If you're listening to the Jack and Nikki Show podcast
everywhere you get your podcasts and at WBQ dot com.
Joined Jack and Nicky Live weekday mornings from six to
ten on one O two WVAQ.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
It's time now to take a look at a mystery
in the teen community, possibly involving troubled teens. At this point,
I just don't know, but I was contacted yesterday by
a person who spoke to me on the condition of anonymity,
who shared the following information.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
I'm glad they threw that out there, because otherwise you'd
be blabbing who they are all over the radio.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
That's exactly right. Yeah, and for some reason, I would
also do a billboard campaign. Yeah, skoty riding the whole thing,
says this anonymous person, who is a parent. I have
been told that kids no longer go to prom. They
get dressed up, wear the corsage, go out to dinner,
(01:06):
and then just hang out of somebody's house. They never
actually go to the dance itself, because apparently it's now
considered uncool really to go to the prom. I guess
this is somebody who has heard me talk on the
show over the past few weeks about how I have
repeatedly run into these prom kids everywhere I've gone out
(01:30):
to dinner in the last month. There's a prom going on, ye,
And there it is, the little wieners in their tuxedos,
the girls running around in their dresses, all made up,
and you go, oh my god, it's prom and here
we are in the middle of it, just trying to
have dinner. But according to this anonymous insider who is
(01:54):
a parent, now I ask this person, wait a minute,
do the parents know that they're doing this? And this
anonymous insider said, yes, the parents do know that this
is happening. I am really confused. Are you guys aware
of this? This is all news to me. Eight eight
(02:16):
seven seven seven sixty six forty the number to the
show call us. Text us at that number. You can
also text us at three five sixty five one. I'd
like to hear from either parents or troubled teens, or
anybody struggling to get into a tuxedo right now. I mean,
it doesn't matter. I want to know what is this
(02:36):
because my thinking on this is, if you are renting
the tucks, if you are buying the dress and spending
all of the time to do the hair and the
makeup and all this, so you can just go hang
out at somebody's house. That's a lot of effort and
a lot of money. Yeah for that, I mean, wouldn't
(02:59):
you want to actually go to the prom itself? Because
you've spent so much time preparing and it's kind of
like you know you're on display there. Sure you know
you're making the scene, right, so you go in. I
mean it's that's a lot different from, Hey, I spend
all this money on hair and makeup and address, I'm
going to go stand in somebody's living room.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
That's a really confusing to me.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
I'm not getting this at all. But that's why I
pose the question. You've not heard of this?
Speaker 5 (03:27):
No, I haven't.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Okay, all right now I did ask around. I ask
a few other people, and they hadn't heard this either.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Okay, Oka, Yeah, it's very confusing to me.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
All right, we'll tell you what again. Studio and text
lines are open. You give us a call, shoot us
a text, and we'll see what we can figure out next.
Now we have texts, but we have somebody on hold here,
so let's go ahead and get to this guy. Would
you want to say here.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
Sir, hey, so my stepdaughter is a junior and we
had to force them to go for at least an hour.
There's a lot of issues with from nowadays. So first off,
with the whole you know, Snapchat, Instagram, it's just a
big picture opportunity for them. And also it's strange to
(04:17):
me the girls are carrying bouquets instead of wearing a corsage.
They're getting a whole bouquet like they're getting married.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
That's I think.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
I came across this as well in high school, and
it was a regional thing for me because in Columbus
where I was I was going to high school, it
was a corsage. When I went to prom with my
now husband in Weirton there were bouquets, yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Which was unexpected.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
And yeah, and when I went to school, it was
a bottle of whiskey in a brown paper bag. That's
what we carried. Yes, absolutely, U Okay, so you're telling
me you have to talk these kids into just going
and being there for an hour and then they leave
and go to somebody's house after that, or what they.
Speaker 6 (05:11):
Didn't go to anybody's house. They went out to eat,
Like you said, you see them out in all the restaurants. Yeah,
but we had to force them to go.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
Now, granted the stepdaughter is a little introverted, so she
doesn't like to do things like that at all. What
we had to do the same thing with their older
sister a couple of years ago. It's just with the times,
I guess.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Okay, but after the one hour that they spend there,
do they just come back home.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
They go to a.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Restaurant, So they go out after they've already been to
so they.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Confusion.
Speaker 7 (05:47):
Yeah, wow, okay, all right, now I'm really confused because
when I've been out and bumped into these prom kids,
it was at like five or six.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Pm, so they must have been having dinner before the problem,
unless their problem was at like three in the afternoon
and then they went out. This is all You're adding
to the confusion, buddy, is what I'm saying. You're you're
making things worse.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I hope you're happy. I've never been more confused. That's
saying a lot. All right, man, appreciate the phone call.
Thank you say it. He's adding to the confusion, and
that's my job. Yeah, I do appreciate him calling in
although I have to admit I don't understand why he
stuck his head out his car window before he called in,
(06:35):
But you know that's his choice. Okay, I'm not gonna
judge him. He just likes the wind in his hair
apparently no.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Rain currently maybe, and he's perhaps, you know, just trying
to appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I will tell you that, as I said to him,
this does add to my confusion. So he's talking about
the prom being a big picture opportunity. Yeah, I would
think so. And again, if you're spending all this money
to get ready and glammed up and go there, wouldn't
you not only want to be seen there, but also
you know, get your pictures and post stuff on social media.
(07:06):
That seems like that would be more more of a
draw to do it than something that you would want
to avoid.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Right, Right, Yeah, that's what I would think.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Right, Because he was saying it like, yeah, you know,
they don't want to deal with that either, I'm like,
wait a minute, teenagers don't want to deal with taking
pictures and putting them on social media. Three teenagers are
trying to.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Avoid, right, That's news to me.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Yeah, I haven't heard that one. Okay, what else are
we seeing here on the text.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
Line, Let's see somebody texted in here. It's mostly at prom.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
You you can't listen to the music that you want
to at the dance, and it's more fun to just
be with your friends.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Well, that's what all dances are. That's what clubs are too, like.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Yeah, yeah, the radio stations as well.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
And then most girls get their dress on Sheen for
like five to fifteen dollars.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I'm sorry, most girls get their dresses from Charlie Sheen.
