It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And in today's
prank call, a guy received a notice in the mail
recently from the city saying they're going to be doing
work on his block. And the letter had a bunch
of random like symbols and numbers in it, like one, dash, three, five, six,
pound pound nine. So he went to his wife and
(00:20):
he said, do you know what the heck is happening
on our street next week? She just shook her head
and thought, you know what, Why don't I let my
favorite radio show handle this? Yes, so she sent us
the info and we took it from there. In your phone,
tap right now.

confusing statues of people riding squirrels. Okay, did you get
our letter that we saund about the work we'll be
doing in your neighborhood?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I did great, but it was kind of confusing to
be oh, perfectly honest with me.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Okay, Well, I can clear it up for you if
there's any confusion.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Yeah, So, after digging into some colonial maps and taking
soil records, we've confirmed that your front yard is the
original site of the Revolutionary War's long forgotten Battle of
Baked Bean Hill. Wait. Pretty exciting, really, absolutely seventeen seventy
(01:35):
eight two militia's one pot of beans. Everyone had gas,
nobody won, but it mattered. So now your lawn is
officially historic.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Wait wait, wait, you're kidding right.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
No, I'm one hundred percent serious the Battle of Baked
Bean Hill. I know most history books skip it, but hey,
look at this. Now you're the proud steward of America's
most gastro in Testine battle. Congratulations.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
So I'm confused. Is there is there money involved here?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Money? What you're talking to the city? Warren? We don't
have any money.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Oh I'm concerned.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
That was good. No I needed that laugh, Thank you,
thank you. I'm calling because actually, by law, the city
will be craning in a full sized cannon onto your
front yard next Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
No, no, you're not. You gotta be Kiden Gay.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Well, yes, that's where the battle happened on your front property,
so we have to.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
No, no, no, no, no, you're not doing anything to
our front lawn.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, it's already been approved. No, so we have the cannon.
It weighs about sixteen hundred pounds.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
You guys are not doing anything to our front lawn.
You're not bringing cannons, and you're not battle I don't care.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Quick little correction. It's not multiple cannons. It's just one.
Her name is Martha Why, and she's actually been fully
restored with authentic creaks and even historical bean splatter damage.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
What are you guys talking about? How is this okay?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
It was because there will be tour groups there coming
up the summer of wanting to take pictures with it.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
No, that is not happening. It is absolutely not. These
people are gonna have a problem if you come to
my property. I'm telling you right now, Warren, you're gonna
have an issue, Sir.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I hear your frustration. I understand. It's night.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Sin This is not happening on my property, sir, gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Just keep in mind this is a heritage artillery placement.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Well. The city council voted during a pancake breakfast and
it passed unanimously.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Oh my gosh, Sinny the losses got mine.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Honestly, it probably mostly passed because nobody was listening. It
tends to be how the meetings go.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Are you hearing it? Though?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
That's neither here nor there. I'm more focused on getting
you into our history books.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
No, this is not happening.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Oh gosh, okay, well you're definitely not gonna want to
hear about phase two of the project. Then the reenactment,
chili cookoff?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
What you talking about?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
What thirty reenactors will be hired with four bean tents
and one man on stilts dressed as Paul Revere.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
This cannot be a thing, and it's not happening on
my property.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Warren, Warren, listen to me, I won't. You're standing on
sacred bean soil.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
American men fought and tooted for freedom right where you live.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
What kind of city celebrates a battle like this?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
The kind of city that remembers, the kind that's not
afraid to cannon up in a cul de sac, the
kind that prank calls people on the radio. Why that's
the kind of city that you live in, sir, And
you should be proud of that.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
You said, what about phone call?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I said that this is a prank call because you're
actually on Brook and Jeffrey in the morning and there's
no cannons. Dude, you're being phone tapped.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
You gotta be kidding me.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Nud Your wife, Alicia set you up. She said you
were confused after getting a letter from the city and
the mail and you didn't know what it meant. You
were worried, just like all the soldiers did during the
Battle of Baked Bean Hill. I didn't even get to
(05:23):
tell you about the small rope perimeter and the animatronic
squirrel that yells beans for liberty. He was only gonna
say it, what's an hour.
