  Speaker 1: Joh Jade Rich Stephanie, good morning. What's up?
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Good morning? I just wanted to call with my horrible
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: neighbors story.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, what is it?
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: So?
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Our neighbors used to be good friends with us. We
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: sent Christmases together, birthdays together, and then they decided that
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: they didn't want to be friends with us anymore because
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: they didn't like the way that my husband acted, because
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: he doesn't let people like brag about stuff that they're
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: not good at.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: If I'm friends with your husband and I go, man,
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: I just can't get this juggling thing down. I just
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: can't juggle. Oh, you're not good at that.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: We're no longer.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: So if you were saying I'm the best juggler around,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: nobody's as good as me. Everybody else should be good
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: like I'm good when you don't know how to juggle,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: That's what he was like. Okay, man, you should be
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: saying that, like, why didn't you try a little bit harder,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: take some lessons, do what you need to do, and
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: then we'll go from there.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: You know what, does juggling braggers are really a lot
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: to do.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: If I'm understanding, it's the other way around.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: He gets mad if you say you can't do something
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: if you can, if you can't.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Putting other people down. So my husband was like, well,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: that's not really necessary. You're not the best like you
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: can be if you try.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: But you know, okay, okay, so gone. So he doesn't
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: want to be fair. What did your neighbor do to
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: make him? What was he saying he was the best
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: at I'm the best neighbor ever.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: No, I don't want to get too far into all
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: of that. Okay, So we decide we're not gonna friends anymore.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: No big deal.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Everybody was fine. So but then one day we had
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: a house fire. Our garage caught on fire. Thankfully, my
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: husband got to put out right as the fire department
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: showed up, but they realized that the garage was on
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: fire while my kids were in a shower. So he
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: yells to the kids get out of the house. So
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: my kids get out of the shower, throw towels on,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: and run out front. So my kids are seven and nine.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: They're standing out front, wet and towels and it's cold.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: It's like the end of October, and all the neighbors
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: come and everybody's like, oh my gosh, what can we
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: help with what can we do? And that's why we
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: still live there, because we love all our other neighbors,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: the ones we used to be friends with. They come out,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: look at us, is like, what's going on and then
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: sees that it's us, turns around, goes back inside, and
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: then like ten minutes later they leave, and we've through
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: all of the fire department vehicles and everything just looks
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: like nothing to say, not like a hey, are you
• 2:26
