Replacing The Microwave (Also Known As The Micro-Wah-Vay)

Replacing The Microwave (Also Known As The Micro-Wah-Vay)

After an important discussion about the microwave (also known as the micro-wah-vay), we theorize that GLP-1s are basically commoditized now.

Meanwhile, to fix the microwave door, Eva's husband drove actual screws through it (that’s not how microwaves work) and we get an update on Kami's small claims case against her former broker.

Eva considers an unexpected opportunity to get her very loose turkey neck skin fixed with the new Junera laser, which was at the top of the wish list someday, and now that day is next Monday.

Kami reports back on her first EpixNxt order and walks through the whole thing: a thorough intake form, telemedicine approval, and a tracking number in under a day — coming in around $125 a month, less than the $170–$300 the local compounding pharmacies quoted.

Questions answered by this episode

  1. Why are compounded GLP-1 medications getting cheaper?
  2. How do online tirzepatide prices compare to a local compounding pharmacy?
  3. If I've been off a GLP-1 for months, how should I restart my dose?
  4. What is the Junera laser and can it tighten loose neck skin after weight loss?
  5. Is loose skin on the neck caused by weight loss or genetics?

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.080
But there's just no way that I would have been

2
00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:05.519
able to do all of this by myself. No, I

3
00:00:05.599 --> 00:00:07.480
just know. I mean, I have never even stepped in

4
00:00:07.559 --> 00:00:09.839
a court for a traffic ticket, y'all. I am a

5
00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:10.439
good girl.

6
00:00:14.279 --> 00:00:17.160
Okay. So the doorbellt just rang and it was a

7
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:17.920
new microwave.

8
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:21.440
The new microwave, and why why do you need a

9
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:21.800
new one?

10
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:26.600
We have been in this house for twelve years, so

11
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:29.600
all the appliances are twelve plus years old. They were

12
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:32.799
new when we moved in. But sure, no, I'm surprised

13
00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:36.920
they've lasted this long. Okay. So what started happening with

14
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:39.640
the microwave was when you pulled the door, like the

15
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:43.719
front of the silver part up, the front would just

16
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:45.600
pull away from the actual door.

17
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:47.960
So it just wore out.

18
00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:51.119
There's nothing wrong with the actual microwave, but the door

19
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:56.000
started started to fail and it didn't affect anything except

20
00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:01.039
as just like I live in a jinky trash house. Fine,

21
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:07.000
just like yeah, it's all good totally. So then like

22
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:11.120
a week later and my husband decided he's going to

23
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:15.920
try to glue it. So he glued the door back together,

24
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:17.680
and I came in the kitchen and had like the

25
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:19.439
clamps holding it together.

26
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:20.040
Mm hmm.

27
00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:22.640
Then he decided it was dry and took the clamps off,

28
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:25.000
and then I opened the microwave and I immediately pulled

29
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:26.040
the door right off again.

30
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:26.879
Totally wrong.

31
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:33.000
Yeah, yeah, so then he decided to screw it back together.

32
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:36.480
I don't think metal and microwaves. I don't really. I mean,

33
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:38.400
I heard this story that that's not a good idea, but.

34
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:40.920
You're the second person who has said that exact thing

35
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:42.799
about screwing it back on. So I'm just going to

36
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:45.079
show you. I picked her.

37
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:46.640
I love this so much.

38
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:52.120
Yes, scared it right there. Okay, screwed it back on.

39
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:54.319
Oh that is classy.

40
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:56.799
So then I was like, okay, I really don't want

41
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:00.480
to spend five hundred dollars on a new microwave right now.

42
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:02.040
Yeah, but I thought, well, I'm.

43
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:03.840
Just going to look up how much is a new microwave,

44
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:04.719
Like it's like.

45
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:07.000
The built in kind, not just not like the you know,

46
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:09.199
the sixty dollars one you can learn your counter.

47
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:10.240
Over the range one.

48
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:12.599
In my mind, it was going to be like yeah.

