1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,680
Speaker 1: I'll use Tyler as the example.

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 2: Would you be pissed if you got home and you

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 2: were complaining about managers at work, just complained like, oh,

00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 3: Okay, I would never do that.

7
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:23,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, me, neither.

8
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 3: The which when is Brett.

00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: The one who drives the maserati? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah idiot?

10
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 3: Yes?

11
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 2: Right, So you know, I'm not saying he's an idiot.

12
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 2: I'm just saying if you went home and complained like, oh,

13
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 2: he's really driving me nuts, he's been up my ass

14
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 2: for the last week, like like I hate going into work,

15
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 2: I don't want to deal with him. Would you be pissed?

16
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 2: Would you be pissed if Lindsay picked up the phone

17
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 2: and called Brett.

18
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 3: I'd be mortified, But then I'd also be upset with

19
00:00:58,440 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 3: Lindsay as well.

20
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: Yeah you'd yes, right, yes, yes, of course you would.

21
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: Of course you would.

22
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 4: I don't know anybody who wouldn't.

23
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: Happens all the time, all the time.

24
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 3: So they're calling the one who the partner has the

25
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 3: issue with, or they're calling like someone else to complain

26
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 3: about Brett.

27
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: Yep, either it could be both.

28
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 2: It could be calling Brett's bosses Aaron, so then it

29
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 2: could be lindsay, either calling Brett and going, hey, why

30
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 2: don't you you know what like why don't you learn

31
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 2: some people skills? Or calling Aaron and going, hey, I

32
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: just got to say, Brett's being really unfair to Tyler.

33
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 3: Could you imagine I'd almost rather her call Brett directly. Yeah,

34
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 3: I don't want anyone else to know, although I feel

35
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 3: like Brett may tell some people.

36
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: By the way they say it is a common practice

37
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: where where spouse or but it doesn't even have to

38
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 2: be that they're up your ass right.

39
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: It could be as easy as like when an.

40
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 2: Annual review an annual review, and this is actually a

41
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: true story annual review.

42
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: I'm just looking to see if it's a man or

43
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: a woman. Woman goes in for her annual review.

44
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: Her supervisor says, hey, glowing, glowing, everything is great.

45
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: You're on time, your work is done. Everything is great.

46
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 2: However, However, I do over here, and I've noticed myself,

47
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 2: but I do overhear other people saying, every time you

48
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,399
Speaker 2: get in a conversation with this woman, the employee, she's oh,

49
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 2: he's got to talk about her husband and her kids

50
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 2: and everything that goes on. It's her husband, kids, husband

51
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 2: and kids, husband and kids, husband and kids. You might

52
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 2: just want to back that off a little bit. Some

53
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 2: people are put off. You don't have to invoke your

54
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 2: husband and kids in every conversation you have.

55
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: But your work is great.

56
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 2: This would just be a little, yeah, a little suggestion

57
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: I would make. Right next day, supervisor gets in email

58
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 2: from that woman's husband.

59
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I thought we had freedom of speech in

60
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 1: this country.

61
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 2: I'm sorry that you feel my wife talking about her

62
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 2: family is offensive to your work policies. How about appreciating

63
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 2: that somebody loves their husband and loves their kids.

64
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: I would, I would, I would. I would take computer

65
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: usage away from.

66
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 3: Jackie and you couldn't show your face any Oh.

67
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: I would be mortified. I would be mortified.

68
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 3: I think that outweighs the frustration the way that it

69
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 3: now is going to affect everyone's opinion of me at

70
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 3: work versus the tension at home. Like I'm angry, but

71
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 3: I'm more embarrassed.

72
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 2: Yea, oh yeah, yes, so you're you're angry at Lindsay,

73
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,679
Speaker 2: but you're more mortified to walk into work.

74
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 3: Yes, forever, not just the next day.

75
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 5: Because you're gonna get an assignment, and then everybody mumbling

76
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 5: under their breath is gonna be like, oh, maybe Linda'll

77
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 5: just do it.

78
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: Oh, I hope Lindsay doesn't get mad that Tyler has

79
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: an assignment.

