He'll be eight months 00:02:04.340 --> 00:02:07.659 old this week. And he is just a big ball of terror. 00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:11.840 What kind of pup? He is, we actually had the 00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:15.180 DNA test on because his mom looks like a hundred 00:02:15.180 --> 00:02:18.240 percent corgi. And he came out looking like a 00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:22.680 pit bull. With, like, an Australian shepherd. 00:02:23.709 --> 00:02:26.930 coloring so it turns out he's pitbull american 00:02:26.930 --> 00:02:30.650 bully german shepherd corgi and australian shepherd 00:02:30.650 --> 00:02:32.530 so he's a handful of things and i can see every 00:02:32.530 --> 00:02:34.909 little personality with every breed in him it's 00:02:34.909 --> 00:02:37.250 just it's chaotic all the time you imagine if 00:02:37.250 --> 00:02:39.729 like the body gets as big as like some of those 00:02:39.729 --> 00:02:42.169 bigger ones like a german shepherd but then it 00:02:42.169 --> 00:02:45.330 has like the little corgi legs some of not gonna 00:02:45.330 --> 00:02:48.509 lie he's one of 11 his litter was 11 and some 00:02:48.509 --> 00:02:52.550 of them are very tiny with little little stubby 00:02:52.550 --> 00:02:56.270 corgi legs. He definitely has his mom's corgi 00:02:56.270 --> 00:02:59.090 ears. He's got huge ears. But yeah, they all 00:02:59.090 --> 00:03:01.129 look completely different. He towers over his 00:03:01.129 --> 00:03:04.870 mom now. He's a big boy at 50 pounds. Oh, nice. 00:03:04.949 --> 00:03:07.509 So you get to see, like, do you know who has 00:03:07.509 --> 00:03:09.969 his parents? Oh, yeah. We just had a play date 00:03:09.969 --> 00:03:11.830 recently. So we had a play date with his brother, 00:03:11.930 --> 00:03:13.930 his sister, and his mom.

So it's just crazy to see them all 00:03:19.009 --> 00:03:21.389 together because they all look drastically different. 00:03:21.409 --> 00:03:23.250 You would never know that they're from the same 00:03:23.250 --> 00:03:26.030 litter. I've always wanted to do that same thing. 00:03:26.330 --> 00:03:28.550 So Rip, wait, you named him after Yellowstone, 00:03:28.590 --> 00:03:32.530 right? I sure did. Oh, Rip, he's a gem.

It's a good time. 00:10:22.899 --> 00:10:24.460 I get to meet a bunch of different people. I 00:10:24.460 --> 00:10:26.460 get to see people cry and fangirl over their 00:10:26.460 --> 00:10:30.620 favorite celebrities. It's fun to watch. It's 00:10:30.620 --> 00:10:33.100 heartwarming. I know we've talked about it once, 00:10:33.179 --> 00:10:34.960 but who's your fave that you've worked with? 00:10:35.220 --> 00:10:41.279 Did you ever fangirl over somebody? Yes. I fangirled 00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:45.720 recently. I did a show a few weeks ago. Early 00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:50.759 2000s me. I would have been 18, 19 years old 00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:54.200 at the time. I was obsessed with NSYNC. So Joey 00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:57.320 Fatone was my favorite NSYNC -er. Everyone loved 00:10:57.320 --> 00:10:59.519 Justin. I loved Joey. He was at the convention. 00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:01.539 So I'm like, I'm not leaving until I go meet 00:11:01.539 --> 00:11:04.340 Joey. And I did. I got a picture with him and 00:11:04.340 --> 00:11:07.340 I fangirled. It's my first time ever. But I mean, 00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:09.200 no, it's not my first time ever. There's a few 00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:12.419 others. JC Chavez, relax. There you go. I'm sorry. 00:11:12.700 --> 00:11:16.340 JC was the man. So underrated. I agree. Justin 00:11:16.340 --> 00:11:18.779 took the limelight away from JC. They started 00:11:18.779 --> 00:11:20.950 off, JC was kind of the... But, yeah, I definitely 00:11:20.950 --> 00:11:24.470 fangirled a little bit over Joey. I was excited 00:11:24.470 --> 00:11:28.330 to meet him. But, yeah, at that convention I 00:11:28.330 --> 00:11:31.750 was working with a Star Trek person that I really 00:11:31.750 --> 00:11:34.110 didn't know that well. But it was a good time. 00:11:34.370 --> 00:11:36.169 So these things have, like, thousands of people, 00:11:36.269 --> 00:11:39.529 right? They're huge. I've only seen pictures, 00:11:39.690 --> 00:11:43.070 well, kind of, on, like, IG or something. Oh 00:11:43.070 --> 00:11:45.389 yeah, no, there's people that go all out. They 00:11:45.389 --> 00:11:48.669 wait all year building cosplay suits and it's 00:11:48.669 --> 00:11:51.389 just, it's insane to see what people put into 00:11:51.389 --> 00:11:53.690 it. But it's cool because you see all different 00:11:53.690 --> 00:11:56.169 types of people. Like I was working with somebody 00:11:56.169 --> 00:11:59.870 in Philly a few months ago and she flew up from 00:11:59.870 --> 00:12:02.169 Puerto Rico just to work this venue because there 00:12:02.169 --> 00:12:03.750 was somebody from Stranger Things there that 00:12:03.750 --> 00:12:08.309 she wanted to meet. Who was there? The guy that 00:12:08.309 --> 00:12:11.200 played the guitar, Eddie. He played the guitar. 