1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: Hey, we're slowly making Tuesday your favorite day of the week.

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 2: One week at a time.

3
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: Hey, you found the Second Date Update podcast. Thank you

4
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: for being here at Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.

5
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,120
Speaker 1: But today is always your awkward Tuesday phone call.

6
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 3: Yes, and you guys love it.

7
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:14,239
Speaker 2: I think I know.

8
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: I mean the stats say yes because it's always one

9
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: of the most downloaded of the week. So that is awesome.

10
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for being here. It is unlike

11
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: any we've ever done before. I will say that, yeah,

12
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: it really is different, different than possibly illegal. But we

13
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: need to get to some listener comments first.

14
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 4: Okay, someone from Diego vela seven seven nine, who said, Hey,

15
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 4: I've been listening to the show every day since i

16
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 4: found the YouTube channel. I would love to get a

17
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 4: shout out from Jose doing the Veto impression. Please, it's

18
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 4: my favorite. Greetings from Mexico.

19
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 3: Hey, wait a minute, what was this guy's name? Tell

00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 3: me what was the name again?

21
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 2: Diego?

22
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,279
Speaker 3: One of the stupid numbers behind his name you.

23
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 2: Seven zero seven nine.

24
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 3: Seven zero seven nine. My favorite is a seven zero eight.

25
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 5: Oh, let's get you some pasta get back into the post,

26
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 5: and it's starting right.

27
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 2: Now with your awkward Tuesday phone call.

28
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 3: How far would you go to help out a friend?

29
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 2: Oh?

30
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 3: Well, I think it depends. Would you steal for them?

31
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 2: Yeah?

32
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 3: Would you lie for them?

33
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 6: Yeah?

34
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: I don't know yet.

35
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 3: Would you cheat with their significant other and capture it

36
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 3: on a secret camera to go back and show them

37
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 3: I told you he is no good?

38
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 2: Oh?

39
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 3: Seven times that night?

40
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 2: He did it out of a good place.

41
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 3: Yes?

42
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 2: Why did you keep seven times?

43
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 7: Yes?

44
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 3: Just to prove how bad? Hey, well, one of our

45
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 3: listeners says she has to do one of those things

46
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,639
Speaker 3: because she is in a tough spot.

47
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 2: How sat the husband one her friend.

48
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 3: Has requested that she tell maybe the biggest lie of

49
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 3: her entire life, and if she doesn't do it right,

50
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 3: it could come back and ruin her friend's career. Oh

51
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 3: so you'll hear why she needs to do this with

52
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 3: our help in your brand new awkward Tuesday phone call

53
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 3: right after this, It's awkward. It's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday

54
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 3: phone call. It's an unfortunate fact that people lie all

55
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 3: the time.

56
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: No, they don't.

57
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 3: I see what she did there. Yeah, that was a

58
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 3: lie that wasn't true. So some lies are really bad,

59
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 3: but some are kind of harmless.

60
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, some are necessary to be honest.

61
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, depending on the situation necessary.

62
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,839
Speaker 3: But for example, where would this one rank. I'll say

63
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 3: the statement. You tell me how bad it is? Okay,

64
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 3: Brooke tells her family and friends she went to an

65
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 3: accredited college.

66
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 7: I did.

67
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, keep the story going, selling it. I wouldn't change

68
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 3: it if I was you either. You're in way too

69
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 3: deep now.

70
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 8: But I think she was just like a hillbilly in

71
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 8: Montana for three years and just told everyone she was

72
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 8: out of.

73
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 3: College pretty much. I understand why she twists the truth

74
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 3: a little bit. But even Brooks web of deceit isn't

75
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 3: as bad as the one. Our listener, Lorie, finds herself

76
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 3: caught in today.

77
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 2: Bad where's your degree from?

78
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: Laurie?

79
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 3: Laurie, Welcome to the show.

80
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 9: Hi, thank you?

81
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 2: H Are you feeling bad?

82
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 4: Yeah?

83
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 9: I mean my friend put me in a really awkward position.

84
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 3: Who lied in this situation? You were your friend?

85
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 9: My friend lied in this situation?

86
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: Oh, and then expected you to cover maybe why what happened? Yeah?

87
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 9: So she put me down as a reference on her

88
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 9: job resume without telling me.

89
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 3: Oh oh god, oh.

90
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: No, I mean if she would have asked, what would

91
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: you have said? I mean, you'd have to lie. That's

92
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: one of those necessary lies you'd have to say.

