,700
I'm just refreshing the screen over and over and over.

144
00:16:29,700 --> 00:16:32,340
Refreshing the screen, refreshing the screen.

145
00:16:32,340 --> 00:16:34,840
I'm not seeing any money coming in.

146
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:40,200
And then I get an email that looks like it's from Venmo.

147
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:51,280
But I can immediately tell it's not because Venmo doesn't use the email address v underscore enmo at aol dot com.

148
00:16:51,280 --> 00:17:05,720
Like, it was pretty obvious immediately that it was somebody trying to scam me because it was like, oh, well, this person tried to send you funds from a Venmo business account.

149
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,000
And you don't have a Venmo business account.

150
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,820
Please call this phone number for us to release the funds or something.

151
00:17:12,820 --> 00:17:17,000
I'm like, so I immediately called out the person in the text.

152
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,400
I was like, this is not a real email address for Venmo.

153
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,160
And also the phone number is not for Venmo.

154
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:24,640
This is a scam.

155
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,260
I am blocking.

156
00:17:26,260 --> 00:17:28,460
So I blocked and reported the phone number.

157
00:17:28,460 --> 00:17:37,060
Then I reported the account on Nextdoor as being a compromised or phishing account.

158
00:17:37,330 --> 00:17:44,090
Then I emailed three different email addresses to report the email address that was a scam.

159
00:17:44,090 --> 00:17:48,480
And then I posted about it on Nextdoor so everybody knew.

160
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:55,500
And I will say, even though I didn't fall for the scam, it's one of the more demoralizing things that you go through.

161
00:17:55,820 --> 00:17:57,960
Because it gets your hopes up.

162
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,850
It's like, oh, I'm going to get rid of this stuff.

163
00:17:59,850 --> 00:18:02,820
I'll make a little bit of money because moving is expensive.

164
00:18:02,820 --> 00:18:04,800
You know, I've spent way too much money.

165
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,180
And like right now, I don't have a microwave.

166
00:18:08,180 --> 00:18:10,920
I don't have like any cutlery.

167
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:16,820
I don't have any of this stuff that's necessary to like live a normal life.

168
00:18:17,850 --> 00:18:22,520
And so like it's painful being in a transition state between point A and point B.

169
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:33,460
And because of that, you know, a little extra money and getting rid of some stuff that you need to get rid of brings a great sense of hope and relief because it's like I'm moving on with the process.

170
00:18:33,820 --> 00:18:35,000
But guess what?

171
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,200
Somebody instead tried to scam me.

172
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:42,830
And it just makes you feel so defeated because you're sitting there.

173
00:18:42,830 --> 00:18:44,400
It's like, oh, I was going to get rid of this stuff.

174
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:44,920
This is great.

175
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:49,520
I don't want to deal with the stress of the fact that it's going to be like the day before the move.

176
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,920
And I still haven't gotten rid of this stuff.

177
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,180
Well, it didn't work out.

178
00:18:55,180 --> 00:18:57,680
And that was unfortunate.

179
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,140
Luckily, I have been slowly but surely getting rid of this stuff.

180
00:19:01,140 --> 00:19:07,740
But it's been an interesting series of events that have led me here.

181
00:19:07,740 --> 00:19:09,460
And I don't regret it.

182
00:19:09,460 --> 00:19:13,480
And I'm going to say something that I've talked about with my girlfriend.

183
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,720
And it's just, you know, this is an open conversation.

184
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,350
So I'm not sharing anything I haven't shared with her.

185
00:19:18,350 --> 00:19:29,200
But it's like also trying to figure out how to fit all of the stuff into a place that largely belonged to somebody else up until now.

186
00:19:29,980 --> 00:19:34,720
You know, imagine you live someplace for eight years and now somebody else is moving in.

187
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,040
You had everything set up the way you wanted.

188
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:45,500
And even then, she didn't really have the place set up the way she wanted because of a water heater incident that happened.

189
00:19:45,500 --> 00:19:47,590
Read into that what she will.

190
00:19:48,300 --> 00:19:53,680
So it's taken her some time to get everything reorganized and back into shape.

191
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:59,740
And, you know, she's finally getting the place back into the condition she wants.

192
00:19:59,740 --> 00:20:01,380
And now somebody else is moving in.

193
00:20:01,380 --> 00:20:05,820
And she needs to figure out how to accommodate them and make them feel part of the home.

194
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,330
So it's got so many layers.

