0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:19.080
<v Speaker 2>We've all heard stories about office holiday parties that got

0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:20.080
<v Speaker 2>a little bit out of hand.

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:21.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:23.200
<v Speaker 2>I won't even go into that time four years ago

0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:28.200
<v Speaker 2>when jose brought a special holiday brownies, especially you guys

0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:29.000

<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, I didn't get those ones.

0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:38.759
<v Speaker 3>They make it really to.

0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:41.920
<v Speaker 2>This day, one of our coworkers, Pam still says best.

0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:43.040
<v Speaker 3>Holiday party ever.

0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:44.840

<v Speaker 3>She lived that.

0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, But it was a little bit different for one

0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:53.040
<v Speaker 2>of our listeners because his office Christmas party actually started

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:55.200
<v Speaker 2>out as one of the greatest nights of his life

0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.240
<v Speaker 2>until his boss saw.

0:01:58.000 --> 0:01:59.520
<v Speaker 3>What he was doing in the back.

0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Sounds like it instantly turned into the most embarrassing moment

0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:09.480
<v Speaker 2>of his entire life. It's an insane story, and we're

0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:12.040
<v Speaker 2>really thankful that he chose us to reach out to

0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:15.040
<v Speaker 2>for help. So you're gonna hear what happened when we

<v Speaker 2>We've seen the movies, we've seen the TV shows Holiday,

0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 2>but what happens in real life? If you have an

0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:36.560

<v Speaker 4>But luckily it turned out better than expected.

0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:04.680
<v Speaker 1>Okay, was it like a serious speech or could you

0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:05.840

0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:12.000
<v Speaker 5>So it wasn't just the office where we're doing this party.

0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:14.080
<v Speaker 5>It was like a huge space that they rented out

0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:16.919
<v Speaker 5>and like everybody was there. I mean, you know, so

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.599
<v Speaker 5>they were like thousands of people at businessments.

<v Speaker 5>I was nervous at a couple of cocktails before and yeah,

0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:41.440
<v Speaker 5>I was glad it went really well.

0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:44.200
<v Speaker 1>So what happened that was so bad? Then? Are you

0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:46.720

<v Speaker 3>What is going on?

0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:52.880

0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:56.520
<v Speaker 5>Well no, I mean so afterward it went, well, I'm

<v Speaker 5>going to get a bike, going to get another drink,

0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:03.360
<v Speaker 5>and then I look and there was this bright redheaded girl,

0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:05.000
<v Speaker 5>incredible dress.

0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:08.000
<v Speaker 4>Oh she's like looking and smiling at me.

0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:15.800
<v Speaker 2>Okay, She's like, hey, are you the anti corrosion battery.

0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 4>Well, she told me how funny I was.

0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 5>Maybe speech was funny.

0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:21.640
<v Speaker 1>So you went up and talked to her.

0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:25.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean I was feeling good after that speech,

0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:26.280
<v Speaker 5>you know, like I was buzzing.

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:26.440
<v Speaker 4>Man.

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:28.880
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so you had some swagger going on. I mean

0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:29.400
<v Speaker 1>there was.

0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:34.000
<v Speaker 5>Confidence, I guess. So, and she decided to grab my

0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:35.880
<v Speaker 5>hand and she took me to a part of the

0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:37.520
<v Speaker 5>building that we thought would be quiet.

0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh well, wow, the company benefits are just getting a

0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:42.640
<v Speaker 1>little bit better all the time.

0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:44.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, what happens?

0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:49.760
<v Speaker 4>Well, then she started doing stuff.

0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:54.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, this is exciting. Is she is? She also

0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:56.200
<v Speaker 1>an employee of the company.

0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:58.400
<v Speaker 4>I didn't recognize her.

0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:01.480
<v Speaker 1>So I'm not sure, but you said there's like thousands

0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:02.279
<v Speaker 1>of people.

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:05.200
<v Speaker 4>There, so she could be in a different department. I

0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:07.039
<v Speaker 4>doubt hr who knows.

0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:11.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I still have yet to hear something bad happen.

0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:16.680
<v Speaker 5>So well, everything was great, but in the middle of us,

0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:19.400
<v Speaker 5>you know, getting to know each other, my boss walked

0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:24.000
<v Speaker 5>around the corner and he saw what was happening, and oh,

0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:27.280
<v Speaker 5>my face is red. I mean, you start screaming at

0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:29.200
<v Speaker 5>me that like this is inappropriate.

