This is an IHeart podcast.

Coming up at the top of the hour, right about four minutes after, it's my strawberry letter for today.

And the subject is, what's the rush?

We'll get into that in a bit.

But right now, it is time for the nephew with today's prank phone call.

What you got for us, Neff?

I think we're going to turn somebody's lights off today, Shirley. That's what we're going to do. Today is about to turn your lights off. About to turn your lights off. Let's go, Cat, Doc. Hello? Hello, I'm trying to find Gerard, please. Get us, is now. Hey, Gerard, how you doing? This is Mason, man.

I'm the guy that turns the lights on and off if you haven't paid your bill. And I'm over here at your house. I'm actually getting ready to turn the lights off, but I'm trying to, it's a courtesy card we're supposed to give. people can pay their bill before we turn them off, then we collect and we keep moving.

You say, who are you again?

I'm Mason.

Exactly. So you say you've got to do what? I'm getting ready to turn the lights off because the bill hasn't been paid. I'm getting ready to turn the power off. Are you here at the house? No, I'm at work. Okay. Well, listen, is there anyone at the house that can make a payment?

Make a payment. The payment right now that I have is $221.36. Is that right? For what? The electric? For the electric bill? Yes, sir. No, sir. No, sir. There's nobody at the house, and I don't think I owe that much. Well, that's what I have right now. It's $221.36. Now, see, see, my wife, she already painted that, see.

Okay, well, they don't have a record of that. I'm in your driveway right now. I'm getting ready to turn this thing off until a payment has been made. Well, see, there's certainly nobody home right now. Okay, well, if no one is here, then I have to follow through and continue and go ahead and turn the power off until everything is rectified. Oh, ho, ho. You in my driveway? I'm in your driveway. So is there anyone here? How far are you from here? I'm at work. I can't get off right now, but you got to get out my driveway. No, no, sir. I'm not going to be able to leave your driveway until I actually turn the power off. Can't turn my power off. I got food in the refrigerator. My kid got fish that, you know, come on, man. Well, what do you mean you got fish? What does that mean? I can be there 30 minutes to give you the cash right now. Sir, what do you mean when you say you got fish? Fish, fish tank. Oh, a fish tank. You have a fish tank? Okay, well, sir, I understand that.

Sure. You have fish? Fish, fish tank. Oh, a fish tank. You have a fish tank? Okay, well, sir, I understand that. But, uh... Sir, listen, I'll be there in 30 minutes. You stay right there. Don't touch nothing, okay? So I can't, I can't be here 30 minutes. I can't wait that long. 30 minutes I'll be there with cash, and I'll pay you, with it, 200, what? We don't accept cash, sir. We're going to need a money on. I'll have time to go.

I'll be there with cash and I'll pay you with a 200 what? We don't, we don't accept cash, sir.

We're going to need a money order. I'll have time to go to you.

I'll be there with the cash, 30 minutes. I can't take cash. Are you listening to me, sir? Are you listening to me? I'm listening to you. I can't take cash. I need a money order. I'll be there 30 minutes, okay? Sir, I have to cut, I have to turn your power off if you're not here.

I give everybody 10 minutes, 10? Sir, I have to cut, I have to turn your power off if you're not here.

I give everybody 10 minutes, 10 minutes where they can pay it or we can actually turn it off. Now, you tell me what you want me to do. I'm going to call my wife real quick, all right? Real quick. So I don't have time to call you. I don't have time for that. First of all, sir, I'll get me up. I said, my wife don't mess up bills, okay?

First of all, okay?

Okay, if she doesn't mess up bills, then what the hell is going on? I don't know. I'm going to call her real quick, we don't get this straight, okay? Okay, well, sir, I don't have a real quick tie. What we have to do right now is I have to do this. I have to either turn your power off, you get it turned on. Now, listen, I can come back and turn this thing right back on next week.

It'll be a $150 penalty.
