WEBVTT - Awkward Tuesday: I Quit For You

0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:02.280
<v Speaker 1>Tuesday's your new favorite day of the week. I love that.

0:00:03.120 --> 0:00:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Welcome Awkward Tuesday.

0:00:06.559 --> 0:00:10.000
<v Speaker 3>Welcome to the Brooke and Jeffrey of course Second Date podcast.

0:00:10.039 --> 0:00:12.120
<v Speaker 3>But today is always a little special with our Awkward

0:00:12.119 --> 0:00:15.040
<v Speaker 3>Tuesday phone call. And all I'll say is one of

0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:20.000
<v Speaker 3>our listeners dabbled in workplace romance and I'm definitely backfired.

0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:22.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, backfired.

0:00:22.360 --> 0:00:22.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:25.760
<v Speaker 3>So hey, thank you for all the comments on last

0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:27.000
<v Speaker 3>week's Awkward Tuesday.

0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:28.960
<v Speaker 1>We've got so many. Yeah, you guys love it and

0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:29.880
<v Speaker 1>it makes me so happy.

0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:30.520
<v Speaker 5>Yes.

0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:33.440
<v Speaker 3>Sarah Herbie wrote, Oh my god, thanks for posting this

0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:35.319
<v Speaker 3>so fast. I heard the first half of my way

0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:37.200
<v Speaker 3>to work yesterday and was excited to hear the rest

0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:39.600
<v Speaker 3>of it, which I always forget that a lot of

0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:42.320
<v Speaker 3>podcast listeners listen to part of us on the radio

0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:45.000
<v Speaker 3>on their commune.

0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:46.960
<v Speaker 6>Yeah great.

0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:51.160
<v Speaker 3>Matt Bright just simply said that was absolutely brutal, which

0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:52.279
<v Speaker 3>I think is a compliment.

0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:52.680
<v Speaker 5>I think that.

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 6>Describes a lot of all we have, brutal.

0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:57.880
<v Speaker 1>So always keep your comments coming.

0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:00.480
<v Speaker 3>We love it, whether that's on the podcast as or

0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:03.200
<v Speaker 3>on our socials at Brook and Jeffrey. And don't forget

0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:06.200
<v Speaker 3>to order your limited edition Second Date Update merch for

0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:08.399
<v Speaker 3>a cause. But you can get it now. The link

0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:10.920
<v Speaker 3>is in the show notes. And let's get this awkward started.

0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 6>It's awkward.

0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:15.040
<v Speaker 5>It's Tuesday.

0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:20.560
<v Speaker 7>It's awkward Tuesday phone call. For years, I would always

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.520
<v Speaker 7>get the best office gossip from the head of our

0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:27.920
<v Speaker 7>HR department. She would tell me all of the dirt

0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:29.560
<v Speaker 7>about everybody here.

0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:31.720
<v Speaker 6>I know exactly what you're talking about. I'm not sure

0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:32.720
<v Speaker 6>why they let her go.

0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Wait, she get you dirt.

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:37.280
<v Speaker 6>Oh, she's give me dirt.

0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:41.160
<v Speaker 3>Took about best, but apparently she was talking about.

0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:47.600
<v Speaker 7>Me to Oh, I know some stuff about you. But look,

0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 7>certain work issues are too awkward to bring to HR.

0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 7>Then you got to take the elevator all the way

0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 7>down to the basement of morality and be honest.

0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.760
<v Speaker 1>HR is only there to protect the company, not protecting.

0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:01.600
<v Speaker 6>And we're I'm able to protect anybody.

0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:04.440
<v Speaker 7>That's why you can always tell us whatever's going on

0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:06.680
<v Speaker 7>in your life, which is why our listener Dave has

0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:10.160
<v Speaker 7>reached out with a work problem too scandalous for H.

0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 6>Dave, welcome to the show.

0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 8>Thank you guys.

0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:17.560
<v Speaker 3>Are you second guessing your decision after that intro?

0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:22.480
<v Speaker 4>Well, I have a really awkward situation and I really

0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 4>didn't want to do it on the radio, but I

0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:27.480
<v Speaker 4>don't know what else to do.

0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:28.760
<v Speaker 8>Here.

0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:29.080
<v Speaker 6>We go.