0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:32.880
<v Speaker 3>Dude, your boss saw it happening.

0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:36.599
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so I just went ahead and I left the party.

0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:38.520
<v Speaker 5>I mean to be honest, I didn't know what to do.

0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:40.800
<v Speaker 5>I freaked out, and then I didn't even really think

0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:42.279
<v Speaker 5>about you know what.

0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:44.440
<v Speaker 4>Her full reaction was, Would you feel bad about now?

0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:45.160
<v Speaker 2>You're just.

0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:49.080
<v Speaker 1>The highest of highs, so the lowest.

0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:50.960
<v Speaker 4>Of love exactly.

0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:54.440
<v Speaker 5>Because it turns out the area we were in wasn't private.

0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:56.600
<v Speaker 5>Other people saw what.

0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:01.560
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't just your bossser window that you didn't realize.

0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:04.520
<v Speaker 2>It was actually up on the Megatron for everybody to see.

0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:07.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. I don't even know, Like I guess we couldn't

0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:08.520
<v Speaker 4>see them, but they could see us.

0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:09.320
<v Speaker 5>I have no idea.

0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh my God, mirror the way you didn't get fired.

0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:17.160
<v Speaker 5>No, I owned it, just said I'm sorry. If they

0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:19.920
<v Speaker 5>want me to resign, I was willing to do that.

0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:21.880
<v Speaker 5>I mean whatever, but you made.

0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Them so much money, so they're all.

0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:24.880
<v Speaker 3>Suddenly forgot about it.

0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:26.920

0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:29.760

<v Speaker 5>guy who was getting everything shut up for the party,

0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:41.360
<v Speaker 5>and so I asked him if I could have the

0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:43.400
<v Speaker 5>girl's full name and number, and he gave it to me.

0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:46.040

<v Speaker 5>like this crazy thing. It was like a crazy thing

0:07:57.280 --> 0:07:59.280
<v Speaker 5>where I actually was into her too.

0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:02.240
<v Speaker 2>Sure, I mean, that's great, But why don't you just

0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:04.000
<v Speaker 2>do that on your own? Why would you need our

0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:04.680
<v Speaker 2>help to do that?

0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:07.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I just feel like could go bad or maybe

0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:09.440
<v Speaker 5>she feels too bad about what had happened or Barrett,

0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:12.480
<v Speaker 5>so you know, kind of cover my basis, I guess

0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:14.160
<v Speaker 5>by calling you guys and seeing if you can help.

0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:15.440
<v Speaker 3>Okay, really cool.

0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:17.400
<v Speaker 2>Well we'll have some advice for you in just a second.

0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:19.680
<v Speaker 2>First we got to play a song, but we'll come back.

0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:22.240
<v Speaker 2>We'll let you do your awkward Tuesday phone call to

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:25.440
<v Speaker 2>the cool redhead from the party and tell her, Hey,

0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:26.240
<v Speaker 2>I kind of like you.

0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh it wasn't obvious.

0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:32.320
<v Speaker 3>We'll do that next. It's awkward.

0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:33.280
<v Speaker 5>It's Tuesday.

0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:38.680
<v Speaker 3>It's awkward Tuesday phone call. Man, what a crazy story

0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:39.320
<v Speaker 3>we just heard?

0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:39.680
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:41.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, for people that are just tuning in if you

0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:43.800
<v Speaker 2>missed it, we had somebody reach out to us. This

0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:46.480
<v Speaker 2>guy named Chris who went to a holiday party for

0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:49.600
<v Speaker 2>his company, and not like a normal small one like

0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:52.080
<v Speaker 2>you might be picturing. This is a massive party in

0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:56.040
<v Speaker 2>a giant rented out space with hundreds thousands of people there.

0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:58.719
<v Speaker 2>He was the lead of his company division, so we

0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:01.480
<v Speaker 2>had to give this big speech and ended up killing it.

0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:05.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was Chris's nightman, He he could do no wrong.