What what do you mean?
Speaker 3 (08:01):
It's a clothing It's like a fast fashion like timu
is it?
Speaker 7 (08:06):
Like?
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Yeah, basically for fast fashion. Yeah, fast fashion, all right,
very good, not quality fashion.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Well, I don't have any idea what's happening. My confusion remains,
Nikki Drake, what are you seeing on the text line?
Speaker 5 (08:19):
This was coming from a parent.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
If I'm buying my kids stuff to dress up anywhere
between three hundred and five hundred the whole Look.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
You're going to prom the whole time. This isn't an
expensive dinner date.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
That would be in a very expensive dinner date. Yeah yeah, okay.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
At the hair, the makeup, the outfit.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yeah, the of it the whole thing. Yeah, all right,
what else?
Speaker 5 (08:44):
Oh uh, I think that's all I had right now.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Wasn't there a text here about Weirton?
Speaker 5 (08:49):
I did not see that one.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
We can see that according to this texture, the average
marrying age and Whirton is about seventeen and a half.
So the bouquet makes sense.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Oh, I don't get the joke them.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
But okay, walking down the aisle with a bouquet, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
I mean I did that. I don't. Yeah, I get
I understand that part.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, okay, and that concludes. Jack and Nikki explained jokes
on the text line let's go to your calls.
Speaker 8 (09:16):
I remember when I went to proms. I went to
prom two thousand and six, two thousand and seven, two
thousand and eight, and most of the people were just
standing around anyways. So I understand that kids aren't wanting
to go pay a ticket fee, pay all these fees
(09:36):
to go stand around and hang out with their friends,
and they can just go hang out with their friends
at home. So I understand that people are using it like,
you know, taking their pictures hanging out with their friends,
going to dinner, and then going home, because that's essentially
what we end up doing at prom anyways, to just
do it standing up?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Okay, and as you established your credentials at the beginning
of the call. You are a prom veteran served in
three proms. Okay, for sure? We were you aware that
this was happening before you heard the show this morning?
Is this something that you knew about or is this
news to you?
Speaker 4 (10:11):
No?
Speaker 8 (10:11):
I feel like one I experienced it, but also I
kind of assumed it to be true because you know,
we're all in the world of TikTok. So you can
see prom get ready with me, and you see that
the outfit and eighty percent of these dresses are not
even practical to be barely walking in. So I know
they're not going to prom and dancing and hanging out.
(10:33):
They're literally hanging out and standing still. So why not
just do that in the comfort of somebody's living room?
You know, Captin gets our cheap okay. And you you know,
sometimes there's drama, sometimes there's other things that just don't
exist when you're hanging out in a personal environment. So
(10:56):
I mean it's not new, Okay.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I have two questions for you then, So this is
just a I'm assuming some percentage of the kids are
doing this, not all of them, Like there's still a
big chunk of them going to the prom. This is
like some of the kids are not going in right, Yeah, okay,
so that's my first question.
Speaker 8 (11:15):
And then still going. But I think prom isn't it's
not what it used to be. Yeah, where it was
this big, big, huge thing, where it was they get ready,
you get you go to dinner, you go to prom,
you dance, you hang out, you take you know, pictures
(11:37):
on a real camera. Now it's just like you get ready,
you take a picture, you go there, you stand around
because it's just not your scene.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Okay, Well, now that's my second question. If they go
to dinner and then go to somebody's house, is that
a house party? I mean, they got some music thump
in there, they got some partying going honors that they
literally just go and just hang out of somebody's house
and that's it.
Speaker 8 (12:02):
So I've experienced both. I've experienced an actual house party.
It was it's a prom party, so like there were
balloons and signs, and like the family was very ready
for it to be a prom party. They had balloons,
and then some just go hang out as if it's
just a regular after school moment.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Okay, all right, all right, very good.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Difference though is the balloons. But if there are balloons,
then it's an actual party.
Speaker 8 (12:29):
Loons and the party food really set it off as
an after prom party.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Well, I just want to say to you, as at
that point, right ma'am, as a veteran of three proms
and at least one house party, thank you for your service,
and we do appreciate the call. All right, have a
good day.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
The Jack and Nicky Show t wv AQ.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
It's Jack and Nikki talking about the game of love.
Oh ah, it's a game, all right. We call it
kicks to the Butt by Love. It's our ongoing series
on The Jack and Nikki Show. We talk about you
getting jerked around my Love Studio. Text lines are open
(13:16):
eight eight eight seven seven seven sixty six forty. You
can call us, you can text us. You can also
text us at three five sixty five to one. It's
the story this morning of a woman who has gone
to social media with her theory about the way a
person treated their X and how they're going to treat
you the same way. She tosses out a few nuggets
(13:39):
of wisdom here that perhaps need to be addressed. Let's
take a listen.
Speaker 9 (13:44):
Be careful about dating divorce men. No woman is divorcing
a good man, especially when they have kids together. Yes,
a lot of people grow apart and it's mutual, but
the majority of the time, she has divorced him for
a reason, and whatever he's done to her, he's going
to do to you.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I think that this is a flawed theory in a
few ways. All right, So let's start with no woman
divorce is a good man. I don't think that's true. Okay, Okay,
Now while we're talking specifically about women. Now I will
broaden this out to men and women, but just talking
(14:26):
about women in particular, A lot of women will divorce
a good man if they think they have found a
better man.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
Oh okay, Okay.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
So you could be a woman and you're married to
a good man, but he is not your first choice, gotcha. Okay,
this is the guy who maybe you pulled out of
the friend zone because you couldn't get the guy you wanted.
