Yeah. So we were thinking back about our craziest deal showings over the years. I would say showings. Yeah, we were talking about just different showings. I have some deals. I have some like, even just some crazy ones. My husband is a builder. You know, investment side is crazy as well.

So I have some funny stories from that I can share too. I do too. So. You go for his case. I'll talk about that today. My craziest, it's now funny, it was not funny at the time for me or Matt Harmon. Well, Matt Harmon's not photographer. I got a listing.

Clients actually still a client of mine. He is one of my biggest clients, actually. So he had his house and he's like, I need you to sell this house. and I was like, okay. And that's pretty much all he said. So I went and visited it. I was like, oh, okay. This is going to be interesting.

I've got to get creative, but we can do this. This house had two peacocks, six ducks. I don't know how many cats. Ten dogs. You name an animal this house had it. So with animals, if you don't take care of them, we all know, fleas come. somebody's talking about it comes in and he comes running down the steps and he's like get out get out get out

he was covered in police but then it was too late for me so I learned two things from this experience a keep a spare set of clothes in your car you keep a garbage bag in your car luckily I had the bag because I used to teach school and I had all these random bags in the back of my trunk I don't ask why, but I'm not really sure. I wouldn't have a reason for it. I just had a bunch of bags. So I was able to put my clothes on and ran home basically in my own niece. Keep the piece from invading my car. Yeah, I've pretty much learned I have this whole like big catty thing in the back of my car all for like real estate stuff. I've got like the osium spray in there for houses like I've got toilet paper because we all know.

You go do an open house and you like never get. There's more toilet paper or paper towel. Yeah. So I keep toilet paper on me, paper towels, trash bags. What else? I keep a mace gun, little mace thing on me for, I don't like, you know, squatters or, you know, whatever. Oh, that's another story. I can tell a squatter story.

What else do I keep in there? I keep like I keep measuring tapes, hands in a tape. I keep deodorant. It's a good one. I haven't thought about that one. That's just for every day. Because sometimes I'll walk out and like, deodorant on and I'm not about to go through this whole day. We live in our cars. I mean.

Yeah. I literally have a steering, like a little dust thing that hooks up onto your steering well. So I can, if I need to write offers or like if I'm eating lunch in my car. You need to send this link. Yeah, I'll drop the Amazon link for sure. Gosh, I'm like, what else do I keep in my car? Lock boxes. Always got an extra sign.

Yeah. I keep an under contract one too. Yeah, extra chargers of all types. Yep. All kinds of things. Yeah, extra pairs of shoes, just like random tennis shoes that I have. People always are like, do you want to drive? And I'm like, well, if we're carrying luggage, it's not going to work.

I've got, because I keep my boxes of, like, gifts and stuff, because I take my cups and all my. Yes. What do you call it? Not souvenirs. They're not souvenirs. What are they called? Like souvenir cups, yeah, like the plastic cups?

There's souvenir cups, but what do we call them? The things would give away, like gifts. Oh, like merch? Yeah, merch. Yeah, merch cups. Yeah, merch. I was like, yeah. Hey, souvenir.

I've visited Casey Stairs. Yeah. I keep a big box of those and my coosies and all kinds of things too in my car. I love it. I do always keep a coozy in my car too I don't know why, in a bottle opener. It's just not meant for a ton of other people. The back seat's usually empty. The front seat usually has Rocky's car seat

in my name. It's a whole nine. That's so funny. Okay, so one time one time I was showing a commercial property with one of my friends, downtown San Angelo, and downtown San Angelo is not the safest. But like, you know, I walk around there by myself all the time, like, no big deal. But we were going to show a vacant retail spot. She's a boutique owner. And her, thank God, her husband came with us.

I don't think anything probably would have happened. but and I say this all the time like I need to really get more used to handling a gun you know I don't know I've ran into like squatters and random pit bulls not that I'm I'm not biased against pit bulls but like I've or it could just be any random dog that looks like me yeah we walk into this building and we're like walking around like oh this looks great, whatever. In the back, there's a squatter. And he, like, we turned the corner and he's sitting there just, like, you could tell he was trying to be quiet and hoping that we wouldn't see him. And he's just like, deer in the headlights. And it's like this huge guy. And we're like,

what? Like freak out. And he's like, oh, like freaks out because we freak out. He's like, don't go to cops. And we're like, just get out. We won't. Yeah. Thank God. Like we had her, my friend's husband, who's also a big guy in there with us, but like, you should never know, like, or what, you know, I've heard stories of like, you know, squatters going crazy on you or whatever. That happened to me at a house. I went in and my clients were from Charlotte, so I was facetiming them and I was walking

around from room to room and I was in the master bedroom in the back. You know, a sudden a hand grabs me. and I scream and my clients are like, are you okay? And I'm like, who are you to the guy? And he's like, who are you? Why are you in my house? And I'm like, it clearly was a vacant house. Nobody lived there.