00:12:11.259 --> 00:12:14.620 Oh, yeah? Sweet. So he was there and she was 00:12:14.620 --> 00:12:18.659 so excited. So she flew up from Puerto Rico and 00:12:18.659 --> 00:12:21.080 she worked at conventions. She was the same position 00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:24.779 as me. But she's a real estate lawyer by day. 00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:27.980 So, I mean, that just gives you an idea of the 00:12:27.980 --> 00:12:30.419 different types of people. There's just so many 00:12:30.419 --> 00:12:31.720 different types of people that you would never 00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:35.539 think of. I mean, doctors and lawyers. down to 00:12:35.539 --> 00:12:37.519 just kids you know there's all different walks 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:39.240 of life to go into these conventions and they 00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:41.399 kind of click over people you would never think 00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:44.000 you'd be friends with you click over just your 00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:46.519 your love for the same fandom it's just it's 00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:48.639 fun to watch it's different it's different but 00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:50.299 it's cool though like it gives you something 00:12:50.299 --> 00:12:53.399 gives you an outlet outside of like the day -to 00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:55.779 -day of work or family or whatever it may be 00:12:55.779 --> 00:12:58.159 so that's that's cool probably helps keep some 00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:02.259 sanity too you know definitely It's my little 00:13:02.259 --> 00:13:03.960 getaway. Like I said, I do it a couple of times 00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:07.200 a year and it's, it's just me and my friends 00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:09.299 or me and my husband and my friends and we just 00:13:09.299 --> 00:13:12.279 get together and it's a fun weekend. Oh gosh. 00:13:12.379 --> 00:13:15.120 So you're escaping during your adult weekends 00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:18.860 from this, this wild industry that we work in. 00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:22.220 And so you have been what, since 2001, you've 00:13:22.220 --> 00:13:24.620 kind of been in this mortgage appraisal world, 00:13:24.620 --> 00:13:27.240 but you weren't on the appraisal side to start 00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:31.029 off. No, I spent many years on the processing 00:13:31.029 --> 00:13:35.649 side. I started my first job out of high school. 00:13:36.090 --> 00:13:39.149 And it was just a temp position. Me and a friend 00:13:39.149 --> 00:13:41.370 of mine, we went to a temp agency looking for 00:13:41.370 --> 00:13:44.049 a summer job. And they're like, oh, we have something. 00:13:44.110 --> 00:13:46.309 Can you type? I'm like, yeah, I could type. So 00:13:46.309 --> 00:13:52.570 I got this job as a loan opener at a bank. met 00:13:52.570 --> 00:13:55.269 so many people there and i enjoyed working with 00:13:55.269 --> 00:13:57.309 everybody i had fun doing what i was doing and 00:13:57.309 --> 00:13:59.350 i was there for a few years turned into a permanent 00:13:59.350 --> 00:14:01.730 position and then i moved from the retail side 00:14:01.730 --> 00:14:06.330 to the wholesale side until uh 2007 2008 when 00:14:06.330 --> 00:14:08.870 everything crashed and the doors shut and then 00:14:08.870 --> 00:14:10.610 they said you know take everything you want you 00:14:10.610 --> 00:14:12.289 want your desk you want the fridge take it all 00:14:12.289 --> 00:14:14.250 with you we're closing the doors did you take 00:14:14.250 --> 00:14:17.220 the fridge I took some chairs. They got rid of 00:14:17.220 --> 00:14:18.899 every little thing you could think of until that 00:14:18.899 --> 00:14:21.259 place was vacant. But yeah, it was just... And 00:14:21.259 --> 00:14:23.379 then from there, I had my daughter. I took a 00:14:23.379 --> 00:14:26.779 year off. My husband was deployed to Iraq. I 00:14:26.779 --> 00:14:28.980 took a year off and had my daughter and then 00:14:28.980 --> 00:14:33.279 worked a few more places. from time to time between 00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:36.820 kids. And then, yeah, then I, it was my last 00:14:36.820 --> 00:14:38.679 job. I was working for a mortgage broker. I wasn't 00:14:38.679 --> 00:14:41.019 happy. I