49
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:15.879
And it turned out it was really like a one

50
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:19.319
and seventy nine dollars microwave. So I was like okay,

51
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:22.120
can you police just buy a new microwave. And that's

52
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:23.759
who was at the door was the guy needed me

53
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:26.680
to sign for the new microwave. Was massive, So I

54
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:29.360
just left it out there because I I'm not going

55
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:29.879
to lift it.

56
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:34.479
But I think it's totally okay. Yeah, so yeah, absolutely fine.

57
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:38.319
What will be next to the fridge or the dishwasher?

58
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:41.919
Inquiring minds want to know.

59
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:44.120
Please don't let it be the fridge.

60
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:47.840
Yeah, do you have a home warranty? Probably not?

61
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:50.520
No, okay, no, I have a red neck.

62
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:54.919
You don't need one, then you're fine. You got a redneck.

63
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:58.800
He duct tapes things together, as you can see by

64
00:02:58.840 --> 00:02:59.479
the evidence.

65
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:05.159
Oh my god, there's this meme. I'll have to send

66
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:07.400
it to you. And for those listening, I know that

67
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:09.759
there's got to be somebody out there who's seen this before.

68
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:12.520
So uh, I don't know if I'll be able to

69
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:14.879
say it with a straight face. So this it's this

70
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:21.800
very elegant British lady and she's like doing some kind

71
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:24.479
of recipe and she has to warm up the milk

72
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:26.960
right and for whatever baking thing she's doing. She's like

73
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.599
and then I put the cream in the micro wave.

74
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:33.479
Oh we've talked about this.

75
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:35.960
Have we talked about this? Because every time it comes

76
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.919
to I see it, I like it's more hysterical to

77
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:41.439
me every time I listen to this stupid fucking meme.

78
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:44.120
Oh it's like the meatcro wave.

79
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:50.199
Oh no, okay, speaking of mispronouncing, my daughter has decided

80
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:54.719
it the word is not fragrance, it is fragrance. And

81
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:59.159
the fragrants correct her when she says fragrance. She says, Nope,

82
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:06.840
it's fragrance, and she will not let it go. Yes.

83
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:09.560
So they're on their fourth day of their new school today.

84
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:12.960
It's been a great week. They've done really well. They

85
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:14.719
both come home happy every day.

86
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:17.920
Good. Cordelia's first day was today, so she's still at

87
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:18.600
school right now.

88
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:19.720
Oh yeah.

89
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:23.199
We did meet the teacher last night, and I think

90
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:26.959
it's gonna be good. So you like your teacher, you know.

91
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:29.439
I talked to her for a few minutes. It was

92
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:30.879
a lot of chaos because there's a lot of people

93
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:33.000
coming in out, and I did kind of say, hey,

94
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:35.839
I want to have like a little one on one

95
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:37.600
chat with you to kind of talk to you about

96
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:39.959
like some things we experienced last year that I want

97
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:43.360
to make sure you know whatever, And and when I

98
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:45.160
told her a couple of things, she's like, she kind

99
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:47.319
of looked at me like, what are you talking about?

100
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:49.399
Like what She's like, Okay, so I need you to

101
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:51.319
give me some you know, we'll talk, but I need

102
00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:55.040
some like specific examples of some things. Okay, well I

103
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:56.920
can give you a half a dozen. So so I

104
00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:00.439
sent her a message today so we'll hopefully said up

105
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:02.800
a teachers love that. On the first day school, I know,

106
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:06.800
I was like, I am so sorry that I have

107
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:11.959
entered your orbit, but here I go. And when I

108
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:14.480
was chatting with her, it wasn't I didn't get a

109
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:18.560
lot of emotional range. So that tells me that she's

110
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:23.079
like super cerebral and text in intellectual kind of person

111
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:26.360
which okay, fine, you know, because it wasn't like, oh

112
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:28.560
my god, I'm so sorry to hear that, like let's chat,

113
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:31.040
you know. It was just like, okay, let me know

114
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:35.279
if you would like to schedule something next week. All right,

115
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:38.079
So I think it's going to be fine. I just

116
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:41.079
think that's just kind of like her personality. It's not bad.

