  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's all I want for Mother's Day.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_01: I don't want anything else, honestly.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_01: I want those two appetizers, maybe a pizza from there.

• 1:56
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_01: I don't mind.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_01: Like Mother's Day is about being a mom.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_01: So, like to me, I'm like, I like to be around the kids.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_00: Give you some relaxation.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_00: I got plans, maybe.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_01: Oh.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_00: There's not, it's not really like big plans.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: It's just I'm like, what are the plans?
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_00: Just think of maybe take them away for like an hour or two and then come back to rest.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, just have your me time for a moment.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_00: And then we'll come back and enjoy our Mother's Day.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_00: And party.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_00: And party.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, we're gonna party.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_01: As in party, I mean we'll probably be watching Moana.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_00: Moana, yeah.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_00: Tyson.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_01: Moana or Beauty and the Beast.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: He's into he's been in the beauty and the beast for the last few weeks, and right before Disney, like hold on to that.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, there's a lot of cool things in Disney that deal with Lumiere, Cogsworth, Bell, yes, the beast gaston.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_00: We can his pub that's there that really isn't a pub.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_00: I wanted him to experience that, but right now he's into the crab.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_01: The crab from Moana.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_01: I think it's because he likes crabs.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_01: And then like it just naturally he saw that there was a crab in Moana, and he loves villains.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_01: So that's like a mashup for him.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_00: And shout out Danny Go.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_00: There's one particular video that both the kids like right now that where they do dance like an animal.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_00: Dance like an animal, and one of us a crab, and he gets down, he does the crab walk, he does his little crab thing, crab arms.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_00: Benny is funny with it too, that whenever the dinosaur comes out, she's like, it's me.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_00: She laughs every time.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_01: That's great.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_00: It's great.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_01: It's so funny.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_00: Um, with summertime, it does bring neighbors out and about.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_00: Everyone's been in hibernation.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_00: Some have stayed in hibernation.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_00: Whenever we move to our neighborhood for the first six months, we shook hands with our neighbors.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_00: Pleasure to meet you.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_00: I would say four months.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_00: Four months of just because then it was March.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, knowing who they are.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_00: March hits and it was 2020.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we all know what happened then.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_00: Know what happened then.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_00: About few a few weeks pass in 2020, and the neighbors started to get a little stir crazy.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_00: We were a part of that.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_00: And one neighbor in particular, our next door neighbor, shout out Steve.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_00: If you're listening, I know you aren't, but shout out Steve.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_00: I don't even think he knows what a podcast is.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_01: Probably not.
• 4:07
  unknown: No.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_00: But he was out there.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_00: We're like, we should take the dogs out.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_00: At the time we didn't have our kids.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_00: And then all the other neighbors started to congregate and we were six feet apart.
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we stayed six feet apart.
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_00: And then about a week or two passed, we're like, we haven't gone, no one has gone anywhere.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_01: That's yeah, we've all just been at our house.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_01: I love summertime in our neighborhood or like on our street specifically because there's so many kids that are the same age.
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_01: All of the parents are super chill.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_01: Everybody on our streets, like very friendly.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_01: Very friendly.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_01: And like, I don't know, it makes I didn't grow up in a neighborhood.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_01: I grew up on a main street, so I didn't have that.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_01: So like to have that now, I'm like, I absolutely love that.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_00: I grew up uh the street that I was on.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_00: My sister was she's over, she's about 10 years older than me.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_00: Shout out.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_01: Don't reveal her age.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_00: Don't reveal her age.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_00: Um she lived two doors down.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_00: My sister lived two doors down.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_00: And our other neighbors within the neighborhood, so to say, not necessarily my street, but the kids my age, we would go around and play different games.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_00: And it was one of those neighborhoods where it was like late 90s, early 2000s.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_00: My parents, like, you have to be home when the streetlight comes on.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_00: And when I start to hear the buzz of the streetlight turning on, I gotta get home.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_00: I gotta hurry up.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_00: I gotta get home before they get mad at me.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_00: And then it became into turning 16 and getting my license, like be home by 11 o'clock.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_00: Like 11:01 hit.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_00: Like I'm grounded for a week because I'm a minute late.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_00: My parents weren't like harsh, they didn't really ground me, but in my mind, I'm thinking I'm gonna be in like big, big trouble for it.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_00: But when we lived in Florida, we never really had we had neighbors, but we did not talk to them.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, like we maybe said hi.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_00: We're we were cordial with them.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, there was a couple times we maybe had a couple cocktails and ended up like somehow in their house a couple times.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, what are we doing here?
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_01: I literally don't know about these people.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_00: Why am I here?
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_00: We do that way too often with our neighbors now.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_00: Everyone, like my two best friends outside of my buddies from college or buddies from home are my neighbors always neighbors on the street.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_00: Shout out again, Steve and Rick.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_01: Rick probably knows what a podcast is.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_00: Rick knows what a podcast is.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_00: Rick's always on social media following along.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_00: So shout out Rick.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_00: I know you're listening.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_00: With the summertime hitting and then just seeing the neighborhood kind of come to life, we figured this episode would gear towards neighbors in the neighborhood.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_01: We got a really good story about a nosy neighbor.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_01: So if you didn't know, that's what today's episode's about.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_01: Neighbors.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_00: Neighbors, not the movie.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_01: Won't you be my neighbor?
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_00: Another shout out.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_00: We said it maybe an episode in one of the first few episodes.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_00: We moved into our neighborhood.
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_01: Right after.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_00: Right after, right after.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_00: Shout out Tom Hanks.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_00: If you ever want to get on again.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_00: But he filmed not the entire movie, but a couple of the scenes were in our neighborhood, and Tom Hanks was there.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_00: And everyone that was living there at the time, they all congregated to the house.
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_00: I would have been down there.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_00: And he was very nice to everybody.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_00: He was taking pictures, he was welcoming everybody to our very own neighborhood, I guess.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_01: I just think that's so cool.
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_01: Like if that I wish.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_00: But it is shout out neighbors regardless.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_00: Shout out Tom Hanks.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_00: And Tom Hanks, shout out to you.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_01: So all right.
• 7:25

• 7:43
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.

  SPEAKER_01: And we are totally open to feedback.
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_01: We've been having guests on.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_01: We'll start having more.

• 8:03
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.

  SPEAKER_00: We want to do it.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_00: I would say very happy with everyone giving the feedback.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_00: We've been five stars across the board.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_00: Heck yeah.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_00: Five stars only.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_00: Five stars only.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_00: Four.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_00: I wasn't even saying four stars only before.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_00: But it's only been five stars, which I appreciate the five-star review.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_00: Because we can blabble.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_01: We're going to get into the story.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_01: This segment is brought to you by memory.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_01: That's M-E-M-O-R-I-I.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_01: And if you're getting married and can't afford a videographer, then this one's for you.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_01: One of the biggest regrets couples talk about after their wedding day is not having enough video footage of the moments that mattered most to them.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_01: Professional videography can be amazing, but for a lot of couples, it ends up getting cut from the budget.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_01: And that's where memory can come in.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_01: Memory lets you collect all of the videos your guests take throughout your wedding day, and it turns them into a professionally edited wedding film built from your guests' real perspective and memories from your day.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_01: The laughs, the dance floor, the chaos, and all of the emotional moments, all the stuff that you would normally never see again, you will get in your wedding video.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_01: It's super easy, memorable, and honestly, a genius idea for any modern wedding that cannot afford a videographer.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_01: Plus, you get your edited video back in just a few days.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_01: So imagine being on your honeymoon and this video comes into your inbox.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_01: Use code Cassie10 for 10% off at checkout at memory.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_01: That's M-E-M-O-R-I-I.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_01: I have been a listener for about two years now, and I always laugh at the crazy scenarios people find themselves in while wedding planning.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_01: And my husband encouraged me to write in about my nosy neighbor and the effort she put in to try to stop our wedding day from happening in our backyard.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_01: I've changed all the names for this story.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_01: I will be Hannah.
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_01: My hubby will be Grant, and my nosy neighbor will be Susan.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_01: In 2019, my now husband and I were tying the knot.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_01: We had just bought a beautiful home and a great neighborhood, super friendly neighbors, all except for one, Susan.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_01: She lived to the right of us and was very, very nosy.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_01: She was caught twice snooping in our mailbox, claiming she thought the mailman left her mail in our box on accident.
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_00: That's a federal offense.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_01: I was just thinking that.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_01: Once while on a weekend getaway, she contacted us via Facebook Messenger about the lack of movement in our driveway, saying she looked in our windows to see if we were there and she didn't see anyone, so she called for a welfare check.
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_01: It was a whole thing.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_01: I understand being like a watchful neighbor, but that's too much.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_01: We always were very kind to her, talking to her when we were all outside.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_01: But when we put up a privacy fence in our backyard, she got even nosier.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_01: I frequently found her sitting on her porch just looking around the neighborhood with binoculars.
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_01: This was very strange to me.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_01: Is this a woman married or is she living alone?
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, she has nothing better to do for sure.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_01: We had decided to throw a small wedding about 40 to 50 people at our house.
