1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: So I was reading about like I know there are

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: some companies.

3
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 2: Let me back up a step, where like you know

4
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 2: all the time how everybody's performance is, Like, don't a

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 2: lot of like the big firms do that where they'll

6
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 2: have a they'll have a list up on a wall

7
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 2: and they'll say at the beginning of the year, if

8
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,479
Speaker 2: you're in the bottom ten percent, you're getting fired.

9
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: So you know all year how you're performing.

10
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 2: And if you're at the bottom of that list, you know,

11
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 2: if it's August and you aren't humping and making it,

12
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 2: you're probably gonna lose your job.

13
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 3: It's very transparent and totally objective.

14
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's it's all just performance based.

15
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 2: It's not well it's a little subjective or it's a

16
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 2: little bit here or there. You see how everybody's doing,

17
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 2: and if you're doing great, you're you're towards the top,

18
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 2: the middle, or the bottom, and they know, going in

19
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 2: bottom ten percent every year, I'm making that number up.

20
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: It maybe five percent, twenty percent, whatever it is you're

21
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 2: getting fired.

22
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, could make for a toxic experience or or not.

23
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 3: You think that is what everyone should be doing.

24
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: It's motivating if you want to keep your job. You

25
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: know how you're.

26
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 3: Doing, But what's the metric?

27
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: Though it's sales.

28
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,639
Speaker 3: But what if you're not in sales, Well, then.

29
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: I can't put you in that list. I'll put you

30
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: in another list. Yeah, I don't know subjectively the no.

31
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: No, like like, so I'm reading about I'm reading about

32
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: a Comcast store in Plane Plane, Plainville, Connecticut, and they

33
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: have they keep a performance list on sales and reviews

34
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 2: from like customers and stuff like that.

35
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: Well, they're being sued now.

36
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 4: By a former employee.

37
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, David Figueroa.

38
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 3: Are we supposed to know him?

39
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: No, not at all.

40
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 2: No. A lawsuit against Cast Cable Division. By the way,

41
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: when I get through this, does how does.

42
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: This go on? Or does this go on more than

43
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: I think it does?

44
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 2: A lawsuit against Comcast Cable Division alleges that a store

45
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 2: manager humiliated the lowest performing salesperson each month with a

46
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: strange ritual which some people are now fighting back against.

47
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: The lawsuit claims that the store manager would take videos

48
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 2: of what was going on and ordered employees to also

49
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: participate by taking their own videos and assisting in what

50
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 2: was going on. So at the end of the month,

51
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: at the end of the month. They would say, Hey,

52
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: let's say Kristen. We're all working at the Comcast store, right,

53
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 2: and Kristin had a bad month. So at the end

54
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 2: of the month, our manager what's her name, Miss Peterson,

55
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 2: I think it is her name?

56
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ms Peterson.

57
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 2: She would get all the employees together and they would go, hey,

58
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 2: it's the end of the month. Kristen had a really

59
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 2: bad end of the month. So it's Kristen's turn. Now,

60
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: everybody get ready with your cell phones, because.

61
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: Here we go.

62
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 3: What's gonna happen?

63
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: Well, they duct tape Christen to a chair. Jesus Christ.

64
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 2: Oh, I haven't even started yet. They duct tape Kristen

65
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 2: to the chair. And then let's say Diane had a

66
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: really good years, good month last month, right, So Diane

67
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 2: is the is She's sitting at the top of the ranks.

68
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 2: Kristen's at the bottom. So it's Diane who gets the

69
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 2: pleasure of taking a cream pie and shoving it hard

70
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 2: into her face.

71
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 4: Wow, good old fashioned hazing.

72
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 3: And how long did this go on for? Oh, this

73
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 3: has been going on for a while before the whistle

74
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 3: was blown.

75
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, this has been going on for a while.

