- 0:29Speaker 1: name Spencer Wills, and I work in the leasing office
- 0:32Speaker 1: for its apartments. Oh great. I know we haven't spoken before,
- 0:36Speaker 1: but I just want to say I was so moved
- 0:38Speaker 1: by the email you sent us about your situation. Oh,
- 0:42Speaker 1: thank you. I'm glad you called. Yeah. I just I
- 0:45Speaker 1: wanted to let you know that I have some very
- 0:47Speaker 1: good news. Yeah. We know that times are tough right now,
- 0:51Speaker 1: so I spoke with my colleagues about possibly reducing your rent,
- 0:54Speaker 1: and they said that they'd be willing to lower it
- 0:56Speaker 1: by two hundred and fifty dollars a month at least
- 0:59Speaker 1: till the end of the year. Oh, oh my god,
- 1:01Speaker 1: that's so great. Yeah, I mean, this year's done a thing,
- 1:05Speaker 1: absolutely I understand, and we're just happy to help you out.
- 1:08Speaker 1: I mean, a single woman in her twenties with no
- 1:11Speaker 1: responsibilities definitely deserves our help. Yeah. Yeah, anyway, because of
- 1:16Speaker 1: our generosity, though, we will need to come into your
- 1:19Speaker 1: apartment tomorrow morning and make some slight alterations. Okay, what
- 1:24Speaker 1: do you What do you mean by alterations? I mean
- 1:26Speaker 1: you're getting two hundred and fifty bucks off your rent
- 1:28Speaker 1: each month, so we need to adjust your living space
- 1:31Speaker 1: to account for that. I'm really confused here, what do
- 1:34Speaker 1: you what do you mean? So tomorrow morning, you're going
- 1:37Speaker 1: to need to take out all the food from your
- 1:38Speaker 1: fridge because we're gonna have to take that all the
- 1:42Speaker 1: food from my fridge. No, we're gonna take the fridge.
- 1:45Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Where am I supposed to
- 1:48Speaker 1: put the food? Well, no, we're not leaving you stranded.
- 1:50Speaker 1: We're going to replace it with a mini fridge, one
- 1:52Speaker 1: that's a little less expensive. My food's not going to
- 1:55Speaker 1: fit in a mini fridge. This is ridiculous. Well, you're
- 1:58Speaker 1: getting a good deal though, I mean to fifty dollars
- 2:00Speaker 1: off the rent, that's something. But we have to meet
- 2:03Speaker 1: in the middle here, Tea, you sound disappointed, Well, yeah,
- 2:09Speaker 1: do you not want the rent? Reduction. No, I do,
- 2:12Speaker 1: But a fridge just comes with your apartment. Like, well,
- 2:15Speaker 1: you still have a fridge, it's just smaller than the
- 2:17Speaker 1: one that you were using before. I mean a I
- 2:20Speaker 1: don't live in a dorm anymore and eat a full
- 2:22Speaker 1: sized fridge. Well, with the two hundred and fifty dollars
- 2:24Speaker 1: rent reduction, it's kind of like you are paying for
- 2:26Speaker 1: a dorm. Also, if you could clear off the kitchen countertops,
- 2:31Speaker 1: that would be very helpful for us. Why, because we're
- 2:35Speaker 1: gonna need to remove those. No way removing my kitchen countertops. Yes,
- 2:41Speaker 1: this has to be a joke. You can't take my countertops. Well,
- 2:45Speaker 1: first of all, they're not your kitchen countertops. They belong
- 2:48Speaker 1: to the apartment, so we can take them. Come on,
- 2:51Speaker 1: but we are going to replace it with one that
- 2:53Speaker 1: we have in storage, so we're not leaving you high
- 2:55Speaker 1: and dry. That doesn't even make any sense. How is
- 2:58Speaker 1: taking my kitchen countertops like the labor and like, how
- 3:01Speaker 1: is that even saving you money? Ah? Yeah, see, I
- 3:04Speaker 1: was hoping that you wouldn't ask that because the one
- 3:06Speaker 1: that we're replacing it with in storage, there's some things
- 3:10Speaker 1: going on with it. Okay, what do you mean things
- 3:13Speaker 1: going on with it. Tell me what you mean by that. Well,
- 3:15Speaker 1: one of the previous owners spilled something sticky on it
- 3:18Speaker 1: and we couldn't get it off. It's like builders grade stickiness.
- 3:22Speaker 1: So I would just be careful about putting anything on
- 3:24Speaker 1: there once we put it in there, Like, don't put
- 3:26Speaker 1: your keys or your phone on it, because you won't
- 3:28Speaker 1: be able to pull them off. This is ridiculous. What
- 3:31Speaker 1: are you going to do next? Take my oven and
- 3:33Speaker 1: replace it with an open fire. Actually, I'm really glad
- 3:35Speaker 1: you brought that up, because we are going to be
- 3:37Speaker 1: replacing your oven, but not with an open fire. Oh,
- 3:40Speaker 1: come on, just stop. This is ridiculous. No, just hear
- 3:42Speaker 1: me out. We're going to take out your oven and
- 3:44Speaker 1: replace it with four microwaves. Okay, seriously, Like is that
- 3:49Speaker 1: a funny thing to you? Yeah? Because why why would
- 3:53Speaker 1: you do that? That doesn't make any sense at all. Well,
- 3:56Speaker 1: we're doing you a favor here. We're hoping that you'd
- 3:58Speaker 1: be able to work with some of these things. Like
- 4:00Speaker 1: trying to do me a favor. You are trying to
- 4:02Speaker 1: get me to say that I don't want the retroduction,
- 4:04Speaker 1: that's what you're trying to do. And then you want
- 4:06Speaker 1: to have me keep everything the same and pay the
- 4:08Speaker 1: same amount, not change everything, right, I mean that would
- 4:11Speaker 1: be ideal, But we're just trying to work with you here.
- 4:13Speaker 1: I don't think you're looking at the positives of the situation.
- 4:16Speaker 1: Four microwaves. You could cook four different meals all at
- 4:19Speaker 1: the same time. Why would I want to do that?
- 4:21Speaker 1: I don't know. Like, maybe you have a surf and
- 4:23Speaker 1: turf situation. You could cook the fish in one and
- 4:26Speaker 1: then the steak in another. You warm up the green Okay, Okay,
- 4:29Speaker 1: this is ridiculous. I need to talk to your manager
- 4:31Speaker 1: or whoever's in charge of you. Okay, I can connect you.
- 4:33Speaker 1: But when you talk to him, can you also let
- 4:35Speaker 1: him know that I pranked you? What are you talking about?
- 4:39Speaker 1: This is a joke. My name is Jeffrey from the
- 4:41Speaker 1: radio show Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning. I'm doing
- 4:42Speaker 1: a phone tap on you. No way. Yeah? What? Oh
- 4:47Speaker 1: my god. Your roommate Blake set you up. He said
- 4:50Speaker 1: you emailed your landlord asking for cheaper rent. He wanted
- 4:52Speaker 1: to mess with you. Oh good him. I'm sorry. I
- 4:58Speaker 1: really hope they do reduce your rent, though, me too,
- 5:02Speaker 1: not if it means giving a my friend, I don't know.
- 5:04Speaker 1: The many fridges that they make now are really good.
- 5:07Speaker 1: You could almost fit two whole gatorades in there. Wake
- 5:15Speaker 1: up every morning with Foo tabs weekday mornings on the twenties.