117
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:42.720
Like there's a lot of people like that's fine, So

118
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:45.240
not everybody needs to be you know, level ninety nine

119
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:49.560
like me, So we will see.

120
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:55.319
Yeah, all right, Ellie did get in trouble on Tuesday.

121
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:57.040
I want to guess what you got in trouble for?

122
00:05:57.160 --> 00:05:59.360
Oh, for talking in class?

123
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:01.519
No, no, no carrying?

124
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:03.839
Oh okay, because she's in trouble, I go to you,

125
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:04.720
but all right, go ahead.

126
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:08.720
They didn't really get in trouble. It was observed that

127
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:11.959
Ellie got bored because she got done reading before everybody

128
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:14.800
else and decided to do ballet and that was distracting

129
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:16.680
for everybody else that was not done feeding.

130
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:23.879
I'm not mad about that at all either. You're not mad.

131
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:27.240
And the comment from her teacher was it was quite beautiful.

132
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:33.519
What kind of wrong place, wrong time? But you're very tided.

133
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:37.720
We're gonna be fine there. There's only nine kids in

134
00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:38.680
her class.

135
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:42.839
And I would imagine that like, you know, because so sorry,

136
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:44.519
but like when you have a class like we're got

137
00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:46.279
twenty five kids in a class, like if one of

138
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:48.160
them is fucking off in the back room, like nobody

139
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:53.439
else is really you know anyways, no, but nine day,

140
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:55.319
I could see why that would be a problem.

141
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:57.720
Yeah, so one more week and then they'll get divided

142
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:00.399
into two smaller groups. So then it'll just be like

143
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:05.319
five and four and the the faster readers will be together.

144
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:09.079
So it should. It will work itself out and it'll

145
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:12.079
be fine. I asked her, is there something you could

146
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:14.079
do other than ballet when you get done first? Like

147
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:15.560
could you read or color? Yeah?

148
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:19.759
I can? Okay, good, that's great. So I know we

149
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:24.000
left off last time with I was going to share

150
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:25.120
an update on my lawsuit.

151
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:28.759
Oh yeah, but can you do your medication first? Because

152
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:29.959
I've been dying for that update?

153
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:34.480
Oh yes, so okay, So I went onto the website

154
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:40.600
epics epics d r X exdrx dot com place my order.

155
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:44.040
So this is my whole experience so far for last week.

156
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:48.600
I actually was it epx n x T orpx t

157
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:52.319
RX because there's site hold.

158
00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:55.480
Hold please just we need something. You just gotta put

159
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:58.480
something flashing on this. I don't know. Sorry for those listening, y'all.

160
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:00.000
We will. We're gonna try to get our ship together.

161
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:02.600
It's not I really am going to have to put

162
00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:04.600

163
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:06.160

167
00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:17.399

170
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:30.240
only site. I believe.

171
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:37.600
Yeah, well at any rate, So I go on too Epics. Next,

172
00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:44.720
I order my tres appetide. I plug in the coupon

173
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:48.759
code which is less of you ten got ten percent off.

174
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:53.000
And then the next step is you get an email

175
00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:57.759
and the email will say, please fill out our medical

176
00:08:57.799 --> 00:09:00.720
intake form and there's a link to it. For some reason,

177
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:05.440
the link was not working. Temporarily, they fixed it. They

178
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:07.679
sent me a new link. Got all that sort of

179
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:11.320
put I mean, the questionnaire. I was very impressed that

180
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:16.960
it was so thorough. It asked like height, weight, like

181
00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:21.320
every single medication that you're on, and the dosage. It

182
00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:23.639
talked about like what your goals were. It talked about

183
00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:27.480
you know, any surgeries you've had family history of, you know,

184
00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:30.320
heart issues or cancer or I mean, it was very,

185
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:32.759
very in depth, just like you would go if you

186
00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:35.559
were sitting in front of a doctor. Okay, when you

187
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:38.600
complete the form, you'll get a text message and you

188
00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:41.320
do have to upload your ID so they know who

189
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:43.200
you are and they can verify that you are who

190
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:47.279
you are, right it'll say thank you for uploading your ID.