• 10:50
  SPEAKER_01: In preparation for the wedding, we contacted the HOA to make sure that would not be a problem.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_01: We were doing a daytime cookout style backyard wedding thing.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_01: Grilling, we had the pool open for some kids, and we're using the patio for dancing with our home speakers, not even bringing in a DJ.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_01: We were doing a courthouse wedding, so this was more of a party celebrating the marriage.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_01: I'm so glad we don't have to deal with an HOA.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_00: Whenever you mention HOA, seeking approval through that is a lot worse than just reaching out to your neighbors around you.
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_00: Like, hey, we're gonna have our son's birthday parties in our backyard.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_00: Please come and we'll be having a good time.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_00: The people were gonna be, it's gonna be a little bit louder.
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_00: It's a kid's birthday party, so it's not like we're getting rowdy.
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_01: So they like contact the HOA.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_01: HOA says good.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_01: We were going to be wearing our wedding attire and ask people to dress up, not fancy, but dress up for the wedding.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_01: We rented a couple of tables and we're bringing in a professional florist to decorate inside and outside.
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_01: So think fancy home wedding.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know how better to describe it.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_01: About one month before the wedding, we went around to the neighborhood to let everyone know we were hosting our wedding celebration at our house and that the neighborhood may be a bit busier than usual that day, possibly the day before and maybe the day after.
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so they're doing their due diligence.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_00: Before kids, we would have people over and I would let them know too that hey, there might be extra cars.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes I would ask our neighbor right next to us to adhere to having more cars on like the in the actual road.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_00: Can we like pop our cars in your driveway for the day?
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_01: Two neighbors on our street were invited to the wedding, and the rest didn't seem to mind at all.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_01: They all sent their congratulations and were excited for us.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_01: Everyone except for Susan.
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_01: No surprise.
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_00: Susan's just mad she didn't get the invite.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_01: When we told her she was mad that the street would be packed with cars and strangers she didn't know, and how she wanted no one parking in or around her house.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_01: We told her unfortunately people would be parking near her house because we were neighbors, but we would make sure they didn't park in front of her house.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_01: She also mentioned how she would need everyone to be gone around six because that's when she needs her rest time in the evening.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_01: We told her that the party was planned until eight, way before the noise ordinance in our neighborhood of 9 30 p.m.
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_01: After that conversation, I didn't anticipate much more grumpiness, but three big things happened in the final two weeks.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_01: Like your party's gotta end at six o'clock.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_01: Says who.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_00: To have a neighbor like Susan, we don't thankfully have one, and we never had one.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_00: I never even had one growing up either.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_00: Just not something that's I wanna do whatever.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_01: She proceeded to email the HOA about parking concerns five different times.
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_01: They finally forwarded it my way and asked if I had planned out parking at all.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_01: I told them the majority of the guests would park in our driveway and in front of our house, but any extras would be parking on the street.
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_01: They followed up asking if we could have the others park near the neighborhood playground and walk up to avoid further confrontation from Susan.
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_01: It was a bit of a walk, about 0.3 miles.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_01: We agreed, but we ended up asking our neighbors that were invited to the party if we could use their driveway, which they said yes.
• 13:55
  SPEAKER_01: This resulted in us having to contact everyone to figure out driving situations so we could assign people exactly where they needed to park.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_01: Unnecessary extra work and stress, if you asked me.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_01: Agreed.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_01: You shouldn't have to do like a parking chart for the cars.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_00: The only time that you really have to do a parking chart is if there's a family that has a baby, and if there's an elderly person that's attending your house, you always want to make sure for like holidays.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_00: My grandma was coming.
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_00: Closest spot.
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_01: So that must be the first bad thing she did.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_01: The week before my wedding, several gifts and decorations were being delivered to the house.
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_01: We didn't have a wedding shower.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_01: So lots of people bought things from the registry and mailed them directly to us.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_01: There was one day in particular where eight packages arrived, four larger gifts and four boxes from Amazon that she thought sat out too long.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_01: So she took it upon herself to bring them inside for safety.
• 14:49
  SPEAKER_01: The safe spot she decided on, her own house.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_01: I pulled in the driveway to her loading things up onto a wagon and pulling them into her garage again.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_01: I think that's illegal.
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, with this mailing situation.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_00: I I always give a thank you to our neighbors.
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_00: Like we order Chewy for our dogs for dog food.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_00: And if it's out there and we're away, I get a text like, hey, you got a big package in your driveway, just FYI.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_00: Not like you gotta get rid of it.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_00: But it's raining and you might want to bring it in.
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_00: Or I think one of our neighbors in particular is like, I put it against your garage so it didn't get wet.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, because we have the best neighborhood.
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_01: I confronted her and she tried to explain it away, saying it was neighbors watching after neighbors.
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_01: And I should be grateful to live next to someone who actually cares.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_01: I was annoyed and I rolled my eyes and explained that our packages were not going to be stolen.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_01: I knew they were going to be delivered, and that was the first thing I was going to do when I got home from work.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_01: She then asked, Why wasn't I invited?
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_01: I found out Tammy and Bob got the invite, and so did the Smiths.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_01: I had to explain how we've grown very close to them the past year, and we that we've lived here and we do a lot with them outside of our neighborhood.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_01: Not that I should have to explain anything to her.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_01: She said, If you aren't going to invite everyone on the street, you shouldn't throw your wedding here.
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_01: Some of us are feeling very left out.
• 16:10
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, only one person is feeling left out.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_01: Every other person was fine with it.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_01: I told her it wasn't my intention to have people feel left out, but this is a personal celebration, and I can invite whomever I'd like to my own house.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_01: The next smack in the face was a letter she put into everyone's mailbox gauging interest for a garage sale on the street.
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_01: Guess the date in question, our wedding.
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_01: I was pissed.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_01: My husband went over this time to talk to her, and she said, You don't own the date, and several people on our street have a free day, and I think it would be nice to build community by hosting a neighborhood garage sale.
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_01: Luckily, everyone else on the street said that date didn't work for them, and she did not move forward with it.
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_00: I gotta give her a little bit of props on it.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_00: She knows there's people from the outside coming in already, so she's trying to profit off of the wedding with her garage.
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_00: Like, oh, I got all these cars coming in.
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't think of that.
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_01: She's like, these guests might want to peruse before or after.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, obviously she might not have thought that through, but in terms of a business standpoint, it's a great garage shell business idea.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_01: I was thinking more she was trying to make parking more difficult, like make their wedding day more difficult.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_00: And just yeah, well, if they're gonna have a garage shell, then they're gonna have to park at the playground that's down the street then.
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_00: And walk up.
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_01: The final punch came one day before the wedding.
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_01: I was woken up by loud sawing noises.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_01: I walk out to see what it was.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_01: She decided she needed to have a giant tree removed from her side yard.
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_01: You guessed it, the side yard that was next to us.
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_01: Dust chips, tree branches, leaves going everywhere.
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_01: My husband approached her again because I was so livid I could not talk to her.
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_01: She told him it was a two-day job and they would be finishing up sometime tomorrow afternoon.
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my gosh.
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't realize how crazy tree removal was until I had to see it after that storm.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_01: And like that is so noisy.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_01: And like they're up in the tree, like right there.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, if you even if you have a privacy fence, they are looking over, you can hear everything.
• 18:12
  SPEAKER_00: That it is the vehicle that gets rid of the tree.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like the shredder.
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_00: The shredder.
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_00: The shredder.
• 18:18
  SPEAKER_00: Uh yeah, I'm like the tree removal.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the the back part of the truck, the vehicle they bring in, the shredder, is insanely loud.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_00: Again, if you got to remove a tree, I understand.
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_00: But she knew one, there was a wedding happening, and she tried to do a garage shell, and then she was like, Well, the garage shell didn't work.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_00: What else can I do to make this worse for them?
• 18:41
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 18:41
  SPEAKER_01: This person says, literally, what the hell?
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_01: Why did she need to do that?
• 18:45
  SPEAKER_01: I have no clue.
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_01: There was nothing wrong with the tree.
• 18:47
  SPEAKER_01: My husband ended up paying the company extra to push the final tree removal to Monday to avoid issues on our wedding day.
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_01: Good for them.
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_01: But also They shouldn't have to be paying.
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_01: Finally comes the wedding day.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_01: And I guess Susan's personal snooping day.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_01: She made it her personal mission, I think, to disrupt the plans that we had.
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_01: She set up a bunch of cones in front of her house to veer people away from parking there with caution tape in between.
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_01: It looked like a crime scene.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my god.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_01: It's just like unnecessary.
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_00: But we we bought or we didn't do it.
• 19:21
  SPEAKER_00: Goodness.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_00: At the bottom of our neighborhood, there was a new pizza place that opened up.
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_00: And I get it.
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_00: Whenever it opened, there's people parking in a very kind of like inopportune.
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_00: In uh in a place that they should not be parking at.
• 19:35
  SPEAKER_00: There's a stop sign, it's a lot of traffic that flows through it, and the person put cinder blocks there to blockade people parking there.
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_00: So I kind of get it in that light, but I'm assuming with an HOA, they probably don't live somewhere that has a lot of vehicle traffic going through.
• 19:52
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_01: Doing that is don't you think the HOA is gonna be like you can't put up with it?
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_01: No, you can't do that.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_00: Thank goodness I never lived in an HOA.
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like this is proving my desire to never do that.
• 20:04
  SPEAKER_01: When I read the story submission, I felt that this was probably like a fancier neighborhood.
• 20:08
  SPEAKER_01: That's what I was like getting from.
