Speaker 1 (00:00):
From the city that changes the world. Peers Rose with
three things you need to know for your Tuesday. Rose.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Well, there was a fire engine that costs more than
half a million dollars that is now likely ruined because
of flood water from over the weekend, and the firefighter
who drove it is under investigation. So Montgomery County Fire
and Rescue, you say, the firefighters on the engine were
trying to rescue people from a partially submerged car, which
we talked about yesterday. Everyone is safely removed from the car,
(00:31):
but the fire engine stalled in the high water and
required a tow. There's a video of this, and I'm like,
whoa what, Like I said yesterday, Please don't drive in
two flooded areas because you don't know how deep that
actually is. The firefighter will not be allowed to drive
any other vehicles until the investigation is complete. So drivers
are breathing a little bit of a sigh of relief
(00:52):
after a proposal for a massive toll hike on the
Dullus Greenway was shot down. The Supreme Court of Virginia
last week unanimously upheld a previous rejected a rejection by
the state Corporation commission of a forty percent increase that
was proposed by the Greenways private operator.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
So who les.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Why forty percent?
Speaker 3 (01:12):
That's Virginia like their they're tolls, I will say, are
like actually insane and I alread knew that before I
moved there, but I'm like, this is crazy.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Yeah, so it's just so crazy.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Both panels agreed the proposal would have been too much
of a burden on the public, since they would have
cost daily commuters at least an extra thousand dollars. I
gear insane. That is insane, crazy, And break out your
scarves early because Starbucks.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Is bringing back their pumpkins vice Ltte. That's good month earlier.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
So they're bringing it August twenty sixth, thank goodness, marking
the unofficial kickoff to Fall, which you know, I do
love my pumpkin cream cold foam.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
It's just it just hits different. I don't know. So
just want to let you know that they are bringing
back a little early. I'm rose.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Those are the three things you sho know for the day.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Heroes. You're welcome. How do youd you mind coming here
for a second? Two forever reason this show has like
the worst luck with apartments we.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Just like I thought you were going to say something else.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I know, I mean sausage troubles with every apartment she's
lived in with like the wash or not working.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
I want to like, knock on there's no wood around me,
knock on wood. I've had okay experience so far like
this has only been like my best experience in the
million apartments I lived in where.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I lived very except for we didn't have heat for
a couple of weeks, you see, rather.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Aside from that, and they literally made it up to
me aside from that, that's good. I literally this is
the again, knocking it on. Whatever would I'm knocking on
wood for it, thank you. I'm like, guys, I'm like John,
please do not drinks.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
No, No, I had issues. My apartment complex read me
out to the county for having a pertment for chewy
back in the day. Rose Any you have a hole
in your ceiling in the shower at one of your
old places, Yes.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Because the shower above me had leaked, and so they
came in and they literally cut a hole in my
in like the ceiling where the showers, and I.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Was like, this is weird. I don't want it. So
I covered the hole with like a bag and came
and fixed it. I was like, hold your beer, guys
had a hole. They put a hole in your wall recently, Yeah,
they did so Friday, I noticed that there was like
I was cleaning the apartment. I noticed there was that
black mole. Black that looks like a behind house. Yeah,
(03:25):
which is my gosh, it looks like dirt. If you
don't know what black mole looks like, it's like it
looks evil. Yeah, it looks like So we reported it
and it took him a day to come. So that's Saturday.
I saw us and I were going to at one
point go hang out with Eric, but I didn't. I
didn't tell you guys why because it was but because
the maintenance team at my apartment had to pretty much
(03:48):
gut a whole hole that was in my apartment. Yeah,
the exposed hole in the wall for how long, like
thirty six hours? Probably the whole time is because we
have Teddy and Teddy is that height it was about
like two feet in the wall. Was making sure Teddy
didn't like sniff in there and see what's in there.
So what without giving too much away, how many floors
(04:09):
are above you? Two floors are above us. We're on
the second floor and there's like a four floors in
our apartment. So the neighbor flood there something. So we
found out that apparently, so that when the maintenance team came.
And it's a whole weird thing with our apartment because
there's the maintenance team and then the contractors that actually
do the like of course repairs. So the maintenance team
might be ready, but the contractor isn't ready, which is
(04:30):
an issue we had to deal with. Which is why
it took so long. Is that the leak came from
upstairs ac unit, but for some reason, I think it
was like months ago, the first floor had a leak
that they thought was from us, but it was from
the third floor. Oh my god. So that is connecting
to the dots of where the leak was coming from
the entire time. Legit to dear listener, to picture looks
(04:52):
like imagine a haunted house, legitimaly and like there's a
room where the devil's taking over from the bottom going
up and that's kind of what looks like. And you
also like more more took photos and I took photos. Uh,
this is like the inside of your apartment wall. I
want to see. That's not mold. That's just the normal
what a normal wall looks like. So your belt it's
bellatively you, isn't it like twenty years old or Sokay? Yeah,
(05:15):
I do think, like you realize how poorly apartments are
built when you live in them. It's like they really
just kind of put those things up and like it
all on there too.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
They're like, oh, have you seen like the means about
them repaying new apartments all the time then, And I'm like,
and I can like just verify. I'm like, I've lived
in like twenty apartments. Yeah, they just they just paint whatever.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Well, never forget. On April Fool's Day, about eight years ago,
I was walking Showy before work and I noticed my
apartment complex. They're building a brand new building across the
street that was opening that weekend. It's like a Thursday.
I was going to open up that Friday and it's
in flames. Yeah, I look, somebody should call nine one one.
I'm like, oh, it's just me. But like that was
supposed to open in twenty four hours and it's like
(05:55):
cot everywhere. But that was like divine intervention, so that
nobody got hurt. Thank god. Yeah, because clearly the building
was not the code. Yeah, like that, it looked like
it was just a bunch of paper on fire. It
was wise. And the funny thing is I think was
last week we actually had the repair may come in
and all our fire alarms expired in twenty fifteen. All
that's wild. Yeah, so like you know, normally, like it
(06:17):
was beeping on and we replaced the battery. He undid
the actual unit for your fire smoke detector and it's like,
oh yeah, the seven works than fifty. That is so weird.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
We have the same property management company and they check
our fire alarms every six months and they clean our
filters and they do all that every six months.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
It feels nice in that part of the town. That
should be long. They should be long. I'm sure legally
you're supposed to do that.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
I just feel like, either I don't know, I've gone
through a lot with my apartments. But that's insane because
that that's your that's your health, that's like your lungs.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Yeah that is.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Because in college, my roommates and my sweet mates and
I we all kept getting upper restorer infections in bronchitis
because there's black mole growing and our filters.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Oh yeah, sure. It was half the.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Limestone lacrosse team. They got sick from our whole lacrosse floor.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
And that's at Teddy's level. Well, it's fun because like
as soon as you know, oh, there's black mold, it's like, oh,
I've developed the cop pneumonia again. You see save this audio,
say this audio. If there's ever an issue with the
apartment complex, to send the audio here, guys proof. Can
(07:27):
we get it through like osmosis, because I think I
have a cop coming to Betty's apartment. Thanks, Now we're
all sick. It's an intern, Johnny Marshow.
