The virtue. More job cuts yesterday, like 7,000 people. 7,000 total for Macy's made the big announcement yesterday and said 850 of those job cuts will be here in Atlanta, but it's going to be the regional office. So it's not, they're not going to close any stores, but it is bad news if 7,000, actually the West Coast Regional Office is going to have more job cuts than the Atlanta office, but still 7,000, which is about 4% of their workforce. Times are tough and everybody's, you know, knows someone who was affected, Melissa said earlier this morning that their sister got snagged up in some downsizing. Our intern Ben Jamein. Oh yeah, he just lost his gig. He lost his gig too. Talking to some police officers the other day, and they were explaining about the furlough, Jen and I were having a conversation with somebody who works on media, where they're forcing everybody in the company to take one week unpaid leave over the next year. Like next three months, right? Everybody just gets a week off, but unfortunately you didn't get paid for it. So it's affecting everyone and we are going to talk to Molly on the voice disguiser who actually has a tough decision to make because she gets
to choose who gets laid off. That's unfair. Hey Molly. Hi. How are you? I am okay. I have a tough decision. Well, it sounds like there's probably a lot of bosses in your same position having to choose who to let go and who not to. Yeah. Yeah. Basically, my situation is that I'm a team leader and I have five people that work under me. Five? Do you say five people? Yeah. Okay. And last week, I was told that I had to let go of one of my team. Okay. And specifically, basically someone who was hired in the last year. So out of my five, that left me with two options. Well, that is a single mom. Her husband actually just left her. How many?
Molly, can you speak up a little bit more like maybe right into the phone receiver? It's hard to hear you. That's a little bit. Okay. Okay. Sorry about that. That's okay. So once again, she's single mom, three kids doing this on her own. The bad news is she's really the weakest link in the team. She is by far the least qualified employee. And how long has she been there? She's been here about eight months. Okay. So she is employee number one. Mom will just call her mom. It's not the same thing in the company for about eight months. I was about to say whichever, yeah, whichever ones are the least amount of time, but you said about the same. Okay. Yeah. That's kind of the problem. They're really on that level. They're really the both the two options. The other folks in
my team have been there significantly longer. So it's kind of like they're safe. Of course. And then the other one, what is what is her situation? The other one is she's a 23-year-old. The great news is she is really the model employee. And she will really be going far in the company. But here's the scoop. She lives with her mom. She actually has a second job as a model. She doesn't really need the money per se as opposed to the single mom who is struggling right now. I mean. Well, is she living with her mom? Oh, I'm sorry. I was just wondering if she was living with her mom because her mom's having financial trouble just maybe to help her mom out or to help herself out? I don't know. I don't know. I think she's just doing it to like save money because she can and she wants to buy a house and she can save by living with her mom. Wow. So if you took the personal out of it and you were just making a strict business decision, you would let go of the mom.
