This is an I-Heart podcast.

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

The subject's romantic comedies are ruining me.

We'll get into that a little later, but right now the nephew is here with today's prank phone call.

What you got for is Neff?

Shirley, today's title is called Lashing Out.

Lashing Out.

Let's go, Catow.

Hey, it's Lashing Out.

How can we lash you out?

I'm trying to reach Bianca.

This is Bianca.

Hey, listen, my name is Brian. My wife, Jamie, come up there and get her eyelashes done. Who's the owner of this place? I am, Brian. What's going on? Okay. You're Bianca. You're the one that own the place? I'm Bianca. I'm the owner. We opened about a year and a half ago. Proud, happy, black-owned, women-owned establishment. What can I do for you? Okay, here's a deal. I'm sick and tired of my wife coming up there, and then when she get back home, she got these thick-ass eyelashes on, and long as hell you know i mean it's these

eyelashes thick it on somebody's mustache just a damn shame you know now i didn't told her to take

these brian hold up hold up brian now i may or may not be the person doing it but whoever i'm

pretty sure probably that sounds familiar but whoever we have a lot of customers, but whoever comes in here, they pick their lashes. We, you know, we collaborate, but the girls are saying what they want done. They pick it. So if they're thick, they're thick because they want them thick. Okay, well, these are too, they're too thick and they too long. Your eyelashes ain't supposed to be sticking the way out past your nose. That's a damn shame. But let me tell you what I'm getting at, though. Here's my reason for calling. If my wife come home one more time, say what? Brian, can you simmer down? Because, I mean, I'm running a business here, and you sound crazy They can hear you through the phone. The girl, they're looking at me in the chair. I don't know what's going on. I don't know. Can you calm down? You loud and screaming. All I'm saying is, if my wife come home with these long, thick-ass eyelashes again, I'm going to come up there and raise holy hell at that damn place. I'm telling you the truth about that. You're not, what are you talking about? Why are you threatening me? You are not coming up here. I'm coming up there if my wife come home with them thick-ass-long eyelashes again. I am. No, you're not coming up here. We just opened a year and a half ago. We are doing good.

We don't need no drama for nobody. You need to talk to your wife, fix your marriage. Don't come out here. There ain't nothing wrong with my marriage. The only thing wrong with my marriage is these damn thick and eyelashes and they're too long. Why are you calling me with this? See, now I'm yelling at my God. I'm calling because this is where she got her eyelashes done.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Then you need to talk to your wife. Okay, I need to calm down. I'm running a business here. What you're trying to do, sabotage me? What you work for the conversation? I ain't trying to sabotage, no, but I tell you what? if she come home with these long, thick and ass again, I'm going to come up there, and I'm going to find all the violations of the codes and everything, building codes, and I will get you shut down if we don't stop these long, thick and ass.

Okay, Brian, I'm from the south side, so, motherfucker, you need to back up, because now you're threatening my livelihood. Yes, I'm going to to back up because now you're threatening my livelihood.

Yes, I'm going to go there with you. You threatening my livelihood. You threatening the

jobs of so many girls here. What are you doing? You need to talk to your wife and you need to back

the fuck up. And I am sorry to curse. We try to speak class here, but now you're making me lash out at from lash out.