93
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: Okay, but you Yeah.

94
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 8: Like if I just got a random call right now

95
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 8: and it was like Brooke Fox is applying you, I

96
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 8: would cover for you. I totally would like you just

97
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 8: like got you just tell.

98
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 2: Your friends if you put him Ada.

99
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 3: You would totally put Jose down on your resume.

100
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, like, ma'am, is he responsible?

101
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 3: Totally don't lie, broke, don't lie.

102
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: I would definitely use Jose as my reference.

103
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 8: Oh man, never get a job with Brooke as a friend.

104
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 3: So, Laurie, your friend didn't warn you that she was

105
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 3: doing this.

106
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 9: No, So I didn't really know anything about it. But

107
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 9: I did get a random voice NOIL yesterday.

108
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 2: Okay, that's good. Yeah, so went to voice Will.

109
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 9: Yeah, but it was like some guy at a company.

110
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 9: He said, if he wants to talk to me about

111
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 9: my friend, he wants to ask me a few questions.

112
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 9: So like, again, like I didn't know about this. So

113
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 9: I reached out to my friend and I'm like, what

114
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 9: the heck, Like what did you do?

115
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 3: Yeah?

116
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 9: And she was really sorry, like she didn't realize they

117
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 9: would actually call the references, I guess or she would

118
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 9: have told me.

119
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 3: So, yeah, okay, I'm kind of I didn't realize that

120
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 3: people actually called the references.

121
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you.

122
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 8: Never felt like they did.

123
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 4: I definitely worked in jobs where they told me that

124
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 4: they don't.

125
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

126
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 8: I think it's more like, do you have three friends,

127
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 8: because if you don't.

128
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's pretty bad if you put down

129
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: somebody as a reference and they don't give a good referral.

130
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 3: That's why I didn't put my mom down as a referenda. Yeah,

131
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 3: it's too risky. So do you know did your friend

132
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 3: put you down as like a past employer, like a

133
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 3: professional reference.

134
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 9: Yes?

135
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, not as a friend, not as a friend.

136
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 2: Did you actually okay, did you work with her?

137
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 8: No?

138
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 9: She absolutely lied about it.

139
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 3: Oh god, that's a lie.

140
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 6: I don't why you guys?

141
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 2: Are I thought everyone does this?

142
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 5: Yeah?

143
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 3: I think I check my references for this job.

144
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 2: It was probably my friend. If someone called.

145
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: Your friends, you would have been outed in five seconds.

146
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 3: And I feel like it might be a generational thing

147
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 3: where everyone in Alexis's generation doesn't really like know about

148
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 3: that or how it works.

149
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 2: Resumes.

150
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:08,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, the falls thunders, Yeah, all falls under the same category.

151
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 3: So now Laurie. It sounds like you're in kind of

152
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 3: a tough position, like what are you what are you

153
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 3: wanting to do?

154
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: Well?

155
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 9: I don't know. Like I call my friend. She's kind

156
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 9: of begging me to call this boss person back and

157
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 9: just like answer the questions and say nice things about her.

158
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 9: But like I'm over here, like are you crazy? Because Okay,

159
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 9: here's the worst part in the reference. It says that

160
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 9: I'm a fluent French speaker.

161
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 2: Why why would it say that?

162
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 9: Because it's like an international brand manager job in branding,

163
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 9: So I don't speak friends, I don't want to speak it.

164
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 9: I mean, I don't really know what I was to say,

165
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 9: Like do I just call this boss person and do it?

166
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 9: Like I need help?

167
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 8: Wait, you you do want to call the boss? I

168
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 8: thought you're calling your friend here.

169
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 4: You can't change your reference if she wants to job God,

170
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 4: So you're the boss has reached out like asking to

171
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 4: have this conversation.

172
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 8: So we're about to make a professional reference phone call.

173
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 2: But we're going to be on the other line, like

174
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 2: the boss will know.

175
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 9: I know you play the awkward sound effect, So I think,

176
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 9: like I'll just hang up and then you guys just

177
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 9: hit it.

178
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 3: I mean, Laurie, if the boss busts you and realizes

179
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 3: that you aren't really one of your friend's past employers,

180
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 3: and we should probably jump on to try and help

181
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 3: you and your friend.

182
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, I mean I think I need help.

183
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 3: What about you and me?

184
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 8: Quick French lesson in the next three minutes.

