        I’m a stay at home furniture driver, my partner is an investigative glitter wrangler, and our budget is $6.6 million.

        I need to contemplate career paths if furniture drivers can work from home.

      • Depending on what “paranormal ghost pepper streamer” entails, that could be really fucking entertaining. I’m imagining a guy who grows ghost peppers with a crazy mix of ghost hunting equipment, tin foil, healing crystals, long strands of Christmas lights (to ask aliens for assistance in watering, fertilizing and controlling pests), and a priest (for when a plant becomes demonically possessed).

        You should totally get your license bruh. It’s not that hard and there are some public venues you can’t even play at without one.

          I’m just getting in to Air guitar keeping, but I’ve always been confused about the difference between a Sport Air Guitar License and a Private Air Guitar License. Should I go for the SAGL/PAGL Instrumentation endorsement as well?

    I must not be in the know with the lingo… because I can’t quite parse that.

    Husband: is a sandwich artist

    Wife: is an $8000 rebate for a heat pump? Is this the new form of mail order bride: get $8000 in coupons or a wife worth $8000?

    I was totally thinking about how these shows must be faked in some way. I just figured they payed people to go looking, despite the fact they actually have a nice enough home(s) and don’t actually need to move.

      They are faked, at least partially.

      I was friends with a guy who was on an episode of a one season HGTV show called “Container Homes.” He and his wife at the time actually wanted to buy or build a container home.

      They had talked to a developer and were going to have one built. Got on the show somehow. After the show started filming, some off-screen drama happened with the developer, and an HOA or zoning board or something, and long story short they were denied the permits to build one. But the show wanted to keep going, so they used the construction of developer’s office, which was also a container building, for footage, and when it was completed did a super quick, rather pathetic job of making it look like it was decorated as a house. Then filmed the “reveal,” which at that point was just kind of rubbing salt in the wound. He looked so dead inside, it’s hilarious.

      A lot of the house hunter-type shows are allegedly shot with couples who are already closing on a house, and then HGTV just takes them out and films them just looking at other houses literally for show.

        Nah, they just wouldn’t choose someone who wasn’t excited to be there. Pretty sure they interview everyone before hand and watch them before filming before deciding who to pick. It’s definitely not just random.

    The house hunter shows are always about people who just bought a house, They want a shot of a barely moved into place and then they work with relators to show the other 2 properties that are just on the market. All the rest is just a story to sell the show we don’t know anything of the actual buying process of the ‘real house’. My fun game now if I get stuck with my elders watching this is to guess which house is the ‘real house’ and which are the weird ones the relator is showing for impact.
