00:00Camera now recording.
00:07Thank you, Dad.
00:11Dad!
00:15Hello?
00:16I'm on the doorbell, not your phone.
00:21What do you mean, you're on the doorbell?
00:24Hi, you are currently being recorded.
00:27Your house is a camera.
00:32At any given time, tens of millions of homes are recording your every move.
00:43And if you're watching at just the right moment...
00:55I'm so sorry.
00:56You'll catch your neighbors when they thought no one was looking.
01:03I have never in my life heard Matt shriek like that.
01:06It was crazy.
01:07Come join.
01:14The Neighborhood Watch.
01:16You are currently being recorded.
01:32A couple is surprised to find their umbrella upside down.
01:37I don't know how that happened.
01:38The chair was knocked over, too.
01:40You think it happened...
01:41It didn't happen in the storm last night, did it?
01:43Yeah.
01:44Isn't that odd?
01:45Geez, did we get that big of a gust today?
01:51Let's...
01:55Oh my God.
01:59Without this sad thing.
02:02Oh my God.
02:03Something just snuck into this house through an open patio door.
02:07Oh my god!
02:29What the hell?
02:31Are you okay?
02:32Yeah. I couldn't get the car in there.
02:38It's called Big Booty Queen.
02:39This kid has just written
02:41a new rap song.
02:43Ready?
02:44I'm a king with a big booty queen.
02:47We went to Booga King, got a big black powder heavier
02:49than my big booty queen. Dang, that's crazy.
02:51And then I said, why do you
02:53look like a father for not 200 days?
02:55Get out of my...get out to the
02:57guy who works at Booga King.
02:59And then he said,
03:01my big booty queen is fat.
03:02Then I threw him out of the window
03:04because we don't talk about that guy.
03:07Woo!
03:09Okay.
03:14A couple is about to get a
03:16surprise visit.
03:18Being up in western North Carolina,
03:19up in a national rain forest essentially,
03:22we're surrounded by a ton of wildlife.
03:25It's a big appeal for the area,
03:26just being with nature
03:28and never knowing what you're gonna experience.
03:30Right. Every time you walk out the door,
03:32you're something.
03:35I'm just sitting on the couch
03:36with my coffee and my two dogs.
03:42And all I hear is Matt scream
03:45like Homer Simpson.
03:46And I'm like, what in the world?
03:48Stop.
03:50Matt, stop.
03:52Matt.
03:53I have never in my life heard Matt shriek like that.
03:56It was crazy.
03:57It was just so unexpected that it just,
04:00the initial reaction was just,
04:03is there really a bat inside with us?
04:07My brain was saying, get to the door.
04:09But in the process of that,
04:11the bat was still circling and diving.
04:13It swooped right at my head several times.
04:19Matt, open the f***ing flat door.
04:21I always stay cool in high pressure situations.
04:24It's my superpower.
04:27I just kept saying, Matt, open the door.
04:29And he wasn't.
04:30He was running around screaming.
04:31And so yes, I was in the way.
04:34Nobody else was reacting.
04:35So I felt like I had to make up
04:36for the dog's lack of reaction
04:38and Jenny's lack of reaction.
04:39Sometimes I call Matt the nuclear reactor.
04:43Matt, let it out.
04:50Open the front door.
04:51The more Matt moved,
04:53the more the bat would swoop at just him,
04:55which made me very thankful
04:56because I was trying to contain both of the dogs.
04:59I just had to keep my cool
05:00while that bat chased Matt everywhere.
05:01But what I've since learned is
05:03that the best thing to do
05:04is actually back yourself up against the wall
05:06because bats really can't see.
05:08Alright, it's on the ceiling.
05:13Once I got the door open,
05:14the bat had perched itself up on a beam
05:16on our ceiling.
05:18And that was it.
05:18It didn't fly after that.
05:21Where's Jason?
05:23Where's Jason?
05:23Jason is one of the wildlife experts.
05:27Kind of who you call
05:28if you have squirrels in your attic
05:30or a bear in your crawl space.
05:32How the **** do you get in here?
05:34I don't **** know.