0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:31.160
<v Speaker 7>Whatever dirt that you want to share, we promise we

0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:32.399
<v Speaker 7>won't share it with anybody else.

0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:34.639
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, I'm telling everybody, But I don't know where

0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:35.800
<v Speaker 3>your office is, so it's fine.

0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:38.359
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, okay, Well what's going on?

0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:40.080
<v Speaker 8>So? Uh?

0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:43.440
<v Speaker 4>Not too long ago, I was at a company and

0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:47.040
<v Speaker 4>I ended up having a fling with one of my

0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:48.760
<v Speaker 4>younger coworkers.

0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Co workers, is key. It wasn't like somebody you were the.

0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:54.440
<v Speaker 4>Boss that I was her boss.

0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:59.840
<v Speaker 1>That's important detail. It's like a power dynamic you can't do,

0:02:59.919 --> 0:03:00.239
<v Speaker 1>you know.

0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:02.839
<v Speaker 7>That's exactly what Brooke tried to do with me when

0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:05.040
<v Speaker 7>I first started working here on the show as a

0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:06.000
<v Speaker 7>promotions kid.

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:08.160
<v Speaker 3>I never tried to hook up with you, and I

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:10.240
<v Speaker 3>still she just did have zero injury.

0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:15.720
<v Speaker 7>Remember HR told me everything I told you you were

0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:21.520
<v Speaker 7>taking advantage of. So anyway, that's an awkward situation for

0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.160
<v Speaker 7>you to be in Dave with one of your subordinates.

0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:25.359
<v Speaker 1>But you did it to yourself.

0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.440
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, and unlike Brooke, she liked me.

0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, okay, listen, buddy. Just because she liked it, you

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:38.560
<v Speaker 1>still can't do it. You're the boss, I know, so, yes.

0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.240
<v Speaker 4>So we were keeping everything on the d L, keeping

0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:44.120
<v Speaker 4>everything on the down low because, like you guys are saying,

0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 4>we could both get in trouble.

0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:47.880
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, okay, But then we got to.

0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:50.960
<v Speaker 4>The point where we wanted to bring it out into

0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:53.720
<v Speaker 4>the public, let everybody know, and stop sneaking around.

0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:56.400
<v Speaker 8>I felt that way. She felt that way.

0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:58.440
<v Speaker 2>Wait, so you were both on the same page about this.

0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:04.320
<v Speaker 4>Yes, okay, but we felt like if we did that,

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:08.240
<v Speaker 4>our coworkers would be really weirded out by it, especially

0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:10.040
<v Speaker 4>if they find out how long it was going on

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:16.440
<v Speaker 4>before we told them. And so we were talking. She

0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:19.120
<v Speaker 4>gave me this idea. It's like, if we didn't work together,

0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:19.880
<v Speaker 4>we would.

0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:20.359
<v Speaker 8>Have a problem.

0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I mean that's true.

0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:24.359
<v Speaker 8>So I thought, yeah, she's right.

0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:26.359
<v Speaker 4>And I thought, Okay, what I'm going to do is

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.320
<v Speaker 4>I have more job experience. I could get a job

0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:31.480
<v Speaker 4>more easily than she could.

0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:35.800
<v Speaker 8>So I put in my notice and.

0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Should have inspired her.

0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:39.359
<v Speaker 3>You guys, he should have gotten another job before you

0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:40.120
<v Speaker 3>put in your notice.

0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:40.719
<v Speaker 6>Anybody.

0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:45.479
<v Speaker 4>I was able to get another job less money, but

0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:50.320
<v Speaker 4>I did get another job for it. Well, so this

0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:52.479
<v Speaker 4>is the part where it might not have been worth it,

0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:58.640
<v Speaker 4>because ever since I quit, the relationships gone kind of cold.

0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:03.760
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it was really hot and heavy for the

0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:07.440
<v Speaker 4>first month, but now it seems like she's distancing herself

0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:07.839
<v Speaker 4>from me.

0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:11.760
<v Speaker 3>Wait, how long were you dating before you quit your job?

0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:12.880
<v Speaker 8>A month?

0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:13.920
<v Speaker 1>That's wow?

0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:19.919
<v Speaker 7>You could it be that forbidden fruit thing where it's like,

0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:22.599
<v Speaker 7>since you're doing it and sneaking around, it's kind of

0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:24.920
<v Speaker 7>fun and exciting, but now that it's out in the open,

0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 7>it's lost its luster.

