I love how you kept cool and calm in a very awkward possibly dangerous situation! Thank God for the neighbor that knew who you were and tried to intervene! I pray God's blessings and protection over you!
Imagine looking out of your window and seeing a TH-camr you know out front. Then you realize said TH-camr is talking to "That Guy" from across the street.
@@FISHITALL1369 Is your son trying to get out of that neighborhood? That old guy is bad news and the other guy sitting in front of the house didn't look much better. That does not look like a good neighborhood for your grandkids to grow up in.
@@XavierShade Yeah, when you've lived around people like that you wise up to what's going on. Poor Spencer had no idea what he was walking up to with that guy.
hes not helping his neighbors. Hes using them to get views. Hes well paid by the youtube channel. LOL these people are so funny. You think hes doing it for free. He makes his money from the videos he makes. Its not charity.
@@ScreamingEagleFTW I'm sure the city is paying him for his work on these abandoned house projects. That altruistic attitude disappears where there is no homeowner.

That neighbor who helped you out is a neighbor I’d love to have living next door. He deserves some thanks so “Thank You Sir for looking out for Mr. & Mrs. SB!”
People saying he’s drunk or has dementia in these comments have never been around pill heads. This man is strung out and has been for so much of his life that he’s able to still half way function while being strung out.
Whether or not the threat was credible, it was still a threat. I'd call the local PD on a non-emergency line, have a chat with them about the incident, and ask if I could send them the video. Maybe (probably) there's some history on him, maybe they want to have a chat with him, maybe not. But nobody has to put up with that.
@@ArKritz84 He has had a couple of videos where the police had stopped talked to him and thanked for what he does. they commented about they were fans and watched his videos. good chance they already seen it
That drunk didn’t want to go to Walmart. He wanted to go to the liquor store. Glad you & Mrs. SB left there and are safe. But you went back. The property looks amazing now. 😊
Thank you neighbor for helping diffuse the situation. From now on, any time your wife is with you make sure she has her door locked just in case there are people like this guy who believe they can just push their way into your truck and make you drive them wherever. Nuts! I hope she had her phone ready to press emergency. 😢 You’re a great guy for everything you do but you still have limits and let him know it. As usual you did a wonderful job!
The neighbor said he's known for asking people for a ride, probably to get another drink that he didn't need. But for him to threaten to have a gun to get that ride, is disturbing. Great job as usual!
It took me a few days to watch this video. The title that included threats with a gun brought a lot of anxiety. As a 30 yr veteran ER Trauma nurse….this sort of anxiety is not unusual. You did and awesome job as usual. Glad you listened to your gut….and so very glad you are safe.
Imagine a dude literally comes in to clean your neighborhood up for free and you decide to try to grift and threaten him. So glad someone else recognized you and helped.
Always listen to your inner voice. It will keep you safe. If the neighbors are as these are. Don’t stop. Just keep moving. You’re more important than an over grown yard. We want you and Mrs SB mowing safe always.
That looks like it would’ve taken a team days to finish!! You’re able to do so much for so many people is amazing!! Thank you for being one of the bright spots on this app!!!
I'm so glad you were able to help the neighborhood without getting hurt. I glad the wonderful neighbor was so kind. Everyone needs people like him living around them. Beautiful job as always.
Spencer's morning checklist: Camera = Check Mower = Check Bullet-proof vest = er, what? oh right = from now on, Check Stay safe out there man, you are too nice a guy to lose....
I think he has enough tools to protect him! 😂 Never mess with tradesmen or catering staff - they always have their sharp weapons at hand! Speaking from experience by my dad , he was a chef and a diy -er his nickname was the ‘butcher of Baghdad’ cos he had a wonderful meaty mustache! Bless his soul! ❤
Spencer, your safety is key. Please don’t go back to places like that when your safety is at risk. Does look much better, maybe doing the occupied house next door would have been safer, I’d bet they’d have watched out for you.
May I say, you handled that situation beautifully. Not being confrontational and staying, at least outwardly, calm. And of course, once again, a great video.
It seems sketchy with all the cars stopping by next door. If you feel uncomfortable, leave, don't stick around your life is more important than making a video.
Ditto!I live in a good area and one house down the street was a rental. It was rented out for a few months and the cars were there most afternoons and nights.I guess the owners of the houses around it got on the owners.The family moved out and it's normal again.
Agree, very sketchy and with asking so many questions. What are they trying to hide? You would think they would be happy to see it cleaned up for the neighborhood..great job Spencer❤
I’ve read over half of the comments so far. Yes, it was sketchy as heck, especially with a guy stating he had a gun in his pocket. People & cars coming and going for hours, able-bodied men hanging around, asking how much longer he’ll be there, is extra help arriving, when he’ll be gone….C’mon, folks…..Spencer’s presence was cutting in on their ability to conduct ‘business’ with their customers - especially with a camera recording everything. This is a very dangerous neighborhood to live in.
I was nervous for you the entire time, those neighbors were threating, posturing, pacing around. I have seen that behavior before! Very Dangerous, can snap at any second. God bless the young man who stepped in in the beginning. And God Bless You, Spencer, What a brave and determine man you are, doing such good! The job turned out amazing! You always do such great work.
SBMowing love and appreciate your kindness but in this world unfortunately you will meet people who will take advantage of your kindness. "Strength without compassion is brutality, compassion without strength is weakness." Please stay safe my man and keep doing what you do, but please stay aware.
