00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: new area with a homeowners association and she just filled

00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: out an application to get a new paint color approved

4
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:10,080

00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 2: That's so crazy that.

00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, you would think it'd be a simple process, but no,

7
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: this HOA has been around for a long long time,

8
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: steeped in history, and if she wants to paint, she's

00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: I've tried to approach the porch seems to be garbage

18
00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: or trash on it.

19
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,639
Speaker 2: Trash, I mean, are you talking about I We've got

00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: broken down and bundled up, and.

Speaker 2: thanks for calling.

37
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, well, actually that's not the reason why I'm calling.

38
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 2: Oh goody okay.

39
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: Because apparently you submitted a request to have your house

40
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: painted a different color. Yeah. So the thing is, I'm

41
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: looking at the request sheet right now, and it says

42
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: you wanted to paint it almond wish whisper.

43
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, am I approved?

44
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: I could say, well, I personally like that color. It's

45
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 1: not in the list of approved colors.

46
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: I looked at the HOA section about house paint, and

47
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 2: I know I didn't see any list.

48
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: The thing is, we do have a list, but okay, great,

49
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: we just don't show it to anyone. Fabulous.

50
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 2: How do I get a hold of the list.

51
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: You can't.

52
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: I can't.

53
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: That's the whole point. We keep it in a safe

54
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: every single night. And if someone ever requests the color

55
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: that's not on the list, then sorry, can't approve it.

56
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 2: Okay, So am I supposed to be putting in an

57
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: application for every possible color and.

58
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: Just hope it's on the list, Rosie. That just sounds ridiculous.

59
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 2: I agree. So let's get to the point here, Mark,

60
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 2: what can I do?

61
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: I just hope you understand the sanctity of our bylaws

62
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: because my grandfather's grandfather grew up in this community and

63
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 1: he actually wrote them himself and it hasn't changed by

64
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: You should know he had polio well.

65
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 2: But apparently polio didn't keep him from keeping that family LINEO.

66
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: And yeah, he was an active bugger with many women

67
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: in this community. It was a very friendly neighborhood back then.

68
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 2: Speaking of Witch, how do we move forward and get

69
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: my house painted? That's all I need to do right now, Mark.

70
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: Plus I do have to take care of that trash

71
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: and do it all before my kids wake up, So please, Well.

72
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: With my grandfather's grandfather, when it came to his colors,

73
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: he treated them like his corn chowder recipes. He liked

74
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: it under lock and key.

75
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: How about corn chowder?

76
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: I like yellow with yellow is not on the list myself.

77
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 2: Okay, brown.

78
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: Before you start just guessing and naming a bunch of colors,

79
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: here's what I can do. You tell me a color

80
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: that you want to paint your house, okay, and I

81
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: can tell you warmer or colder.

82
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 2: Oh, boys can play a little game here.

83
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: Okay, it's a community tradition.

84
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 2: Okay. My second choice is mother of pearl.

85
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: Ooh, not approved, but warmer, I could say.

86
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 2: Warmer, okay, but warmer. How about an oatmeal beige? How

87
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 2: about that?

88
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: Your ice cold with that one?

89
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: Oh God, no to oatmeal. I mean, I really it's

90
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 2: not my favorite.

91
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: But brolap oh scorching, scorching.

92
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, so brilliant.

93
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: No, that's not approved. It's just very hot.

94
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 2: Mark. I don't know what else to do here. I

95
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 2: can't keep naming colors.

96
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: Okay. I'm just going to toss out an idea here.

97
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: It might be totally crazy. What if what else is?

98
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: What if you keep it the same color as it is?

99
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 2: You don't want to keep it the same color as

100
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 2: it is. We bought the house with the understanding that

101
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 2: we could change the color.

102
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 1: The thing is, I actually used to live in that house.

103
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: And I picked that color.

104
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: Well, you know what, maybe it worked for you, but

105
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 2: it's not working for us. And I don't understand why

106
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 2: we have to keep a color that your great great

107
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 2: grandpa they're scribbled out while he's still at polio, and

108
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: you grew to love that color. How does that mean

109
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 2: we have to live with the same color.

110
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: Well, it was my great great grandfather's favorite color, and

111
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: I like to keep the memory of him alive.

112
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 2: Well, then why don't you just buy the house from

113
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 2: us and move back in.

114
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 1: Why would I have to do that? Whenever you guys

115
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: go on vacation, I can just sleep there. That's written

116
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: into the bylaws. I'm allowed to do that.

117
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 2: Did your great grandfather put that one in their tunity?

118
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: Kind of just crawl over with his polio and just

119
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: move into anybody's house whenever he damn?

120
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: Wells okay, I'll.

121
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 2: Have you not.

122
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: My great great grandfather is not a real person, so

123
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: i'd appreciate it if you didn't talk poorly about him

124
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: during this prank phone call. Thanks. What, Yeah, I'm not

125
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: actually with the HOA. I'm with a radio show called

126
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: Brook and Jeffrey. In the morning. Your husband Grayson sets

127
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: you up for a phone tap.

128
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 2: Oh my god, are you hiding me?

129
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: Grayson said, both of you couldn't believe how big the

130
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: list of HOA bylaws were.

131
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it looks like an old session encyclopedia.

132
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta give my great great grandfather credit.

133
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: He was thorough.

134
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 2: Oh he was a plucky guy.

135
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: That's plucky is one of the approved colors.

136
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 2: Hey, hey, there you go.

137
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,080
