Shut Up & Love Your Neighbor

The anchor episode. Dave's friend, Shannon, came in from Denver and did the thing nobody had done on the show yet — sat Dave down and defined the whole phrase, one word at a time.
Shut up isn't aimed at anyone else. It's an internal pause — quieting the filters and preconceptions before you decide whether someone's worth your time. The and makes it a "so-that." Love is a verb, not a feeling. And your neighbor is simply whoever's in your path: the coworker, the person across the street, the stranger in the parking lot.
We get into why "shut up" earns the attention, how the message keeps landing with people on both ends of the political spectrum (human first, political eighth or ninth — not second), what "this isn't charity, it's a chorus" actually means, and the small tweak that changed one woman's entire sense of her place in the world.
This isn't a passive podcast. It's an invitation. Remember the message, wear the reminder, share it when someone asks.

Shut Up & Love Your Neighbor is a weekly conversation about listening better, slowing down, and loving the people right in front of us. In a world that rewards volume and certainty, this podcast explores presence over performance, curiosity over commentary, and connection over division.
Each episode features honest reflections on real-life moments — the things seen, heard, and experienced in everyday life — followed by unscripted conversations with rotating guest hosts who come ready with real questions. Sometimes we laugh. Sometimes we sit in tension. Occasionally there’s a little brown water involved. But always, the goal is the same: to practice being more human with one another.
This isn’t a show about having all the answers. It’s about asking better questions. It’s about listening longer than feels comfortable. It’s about choosing kindness in small moments that often go unnoticed.
If you’re looking for perfection, this isn’t it. If you’re looking for thoughtful conversation about relationships, empathy, faith, leadership, and community — welcome.
Shut up a little more than usual.
Love your neighbor — the one right in front of you.
Hey everybody, I'm Dave. I'm Shannon and welcome to Shut Up and Love Your Neighbor. Hopefully you're following us on the Instagram. It's the Dave. And if you have feedback, comments, concerns on the podcast, you can hit us up at thedave at shutupandlovyourneighbor.com. So super pumped you guys dropped in here. I want to introduce my buddy Shannon. Um, and this is going to be what we refer to as an anchor episode. So all things shut up and love your neighbor, uh, FAQs, um, vision, philosophy, passion behind it, everything we can cram into 30 minutes, which that's pretty challenging for me. Yeah. That's what you're in charge. We'll do it. Yeah, I'm in charge of this one. This is good. So, Shannon, uh, the the list of people that we trust with this type of episode is pretty short. Uh, so you're up. But um, we have another episode we'll put out kind of describing our relationship and what the connection is. But in short, in town from Denver, carving out the time to really kind of support us and help us to capture what is Shut Up and Love Your Neighbor.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I was excited to do the Sanker episode because you and producer Candy had shared bits and pieces of what this was all about and what how it was all kind of playing out and rolling out. I've watched a couple of the episodes, and it's like in one episode you might give a definition, or or here in another episode, you kind of mentioned it apart. So this was kind of exciting for me because I definitely can't jump into something unless I've like researched it. For sure, I've understood everything, etc. So I'm excited. I've written out nine questions, but that's actually misleading because I have sub questions and I have sections within each question, et cetera. But I am not surprised. Yeah. I've I've prepped for this. So I want to be able to ask you these questions so just for my own benefit, but then obviously for the viewers, they can see everything.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. All right, awesome. All right, then let's just get into it.
SPEAKER_01Okay. All right. I always like to start with definitions. Okay. And so shut up and love your neighbor is a phrase. I'm gonna parse that out. Oh so I want you to first define shut up. Ah. So why are you using it? What do you mean by it, etc.? Yeah.
SPEAKER_00So it is um, how would you say it is introspective? No, it's it's directed internally, right? In other words, um, it is not any of us saying shut up to anyone else. It is really an internal expression um to really quiet and recenter some of the default postures that we have in our culture today, um, as far as you know, determining which scenarios we're going to, you know, be a good neighbor in, or which person we're going to um, you know, be able to help. But instead, you know, internally sort of shut up those filters and those um uh what's the word? Um preconceptions, you might have to be able to do that. Preconceptions, yes, a hundred percent. And instead just go straight to the love your neighbor portion.
