I have seen 270 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 4: that it coals as well, especially one on Swan Street 271 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 4: in Richmond. If you live in Melbourne, they do. I 272 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 4: believe it's a dollar fifty or two dollars max for an. 273 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 2: Arm is still going to be an absolute stan of 274 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,199 Speaker 2: the Seven eleven coffee. 275 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 4: Totally because they do do soy milk. 276 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 2: They just have They've nailed it. 277 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,679 Speaker 4: Yes, they have old milk, regular milk, everything.

There were pancakes earlier too. I don't 348 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 2: think we missed those. 349 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 4: But what I have found is if you go to 350 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 4: muff and Break before they close, maybe like thirty Gonna. 351 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 2: Getsh didn't know muff and Breaks still existed. 352 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 5: I know. 353 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 2: That's the other thing too, is that the sorry muff 354 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 2: and Break. 355 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 4: They're hard to come by now, but I am sure, 356 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 4: I like, I know this for a fact.

Now, let's take a 400 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 6: listen to this week's money dilemma. 401 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 7: Hi, I've got a question. I've got really really bad 402 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 7: neighbors living in next door to my house. They're in 403 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:49,880 Speaker 7: commission housing. I've tried multiple things to try to get 404 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 7: them evicted. It's really a planing on my mental health 405 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 7: and fear for my safety. I bought this house, but 406 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 7: now I'm not sure if I should sell. I'll probably 407 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 7: have to say self for a loss. I spent a 408 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,919 Speaker 7: lot of money on renovations. Do you know changing up 409 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 7: this house? Should I just cut my losses or and sell? 410 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 7: Or do I just keep trying to, you know, fight 411 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 7: my neighbors and try to take them to court? 412 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 4: Thank you, jeez, Louise, Well, that is such a good question. 413 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 4: I have a colleague in this exact situation. 414 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 2: We're missing so much context. I just I feel like 415 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,360 Speaker 2: there's always three sides to a story. There's like their side, 416 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 2: your side, and the truth. And I'm not saying that 417 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 2: you're not telling the truth, but like we don't have 418 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 2: any conflict, why would you take them to court? Like 419 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,639 Speaker 2: we need some we need the juice, Like what have 420 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,120 Speaker 2: they done so that we can have an opinion? What's 421 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:40,199 Speaker 2: going on with your colleague though? 422 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 4: Back So it's a very very similar situation. My colleague 423 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,199 Speaker 4: just brought her, I believed, like a little unit in 424 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 4: like a block of units, and her downstairs neighbor is 425 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:53,399 Speaker 4: like really causing her a lot of trouble. And that's 426 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 4: sometimes she actually is as well scared for her safety, 427 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 4: but she doesn't like she doesn't really know what to do. 428 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 2: And this is and so also I don't know when 429 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 2: you buy a property what the neighbors are. You just 430 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,120 Speaker 2: don't know. And I also don't know. 431 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 4: I don't have advice for this because I would be 432 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,400 Speaker 4: completely stuck. I guess, I guess, cell but I don't 433 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 4: know anything, so don't listen to me. But no, she's 434 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 4: in the exact same situation, and it's really weighing on 435 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 4: her mental health, and unfortunately it's such a tricky one 436 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,400 Speaker 4: because you just I don't know where you'd go from here. 437 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 4: But I'm hoping you guys have more advised because I'm 438 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 4: being useless. 439 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 2: Yess. 440 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, I just want to say I'm really sorry for 441 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,159 Speaker 5: our listener, because buying a property is so excited and 442 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 5: I can only imagine the joy and the pride that 443 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 5: you would have felt buying this house and then moving in, 444 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 5: and then to go through whatever experience you're going through. 