0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:08.320
<v Speaker 2>So after he got off stage, standing there in a

0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:12.439
<v Speaker 2>spotlight is this beautiful red haired woman who starts flirting

0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.480
<v Speaker 2>with him, leads him into a back area and shows

0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:21.640
<v Speaker 2>him just how much she enjoyed that speech, but apparently

0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:25.000
<v Speaker 2>they weren't the only ones there because some of the

0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:28.280
<v Speaker 2>other employees saw it. And the worst part is the

0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:32.080
<v Speaker 2>boss caught them fooling around back there. He thought for

0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:33.839
<v Speaker 2>sure he was going to lose his job the next day,

0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:35.960
<v Speaker 2>but he didn't. And now he's just trying to get

0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.600
<v Speaker 2>a hold of the mystery redhead from the party, and

0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:40.600
<v Speaker 2>he wants our help doing it. He doesn't know if

0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:43.360
<v Speaker 2>she works at the company or what her deal is.

0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:45.439
<v Speaker 2>He just got her number from one of the organizers

0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:47.400
<v Speaker 2>and he wants some advice before he talks to her.

0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:47.920
<v Speaker 3>Brook, what do you.

0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:51.880
<v Speaker 1>Think, Oh, man, Chris, this is big. Okay. I want you,

0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:54.120
<v Speaker 1>as we're going into this call, right, I want you

0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:58.120
<v Speaker 1>to visualize yourself as the version of Chris that just

0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:01.400
<v Speaker 1>walked off that stage. You are comfort, you are feeling

0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:02.880
<v Speaker 1>on top of the world, because that's what she was

0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.800
<v Speaker 1>attracted to. Man, Okay, do you know what I'm talking about?

0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:08.000
<v Speaker 4>Okay, Okay, yeah.

0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:09.719
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so far it doesn't soundly.

0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:13.280
<v Speaker 4>Yet, I'm trying to get there.

0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:14.160
<v Speaker 6>You got it.

0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:16.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm with you, Brook, actually, like, yeah, you need to

0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:20.640
<v Speaker 2>visualize somebody who is that confident like picture. You need

0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:24.120
<v Speaker 2>to visualize like Matthew McConaughey in your head when you're talking.

0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:27.320
<v Speaker 2>Try to channel that type of energy, like picture yourself

0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:31.400
<v Speaker 2>driving a Lincoln through a desert with your shirt off,

0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:36.040
<v Speaker 2>saying nonsensical things out into the nothing. I think, what

0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:37.600
<v Speaker 2>would Matthew do before?

0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:40.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't want him to be Chris. I don't want

0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:41.880
<v Speaker 1>you to be a different person. I want you to

0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:44.240
<v Speaker 1>be the version of you that you were when you

0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:45.280
<v Speaker 1>left the stage.

0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:49.360
<v Speaker 4>Okay, I'll try to do that. Okay, you can do it,

0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:53.280
<v Speaker 4>all right, all right, all right.

0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean she's a battery and you're going to fix

0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.960
<v Speaker 1>the corrosion or whatever the analogy should be in your life. Okay,

0:10:59.080 --> 0:10:59.600
<v Speaker 1>all right.

0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:00.480
<v Speaker 3>All right, I wish you lock.

0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:02.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm in a dollar phone number right now. Let's do

0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:03.280
<v Speaker 2>your awkward Tuesday phone call.

0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:15.440
<v Speaker 4>Hello, Hey is this Amanda?

0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:18.000
<v Speaker 6>Yeah? I'm sorry?

0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:23.280
<v Speaker 4>Who is this? It's us? Yeah? Yeah, it's Chris from

0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:24.920
<v Speaker 4>the holiday party the other night?

0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:34.079
<v Speaker 6>Oh hi? Hey wait wait how did you get my number?

0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:39.400
<v Speaker 4>Oh? Well, you know, it just kind of came to me.

<v Speaker 6>Okay, I mean you, I mean.

0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:46.760

<v Speaker 5>I just wanted to say I'm sorry about what happened

0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:11.920
<v Speaker 5>at the party the other night. I mean, I'm not

0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:14.760
<v Speaker 5>sorry about what happened, like, I just meant, you know,

0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:18.320
<v Speaker 5>with my boss seeing us and getting upset, I'm sure

0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:21.400
<v Speaker 5>that was for you too, So I totally apologize for

0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:22.160
<v Speaker 5>putting you.