SPEAKER_01Okay, yeah. So the shut up is something you say to yourself, not in a mean or self-demeaning way, but like, hey, let me stop and pause. Just pause for a second here. Okay. And so that makes sense because the next word is and it's not the message is not shut up, it's shut up and so there's a or or a so that, right? Correct. Okay.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_01So the so that is to love your neighbor. We're gonna we're gonna focus in on love. Yeah. Loaded question. It is. What is love?
SPEAKER_00Um, so I mean, at you know, from a cultural perspective, at the just the most basic level, we can all agree that it's a verb, right? It's a verb. So um it's not about how any of this feels or um anything like that. It is an action, it is meant to do for others, right? Now, as a person of faith, I do that in the sense of modeling after Jesus, right? That is the model I try to follow. Um for somebody who's of no particular faith. Again, back to the action. It's about it's about doing good, doing the obvious loving thing when the need presents itself. Again, shutting those filters off before you get to that point.
SPEAKER_01Okay. So love in English is used a ton of different ways, right? I love cake, I love this TV show, I love my friend, I love my wife, whatever, right? Um I'm guessing that you're you don't want it to be like you can define love however you want in some broad thing, but you're also not requiring everyone to have the exact same definition of love.
SPEAKER_00Sure, sure. And I mean, everyone's circumstances are different, people in different parts of the country, people of different cultural backgrounds, you know, different age groups. It's going to look different for each person. Um but it's really about the desired outcome, which we probably will will get to.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Um, but that's that's really, you know, it's it's responding to the scenarios that we're presented with, right? Being open to respond. Whatever the scenario is. Whatever the scenario is, and then you know, having having that positive outcome.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. And you mentioned uh just a minute ago about needs. So would you say one of the core ideas or concepts around love that like most people would hold to, especially with this movement that we're gonna break down, uh meeting a need or caring for someone in their need?
SPEAKER_00Absolutely. I mean, that's a that's a one of the clear no-brainer ones, I feel like, you know, where we don't have to go far to you know find someone on your street or in your workplace or in your family where needs are present, whether those are you know emotional support needs, maybe someone's going through a hard time, whether that's a financial need because of you know economic conditions or employment, advice needs advice needs, uh relational needs, you know, any, I mean, on and on and on it can go. Yeah, absolutely.
SPEAKER_01And I think you just answered it because you mentioned uh coworker, family, neighbor, etc. It's so it's it's shut up, kind of pause, and then love your neighbor. And so we broke down briefly. Well, I'm sure we'll get more into this with love. Who's your neighbor?
SPEAKER_00So that's a great question. So I think, you know, depending on who you ask, you might get different answers for that, right? I mean, some people might hear that and think literally. So my neighbor on either side of my home. Okay. Um, or other people might consider, you know, who's sitting next to you. You grow up in school and people be kind to your neighbor, whoever's sitting next to you, that you know, that kind of thing. Um the perspective that we're operating from is really whoever is in your path in your day-to-day life. So if in a day, in the span of a day, you know, I'm encountering people on my street, people in my neighborhood, people at work, people in whatever I'm doing after work, maybe I'm involved in some sort of a social club or some type of group from church, whatever it might be, maybe something in you know, uh community involvement, like around your where you live, right? Um those those are going to be the different places that we interact with people, right? And so um I totally forgot the question. So who's your neighbor? Oh, who is your neighbor? Yeah.
SPEAKER_01So let me let me ask this. Yeah. Is anyone not my neighbor?
SPEAKER_00Uh again, from our perspective, where we're coming from, the answer to that is no. Everyone is your neighbor. Okay. Um any potential person you could have interactions with. Correct. I mean, the only the only way that I could find myself answering that differently is if we were talking about people that you've never met or interacted with or don't even know about. They might not be your neighbor yet. Okay. But if you ever interact with them, now they're your neighbor.
SPEAKER_01In the moment. In the moment, they are absolutely your neighbor. So even in the parking lot outside the store. Absolutely. Okay. Absolutely. So you've thank you for that for breaking those down. Let's put it all together. So the phrase is shut up and love your neighbor. Why add the shut up? Why not just have the message, hey guys, love your neighbor?