195
00:20:09,330 --> 00:20:14,200
And it's, as I kind of have been describing, it's been a big, long process.

196
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:15,240
It's a lot of work.

197
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,500
And you might say, well, gee, like, is all that really worth it?

198
00:20:18,500 --> 00:20:20,380
And for me, the answer is yes.

199
00:20:20,380 --> 00:20:21,740
Otherwise, I wouldn't be doing it.

200
00:20:21,740 --> 00:20:25,720
You know, I love this person.

201
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:26,850
She loves me back.

202
00:20:27,580 --> 00:20:28,330
I would hope.

203
00:20:28,330 --> 00:20:34,200
Kit is falling asleep as I'm telling my story.

204
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:35,500
Rude.

205
00:20:35,500 --> 00:20:38,300
Whoa, what is this person doing?

206
00:20:38,300 --> 00:20:43,330
Rude, sir.

207
00:20:43,330 --> 00:20:47,440
You're supposed to be riveted and hanging on my every word.

208
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:52,320
But, yeah, the last episode, you did most of the talking, so.

209
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:53,800
That's fine.

210
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,480
But, yeah, I don't know.

211
00:20:57,580 --> 00:21:01,420
Like, so, you've been there for parts of this experience, Kit.

212
00:21:01,420 --> 00:21:07,350
What have been your general observations of the move?

213
00:21:07,350 --> 00:21:10,260
Cheese quesadilla.

214
00:21:10,260 --> 00:21:13,240
Didn't we get a cheese quesadilla?

215
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:14,260
No, we got pizza.

216
00:21:14,260 --> 00:21:17,420
We didn't get cheese quesadillas.

217
00:21:17,420 --> 00:21:19,090
We got tasty, tasty pizza.

218
00:21:19,090 --> 00:21:22,400
Although, it's a quesadilla.

219
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,400
Not your favoritest pizza.

220
00:21:25,940 --> 00:21:31,400
Yeah, there's a pizza place that my significant other and I both enjoy.

221
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:36,540
And, to Kit's credit, he didn't give in to the hype.

222
00:21:36,540 --> 00:21:41,500
To Kit's credit, he had his own opinion.

223
00:21:41,940 --> 00:21:44,140
And, it did not match our opinion.

224
00:21:44,140 --> 00:21:46,090
And, that's okay.

225
00:21:46,090 --> 00:21:48,560
I actually patted him on the back and said, good.

226
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:53,180
I'm glad that you have a different opinion on it than we do.

227
00:21:53,180 --> 00:21:54,860
And, you're standing up for your opinion.

228
00:21:55,620 --> 00:21:59,380
So, my opinion is, hey, this place has pretty good pizza.

229
00:21:59,380 --> 00:22:04,440
And, my significant other, her opinion is, wow, this place has really good pizza.

230
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,740
And, Kit, your opinion was, eh.

231
00:22:07,740 --> 00:22:08,600
Eh.

232
00:22:09,360 --> 00:22:10,160
It's fine.

233
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:14,820
It's pizza, but, it's fine.

234
00:22:14,820 --> 00:22:16,300
It's not my thing.

235
00:22:16,300 --> 00:22:18,560
And, I was like, you know what?

236
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,800
Like, I jokingly said to him, how could you, sir?

237
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:22,560
How dare you?

238
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:23,420
How dare you?

239
00:22:23,420 --> 00:22:26,060
But, then I actually said to him, hey, you know what?

240
00:22:26,060 --> 00:22:27,280
I respect your opinion.

241
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,520
You don't like that particular pizza that much.

242
00:22:31,100 --> 00:22:41,960
I mean, to be clear, if it's pizza, and you put it in front of Kit, generally speaking, he's gonna eat it.

243
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,900
It's like if you give a mouse a cookie.

244
00:22:44,900 --> 00:22:48,260
You know, if you give a mouse a cookie, it's gonna want some milk.

245
00:22:48,260 --> 00:22:53,140
If you give a Kit some pizza, he's gonna want more pizza.

246
00:22:53,140 --> 00:22:54,740
Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow.

247
00:22:54,740 --> 00:23:00,860
So, the move is going pretty well.

248
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:07,780
This is my last week in resonance at my current location.

249
00:23:07,780 --> 00:23:21,680
But, I will say that if, if the release quality, so if the editing quality and the, uh, overall sound quality has been a little bit off for the previous episode and for this one,

250
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:27,480
it's because I'm, I'm still kind of getting set up at my new place.