0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:26.880
<v Speaker 6>No, I mean it's okay, Like, if anything is my fault,

0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:29.400
<v Speaker 6>I brought you back there, and I don't know, I

0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:31.680
<v Speaker 6>was just like really feeling it in the moment, and

0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:34.400
<v Speaker 6>I think we both just kind of sort of lost ourselves.

0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:41.280
<v Speaker 6>Like I mean, I think you're bad, but oh my god, Okay, stop.

0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:45.000
<v Speaker 5>No, I mean seriously, I'm calling because I've been thinking

0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:46.080
<v Speaker 5>about you a lot.

0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:47.920
<v Speaker 4>And I know we didn't hang out that long, but

0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:48.839
<v Speaker 4>for the moment.

0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:50.280
<v Speaker 5>I saw you, I don't want to be like creepy

0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:53.679
<v Speaker 5>or anything, but I just felt something like an instant

0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:56.560
<v Speaker 5>connection and I can't explain it, so I wanted to call.

0:12:57.880 --> 0:12:58.160

0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:12.320
<v Speaker 5>Me that night.

0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:17.200
<v Speaker 6>You know, you know it's crazy because honestly, like I

0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:21.520
<v Speaker 6>felt the same way about you, like when I saw you. Yeah,

0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:24.480
<v Speaker 6>I mean honestly or really like you said, like fate

0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:25.719
<v Speaker 6>or something.

0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:30.520
<v Speaker 4>Glad you did. I mean, nothing like this has ever

0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:31.080
<v Speaker 4>happened to me.

0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:34.640

<v Speaker 4>You don't want to hang it out again?

0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:46.000
<v Speaker 6>Maybe sometime, of course, I mean I want to hang out.

0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:49.040
<v Speaker 6>How about this time without an audience?

0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:49.439
<v Speaker 4>Maybe?

0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:56.800
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, definitely, yeah, because that was a little uncomfortable, but

0:13:57.080 --> 0:14:00.360
<v Speaker 6>not your fault, like totally mine. But listen, there is

0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:03.359
<v Speaker 6>something that I should probably tell you.

0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:03.839
<v Speaker 1>About that.

0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:11.199
<v Speaker 6>You're single, right, yeah, I mean, yes, I'm definitely single.

0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:12.199
<v Speaker 4>It's just.

0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:21.560
<v Speaker 6>So you know your boss James. Yeah, yeah, James is

0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:22.280
<v Speaker 6>my uncle.

0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:28.560
<v Speaker 4>Why no, wait.

0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:33.600
<v Speaker 6>A minute, wad hello?

0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:38.640
<v Speaker 2>A whole radio show full of people is on the phone.

0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:41.800
<v Speaker 3>Actually, this is Brooke and Jeffery in the Morning set up.

0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:45.320
<v Speaker 1>No kind of instead of watching, we're just listening.

0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:47.480
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:49.960
<v Speaker 2>This is something that we do called an awkward Tuesday

0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:55.040
<v Speaker 2>phone call. Okay, and it's pretty self explanatory why it's awkward,

0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:56.960
<v Speaker 2>But yeah.

0:14:57.720 --> 0:14:58.240
<v Speaker 5>About it.

0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:01.280
<v Speaker 2>Chris just wanted our heal reaching out to you again

0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:03.840
<v Speaker 2>after having a nice time at the holiday party.

0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:06.600
<v Speaker 1>My god, you're his boss's niece.

0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:08.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, how old are you?

0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:10.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh that's a good question.

0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:13.280
<v Speaker 6>I'm old enough. Okay, now that I'm on the radio,

0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:15.080
<v Speaker 6>I'm not going to spill any more of myself. But

0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:16.760
<v Speaker 6>I'm old enough. Don't worry about that.

0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:18.520
<v Speaker 1>Okay, you're legal to drink.

0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:22.360
<v Speaker 6>Oh of course, come on, he's like, I forgot to

0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:22.640
<v Speaker 6>tell you.

0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:24.320
<v Speaker 3>She's wearing all my little pony stuff.

0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:26.440
<v Speaker 2>It looks like you just got a date to the

0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:28.440
<v Speaker 2>senior prom Chris, congratulations.

0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:31.160
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I now I know why it was so mad.