• 20:10
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 20:10
  SPEAKER_00: To be not like I'm great for them, but to say that majority of the cars are gonna be able to park in their driveway, like we can fit four cars max in our driveway.
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_01: They might be able to fit like six.
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know the size of this house.
• 20:22
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_01: It looked like a crime scene.
• 20:24
  SPEAKER_01: Our guests then started to get worried that they were gonna get towed.
• 20:27
  SPEAKER_01: I had to answer four calls about it as people were arriving for the wedding.
• 20:31
  SPEAKER_01: She also made the decision to set up a very tall ladder in her backyard while blasting Jimmy Buffett on repeat.
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_01: What's the ladder for?
• 20:43
  SPEAKER_01: She kept climbing up the ladder to dust off the shutters or paint the shutters.
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know what the hell she was doing up there.
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_01: She honestly looked like she was climbing up to do nothing, just to look into the backyard.
• 20:54
  SPEAKER_01: While Margaritaville blasted over and over again, cheeseburger in Paradise can only be heard so many times before it gets annoying.
• 21:00
  SPEAKER_01: My dad walked over there and asked her kindly to turn it down during the first dance and the speeches, which she did grumpily.
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_01: Other than that, she didn't cause much chaos.
• 21:10
  SPEAKER_01: After the wedding, she asked to see photos, and I told her there was no need since she saw it all from her ladder that day.
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_01: She has been pretty distant since.
• 21:19
  SPEAKER_01: Tried to yell at us for putting our trash cans too close to her yard once.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_01: Other than that, I act like I don't know her if I see her in public.
• 21:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_00: Everything about this Susan lady is a punchable offense.
• 21:30
  SPEAKER_00: Susan sucks.
• 21:31
  SPEAKER_00: You I never wanted to punch somebody more.
• 21:33
  SPEAKER_00: If I dealt with a neighbor like this, I would be arrested for assault.
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_01: She's also one of those people that like does all these mean wrong things on purpose and then like expects people to be friendly to her.
• 21:45
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 21:45
  SPEAKER_01: That's not how it works.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_00: I don't need to be cordial with you.
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_00: I get mad whenever our neighbor that moved in, not to the right of us, but to the left of us, does not cut her grass.
• 21:54
  SPEAKER_00: Like, and we don't have an HOA.
• 21:56
  SPEAKER_00: I know you can't do it.
• 21:57
  SPEAKER_00: Just hire somebody.
• 21:58
  SPEAKER_00: You have a massive
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_01: Or just ask for help.
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_01: Like most people are happy to be like, yeah, when I mow mine, I'll mow yours.
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_00: We had a neighbor that just moved out of our neighborhood and we did a little going-away party for her at the local restaurant by us.
• 22:13
  SPEAKER_00: And we mentioned how the neighbor that moved in directly next to me doesn't do any the people that lived there before her did so much landscaping work.
• 22:24
  SPEAKER_00: It always looked great.
• 22:24
  SPEAKER_00: It's at the corner going down our street.
• 22:27
  SPEAKER_00: We're like, she doesn't even cut her grass.
• 22:29
  SPEAKER_00: And shout out to them.
• 22:30
  SPEAKER_00: Whenever they moved, they did get their uh mower out and cut the lawn.
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_00: But they also like left the leftover grass.
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_00: Shout out Steve, him and I cut it again.
• 22:41
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 22:41
  SPEAKER_00: And she's like, oh, I'm surprised.
• 22:43
  SPEAKER_00: Like neighbors don't really do these nice things like this wherever I was at before.
• 22:48
  SPEAKER_00: Like, well, like I thankfully it was already cut.
• 22:51
  SPEAKER_01: But also do it.
• 22:53
  SPEAKER_01: If you can't do it yourself, which some people can't physically do it, hire someone else.
• 22:57
  SPEAKER_01: If you can't afford that, which is fine too, ask for help.
• 23:01
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 23:01
  SPEAKER_01: Like most people, somebody in this neighborhood is gonna be able to help out.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_00: Right, right.
• 23:06
  SPEAKER_01: I don't want a Susan neighbor.
• 23:07
  SPEAKER_01: I'm glad we don't have any Susan neighborhood.
• 23:12
  SPEAKER_00: You are SOL.
• 23:15
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 23:15
  SPEAKER_01: Welcome to our signature segment.
• 23:17
  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely not.
• 23:19
  SPEAKER_01: Where today we're addressing things you should absolutely not be doing as a neighbor.
• 23:24
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 23:25
  SPEAKER_01: Or maybe absolutely yes.
• 23:26
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe absolutely, yes.
• 23:27
  SPEAKER_01: We'll see.
• 23:28
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna ask today, and Garrett's gonna give his take and I'll give my other take.
• 23:32
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we're professional neighbors.
• 23:34
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we are.
• 23:35
  SPEAKER_01: I guess.
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 23:37
  SPEAKER_01: Mowing your lawn at 7 a.m.
• 23:39
  SPEAKER_01: on a Saturday morning.
• 23:40
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's an absolutely not.
• 23:42
  SPEAKER_00: Saturday morning at seven is the Zen time.
• 23:46
  SPEAKER_00: Sleep time.
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_00: Sleep time Saturday or Sunday.
• 23:49
  SPEAKER_00: To be honest, if you're doing it Monday through Friday at 7 a.m., I will allow it because you're either getting ready to go to work, you left for work, the kids have got to get up for school.
• 23:59
  SPEAKER_00: So it's kind of a good alarm clock for it.
• 24:01
  SPEAKER_00: But the the additional thing about people mowing lawns is whenever someone does mow the lawn, then I'm forced to do it.
• 24:09
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, then you have to go do it.
• 24:11
  SPEAKER_00: Like I'd look at my grasp.
• 24:12
  SPEAKER_01: See, I think 7 a.m.
• 24:13
  SPEAKER_01: is just too early for any of that.
• 24:15
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe eight, maybe 8 30 would be the earliest.
• 24:18
  SPEAKER_01: And on the weekends, nine or later.
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_00: And if you're hiring somebody to do work outside at your house, they're not gonna start until probably eight, eight thirty at the earliest.
• 24:29
  SPEAKER_00: So except for the trash.
• 24:31
  SPEAKER_00: Trash, yeah.
• 24:32
  SPEAKER_01: Trash comes at 6 30 a.m.
• 24:33
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, oh my god, the worst is Monday morning.
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_00: We've done it very few times recently, but early on when we move there to our house, it would be like 6 a.m.
• 24:45
  SPEAKER_00: and I hear the truck, and it's either the recycling truck or the trash truck.
• 24:51
  SPEAKER_00: And now the trash truck comes later, and I would forget to take the trash out, and then you're stuck with trash for two weeks, and like we fill up quick now with the kids.
• 25:00
  SPEAKER_00: But back then we would have people over and have parties like we're 20 years old.
• 25:04
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 25:05
  SPEAKER_00: And not good, not good.
• 25:07
  SPEAKER_01: Or like we were trying to rush to get the trash cans down.
• 25:09
  SPEAKER_01: Like you hear it, you're like, Oh, we gotta go, hurry up.
• 25:13
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_01: Park parking directly in front of someone's mailbox.
• 25:17
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, again, it's so I think it's okay because you know what the mailman's gotta just get out and put it there.
• 25:24
  SPEAKER_00: It's not like the mail's gonna skip your house because someone's there, it's just the right thing to not do.
• 25:31
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like don't park.
• 25:33
  SPEAKER_01: I feel like if an if a mailman was answering that question, they'd be like, absolutely not.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 25:38
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm not a mailman.
• 25:39
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 25:39
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, sometimes I feel like I'm guilty of parking in front of the mailbox because that's the only spot, like if I'm visiting someone else's house.
• 25:45
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 25:46
  SPEAKER_01: Or like our babysitters park pretty close to our mailbox frequently.
• 25:49
  SPEAKER_01: And I remember once I got the mail and there was a note on it, and it was like, please, it it was like delayed a day because the person didn't get out of the truck, maybe because of weather or something.
• 25:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, weather might have been bad.
• 26:00
  SPEAKER_01: But it was literally like car parked too close to mailbox, and I'm like, oh, yikes.
• 26:05
  SPEAKER_00: So I guess maybe it is an absolutely not.
• 26:07
  SPEAKER_00: It's parking in front of a mailbox or someone else's driveway, not like directly in front of it.
• 26:12
  SPEAKER_00: Obviously, you don't want to like blockade if it's a small enough road, if you're parking in front of a driveway, it could be inconvenient.
• 26:19
  SPEAKER_00: It's inconvenient.
• 26:20
  SPEAKER_00: It's not necessarily an absolutely not, it's just an absolutely inconvenient.
• 26:25
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 26:25
  SPEAKER_01: And like one time our babysitter did that and got her car smashed.
• 26:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 26:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 26:30
  SPEAKER_00: So maybe don't do that.
• 26:32
  SPEAKER_00: Our neighbor also backed into your car and didn't say anything.
• 26:35
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 26:36
  SPEAKER_01: Letting your dog poop in someone's yard while you're on a walk and you don't clean it up.
• 26:40
  SPEAKER_00: Like the first part of it, if you didn't say the last five words, it was it's fine because that's just what happens.
• 26:47
  SPEAKER_00: Thank goodness your dog's going number two.
• 26:50
  SPEAKER_00: But to not clean it up, you can't be doing that.
