Matt and Kenise are back with another episode of their podcast. They discuss various topics, including the challenges of taking care of cats and dogs. They share their personal experiences with their own pets and discuss the issues they face, such as litter boxes and allergies. They also mention the idea of leaving pets in their wills and recommend finding a suitable person to take care of them. They briefly mention their tarantula and snake, which they found new homes for before their daughter was born. Overall, they emphasize the responsibility and challenges of owning pets. Hi, I'm Matt. Hi, I'm Kenise. And this is Who's Going to Pay These Bills? And Other Life Questions with Matt and Kenise. You know, we're the same people from last time. We didn't get fired. Back with Episode 2. So, hello, everybody. Thank you for joining us again. You decided that the last 30 minutes that you listened to was worth a second try. And here we are. We got a couple of questions for our listeners. And we have some things that we could talk about, too, maybe. Yeah, like mini malls and them being reappropriated for places for old people to live. Uh-huh. And what were our other two questions? So, okay. So, the first question that was submitted on our Spotify questions spot. So, if you're listening to us on Spotify, you can go in and you can submit a question under the episode. And then we'll read it on the next episode. And we'll answer your question with them and bigger. Yes. And with unverified information and... Lots of awkwardness. Yes. And lots of excitement, though, about the information. The questions. That's right. We're willing to answer any questions pertaining to life. That's right. So, the first question we got was, who's going to take care of my cats? And, you know, I feel like I have a lot of experience in this department of cats because I've had cats. And cats... They're something. They're special. They are special creatures. That's for sure. I've had two, three cats. We've had three cats in my life. Like, personally owned. And they all were a mess. And cats, like, you think that there's going to be this cute little thing that's going to sit on your lap. And then their claws come out and they get into your skin or they use you as a pillow and they claw at your skin as they try to fluff it up to lay in. Yeah. Oh, and that litter box. Oh, my gosh. That is the worst, like, that is the worst invention. Like, okay. Like, as humans, right, we evolved from, like, you know, pooping outside or whatever to pooping in chamber pots. But at some point we knew, like, even the cavemen knew that you don't poop where you eat. So, they pooped in a separate place to get away from the smell. Chamber pots were dumped. Thrown out the window. Yeah, thrown out the window, but they were dumped. And now we can flush. So, we know, as humans, we need to get away from that. With litter boxes, it's just a box. Like, there's no getting away from that smell. I don't care how good the litter smells. At some point, you know a person has a cat in their home. But we haven't come up with something economically sound to where the cats can relieve themselves and we can get away from that smell. So, your whole house doesn't have to smell bad. Well, we had this cat, R.I.P. Violet. Oh, yeah, Violet. And she was inbred, probably. She showed up in a box on the doorstep of a cat place, a cat place in Harrisonburg. And we were going to rescue her brother, Vincent. And we were just going to get Vincent. But then Michelle started petting Violet. And they were like, well, you could get half off the second one. And so, we went ahead and did it. And that was just a big mistake. I know. They try to get you with being a bonded pair. Like, and I get it. Like, you don't want to separate them. But if I can only afford one animal, I can only afford one. They never even liked each other that much. I don't know why they, I don't know. But Violet, she was twitchy and spastic, real sweet. She purred a lot. But she turned out to have, like, a kidney issue. And so, she peed a lot. And so, I got one of those robot litter boxes to try to help. It was really expensive. And it, like, turns slowly after they go in it. And it's supposed to drop the stuff, like, into this bin. And then it turns back. And it's supposed to be clean. But because she peed so much, it would get, like, clumpy and stuck. Clumpy. And then it would just be a big old mess. And it was not. It was not. Yeah, because that stuff is not built with elderly animals or, like, animals with the non-typical situations in mind, right? Like, this is not helpful. And then they came up with that pretty litter, which shows you what ailment your cat may have. Like, if the litter turns a certain color, that cat has a UTI. Or if it turns another way, its gut health is bad or whatever. And I'm like, who is this for? But, yeah, cats are an issue. And a lot of people love them. They do. I like other people to have cats. I like other people's cats. Also, I grew up with a cat. She was in our house for 16 years. And then we got another cat. And I went off to college. And when I came back, because I'd been separated from her hair for so long, it made my eyes start to swell up to be around her. So I became, like, allergic to her because of lack of exposure. And that was awful. Like, my eyes would swell up, like, crust over. Awful. Because