Perfect building next door to me. I'm pretty sure they are temporary housing for a company.

0:13.9

People tend to live there for three or four months, maybe six months. If I'm looking at your house, the one to the left?

0:18.4

Yeah, yeah. Okay. And they stay for a brief amount of time and then move on or, you know, find a permanent residence, whatever the deal is.

One of these apartments had the smoke detector battery failing.

0:31.7

And it was doing that high-end beep. It was in the middle of summertime when I kept my windows open.

0:35.0

Yeah. Their windows were open on almost all the windows on the side of that house. Yeah. That building. I can hear this thing. I'm just like, at first I thought it was mine. How long did you check around your own house? Well, I eventually saw someone walk out of there and I'm like, hey man, whose apartment isn't where, you know, the battery is obviously going bad in the smoke detector. And the guy's like, I don't hear anything. I'm like, come walk over to my house. All right. And we just stood there for about, and then, of course, it's not beeping. But it seems like five minutes goes by. Then it starts doing it again. Right. I'm just like that. And he's like, I have never heard that. I'm like, you are in that building. And he's never heard. And you've never heard that smoke detector. I'm like, man, I hear clear as day. He's like, I don't think anybody's in that apartment. And I was like, clearly, because if they would, they've already lost their mind. Yes. What was the most annoying thing that you had to deal with in a place you lived? 206, 803 rock. And the place I've been having them in there two years, the twice they have gone, the battery has died, I have been out of town. Oh, really? Oh, and yours. Yeah. So you are that person. Right. And I'm hoping it's only been a day, but like, what was it? Last January, I was gone for three days. right and I was like you gotta be kidding me right like I felt bad you would have think at that point in time look

1:47.5

the mainest people have January. I was gone for three days. Right. And I was like, you gotta be kidding me. Right. Like, I felt bad.

2:01.0

You would have think at that point in time, look, the mainness people have a key. Yeah. They could walk in there and fix that problem. Knock on the door, you're not there. Leave you a note, whatever the deal is. Like, hey, we had to come into your apartment. They could call you. They've got your phone number. They've got all that information. You can't not notice it.

2:03.0

I told you, you know, a different girl was dating.

2:17.9

She had, like, she was renting like a, like a row hometown home, but the ceilings were vaulted. Oh, yeah. We went over there to watch sports. I was spending the night, and I got there and I heard it. And I said, is this been going off all day? She goes, yes, but I can't change it until the owner gets here. And I just, I just went, why did you have me come over? She was like, well, I still wanted to hang out. I'm like, you should have told me. It's annoying. Right. I had a house, same thing, it was a vaulted ceiling. I'm much younger at this time and five of us lived in this house and it's about two in the morning everyone is not out of bed

2:37.0

standing in the stairwell,

2:50.5

staring up at the smoke detector. We know that's the one. And it just, it won't stop. Right? It's just, eat, eep, eep. And we're trying to figure out all these things. And because we don't have money. It's not like we have a ladder. There's nothing, man. I'm like, well, what do we do?

2:51.6

Because we're all awake now. All of us are irritated. And then we try a ladder. There's nothing, man. I'm like, well, what do we do? Because we're all awake now.

3:07.3

All of us are irritated. And then we tried the thing where, you know, you get on my back. And, of course, you're on the stairs, can't quite reach it. Finally, my buddy Tony goes down to his car. He grabs his baseball bat, jumps up. And, I mean, just beats this thing off of the ceiling. smack, the whole thing's gone now, right?

3:09.0

There's just like a hole in the ceiling where it was.

3:27.8

And everyone just kind of silently agreed, like, that works. I'll tell you. Don't care. We'll risk of fire. My annoying neighbor thing with me, and I've gotten rid of it since, and I thought when I bought this is the greatest thing in the world, the big green egg, right? Yeah. Okay, it's it's it's hard lump charcoal. It's a smoker. It's a smoker.

4:14.3

But you can also grill on it. So for me, most of the time, I would grill a couple steaks. The times that I attempted to smoke with that thing, I had more neighbors coming up and going like, dude, that smoke is just billowing into our windows. And it's a thick, heavy smoke. Did you have it on your balcony? I had it down in my front yard. Okay, so it didn't matter. It didn't matter. Like, my neighbor's next door. The people in the apartment building next door to that. I mean, well, there are more townhomes, but still, I mean, if I walk down the street to get something, and I came back, like the entire street was this cloud of charcoal smoke. And I'm like, man, I don't think I live in the right place for this day. Yeah, I guess or not. That was just getting the damn thing started. That wasn't even, I didn't even begin the smoking process yet. That was just the hour it took to get the colds going. I mean, that's the issue of smokers, right? Most places will let you have

4:17.9

a gas grill. Sure. Whatever. A lot of places you can't have charcoal, but yeah, it's always like no smokers. Just as that much. Even like a pellet smoker, it's still smoking the whole time. Oh, yeah. What was the most annoying thing that you had to deal with in a place you lived?

4:30.8

206, 803, right? Also, I heard a great new term. Some guys behind me in Texas, I heard the guy go, eh, got me a city smoker. Pellot fit. Oh, yeah. City smoke. City smoker. Hello, Mimi. Welcome to the men's room. Hey. Ola, la. So I had a roommate back in Texas back in 2013 that was 19.