445 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 5: Nobody should ever ever feel unsafe in their own home, 446 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 5: and I can only imagine how hard that is and 447 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 5: how it would have ruined what should be such a 448 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 5: fantastic and exciting time for you. So I'm really sorry 449 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 5: that that is the case. It's just awful. I think 450 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 5: it's hard to say because obviously, if you're selling because 451 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 5: of the location that you know, you're not necessarily looking 452 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 5: at the ideal timing of the market. And if you 453 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 5: purchase recently, you might have to if you use any grants, 454 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 5: you might have to pay those back, depending on if 455 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 5: you're a first home buyer, and there's all of those 456 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 5: I guess financial considerations. But at the same time, I 457 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 5: might gut instinct, which again may not be the most logical, 458 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 5: but is just your safety needs to always be your 459 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 5: number one priority. And if you're saying that you're concerned 460 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 5: for that, that makes me concerned for you. It sounds 461 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 5: like she's tried to go through some form of official channel. 462 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,239 Speaker 5: I'm assuming that's what she meant when she said that 463 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 5: she's tried to get the neighbor evicted. And without the 464 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 5: context of what they're doing, we can't really provide any 465 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 5: insight into what channels you can go through, like I'm assuming, 466 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 5: if they're doing something illegal, or if they're threatening you 467 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,120 Speaker 5: in some way, if you haven't speak to the police, 468 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,640 Speaker 5: you know, I would say, maintain a chain of records. 469 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 5: So it might feel really futile to keep reporting the 470 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 5: same thing, but sometimes, unfortunately the system can work in 471 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 5: a way where you need a certain amount of proof 472 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 5: or a certain historical record of things occurring regularly or frequently. 473 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,400 Speaker 5: So even if it feels like you're getting nowhere, continue 474 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 5: reporting to whatever the relevant body may be, whether it's 475 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,640 Speaker 5: you know, if they're renters, reporting it to their landlord 476 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 5: or their property manager if you can find that out, or. 477 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 3: To the police. 478 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 5: Or to whoever the I don't know, we don't know 479 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,640 Speaker 5: the context, so it's hard to say where. But if 480 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 5: you can keep making reports above and beyond, all make 481 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 5: sure that you're safe. I would say, if you haven't, 482 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,679 Speaker 5: maybe pop some security cameras in. 483 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 2: I was about to say the same, like, have you 484 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,640 Speaker 2: got security cameras? Are you looking after your safety? 485 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 3: Yeah? 486 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,479 Speaker 2: Right now? Because like moving, it's a privilege, right, Like 487 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 2: you've probably just spent every single cent you have on 488 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,360 Speaker 2: this property. You probably can't just be like, oh, I'll 489 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 2: just go rent somewhere else, Like you're right, Jess, Like 490 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,400 Speaker 2: what are you doing? Document? Document? Document, I'd be calling 491 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 2: the cops. I'd be getting everybody involved, to be honest. 492 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, And you can get really on the security camera thing. 493 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 5: You can get really affordable. I know I even when 494 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 5: I was renting, I purchased ring. You can get them 495 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,159 Speaker 5: on sale, usually at Bunnings or on Amazon, and you 496 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 5: don't have to hardwire them in. So if you don't 497 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 5: have the cash to get something installed that's really heavy duty, 498 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,919 Speaker 5: you can get ones that you just screw into the 499 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 5: wall with some screws and bolts, and sometimes even just 500 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,679 Speaker 5: the presence of cameras can be enough to deter people 501 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 5: from doing things that are a little bit sketchy, and 502 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,679 Speaker 5: you can get ones that go inside your property too, 503 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 5: if that will make you feel more secure and safe. 504 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:31,719 Speaker 3: But it is. 505 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 5: You're right, it's such a hard one because you don't 506 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 5: I mean, partly because we don't have the context, but 507 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 5: also because it's a rock and a hard place between. 508 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 5: Your safety should be your priority, but also like from 509 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 5: a financial perspective, just up and selling may or may 510 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,160 Speaker 5: not from a financial angle, be the best choice. 511 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's so hard. 512 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 5: But I just want to say I feel very sympathetic 513 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 5: and I'm really sorry that you're struggling with this, because 514 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 5: like the three of us are kind of struggling to 515 00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 5: come up which to ourselves. 