76
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: A Comcast store in Connecticut had a policy that the

77
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 2: highest ranked retail sales consultant for the month, Diane, was

78
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 2: instructed by his or her supervisor, Miss Peters In to

79
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 2: tie the lowest ranking sales consultant, Kristen, to a chair

80
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 2: in the back office. They I don't like that they

81
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: use the word assault. However, oh, battery you wanted them

82
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: to use. No, but like when I hear assault, I think, like,

83
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 2: like somebody is like beating you.

84
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 3: This is awful.

85
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 2: They would then quote violently smash a cream pie in

86
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 2: their filing.

87
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 3: No, you want it to explode for the class. Yeah,

88
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 3: but it's to me, it's not as salt. I'm fine

89
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 3: with calling it that, And I think it's battery to

90
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 3: be honest, it wasn't a joke. Isn't assault just a threat?

91
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 4: You're asking the wrong person.

92
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 2: Now, The defendant in this case says defendant did not

93
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 2: inform the plaintiffs. So the guy suing Figueroa says that

94
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 2: they were not informed prior to accept the job of

95
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 2: employment that the Comcast store has a policy of subjecting

96
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 2: their sales consultants to public assaults by coworkers at the

97
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 2: direction of the manager Ms.

98
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: Peterson.

99
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 3: Wait, sorry, is that suggesting that this may be Infinity

100
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 3: or Comcast, whatever it is, this may be more widespread

101
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 3: within the organization.

102
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, no, wouldn't this have come out before?

103
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 3: Like is this a callback to some thing that used

104
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 3: to happen years ago at corporate? And now that this

105
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 3: then satellite stores try to keep up.

106
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: To keep it up.

107
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 2: By the way, if that were the case, then you'd

108
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 2: be like, all right, no, oh, okay, nobody's getting hurt.

109
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 3: I bet you could really tear up the wrists and

110
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 3: then you could easily get a last ration on your

111
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 3: face from the pieplate.

112
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: And you can also get a full belly from the

113
00:05:59,120 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: whip creed.

114
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 2: The lawsuit says that figure or that Comcast was negligent

115
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 2: because it should have known that the store oh. The

116
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: lawsuit says that the defendant in the case, Comcast, was

117
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 2: negligent because it reasonably should have known about the store's

118
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 2: management policies and that the policies could harm employees. Comcasts

119
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 2: failed to properly supervise the Comcast stores management team, allowing

120
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 2: the store management to humiliate employees for the purpose of

121
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: promoting the defendant's revenues and profits. It was a motivator,

122
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 2: and they would keep they would keep like a well, yeah,

123
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't call it that, but they would

124
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 2: keep a board up in the manager's office of like,

125
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 2: how are we on sales? And who's It's essentially the

126
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 2: same thing that like the big firms do.

127
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 3: I'm looking at it. Now, how are we to interpret this?

128
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 1: I don't know.

129
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of emojis, Yeah, but then

130
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 3: you do see a yellow emoji fase that's being pied.

131
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the person at the bottom.

132
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, but what are these numbers?

133
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what they mean? Yeah, I don't know

134
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: what they mean. Does it read worse on paper than

135
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: it is?

136
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 3: Like they had fun with it and now the person's.

137
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 2: Just like if you not well, they did say with Figueroa,

138
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 2: he videotaped people in the past.

139
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 3: Right, he knew and I would try so hard.

140
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: But he was like, yeah, but I needed a job,

141
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: and you know.

142
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 3: Just to be second place. I don't want to be

143
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 3: the one who has to strap the coworker to a chair,

144
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 3: because in real time I would be able to recognize

145
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 3: this is this is not a good look. This is

146
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 3: going to come back to hanas.

147
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 2: Okay, you're you're making it sound like they're chaining this

148
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 2: guy up.

149
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 3: Then don't tie him down, don't tape him to the chair.

150
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 2: I know, but I also don't trust he's not going

151
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 2: to try to block the pie when I hit him in.

152
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 4: The im going to get square in there.

153
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: The Yeah, I mean to.

