Speaker 1 (00:00):
Recently, we got an email from a guy who was
beside himself when he learned that his buddy still goes
to the library to rent DVDs.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Oh that is not funny.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Is funny?

Speaker 1 (00:13):
There are a lot of ha haas and he he's
with mocking tones surrounding it when he learned that. But
you wouldn't believe the choices that they have.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
I don't think I would believe that catalog.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
He even told us one specific DVD his friend rented
that was going to be late, so we took advantage
of what was on it and brought back our good
friend Clover ex British Black Ops to call him out
in your phone tap right now.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
Another Hello, your light? What I said, your light.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Tick?

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Late talk T talk.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
I think you have the wrong number.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
Oh, I believe I have the right number. Is this Andy? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:03):
It is?

Speaker 3 (01:03):
That's you correct?

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Who is this?

Speaker 3 (01:07):
The name's Frank, But my mates call me Clover. You
take yeah, Clover, because I'm lucky to be alive.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
What what you.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Clearly haven't figured out yet is that I work at
the library. You tend to frequent are you?

Speaker 2 (01:24):
You're an employee at the library.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
Affirmative and my system says, you read the DVD Italian
Job from us recently, and according to my watch, it's
precisely three minutes late.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Two minutes. Come on, are you kidding me?

Speaker 3 (01:39):
I'm serious as a doorknob.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
I don't know what that means. But I finally return
it today.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
You say that, and I'd like to believe you. But
what I'm wondering is, why are you're holding on to
it so long? What's the motive.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
There's no motive.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
It's just late, conveniently late, almost like it was planned.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
I just haven't watched it yet. I'm gonna watch it
right now.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
You haven't watched it, But before you were gonna return it, I.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Was always gonna return it. I just I just still
need to watch it. Today's my day off.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Look, mate, I've been in this industry for a long time.
No one's trolling a video shop for entertainment anymore, not
unless their Telly's been nicked.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Is that supposed to mean something? I don't even know
what that means.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
It means tell me what you're planning.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
There's no plan, it's just late. There's a fine, I'll
pay it.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
Okay, Look at that? Huh. If there's a fine, you'll
pay it. Suddenly the library uses flash with money right
after renting a heist movie. I wonder how that happened.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Huh to your saying, because I've rented the Italian job,
I'm planning my own heist.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
Listen, mate, I wasn't always knee deep and overdue books
and dusty encyclopedias. Back in the day before my so
called retirement, I was involved with spooks, shadows, syncret cases,
all of that. So one can smell a rat from
a Marlo wine.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Okay, man, I've never stolen anything in my life.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
You're saying you've never stolen anything before.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Never, I promised him. I'm saying never.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
Well, you're missing out. If you do it right. It's
a bloody symphony of chaos, every note playing the perfection.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (03:22):
Ghosts in the wind, slipping through locks like whispers while
insurgents are closing from every angle.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Listen, man, I don't know what you're doing with your weird,
threatening voice, but I'm.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
Here about that, just reminiscing for a minute in my
head when I was doing recon on a high profile
warlord and Mozambique. Anyway, Well, will we Oh? Yes, your
davy day is now late by six minutes. Talk.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Hey, look, I'm coming in. Just get off my back.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Fine, I'll stand down, but your friend Tucker won't. Hey
set you up for this prank phone call, and he
says he'll never stand down.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Tucker.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
Yeah, Tucker, or as my regular voice to call him
Tucker because this is actually Jose from the radio show
Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning, and we're doing a
phone tap onod You man, your buddy Tucker says he
makes funny of you all the time for running DVDs
from the library. You're like the only person he knows
that does that.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
He does, I really thought the weirdo on the phone.
We thought I was planning a height.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
Sounds like you're looking for some extra muscle for the job. Man. No, no, alright,
find me in a ventilation shop at a library in minutes.
I'll be waiting for your signal. The signal is kuck
a bar and left the hen.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Okay, I'll wear my Spanex bodysuit perfect.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
Oh, don't forget the DVD though. The week of every
morning was funk taps weekday mornings on the twenties, Brook
and Jeffrey in the morning,