516 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:01,919 Speaker 4: I do just want to say one quick thing though, 517 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 4: I guess if like obviously again like we don't really 518 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 4: have context, but if I feel sorry for the listener here, 519 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:10,880 Speaker 4: I also kind of feel as though the neighbors themselves 520 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 4: if you get like the idea, like maybe the feeling 521 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 4: that they don't they don't have the I guess like 522 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 4: means to be living anywhere else or be able to 523 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 4: like if them getting evicted means that they become homeless 524 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 4: or something. I kind of also feel for them as well. 525 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 4: Maybe they didn't have the best upbringing, that's what's causing 526 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 4: their behavior or whatever it might be, you know what 527 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 4: I mean. I just want to also take a minute 528 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 4: to acknowledge that bad neighbors also may have a bad 529 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 4: story behind them or maybe in a tough situation, and 530 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,639 Speaker 4: we don't actually always know, and you know, and I 531 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 4: do feel really awful for people out there that had 532 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 4: their future written for them before they were even born, 533 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 4: if that makes sense. I just want to take time 534 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 4: to acknowledge that. But I also feel really bad for 535 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 4: you listener. It's a very tricky situation. 536 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 3: Same neighbors as well. 537 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 5: Actually made me think of one other thing, which is 538 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 5: if you haven't spoken to your neighbors because you're a block, 539 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 5: speak to your neighbors because maybe they are taking steps, 540 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,199 Speaker 5: maybe they're not taking steps. Sometimes if everybody bands together 541 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 5: like that can also be very impactful. They see what 542 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 5: they're doing, see if they've got any more information. The 543 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 5: safety in numbers too, So keeping an eye on your neighbors, 544 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 5: them keeping an eye out for you. It can be 545 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 5: nice just knowing that that's there for you, like your 546 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 5: other neighbors, not the bad neighbors obviously, but yeah, it's 547 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 5: it's such a hard one. I feel like I really 548 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 5: don't have a good answer. 549 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 2: I don't either, because there's no like perfect outcome here. 550 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 2: I mean, perfect outcome would be your neighbors move away, slay, 551 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 2: but that's probably not gonna happen. I had terrible neighbors 552 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 2: before I moved where I have moved to, and I 553 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 2: feel like I put that on the podcast a lot. Yes, 554 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 2: like they were horrendous, Like we're not talking like, oh, 555 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,159 Speaker 2: I just didn't like these people. They would yell and 556 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 2: scream at us. They would like literally like I had 557 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 2: called the cops on them a number of times because 558 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 2: it was actually so unhinged. And whenever I'd tell people 559 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 2: the stories, they'd be like, what, like if you're a 560 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 2: close friend of mine, you know, and you've heard the 561 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,400 Speaker 2: horror story anyway, so I so get it. We ended 562 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 2: up having the privilege of being able to move away 563 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 2: because that was a rental. But you know, if you're 564 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 2: not comfortable there, I would be looking at ways that 565 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 2: you can leave. Can you rent out the property, like 566 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 2: just because you spent a lot and renovated. It doesn't 567 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 2: mean you need to dispose of that asset either, Like 568 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 2: what can you do? How can this work? But yeah, 569 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 2: I'd go back to literally everything just said, like document everything, 570 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 2: call the cops when anything goes wrong, Like protect yourself 571 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 2: and put some cameras up, take photos of everything, make 572 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 2: sure it's really well documented. And if you can find 573 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 2: out who their landlord is, provide that to them and 574 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 2: work out what next steps would be from there, because 575 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 2: that's just not fair. 576 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's such a hard place and we're sorry going 577 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 5: through that. Ye, please be safe above everything else. That's 578 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 5: all I can really. 579 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, and if they are renting, a little sneaky tip 580 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,439 Speaker 2: that I learned when I had bad neighbors is google 581 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 2: their address and it will usually come up with you know, 582 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 2: like the old real state, dot com, dot au listing 583 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,199 Speaker 2: and will have the real estate agent who listed it. 584 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 2: You can call them and say, hey, do you still 585 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 2: you know manage one, two, three Boring Street and they'll 586 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,199 Speaker 2: be like yeah, we do, and you go great, I 587 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 2: have a whole heap of stuff that's going to be 588 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 2: really interesting for you guys and the landlord, Like, you 589 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 2: don't even need to put me in contact with the landlord. 