Okay, well, my problem is this is that, you know, after purchasing the property, I went downtown to the city and actually looked at, you know, the the layout of this entire property and when I look at it, you actually twenty five close to thirty feet over the property line.

Speaker 2

Well no, you looking at the wrong map.

Speaker 1

No, no.

Speaker 1

The fence that separates my backyard from your backyard, you are thirty feet over that.

Speaker 2

That's impossible.

Speaker 2

You know, no.

Speaker 1

Listen, and I know this now, let me let me I'm gonna tell you uh I uh look at you got a jacuzzi in your backyard, right?

Speaker 2

Oh so you've been you've been spying on me?

Speaker 1

No, I'm inspying on you, sir.

Speaker 1

I'm just telling you.

Speaker 1

Cl close to that not far from that fence line, don't don't you have a jacuzzi there?

Speaker 2

Well y as a matter of fact I do, yes.

Speaker 1

Okay.

Speaker 1

Now the pool is the pool is okay.

Speaker 1

But but if I if I push that fence line back thirty and actually get the property that I'm supposed to have.

Speaker 1

I pretty much own your your jacuzzi, your hot tub.

Speaker 2

I see.

Speaker 2

Okay.

Speaker 2

Let me tell you something.

Speaker 2

Uh I've been in that house for ten years.

Speaker 2

We put that fence up when we moved in, and it was based on the property line that was that was set when uh ten years ago.

Speaker 2

I don't know what you're looking at, but my fence is not moving.

Speaker 2

My jacuzzi's not moving, and there's there's no changing that.

Speaker 1

Okay.

Speaker 1

Well, let me let me let me I'm glad you you voice what you wanted to voice.

Speaker 1

No, no, no, no, no, no, you hear you hear old Clifford out.

Speaker 1

Let me tell you something.

Speaker 1

Uh either we gonna take the fence line and move it where it's supposed to be, or we're gonna put a gate between uh uh our two yards, and I'm gonna be able to come and get in this jacuzzi and pool whenever I want to.

Speaker 2

All right, let's let's let's let's talk about this.

Speaker 2

First of all, there's gonna not gonna be any gate, okay?

Speaker 2

And as far as you just coming over and getting in the jacuzzi at will, uh I got a real problem with that.

Speaker 2

Uh you've called me at work.

Speaker 2

Uh I'm on the job and I'm having to listen to this on a future neighbor uh who who's making weird claims about how he owns part of my land.

Speaker 1

I own the jacuzzi, sir.

Speaker 2

No, no, you did not pay for that f jacuzzi.

Speaker 2

You did not pay for that fence.

Speaker 2

You just showed up making uh you call me at work and and and and and then you hand me some story uh with no evidence.

Speaker 2

I'll go down to City Hall and look at those papers myself, because I don't trust a f word you're saying.

Speaker 2

I've been there for ten years, I've had ten other f neighbors in that backyard.

Speaker 2

Y'all cycle through once a year, I swear, and I've never had any problems with them until you come along.

Speaker 2

This is some Okay.

Speaker 1

Well I tell you what, here's here's something you need to understand.

Speaker 1

You got a new black neighbor, and you got a new black neighbor that owns part owns your jacuzzi because you're over the fence line.

Speaker 1

All right, and as soon as I move in, I'm coming and I'm getting in my jacuzzi.

Speaker 2

You will, man.

Speaker 1

You know what I mean?

Speaker 2

This white guy is maybe gonna burn down your full.

Speaker 1

Move into that.

Speaker 1

I'm gonna use the jacuzzi on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Speaker 1

You get it on Tuesday, Thursday, and the weekend.

Speaker 1

That's it.

Speaker 1

Because part of this damn jacuzzi belongs to me.

Speaker 1

The jacuzzi is owned by a black man and a white man.

Speaker 1

And we gonna get along.

Speaker 1

Bottom line.

Speaker 2

Look here.

Speaker 2

Well, listen here, you are you to dictate what f days I get to use my jacuzzi.

Speaker 2

Because it's not coming over to my day.

Speaker 2

It's not just your car.

Speaker 1

It's our jacuzzi.

Speaker 1

Because you you built it.

Speaker 1

That's the only thing that makes it yours.

Speaker 1

It being on my part of the property helps make it mine.

Speaker 1

So therefore, we're gonna share this damn jacuzzi and we're gonna try to kill your free f<unk>ing jacuzzi.

Speaker 2

I'm tossing your f<unk> across the fence.

Speaker 2

I will be there Mondays, Wednesdays, and you ain't gonna be I'll be standing at my jacuzzi with a shotgun.

Speaker 2

You take one step over to my property.
