Speaker 1: Mojo in the morning.
Speaker 2: I mentioned this on the show yesterday that we have
Speaker 2: a new boss.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: So our new boss is Kim Blockhamp who Kim worked
Speaker 2: with Kim from many many years. Kim started here and
Speaker 2: you know, as a sales manager and then moved to
Speaker 2: the director of sales and now is uh the market president,
Speaker 2: I believe is what they call them for Detroit.
Speaker 1: So yesterday, hanging in studio here.
Speaker 2: And getting some kind of editing work done and just
Speaker 2: kind of honestly slow walking leaving the station, and Kevin
Speaker 2: and I are in the studio. Kim comes walking in
Speaker 2: and keV did one of those whole things quiet Kim's
Speaker 2: coming right here.
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2: So Kim walked into the studio because we have this,
Speaker 2: you know, beautiful window here and people can kind of
Speaker 2: like see that we're still here. And she comes walking
Speaker 2: and it was the first time that I had an
Speaker 2: opportunity to see her and talk to her since she's
Speaker 2: got this new title and stuff. And she asked a
Speaker 2: question that was really interesting. And I want to bring
Speaker 2: this up to the listeners because I want you to
Speaker 2: participate in this. So Kim, now, as the boss said,
Speaker 2: is there anything that you guys want or need here
Speaker 2: that can help you do your jobs better. And when
Speaker 2: she said that, I was like, hold on, let me.
Speaker 1: Pull off my pad. The score.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it got me to a point where where I go,
Speaker 2: I can't think of anything.
Speaker 1: But I have so many things that I really wish
Speaker 1: that everyone.
Speaker 4: Wants, but not necessarily to help us story jobs better.
Speaker 2: Like first thing I said to her was I just
Speaker 2: want a bathroom that works, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: Like that's all I want. Like I wasn't, you know,
Speaker 2: like I want that, Like I'd like to be able
Speaker 2: to have a good parking spot like or a parking
Speaker 2: lot or something like that that it'd be cool. So
Speaker 2: I was going through the whole thing and then she
Speaker 2: said she made a comment, Kevin, you remember this. When
Speaker 2: she said, I asked Cody the question, and Cody said
Speaker 2: that she would love if we got vending machines here,
Speaker 2: which because we all were here all day and we
Speaker 2: have no food.
Speaker 4: You know, it would be my first Whenever we go
Speaker 4: to other heart stations, they always have like fully stocked
Speaker 4: snack kitchen.
Speaker 3: Vegas is christ The best thing about working at Quicken
Speaker 3: is they had slushy machines. They had those waters. They
Speaker 3: had snack bins everywhere, like.
Speaker 4: Are the little things that are big?
Speaker 1: Here's here's the really actual gain rate. So here's the thing.
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna write this down and we're gonna give
Speaker 2: our wish list to Kim. But I want the listeners
Speaker 2: to help us with this. What is it that we
Speaker 2: would like here in our office that we if if
Speaker 2: you know, it wasn't a problem, we could actually have And.
Speaker 4: Like, do you have something cool in your office that
Speaker 4: you want to recommend to us to ask for?
Speaker 5: Can I say one thing that I don't want on
Speaker 5: a list, like put this on that we do not
Speaker 5: need lists. Puppy farms, We do not need dogs in
Speaker 5: the office. We talked about that already, We talked about
Speaker 5: it earlier. That would not make me a happy worker.
Speaker 3: About those nappods we had those at Quickened too.
Speaker 2: Where you can go and take an ab So can
Speaker 2: I say what would be it would be cool for though,
Speaker 2: like a Zach who Zach's here for a long time
Speaker 2: and if he could just like like there's times where
Speaker 2: we have late nights where it's like, all right, just
Speaker 2: give me a thirty minute. You know, little thing? I
Speaker 2: guess it would that would be kind of cool. But
Speaker 2: can I tell you one of the biggest things. And
Speaker 2: I said this to her yesterday. I said, Kim, here's
Speaker 2: the thing that I want. I want, I want whatever
Speaker 2: it is that makes people say I want to go
Speaker 2: into the office because there's a vibe there. Because here's
Speaker 2: the thing. I know that there are many people in
Speaker 2: their jobs that say I'm more productive at home mm hmm,
Speaker 2: and I don't believe it. And I'm going to say this.
Speaker 2: I know that you guys go motor. You don't understand. No,
Speaker 2: I think that you're as productive as you are wherever
Speaker 2: you are. But it's the thing of when I got
Speaker 2: into radio and I started working at radio, and I
Speaker 2: still feel the way now with you guys. I love
Speaker 2: I like seeing your faces. I like being here with
Speaker 2: you guys, like I want this like we had we've
Speaker 2: had a fun show that you know, this has been good,
Speaker 2: Like everybody's here, get to you know, slap five during
Speaker 2: commercials and you know what I mean, like talk about
Speaker 2: crap and stuff like that. And I think that you
Speaker 2: miss that when you're somebody that is just sitting at
Speaker 2: home all day doing all your stuff, thinking that you're
Speaker 2: getting more done because people aren't bothering you. If there
Speaker 2: is something in this office or people in this office
Speaker 2: that you really want to truly be with, you'll make
Speaker 2: it a point to be there. You'll drive twelve hours
Speaker 2: to be there. You know, you just say it though,
Speaker 2: you say you started essences or people. If there are
Speaker 2: people in the office that you want to be around, yes,
Speaker 2: that's how he's starting to since. And maybe the first
Speaker 2: thing that we need to do, Kim, is we need
Speaker 2: to get some of those.
Speaker 1: People there, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: But I will say this with even Josh, you know
Speaker 2: next door, he's been their newest.
Speaker 1: I love being around.