Yeah. So he's coming towards me. So I take off running and called the agent and said, the key's in the front door. And he goes, you're about the fifth person to get grabbed in this house. I think I need to do something about it. How about one? That would be fabulous, like something in the MLS.

So, I mean, anything. Yeah, get that better. Then like me being grabbed like that. And after that, my friend, Officer Hopkins, he was like, you don't need Mace because most of the times people that you're in a Mace, they're used to it. You, on the other hand, is not. I heard that. And it just puts you more liability. So he handed me a knife instead.

it. Okay, so a knife. Oh, God, but still, I'm like, I don't even know that I told. I don't know if I should say this on hearing out, but I'm going to because it's done and that was at least eight years ago. I went to the RTAU airport with that police knife. Forgot it was in my purse because I'd done showings the day before. Oops. And I was flying to Atlanta for a shower and really forgot about it. They just make you throw it away, right? Well, they didn't know. I flew all the way to Atlanta with it.

They didn't catch it. I come back to Atlanta airport and they're like, ma'am, where I need you to step aside? And I'm like, why? I got my purse. Like, I didn't have luggage or anything. It was literally there and black in the same day. And they're like, she has a knife. I was like, oh, God, I do have a knife.

You can't give it. You can give it. And they're like, what does I have to do with you having enough? I was like, it's for protection. When I go in house, it's like, I grabbed. And it scared to be really bad. And my officer friend said, I don't need. And he was like, ma'am, it's okay.

We're just going to. I still can't believe he grabbed you. That is like, creepy. Yeah, so. Well, I've got to the airport. Well, I've got nothing happened at the airport either. Yeah, I know. Right.

God. I have not a crazy situation like that, but I have a crazy deal. So it's kind of a long story. So I was working San Angelo. And I have these clients who were gung-ho. They're moving from San Angelo. to Abilene an hour and a half away. So like as if, you know, Greensboro to Raleigh, let's say. And I, I've never worked Abil-M-Marcet. I don't know it super well. Now I have MLS. At the time,

I did not have MLS access. So, but these clients were like, no, we want you to be our agent. We don't trust anybody else. I'm like, well, as long as, like, and I told him at front, like, I, like, I can get info on this market. But. But like I, and I made them sign something saying they knew I didn't normally work this market and that they were still comfortable with me. So we're, okay, so we're getting their household. We are and they're doing a, they want to do a contingency to buy the next one in Abilene. And they want new construction. So we do showings on new construction and we find one they love.

we get it under contract and we ended up having to do a bridge loan because the builder did not want to do a contingency. They love this house, so they're willing to do what it takes. However, we did ask for a temporary lease back so that they could move into this new house sooner than when we close. but it was already like it's a new construction that's already completed so um which i i i am surprised that we did get that done or like that we got that negotiated with a builder a lot of times builders don't allow a lot of times a lot of people don't accept temporary leasebacks yeah so um i was like well this is good yeah good news so um so we go and do we're under contract we do inspections whole repair amendment that gets signed by both parties for, you know, stuff that needs to be

completed before closing. And ideally, you know, like a day or two before closing, we'll go and do our walkthrough. You know, I give them, but I tell them we're, I give them a two week heads up like, hey, we're sending the inspector back out this day. So just, you know, have all repairs completed by this day. So it gets to that point. and almost none of the repairs have been done. They were supposed to all be done so the inspector could go back and inspect them. Inspector goes and almost none are done. We're like, you know, we're like four days out on closing.