251
00:23:28,740 --> 00:23:36,500
And, if I have to edit on my laptop, I don't have the same plugins available to me that I have on my desktop computer.

252
00:23:37,380 --> 00:23:40,720
Because, right now, like, and you might say, well, why don't you set up your desktop computer?

253
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,760
Well, because I, I have to set up my desk.

254
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:44,200
Well, why?

255
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,140
There's nowhere to set up anything.

256
00:23:46,140 --> 00:23:53,140
Yeah, we're still working on rearranging the space so that I can, you know, fit some stuff in.

257
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:58,480
And, that's not, like, a negative.

258
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:03,580
It's just a matter of, like, people's lives have to be rearranged to make room for me.

259
00:24:03,980 --> 00:24:08,600
So, it's, it's, it's an interesting journey to say the least.

260
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:13,020
But, pretty much the majority of the way there now.

261
00:24:13,020 --> 00:24:18,540
There's very, you know, there's very, very little left to move.

262
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:25,140
Um, the majority of what I have left that I'm going to have to move are cleaning gadgets and supplies.

263
00:24:25,140 --> 00:24:31,580
Because, I have to keep them here, where I am now, in order to clean up the place so I can get my deposit back.

264
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:32,400
And, it's not filthy.

265
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,800
I actually vacuumed on a regular basis.

266
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:39,480
I generally was pretty good at keeping the counters decently clean and all of that.

267
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:47,140
So, hopefully, knock on wood, I'll get my $1,200 deposit back pretty quickly.

268
00:24:47,140 --> 00:24:48,940
And, I'll be in good shape.

269
00:24:48,940 --> 00:24:52,940
So, that's something that's been going on.

270
00:24:52,940 --> 00:24:55,460
I know Kit didn't have much to say about it.

271
00:24:55,460 --> 00:24:57,460
He's been part of the process, though.

272
00:24:57,460 --> 00:24:58,180
He's been a trooper.

273
00:24:58,620 --> 00:25:01,980
And, it's kind of upheaved his life a little bit, too.

274
00:25:01,980 --> 00:25:05,500
Because, I mean, he's not used to my girlfriend and her daughter.

275
00:25:05,500 --> 00:25:07,480
He's still getting...

276
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,380
I mean, like, I don't think you hate them.

277
00:25:09,380 --> 00:25:11,080
Right?

278
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:15,740
You don't hate them, right?

279
00:25:15,740 --> 00:25:20,020
You're not going to murder them in your sleep like you did the last...

280
00:25:20,020 --> 00:25:20,660
I mean, nothing.

281
00:25:20,660 --> 00:25:22,380
In my sleep?

282
00:25:22,380 --> 00:25:23,340
How would I do that?

283
00:25:23,340 --> 00:25:24,960
No, murder them in their sleep.

284
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:25,300
Sorry.

285
00:25:25,300 --> 00:25:26,580
I don't know.

286
00:25:26,580 --> 00:25:28,800
You could be a sleepwalking murderer.

287
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:37,080
I mean, sir, you bury a lot of your angst and your rage and hold it deep inside.

288
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:38,680
I mean, that's got to come out eventually.

289
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,540
Wow.

290
00:25:42,540 --> 00:25:45,660
You're doing such a great job of articulating yourself.

291
00:25:45,660 --> 00:25:47,000
Meow.

292
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:47,900
Okay.

293
00:25:49,220 --> 00:25:51,460
But, Kit's also getting used to the cats.

294
00:25:51,460 --> 00:25:53,380
Kit and cats.

295
00:25:53,380 --> 00:25:59,640
I like it when there's a specific cat that likes bothering Kit at bedtime.

296
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:03,160
Comes in and just tries to take over the bed.

297
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:04,880
So, like, Kit's getting...

298
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,180
That was only, like, those two days.

299
00:26:07,180 --> 00:26:09,720
So, I don't know if he's going to do it again.

300
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:10,800
Oh, you know.

301
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:11,880
He probably will.

302
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:13,480
He's a cat.

303
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,500
Cats have habits.

304
00:26:16,500 --> 00:26:16,940
Anyway.

305
00:26:16,940 --> 00:26:18,000
But, yeah.

306
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,340
So, I know this is me talking a lot.

307
00:26:20,340 --> 00:26:24,860
But, it really is what's been pervasive in my life right now.

308
00:26:24,860 --> 00:26:28,420
And, of course, there's money concerns tied up into all of that, too.

