If it were, it wouldn’t be nearly as entertaining as it is, and it wouldn’t get the amount of hits it does.

4:36 – your lover is talking out of the same a$$ you eat for dinner.
Um, I think 4:36 meant it as a joke…at least that’s how I read it.
4:33, this is the Berkeley house that sold and was last listed for $3.35. It was perfectly renovated. You must be talking about the other Berkeley house that was a real fixer-upper.

Your lover will soon be out of a job then, 4:36.