0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:29.640
<v Speaker 4>I have no idea because she won't respond to my text,

0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:33.720
<v Speaker 4>she won't respond to my call, no explanation, and meanwhile,

0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:36.680
<v Speaker 4>I'm over here, like what the hell I went and

0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:39.560
<v Speaker 4>quit my job for you, and now I'm out.

0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:42.400
<v Speaker 3>I hate to say it, but it sounds kind of

0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:43.800
<v Speaker 3>like she broke up with you.

0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, she just I mean a couple of months. I

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:49.040
<v Speaker 1>feel like that's the point where you know, if you're

0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:52.120
<v Speaker 1>into someone orn and she probably feels bad. It's not

0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:53.839
<v Speaker 1>like she wanted you to quit your job.

0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:56.880
<v Speaker 4>But the thing was, she was all for it when

0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:58.440
<v Speaker 4>I said I was going to do it, I know,

0:05:58.720 --> 0:05:59.279
<v Speaker 4>but like.

0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:01.560
<v Speaker 3>That's a lot of pressure on her for you to

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.400
<v Speaker 3>bring it up. If she wasn't really sure on the relationship,

0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:05.040
<v Speaker 3>you know, like.

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:08.960
<v Speaker 4>Well that was to quote Adam Sandler, that's information I

0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:10.760
<v Speaker 4>needed to know yesterday.

0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:15.200
<v Speaker 3>Okay, maybe it's Adam Sale.

0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:17.919
<v Speaker 6>I see, you're just looking for an explanation.

0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:19.280
<v Speaker 8>You want to know what's going on.

0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:20.960
<v Speaker 6>Okay, that's fair.

0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:22.920
<v Speaker 7>And it says in your email here that you're only

0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:27.240
<v Speaker 7>forty six years older than her, so hopefully that's.

0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:27.120
<v Speaker 6>What I'm just kidding.

0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:27.680
<v Speaker 8>I'm just.

0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:33.840
<v Speaker 6>You, guys, it's not like that. It's like they hooked up.

0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:36.920
<v Speaker 4>No, I don't have dementia.

0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:38.880
<v Speaker 8>I know what's going on now.

0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:39.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm worried.

0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:42.719
<v Speaker 1>Is there a huge age gap between you two twelve years?

0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:44.600
<v Speaker 8>She's twelve years younger than I'm crazy.

0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:46.960
<v Speaker 6>That's not crazy A lot worse.

0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:50.000
<v Speaker 7>It is crazy that she agreed to like tell him, hey,

0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:51.919
<v Speaker 7>go quit your job and we can be together, and

0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:53.360
<v Speaker 7>then a month later she's out.

0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:55.080
<v Speaker 1>Crazy that after a month he's like, I'm gonna quit

0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:57.280
<v Speaker 1>my job. You like, what is she supposed to say?

0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:58.920
<v Speaker 1>I would feel backed into a corner.

0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.560
<v Speaker 6>We weren't there, Brooke. I don't know if she reacted like.

0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:03.679
<v Speaker 1>That, only that would just be my reaction.

0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:08.000
<v Speaker 7>Yes, let's come back, We're gonna let Dave call his

0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 7>ex U.

0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:11.200
<v Speaker 1>We don't know for sure.

0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:17.760
<v Speaker 7>I was gonna say his ex coworker, And we'll see

0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:20.080
<v Speaker 7>if she picks up and has an explanation for him

0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:23.720
<v Speaker 7>for why she told him, go ahead, quit your job

0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:25.120
<v Speaker 7>and then ghost it again.

0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:27.440
<v Speaker 1>Not on her, put on her.

0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:28.720
<v Speaker 6>The facts are she's ghosting.

0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:29.480
<v Speaker 1>That's true.

0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:30.920
<v Speaker 6>So let's see if she has.

0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:32.880
<v Speaker 7>Anything to say about it when we come back and

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:38.560
<v Speaker 7>do your awkward Tuesday phone call right after this. It's awkward.

0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:43.840
<v Speaker 7>It's awkward Tuesday phone call. We always ask the question,

0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:46.280
<v Speaker 7>what are you willing to do for true love?

