Let me see if I can make it where you finally get on board with the neighborhood diary being just a little much.

SPEAKER_01 0:07

Oh, I was on board from the beginning.

SPEAKER_00 0:10

Well, yes, but you you're you're super beyond nosy. This is to me super intrusive. Like if I found out that my neighbors had kept such a strict diary of not just me, but everybody.

SPEAKER_01 0:23

And I'm just imagine the drama that comes out of your house.

SPEAKER_00 0:26

Go oh my God. Going back to, you know, we're talking this diary went back to the 60s, maybe before that. Like this is hardcore. And then now they're questioning, should we keep it going because the previous owners left it? Did they leave it? Do you think they left it because they're like, well, whoever buys this house should know how nutty the neighborhood is? Or do you think the woman had had to have been a woman? This is not a guy thing. There was no guy in the 1960s that was doing a diary like this. You know that this was a woman in a house dress who got bored in between bacon pies.

SPEAKER_01 0:57

Uh-huh. And I can prove it to you even more in a second, but go ahead.

SPEAKER_00 1:00

Well, get a load of this. The diary even had entries of what time people left for work and what time they came home.

SPEAKER_01 1:07

So if it's So it's either nosy or serial killer.

SPEAKER_00 1:10

Or serial killer, because now think about this. Let's say Helen across the street. We're going back to the 60s with the names here. Helen across the street, you know, she's like, well, my husband has been working later. Yes. You know, and all of a sudden it's like the, you know, the secretary seems to be dropping him off now.

SPEAKER_01 1:31

I really wish I lived in the neighborhood then because I know You sure you want your laundry in that book? Oh, well, I mean, the speculation, the speculation. I mean, I can lay it out for you right now. Because as far as me going to work, pretty boring, same schedule every single day. Sometimes it's a little later, maybe a little earlier, you never know. And I'm out in my robe. No big deal. But when it comes to the spec speculation, just think about it. Think of like, oh, well, she was uh with this person from this day to this day, and then moved out, and then moved back here, and then it and and I just I I mean, obviously the speculation happens here on the daily, what's really going on in our lives. Imagine being in a book or on a podcast. Yeah, well, that's where it lies lies. Yes, but I can understand that it's a female because I was just telling Zach this story the other day, and this is an old, old Scott and Alley story. How I go to work at five o'clock every single morning. I have to be out of the house by 5 12. And there was always this baby stroller that was, and this is when I lived on the north side of Corning. I lived on Decatur Street, so this is a long time ago. And young Allie, I would see this person walking a baby at 5 a.m. Yep. And I got really freaked out. At first, I thought, okay, the baby is crying, no problem. They obviously are trying to get it to calm down. Well, then it kept happening, and then it was pouring rain, and they're walking this baby. And I thought, first of all, this has got to be some sort of abuse. So what do I do? I call the cops. At that point, I had a really good relationship with the corning cops. I knew them, I knew a bunch of them very well.

SPEAKER_00 3:08

I mean, most of them had pulled you over for speeding by that point.

SPEAKER_01 3:11

So they got to know you by a first name basis. Exactly. So they said, if this happens again, you need to call us. So I it happened again. I call corning police. Bring bring. I don't know why it says bring bring. Anyway, bring bring. There's this person walking in a baby stroller at 5 a.m. What's going on? They pulled a person over. And if you've never heard this story, it was a person delivering newspapers out of a stroller. And they were chuckling. I'm retelling the story. Now, Zach's hearing this story for the first time. You know, we haven't been together that long. So I'm telling him for the story for the first time, and he says, You called the cops?

SPEAKER_00 3:48

Yeah. Yeah, I didn't know. Well, you were concerned maybe the baby, you know, maybe maybe it was an what's the term you like to use? Unhome person. Oh, an unhomed person? Maybe I think originally you were thinking they were homeless or there were drugs involved. They didn't know what they were doing. They were out walking the kids and the baby in the rain.

SPEAKER_01 4:04

I just thought maybe there was a shiv in the the the stroller.

SPEAKER_00 4:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:08

And he said, I can't believe you're so nosy that you call the cops. I said, Oh, I've called the cops many times at five o'clock in the morning.

SPEAKER_00 4:15

Strangely, Allie didn't get the uh the corning leader anymore after that. Like they stopped delivering immediately. Screw this woman. Probably because they closed. Oh, yeah, that too.