Oh, yeah. Okay. But just because she's not as good of an employee. Yeah, no question. Which way are you leaning? Well, I'm sort of torn right down the middle because you know, you know, in this environment, it just seems, it almost seems cruel to let go of the mom. It's there. It seems cool. It's going to put this woman in an incredible hardship. Is there any potential for her performance to improve? I'm just saying from a devil's advocate, like she's had a, she's had a hard year. She's had the hard, she probably had the hardest eight months of her life working for you guys. So is there any, do you think there's any room for improvement on her part? Like, like how much, yeah, how much of the issues over the past year might directly be related to her personal problems? That's a good question. I would say they are pretty, you know, related to the personal problem. But even without them, she was, you know,
she wasn't the top employee. She was a, you know, I was going to say solid employee, but literally, I don't, I don't see it improving. It could go back to where she was still a weak link. But without some of the issues, like, you know, she's often leaving early, you know, dealing with personal business on the phone, which I understand because she's sort of dealing with you kids and, and, and, and, and they care. And like, like, I, I get it. That's what's definitely come up recently. But it wasn't, it wasn't on an exemplary employee before that. I mean, hey, employee before that. So I could see that it would shift a little bit, but not significantly. Hey, Kimber, welcome to the virtue. Good morning. This, this absolutely is serious me. Okay. I am a single mom and I depend on my job because I'm a single mom. You're
thinking of whether or not you're going to fire me. I don't even think so. It has nothing to do with the job. I reached this lady with my employee so I could fire her. Well, she's, I think she's trying to be sympathetic because she's a single mom. I think if she was a single mom, she would have fired her already. So would you fire the single mom? Absolutely. If she's not up to performance, I mean, it's unfortunate. And I would certainly feel bad about it. As a, as a my job as a manager, I can't take that into consideration when I'm weighing people off. I have to do what's best for the company. You know, I would certainly give her a reference if, if it, you know, if it was appropriate, but I'm sorry. It's, you know, your personal life has nothing to do with how well you're performing. And if you're not at the punch in the Southern way, it is. Yeah. That's interesting to hear coming from a single mom. I can move on. That's harsh. Being a mode like women are more emotional and can connect with the family life other than personal life. So yeah. And I guess
she's trying to be sympathetic one because I mean, you're not guaranteed to get another job for a long time. Once she fires either one, you know, they're not going to automatically turn around and get another job. And then I wonder though, you know, because I, I totally get, I'm just bringing up an argument about bringing the emotional or the actually the personal into the work. But like when you negotiate for your salary, don't you bring the personal in, don't, doesn't a company feel or at least sometimes will negotiate a higher salary if somebody comes in says, hey, I got two kids. I got to take care of them. I got to do this. And then they end up getting paid more because they have more people to take care of. And I've always heard that when you're negotiating, you leave your personal life out of it. Like that's what I've always heard in negotiating raises, negotiating salaries, that sort of thing. You just leave it out of it. It's about what you can bring to the table and what skillset you have and what leadership qualities you have. And everything you can bring to the job. But if you go in there sort of whining about like, well, my rent's really high or well, I got a mortgage payment to pay or whatever. If I was in it, but I bet men have come in and I say men because usually they're better negotiators. And I think
that if they come, if a guy comes in and says he's got a family to support as opposed to single guy, I bet he uses that in his negotiation. Well, I know of a situation actually where a man approached another man, his male boss and said, hey, I want to show you something because I need a reason. The guy says, okay, well, tell me, tell me why expecting him to say, well, I'm a 40 hour a week employee, but I regularly work 55 hours a week and I do this and I do this instead he pulled out a spreadsheet of his monthly expenses to show like rent, you know, $650 a month, groceries, childcare, going out, blah, blah. And then he goes, seeing at the end of the month, according to this, I only have an extra $40. And the guy's like, well, move to a cheaper place. You know, like the boss is like, I didn't care about that. Melody, welcome to the virtue. Hey, I just want to say that basically the woman you got talked about is pretty much someone in the same situation that I'm in right now. Okay. My husband left me, I've been working for six months, just entered the workforce after being out of work for
five years, take care of my two kids. And this woman basically has no other option because you guys fire her right now. I mean, I had to take bottom of the barrel, barely making anything just like you get back into the workforce because I have this huge gap in my resume history. I understand keeping the personal out of it that you've got to understand the situation and the economy too. I mean, I, with paying child care, I am barely making ends meet. I pay $12,000 a year in child care expenses. And that's like the cheapest child care that I could find. So I mean, you're basically putting somebody back in a situation where they're just not going to get anywhere and I understand, you know, making it just a business in that personal, but this is really going to affect this woman intake her just totally under the water. I think that's why she's calling us. I mean, I think that, you know, a business, you know, a business is not obligated to the employee. The employee is there to serve the business. So, you know, but it is hard when you're, you identify what you do for a living. That's how you identify yourself as based on your job in this country. So it is hard, I think, to keep all that, you know, separate. But if she was