Like, what are you doing? And so my people start freaking out and start, you know, looking up the builder's name and trying to see his reputation. End up finding all this bad stuff about the builder on a Facebook. Facebook group. And it was stuff about how he was supposed to do repairs before closing and wouldn't or just ended up like said he would do them after closing and that you needed to trust him, blah, blah, blah. And he would never come back and do them. And so looks now, like we see that and they're thinking they're getting set up for this guy to not do repairs. But it's like a legally,

it's a legal, legally binding document the amendment to a contract that he's. has to do them. So, you know, I'm like, okay, well, let me just talk to him, whatever, and they're like, no, we want you to specifically tell him that we saw this Facebook post because we feel like he'll be worried about his reputation and that's going to make him or push him to get them done ASAP because he wants to, he'll want to show that he's a reputable business owner. I'm like, okay, you know. One way to do one, I guess. Okay. I mean, they tell me this is the way I was like it could, you know, offend him, whatever. Did back fire real quick.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. He was so offended by that. And he, he, so, and they're like, oh, and they're already in the house for, sorry, no, they were supposed to move in the next day for the temporary lease back. and so he gets super pissed off at that and tells his agent to tell us that the temporary leaseback is no longer valid and they're not allowed to move in early and what did his agent have to say about all that? The agent was the agent, okay, let me back up on this too.

The agent was just as bad as the builder. The agent initially on the bad told me I was like trying to get info from him and kept like following up on stuff or like hey and he was like he would try to like make decisions on behalf of the builder and I'm like uh no like I understand what you're trying to say but I need an answer from the actual seller so can you ask him and go and he's like he sends me this message that's like I have this this and this going on I don't have time to keep answering your petty questions like I'm so busy right now like as if I had nothing on my plate it was like the

rudest. Honestly, I should like back text. I had to pause the podcast so I could go find this. I hope you don't take this the wrong way. I definitely don't want to sound rude. Well, if you have to start it that way, then probably be rude. I'm extremely busy with homes and escrow and listings, as well as my own new builds. I'm going from phone call to text to email all day. I just don't have time to keep answering the same question. Friday after they sign is what he's willing to do. I'm like, you are this, I'm like looked up his business and I'm like doing way more than him and like also running a team.

I go honestly, it blankety blank his name. It took you more effort to write that text than to just take a to make a one minute call or two second text to the builder, which you are required to do per trek rules. As I'm sure you know. I'm extremely busy with my own deals in San Angelo and Dallas on top of running a team of 17 plus and personal stuff on top of that. We're all busy, but it's going to make things extremely, like, talking about we were negotiating, like, more stuff. Not sure what else to tell you. It's a one minute call or a two second text literally. I'm like, I don't need you to mansplain all your stuff that you have.

Like, that is such a rude thing to say. Just call the builder and ask him. Exactly. Don't try to make, because he kept trying to, like, make decisions for him. I'm like, just because you think you're a builder as well, like, doesn't mean that you're, you've got to call him because we've now asked us. So this is not a, not, not a, no, he was like, this guy was so rude too. And I think, I think from there, he just like, everything I was saying, he like took,

took wrong. I think so. But like, don't, don't be rude. Like, yeah. Okay. Anyway, so where was I with this? So, uh, so he gets super offended about the, that they found that on Facebook. like it's not like they wrote it like they're just concerned like basically i was like they're just

and i i said i basically i didn't i took what they said and like sugarcoated it really nicely we do like hey i'm sure it was just a misunderstanding but they saw this and now they're worried that the repairs aren't going to get done like we sign this can we just like can you give me some sort of like confirmation that these are going to be done before closing and they just went off. And so I went back to our brokers. They're like, okay, you can't rescind a, you know, and this is Texas. I don't know about other states, but you can't, like, the temporary lease is executed. The seller can't just rescind that now. Like, that's a done. So I told him that. They took the keys. So they go to move in. You know, we get there and the keys aren't in

the lockbox so they took the keys out. But we ended up finding a window that was that was unlocked. So they went through the window and, you know, started moving their stuff in, whatever. And they go by and the other agent starts threatening me and was like, you know, that's trespassing like, you know what happens when you trespass in other people's properties in Texas. I'm like, so you're, like, to me, you're threatening to shoot my clients now. Like, what? And so then my client's like, well, he, like, we have this document. If he wants to come on our property, like, I can threaten the same thing, whatever.