0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:46.640
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:49.840
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, well, our listener Dave was willing to quit his

0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:53.880
<v Speaker 7>job for it. Literally, he was dating one of his

0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:57.320
<v Speaker 7>younger subordinates in secret until they both agreed. If we

0:07:57.360 --> 0:07:59.560
<v Speaker 7>want to keep this thing going and go public with it,

0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.840
<v Speaker 7>the best bet is for Dave to leave the company

0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:04.720
<v Speaker 7>and get himself a new job.

0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:07.240
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, yeah, cuts out all the awkwardness.

0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:09.880
<v Speaker 2>It's funny, how normal you read that? But yeah, someone

0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:11.840
<v Speaker 2>literally quit his career.

0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:13.600
<v Speaker 5>Would be that crazy if it wasn't after a month

0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:14.160
<v Speaker 5>of talking.

0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:16.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that is the crazy. It wouldn't be crazy if

0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:16.960
<v Speaker 1>he was dating a year.

0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:18.320
<v Speaker 6>They say, what you know you know.

0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:21.320
<v Speaker 7>But the weird part is a month after he quit,

0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:26.360
<v Speaker 7>she suddenly ghosted completely with no response, no explanation for

0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:29.960
<v Speaker 7>where she's gone. So understandably, Dave is feeling confused and

0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.160
<v Speaker 7>a little left out in the lurch, which is why

0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:33.720
<v Speaker 7>he wants our help to call her.

0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:34.040
<v Speaker 4>Now.

0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:36.280
<v Speaker 7>We need to give him some advice, Jose, what do

0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:39.280
<v Speaker 7>you think Dave needs to keep in mind saying goodbye?

0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh, like you're gonna be the one that is okay

0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:43.040
<v Speaker 1>with the breakup.

0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:44.960
<v Speaker 2>You tell her you haven't talked to me for months,

0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:47.679
<v Speaker 2>and I hate the feeling like I'm talking to myself

0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:51.360
<v Speaker 2>or I'm bugging somebody. So you just say goodbye, thank

0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:53.920
<v Speaker 2>you for the wonderful memories. I can take a hint

0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:55.240
<v Speaker 2>and I wish you the best.

0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:57.080
<v Speaker 1>Are you just saying this from personal experience that they

0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:57.760
<v Speaker 1>all come crawling?

0:08:57.880 --> 0:08:59.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you say.

0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:06.480
<v Speaker 7>A minute, take back the power by saying goodbye first.

0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.959
<v Speaker 4>Well, I don't want to say goodbye without knowing what happened.

0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:13.920
<v Speaker 7>Okay, it's very risky because he does want an explanation.

0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:16.000
<v Speaker 6>So maybe Brooke, you have some advice on that front.

0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:18.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, closure is always hard to come by, Dave.

0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:21.280
<v Speaker 3>I really think that no matter what you do to

0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:24.040
<v Speaker 3>get someone to open up, you need to go in

0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:25.400
<v Speaker 3>with compliments.

0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:28.120
<v Speaker 1>You need to say how you felt.

0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:30.240
<v Speaker 3>About her and what a great time you had together,

0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:36.240
<v Speaker 3>not that, and then maybe just say you know, I

0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:37.959
<v Speaker 3>was hoping for more time with you. Is there something

0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:42.080
<v Speaker 3>I can do to make things better?

0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:44.320
<v Speaker 6>I think Brooke is wanting a compliment from you, Da.

0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:48.040
<v Speaker 7>Can you just practice on her first?

0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:52.920
<v Speaker 8>You have a lovely voice, brook Wow, almost believed it.

0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:56.360
<v Speaker 6>So use some compliments to soften her up.

0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:59.880
<v Speaker 7>A little bit and say goodbye before she can say goodbye.

0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:01.200
<v Speaker 6>Take back the power.

0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:04.160
<v Speaker 2>You're really pretty by.

0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:08.160
<v Speaker 7>Hopefully that helps. But I'm gonna dial your ex co worker.

0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:12.160
<v Speaker 7>What's her name, by the way, Nicole? Okay, all right,

0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:15.240
<v Speaker 7>me write that down, Nicole. I'm dialing Nicole's number and

0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:17.560
<v Speaker 7>we will step away. Let you make your awkward Tuesday

0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:18.000
<v Speaker 7>phone call.