191
00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:52.039
The telemedicine provider will now review your clinical information and

192
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:54.399
reach out to you with any questions and will let

193
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:58.200
you know when your treatment's been approved. And then the

194
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:03.039
next mass text is that they've reviewed everything, they've approved

195
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:06.000
me and you know, we'll reach out to you if

196
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:08.240
there's any questions to let you know. But your request

197
00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:10.559
has been approved, so you didn't even have to have

198
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:13.639
a meeting. No, So what's so I would imagine that

199
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:17.879
if there were questions or you maybe didn't fill a

200
00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:20.840
form out properly, or they're like, okay, two and two

201
00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:24.000
is not making four here, then they would call you

202
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:28.559
and schedule a time to chat. Right. So today I

203
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:31.639
got a message saying that you know your request has

204
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:34.039
been approved and said to the pharmacy, we'll contact you

205
00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:36.960
within twenty four hours to complete your order. And then

206
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:41.879
twelve hours later I got a tracking number. Nice, yeah,

207
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:45.240
so real quick, So this actually will be delivered and

208
00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:48.200
this was this afternoon, just a few hours ago, and

209
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:49.960
so i'll have it tomorrow.

210
00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:51.960
Excellent.

211
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.480
So it was super quick, easy, like it was you

212
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:56.519
know when I reached out to say, hey, the link

213
00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:58.759
isn't quite working. They were on top of it right away,

214
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:03.200
emailed me right back, so you know it was I

215
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:04.240
was I was pretty impressed.

216
00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:06.799
And you paid how much for three months?

217
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:10.720
Was it four forty nine and then ten percent off

218
00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:11.519
that yeah?

219
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:15.559
So yeah, so like one twenty five a month for ors.

220
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:19.080
Out, yeah, which is like unheard of because even getting

221
00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:24.480
it at my like local pharmacy that compounds it was

222
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:26.559
still one hundred and seventy something dollars.

223
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:28.960
Oh yeah, mine, my doctor was telling me it was

224
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:30.600
like going to be three hundred a month for the

225
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.399
local pharmacy, absolutely because all the people got to mark

226
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:36.399
it up all the way through, right, because what's the

227
00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:38.799
point if they're not marking it up somewhere, right.

228
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:41.799
Yeah, So I'm going to start that. I probably will,

229
00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:45.600
so tomorrow's Friday. Normally I would I would dose on

230
00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:47.960
Fridays anyways. So what I will do, you guys, is

231
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:49.840
I'm going to when I get the package, I'm going

232
00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:55.919
to do a whole unboxing video that will show exactly

233
00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:01.600
what everything looks like. And if there's any literature that's involved,

234
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:04.440
I'll go over that. So okay, we'll add that in

235
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:11.600
as a little bonus video at some point.

236
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:14.279
And you've been off for quite a while, so since

237
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:17.480
you've thought about your dosing for okay prob, so you're

238
00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:20.240
basically starting from zero, right mm.

239
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:22.240
Hm, So that is going to be the next kind

240
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:24.639
of the next question is I'm curious to see when

241
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:28.720
it arrives if there's like dosing instructions in there, so

242
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:33.559
we'll see what that looks like, and I probably will

243
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:36.679
start out if there's a recommended dosage, I'll probably start

244
00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:41.360
out with like maybe half that for like two or

245
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:44.200
three weeks, and then kind of go up. But I

246
00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:49.519
think that overall this is like a huge value. I'm

247
00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:50.799
really kind of surprised.

248
00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:53.759
Yeah, me too. I'm really happy.

249
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:55.039
Definitely.

250
00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:58.399
It was like years of anxiety for me figuring out

251
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:00.679
how am I going to get this in a way

252
00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:04.919
that was easy and not gated. And so this last

253
00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:07.600
order that I did from I can't even remember who

254
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:10.919
it was that I heard about from a different doctor

255
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:13.200
was the easiest one I've ever done, and it was

256
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:16.200
really similar to what you did, but it was still

257
00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:21.440
like six hundred something m And so basically what I've

258
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:24.639
deduced from all of this is that it's pretty much

259
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:31.279
all arbitrage at this point. Like so if it's all

260
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:36.320
coming from the sample ice and it's all arbitrage, then

261
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:39.759
it's pretty much I don't even want to say it.