05:37We already had called
05:38because we knew we still had a few bats outside.
05:41We were doing some work in our chimneys
05:43and they were coming down our chimney
05:44into our screen porch.
05:46But it never occurred to me in a million years
05:48that there was one inside.
05:50I pointed out where the bat was.
05:52We showed it to him and he did his job
05:54and safely removed the bat.
05:58It was a happy ending.
05:59I think if it were to happen again,
06:01maybe a little less shrieking.
06:03But that's what made it look funny.
06:04Right.
06:19What?
06:24What?
06:35What?
06:43Oh my God.
07:02a furniture move becomes family legend i have to wait max i thought oh i can balance this let's go
07:21this delivery guy is looking for a shortcut
07:52so
07:57so
08:18This man is preparing for a mulch delivery.
08:47At this home, a family is trying to move the desk.
08:50Now Matt, when you start to pull it out, you're going to have to be pretty strong.
08:55I was going to grad school and I decided that I would want a desk in order to become a
09:00real
09:00scholar and I was going to use the desk to do scholarly stuff.
09:05And rather than spend money on like a new desk, I decided that I would like to have the
09:10very fancy, very heavy old oak desk that my parents had up in the upstairs of our house.
09:16In other words, you were cheap.
09:18Yeah.
09:19That's a good way of putting it.
09:21You don't want to break the gutter, so you just want to have the gutter as like a handling
09:25point.
09:26There's only one room upstairs and it's a spiral staircase to get up.
09:29So anything that gets up there has to come over the balcony.
09:32So we decided, I had decided, that we were just going to pick it up and lift it and set
09:38it down without realizing that it's about a 200 pound desk.
09:41It was not 200 pounds.
09:43There's some discrepancy about the weight.
09:47Bring it down.
09:48Slowly.
09:50Max, you go on the back end.
09:52The plan was simple.
09:54Me and my mother are going to lower it down to my brother, at which point I would run downstairs
10:00to help Sam.
10:01I thought that I would be strong enough to lift 700 pounds over my head.
10:05It's getting heavier and heavier.
10:07Now, I want you to gently bring it down and I will let you know when I have it.
10:12When I heard about it, my first question was, don't you want to wait until your dad comes
10:15home?
10:16And they both were like, oh, no, we got this.
10:19We can do it.
10:19And I thought, oh, well then, OK, you see how that turned out.
10:30Sam's yelling at us to give it an angle and to this day, our family still doesn't quite
10:34know what he meant by that.
10:36So now, whenever someone says or does something completely imbecilic, we say, oh, give it an
10:41angle.
10:42Give it an angle.
10:44Yes.
10:45Max, go.
10:47Mom, you're fine.
10:49Let go.
10:49You're not doing anything.
10:50God bless our mother.
10:51She did everything to try to help.
10:53It was a high pressure situation and I was 22 years old.
10:56It was very low pressure.
10:58It was moving a desk.
10:59You try having 1,000 pounds over your head.
11:02Sam likes to make it sound like Abraham Lincoln, saying the Gettysburg Address on this desk.
11:08This particle board, MDF, whatever you want to call it.
11:11What do I do?
11:12Nothing.
11:13Just let go.
11:14When that desk hit me in the head, I immediately thought, oh, I can balance this.
11:19And I take those wobbly steps.
11:22And then my next thought is, I don't have this.
11:25This is just not going to end well.
11:27What?
11:27What?
11:29What?
11:33It hurt my pride more than anything else.
11:38I wasn't super concerned that he was concussed.
11:42I wasn't, in fact, that didn't even occur to me that he could be.
11:45We do think he's still brain damaged.
11:47I think that happened long before this incident.
11:49This could be repaired.
11:50Did you drop it?
11:51We did.
11:52I worked in a high school and I was sitting in a study hall and my phone went ding.
12:03I didn't even know we had a ring doorbell, so I had absolutely no idea this was going
12:07to be permanently recorded.
12:09Well, I just wish I had a shirt on during the video.
12:20I did end up taking it to graduate school.
12:23The irony is, it only served as basically a shelf.
12:27It was, yeah, it was basically a shelf or a giant paperweight.
