family stories

In this episode we are taking a step back from the normal real estate talk to share childhood stories and a few laughs about growing up and what ultimately lead to becoming real estate investors. This episode is a great mix of humor, interesting stories, and a peek into the lives of Mike, Ryan, and their siblings!

Brace yourself - our song has been complete. You've heard us come up with lyrics for our song 'Sassy Boy' ft. Zoe Badwi, but is it the "hit" we keep saying it's going to be?

Our dad had a midlife crisis when we were a bit younger and it wasn't getting a sports car, it wasn't banging some younger chick, it wasn't getting botox... it was actually something very sweet.

Today's Sibling Squabble comes in from Terri-Anne, which sparks a story from our childhood to do with knives underneath a door (do not try it at home).

Head to our Instagram page @lukeandsassyscottpodcast, click the survey link in the bio and fill it out to either win a guaranteed FaceTime call with us*, or the chance at $100. You can also find the survey here - https://form.typeform.com/to/s9phoqld

* We will do our best to call everyone but depending on how many people select that option, there's only so much time in a day.

We have a backing track for our hit song 'Sassy Boy'! Now we just have to write some lyrics to it... and look it wasn't easy. Luke has to rap a verse, which brings down our chances of it becoming a 'hit'.

Our mum ruined Christmas when we were younger - she was just trying to be nice, but there are certain times where being nice is not allowed, and this was one of them.

We somehow got the opportunity to interview some of the biggest RnB artists in the world recently, but in classic Luke & Sassy Scott fashion, we were wildly unprofessional and think we may have screwed up our chances of being asked back. Whoops.

This week's Sibling Squabble comes in from Amy, and she has set the bar of what type of Sibling Squabbles we want you to send in. If your story is just as good, send it to the @lukeandsassyscottpodcast instagram page.

We are serving up a film fan's dream discussion, as we plunge deep into the techniques, processes, challenges and craft of documentary filmmaking with two talented creators, Brandon Ogborn and Reed Harkness. Both are captivating storytellers whose productions are based on personal experiences and relationships, exploring the themes of family, community, ethics and society’s expectations.

Brandon's film, 'Damn, Dana' is a character study as well as a snapshot of an unprecedented time in our recent past, focusing on restaurateur Dana Tanner, whose refusal to close the doors of her Long Beach eatery during COVID-19 lockdowns sparked national interest and turned her into the poster child for one the pandemic's most controversial issues, the effect of government mandates on the service industry. 

Reed's feature 'Sam Now' is an examination of how individual family members processed the disappearance of his step-mother. Reed facilitated and filmed his brother Sam’s journey to find his mom which led to Sam ultimately finding himself. 25 years in the making, Reed’s brother bonding project inspired his entire family to better understand their own emotions and unique connections.

Brandon and Reed discuss the catalysts for each of their documentaries, the roles played by  family and friends, their storytelling approaches and directing styles, their subjects’ receptions of their films and what they learned from their respective themes… boys and men grappling with difficult emotions and how we all responded to the frightening early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Plus, Fritz and Weezy are recommending Waco: The Aftermath on Showtime, the podcast series, Long Shadow and American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bombing on Netflix.

Once upon a time, there was a cute little puppy named Maxy. He had big brown eyes and a fluffy tail. Maxy loved to read and he enjoyed going to the library to find new books. He was accompanied by his best friend Greg the Giraffe who also loved reading.

One day, Maxy and Greg decided to go to the library together. Maxy was so excited, he said "The library! I can't wait to find new books to read."

When they arrived at the library, Maxy and Greg were greeted by the tall shelves filled with books. Maxy said "Wow, this is so cool!" while Greg added " I love reading and I'm sure we'll find some great books here." They walked around the different sections, looking for new books to read. Maxy found a book about space and said "I want to read this one, it's my favorite topic." Greg also found a book about tall animals that he was excited to read.

Maxy and Greg found some great books and sat down together to read. Maxy was delighted and said "Thank you, this is so much fun!" Greg added " Reading with a friend is even more fun, let's make this a regular thing."

Maxy's adventure with Greg taught him that libraries are a wonderful place to find new books and learn about different topics. He also learned that reading is fun and it can be a great way to explore new worlds and ideas. From then on, Maxy always looked forward to going to the library with his best friend Greg and finding new books to read together.

Once upon a time, there was a super cute puppy named Maxy. He had big brown eyes and a fluffy tail. Maxy loved to go on adventures and explore new places. So, when his family told him they were going camping, he was beyond excited.

Maxy packed his bag with his favorite toys and set off with his family. He brought his best friends Rocky the Rottweiler and Sarah the cat along with him. They set up camp and spent the day exploring the woods and roasting marshmallows over the campfire.

But as night fell, Maxy realized he had forgotten his blanket. He was feeling a little cold and didn't know what to do. He asked his Daddy Dog for help, but he was too tired to go back to the car for it.

That's when Maxy's Grandfather Dog came up with an idea. "Maxy, why don't you use my old blanket? It may be a bit scratchy, but it will keep you warm," he said with a smile.

Maxy was grateful for his Grandfather Dog's suggestion and snuggled up in the old blanket. As he lay there listening to the sound of the crickets and the rustling of the leaves, he realized that sometimes the things we think we need, aren't as important as the people who care for us.

Maxy fell asleep feeling warm and content, with his family and friends by his side. He learned that it's not always about having the best things, but about being surrounded by the people who love and care for us. And so, Maxy had a wonderful camping trip with a great lesson learnt.

Once upon a time, there was a cute little puppy named Maxy. He had big brown eyes and a fluffy tail. Maxy loved going to school and learning new things, but his favorite teacher was Miss Daisy, the horse.

One day, Maxy woke up extra early, and couldn't wait to go to school and see Miss Daisy. He had a special surprise for her, a drawing he had made of her.

When Maxy got to school, he ran straight to Miss Daisy's classroom. But when he got there, she wasn't there. Maxy was confused and asked his friends, Rocky the Rottweiler and Sarah the cat, where Miss Daisy was.

"I heard she's sick," said Rocky. "Oh no," said Maxy. "I wanted to give her my drawing and tell her how much I love her class."

Feeling sad, Maxy went to his own class, but he couldn't focus on the lessons. He missed Miss Daisy's smile and her kind words.

But then, Maxy had an idea. He asked his teacher if he could call Miss Daisy on the phone and tell her how much he missed her.

"Of course," said his teacher, and she dialed Miss Daisy's number. Maxy heard the phone ring and then a voice on the other end.

"Hello?" said Miss Daisy. "Maxy, is that you? I'm so happy to hear from you!"

"Miss Daisy, I miss you," said Maxy. "I made you a drawing and I wanted to give it to you today."

"Oh, Maxy, that's so sweet of you," said Miss Daisy. "I miss you too, and I'm looking forward to seeing your drawing when I come back to school."

Maxy felt happy and relieved. He learned that just because someone is not physically present, doesn't mean you can't still show them that you care and miss them. From then on, Maxy made sure to always keep in touch with his loved ones, even if they're not around.