262
00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:41.360
Is it commoditized? At this point?

263
00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:44.399
You use really big words. I don't understand.

264
00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:48.120
Oh okay, sorry, I spent too much time with private

265
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:52.759
equity people who use big financial terms and then I

266
00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:53.559
have to google them.

267
00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:55.399
Water that is it right down for me if you

268
00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:56.440
don't mind.

269
00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:58.360
Yeah, okay, commoditized?

270
00:13:58.440 --> 00:13:59.200
What does that mean?

271
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:04.440
You know how Botox, disport, Seeman, Javot like all the

272
00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:07.200
different products are basically the same and they're all basically

273
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:10.080
the same price. Yeah, that's what that means.

274
00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:10.759
Ah okay.

275
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:17.639
And so whoever, whoever is the lowest is the one saying,

276
00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:20.080
you know, I'm going to make the least margin on

277
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:22.840
this product, and I'm going to take all the business

278
00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:24.360
away from all of you, and then you're going to

279
00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:27.360
have to lower your price. So this is what's called

280
00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:29.360
the race to the bottom. Is we're all headed towards

281
00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:33.320
the floor, right, which is good for us, It's good

282
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:35.879
for patients, Yeah it is. It's not good if you

283
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:37.879
built a whole business around it.

284
00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:41.759
Being being a price that it was. Yeah, yeah, I.

285
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:45.000
Mean two appointments ago. I'm still going to my old

286
00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:48.919
plastic surgeon who I still love, my friend who got

287
00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:52.399
me started, and I paid like thirteen hundred or fourteen

288
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:53.960
hundred for three months.

289
00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:56.360
Yeah, I think when I started for semi glue Tide,

290
00:14:56.360 --> 00:14:58.200
I think it was like seven hundred and fifty dollars

291
00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:00.799
for three months. Yep.

292
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:04.360
Yeah, all right, Well, happy to be here.

293
00:15:04.440 --> 00:15:05.679
M hm.

294
00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:08.279
Now nandlle for important legal update.

295
00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:13.399
Yes, in the middle of June, I had my bench

296
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:16.600
trial for my lawsuit. For those that need a little reminder,

297
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:20.320
I've been suing my former broker for the commission that

298
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:21.960
I earned on the home that I sold to my

299
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:25.039
parents so they can move to Indiana. Still hasn't paid me.

300
00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:31.960
It's been a year. The when I say trial, it's

301
00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:34.120
a bench trial, just you know, your small claims court.

302
00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:36.279
It's like you and the judge and the other guy. Right,

303
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:38.440
It's not like, you know, this isn't law and order.

304
00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:42.759
Donk donk, Like sorry, but I did kind of, you know,

305
00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:45.720
explain my whole side. He explained his side. His side

306
00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:49.159
was well, that's just what the contract says, okay. And

307
00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:54.039
she's like, so you got your twenty five percent. You

308
00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:56.600
know that you guys agreed upon and what entitles you

309
00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:01.600
to her? Well, she left the company, is she not

310
00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:05.480
allowed to do that? Like? This woman was like amazing,

311
00:16:05.679 --> 00:16:08.600
And at the end she slammed her hand on the

312
00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:10.799
desk and she's like, I am frustrated. This has been

313
00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:17.720
pending since last August. And I'm like, hear really mm hmm, Yeah,

314
00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:21.399
I filed suit against him, I think August twenty fourth

315
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:23.919
of last year, and it's the first week of August.

