Who is Chuck Day? Have you ever had an idea - whether it be a planned event, a project or perhaps even a prank - which seemed so great that as you begin to paint the picture in your head you become consumed by making what was a thought a reality? You lose all prior focus and become solely committed to executing this plan so the desired result can be achieved. The sad part to the story is that, more often than not, things don't quite play out the way you may have envisioned or hoped. In some cases, those misguided paths taken result in unanticipated rewards. Such is the case in this tale of Chuck Day.

Before Chuck
Before we get into the specifics of his tale, it is only fair that you get the backstory. At this point you may be asking yourself, "Who is Chuck Day?" Well... the more appropriate question may be: "What is Chak De?" The video below offers the best interpretation I can provide.
In all actually, Chak De simply means "go for it" or "let's do it". A popular slogan that was the concept of a video made my our friend in energy from across the Arabian Sea. Check out the video below. Everything we know and love stems from this video.
Chuck is Born
Now that you are as confused as the rest of us, we can proceed with the good times recently had. Earlier today during a much needed Starbucks run for my superstar of a Wife-slash-Mom, I received a text out of the blue from Cajun Gingerbread Boy that simply read, "Call 972-xxx-xxxx". I question everything already, but being that I was away from work and the extension was recognized as a work number, I replied with "Wha...?". The response I got was literally all I needed to meet the request. Cajun Gingerbread Boy instructed me to "Call the office receptionist. She's a temp". I was able to read far enough into the request to know I was in for a treat. So I dialed up the temp and this text message exchange shortly follwed:

What the...
Poor Man's George Clooney

Just do it and then ask to connect to your extension or whatever
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

I just asked to speak to you and it took her about 45 seconds to transfer me
I could hear her texting while I was on hold
Poor Man's George Clooney

Haha! But what did she say when she answered?
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

"Welcome to Schneider Electric"
What did you get?
Poor Man's George Clooney

Ah man I converted her! She answered mine with "Hello, welcome to Schneider Electricity"
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

Haha. Amazing.
Dude, I got it. She must pay. We gotta prank her.
Call and ask, "Can you please transfer me to Chak De?" 
She will ask, "Who?!?" 
Oh Chuck Day, please.
Anyone who is anyone knows Chuck Day
Poor Man's George Clooney

Haha. Do it.
Then I wil call and ask for him.
Then Mario Dude can call.
Then Mr. Bright Lights and don't forget Cory Matthews.
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

I will once I get home so I can record my call with my wife's phone
Poor Man's George Clooney

Then Kyrie Irving calls in and says, "This is Chuck Day. Any messages for me?"
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

Hahahahaha. Yes!
Let's start a group text. I will initiate the first call.
Poor Man's George Clooney

The Making of Chuck
Short after exiting that text conversation with Cajun Gingerbread Boy I was inclined to do as planned and start a new group message to lay down the tracks. A harmless jolly ole prank that brings cheer to those that lend an ear. Sincere apologies in advance to any stress or grief brought upon the temp. I'd like to think that that our childishness made the time pass faster so she didn't have to wait much longer to spend time with her loved ones this holiday. For that, you're welcome? Okay, so this is the part where one loses all prior focus and becomes solely committed to executing a plan so the desired result can be achieved... and hope for the best...

Congrats! You have been selected by Cajun Gingerbread Boy and I to participate in some holiday fun because you are 1) heartless and 2) totally awesome
There is a temp working the front desk at 972-xxx-xxxx. 
She has been answering the phone with "Welcome to Schneider Electricity"
So she deserves ALL OF THIS.
I will initiate the first call which I will record and post here shortly.
Poor Man's George Clooney

This already has potential....
Mr. Bright Lights

Bahahahaha, I am so ready for this
Mario Dude

We will be calling to speak to Chak De (Chuck Day) throughout the day asking to be transferred. 
She will scramble. Every experience will be different.
At 4pm Kyrie Irving will call asking "Good afternoon, This is Chuck Day, do I have any messages?"
Poor Man's George Clooney
😂
Mr. Bright Lights