0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:33.040
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god, I mean I thought I was going

0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:33.600
<v Speaker 4>to get fired.

0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:35.680
<v Speaker 5>I just thought like it was just a general policy

0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:37.640
<v Speaker 5>thing that you know, he was upset about, not that.

0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:38.560
<v Speaker 4>Man is his niece.

0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:41.960
<v Speaker 6>Well, listen, another confession on my end, Like I was

0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:44.360
<v Speaker 6>the one that told him not to fire you, and

0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:46.320
<v Speaker 6>like I really stood up for you and put all

0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:47.440
<v Speaker 6>the blame on myself.

0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:49.520
<v Speaker 4>Oh so thank you.

0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:52.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh wow, dude, for you.

0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:56.440
<v Speaker 6>He told me not to contact you, but I was

0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:58.600
<v Speaker 6>very hesitant about it because I didn't want to go

0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:01.520
<v Speaker 6>against him. But clearly, like you felt the same because

0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:02.280
<v Speaker 6>you found me.

0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:04.960
<v Speaker 3>So I mean maybe this is fate.

0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:06.119
<v Speaker 4>This is fate.

0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:08.800
<v Speaker 3>The chemistry already.

0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:11.360
<v Speaker 1>Wait, your uncle said not to contact him, like he

0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:13.040
<v Speaker 1>doesn't want you to talk to him anymore.

0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:15.760
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, because of course. I mean they have a very

0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:20.160
<v Speaker 6>high profile job and business and I understand that, and

0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:22.280
<v Speaker 6>I wasn't trying to get in the way of that

0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:22.960
<v Speaker 6>at all.

0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:26.680
<v Speaker 2>But uncles don't want their nieces and nephews to contact anybody.

0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:30.280
<v Speaker 1>You can't get But this is Chris's boss, I mean, like, Chris,

0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:31.320
<v Speaker 1>how do you feel about it?

0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:33.360
<v Speaker 5>Well, I mean what I don't know is like if

0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:36.000
<v Speaker 5>we gate and we're on the radio saying we want you,

0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:37.520
<v Speaker 5>is he going to be.

0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:39.120
<v Speaker 4>Cool with that? Well?

0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:41.160
<v Speaker 2>And what if you two don't announce it at all?

0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:42.920
<v Speaker 2>What if you guys just keep it on the d L.

0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:46.600
<v Speaker 1>They're obviously terrible at that.

0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:50.360
<v Speaker 6>Hey, I'm fine with that. Like, I think it could

0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:53.880
<v Speaker 6>be exciting and risque a little bit, like, no, keep

0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:56.440
<v Speaker 6>it a secret and we just take it slow, but

0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:57.720
<v Speaker 6>no one has to know about it.

0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:00.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, just climb up into a Manda's treehouse. No one

0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:01.600
<v Speaker 2>will be able to see what you're doing.

0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:06.680
<v Speaker 6>But I promised, like I wouldn't say anything at all,

0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:07.560
<v Speaker 6>and I'm really.

0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:08.480
<v Speaker 5>Good at keeping secret.

0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:11.240
<v Speaker 6>So if we just I mean clearly we felt something

0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:13.960
<v Speaker 6>and you reached out to me first, and I think

0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:15.159
<v Speaker 6>we should just explore it.

0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:19.480
<v Speaker 5>That's a big risk, Chris, you know, I mean to me,

0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:22.399
<v Speaker 5>it's like we care about each other. We're trying to

0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:24.600
<v Speaker 5>give it a legitimate go. It's not just like the

0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:26.639
<v Speaker 5>first time. We was just more fun getting to know

0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:29.280
<v Speaker 5>each other. So screw it, let's do it.

0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Wow, Bay, does that mean you're gonna tell the boss

0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:35.359
<v Speaker 1>Chris or you're not going to tell me to do

0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:36.160
<v Speaker 1>this secret thing?

0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:39.119
<v Speaker 4>I think we're gonna Wait.

0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:43.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean this is a really sweet holiday story.

0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:46.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure Hallmark is going to use it, but it's.

0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:49.720
<v Speaker 3>Good enough for our radio shows, so let's call it away.

0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:52.440
<v Speaker 3>Congratulations you guys, Thanks guys

0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:57.760
<v Speaker 1>Thanks good luck broking Jeffrey in the morning.