a better employee, like even because I'm sure this manager, and correct me if I'm wrong, what's our manager's name? Molly. Molly. So yeah. So even if this employee, the single mom, let's say she's having a rough year, we all have rough times, and we're not as good employees as we could be. But she's still, I mean, she, you just said she subpar regardless of her going through all this, right? But here's the thing about, or not, Molly, I'm sorry, melody, you have to reverse it. Let's say that you're not the single mom. Let's say that you are, because one of them is going to get fired with no warning. So now you're not the single mom. Now you're a 23-year-old in your first job. You're putting money in the bank. You're living with mom. Everything's going good. Things are, you work two jobs. You clearly bust your ass at, at least this one. Plus you still have a second job, you know, doing the modeling stuff. So you're working your tail off, and then the boss comes and goes, yeah, we got to let you go. Yeah, but you have a fallback. You know, you don't have really much more overhead than that. You don't have to pay rent. You don't have to worry about anything else. And I also see what you guys are saying. And I know that the overall consensus is,
you know, you need to take the business and the personal and separate them. But I mean, at the end of the day, this would really significantly negatively affect this woman, you know, just livelihood right now, and being able to keep up with taking care of her children and everything else. I mean, just child care expenses alone will take you under. And if I do that, you know, everything else is, it's just a hard economy to go out and be. Let me ask you a question. How many kids do you have? I have two. Okay, you have two. So if you were at work today and the boss came to you and said, said to you, and one other person, I got to let one of you go. And you're a single mom with two kids and the other person's a single mom with three kids. Do you say to her, okay, it'll be me. I'll go because I'm not one. One was kid. I'd like to hope that I wouldn't be involved in that decision. In terms of saying, okay, well, you two look at each other. Well, there's a lot of people, there's a lot of people who work at home depot. We didn't want to be in that decision. And may season, all these companies that are laying off. So if it was, I wasn't involved in the decision of
making another employee, you know, lose their job. I mean, I understand when you're in a managerial position, that's just, you know, Molly, Molly is being an under underling. I would hope that wouldn't be my position. Well, the thing is, Molly doesn't have the luxury of telling the single mom, you've got to step it up or you're going to be fired. She has to let somebody, two people on her staff go. Well, and if she's being a good manager, she even said to us that the younger single woman is a great future for their company. So she may be held responsible, say she keeps the single mom. Let the younger one go because, you know, it tugs on her heartstrings. Okay. Well, if the single mom doesn't perform and the company doesn't do as well, that's her responsibility. You know what I'm saying? So people above her are going to come down on her and say, why'd you let go the talented, the more talented or more productive employee? Hey, Angela, welcome to the show. Hi, this is exactly what's wrong with the way people are treated at work environments now, is if you have a kid, you get special treatment no matter what. So basically single people or people
without kids are treated differently and not given as many benefits because, you know, the people of the kids are the ones that get off early for the holidays, get extra days at the holidays, they're excused because the kids sick more. This is exactly the example. It's about a work. When you come to work, your personal life is separate. It's a job. You should not be treated differently because you have kids. So this girl should be treated differently because she chose not to have children yet. It doesn't make any sense. You know, I appreciate leaving personal. I just think that's not realistic. Like I'm not saying this really doesn't have anything to do with Molly's decision because I would actually, I would actually look at the job higher date and even if it's five days different, I would keep on that was there the shortest amount of time. That way, it's playing because if you want to do business, then that is. You know what? The newest end is the first to leave. But I do think that when you spend 10, 12 hours at work every day, it is impossible as a human being to spend years at a job 12 hours a day and think you can be
mechanical sitting in here and it not be emotional. So we're not machines and we're not coming. I mean, I do think that there has to be, I don't know, I think there has to be emerging of both very staunch business, mechanical. But then you can't, your employees just can't be a number. They need to be a person, you know? Hey, Molly, we're going to follow up with you this week and find out what decision you made and how it went. Okay. Good luck. I don't envy that. I have to say I, you know, I heard the first person and I was like, okay, okay, now I know what I have to do. I go to second person, I go, oh my god. Everyone's very, very compelling argument. It's really a tough decision. I'm sorry. Sorry, Lance, in your lap. Yeah, if I'm in your situation, I decide to do it like I'm Friday, then call in sick and make my boss do it. I think that's the only right decision at this point. Good luck to you, Molly. We'll follow up shortly, okay? Okay. Hey, the bird show.