Speaker 4: Josh right now to us and have him come in
Speaker 4: and he's walking around now.
Speaker 1: Josh is awesome. I've had this.
Speaker 2: I wish if you could take this radio station and
Speaker 2: transport it to I don't even remember what the year was,
Speaker 2: but there was a year where we had Andrea Kelly.
Speaker 1: Right now.
Speaker 2: All these people they all graduated shows, they all graduated
Speaker 2: from like Michigan State, and they all got hired at
Speaker 2: the same time, and they all came here. There was
Speaker 2: a uh, I remember Jeff Luckoff and uh, you know,
Speaker 2: I don't remember who the other.
Speaker 1: A holes were La was down there.
Speaker 4: We had a sales.
Speaker 2: Floor, but we had like a group of people that
Speaker 2: all were around the same age. They were fun, they
Speaker 2: were they had a vibe to them. I honestly, I
Speaker 2: remember Telsea saying to me, you go on more appointments
Speaker 2: than you've ever gone on in your life. And it was, honestly,
Speaker 2: a lot of it was going because each of these
Speaker 2: guys were younger and they were into what they were doing.
Speaker 2: Selling the advertising and our promotions department was like hopping
Speaker 2: and stuff like that.
Speaker 4: Like yeahtual the emotions sales floor downstairs, because I was
Speaker 4: all thing. It was two levels at the time. I
Speaker 4: would go down there after the show just like hang
Speaker 4: It was so fun. It was amazing, Like you you'd
Speaker 4: want to go down there and hang out.
Speaker 5: I feel like that's the sign of a good work environment,
Speaker 5: when people are there beyond the time they have to
Speaker 5: get paid.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I.
Speaker 5: Remember even when I used to insert in a jail,
Speaker 5: but it was the same thing and energy matters. Yeah,
Speaker 5: And it was obviously I was like eighteen or nineteen,
Speaker 5: so just being involved in you know, the radio industry
Speaker 5: and concerts and having events and stuff was just enough
Speaker 5: to be there anyway, but when you're there after or
Speaker 5: after your quote unquote sift, that's when you know you've
Speaker 5: got a good work environment.
Speaker 2: Somebody said something to me that I guess they were
Speaker 2: talking about us, our show, and they were saying that
Speaker 2: there are people that get jealous of what we have
Speaker 2: as a show and they feel like we don't let
Speaker 2: anybody else in on stuff. And that bothered me because
Speaker 2: I want everybody to feel like they're part of what
Speaker 2: we do, like any I don't even care if you're
Speaker 2: our competitor across the dial, but we need to get
Speaker 2: that into the whole entire building. And that's kind of
Speaker 2: something that I was hoping for with this topic, where
Speaker 2: you can call up and tell us, like Clara, what
Speaker 2: are you saying that that we need her?
Speaker 1: I guess at my old job, we had a masseuse
Speaker 1: coming and give us massages. You can.
Speaker 2: About if their puppy massages, by the way, massages would
Speaker 2: be wild.
Speaker 1: Honestly, Can I say this to you?
Speaker 2: And I don't know what the company would think of that,
Speaker 2: but if you brought in like a person with like
Speaker 2: one of those tables, and they.
Speaker 4: Did, we had at the table chair massage.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll do.
Speaker 4: It my back, rub my head, rub my hands. Oh,
Speaker 4: I'd be so happy.
Speaker 2: We used to have a guy sales manager back in
Speaker 2: the day that IM convinced he used to used to
Speaker 2: give massages to people. I was during that same era
Speaker 2: that I was talking about earlier. What's going on, Emily?
Speaker 2: How you doing?
Speaker 1: List with his names? Oh? What's that? What do you
Speaker 1: got from.
Speaker 5: The first couple?
Speaker 1: Will be like having someone will come in and do.
Speaker 5: Like health and wellness stuff like gong or zoomba, just
Speaker 5: as fun stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Okay, what's your next one?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 1: No, nothing the food related, y'all?
Speaker 3: Like pasta, Pallas, all of it, sandwich exactly an organization.
Speaker 2: No, no offense by the way to uh to buddies pizza.
Speaker 2: We're tired of buddies pizza. No offense to you guys.
Speaker 2: We love you buddies pizza, but we we don't need
Speaker 2: enough pizza. We don't we are I get it. It's
Speaker 2: the trade that we have or whatever the deal is.
Speaker 2: But it would be cool to have, like Cody said,
Speaker 2: just random food here. Now you bring up an interesting thing.
Speaker 2: I like the idea of having something like a health thing.
Speaker 2: But we've done, and we've done that before. But he's.
Speaker 3: Someone come in with ivs and B twelve shots once
Speaker 3: a week. Also at Rocket, I like, I love yeah,
Speaker 3: yeah yeah. For the bankers, what's the see what do
Speaker 3: you think of it?
Speaker 5: Because the snack thing is interesting because it's that old
Speaker 5: water cooler mentality where you get something that people can
Speaker 5: gather around and you start to talk.
Speaker 4: So westworks in one of those co working spaces and
Speaker 4: part of his like monthly fee includes they set out
Speaker 4: like a quick grab and go, but like breakfast every
Speaker 4: morning for everybody, and then around happy hour time it's
Speaker 4: all snacks and like actual drinks if you want to
Speaker 4: go have a beer, if you want some snacks whatever.

Speaker 7: and this was so disappointing, because everybody that I worked
Speaker 7: with love me, love my personality, love my energy. It
Speaker 7: was the executive people at the top that had said
Speaker 7: that I was quote unquote a personality higher. So I
Speaker 7: my my contribution to the team wasn't money making, meaning
Speaker 7: I wasn't bringing I was basically an overhead cost. I
Speaker 7: wasn't bringing money from the for sales to the company.
