Emily thought it would be a great idea and take something that happens between her and a few "neighbors turned friends" and open it up to an even larger group. We try to stop her but it seems she is stuck in her ways...

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I don't know why.

Speaker 2 (00:00):
This morning we've been chronicling how Emily doesn't make a
lot of sense. May basically, you know, basically.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
Tons of sense.

Speaker 4 (00:10):
Okay, Yeah, well, you know the thing about you in
your neighborhood is you don't really like to run into
people you know, but you love your neighborhood because you
know all your neighbors.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Correct think about that.

Speaker 5 (00:29):
And like you'll always say, we have nothing going on
this weekend, We're just going to do nothing, and then
we come in Monday, and she hung out with.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Every neighbor every day of the weekend. Ye.

Speaker 6 (00:39):
I don't really like plans. I like unexpected visits and
stuff like that. So when things like that happen.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
In marriage, which I don't know, Maybe I don't know
how anxiety works, because I guess the anxiety for you
would be the thought of having the plan, yes, and
then if somebody just shows up, you don't have a
chance to think about it. But that would give me anxiety.

Speaker 5 (01:00):
I can't I used to live in a place where
people would just pop in and it's the worst thing ever, Like,
there's nothing worse to I'm not prepared for anything.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
I'm just doing my own thing. I want to hang out.
I don't want to talk to anybody right now.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
If I'm inside my house and the doors are closed,
neighbors don't pop in.

Speaker 6 (01:17):
Like It's like when I'm out cooking on the patio
and that's right on the street, kind of.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Cooking on the street.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
Met is like, but I'm on my food truck.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
You know, I can't imagine a neighbor of this house.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
But let's calm down. You're not friends with all of them.
There's some neighbors you get along with, some you don't like.
If they park their cars in the street anywhere near you.
If there's a lot going on.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
You're right, there's a couple of handfuls of neighbors that
I'm friends with.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
In mind, there's a lot going on now.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Emily has what she says is the best idea ever
when it comes to her neighborhood. Oh. I can't wait
to hear that she wants to start something in her neighborhood,
so much so that she's even considering to go on
the next Door app to propose this, Like, what do
we neighborhood watch?

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Or no, we already are involved in the neighborhood.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
Watch where a house was like, ah.

Speaker 6 (02:14):
My neighbor Barb is the neighborhood Watch captain. We actually
have there's a national night out on August fifth, and
we're going to her house because of police officer and
La Mesa meets with all the neighbors and we can
voice our concerns.

Speaker 5 (02:27):
I feel like this is where a bunch of moms
go and the police officer is actually a stripper.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
And that's.

Speaker 6 (02:35):
So that's not what this is about, Olay, But I
am part of neighborhood Watch very much.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
What are you going to do? Like, she doesn't even
like walk into her car by herself. What's she going
to do? Walk around the neighborhood at night with concern
see something, say something.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
Something, say something. That's all about keeping her eyes open.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
But everybody's like, well, we keep hearing screens coming from
this one house.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Like I'm just saying, so.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
That's what this is about.

Speaker 6 (02:58):
So I am like close friends with with, you know,
a couple of different neighbors to the point where like
I've had wine with them and we text and stuff
like that.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
And so over the.

Speaker 6 (03:07):
Past years, I've developed a couple of relationships with Chili
Dog Tim.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
Talk about Chili.

Speaker 6 (03:14):
Dog Tim my friend Amanda and my friend Nubia, and
these are all my neighbors. And these are people where
we have a relationship where if I'm cooking and I'm
making chili or something, and I get excited and I'm.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Why would you ever make chili if you have chili?
Dog Tim right there, who always.

Speaker 5 (03:31):
Has a pot of if I wanted chili, if I
was like, hey, let's have chili, and I just walk
over six and I go, hey, could I get a bowl?

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah? And just a bowl where I mean, I'll get
you whatever you want.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
I don't want to over extend myself. I'll go whatever
you want. He says that. I'll be like, hey, give
me a pot, give me a pot. Seat done.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Okay, that was a bad example. Okay, but chili.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
That was stupid.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
Hey, I'm making something that calls I can't imagine.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Her chili compared to chili. Tim, Oh my god, you
know she's putting turkey meat in that chilross turkey meat
overseasoned or under season use.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
You, it's not what this is about.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Sorry you brought it up.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
That and I realize, oh crap, I don't have the
onion I need to make this recipe why would you
start it?

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Man, You go to the store every day.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
It doesn't make anything.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Just make a list. You know you're gonna make.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
The damn chili I forgot. Okay, she moves fast. Forgot
It's crazy, But I've already got the meat browned, I've
already got everything going. Plus it's in my head.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
So you're that deep into cooking before you realize you forgot.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
Vodklets to take out all your ingredients and there we go.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
Sometimes it happens, Okay, sometimes it happens. Not every time,
makes no sense, stop it.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
Sorry.

Speaker 6 (04:51):
So I love a text to say somebody I haven't
you know, borrowed from in a while. And I'll love
a text to uh ChIL on Tim and say, hey,
do you have an onion?