• 26:53
  SPEAKER_01: That's a federal offense.
• 26:55
  SPEAKER_00: Is it really?
• 26:56
  SPEAKER_00: No, maybe.
• 26:57
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe if you do it.
• 26:58
  SPEAKER_00: But no, it was our I love Facebook community forums in our local one.
• 27:04
  SPEAKER_00: There's a particular drive that's in our like district.
• 27:10
  SPEAKER_00: And this was probably a few years back.
• 27:13
  SPEAKER_00: It still gets brought up in like conversation whenever there's something that's really blown up online.
• 27:18
  SPEAKER_00: But somebody went onto the community forum saying to not let your dog when you're walking to even go to the restroom.
• 27:26
  SPEAKER_00: Cleaning up wasn't even part of it.
• 27:28
  SPEAKER_00: It was like I just watched five people walk their dogs and they went number two in my yard.
• 27:33
  SPEAKER_00: Each one got cleaned up.
• 27:35
  SPEAKER_00: So then the the joke.
• 27:37
  SPEAKER_00: Then there's no problem.
• 27:38
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, then there's no problem for it.
• 27:39
  SPEAKER_00: Our neighborhood, we have a lot of dogs, so it happens a lot.
• 27:43
  SPEAKER_00: My issue is not necessarily yes, you pick it up.
• 27:46
  SPEAKER_00: Whenever I'm walking the dogs, I take the bags with me.
• 27:50
  SPEAKER_00: But there are people that will like leave their bag somewhere on the street and then not come back and retrieve it.
• 27:56
  SPEAKER_00: There's one right now in our on our street that is just sitting there.
• 28:01
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and then like cars hit it and it like gets all over.
• 28:07
  SPEAKER_00: Our bags currently for the dogs when I take them on a walk is blue.
• 28:11
  SPEAKER_00: They have paw prints on it.
• 28:12
  SPEAKER_00: This is if anyone ever questions me, it's like, you're it's your dog's bag.
• 28:16
  SPEAKER_00: It's your dog's poop in this bag.
• 28:18
  SPEAKER_00: It's not because it doesn't have the paw prints.
• 28:20
  SPEAKER_00: But I'm not picking it up, it's not my bag to pick up.
• 28:23
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, somebody probably bagged it and was like, I don't want to walk with this, and then just left it there.
• 28:27
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's just rude.
• 28:28
  SPEAKER_00: It's just rude.
• 28:29
  SPEAKER_00: The worst part though is when I'm walking the dogs and I carry the poop bags in my pocket.
• 28:35
  SPEAKER_00: We're gonna have to put explicit because I'm saying poop.
• 28:38
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 28:38
  SPEAKER_00: We're taking the the bags with us.
• 28:40
  SPEAKER_00: I'm taking the bags with us when I'm walking the dogs, and I'm running low.
• 28:44
  SPEAKER_00: Like I have two bags left, and I'm walking one of our dogs.
• 28:48
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, we're like once I get back home for the we have three dogs.
• 28:51
  SPEAKER_00: So once I get to the second or third dog, I have a fresh bag ready to go.
• 28:54
  SPEAKER_00: But our chocolate lab, depending on the like distance of the walk, he'll go one to two times most of the time.
• 29:03
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm good, I'm set two times.
• 29:06
  SPEAKER_00: But then he has this mystery third one that drops, and it's always just like the goeiest one.
• 29:12
  SPEAKER_00: And then I'm far away, and I can't, I'm not gonna clean it up with an existing bag that already has stuff in it because I already have it roped up.
• 29:19
  SPEAKER_00: It's good to go.
• 29:20
  SPEAKER_00: So then I will leave it, but I'll come back to it.
• 29:23
  SPEAKER_00: I'll the second dog I walk, or if it's on the last one you loop it, you just pick it up.
• 29:27
  SPEAKER_00: I'll pick it up, and then you gotta kind of make it seem like if there's I just like envision the neighbors watching me not pick it up.
• 29:34
  SPEAKER_00: So I kind of just give like a wave like, hey, hey, I'll be back.
• 29:38
  SPEAKER_00: I just ran out of bags.
• 29:39
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I feel like that's okay if you're in an instance where you run out of bags, but if you know you're walking your dog in the neighborhood, just bring the poop bags, like clean it up and don't lay the bag down.
• 29:50
  SPEAKER_01: Take it back to your house and put it in the trash can.
• 29:52
  SPEAKER_00: Steve, again, our our next door neighbor, he he has this goal in life to be our uh commissioner of our ward.
• 30:01
  SPEAKER_00: One of his three things that he wants to kind of make his stand on is poop bag stations throughout the neighborhood.
• 30:09
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 30:09
  SPEAKER_01: In Florida, they always had those everywhere.
• 30:11
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
• 30:12
  SPEAKER_01: Asking how much someone paid for their house before you even introduce yourself to the new neighbor.
• 30:17
  SPEAKER_00: In this day and age, you don't even have to ask.
• 30:19
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 30:19
  SPEAKER_00: Because I'm already looking at what the listing was, and then I see it goes contingent, and then I see that it sold for this much over.
• 30:28
  SPEAKER_00: These days everything's over.
• 30:30
  SPEAKER_00: Everything's over.
• 30:30
  SPEAKER_00: It's never really going under unless the house is a hunk of junk.
• 30:33
  SPEAKER_01: I feel like it's like a hot topic on our street too.
• 30:36
  SPEAKER_01: Like everyone's following it.
• 30:37
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 30:37
  SPEAKER_00: Well, we look at it at like we bought our house six years ago, and the houses that are going on our street are going double of what we paid for.
• 30:44
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's crazy.
• 30:45
  SPEAKER_00: Would I love to eventually get like a bigger house and go somewhere else?
• 30:49
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it'd be nice.
• 30:50
  SPEAKER_00: And we'd make a profit off of selling our home.
• 30:53
  SPEAKER_00: But then when we go to another place, we're gonna probably pay triple based off of it.
• 30:58
  SPEAKER_00: The housing market now is nuts.
• 30:59
  SPEAKER_00: No, you don't ask somebody that on what they paid for.
• 31:03
  SPEAKER_00: But again, Zillow is a free app to search homes around the area.
• 31:08
  SPEAKER_00: And we're not currently like looking for homes, but Zillow is one of my top 10 apps that I go on to just peruse just to look.
• 31:15
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes certain screens.
• 31:16
  SPEAKER_00: I feel like you show me houses.
• 31:17
  SPEAKER_01: Sometimes you're like, oh, look at this house.
• 31:19
  SPEAKER_01: We could get this house.
• 31:20
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, yeah, maybe.
• 31:21
  SPEAKER_01: Who knows?
• 31:22
  SPEAKER_01: Who knows where life will take us?
• 31:24
  SPEAKER_01: Peeking through your blinds every time someone pulls into your driveway.
• 31:29
  SPEAKER_00: Um, yeah, I'm doing it.
• 31:31
  SPEAKER_00: I'm also doing it.
• 31:32
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 31:33
  SPEAKER_01: Like even when people are walking down the street, I'm looking at who it is.
• 31:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, if it's my driveway, before I even have to peek, our dogs are seeing somebody pulling our street or uh in our driveway to like hey, there's someone here.
• 31:46
  SPEAKER_02: Hey, what are you doing here?
• 31:47
  SPEAKER_02: What are you doing?
• 31:48
  SPEAKER_02: Who's there?
• 31:48
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but yeah, walkers that are walking down the street.
• 31:52
  SPEAKER_00: I'm I'm peeking out.
• 31:53
  SPEAKER_00: I see some of the neighbors out.
• 31:55
  SPEAKER_00: Like, well, maybe I'll go out and conversate with them too.
• 31:58
  SPEAKER_00: No, I think it's all right.
• 31:59
  SPEAKER_00: I think that's yeah, your own property.
• 32:02
  SPEAKER_00: I want to know who it is.
• 32:03
  SPEAKER_00: Most of the time, it's like the pizza delivery guy, or it's an Amazon box coming in where we decide to get groceries delivered.
• 32:13
  SPEAKER_01: We are we are on a cul-de-sac, so we don't get a turn, we don't get a lot of turnaround traffic.
• 32:17
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 32:18
  SPEAKER_01: But I feel like in certain neighborhoods that would be annoying if you were like a convenient spot to have to turn around.
• 32:23
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 32:23
  SPEAKER_01: That would suck.
• 32:24
  SPEAKER_00: We one of my favorite spots locally around the Pittsburgh, the greater Pittsburgh area, and it's outside of Allegheny County, so local Pittsburghers are like, this isn't really Pittsburgh, but in Greensburg, PA, Joey O's pizza, it's in a very inconvenient place to pick up pizza.
• 32:42
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 32:42
  SPEAKER_00: The parking lot's terrible.
• 32:44
  SPEAKER_00: You got to park either on the street.
• 32:46
  SPEAKER_00: I think we had to do it the last time, but whenever we were pulling out to get on the road that we needed to get to to go to our next destination, I had to pull into a driveway.
• 32:54
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm sure that person gets it a lot.
• 32:56
  SPEAKER_00: So sorry to that person.
• 32:58
  SPEAKER_01: Whoever lives next to Joey as we turned around in your driveway.
• 33:01
  SPEAKER_01: Sorry about that.
