U

UnknownUnknown

0:14

I keep it on at night, but then every morning Nubs stands at the back door and like basically just meows and stalks me until I open it.

U

UnknownUnknown

And so then I have to open the back door for him so that he can just sit there all day and watch the birds and the squirrels and the rabbits.

U

UnknownUnknown

0:36

And so I have to turn off the air conditioner because it's constantly running.

U

UnknownUnknown

0:43

Yeah.

U

UnknownUnknown

0:45

Nubs, nubs, nubs.

U

UnknownUnknown

These animals.

U

UnknownUnknown

0:47

They rule us.

U

UnknownUnknown

0:49

They have us wrapped around their little paws.

U

UnknownUnknown

I open the door for him every day and he sits there and I sweat my ass off.

U

UnknownUnknown

1:01

And then finally around like four or five o'clock, I just kick him out of the screen door area and close the door and turn the air conditioner back on.

U

UnknownUnknown

1:11

I mean, it's too hot for that lately.

U

UnknownUnknown

1:12

It's insane.

U

UnknownUnknown

1:13

I know.

U

UnknownUnknown

U

UnknownUnknown

It's this routine we established.

U
