• 9:33
  Speaker 2: pro shop.
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: You know, you don't need tickets to the show to
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: shop for the merch.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I have to say there was a very long line. Oh, well,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: of course there was.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Get there early.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Get there early.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Get there early. Maybe you'll see Mikey V.
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: Meantime, Olivia and Chapel Roan were on with Zane Lowe yesterday,
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: and they talked about the making of their new song.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: When I wrote Expectations initially, it was kind of like
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: a challenge to myself.
• 9:59
  Speaker 9: I wanted to write a mantra song. I feel like
• 10:01
  Speaker 9: lots of my songs are like, this is how I feel, blah, blah, blah.
• 10:03
  Speaker 9: But I wanted to be like, I want to sing
• 10:04
  Speaker 9: this song every night, and it's like, you know, it's
• 10:07
  Speaker 9: like Kendrick Lamar, like, sit down, be humble. It's like,
• 10:10
  Speaker 9: it gets in your brain, you know what I mean? Like,
• 10:12
  Speaker 9: it's a mantra.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: And so, when I made the song, honestly, I was
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: really inspired.
• 10:17
  Speaker 9: By kind of chapel and like the attitude and swagger
• 10:21
  Speaker 9: that she had. And so, um, I think I probably
• 10:23
  Speaker 9: played it for you while we were like in the
• 10:25
  Speaker 9: middle of making the record too. Um, and, uh, it
• 10:28
  Speaker 9: always like felt sort of inspired by you and your
• 10:32
  Speaker 9: songwriting style. So, um, yeah, I was, I was so
• 10:35
  Speaker 9: stoked when she, when she agreed to be on it,
• 10:37
  Speaker 9: it was a dream come true.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: At least you've been watching the music video all morning.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: Could be the best music video I've ever seen. They,
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: they do a hot take on like Hollywood squares, family food,
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: wheel of fortune. Um, like old school and chapel has
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: her family at family, you know, for family feud. And
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: then obviously Olivia has hers.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: It's so cute. So definitely check it out.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: In the interview, they also talked about their friendship together.
• 11:01
  Speaker 9: I feel so lucky to have chapel in my life.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, over the course of the years, we've known
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: each other.
• 11:05
  Speaker 9: I think she's helped me so much. I think this
• 11:07
  Speaker 9: is an insane industry to navigate and like such a,
• 11:09
  Speaker 9: such a weird way to grow up. And so I
• 11:12
  Speaker 9: think having her as, as a resource and like a
• 11:14
  Speaker 9: support system and confident has been insanely helpful. So yeah, Yeah,
• 11:19
  Speaker 9: and now we have a song together, so it's like
• 11:21
  Speaker 9: cherry on top.
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Olivia, yesterday also looking back at her Daisy Chain
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: Festival and looking ahead to possibly next year's.
• 11:29
  Speaker 9: It was one of the most meaningful experiences of my
• 11:30
  Speaker 9: whole life. And I'm not even just saying this because
• 11:34
  Speaker 9: she's on the call, but having Chapel be there and perform,
• 11:37
  Speaker 9: as you said, for zero profits, 100% of the profits
• 11:40
  Speaker 9: going to charity was just... it was really heartening and
• 11:43
  Speaker 9: it really made me feel really proud to be part
• 11:45
  Speaker 9: of this artistic creative community that like cares about the
• 11:49
  Speaker 9: world and cares about their audience. And, um, yeah, I, uh, I, uh,
• 11:54
  Speaker 9: I'm really excited to keep going. I'm like planning next
• 11:57
  Speaker 9: year's right now. And, um, yeah, it's just, it's just
• 12:00
  Speaker 9: very meaningful to me.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: She's such a good person, right?
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Perform about like a good person.
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: And because of the timing, her show last night, the

  Speaker 6: a turn and two blocks later, I am deep in
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: the hood. I went from the waterfront to the hood.
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: That can happen in Miami. So I'm jogging and I'm
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: looking ahead. And there's a car up on the sidewalk
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: facing me, but on the other side of the street.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: I get near the car. All of a sudden, four
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: doors flip open. Four guys get out of the car
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: and come over. Start saying, what are you doing to

• 19:28
  Speaker 6: And I remember the words vaguely. He ended with the
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: gun near my head. And he said, I'm going to
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: let you live.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Okay. Is this a real story?
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: It's 100% real. I told the story as it happened.