got to know Nationwide because I was 00:14:41.019 --> 00:14:43.799 ordering the appraisals. So I just reached out 00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:45.700 to some of the people I knew at Nationwide. I'm 00:14:45.700 --> 00:14:48.159 like, Hey, I'm not happy here. Are you guys hiring 00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:50.559 for anybody for anything? And they're like, yeah, 00:14:50.580 --> 00:14:52.360 come on over. I started there three days later 00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:57.700 and I've been here since. So it's crazy how many 00:14:57.700 --> 00:15:00.679 people I talked to at Nationwide that were working 00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:04.879 on, Mortgage side, where our clients are, interacted 00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:07.639 with Nationwide and then weren't happy with what 00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:09.700 they were doing and then came over to this side 00:15:09.700 --> 00:15:12.480 because they liked working with Nationwide. It's 00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:14.779 a stressful job, but it's a less stressful job. 00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:18.200 And there's a lot of fun to it. I like fixing 00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:21.600 problems. But you didn't come in as an account 00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:23.559 manager, right? Came in the corrections department. 00:15:23.860 --> 00:15:26.019 So I spent the first five years at Nationwide 00:15:26.019 --> 00:15:30.200 in corrections, which is not much different. 00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:32.840 It's a lot of the same stuff. I still do a lot 00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:35.759 of the same stuff. I just have a lot more client 00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:39.820 interactions now than I did before, which I enjoy 00:15:39.820 --> 00:15:41.399 because some of the clients I work with today 00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:44.200 I've worked with since day one and I have great 00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:46.679 relationships with them. So it's nice, you know, 00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:49.830 they. they start bringing on other branches throughout 00:15:49.830 --> 00:15:52.370 the country and they know me because, you know, 00:15:52.409 --> 00:15:54.610 I've been working with them for 11 years now. 00:15:54.850 --> 00:15:56.950 So like, okay, we're not using anybody else. 00:15:56.970 --> 00:15:59.289 We have to use Janessa because that's what we 00:15:59.289 --> 00:16:01.950 know. So it's cool when you get to communicate 00:16:01.950 --> 00:16:04.870 and build those relationships with your clients 00:16:04.870 --> 00:16:07.049 that you've known for so long. Yeah, that is 00:16:07.049 --> 00:16:08.549 great. I don't, I don't imagine. I mean, I never 00:16:08.549 --> 00:16:10.750 was on the origination side, but I would imagine 00:16:10.750 --> 00:16:13.230 if you knew that, you know, someone like yourself 00:16:13.230 --> 00:16:16.230 has been at AMC for. that long, you've had that 00:16:16.230 --> 00:16:18.490 long of a relationship, it just makes sense to 00:16:18.490 --> 00:16:21.070 continue to grow with them and continue to send 00:16:21.070 --> 00:16:23.889 all of your people there. I don't know very many 00:16:23.889 --> 00:16:26.009 inside account managers for other companies that 00:16:26.009 --> 00:16:28.710 have been at their current AMC for that long. 00:16:28.889 --> 00:16:31.110 You know what I mean? Yeah, it is rare, right? 00:16:31.590 --> 00:16:34.809 We're also in an industry where everyone is constantly 00:16:34.809 --> 00:16:39.250 moving from one place to another. But that also 00:16:39.250 --> 00:16:41.129 helps us in the long run as well because you 00:16:41.129 --> 00:16:43.570 have a lot of clients that move around. Yeah, 00:16:43.649 --> 00:16:46.159 that's true. Oh yeah, me and Mia Schwartz, we'll 00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:49.039 capitalize off that every now and then. That's 00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:50.480 the only way I know how to sell. That's the only 00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:54.700 way I know how to sell. But quick sidebar back 00:16:54.700 --> 00:16:57.580 to where you started. I started off in QC too. 00:16:57.700 --> 00:17:00.179 I came into this business almost the exact same 00:17:00.179 --> 00:17:03.159 path. I almost, looking back on it, I would think 00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:05.539 that is the best way if you're going to work 00:17:05.539 --> 00:17:08.640 at AMC, almost like you've got to do at least 00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:11.400 a year in QC to start off because