590 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 2: I just want to be able to provide this information 591 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 2: because you know, obviously they think they're getting away with it. Yeah, anyway, 592 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 2: that's me throwing other people under a bus. Let's move on, though, 593 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 2: because we have a community DM which I would be 594 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 2: really annoyed about this, So let's read it out. Hi, 595 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 2: she's on the money. I've got a bit of a 596 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 2: random question. If a friend asks to leave their stuff 597 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 2: at your house while they go one a three month 598 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 2: overseas holiday, should you charge them rent for keeping their stuff? 599 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 2: To this date, they still haven't booked a return flight, 600 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 2: and they've been gone since November twenty twenty three. They 601 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 2: stayed at my house for a couple of nights prior 602 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 2: to their flight, and I even drove them to the 603 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,119 Speaker 2: city to catch the skybus to the airport. I've not 604 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 2: received a single dollar from this person. I wouldn't say 605 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 2: that they are a super close friend, but I've known 606 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 2: them since July last year. I am doing them a 607 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 2: huge favor storing their stuff at my house in my 608 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 2: spare room. Their stuff includes their bike in my garage, 609 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 2: several helmets, shoes and boots, a laptop, clothes, cooking and 610 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,679 Speaker 2: groceries which are currently in my fridge and things like 611 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 2: snacks and toilet paper that are currently sitting in my cupboards. 612 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 2: What would you do and how would you go about 613 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 2: asking for money if they don't come back? Do I 614 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 2: have a right to sell all this stuff? 615 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 3: Interesting? 616 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 2: Interesting? This has gone real deep, real quick, Like you're 617 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 2: asking if you have a right to sell this stuff, 618 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 2: but you've. 619 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 3: Gone very weirdly. 620 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 2: Have you had a conversation with this person? Like why 621 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,199 Speaker 2: are you asking me if you have a right to 622 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 2: sell someone's stuff before asking them when they're returning. 623 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 5: Which, by the way, abandoned property is I think like 624 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 5: a six month rule after you have contacted the relevant party. 625 00:27:58,200 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 2: Oh I see, I see, I see. 626 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a true I think personally, I it depends. 627 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 4: I guess how much space this is taking up. It 628 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 4: doesn't sound like it's taking up a whole lot of space, 629 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 4: but it's also like if it's like a one bedroom 630 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 4: apartment or a share house, it could be you know, 631 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 4: that's you know, a very crucial amount of space that 632 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 4: you could be using for other things. So I totally 633 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 4: get that. I guess my thing is if you hadn't 634 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 4: had a conversation ahead of time about them paying for 635 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 4: like storage fees. I guess you'd call it then I 636 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 4: wouldn't expect any money. If I had this conversation ahead 637 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 4: of time and I wasn't expecting storage fees, I wouldn't 638 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 4: be then expecting storage fees in three, four or five months, 639 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,199 Speaker 4: no matter how long they took. Really, I guess like 640 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 4: they're outliving their best. But I think if you had 641 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 4: that in mind already, that you were going to get 642 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 4: storage fees, maybe there were some sort of conversation and 643 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 4: I would like that context but totally find that is 644 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 4: a bit of a tricky one. But I guess at 645 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 4: this point if you hadn't discussed it, I wouldn't expect it. Yeah, 646 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 4: maybe they maybe have a conversation. 647 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 5: Which yeah, like did was there a conversation at the 648 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 5: start around how long you were holding their stuff? 649 00:28:59,320 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 1: For? 650 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 2: Three months? 651 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 3: So I think, and well, so they've just hit the 652 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 3: three month mark. 653 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 5: Yeah really, So I feel like, if anything, just dropping 654 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 5: the message and saying, hey, like, I know when we 655 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 5: first chatted, you said about three months. We've just recently 656 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 5: you know, I've got a dog, my partner's like, any 657 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 5: excuse that you can think of. 658 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 2: You don't even need an excuse. So I'm just wondering 659 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 2: when you're coming to gather stuff. 