He's a good guy, but once you marry him, another
guy comes along that you prefer and you're like, that's
a better option for me. I'm gonna divorce the good
(14:59):
man man go with a better man. So that doesn't
mean that the guy you married is a bad person,
that he's necessarily done anything wrong. It's just you think
you got a better option.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
Okay, that happens, That does happen.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Okay, So I think she's she's off base there. But now,
in general, I think people, men and women divorce good
people all of the time because being good doesn't mean
that the person you're married to will recognize or appreciate
your goodness. Okay, because some people don't. Some people have
(15:35):
a really good thing and don't realize it until it's gone.
We've all heard the song no, No, what you got
to it?
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Girl?
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Okay, right, please never do that again, especially while making
direct eye contact.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Yeah, that was awkward.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
I'm sorry, But my point is that you know, people
do I mean, look, I think it's a you can't
saddle somebody with Hey, if you're divorced, something wrong with you.
You can't be a good person if somebody divorced you.
I mean, you can't say that. The minds of good
people who have had people leave them fly to them,
(16:17):
cheat on them. They've been the victim of you know,
a horrible spouse doesn't make you a bad person necessarily. Okay, yeah,
do you agree.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
I mean, I'm I'm sure that that that's a thing.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
But I thought what she was getting at was like,
if it's a not.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
If it's a bad situation, if it's just a right,
there is no friendship on either end a post divorce
because somebody did something.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
Wrong, and you know that person.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Whoever, you know, whichever side that was, is probably going
to continue that habit, that personality trait, whatever that was.
Whatever happened, it's probably going to happen again in an
extra relationship.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Well, I mean it is it is fair to say
that past behavior is the best indication of future behavior
because people tend to.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
That's what I thought.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Existing. Yeah, I mean that there's that, But I do
think that this notion that because she also said that
no woman divorce is a good man, and I don't
think that's true.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Okay, all right, I.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Just don't think that's true. I think I think you
could find plenty of good men and plenty of good
women who have been left by people who did not
appreciate them or recognize their goodness. Okay, So I just
I'm not buying.
Speaker 9 (17:39):
Him be careful about dating divorce men. No woman is
divorcing a good man, especially when they have kids together. Yes,
a lot of people grow apart and it's mutual, but
the majority of the time she has divorced him for
a reason, and whatever he's done to her, he's going
to do to you.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Okay, are these statements true or false in your experience,
Nikki Drake? What are we seeing on the textual lines?
Speaker 3 (18:00):
On the textual lines, there's a lot.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
Let's see, my husband left me.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
He said I was good, but he was looking for
someone more on the bad side.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
See what I mean? See I was kind of illuding
to that, right, I mean, you might be a good
person and the person you're with either doesn't recognize that
you're good as a spouse, or they don't appreciate it,
or maybe they just want something else right, Right, They're like,
I need somebody who walks on the wild side a
(18:33):
little bit, and you're too tame for me.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
So now sure, Yeah, that happens. There's a longer explanation here,
a longer text.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Each divorce has a level of context that is not
reflected by simply calling either person good or bad, and
there's usually a lot.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Of hyperbowl and dishonesty coming from each party. Women don't
want to hear it.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
But the best way to avoid divorce is to date
for at least five years. Going to be pretty difficult
for either party to keep up an act for that
long unless the other party.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
Has a ton of money or something they want. Yeah, yeah,
for a long time.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
We have talked about that quite a bit on the
show over the years. Is the vetting process needs to
be long and thorough. Yes it does, because you can
hide crazy for a while, Yes you can, but eventually
it comes out and five years probably gonna rear its uglyhead.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Yes, I think a long courtship is the way to go.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Okay, anything else, I keep refreshing.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
So I'm having difficulties with the text life.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
He's feeling refreshed. Okay, So again listening to this woman,
I'm taking essentially two things out of it. Like I said,
she says, no woman divorce is a good man, and
we discussed how that's probably not true, and we can
offer examples of women who do divorce good men. But
then I wanted to also mention she said, the way
(19:55):
he treated his X is the way he'll treat you.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
Yeah, now that's what I've been concentrating on.
Speaker 6 (20:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Now, this is interesting to me because if you think
about relationships, a lot of times behavior in relationships is reactionary.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Okay. So he may have treated his ex poorly because
she treated him poorly maybe, and so he was just like,
I'm giving up on her, you know what, She's been
so awful to me. I'm just I'm not going to
putting more energy into this. I'm out. Well, Okay, So
let's say you marry him, but you treat him well
(20:33):
and you guys have a good relationship. He's probably gonna
treat you differently. Sure, he's probably gonna be good to you.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
I mean there is there. People grow, they're not always
the same.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Sure, but you know it is something to consider that
the past, the past actions definitely should be considered.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Yeah. Yeah, And I think you also want to be
careful about how reactionary somebody is in their treatment. Like
let's say he says, well, I cheated on her, and
you say, why did you cheat on her? He's like,
you know, she wasn't nice to me. Well, that doesn't
give you the green light to go cheat. So now
you're looking at it and thinking, well, if I marry
him and he decides that I'm not nice, he's gonna
(21:14):
go cheat. So yeah, yeah, but again within reason, you
can suss these things out. Take a few years, as
the Texter suggested, Yeah, yeah, yeah, anything you would like
to add, THINKI direct before I believe we wrap this up,
because I think we got to figure it out.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
I think I think we Oh, I think we got
another text in you. I'd like to read, I treated
my first wife like crap. I learned my lesson. I
also learned what not to do in a relationship. Now
I've been married for twenty years and they're great, and
I'm a different person.
Speaker 8 (21:46):
Do what.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
You promised.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
I did, but I couldn't help myself past actions.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
You know, have known.
Speaker 6 (21:57):
You know.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
But look, this guy is kind of making your point.
He's supporting your point. People grow and change over time.