I just wasn't exposed to the dander anymore. Yeah, and I'm like, man, it is not worth it. I'm like, thanks, cat, with me. But just, like, who's going to pay for these cats? Who's going to pay for these dogs? I love dogs. I have a gold retriever. Her name is Harley. She's over here chewing the fallen soldier carcass of one of her stuffed animals. She removes all the stuffing, and then she just chews on his little body. It's like, what are we – what in the world? But, anyway, she's sweet. She ain't when she's looking right at me. She's like, mom, why are you talking about me? And dogs are just a mess because, like, they can be the sweetest things in the world, and they get excited, and they go barreling down after somebody, and they look horrified. It's like, but she's sweet. She won't hurt you. Well, if somebody is scared of a golden retriever named Harley, they have other issues because she is, like, the sweetest-looking dog ever. There's nothing scary about her. Not at all. I don't know why. She's, like, a little tail slobber. She's like, I know you're talking about me. Aw. Oh, my goodness. And then your dog, Bear and Blue, Blue is sweet. He's just intrusive. He's a mini dachshund, and so they're real special, too. Probably up there with cats. Yeah, he lounges like a cat, like invades your space. Oh, yeah, he's constant. He's, like, on our shoulders, literally, or in our lap, or following us around. He's just real needy. He was a pandemic puppy. We went to Tennessee and got him in a snowstorm. Oh, my gosh. I didn't know you drove to Tennessee. Yeah. We loaded up our other dog and our kid, and we drove all the way down to Tennessee. And got him. And got him. How many were in his litter? I don't know. He was the last one. He was the last one. It was like somebody else had, like, wanted him, and then they had to back out. And the breeder posted, and Michelle had been following them for a while. They're just, like, a hobby breeder, just, like, a nice, at their house, they do it, just for people that want pets and want a good, healthy dog. And, actually, he is very healthy. He's just crazy, because he's a dachshund. But, you know, we've had no, like, luckily no medical issues with him. Well, he is very sweet. He doesn't like to separate his space from yours. Once you are in his house and on his sofa. You're his person. You're his person, and that is it. Oh, my goodness. And poor Bear, he's just allergic to who knows what. He's always itchy. His feet are itchy. Yeah, I think he's allergic to grass, which is unfortunate for a dog. Because he has to go out. Well, you know what it is. You've got to get some AstroTurf. Yeah. You can't just re-do your whole backyard with fake football grass. No. And then you spray it. Ew. You spray the football grass. Imagine that hot in August. Hot August poop and pee spray. Or worse. Or worse, he gets, his stomach gets upset. Well, and that's been an issue recently, too. I don't know what is going on. But, yeah, he's been having some issues that are creating. Poor thing. He's sweet, though. He is so sweet. He's come a long way. He was a rescue, and he was very timid. And then he, I tell you what, it takes the right family. And the Bailey's definitely are the right family. He's really good. He was just very scared. He barked at me for two weeks when we got him. Anytime I would, like, come into the room or walk into the house or whatever, he would bark at me and get scared. And now he loves you. He'll walk around with you and all that. Face rubs. I know. Yeah. He's a sweet guy. But, anyway, going back to the original question of who's going to take care of these cats, it's not going to be me. Nope. You know what? I feel like we should. Is this something that they should, maybe we should recommend that they leave the cats in their will. Maybe to, like, a person they don't really like that much, like an in-law. We left our pets to my wife's sister. It's not that we don't like her, but we just feel like she would be a really good adoptive auntie if we move on, and our pets need somewhere to go. They're going to go live with Auntie Nicole. Well, it's going to be quite unfortunate because I have a tarantula named Charlie, and I don't know where she's going to go because too many people don't like spiders. Michelle would take them. Michelle would take her, but, you know, that would be untimely. But, yeah, the tarantula situation, that's like we all need to have a snake, and nobody was going to take him. He was sweet, though. Sam was very sweet. Did he end up in the landfill? No, he didn't. Oh, we've got to talk about that. Oh, man. Okay. So before our daughter was born, the room that was our spare room and Sam was in, we were like, well, we can't have a newborn and a ball python in the same room. That would not work out. I mean, they could cuddle. Yeah, they could, but we ended up giving him away to another snake enthusiast, and so he went on to a good home after that. But we also had a bearded dragon named Bean, or his name was Bean, but when my daughter got here, she renamed him Bean because she couldn't say Bean. So, anyway, we had a bearded dragon named Bean, and he was the grumpiest and yet sweetest little fellow you could ever imagine, and he liked to get up on the glass on his back legs and just sit there and stare at you when you would come downstairs. Some of it was to anticipate, you