80
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 3: Why are we calling an assignment whatever?

81
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: Like a report?

82
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 2: Oh wait, you better ask Brett, you better ask Lindsay

83
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 2: if it's okay if Tyler does this report.

84
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 4: For years forever, Yeah, Diane, as long as you're.

85
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 3: There putting an end date on it, it would never end.

86
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 2: So anyway, so I'm reading this, I'm like, there's no way.

87
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: And so they were. They were talking to hr people

88
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: that they were like, you don't understand, and all the time,

89
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 2: all the time.

90
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 3: I remember you told us about the gen Z parents

91
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 3: who were handling some workplace communications for their children. Yes,

92
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 3: that now, just because of all the stereotypes with that generation,

93
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 3: that now almost seems okay, no, it's not compared to this.

94
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: Yes, can I but now let me give you, let me,

95
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 2: let me let me piggyback off. That guy is in

96
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 2: the process of interviewing for a job, right, and he's

97
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 2: gone through two or three rounds, and he's interviewing for

98
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 2: a job, and the the the company will call him

99
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 2: and go, hey, Bob, you know whatever the guy's name is,

100
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 2: we'd like to set up a meeting.

00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 2: Bob may be out running an errand Bob may be

00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 2: in the basement, Bob may be in the shower. His

104
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 2: wife will return that call and go, hey, didn't want

105
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 2: you to think Bob was ignoring the call.

106
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: What can I help you with?

107
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 2: And they were like, we were just calling to sit

Speaker 2: up a meeting, All right, let me help with that

109
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 2: and then we'll do it. Also, also they called Bob

110
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 2: on his cell phone. They were in the car. It

111
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 2: was Bob and his wife. Yeah, and they called the

112
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 2: woman saw that it was from the company, answered on

113
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 2: speaker hello.

114
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 4: Like pretending like she was his assistant or something.

115
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: No, just his wife who was along for the ride.

116
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 4: Oh God, butt out.

117
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 5: Don't you think that people like at the prospective employer

118
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 5: are kind of like, what's going on here?

119
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: He's still in the running for the job. They're still calling.

120
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 3: Well, but isn't that a bigger red flag to you

121
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 3: than when it's someone who's just out of college and

122

00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, by the.

126
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 2: Way, like if if if my kid was in the

127
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 2: car and is in the is in the process of

128
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 2: trying to get a job, and a company called him

129
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 2: and he answered the phone while he and his girlfriend

130
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 2: were on speaker.

131
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: I would, I would, I would.

132
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 2: I'd be like, you shouldn't. You should never work like

133
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 2: you don't know what you're doing. You're you're dumb.

134
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 3: Okay, that's a whole other thing. I wasn't talking about

135
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 3: twenty somethings and their girlfriends the parents.

136
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,559
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I wouldn't do that either.

137
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 3: No, but I could understand if, like SAE.

138
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 2: Them, tell them you want more money, like where the

139
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 2: coaching just crosses the lot.

140
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, but this is not no, this is this

141
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 3: isn't coaching. Maybe there is some coaching.

142
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 2: But yes, he would uh yes, he would like a

143
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 2: little more work life balance.

144
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 4: Hello, well we would like someone who speaks for himself.

145
00:07:53,320 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 3: So, but the the calling to complain, right, I.

146
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 2: Think I'm sorry here in America, I thought we had

147
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: freedom of speech.

148
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 3: Is when someone has no idea what that means. So

149
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 3: if you're starting off on the wrong foot. No, but

150
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 3: either I think it was Diana or maybe it's Elliott

151
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 3: who said nothing could ever be outwardly and the word

152
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 3: was a sign or set up for that employee to

153
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 3: ever do in a public group setting.

154
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 2: Again, they could say, you know what, we have a

155
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 2: we have a department meeting at three o'clock.

156
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: Better ask Lindsey.

157
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 4: Oh, I hope Lindsay is free.

158
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't matter what it is company happy hour?

Speaker 4: Okay?

