happy hour with the home collective : The archives

Bill Ball and co-host Mackenzie Blue sit down with Kristin McFeely to chat about the current real estate market amid the Pandemic. They also give an update on what they’ve been doing since the Stay at Home orders have been enacted and learn about what movies Mackenzie has not seen (Spoiler Alert: It’s a lot).

Bill and Mackenzie are back with Dina Cirignano to chat about what types of deals are doable right now and what it’s like living in Fishtown. Mackenzie gives her take on the 1975 classic, Jaws - free on cable channels everywhere, but streamed online for $4.

Featured Drinks: Crystal Head Vodka with Blood Orange twist; Kona Brewing Co.’s Big Wave Golden Ale; Four Grain Bourbon

Bill and Mackenzie take an in-depth look at the content the team has been producing while in Quarantine. They also discover Bill’s perfect version of a romantic comedy lacks all the romance, but cannot be defined as a comedy.

Featured Drinks: Four Grain Bourbon ; Schofferhofer Hefeweizen Grapefruit Beir

Who doesn’t want to know more about Deirdre? - Is she growing corn stalks in her Glenside back yard? Was she on HGTV’s House Hunters? How many trips does she take to the local drive-through beer distributor? All these questions asked and answered with even more we don’t want to put in writing! Plus, Bill and Mackenzie are there.

Featured Drinks: An Unknown Spanish Rosé; Absolut Pears Vodka; Shock Top’s Belgian White beer

For the first time in 5 weeks, Bill and Mackenzie (who work in real estate) talk about real estate. Bill chats with Dan Giannetto, one half of the team lead duo, about buying and selling in New Jersey during this period and how Philadelphia may mimic the demand they are seeing. Mackenzie gives an update on our newest listings and doesn’t know anything about beer.

Featured Drinks: Johnnie Walker Black Label; Victory’s Summer Love

Mackenzie and Bill chat about the team’s new listing inventory and Mackenzie struggles to come up with excuses as to why she’s not watching Bill’s movie recommendations. Zoe Fox joins the ranks of highly anticipated guests to chat about Passyunk, her home state of New Mexico and why it’s never okay to put rice in a burrito.

Featured Drinks: Wild Basin’s Boozy Sparkling Water (flavor: Melon Basil); Sam Adam’s Summer Ale; Graft’s Farm Flor Cider

We’re back! Real Estate is once again considered an essential activity! Is that what this whole podcast is about? Absolutely not. That takes up maybe 20 seconds. Dina Cirignano just became our first repeat offender and we really start to pull back the layers of that onion leaving Mackenzie with one question - “Why are Dina and Bill so similar and why did I agree to this?”

Featured Drinks: Amstel Light; Golden Road Brewing’s Mango Cart; South Philly’s Underground Homemade Wine (there’s no link for that, obviously)

We know, we know… it’s been 2 months. It got pretty hectic there for a minute. We wanted to give you a quick overview of what we’ve been seeing with the greater Philadelphia area market over our time away. We also discover Bill finally listened to Mackenzie on one of her recommendations and his life has changed forever. Also, Mackenzie still hasn’t watched that one movie so don’t get your hopes up.

Featured Drinks: Poland Springs Lemon Lime Seltzer (non-alcoholic); Cold Brew

It seems that Philly regulations for dining are ever-changing to ensure safety. And while we may not be on the pulse of new info, we’re like one beat behind. We take a look at how Philly neighborhoods are determining sales and give you an update on our latest listings. Tom Cruise plays a major role in The Firm, this episode of the podcast and our hearts.

Featured Drinks: Twisted Tea (The Original Flavor); Tito’s + Cranberry Lime Seltzer