knowing the 00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:15.519 reports like that. you learn a lot yeah and the 00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:17.359 different requirements and everything that you 00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:20.099 know fha usda conventional jumbo all the different 00:17:20.099 --> 00:17:21.400 things that all the different reports require 00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:23.599 and like the little nuances you can talk the 00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:25.099 talk of walk the walk to anybody on the phone 00:17:25.099 --> 00:17:27.619 then from then on on what's going on in the business 00:17:27.619 --> 00:17:31.930 yeah i mean i when i In the processing world, 00:17:32.089 --> 00:17:34.809 there wasn't much you had to know about an appraisal. 00:17:34.869 --> 00:17:37.490 You know where to find the value. You know the 00:17:37.490 --> 00:17:42.349 basics. So coming into the appraisal side, I 00:17:42.349 --> 00:17:44.170 had my interview and I said, I'll be completely 00:17:44.170 --> 00:17:46.950 honest. I'm here to learn. I want to learn. I 00:17:46.950 --> 00:17:49.890 know the guidelines. I am quick with the computer. 00:17:50.029 --> 00:17:53.369 I'm quick to learn everything I need to learn. 00:17:53.529 --> 00:17:57.500 And within a week, I... had it all down. I knew 00:17:57.500 --> 00:17:59.500 everything from top to bottom on an appraisal 00:17:59.500 --> 00:18:02.200 report when before I knew, you know, where to 00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:04.519 find the value, where to find the market value, 00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:07.799 where, where, where to, you know, looking at 00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:10.559 the pictures that that's the extent of what I 00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:13.440 knew coming into it 11 years ago. And it, you 00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:17.380 know, it is fun to see how much I could learn 00:18:17.380 --> 00:18:20.700 so quickly and how, how much freedom they give 00:18:20.700 --> 00:18:24.180 you to just jump all on in and teach you the 00:18:24.180 --> 00:18:27.390 reins of. the entire appraisal business. I like 00:18:27.390 --> 00:18:30.109 that too. Like, I mean, you worked with the old 00:18:30.109 --> 00:18:33.670 leadership for longer, but then us, but I mean, 00:18:33.670 --> 00:18:36.150 they did allow when we came on, it'd allow you 00:18:36.150 --> 00:18:39.470 to like a lot of freedom and said, Hey, you know, 00:18:39.470 --> 00:18:41.210 here's the basics. All right. You know, you have 00:18:41.210 --> 00:18:43.950 questions asked, but you know, you're, it's up 00:18:43.950 --> 00:18:46.950 to you to really learn and to grow and you want 00:18:46.950 --> 00:18:49.150 to be successful, which I appreciate it. Like 00:18:49.150 --> 00:18:51.609 I don't want micromanagement, you know, we don't 00:18:51.609 --> 00:18:55.470 need it. So, I mean, You've worked with a lot 00:18:55.470 --> 00:18:57.549 of different clients over the years, right? But 00:18:57.549 --> 00:18:59.690 I feel like now, more so than before, you're 00:18:59.690 --> 00:19:02.609 probably more in the specialty kind of realm, 00:19:02.750 --> 00:19:06.609 right? Thanks to you, yes. I don't know if that's 00:19:06.609 --> 00:19:08.789 a good or bad thing. No, it's a good thing. I 00:19:08.789 --> 00:19:11.490 enjoy learning everything new. Was it gradual 00:19:11.490 --> 00:19:13.349 or was it like you just woke up one day and, 00:19:13.390 --> 00:19:15.309 hey, all of a sudden I'm working with commercial 00:19:15.309 --> 00:19:17.960 and private money? I mean, I think it was more 00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:20.420 gradual because, you know, you take one client 00:19:20.420 --> 00:19:22.660 on, they start questioning different job types 00:19:22.660 --> 00:19:25.319 and what they can be open up to. And then they 00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:27.519 start learning what else they can order with 00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:29.980 us. And then that's us learning. You know, I'm 00:19:29.980 --> 00:19:33.059 learning along with them and our commercial team. 00:19:33.180 --> 00:19:36.160 And it's pretty cool because, I mean, doing this 00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:39.400 so long, you need changes. And it's nice to see 00:19:39.400 --> 00:19:42.220 things that are different. And, you know, I have 00:19:42.220 --> 00:19:44.519 the Fannie and the Freddie. Oh, I have all that 00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:46.980 down, knowing it for years. So now getting into 00:19:46.980 --> 00:19:48.720 the commercial side of things, it's really cool 00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:51.079 to see how that all works because