• 19:43
  Speaker 6: after it happened.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: When I got back to the hotel, I don't drink

  Speaker 6: So it's National Bosses Day, and it got us thinking, gee, bosses,
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: good bosses, bad bosses.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: People have been sending talkbacks.
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: Did you have a bad boss? Do you have a
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: bad story? You can be anonymous if you want to
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: send us a talk back or call us at 877-617-1108.
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: The other question is, what would be better, having a
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: bad boss but really good pay or a really good
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: boss but really bad pay? And Justin, you said you
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: had a boss story to beat all others.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, I do. I definitely do. So I worked in
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: a restaurant for many years. We had a new general manager,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: a woman that had started, and she was okay. I
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: didn't have any problems with her. But this one particular night,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: I had gone home. My shift was over. So there
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: was another cook, a server, and this general manager left
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: in the restaurant. And shortly before closing time, all of
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: a sudden... There was panic because there was smoke coming
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: out of the back room. So this general manager got
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: the other two out. They ran out. They called the
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: fire department. The fire department came. They put it out. Luckily,
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: it was a small fire, but they put it out
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: before it spread. They did a little investigation there, and
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: they could tell that it was intentionally set. And it
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: came from the back office where the manager was. And, well,
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: they sat down with the manager and the other two
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: people there, and the manager folded and admitted that she
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: set fire. the restaurant on fire.
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: What?
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Because she was so disgruntled.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: Oh, my gosh.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: And she wanted to go home.
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's scary.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: So she set the restaurant on fire.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: That's scary.
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: So she had a bad boss and decided to burn
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: the business down.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Apparently.
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: Whoa.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she was not happy with the restaurant.
• 22:57
  Speaker 10: Wow.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: And that was her solution to burn the place down. Now,
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: where were you when the flames were shooting? I had
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: left for the day. My shift was over. Oh, thank God.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: But you know what really sucked? Obviously, the fact that
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: she tried to burn the place down. But I had
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: to go in the next day. We had to throw
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: everything out. Oh, yeah. All of the food, all of
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: the cookware, everything had to go.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: You don't get the smoke out.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: It was all tainted.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:20
  Speaker 9: Wow.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Beat that story. I could have killed you.
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: That's a horrible boss.
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Also, if you have a good story, you can also
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: leave a comment on the Kiss Facebook page. Yes. We
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: posted the question there. It's National Bosses Day. We want
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: to have some good boss stories. You guys have any
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: good crazy boss stories?
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: I had a really bad boss for a very long time,
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: but I can't remain anonymous, so I'll just let it go.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Okay. Well, thank you for sharing, Bill. Is that this guy?
• 23:50

  Speaker 2: bad bosses out there that really treat people like total crap. Oh, yeah.

  Speaker 2: We're definitely Top 40. I want to.
• 24:39
  Speaker 10: Give a shout out to Kristen, the best boss, always
• 24:43
  Speaker 10: willing to lend a hand, always has her door open,
• 24:45
  Speaker 10: and always willing to listen.
• 24:48
  Speaker 11: Thanks, Kristen.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can praise your boss too. It's National Bosses Day.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: I'm going to do that. I'm going to like go
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: out on a positive here.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: Like I had two incredible female bosses like when I
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: was sort of coming up in my 20s when I
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: was in PR. So shout out to Lynn and shout
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: out to Lori. They were amazing. And they really honestly
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: were like created. They gave me the tools. And I
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: just want to thank them immensely. And they were like
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: such good role models.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: That's what makes a great boss. Supportive.
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: Treats everybody fairly.
• 25:19
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Doesn't play favorites.
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: Thinks more about what they can do for you versus
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: what you can do for them.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Sharing their knowledge.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah. The problem is that people get into power that
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: shouldn't be in power. You know, they get on power trips.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: They think because they think they own you, essentially. Yeah.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: When you don't, just treat everybody good.
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Lisa, the Lynn you're referring to, is that Lynn Courtenhouse?
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, just starting out, like in my 20s, is that
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: such a formidable time, like in your career and stuff
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: like that.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: And coach, my boss, Lori, so.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: So did Lynn or Lori try to burn the place down? Nope.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: It never happened.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: I was just wondering.
• 25:57
  Speaker 8: I work for a group therapy practice, and while my
• 26:01
  Speaker 8: boss is always nice to me, it's because she has.
• 26:04
  Speaker 14: Favorites, and I'm one of them.
• 26:06
  Speaker 11: But I don't like it.
• 26:07
  Speaker 17: Because I have seen how she treats others, and she
• 26:11
  Speaker 17: screamed and yelled at my coworker the other day over
• 26:14
  Speaker 17: something she didn't do.
• 26:15
  Speaker 7: And let's just say I won't be.
• 26:19
  Speaker 17: Celebrating her today.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Not celebrating her on National Bosses Day. It's okay. You
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: don't have to.
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: No.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: We'll take the good and the bad. Everybody has a boss. Yeah,
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: somehow we're usually entertained by the bad. We like the bad.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: It's just.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Horrible bosses.
• 26:35
  Speaker 11: Mine was the worst. I got a dream job as
• 26:39
  Speaker 11: a hospice nurse team lead and loved it so much
• 26:44
  Speaker 11: and got a great review, got a raise after six weeks.
• 26:47
  Speaker 11: Just this unbelievable review and then... Three weeks later, the
• 26:52
  Speaker 11: boss fired me.
• 26:55
  Speaker 12: It was awful.
• 26:57
  Speaker 11: And it was, I think, due to jealousy. I don't know.
• 27:00
  Speaker 12: Devastating.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Thanks. That's tough. Why are you laughing?
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Why are you laughing, Billy?
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: What is wrong with you? What is wrong with you?
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: What is wrong with you? What is wrong with you?
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: What is wrong with you?
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: What is wrong with you?
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: What is wrong with you? Oh, my God. You're gone.
• 27:24

