Speaker 3: They make it really to.
Speaker 2: This day, one of our coworkers, Pam still says best.
Speaker 3: Holiday party ever.
Speaker 1: That checks out.
Speaker 3: She lived that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But it was a little bit different for one
Speaker 2: of our listeners because his office Christmas party actually started
Speaker 2: out as one of the greatest nights of his life
Speaker 2: until his boss saw.
Speaker 3: What he was doing in the back.
Speaker 2: Sounds like it instantly turned into the most embarrassing moment
Speaker 2: of his entire life. It's an insane story, and we're
Speaker 2: really thankful that he chose us to reach out to
Speaker 2: for help. So you're gonna hear what happened when we
Speaker 2: do your awkward Tuesday phone call coming up next.
Speaker 3: It's awkward it's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 2: We've seen the movies, we've seen the TV shows Holiday,
Speaker 2: but what happens in real life? If you have an
Speaker 2: embarrassing holiday work party story and it causes you a
Speaker 2: big problem, that's when.
Speaker 3: You turn to us for a little bit of help.
Speaker 2: And that's why Chris emailed the show today after he
Speaker 2: did something naughty at his office holiday party.
Speaker 1: Oh you're the.
Speaker 3: Culprit, Chris. Welcome to the show, you naughty boy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess it turns out that way.
Speaker 1: But god, do you still have a job? Is it
Speaker 1: that naughty?
Speaker 4: Ah? I do, but I wasn't sure for a pick.
Speaker 3: Oh no, okay, Well tell us what happened at this party?
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, I guess you know.
Speaker 5: I'll just start from being Ah, I'm a chemical engineer
Speaker 5: for a large company, and it's been a great year.
Speaker 1: For us man very similar to our jobs.
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely, And I know it sounds a little nerdy,
Speaker 5: but my team came up with this anti corrosion for
Speaker 5: batteries and it was a big, big deal.
Speaker 1: Well, wow, interesting, I didn't even.
Speaker 6: Know batteries corode.
Speaker 1: Well, Alexis it doesn't sound nerdy. It sounds rich, you.
Speaker 3: Said, But good for you. Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 1: That's awesome. So there's a big reason to celebrate, you're
Speaker 1: saying at this holiday party.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So I was the Delete operations supervisor and because of that,
Speaker 5: they asked me to give a speech.
Speaker 1: Oh big deal. I mean that's always crazy too because
Speaker 1: it's in front of everybody.
Speaker 3: Right, I know, you must have been nervous.
Speaker 4: Oh, I totally was.
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, I practiced and practice went over
Speaker 5: to them thing and I wasn't sure how it's going
Speaker 5: to go.
Speaker 4: But luckily it turned out better than expected.
Speaker 1: Okay, was it like a serious speech or could you
Speaker 1: mix some humor in there?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: What's the crowd like at your office?
Speaker 5: So it wasn't just the office where we're doing this party.
Speaker 5: It was like a huge space that they rented out
Speaker 5: and like everybody was there. I mean, you know, so
Speaker 5: they were like thousands of people at businessments.
Speaker 2: A legit holiday party last year for us. They just
Speaker 2: had a bunch of Ritz crackers and microwavable foods that
Speaker 2: they Usiza rolls.
Speaker 3: That's awesome. How the speech go?
Speaker 5: It went better than I expected, even I mean, you know,
Speaker 5: I was nervous at a couple of cocktails before and yeah,
Speaker 5: I was glad it went really well.
Speaker 1: So what happened that was so bad? Then? Are you
Speaker 1: just calling to humble brag? Was this like you're in.
Speaker 3: For Alexis right now?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 3: What is going on?
Speaker 4: Chris?
Speaker 5: Well no, I mean so afterward it went, well, I'm
Speaker 5: going to get a bike, going to get another drink,
Speaker 5: and then I look and there was this bright redheaded girl,
Speaker 5: incredible dress.
Speaker 4: Oh she's like looking and smiling at me.
Speaker 2: Okay, She's like, hey, are you the anti corrosion battery.
Speaker 4: Well, she told me how funny I was.
Speaker 5: Maybe speech was funny.
Speaker 1: So you went up and talked to her.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I was feeling good after that speech,
Speaker 5: you know, like I was buzzing.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you had some swagger going on. I mean
Speaker 1: there was.
Speaker 5: Confidence, I guess. So, and she decided to grab my
Speaker 5: hand and she took me to a part of the
Speaker 5: building that we thought would be quiet.
Speaker 1: Oh well, wow, the company benefits are just getting a
Speaker 1: little bit better all the time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what happens?