And I'm like, what is, how do we get to this freaking point? So there, the husband goes to work the next day. the wife has to go back to San Angelo with the kids to take them to school or there was something they had to do. The husband comes back and the builder had had the locks changed on the house. While they have a temporary lease, like they have a right to be in that house. Quitely illegal? Like, I'm like, I just don't even know what to say at this point. So we have to go get our locks changed together.

to lock them out and he's like freaking out. I mean, and we ended up getting it closed, but it was like, it was so such an awkward ordeal and like we had to like get the brokers involved. Like I'm surprised still that no one has sued anybody, but, you know, here like eight months later, there's a leak in the, there's a leak in. so my client calls me he's like um we had a leak i think in the in the shower behind the shower and their shop their master shower backs up to their their master closet and it it like they're like we pulled back our clothes and there's a huge just wet moldy spot and it mold like it molded the

clothes and stuff they had it touched and and so like i'm like trying i had to go in contact the freaking agent again. He's like, yeah, we're not helping you. Like, call the home warranty or whatever. So I'm like, and I'd already tried calling the warranty coming to because I was like, I don't want to, like, we don't need to get them involved. And obviously, like, if he's doing this bad of work and like just, you know, that's not stuff that should be happening. I don't think we want him doing the work anyway. So, or like whoever he used. The one, the builder, warranty company said that we needed to try to go through the builder first. So I'm sitting here like, that's not happening. Trying to contact the agent, trying to contact the builder.

They just start ignoring me. My client goes and post something on another Facebook group like about what's going on. And he's like, oh, and by the way, the builder's in this group and like tagged the builder. I was like, back to this again. There we go again. We need to each other again. Yeah. I mean, it was like, I just, I, I've never had that much drama in my deal before. I was just like, this is crazy. And like, everything I did, I was like very careful to, you know, cross my teeth on my eyes and say everything really nicely or like, until, you know, until you push me to like be stern and say, hey, just call him. It's a one second call. It's a two second time. Like, um, I think that's my craziest one I've had to deal with like yeah actually I have another one with those clients too to feel so bad they're like cursed from had little state transactions yeah but your turn I ended up these clients um they um I brought them at least 12 offers and one of them was 25,000 above past be and they weren't happy with this. They wanted higher. So I was like, you're 25,000 above.

I don't even know if this is kind of crazy at this point in this neighborhood. And she would call me every morning between 5.45 and 6 a.m. Well, why are we not under contract yet? Well, you've got multiple offers to choose from. So you tell me at this point. after about a month and a half of this, I had him under contract for a new bill. I was like,

you've got to close on this house. Yeah. And they're like, well, we think we're going to hire a friend now. And I was like, I think that's the best, best idea.

So I was like, not a problem by all. And he was like, well, do you want a co-broker? Because I hear you have a bunch of offers on the table. And I was like, I do,

but they don't want to accept any of them. and I said, but if you can convince him, yes, let's cover a worker. He ends up just basically swooping in and takes the listing. Well, then he tries to only give me 35% on the new bill that I hadn't been working on for a year and a half. Right. Like, whoa, whoa, whoa, no. I have a contract with them. And he's like, but you guys decided to let each other go.

I was like, that was on the listing side. we only have one walkthrough left on this new build. Yep. And he ended up selling their house for almost 40 grand less than what asking them. So I was like, well, that was Carmen at its best right there. Literally, that makes no sense to me. Mm-mm. No.

I'm like, you didn't want my 25,000 over asking, but you're going to go with the 40 grand under? Okay. So. Yes, they came to. reality. Hey, I was not sad about, I was like, yep, incomplete. I was like, we're done. We're done. I'm done with the 6 a.m. calls. I hated starting my day every day like that. And no, people will say, let the people start coming out of the woodworks and start comment and then saying, we didn't have to answer. I am the realtor that does answer. No, I do not have to answer. And I understand that. But I am the one that will answer.

Yeah. And it's got me to where I am today. If I don't call you back within 30 minutes, something's wrong. Either I didn't see the call or I'm stuck in a situation where I absolutely or I'm getting somewhere. Yeah. So those same clients, the house that they had to sell to buy this one, they, I had a builder. So they were doing a custom home with a builder. and the builder advertises 2.5% on our website.

Like everywhere. Yeah. And so we go to put the house or like we go and negotiate and put a, you know, get a contract for them to build a house with her. And she's like, yeah, but I'm not going to pay you two and a half percent. I was like, you advertise it. So you've got to. No.