SPEAKER_00Yeah. So I think a couple of reasons. One, um, there's a little bit of a shock factor with it, to be perfectly honest. It gets your attention. Um, and we want to get someone's attention so that they will receive the love your neighbor part of the message. You know. Um, but the second uh reason I think is it serves as sort of a generic reminder or um prompt, if you will. In other words, um, as much as we have lived this message, as much as we believe in this message, uh want to see a community of people grow into massive amounts, right? Um, spreading this message. Even with all of that, we we fall short in executing on this message, yeah, right. Um, and so, you know, I I have a keychain in my uh vehicle, and every time I get in, I see it. And so those words, shut up, go through my head. And it is just that that, okay, remember, get back on it here, right? Flush out the noise in your head. Yeah, Paul. And the things that maybe I saw scrolling 10 minutes before I got in the car and watching the news, and everything is, you know, so heavy. It's don't forget, get that stuff out of your head and be looking for who's gonna be in front of you so that you're prepared to love them.
SPEAKER_01Okay. Yeah. So that's like a uh a meta snapshot. Yep. And because this is an anchor episode, we're not gonna go into like major detail because that's what the other episodes are gonna cover. Right. And so I've seen I've seen some of them already, you know, you're gonna have more, and you're gonna get into specifics of how you can love your neighbor. Here's an example, here's an example, etc. So you would encourage people obviously to watch the other episodes, get the details. Having said that, can you just uh kind of off the cuff in a real succinct way, give me one or two examples of how someone can love their neighbor?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, absolutely. Uh right here on my street, I'll give you an example going both ways. It's it's kind of the almost cliche, but it is a very basic example. Um, our neighbor across the street, quite uh routinely when we would travel or or go back home to see family, um we would ask, hey, can you grab some packages off our steps, right? Can you put the trash can back in the garage? Yes. And the answer was always yes. But that evolved into we might not necessarily have asked before we left town. Like it's just one package, it'll be fine sitting on the steps. Yeah. Only to find out that he will see the package and go get it in. Open the garage, toss it in there, shoot me a text. Hey, saw a package out there, I dropped it in your garage. You know, so number of examples like that of people just eventually moving into a stage where you just take care of each other. You literally are loving one another. Yeah. Right. Um, but that that precise neighbor um had never really, over the course of you know, multiple years, had occasion to reach out and ask for anything in return. So when they did, um it was 8 15 in the evening, okay, and they were at Walmart, and they had purchased a TV unknowingly that was too large for their vehicle.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00It couldn't quite get it in the back. And so he reached out and producer Candy's immediate response because I was in bed. I know you. I was in around bedtime. Yeah. She she said, and I mean she didn't have to convince me, um, but she said, you need to get up and go. Yeah. And so I did. What's interesting about that is in the conversation on the way here, I was in the car just me and my neighbor, and I had also shared that we might be relocating. Not sure why I said relocating, but relocating. Um, I also put the recycles out to the curve every Thursday. And and producer Candy makes fun of me for that. But anyway, um, I mentioned that, and his response was, you know, oh man, we're, you know, it was disappointment. And he literally said, you know, we've never experienced living the way that we have around you guys. Like that was our first exposure, and it's it's just been so awesome. To which I said, now it's your turn. Uh now you need to go and do that. We're gonna leave and go do it somewhere else. Yeah, you take the lead and and do that. And he's like, All right, I got it.
SPEAKER_01I I like that you know he said, Oh, I I really enjoyed this, but at least this was the not the only time that you had helped him, but it's like the one you meant. But there was a lot of times when he had just helped you guys, right? And it sounds like he was actually enjoying the two-way nature of that. Absolutely, absolutely. So, so that's an easy one. Um, give me an example of what might be an advanced or much more difficult or much more challenging way to love somebody. Wow.
SPEAKER_00Um, I mean there's a couple of them. So, I mean, we've done we've done things, you know, there's sort of always for for people who might not go to church, there's sort of this assumption that, oh, if you're doing something in the church, like everything works and people are kind, or people, right? There's sort of this this perception. Um I mean, we've done ministry things with with people and had you know different visions on long-term goals. We've had different philosophies, different philosophies around the whole thing, and and that has produced tension at times. Yeah. Fortunately, we sort of, you know, share in common that true north and are able to come back and and talk through things and discuss them and and so on and so forth. But but I have definitely you know experienced tension there. Um I think you know, there have been opportunities or neighbors or you know, people that we've met that I knew for one reason or another needed kindness, needed, you know, something there was something I needed to do in that scenario for that person. Um when in fact, you know, that person might not necessarily be somebody I would normally click with or have a lot in common with, or you know, spend time with, that sort of thing. But, you know, you sort of forego that. That's not the point. The point is this person is who's in front of me now, and there's a need.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00And I'm able to meet that need.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Right. Um, just with time or conversation or or some attention or whatever it might be. So I've had those scenarios too.