<v Speaker 4>I wish you were I wish you were a little

0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:47.320
<v Speaker 4>more excited to hear from me because I haven't heard

0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:48.000
<v Speaker 4>from you in a while.

0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:52.920
<v Speaker 8>You know, I missed talking to you. I miss hearing

0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:53.720
<v Speaker 8>your lovely voice.

0:10:55.800 --> 0:11:01.120
<v Speaker 5>Okay, Hi, how are you doing.

0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:02.720
<v Speaker 4>Well?

0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:05.280
<v Speaker 8>How funny you should ask.

0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:08.760
<v Speaker 4>That's why I'm calling to see how we're doing, because

0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:11.360
<v Speaker 4>you haven't answered my calls, you haven't answered my texts,

0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:15.600
<v Speaker 4>and I literally quit my job so we could be together.

0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:20.200
<v Speaker 4>So I just I just want to know what's going on.

0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:25.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I know, And thank you so much for doing that.

0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:29.040
<v Speaker 5>By the way, that was really sweet, and I promise

0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:29.960
<v Speaker 5>I'll never forget that.

0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:34.280
<v Speaker 4>Well, I mean I did it because you are the

0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:38.040
<v Speaker 4>fantastic person, and I think we were fantastic together.

0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:39.640
<v Speaker 8>I've never I've.

0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:45.320
<v Speaker 4>Never been with somebody's as beautiful and smart as you are. Well,

0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:47.520
<v Speaker 4>thank you so much for Okay, I mean, you know,

0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:50.320
<v Speaker 4>if you're if you're too uncomfortable Lewis on the phone,

0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:52.679
<v Speaker 4>I can come into the office, we can sit down,

0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:53.640
<v Speaker 4>we can talk in person.

0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:54.320
<v Speaker 8>You know.

0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:58.839
<v Speaker 5>Now, I wouldn't do that, and I don't think the

0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:02.679
<v Speaker 5>supervisor was like so, I feel like, what the west?

0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:05.040
<v Speaker 8>What do you mean the supervisor won't let me?

0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:07.360
<v Speaker 4>I mean I was pretty real wife at that place.

0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:12.520
<v Speaker 5>I think there have been some changes in staff here

0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:16.160
<v Speaker 5>and that would be very awkward and uncomfortable.

0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:17.200
<v Speaker 8>What kind of.

0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:21.280
<v Speaker 4>What kind of changes are you talking about?

0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:24.200
<v Speaker 8>You'll be a league here? What's going on over there?

0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:28.760
<v Speaker 5>Okay, well I didn't know how to tell you this,

0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:33.280
<v Speaker 5>but after you quit, they came to me and they

0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:36.679
<v Speaker 5>offered me a promotion and it's to your job.

0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:43.640
<v Speaker 8>Oh well, we wait, what you took my old job?

0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:46.720
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I make a lot more money now.

0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:50.480
<v Speaker 4>And yeah, I'm sure you would because I know how

0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:52.600
<v Speaker 4>much I made and I know how much you made.

0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:56.560
<v Speaker 5>I mean, so it was a bit hard for me

0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:58.920
<v Speaker 5>to say no, and you weren't there.

0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:02.360
<v Speaker 4>So I I of course I wasn't there. We agreed

0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:02.840
<v Speaker 4>that I quit.

0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:07.040
<v Speaker 6>Thank god?

0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.360
<v Speaker 5>Who is this? What's going on? I'm not understand what's

0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:12.000
<v Speaker 5>going on right now.

0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:14.200
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of like a conference call.

0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:17.800
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, with a conference call with a whole morning show

0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:19.400
<v Speaker 7>called Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.

0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:23.120
<v Speaker 5>I'm I'm feeling a bit ambushed for you.

0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:26.480
<v Speaker 6>You don't need to, by the way, congrats on your promotion. Yeah,

0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:27.720
<v Speaker 6>that's good news, But.

0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:29.160
<v Speaker 8>I don't congratulate her.

0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:30.440
<v Speaker 4>I'm taking my job.

0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:32.040
<v Speaker 6>Well, why did you.

0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:32.839
<v Speaker 1>Plan on this?

0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:34.680
<v Speaker 8>Is this why you got me to quit so you

0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:35.480
<v Speaker 8>could have my job?

