Audio from The Black Academy of Arts and Letters. The audio is of a prank call made from the Ricky Smiley radio show to a woman who is having plumbing problems with her dish washer, washing machine and toilet inside of her apartment. The caller pretends to be someone from the leasing office who is refusing her request. The woman is heard getting increasingly more upset about the situation and disconnects the call multiple times. On the last call back, the caller reveals his identity and asks if the woman is "OK."
