0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Hey, we're slowly making Tuesday your favorite day of the week.

0:00:03.080 --> 0:00:04.200
<v Speaker 2>One week at a time.

0:00:04.840 --> 0:00:07.160
<v Speaker 1>Hey, you found the Second Date Update podcast. Thank you

0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:08.840
<v Speaker 1>for being here at Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.

0:00:09.039 --> 0:00:12.120
<v Speaker 1>But today is always your awkward Tuesday phone call.

<v Speaker 3>Yes, and you guys love it.

0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:14.239
<v Speaker 2>I think I know.

0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:17.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean the stats say yes because it's always one

0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:20.400
<v Speaker 1>of the most downloaded of the week. So that is awesome.

0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:22.680
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much for being here. It is unlike

0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:25.160
<v Speaker 1>any we've ever done before. I will say that, yeah,

0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:30.800
<v Speaker 1>it really is different, different than possibly illegal. But we

0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:32.600
<v Speaker 1>need to get to some listener comments first.

0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:37.159
<v Speaker 4>Okay, someone from Diego vela seven seven nine, who said, Hey,

0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:39.040
<v Speaker 4>I've been listening to the show every day since i

0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:41.960
<v Speaker 4>found the YouTube channel. I would love to get a

0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:45.400
<v Speaker 4>shout out from Jose doing the Veto impression. Please, it's

0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:47.120

<v Speaker 2>Diego?

0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:55.279
<v Speaker 3>One of the stupid numbers behind his name you.

0:00:57.600 --> 0:00:58.920
<v Speaker 2>Seven zero seven nine.

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 3>Seven zero seven nine. My favorite is a seven zero eight.

0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:09.479
<v Speaker 5>Oh, let's get you some pasta get back into the post,

0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:15.000
<v Speaker 5>and it's starting right.

0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:17.399
<v Speaker 2>Now with your awkward Tuesday phone call.

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:22.520
<v Speaker 3>How far would you go to help out a friend?

0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:23.759
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:27.160
<v Speaker 3>Well, I think it depends. Would you steal for them?

0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:28.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:30.680
<v Speaker 3>Would you lie for them?

0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:31.000
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:31.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't know yet.

0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:35.520
<v Speaker 3>Would you cheat with their significant other and capture it

0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:38.760
<v Speaker 3>on a secret camera to go back and show them

0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 3>I told you he is no good?

0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:41.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:43.120
<v Speaker 3>Seven times that night?

0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:44.679
<v Speaker 2>He did it out of a good place.

0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:44.920
<v Speaker 3>Yes?

0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:47.319
<v Speaker 2>Why did you keep seven times?

0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:47.640
<v Speaker 7>Yes?

0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:51.120
<v Speaker 3>Just to prove how bad? Hey, well, one of our

0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:54.840
<v Speaker 3>listeners says she has to do one of those things

0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:57.639
<v Speaker 3>because she is in a tough spot.

0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:00.040
<v Speaker 2>How sat the husband one her friend.

0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:03.000
<v Speaker 3>Has requested that she tell maybe the biggest lie of

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:06.120
<v Speaker 3>her entire life, and if she doesn't do it right,

0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:09.720
<v Speaker 3>it could come back and ruin her friend's career. Oh

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:13.120
<v Speaker 3>so you'll hear why she needs to do this with

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:16.320
<v Speaker 3>our help in your brand new awkward Tuesday phone call

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:23.160
<v Speaker 3>right after this, It's awkward. It's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 3>phone call. It's an unfortunate fact that people lie all

0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 3>the time.

0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:31.480
<v Speaker 2>No, they don't.

0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:33.440
<v Speaker 3>I see what she did there. Yeah, that was a

0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:36.919
<v Speaker 3>lie that wasn't true. So some lies are really bad,

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:38.600
<v Speaker 3>but some are kind of harmless.

0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:41.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, some are necessary to be honest.

0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, depending on the situation necessary.

0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.839
<v Speaker 3>But for example, where would this one rank. I'll say

0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:50.160
<v Speaker 3>the statement. You tell me how bad it is? Okay,

0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 3>Brooke tells her family and friends she went to an

0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:54.959
<v Speaker 3>accredited college.

0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:55.800
<v Speaker 7>I did.

0:02:56.840 --> 0:03:00.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, keep the story going, selling it. I wouldn't change

0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 3>it if I was you either. You're in way too

0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:03.000
<v Speaker 3>deep now.