0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:40.240
<v Speaker 5>No, I'm sorry, I am just so shocked. I didn't

0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:41.360
<v Speaker 5>know that this was going to happen.

0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:42.360
<v Speaker 1>No, totally.

0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:45.520
<v Speaker 5>It was a great opportunity to pass it up, and

0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:50.120
<v Speaker 5>you decided to quit and I took it.

0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:52.480
<v Speaker 4>But you were the one who told me to leave.

0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:55.440
<v Speaker 8>You said it would be better for both of us

0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:56.280
<v Speaker 8>if I did that.

0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:58.400
<v Speaker 1>It was it was better for her.

0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:02.439
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, he brought that up to me. I never went

0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:03.960
<v Speaker 5>to him and said you should quit your job.

0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:08.400
<v Speaker 4>Oh no, no, no, no, you brought that up.

0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:10.239
<v Speaker 8>To me and I agreed.

0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:12.960
<v Speaker 5>No, I told you that I was just as shocked

0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:14.880
<v Speaker 5>as you. They came to me. I did not go

0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:15.719
<v Speaker 5>to them and ask for you.

0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:18.120
<v Speaker 4>Really, I'm going to take you to word now what.

0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:20.800
<v Speaker 1>She didn't lie him about. It doesn't sound like she

0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:21.960
<v Speaker 1>lied to you about anything.

0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:23.640
<v Speaker 8>No, that she shocked.

0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:26.480
<v Speaker 4>I find it hard to believe that she's shocked, you.

0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:29.200
<v Speaker 5>Know, Dave, I really don't want to be rude, but

0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:32.280
<v Speaker 5>everyone at work really likes me more than you. I

0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:37.640
<v Speaker 5>reinstated fun Fridays. You took that away, and everyone's really

0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:39.680
<v Speaker 5>happy with the job that I'm doing right now, So

0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:41.840
<v Speaker 5>I don't need you to yell at me, and especially

0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:45.520
<v Speaker 5>on a radio show. I'm sorry that that happened. But

0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:49.640
<v Speaker 5>from my perspective, you decided to quit and they came

0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:49.960
<v Speaker 5>to me.

0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:52.080
<v Speaker 8>Okay, wow, I.

0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:54.080
<v Speaker 3>Mean it does kind of sound like you you made

0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:55.440
<v Speaker 3>your own grave there, Dave.

0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:57.080
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, and she dug it for me?

0:14:57.480 --> 0:14:57.880
<v Speaker 1>Did she.

0:14:59.320 --> 0:14:59.960
<v Speaker 5>Did?

0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.280
<v Speaker 1>There was no job before you left. It's not like

0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:03.840
<v Speaker 1>she knew that that was going to happen.

0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:06.880
<v Speaker 6>Into the cemetery. He went to the boss and quit.

0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and he was dating someone that was you know,

0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:11.720
<v Speaker 1>you can't do that. She was getting a boss and

0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:13.000
<v Speaker 1>dates somebody below you.

0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:15.480
<v Speaker 7>Here's the question that we don't have that I think

0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:19.240
<v Speaker 7>Dave wants from Nicole, is that why did you ghost him?

0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:19.400
<v Speaker 4>Like?

0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:23.080
<v Speaker 7>Why did you break off the romantic relationship with no explanation?

0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:27.000
<v Speaker 5>So I would say the majority of the things that

0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:30.240
<v Speaker 5>we talked about had to do with work, and it

0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:32.400
<v Speaker 5>was something that I couldn't talk to him about anymore.

0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:34.880
<v Speaker 6>Work is what bonded you together.

0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:37.800
<v Speaker 7>So once that was taken away, there was nothing left

0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:39.680
<v Speaker 7>to keep the relationship going.

0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:41.880
<v Speaker 3>You don't have faith that he would have celebrated your

0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:44.760
<v Speaker 3>big job promotion to his job.

0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:47.320
<v Speaker 8>Yeah. Yeah, maybe you could have taken me out to

0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:48.840
<v Speaker 8>dinner with your big race.

0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:55.560
<v Speaker 5>It's his money, yeah, look, I feel really bad and

0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:59.680
<v Speaker 5>maybe if you're up for it, we could get together

0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:03.360