SPEAKER_01And I I would guess you would say, like, hey, if you're starting out, you know, new to get like you like this concept and you want to try to do it yourself, yeah, start out with something easier. Uh, help them with a package or whatever. But just know that uh it's not gonna stay there. That as you get better at this, as this becomes more innate or default to you, you're gonna get challenged where you're gonna find yourself, oh man, you know what? I need to show them love when I don't feel like showing that particular person love, or I'm not in a mood to show it. So there's the the the there's a common leveling up, yeah? Yep. Okay. Um, how does this concept interact with this loud, tense climate that we live in right now? You know, a political climate, religious climate, economical climate, etc.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. I think it creates tension, for sure, um, in the best way.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Um I think that what we have found early on is um something that I paid very close attention to and um sort of protective of, and it's this we have had people reach out uh and affirm the message, right, of shut up and love your neighbor and express support, right? Alignment who are on the far right of the political spectrum and also who are on the far left of the political spectrum. I appreciate that. And so when when I kind of tuned into that, I I became very protective in in in a way of the whole thing, um wanting to be very careful and respectful of the fact that this is an arena that is you know human first, political eighth or ninth, right? That's what I'll say. Okay, not second.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Um but because the culture climate right now is so charged in multiple areas, political just being one of them, um it's a fine line. It is a very fine line. Uh, and it's our hope that over time people realize this is a space uh where there's room for everyone.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Uh kindness does not discriminate, right? It's something we all need uh to receive, it's something that we all really need to give, because when you give kindness, ultimately you're the receiver of the joy of that. Yeah. Um, anyway. So yeah, that's what I would say.
SPEAKER_01Uh you've mentioned kindness a couple of times. Do you know what kindness means in the Greek? I do not know what kindness means in the Greek. Uh, when Paul uses it in 1 Corinthians 13, it means useful. Useful. Okay. So in English, kindness, especially let's say from the South, it might mean you're just polite or nice. Right. When we say kindness, like act of an active kindness. An act of kindness, absolutely. We're looking at something useful. Yeah. Wow. Um, I've seen you right before there was a phrase. Uh, this isn't charity, it's a chorus or something like that. Can you elaborate on that? Yeah.
SPEAKER_00I don't know. So, so there's a place that's new. So that's uh that's a place on uh the the website on on the homepage. Um and I believe it is aligned with um kind of signing up for the newsletter that's gonna be coming out. Okay, and so the the phrase there is join the chorus, um, which is just to just to play, join the community, um become one of the voices, right? That is promoting this message, that is that is open to conversation that comes your way about this message, right? And about the need and and so on and so forth. But yeah, that's the chorus. The chorus is what we uh will be referring to as, you know, also the neighborhood. Yeah. Like people who want to participate in this and and become a part of it, they're gonna be in the neighborhood.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_00Right.
SPEAKER_01Uh all right. This is a two-part question. Oh boy. Uh, what reactions have you gotten so far from this as you've kind of initiated? And then the the follow-up or second part of that question is like, is would you say this is for this message, this movement, this this course is for these kind of people and not these kind of people? Like, was that a question you would answer? You know, so start with what kind of reactions have you got? You know, because the reactions could be very positive, right? Could be very negative. Yeah. What kind of reactions have you gotten? And then has that helped you sort of discern who may be your main audience and who may not be your audience? Great question.
SPEAKER_00So um full transparency. Um being honest, the reaction has absolutely shocked me. Okay. Now it's it's interesting for me to say that because it really shouldn't shock me. In other words, if we were to sit down last November and talk about the state of our country or the the state of the world, or right, here's what's going on, and here's how people are engaging with one another, that would have been a conversation that didn't shock me. I could participate in, I have real world experience in that right perspective. And if you'd have said after that, don't you think there's a need for like some kind of kindness movement or so, you know, I would have said, Of course, no brainer. But even with that logical baseline, when we first put the very first video out in December, which was a cocktail video, yeah, the response was swift.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_00Uh I mean, within 30 minutes of posting that, we had been contacted outside of Instagram. So by text message or direct message, right? Yeah. Um, I want to say like six or seven people were compelled to reach out and say, What is this? Right. And then as it built from there, the response was just more than what I, even though the need is obvious, the response still shocked me, right? So when we wear t-shirts, hoodies that have the message, almost, probably not every single time, but almost every time, somebody will stop us. They will come up, they will start a conversation. Love your shirt. What is that about? Is that religious? Is that political? Right? We have been asked all kinds of questions. Hey, we're looking that up right now. Yeah, we found it. We want to get that, right? That's the part that shocks me. I'm like, so it's it's kind of hard to explain. Like, I can see why people would resonate, yeah, right, why the message would resonate with people for sure, 100%. It resonates with me. Yeah. But the response, and again, it covers the spectrum. Yeah, it doesn't matter where they're coming from, what their age is, nothing. They and they are brave, right? Yeah. We don't typically go up to strangers and went, man, I love that. I see what's on your shirt there. Tell me about it. You know, we just don't do that. But people are.