know, getting his worm and crickets and stuff. It was just him being surly. So we let him out, and he'd roam around downstairs and try to run under furniture and all kinds of stuff. Anyway, he was very well loved. We had him since he was a little teeny fellow. He was pretty big. Yeah. Like over a foot long, right? Yeah, yeah. Like he could lay on my forearm, and from his head to his tail was probably my whole forearm. He was a sweet boy. And, well, one day I was on the phone with one of my friends. I was like, look at this joker being all fat and hungry, and I took a picture of him, but his eyelid didn't close, and I was like, oh, no! And I opened his thing, and his body was all stiff. He had gone on that, did reptiles go over the Rainbow Bridge? I think they do. Okay, so all animals. They all go over the Rainbow Bridge. So he has gone over the Rainbow Bridge, so he's with our boxers. But, yeah, he was 13 years old, and he was surly. And where we live, you cannot bury your animals. Well, you're not supposed to bury your animals in the backyard, but I grew up in a country. You're not? Mountainous. No, because if other wildlife come along, and you didn't dig them deep enough, they can be dug up. Yeah. So he was, poor thing, properly disposed of, and now resides at our local landfill for the end of his existence. Hopefully that urn from last episode doesn't show there. You should have put him up on the mountain. Right, I should. I should go see if that urn is still there, and just put his little body in the beam, right? And now you have a friend for the afterlife. Oh, my gosh. Animals are something. Isn't it crazy how they become, like, really like family members? Like, they become, like, just almost it feels like permanent installments in your life. Obviously, they have a short lifespan, but it's like, something changes when they're not there. The house feels different, or your routine is different, you know? Mm-hmm. But, oh, well. Life is life. That's right. And then you die. That's right, and then you die. Our second question was, is this all a simulation, and who's running it? It was, hold on, let me pull up the exact word in here. Oh, that's right. Because it was a two-parter. Oh, okay. And the first part was, are we in a simulation? If so, who's running this dumpster fire? That's right. Well, it's not us, because I'm going to tell you right now. You know I'm in the Matrix, right? Because that was supposed to be like, I guess. When they're eating steak, and the guy's like, this is the best thing ever, and I know it's fake, but I'm going to eat it anyway, right? And I'm like, yeah, that's what I want. If this was simulation, I need the upgraded version, because right now, I'm on the minimum base plan. Mine is more like The Sims, like The Sims 2 or 3, like the more basic ones, and it's like you forget to do stuff in the game, and then they're pacing back and forth. That's basically my life, because I forget what I'm doing, and then I go one place, and I'm like, oh, wait, I've got to go back to the other place. So it feels like I'm in The Sims, which is a simulation. Oh, my gosh. Have you heard this theory, you know, and not to get into the whole spiritual realm or whatever, but have you heard this theory that we live, we get another chance at life, and you keep getting another chance until you get it right, and then that's when you move on to the afterlife, right? And so it's like, what in the world, what in the world was I doing last time? I love my life. I love my husband. I love my friends. I love my kids, but what was going on last time to where I didn't come in this one with like a trust fund or an uncle that could leave me money when he went on to the next world, or I just wake up one day, and there is a butler. He's like, hello, madam. Here's your house coat. We'll take you down. Breakfast has already been served. I feel like, at what point do we cash in those coins so we can upgrade to that? Well. Like, how many cycles of this do we have to go through? You need The Sims 4. Oh, my gosh, yes. Or The Sims something else. What is the upgrade package? Like, you can just upgrade. I want to trade this in. I'm done with this lease. I'm ready to trade in. I don't know. I don't know. Sometimes I think, you know, you hear people saying money won't fix everything. I'm sorry. It will fix a lot. It would fix the worries I have. This is where I would laugh more and not sound insane. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Okay. So we're going to take a little break for our sponsor.

It's the place to be. So, Matt, how's your week been so far? How's your weekend? Because it's Monday. It's good. It's fine. I did a lot of baking at the end of the week, and then I did market by myself, so that was exciting. Yeah. And everybody was, they were like, well, how much of the baking did you do? I'm like, all of it. And you felt very proud. We talked about that. Like, there's something about creating something or having people acknowledge your hard work and appreciate all that went into it. Because you guys have a lot of repeat customers, and that is amazing. Yeah, we see a lot of the same people every week. And that's awesome, you know, like knowing that when you're providing something that is going to nourish another individual, right, give them an experience. But you guys created that. Like, you've got this