185
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 2: Say you don't know any friends.

186
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 3: If it makes you feel any better, Lori, we're radio

187
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 3: hosts and we barely speak English, so you'll probably be

188
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 3: able to get something passable by when we come back

189
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 3: and give you our advice. Then let you give a

190
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 3: reference to your a professional reference for your friend.

191
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: This is such a bad idea. I love it.

192
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 3: Every awkward Tuesday phone call right after this. Okay, hold on,

193
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 3: it's awkward. It's say it's awkward Tuesday phone call. We've

194
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 3: done a lot of awkward calls on this show, never

195
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 3: one like this before, though, where our listener Laurie has

196
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 3: asked us to assist in giving a professional job reference

197
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 3: for her friend, and there's a few problems with it. One,

198
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 3: Laurie has never actually worked with her friend in any

199
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 3: professional capacity before, so that's a lie. Also, the reference

200
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 3: implies that she's a fluent French speaker, which is not

201
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 3: true at all, So hopefully the call doesn't even go there.

202
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 3: But Laurie wants to know how do we help her

203
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 3: fake it to make it sound legit? And luckily Brooke

204
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 3: fakes it every couple of nights, or at least her

205
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 3: husband does. So Brook Brook, we need your fake wisdom here.

206
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 3: What does Laurie do.

207
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: If she asks you to speak French? You just tell

208
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: her you're on a French fast. You gave up the

209
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: language lent. Maybe it was attracting too many men. You

210
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: just start taking a break from French right now.

211
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 3: It's too many carbs in the French language.

212
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're just are just can't do it right now?

213
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 3: Ok?

214
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 6: Yeah?

215
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, So lock that nugget into your mind. Jose what

216
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 3: advice do you have for Laurie?

217
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 8: You need to set the expectation that you don't have

218
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 8: a lot of time here, all right, either you got

219
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 8: this whole thing's got to be quick.

220
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 2: Remember you're important.

221
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 9: You're important.

222
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 8: You got some other billion dollar corporation you're running right now.

223
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 3: You own Costco or something, right, Yeah? Because I think

224
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 3: the longer that you stay on the phone, the more

225
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 3: you open yourself up to the opportunity to be found

226
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 3: out as a fraud.

227
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 2: That's sure.

228
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, I really want to help my friend. I want

229
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 9: this to work out. Okay, So I just want to

230
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 9: get in and get out without crying or boy, Oh no.

231
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 3: Don't cry out.

232
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 2: You can't cry.

233
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 3: That's called the Brook Anniversary Special. My friend is so sweet.

234
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 9: I'm really nervous. I think we should just like a

235
00:09:58,840 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 9: hurry and just do this.

236
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 3: Okay, my job. The number is really fast and we'll

237
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 3: jump in if you feel like you need help, but

238
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 3: we won't. You've got this, okay.

239
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 6: Okay, okay, Hello.

Speaker 7: Oh yes, thank you so much for getting back to me.

00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, of course, I mean I'm happy to try and

246
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 9: help with I tell I just I don't have a

247
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 9: lot of time. I'm a very busy, busy person with

248
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 9: a lot of responsibilities.

249
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 7: Totally understand. This shouldn't take long at all.

250
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 9: Great, So what can I say? Jamie is a fantastic

251
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 9: person and a good worker, and I'd hire us.

252
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 7: Okay, I haven't asked any questions yet.

253
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 9: Oh, that's you know, I just wanted to let you know,

254
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 9: if you have specific questions, you can ask me. But

255
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 9: that's you know, she's a great hire.

256
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 7: That's great information to know. But let's just go ahead

257
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 7: and jump in and start with the first question.

258
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 9: Okay, sure, I do have a meeting that's coming up soon, so.

259
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 7: Just like if I have to jump we'll take no

260
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 7: time at all. So she was a little vague about

261
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 7: her international sales experience. It was just a little unclear.

262
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 9: Yeah. Well, in my experience, I had her doing sales

263
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 9: internationally because she was just so good at them domestically,

264
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 9: and I was like, you know, let's supersize it and

265
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 9: take it overseas. So she did it and it was

266
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 9: it was great.

267
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 7: Uh, Okay, that doesn't give me a ton of specifics.

268
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 7: This sales role. She would be interacting with people from

269
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 7: other cultures pretty frequently, and it says here on her

270
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 7: resume that she speaks French, and she mentioned that you

271
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 7: had spoken French too, pretty frequently. And so what is

272
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 7: the level of expertise would you say that she has.

