Show of hands in the room. Who here has been held for ransom? Not me. What? How about kidnapped? No. You're holding your hand up. Is that count? No, I think he just wants us to put our hands. Oh, follow suit. I mean, I was by choice. No. That's not kidnapping. No. That's willingly going with someone. No, I paid. I paid for it. Oh, God.

So you didn't know what it. No, I paid.

I paid for it.

Oh, God.

So you didn't know what it was happening, but you knew it was going to go.

I knew what was happening. But the henchmen honestly weren't quite what I was hoping to get. So I did ask for a partial refund. Too soft of hands. Yes. But the reason I bring it up is because we're dealing with a less serious emergency experience.

Okay. Involving one of our

listeners who says he is stuck

in a foreign country and the only

person who can help him won't

answer her phone.

Oh. What?

And even worse, it's his girlfriend.

Yikes. So we're

going to try to step in and help in a special

international version of the awkward Tuesday phone call right after this.

It's awkward.

It's Tuesday.

It's awkward Tuesday phone call.

We got an emergency email this morning from the Great White North.

And it wasn't. We can you explain that for people that don't know? It's not a Game of Thrones reference. No, it's from Canada. Oh, okay. The thing is, it wasn't from an actual Canadian. It's an American named Corey who says he's stuck. In Canada? I really don't know a lot of the details here. So, Corey, from here on out, Brooke is going to be your official hostage negotiators. So, Brooke, go for it.

I mean, I'd maybe just stay. Yeah. It is a very lovely country. Honestly, it could be better.