316
00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:27.120
Now yep. My attorney and I were both kind of

317
00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:29.799
like shocked that she didn't just rule right then because

318
00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:32.240
everything she was saying was like looking like she was

319
00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:35.399
going to rule in my favor. And then she's like, Okay, well,

320
00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:37.759
I'm going to take this under advisement and review everything

321
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:39.120
just so I can be rake sure that I'm really

322
00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:40.879
clear on all the blah blah blah. And then she

323
00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:44.039
says to me, like I understand real estate stuff. My

324
00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:47.200
husband is a real to her, and I was like, oh,

325
00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:49.879
I'm definitely getting the money, like she's she knows what

326
00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:55.600
it's how this works, right. So yeah, thirty days go

327
00:16:55.679 --> 00:17:02.080
by and I'm like I'm emailing with my attorneys and

328
00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:06.119
I'm like, y'all the fuck I said, because he said

329
00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:09.039
he's like, typically if they don't rule right away, then

330
00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:13.240
usually they'll have a ruling within thirty days. Okay, so

331
00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:17.000
still don't have a ruling. Still don't I said, so

332
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:20.880
what what now? Like I thought that it was like, oh,

333
00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:23.200
thirty days then they rule, and it's like that's what

334
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:26.599
it is. Well, apparently in Indiana in small claims court,

335
00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:30.519
the judge doesn't have any timeframe that they're required to

336
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:36.200
rule within after the trial. I'm like, the fuck is

337
00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:38.160
this shit?

338
00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:40.559
Why didn't she just close it out?

339
00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:45.079
I don't know. So I'm like, well, what what do

340
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:50.119
we do now? He says, well, your next option is

341
00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:54.119
to file and this is a truth thing, a lazy

342
00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:57.200
judge motion. Oh my gosh, it's.

343
00:17:57.119 --> 00:17:58.880
That actually called that.

344
00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:01.160
That's the common vernacul for it. I don't know if

345
00:18:01.160 --> 00:18:04.119
the actual document doesn't actually say that, but that just

346
00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:07.319
basically means that they flip it to a different judge.

347
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:08.960
I guess, and we start over. I'm like, fuck that

348
00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:15.200
and shit, no, so come to find out there and

349
00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:17.200
I think I've talked about this before, where there's another

350
00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:21.480
agent that he screwed out of money. Yeah, and she's suing,

351
00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:27.319
and her court date is we're in the first week

352
00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:34.920
of August. Her court date is August twentieth, exact same situation, literally, verbatim,

353
00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:40.920
exact same contract, exact, same everything. So I'm suspecting that

354
00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:44.799
she wants to hear that case and then rule on

355
00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:45.720
both of them.

356
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:47.319
A same judge has both case.

357
00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:50.039
Oh yeah, same judge, the same attorney that I have,

358
00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:52.680
she has, and the same judge. And we did that

359
00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:56.000
all on purpose for this reason because okay, you know, so.

360
00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:00.720
It's a pattern, and we want to pattern. Do you

361
00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:01.240
know that one?

362
00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:02.920
I don't know that one, but I like it already.

363
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:06.359
I'm like, yeah, that's a pattern. What I don't know, like.

364
00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:11.960
Go noodle or so it's a kid's video. It's like

365
00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:13.799
from a one of the kids channels.

366
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:18.799
Sorry, okay, that's I love that. So we're in hurry

367
00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:20.519
up and wait mode.

368
00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:25.599
You know that sounds hopeful though, yeah, I And so

369
00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:28.160
just remind me it was like five grand for you,

370
00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:29.839
but it was a lot more for that other agent.

371
00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:32.920
Right, It was six thousand for me and express was ten.

372
00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:38.119
Okay, so you haven't given the lawyer six thousand dollars now,

373
00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:38.720
have you? No?

374
00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:43.799
I've given them probably three, all right, And I'm for

375
00:19:43.960 --> 00:19:46.359
my legal friends, right, I sing for my legal fees.

376
00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:50.759
And in Hamilton County, uh, they will award up to

377
00:19:50.920 --> 00:19:53.839
ten thousand dollars in small claims court. So I'm like, okay, well.

378
00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:56.400
Oh so you might get nine or ten back.

379
00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:58.640
I'll get if I do, because we're asking for ten,

380
00:19:58.839 --> 00:20:01.519
which is what basically what I've paid in legal fees,

381
00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:04.880
and I still have. It's it's what I will have paid.