I'm doing great. Doing great. Yeah, we got some great stuff. January was an exciting month. Sean came out and did an investigation with us at the White House, which Jen had been to. Earlier in the month, we did an investigation. Like we talked about last month, we were letting some investigators, some guests come with us on the investigations and had no idea that this would happen to one of our guests. But she was in the room. There's one particular room in this house. Where is the White House? It's down in Macdonough. It's one of the very first investigations we ever did and man, we hit the mother load on this house. It is just absolutely action packed. There's always something going on in this house. But what happened
this time was really, really odd. Young lady was sitting in the room by herself. She was very brave. She was in there for about 30 minutes. And that was that's that attic room, right? That attic room, exactly. Where everything happens. Is that okay? She was in the room totally by herself. Brave is all get out. I was actually downstairs with another with another couple and my brother was there with me. He's back from Iraq right now. And out of the blue, I just heard, Andy, you got to get up here. You got to get up here. So I go to the top of the stairs and the first words out of his mouth is she's covered in blood. I'm picturing carry, you know, the dress, the hair, everything just covered in blood. I'm not really sure what to expect. When I walked into the room, both of this woman's hands were completely doused in blood. I mean, just dripping with blood going down her hands. It was all over my EMF detector. The recorders all over the floor on things she didn't even touch. And I'm not going to say it was paranormal. She did have a small little paper cut and maybe not even a quarter of an inch long. I've had a paper cut and they don't even bleed. Like they bleed underneath the surface. And that's
about it. And they hurt like the dickens. You know, when you've got a paper cut, she'd been in here profusely bleeding for 30 minutes and had no idea that she was bleeding. No idea. So it's just really, really that started off the month. Just really, really crazy. Like I said, I'm not going to say it's paranormal, but the amount of blood that came from this paper cut was insane. I mean, it's just absolutely insane. So that started off. Then we did Savannah. I want to play just a couple. We did one investigation in Savannah, which was a great one. You'll tell me when I have to get out Michelle. Absolutely. Yeah. Absolutely. Actually, another business. We've gotten a lot of businesses over over the past. I mean, I'm sure it's good for their business as well. But we've gotten a lot of really good stories out of some businesses. And this one was an art, an art studio down off of Hallamill Road. If you want to go and bring Michelle on, that's fine. I'll let her tell you exactly what's been happening there. Hey, good morning, Michelle. Good morning. How are you? Good. Thank you for joining us. Thank you. The good news is Andy has completed his investigation. The bad news is you and the radio with us means he found good stuff.
So tell us about it here. Tell us about your business and most importantly, why you decided to bring Andy on board. We are a special event facility in Art Gallery. As Andy said, off of Hallamill Road, it's a very neat facility. The original structure was built in the 1800s and we found the history center where it was used as a hospital for a short period of time during battle of Peachtree Creek. Okay. And goth Merch was built on after that and then an art studio. And personally, I have never really felt anything, but apparently I'm oblivious because everybody else that comes in and out of the facility sees things, hears things, etc. For me, it's just it always feels like when you're alone that somebody is right with you. They are. So Michelle, you weren't there with Andy when he did his investigation? I was there with Andy when he did his investigation. And did you hear or see anything when you guys were together?
