Radio Script
Detective [female, flat, snarky voice]: Detective Peters, here. Did you report a case of pre-holiday burnout?
Son [teenager, awkward, changing voice]: Yeah, Mom’s been at the arcade for 3 hours now. She’s playing Street Fighter, and the opponent she chose is Santa.
[Sounds of video game fighting]
Mom: Die, Santa, Die!
Detective: Ma’am, what seems to be the problem?
Mom: If I have to wait on ONE more line, attend ONE more boring office party, hear ONE more annoying Christmas carol ONE more time….[she screams maniacally] BAH HUMBUG!
Detective: [spoken into walkie talkie] Confirmed, we have a holiday emergency. I’m gonna need backup. Quick, get this woman a Peppermint Candy Cane Shake from Wendy’s.
Detective: Ma’am, step away from the video game, and try this shake.
Mom: [sounds of gulping down the shake]
Wow, that was good! I just love the holidays. The glittering lights, the smell of fresh pine, the magic look in my son’s eyes as he opens his gifts…
Detective: Another case closed.
Heal your holiday burnout with a delicious Peppermint Candy Cane Shake—a seasonal treat from Wendy’s. Froothy, sweet, and full of Christmas cheer.
As a special holiday gift to you: buy any shake at Wendy’s and get a free Biggie Fries. For a limited time only.
Mom: Merry Christmas, everyone.