0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:04.720
<v Speaker 8>But I think she was just like a hillbilly in

0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:07.239
<v Speaker 8>Montana for three years and just told everyone she was

0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:07.600
<v Speaker 8>out of.

0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:10.400
<v Speaker 3>College pretty much. I understand why she twists the truth

0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:13.520
<v Speaker 3>a little bit. But even Brooks web of deceit isn't

0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:16.359
<v Speaker 3>as bad as the one. Our listener, Lorie, finds herself

0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:17.560
<v Speaker 3>caught in today.

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:19.920
<v Speaker 2>Bad where's your degree from?

0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:20.320
<v Speaker 1>Laurie?

0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:23.080
<v Speaker 3>Laurie, Welcome to the show.

0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 9>Hi, thank you?

0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:26.480
<v Speaker 2>H Are you feeling bad?

0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:27.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.880
<v Speaker 9>I mean my friend put me in a really awkward position.

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:35.800
<v Speaker 3>Who lied in this situation? You were your friend?

0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:37.520
<v Speaker 9>My friend lied in this situation?

0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:42.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh, and then expected you to cover maybe why what happened? Yeah?

0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.200
<v Speaker 9>So she put me down as a reference on her

0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:46.720
<v Speaker 9>job resume without telling me.

0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 3>Oh oh god, oh.

0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:51.520
<v Speaker 1>No, I mean if she would have asked, what would

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 1>you have said? I mean, you'd have to lie. That's

0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:55.040
<v Speaker 1>one of those necessary lies you'd have to say.

0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:56.440
<v Speaker 2>Okay, but you Yeah.

0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:58.080
<v Speaker 8>Like if I just got a random call right now

0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:00.360
<v Speaker 8>and it was like Brooke Fox is applying you, I

0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 8>would cover for you. I totally would like you just

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:04.600
<v Speaker 8>like got you just tell.

0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Your friends if you put him Ada.

0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:08.840
<v Speaker 3>You would totally put Jose down on your resume.

0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:11.480
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, like, ma'am, is he responsible?

0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:15.600
<v Speaker 3>Totally don't lie, broke, don't lie.

0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:18.000
<v Speaker 2>I would definitely use Jose as my reference.

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:21.719
<v Speaker 8>Oh man, never get a job with Brooke as a friend.

0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:24.760
<v Speaker 3>So, Laurie, your friend didn't warn you that she was

0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:25.240
<v Speaker 3>doing this.

0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:30.400
<v Speaker 9>No, So I didn't really know anything about it. But

0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:32.760
<v Speaker 9>I did get a random voice NOIL yesterday.

0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:35.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that's good. Yeah, so went to voice Will.

0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.440
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, but it was like some guy at a company.

0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:39.760
<v Speaker 9>He said, if he wants to talk to me about

0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:41.880
<v Speaker 9>my friend, he wants to ask me a few questions.

0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:44.200
<v Speaker 9>So like, again, like I didn't know about this. So

0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:45.960
<v Speaker 9>I reached out to my friend and I'm like, what

0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:47.200
<v Speaker 9>the heck, Like what did you do?

0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:48.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:52.039
<v Speaker 9>And she was really sorry, like she didn't realize they

0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:54.520
<v Speaker 9>would actually call the references, I guess or she would

0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:54.960
<v Speaker 9>have told me.

0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:57.520
<v Speaker 3>So, yeah, okay, I'm kind of I didn't realize that

0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.080
<v Speaker 3>people actually called the references.

0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:00.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean you.

0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:01.400
<v Speaker 8>Never felt like they did.

0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:03.039
<v Speaker 4>I definitely worked in jobs where they told me that

0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:03.440
<v Speaker 4>they don't.

0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:06.520
<v Speaker 8>I think it's more like, do you have three friends,

0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:07.320
<v Speaker 8>because if you don't.

0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:11.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean it's pretty bad if you put down

0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:14.360
<v Speaker 1>somebody as a reference and they don't give a good referral.

0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 3>That's why I didn't put my mom down as a referenda. Yeah,

0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:22.039
<v Speaker 3>it's too risky. So do you know did your friend

0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:25.880
<v Speaker 3>put you down as like a past employer, like a

0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:27.040
<v Speaker 3>professional reference.

0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:28.160
<v Speaker 9>Yes?

0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:30.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, not as a friend, not as a friend.

0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:34.800
<v Speaker 2>Did you actually okay, did you work with her?

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:35.680
<v Speaker 8>No?

0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:37.240
<v Speaker 9>She absolutely lied about it.