• 33:01
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 33:02
  SPEAKER_01: Creating a neighborhood Facebook post before talking to your neighbor about an issue that you're having.
• 33:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you can't do it, but I love the drama to like see that online.
• 33:12
  SPEAKER_00: Like if I go to again, our community forum that's on Facebook, I just eat that thing up.
• 33:17
  SPEAKER_00: I love seeing that kind of stuff go online.
• 33:20
  SPEAKER_01: The community forums are so funny because it's like, did you hear those sirens?
• 33:24
  SPEAKER_01: What's going on?
• 33:24
  SPEAKER_01: It's like two seconds after you hear an ambulance.
• 33:26
  SPEAKER_00: You're like two minutes, two minutes past, and there's already 20 responses.
• 33:30
  SPEAKER_00: Like, there are people that just sit there and listen all around them to be like, what's going on out there?
• 33:36
  SPEAKER_00: Something's wrong.
• 33:37
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 33:37
  SPEAKER_00: Is there an accident?
• 33:38
  SPEAKER_00: Is there a fire?
• 33:39
  SPEAKER_00: Like they always go to the most dramatic thing.
• 33:42
  SPEAKER_01: And people like listen into the, I don't know what the police thing is.
• 33:45
  SPEAKER_01: Like you can listen in on a scanner.
• 33:46
  SPEAKER_00: Is that what the Pittsburgh scanner?
• 33:48
  SPEAKER_00: There's a the Pittsburgh scanner, uh, Twitter or X, the Everything app.
• 33:53
  SPEAKER_00: I follow that one.
• 33:54
  SPEAKER_00: I don't really go on X that much, but it's for things like the Pittsburgh scanner.
• 33:58
  SPEAKER_01: But do people like sit around and listen to that for fun?
• 34:00
  SPEAKER_01: I think so.
• 34:01
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, who has the time for that?
• 34:03
  SPEAKER_01: They're like, well, I know what happened because I was listening on the Pittsburgh scanner.
• 34:06
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, really?
• 34:07
  unknown: Yeah.
• 34:08
  SPEAKER_00: Most of the people that are causing Facebook drama in their community, if you go to their page, it's a flower as their profile picture, or it's like birds with a quote on it.
• 34:19
  SPEAKER_00: Freedom.
• 34:20
  SPEAKER_00: Freedom.
• 34:21
  SPEAKER_00: Freedom.
• 34:21
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the American flag with like a bald eagle.
• 34:24
  SPEAKER_00: And you're like, okay.
• 34:26
  SPEAKER_01: I also feel like our Facebook community pages are all about pizza.
• 34:30
  SPEAKER_01: Like everybody's fighting about the best pizza shop.
• 34:32
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, that's it's the easiest way to get 100 plus comments.
• 34:36
  SPEAKER_00: Best pizza place around.
• 34:38
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna do it later and just see what happens.
• 34:40
  SPEAKER_01: I remember I wrote on our Facebook page too when we were like looking for a new babysitter's.
• 34:44
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 34:45
  SPEAKER_01: And people are like so rude.
• 34:46
  SPEAKER_01: They're like, you're just gonna put this information out there on the internet.
• 34:49
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, it's just like having people apply for a job.
• 34:52
  SPEAKER_01: I'm telling them where to contact me so that I can like find out if you are available to babysit.
• 34:57
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not just hiring any Joe Schmo.
• 34:59
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 34:59
  SPEAKER_00: You're yeah, just because you're responding to it doesn't mean I'm gonna hire you.
• 35:03
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna get a background check on it.
• 35:04
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna do whatever.
• 35:05
  SPEAKER_00: But the pay the Facebook community forums are a sanctuary that never needs to go away.
• 35:12
  SPEAKER_00: Correct.
• 35:12
  SPEAKER_00: Like I still follow the one that's from my hometown.
• 35:15
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 35:15
  SPEAKER_00: And they got mad about a sign that it was the high school logo.
• 35:20
  SPEAKER_00: It wasn't by the high school, but it was it took the place of an 84 lumber sign, and everyone was in an uproar about it.
• 35:27
  SPEAKER_00: Like they it's a different world down in the Mon Valley area, Belvern, and in particular, in terms of the Facebook snobs.
• 35:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they're everywhere, they're everywhere on there.
• 35:37
  SPEAKER_00: So pretty dramatic.
• 35:39
  SPEAKER_00: I have to stay in it.
• 35:39
  SPEAKER_00: I have to stay in it.
• 35:40
  SPEAKER_00: Don't kick me out.
• 35:41
  SPEAKER_00: I know who runs it.
• 35:43
  SPEAKER_00: Don't kick me out, even though I don't live there anymore.
• 35:46
  SPEAKER_00: I don't think they really kick people out.
• 35:48
  SPEAKER_00: They kick people out whenever they find out they actually don't live there.
• 35:52
  SPEAKER_01: Calling the cops because someone is playing music at 9.07 p.m.
• 35:57
  SPEAKER_00: No, no, yes, no.
• 35:59
  SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
• 36:01
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think.
• 36:02
  SPEAKER_00: I don't think you call the cops, so to say.
• 36:04
  SPEAKER_00: You call or you maybe say, like, hey, can you turn it down?
• 36:07
  SPEAKER_00: My kids are asleep.
• 36:08
  SPEAKER_00: Because going from being a parent to not a parent in a neighborhood, I definitely get annoyed about certain things.
• 36:16
  SPEAKER_00: Am I a culprit of a lot of the things that I get annoyed with?
• 36:19
  SPEAKER_00: Absolutely, yes.
• 36:20
  SPEAKER_00: Like having the music up until like nine, 10 o'clock, sometimes even 11, back during 2020 times.
• 36:27
  SPEAKER_00: You don't call like the cops on that.
• 36:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 36:30
  SPEAKER_01: It's like if you have a problem, just go over to the neighbor's house and be like, hey, can you quiet down?
• 36:33
  SPEAKER_01: If you've asked them multiple times and they're not listening, then of course cops might have to get involved.
• 36:38
  SPEAKER_01: But I'm like, call me somebody at 907, come on.
• 36:40
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 36:41
  SPEAKER_01: If that was the case, then like our street would have the cops on it every every weekend.
• 36:45
  SPEAKER_00: Every weekend.
• 36:45
  SPEAKER_00: Not every weekend, every other weekend.
• 36:47
  SPEAKER_00: But it also gets me is when the kids are going to sleep and someone's going down the street and they honk their horn.
• 36:54
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, oh, it pisses me off.
• 36:56
  SPEAKER_00: We're going, the kids are trying to sleep.
• 36:58
  SPEAKER_00: I'm he is fading.
• 37:00
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, like almost out.
• 37:01
  SPEAKER_01: And then it's like beep, beep, beep.
• 37:02
  SPEAKER_01: And then they're like, what was that?
• 37:04
  SPEAKER_00: Who was that?
• 37:04
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, nobody.
• 37:05
  SPEAKER_01: It's the nighttime car.
• 37:07
  SPEAKER_01: Go to sleep.
• 37:07
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 37:08
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 37:08
  SPEAKER_00: We have the what is it?
• 37:09
  SPEAKER_00: The night train train.
• 37:10
  SPEAKER_00: Night time train.
• 37:11
  SPEAKER_00: Down on the bottom of our hill.
• 37:13
  SPEAKER_00: There's a train that passes by.
• 37:15
  SPEAKER_00: Used to be like, oh, we would say, like, oh, it's the 907er.
• 37:19
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 37:19
  SPEAKER_00: And that some that doesn't always come at the same time anymore, but it's anywhere between like 8 and 9:30.
• 37:24
  SPEAKER_00: It passes through.
• 37:25
  SPEAKER_00: Like, yep, that's time to go to sleep.
• 37:27
  SPEAKER_01: There it is.
• 37:28
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 37:29
  SPEAKER_01: Walking your dog around the neighborhood off leash.
• 37:31
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 37:32
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 37:33
  SPEAKER_00: No matter what.
• 37:34
  SPEAKER_00: It's not necessarily if your dog is friendly or not, you don't know how a person might be that might run into that dog.
• 37:42
  SPEAKER_00: They might be afraid of dogs.
• 37:44
  SPEAKER_00: They might have had a bad experience with a dog.
• 37:46
  SPEAKER_00: You always got to assume the worst, then assume that your dog's going to be a saint.
• 37:51
  SPEAKER_01: And you cannot control an animal.
• 37:54
  SPEAKER_01: Like, I don't, we have friendly dogs, but like if an aggressive dog would come up to our dog, like there could be a fight or you could get snipped at.
• 38:01
  SPEAKER_01: Like we had that that one time we were walking where the dog, it was not the neighbor wasn't, it wasn't the neighbor's fault, but the dog escaped out of the garage while the garage door was closing.
• 38:10
  SPEAKER_01: And remember, it kind of came at us, and Benny was a baby.
• 38:13
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we had the kids in the stroller.
• 38:15
  SPEAKER_00: We had our chocolate lab, and our chocolate lab's the sweetest dog it can be.
• 38:18
  SPEAKER_00: It went after our dog.
• 38:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 38:21
  SPEAKER_00: But then it also jumped towards you and you were holding Benny.
• 38:24
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 38:24
  SPEAKER_00: Like, no, that can't be.
• 38:26
  SPEAKER_00: I'm I'm I I went full dad mode then.
• 38:29
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, I don't know.