I'm still learning 00:19:51.079 --> 00:19:53.799 so much. But even, you know, short term, same 00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:56.980 thing. So it's nice to see how everything works, 00:19:57.019 --> 00:20:00.160 not just the residential. Yeah. You're the short 00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:03.440 term rental queen. Yeah. For Nationwide. I don't 00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:06.109 know if you really like that. We do them. We 00:20:06.109 --> 00:20:09.130 do them. Non -QM, private money, short -term 00:20:09.130 --> 00:20:12.190 rentals. Come see us. All of us. I've definitely 00:20:12.190 --> 00:20:15.309 accepted it. But again, I've gotten so used to 00:20:15.309 --> 00:20:19.089 it that it's just easy day for me looking at 00:20:19.089 --> 00:20:21.329 the short terms these days. I mean, that's good. 00:20:21.450 --> 00:20:23.410 To your point, we have to be able to evolve. 00:20:23.650 --> 00:20:25.970 Me and Schwartz have to evolve and everybody 00:20:25.970 --> 00:20:27.730 else that interacts with the customer on a daily 00:20:27.730 --> 00:20:30.970 basis. And you have to learn, continue to want 00:20:30.970 --> 00:20:34.119 to learn anyways. Some of the new... little nuances 00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:37.240 of different markets. I mean, private money and 00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:41.119 non -QM was never a big mindset of mine, but 00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:43.359 like a year ago, I think it was when we started 00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:46.039 the whole like private money initiative with 00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:48.640 you and Rocky. And it's a year or two ago at 00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:50.019 this point. I don't know. It's all blurred together, 00:20:50.099 --> 00:20:52.700 but. Yeah, it's hard. The last three years are 00:20:52.700 --> 00:20:56.279 hard to keep track. Yeah. Do you miss, I mean, 00:20:56.279 --> 00:20:57.539 now that you're doing a lot more of that stuff, 00:20:57.559 --> 00:20:59.019 you ever miss some of the more cookie cutter 00:20:59.019 --> 00:21:01.900 stuff or do you still enjoy it? no because i 00:21:01.900 --> 00:21:03.640 still have a lot of the cookie cutter stuff i 00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:05.819 have a lot of clients that still do that i i 00:21:05.819 --> 00:21:08.700 mean primarily do a lot of the hard money stuff 00:21:08.700 --> 00:21:11.460 but even still with the hard money there's there's 00:21:11.460 --> 00:21:14.839 the one -offs that are just regular residential 00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:18.079 conventional appraisals and it is nice to see 00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:24.099 an easier one from time to time yeah definitely 00:21:24.099 --> 00:21:28.160 but uh It's also, like I said, it's nice to pop 00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:31.519 into a 71B order and get familiar with that because 00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:34.539 that's not something I was doing when I first 00:21:34.539 --> 00:21:37.019 started off before hard money came around. So 00:21:37.019 --> 00:21:40.059 it's cool to, like you said, evolve and see the 00:21:40.059 --> 00:21:42.460 different products that are out there and available 00:21:42.460 --> 00:21:45.940 to everybody. So I enjoy doing it all. The standard 00:21:45.940 --> 00:21:48.900 residential cookie cutters are just the easy 00:21:48.900 --> 00:21:51.420 ones that pop through from time to time. You 00:21:51.420 --> 00:21:55.289 wait, though. We're creating some new ones. coming 00:21:55.289 --> 00:21:57.869 out next hopefully next year you know more stuff 00:21:57.869 --> 00:22:00.789 to learn on it's gonna be great not complaining 00:22:00.789 --> 00:22:03.549 it's always a good time learning this is this 00:22:03.549 --> 00:22:06.029 is a good one right here for you your manager's 00:22:06.029 --> 00:22:08.789 gonna be listening so what is it that you like 00:22:08.789 --> 00:22:11.609 best about your current role what's going on 00:22:11.609 --> 00:22:13.569 at nationwide property and appraisal services 00:22:13.569 --> 00:22:16.109 and two -part question and what would you like 00:22:16.109 --> 00:22:20.250 to improve for yourself and just the inside account 00:22:20.250 --> 00:22:23.799 managers this is the heavy stuff That's what 00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:26.039 I'm here for. All right. So what do I like best? 00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:29.140 I don't like being put on the spot. I mean, I 00:22:29.140 --> 00:22:31.539 like that I have my own time to get everything 00:22:31.539 --> 00:22:34.000 done. You know, I can sit down, I can focus on 00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:35.799 