And yeah, maybe he was married and was younger and
was a goofball and looked back on that with regret
and made the adjustment for the next one. Yep, right,
look at that. Okay. So basically, what it comes down to,
this woman who posted the original videos just wrong.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
We have spoken the nerve center of North Central West Virginia,
Jack Loger and Nikki Drake on one O two WVAQ.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
We are helping people. It's time you ask for it.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
You hor it, you asked for it.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Where you call our text in topics to the show
and we respond and then we get everyone involved. Studio
and textual lines are open eight eight eight seven, seven
seven sixty six forty call us textus at that number.
You can also text us at three five six' five to.
(23:04):
One and this, one this one is not. EASY i
don't think there is a good solution to, this but
we may be missing. Something that's why we toss out
the numbers and you tell. Us says This, texter my
Neighbor's german shepherd is lunging at our dog through our
shared backyard. Fence The german shepherd is causing the fence
(23:27):
to bode and starting to separate the. Slats what CAN
i do without causing a? Feud i'm also worried that our,
older smaller dog could get hurt if it actually makes
it through the. Fence so they need some advice. Here
some analysis of the. Situation conflict resolution is What i'm. Indicating,
(23:53):
nikki would you agree with me WHEN i say that
getting this sorted out out without causing a feud seems.
Unlikely seems very.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Unlikely, Yes i'm going to recommend immediately getting some cameras out,
back because you need video evidence first of, all.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
And photos aren't going to do. It they're gonna want video.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Evidence and whose fence is it because it is not
quote unquote, Shared which property line is that fence?
Speaker 5 (24:30):
On whose responsibility is that? Fence is it?
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Yours because if, so then they're going to owe you
for a new. Fence so you got another problem on
top of. It if it's their, fence well that's on,
them and you can't really do anything about. It you
could install your own fence on your property and then
have a second barrier.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
There so those are my.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Questions this is excellent. Analysis these are all great, Points thank,
you AND i do believe that they probably all result
in having a feud with the. Neighbors BUT i think
you're right on everything you're, saying and that all makes good.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
Sense, yeah but usually good sense doesn't work.
Speaker 8 (25:15):
Out.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Well you, know HERE'S i wonder what percentage of people are?
Unreasonable you, Know, YEAH i don't. KNOW i really don't
know the answer to. THAT i don't know how many
people are, unreasonable, sure but it seems like if you
have a dog that is lunging at the neighbor's dog
(25:37):
and busting up the fence and you are at least
oblivious to, that, yeah best case, scenario you're oblivious to.
It worst case, scenario you're aware of it and doing nothing.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
Right and how.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Could you be oblivious to it if the fence is
bowing right and it's being.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Damaged, yeah and then if the neighbor says to, you,
Hey i'm afraid your dog's going to bust through this
fence and kill my, small older, dog, Right you're probably
not going to respond well.
Speaker 5 (26:03):
To, that, Right.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
Yeah the other THING i just thought of two.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Things, actually you could set up like another small area
that's kind of like small fenced off so that your
your dog has a safe space in the backyard that's
away from that side of the.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
FENCE i don't know what the size of the yard
is or anything like. That the other thing, is do
you have AN, hoa because if that fence is.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Damaged and unsightly and whatever you, know bylaws are in YOUR,
hoa like you could report that fence and if it's.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Their fence To, well, yeah you could do, that and
also lunging dog safety, risks, right all that that. Stuff,
YEAH i, mean this is this is why you have
a hoa a hoa. Hoa they're not just there to
take your money and waste, it, right that's just one
of the services they. Provide, Okay they're trying to find
(26:58):
a solution that will not calls a feud with the.
Neighbor this is. Key this is the. Challenge So nikki
had some suggestions like putting a camera on that to record, it, yes,
yes and then perhaps building another fence on your own,
property just a little bit inside the property. Line and
(27:21):
people are responding to, that says this. TEXTER i agree
with the cameras and checking whose fence it. Is i'll
add that there are dog repellent sprays that you could
spray on the fence. Line oh, Really, OKAY i wonder
how your own dog would respond to, that, Though, well
maybe keep your dog away from it, too and then
they just don't go anywhere near each. Other, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
SO i Don't, yeah that sounds like a good.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Idea, yeah you could also hump up and poop right
on the fence. Line, yourself you can Mart, yeah and
that would send a powerful.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Message, sure just make sure the cameras are off at that, point, Right. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Yeah it keeps the neighbor's dog at, bay but also
tells the neighbor you're not someone to be trifled. With
you're nuts and you're capable of, anything so keep your.
Distance that's the MESSAGE i think it. Sends somebody also
suggested you could put up an electric fence on the
other side instead of going through the hassle of you,
(28:16):
know building a full on fence or putting in a
chain link fence and all that. Expense, sure maybe you,
know just get an electric fence around a couple of
wires there that are, electrified and if it gets, through
then you know it's probably going to stop and go
in the other direction when it gets. Shocked. Sure, yeah
works for. Cattle.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
Yeah sometimes it keeps the deer out of your garden. Too,
yeah that's.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Not a bad, idea because the way we keep deer
out of our shrubbery Is jessica puts her hair on.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
It oh, yeah that works.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Too, Yeah So i'll talk To jessica and maybe we
can get some of her discarded hair and we'll mail
that to you and you could put that in your
property line and then they'll keep The german shepherd.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
Away the sex came. IN i haven't heard of.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
This we have one of those thirty dollars devices Off
amazon that emits a super high pitched. SOUND i can
press the button from my office in the back of
my house and it shuts my dogs barking at everything
out the.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Window, OKAY i need more information on, this And i'm
apparently too lazy and we're stupid to go To amazon
and look into it. Myself will you text back and
let me know what the range is on. That, Yeah
i'm curious because that's something that could be a. SOLUTION
i have a friend and or relative who lives near
(29:36):
some people and it's basically like they're running a. Kennel,
oh these are dogs that bark NonStop all day er,
day and he is going. Nuts, sure but they're probably
a good fifty yards off of his, house AND i
just wonder if that were with the.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Ranges, yeah find one that's got a, yeah long enough.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
RANGE i offered to give him big clumps Of jessica's,
hair but he declined and.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
The mode and, well no to

If you're listening to the Jack and Nikki Show podcast
everywhere you get your podcasts and at WBQ dot com.