• 38:29
  SPEAKER_01: Well you have to because like if the dog would like can it can seriously injure either another dog or a person.
• 38:37
  SPEAKER_01: Like I know that was a like one of those situations.
• 38:40
  SPEAKER_01: They didn't mean they didn't mean the dog to come out.
• 38:42
  SPEAKER_01: Like the dog literally escaped.
• 38:44
  SPEAKER_01: But like when people are at the park or people are in the neighborhood with their dog off leash, it's like you could think your dog is friendly, and then it's like a switch.
• 38:51
  SPEAKER_01: That dog could attack another dog.
• 38:53
  SPEAKER_01: Or animals, no matter what would happen.
• 38:55
  SPEAKER_00: No, yeah.
• 38:56
  SPEAKER_00: And that German Shepherd that was a German shepherd that went after it, those people that lived in that house moved like a month later.
• 39:05
  SPEAKER_00: Because we confronted them.
• 39:06
  SPEAKER_01: Pretending you just happen to be outside when you see the neighbors congregating in the street chatting together.
• 39:12
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm I am a sucker for this one.
• 39:16
  SPEAKER_01: This is an absolutely yes for you.
• 39:18
  SPEAKER_00: Again, peeking out of the window blinds, like, oh, everyone's out.
• 39:21
  SPEAKER_00: Like, let me go grab the mail real quick.
• 39:24
  SPEAKER_00: What type of thing?
• 39:24
  SPEAKER_00: I gotta grab something from my car.
• 39:27
  SPEAKER_01: That is you to a T.
• 39:28
  SPEAKER_01: I feel like we're both like that, but like I feel like you'll see people outside, and then you're like, I'm just gonna go check if the mail came yet.
• 39:34
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, like, did you get the mail yet?
• 39:36
  SPEAKER_00: And I just am already out.
• 39:37
  SPEAKER_00: And even though he got it, I already see it on the kitchen counter.
• 39:40
  SPEAKER_00: But our son does the same thing.
• 39:42
  SPEAKER_00: If he sees kids out there, he's like, We gotta go, gotta get my crocs on.
• 39:46
  SPEAKER_00: We gotta go.
• 39:47
  SPEAKER_00: They're all outside.
• 39:47
  SPEAKER_00: They're all there.
• 39:48
  SPEAKER_00: But our dogs do the same thing.
• 39:50
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 39:50
  SPEAKER_00: Where they'll see another dog out there.
• 39:52
  SPEAKER_00: Like our neighbor, again, shout out Steve.
• 39:54
  SPEAKER_00: He has a dog that is in an electrical fence, but he'll see that she's outside.
• 39:59
  SPEAKER_00: So then he wants to go next door.
• 40:00
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 40:01
  SPEAKER_00: So then I get him on a leash and I take him over.
• 40:04
  SPEAKER_01: Take him over.
• 40:04
  SPEAKER_01: Our next segment is Ask Us Anything.
• 40:06
  SPEAKER_01: We have received a lot of questions coming in from our followers on Instagram and on Facebook.
• 40:11
  SPEAKER_01: Some are personal, some are wedding related.
• 40:13
  SPEAKER_01: So today we're going to tackle two of each.
• 40:16
  unknown: Okay.
• 40:16
  SPEAKER_01: Cool.
• 40:16
  SPEAKER_01: For the personal.
• 40:17
  SPEAKER_01: What is your most irrational pet pee about each other?
• 40:21
  SPEAKER_01: I guess what is your most biggest pet peeve of each other?
• 40:24
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know why irrational.
• 40:25
  SPEAKER_01: It doesn't make any sense, but okay.
• 40:26
  SPEAKER_01: Like it's going to get tense in here.
• 40:28
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, I'm nervous.
• 40:30
  SPEAKER_00: I think this actually, when we were on a cruise, it was years ago, we got asked this question.
• 40:36
  SPEAKER_00: We like met a couple that were on the same cruise.
• 40:40
  SPEAKER_00: Like, if you get selected for it, we already know the questions in advance.
• 40:43
  SPEAKER_00: So they couldn't.
• 40:43
  SPEAKER_00: We cheated.
• 40:44
  SPEAKER_00: We cheated.
• 40:44
  SPEAKER_00: Don't tell Norwegian cruise lunch.
• 40:46
  SPEAKER_00: We did win, but the same question got asked, and we didn't, we went through it with each other to know what this answer was.
• 40:54
  SPEAKER_00: And then we didn't answer it correctly.
• 40:56
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it was it was not so newly win game.
• 40:58
  SPEAKER_00: Like wrote it on the board, and you put something, and I had to guess like, is this what she's most annoyed with me?
• 41:03
  SPEAKER_00: Or and vice versa.
• 41:04
  SPEAKER_00: We went 0 for 2 on this one.
• 41:06
  SPEAKER_00: I want to hear your take first because I think I know based off of what happened on that cruise.
• 41:11
  SPEAKER_01: I 100% always say the same thing, but it's finding your contacts like all over, dried up contacts.
• 41:18
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not talking like the contacts.
• 41:20
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, those are all over too, but like you wear, do you wear dailies?
• 41:23
  SPEAKER_01: Is that what I'm saying?
• 41:24
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm a daily contact.
• 41:25
  SPEAKER_00: Because my eyes used to get so I used to get itchy.
• 41:28
  SPEAKER_00: No, not itchy.
• 41:30
  SPEAKER_00: When I was in middle school and I switched from glasses to contacts, which I never wore transition lenses lenses, by the way.
• 41:36
  SPEAKER_00: That is a lie.
• 41:37
  SPEAKER_00: I swear I didn't.
• 41:38
  SPEAKER_00: You saw she saw a picture of me in glasses and they looked like transition lenses.
• 41:43
  SPEAKER_00: It had to be the camera because I never did.
• 41:45
  SPEAKER_00: Anywho, I went from weekly or I was in weekly contacts, and I would get called like a pot smoker in like seventh grade.
• 41:53
  SPEAKER_00: And I was very anti-that in seventh grade for sure.
• 41:57
  SPEAKER_00: Student of the year.
• 41:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I was dear dare student of the year.
• 42:00
  SPEAKER_01: Dare student of the year.
• 42:02
  SPEAKER_00: I don't even know what it stands for.
• 42:03
  SPEAKER_00: So then I switched to dailies, and I am a culprit.
• 42:07
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 42:07
  SPEAKER_01: It's like I'll be in the bathroom, they're like on the counter in our room, like on your shelf.
• 42:14
  SPEAKER_01: And it's like, it's not one, it's like 30.
• 42:17
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 42:17
  SPEAKER_00: Well, it's right before like I'm like, oh right before I lay down for bed.
• 42:20
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, oh, I still got my contacts in.
• 42:22
  SPEAKER_00: So I just take them out and then I put them on there.
• 42:24
  SPEAKER_00: Some of them end up falling on the ground.
• 42:27
  SPEAKER_00: And then when I run the vacuum, it's like and I got a close second.
• 42:32
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, you got two.
• 42:33
  SPEAKER_01: It's like it's very similar, but instead of contacts, it's dried up zins in the side of my car.
• 42:43
  SPEAKER_01: Like I know when you've been riding in the passenger seat a lot because of the zins I've like piled up on the car door.
• 42:50
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it happens even in my own.
• 42:51
  SPEAKER_00: Like I will I will specifically drink an energy drink or Gatorade or whatever.
• 42:57
  SPEAKER_00: And once I finish it, I'll put it to like the bottom left.
• 42:59
  SPEAKER_00: And then that's now a trash can for my zins.
• 43:02
  SPEAKER_01: No free ads.
• 43:03
  SPEAKER_01: No free ad zins.

  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but it's hard, it's hard now with kids because they want to play.
• 46:26
  SPEAKER_01: The pieces are small.
• 46:27
  SPEAKER_01: You can't pay attention.
• 46:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 46:28
  SPEAKER_00: Like you're not really, you're not gonna win a game with kids when you're playing like a game night with friends.
• 46:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 46:33
  SPEAKER_01: I really do want to get back into tap dancing.
• 46:36
  SPEAKER_01: Like it was it's on my bucket list for 2026.
• 46:38
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just gonna never tap dance in my life.
• 46:40
  SPEAKER_01: I want to get back into that.
• 46:41
  SPEAKER_00: But I'm in my mid-30s.
• 46:43
  SPEAKER_00: I still like to video game.
• 46:45
  SPEAKER_00: I still like to kind of that's how you stay close with some friends that are still in that same sequence of things.
• 46:51
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not like an avid video gamer of like playing these like like there's a new game that comes out and everyone gets into it.
• 46:58
  SPEAKER_00: Like I stick to my same games.
• 47:00
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, your same few.
• 47:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 47:02
  SPEAKER_00: Like I don't go beyond.
• 47:03
  SPEAKER_00: I like I like a uh Madden or college football 34, and I'll play some Fortnite still.
• 47:09
  SPEAKER_00: Now my son likes to play it.
• 47:10
  SPEAKER_00: Like, okay.
• 47:10
  SPEAKER_00: There's a lot of fun.
• 47:12
  SPEAKER_00: But there's it happens once every about two years, maybe one year.
• 47:17
  SPEAKER_00: We get back into like Mario games.
• 47:20
  SPEAKER_00: If I play any story-based game, it's Mario.
• 47:23
  SPEAKER_00: That's about it.
