Last week we had our company Christmas party. I want
to shout out Teresa. Teresa runs like everything in our office.
She kills it so good. It was so much fun.
We went to Derby Lane, which I had no idea
there's a casino in it. I thought that it was
dog tracks, and then they stopped the dogs and because
(00:22):
of that, then the place closed and now it's like
an Amazon facility.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
That's why Amazon always goes over there.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
I thought that's what it is, but no, it's a
full on casino, which, by the way, I was gonna
tell you this is off the air, but I'm gonna
tell you right now, you're done not coming to these
Christmas parties. All right, you gotta go because it is
so much fun. Last honestly, every single year is great.

but also.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Who has the worst.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Because and I hope they don't listen to this, but
you know, we do an afternoon show in Detroit, Michigan.
So basically when we finish, you know, the morning show.
We'll record a show that gets sent to Michigan. I
heard that their company Christmas party is on a Tuesday
(01:39):
night and it's in the office. Boring crazy, right, that
is it?
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Y'all?
Speaker 3 (01:47):

Speaker 1 (01:57):
I don't think it makes it a hold? Yeah, eight

the best? If you believe your company has like one
of the greatest, I'll show you. Alyssa, my fiance. Her
company had like a holiday spread like none other. They
had donut towers, they looked like Christmas trees. They had
(02:20):
a bunch of cinnamon rolls. They had an omelet station.
They did all of that. But you know, to take
one point off of it is it's in the morning
and it's at work. Yeah, I like the whole after
work yea, because everybody Friday.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Yeah, who has a party in the middle of the
work week? I don't.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
I guess the people in Detroit, Michigan. They do it
right in Tampa. What can I say? It was shocking
to me when I heard that because I could tell
like our coworkers were very jealous of what they were, Like,
what did you guys do That looks like a cool
team building thing. Not a team building thing, it's a
(03:04):
company thing. We went to Derby Lane and got the
gamble and drink.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I mean even last year Sat Pete Fairgrounds was pretty
lit and the previous.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Year was the I mean, we do do it big.
I'm not going augh. Food is always amazing.

Oh my god, we got it was that was Electric City.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Hey Alicia, Hey, Alicia, Hey, how are you doing good? Alisha?
Question for you, do you just kind of trying to
read this? Do you hate your husband's company and you're
(03:54):
not exciting about this weekend?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Or are you super pumped for it?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
I know his holiday party was this past weekend and
it was a really nice party. But they could have
given them all their Christmas bonus instead of basically doing
it every year and then not this year and still
doing this elaborate holiday party. Are you sure they all
would have much rather had the Christmas bonus?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
All right, hold one second, So first let's let's restart that,
because I gotta know, do you hate his company?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I don't hate them, but I feel like they could
have done a lot less things and still given all
the employees their Christmas bonus.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
It was messed up.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
So Christmas bonus.
Speaker 2 (04:40):

What was the Christmas party? Though?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I don't want to give away the company, but it
was really nice. It was at Clearwater Beach, and it
was elaborate, and it was very expensive, and they could
use that money to give out the Christmas bonuses. Let's
just say that, did you say your real name?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Because they probably listened. So he won't be fired.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
He can just be like, this is not my wife,
this possibility.