I did not actually join him in the room. I was in the building. I just tried to stay out of his way. Okay. Well, Andy, let's put our mind to the ease. I'm sure. Let's do it. Absolutely. Well, this particular one and we always when we go into a location, we always get our recorders going right away because you never know when you're going to get one. It doesn't have to be while you're actually investigating. Most of the time, we actually catch something while we're just setting the equipment up. So this is one we just had the recorder just sitting on the countertop there in the four-year area. And it is just a strange EVP. And it makes me wonder about what this one says. If maybe our recorders do send some sort of beacon to the spirits or whatever these things are that they know that we have a recording device on of some sort. If you want to go ahead and play that first one, Sean. It first to say to me, my ears are ringing or my ears are burning if you want to play one more time. Yeah. My ears are burning or my ears are ringing something like that. And it makes me wonder if
the recording device really does. If they know that this thing is on. If it sends some sort of signal to them that we've got a recording device on. So that one is kind of creepy. If you don't know it, our telephone number is 404741Q100. What always happens when we play these is people in their car hear them differently because the way our signal is processed. You can hear it better than we can. Yes. So if you hear something different, please feel free to call us out and say, you know what? I think it says this. And Andy, if this is the first time somebody is hearing about the Atlanta Ghost Hunters, can you explain what an EVP is? Basically, all these voices that we catch are at least 99.9% of them. We don't hear these at the time. We're walking around with sensitive recording devices that pick up any noise at all. But that's what I don't understand is normally they pick up audible noises, things that you can hear. But sound is nothing more than vibrations and frequencies. And we go back and we listen to the hours, hour after hour after hour of all of the time that
we're there during investigation, specifically listening for things that did not occur while we are there. So EVP is known as electronic voice phenomenon. And it is really, to me, the most telling portion of paranormal activity because I have no logical explanation how these things are embedding themselves onto the recorder. So I can explain away most pictures, most video. There's a lot of, if there's a logical reason why, that's the reason why is because of the logic. But there's no reason why, if nobody said, my ears are ringing or burning, that I should be catching that that clearly on, on an audio device. So, ready for the next one? Absolutely. All right. This one was actually caught in the creepy closet, as Michelle called it. This one, there's a closet where they've got all their heating and air systems. Pitch black, can't see your hand in front of your face. It's the adult equivalent of the boiler room in these schools. Absolutely. That's where Freddy Krueger hides and all that stuff. So yeah, it's definitely creepy closet and there's something going on in there.
Just real quick, I don't understand what it means, but it's where's the handle? Oh yeah, that was the handle. And that was not one of us. We, there had been at least three or four minutes worth of really dead silence in, in this room, when we, when we caught this and it just says, where's the handle? It could be candle too, right? Where's the candle? Could be. Could be. Maybe you said it's really dark in there? Very, very dark. And this was part of the original structure of the house that dates back into the, sometime in the 1800s, the only known date that they have is they have a battle, a war map, of a pastry battle. And they have this house notated as the old stone home on the crooked road. And for those, I don't think we need to tell the name. It's called the Defore Center. It's right off of Defore Avenue, off of Howell Mill Road. And right now, it looks like a new, new construction, but the walls themselves are actually 27 inches thick, a pure stone wall.
Wow. And when they were doing rehab, they actually found muskets, you know, civil war bullets still lodged in the stone itself. So definitely a lot of activity going on here. Plus, there was a murder that took place right around there that the murderer was never found of the Defores. The people that the road was named after. And they've seen spirits of what everybody's called as Susan Defore. So, interesting place. We've got one more. You still there, Michelle? I'm still here. What are you thinking so far? I'll be sitting in your car now, rather than at the Defore Center. Yeah, what time do you have to go into work today? Well, that's debatable. We'll see what it's like. Well, listen, what time is sunrise? All right. Now, this is the last one that we caught. And this one, we actually left a recorder in the four-year area of the original structure. And we just left a recorder there. It had been about an hour. Nothing had gone on. And just out of the blue, we just caught a very weird EVP that it sounds like to me says I'll deal with it. But I think this is going to definitely be one
that the listeners over the radio will be able to hear a little bit better than we can. Again, very electronic. It's I'll deal with it. How far into it? This is about 40. Oh, I'm sorry, into this clip. Yeah. Right after maybe two seconds. Okay, go ahead again, Sean. Yeah, that one's very strange. It's pretty faint. And hopefully over the over the radio, you guys will be able to hear a little bit better. But to me, it sounded like I'll deal with it. Hey, Sean, play that first clip again because we have a couple people calling. They're my ears are. Yeah. That's creepy, though. It is. If he was if he was saying he hears something because you guys were there. Yeah. Again, the movie, the others, you know, they they're like, is there a ghost in this house? What's what's going on? Hey, what's great, movie? Hey, Kevin. Yeah, what's going on? Hey, how are you? I'm good. Only first clip where my ears are ringing.