660 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 5: Like well, yeah, or if you want to be a 661 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 5: bit softer, I yes, you could just say, oh, I 662 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 5: really need the space, so we can't hold it for 663 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 5: too much longer. When do you want to come and 664 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 5: grab it? And so then the option is either they go, 665 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 5: oh my god, I can't come back, and you go, okay, 666 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,719 Speaker 5: would you like me to sell it? Would you like 667 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 5: to pay for a storage facility? You know, here are 668 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 5: a few different options for you. But I think like 669 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 5: you've really jumped the gun on can I sell this stuff? 670 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 3: Can I? 671 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 5: You know, it sounds like you're kind of just coming 672 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 5: to be weird. It's going to be weird, And I 673 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 5: think like, maybe you're feeling weird because they haven't communicated 674 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 5: with you, which I totally understand. But I think, like, 675 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 5: if they haven't communicated with you, let's like put our 676 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 5: big girl pants on and we'll start the communication, which 677 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 5: I know is out answer a lot of the time communicate, 678 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 5: but you'd be surprised any things you can fix by 679 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 5: having a simple and kind conversation. So I think just 680 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 5: like bringing it up me like Hey, Like, I I know, 681 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 5: we said three months. It's been about three months. I 682 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 5: can't of need the space, So what's the go Yeah. 683 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 2: I think given the diversity of the stuff that they've 684 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 2: left at your house, it tells me that you consented 685 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 2: to this at the start, Like they didn't just come 686 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 2: to your house before they went to the airport and 687 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 2: accidentally leave some stuff and then they're like, oh sorry, 688 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 2: I'll get it when i'm home, and it was a 689 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 2: bit awkward, Like you've got a bike, you've got a laptop, 690 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 2: you've got their shoes, you've got random things in your 691 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 2: house that are theirs. So I'm assuming that you said, yeah, yeah, 692 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 2: you can leave them at my house for now. What 693 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 2: you're now telling me is that your expectations have changed. 694 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 2: But I'm assuming you haven't communicated those expectation changes, and 695 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 2: maybe you're a little bit frustrated with it now because 696 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 2: you might not have thought about charging them at the start, 697 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 2: and then you're like, hold on, she could have put 698 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 2: in storage and she'd have to pay for this. So 699 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 2: I feel like you need to have a conversation about like, hey, 700 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 2: when are you coming back, Like when you say they 701 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 2: still haven't booked a return flight. Does that mean you're 702 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 2: in communications? Or we're guessing, like have they actually what 703 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 2: does that mean? So I would literally just be like, hey, 704 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 2: you just wanted to check in. When are you coming home? 705 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 2: For a starter, And then they might say, oh my gosh, 706 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 2: like we haven't booked flights, but we need to in 707 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 2: the next week. We've been putting it off. Or they 708 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 2: might say, oh my gosh, we're loving it. We're going 709 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 2: to stay here another month and a half, at which 710 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 2: point you go, cool, what are we going to do 711 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 2: about your stuff? Like, there's stuff in my house.

I don't know what it is about 719 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 2: this message, and I'm sorry to the person who has 720 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 2: written this in but I find it very strange that 721 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 2: you are going from going yep, cool, I let them 722 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 2: keep their stuff. Also, should I be charging them? We'll 723 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 2: have a chat with them about that, but also can 724 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 2: I sell their stuff? Like oh, I. 725 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 3: Don't escalated quickly. 726 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 2: I know, Like Jesse, if I asked to leave my 727 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 2: bike at your place because I was traveling and it 728 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 2: was all Riggie did and you were like, oh, yeah, 729 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 2: they you can leave it in my garage, I just 730 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 2: would have thought it was fine because you're one of 731 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 2: my girlfriends, and yeah, my bike's just in your garage. 732 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 2: I'm not worried that you're going to sell it. And 733 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 2: then that just is another layer of like imagine if 734 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 2: I came home and said, hey, Jess, can I come 735 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 2: get my bike and just is like I saw it.