154
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 2: Put somebody's hands behind their back and just put some

155
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 2: tape on them.

156
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: Big deal.

157
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 3: Let me ask you this, if you heard this was

158
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,760

184
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,800

185
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 2: course you can't do that, but if it happened in

186
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 2: your office, you'd rush down there to see it.

187
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 3: It just sounds like something from another era.

188
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 2: Like, for example, like I'm trying to somebody in sales,

189
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 2: who's getting it? Colin, No, because you know as well. No,

190
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 2: even that blind squirrel caught a nut.

00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: The No, exactly, No.

192
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 2: What's her name? What's her name? Smoot's baby's mother. I

193
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 2: don't know how she's doing. Let's say she's not doing well.

194
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 2: But if somebody sent me a text and said, hey, Fred,

195
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 2: Smoot's baby's mother is getting pied, I'd be like, long.

196
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 3: Break, I'm text back, not here today, see you tomorrow,

197
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 3: question Mark.

198
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: But you know this goes on. It's not pieing, but

199
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: you know this goes.

200
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 4: Some sort of similar hazing.

201
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: No, but it's stop using that word.

202
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 4: It's not.

203
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 3: To use that word.

204
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 2: Well, yes it is. But even even if not tying

205
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 2: it to a very serious story, yes, like that's not hazing.

206
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 3: But even in the wacky world of radio in which

207
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 3: you started in the era, maybe I could see this happening. Amen,

208
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 3: Oh god, ya was there ever anything like this that

209
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 3: you saw firsthand or heard about?

210
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: No, yeah, it's too risky. Even radio knew better.

211
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 2: No, no, they stuff like this only happened if you

212
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 2: did something wrong, like this is just not hitting sales numbers.

213
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 2: But no, like when I started, people were throwing snapple

214
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: bottles at people's heads.

215
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 3: Okay, that's more like anger management issues.

216
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: Oh well that.

217
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 3: Wasn't because it wasn't a regular thing, hied down to

218
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 3: a chair, Hey get the peach.

219
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:00,439
Speaker 1: T No that we didn't have any of the We

220
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: didn't have.

221
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 2: Any of that.

222
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 3: And maybe they still do this. But when it was

223
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 3: a weekly thing to give out awards here.

224
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: Oh the whack of the week.

225
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 3: But weren't there other things too? I feel like there

226
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 3: were a couple of superlatives that were handed out.

227
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 1: Oh like make every moment matter.

228
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 4: Well there, but there was nothing like they never like

229
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 4: the blunder of the week or anything like that.

230
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 3: Tried to pass our trying to pass it off as just.

231
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: Like like lighthearted blooper. Yeah, no that I don't know that.

232

Speaker 1: I don't know.

233
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,599
Speaker 3: And was it objective who got those awards or was it? No?

234
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 2: I think it was just whatever Lamby wanted to do. Well, No,

235
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 2: that's true, Lamb.

236
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 3: It was political sometimes.

237
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: I don't know what his politics were.

238
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 3: No, Like, if you had to make an employee happy

239
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 3: because they were threatened to leave, you would award them

240
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 3: with this that kind of stuff.

241
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,840

Speaker 2: be recruiting people like crazy.

282
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 5: It wasn't the company. It was a terrible company, but Yeah,

283
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 5: they had a very big recruiting wing. They get kids

284
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 5: right out of college, and then they would give kids

285
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 5: like five ten grand for recruiting the friends, so the

286
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:02,079

00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 5: it was very toxic.

288
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 2: Would I be surprised that this goes on a lot

289
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 2: more than we think it does?

290
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,719
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, it goes to every company in one way

291
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 5: or another.

292
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,000

293
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 5: Big person, Yeah, exactly. All right, it's a person who

294
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 5: went into sales and didn't do well and then was

295
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 5: just embarrassed that they weren't doing well, so they had

296
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 5: to make up for it in somewhat.

