Speaker 1 (00:00):
Today's phone tap took a little teamwork because one of
our listeners wanted to set up her boss and loss
was in charge of organizing a big meeting for all
the managers in their company, and they even paid to
have it catered, which made it the perfect timing for
his assistant to pull him out of that meeting and say, Boss,
I'm so sorry. But the caterers who just dropped off

(00:22):
the food or on the phone right now and they
say it's an emergency.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
They have to.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Talk to you. You'll find out what happens after that
in your phone tap right now. Hello, Hi, is this
seven right?

Speaker 2 (00:43):
This is him? Who's this? Sorry?

Speaker 1 (00:44):
I'm one of the catering guys. I was just in
your office setting up the meal station for the meeting.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Is it important because I'm actually in the middle of
something right now.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
I'm really sorry to interrupt you. I do think this
is important because one of our employees just quit.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Okay, have anything to do me? No, I'm not sure
what's going on.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Well, they were one of the guys that was helping
prep the meals, and on the way out of the
office he said, oh, I hope they enjoyed the macaroni
and then he did this like evil laugh, and he
told me that he put a large dose of turbolaxatives
in it.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Are you serious right now?

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:15):
So are you sure this is about my catering?

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Yeah, you're catering. We were just in your office. So
you need to put the macaroni away right now and
tell him not to see any of it.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
What do you mean put it back? I can't put
that back. They've already eaten it.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
They've already eaten it. I thought you were gonna let
it sit out for a few hours and eat lunch
at three.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
The shut has lunch at three o'clock. We do it
at twelve or one o'clock.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Like Spaniards do it in Spain. They do like cistas
and like late lunches and stuff. It's really nice there.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Actually, look, stop, you need to deal with the situation
right now. I have no idea what to do. These
people already ate this stuff. What am I gonna do?
I'm like, they're in the other room right now. I'm
trying to be quiet so they don't freak out.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
I'm gonna listen when you end up sprinting to the bathroom.
And by the way, you probably should do that before
everybody else does. Just keep me on the phone.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Are you not gonna keep What the heck are you
talking about?

Speaker 1 (02:02):
I'm just saying I need confirmation that this guy didn't
just make it all up and he actually lacks you.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
You want to hear me on the toilet cut freaking
six freak? Are you man?

Speaker 1 (02:10):
I'm not a freak. I'm just trying to help.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
This is really happening. You're gonna lose your job and
I'm gonna sue your company like that.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Let's just take a breath. Okay, let's not go there.
You know what, there's.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Nowhere else to go, my friend, you know what, take
care of it.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
This could be a good.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Thing that it makes absolutely no sense.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
It's a good thing if you think about it. It could
be like a work bonding experience. Okay, anybody's in the bathroom,
you're all going at once. It's like one of those
trustful exercises. But draw on the toylet'hut just shut up.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
I don't talk anymore.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
You could spin it as like a business slogan thing
like hey, we're boot pals, now, what's wrong with you?

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Man?

Speaker 1 (02:42):
You can set up like a reward system or something.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
She sounded like an idiot right now, Okay, you have
a manager.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
I get it. You don't like the idea. The only
reason I came up with it, though, is because I
just finished this life positivity book by Kanye I don't
care way. Did you know that when he interrupted Taylor
Swift at that award show he just wanted to tell
a knock knock joke. Sorry, is any of this helping?

Speaker 2 (03:01):
No, you're not help No, you're not helping at all.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
I'm trying to be optimistic, like Kanye.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
There is no optimism this. I have to tell everybody
what's going on so they can compare it. You know,
some people could get really sick.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
What if I run to the grocery store and buy
three pounds of shrimp? Wait, want to bring it back?
You feed it to everybody, and then they're gonna blame
everything on the shrimp. I'm not the laxeroni.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
You're gonna Fikilet's get a dumb.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Plan, dude plan, Think about it, man, If all of
your coworkers get explosive diarrhea, they're gonna blame you. No,
you're the one who ordered the food.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
No, you know what, it's not gonna be my fault.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
You don't get it. Chapter fourteen, Kanye says, if you
mess up, blame someone else.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
You need your employee responsible for them. You need to
come back here right now. He needs to come back.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
No one's coming back.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
If you don't want to do the shrimp thing, that's fine.
Let's just blame your coworker, Stephanie. Then have her take
the fall. What she set you up for? This prank
phone call? You know, Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.
I'm jeff part of the radio station that's doing this
phone tap on you. It's just a joke.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Oh my god, you can laugh the hardest freaking right now.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Don't blame me. It was your assistant, Stephanie. She says,
you're really stressed about setting up this meeting, and she
wanted to make you laugh.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Oh my god, why would you do this in the
middle by meeting? Man, This is the worst possible time ever.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
I don't know. I think she thought you might find
it funny. It might help you relax a little.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
No, no, no, no, I really need to laugh. Week