A good question. 761 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:21,480 Speaker 3: Whateveryone else say? 762 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 2: Obviously, we asked some questions because if anything, we need 763 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 2: the drama. He said, do you think that you can 764 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,479 Speaker 2: charge rent for this? Forty two percent said yes, but 765 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 2: fifty eight percent of you said no. We said, do 766 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 2: you think it's okay to sell this stuff? If the 767 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 2: person doesn't return after a certain amount of time, twenty 768 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 2: two percent of you said, yeah, they abandoned the stuff there. 769 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 2: Twenty two percent. 770 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 3: If you need to call your friend, I don't know it, 771 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 3: I would say abandoned. 772 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, if they ghost you and it's there for like 773 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 4: two years. 774 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 5: Like if you've tried to message them several times and 775 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 5: they haven't. Then yeah, okay, maybe. 776 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 2: But you're ghosted. Absolutely different story. But you're telling me 777 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 2: that this friend doesn't have flights booked to come home, 778 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 2: and that tells me that you've been in communication with them. 779 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,719 Speaker 2: So maybe I'm reading a little bit too much into it, 780 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 2: but I feel a little bit weird about it. But 781 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 2: seventy eight percent of you said no, they trusted you 782 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:17,359 Speaker 2: to keep their stuff safe, which I'm on that age. 783 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,239 Speaker 2: I agree. We said, if you said yes to selling 784 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 2: their stuff, how long do you have to have it 785 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,440 Speaker 2: before you sell it? Ten percent of you said three months? 786 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 2: And it's sold three months. I'm screwed. But like, what 787 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 2: the hell that was? That was the expectation my friend 788 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 2: actually set with. 789 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 5: You to the day, Like it is July sixth th 790 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 5: they at two pm. 791 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,919 Speaker 3: It's officially been three months. See you later. I watching 792 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:41,319 Speaker 3: the clocks. 793 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 2: Did your friends say you could sell the stuff after 794 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 2: three I'm so confused. Twenty two percent of you said 795 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:50,880 Speaker 2: six months. I would say fair. If they have fully 796 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:54,640 Speaker 2: ghosted you and we have had absolutely no communication, and 797 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:59,279 Speaker 2: you have tried to reach out to them via Facebook, messenger, Instagram, 798 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 2: text message, WhatsApp, an email, and you've done all of 799 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 2: this and heard nothing back. Then okay, sure, And then 800 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 2: sixty eight percent of you said after a year again, 801 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 2: I'm assuming if they have been ghosted, not like they 802 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 2: haven't still away. In the spicy bit, we asked, well, 803 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 2: what's your two cents? And here are some of the responses. 804 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 2: Someone said, you should have worked out rent prior. If 805 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 2: you want rent now, you need to communicate that. Agree, 806 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:26,320 Speaker 2: this is a very surprising response. Someone said, that's something 807 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 2: you should have discussed beforehand. I think you're the drama. 808 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 3: Oh am, I the drama. 809 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,880 Speaker 2: But like, yeah, I also think you're being the drama. 810 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:38,279 Speaker 3: I kind of agree a little bit. 811 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 2: Someone said the timeline should have been clearly communicated. A 812 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:45,840 Speaker 2: friend isn't just a free storage shed. Someone said, don't 813 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 2: offer to help a friend if you're expecting something in return. 814 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 4: Took a point, sure, yes, sure, yes, that's literally my thought, like, 815 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:54,840 Speaker 4: did you offer this? 816 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 2: Did you say, oh, I've got a spare room you 817 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,360 Speaker 2: can put it in. Yeah, because I would not immediately 818 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 2: expect if you said, oh, V you can put in 819 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,319 Speaker 2: my spare room. I wouldn't be like, okay, so what's 820 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 2: the rent on? That, But it's just not how the 821 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 2: communications go, right. It's all about the tone of that 822 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 2: conversation exactly. You don't go, hey, Beck, do you want 823 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,759 Speaker 2: to come down to my place for the weekend to 824 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,680 Speaker 2: be really good? And you go yeah, I'd love that, vee, 825 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:19,560 Speaker 2: and I go yes. So it's one hundred bucks a night. Yeah. 826 00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:24,399 Speaker 2: Also there's a service fee anyway. Weird. So someone else said, 827 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,440 Speaker 2: it doesn't sound like that much stuff. I think you 828 00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:30,680 Speaker 2: might be being a little bit over dramatic, gentle. Gentle, right, 829 00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:31,480 Speaker 2: I'm just reading. 