12:29I didn't use it at all.
12:30So we didn't have to worry about it again.
12:32Just got to give it an angle next time, man.
12:38This dad is enjoying the VR set he got for Christmas.
12:53This kid is also playing with virtual reality.
12:59You good?
13:00No.
13:01What happened?
13:02I just ran into the tree, don't you?
13:08This little boy's Halloween is about to take an unexpected turn.
13:13I didn't think this through, like, uh-oh.
13:15They may not appreciate my humor.
13:27The back stuff is new, but the pipes are old.
13:38They may not appreciate my humor.
13:39They may not have to be a good habit.
13:40They may not have to be a good habit.
13:42They may not have to be a good habit.
14:00At work
14:33I love Halloween since I was a kid
14:36Trick-or-treaters coming to the door is like one of my favorite things I love it and I try
14:41to make it really fun for them
14:42There she is
14:44I do love wearing an inflatable costume
14:48This way
14:50I have dressed up as a dinosaur
14:52Got caught by the branches
14:54Out walking my dog in the middle of the day or just random things like that
15:01My silly side really comes out
15:04During Halloween
15:05You're killing me! Where's your face?
15:08I wanted to surprise you
15:10We moved in 2022 and so
15:12We were actually fairly new to the neighborhood
15:14Being this was our first year in the house
15:16I was really looking forward to Halloween that year
15:20I had to get a costume for my sister's Halloween party
15:23And when I saw the chicken I just thought it was hilarious to me
15:26So I got it
15:28I just remember pacing the house
15:30Because you can't sit down in it
15:32For it to stay fully inflated
15:33You have to keep it on
15:35And, you know, talking to my husband
15:37I'm like, what if nobody comes?
15:39And that's when I heard the little knock
15:45What do you think?
15:46Please don't think I'm a creepy neighbor
15:53I was so excited to greet my first trick-or-treater
15:57And he absolutely has a meltdown
16:01I didn't think this through
16:02Like, uh-oh
16:03Like, I'm new to the neighborhood
16:05Nobody knows me
16:06They may not
16:07They may not appreciate my humor
16:10Send me your therapy, Dylan
16:11I'm sorry
16:14I couldn't get out of the thing fast enough
16:16I'm trying to take the costume off
16:18To let him know that it's safe
16:19You know, I'm not a real chicken
16:22Bye! We'll talk later
16:24He wouldn't even take candy from me
16:26Like, I was trying to give him candy
16:27He didn't want any
16:28He wanted nothing to do with me
16:40He cried the whole way down the driveway
16:42And I just felt terrible
16:44So that's when I got the nickname Chicken Lady
16:46That has carried with me
16:47I have had neighbors remind me
16:49That they still think of me as a chicken lady
16:52And I actually worried about the little boy
16:54For the whole year
16:55It never left my mind
16:58I didn't have closure on it
16:59Until the next Halloween when they came back
17:01The dogs are losing it
17:03The dogs are losing it
17:03That is okay
17:04Wait, the rocks are not briefed
17:05Do you remember when you answered the door
17:07Last year in the chicken costume?
17:09Was it you?
17:09It was
17:10Do you need that briefed it up?
17:12Was it just you?
17:13Oh my gosh
17:14Is it you?
17:15Do you remember the chicken?
17:17Are you the pizza?
17:18Yeah
17:18I was the chicken
17:20That was what I was waiting for
17:21And so we had that reunion there
17:23And it was really cool
17:25And that's when I actually got to show them the video
17:27They thought it was hilarious
17:34I'm still going to dress up
17:35I still think it's hilarious
17:37And still have a lot of fun with it
17:39But I did not ever answer the door
17:42In an inflatable ever again
17:44I probably won't
17:47This was a one and done
17:52This dad is trying to get rid of a wasp's nest
17:55I can absolutely hear with this football
17:57Do it
17:58Do it
17:59They're ready to run
18:00Because they're going to come
18:00Do it
18:06I don't
18:12What's that?
18:15No
18:19Are you okay?
18:21Yeah, I'm okay
18:34Holy hell.