Yeah. If it was a hospital from the Civil War, it could be a lot of soldiers had hearing damage from the canons and stuff like that. Sure. That's a good point. How long was it a hospital for? Do you know, Andy? I don't know. I think it was Michelle. Do you know, a couple of weeks, months? I'm sorry. I didn't hear the question. How long was it a hospital for? From what I understand just a brief period of time, a few days, perhaps a couple of weeks. So, who is the most which employee of yours is the most freaked out of all this? That would probably be Morgan. Yeah. She hears a lot of other things. She hears banging. She sees things. And what does she do for you guys? Event sales, both weddings and things in that nature. So, you might be in the market for a new event sales person. Yeah, we have brunch every Sunday too. We have a brunch buffet and I'm wondering if it's going to be me and the ghosts. They don't know what minimum wages know.
Some people will totally book your space, though, just because it is. It sounds cool. It's a bad thing. Yeah, you can see if you have an extra person in your wedding pictures when you get them developed. That's right. It's so contact me, please. What's that Michelle? Thank you so much for coming out with this. Thank you so much for having me. I'll have a great day. Thank you too. Have fun working today. This is a second month in a row. You've got a business, right? It is. Yeah. And we actually got an email yesterday, a killer email that we're definitely going to go check out from a from a homeowner here. They actually caught some audio and video on their own. So we're going to go in and see if we can try and reproduce it or possibly bust them saying that it's fake. I don't know. We're going to see what's happening. We're skeptics. I mean, we're definitely skeptics. We try and disprove activity. We have had people contact us and send us video of this is what we caught in our house. I'm like, I have whatever. But this actually looks pretty pretty reasonable. Well, thanks guys. No problem. Thank you. We'll talk again in a few weeks. Thanks, Atlanta. Huh? Virtua.
Hey, is it Andrea? Andrea? Andrea? Andrea? Andrea? Andrea? Andrea. Andrea? Hello? Andrea? Andrea? Andrea? I am no Andrea. I am Andrea. It's a fake name, so it doesn't matter anyways. How are you? I'm great. How are you? Good. Can you speak up nice and loud for us? Sure. Can you hear me? Okay. We can. Tracy is is this voice disguised? I don't think it needs to be voice disguised. Does it? No, it's not. Okay. Okay. Hi. So Tracy is very excited because you have given her an idea for the show and it has good. It sounds good. It's called Operation Eviction. Yeah. That's about right. Okay. Please tell us all about it. Yeah. Okay. I have been moving with this roommate for the past six months and it's been like a train wreck since we moved in together. It's just been horrible. We don't get along. She's of the apartment way too much and my boyfriend's leaf is up on Saturday and he's not sure if he
wants to renew it. And so I obviously would love for him to then with me. We're like at that level, but I have to get rid of this girl first and she's a kind of person who like if I just asked her to, she would totally stay because it's just to make me run. So I have to figure out a way by Saturday to get her to want to leave my apartment. Okay. So you are looking for a way to have her leave that's that is 100% her doing. Yes. Ideally, it would be like I was almost doing her a favor. Like listen, I know this, you know, you really want to find somewhere else. I totally understand. You know, I'll work something out with my boyfriend. And that, but I thought I don't know what to do. I was thinking about like like getting a rat and putting in her room and making her think we're invested or like I don't know getting spider. And I was thinking about having you guys like say your ghost hunters down and make your thinking part with haunted.