I would not have gone back, bet that was the quickest yard you've ever done. I was worried for you when you were in Corpus and knock on that gentleman's car window. You got be careful, not everyone is a nice person now-a-days. Some landscapes are packing for their protection. I've seen on the news where they get jumped robbed for money and equipment, especially if they know you are distracted. Stay safe.🙏🦋
@@LyleFrancisDelp Imagine if someone try saying something like that at an airport or at a bus stop. At an airport it would mean immediate detainment and not being allowed to board your plane and a permanent spot on the no fly list and for a bus stop it would mean I would imagine being denied boarding any form of public transportation
As someone from Los Angeles, where even the tiniest house is super expensive, I'm always amazed that there can be abandoned houses. This house would be such a great space if it were taken care of.
It just goes to show how much things vary from place to place. That said, just because it's vacant doesn't mean it isn't owned. A lot of these vacant properties are owned by someone who's had to move into a nursing home on Medicaid. They keep the property because although they *could* sell it, that would convert it into a countable asset, which counts against them when calculating their eligibility for Medicaid. They can't rent it out either, since the rental income would count against them. The best thing for them would probably be to sell the house and move into a retirement community, but that's excruciatingly expensive; for a lot of seniors, it's far more affordable to instead go on Medicaid and go into a nursing home -- which costs a hell of a lot more in reality, but Medicaid will pay for nursing home care once you're indigent. It's not a good system, but it ends up being what a lot of people resort to once they're no longer physically able to manage their own care in their homes.
Hey thanks Spencer! Great job as usual... I'm glad you got the heck out of there. What a difference between those two different neighbors. Stay safe ❤🏠
My goodness where are these homes located they have so much property and such a small house I mean don't buy home like this if you can't keep up the property somebody owns the home even if no one lives there why just let it get that bad thank God for your generosity and hard free mowing you are do a great service helping the community and neighborhood 🥰❤❤
Ha! Did you even have to speed up this video?! I figured this time that may have been your actual speed in getting the job done. Lol! Tough stuff. Of course, the old fella was pitiful, but pitiful certainly doesn't equate with safe! Good on you for how you handled the situation, & I'm grateful that your online presence is so great that the neighbor came out to assist.
you're a good husband you don't realize it, but you just made your wife feel very safe and know that she is protected by you, that alone will make your relationship more solid... good job SB. I'm very very proud of you. Can't let people push you around. And you did a very good job on the yard.
Oh, this brought back some memories. I lived for a while in a neighborhood where there a lot of people who were down on their luck. Getting weird, dumb requests from people I didn't know got old. The worst were the ones who acted like I owed them a favor right from the start. But then there were a lot of refreshing and uplifting neighbors like the young guy across the street. Friendly, with a handshake and a smile. Those were folks that made living there worthwhile.
I had the same experience in my old neighborhood. Stayed 5 years and moved. Toddlers climbing over my fence and getting stuck and I had no idea where they lived to return them to their careless "parents". Kids crying on the corner because they missed the school bus. Rides to the store, borrowing money. It was just too much drama for me.
Spencer! You are one COOL CAT!! I would have been scared to bits. Good for you that you protected your family and still saw this through. Your grace under pressure was awe inspiring!!! Blessings!!!!!!!!
I'm wondering if there was some kind of dementia going on. You were brave to go back and work on the house! And i love seeing how protective you were of your wife. Good job!
keep up the great work...best quote of the day "he's the mowing guy leave him alone!" blessed be overgrow overshare overcare overseed everywhere worldwide...cheers all stay hydated and safe
Despite the drunken retch next door your equipment is top notch and takes care of that unbelievably high and thick vegetation. Most people would have given up taking on such a project. Your perseverance is remarkable.
You are amazing for still mowing the lawn despite the previous encounter with the neighbor! Thank you for all you do, Spencer!! Praying for blessings and continued safety as you work 🙏❤️
That guy is probably a lot of the reason the city doesn't come around, he is scary. Thank God for the neighbor helping you get out of there. I'm surprised you came back. Lot of people coming and going from that house.
You're a better man that me, Mr. SB...I would have just left and not come back...Of course, I don't like people too much to begin with...Oh, the idea of people is fine, but actually interacting with them has always freaked me out just a bit...Ironic, as my job is basically a teaching job...
Excellent job on both transforming that property AND trusting your gut. I will admit, I’ve seen you do your magic in some really rundown areas, but this was the first time I watched you really handle a very risky encounter. Excellent work Spencer! The community really owes you a lot of respect and gratitude!
I get the feeling the neighbour accross the road has to come out to help strangers from the threatening man often. Expecting free rides from people, then threatening with a gun if they dont agree, is predatory, not to mention just plain rude. I'm glad you put your foot down for yours and Mrs B's safety
My guess is that it was hurting their "business" with him there recording the episode. I've lived in the ghetto. I've seen it many times. They like to put the bass on their cars so you know they're coming for your product. I have so many stories.
You are so professional and efficient which was so useful to get that property cleaned up quickly and get out of there! Glad nothing bad happened and you were safe!!
Oh my goodness! I'm surprised you went back there! I'm glad you and Mrs. SB are ok. And as others have said, a huge thanks to the neighbor for stepping in! 🙌

