Speaker 1: don't bring any food to the cook out. Sure, sure,

16
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: Dear Stephen Shirley, Except Carla, I'm a thirty three year

17
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: old entrepreneur and I need your advice because Labor Day

18
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: is coming soon. I live in a nice, big neighborhood

19
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: and I'm friends with everyone on my block. We're a

20
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: close knit community, and each year we have a community

21
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: outing for Labor Day at the neighborhood clubhouse. Last year,

22
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: I took two big watermelons, some ice, and two cases

23
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: of soda. Since I'm a bachelor, I'm not expected to

24
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: do much more than that. We send around a checklist

25
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: annually so we'll know who's bringing what to the party.

26
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: My next door neighbors always bring the cups, plastic ware,

27
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: and paper towels each year, but this year they signed

28
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: up to bring the potato salad and homemade coaslaw. First

29
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: of all, everyone in the neighborhood knows they have the

30
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: nastiest house on the block. They have three dogs that

31
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: have free rain in the house. Their carpet is disgusting,

32
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: and I would never eat anything they cooked. When I

33
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: go over to have a drink with the man of

34
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: the house, we either sit in the garage or out back.

35
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: I haven't been able to sit in their house for

36
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: any period of time because of the pets. Everyone feels

37
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: the same as I do, but we are all afraid

38
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: to tell the couple. I told the wife that it's

39
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: probably going to be too hot for the salads to

40
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 1: stay outside, and she said she plans to keep them

41
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: in the cooler covered up. If we avoid eating their salads.

42
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: It will be noticeable, and we don't want to hurt

43
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: anyone's feelings. I feel bad about talking about them behind

44
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: their backs, but this could be a bad situation for

45
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: us and for them. For them, Labor Day is always

46
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: a memorable weekend and I can't have barbecue without potato salad.

47
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: I need advice on how to tell them before it

48
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: becomes a big mess. Is it best to come right

49
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: out and say it? Please? Advice? Sounds like it's already

50
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: a big mess. Okay, And yeah, it's best to come

51
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: right out and say it, But you just gotta be

52
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: nice about it. I mean, I just say, if the

53
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: nasty neighbors bring the food, do not eat the food.

54
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: You can't eat this food, the nastiest house in the block. No,

55
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: you can't do it. That's it, period. Don't eat the food.

56
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: I suggest you bring your own since you can't eat barbecue,

57
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: you say without potato salad. Do you have someone in

58
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: your family or friends or something that can make good

59
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: clean house potato salad. I think you need to contact

60
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: them and just bring the stuff. Ask them to do

61
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: you a salad, take it with you and eat it

62
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: with your meal. If they ask you, just tell them

63
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: your friend made it. No other explanation necessary. This is

64
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: not a major issue to me. I think you can

65
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: handle this potato salad situation. I understand you don't want

66
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: to hurt their feelings or anything, but you don't want

67
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: to eat their their potato selling and their homemade Coast

68
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,839
Speaker 1: law either. So that's the choice you have to make.

69
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: I just say, have somebody else to make it and

70
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: just act like, you know whatever, it's been there all

71
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: the time or something. You can handle this, Steve, We

72
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: all at some point in my life have dealt with this.

73
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 1: This ain't the time to be neighborly. It's time to

74
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: be real. They live in a nice, big neighborhood. He

75
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: friends with everybody on the block, close knit community, got

76
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 1: block watch everything. They got a house and associate everybody. Cool.

77
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: They have a community outing on Labor Day at the

78
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: neighborhood club house. Oh I know this community well. Last

79
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: year I took two big wa the mellers, ice and

80
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: two cases. Solda, these are black people? Oh yeah, because

Speaker 1: tato seller has to be right? Did you hear that? No,

82
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,680

Speaker 1: afraid to tell the couple then what he tried to do?

141
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: Is he tried to tell a nasty lady, probably gonna

00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: don't want to hurt anybody's feeling. Look, you got to

150
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: hurt people. You have to hurt people. This ain't the

151
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: time to be naby. You got to hurt these people.