Yeah. Actually, you might like that though. Ghost fraud. That might work against you. So I don't even know where to begin on this. Like ant infestation. But if you do any of that, then you're going to have to deal with it. Like I don't want to get in trouble. Like I don't want, you know, I don't want the landlord to know, you know, if I put a rat there, can I get in trouble? I mean, is there like a cause and a lease? I don't know. Well, they have a pets issue because you can just say your pet rat. Yeah. Do you have pets? No. Hmm. Is she like animals? I don't think so. Then get one. That's true. No, I don't know. Like I'm trying to think of what would make me say, it's such the last minute I'm out of here. Could you borrow someone's big slobbery dog for like a week? I'd probably say yes. And say you were adopting them. Hmm. That might take longer than a week for her to get sick of that though. Why don't you just start borrowing her stuff without telling her? But I mean, three days is. Yeah. Three days is what's going to make it tough.
Hey, Matt, welcome to the show. Hey, I was just calling to let her know that she should probably give me her later let her boyfriend move in anyway. And her roommate will be so disgusted that she'll just like have to leave. Or, you know, just like you make an out in the middle of the kitchen, then she'll just want to leave. Just to her show up one day and then y'all are back and down on the couch. And then so, and said, oh, by the way, he just moved in his stuff, you know, don't, you know, let us know if anything gets near way or something. Yeah, because if it happened to her, I'm sure she'd do the same thing. I want to get out. That's true. It's good idea. It was with your boyfriend, Andrea, would your boyfriend have any problem being extra like guy disgusting? No, I think he would, I think you would excel at being guy disgusting. I mean, like if you have him come over today for lunch in all the crap dishes are all over the sink. If he's half eaten sandwich sitting somewhere, if he's hanging out in his underwear, like the three days, I don't that I quite honestly, I don't think you're going to do it in three days. I don't think that's really
fair to your roommate either to give her three days to find a new place to live. Yeah, it's too short. Yeah. Any call. Hey, this happened to me, but I was the victim of over text roommates who were just all in my space constantly and I ended up moving out because I couldn't get rid of them. But at any common areas they have, they need to have sex all over the kitchen, all over the living room, the bathroom, whatever he needs to eat all the food, bark, fart, leave his underwear all over the place, be as a noxious and irresponsible and disrespectful possible. And you can't underestimate man gas. So if he can conjure up a few things go to the bathroom and they're having sex on the toilet, I really fight. Yeah. Gross. That makes me want to be bad at this day. He also should go shave on her sink and leave like the little man hairs everywhere. That's nasty. We've got broken a little hairs, burp, fart, sex, and hair. Hey, hey, Stacy. I totally have an idea. Is your roommate straight? Yeah, he is, yes. I come on to her. Tell her
that why you haven't been able to get along is because you're feeling full cut and that will totally make her out. I think I'm falling in love with you. What? The problem is Andrea, how old are you guys? 27. Okay, so she's probably passed that collegiate bicarious stage. 27. Yeah, you're back in your corners. Right. So should I hit on her, and I sleep with my boyfriend. Maybe I'll ask her to sleep with me and my boyfriend. Oh, yeah. That's another another angle. Hey, Sarah. Hey, what's going on? I was thinking that she could get those apartment guard books and leave them around the apartment in different places and then when the roommate asked a question about why they were there, then she can say, oh, I'm going to move out. So then the roommate will leave and she can have the apartment to herself. I have to tell you, I am a little excited and proud of our listeners who have overwhelmed. I haven't even given out the phone number yet. And the phone lines are lit up. Oh, yeah, get that beyond
out of there. Here's what you got to do. One, two, three, hair, sex, farts, do it all. And now here's a guy with an opinion. Hey, Brian. This is easy. Okay. All she has to do is put plastic over the whole living room like seven candles and put them in a circle. Be fit and inside the circle with a bloody animal. Oh, red rum on all the, all the wrong. What? Perfect. That's a little dramatic. Yeah, let me find a dead animal. That's disgusting. But that is funny, but just to be able to sit in the floor with the circle of candles, me in the middle of them doing something like what are you doing? Hey, Brian. Brian, it's a good order to always get rid of roommates. Cool. Hey, Brian. Hold on a second. Sean wants to take you to dinner. I think this is fun. Hey, Andy. Hey, how you doing? What's your idea? Yeah. Hey, I'm 47. How about her sex craze? Uncle moved in for a while.