No. she was like or he was like sorry she was like no I'm not because I actually have them down I have their names down they came to one of my open houses two and a half years ago two and a half years ago

they went to one of their open houses any contact with these people no not your clients no but I didn't like that cool and my current broker at time wouldn't like do anything about it probably like probably didn't want to like have a bad name with her but she has a bad name with all the agents like she does stuff like this all the time

in town here's the thing they didn't have a contract with her correct correct so nothing binding hello new nor settlement i know but they i was like at the same time though it was like that was what was holding up the deal so i'm like well i don't want them to think i'm drama and like only think about because I you know I care about them getting this house on your contract they have a I'm doing the same thing so so she she lowers it to 1% I'm like so I have to roll through with that and then at you know like and it was like it was such a tough deal too like of course like the 1% one percent one is like one of my toughest deals they always are when you discount your commission they are your hardest hardest hardest part of the deal yeah and uh

That's what I want to tell clients when they want a discount. I'm like, well, do you want this to be easy or hard? Yeah. And it gets down to right before closing. We're closing right before they have a baby. Of course, it's timing up that way. And there's still like a handful, probably like $2,500. So nothing crazy.

Like $2,500 worth of stuff on half a million dollar, over a half a million dollar bill. Like, just get it done. But she's like refusing to do these last. minute touchups or whatever. And so they have me withhold $2,500 at, with escrow, like a title and saying we're not closing, like we'll close, but we're holding that back until you get it done. And she agreed, but then like, so she signed that, but then like still wouldn't do it. And she keeps contacting me. Oh, and we had to sign on the house. The wife had the baby, so I had to take, like, go with the closing agent and, like, go get them signed in the hospital.

And, like, this, so this builder won't, like, do the last minute touch-up. So there's $2,500 left that she's like, I need to settle up on end of the year stuff. It's been, like, a month and a half since we, it was like, it was about a month after we closed, because we closed, like, November 15th. And then it was December 15th. She's like, I need to settle up, like, my end of the year stuff. like, I don't know what you want me to do. This is up to you.

You finish the job and you get your $2,500. Yes. I was like, I don't know how to put it more simply than that. I don't. And she's like acting like it's my fault. I'm like, you just want to be bad at someone because you don't like me because I called you out for not willing to pay a normal commission after like you advertise that. and um yeah i'm just like these are the things that people don't sleep they think we just go up indoors and yeah houses and we collect big checks they miss how hard we have to actually fight for

these commissions and sometimes there are easy ones but it's it's very rare and i feel like it's like good karma for the crazy ones literally literally literally Okay, your turn. I guess another funny story would be I went to a listing appointment. They were showing me the house and they were going to rent another house that I had on the market. So that's how I found them. And they're like, well, we want to sell our house. I was like, okay, what do you think you could sell it for?

I was like, well, I wouldn't need to put my eyes on it. But per comps, this is kind of an estimate of what I'm thinking that, you know, we'll get it for. So I go to the house, we're walking around, and we get through all the bedrooms, and then we go up into the attic area. As we're coming down, there's this large wasp, and I step on it. A what wasp? A large wasp. Like, it probably wasn't this big, but it felt this thing. So I'm like, well, so I squashed the wasp, and it was kind of late.

It looked like it was on the deadbed anyways. this woman starts screaming at me. I'm a murderer. I'm a killer. Let's join hands. We start praying over this wasp. And she's like, I don't think this is going to work out. I don't want a murderer selling my house.

And I was like, what just happened? You just made me pray over a dead wasp. And I don't even get the listing. I didn't want it at that point. I just wanted out of the house. And it's even more funny because you're like the most like you're always posting like animal rescue stuff like rescue. I'm just not like it just no. I put the last out of his misery.

So I know right. That story cracks me. I try to leave the house. I can't figure out where my shoes are. She apparently put them in the top of the closet when I came in. Like it was just a nightmare. I'm like imagine trying to run out of a house. Yeah.

Can't find your shoes. The listening point of me clearly went completely wrong. This woman's still trying to prey over the spots. It was a nightmare in the house. So I have a, it's not my story, but it's one of Collins that's, I have a lot of McCrory Homes funny stories, but this is just one that is probably my favorite. I'm trying to decide whether I should tell her. So, Colin.

had, okay, so Colin was out on a job, a new construction job, and he has a helper with him out there. And they have a porta potty out there. And this guy's in the porter potty, like, you know, going to the bathroom, whatever. And I think it was like the concrete truck came in and started backing up, like, to the job near it. You kind of know where I'm going with this. it backs up into the porta potty while he's in there, the helper's in there. And it topples over and it topples like the front goes face down so we can't get out. And he's stuck in there and it's like all the.