That's hilarious
Also who is who in here?
Kyrie Irving

This is Poor Man's George Clooney, Cajun Gingerbread Boy, Mario Dude, Mr. Bright Lights and Cory Matthews
Also, if she can't seem to find Chuck Day's extension - which if she is good at her job she should NOT be able to find it - then use your own so you can listen to yourself giggle after the holiday break.
Poor Man's George Clooney

Oh I can't wait
How will you record?
Cory Matthews

Speaker phone his wife's phone. Record from his.
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

This is Cory. Is 630 Irving?
Cory Matthews

Yup
Mario Dude

Yeah, this is Irving
Kyrie Irving

Maybe everyone consider some sort of business item you are calling about so when Kyrie - excuse me Chuck - calls in she can try to ramble off his clients needs.
We could take it a step further and all act as marketing clients with the hopes that we all get transferred to Miss Popular and she'll just get a bunch of brief holiday greetings. Make someone's day, ruin another.
Poor Man's George Clooney

I'm on board with that
Cory Matthews

Did y'all get the audio?
Poor Man's George Clooney

Yea
Cory Matthews

I really hope she transfers all of us to Miss Popular
Mario Dude

👌
Cory Matthews

Yah. Pretty funny. So Miss Popular didn't know what was going on?
Mr. Bright Lights

She had no idea
She probably thinks I am a total creep
Poor Man's George Clooney

Miss Popular will be like "why the eff is everyone telling me merry Xmas? I'm SO popular!"
Mario Dude

Haha flawless plan
Pick your times before 4pm on when you plan to call
Poor Man's George Clooney

Love it. When she can't transfer you then ask for Miss Popular
I'm calling...
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

How'd it go?
Mario Dude

Yah. We need audio
Mr. Bright Lights

Delayed for a bit
Of course
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

Where is the audio?
Just got a random FB message from Miss Popular, Ha!
Poor Man's George Clooney

Lol!
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

Better get yourself over to Dave and Busters to claim your free gameplay
Mr. Bright Lights

Test recording
Proof of concept
Cory Matthews

So are you up next? If not, I'll go.
Mr. Bright Lights

Go ahead. I'll wait until my boy's nap
Cory Matthews

Done
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

Made from the millworks desk at Lowes
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

Bahahahaha! This is so good
Mario Dude

Awesome
Cory Matthews

I'm standing here, lol, in the Lowes lighting aisle
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

I should call while jogging and out of breath.....
Cory Matthews

Hahaha
Do it
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

I'll do it in about half an hour if Mr. Bright Lights can wait then
Cory Matthews

I'm ready to call whenever, got a pretty good plan
Mario Dude

I, too, am ready to fire when needed
Mr. Bright Lights

So happy when a vision becomes reality
Poor Man's George Clooney

What exactly was the vision?
Mr. Bright Lights

That my belly would hurt
Poor Man's George Clooney

Better spread out the calls
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

I will call in about 15-20 minutes
Mario Dude

Ok, then I'll wait
Cory Matthews

Kyrie, are you still with us? 
You are key. Be ready to collect your messages when it's all said and done!
Poor Man's George Clooney

1:45 Mario Dude
2:45 Cory Matthews
3:45 Me
That work?
Mr. Bright Lights

I'll be ready
Kyrie Irving

👍
Cory Matthews

I guess I'll try again in a few minutes...
Mario Dude

Slight detour only
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

She's either ignoring you or is onto us...
Mr. Bright Lights

Hahahahahah
Poor Man's George Clooney

Hahaha
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

Resulted in this!
Mario Dude

Hahaha
Mr. Bright Lights

Hahaha. Omg! This just keeps getting better
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

Hahahahahah
Poor Man's George Clooney

Miss Popular has to be feeling very special right now
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

You're on deck, Cory.
Mr. Bright Lights

Very appreciated
Noticed
I bet it's blowing her precious mind
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