• 27:46
  Speaker 6: guy who invented Kiss 108, Richie Balzbaugh, Still lives in
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: the area, by the way, the best boss I ever had.
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: I can tell you I would not be in this
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: business today if it weren't for his leadership and his
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: trust in what I wanted to do.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: That's amazing.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: So, Richie, if you're out there, shout-outs to you. Let's
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: go to Kara in Plymouth. Kara, good morning.
• 28:06
  Speaker 14: Good morning.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: What have we got? Good boss, bad boss story?
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: What?
• 28:10
  Speaker 14: I've got a bad boss story.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we love that.
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: Go ahead. So, I was 22.
• 28:15
  Speaker 14: I was very naive. Let me just start by saying that.
• 28:19
  Speaker 14: And I worked at a liquor store temporarily, and my
• 28:22
  Speaker 14: boss would ask me to give him back rubs.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, my goodness.
• 28:26
  Speaker 9: Oh, boy.
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: That is really, really bad.
• 28:30
  Speaker 14: It still gives me the creeps today, and it's 20
• 28:34
  Speaker 14: years later.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: You didn't give him back rubs, did you?
• 28:38
  Speaker 14: Well, I did the first time because, like I said,
• 28:40
  Speaker 14: I was very naive. It was like a shoulder rub,
• 28:42
  Speaker 14: and then I felt disgusting the entire day and night
• 28:45
  Speaker 14: and everything.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: So let me get this straight, Cara. He said to you,
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: could you come in my office, please? I could use
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: a back rub. Yes. Wow. That's so old school. It is.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: And then, wait, did he keep asking you?
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he did.
• 29:01
  Speaker 14: So then the next time I just said, No, I can't.
• 29:05
  Speaker 14: I have to go stop the shelves. You know, I
• 29:07
  Speaker 14: just kept making excuses, and I ended up quitting shortly
• 29:10
  Speaker 14: after that.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Okay. Good one, Kara.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 29:14
  Speaker 10: Nothing says good job like a firm, open palm slap
• 29:17
  Speaker 10: on the behind.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: The 1960s. It's going to marry Worcester. Mary, good morning.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: Give us a good one. Let's go, Mary and Worcester.
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: Yes, good morning, guys. First of all, I want to
• 29:30
  Speaker 7: say I love your show.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: It's awesome. Thank you.
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: And it's a bad boss story.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: I had been in my business for, oh. 40 years,
• 29:41
  Speaker 7: and I got nothing but great reviews. I got a
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: fantastic review five weeks before any of this happened. And
• 29:48
  Speaker 7: then two days before it happened, my boss's boss says, hey,
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: you're doing a great job. Then they call me in,
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: and with no apparent reason, you're gone.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: You're not good anymore. How many days after your rave
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: review were you let go?
• 30:04
  Speaker 18: It was five weeks.
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: And then two days prior, my manager, my boss's boss said, hey,
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: you're doing a great job. We love working with you.
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: And then suddenly everything fell apart.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: Did they give you a reason? They trumped up some reason.
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: It was absolutely BS, really.
• 30:20
  Speaker 7: They gave me no evidence. They gave me nothing to fight.
• 30:23
  Speaker 7: They gave me no warning. No verbal, no written, no nothing.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: Just, hey, by the way, you're gone. How are you
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: doing now, by the way?
• 30:31
  Speaker 14: I'm doing fantastic.
• 30:32
  Speaker 10: Okay. See that?
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Everything happens for a reason. That's what they say. Let's
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: go to Josh. He's on the phone in Revere. Josh,
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: go ahead. Tell us.
• 30:40