Speaker 4: Well, then she started doing stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, this is exciting. Is she is? She also
Speaker 1: an employee of the company.
Speaker 4: I didn't recognize her.
Speaker 1: So I'm not sure, but you said there's like thousands
Speaker 1: of people.
Speaker 4: There, so she could be in a different department. I
Speaker 4: doubt hr who knows.
Speaker 2: Okay, I still have yet to hear something bad happen.
Speaker 5: So well, everything was great, but in the middle of us,
Speaker 5: you know, getting to know each other, my boss walked
Speaker 5: around the corner and he saw what was happening, and oh,
Speaker 5: my face is red. I mean, you start screaming at
Speaker 5: me that like this is inappropriate.
Speaker 3: Dude, your boss saw it happening.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I just went ahead and I left the party.
Speaker 5: I mean to be honest, I didn't know what to do.
Speaker 5: I freaked out, and then I didn't even really think
Speaker 5: about you know what.
Speaker 4: Her full reaction was, Would you feel bad about now?
Speaker 2: You're just.
Speaker 1: The highest of highs, so the lowest.
Speaker 4: Of love exactly.
Speaker 5: Because it turns out the area we were in wasn't private.
Speaker 5: Other people saw what.
Speaker 1: It wasn't just your bossser window that you didn't realize.
Speaker 2: It was actually up on the Megatron for everybody to see.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't even know, Like I guess we couldn't
Speaker 4: see them, but they could see us.
Speaker 5: I have no idea.
Speaker 1: Oh my God, mirror the way you didn't get fired.
Speaker 5: No, I owned it, just said I'm sorry. If they
Speaker 5: want me to resign, I was willing to do that.
Speaker 5: I mean whatever, but you made.
Speaker 1: Them so much money, so they're all.
Speaker 3: Suddenly forgot about it.
Speaker 4: Probably, Oh my god, heap.
Speaker 1: So who are we calling? What are we doing?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 5: I knew the girl's name was Amanda, That's all I
Speaker 5: got from her, and I'm kind of friends with the
Speaker 5: guy who was getting everything shut up for the party,
Speaker 5: and so I asked him if I could have the
Speaker 5: girl's full name and number, and he gave it to me.
Speaker 3: Oh, so we're calling.
Speaker 1: The girl the mysterious Hotti.
Speaker 3: The fun girl from the party, the redhead.
Speaker 5: I mean, I really liked her, and I want to
Speaker 5: reconnect with her. I mean, to me, it wasn't just
Speaker 5: like this crazy thing. It was like a crazy thing
Speaker 5: where I actually was into her too.
Speaker 2: Sure, I mean, that's great, But why don't you just
Speaker 2: do that on your own? Why would you need our
Speaker 2: help to do that?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just feel like could go bad or maybe
Speaker 5: she feels too bad about what had happened or Barrett,
Speaker 5: so you know, kind of cover my basis, I guess
Speaker 5: by calling you guys and seeing if you can help.
Speaker 3: Okay, really cool.
Speaker 2: Well we'll have some advice for you in just a second.
Speaker 2: First we got to play a song, but we'll come back.
Speaker 2: We'll let you do your awkward Tuesday phone call to
Speaker 2: the cool redhead from the party and tell her, Hey,
Speaker 2: I kind of like you.
Speaker 1: Oh it wasn't obvious.
Speaker 3: We'll do that next. It's awkward.
Speaker 5: It's Tuesday.
Speaker 3: It's awkward Tuesday phone call. Man, what a crazy story
Speaker 3: we just heard?
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for people that are just tuning in if you
Speaker 2: missed it, we had somebody reach out to us. This
Speaker 2: guy named Chris who went to a holiday party for
Speaker 2: his company, and not like a normal small one like
Speaker 2: you might be picturing. This is a massive party in
Speaker 2: a giant rented out space with hundreds thousands of people there.
Speaker 2: He was the lead of his company division, so we
Speaker 2: had to give this big speech and ended up killing it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was Chris's nightman, He he could do no wrong.
Speaker 2: So after he got off stage, standing there in a
Speaker 2: spotlight is this beautiful red haired woman who starts flirting
Speaker 2: with him, leads him into a back area and shows
Speaker 2: him just how much she enjoyed that speech, but apparently
Speaker 2: they weren't the only ones there because some of the
Speaker 2: other employees saw it. And the worst part is the
Speaker 2: boss caught them fooling around back there. He thought for
Speaker 2: sure he was going to lose his job the next day,
Speaker 2: but he didn't. And now he's just trying to get
Speaker 2: a hold of the mystery redhead from the party, and
Speaker 2: he wants our help doing it. He doesn't know if
Speaker 2: she works at the company or what her deal is.
