Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's almost time for your phone tap, and gonna need

(00:02):
to give you a little bit of background on this
one because there's a woman named Gina who lives with
her boyfriend in a house.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Oh okay, Gina boyfriend.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Lived together recently, both of them have been complaining about
a weird smell that they've noticed. So Gina wants to
bring out an exterminator to check if a road in
or something died nearby. But her boyfriend, he's the smart
one because he reached out to us instead to prank her.

(00:33):
In your phone tap right now, it's another.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Hello.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Hi, this is Sergeant Eli Brand from the County Sheriff's Office.
I'm looking for Genas.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Please, yeah, this is her. What's going on?

Speaker 3 (00:49):
Man, We're gonna need you to come down to the
station sometime in the next twenty four hours. What is
There has been a suspected crime that you may be
involved with, and we need to.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Have a conversation.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
A crime, a property crime technically, and we believe you're
the victim of this crime.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Man, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
So about a month ago, we got a call from
one of your neighbors about a suspicious person walking around
in the middle of the night.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
Okay, why wasn't I told about this? Well, initially we
just sent a car. It wasn't a big deal. And
did they find anything? They did?

Speaker 3 (01:26):
At around two am, detectives witnessed a man taking a
ladder off of his truck.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
He climbed up onto your roof.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
What and then apparently dropped his pants and took a
number two inside of your chimney?

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Oh my god. Yeah, we were shocked, all of us.
Why wasn't anyone did you? Did you arrest him? Why
didn't you ring my doorbell?

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:47):
Well, we didn't take him into custody at first, right,
so we set up surveillance and gathered more evidence.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
I'm sorry, what more evidence do you need? If people
saw him do it, you are not police. Allow me
to do my job. All right, we're building a case here.
What do you mean a case? What does that even mean?
Is you're just taking dumps in people's chimneys all over
the neighborhood.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
We now have recordings of him doing this eighteen separate times.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Oh my god, yeah, exactly what we said. So is
this meant? Do you have video of him at my.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
House only three times?

Speaker 2 (02:24):
What's wrong with you.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
That's our idea as well, and that's what we're gonna
do eventually.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Don't plan on doing it, just do it already, ma'am.
We're starting to get off track here and no need
to focus.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
No, so we are going to keep watching him, and
I need you to not do anything.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Yes, are you insane?

Speaker 3 (02:43):
Act like business as usual? Even hear any sounds on
your roof tonight.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Do nothing.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
You don't want me to do a damn thing if
a guy takes a down my chimney. I know it
sounds ridiculous, but we'll get our guy.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
It sounds like you're enjoying this, and you guys are
probably having a laugh about it's down at the station. Man.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
Believe me, I'm not having fun with some rooftop crapper
who's out here pulling his pants down, taking twosies, willy nilly,
jumping up and down and skipping afterwards and giggling.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
The way you just described it sounds like some fun
video montage.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
It could be he did set up a tripod at
one point. He could be filming a fun video for
the Internet. We don't know the motive.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Jesus though, he's filming this too how many people are
filming this.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
She's filming while we're filming, so we have a lot
on him.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
You see him, you.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Know he's up there. You could just walk up to
the ladder and then arrest him that but we.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
Don't know when he shows up. Sometimes it's like midnight.
Sometimes it's twelve fifteen.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Oh that's within fifteen minutes. I know, it varies. It's
all over the board. We got to switch this. Sometimes,
you guys are idiots. What are you going to do?
That's a great question.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
I'm actually talking to headquarters about getting a drone on
the scene.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
What no, so we can get even more.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
And then we could splice it together with all the
other videos.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
You go, you watched him do it, ma'am. Just hear
me out. Okay, think of the copycats.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
There is another Once this story gets out, can you
imagine the hordes of men all over the city taking
chimney dumps.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
That's what you're worried about. It's gonna get worse. So
why are you even thinking about dozens of other people
when you can't even fix the exactly. That's why we
can't have this happend.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
This is worse than the Keystone Cup, Like you guys
are ma'am.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
We are actively working on this case. And you know
what's bad.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
There's another guy named Cody who lives in your house
who's also a suspect what otherwise known as the phantom plopper.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
I have no idea what you're talking about.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
Cody, your boyfriend, Cody, he's the one who set you
up for this prank phone call.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Wait what Hello? Yes, because you're actually on Brooke Andjeffrey
in the morning. This is Jose We just phone tapped
you there, it is which you.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Told me that you have this video of a height
seeking jumps down people's jimneys eighteen times. My head was
about to pop off.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
Hey, once we get at least forty seven different videos
of it happening, then we can start building a case.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
I think, what's up there with til sixty? Now we're talking,
you need to join the force.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
I definitely be the smartest person there.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Weeke up every morning which phone taps weekday morning of
the twenties, freaking Jeffrey in the morning.