• 47:23
  SPEAKER_00: And I'll play it again.
• 47:24
  SPEAKER_00: Like Mario Sunshine, by far the best video game of my lifetime.
• 47:28
  SPEAKER_01: I liked Mario Party.
• 47:29
  SPEAKER_01: I still like Mario Party, but like I don't want to play the 50 rounds.
• 47:33
  SPEAKER_00: See, I like Mario.
• 47:34
  SPEAKER_01: Like 20 rounds.
• 47:35
  SPEAKER_00: Well, we never really do 50 rounds.
• 47:37
  SPEAKER_00: You like 15, and I like 20.
• 47:39
  SPEAKER_01: Like that just gets too long for that.
• 47:40
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but if you do 15, you're not really getting the full experience.
• 47:44
  SPEAKER_00: 20 is like the perfect amount of rounds that you do in a video game for Mario Party.
• 47:49
  SPEAKER_00: Fair.
• 47:49
  SPEAKER_00: Shout out best Mario Party map is the hotel one.
• 47:54
  SPEAKER_00: It's like maybe Mario Party 7 or 8.
• 47:56
  SPEAKER_00: I like the mall one.
• 47:57
  SPEAKER_00: The mall one's pretty good on the new one.
• 47:58
  SPEAKER_00: We we haven't played this in a while.
• 48:00
  SPEAKER_00: We might have to give it a shot.
• 48:02
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 48:02
  SPEAKER_00: So the uh wedding-based ones for you.
• 48:05
  SPEAKER_00: I'm a again professional wedding guest, so I won't really know my insight as well.
• 48:09
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm gonna ask you.
• 48:10
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 48:11
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know, understand what and when I should be feeding my vendors.
• 48:15
  SPEAKER_00: I had no idea about this until my caterer put it on the bill.
• 48:19
  SPEAKER_01: I feel like a lot of people don't know that you're supposed to feed your wedding vendors, and it is like a surprise charge because you're serving them food, you're gonna be charged for it.
• 48:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but how many more mouths is that?
• 48:32
  SPEAKER_01: So usually I would say on average for a wedding, maybe four to six vendors you're gonna be feeding.
• 48:38
  SPEAKER_01: You want to feed them a hot meal.
• 48:41
  SPEAKER_01: Hot and substantial are like the two things I say.
• 48:43
  SPEAKER_01: Like you don't want to be like, here's a peanut butter jelly sandwich.
• 48:46
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe you order them a pizza, something like that.
• 48:48
  SPEAKER_01: But like most of the time in the contract, it's gonna say something like, I require a 30-minute break and a hot meal, and you'll feed them similar to what you're eating, or you'll feed them exactly what your guests are eating.
• 48:59
  SPEAKER_01: Most of the time it's at a cheaper cost because they're not like sitting in the room like getting, you know, full service three-course meal or something like that.
• 49:06
  SPEAKER_01: Sometimes they'll walk through the buffet, but you do need to feed them.
• 49:10
  SPEAKER_01: And if you don't feed them, like that's a breach of contract.
• 49:12
  SPEAKER_01: Technically, they could walk out, and there's like horror stories of that happening.
• 49:15
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's not good.
• 49:16
  SPEAKER_01: I would never do that.
• 49:17
  SPEAKER_01: But like you do want to be fed.
• 49:19
  SPEAKER_01: They're there working like super long a super long day, and it's not like a normal office where you can like have a fridge and go in the break room like you need to eat.
• 49:27
  SPEAKER_01: And what was the other part?
• 49:28
  SPEAKER_01: Where?
• 49:30
  SPEAKER_00: I always say what and when.
• 49:31
  SPEAKER_01: What and when.
• 49:32
  SPEAKER_01: So when I would say feed them when the couple's eating at the same time, because when the couple's eating, a lot of them.
• 49:40
  SPEAKER_01: No formalities, and preferably, I think a lot of people want to sit in like a back room away from the guests.
• 49:45
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you don't want to.
• 49:46
  SPEAKER_00: And there's probably somewhere where like the catering is prepping and such.
• 49:51
  SPEAKER_00: So set up a couple tables back there for them.
• 49:54
  SPEAKER_00: And if you don't feed them, I do think it's a little rude as the like vendor to just like upright and leave.
• 49:59
  SPEAKER_00: Because then it just looks bad if they're not eating.
• 50:03
  SPEAKER_00: Like if I were a vendor and I didn't get fed, I'd want to eat something substantial.
• 50:08
  SPEAKER_00: So then I'm like, I might order DoorDash and Grubhub, and then that looks bad.
• 50:11
  SPEAKER_00: So yeah.
• 50:12
  SPEAKER_01: Or like some contracts even will say something like, If you don't choose to feed us, then we are able to leave for 30 minutes.
• 50:19
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 50:19
  SPEAKER_01: And like you would rather have them on site because say something pops up and they want to capture that moment, they might hear it if they're like not in the room or if they're in the room in the corner, they can like still get up and like capture that moment.
• 50:29
  SPEAKER_01: But if they leave, they leave.
• 50:31
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 50:31
  SPEAKER_00: Uh other one.
• 50:33
  SPEAKER_00: I am toying around with my bar.
• 50:35
  SPEAKER_00: I don't want a cash bar, but I can't afford a full bar.
• 50:39
  SPEAKER_00: What do you suggest?
• 50:41
  unknown: A cash bar.
• 50:42
  SPEAKER_01: Cash bar.
• 50:43
  SPEAKER_01: Just kidding.
• 50:44
  SPEAKER_01: I don't suggest a cash bar if you can avoid it.
• 50:46
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I talk about this a lot on my social pages that I think as the host you should be doing a hosted bar.
• 50:53
  SPEAKER_01: So your guests shouldn't be paying for drinks.
• 50:56
  SPEAKER_01: But whatever you're hosting can be anything in between.
• 50:59
  SPEAKER_01: So sometimes it's like beer and wine and non-alcoholic drinks, or sometimes it's you have a vodka, a tequila, and a whiskey, and beer and wine and non-alcoholic drinks.
• 51:10
  SPEAKER_01: Whatever it is, you can be a little flexible.
• 51:13
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe you do signature cocktails, but I do think you should try to figure out how to host your bar in some sort of sense, or if it's going to switch to a cash bar and that's what you have to lean into, then you need to let your guests know ahead of time.
• 51:25
  SPEAKER_01: Some cash bars literally only take cash, which is crazy to me.
• 51:29
  SPEAKER_01: But if it's like a company that's coming in, they might not have the capability to do card.
• 51:35
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and I think it's just good to let your guests know ahead of time.
• 51:38
  SPEAKER_01: But you don't have to offer every liquor under the sun.
• 51:41
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 51:41
  SPEAKER_00: As a professional wedding guest, I do not anticipate to order like high-end alcohol.
• 51:46
  SPEAKER_00: Usually I'm getting whatever signature cocktail just to try it out, whether it's a his or hers or it's like a dog featured.
• 51:53
  SPEAKER_00: A lot of people do that now.
• 51:54
  SPEAKER_00: But I'm getting whatever the domestic beer is, or I'm just going to like a go-to of a whiskey, well, no matter what brand it is, or vodka, whatever brand they have, staying away from tequila, because that gets me going.
• 52:09
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I just feel like there's people that are just so rude and they're like, it's mandatory.
• 52:13
  SPEAKER_01: You need to have a full open bar.
• 52:14
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm like, says who?
• 52:16
  unknown: Yeah.
• 52:16
  SPEAKER_00: Like just be happy with what's being served.
• 52:18
  SPEAKER_00: Like this isn't a restaurant.
• 52:19
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 52:20
  SPEAKER_00: You don't need all the fixings.
• 52:21
  SPEAKER_01: If you don't like what's being served on the bar, maybe it's not your level of bar that you would prefer.
• 52:26
  SPEAKER_01: Then like have a non-alcoholic drink, have a coke, have a dye coke.
• 52:30
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 52:30
  SPEAKER_00: A lot of the stuff with our trailer, I feel like we don't get these absurd amounts of options.
• 52:38
  SPEAKER_00: Five options is about it.
• 52:39
  SPEAKER_00: And like we have enough to make various drinks from those beverages.
• 52:44
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 52:44
  SPEAKER_00: But not anything that's like crazy.
• 52:47
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 52:48
  SPEAKER_01: So my advice would just be play around with the different options.
• 52:51
  SPEAKER_01: It doesn't have to be a full open bar, but cover the costs of the bar, whatever, whatever you decide upon.
• 52:57
  SPEAKER_00: It's very, I'm a millennial, but most of the people that get stingy about needing a particular drink, I'm sorry.
• 53:02
  SPEAKER_00: Shout out boomers, but it's you.
• 53:04
  SPEAKER_00: It's the boomers, 100%.
• 53:06
  SPEAKER_00: I get mad about everything.
• 53:08
  SPEAKER_00: So okay.
• 53:11

  SPEAKER_00: But here's where it gets even better.
• 53:32
  SPEAKER_00: You can keep it super light and just play for bragging rights, or if your crowd is a little competitive, you can actually have guests make a real bet with real money.

  SPEAKER_00: This one, VIP table.
• 54:17
  SPEAKER_00: This is neighborhood stereotypes.
• 54:20
  SPEAKER_00: There's like very generic ones again.
• 54:23
  SPEAKER_01: Mine are pretty generic.