0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:39.640
<v Speaker 3>Oh god, that's a lie.

0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:40.560
<v Speaker 6>I don't why you guys?

0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:41.800
<v Speaker 2>Are I thought everyone does this?

0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:42.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:45.920
<v Speaker 3>I think I check my references for this job.

0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:49.000
<v Speaker 2>It was probably my friend. If someone called.

0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:52.120
<v Speaker 1>Your friends, you would have been outed in five seconds.

0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:55.120
<v Speaker 3>And I feel like it might be a generational thing

0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:59.760
<v Speaker 3>where everyone in Alexis's generation doesn't really like know about

0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:00.680
<v Speaker 3>that or how it works.

0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:01.880
<v Speaker 2>Resumes.

0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:08.239
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the falls thunders, Yeah, all falls under the same category.

0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:10.640
<v Speaker 3>So now Laurie. It sounds like you're in kind of

0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:12.520
<v Speaker 3>a tough position, like what are you what are you

0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:13.160
<v Speaker 3>wanting to do?

0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:14.159
<v Speaker 1>Well?

0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:17.240
<v Speaker 9>I don't know. Like I call my friend. She's kind

0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:20.040
<v Speaker 9>of begging me to call this boss person back and

0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.560
<v Speaker 9>just like answer the questions and say nice things about her.

0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:25.919
<v Speaker 9>But like I'm over here, like are you crazy? Because Okay,

0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:28.479
<v Speaker 9>here's the worst part in the reference. It says that

0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 9>I'm a fluent French speaker.

0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:34.160
<v Speaker 2>Why why would it say that?

0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:43.120
<v Speaker 9>Because it's like an international brand manager job in branding,

0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 9>So I don't speak friends, I don't want to speak it.

0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:49.719
<v Speaker 9>I mean, I don't really know what I was to say,

0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:52.760
<v Speaker 9>Like do I just call this boss person and do it?

0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:53.520
<v Speaker 9>Like I need help?

0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:56.200
<v Speaker 8>Wait, you you do want to call the boss? I

0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:57.680
<v Speaker 8>thought you're calling your friend here.

0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:01.960
<v Speaker 4>You can't change your reference if she wants to job God,

0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:05.160
<v Speaker 4>So you're the boss has reached out like asking to

0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:06.120
<v Speaker 4>have this conversation.

0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:09.200
<v Speaker 8>So we're about to make a professional reference phone call.

0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:11.080
<v Speaker 2>But we're going to be on the other line, like

0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:11.960
<v Speaker 2>the boss will know.

0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.080
<v Speaker 9>I know you play the awkward sound effect, So I think,

0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:16.840
<v Speaker 9>like I'll just hang up and then you guys just

0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:17.280
<v Speaker 9>hit it.

0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:20.920
<v Speaker 3>I mean, Laurie, if the boss busts you and realizes

0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:23.800
<v Speaker 3>that you aren't really one of your friend's past employers,

0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:25.960
<v Speaker 3>and we should probably jump on to try and help

0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:27.000
<v Speaker 3>you and your friend.

0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:29.440
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, yeah, I mean I think I need help.

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:31.160
<v Speaker 3>What about you and me?

0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:33.320
<v Speaker 8>Quick French lesson in the next three minutes.

0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 2>Say you don't know any friends.

0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.520
<v Speaker 3>If it makes you feel any better, Lori, we're radio

0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:42.680
<v Speaker 3>hosts and we barely speak English, so you'll probably be

0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:45.360
<v Speaker 3>able to get something passable by when we come back

0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:48.160
<v Speaker 3>and give you our advice. Then let you give a

0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:51.360
<v Speaker 3>reference to your a professional reference for your friend.

0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:53.800
<v Speaker 2>This is such a bad idea. I love it.

0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:58.920
<v Speaker 3>Every awkward Tuesday phone call right after this. Okay, hold on,

0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:06.320
<v Speaker 3>it's awkward. It's say it's awkward Tuesday phone call. We've

0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:09.400
<v Speaker 3>done a lot of awkward calls on this show, never

0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:12.960
<v Speaker 3>one like this before, though, where our listener Laurie has

0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:17.040
<v Speaker 3>asked us to assist in giving a professional job reference

0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:20.640
<v Speaker 3>for her friend, and there's a few problems with it. One,

0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:24.240
<v Speaker 3>Laurie has never actually worked with her friend in any

0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:28.680
<v Speaker 3>professional capacity before, so that's a lie. Also, the reference

0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:32.080
<v Speaker 3>implies that she's a fluent French speaker, which is not

0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:35.760
<v Speaker 3>true at all, So hopefully the call doesn't even go there.