Joined Jack and Nicky Live weekday mornings from six to
ten on one O two WVAQ.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
It's time now to take a look at a mystery
in the teen community, possibly involving troubled teens. At this point,
I just don't know, but I was contacted yesterday by
a person who spoke to me on the condition of anonymity,
who shared the following information.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
I'm glad they threw that out there, because otherwise you'd
be blabbing who they are all over the radio.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
That's exactly right. Yeah, and for some reason, I would
also do a billboard campaign. Yeah, skoty riding the whole thing,
says this anonymous person, who is a parent. I have
been told that kids no longer go to prom. They
get dressed up, wear the corsage, go out to dinner,
(01:06):
and then just hang out of somebody's house. They never
actually go to the dance itself, because apparently it's now
considered uncool really to go to the prom. I guess
this is somebody who has heard me talk on the
show over the past few weeks about how I have
repeatedly run into these prom kids everywhere I've gone out
(01:30):
to dinner in the last month. There's a prom going on, ye,
And there it is, the little wieners in their tuxedos,
the girls running around in their dresses, all made up,
and you go, oh my god, it's prom and here
we are in the middle of it, just trying to
have dinner. But according to this anonymous insider who is
(01:54):
a parent, now I ask this person, wait a minute,
do the parents know that they're doing this? And this
anonymous insider said, yes, the parents do know that this
is happening. I am really confused. Are you guys aware
of this? This is all news to me. Eight eight
(02:16):
seven seven seven sixty six forty the number to the
show call us. Text us at that number. You can
also text us at three five sixty five one. I'd
like to hear from either parents or troubled teens, or
anybody struggling to get into a tuxedo right now. I mean,
it doesn't matter. I want to know what is this
(02:36):
because my thinking on this is, if you are renting
the tucks, if you are buying the dress and spending
all of the time to do the hair and the
makeup and all this, so you can just go hang
out at somebody's house. That's a lot of effort and
a lot of money. Yeah for that, I mean, wouldn't
(02:59):
you want to actually go to the prom itself? Because
you've spent so much time preparing and it's kind of
like you know you're on display there. Sure you know
you're making the scene, right, so you go in. I
mean it's that's a lot different from, Hey, I spend
all this money on hair and makeup and address, I'm
going to go stand in somebody's living room.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
That's a really confusing to me.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
I'm not getting this at all. But that's why I
pose the question. You've not heard of this?
Speaker 5 (03:27):
No, I haven't.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Okay, all right now I did ask around. I ask
a few other people, and they hadn't heard this either.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Okay, Oka, Yeah, it's very confusing to me.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
All right, we'll tell you what again. Studio and text
lines are open. You give us a call, shoot us
a text, and we'll see what we can figure out next.
Now we have texts, but we have somebody on hold here,
so let's go ahead and get to this guy. Would
you want to say here.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
Sir, hey, so my stepdaughter is a junior and we
had to force them to go for at least an hour.
There's a lot of issues with from nowadays. So first off,
with the whole you know, Snapchat, Instagram, it's just a
big picture opportunity for them. And also it's strange to
(04:17):
me the girls are carrying bouquets instead of wearing a corsage.
They're getting a whole bouquet like they're getting married.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
That's I think.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
I came across this as well in high school, and
it was a regional thing for me because in Columbus
where I was I was going to high school, it
was a corsage. When I went to prom with my
now husband in Weirton there were bouquets, yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Which was unexpected.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
And yeah, and when I went to school, it was
a bottle of whiskey in a brown paper bag. That's
what we carried. Yes, absolutely, U Okay, so you're telling
me you have to talk these kids into just going
and being there for an hour and then they leave
and go to somebody's house after that, or what they.
Speaker 6 (05:11):
Didn't go to anybody's house. They went out to eat,
Like you said, you see them out in all the restaurants. Yeah,
but we had to force them to go.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
Now, granted the stepdaughter is a little introverted, so she
doesn't like to do things like that at all. What
we had to do the same thing with their older
sister a couple of years ago. It's just with the times,
I guess.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Okay, but after the one hour that they spend there,
do they just come back home.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
They go to a.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Restaurant, So they go out after they've already been to
so they.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Confusion.
Speaker 7 (05:47):
Yeah, wow, okay, all right, now I'm really confused because
when I've been out and bumped into these prom kids,
it was at like five or six.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Pm, so they must have been having dinner before the problem,
unless their problem was at like three in the afternoon
and then they went out. This is all You're adding
to the confusion, buddy, is what I'm saying. You're you're
making things worse.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I hope you're happy. I've never been more confused. That's
saying a lot. All right, man, appreciate the phone call.
Thank you say it. He's adding to the confusion, and
that's my job. Yeah, I do appreciate him calling in
although I have to admit I don't understand why he
stuck his head out his car window before he called in,
(06:35):
But you know that's his choice. Okay, I'm not gonna
judge him. He just likes the wind in his hair
apparently no.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Rain currently maybe, and he's perhaps, you know, just trying
to appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I will tell you that, as I said to him,
this does add to my confusion. So he's talking about
the prom being a big picture opportunity. Yeah, I would
think so. And again, if you're spending all this money
to get ready and glammed up and go there, wouldn't
you not only want to be seen there, but also
you know, get your pictures and post stuff on social media.
(07:06):
That seems like that would be more more of a
draw to do it than something that you would want
to avoid.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Right, Right, Yeah, that's what I would think.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Right, Because he was saying it like, yeah, you know,
they don't want to deal with that either, I'm like,
wait a minute, teenagers don't want to deal with taking
pictures and putting them on social media. Three teenagers are
trying to.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Avoid, right, That's news to me.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Yeah, I haven't heard that one. Okay, what else are
we seeing here on the text.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
Line, Let's see somebody texted in here. It's mostly at prom.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
You you can't listen to the music that you want
to at the dance, and it's more fun to just
be with your friends.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Well, that's what all dances are. That's what clubs are too, like.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Yeah, yeah, the radio stations as well.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
And then most girls get their dress on Sheen for
like five to fifteen dollars.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I'm sorry, most girls get their dresses from Charlie Sheen.