• 54:24
  SPEAKER_01: Like some of them are specific, but most of them are like.
• 54:26
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I tried to get a stry away from it.
• 54:28
  SPEAKER_00: I'll let you kick off.
• 54:30
  SPEAKER_00: I this hair is a little bit more.

• 54:33
  SPEAKER_01: It's crazy.
• 54:34
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 54:35
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going first.
• 54:36
  SPEAKER_01: The neighbor that stops every car to chat about nothing.
• 54:40
  SPEAKER_01: Like they were walking down the street.
• 54:42
  SPEAKER_01: Then you have to roll down your window and talk to them.
• 54:45
  SPEAKER_01: And like they're blocking up the street, but they do it to every person that's coming up and down.
• 54:50
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 54:51
  SPEAKER_00: One one?
• 54:52
  SPEAKER_00: You went with that?
• 54:52
  SPEAKER_00: One one?
• 54:53
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 54:54
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 54:55
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe mine are bad.
• 54:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 54:56
  SPEAKER_00: It was like I can I see it as like it.
• 54:59
  SPEAKER_00: We have it's never bad the small talk, right?
• 55:02
  SPEAKER_01: Not every car.
• 55:03
  SPEAKER_01: Not every single car.
• 55:04
  SPEAKER_01: I don't want to talk to the neighbors all the time.
• 55:06
  SPEAKER_00: The only time I actually stop for a neighbor is if it's like few of them.
• 55:12
  SPEAKER_00: But most of the time it's like a quick wave, a quick go.
• 55:14
  SPEAKER_00: When you start going on and on a conversation, you're just kind of like talking to talk at that point.
• 55:19
  SPEAKER_00: Like, all right, wrap this up.
• 55:21
  SPEAKER_01: That's what I'm saying.
• 55:22
  SPEAKER_00: I'm praying for a car to come behind me.
• 55:24
  SPEAKER_00: Get me out of this situation.
• 55:25
  SPEAKER_00: Hurry it up.
• 55:25
  SPEAKER_00: Like, all right, I gotta go.
• 55:26
  SPEAKER_00: I'll see you later.
• 55:27
  SPEAKER_00: My first pick is going to be the neighbor that has fireworks for any occasion.
• 55:33
  SPEAKER_00: Like 4th of July, I get uh like most of the time it's like an American holiday, but the the Steelers just want a football game and there's fireworks going off, or it's Thanksgiving and there's fireworks going off.
• 55:46
  SPEAKER_00: Like, you don't have to have fireworks.
• 55:48
  SPEAKER_01: That is a good one.
• 55:49
  SPEAKER_01: Everything we did like I was gonna say, probably at Mia's party, they were like we had my niece's party.
• 55:54
  SPEAKER_00: We she's in the military, she's in the navy, and she hasn't been around for the holidays this past year or this upcoming year.
• 56:02
  SPEAKER_00: So we did an all-holiday party for her where we did fireworks, but I know the community forum in my parents' hometown, my hometown.
• 56:12
  SPEAKER_00: Probably so someone had to say something about it because you hear fireworks, and I get the people that get mad about it when it comes to dogs because dogs are fearful of it.
• 56:22
  SPEAKER_00: And there's people maybe with PTSD that again, I understand it, but to do it for any occasion, it's not necessary.
• 56:31
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not like a like I don't mind fireworks, but I don't really like the pirates have the a fireworks after a game.
• 56:39
  SPEAKER_00: I don't need to go to a game to watch fireworks, like they don't really do it for me.
• 56:43
  SPEAKER_00: Some people, that's some people's MO.
• 56:45
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 56:45
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, my second pick is the neighbor that makes their launch corps to showcase their political beliefs.
• 56:52
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, this isn't necessarily just like putting on during an election year or just like a local district representative.
• 57:01
  SPEAKER_00: It's the signs, or I see people with certain like figurines of a president that they post about.
• 57:10
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, all right, you're making this your entire personality there.
• 57:13
  SPEAKER_01: The worst.
• 57:14
  SPEAKER_00: Like they make their own little makeshift like wood signs that spells out their last name, and you're like, okay.
• 57:22
  SPEAKER_01: I do know exactly what house you're talking about.
• 57:24
  SPEAKER_01: It's not in our neighborhood, but we I pass it and there's like a statue of a president.
• 57:29
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not gonna say which one.
• 57:30
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 57:30
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm like, why?
• 57:31
  SPEAKER_00: They have the flag, they have the statue, they have a makeshift thing.
• 57:35
  SPEAKER_00: There's someone in our neighborhood that has lights that are against their tree that's just that.
• 57:42
  SPEAKER_00: And they also have that same person that's in their window.
• 57:46
  SPEAKER_01: I know.
• 57:46
  SPEAKER_00: Like, I'm like, all right.
• 57:47
  SPEAKER_00: If you make your, yeah, you make your political beliefs your personality, you're not.
• 57:53
  SPEAKER_01: Those were both really good.
• 57:54
  SPEAKER_01: Way better than any of the ones I think I have on my list, but I will go through mine.
• 57:58
  SPEAKER_01: Um, the neighbors who leave their dogs out in the yard all day and they don't shut up and they bark at everything that passes.
• 58:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 58:07
  SPEAKER_00: First and foremost, leaving your dog out just for a long time.
• 58:11
  SPEAKER_00: I get it.
• 58:12
  SPEAKER_00: Dogs are meant to be outside.
• 58:13
  SPEAKER_00: That's what they're like, they should be, but to never really like care for them and then just having them yap.
• 58:19
  SPEAKER_01: Or if you have super yappy dogs, like put them in.
• 58:23
  SPEAKER_01: We all don't want to hear them.
• 58:24
  SPEAKER_01: Put them in.
• 58:25
  SPEAKER_01: We all don't want to hear them.
• 58:26
  SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
• 58:26
  SPEAKER_00: They're there are two in particular dogs of the same breed that are about five houses down from our street that I know someone is walking whenever they're passing.
• 58:36
  SPEAKER_00: Very loud.
• 58:37
  SPEAKER_01: They didn't inspire that.
• 58:38
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe they did.
• 58:41
  SPEAKER_01: The next one I'm calling the ghost neighbor.
• 58:43
  SPEAKER_01: Literally never seen them.
• 58:44
  SPEAKER_01: I don't even know if they're alive.
• 58:46
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my god.
• 58:46
  unknown: Yes.
• 58:47
  SPEAKER_01: We have a few of those.
• 58:49
  SPEAKER_01: One of my picks are the are they alive neighbor.
• 58:52
  SPEAKER_01: It's like, you know, they're there.
• 58:54
  SPEAKER_01: You've seen them maybe once or twice a year.
• 58:56
  SPEAKER_01: But like, I couldn't tell you.
• 58:58
  SPEAKER_01: If I saw them out at a store, I couldn't tell you who they were.
• 59:01
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 59:01
  SPEAKER_01: You know someone's living in the house because you see a light go on like every month or so.
• 59:05
  SPEAKER_00: The garage door goes open, and there's a cat in like one of the windowsills.
• 59:08
  SPEAKER_00: Like, someone's in there.
• 59:09
  SPEAKER_01: But like everybody else on the street social, and then there's just somebody that you don't know who they are.
• 59:14
  SPEAKER_01: Ghost neighbor.
• 59:15
  SPEAKER_00: Next pick is the neighbor that receives at least one package a day.
• 59:20
  SPEAKER_01: I think that's us.
• 59:21
  SPEAKER_00: That might be like an Amazon FedEx UPS is pulling up all the time.
• 59:26
  SPEAKER_00: Their groceries are getting delivered.
• 59:28
  SPEAKER_00: Are you describing me?
• 59:30
  SPEAKER_00: It might be us.
• 59:31
  SPEAKER_00: There's also like it's not just us.
• 59:33
  SPEAKER_00: There's other people that do it too.
• 59:34
  SPEAKER_00: But I'm high on the list.
• 59:36
  SPEAKER_00: Always getting stuff.
• 59:37
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, man, we're definitely that neighbor in our neighborhood.

  SPEAKER_01: Ordering stuff for vacation.
• 59:46
  SPEAKER_01: I'll get it from Amazon.
• 59:47
  SPEAKER_01: It's just like easier than that.
• 59:48
  SPEAKER_00: It's not that we're getting everything grocery delivered.
• 59:52
  SPEAKER_00: It's like the essential stuff that you don't have to go and like, I need to get lunch meat.
• 59:57
  SPEAKER_00: I don't want someone picking out lunch meat for me.
• 1:00:00
  SPEAKER_00: Even like when it comes to like chicken meat and beef or like whatever our protein is, I prefer to do it because they sometimes like don't get exactly what we want, or they get an absurd amount.
• 1:00:12
  SPEAKER_00: Like, we can't be, we don't, I'm not gonna eat all of this.
• 1:00:14
  SPEAKER_00: We're gonna have it go to waste.
• 1:00:16
  SPEAKER_01: Dang, that was a good one.
• 1:00:17
  SPEAKER_00: This one also might be us.
• 1:00:20
  SPEAKER_00: It is the cookout DJ.
• 1:00:22
  SPEAKER_00: So it's the neighbor that is is grilling in the back or wherever their house is.
• 1:00:27
  SPEAKER_00: For us, it's in the back, and they're playing on their speakers at a high volume.