it. There is no micromanaging. You mentioned 00:22:35.799 --> 00:22:38.220 that earlier. And that's probably the best part 00:22:38.220 --> 00:22:40.940 of it. I can focus on what I need to get done. 00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:44.359 Unlike when we were grilling my daughter on how 00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:47.839 to work her combination lock. Yeah, don't do 00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:51.240 that. What was the second question? What would 00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:53.720 you like to improve? What would I change? Yeah. 00:22:53.859 --> 00:22:56.240 Or what's a suggestion you would throw out there 00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:59.720 to improve your quality of job as an inside account 00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:01.380 manager, but then at the same time improving 00:23:01.380 --> 00:23:04.059 our service of what we can help? I'm sitting 00:23:04.059 --> 00:23:07.559 here looking at my three monitors behind my laptop, 00:23:07.619 --> 00:23:11.140 trying to figure out how can I answer that? And 00:23:11.140 --> 00:23:15.380 I don't know. It's a pretty solid system. Our 00:23:15.380 --> 00:23:18.259 communication is usually pretty great. Our customer 00:23:18.259 --> 00:23:21.299 service is amazing. I really don't have any complaints 00:23:21.299 --> 00:23:24.859 as to what can change. You know what? Now I lie. 00:23:24.960 --> 00:23:26.680 I would like to see everybody in person every 00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:29.019 once in a while. That would be a nice change. 00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:33.259 You know, we get together once a year. Maybe, 00:23:33.299 --> 00:23:37.619 you know, we saw Sherry. She came to visit and 00:23:37.619 --> 00:23:40.240 we had a night out with a bunch of coworkers. 00:23:40.460 --> 00:23:42.079 And that was amazing. I just wish we could do 00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:44.579 that more often. Be nice for like a happy hour. 00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:47.180 I miss the office. I miss it. Or a Christmas 00:23:47.180 --> 00:23:50.799 party. Oh man, the Christmas parties. Man, those 00:23:50.799 --> 00:23:52.819 were a thing of legend back in the day. Yeah, 00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:54.500 they were always a good time. Although I was 00:23:54.500 --> 00:23:56.299 always the one walking around with a camera and 00:23:56.299 --> 00:23:57.980 not paying attention to much because I have a 00:23:57.980 --> 00:24:00.559 camera in my hand. So it would be nice to have 00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:03.200 office parties back again where I can hang out 00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:05.960 and see everybody. That would be cool. Like I 00:24:05.960 --> 00:24:08.220 might actually come up to Philly, the area more 00:24:08.220 --> 00:24:11.640 often if there was a... Once a year for Christmas. 00:24:11.740 --> 00:24:14.369 More than once a year. that's definitely what 00:24:14.369 --> 00:24:15.849 i would like to see change i would like to see 00:24:15.849 --> 00:24:19.250 us doing something together again with you all 00:24:19.250 --> 00:24:21.309 right sorsi you ready for some rapid rush requests 00:24:21.309 --> 00:24:25.309 let's get it request all right janessa rapid 00:24:25.309 --> 00:24:27.230 rush request we need this appraisal back yesterday 00:24:27.230 --> 00:24:31.170 apple you always mess this up i'm reading directly 00:24:31.170 --> 00:24:34.029 what charlie sent me and it says apple or iphone 00:24:34.029 --> 00:24:38.630 you do this every time android it's a it's a 00:24:38.630 --> 00:24:42.140 green dot or a blue dot i just do it Everything 00:24:42.140 --> 00:24:45.359 in my house is Samsung. Good answer. Every TV, 00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:48.619 every electronic, every phone, Samsung. Samsung. 00:24:49.119 --> 00:24:51.539 That one person in the iPhone chat that ruins 00:24:51.539 --> 00:24:53.519 it for everybody else. Oh, me too. I'm that guy. 00:24:54.119 --> 00:24:55.920 I'm okay with that. Separately to everybody, 00:24:56.119 --> 00:24:57.900 then it starts like a weird chain. It's awful. 00:24:59.059 --> 00:25:02.960 TV shows, binger. What was your latest binge? 00:25:03.500 --> 00:25:07.539 Yellow Jackets. That's so good. So good. Was 00:25:07.539 --> 00:25:10.579 it good? We just finished it. I'm so sad it's 00:25:10.579 --> 00:25:13.279 over. Is it over, over? There's going to be another 00:25:13.279 --> 00:25:15.000 season. No, there's another season coming. But 00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:17.880 we just caught up. We watched the first two seasons. 