0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:38.160
<v Speaker 3>But Laurie wants to know how do we help her

0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:42.160
<v Speaker 3>fake it to make it sound legit? And luckily Brooke

0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:45.840
<v Speaker 3>fakes it every couple of nights, or at least her

0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:52.240
<v Speaker 3>husband does. So Brook Brook, we need your fake wisdom here.

0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:53.480
<v Speaker 3>What does Laurie do.

0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:56.120
<v Speaker 1>If she asks you to speak French? You just tell

0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:59.480
<v Speaker 1>her you're on a French fast. You gave up the

0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:03.880
<v Speaker 1>language lent. Maybe it was attracting too many men. You

0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:05.880
<v Speaker 1>just start taking a break from French right now.

0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:07.760
<v Speaker 3>It's too many carbs in the French language.

0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're just are just can't do it right now?

0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:11.560
<v Speaker 3>Ok?

0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:12.080
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:15.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So lock that nugget into your mind. Jose what

0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:17.280
<v Speaker 3>advice do you have for Laurie?

0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:19.840
<v Speaker 8>You need to set the expectation that you don't have

0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.240
<v Speaker 8>a lot of time here, all right, either you got

0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:24.280
<v Speaker 8>this whole thing's got to be quick.

0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Remember you're important.

0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:26.160
<v Speaker 9>You're important.

0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:29.520
<v Speaker 8>You got some other billion dollar corporation you're running right now.

0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:32.480
<v Speaker 3>You own Costco or something, right, Yeah? Because I think

0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:34.880
<v Speaker 3>the longer that you stay on the phone, the more

0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:37.560
<v Speaker 3>you open yourself up to the opportunity to be found

0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:38.280
<v Speaker 3>out as a fraud.

0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:39.040
<v Speaker 2>That's sure.

0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:42.480
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I really want to help my friend. I want

0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:45.160
<v Speaker 9>this to work out. Okay, So I just want to

0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:47.920
<v Speaker 9>get in and get out without crying or boy, Oh no.

0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:48.640
<v Speaker 3>Don't cry out.

0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:49.839
<v Speaker 2>You can't cry.

0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:55.520
<v Speaker 3>That's called the Brook Anniversary Special. My friend is so sweet.

0:09:57.000 --> 0:09:58.800
<v Speaker 9>I'm really nervous. I think we should just like a

0:09:58.840 --> 0:09:59.680
<v Speaker 9>hurry and just do this.

0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:02.160
<v Speaker 3>Okay, my job. The number is really fast and we'll

0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:03.560
<v Speaker 3>jump in if you feel like you need help, but

0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:05.520
<v Speaker 3>we won't. You've got this, okay.

0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:31.360

<v Speaker 9>You called me yesterday and lefts a message.

0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:35.800
<v Speaker 7>Oh yes, thank you so much for getting back to me.

0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:38.160
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, of course, I mean I'm happy to try and

0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:39.680
<v Speaker 9>help with I tell I just I don't have a

0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:42.000
<v Speaker 9>lot of time. I'm a very busy, busy person with

0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:43.280
<v Speaker 9>a lot of responsibilities.

0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:47.040
<v Speaker 7>Totally understand. This shouldn't take long at all.

0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:51.920
<v Speaker 9>Great, So what can I say? Jamie is a fantastic

0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:54.760
<v Speaker 9>person and a good worker, and I'd hire us.

0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:59.200
<v Speaker 7>Okay, I haven't asked any questions yet.

0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:02.800
<v Speaker 9>Oh, that's you know, I just wanted to let you know,

0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.160
<v Speaker 9>if you have specific questions, you can ask me. But

0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:06.960
<v Speaker 9>that's you know, she's a great hire.

0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:11.560
<v Speaker 7>That's great information to know. But let's just go ahead

0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:13.120
<v Speaker 7>and jump in and start with the first question.

0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:17.120
<v Speaker 9>Okay, sure, I do have a meeting that's coming up soon, so.

0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:20.200
<v Speaker 7>Just like if I have to jump we'll take no

0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:22.600
<v Speaker 7>time at all. So she was a little vague about

0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:26.640
<v Speaker 7>her international sales experience. It was just a little unclear.

