- 1:36Speaker 3: Lot of it. And since Samantha is having a party
- 1:39Speaker 3: today in the office, I got details from Dale in
- 1:42Speaker 3: regards to you know, like the size and the shape
- 1:44Speaker 3: of the cake. And according to my calculations, there is
- 1:48Speaker 3: no way your team was gonna finish this whole thing.
- 1:50Speaker 3: I'm gonna take my cake and eat it too. That's
- 1:53Speaker 3: a cake joke.
- 1:56Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Dale hired someone to come eat that serve
- 2:00Speaker 2: cake after.
- 2:01Speaker 3: The party when the party's winding down, I kind of
- 2:04Speaker 3: just quietly filled the rain from the back and I
- 2:06Speaker 3: look like I'm an employee there. But nobody knows except
- 2:09Speaker 3: for you and Dale, that I'm a caker.
- 2:12Speaker 2: I've never heard of this before.
- 2:13Speaker 3: If you're worried, I just take the cake and then
- 2:16Speaker 3: I eat it in my car, just in the front seat.
- 2:19Speaker 1: It's no big deal.
- 2:20Speaker 2: This is just like the strangest thing I've heard in
- 2:23Speaker 2: a while. I just I'm surprised Dale didn't talk to
- 2:25Speaker 2: me about anything.
- 2:26Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm surprised too. I thought Dale would have told
- 2:29Speaker 3: you before I called. He gave me your number and
- 2:31Speaker 3: just said to talk to you. You're the coordinator.
- 2:34Speaker 2: Yeah, I do the birthday parties in the office.
- 2:36Speaker 3: Oh good, okay, So then what time is do I
- 2:38Speaker 3: show up around one pm? Because I have to actually
- 2:41Speaker 3: eat a quarter sheet of butter cream across town by
- 2:43Speaker 3: two fifteen, So I'm trying to stack my day.
- 2:45Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. How much cake do you eat? Well?
- 2:48Speaker 3: I mean I do it for a living, so it's

- 2:52Speaker 3: cakes by seven pm on a bad day, three and
- 2:56Speaker 3: a half.
- 2:57Speaker 1: But that's a bad day.
- 2:58Speaker 2: It just doesn't seem like someone should be eating that
- 3:02Speaker 2: much cake.
- 3:02Speaker 3: And I'm it takes a special talent to eat as
- 3:05Speaker 3: much cake. I actually have a journal, a cake journal.
