• “He got the power back. And he said, why don’t you prove it to me? …They worked all weekend on their own, you know, pitches.” — Co-host 1 (02:08)

2. Sally’s PowerPoint Gambit and the Fallout

• “He didn’t allow me to give him a presentation. He said, that will be all. And he told me to leave his office immediately.” — Sally (04:41)

7. Preparing to Speak with the Boss On Air

• The hosts set up the upcoming conversation with Sally’s boss, noting none of them know exactly what will be said.
• A moment of levity: when asked if her boss is a “whore” too, Sally quickly replies, “No, he’s a very nice man,” drawing laughter. (06:43)
• Sally stands by her belief that her “personal life is really anybody’s business.” (07:04)

Look, I've Got money here for a raise, but it's not for both of you guys. I can pay one of you. So, like that, they turned on each other.

[Co-host 1]

And he got the power back. And he said, why don't you prove it to me? So they each had the chance to go and try to prove themselves in front of the boss for the race. So they were this united front. Like, wasn't it Thursday night over drinks, they came up with the plan. Friday, they're a united front in the boss's office. But as soon as he says that divided worked all weekend on their own, you know, pitches. And she said she had a better knowledge of PowerPoint.

[Co-host 3]

Got Caddy. I got a better PowerPoint presentation. Cause I know how to do PowerPoint.

[Co-host 1]

Exactly. So she thought hers was gonna be so much better. And they were going in yesterday to pitch for the Rays.

[Radio Host]

Hey, intern. Brandon, will you do me a favor? Will you yell down the hall for Tracy to come back in studio?

[Co-host 2]

Okay.

[Radio Host]

I'm not exactly sure in what order I should handle this.

[Co-host 1]

Okay.

[Co-host 2]

Take Sally. Sally first.

[Radio Host]

Sally has called in, but Sally's boss has called in also.

[Co-host 2]

Sally will explain why her boss is on.

[Radio Host]

Okay, Jeff just explained it to me. I should take Sally first. Okay.

[Co-host 3]

Oh, boy.

[Co-host 2]

Wait, you have trust issues with me?

[Co-host 1]

Well, yeah, to be honest with you, kind of hasn't been the easiest start to the new year, buddy.

[Co-host 2]

Wasn't my fault.

[Radio Host]

Hey, Sally.

[Sally]

Hey, Good morning.

[Radio Host]

Hi.

[Sally]

Hi.

[Radio Host]

Do you know that your boss has called in?

[Sally]

I do now. I had an idea, but, yeah. So I don't really know what's going on, but I can fill you in at least on things on my end.

[Radio Host]

Okay. Please do. So what happened yesterday? You were all fired up. You knew this job was yours. You were PowerPointing it. This was yours to lose,

[Sally]

mine to win. But. Well, all I know is that my co worker, she went in first, as scheduled. And when I walked into my boss's office, I sat down and he said, have you been on the radio and talking about this?

[Co-host 3]

And, oh, no.

[Sally]

I was really surprised and didn't know what to say. So of course it came clean. I'm not going to lie. And I said, yes. And he asked, what station? And I said, why? And he just said, because he wanted to know. And that's all we talked about. And he didn't allow me to give him a presentation. He said, that will be all. And. And he told me to leave his office immediately.

[Radio Host]

Whoa.

[Co-host 3]

That was it?

[Sally]

And now you guys have him on hold?

[Co-host 3]

Your friend totally threw you under the Bus.

[Co-host 1]

Oh, I bet that's exactly what happened.

[Radio Host]

Oh, that sucks. So you have absolutely no idea what he's about to say?

[Sally]

I have no idea. I'm shaking. But

[Radio Host]

did you get a chance to

[Co-host 3]

talk to your friend or your co worker who was buying for the same

[Co-host 2]

who used to be your friend?

[Co-host 3]

Who used to be your friend?

[Sally]

Oh, I. I didn't even look at her. I was so grossed out and. Because I knew something had obviously gone down because. I don't know. I really didn't know she said, wow. So I don't even know if she made stuff up. She probably didn't because she's a lying whore.

[Co-host 2]

Oh, okay.

[Radio Host]

Oh, boy. Well, that's not gonna endear you to the boss right there. So you didn't call her anytime later on in the day and go, how'd it go while you were in there? You just assumed that she sold you out and then. Wow. And didn't talk to her about at all?

[Sally]

How else would he have known about me talking to you guys? I mean, it's just so from that

[Co-host 1]

you changed your name, you didn't say the company.

[Co-host 3]

We can't really call her a liar, though. She technically told the truth, right?

[Co-host 1]

It's true.

[Radio Host]

And we're technically. We don't know if she's a whore or not.

[Sally]

Yeah,

[Radio Host]

I think it's. I think I wish we could rewind to Friday when you guys were, like, you were ready to do this together, shoulder and shoulder. We are a teen there. Strength in numbers. And now she's a lion whore.

[Co-host 1]

And we told you not to, by the way.

[Radio Host]

Yeah, we did give you that advice.

[Co-host 1]

Told you so, btw, Fail.

[Sally]

Learn a lot.

[Radio Host]

All right, Sally, here's what I'm gonna do. I gotta play a couple commercials or I'm gonna be in big trouble. So can you hold on for a couple of seconds? And then we're gonna get your boss on?

[Sally]

Yeah, okay.

[Co-host 2]

Do you think your boss is a whore?

[Sally]

No, he's a very nice man.

[Radio Host]

Is there anything you want to say before we get him on?

[Sally]

I didn't do it.

[Co-host 3]

I didn't do what?

[Radio Host]

How are we going to back you on the. All right, hold on one second. Okay?

[Sally]

Okay.

[Co-host 1]

You know what she wants to say, Burt? I mean, I don't think that my

[Sally]

personal life is really anybody's business.

[Radio Host]

All right, so the boss is on hold right now. Also, none of us have a clue about where he stands on this whole thing. So, sadly, his boss is next. The bird show. Get that Amex gold cart ready. I'm way too tired to cook tonight.