SPEAKER_01And that part shocks me. So I think it on one hand, it is sort of a uh a duh acknowledgement. Of course we need more kindness. Of course, of course we should need more love. Of course, love's gonna help, right? Right. So it's sort of a duh acknowledgement. But because it's not talked about a lot and it's practiced even less, when you see someone who's talking about and practicing the duh acknowledgement, that's what gets their attention. Right. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Cool. Um, so going forward, actually, does that kind of explain how all this started? Or is there another component like like I know you've said before you've told me, like you kind of just fell into this.
SPEAKER_00We did just we initially fell into it. Um, I mean, and that story is on the on the website. I it's pretty clear. It was a fun cocktail video. Um, I had on my Facebook page for at least three or four years, in my little whatever they call it, where you describe yourself. Tagline or buy it. It said hashtag um shut up and love somebody. Okay. Yeah, yeah, ignore that. Nobody ever said a word to me about that. My wife didn't even know producer candy, did not even know that was on my Facebook page. But four years ago, and that particular wording, uh-huh. But now here we are in 2026, and just a little tweak to that from shut up and love somebody to shut up and love your neighbor, and yeah, yeah, it resonates. So there's a timing there. It is, and it but it but to be clear, purely by accident. Okay.
SPEAKER_01But then you saw something. We did. We this was something you and Producer Candy have already embraced for a long time.
SPEAKER_00The DNA behind this phrase was already there for us. Yeah, we weren't walking around the house every night saying, shut up and love your neighbor to each other. Right.
SPEAKER_01But you you were intentional, both of you intentional.
SPEAKER_00We've lived our lives this way for 15 years.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So moving towards wrapping all this up, another two-parter. Um, if someone is watching this episode and they've already watched a number of other episodes, so they already have kind of the gist of like what's going on, what's something you want them to remember? Let me go ahead and give both parts. So for someone who's watched this a bunch of times already, what's just something you want to remind them of or you want to make sure they remember? And then if this is someone who's watching this for the first time and they're seeing this anchor episode, they're kind of getting an idea, what's the one little baby step you would encourage them to take next?
SPEAKER_00So, um first question first. Okay. Um I think what I would want to, I don't know if it's a reminder because I don't know if I've characterized it like this. Um, and it's not a direct answer to your question, but uh I think I would want people to understand that while there have been some compelling and moving stories told on the podcast so far uh in the first season, um this is not meant or intended to be a passive podcast. Yeah, yeah. This is meant to invite people in. Um yes, to be inspired by something you hear, a story, an example of somebody, to have some laughs, of course. We're having a good time here, we're sipping on bourbon, right? All the things that we do, but ultimately it's an invitation to participate.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Right? Um in I'm so hesitant to use the word movement. Several people do, but I I don't use that word really. Um like a philosophy or a paradigm. It's an invitation into this experience with us, right? Um and I challenge people to look for the space in their context to just tweak a little something. So that leads me to the answer uh to your second question, which I I think I would answer with an example. Okay. Um, like as far as what is a small thing, right? We uh had an encounter uh with a very nice woman, um, and we had a chance to, in a different context, spend time with and and um have some deep conversations over a period of uh you know 12 or 14 weeks. And this person in their condo building used to go out the back door so that they would not see or interact with anyone.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_00Okay, and they didn't want to do that, yeah. But at the same time, they were they were compelled and moved to make a change, right? Um, wanting to participate in this idea of loving your neighbors, right?
SPEAKER_01And or wanting to want to, wanting to want to, yes.