0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:32.400
<v Speaker 9>Yeah. Well, in my experience, I had her doing sales

0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:36.320
<v Speaker 9>internationally because she was just so good at them domestically,

0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:38.679
<v Speaker 9>and I was like, you know, let's supersize it and

0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:40.679
<v Speaker 9>take it overseas. So she did it and it was

0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:41.200
<v Speaker 9>it was great.

0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:47.959
<v Speaker 7>Uh, Okay, that doesn't give me a ton of specifics.

0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:51.080
<v Speaker 7>This sales role. She would be interacting with people from

0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:55.880
<v Speaker 7>other cultures pretty frequently, and it says here on her

0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:59.400
<v Speaker 7>resume that she speaks French, and she mentioned that you

0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:02.720
<v Speaker 7>had spoken French too, pretty frequently. And so what is

0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:07.120
<v Speaker 7>the level of expertise would you say that she has.

0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.559
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I mean I know that she is she's an

0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:14.680
<v Speaker 9>expert fluent in French, but I do believe she said

0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:17.760
<v Speaker 9>that she's giving it up for lents, so she's probably

0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:19.520
<v Speaker 9>not gonna be able to speak it to you for

0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:23.280
<v Speaker 9>at least ninety days.

0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:26.559
<v Speaker 7>So if she if she's using French for her job,

0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:29.319
<v Speaker 7>she's not gonna be able to use it for ninety days.

0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:32.439
<v Speaker 9>I yeah, I don't. I don't want to push her.

0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:34.360
<v Speaker 9>I don't want to you know, I know it's a

0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:37.640
<v Speaker 9>it's a personal religious choice.

0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:38.440
<v Speaker 7>Okay.

0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:42.040
<v Speaker 9>Oh, and did you know that she was the one

0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:46.240
<v Speaker 9>in charge of sella McDonald's fries over in France.

0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:48.440
<v Speaker 7>Like like French fries French.

0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:51.359
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, but but she came up with the whole advertisement

0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:54.280
<v Speaker 9>saying like they look like mini begets.

0:12:56.800 --> 0:13:01.640
<v Speaker 7>Okay, that is interesting. I've absolutely never heard of that

0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:03.320
<v Speaker 7>one before ever.

0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:06.120
<v Speaker 9>Oh you never, You've never heard of that? That's crazy.

0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:12.000
<v Speaker 9>I actually, well, I call her uh, Litree and Tampagente.

0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:17.520
<v Speaker 7>The three intelligence exactly, Yeah.

0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:21.400
<v Speaker 9>Because she is as smart as three people. But you know,

0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:24.120
<v Speaker 9>put into one body, really inspired.

0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:26.839
<v Speaker 7>Okay.

0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:29.440
<v Speaker 9>I think, honestly, you really should just hire her. You

0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:34.679
<v Speaker 9>won't be sorry. She's got real main Assault energy, big

0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:36.160
<v Speaker 9>Assault jay.

0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:40.599
<v Speaker 7>Uh Okay, Okay.

0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:42.480
<v Speaker 9>I didn't even see the time I got to run.

0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:47.560
<v Speaker 7>Okay, I will take that into consideration and thanks for

0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:48.720
<v Speaker 7>taking some time.

0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:53.120
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, hopefully that was helpful. It was talking to you.

0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:59.439
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, it was uh something, all right, you two?

0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:01.079
<v Speaker 9>Goodbye or what?

0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:07.680
<v Speaker 7>Okay, thank you? What?

0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:10.640
<v Speaker 2>He's gone right?

0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:14.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he hung up the Laurie you're still there? Oh?

0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:16.200
<v Speaker 7>No, I did not know.

0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:21.440
<v Speaker 2>French fries mini baguettes.

0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:23.880
<v Speaker 9>I don't know. It seems interesting.

0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:27.360
<v Speaker 3>I think she was a little bit worried about the

0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:31.119
<v Speaker 3>French references and the thing over compensation.

0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:33.400
<v Speaker 2>You were on a French fast, no French.

0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:36.440
<v Speaker 8>Did you mention Fluffy the three headed dog from Harry

0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:39.800
<v Speaker 8>Potter somehow like the intelligence of three heads?

0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:40.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:43.520
<v Speaker 1>I actually thought that was pretty good. Three people. Actually,

0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:46.120
<v Speaker 1>that was actually out of all the things she said, Okay,

0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:47.000
<v Speaker 1>most solid.

0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:48.000
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I'm sorry.

0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:50.200
<v Speaker 9>I really didn't know what I was saying. I got

0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:52.880
<v Speaker 9>panicked and I like, I mean, I knew some friend,

0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:54.360
<v Speaker 9>so I just threw in what I knew.

