Hey, I mean, why not double awkward this week, right? And Jeffrey in the morning. We got a brand new awkward Thursday phone call today. I'm sorry it's not the follow-up to Tuesday yet. That will be in a week, okay. It's gonna take a minute to get this fiance on the phone. But but today is a brand new episode that I hope that you enjoy. Uh before we get to it, comments.
Said, I listen to you on an old school radio every morning, commuting to college. Oh, 2017. So a while ago, she's I used to. Never mind. Listened past ten. Read that wrong. But now you're on the
podcast. Now you're here. Yeah, now you're on the podcast. Twenty seventeen you're on the radio. Now you're here with us. I love that. Hit that subscriber button and enjoy your new episode.
When you think of your bucket list trip, I know for Jose it's Japan because of the local culture and the food there.
Yeah. Yeah, the food. You know what? Screw the culture, man. Just give me all the sushi. You know what I'm saying?
All of it though. I'm kidding. For Alexis, it's camus for the culture and the food. Yes. Her hometown.
My hometown. Yes. Yeah,
specifically the Mexican restaurant off Highway 14 after one AM on Thursday nights. It just it's different.
That's culture. But
for one of our listeners, he has the chance to take the trip of a lifetime with one of his co-workers. All expenses paid, if we can give him the right advice.
Oh
And you know that's unlikely. But we're gonna try coming up in your brand new awkward Thursday phone call right after this.
It's awkward. It's Thursday. It's awkward. Thursday. Phone call.
On this show of Apex Carnivores, we love beef. Mongolian beef, Wagyu beef, sometimes even impossible beef.
But
maybe our favorite is office beef.
When
two co-workers aren't quite seeing eye to eye or ribeye to ribe eye. And that's why one of our listeners, Caden, emailed the show, because he's dealing with a slab of juicy grade A office beef, and he wants some help cutting it up.
Every time you say beef, your
voice gets lower.
That's just what happens. That's just what happens. The testosterone The
testosterone comes through. So Caden, we'll get to your beef in just a second. But first something is going on in your office that brought this all about. That's what your email said. So tell us about that.
Yeah, so I work with a good friend of mine named Violet.
Okay.
And every year our office does something called the Olympic office games. Oh,
that sounds kinda fun.
It's a fight to the
death sort of thing.
Oh.
Exactly, right. I
was thinking more you push each other in roller chairs to see if you could make it down the hallway.
Chair races and three legged, you know, all that stuff.
Okay. No casting, Jeff.
Oh, okay.
Have you and what was the woman's name again? I'm sorry.
Violet.
Have have you and Violet worked together for a long time?
Yeah, I wanna say four years.
Oh, it's a while. All right. Is she like your work wife or your BFF at work?
Yeah, we're f we're close friends.
Okay, cool.
Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So they do this every year. It's it's a morale booster, they pick teams and you do all these little games. Okay so these Olympic office games.
And do people in the office get really competitive with it? Like they care a lot about who wins?
No, actually it's like going through cubicles and they create this whole course.
Ah, I did like Jess's idea better.
I would rather do that one.
But yeah, yours sounds more like a physical, actual hopping around the office. Yes. Okay. So Violet wasn't picked for it
and I kinda felt bad
because
she's really good at hopping.
Oh, the knees. So much bounce in those knees.
Why would you feel bad that she didn't get to do the obstacle
course? Well, she just didn't get in in any games this year. It was kinda like uh it was just kinda random bad luck. The names were drawn out of a hat and she wasn't even picked. I see.
I see. I thought it was yeah, someone's secret planning to sabotage her.
Yeah. Alexis and I were looking for more drama than that. But
okay.
But yeah, if if if it's something that she really wanted to do and she doesn't get to, I can understand why her morale would be hurt.
