Morning 6-Pack - Things We Pray Our Home Cams Never Catch
65% of homeowners start freaking out about whether they locked the door or shut the garage within a half hour of leaving — and yeah, I’m guilty too. So we tore into the Morning 6-Pack and counted down the top six things you absolutely do not want to spot on your home security cam while you’re out. Expect stuff like an Amazon driver relieving himself in your shrubs and Nana making a pants-less cameo (family reunion vibes). We even riff on the horror show of federal agents showing up for your chronically-online teen — awkward doesn’t cut it. It’s fast, sarcastic, and kinda terrifying in a hilarious way; laugh now, panic later.
Takeaways:
- I joke that about 65% of homeowners start worrying they left the door unlocked within a half hour.
- Nearly 60% of people actually turn around and drive back home to check, and we laugh about it.
- We point out smart home alerts can get buried — 39% of security owners have legitimately missed important notifications.
- The Morning 6-Pack dishes out gross, wild stuff you never wanna see on your home security camera while away.
- We roast examples: Amazon drivers peeing in shrubs, Nana pantsless, perverts messing with Halloween skeletons, and federal officers serving a warrant.

It's haystack.
Speaker A:You ever get halfway to work and then suddenly wonder, did I lock the front door?
Speaker A:A new Survey says about 65% of homeowners start to worry about whether they locked the door or closed the garage within a half hour of leaving, and 39% worry before they've even gotten out of the driveway.
Speaker A:That's impressive.
Speaker A:You haven't even left your own property and you already don't trust the guy that lives there.
Speaker A:Nearly 60% of people who worry about leaving doors unlocked or appliances running have actually turned around and gone back to check.
Speaker A:Of course, you know what happens when you get there.
Speaker A:The door's locked, the garage is closed, the stove is off, so you get back in the car and spend the rest of the drive wondering if you left the refrigerator open.
Speaker A:Now we've got smart homes that supposedly eliminate all this worry.
Speaker A:Except for 39% of people who own a security system say they have missed an alert because it got buried under all their other phone notifications.
Speaker A:Somebody could be carrying your TV out the front door and your phone's like good news, you earned bonus points at Taco Bell.
Speaker A:Got what?
Speaker A:We've got cameras, alarms, automatic locks, appliances we control from the other side of the planet.
Speaker A:And somehow we've turned leaving the house into a full blown psychological thriller.
Speaker A:The only thing that can give us peace of mind anymore is turning around, driving home, finding out we were right the first time.
Speaker A:So yeah, even worried.
Speaker A:With a camera monitoring everything, many people are.
Speaker A:And speaking of home security cameras, there are definitely some things that you do not want to see on your home security camera while you're away from home.
Speaker B:Well, gather round folks.
Speaker B:It's the time of day when we laugh and smile in a light hearted way.
Speaker B:Tune in for the giggles and let's kick back here.
Speaker B:Here comes the fun.
Speaker B:It's the morning six pack.
Speaker A:The top six things you never want to see on your home security camera while you're away from home.
Speaker A:Number six, the Amazon driver peeing in your shrubs.
Speaker A:Number five, Nana wandering off pants less.
Speaker A:Number four, a homeless guy going through your garbage bin.
Speaker A:I mean, you always wanted to meet Randy Quaid in person.
Speaker A:Number three, the neighborhood pervert doing something disturbing to your Halloween skeleton.
Speaker A:Number two, federal officers in tactical gear holding a warrant for your chronically online teenagers arrest.
Speaker A:And the number one thing you never want to see on your home security camera while you are away from home, smoke.