Speaker 2: He just got her number from one of the organizers
Speaker 2: and he wants some advice before he talks to her.
Speaker 3: Brook, what do you.
Speaker 1: Think, Oh, man, Chris, this is big. Okay. I want you,
Speaker 1: as we're going into this call, right, I want you
Speaker 1: to visualize yourself as the version of Chris that just
Speaker 1: walked off that stage. You are comfort, you are feeling
Speaker 1: on top of the world, because that's what she was
Speaker 1: attracted to. Man, Okay, do you know what I'm talking about?
Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, yeah.
Speaker 1: Okay, so far it doesn't soundly.
Speaker 4: Yet, I'm trying to get there.
Speaker 6: You got it.
Speaker 2: I'm with you, Brook, actually, like, yeah, you need to
Speaker 2: visualize somebody who is that confident like picture. You need
Speaker 2: to visualize like Matthew McConaughey in your head when you're talking.
Speaker 2: Try to channel that type of energy, like picture yourself
Speaker 2: driving a Lincoln through a desert with your shirt off,
Speaker 2: saying nonsensical things out into the nothing. I think, what
Speaker 2: would Matthew do before?
Speaker 1: I don't want him to be Chris. I don't want
Speaker 1: you to be a different person. I want you to
Speaker 1: be the version of you that you were when you
Speaker 1: left the stage.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'll try to do that. Okay, you can do it,
Speaker 4: all right, all right, all right.
Speaker 1: I mean she's a battery and you're going to fix
Speaker 1: the corrosion or whatever the analogy should be in your life. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right.
Speaker 3: All right, I wish you lock.
Speaker 2: I'm in a dollar phone number right now. Let's do
Speaker 2: your awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 4: Hello, Hey is this Amanda?
Speaker 6: Yeah? I'm sorry?
Speaker 4: Who is this? It's us? Yeah? Yeah, it's Chris from
Speaker 4: the holiday party the other night?
Speaker 6: Oh hi? Hey wait wait how did you get my number?
Speaker 4: Oh? Well, you know, it just kind of came to me.
Speaker 6: Okay, I mean you, I mean.
Speaker 4: How are you? How are you?
Speaker 6: I'm good? How are how are you?
Speaker 4: I'm all right? All right?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 6: Wait did you just quote Matthew McConaughey, I may, Oh
Speaker 6: my god, Okay, what's going on.
Speaker 5: I just wanted to say I'm sorry about what happened
Speaker 5: at the party the other night. I mean, I'm not
Speaker 5: sorry about what happened, like, I just meant, you know,
Speaker 5: with my boss seeing us and getting upset, I'm sure
Speaker 5: that was for you too, So I totally apologize for
Speaker 5: putting you.
Speaker 6: No, I mean it's okay, Like, if anything is my fault,
Speaker 6: I brought you back there, and I don't know, I
Speaker 6: was just like really feeling it in the moment, and
Speaker 6: I think we both just kind of sort of lost ourselves.
Speaker 6: Like I mean, I think you're bad, but oh my god, Okay, stop.
Speaker 5: No, I mean seriously, I'm calling because I've been thinking
Speaker 5: about you a lot.
Speaker 4: And I know we didn't hang out that long, but
Speaker 4: for the moment.
Speaker 5: I saw you, I don't want to be like creepy
Speaker 5: or anything, but I just felt something like an instant
Speaker 5: connection and I can't explain it, so I wanted to call.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm so taken up back cool, you don't know,
Speaker 6: I mean, yeah.
Speaker 4: You're good. I mean it just felt like I don't know,
Speaker 4: I was supposed to meet.
Speaker 5: Me that night.
Speaker 6: You know, you know it's crazy because honestly, like I
Speaker 6: felt the same way about you, like when I saw you. Yeah,
Speaker 6: I mean honestly or really like you said, like fate
Speaker 6: or something.
Speaker 4: Glad you did. I mean, nothing like this has ever
Speaker 4: happened to me.
Speaker 6: So, I mean, just so you know, I mean me, So,
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 4: You don't want to hang it out again?
Speaker 6: Maybe sometime, of course, I mean I want to hang out.
Speaker 6: How about this time without an audience?
Speaker 4: Maybe?
Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely, yeah, because that was a little uncomfortable, but
Speaker 6: not your fault, like totally mine. But listen, there is
Speaker 6: something that I should probably tell you.
