Crushes

Tim McClure & Chris DeSantis
About this episode

Tim’s much-maligned reference shelf includes the American Heritage dictionary which defines a crush as:  “a usually temporary infatuation.” This week we help listeners work through the twists and turns of office obsessions. Chris waxes poetic about the rotary phone and the dating scene at Illinois Bell. Plus:  back by popular demand – the word of the day!

Segments in this episode

  • 2Good 2Be 4Gotten in Tulsa- "My boss is hot. Can I? Should I? How do I?”
  • Word of the day:  A noun … 10-letters … defined as “the tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous pattern” … can you guess the word?
  • Daddy Issues in Des Moines - "We are dealing with a perilous paternal paradox”

We want to hear about the drama, the dilemmas, and the conundrums that you face at work! All names will be changed to protect the guilty and innocent.
