Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
From the city that changes the world.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Peers Rose with three things you need to.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
Know for your Tuesday.

Speaker 3 (00:07):
Rose gapras So, the DC man accused of doing donuts
and driving recklessly on the National Mall on Saturday, told
police it was quote.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Just a joke. Sure, absolutely sure.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
So he's facing charges of playing law enforcement and reckless
driving with there's videos of the incident that showed this
guy zigzagging around the grass on the National Mall.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Dodging visitors.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
I don't see how that's just a joke. Luckily no
one was injured. Court documents say that this guy was
not under the influence of alcohol or drugs. But like
I said, he has been charged and he scheduled back
in court on Thursday. So visitors hoping to see the
DC area from a top of the Washington Monument not
gonna get a chance this week. The National Park Service

(00:50):
closed the monument yesterday due to high temperatures in the
DC region. The building will remain closed today, and visitors
have been told to check the monument's website for possible
closures later this week because it.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Is so hot.

Speaker 4 (01:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
Yeah, Honestly, I don't think I would want to be
in a building like that with NOC climbing stairs up.
But that's just me and the Montgomery County Animal Shelters
asking for help after losing its air conditioning. The Animal
Service and Adoptions that are posted on social media yesterday
saying that they are urgently seeking short term foster homes
for dogs and cats because the rising temperatures inside it's

(01:25):
near capacity facility, by the way, pose a risk to
the animals, obviously because it's it's just so hot hour yea.
So repairs are underway for the air conditioning from my
understanding of the mechanical issue.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
But if you are interested in.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Adopting or fostering, I'm going to get this information up
for you. They do say if you're going to foster,
they provide all veterinary care.

Speaker 4 (01:48):
It can be just a few days, even a weekend.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Foster makes a huge difference.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
I'm Rose.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
Those are the three things you need to.

Speaker 4 (01:54):
Know for the day.

Speaker 5 (01:55):
Thank you, Rose, You're welcome. Real quick to look up
seven Pines man. And there's a reason why there's this
mansion in Massachusetts, not far outside of Boston, and it
is a gorgeous estate. Right now, there's a forclosure auction
where the person who wins.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
It spent seventy five thousand dollars. I mean, I'm gonna
be honest. It's massive.

Speaker 5 (02:20):
So according to the auctioneer, it looks like the White
House of the North Shore, which it does. It's the
fifteen thousand square foot Neo Georgian mansion boasting more nine
bedrooms ten bathrooms. Will be available for an on site
for closer auction June twenty fifth. It's comprised of two
parcels over thirty acres. Now you're wondering, though, seventy five

(02:42):
grand for all this certainly is going to be a catch.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:46):
The property was the home of longtime construction titan who
died in twenty fifteen. He filled the grand estate with
sunny antiques from his collection, gave rowing landscapes. That also
has greenhouses, YadA YadA. In addition, so there's two greenhouses
and several other structures in the property, including a three
car hash garage, a detached car garage, also an indoor

(03:06):
pool and outdoor pool.

Speaker 4 (03:08):
Nice.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Now, where's the catch?

Speaker 5 (03:12):
So, according to the reelder, if you're the lucky high bidder,
then you close them thirty days. It's up to the
high bidder to gain access to the property.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
How do you gain access to it.

Speaker 5 (03:23):
There's no switch, there's no handover of keys because we
don't have any access to the inside.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Oh my god.

Speaker 5 (03:31):
The realtor noted they believe the property is occupied batters, Yeah,
because they were What they were saying was, I guess
in this neighborhood, the house is well known, just like
any neighbor that has like a house, nobody knows the
real story about it.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (03:45):
So they're saying, if you're trying to come just see
the inside, you can't, yeh, because we have no way
to get inside the house.

Speaker 4 (03:51):
So like the bank can't send cops there to get.

Speaker 5 (03:55):
I'm gonna be honest, I don't understand squatters rights. I
don't you hear the stories all the time where like
the owner can't do anything. I don't understand how that's legally.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
I don't know why, like someone that owns a property
isn't protected and a stranger in your own home, right,
And I don't understand.

Speaker 5 (04:10):
Maybe there is a logical reason. We just don't know
nothing I can think of. Yeah, but it is crazy.
They're saying the property will probably go for around four million. Yeah,
I mean.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yeah, but do you want to have. It's a big house.

Speaker 5 (04:21):
Yeah, to have somebody inside and not knowing what they're doing,
what they're doing to the house where they're hiding.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
I would just need to understand why the bank can't
send someone there to see if it's occupied, Like, why
would you not know?

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah, if they to find out they believe it's occupy.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah, they don't even have any idea. That's why I
don't understand.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
Well, like you can't even get an inspection before you
purchase this house. Do you just have to buy it
and help and pray that it's not falling apart on
the inside.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
But I think what's foreclosures.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
That's usually how it is, right, Yeah, I think just
sad buy and you hope for the best.

Speaker 5 (04:51):
I mean it is, I mean thirty acres is huge. Yeah,
so if you have if money's on an issue, tear
the thing down and build up again.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
It's just crazy that. Yeah, we have no way to
get inside. That's a you thing.

Speaker 5 (05:02):
So yeah, and this isn't like when I moved in
my first apartment out here, I didn't see the inside
of it. It's even different than buying a house, you know,
buying a mansion with ten bathroom, design, bedrooms and all
that good stuff. By indoor they believe, indoor outdoor pool believe. Yeah,
it's fine. Everything's fine, indoor outdoor pool. If you want