SPEAKER_00Um and they made an adjustment and started going out the front and started passing people and started having conversations and very quickly saw what a difference it made for the people around them, yeah, a difference it made for them to be connecting with people. Not in the elevator having a 30-minute conversation about the story of your life, but just kindness, yeah. Right? Exactly, the small things. And that tweak, dare I say, I mean, really changed her perspective on her role in the world. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_01So it was a domino effect there. Yeah. Uh one thing I like that you've said before, kind of to that question, is remember the message, uh, wear the message. Wear the reminder. Yeah, wear the reminder, and then share, right? Yeah. So remember the message. Remember this concept. Wear it. Not from any kind of like product line type thing, but just you have found personally, that's a great way to continue the message. Right. If someone sees a sweatshirt or hat or whatever, right? Or coffee cup. Yeah. Uh, and then share the message. Uh, so if someone asks you about it, you should be able to kind of explain well, here's my takeaway from this, and this is what I'm trying to do. Right. Yeah, et cetera. Okay. Yeah. All right. Last question. Uh, I'll put you on the spot on this one. Five to ten years from now, oh my gosh. Uh, this way of living, yeah, this mindset, this hard set, uh, has just continued to be something special. What do you what do you see? What would that look like? Oh man. Which could be, you know, obviously there's a bunch of ways this could play out. Yeah. But what's one little thing like, man, if five to ten years from now this occurred, yeah, I'd be it it would please me, right?
SPEAKER_00So with the premise that if you'd asked me, I turned 55 years old this year. If you'd asked me that this is what I was gonna be starting at 55 and and learning all these apps and AI and Instagram and social media trends and algorithm, all of that, yeah, I would have said no thank you. Right? I just did not see that. Um living the lifestyle, absolutely. Um and so quite frankly, I think I think um that's a phrase I say a lot. Uh I think strangely, if five years, ten years from now, a simple email that comes in that says, Man, I just I just caught on to this, and I've done A, B, and C in my neighborhood, and here's what's happening, and we're we're having just great conversations, or we, you know, we've lived next to each other for five years and never hung out, and now we do wine night once a month, and we're just loving getting to know each other. You know, anything simple. If we're still doing this and getting little messages like that, that's that's the win. Yeah, that's what you want. Yeah, and then, like you said, the domino effect. Um, you know, make the tweak, watch what happens, and then provoke or inspire somebody else to do the same.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00You know, share it.
SPEAKER_01You know what I think would be cool is if five or ten years from now you're sitting with somebody, you start a conversation, whether it's at the airport or dinner or whatever, and but it's a new person, and you guys are starting to get a little deep, and they say, Hey, I want to share with you this mindset or heart set that I had that I learned a couple years ago watching these like podcasts and stuff. Um, and I want to introduce it to you. No, like they're telling you. Oh, yeah, maybe they don't recognize or maybe it's moved to audio only. Yeah, and they're like, it's it's called Shut Up and Love Your Neighbor. Yeah, and this is how I've experienced it. I just think that would be awesome.
SPEAKER_00And and I could just say, wow, that is inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing that, and just move on. Yeah. That would be phenomenal.
SPEAKER_01I'm gonna surprise uh producer candy, and I'm gonna ask this bonus question that might get edited out uh in the in the time frame. Oh boy. The the internet wants to know is producer candy ever gonna make an appearance?
SPEAKER_00I mean, I cannot answer that question directly for producer candy. Um she has she has appeared in photograph, uh-huh, still shots, uh, on the Instagram. Uh her voice has has snuck into some of those videos. Uh her hand has been in a couple of videos, as I've handed off a cocktail. So I would say to you, I think we're making progress, right? Uh there is hope. But here's what I would say. If having producer candy sit in the seat that you're sitting in is something that people in the neighborhood want to see, they should send us a message. Uh either via text, if they have our cell phones, email the Dave at shutupandlovyourneighbor.com. Uh you can direct message us, and let's see if we can get a chorus of voices loud enough to inspire her to take a look.
SPEAKER_01I'm dating myself a little bit, but uh hashtag we want producer candy.
SPEAKER_00Hashtag we want producer candy.
SPEAKER_01What would that be? Uh WWPC. Yeah, WWPC, yeah.
SPEAKER_00The fact that it took us that long to think it was WWPC does not bode well for us.
SPEAKER_01Uh Dave, thank you for this has actually been helpful for me. Yeah, kind of absolutely.
SPEAKER_00Thank you for Ancino's questions. Thank you. And uh yeah, shoot us at questions and uh comments, anything at all, and we'll keep it going. Yeah, until then, shut up and love your neighbor. Please.