So he's screaming bloody murder, which rightfully so, I'd be too. And they have to like call him. He's like, they get him out. Colin's like, get the bed of my truck. We're going to like, hose you down. They go and hose him down. He's like, he can't even speak. He's so traumatized.

Like, where did they take him like to a car wash? I think to their office and like, like, they had a hose there and hosed him down. Oh, look to a car wash. I need to go home and like he got the rest of the day off. You're like. Well, I would hope you'd have the rest of the, maybe the rest of the week. Yeah. Yeah.

Traumatizing. Oh, that's funny. We have a lot of other crazy stories. I mean, people... Yeah, my fleas riding home in my undies and the walk. Yeah, Colin's gotten fleas in his car a bunch of times, like when they used to flip, like they were flipping heavy. I mean, just dead animals all the time, feces.

I did find out that peacocks go for 500 each because I sold the peacocks with the house. Nice. I'd buy the peacocks, too. another with this listing I told her I was like you need to put like the animal somewhere for the pictures and put something in the middle of the kitchen table and like spruce up the house a little bit her definition of that guess what it was it's a cat food bowl what do you mean she put the cat food bowl in the middle of the dining room table as a decorative thing she's like see now the kittens

The decoration. Like, that was her point. People don't want to know there's animals in this house. No, and Matt was like, I really, I don't know where to take pictures in this house. Because everywhere I turn, there's an animal. Oh, that's true with that animal. The ducks. Whack, whack.

Yeah, no, I actually, I showed a house one time. They had a treadmill for their cat. Well, that's cute. You need a treadmill? Yes, but if you're someone like me that has allergies, you're like, it reminds me even more that there's cats in here. Yes, true. Or a cat. I was like, that's interesting.

Oh, and actually another time I accidentally let an indoor cat outside and it got outside. And I had to go like, go find it and chase it down and grab it, get it back in the house. Not good. And it like in the description, it's like, don't let the cat out. And like, it literally, I opened the door. I didn't even see it. It darted out. So I almost lost, I had the buyer and I almost lost the seller's cat.

That was not good. No, that would not be good. Two weekends before I was showing a condo, I was sitting I had to somebody. And this guy, he comes in. And then he's like, I'd start sneezing. And I'm like, are you okay? and he's like, I'm allergic to cats. I can't be in here.

And I was like, they don't have a cat. He's, oh, okay, well, that case, I'm fine. I'm like. And that Kate, like, what? I mean, what do you do with that? Yeah. I'm trying to think of other funny ones. I've shown it were a house that had tenants in it.

And the tenants had definitely just choked up the house right before. So it reeked of weed. That was fun. Thankfully, I have like a young, cool, understanding client at the time. I'm like, oh, real estate. It's funny.

I left teaching for, you know, one of the reasons was just the adults and the politics and everything. And now I'm in real estate and I still deal with people. Yeah. Just seeing how some people live is just like, yeah, doing lips.

It's scary. Carpets just one of those things to do. I'm like, I'm sure this happens all the time. like in bigger cities but there was uh in san angela there was a house that had a stripper pole and that was like everyone was like oh trying to get a client so you can go see the stripper pull in the house like hey i got a friend that wasn't that crazy but like he's not a stripper never has been good workout just thought about applying for it one time you know you know day drink and then

and Joanne ourselves. And he ended with, let's go apply. And I was like, let's not say we did. Yeah. Let's not. And definitely don't say we did either. I know they're in here. Colin just walked in.

Hi, Colin. Informal episode. Yes. So. I know. All my other, I think, crazy stories are like more calling. We'll have to get Colin to come on sometimes. Yeah, we need to come on.

