Speaker 1 (00:00):
Normally, when someone visits their grandma their retirement home, that's
a good thing. Yeah, unless you have a sister who
likes playing pranks on you. That's what happened today. One
of our listeners told us her sister went to check
in on granny the other day. So we're gonna do
the natural thing and call from a made up security

(00:20):
firm and accuser of stealing from ninety year old man.
And if you think that's as far as we're gonna
take it, you'd be dead wrong. That's right. I'm gonna
bust out the lie detector too, just so we can
get to the bottom of this. In your phone tap
right now twenty Hello. Hi, is this Kristin Yanks Hi?

(00:45):
This is Kristin yank Hi. My name is Hank Redford.
I'm with the alis He Assisted Living Investigation Squad ALIS.
We received a call from your grandma recently, a miss Terry.
I'm sorry, is something wrong? Well, physically she's okay, but
she's a little bit distraught because we work in connection
with the facility that she's living in currently m HM.

(01:08):
And she claims that you visited her four days ago
and when you left, you stole a book from her.
I'm sorry, I stole a book from my grandmother, That's
what I said. The book's titled The Sweetness at the
Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley. So so I

(01:29):
I look, you had a loss for worse, My grandmother
has a lot of recipe books, like she doesn't cook anymore.
But I was looking through like just as we were chatting.
But I didn't take anything. Okay, this is just a misunderstanding.
I guess whatever you want to call it, if you
could just hand the book back over, it's not excuse me,

(01:50):
it's not what I want to call it. It is
what happened. So you're sticking to your story, then I'm
sticking to the truth. Well, we can confirm whether or
not that's the truth by doing a quick over the
phone lie detector test right now, over the phone, my
detector test, you know what. I'm happy to take it
because I did not steal anything. I don't let's just

(02:14):
get right into the lie detector test. So this is
really extreme and I've never heard of anything like this,
but let's just okay, let's leave the opinions aside. Question one,
are you now or have you ever used your grandmother's
identity to get discounts on cheese and liquor at your
local grocery store. Absolutely not. Okay, that was clearly a

(02:40):
lie cheese and liquor. I mean, what are you curious? Like?
Who do you think I am? What type of questions?
Who does my grandma think I am? I can't answer that.
That's the conversation you need to have with your grandma.
But question two, have you ever watched and enjoyed the
reality TV show Jersey Shore? No? Oh, I do, I

(03:03):
do not. I've never even seen that. Everything chrible south.
Once again, the machine can tell when you're giving dishonest answers.
I have no idea what's going on here. This seems
like some kind of joke. And this is not a joke.
This is a serious investigation that we're conducting to see

(03:23):
if you're stealing from your grandmother. What are these ridiculous
questions like? I just I am flustered and overwhelmed. Just
ask me about the book and the reason why you
called me to begin with. I don't understandand let's just
have it your way. How often do you steal books
from your grandmother's living space? Never? I never steal You

(03:46):
want to try again. I've never see maybe like when
I was a kid. I okay, you're gonna break my
line detector machine if you keep shouting lies not lying.
I don't understand what is happening. I will give you
one more chance here, Kristen, have you ever been prank
called on the radio before? I don't know. I don't.

(04:07):
The answer is yes, you have, because that's what's happening
right now. What I don't understand. Your sister Melissa set
you up for a prank call. You're on the radio
right now. Yeah, she listens to our show called Brook
and Jeffrey in the Morning, and she asked us to
do a phone tap on you. So it's all a joke.
Don't worry. It's hilarious though, See how it's not hilarious.

(04:34):
This is an average to low level prank at best.
Oh wow, no buzz for that week up every morning
was phone tap weekday mornings on the twenties Brook and
Jeffrey in the Morning.
