<v Speaker 1>Jerry, Katy and Josh one hundred.
<v Speaker 2>Dismissa came in from Amy.
<v Speaker 3>She says, Hey, I got a show. Wants to know
<v Speaker 3>Segma for you? Thanks Amy. She says, I'm single, been
<v Speaker 3>going through a bit of a fun phase. Let's just
<v Speaker 3>say I use Tender more than Instagram and she put
<v Speaker 3>wink wink, and there she goes on to say, a
<v Speaker 3>couple of months ago, I matched with a guy named Ethan.
<v Speaker 3>It was a no strings attached situation and as Jeremy says, quote,
<v Speaker 3>we smashed.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I do say that like a lot, she said.
<v Speaker 3>Then she wrote, Haha, my little fleeing with him lasted
<v Speaker 3>a couple of weeks and then I moved on. Never
<v Speaker 3>really learned much about him except stuff we can't talk about,
<v Speaker 3>if you know what I mean. Amy's settled down anyway,
<v Speaker 3>so she's fine getting her freaking on with this Ethan guy.
<v Speaker 3>Fast forward to last Thursday. My company just moved into
<v Speaker 3>a new building and my boss was there giving his
<v Speaker 3>family a tour. His wife comes in, one son comes in,
<v Speaker 3>a second son comes in and get this, that was Ethan.
<v Speaker 4>No, no, no.
<v Speaker 3>We locked eyes and both completely froze like we'd seen
<v Speaker 3>a ghost. It was super awkward and I couldn't even focus.
<v Speaker 3>She goes how embarrassing. OMG, here's the issue, though, every
<v Speaker 3>time I see my boss I feel like I'm hiding
<v Speaker 3>the world's most awkward secret. I have no idea if
<v Speaker 3>Ethan has said anything to him. I feel weird even
<v Speaker 3>talking to my boss now, because does he know how
<v Speaker 3>much of a houchie mama I was with his son?
<v Speaker 2>That's the best line in this entire message. Let me
<v Speaker 2>read it again.
<v Speaker 3>Does he know how much of a houchie mama I
<v Speaker 3>was with his son? She goes on and says, what
<v Speaker 3>do you guys think I should do? Pretend it never
<v Speaker 3>happened and hope it gets never gets brought up. Should
<v Speaker 3>I reach out to Ethan and tell him just a
<v Speaker 3>hush hush so it doesn't affect my work life? Or
<v Speaker 3>do I need to start mentally preparing for a new job.
<v Speaker 3>And then she says, or should I just hook up
<v Speaker 3>with him again?
<v Speaker 2>Let me know? Why not? Let me know.
<v Speaker 3>I want to do something about this this week and
<v Speaker 3>would love your input. And that is from listener Amy,
<v Speaker 3>who wrote in a big, old long message on our
<v Speaker 3>Instagram account. So what do you think Amy should do?
<v Speaker 1>Uh?
<v Speaker 3>Feel free to comment.
<v Speaker 2>This is what it's all about.
<v Speaker 3>Three O three six nine one one mix three oh
<v Speaker 3>three six nine one sixteen forty nine. I'll get you
<v Speaker 3>in the studios for show wants to know what an
<v Speaker 3>awkward situation to be?
<v Speaker 2>I fling with Ethan.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and every time I would look at my boss,
<v Speaker 4>I think they knew, right, wouldn't you wouldn't you just
<v Speaker 4>rack your brain thinking like did he tell him, like, well,
<v Speaker 4>how much trouble am I going to get in?
<v Speaker 3>Well, you can't really get into any trouble. I mean,
<v Speaker 3>what can your boss do about that? It's like you
<v Speaker 3>just had a relationship with his grown son.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but they can look at you different, and maybe
<v Speaker 4>it could jeopardize any kind of advancement you have. I
<v Speaker 4>mean that's not legal obviously, but it could happen.
<v Speaker 3>Or the son would be like, she's the best, Dad,
<v Speaker 3>we dated for a little bit, and you should promote
<v Speaker 3>her and do everything, because that's what it's dating.
<v Speaker 4>Either they were just cooking up.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but again, is the son talking to the dad.
<v Speaker 3>You're not going to say, Dad, I smashed like crazy.
<v Speaker 3>You're just going to say, hey, I went out with
<v Speaker 3>her a few times and she's a great, great person.
<v Speaker 2>You would hope, you would hope that's what they said.
<v Speaker 4>But again, there's no rhyme or reason how these things
<v Speaker 4>work out.
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know. I'd be a little worried.
<v Speaker 3>It's awkward.
<v Speaker 2>For sure, She's generally awkward.
<v Speaker 1>I had a little bit of an experience with that
<v Speaker 1>where it was incredibly awkward. And you don't know what
<v Speaker 1>to do or how to act around a boss like that,
<v Speaker 1>just because you don't know what they know. And that's
<v Speaker 1>the scariest thing is you don't know what they know.
<v Speaker 3>This is a unique situation. I mean, did you ever
<v Speaker 3>fool around with a boss's I didn't know.
<v Speaker 4>Well, I fooled room with somebody that I worked with
<v Speaker 4>and they were related to them, right, So it wasn't
<v Speaker 4>necessarily my boss, but it was somebody I worked with,
<v Speaker 4>and I never told them.
<v Speaker 2>I kept it to myself.
<v Speaker 4>I kept this awful secret to myself because I didn't
<v Speaker 4>want them their opinion of me to change. And here's
<v Speaker 4>the thing is, like we don't really talk anymore. We're
<v Speaker 4>still connected on social media, but every time I see
<v Speaker 4>their name or profile roll up, it gets the shivers.
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, oh, I'm a bad person, like, no, you're not.
<v Speaker 3>You're just having fun when you were young and single
<v Speaker 3>and who cares.
<v Speaker 2>It makes me.
<v Speaker 4>Feel like that because it's a secret I'm keeping from them.
<v Speaker 4>So I just like, if you're looking at holding on
<v Speaker 4>to that, it might do some damage.
<v Speaker 2>Was a Chelsea.
<v Speaker 3>Somebody wrote in and said, talk about the ultimate bomb
<v Speaker 3>to drop when you quit, Like if you're walking out
<v Speaker 3>of that place.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well I slept with your son, right boom mic drop.
<v Speaker 3>The whole office romance thing is just so touchy in general.
<v Speaker 3>You know, it is sneaking around and seeing if anybody knows.
<v Speaker 2>And it's fun. Yeah, it's only fun.
<v Speaker 3>I mean I married my office romance.
<v Speaker 4>But that is part of the Alora's people might find out,
<v Speaker 4>so it makes.
<v Speaker 2>It interesting fun.
<v Speaker 4>We got this message from Wade, and this is a
<v Speaker 4>I guess a different way to look at it, but
<v Speaker 4>he said this happened to me. I had a short
<v Speaker 4>relationship with my boss's daughter, of course, not knowing he
<v Speaker 4>was her dad. Once I figured it out, I tried
<v Speaker 4>to get it out into the open, thinking it would
<v Speaker 4>put me at ease. But turns out my bos didn't
<v Speaker 4>like me to begin with and was looking for a
<v Speaker 4>reason to get rid of me.
<v Speaker 2>Wait et if him won Wait, don't ever do that. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>don't tell on yourself.
<v Speaker 3>See Wade getting onto his Outlook account at all staff,
<v Speaker 3>You'll never guess what I did dot dot who I did? Wade, No,
<v Speaker 3>no way, no