309
00:26:28,420 --> 00:26:31,000
You know, it costs money to move.

310
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,500
It costs money when you don't have stuff at your house to be able to cook food.

311
00:26:35,860 --> 00:26:40,800
So, you have a tendency to order out more because you can't cook food.

312
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:41,520
Like, don't get me wrong.

313
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:42,980
I have stuff I can eat right out of the fridge.

314
00:26:42,980 --> 00:26:50,800
But, it's like, well, after you're working your ass off packing stuff, like, and you get to the end of the day,

315
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:56,420
do you really want to be eating, like, lunch meat and cheese out of the fridge?

316
00:26:56,420 --> 00:26:57,000
Yes.

317
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,520
When you could have a nice, hot McDonald's sandwich?

318
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:01,920
The answer is yes.

319
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:02,980
That's your opinion.

320
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:06,800
But, yeah.

321
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:08,940
So, it's been a journey.

322
00:27:08,940 --> 00:27:11,960
And, we're getting near the end of it, which is good.

323
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:20,200
And, hopefully, when we record, well, I don't even know when we record the next episode that I'll be fully moved into the new location yet.

324
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:26,600
Or, I might be moved into the location, but it's still going to be getting stuff ready.

325
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,440
And, getting stuff taken care of.

326
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:35,440
And, it's going to be little by little, you know, for example, getting my bed moved.

327
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,940
And, it's going to be little by little, you know, getting my bed moved in and set up and taking hers apart.

328
00:27:37,940 --> 00:27:40,580
Because, we have mutually agreed my bed is betterer.

329
00:27:40,580 --> 00:27:42,280
But, stuff like that.

330
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,620
And, trying to make things comfortable for everybody.

331
00:27:47,620 --> 00:27:49,680
So, it's a journey.

332
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:50,620
Anyway.

333
00:27:50,620 --> 00:27:52,920
So, not the most entertaining show.

334
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,660
But, it's been a long, stressful journey.

335
00:27:55,660 --> 00:27:57,000
It's not terrible.

336
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,380
It's not.

337
00:27:59,120 --> 00:28:00,760
It's just a lot.

338
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,340
It's dealing with a lot.

339
00:28:02,340 --> 00:28:06,240
And, again, Kit, I commend you for helping.

340
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:11,020
And, trying to make it a seamless transition.

341
00:28:11,020 --> 00:28:15,060
Speaking of seamless transitions.

342
00:28:15,060 --> 00:28:18,860
Is this person waiting for me?

343
00:28:18,860 --> 00:28:21,340
Is this the...

344
00:28:21,340 --> 00:28:22,980
No.

345
00:28:22,980 --> 00:28:23,940
No? Okay.

346
00:28:23,940 --> 00:28:24,960
I was like, what?

347
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,380
Because, I know somebody's coming to pick up the couch today.

348
00:28:29,380 --> 00:28:30,420
So, anyway.

349
00:28:30,420 --> 00:28:34,080
Well, speaking of transitions.

350
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:39,160
If you like what you're listening to, feedback@nontopical.com is the place that you can share that.

351
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,620
I'm going to have to rush through this because we're just about back.

352
00:28:41,620 --> 00:28:47,840
Also, if you want to support us, we are a value for value podcast.

353
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,400
That means, if you get value out of it...

354
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,060
Please show us some value in turn.

355
00:28:53,060 --> 00:28:56,140
And, you can do that by, as I mentioned before, emailing us.

356
00:28:56,140 --> 00:29:01,620
Or, by going to https://ko-fi.com/nontopical.

357
00:29:01,620 --> 00:29:04,800
And, toss us a few bucks so we can buy some delicious cheese quesadillas.

358
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,420
All right.

359
00:29:07,420 --> 00:29:10,580
So, I'm sorry to be short with you, podcast audience.

360
00:29:10,580 --> 00:29:12,000
But, we are at our destination.

361
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,260
So, we are going to get going.

362
00:29:14,260 --> 00:29:16,660
But, thank you so much for listening.

363
00:29:16,660 --> 00:29:18,280
Thank you for being part of our lives.

364
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:19,180
We appreciate it.

365
00:29:19,180 --> 00:29:20,420
Until next time.

366
00:29:20,420 --> 00:29:20,620
Bye.

367
00:29:20,620 --> 00:29:20,820
Bye.

368
00:29:20,820 --> 00:29:21,120
Bye.

369
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:21,400
Bye.

370
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:21,420
Bye.