What what do you mean?
Speaker 3 (08:01):
It's a clothing It's like a fast fashion like timu
is it?
Speaker 7 (08:06):
Like?
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Yeah, basically for fast fashion. Yeah, fast fashion, all right,
very good, not quality fashion.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Well, I don't have any idea what's happening. My confusion remains,
Nikki Drake, what are you seeing on the text line?
Speaker 5 (08:19):
This was coming from a parent.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
If I'm buying my kids stuff to dress up anywhere
between three hundred and five hundred the whole Look.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
You're going to prom the whole time. This isn't an
expensive dinner date.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
That would be in a very expensive dinner date. Yeah yeah, okay.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
At the hair, the makeup, the outfit.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yeah, the of it the whole thing. Yeah, all right,
what else?
Speaker 5 (08:44):
Oh uh, I think that's all I had right now.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Wasn't there a text here about Weirton?
Speaker 5 (08:49):
I did not see that one.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
We can see that according to this texture, the average
marrying age and Whirton is about seventeen and a half.
So the bouquet makes sense.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Oh, I don't get the joke them.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
But okay, walking down the aisle with a bouquet, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
I mean I did that. I don't. Yeah, I get
I understand that part.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, okay, and that concludes. Jack and Nikki explained jokes
on the text line let's go to your calls.
Speaker 8 (09:16):
I remember when I went to proms. I went to
prom two thousand and six, two thousand and seven, two
thousand and eight, and most of the people were just
standing around anyways. So I understand that kids aren't wanting
to go pay a ticket fee, pay all these fees
(09:36):
to go stand around and hang out with their friends,
and they can just go hang out with their friends
at home. So I understand that people are using it like,
you know, taking their pictures hanging out with their friends,
going to dinner, and then going home, because that's essentially
what we end up doing at prom anyways, to just
do it standing up?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Okay, and as you established your credentials at the beginning
of the call. You are a prom veteran served in
three proms. Okay, for sure? We were you aware that
this was happening before you heard the show this morning?
Is this something that you knew about or is this
news to you?
Speaker 4 (10:11):
No?
Speaker 8 (10:11):
I feel like one I experienced it, but also I
kind of assumed it to be true because you know,
we're all in the world of TikTok. So you can
see prom get ready with me, and you see that
the outfit and eighty percent of these dresses are not
even practical to be barely walking in. So I know
they're not going to prom and dancing and hanging out.
(10:33):
They're literally hanging out and standing still. So why not
just do that in the comfort of somebody's living room?
You know, Captin gets our cheap okay. And you you know,
sometimes there's drama, sometimes there's other things that just don't
exist when you're hanging out in a personal environment. So
(10:56):
I mean it's not new, Okay.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I have two questions for you then, So this is
just a I'm assuming some percentage of the kids are
doing this, not all of them, Like there's still a
big chunk of them going to the prom. This is
like some of the kids are not going in right, Yeah, okay,
so that's my first question.
Speaker 8 (11:15):
And then still going. But I think prom isn't it's
not what it used to be. Yeah, where it was
this big, big, huge thing, where it was they get ready,
you get you go to dinner, you go to prom,
you dance, you hang out, you take you know, pictures
(11:37):
on a real camera. Now it's just like you get ready,
you take a picture, you go there, you stand around
because it's just not your scene.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Okay, Well, now that's my second question. If they go
to dinner and then go to somebody's house, is that
a house party? I mean, they got some music thump
in there, they got some partying going honors that they
literally just go and just hang out of somebody's house
and that's it.
Speaker 8 (12:02):
So I've experienced both. I've experienced an actual house party.
It was it's a prom party, so like there were
balloons and signs, and like the family was very ready
for it to be a prom party. They had balloons,
and then some just go hang out as if it's
just a regular after school moment.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Okay, all right, all right, very good.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Difference though is the balloons. But if there are balloons,
then it's an actual party.
Speaker 8 (12:29):
Loons and the party food really set it off as
an after prom party.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Well, I just want to say to you, as at
that point, right ma'am, as a veteran of three proms
and at least one house party, thank you for your service,
and we do appreciate the call. All right, have a
good day.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
The Jack and Nicky Show t wv AQ.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
It's Jack and Nikki talking about the game of love.
Oh ah, it's a game, all right. We call it
kicks to the Butt by Love. It's our ongoing series
on The Jack and Nikki Show. We talk about you
getting jerked around my Love Studio. Text lines are open
(13:16):
eight eight eight seven seven seven sixty six forty. You
can call us, you can text us. You can also
text us at three five sixty five to one. It's
the story this morning of a woman who has gone
to social media with her theory about the way a
person treated their X and how they're going to treat
you the same way. She tosses out a few nuggets
(13:39):
of wisdom here that perhaps need to be addressed. Let's
take a listen.
Speaker 9 (13:44):
Be careful about dating divorce men. No woman is divorcing
a good man, especially when they have kids together. Yes,
a lot of people grow apart and it's mutual, but
the majority of the time, she has divorced him for
a reason, and whatever he's done to her, he's going
to do to you.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I think that this is a flawed theory in a
few ways. All right, So let's start with no woman
divorce is a good man. I don't think that's true. Okay, Okay,
Now while we're talking specifically about women. Now I will
broaden this out to men and women, but just talking
(14:26):
about women in particular, A lot of women will divorce
a good man if they think they have found a
better man.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
Oh okay, Okay.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
So you could be a woman and you're married to
a good man, but he is not your first choice, gotcha. Okay,
this is the guy who maybe you pulled out of
the friend zone because you couldn't get the guy you wanted.
