Hey, it's time for your prank phone calls Brook and
Jeffrey in the morning, and today we're reaching out to
a guy who just sold his jeep Wrangler online. Okay,
he thought it was going to be easy to ship,
but it's turned out to be a giant headache. We
fill out a lot of paperwork, actually made some mistakes,
and he told his friend, man, I just really hope

(00:20):
it gets to where it needs to go, and maybe
it will, but in the meantime, we're going to call
and say nope, it didn't. In your phone tap right now. Hello, Hi,

What it's just coming through. You're very masculine sounding. I'm impressed. Okay,
thank you? Okay, Sorr. Is the car going to get

(01:29):
all right? So, according to my logs, it should be
in port probably within five weeks, maybe six, depending on customs. Okay,
do you say customs? Yeah? Well, when we ship international,
it gets to be a little bit of a headache. International.
Say what I said, I'm shipping domestic. This isn't an

(01:52):
international to Mexico. Did you say? That's not what I
have on my logs here? Domestic? Domestic cotch? No? Is

bit of fun with you. Kick the can around, just
you and me. My god, you're playing spin the rosie
around the pole? Can you answer my question? Sorry? I'm sorry?
What was your question? Why are you saying customs? Why
is the car going through custom right? Right? Okay, so

(02:38):
it has to go through customs on its way over
to Russia. I'm shipping into Saint Paul, Minnesota from inside
the United States. Wait, what why is it going to Russia?
Hold the hold the phone? You hold? No, hold your phone.
You need to hold the phone because I have here.

(02:58):
It says say Petersburg, Russia, not Saint Paul, Minnesota. No,
Oh my gosh, Josh, that is a huge whoopsie doodle.
What are you talking about? Did you fill out the
paperwork incorrectly? Because you did say this is your first time?

(03:18):
I don't know what is your drinking on a job
or something on? It's not even thirsty Thursday. Can I
please talk to someone else? I am the only person
who is currently working here, Josh, the only at this company?
You know, cutbacks, layoffs, It's really sad. Tier I had

(03:39):
a friend who worked here named Troy. Okay, No, do
not tell me any stories. Okay, I'm just trying to
relate to you here, Josh, I need to get all
pants all into kerfuffle. Can you not see why I'm
frustrated right now? Did you know Troy too? No? What
is okay? Oh? You are what? Who are you? You?

(04:00):
Like a car two character? I'm Terry, remember, are you laughing. No,
tear bear. That's what Troy would call me when we
would go on our breaks for lunch. When am I
getting my money for the car? I don't care where
it is. I don't care where it's going. I just

(04:20):
want the money. I hear you. You want it, You
want it bad. When am I getting it? Because it's
going over to Russia, it's probably going to take five
to six months, and what I will need a little
bit of extra money on your end to pay off
those You know, the Russians can be tricky when they're

(04:41):
using customs. You know, Troy actually took a twenty three
and me test and found out he was at the
stuff about Troy. Oh, but Troy would have loved to
hear this conversation, especially since it's a prank. What are
you talking about? You know how Russians prank calls on
the radio with the show called Brooke and Jeffrey in

that you tried shipping your car recently when you sold

(05:26):
it was Troy who set you up, but I don't
want to hear the boy. Come on now, me and
Troy are getting together for lunch later. Do you want
