The Wake Up Call with Scotch and Mandy

There’s one person in every office with a candy dish… and somehow everyone knows exactly how often they’re allowed to visit it.

Tank admits he may be overthinking a coworker’s candy bowl, which leads The Wake Up Call into a surprisingly intense discussion about office etiquette, unspoken rules, and whether you’re ever supposed to replace the candy you didn’t pay for. Fargo‑Moorhead listeners chime in with their own hard‑earned wisdom — and yes, the candy dish owner absolutely notices.

Low stakes. High anxiety. Classic office drama.
