Welcome to Getting Curious. I'm Jonathan Benes and every week I sit down for a gorgeous conversation with a brilliant expert to learn all about something that makes me curious.

On today's episode, I'm joined by Amanda Seals, where I ask her, how do you make me lull so hard?

Welcome to Getting Curious, this is Jonathan Benes. This is such an exciting reunion.

We literally have a guest that I have chills on my triceps to welcome. We have Amanda Seals, who is a comedian and actress, a writer, a producer, and more, but I have to say, we have a lot of ground to cover today because we have a lot of mutual

loves and things that we have to get to. You just moved into a new house and we were just talking about it on this zoom and I hate that you guys can't see it, but I'll just verbally describe it for you.

We are getting, well, at least according to my computer and how I receive light, I am getting this like lavender pink wall that is so pretty.

And I love I think you're in your office, maybe in this green nature right outside this window. Oh, I mean, she was just saying that she was just like, oh, I feel like I should be, you know, three looking like the, you know, the whatever can't sign your R was like, it feels like a shoot.

I don't know it's already so pretty. It's everything and then also me and a mention that she has a theater room in her house, but the way with that, but I was like, oh, my God, good job.

I'm having a theater room with that. And she's like, but I did a way with that. I'm going to tell you why and that's what happens. I didn't know this is going to be a two point, but I'm rolling with that.

People want to know why did you get rid of it?

I got rid of it because we basically have a living room, but we didn't have like a family room. And I, you know, I don't think I ever conceptualized the difference until like it was in my own space.

And the living room in this house is very much like it's a living room. It's a sitting room like it and my partner was like, I just don't feel like we should have a TV in here. Like it just feels like very serene. And so I was like, you know what, you're right.

But if we don't have a TV in here, like we are TV people, like we gather on the couch and we watch TV.

It's like your cuttly cute, done TV room.

That's what's going to be. This is the first time at everybody house. The process is but it is. And also just let me just tell you guys some things that you're buying a house.

Some things to look for that they will fucking not tell you.

Because you get an inspection done. And but the inspection is really just to make sure that everything works and is not dangerous and nothing's leaking.

Ultimately, that's really what the inspection is. They're not like going to tell you if things are done.

Like that's how you find something's done up to code, but they're not going to tell you like, is this doing is this like the best it could be.

So for instance, like our air conditioners like yeah, our conditioners are working. But if I had known before, I would have said you need to replace this air conditioner here that's 10 years old.

And that that is on its last leg.

Yes, we have water filter systems in three sinks.