297
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we got a lot of those, all right,

298
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: very good, very good.

299
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 3: Humiliation is not a good motivator, and the long term

300
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 3: it doesn't pan out. And he said he'd rather get

301
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 3: hit by a pie than get fired.

302
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:42,960

311
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, listen, it's better to get hit with

312

00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:06,880

Speaker 3: a softened pat with salt. When they lift it up

319
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 3: to listen, we'd smash it in their ear. So that

320
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 3: sounds more like hazy welcome aboard.

321
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: It doesn't.

322
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 3: Well, it wasn't tied to their performance, their new hires.

323
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: But that's not hazing. That's funny.

324
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 3: You'd be in the worst trouble because you would be

325
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 3: encouraging this.

326
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: Everybody just agreed.

327
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 2: We'd run down the hallway and watch except for Tyler

328
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 2: and watch smooth Child's mom take pie to the face.

329
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 3: If if that happened, I feel like you have to

330
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 3: call hr Oh my god, you want to be on

331
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 3: the right side of history, or like like Cci, I

332
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 3: go watch her get pied. It doesn't sound like there's

333
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 3: anyone you wouldn't watch.

334
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean that's probably true. Yeah, that's probably true.

335
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 3: Chris writes on Facebook, don't let Puddles pity parties see

336
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 3: this story. And Chris writes that having seen weird Alan

337
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 3: puddles last summer because on the way to the stage

338
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 3: every night, Al hits Puddles with a pie.

339
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: Oh God, call the police. I don't want to be

340
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: on the wrong side of history.

341
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 3: And it is every single show. It's a pretty good bit.

342
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 3: But again it's it's it's done with the consent and

343
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 3: the okay of all parties involved, right, and so is

344
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 3: it at the Comcast or it doesn't sound like that

345
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 3: from the left soon because he's being a karens.

346
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 4: I mean he could have walked out by the way.

347
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: That's one of the arguments. Yeah, he knows that this

348
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: goes on leave. I was told this goes back a

349
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: few years.

350
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 3: But on air I used to make a very dumb

351
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 3: comment a lot when Elliott would do something immature or

352
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 3: of scene.

353
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 1: I would say, that's what she said.

354
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 3: Oh, I would say, Diane, remember you can't do anything

355
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 3: about this because you've tolerated it for so long. And

356
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 3: the lawyer wrote in after me saying that so many

357
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 3: times after over so many years, and told me I

358
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 3: could not be on the wrong side of the law,

359
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 3: Like that's not the case.

360
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: No, but it is a good argument. It is a

361
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: good argument.

362
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:44,959
Speaker 6: Hi.

363
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 3: Oh, now it bothers you.

364
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,959
Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, I'm sorry for twenty five years you laugh

365
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 2: and laugh and laughed.

366
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.

367
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:52,840

376
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 6: had pest control come and it was a kid, maybe like.

377
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 1: Twenty years old.

378
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 6: Well, while we were doing all the sign up, I

379
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 6: was just like talking to him and apparently he it

380
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 6: was like a summer thing. But he was living in

381
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 6: a house with like fifteen other sales guys, I think

382
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 6: maybe one girl. He said that they had an airbnb

383
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 6: next to like these, a house where.

384
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 1: They breed Great Pyrenees, right.

385
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 6: And he said, at the end of the week, whoever

386
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 6: had the lowest sales had to put peanut butter wherever

387
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 6: they could on their bodies and go get licked by

388
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 6: these giant beelm.

389
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 4: Case.

390
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 1: You know that's not true, right, you.

391
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 6: Know that's what he said urban legends.

392
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the surprise party that she didn't know was happening,

393
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 2: and she was downstairs with the German shepherd like that's

394
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 2: all and that's all the same. I think he meant it.

395
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 6: Like that because I think they were all Mormons. I

396
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 6: don't think he meant it.

397
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: On the back of their hand and not their balls.

398
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: Get that out of here.

399
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,920
