1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,159
Speaker 1: Today we call a woman who's a rare type. Okay.

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: She doesn't like going out to restaurants or to big

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: sporting events or concerts. No, she prefers spending her time

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: at the library. Oh okay. According to her partner Steve,

5
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: she checks out books all the time and really loves it.

6
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 1: The only thing she doesn't like is the city recently

7
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 1: reduced the hours that they're open.

8
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 2: I mean it is not easy to get to the

9
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 2: library these days.

10
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: It's made her very upset. Now the city's about to

11
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: make another major change that she's probably not gonna love.

12
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 1: You're gonna hear it in your phone. Tap right now.

13
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: It's another on the twenties.

14
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 2: Hello.

15
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: Hi is this Abigail? Yeah speaking hi Abigail. This is

16
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: Dave from the public Library. I hope it's okay that

17
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: I give you a call. Has found your number in

18
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: our system?

19
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,639
Speaker 2: Uh sure, what is this about? Well?

20
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: I know that you're always one of our best, most

21
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: loyal patrons, and we're really appreciative you always return books

22
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: on time every week. We want to thank you for that.

23
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 2: Oh of course, now.

24
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: We do need to speak with you about some changes

25
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: that are going to be coming down the pike. Over here.

26
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 2: What kind of changes.

27
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,199
Speaker 1: Well, as you're aware, the city is in a little

28
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: bit of a budget deficit again, Yeah, probably.

29
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 2: For the twenty eighth year in a row. They can't

30
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 2: seem to get anything right.

31
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know that is fair. They don't manage their

32
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: money very well. But as you know, the library does

33
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: fall under the city umbrella. And so while we will

34
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: not be upping the late fees like some people.

35
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 2: Have books on time anyway, right.

36
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 1: Now, I understand that I'm just saying, starting next month,

37
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: we're going to be instituting a cover charge similar to

38
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: a bar or a club. Give me a what a

39
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: cover charge?

40
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 2: What does that mean?

41
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: Have you not been to a bar or a club?

42
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: I guess needed to go to the library. So probably

43
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: not none of your.

44
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 2: Business, Frankly, can you.

45
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: Just elaborate, Well, so if you have a book that

46
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: you reserve, let's say, and you just want to walk inside,

47
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: that'll be seven dollars.

48
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 2: At the door, seven dollars, well.

49
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: Ten dollars on the weekends, because you know, Saturdays and

50
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: Sundays are our most popular days. What kind of half

51
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: of that idea is that we just we need to

52
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: find a way to supplement the deficit because we don't

53
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: have enough money to stay open.

54
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 2: So you're going to punish people for going to the library.

55
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: U No, not punish. We're going to charge people, not

56
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: hit them.

57
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: This is not okay. You cannot charge people to go

58
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 2: into the library. I'm there every week, and I wouldn't

59
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 2: pay a quarter to get in.

60
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: You're right, you wouldn't. You'd have to pay seven dollars

61
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: or ten dollars on the weekends.

62
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: Hey, smart, it was just an example. I wouldn't pay

63
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 2: a cent.

64
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: Well, good, because we wouldn't accept cents. We would only

65
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: do I got it only to accept credit cards. Okay,

66
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you just you seem a little bit upset.

67
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 2: Yes, of course I'm upset. I go to the library

68
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 2: every week. I take books out every week, I return

69
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 2: them every week.

70
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: Okay, now you're telling me I need to pay.

71
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 2: You to come into the library.

72
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, I've heard all that already. I'm just try

73
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: trying to relay this information to you.

74
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 2: Well it's unacceptable.

75
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: Well you need to accept it, because it's happening.

76
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 2: I will not accept it.

77
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: You know what. I'm gonna let you think about it

78
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 1: for five seconds and then check back in with you.

79
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 2: It does not matter how long I think about this.

80
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 2: It is unacceptable.

81
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: Two one have you accepted it now?

82
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 2: No? I have not accepted it. Because is there a

83
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: manager I can talk to.

84
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 1: I'm the last employee who works here. So what you

85
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: know what I'm gonna do for you? If you come

86
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: in today, I'll knock a dollar off of your cover charge.

87
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 2: I already told you I will not be paid to

88
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: come into the library.

89
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: It's only going to be six dollars. Do you accept it? Maybe?

90
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: Five seconds? Five?

91
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 2: I do not accept it.

92
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: Three? Two?

93
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 2: Oh my god, what is wrong with you?

94
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: All Right? I'm not going to back up to seven dollars.

95
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: I'm sorry the deal has gone away.

96
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 2: I don't even know what to say.

97
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: Also, I don't really know if this matters at this point.

98
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: But in an effort to connect with the younger generations here,

99
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: we're going to be rebranding and no longer call this

100
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: the library.

101
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 2: That's the dumbest idea I ever heard in my life.

102
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna be calling it D's Books.

103
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 2: This has to be a joke.

104
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: That's books with a Z.

105
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 2: There is no way that you, or the city, or

106
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 2: anyone in this world could come up with an idea

107
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: of this as nine.

108
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: Well, you're right, it wasn't me or the city, but

109
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: your partner Steve might be asinine to come up with it.

110
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:19,799
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

111
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, your partner Steve emailed our show Brooke and Jeffrey

112
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: in the morning and he said he want us to

113
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: do a prank phone call on you.

114
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 2: Oh okay, get it.

115
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: Steve said that you love the library so much and

116
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: you really hate change, so he wanted us to mess

117
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: with you, and we thought, okay, well maybe we can

118
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 1: combine both.

119
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you had me going. I'd had to be

120
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 2: the dumbest idea I ever heard, triking people to cover with.

121
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: A library these books.

122
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 2: I don't even know what's happening right now.

123
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: You know me either. Honestly, I'll see it at the library,

124
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: all right, I hope. So probably in the self help section.

125
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 2: Okay, wake up every morning with phone taps weekday mornings

126
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 2: on the twenties, Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning,