382
00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:07.000
So I've paid I think three thousand so far, and

383
00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:09.039
then I have like a bill for like thirteen hundred

384
00:20:09.039 --> 00:20:12.960
dollars that I haven't paid yet. But there's just no

385
00:20:13.079 --> 00:20:15.680
way that I would have been able to do all

386
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:18.200
of this by myself. No, I just know. I mean

387
00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:20.200
I have never even stepped in a court for a

388
00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:22.440
traffic ticket, y'all. I am a good girl.

389
00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:27.480
Yeah, so all right, so yeah, so that justice is

390
00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:28.319
going to get served.

391
00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:33.559
I can feel believe that. Also, fun fact, because my

392
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:37.400
husband checks the online court cases every day. He's checking

393
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:39.000
every single day. I don't even look at it because

394
00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:41.279
I know he's looking at it, and he'll just tell me, yeah, whatever.

395
00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:45.960
So he sends me a screenshot of like another lawsuit.

396
00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:53.440
Apparently this guy's being sued by a credit card for

397
00:20:53.559 --> 00:20:54.559
one thousand dollars.

398
00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:58.160
Now this is a thing. Okay, have you gotten into

399
00:20:58.200 --> 00:21:03.480
Caleb Hammer No? Oh my gosh. Okay. So one of

400
00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:06.119
my favorite shows that I listened to follow me here,

401
00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:10.960
There's Providence is Cody Sanchez the Big Deal. And I

402
00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:14.160
just really like her show most of the time. I'm

403
00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:16.880
I almost never miss an episode. Once in a while,

404
00:21:16.920 --> 00:21:18.720
she's got a guest that I'm like, and this is

405
00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:23.200
I'm bored. She had Caleb Hammer on, and he's that

406
00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:26.119
guy who does the financial tear downs of these people

407
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:28.640
who spend their money all really badly and like they're.

408
00:21:28.559 --> 00:21:31.240
Oh he does like the he's like on TikTok or

409
00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:34.400
on like Facebook shorts or whatever. Yeah, my husband, my husband.

410
00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:36.680
He'll show me stuff and you'll be like you see

411
00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:39.319
you see, You're like, like, I'm doing what these people

412
00:21:39.359 --> 00:21:40.920
are doing and justifying, Oh, I'm going to get this

413
00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:43.599
credit card and use the cash back for block And.

414
00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:48.279
You need to watch him. He is so entertaining. Good.

415
00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:50.799
Okay, he calls people the R word.

416
00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:55.119
I mean, I won't even do that, but it's very

417
00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:58.279
funny to watch and so He does a whole series

418
00:21:58.880 --> 00:22:02.079
a sub series of his podcasts where he pulls these

419
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:05.359
kinds of tiktoks about people thinking they're not going to

420
00:22:05.400 --> 00:22:07.720
get sued for not paying a credit card for one

421
00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:10.240
thousand dollars, and then the credit card company comes along

422
00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:13.319
and sues them, and they're like on TikTok trying to

423
00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:16.039
find ways to get out of it, as if TikTok

424
00:22:16.160 --> 00:22:18.200
is the source of all creation in the world.

425
00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:21.039
Well, definitely not a good source for legal advice. I'm

426
00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:24.000
just going to put that out there, you know, maybe

427
00:22:24.039 --> 00:22:26.720
what leggings are kind of like hit right now? Yes,

428
00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:31.920
legal advice no. So yeah. So it's like, apparently it's

429
00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:38.279
a Caesar's Palace credit card. What Yeah, so I'm guessing

430
00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:42.000
that at one point in time they went to Vegas

431
00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:44.839
and he opened up this Caesar's credit card and charged

432
00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:46.319
it up on who the hell knows what.

433
00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:48.359
You can't gamble on a credit card.

434
00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:51.599
What was he doing? Buying eight dollars was like a

435
00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:55.480
rewards card thing, you know, like you get like a

436
00:22:55.519 --> 00:22:58.039
Nordstrom card, Like you use your Nordstrom card, you get.

437
00:22:58.000 --> 00:22:58.960
Points at Caesars.

438
00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:02.640
Yes, okay, And then yeah, I think this is going

439
00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:04.720
to sue you. I was like, and I think like

440
00:23:04.759 --> 00:23:10.519
one of his last names was like sixty seven dollars.