00:25:17.980 --> 00:25:21.200 And it was just, I mean, you have some legendary 00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:25.720 actresses from, you know, from the 90s. And it 00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:29.359 just, I can't even talk about it. It's just so 00:25:29.359 --> 00:25:32.059 good. It was phenomenal. We're watching Twisted 00:25:32.059 --> 00:25:35.099 Metal right now. Okay, sweet. And it's got Anthony 00:25:35.099 --> 00:25:40.220 Mackie from Marvel. So funny. It's amazing. Definitely 00:25:40.220 --> 00:25:42.059 a must -watch. But if anybody listening hasn't 00:25:42.059 --> 00:25:43.740 checked out Yellowjack, I highly recommend it. 00:25:43.839 --> 00:25:48.259 It's not what you expect at all. I'm jotting 00:25:48.259 --> 00:25:50.640 that down. It's kind of creepy. It's a little 00:25:50.640 --> 00:25:53.740 hardcore when you're not expecting it. Exactly. 00:25:54.180 --> 00:25:57.700 But it's a very well -written show. Very well 00:25:57.700 --> 00:26:01.220 -written. You a coffee drinker? Yes. You got 00:26:01.220 --> 00:26:04.619 a go -to spot? Home. Home? If you're out and 00:26:04.619 --> 00:26:08.400 about, though. You got to stop and get a cup 00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:11.160 of joe or an iced coffee or something. So you 00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:12.420 guys aren't going to understand because I'm going 00:26:12.420 --> 00:26:16.019 to say Wawa. My next question is, does anything 00:26:16.019 --> 00:26:19.200 else exist except for Wawa? The gas station coffee? 00:26:19.539 --> 00:26:22.259 Wawa is the greatest store in the country. I'm 00:26:22.259 --> 00:26:24.759 not a fan of Starbucks. I'll grab Starbucks if 00:26:24.759 --> 00:26:27.240 I'm in a rush and there's nothing else. But when 00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:31.549 I tell you, you know, working from home. It changes 00:26:31.549 --> 00:26:34.569 a lot. I haven't even put gas in my car in three 00:26:34.569 --> 00:26:37.109 months. We drive my husband's truck around whenever 00:26:37.109 --> 00:26:39.750 we're going out. Last time I put gas in my car 00:26:39.750 --> 00:26:42.509 was April. I still have like 50 miles still empty. 00:26:42.750 --> 00:26:45.369 But now I make it myself. If I go anywhere, it'll 00:26:45.369 --> 00:26:47.630 probably be Wawa. Not a fan of Dunkin', not a 00:26:47.630 --> 00:26:49.630 fan of Starbucks. I guess I got to try Wawa. 00:26:49.630 --> 00:26:51.690 Does Wawa have iced coffee versions though? Oh 00:26:51.690 --> 00:26:53.650 yeah, they have everything. Wawa has everything 00:26:53.650 --> 00:26:57.789 you want. We have one Wawa within X amount of 00:26:57.789 --> 00:27:00.960 miles from me. I mean, I wouldn't go that far 00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:04.579 out of your way for Wawa, but if I had to choose, 00:27:04.700 --> 00:27:07.259 but yeah, we, we've got a Wawa on every corner. 00:27:07.299 --> 00:27:09.519 I think I have like 10 of them within five miles 00:27:09.519 --> 00:27:12.259 of me. Get you a bagel, get you a coffee and 00:27:12.259 --> 00:27:14.720 a bagel. Oh, the bagels, the bagels in Jersey. 00:27:14.920 --> 00:27:18.119 That water, man. It changes that, changes the 00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:20.099 game. Those things are delicious. All right. 00:27:20.099 --> 00:27:22.039 So speaking of Jersey, this is a Jersey thing 00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:24.019 and a Jersey question. And I have a feeling you're 00:27:24.019 --> 00:27:25.380 going to answer it. I already know what you're 00:27:25.380 --> 00:27:29.160 going to ask. Go ahead. Oh, do you? Yes. Is it 00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:31.160 Taylor Ham or is it pork roll? It's pork roll. 00:27:31.339 --> 00:27:33.819 No, it's not a Taylor Ham. No, because if you 00:27:33.819 --> 00:27:36.259 look at the logo, it says Taylor Pork Roll on 00:27:36.259 --> 00:27:39.220 it. I know. On the label, it says ham. I know. 00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:42.299 That's the North Jersey people. My dad's from 00:27:42.299 --> 00:27:45.299 North Jersey. So it's Taylor Ham. Do you have 00:27:45.299 --> 00:27:48.549 it where you are? Um, I, there's a sandwich shop 00:27:48.549 --> 00:27:51.730 called Jersey Boys here that keeps it. So like 00:27:51.730 --> 00:27:54.710 I can buy like that actual Taylor pork roll from 00:27:54.710 --> 00:27:56.569 Jersey Boys. So you can get pork roll, egg and 00:27:56.569 --> 00:27:58.990 cheese, salt, pepper. Oh yeah. I'll make it. 00:27:59.849 --> 00:28:02.349 Cut it, put the little slits in it, fry it up, 00:28:02.390 --> 00:28:05.069 put it on some toast. I have it in my fridge 00:28:05.069 --> 00:28:06.910 right now. It's always in there. It's so good. 00:28:07.049 --> 00:28:09.910 It's a staple, but it's, it's pork roll. It's 00:28:09.910 --> 00:28:12.349 like a breakfast meat. What is this? Yeah. I 00:28:12.349 --> 00:28:14.529 mean, it's like a glorified spam maybe. I was 00:28:14.529 --> 00:28:16.839 going to say, it's kind of like spam. But I don't 00:28:16.839 --> 00:28:19.420 like Spam. No, it's because it's not kept in 00:28:19.420 --> 00:28:21.900 a can.

