  Speaker 1: for a phone tap, and today we call a woman
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: whose grandfather is at an assisted living facility. She doesn't
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: know this, but there's been some weird stuff going on there.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Oh who. It might not seem weird to the general public,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: but to me, as the manager of the retirement home,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: it's downright strange and it's got to stop. So I
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: hope she can understand the seriousness of what her grandfather's
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: been doing and maybe help us to take him down.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: A brand new phone tap right now. Another on the twenties. Hello, no, no, stop,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I'll play with your hair, you can't play with mine. Hello. Hello, Sorry, Hello, Sorry,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I didn't know you're answered. Hi. My name's Peter Bnkman.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I'm calling from an assisted living facility. Is this Lindsay?
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: It is Hi, Lindsay. I found your number on the
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: contact list for one of our residents. Named Arthur. Yeah,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: that's my grandfather. Okay, everything okay, Oh yeah, yeah, he's fine.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I was just wondering if he told you anything about
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: what's been going on around here lately. No, it is
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the first time I've heard about it. What's happening? Well,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: he's kind of been wrapped up in some drama around here.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: And what kind of drama? Yeah, So it seems as
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: though your grandfather is the ringleader and he's attempting to
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: get the other residents involved in a retirement home strike.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: What yeah, what do you mean a retirement at home strike? Like?
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: What even is that? So he's encouraging all the other
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: residents here to stop taking their medication until their list
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: of demands are met. That's ridiculous. Why would he do
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: something like that? Man, I would appreciate it if you
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: didn't laugh. It's kind of a serious situation here. Well,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: it's ridiculous to me. I mean, I don't understand. You
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: have a staff there, right, you have a staff that's
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: overseeing all of this, and like, can't they do anything
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: about it? We're trying everything in our power, but your
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: grandfather's actually has a lot of sway here. And it
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: all started with dessert because last Monday he asked for
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: a second chocolate pudding but we were out, and so
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: he got really angry, or actually he fell asleep in
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: his seat, but then when he woke up he got
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: super angry. Wow. Yeah, and you guys couldn't offer anything
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: else like cake or banana pudding or he actually liked
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: better Scotch pudding as well. Pudding isn't the main issue here,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: because after that he held informal meetings in the community
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: room and was demanded things like five hours of television
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: time instead of just four. So this keeps escalating. Holy
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: how Yeah. He even broke into the arts and crafts
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: room the other day with his roommate and they made signs.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: One of them says, hell, no more jello, and that's
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: a big no no around here. You're laughing again. But
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: now this is like completely ridiculous to me. It's like
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: he's so that is so off. You know, that's not
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: on point for him. I mean he's like almost wheelchair
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: bound when I come. So the fact that he's holding
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: these meeting incognito et cetera, et cetera is completely ridiculous
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: to me. But it's look, it's much worse than that.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I've only told you the tip of the iceberg because
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: one of the nurses just found him leaving secret messages
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: for the Bridge Club. In an old crossword in the lobby,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: he spelled rebel backwards and across. No, I mean this
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: has to stop. Well, so you're calling me, and what
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: am I supposed to do about it? As a relative?
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: We're hoping that you could talk to him, because if
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: they're able to unionize their movement and get the AARP
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: behind them, I mean we could be over and double
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: desserts are going to be the new norm, and it
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: just we can't have that happen. Can I ask a
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: dumb question here? I mean, why can't they have a thanks?
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Why can't they have a double dessert? I mean, they're
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: like at the end of their lives, anyhow, have dessert
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: for every meal? For what I care? You just come on,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: think of all the chocolate, because we already have a
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: hard enough time getting out all the stains from the
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: table clods as it is. And then you want to
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: add chocolate into the mix too, Yeah, we do, and
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: perhaps maybe some strawberry et cetera, et cetera. It's like,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: who cares? Look, I didn't want to tell you this,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: but your grandfather has contacted the local news No, and
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: he's supposed to be interviewed this afternoon about it. No way. Yeah,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: but look we got the drop on him. So we
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: called the news station pretending to be Arthur, and we
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: had the interview move from two PM to two thirty.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: So I think we're so how do you get the
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: drop out by changing the time of the interviews? So
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: that's when Mattlock's on the Hallmark channel and he's not
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: gonna want to miss that for anything. Oh my god,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: two can play at this game, Arthur, and as easily
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: is the most ridiculous and name stupid thing that I
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: have ever heard. And like, I okay, well, honestly, this
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: is probably the most ridiculous and stupid in name thing
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I've ever done, you know, doing a prank phone call
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: about a grandpa strike? What your parents, Robin, Jennifer. Listen

• 5:16
  Speaker 1: so they wanted to prank you with an update. They're
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: making picket signs in the community room, having like covert meetings. Yea,