0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:59.320
<v Speaker 3>I think overall, it's better than most of the reference

0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:02.480
<v Speaker 3>job interview things that happen, at least at the radio station.

0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:06.120
<v Speaker 1>It's not a good comparison. You don't have professional people here.

0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:09.320
<v Speaker 3>Well, yeah, it could have gone worse.

0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:12.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that man left so confused.

0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:17.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but maybe that builds the mystique or something.

0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the French drink.

0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:23.800
<v Speaker 3>Yes, what we did today is we put the pressure

0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:26.240
<v Speaker 3>on the second reference in her resume.

0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:29.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, which is probably your best friend or her mom.

0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:34.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, hopefully your friend has a good second person.

0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:36.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:38.200
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I mean I guess I can say that I

0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:39.000
<v Speaker 9>followed through.

0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:40.280
<v Speaker 5>You did.

0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:41.440
<v Speaker 3>I think you did it.

0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:43.440
<v Speaker 1>I think you need to tell her about the at

0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:46.640
<v Speaker 1>least the McDonald's campaign for French fries in baguette.

0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:48.520
<v Speaker 2>So if they ask her about it, she knows.

0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:51.960
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I mean, I'm definitely going to tell her. But

0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:53.920
<v Speaker 9>it does kind of look like it right.

0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Actually, comparison there, it's a long They should put back

0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:01.600
<v Speaker 1>the kids meals in France. I mean, we all know

0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:04.720
<v Speaker 1>that French fries come from France, right, Like, I don't know.

0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:06.680
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even really get what she made up there.

0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Was it just the campaign the marketing thing, or was.

0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:12.560
<v Speaker 9>It Well, she's an international sales effort, so of course.

0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:17.920
<v Speaker 3>Jump question Broy. Okay, Well, Jamie, the good news is

0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:20.000
<v Speaker 3>that you followed through on your promise to your friend.

0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:23.400
<v Speaker 3>You gave her a reference. It's not necessarily a great reference.

0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:26.120
<v Speaker 3>I don't think, but you did it. Yeah, you followed

0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:28.280
<v Speaker 3>through and you didn't offend anyone.

0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:31.400
<v Speaker 8>Well maybe everyone in France, all our French listeners.

0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Can you do us a favor and update us whether

0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:35.280
<v Speaker 1>or not your friend gets a job.

0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:37.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm really curious, like you need to know.

0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:39.880
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I definitely will. I tried reaching her earlier, but

0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:41.440
<v Speaker 9>she's like working out some kind of like broad at

0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:44.880
<v Speaker 9>a stone of course. Oh you tried to.

0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:45.800
<v Speaker 2>Pack in all that French.

0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:49.800
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, jose really wants the job, so she's trying.

0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Take it till you make it.

0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:54.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, good luck to her, and good luck to you.

0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:58.920
<v Speaker 9>Okank you freaking Jeffrey in the morning.

0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:02.920
<v Speaker 3>We recorded that call last week and we just got

0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:05.439
<v Speaker 3>word yesterday. I think everybody should know there's an update

0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:11.080
<v Speaker 3>on the job situation. Apparently her friend got to the

0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:15.280
<v Speaker 3>final four candidates but did not get hired for the role.

0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Her friend, I know, did she not get hired because

0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:20.840
<v Speaker 1>of the references?

0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:21.879
<v Speaker 7>What was this?

0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:24.040
<v Speaker 3>It might be for the best because it would be

0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:26.399
<v Speaker 3>hard to live up to the lofty image that she

0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:29.600
<v Speaker 3>had painted for her with all of them McDonald's stuff,

0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:34.040
<v Speaker 3>the French voices. But maybe the best news out of

0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:37.320
<v Speaker 3>all of this is their friendship is still intact. Oh

0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:40.280
<v Speaker 3>friend appreciated Lorie went to bad for her and promises

0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:42.639
<v Speaker 3>from now on she's not going to list her as

0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:43.520
<v Speaker 3>a reference. Yeah.

0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:46.040
<v Speaker 1>I think after she heard the call this morning, she's

0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:46.679
<v Speaker 1>definitely going to.

0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:47.159
<v Speaker 5>Back that up.

0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:52.040
<v Speaker 3>She has asked if Brooke will be a reference for her. So, Brooke,

0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:53.280
<v Speaker 3>you got this.

0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:54.960
<v Speaker 2>I didn't do well in French.

0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:59.280

0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:01.679