So investing stories. Because they're, I mean, we've had people break in and rip out ceiling fans just for fun or like i had a listing in jackson bill and that thing the tenant came back and stole the doors the windows they took everything like just hitched to the trailer and drag it all like do us a solid it's just yeah i'll actually tell that story so Colin and his dad were both out of town and they had bought this house from this older lady who had grandkids and she okay so i uh i guess they get a call from the police some one of their one of their uh contractors went by and all of the um ceiling fans have been

ripped out of the ceilings and thrown out in the street they broke all of the windows and we ended up figuring uh i can't remember the story now but we we knew it It was the lady who we bought it from, her grandsons had gone back and they were the ones that did it. And I was kind of freaked out. I'm the one that's having to go meet the cops. But supposedly they had, they were like 14 and had found a gun somehow and had shot, I guess they were like playing music loud or something. And their 75 year old neighbor, this man came out and yelled at them. And they shot him in the stomach at like 14 years old.

We're like, what the hell? And so I'm like nervous to even be over there, even with cops or whatever. And I have to go over there and deal with it because the boys are out of town. And like two weeks later, they were, they were riding. They were like, I think this is what happened. I think they got in a car accident. and I think one of them ended up passing away, but there was an ASU baseball player who had accidentally,

like, they got, like he hit them on accident, but then ended up being a hit and run, and he ended up killing one of them. And I think that, I think, I don't know what ended up happy with that, but it was like crazy that we had just been tied to these people, and then it's like all in the news about going on. I'm like, I just don't, this is like bad juju house.

bad jujid. I'm trying to get rid of that. Yeah, I'm just like they've got, they've had squatters sue them. It was actually, they bought a house that had a, didn't have a squatter at the time, but all her stuff was in the house,

and she ended up going to jail for something. And then when she got out of jail, she went back to the house and realized that all of her stuff had been thrown away. And she ended up suing them for, throwing away her stuff even though she didn't even own the house and was squatting in the house so this goes back to like squatter rights unfortunately they're a real thing yeah i mean and nothing like happened of it but they had to pay a lawyer to like go to court for them and stuff like

what i've got a client dealing with that right now yeah they hadn't paid rent and over six years and can't get them out yeah and they're like well he didn't tell us crazy. Yeah. They had a lawyer and was like, he didn't tell us they had to leave. Yeah. I've got a girl on my team, not naming names or anything, but she closed a deal. And she's like, looking back, she's like, I'm pretty sure they were in a cult.

And we're like potentially using like one of the girls that was her client. The daughter was like dating a guy who was in the. military and they used his VA loan and like had a power of attorney and stuff but they like wanted to be close in proximity to their sister in the property behind him and there's just all these like red flags i don't even want to go into detail but like they're pretty sure she's pretty sure they're in a cold that's creepy uh real estate the joys of it i know they could be books written on on and on and on about these kinds of things I know. I know.

Where do you see us being in another 100 episodes? I don't know. Gosh. I mean, it's so hard because we're both in two different places. A lot of our guests come on from different places. Like I see, you know, other people who have podcasts, like do it in person, like kind of a dear media situation. Look at this little stinker. Aw.

Right. Uh-huh. Scout! And I don't know, maybe like upgrading equipment, upgrading video. But I mean, this is so easy for us right now and it works. Our rooms. Yeah, but like, you know, having sponsors and not only like getting people on the podcast that people that provide value, but then like advertising, you know, different tools

that help us too. So what about you? I agree with that. My big thing is I want to figure out what I'm going to do with this ball back here. Yeah, this is a new room for me. And we're going to, yeah, we meet with an interior designer here soon. And I'm going to have her guys, everybody, when you're on the school. Yes.

I know, I need to do the next one. I missed my little neon light behind here. Because part of me was the neon light. Then I'm like, well, I want to do a picture. And then I'll see somebody to do the knee knob. And then I'll see. I'm back and bored. I know.

It's hard to say, but I'm proud of, you know, where we've come. We've had Sharon Lecter on, Pace Morby, Gogh, Bechie, Gogobe, Pais, Pryat, Lisa Copeland. Yep. We've had some big people on, and I'm very proud of us, and only more people to come. We're going to get Natalie Dawson and Aaron Kirtman. Yes.

I know, we've got to get Tarek on, too. Yes. He's just hard to pin down with his schedule right now with the baby and stuff. It's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. And travel so much. Hopefully we can get Elena on to.

Yes. So I will model for both of us. Yay. So. Love it. Well, hope this was a fun episode for you guys with our crazy stories. We're looking forward to doing more and on to the next milestone, maybe 200 podcasts. 200's next.

Love it. Lots of good people in between now and in. Thanks, guys. Bye.
