TSPS 27: Tabachi's Gutter Spouts

**Show format: 57 minutes, Live**

**Call types: Tenant From Hell, Check-in, Lube Job**

This morning show starts with very loud audio.

3:57: Roy's a tenant on Empire Street and is having problems with the water-saving gutter toilet flush that he installed. All that rainwater has flooded him out, but even worse it's damaged the meth lab. The apartment staffer really doesn't care though and insists it's all down to Roy. We also learn that those blue toilet freshener disc things are flammable, but not before the resulting fire damaged the apartment building's roof. Whoops.

8:12: Roy's also having gutter problems in his apartment over at Healing Stone. Employee Amy just wants to pass it off onto maintenance and doesn't think much of Roy's efforts to save water. Amy's no fun and just refuses to yell at Roy, who jumps at the chance to speak to her manager. Roy's just trying to save water but the manager just sees it as damage that Roy needs to pay for.

15:50: Brad talks stickers and sticker companies.

17:47: Roy on Vernon also has a flooding problem, but maintenance is busy. Roy gives F\*%&$\*% and wants to hold to speak to them but gets plunged into the switchboard abyss.

19:36: Stuart's bodyshop are fixing the bits they didn't do last time on Shirley's car while she waits in reception, good job that manager Roy is on hand to discuss all the mishaps they're having next door in the workshop. Roy's mechanic has called dibs on the GPS tracker he found under the car, but Shirley insists it's hers and that her kids put it there so she didn't get lost in the desert. Roy also needs to confess about the fire damage from where they punctured her gas tank. Shirley's just unreasonable and wants a rental car to get to work while they fix all the damage they've caused to hers. A ride in employee Rick's El Camino (as Twitter Michelle would say, it's OK, it's silver/grey) just isn't good enough for Shirley. The call ends in a tit-for-tat over vernacular and Shirley's denial of her part in burning down their shop. As the phone gets handed back to the staff, Roy's now just an innocent friend of Shirley's but the staffer thinks otherwise and hangs up.

31:05: Brad's kitchen camera prank may make it into Canadian news. Yelp is better than Foursquare for American check-ins.

34:21: David from Snap Fitness corporate needs to talk to Marie about her soliciting in the gym but David’s ‘prostitution’ is Marie’s 'diet and exercise lecture'. Marie tries to laugh it all off but the security cameras don't lie. Marie is full of denial and says she'll speak to the staff directly.

36:15: Corporate Office Roy needs Starbucks to page a customer but the girl there is too weirded out to ask for him.

37:11: In-n-Out Burger wants to reach out to Roy about the bad experience he had recently. Roy's actually from the IT dept. and calls back to diagnose the problem that they don't yet know they have. Lady there is really skeptical about the IT dept. in the basement.

41:21: Michelle is scoffing cookies at Cuppies And Joe, Greg from corporate wants her to stop eating like a zoo animal - it looks bad on the cameras. Michelle is just tickled by Greg's plea to 'Eat like a lady'.

46:12: Ms. Castro is buying cashews at Trader Joe’s. Roy from corporate calls to ask her to stop stealing stuff, but actually just wants to hit on her. She seems amused but ultimately cock blocks Roy by not giving her number.

48:57: Roy from apartment 5B has yet more gutter flooding problems. The employee there seems to know about Roy's tricks and suggests flushing a birthday cake to cure the problem, Mr. Gerbil.