273
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I know that she is she's an

274
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 9: expert fluent in French, but I do believe she said

275
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 9: that she's giving it up for lents, so she's probably

276
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 9: not gonna be able to speak it to you for

277
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 9: at least ninety days.

278
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 7: So if she if she's using French for her job,

279
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 7: she's not gonna be able to use it for ninety days.

280
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 9: I yeah, I don't. I don't want to push her.

281
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 9: I don't want to you know, I know it's a

282
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 9: it's a personal religious choice.

283
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 7: Okay.

284
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 9: Oh, and did you know that she was the one

285
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 9: in charge of sella McDonald's fries over in France.

286
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 7: Like like French fries French.

287
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,359
Speaker 9: Yeah, but but she came up with the whole advertisement

288
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 9: saying like they look like mini begets.

289
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 7: Okay, that is interesting. I've absolutely never heard of that

290
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 7: one before ever.

291
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 9: Oh you never, You've never heard of that? That's crazy.

292
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 9: I actually, well, I call her uh, Litree and Tampagente.

293
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 7: The three intelligence exactly, Yeah.

294
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 9: Because she is as smart as three people. But you know,

295
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 9: put into one body, really inspired.

296
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:26,839
Speaker 7: Okay.

297
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 9: I think, honestly, you really should just hire her. You

298
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 9: won't be sorry. She's got real main Assault energy, big

299
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 9: Assault jay.

300
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,599
Speaker 7: Uh Okay, Okay.

301
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 9: I didn't even see the time I got to run.

302
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 7: Okay, I will take that into consideration and thanks for

303
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 7: taking some time.

304
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, hopefully that was helpful. It was talking to you.

305
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was uh something, all right, you two?

306

Speaker 2: French fries mini baguettes.

312
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 9: I don't know. It seems interesting.

313
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 3: I think she was a little bit worried about the

314
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,119
Speaker 3: French references and the thing over compensation.

315
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 2: You were on a French fast, no French.

316
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,440

Speaker 3: Okay, I'm sorry.

323
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 9: I really didn't know what I was saying. I got

324
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 9: panicked and I like, I mean, I knew some friend,

325
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 9: so I just threw in what I knew.

326
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 3: I think overall, it's better than most of the reference

327
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 3: job interview things that happen, at least at the radio station.

328
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: It's not a good comparison. You don't have professional people here.

329
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, it could have gone worse.

330
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 2: Okay, that man left so confused.

331
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, but maybe that builds the mystique or something.

332
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, the French drink.

333
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 3: Yes, what we did today is we put the pressure

334
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 3: on the second reference in her resume.

335
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is probably your best friend or her mom.

336
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, hopefully your friend has a good second person.

337
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

338
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I guess I can say that I

339
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 9: followed through.

340
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 5: You did.

341
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 3: I think you did it.

342
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: I think you need to tell her about the at

343
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: least the McDonald's campaign for French fries in baguette.

344
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 2: So if they ask her about it, she knows.

345
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I'm definitely going to tell her. But

346
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 9: it does kind of look like it right.

347
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: Actually, comparison there, it's a long They should put back

348
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: the kids meals in France. I mean, we all know

349
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: that French fries come from France, right, Like, I don't know.

350
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: I didn't even really get what she made up there.

351
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: Was it just the campaign the marketing thing, or was.

352
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 9: It Well, she's an international sales effort, so of course.

353
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 3: Jump question Broy. Okay, Well, Jamie, the good news is

354
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 3: that you followed through on your promise to your friend.

355
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 3: You gave her a reference. It's not necessarily a great reference.

356
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 3: I don't think, but you did it. Yeah, you followed

357
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 3: through and you didn't offend anyone.

358
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 8: Well maybe everyone in France, all our French listeners.

00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 3: word yesterday. I think everybody should know there's an update

372
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 3: on the job situation. Apparently her friend got to the

373
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 3: final four candidates but did not get hired for the role.

374
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 1: Her friend, I know, did she not get hired because

375
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: of the references?

376
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 7: What was this?

377
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 3: It might be for the best because it would be

378
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 3: hard to live up to the lofty image that she

379
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 3: had painted for her with all of them McDonald's stuff,

380
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 3: the French voices. But maybe the best news out of

381
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 3: all of this is their friendship is still intact. Oh

Speaker 3: a reference. Yeah.

385
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,040