Thumbs up to the neighbor guy across the street, helping to diffuse the situation. 👍

I was thinking the same.
@@SajarErbraTerof Yeah, you can..
Absolutely I'm about to escape out of Memphis.
The guy was drunk! You handled that respectfully, Spencer.
I don’t think so. He acted like he has dementia. Gentle but firm is the way to handle that. Just like SB and the neighbor did.
Yeah, seemed like genuine mental issues. (Probably combined with substances)

That drunk didn’t want to go to Walmart. He wanted to go to the liquor store. Glad you & Mrs. SB left there and are safe. But you went back. The property looks amazing now. 😊
That was my first thought - must be a liquor store beside Walmart.
Kinda looks like he was on drugs too
Yeah he went back...I thought the same, there must be more people in need of there yards getting done. Than risking your life for a you tube video.
Yep, been there in my younger days. When you get to the liquor store he'll demand money or try to make you go in and buy the booze.
The fact that he mentioned he had a gun in his pocket was enough of a threat to me to have someone else there for your protection.
Oh brother.
yes Mr Shotgun and Madam Tazer
Be your own protection. Also make sure Mrs. SB can protect you, and herself, as well. Love your content.👍
Should Spencer have called the cops?
@@thomasluby1754 Yes, the police need to know what is going on with those neighbors. A gun threat should always be taken seriously!

Nuts! I hope she had her phone ready to press emergency. 😢 You’re a great guy for everything you do but you still have limits and let him know it.
As usual you did a wonderful job!
It is bad when the vacant house is in better condition than the occupied one next door.
That start was a harrowing experience. You handled that well. Keep safe bro.
That interaction legit gave me anxiety. 😮 Thank goodness for the "he's your guy for yards" neighbor. 😄
The neighbor said he's known for asking people for a ride, probably to get another drink that he didn't need. But for him to threaten to have a gun to get that ride, is disturbing.
Great job as usual!
He probably about to go ask for gas money too 😂
There’s also a lot of mention that the guy probably had dementia or alzheimer’s disease
That happened to me when twice I lived in New Orleans - it must be a thing?
It's so he can get in your car, then rob you. Commonly used tactic
It took me a few days to watch this video. The title that included threats with a gun brought a lot of anxiety. As a 30 yr veteran ER Trauma nurse….this sort of anxiety is not unusual. You did and awesome job as usual. Glad you listened to your gut….and so very glad you are safe.

