“No Dogs Allowed, Karen (Ambient Sound)” intro by David Kato [Our apartment neighbor’s girlfriend brought her dogs over for a weekend visit. Our property is supposed to be dog free, cats only. This was one of the reasons we chose to pay thousands of dollars to live here. However, the property manager is allowed to have a dog (?!?), and people play monkey see monkey do. The night before this episode was recorded, neighbor girlfriend (we’ll call her Karen) was taking her dog out for a piss & shit about 3 feet from another neighbor’s window. I witnessed the incident as she attempted to choke her dog into shutting up, pulling aggressively on the leash so its front paws were off the ground, telling it sternly “Be quiet!” The other neighbor came out and asked her to not walk her dog by their bedroom window and then asked if they were even a resident here. Karen replied she was (she’s not). Cut to the morning of these four ambient sound recordings: 1) Karen is showing her boyfriend where the incident happened. Karen downplays her actions & behavior (as any true Karen would), lies about how close she was to the neighbor’s window, & calls the neighbor who confronted her last night a “bitch.” They leave, then later 2) we hear loud opera music coming from their apartment unit & a nice door slam. A little while later 3) her dog begins barking, then later again 4) she takes another dog out for a piss while talking to our creepy neighbor guy.]

My good friend Endri & I catch up on the state of things in Iowa vs California vs America vs the World. The 2-hour phone call ends abruptly, as they usually do, with someone either losing signal or battery juice, much like life itself. This time it was his fault, so suck it, Endri.