I hope Cory is working on his fitness
Poor Man's George Clooney

Moral of that story: don't let your cord dangle around guys at the gym
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

Cory Matthews

Hilarious. Who's in the office today
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

Miss Popular liked it
Cory Matthews

Please tell me you hear her paging Chuck Day
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

Hahahahahah. Oh man! 
Mr. Bright Lights, you have to have him paged!!!
Ask her to page the office for Chuck Day to come to the receptionist desk
Poor Man's George Clooney

Haha. I'm in the office but she isn't paging. Should I have him paged??
I might lose it if she does
Mr. Bright Lights

When you call have him paged instead of transferred
Poor Man's George Clooney

She doesn't know how she said
She's calling for help
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

If Miss Popular is out of the office that messes with my plan
Mr. Bright Lights

Oh I love this
Poor Man's George Clooney

Somehow you knew we wouldn't disappoint
Mario Dude

I called as Chuck's boss looking for him
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

Recently??? How did that go?
Mr. Bright Lights

Kyrie, you gotta record on your phone!
Cory Matthews

She doesn't understand the PA
Yo what's funny is someone probably told this girl, "this is the easiest job on earth. I get about two calls a day and here is how u push through"
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

Somebody should call the actual receptionist and let her in on this
Cory Matthews

Better yet someone should hack the PA and sing, "Where is Chuck Day?!?"
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

Someone call The Queen Boss and get the scoop on the PA
Nevermind, I can
Calling now
Mr. Bright Lights, have you called yet?
Poor Man's George Clooney

No
Mr. Bright Lights

Please hold
If we can get instructions it might be funny for you to explain to her how you "think" it works
Poor Man's George Clooney

Nice
Mr. Bright Lights

Or Cajun Gingerbread Boy can call back as his boss again
Poor Man's George Clooney

Even better - Chuck day is a PA pro. Find him and we're all good
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

"I really need to find Chuck Day. I have reason to believe he isn't making the most of his energy. I think this is how the PA works..."
Poor Man's George Clooney

Haha
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

Alright. The Queen Boss is at the office. When she is off the phone I will fill her in and have her stage something to show the temp how to work the PA
Only the temp can ask for Chuck Day with Team Schneider
Mr. Bright Lights, please hold the phone and your laughter
Almost your time to shine
Poor Man's George Clooney

I'm a bit confused how this is all working
Mr. Bright Lights

Call in normally so that you are led to Miss Popular
I'll then have The Queen Boss go tell her she is hearing that Chuck Day needs to be located and will assist with the PA
I'll let you know right before The Queen Boss goes to help so you can hit record on another iPad to record the PA announcement
After the PA announcement, Kyrie can call in as Chuck
Got it?
Poor Man's George Clooney

Got it
Mario Dude

Make sure the overhead speaker is up
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

What's the front desk #
Mr. Bright Lights

xxxx
Poor Man's George Clooney

Eh?
Mr. Bright Lights

972-xxx-xxxx
Poor Man's George Clooney

Ah. Ty
Mr. Bright Lights

Or zero
Kyrie is not responding here. Maybe he's with Chuck
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

Yes, this is Chuck
Kyrie Irving

Did mine 10min ago. Audio coming shortly
Fire when ready for paging
Mr. Bright Lights

In 5m The Queen Boss will have a page go out for Chuck Day
She is dropping off mail then making the move
She will record from her end. Mr. Bright Lights record from yours.
Once that is done, it's Kyrie - excuse me - Chuck Day's time to shine!
Poor Man's George Clooney

Is this your warning or will there be another one that's closer?
Mr. Bright Lights

That's it. You can edit the audio recording later if needed
She just text
RECORD NOW
Poor Man's George Clooney

Not really sure what I'm supposed to do here
Kyrie Irving

Kyrie, at like 4:30 just call 972-xxx-xxxx and say you want to collect your messages for the day
Have a conversation about who called and what they wanted
Then end it with something like, "Ok thanks have a great holiday and make the most of your energy sell sell sell"
Poor Man's George Clooney

