1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Most problems can be solved with a simple phone call.

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's probably true.

3
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: If you have a leaky sink, you call a plumber. Okay,

Speaker 3: Arrest somebody falling tree.

6
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: But sometimes you gotta get creative with it. And that's

7
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: exactly what happens today when Brooke reaches out to a

8
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,200

Speaker 2: By the pudding.

48
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 4: Did you tell the residents that you were doing this?

49
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 3: You know, I wish I would have talked to you before,

50
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 3: because that is one thing we forgot.

51
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 2: What kind of slipped my mind.

52
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 4: Is my grandma Okay, Oh, your grandma's fine.

53
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just that some.

54
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 3: Of the other residents that didn't have their readers with

55
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 3: them didn't realize that they weren't.

56
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 4: Real Are you serious?

57
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: There was a little commotion.

58
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 3: I did hear a couple of I'm gonna die screams.

59
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 4: But I don't know. I don't understand how you're so

60
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 4: cavalier about this. This is not funny, you know, Tim, I.

61
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 3: Work in a job where you just have to s

62
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 3: a positive a lot of people at the end.

63
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 2: You know, you don't only get pulled down with.

64
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 4: Them, but somebody over there has to. You have to

65
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 4: appreciate that this is an objectively bad idea. I mean,

66
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 4: these people, some of them have, you know, dementia, and

67
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 4: if they encounter something like that.

68
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 3: But do you know what, Tim, I'm going to interrupt you,

69
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 3: because you know what they don't have.

70
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 2: They don't have a rat problem anymore. And you have

71
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 2: me to thank for that.

72
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 4: Okay, I appreciate that there's no more rodents.

73
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 3: But I get that you may be bothered by the

74
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 3: whole black mamba rat thing. But really that was very

75
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 3: minor compared to what was going on at the gazebo.

76
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 4: There was another incident, well, the outside.

77
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: One where they like to read. There's a lot of

78
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: birds that gather and.

79
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 3: It just costs money to clean and maintain all those

80
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 3: bird droppings. So we had that same expert look at

81
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 3: that problem.

82
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 4: Are you sure this was an expert? Where did you

83
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 4: hire this guy?

84
00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 2: I can't reveal all my sources, Griggs list. Yeah, but

85
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 2: you have another great recommendation.

86
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 3: We purchased seven lifelike Arabian killing wolves on Amazon.

87
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 4: Are you there are wolves that are called killing wolves?

88
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 2: Don't worry this time we learned our lesson. We actually

89
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 2: told the residents about.

90
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 4: This, and again, how did the residents react?

91
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 3: Well, we said you will see wolves out by the gazebo, and.

92
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 2: You know what, now they don't want to go out there.

93
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 4: Why did you tell them they were wolves? Why didn't

94
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 4: you say that they were fake wolves?

95
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 2: Why? Fake?

96
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 4: Why do you think this is funny?

97
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 2: You should work here?

98
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 4: It's okay, no about that? Who's your boss? Where do

99
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 4: I go and file a complaint?

100
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 3: This is I'm.

101
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 2: The owner and the director.

102
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 3: That's why I was able to spend the extra money

103
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 3: to get the wolves with the glowing eyeballs, so that

104
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 3: you can really see them in the bushes or was

105
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 3: this nepotism?

106
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 4: It sounds like you're horribly disqualified for this job.

107
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 2: Okay, well, I'm going to ignore that. Here's the thing.

108
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 3: We really wanted to get these residents on board with

109
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 3: the wolves, so we just a Haad and brought him

110
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 3: into their rooms.

111
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 4: What is wrong with you? That is horrible.

112
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 2: Your grandma's best friends with one name Charlie.

113
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 4: Okay, you should call her once.

114
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 2: In a while.

115
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 4: I did, well, I thought I did, but I never

116
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 4: heard anything about this. When was this?

117
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 3: I think it was about the same time when your

118
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 3: sister contacted us to do a break phone call on you.

119
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 2: Wait, Corey, right, your sister Corey.

120
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 4: Sorry, what happened?

121
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 2: She emailed the show. Because this is Brooke from Brook

122
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 2: and Jeffrey in the morning. We're doing a phone tap

123
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 2: on you.

124
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 4: Wait, wait, okay, is my grandma? Wait a minute?

125
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,239
Speaker 3: Oh my god, bread deep breath, Oh my, we're actually

126
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 3: scared by a couple of fake Arabian killing wolves.

127
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 4: I mean, the killing definitely got to me. I don't Senior.

128
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 2: Set her petting zoo to me.

129
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 4: Oh my god, broke in Jeffrey's phone taps on the

130
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 4: twenties
