I forgot to put a question in the title, sorry. What kind of spiders are these? I assume it's a male and female, but also curious about that.

The one on the bottom is one of the Eratigena, Giant House Spiders. Top one is harder to see, but I'd say it's the same.
e.g. https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/750907-Eratigena-duellica
E. duellica, E. saeva and e. atrica are impossible to distinguish without examination of the genitalia under a microscope, and all 3 are apparently introduced to North America, so potentially any of those.