He's a good guy, but once you marry him, another
guy comes along that you prefer and you're like, that's
a better option for me. I'm gonna divorce the good
(14:59):
man man go with a better man. So that doesn't
mean that the guy you married is a bad person,
that he's necessarily done anything wrong. It's just you think
you got a better option.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
Okay, that happens, That does happen.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Okay, So I think she's she's off base there. But now,
in general, I think people, men and women divorce good
people all of the time because being good doesn't mean
that the person you're married to will recognize or appreciate
your goodness. Okay, because some people don't. Some people have
(15:35):
a really good thing and don't realize it until it's gone.
We've all heard the song no, No, what you got
to it?
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Girl?
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Okay, right, please never do that again, especially while making
direct eye contact.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Yeah, that was awkward.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
I'm sorry, But my point is that you know, people
do I mean, look, I think it's a you can't
saddle somebody with Hey, if you're divorced, something wrong with you.
You can't be a good person if somebody divorced you.
I mean, you can't say that. The minds of good
people who have had people leave them fly to them,
(16:17):
cheat on them. They've been the victim of you know,
a horrible spouse doesn't make you a bad person necessarily. Okay, yeah,
do you agree.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
I mean, I'm I'm sure that that that's a thing.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
But I thought what she was getting at was like,
if it's a not.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
If it's a bad situation, if it's just a right,
there is no friendship on either end a post divorce
because somebody did something.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
Wrong, and you know that person.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Whoever, you know, whichever side that was, is probably going
to continue that habit, that personality trait, whatever that was.
Whatever happened, it's probably going to happen again in an
extra relationship.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Well, I mean it is it is fair to say
that past behavior is the best indication of future behavior
because people tend to.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
That's what I thought.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Existing. Yeah, I mean that there's that, But I do
think that this notion that because she also said that
no woman divorce is a good man, and I don't
think that's true.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Okay, all right, I.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Just don't think that's true. I think I think you
could find plenty of good men and plenty of good
women who have been left by people who did not
appreciate them or recognize their goodness. Okay, So I just
I'm not buying.
Speaker 9 (17:39):
Him be careful about dating divorce men. No woman is
divorcing a good man, especially when they have kids together. Yes,
a lot of people grow apart and it's mutual, but
the majority of the time she has divorced him for
a reason, and whatever he's done to her, he's going
to do to you.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Okay, are these statements true or false in your experience,
Nikki Drake? What are we seeing on the textual lines?
Speaker 3 (18:00):
On the textual lines, there's a lot.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
Let's see, my husband left me.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
He said I was good, but he was looking for
someone more on the bad side.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
See what I mean? See I was kind of illuding
to that, right, I mean, you might be a good
person and the person you're with either doesn't recognize that
you're good as a spouse, or they don't appreciate it,
or maybe they just want something else right, Right, They're like,
I need somebody who walks on the wild side a
(18:33):
little bit, and you're too tame for me.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
So now sure, Yeah, that happens. There's a longer explanation here,
a longer text.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Each divorce has a level of context that is not
reflected by simply calling either person good or bad, and
there's usually a lot.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Of hyperbowl and dishonesty coming from each party. Women don't
want to hear it.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
But the best way to avoid divorce is to date
for at least five years. Going to be pretty difficult
for either party to keep up an act for that
long unless the other party.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
Has a ton of money or something they want. Yeah, yeah,
for a long time.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
We have talked about that quite a bit on the
show over the years. Is the vetting process needs to
be long and thorough. Yes it does, because you can
hide crazy for a while, Yes you can, but eventually
it comes out and five years probably gonna rear its uglyhead.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Yes, I think a long courtship is the way to go.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Okay, anything else, I keep refreshing.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
So I'm having difficulties with the text life.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
He's feeling refreshed. Okay, So again listening to this woman,
I'm taking essentially two things out of it. Like I said,
she says, no woman divorce is a good man, and
we discussed how that's probably not true, and we can
offer examples of women who do divorce good men. But
then I wanted to also mention she said, the way
(19:55):
he treated his X is the way he'll treat you.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
Yeah, now that's what I've been concentrating on.
Speaker 6 (20:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Now, this is interesting to me because if you think
about relationships, a lot of times behavior in relationships is reactionary.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Okay. So he may have treated his ex poorly because
she treated him poorly maybe, and so he was just like,
I'm giving up on her, you know what, She's been
so awful to me. I'm just I'm not going to
putting more energy into this. I'm out. Well, Okay, So
let's say you marry him, but you treat him well
(20:33):
and you guys have a good relationship. He's probably gonna
treat you differently. Sure, he's probably gonna be good to you.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
I mean there is there. People grow, they're not always
the same.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Sure, but you know it is something to consider that
the past, the past actions definitely should be considered.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Yeah. Yeah, And I think you also want to be
careful about how reactionary somebody is in their treatment. Like
let's say he says, well, I cheated on her, and
you say, why did you cheat on her? He's like,
you know, she wasn't nice to me. Well, that doesn't
give you the green light to go cheat. So now
you're looking at it and thinking, well, if I marry
him and he decides that I'm not nice, he's gonna
(21:14):
go cheat. So yeah, yeah, but again within reason, you
can suss these things out. Take a few years, as
the Texter suggested, Yeah, yeah, yeah, anything you would like
to add, THINKI direct before I believe we wrap this up,
because I think we got to figure it out.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
I think I think we Oh, I think we got
another text in you. I'd like to read, I treated
my first wife like crap. I learned my lesson. I
also learned what not to do in a relationship. Now
I've been married for twenty years and they're great, and
I'm a different person.
Speaker 8 (21:46):
Do what.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
You promised.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
I did, but I couldn't help myself past actions.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
You know, have known.
Speaker 6 (21:57):
You know.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
But look, this guy is kind of making your point.
He's supporting your point. People grow and change over time.