  Speaker 5: This did not.
• 31:59

• 32:30
  Speaker 17: Hi, everyone.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: I have a great bad boss story. I had a
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: boss who got really mad at me because I did
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: something really, really basic and And he sat me down
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: at the table and I started to say, I think,
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: and he pointed his fat finger in my face and
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: he said, you don't think you work for me and
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: I will do the thinking for you.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: I left three weeks later.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: Wow. Boy, we've heard that before. You worked for me.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: You never want to hear that.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: No, that was... You worked for me.
• 33:02
  Speaker 10: Turn it off!
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness. Those words never want to come out
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: of someone's mouth. Yeah, well, people get into power and
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: they just want to control people.
• 33:12
  Speaker 17: They do.
• 33:12
  Speaker 9: Wow.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, some people should not be bosses at all.
• 33:15
  Speaker 12: When I was 17 working at Dunkin',.
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: My dad died.
• 33:20
  Speaker 12: In the morning before my shift, and I told my
• 33:22
  Speaker 12: boss what happened. And he said, so you're not coming in?
• 33:27
  Speaker 16: And then I went in the next.
• 33:29
  Speaker 12: Day and put my two weeks in, and he goes,
• 33:31
  Speaker 12: you're not going to start crying, are you? Yikes.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: There are some really weird people out there. Let's go
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: to Shana in West Roxbury. My phones are hot this morning. Shana, Shana.
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: Hi, Shana.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Shana, good morning. What have you got?
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: Good morning.
• 33:50
  Speaker 16: I actually worked for a company for 20 years. The
• 33:53
  Speaker 16: boss that I loved ended up leaving and I got
• 33:56
  Speaker 16: stuck with a terrible boss. He called me on a
• 33:59
  Speaker 16: Friday night at 730 to fire me over the phone.
• 34:03
  Speaker 16: And it was five days before Christmas. He told me, oh,
• 34:06
  Speaker 16: and you won't get paid until after the holidays. I
• 34:10
  Speaker 16: realized that. Because they were in New York and we
• 34:13
  Speaker 16: were in Boston. In Massachusetts, you've got to pay everything
• 34:17
  Speaker 16: owed the day that you fire somebody. I was able
• 34:23
  Speaker 16: to get paid by that Tuesday, but it was absolutely horrible.
• 34:27
  Speaker 16: It was like he took happiness in firing me the
• 34:30
  Speaker 16: Friday before Christmas.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Yeah, that's one of the worst you
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: can do. You hold it off for a week or two.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: You know, get through the new year. Yeah.
• 34:39
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: The day before the holidays. Oh, please. Well, and then
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: there's that.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: What do you say?
• 34:50
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah.
• 34:50
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 34:52
  Speaker 17: My brother passed away unexpectedly eight years ago. And my
• 34:56
  Speaker 17: boss at the time had asked me three days after
• 34:59
  Speaker 17: he passed when I was going to be back in work.
• 35:03
  Speaker 17: And I, She said that everybody is relying on me
• 35:07
  Speaker 17: and that I can't be out too long. We hadn't
• 35:09
  Speaker 17: even had his funeral yet.
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: Oh, boy. That's terrible.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't put that kind of pressure on somebody.
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: No.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: Their job, you know? You really can't. By the way,
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: we have this question up on the Kiss When I
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Wait Facebook page.
• 35:19
  Speaker 7: Uh-huh.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: I like it. A lot of people are shouting out
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: their bosses and tagging them in the comments.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: Like good bosses?
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good bosses.
• 35:26
  Speaker 10: Oh, good.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty cool. And then other ones, you know,
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: they had a manager that framed them for stealing money.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: You know, the bad ones.
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: Oh, my goodness.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: There's some really long ones. Oh, God, crazy. We can't
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: get to everybody right now, but we do the wrap-up
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: at 940. So send your talkbacks in now. We'll get
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: to those when we wrap up the show. And say
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: goodbye on a Friday. Oh, man, terrible bosses. I used
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: to intern for this guy. And let me tell you,
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: if you messed up something with the muffins, oof, look out.
