- 3:42Speaker 3: Oh you're welcome.
- 3:43Speaker 1: One person said that their wife said he had to
- 3:46Speaker 1: come home immediately. Everyone was concerned. Then later he walked
- 3:49Speaker 1: back into work and said his wife was on the
- 3:50Speaker 1: radio and one five hundred bucks because she was able
- 3:53Speaker 1: to convince him to leave work immediately without telling him.
- 3:55Speaker 1: It was the radio. We gotta do that. I just
- 3:59Speaker 1: teed you to leave to do it right now. It's
- 4:00Speaker 1: all that's a J. J ridgbody was John J Ridgelster.
- 4:04Speaker 1: We used to do those all the time. The guy
- 4:06Speaker 1: called out because he got lost in the woods all weekend.
- 4:08Speaker 1: He didn't get back until like four am the next morning.
- 4:12Speaker 1: Somebody called into word said their friend's dog died and
- 4:14Speaker 1: she wasn't She wasn't going to come for her. She
- 4:16Speaker 1: just needed time to herself to process the loss. Your
- 4:19Speaker 1: friends thought they worked from home but had to leave
- 4:22Speaker 1: an online meeting because a squirrel fell down their chimney
- 4:25Speaker 1: and was in their house. Their goldfish was drowning, and
- 4:30Speaker 1: then they walked out before the manager could process the
- 4:33Speaker 1: physics of that statement, so they left. So these are
- 4:35Speaker 1: the funniest excuses to get out of work. They need
- 4:38Speaker 1: to leave work early because their car was low on gas.
