  Speaker 1: a phone tap, and today we call a woman whose
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: grandfather is at an assisted living facility. She doesn't know this,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: but there's been some weird stuff going on there. Oh wa.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: It might not seem weird to the general public, but
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: to me, as the manager of the retirement home, it's
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: downright strange and it's got to stop. So I hope
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: she can understand the seriousness of what her grandfather's been
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: doing and maybe help us to take him down. Phone
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: tap right now, As on the twenties, Hello, no, no, stop.
• 0:56
  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 is Peter Nkman.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I'm calling from an assisted living facility. Is this Lindsay?
• 1:09
  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.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: That's my grandfather. Okay, everything okay, Oh yeah, Yeah, he's fine.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I was just wondering if he told you anything about
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: what's been going on around here lately. No, it is
• 1:26
  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.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: And what kind of drama. Yeah, So it seems as
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: though your grandfather is the ringleader and he's attempting to
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: get the other residents involved in a retirement home strike.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: What yeah, what do you mean? A retirement at home strike? Like,
• 1:45
  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
• 1:51
  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
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: didn't laugh. It's kind of a serious situation here. Well,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: it's ridiculous to me. I mean, I don't understand. You
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: have a staff there, right, you have a staff that's
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: overseeing all of this, and like, can't they do anything
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: about it? We're trying everything in our power, but your
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: grandfather's actually has a lot of sway here. And it
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: all started with dessert because last Monday, he asked for
• 2:15
  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 Sedana pudding or he actually liked
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: better Stotch pudding as well. Pudding isn't the main issue here,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: because after that he held informal meetings in the community
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: room and was demanded things like five hours of television
• 2:39
  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
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: room the other day with his roommate and they made signs.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: One of them says, hell, no more jello, and that's
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: a big no no around here. You're laughing again. But
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: now this is like completely ridiculous to me. I just like,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: so that is so off. You know, that's not on
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: point for him. I mean, he's like almost wheelchair bound
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: when I come. So the fact that he's holding these
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: meetings incognito, et cetera, et cetera, is completely ridiculous to me.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: But it's look, it's much worse than that. I've only
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: told you the tip of the iceberg because one of
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the nurses just found him leaving secret messages for the
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Bridge Club. In an old crossword in the lobby, he
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: spelled rebel backwards and across. No, I mean this has
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: to stop. Well, so you're calling me, and what am
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I supposed to do about it? As a relative? We're
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: hoping that you could talk to him, because if they're
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: able to unionize their movement and get the AARP behind them,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I mean we could be over and double desserts are
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: going to be the new norm, and it just we
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: can't have that happen. Can I ask a dumb question here?
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, why can't they have a thanks? Why can't
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: they have a double dessert? I mean, they're like at
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: the end of their lives, anyhow, have dessert for every meal?
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: For what I care? You just come on, think of
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: all the chocolate, because we already have a hard enough
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: time out all the stains from the table clods as
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: it is. And then you want to add chocolate into
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the mix too, Yeah, we do, and perhaps maybe some
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: strawberry et cetera, et cetera. It's like, who cares. Look,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to tell you this, but your grandfather
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: has contacted the local news No, and he's supposed to
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: be interviewed this afternoon about it. No way. Yeah, but look,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: we got the drop on him. So we called the
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: news station pretending to be Arthur, and we had the
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: interview move from two pm to two thirty. So I
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: think we're sick. So how do you get the drop
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: out about changing the time of the interviews? So that's
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: when Matt Locke's on the Hallmark channel and he's not
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: gonna want to miss that for anything. Oh my god,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: two can play at this game, Arthur, and as easily
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: is the most ridiculous and name stupid thing that I
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: have ever heard. And like, okay, well, honestly, this is
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: probably the most ridiculous and stupid in name thing I've
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: ever done. You know, doing a prank phone call about
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: a grandpa strike? What your parents, Robin, Jennifer. Listen to
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: our radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, and
• 5:06

• 5:12
  Speaker 1: your parents are characters. We talked to them. They said,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: you haven't seen your grandpa lately, so they wanted to
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: prank you with an update. They're making picket signs in
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: the community room, having like covert meetings. Oh my god,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: there's a problem. There's glitter everywhere, all inside their wrinkles,
• 5:29