Speaker 1 (05:00):
She does that chili going. Of course all he does
is make chili.

Speaker 6 (05:05):
Yeah, So he'll say, yes, I got you, and I'll
scurry across the street to Tim's house and borrow an.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Onion from him. Do you replace the onion?

Speaker 3 (05:17):
Don't replace the onion.

Speaker 6 (05:18):
Because the way that the system has worked out is
that somebody Nubia will ask me for some some cuman
or let's say, something that she needs for a recipe
and she'll ask me and all go over and meet
her halfway with a little cup full of the spice
that she needs. And it's like kind of an unspoken
thing where it's like if I borrow something from her,
the next time, she can borrow something from me, and
it's kind of like I got you, you got me,

(05:39):
I got you.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
And it's worked out really amazing.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
I just I can't believe this is happening that much.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
It's like once every two weeks.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
I wow, that's that's insane. In all honesty, that's insane.

Speaker 5 (05:52):
If our name we have, we have one neighbor who's
really old, and we have another neighbor where it's like
a house that's like an apartment building. But if I
had a neighbor do that once, I'd be like, that's weird.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
So I lived in my previous house where I had
a neighbor who would take advantage of us. Oh you know,
we knew them. And what she would do is send
her kids over and ask for things all the time.
Oh and I never I never would ask them for anything. Yeah,
I mean yeah, And they would come over and ask

(06:26):
for stuff all the time, to the point of where
I finally went, sorry, I don't have that. Oh okay,
I'm not going to just keep giving you, you know,
eggs all the time and you know things are expressive.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
Yeah, that's not right. You can't abuse the system. There's
a system.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
That was it. I mean, but it was one neighbor,
Like I don't understand fifteen neighbors following stuff.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
You're there every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
It sounds like that's true. That's not true.

Speaker 7 (06:47):
It's shopping like old school America where people only go
to the grocery store like once a month.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Well then you got to drive, you know, fifteen minutes
away to get the store.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Because there's a milkman. But I guess so back in
the day, like if.

Speaker 7 (07:03):
We're talking like in the twenties, I can see this
in the twenties.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
But but now.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Five minutes away from Albertson's, it would I would rather
just run the store real quick.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
I've got my sundress house dress on art showered.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
Wait, because you've already showered, you can't go.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
This point is that I have multiple other people that
love this. We all participation.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
I've accepted it. Maybe okay, okay, a lot okay, okay.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Okay, okay, okay, don't make it seem like that, all right,
get read.

Speaker 6 (07:35):
So with that being said, I wanted to extend the
circle in our neighborhood. I think more people could benefit this,
oh than y'all are just involved.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
So what I starting a farmer's market.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
Well, what I'm going to.

Speaker 6 (07:47):
Do is I'm going to put out a post that
I haven't generated yet, but I wanted to run it
by on the next rap on the next door app,
and then you could do next door up.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
You could do just your small neighborhood.

Speaker 6 (07:56):
You could like pick the area so it would be
just my small neighborhood, meaning like just like probably like
a ten to twelve like block radius, just about immediate.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
It's act well something around somewhere around there.

Speaker 6 (08:07):
With your immedia, it's a massive span and I want
to see if anybody else will be into this.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
Well, I have prepared the post that I'm going to
read to you guys.

Speaker 5 (08:16):
Oh, my neighbors, I already hate it.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
So I have a fun idea that I'd like to
gauge interest.

Speaker 6 (08:25):
On the past years, I've had a few neighbors turned
friends that will reach out and text me if they're
on a pinch cooking dinner and realize they needed an onion,
or say an egg or vinegar. If I have an ingredient,
it's theirs, and in turn I can ask them for
something if I'm in a pinch.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
It's been so convenient that I thought, why not, why
in the circle?

Speaker 6 (08:46):
You'd like to be included in this neighborly trade message
me and I'll start a neighbor trade text thread to
get it started.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
Exclamation point.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Oh god.

Speaker 5 (08:55):
My immediate thought if I saw this on the next
door app would be, isn't this a check that's always
screaming guy.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
That's the first freeloader. Yeah, looking for free free what
I'm gonna post it? But you asked her our opinion
it's lame.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
I realize I think it's nice.

Speaker 7 (09:12):
I think it's nice. You could definitely get some weird oh's.
You definitely can get some people who are going to
get in there and take advantage rules.

Speaker 5 (09:20):
If you came to Sky's house and asked for something,
she would immediately think you're trying to look in her
house and scope it out and rob it. Eventually, Well,
that's exactly what would happen.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
What I would do is.

Speaker 7 (09:31):
I'd be like, oh, I'm not going to be home,
but I'll leave it outside the gate for you. Even
though I am home, I'm just hiding inside, you know
what I mean.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
I don't need that interaction. That's okay.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
But I think it's a.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
Nice, nice concept. I think I'm just going to give
it a try. But no, why not, you know, need
some new friends.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
I would move out of this neighborhood by the way.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
By the way, the Albertsons is within that twelve block radio.
Let's just say you don't just go to the damn store.
Go to the damn store twelve