And yeah, maybe he was married and was younger and
was a goofball and looked back on that with regret
and made the adjustment for the next one. Yep, right,
look at that. Okay. So basically, what it comes down to,
this woman who posted the original videos just wrong.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
We have spoken the nerve center of North Central West Virginia,
Jack Loger and Nikki Drake on one O two WVAQ.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
We are helping people. It's time you ask for it.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
You hor it, you asked for it.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Where you call our text in topics to the show
and we respond and then we get everyone involved. Studio
and textual lines are open eight eight eight seven, seven
seven sixty six forty call us textus at that number.
You can also text us at three five six' five to.
(23:04):
One and this, one this one is not. EASY i
don't think there is a good solution to, this but
we may be missing. Something that's why we toss out
the numbers and you tell. Us says This, texter my
Neighbor's german shepherd is lunging at our dog through our
shared backyard. Fence The german shepherd is causing the fence
(23:27):
to bode and starting to separate the. Slats what CAN
i do without causing a? Feud i'm also worried that our,
older smaller dog could get hurt if it actually makes
it through the. Fence so they need some advice. Here
some analysis of the. Situation conflict resolution is What i'm. Indicating,
(23:53):
nikki would you agree with me WHEN i say that
getting this sorted out out without causing a feud seems.
Unlikely seems very.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Unlikely, Yes i'm going to recommend immediately getting some cameras out,
back because you need video evidence first of, all.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
And photos aren't going to do. It they're gonna want video.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Evidence and whose fence is it because it is not
quote unquote, Shared which property line is that fence?
Speaker 5 (24:30):
On whose responsibility is that? Fence is it?
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Yours because if, so then they're going to owe you
for a new. Fence so you got another problem on
top of. It if it's their, fence well that's on,
them and you can't really do anything about. It you
could install your own fence on your property and then
have a second barrier.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
There so those are my.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Questions this is excellent. Analysis these are all great, Points thank,
you AND i do believe that they probably all result
in having a feud with the. Neighbors BUT i think
you're right on everything you're, saying and that all makes good.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
Sense, yeah but usually good sense doesn't work.
Speaker 8 (25:15):
Out.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Well you, know HERE'S i wonder what percentage of people are?
Unreasonable you, Know, YEAH i don't. KNOW i really don't
know the answer to. THAT i don't know how many
people are, unreasonable, sure but it seems like if you
have a dog that is lunging at the neighbor's dog
(25:37):
and busting up the fence and you are at least
oblivious to, that, yeah best case, scenario you're oblivious to.
It worst case, scenario you're aware of it and doing nothing.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
Right and how.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Could you be oblivious to it if the fence is
bowing right and it's being.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Damaged, yeah and then if the neighbor says to, you,
Hey i'm afraid your dog's going to bust through this
fence and kill my, small older, dog, Right you're probably
not going to respond well.
Speaker 5 (26:03):
To, that, Right.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
Yeah the other THING i just thought of two.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Things, actually you could set up like another small area
that's kind of like small fenced off so that your
your dog has a safe space in the backyard that's
away from that side of the.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
FENCE i don't know what the size of the yard
is or anything like. That the other thing, is do
you have AN, hoa because if that fence is.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Damaged and unsightly and whatever you, know bylaws are in YOUR,
hoa like you could report that fence and if it's.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Their fence To, well, yeah you could do, that and
also lunging dog safety, risks, right all that that. Stuff,
YEAH i, mean this is this is why you have
a hoa a hoa. Hoa they're not just there to
take your money and waste, it, right that's just one
of the services they. Provide, Okay they're trying to find
(26:58):
a solution that will not calls a feud with the.
Neighbor this is. Key this is the. Challenge So nikki
had some suggestions like putting a camera on that to record, it, yes,
yes and then perhaps building another fence on your own,
property just a little bit inside the property. Line and
(27:21):
people are responding to, that says this. TEXTER i agree
with the cameras and checking whose fence it. Is i'll
add that there are dog repellent sprays that you could
spray on the fence. Line oh, Really, OKAY i wonder
how your own dog would respond to, that, Though, well
maybe keep your dog away from it, too and then
they just don't go anywhere near each. Other, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
SO i Don't, yeah that sounds like a good.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Idea, yeah you could also hump up and poop right
on the fence. Line, yourself you can Mart, yeah and
that would send a powerful.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Message, sure just make sure the cameras are off at that, point, Right. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Yeah it keeps the neighbor's dog at, bay but also
tells the neighbor you're not someone to be trifled. With
you're nuts and you're capable of, anything so keep your.
Distance that's the MESSAGE i think it. Sends somebody also
suggested you could put up an electric fence on the
other side instead of going through the hassle of you,
(28:16):
know building a full on fence or putting in a
chain link fence and all that. Expense, sure maybe you,
know just get an electric fence around a couple of
wires there that are, electrified and if it gets, through
then you know it's probably going to stop and go
in the other direction when it gets. Shocked. Sure, yeah
works for. Cattle.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
Yeah sometimes it keeps the deer out of your garden. Too,
yeah that's.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Not a bad, idea because the way we keep deer
out of our shrubbery Is jessica puts her hair on.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
It oh, yeah that works.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Too, Yeah So i'll talk To jessica and maybe we
can get some of her discarded hair and we'll mail
that to you and you could put that in your
property line and then they'll keep The german shepherd.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
Away the sex came. IN i haven't heard of.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
This we have one of those thirty dollars devices Off
amazon that emits a super high pitched. SOUND i can
press the button from my office in the back of
my house and it shuts my dogs barking at everything
out the.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Window, OKAY i need more information on, this And i'm
apparently too lazy and we're stupid to go To amazon
and look into it. Myself will you text back and
let me know what the range is on. That, Yeah
i'm curious because that's something that could be a. SOLUTION
i have a friend and or relative who lives near
(29:36):
some people and it's basically like they're running a. Kennel,
oh these are dogs that bark NonStop all day er,
day and he is going. Nuts, sure but they're probably
a good fifty yards off of his, house AND i
just wonder if that were with the.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Ranges, yeah find one that's got a, yeah long enough.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
RANGE i offered to give him big clumps Of jessica's,
hair but he declined and.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
The mode and, well no to
Speaker 2 (30:09):