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, baby, just a little bit of warmth. You kind of want to play the uncle? Yeah. You decided to be the uncle. Hey, why did it get all weird right after I complimented our listeners? Well, this is great. Everybody stepping up. And then dude's like, let me add her hair. I'll bring a dead animal. I'll bring a dead animal over. Say, Andrea, I don't, I think you've got some good input, valuable input. What I don't think is you're going to make it happen by this weekend. Mom, I'm fairly going to try. I think what why is there a deadline of Saturday? My boy, that's my boyfriend's least is that then I don't, I want him to know that he can move in before he renews it. Well, well, he moved in if she's in there or is that like a condition of like he doesn't want to be around her? Well, if you maybe he'll just do that, but the problem is we don't, we want her out of that picture completely if you're horrible. Why don't you just move with and with him? His least self. It's a really great apartment. Hey, Stacy. Yes.
What's your comment? I wanted to tell her that she should put baby powder on her friend's fan. So when she turns the fan on, like, poops. And then put Vaseline on the toilet seat. So when she goes to sit down, she falls. Like all of a sudden, she becomes a practical joke here. And then short sheet or bed. And then when she does fix that and fall asleep, dip her hand in warm water. And then just Vaseline on the toilet, but the serene ramp over the toilet. Sell it to him. It's a piece of stuff. Fees are bra. Hey, Andy, this actually could be the best idea yet. Hi, Andrea. Go ahead. Has your roommate met your actual landlord? No. Okay, here's what you do. You get some like, I can't believe he's not my landlord to come up and say that you guys need to be out by Friday for, you know, make up some, throw out some big words or something unless your roommate
understands big words. Say that you guys have to be out. And then you actually don't move out, but have your roommate move out and then have your boyfriend move in. And if I Saturday, good to go. Done. Got the plan, Randy. This is awesome. I like it. It's our emotions. We're like pointing and letting you know. And why do I feel like this is the plot of some Paul Red, Sean Williams cut movie? And I love the fact that it's, you have to throw out big words. Like, you know, hey, you know, we're in a situation with the kerfuffle. So you're going to have to go ahead and relocate yourself somewhere else. All right. This would be the last one seriously. Hey, Sarah. Hello. What's up? Hey. Okay. If she wants to care out in the next 24 hours, she gets a boyfriend over to the apartment, acting as big as a dog. Medicine's everywhere. And tall the roommate, he's got highly contagious mono. And she's going to be taking care of him because everyone knows mono can last up to three months. That's good. That's a good one. That is solid. And Taylor, I mean, she'll be out of there. I mean, who wants mono if they're, you know, in school, whatever, you don't want it. It makes you
sick for months. I actually want to leave in large years, all that good stuff. When I was a kid, my friend Jason got mono and he was at a school for 30 days. And I wanted mono for that reason because I thought it was fun. I imagine him and his house having a great time. I had mono in high school. The problem is when you're out that long, they send tutors over to the house to teach. Hey, Andrea, we're going to check in with you in a, well, after the weekend, and we'll find out if you're managed, if Operation Eviction or is Tracy renamed it, how to lose a roommate in four days. His work, okay? Okay, thank you for it. All right, good luck here. Get it, the virtue.