Hahaha
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

Easy enough
Kyrie Irving

Just gotta make sure you record it all
From The Queen Boss: 
Poor Man's George Clooney

Go Team Schneider!!!
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

Mr. Bright Lights

All you Kyrie!
Poor Man's George Clooney

Kyrie, let me know if you need my phone for recording
Mr. Bright Lights

We need to get someone to call for Chuck Day again
When she can't find him, ask to leave a message
Kyrie Irving

The fact she never took a message is part of the fun
So you get to pull it out of her. See if she can remember. Make up stuff. 
"Hello, did sanyone call about the global initiative for synergizing growth in numbers?
Poor Man's George Clooney

Get one more call in there so I have something to work with
Kyrie Irving

She's either going to hate this place and never come back or she'll apply this weekend
So Mr. Younikorn should call as his boss again?
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

Wouldn't hurt
Mr. Bright Lights

Ok here we geaux
You're the best
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

Ermagerd...
😹
Mario Dude

😂😂😂
Mr. Bright Lights

Hahahahahahaha
Poor Man's George Clooney

Mr. Bright Lights

Who was Chuck?
That is amazing
Poor Man's George Clooney

Had to been Kyrie. He's a natural
German accent. Priceless.
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

I was not ready for that curveball
Kyrie Irving

Kyrie, I think each person was just as surprised as the other
Mr. Bright Lights

You've never been able to handle the double bounce pass
Poor Man's George Clooney

Neither were we! We locked up when schnoozindoodle answered
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

At least she feels like she accomplished something
With 10 minutes to spare in her day, she now has Chuck Days extension
She'll count that as a win
We can only hope that she leaves a message for the actual receptionist to have Chuck added to the system.
Poor Man's George Clooney

Hahaha beautiful
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

Kyrie, when she said she doesn't have you in the roster you should have went... 
"Standing 6 feet tall weighing in at... ...delivering excellence is Chuck Day!!! Now I'm on the roster"
Poor Man's George Clooney

The best part of this whole thing is that both Kyrie and Hope Day got punk'd while trying to do the punking
Mr. Bright Lights

Someone brought in Ashton
Poor Man's George Clooney

I've at least doubled my value to Schneider as my alter ego is now Chuck Day, Master synergist
Kyrie Irving

Now we will never know who she thinks Chuck is
Joke is on us
Poor Man's George Clooney

If it was anyone other than Hope Day I would've been able to maintain character
I was trying to mess with you guys but since it was "Chuck's wife" I thought I was getting punk'd
Kyrie Irving

Ah... so Hope Day's call actually happened AFTER you called the front desk as Chuck. Nice. 
I missed that
Timing is everything!
Poor Man's George Clooney

"You're the best"
Ahhh... Still laughing
Mr. Bright Lights

I know
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

That was classic
Very clutch
Poor Man's George Clooney

Yeah, and I told her my actual extension so I can mess with one of you
Kyrie Irving

You win.
Great work team.
An email from Rich saying it isn't cool to ask for fake people over the PA would put a bow on it!
Poor Man's George Clooney

👏
Mr. Bright Lights

Hahaha yes it would
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

For our next trick...
We need to all convince Mr. Bright Lights that after the holiday season he should put Christmas lights up outside the Carrolton office and program the lights so that they synchronize to the "What is Chak De" song...
Apply pressure HERE
Poor Man's George Clooney

Gimme an hour
Mr. Bright Lights

Do it!
Mario Dude

I didn't work today but I feel like I worked today
Poor Man's George Clooney

Genius doesn't come easy or everybody would do it
Cajun Gingerbread Boy

Poor Man's George Clooney

Chuck Daly
Mr. Bright Lights

Cajun Gingerbread Boy

Mr. Bright Lights

Mr. Bright Lights

Haha! Now that's making the most of your energy!
Mario Dude

Hahaha awesome!
Kyrie Irving

Outstanding!
Poor Man's George Clooney
