Speech, Tuesday, November 24, 2015
When the students came into the Danger Room, Josh was on hold with his airline on his real phone. "I'm on hold," he told them. "I'm in a hellish hold world of holding. But since this is the holidays, get used to it."
He pointed to three phones. "Okay, these are linked to the computer in here, don't ask me how, and will send you through three separate holiday hell scenarios. Garik, your flight has been cancelled and if you don't show up this year, Grandma is going to give your portion of the inheritance to Embarassing Butt Disease Research, where they will put up a huge building with your name on it. Your job is to get on a new flight. Anders, you have gotten completely lost getting to your friend's sister-in-law's house even though you swore you knew where it was." He pointed to the phone. "You need to get directions without admitting how very, very wrong you were. And Kathy, you forgot to defrost the turkey until the day of Thanksgiving. You are talking to the Butterball hotline to see if there is anything you can do to save Thanksgiving or if you're going to be the family joke for the next thirty years. Okay? Okay!"
And with that, Josh went back to listening to hellish hold music.

Re: Make your calls!
His friend didn't seem entirely convinced, but gave him the directions anyhow.