sourdough starter. What's her name? Franny? Mm-hmm. Franny. Who is... Oh, Franny. I know. She is a tough girl. Yeah. And doesn't want to grow. No. And she's like, you know what? Y'all not baking this week? It's too cold. It's too hot. It's too humid. She sounds like me. Uh-huh. Or premenopausal. She's a premenopausal sourdough starter. Well, she's not a starter anymore, right? She's a fully formed lady. But, yeah, no, it's something amazing about that. Like, I write books. I've written two books. You know, it's something when people appreciate the art that you've created or the world that you've created or, like, you guys, the bread that you create. Like, you can be acknowledged by other humans living the same simulation experience. Mm-hmm. To get back to our question. The dumpster fire simulation. That's right. But, yeah, like, it's just a whole thing, you know? And you've got to figure out what's real, what's not, what things are going to push your buttons this week. Control-Alt-Delete. Oh, my gosh. Yes. Yes. Or what is it? Control-Z. Undo. Can I take that back? That would be a good one to have. Yeah, it would. Undo, undo, undo. Undo, undo, undo, undo, undo. Yeah, you know? But only to a certain point, just like it is on the computer. Because then you don't want to mess up the fabric that is your life. Right? We didn't take a sponsor break, right? No. Okay, this is just a regular. Wait. This is just a pause. Okay. So, yeah. Oh, my goodness. So, now we're going to move on to our weird thing of this episode. Now, Matt, you were telling me about this. I don't know anything about this. Well, so here's – I don't know. Maybe other people don't do this, and maybe I'm just one of the weird ones. But I play this game on my phone, and, you know, you expect to play a game, and you might be part of a team. This one has, like, a team aspect to it. And so you can, like, help your teammate, or you can play. There's, like, bonuses and stuff if your team plays so much or wins so much or whatever. Okay, I'm following. It's supposed to be fun. But people get into drama. And, I mean, it's not like Facebook drama. It's not TikTok drama and the comments and stuff. This is, like, this is weird phone game drama. So people were getting really upset because some of these games, they have a time limit. And they get upset because they – you have to partner with the other players to get, like, the bonuses and stuff within the amount of time. And so people were signing up or, like, clicking yes, they wanted to do it, and then they weren't playing. And so people were getting upset that they can't make it and these people have not played enough. Okay. And so they said, you know, they said things like – You know, that's crazy to me that there's even a phone game chat that needs to be monitored. Like, I just want to play a game. I don't want to talk to y'all. And that's why I don't play those games. Yeah, they said, we have eight players with no activity for the team battle. And, unfortunately, one of them also signed up to do the Dragon Nest on my team. Oh, no. And someone said, I got one as well. And then they said, geez, I might not finish the Dragon Nest this time. Super annoying. And then the first person, Alex, said, I'm trying hard by myself. Oh, my gosh. And then they said, it's okay to be inactive every now and then. This is just a game to pass time. And we all have lives. Yeah. Yeah. But I feel like some – with some, they are rarely giving, only taking. Oh, my goodness. Now, that is – That escalated. That did escalate. Because, like, okay, my husband is a gamer. And it's a different type of gaming, right? He – console gaming and PC gaming. And, like, it's serious. Like, if you're in a game and you sign up. Like, I remember one time he was playing – I was at World of Warcraft. And he was in a guild. And they had scheduled times that they would be raiding so they could get specific, like, loot. Yeah. And if you didn't show up, it was like you had to have a doctor's note. Yeah, they were upset. They're like, listen, you need to participate. In order to be a part of this guild, you need to participate in so many games or so many raids. And they had time, like specific time. Specific time, yes. And so I feel like when you have that mentality, like, if this game is your thing, right, if you have no other vice, if this is your thing, then, yes, you take it that seriously. Like, listen, some of us on here are trying to get this dragon's nest or whatever. So if you don't take it seriously, then you need to go about your business. That's why I feel like those games should always have, like, if you're just here as a casual player, this is the room you need to be in. But if you are serious, hardcore, have logged more than 100 hours in this game, then you need to go on about your business. Now, I'm not going to lie. I have over 130 hours in Animal Crossing, I think. And it is amazing. And when I'm in it, I'm in it. I don't want to talk to nobody. I don't want to take care of my villagers. I want to build my house up. I want to go grow my wheat and my pumpkins and plant my money trees, which I really want it to be a real thing. Yeah. I mean, that's a good... I want to plant 10,000 coins and wake up to 30,000 coins. Oh, that would be awesome. Maybe in your next simulation. Oh, my God, no. Oh, my God, no. Oh, my God, no. I need to be... I want to be... I