He did 00:29:39.660 --> 00:29:43.960 some rock music. I found him when he was on Octane, 00:29:44.039 --> 00:29:47.680 the series rock station. And then he just put 00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:49.559 out a country album, so he's pretty amazing. 00:29:49.740 --> 00:29:52.339 I saw him in concert last year. He's got some 00:29:52.339 --> 00:29:55.839 random face tattoos, but yeah. I love him and 00:29:55.839 --> 00:29:58.079 his life. They're a lot of fun to watch. And 00:29:58.079 --> 00:30:01.259 he's got a mullet. I love it. He's got a surprise. 00:30:01.599 --> 00:30:03.319 Listen to him. You wouldn't expect it. He's got 00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:04.779 great voice. All right, let's check him out. 00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:08.319 So if you're not listening to Value Nation, it's 00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:10.019 Jelly Roll. I get it. Okay, good. There you go. 00:30:10.140 --> 00:30:13.200 Yep. And last but not least, I think we're all 00:30:13.200 --> 00:30:15.079 going to know the answer to this question. You 00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:16.579 don't deal with me, so I can't be the answer, 00:30:16.640 --> 00:30:19.039 but who is your favorite account executive to 00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:22.599 deal with? As Charlie's popping his head up. 00:30:22.619 --> 00:30:24.720 Look at him smiling. We'll let you deal with 00:30:24.720 --> 00:30:27.059 the most. I'm not going to say it because he's 00:30:27.059 --> 00:30:29.460 sitting right in front of me, but I talk to Charlie 00:30:29.460 --> 00:30:32.619 every single day, and he gets it. He's very easygoing. 00:30:32.779 --> 00:30:35.720 He gets my complaints when there are complaints. 00:30:35.940 --> 00:30:38.420 He understands. He stole you from the rest of 00:30:38.420 --> 00:30:40.339 us, basically. I've worked with some complicated 00:30:40.339 --> 00:30:43.500 people in the past, and Charlie works well with 00:30:43.500 --> 00:30:47.700 me. Agreed. And, Swartz, you're right. Because 00:30:47.700 --> 00:30:49.960 R1 has said that, like, you kind of stole her 00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:52.319 from everybody else. You did. You completely 00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:54.480 hijacked her. There's so many Sasquatch I don't 00:30:54.480 --> 00:30:56.480 talk to. I don't get to know because, you know, 00:30:56.480 --> 00:30:58.720 Charlie keeps giving me all of his stuff. Because 00:30:58.720 --> 00:31:00.259 nobody else is closing the work. I don't know 00:31:00.259 --> 00:31:03.119 what to tell you. And so there's a second part 00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:04.519 to this question. We already know the answer, 00:31:04.680 --> 00:31:07.359 Kramer. Who is your least favorite A .E. to work 00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:10.299 with? For whatever reason. It could also be me 00:31:10.299 --> 00:31:12.960 because. I can't answer that question. I don't 00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:14.900 know how to answer that question. You can just 00:31:14.900 --> 00:31:16.619 say Kramer and move on with life. It's fine. 00:31:16.990 --> 00:31:19.789 No, I love Kramer. He's awesome. I'm just messing 00:31:19.789 --> 00:31:21.869 with him. Wait, can I say you since I haven't 00:31:21.869 --> 00:31:25.130 worked with you? Oh, perfect. I'll take it. I'll 00:31:25.130 --> 00:31:27.849 take it. Okay. Sports gets the title. That's 00:31:27.849 --> 00:31:31.190 the safe answer. I suck again. I suck again. 00:31:31.690 --> 00:31:34.789 Well, Miss Janessa, this has been lovely and 00:31:34.789 --> 00:31:37.029 we have taken up so much of your time. I know. 00:31:37.049 --> 00:31:38.609 I can only imagine what your inbox looks like 00:31:38.609 --> 00:31:41.829 right now on one of your five screens. I'm afraid 00:31:41.829 --> 00:31:43.789 to look. Did you minimize? I don't want to maximize. 00:31:44.440 --> 00:31:46.539 No, it's in front of me, but I have my laptop 00:31:46.539 --> 00:31:49.619 in front of it. So it's hidden. I'm afraid to 00:31:49.619 --> 00:31:52.160 look over to it. It's going to be slammed the 00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:54.740 laptop shut. But you know, it's only an hour 00:31:54.740 --> 00:31:58.259 left of the day. So hopefully it goes pretty 00:31:58.259 --> 00:32:00.940 quickly clearing out whatever's left inside that 00:32:00.940 --> 00:32:04.099 box. As long as the dog doesn't make a mess. 00:32:04.380 --> 00:32:06.960 The day doesn't stop. Appraisals don't sleep 00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:09.220 when you talk about hourly. No, never.
