A guy buys the cheaper corner lot, then tells his neighbors which bushes they're allowed to plant...because their yard is the only thing between him and the lake view. Well, they planted twenty HOA-approved palms. Amber and Jen get into this Story from the Hood and one about a garden-theft that ends with a grown man getting hosed down over a handful of tomatoes. 

Our question of the week reveals the first cars Jen and Amber called their own. Amber shares an unexpected update on the pickleball millionaire (FYI - he's been arrested again) and we cover Pennsylvania's deeply uninspired new license plates.

Amber and Jen dig into one of the best stories from the hood yet, starting with a guy whose neighbor "Karen" turns his backyard pool into her personal water park then hands him a typed list of pool rules for HIS OWN pool. Savage.

They also unpack a neighborhood snooping scandal that ends in glorious googly-eyed revenge, and finally crack the case on why there are so many olive oil stores (spoiler: it's probably a drug front). 

Along the way: the childhood phobias that honestly still hold up, Amber's audiobook narrator retreat, Jen's furniture-buying adventures, and a real website where you can buy a seat at a stranger's wedding. 

If you've ever had an entitled neighbor, an irrational childhood fear, or strong opinions about olive oil, this one's for you.

Meet Tiffany Song...Amber and Jen's actual next-door neighbor on Pinetree, and a therapist who's spent 20 years treating OCD and phobias, including emetophobia (fear of vomiting), which she says is the most-Googled phobia name there is. 

She breaks down exposure and response prevention therapy, "safety behaviors," and why cold and flu season (or back-to-school) can quietly wreck your peace of mind. 

Then it's a hard swerve into the fun stuff: a 14-hour flight to Seoul, palace tours, Korean food, and the neighborhood mystery of a scream that turned out to be...not a person. 

Plus: the songs Amber, Jen, and Tiffany will never skip, and why liking your neighbors is actually good for your mental health!

Amber and Jen are furious about an HOA that forced a dad to tear down the treehouse he built with his sons during the pandemic...and rightly so. This episode covers neighbor drama stories, including a petty revenge package thief, why e-bikes continue to divide the masses (and our position is backed by Pennsylvania law), and a beautiful silver lining about neighbors who show up for each other. 

From HOA overreach to hilarious petty justice, this is the chaos and community that makes Neighbors Neighboring tick.

It's the Neighbors Neighboring one-year anniversary, and Amber and Jen are celebrating with a new format...plus a story that proves community gardens are secretly organized crime. 

Twenty plots, a hundred-person wait list, a 95-year-old "garden kingpin," plot squatters, surprise City Hall audits, and a possible rat. It's unhinged in the best way. 

Along the way: the origin of their new "Chinny Wag" segment (and how Bowen Yang got credit for it), Jen's giant childhood oil portrait she never mentioned before, elderly parkour for graceful falling, and a heated debate over whether lettuce actually has nutrients. 

Thank you for being with us for an entire year! We love you, neighbors.

Ghosting after "exclusive" is apparently a whole epidemic among adult men, and Amber and Jen have had enough...well, we've had enough on behalf of unmarried friends.

This week they break down Operation Dirtbag: the real story of Jen and her friend group staking out a guy at a bar after he blocked one of their own, then slid into her friend's DMs a month later.

They also confess their latest Instagram impulse buys (a one-size caftan that swallowed Amber whole, a wine sampler that tasted like an Italian vacation, and dig into a Reddit story about a neighbor who stole a missing cat and the unexpected arrest that followed.

If you've ever been ghosted, been suckered by an Instagram ad, or had a genuinely unhinged neighbor, this one's for you.

Amber and Jen sit down with Jen's personal healer, Bethany Schaub. Bethany is a massage therapist, Reiki master, and owner of Transcend Bodyworks. Bethany breaks down what Reiki actually is and the biggest misconceptions about massage (spoiler: nobody cares if you shaved your legs).

Amber shares an infamous Mexico spa story that involves a washcloth doing way too much work.

Then they get into Bethany's latest passion project: her work with 3 Roots Rising, the Costa Rica wellness retreat she's running with two lifelong friends, complete with chakra work, silent breakfasts, ecstatic dance...and actual breaks to enjoy your time away from home however you'd like to.

The next 3 Roots Rising Costa Rica retreat will take place March 21-26, 2027.

Amber and Jen are back with a full docket: sidewalks, snacks, and a public apology.

First up, we address a genuine betrayal. It turns out green Haribo gummy bears are strawberry, not lime. Jen issues a heartfelt retraction to Red Nose Charlie after last week's clown scare.

Then the two dig into thank you note etiquette: when a handwritten note is required, when a text is fine, and why nobody should guilt anyone into sending one.

Plus: new sidewalks in the neighborhood and an alarmingly early back-to-school season.

Amber and Jen are back with *another* take on the same episode (Amber didn't hit record the first time. Yes, really.), and this one's a rollercoaster.

They're talking neighborhood sightings that'll haunt you: a dude in the rubber clown nose, a woman on a mobility device with zero lights at night, kids on motorized bikes popping wheelies at intersections. But between the apocalyptic vibes (forest fires, parasitic lettuce, air so bad you can't breathe), they hatch the greatest community idea ever: the **Pinetree Jitney** ... a shared golf cart for the neighborhood.

They also dive into astrology birth charts, debate whether they're control freaks, analyze their own defense mechanisms, and give out early shout-outs to their swag shop early supporters.

It's funny, it's honest, it's slightly unhinged, and it's exactly why you love these two.

Amber and Jen tackle a real dilemma: a Reddit user's neighbors left for six weeks and expected daily package hauling the entire time...thanks to an out-of-control Amazon Vine habit.

How long is too long to house-sit for a neighbor, and where's the line between being helpful and getting used?

Plus: Amber's Ring camera catches something that looks suspiciously like a UFO at 3am, a debate over why a Friday off beats a Monday off every time, and dental appointments gone wrong.

Oh, and don't miss this genius trick for turning a chip bag into a bowl. It's your new party trick.
