• 1:58
  Speaker 4: Okay, go on, Yeah, they said.
• 2:00

  Speaker 3: Snakes?

  Speaker 4: You put snake in the retirement home?
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Oh goodness. We just ordered five lifelike black mambas off Amazon.

  Speaker 2: Very realistic, but not the real thing. Okay, We kind
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: of like put.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Them around the dining room under some of the chairs.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: By the pudding.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: Did you tell the residents that you were doing this?
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: You know, I wish I would have talked to you before,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: because that is one thing we forgot.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: What kind of slipped my mind.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: Is my grandma Okay, Oh, your grandma's fine.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just that some.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Of the other residents that didn't have their readers with
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: them didn't realize that they weren't.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: Real Are you serious?
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: There was a little commotion.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: I did hear a couple of I'm gonna die screams.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: But I don't know. I don't understand how you're so
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: cavalier about this. This is not funny, you know, Tim, I.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Work in a job where you just have to s
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: a positive a lot of people at the end.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: You know, you don't only get pulled down with.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Them, but somebody over there has to. You have to
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: appreciate that this is an objectively bad idea. I mean,
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: these people, some of them have, you know, dementia, and
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: if they encounter something like that.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: But do you know what, Tim, I'm going to interrupt you,
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: because you know what they don't have.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: They don't have a rat problem anymore. And you have
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: me to thank for that.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: Okay, I appreciate that there's no more rodents.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: But I get that you may be bothered by the
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: whole black mamba rat thing. But really that was very
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: minor compared to what was going on at the gazebo.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: There was another incident, well, the outside.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: One where they like to read. There's a lot of
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: birds that gather and.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: It just costs money to clean and maintain all those
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: bird droppings. So we had that same expert look at
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: that problem.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: Are you sure this was an expert? Where did you
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: hire this guy?
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: I can't reveal all my sources, Griggs list. Yeah, but
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: you have another great recommendation.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: We purchased seven lifelike Arabian killing wolves on Amazon.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Are you there are wolves that are called killing wolves?
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Don't worry this time we learned our lesson. We actually
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: told the residents about.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: This, and again, how did the residents react?
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Well, we said you will see wolves out by the gazebo, and.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: You know what, now they don't want to go out there.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: Why did you tell them they were wolves? Why didn't
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: you say that they were fake wolves?
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Why? Fake?
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Why do you think this is funny?
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: You should work here?
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: It's okay, no about that? Who's your boss? Where do
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: I go and file a complaint?
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: This is I'm.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: The owner and the director.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: That's why I was able to spend the extra money
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: to get the wolves with the glowing eyeballs, so that
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: you can really see them in the bushes or was
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: this nepotism?
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: It sounds like you're horribly disqualified for this job.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, I'm going to ignore that. Here's the thing.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: We really wanted to get these residents on board with
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: the wolves, so we just a Haad and brought him
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: into their rooms.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: What is wrong with you? That is horrible.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Your grandma's best friends with one name Charlie.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: Okay, you should call her once.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: In a while.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: I did, well, I thought I did, but I never
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: heard anything about this. When was this?
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: I think it was about the same time when your
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: sister contacted us to do a break phone call on you.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Wait, Corey, right, your sister Corey.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: Sorry, what happened?
