Like writing in our diaries, except we stay up aloud.
We call them blogs. Calin's got one.
Speaker 2 (00:04):

Speaker 3 (00:06):
So my best friend has found herself in kind of
a messed up situation.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So she lives in.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Austin, Texas, and she's kind of moved. She's from Michigan,
but she's throughout since we graduated, she's moved all over.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
She's lived in Seattle, she's lived in.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Chicago, she did Austin, she went back to Austin anyway,
so she kind of feels like she hasn't been settled
in a long time. And that's, you know, because of
her job, her fiance's job.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
You know, they've just been moving for work.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
So they finally went back to Austin, where they want
to be, and they were subleasing a friend of ours
place and she's like, I just need a home base.
I just want to be somewhere for a long period
of time. So they find this house near downtown Austin.
Things are walkable, it's a good price, and they didn't
buy it, but they locked in for I believe at
(00:54):
least two years to rent this place.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
So we are loving it.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
She's like, I'm going to get new furniture, finally have
a spot, they got a dog, and she loves the house,
but started to notice that every weekend it was really
noisy in her backyard and in Austin sometimes they do
something where because it's you know, growing so fast and
used to live there, Fred, but it's it's changed so
much much since then. They will have two houses on
(01:20):
a lot and it's not uncommon, so you know, it's
a smaller lot, but they're two separate houses.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
And so that's what they found.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I'm sure if I miss they renting this ord.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
They buy this renting, but they're locked in for a
few years, okay, because it was so great. So they
kept noticing these like frat guys in their backyard, shirtless,
smoking s eggs, playing beer pong, loud music, whatever, and they're.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Like, great, I moved in next to a Fred house.
Literally great.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
They're like great, and you know, we're still in our
young thirties, so we're still fun, but we got jobs
and we need our sleep. So your fiance's like, you
know what, let me try to make friends with them,
so then maybe if things are too.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Loud, we can like we could be cool. Whatever. So
he goes over there, tries to get his best friend
on is like, hey, bro, you know, what's up are
you doing?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
I live just now. We're those thirty somethings or forty somethings,
you know, so like we're trying to relate to the kids,
you know what I mean. But like we're in the
We're in there, like get off my lawn and phase.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Yeah, we're getting there. He's like, how do you do?
Fellow use, Like you know what I mean. He's like
trying to reprise his.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
No Carol, no cat, no cat.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
I'm trying to talk to the gens. And he's like,
you know, I live next door. You know what's going
on here? Do do you live in this house?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Whatever? And he's like, oh no, I'm just here for
my best bros.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
FRep uh bacheloret jesus my best bros bachelor weekend right right,
So he's like, oh, okay, well, you know, did someone
write you this house or whatever? He's like, no, this
is an airbnb.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
No, so that means every single weekend or week or whatever,
like it's a revolving door of folks. It's basically living
up next to a hotel.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Room, right, and like sometimes they peep they will go
on a Wednesday or on a Thursday, extend the old weekend.
I mean, bachelor weekends are so we can forget that
we're adults and really just party the entire way through,
especially bachelure parties.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
So every weekend it's it's that one time in life
where everybody you know gets there, freak them out and
goes crazy. And that's so and it's a unique group
of people every weekend, so you get to rehatch this
every week Oh, I'd be.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
So pissed every weekend. It was not disclosed to them.
And my friend is like, listen, like I like to
have a good time, but when you're waking up, the
base is on, you know, and you worked hard all week.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Some nights you want to just like have a chill
night or not. Here Bro's yelling.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
So yet it was never disclosed to them, and I
don't know what the laws are in Texas, but she's
trying to figure out what to do because I don't
think that they can do that, especially with the dog.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
You know, that would drive me crazy because you figure, Okay,
if it's a bunch of like young people living there,
like really young people college, whatever, you can make maybe
you could kind of buy them off, like develop a
relationship with them, maybe buy them some beer, maybe be like, hey,
you know, can we tone it down a little bit,
you know, like establish her apport? But you can't do
that when every weekend it's a different.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Group of people Chad and his boys, you know, his
one last single life. So I don't know what they're
going to do, but they are pissed and that's why
the price.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Was so good.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yeah, that's why they lock them in for a couple
of years. Like, yeah, now they're stuck.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
I think about that sometimes, like I wish that it
was I wish that it were something you could write
into a real estate contract where I guess you could
where I can put the previous owner under like a
lie detective test, Like I can give you a polygraph
and ask why are you moving? Now? You moving because
the neighbors suck? Are you moving because this house has
mold or you're not disclosing that. Are you moving because
(04:33):
what is there a dead body in the foundation? Like
why are you leaving? Because you don't know these things?
Like you go to a neighborhood and you look at
a house and you're like, this is a beautiful house.
I'd like to buy it, but you don't know. Maybe
there's a serial killer to the left of you or
something that you can't look up, you know, like you can't.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Discover this, and we don't report the serial killer. We
just let them live right right.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
And I realized there's certain things you have to disclose
or you would get like an inspecter to come so
that thing, you know, defects in the house or whatever.
But I'm talking about the the person who lives next
door is the worst human being of all time, to
the point where you are like, I can't live here anymore.
I'm selling this house and making it someone else's problem.
But you don't know that when you're moving in, and
you have no way of knowing that. And it amurs me.
There's some day that I would move into a neighborhood
(05:13):
and buy a house and be like, oh my god,
like these people are terrible, no wonder they move.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Inspector should step it up and add that pricing to.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
The psychological analysis of the whole block. The whole block.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
To talk to everybody, their relatives, everybody, like do it
look in the foundation of the house, like, hey, I'm.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Dan the home inspector. Did anyone hurt you growing up?
You know? Like, are you in therapy? Right? Right? Right?
Are you a sociopath? Like? Do you respect others? Do
you care about boundaries? Do you you oh you do
new business plan? Yeah? Yes, I mean this is this
is the risk that you run. I guess it's a
nightmare because I know, like in some buildings, like big buildings,
(05:54):
you either can't airbnb it or there's a cap. The
same with rentals, you know, so that you don't wind
up buying in a building and then the whole place
is rental and and you're dealing with this because that's
the other thing, like if someone could rent per the
month or whatever, and I live here, that means it's
a constant sort of carousel of like who you know,
what's next, who's coming next to you? No, I wouldn't
(06:18):
like that at all. Yeah I don't. I don't. So
what are they gonna do? I guess they're stuck now.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Yeah, I mean they're figuring out the laws and maybe
if they can get out of it, because I don't
think she's gonna last the full few years.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
She's already losing it.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
That will not be good.
