Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, it is time for a phone tap. And
(00:02):
I think most people would like to be considered a
good neighbor. Yeah. Sure, hopefully you're a good person. You
try to be a good neighbor. If any of my
neighbors are listening, feel free to come. And well I
don't have any sugar, any groceries. That's the thing, Like,
what does it look like exactly to be a good neighbor.
Maybe it means grabbing somebody's mail for them while they're away, Yeah,
(00:22):
letting them borrow your power drill for a week. Oh yeah,
But today I'm going to ask something that most neighbors
might not. I mean, this is definitely crossing the boundaries
of what it means to be a good neighbor, even
what it means to be a good human being. But
you know what, that's why it works for a phone tap. Okay,
we're doing it right now. Hello, Hey, I'm looking to
(00:50):
speak with Dylan.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
This is calling.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Yeah, my name is Joel. I'm not sure if you
remember me, but we met at the block party last weekend.
Remember I'm the guy who just moved in on the corner.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Yeah, I met a lot of people at the parties
were like please excuse me.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
No, that's okay. I know I'm not that memorable. At
least that's what my wife says. Yeah, okay, anyway, I
got your number from Mary because I'm kind of freaking
out right now. So I'm just hoping you can help me.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Sure, I'll do my best. What's up?
Speaker 1 (01:23):
So you remember the long table that they had out
at the party with all the food, and I was
the one who brought the banana cream pie.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Ah, yeah, I remember the pie.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Okay, did you happen to have any of it?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I did? Oh no, I have a few slashes actually.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Okay, yeah, Mary said that you might have had some
of the pie.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Okay, I'm really confuced here. What's going on?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Well, here's what happened. A few hours before the party started.
I was in my kitchen making the pie and I
was okay, really quickly. So I'm almost ninety nine percent
sure that I dropped a piece of paper in there
Bitcoin password on it.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
A piece of paper, Like you think there was like
a piece of paper in the pie?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yeah, because I looked. I can't find it anywhere, so
I don't know if it got stuck on like a
spoon while I was making it, and it got stirred
in I just I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I mean, it's important for you to have that password, but.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
You're telling me, I mean that password is the only
way for me to unlock my life savings. Oh so
that's why I'm freaking out.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yeah, I mean, man, look, I'm really sorry about your situation,
but what can I do about it?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Well, I'm sorry to ask you this, but have you
noticed anything weird come out the other end?
Speaker 2 (02:38):
You know, I don't really usually look, it would be
totally honest, is honestly like a really awkward conversation. I
don't really know you.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Well, yeah, I mean it's awkward for me too, But
you know, I'm just doing what I feel like I
have to do because my password might be right.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
But I don't know you. When you're asking me about
my pooh, like, that's no disrespect. How was that my problem?
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Like, I don't well, I guess it's not your problem.
But we're neighbors supposed to help each other out.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
If I ate it, it's gone.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
We don't know that. That's why I'm just asking you
to look, because I've already spoken with the Sparsburgs, and
I already looked through their daughters you.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Know stuff you did?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
What? Well, they gave me the Okay, it's not like
I barged in their door and demanded to see the
daughter's poop. Dude, it was all cool.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
That's real weird. I can't imagine.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
No, No, I just had them leave it on the
back porch for me so that way I could go
through it on the back. Yeah, I picked it up.
I went through it, and she's clean.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I mean, congratulations. I don't I don't really know.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
I didn't find it.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
So yeah, I mean again, I feel like I would
have noticed, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Okay, I get that, and I understand this isn't ideal,
But would you mind if I just came over and
yet your situation?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
I would mind? Yeah. Like, I'm sorry, I'm kind of
private about you know what.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Actually, it's probably my fault that I approached it like this, Like,
why don't we try and make this a fun thing,
you know, all come out, we can watch some football together,
we can drink a couple of beers, maybe take some
activity yogurt, and then you know, if things start moving.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Are you serious right now?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Like, dude, no, well, big no, I already bought a
big bucket at the store. Dude's just going there.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I'm not gonna do that.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Are you kidding? You're not gonna help me out. You're
not gonna help me find the password for my life savings.
I would let you look through mine, but you want to.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Do you hear yourself? Do you hear what you just
asked me? You don't ask.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
People that well, not just any people, but neighbors.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Dude, I don't know you at all.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Okay, Well, let's get to know each other.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
This is not how you get to know someone. Fine.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I knew this was a long shot that you'd even
say yes to this, So I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Yeah, no, I can't imagine anyone's saying yes to that.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Great, there goes sixty five bucks down the drain.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Why you only had sixty five dollars?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Yeah, that's my life savings. Man, I got sixty five
dollars in bitcoin in one hundred and twenty random beanie babies?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Man, what even is this call? Like? What is it?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I guess The honest answer is this call is a prank.
And my name's Jeff from the radio show Broke and
Jeffrey in the Morning, and we're doing a phone tap
on you. Is that the answer you.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Wanted to hear?

Yeah, man, your neighbor and Mary set you up.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Oh my god, of course it was married. Oh man,
yeah man.
Speaker 1 (05:24):

at the block party going to town on the pie,
so she reached out to us.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Oh yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
You know what, here's the deal. I know I may

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
