  Speaker 1: Wyatt FM, hope you had a great, safe weekend.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Hopefully you're inside most of the weekend, but some people
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: were out and about.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: They had to do things. We were avoiding murder at
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: our house all weekend long.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: That sounds intense.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: The Bryant family avoiding murder. You know, my wife is
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: really good at finding things on Facebook Marketplace.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: She'll find something that is a great price. Either Miles
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: wants it, like it could be, for example, a great
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Cars costume. You know the movie Cars?
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Miles wants to be McQueen. And she found a great
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: costume on Marketplace for like five bucks.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: That's great.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: And there's a really hot item that kids want these
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: days called Neato's.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: They're like squishies.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: It's so simple, but they're hot. And so we found
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: some Neato's. So basically, we spent Saturday and a little
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: bit of Sunday. Coco, my wife, would say, all right,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: put this address in your GPS. We're going here. And
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: we had amazing pickups.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Whoa.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Everything was fine. The one pickup that didn't follow through
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: was kind of shady.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Uh-oh.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: The person already had a 2.6 ranking, Christine. That wasn't
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: a good sign.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Out of five?
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I think five. My wife is on it more, but
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I think... Is it five, Kristen, on the Facebook marketplace?
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Is that your highest rating? We'll go with five. 2.6,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I think, was our rating.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Doesn't sound great.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: And a lot of the comments underneath this woman was
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: flaky and didn't get what I asked for and blah, blah, blah.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Yipes. So we.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: We're communicating with this woman. I forgot what the item was,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: but it was something for the kids. And she said, okay,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: between 12 and 1, you can pick it up. And
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: so we're on the way. It's 12.05. And the woman says,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: do you need my address?
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: We're like, of course. We're close. So she gave us
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: the address. Right there, that's a bold move. She's showing
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: that she trusts us.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: You're not meeting in a parking lot.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Right. We're going to her apartment complex, apparently. Okay. And
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: we're on the way. We're five minutes away.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: And then this woman sends my wife a message saying, hey,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: can I get your phone number? And my wife was like,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: I don't mind, but why do you need my phone number?
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: And she said, well, I want to message you. And
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: then my wife says, but we're messaging now here on
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Facebook Messenger. She thought that was kind of weird. And
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: like 10 minutes went by and we're getting closer to
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: the house. And all of a sudden we get a
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Facebook message. And the woman says to my wife, Can't
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: find what you need.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Sorry.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Oh. Oh.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: And then my wife goes, okay, cool. Whoa. She was
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: going to go, but why? Yeah, yeah. Okay, we'll find
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: another item.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Wow. But it was very weird how we were that close.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: She gave us the address.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. Everything was moving along nicely. And just because my
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: wife wouldn't give her her phone number.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Phone number.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: They were messaging fine on Facebook Messenger.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: And then boom. And then we were like, well, maybe
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: that's why she had a 2.6 rating.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Flaky.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Flaky.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: It always feels a little risky, doesn't it? It feels
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: a little like.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Just a tad bit dangerous. You get butterflies. Yeah. And
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I had a transaction happen last week in a parking lot. Yeah.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I did it. Remember I talked about that?
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I did a pickup for my wife in Perth Amboy
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: at a Taco Bell parking lot. And I was a
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: little nervous because the person was coming.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Right. You know what?
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: They pulled up. They were super cool. The guy had
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: his work ID on around his neck. He was just
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: making some money and we're getting our stuff.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: You guys have to trust each other. I told you
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: my friend Ann Sayre took Eric one time for one
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: of these excursions, right? She had something on Facebook Marketplace
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: that was close to where we live as opposed to
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: where she lives.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: So Eric was like the safety man?
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. She didn't want to go alone, which I
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: don't blame her because she's going to somebody's house.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Uh-huh.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: But it turned out like when she got to the house,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: it was just like one elderly lady. It was like
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: it was fine.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Usually, you know, 99 percent of the time it's fine.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: It was OK.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: But Eric was there as a backup, as a buffer,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: just in case.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I'm curious.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Look, if you could hit us up on text at 44363.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Any strange Facebook marketplace or it's not just Facebook marketplace.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, you can do anything really online.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, I tried to do furniture on there and
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: people flaked out every single time.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, you told me you're looking for a dresser.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Now we're looking for a dresser, yes. If you guys
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: see a nice dresser for Eric, that would be great.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Are you going to pick it up? We'll pick it up.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: But selling it, I found, was a little tough.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like I was trying to sell furniture, and that
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: involves somebody's got to pick it up because it's a
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: big piece.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: And they want to come inside and see it before. Yeah. Usually,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: if you can get it done outside, it's the best.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: I know, it's better. All right, we want to hear
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: from you on text. It's Light FM, coming right back.
