• 2:59
  Speaker 1: interested in this voice. After Grandpa watches the power ball,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: I got off the slide, I get very dizzy.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: So there were kids at the call the Sack barbecue.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: So I get I move into this called a sack
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: and there's like six houses there in a little circle there,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: which is how call the sacks work. And uh. One
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: of the neighbors shortly after we moved there came over
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: and introduced herself and was very interested in me and
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: my life and my kids and their ages and what
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: school they go to and everything like that. And we
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: ended up exchanging numbers and she always says hello. And
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: then I've gotten to know my very next door neighbors
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: who are younger. They're quite a bit younger. They're like
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: in their mid thirties and got two young kids. And
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: I really like them. And then they I got a
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: text from the older couple they've all been there for
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: decades and that they're having a we have an annual
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: barbecue and we'd like you to come, and they told
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: me what to bring and when it is and all
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: that sort of stuff. So and because I'm a what
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: do you call people who don't like to be around
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: other people, introvert? Introvert? Because I'm an introvert, I just
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: I dread those sorts of things. I wish I didn't.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, there was nothing to not like about any
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: of these people, but it is going to be around people.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know when I could just be in my house,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: in my cave in the dark alone or with my kids.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: But I forced myself to go because I wanted the
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: kids to go, because I know it's good for them
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: and to show that getting to know your neighbors is
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: a really good idea and all the benefits that come
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: with that and all that sort of stuff. So we went.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Food was freaking fantastic. Some of these old older people,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: they look for the opportunity to bring out their recipes,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: you know, because their kids are all grown and gone
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: and everything like that. They were like two different kinds
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: of homemade nochi and just all this different sort of stuff.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: It's fantastic.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Wow. I know.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: It was so good, and my kids ended up really
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: really liking it, and the the old guys were talking
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: to my kids, and one of the old guys has
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: got a couple of cool cars, so my son is
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: super into cars, got into conversation with them, and they
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: just they had a really great time. And some of
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: the people had little kids, and there was even a
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: baby there, and it was just it was so flipping wholesome.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: This is out of control wholesome.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I was at a similar gathering and what I
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: said to the kids was, whatever happened to jello? Why
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: don't you young people eat jello? It's a perfectly delicious
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: side dish, sometimes without fruit, sometimes with fruit, variety of colors.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: And I don't have any points.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: It's ground up cattles.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: I don't have any point to this story other than
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: if you are an introvert like me, go to these things.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I've never regretted going to something like this. And then,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: of course once we spent we ended up being there
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: for wow, like two hours, sitting around in folding chairs
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: in a circle with the kids playing in the middle
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: and all of us eating and talking. And once you've
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: gone and you get to know people, then you don't
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: your introvert is. You don't have to worry about your
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: introvert anymore because you know these people. They aren't people
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: you don't know, they're people you do know.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Yes, And then the exactly the same experience. And now
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I've finally learned it to the point I say, you'll
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: be glad you went. You will be glad you went go,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: and I do.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I'm glad my kids had the experience because,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: like I said, I want them to realize the advantage
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: of knowing your neighbors and all that sort of stuff.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: And I've already got that with my next door neighbors.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Now I have with more of them. Are like, you know, hey,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna be gone for the next week. Of a
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: moving van shows up and starts unloading everything for my house.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: That's not me, you know that sort of thing, or
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: in the house, or the other day it was a
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: text my neighbor and I'm not gonna be home for
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: a while. Is there any chance one of your kids
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: could go let the dog out? I'll pay them a
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: little bit. You know, just that sort of stuff. It's
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: so handy for your neighborhood.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Now, the red jello is allegedly cherry, and it tastes
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: somewhat like cherry. But the green lime. Have you ever
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: had a lime in your mouth? It tastes nothing like lime.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: It's a lie. That jello is a lie.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: A couple of them ended up being listeners, which was interesting,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: and uh so that was cool. I like that they
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: were they were happy. I was there. One guy, though,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: younger guy. He was the youngest adult male there and
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: he's like forty two. I think like that he had
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: a heart attack last year, and I made the mistake
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: of asking me asking him about it because I couldn't
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: handle the story. You ever had anybody tell you their
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: story about a heart attack?
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I have it.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Oh. I had to sit down.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I'm getting shortness of breath thinking about having heard the story,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: never mind actually listening to Michael.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: I can't take it. Oh, he's started telling the story
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: and how it unfolded over the day and everything like that.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I was getting light headed. Thanks for killing you. Why
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: does that happen?
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I know it's it's practically universal, though, I think, oh
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: my god, I had somebody want you into a story
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: like that the other day and I had to sit
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: down and so funny.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: But the most amazing thing at the end of it
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: was with modern medicine and everything they do. Total time,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: he said, from when he his wife parked the car
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: and he walked into the er to where he was
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: headed home a new man was forty seven hours. Wow,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: that's just modern miracles.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Man. Wow, boy got that young? That's Oh yeah, I.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Am getting a little lightheaded just thinking about the story.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: I should have Oh oh, sorry I brought that up.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: That's weird that a story like that can have had
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: an effect on you. I know, is it your brains?
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Is it your brain thinking this could happen to you?
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: But shouldn't your brain be thinking? Okay, listen carefully to this.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: This is a way to avoid Well, that's why I
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: ask make a good decision, right, this is important. And
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: oh I'm glad I heard that. No, No, instead, you
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: just want to faint.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Crack your head on the noki bowl. That's no good anyway.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: And unlike side dishes, jello can be molded into a
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: series of pleasing shapes.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Oh and what's the other saying about neighbors? Which is true.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: You can pick your nose, you can pick your friends,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: but you can't pick your neighbors. They tell me your family. Anyway,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: I'm very, very blessed. I have great neighbors, Thank God.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: You can pick your nose, but you can't pick your neighbors.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: And you certainly can't pick your neighbors. No, or you shouldn't,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: I believe, but you certainly shouldn't. Right, make sure you
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: know your neighbors. Well, I had him come over to
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: feed my pets, and uh, well they squatted in my house.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: So you're still trying to get them out.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Well, I guess that's it.