441
00:23:10.839 --> 00:23:12.640
I feel like we need to get Caleb Hammer on

442
00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:16.680
this case. The tecture bad with money. Yeah, okay, so

443
00:23:16.839 --> 00:23:18.720
I cannot wait to see how this turns out.

444
00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:21.880
Now, that's that's the update. It's just it's the wheels

445
00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:29.319
of justice turned slowly like a snail's pace, but in reverse.

446
00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:31.720
That's I can't.

447
00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:37.480
I'm like, it's fine, Well, I have to get back

448
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:40.799
to work. I wished me lock having my neck procedure

449
00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:43.640
on Monday. So okay, let me just show you one

450
00:23:43.720 --> 00:23:46.000
last time for posterity. How bad it looks?

451
00:23:46.759 --> 00:23:51.039
Can you seek? So? Is this like? So I've heard

452
00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:54.839
a couple of things like the jowls are either like

453
00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:57.839
a weight loss thing or genetic thing. Like sometimes it's

454
00:23:57.880 --> 00:24:00.279
like even if you're like the thinnest person, when ever,

455
00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:02.920
you just can get this stuff here and it doesn't

456
00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:05.279
it this is genetic? What do you know about that?

457
00:24:05.319 --> 00:24:07.400
True? Yeah, I mean have a really good friend who

458
00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:10.319
got her neck done when we were like thirty because

459
00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:13.720
it was genetic. But this is all weightless weight so

460
00:24:13.799 --> 00:24:15.960
it's not going to touch the bands. But it'll get

461
00:24:16.079 --> 00:24:19.559
some of this kind of loose wrinkly.

462
00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:20.480
So is it a laser treatment.

463
00:24:20.559 --> 00:24:23.359
Then it's a laser and the laser looks like a

464
00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:26.880
piece of spaghetti that goes under the skin. It's got

465
00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:30.319
two wavelengths. It melts the fat and it tightens the skin.

466
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:33.359
And then for I think she said three days, I

467
00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:35.240
have to wear a cuckoo head wrap, so I won't

468
00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:37.519
be leaving the house and I'll make sure that I

469
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:38.599
wear it on the show next week.

470
00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:40.960
And also very nice update for I'll need to make

471
00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:41.680
fun of you a little bit.

472
00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:49.720
My genera laser treatment, which is not widely out there yet,

473
00:24:50.200 --> 00:24:52.799
but the person who is doing mine is the most

474
00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:55.359
experienced one probably in the world at this point.

475
00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:56.839
Oh, that is very exciting.

476
00:24:56.920 --> 00:25:00.759
Yeah, take pictures, lots and lots of pictures.

477
00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:02.640
Okay, bye, bye night.

478
00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:05.119
I didn't know you were gonna leave me so soon,

479
00:25:05.200 --> 00:25:07.440
but I'm not sad to see you go.

480
00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:12.960
I like it's funny because I remember my mom, the

481
00:25:13.039 --> 00:25:17.680
Deborah being like my age and like losing her mind

482
00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:20.920
about like the creepiness. Not that she had like a

483
00:25:20.920 --> 00:25:23.640
lot of like skin folds of wrinkles in her hair,

484
00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:26.160
but it was like She's like, look, look what's happening

485
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:27.799
to me, And then she would do like this, and

486
00:25:27.839 --> 00:25:29.720
it would be like, all like the skin's just creepy,

487
00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:32.559
like it just just happens, right, And I just remember

488
00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:36.960
being like, okay, like you know, I'm a teenager, like

489
00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:40.559
I don't give a shit about my mom's fucking wrinkles.

490
00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:43.839
I do care now though, So Mom, I do care now.

491
00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:47.200
Okay, I'm not really that vain. And now I wasn't

492
00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:50.519
looking for it. It just wasn't not an opportunity that

493
00:25:50.559 --> 00:25:51.599
I was going to decline.

494
00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:54.519
No, I think this is great. I think you're in love.

495
00:25:54.400 --> 00:25:59.200
