We were here back in our beautiful studio.

Should we tell them our scare Monday?

Yeah, we tried to come in here Monday, and I was a little scared to come back in here today,

and why was that?

Because, so the other night, last week or whatever, we had a storm and our hardwired carbon monoxide detector went off and Andy pulled in the garage and he could hear it up here because if you guys remember, this is above our garage and he came in here and couldn't get it off of, hey, somebody fixed it. Oh, nice. Who is up here? I like when fairies come in and fix it. For real, though, like, who was that? It happened. Maybe Andy fixed it. I don't know. It's been since Monday. Sydney? Definitely not. She's too short to fix that. Anyway, so we, the carbon dioxide detector is going off. Andy could not get it to turn off. and so he pulled it down from the ceiling and pulled the wire out so that we had like a live wire in the ceiling not that it was exposed like you could like really grab it but the carbon dioxide detector is going off and you know like you guys know that's called like that's not good killer yeah so anyway he told him about that he's like don't go back up there until we figure this out blah blah so um we were getting it worked at looked at and then we got a like a stationary carbon

oxide detector where did i put that thing it's like a little remote one i saw it over there oh i

said it over there um so got just like a regular one and it was tested and everything was fine. Well then I should say I didn't test it. I had so Amber who works at the house here. She and her husband came to fix our tub. He was coming to fix the drain or whatever. So he actually went and got it for me. Yeah. And they came up and tested it and it was all fine. And she told me about that. I was like, okay, cool. So then we came up here Monday, you guys. So we're recording this on

Thursday. And we came up here Monday to do a photo shoot with my photographer, Sydney. And I hit the test button just because, you know, I'm like a little freaked out. And it goes do do do all the way up to like 400 parts per million. And it said like evacuate, find fresh air. I was like,

what? So I did it like three times and it kept doing that i was like come on you guys let's get out and i opened the window and i'm like she's like shushing air and i'm just trying to get good air in i'm bringing fresh air and like waving and i'm like and we've only been up here for like i don't know it was like 10 minutes maybe yeah and we felt fine yeah and so we all get out of here and then I tell I go down in the garage like

Andy it's 400 bars per million carbon dioxide up there anyway then later that night I'm in the shower

and I was like wait that was the test it was probably just testing the reader to see how far it could

reach a horrible way to test the tester though. I know. I know. Especially when the other one was going off. So anyway, I asked Amber when she was back here on Wednesday and I was like, hey, because she read on the box, she's like, oh no, she's like that's just what it does to like to show the gauge, like to test it to how high it goes and then it shuts off she's like if it runs continuous at that

tone then then that's when it was.

She's like, because she read all the box because she thought the same thing as I did. Gotcha. And then so her and her husband read it and she let me know. And I was like, oh, I was like, okay, because, you know, I'm up here. When I was like, man, do I look a headache? and she goes, I was the same way, like, am I sleepy?

Like, we were just like... We're getting placebo effect carbon monoxide.

For real.