Speaker 1: About that.
Speaker 6: You're single, right, yeah, I mean, yes, I'm definitely single.
Speaker 4: It's just.
Speaker 6: So you know your boss James. Yeah, yeah, James is
Speaker 6: my uncle.
Speaker 4: Why no, wait.
Speaker 6: A minute, wad hello?
Speaker 2: A whole radio show full of people is on the phone.
Speaker 3: Actually, this is Brooke and Jeffery in the Morning set up.
Speaker 1: No kind of instead of watching, we're just listening.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: This is something that we do called an awkward Tuesday
Speaker 2: phone call. Okay, and it's pretty self explanatory why it's awkward,
Speaker 2: But yeah.
Speaker 5: About it.
Speaker 2: Chris just wanted our heal reaching out to you again
Speaker 2: after having a nice time at the holiday party.
Speaker 1: My god, you're his boss's niece.
Speaker 4: Yeah, how old are you?
Speaker 3: Oh that's a good question.
Speaker 6: I'm old enough. Okay, now that I'm on the radio,
Speaker 6: I'm not going to spill any more of myself. But
Speaker 6: I'm old enough. Don't worry about that.
Speaker 1: Okay, you're legal to drink.
Speaker 6: Oh of course, come on, he's like, I forgot to
Speaker 6: tell you.
Speaker 3: She's wearing all my little pony stuff.
Speaker 2: It looks like you just got a date to the
Speaker 2: senior prom Chris, congratulations.
Speaker 5: I mean, I now I know why it was so mad.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I mean I thought I was going
Speaker 4: to get fired.
Speaker 5: I just thought like it was just a general policy
Speaker 5: thing that you know, he was upset about, not that.
Speaker 4: Man is his niece.
Speaker 6: Well, listen, another confession on my end, Like I was
Speaker 6: the one that told him not to fire you, and
Speaker 6: like I really stood up for you and put all
Speaker 6: the blame on myself.
Speaker 4: Oh so thank you.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, dude, for you.
Speaker 6: He told me not to contact you, but I was
Speaker 6: very hesitant about it because I didn't want to go
Speaker 6: against him. But clearly, like you felt the same because
Speaker 6: you found me.
Speaker 3: So I mean maybe this is fate.
Speaker 4: This is fate.
Speaker 3: The chemistry already.
Speaker 1: Wait, your uncle said not to contact him, like he
Speaker 1: doesn't want you to talk to him anymore.
Speaker 6: Yeah, because of course. I mean they have a very
Speaker 6: high profile job and business and I understand that, and
Speaker 6: I wasn't trying to get in the way of that
Speaker 6: at all.
Speaker 2: But uncles don't want their nieces and nephews to contact anybody.
Speaker 1: You can't get But this is Chris's boss, I mean, like, Chris,
Speaker 1: how do you feel about it?
Speaker 5: Well, I mean what I don't know is like if
Speaker 5: we gate and we're on the radio saying we want you,
Speaker 5: is he going to be.
Speaker 4: Cool with that? Well?
Speaker 2: And what if you two don't announce it at all?
Speaker 2: What if you guys just keep it on the d L.
Speaker 1: They're obviously terrible at that.
Speaker 6: Hey, I'm fine with that. Like, I think it could
Speaker 6: be exciting and risque a little bit, like, no, keep
Speaker 6: it a secret and we just take it slow, but
Speaker 6: no one has to know about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just climb up into a Manda's treehouse. No one
Speaker 2: will be able to see what you're doing.
Speaker 6: But I promised, like I wouldn't say anything at all,
Speaker 6: and I'm really.
Speaker 5: Good at keeping secret.
Speaker 6: So if we just I mean clearly we felt something
Speaker 6: and you reached out to me first, and I think
Speaker 6: we should just explore it.
Speaker 5: That's a big risk, Chris, you know, I mean to me,
Speaker 5: it's like we care about each other. We're trying to
Speaker 5: give it a legitimate go. It's not just like the
Speaker 5: first time. We was just more fun getting to know
Speaker 5: each other. So screw it, let's do it.
Speaker 1: Wow, Bay, does that mean you're gonna tell the boss
Speaker 1: Chris or you're not going to tell me to do
Speaker 1: this secret thing?
Speaker 4: I think we're gonna Wait.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean this is a really sweet holiday story.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure Hallmark is going to use it, but it's.
Speaker 3: Good enough for our radio shows, so let's call it away.
Speaker 3: Congratulations you guys, Thanks guys
Speaker 1: Thanks good luck broking Jeffrey in the morning.
