People are tricking iPhone users into charging their devices in their microwave ovens. An old Phone Show clip is played. Brad gets warm fuzzies from hearing it. A listener asks for info on 90's prank caller Nate Conroy but even Brad hasn't heard of him.

11:33: Tenant Gary asks Linda at the Enclave apartments for advice on his leaking water reservoir. Linda's more interested in knowing Gary's apartment number than hearing about the thousands of gallons of water leaking out into the building. Squatters rights get claimed when it appears that Gary is living in the building's show apartment. Gary then realizes that he may actually live in the apartment next door - this whole subletting thing is sketchy as hell anyway. Linda is now convinced that Gary is full of BS and sees 'nosy bitch' as a good character trait in her line of work. Gary can't win, she thinks he's hilarious and just wants to chat.

17:43: Del Prado resident Michael is having some problems after removing the load-bearing wall so he can 'move in' with his girlfriend next door. The Del Prado maintenance guy is out currently but the seed is planted and Brad notes to put this one on the simmer to call back later in the show.

20:04: Roy from apt. 203 has a problem with the leaking bidet that he installed. Megan, quick off the line, realizes Roy isn't on the lease and is chock full of suspicion and questions. Roy wouldn't joke about this and just wants the water turned off, but Megan wants to meet him outside, obviously to fight, although she denies this (she just wants to talk). Roy feels threatened by Megan and just keeps thrashing out at her.

24:50: Brad's mixer has scratchy controls. It's all Carlito's and Sloth's fault.

27:17: Sensei Doug wants Fat Willy (Lord Valve) at the electronics store next door to his dojo to stop LOOKING at him every time he walks by. Willy is full of denial and name drops another sensei. Doug cautions Willy against starting things with people who know karate but still feels threatened by him, but Willy is just an old dude with a bad heart and a gammy leg and just wants to be left alone. The listener who submitted the number obviously has a death wish against Doug, as when he calls back as suggested to ask if Willy fixes flamethrowers, the comeback is already primed - Doug is making a BAD F\*^&%\*$ mistake. (Spoiler time: Seems that Longmont Potion Castle got in first to ask Willy about fixing flamethrowers - Brad finds this out in a future episode).

35:49: Brad reads out a list of failed prank requests so people don't bitch at him.

36:40: Del Prado finally picks up for Michael, who's now noticed gold doubloons falling out of the sagging ceiling from where he removed that wall. The staff just want to help, but Michael is paranoid that they'll take the stash. A leaky pipe materializes, but the lady on the phone is more concerned with just getting in to gawk at the damage he's caused.

44:29: Brookfield tenant Rob calls Tanisha to ask for some carpet to repair all the damage from the BBQ he's been using. After being transferred, Rob is told that he'll have to pay for it himself, although he plans to forge their approval to fund it (it'll be our little secret). Strangely the apartment complex doesn't want to foot the bill for Rob's BBQ mishap. Told that he's not allowed to BBQ near to the building, Rob points out that the rules don't apply inside the apartment. They did send a letter about BBQ rules but Rob didn't read it (maybe he burned it on the BBQ?).

Playing the optimist, Rob reflects that at least it's cured the major flea problem that he had before - this gets him threatened with the 'pet rent', which makes him conveniently forget ever owning any pets. Finally the 'fusebox upgrade' request gets rolled out, apparently Rob needs over a Megawatt of power for some nefarious purpose which isn't disclosed. The apartment management really want to come over and visit but Rob won't be tied down - placed on hold again, Rob bails.

52:14: Michael goes for round 3 with Del Prado, this time with the maintenance guy who's just really laid back and seems OK with Michael's duct tape fix for the water leak. Michael's now found stock certificates under the floor which he's trying to dry out, but management don't care and just want to barge in on him.

57:58: Rent-A-Hoe girl Shelley doesn't see the funny in Roy's request to rent a hoe with a big butt for a couple of hours. Apparently garden tools don't come in that style. Perplexed that he's got the wrong company, Roy calls back from a local Wal-Mart to tell them a thing about customer service. Roy ponders whether Shelley is a standard hoe or a madam hoe, calls back to ask 'my house or hers', gets called a jerk-off. Rent-A-Hoe never get funny phone calls apparently.
