Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I have a few pet peeves that I think we
- 0:02Speaker 1: all know about. Okay, bad tippers, why are you looking at? Also,
- 0:10Speaker 1: bad singers don't look at me? At me of course,
- 0:15Speaker 1: North American bakery owners who don't know basic mid century
- 0:19Speaker 1: Japanese history. Why are you looking at anyone in this room? Well,
- 0:24Speaker 1: luckily we're all safe there, but it's not easy to
- 0:27Speaker 1: do all these phone pranks and find out what someone's
- 0:29Speaker 1: weakness is. Luckily that's what one lady's husband told us,
- 0:33Speaker 1: though she doesn't know anything about the history of Japan,
- 0:38Speaker 1: and that sickens me. So we're gonna make this phone
- 0:42Speaker 1: call very uncomfortable for her far east. Okay, it's her
- 0:47Speaker 1: phone tap right now. It's another on the twenties the bakery.
- 0:55Speaker 1: How may I help you? Hi? Are you the manager?
- 0:59Speaker 1: I'm actually the owner? Oh oh you're you're Leah? Oh yes, Sam,
- 1:05Speaker 1: So I know we never met before, but my name's
- 1:08Speaker 1: Cal and I work for Foreign affairs. Foreign affairs. I'm
- 1:14Speaker 1: calling because we recently invited the Crown Prince of Japan
- 1:18Speaker 1: to come visit us, and while he's in town, we
- 1:21Speaker 1: were going to show him some of the sites. Oh
- 1:25Speaker 1: all right, and we wanted to give him a little
- 1:26Speaker 1: taste of the local culture. So we were thinking maybe
- 1:31Speaker 1: that could start at your bakery. Oh wow, thank you,
- 1:35Speaker 1: that is awesome. Well, I would love to help you
- 1:38Speaker 1: anyway I can, and just to go over the plan
- 1:40Speaker 1: real quick. It'd be pretty simple. The Prince would come in,
- 1:43Speaker 1: he'd taste a couple of your pastries, take some photos,
- 1:47Speaker 1: and if he doesn't like something, then we're going to
- 1:49Speaker 1: shut your store down. But just what, I don't think
- 1:54Speaker 1: you can do that, Leah. No, no, I'm kidding. I'm killing
- 2:00Speaker 1: just a little joke, but I'm nervous there. Yeah. So
- 2:03Speaker 1: just before we lock this into the calendar, I have
- 2:05Speaker 1: to ask you a few simple questions about you and
- 2:07Speaker 1: your business. Sure, sure. Question one, do you have security
- 2:12Speaker 1: cameras on the premises? Yes, we do. We have one
- 2:15Speaker 1: at the front door and one in the back. That's
- 2:17Speaker 1: what she said. What No, sorry, sorry, never mind? Oh
- 2:22Speaker 1: excuse me. Yeah, let's get serious for a second and
- 2:25Speaker 1: talk about Japanese culture. So who's your favorite emperor? Was
- 2:30Speaker 1: it Fushahido from fourteen sixty four to fifteen hundred or
- 2:34Speaker 1: you more of a Nori Yoshi fan the fourteenth century?
- 2:39Speaker 1: You know, i'd have to say, I don't have an
- 2:41Speaker 1: opinion on that. I'm sorry, what I guess I'm not
- 2:44Speaker 1: up on my Jacknese culture. Are you joking? No? No,
- 2:49Speaker 1: why would I have any clue about any of that.
- 2:52Speaker 1: I don't know. Everybody knows Fushahido was more benevolent while
- 2:55Speaker 1: Nori Yoshi was a little more ruthless. Is that right? Yeah?
- 3:00Speaker 1: You want me to pick the benevolent one. Well, I mean,
- 3:03Speaker 1: I can't tell you who to pick, but I do
- 3:05Speaker 1: promise you this one is going to offend the prince. Well,
- 3:10Speaker 1: then I'm going to pick the one who won't offend
- 3:12Speaker 1: the prince, aren't I? Okay, you know I can't give
- 3:15Speaker 1: this away. Maybe we should just move on to the
- 3:17Speaker 1: next question. Do you have a favorite Japanese movie? Because
- 3:20Speaker 1: the Crown Prince is huge film buff? I do not. Again,
- 3:25Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but I really I could look some of
- 3:27Speaker 1: those up and pick one. Okay, See now I'm getting
- 3:30Speaker 1: a little bit worried. I just pulled one up on
- 3:33Speaker 1: my phone. How about crazy rich Asians? Does that sound okay? Oh? No, no,
- 3:39Speaker 1: that's Singapore, that's not Japan. Oh did you go to
- 3:42Speaker 1: public school? Is that what that is? Excuse me? You know,
- 3:46Speaker 1: what does that have to do with anything. I'm just
- 3:48Speaker 1: guessing your favorite TV show is probably not Jeopardy. Maybe
- 3:51Speaker 1: you're more of a Fuller House type of gal. Have
- 3:54Speaker 1: the Less Funny remake. I don't think I'll even respond
- 3:57Speaker 1: to that. Do you have more questions for me? Because
- 4:00Speaker 1: me not so much questions as tips and pointers, Like
- 4:03Speaker 1: when the Prince comes, you need to make sure you're
- 4:05Speaker 1: not scared, but also you're not too friendly. Well what
- 4:09Speaker 1: does that even mean? I mean just the happy medium
- 4:12Speaker 1: in between, like your bows need to be within the
- 4:15Speaker 1: thirty six to thirty seven degrees forward range and make
- 4:18Speaker 1: sure you're bending only at the waist from so specific.
- 4:21Speaker 1: I don't even know what that means. What does it
- 4:23Speaker 1: even look like? Thirty six to thirty seven degrees? I
- 4:25Speaker 1: don't even know. Okay, well you can look it up
- 4:26Speaker 1: on YouTube and practice there. Just get like a protractor
- 4:29Speaker 1: and measure the angle. I am the only one here
- 4:32Speaker 1: right now at my business, and I don't really have
- 4:35Speaker 1: time for all of this. When when was this supposed
- 4:37Speaker 1: to happen? Because I don't think I can do this
- 4:39Speaker 1: if I had. The Prince is coming in ninety minutes.
- 4:44Speaker 1: Excuse me, what you're going to ban the Crown Prince
- 4:47Speaker 1: of Japan from coming in. No, I am fan. I
- 4:51Speaker 1: am just turning down the opportunity to showcase my business
- 4:55Speaker 1: with the prince because you have not given me sufficient time.
- 4:59Speaker 1: I should have known this. Your husband did warn me
- 5:01Speaker 1: about your severe lack of knowledge of the Asian culture.
- 5:05Speaker 1: My husband's what Aaron? What? Yep, Aaron is the one
- 5:10Speaker 1: that told me to call you and do this prank.
- 5:15Speaker 1: Because my name's actually jeff from the radio show Brook
- 5:17Speaker 1: and Jeffrey in the Morning. Oh, thank god, you have
- 5:21Speaker 1: no idea. How would we tell you right now? God,
- 5:25Speaker 1: your husband set you up because he said your bakery's
- 5:28Speaker 1: getting huge reviews online. When you want to have a
- 5:30Speaker 1: little bit of fun with you about it? You because boy,
- 5:33Speaker 1: I was really sweating it. You have no idea how
- 5:36Speaker 1: nervous she did it is because of the public school education, right,
- 5:40Speaker 1: A good one on my back. I put you through
- 5:44Speaker 1: the phone. You got public school written all over you. Unfortunately. Yeah,