don't need to be a billionaire, but a millionaire would be nice. I think so. Like, invest it. Invest some stuff. Like, have that money work for you. I'm not trying to do this 9 to 5 anymore. I can't do it. I can't do it. Yeah. Who's going to work these jobs? I know. Who's going to work these jobs? It can't be us. Nope. I can't. I cannot. The hustling... First of all, I'm too tired, right? Like, you're trying to do a side hustle. I already work 40 hours a week. Then, I have two kids. I'm at the age of 10. Okay. That's two jobs right there, right? Yeah. Mm-mm. Side hustle what? Yeah. And my problem is, like, I think about applying to jobs. Because right now, I'm doing the bakery thing with Michelle. And then I do all the house stuff. Yeah. And it's a lot. But sometimes I think about a job so I can get the insurance. And then Michelle could stay with the bakery or whatever. Right. But I forgot where I was going to go with it. That you don't want to work? That you don't want to work as a digital? Oh, but even just applying. Even looking at the job descriptions, and I'm like, nope. Yeah. Like, you just, like, because... The stuff they put in there. Oh, I know that. And it's like, there are certain types of people that I just don't want to be around. Mm-mm. And there are certain jobs that only those people apply to. Yeah. No thank you. If I can't even get through an application without being annoyed with their BS. Right? And it's like, stick to the junk you already know. Yeah. You know, where I'm at now is fine for what I got going on. Yeah. You know, and that's what I miss. That's what I miss about going back to our lies and deceit segment. Mm-mm. Our segment of lies and deceit. When our parents told us, you get a good job, you show loyalty to the company, and the company will take care of you. That's not the case anymore. Not in 2024. No, not in 2024. Back in 1984, maybe? Mm-mm. 1964, maybe? 2024? Not so much. Not so much. Especially with the boom of the gig economy. People don't want to be beholden to one. They don't want to put all their eggs in one basket. Enron. Remember Enron? All those people. All those people for, Lord bless them, they trusted that company. They put all of their stocks and bonds and retirement into that company, not knowing that they were being swindled by the same people who kept saying, trust enough. We're taking care of you. Here's your Christmas ham or your Christmas turkey or whatever. Meanwhile, they're off in Tahiti. It was their own employees that they did it to? Yeah. Yes. And they're off in Tahiti with their Cayman Island bank accounts that can't be touched. Mm-mm. They'll love that. Yeah, white collar crime, right? They had to create a whole new division of crime because these things have happened to people. Ponzi schemes. Pyramid schemes. You know, I'm going to tell you. I am a believer that people can make it, right? That ultimately we have our own design, our own creativity that can propel us through as a species. But then MLM. How did we end up there? He's targeting me. Trying to suck all my life force by telling me I can do this. I can sell that tupperware or that makeup or these energy drinks. I just can't talk to people. You're already using these products. Just use ours and show people that they're higher quality. Never mind you just spent $58 on a bottle of lotion that you'd give a Walmart for $3.75. But because it's part of your product, your company, you're encouraged to buy it. Love that. How did we get so far from pull yourself up from your own bootstraps to let's swindle the next person? Right? Capitalism. Yes, yes. Why work harder when you can have someone else do it for you and reap all the benefits? Yeah. I've been listening to this guy that's a history professor and they post clips of his lectures on TikTok and stuff. And it's really interesting to hear him because he's like talking about stuff that I never learned about in school. Like explaining how we ended up here, where we are based on like the last, you know, how many thousand years or whatever. And he's really interesting because he's like, well, yeah, he just he says what it was and who was doing it, the English. And why, like what they were interested in, what was their like keeping them back from from expanding and how they figured it out. Like England had no they had no old trees that they could cut down to create ships for their Navy because all their old trees have been cut down by the Romans. So they had only new growth trees and they needed more old trees for the Navy. So they got other countries like Scandinavian countries or something that still had the old trees to sell them those trees, trade with them or whatever. And they like pushed these trees across the water to England to create their Navy back in the day. Like this is like hundreds of years ago. So what you're telling me is we need to blame the Lorax. Yeah. Because he speaks for the tree. Yeah. Well, they were like, we want to expand, but we can't do that because we're on an island and we need to expand. But we can't go anywhere without more big boats. And then we see what happens. Yeah. And then there we are, folks. There we are. There we are. I don't know. Well, we will reset because that was depressing. Yeah. Here's another word from another sponsor or maybe the same sponsor. Did we get a new sponsor? Yeah. I don't know. All right.