Toddlers climbing over my fence and getting stuck and I had no idea where they lived to return them to their careless "parents". Kids crying on the corner because they missed the school bus. Rides to the store, borrowing money. It was just too much drama for me.
Great job as usual. Thank God He was protecting you.
Wow! That beginning was scary! Another great job, Spencer!!
Proud of you for standing up to that guy and saying no. Love your videos. You are one of the best!
Of all the mowing shows, I like yours the most. You do such a thorough job. I've learned a lot about yardwork watching your videos.
Spencer! You are one COOL CAT!! I would have been scared to bits. Good for you that you protected your family and still saw this through. Your grace under pressure was awe inspiring!!! Blessings!!!!!!!!
I’m glad the young man came out to help you. Please be careful out there. I’m so glad you’re ok.
God bless your back. May it always be strong and pain free. The Lord keep you safe. Kudos to the neighbor for helping out with the confrontation.
Be vigilant when you are in new areas. Mental health is such a thief to our society, but you handled it so well.
The city should pay you for your services!
I'm wondering if there was some kind of dementia going on. You were brave to go back and work on the house! And i love seeing how protective you were of your wife. Good job!
keep up the great work...best quote of the day "he's the mowing guy leave him alone!" blessed be overgrow overshare overcare overseed everywhere worldwide...cheers all stay hydated and safe
I knew one day you would be confronted like you were...be careful out there, Spencer.
Despite the drunken retch next door your equipment is top notch and takes care of that unbelievably high and thick vegetation. Most people would have given up taking on such a project. Your perseverance is remarkable.
Sketchy neighbors. I’m so glad you are safe. Thank you for all you do!
Awesome video as always Spencer. Keep up the great work.
Young man across the street is real. We love you man.
Insane situation firmly handled Spencer!!! Keep safe man and take care!!!
Thank goodness you didn’t fall for that nonsense.
You are amazing for still mowing the lawn despite the previous encounter with the neighbor! Thank you for all you do, Spencer!! Praying for blessings and continued safety as you work 🙏❤️
Please be safe. We only have 1 Spencer!!!!!!! God bless you for the work you do!
Always be careful my friend n protect yourself n your wife just like you did. This will end up being a blessing for the neighbors n the community. ✝️
Clearly not taking his medication
Self-medicating a bit too much, I'd say.
Acredito que está tomando a medicação "errada".
What? crack???
I'll guess his name was Methew
Viram a "estufa" do vizinho????
That guy is probably a lot of the reason the city doesn't come around, he is scary. Thank God for the neighbor helping you get out of there. I'm surprised you came back. Lot of people coming and going from that house.
I was thinking the same. City workers don't get paid enough to deal with people like that
Clearly the man has bad mental health
You're a better man that me, Mr. SB...I would have just left and not come back...Of course, I don't like people too much to begin with...Oh, the idea of people is fine, but actually interacting with them has always freaked me out just a bit...Ironic, as my job is basically a teaching job...
I'm glad the neighbour came and intervened. You made the right call getting out of there once you were done. Great job.
Excellent job on both transforming that property AND trusting your gut. I will admit, I’ve seen you do your magic in some really rundown areas, but this was the first time I watched you really handle a very risky encounter. Excellent work Spencer! The community really owes you a lot of respect and gratitude!
I get the feeling the neighbour accross the road has to come out to help strangers from the threatening man often. Expecting free rides from people, then threatening with a gun if they dont agree, is predatory, not to mention just plain rude.
I'm glad you put your foot down for yours and Mrs B's safety
Not to mention illegal.... jailbait just waiting to happen
My guess is that it was hurting their "business" with him there recording the episode. I've lived in the ghetto. I've seen it many times. They like to put the bass on their cars so you know they're coming for your product. I have so many stories.
He didn't want a ride. He wanted to rob them.
Holy hell, that guy was insane. Incredible job though as always!
Hell Is Not Holy!!

Spencer, I sure appreciate you, especially going back out to help the neighborhood. ❤
You are so professional and efficient which was so useful to get that property cleaned up quickly and get out of there! Glad nothing bad happened and you were safe!!
Oh my goodness! I'm surprised you went back there! I'm glad you and Mrs. SB are ok. And as others have said, a huge thanks to the neighbor for stepping in! 🙌
