Speaker 1 (00:00):
Today, we call a babysitter who's been nannying one family's
kids for the last two years. Oh, it's a long time,
and she finally had a chance to go on a vacation,
and wouldn't you know it, the family wanted to prank her.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
That's true family right there.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
I thought, oh, like, this is way too cruel, but
everybody else in here was like.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
No, let's get it.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
She deserves to have her peaceful getaway ruin that will
teach her to take a day off of work.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
End quote, let's go.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
And you know me, I'm a sheep, so I just
went along with it and we pretended Alexis was the
fill in nanny. Now, me just saying those words should
give you absolute nightmares. But this is it. It's your
phone tap right now?

Speaker 4 (00:52):
Hello?

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Hi? Is this Beth.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
Yeah, it's Heather from Delta Zeta you know easy diasis.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
I don't know what that is. I'm sorry, the.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Nanny service contacted me. I'm filling in for you.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
Oh okay, I'm sorry. I didn't know what that was.
All right, Hi, how are you everything? Okay, I'm good.

Speaker 4 (01:15):
I'm watching the Anderson kids and they said I should
call you if I had any questions because you've been
with the family for a few years.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
Now, right, Yeah, thanks for covering for me. I mean,
this is the first occasion I've had in a while,
so oh it's going on.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Sorry, I don't want to bug you. But do you
know where they keep the liquor?

Speaker 3 (01:37):
Why would you need to know that?

Speaker 4 (01:40):
I mean, it doesn't matter what kind it is, I
mean preferably peach shops.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
But I just need to get right, I feel me.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
Yeah, that's really not a cool thing to do while
you're working.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah, but it's my first week here. Come on, I'm
just getting out the nerves.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
I'm sure you have a day off you can get
out the nerves. Then that's not professional, not when you're
working with kids, all right, mom?

Speaker 2 (02:04):
I mean it takes at least three shots for me
to even get buzzed.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
But okay, did you seriously just call me? Mom? I mean,
this is like my vacation and you're calling about liquor
like not a good idea?

Speaker 4 (02:14):
No, you know what, I'm sure I can just find
it on my own. But anyway, do you know where
they keep the money?

Speaker 3 (02:19):
Then? Uh? In their wallet? This is not cool. I
don't understand why you're even asking No.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
Not that money, but you know, if I want to
buy a pizza for the kids, or like for makeup.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
I looked at all the rods and I.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Can't find any You're not using their money to buy
your personal things. Okay, they will give you money if
they want you to buy a pizza or something. Oha.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Wait, like, is this like a poor family? They don't
see poor.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
No, they're not poor at all. It's just your job
is to take care of the kids, not yourself. Oh yeah,
do that on your off time.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Wait where are they anyways?

Speaker 1 (02:55):

Speaker 3 (02:57):
Where?

Speaker 1 (02:57):

Uh? The kids? Duh?

Speaker 3 (03:01):
I'm like, God, are you serious?

Speaker 2 (03:02):
Where do they keep them?

Speaker 3 (03:04):
You know? Way the kids are? Well, I've been wondering,
going on, who are you well?

Speaker 4 (03:08):
I've been wandering around the house for like two hours
and I can't find them anywhere.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Hold on, you lost the kids?

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Uh? Rude? No, what do you think I am stupid?

Speaker 3 (03:17):
Yeah, of course you're stupid. I mean, have you not
met the family?

Speaker 4 (03:21):
The kids? Calm down, mom, I just parked up front.
I went up the brick staircase and the door was unlocked,
so I just went inside.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
They don't have a brick staircase.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
It's a brick staircase with a big black door.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
No, girl, that's not the right house. No, you're not
in the right house.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
Yeah, it says on their mailbox. I'm looking at it
right now. Seventeen thirty way.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
Thirteen seventy way.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Oh fudge numbers, seriously always confuse me.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
There is no way that the babysitting service would hire
someone like you. Just get out of the house and
I'll call the Andersons.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Oh no, no, no, it's okay.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
I've already called them, and they're the ones who actually
wanted me to set you up for this prank phone call,