830 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 3: Other people's everyone's safe. 831 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 2: Today, doesn't feel that safe. Someone said you need to 832 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 2: communicate with your friend and ask when they're back, Otherwise 833 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:42,799 Speaker 2: it would be very fair of you to ask them 834 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,000 Speaker 2: to sort another storage option. Yeah, I think that's fair. 835 00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,400 Speaker 2: They said, why did you bother saying yes? If this 836 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,279 Speaker 2: is how you feel, you should have said no from 837 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,480 Speaker 2: the start, which I think is very fair. Someone said 838 00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 2: eat their groceries. 839 00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:01,000 Speaker 5: Honestly, like unless they're like really really old, in which 840 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:01,719 Speaker 5: case maybe don't. 841 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,319 Speaker 2: Yeah. Someone else said, a friend left his couch at 842 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,440 Speaker 2: my place when he moved overseas. It's now my couch. 843 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 4: Money in that's the other thing, like when does it 844 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:14,560 Speaker 4: become your own property after you've communicated, after you community. 845 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,560 Speaker 4: Absolutely everything's after communication. 846 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 2: So someone else said, you're a bad person if you 847 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,319 Speaker 2: go and sell their things without communicating. 848 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got to kind of agree with them. 849 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:23,239 Speaker 2: Yeah. 850 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:23,480 Speaker 4: Sure. 851 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 2: Someone said take the food, use the toilet paper. That 852 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 2: stuff's getting lucrative, and then at least you've sort of 853 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:29,560 Speaker 2: got something out of this. 854 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:33,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, use to I reckon, use the toilet paper. That's fine. 855 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,280 Speaker 2: I just don't know why the toilet paper's gone into storage. 856 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 2: So true, it doesn't make sense to me. But most 857 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:46,320 Speaker 2: of the other conversations are literally communicate with your friend, 858 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,600 Speaker 2: Like I can't tell you how many of them are, 859 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,680 Speaker 2: Like why haven't you asked them? Why haven't you spoken 860 00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:52,640 Speaker 2: to them? Why haven't you communicated? You need to have 861 00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 2: clearer communication. So you think that's going to be the 862 00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:58,360 Speaker 2: main takeaway from this is that you need to step 863 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,720 Speaker 2: up and have a good conversation with your friend about 864 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 2: when they're going to come back and what your expectations are, 865 00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 2: even if those expectations have changed totally. You can set 866 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,440 Speaker 2: your own boundaries. It's not up to us to say, oh, 867 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,760 Speaker 2: I wouldn't do that, or I wouldn't do this. That's fine, 868 00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:13,000 Speaker 2: but you have to communicate it. 869 00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 4: Also, if the listener is listening, please give us an update. 870 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:18,360 Speaker 4: I actually really really invested. 871 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, can we have photos of this stuff? 872 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:21,759 Speaker 3: Well, let you know if we get an update. 873 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 2: Can you show us what groceries they left? I feel 874 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:25,319 Speaker 2: like it's strange she. 875 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:26,960 Speaker 4: Was the toils paper two. I'm curious about the TWI 876 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:27,719 Speaker 4: was it. 877 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,160 Speaker 3: Like an unopened roll or something. 878 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 4: Who gives a crap that it can be a little 879 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:33,200 Speaker 4: bit expensive? 880 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 2: I get some all right. I think that's all we 881 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 2: have time for today, guys, which is very sad because 882 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 2: it is my last episode before I go on Matt leave. 883 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,359 Speaker 2: So instead of saying we'll see you on Monday, bright 884 00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,880 Speaker 2: and early for our money, dret which we will because 885 00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,080 Speaker 2: I've pre recorded all of them.