197
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 3: Kristen, let's not name people who's partners we could see

198
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 3: doing this. My wife's name was used as an example,

199
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 3: just because he wanted probably to go after some low

200
00:10:58,640 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 3: hanging fruit.

201
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 2: Who oh, yes, I agree, I agree, Diane, Diane, I

202
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 2: could see. I could see his wife or her husband

203
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 2: calling m M. But we're not gonna guess whose would

204
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:16,719
Speaker 2: do that.

205
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 3: What if the partner, though, is essentially doing it because

206
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 3: she's or he is so upset with the way you

207
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 3: are when you get home from work. They're thinking this

208
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 3: will end their time there.

209
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: Oh, watch me get them out of.

210
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 3: This, not get them out you can't. You still can't

211
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 3: go that road, essentially manipulate them.

212
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: Like this will get them fired.

213
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 3: No, to leave, I'm leaving. I can't work in this environment.

214
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 3: In discussion with.

215
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 2: Them, oh so now, like the whole office is making fun,

216
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 2: and they're like, I got but they know why the

217
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 2: whole office is making fun because you called. So now

218
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 2: I'm out of work and I hate my husband because you.

219
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: Put me up in the middle of this.

220
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 2: Yes, I hate it there, but you know what, at

221
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 2: least I didn't have to spend the next six weeks

222
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 2: hearing mommy jokes and.

223
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 3: It's for the better. Perhaps maybe that would be the

224
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 3: argument that the partner would lay down.

225
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: For the marriage.

226
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 3: If it's stressing everyone at home, at.

227
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 2: No point would you get to the point where you'd

228
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 2: be like, you know what, In hindsight, lindsay thank you,

229
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 2: thank you for making it in the last six weeks

230
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 2: of my life a living hell.

231
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 3: I could, yes, maybe not me, but I could see

232
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 3: if it does drive someone to stand up for themselves

233
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 3: and get out on their own and do something maybe

234
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 3: that they're more driven by and inspired to do well.

235
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 2: Then congratulations to doormat Dave for getting out of that.

00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 6: much she misses her husband, how it's so stressful that

252
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 6: he's stationed overseas. And you walk into division headquarters one

253
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 6: day unbdultate of this is gonna is happening, and you

254
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 6: hear your first sergeant screaming from down the hall, who's

255
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:03,839
Speaker 6: waters where's And you go, hey, for a sargeant, ay,

256
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 6: why is your wife writing the president about how she

257
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 6: misses you and how she's stressed out because she's pregnant

258
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 6: and she doesn't have you there. For the year that

259
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 6: I was stationed in Korea, Elliott, anytime my first sergeant

260
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 6: would ask me a question, he would say, would you

261
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 6: need do you need to check with your wife first?

262
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 6: Or she's gonna write the president?

263
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: My fear was.

264
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 2: My fear was you were gonna tell me she wrote

265
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 2: somebody and I wouldn't know who it is.

266
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: But going right to the president's pretty strong. That's pretty strong, right, Uh?

267
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 7: Hold on, Elliott.

268
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 6: My dad taught me if I wasn't getting the answers,

269
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 6: I wanted to climb to the top, climb that ladder,

270
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 6: to get to the top of the ladder to get

271
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 6: what I wanted.

272
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: So I don't think he meant like literally go to

273
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: the president. Yeah, I don't. I don't think that was it.

274
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 2: By the way, the fact that the two of you

275
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 2: are in the car together right now is pretty impressive.

276
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, she's kicking my butt out dropping me off at

277
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 6: Dellis Airport so I could get away for a week,

278
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 6: and I get it. I have to hear about how

279
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 6: I embarrassed her. So it's perfect, perfect timing. But yeah,

280
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 6: for a whole year, for a whole year, talk about

281
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 6: being the butt end of a joke. It with your

282
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 6: first sergeant?

283
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: Hey, can I ask you this? Was it ever between

284
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: you and your wife?

285
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 2: Was there ever a real fight between the two of

286
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 2: you over it?

287
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 6: Not a fight? I mean there was obviously stretchers. We

288
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 6: were young. She was twenty two, I was twenty four.

289
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 6: You know, she was pregnant with her first child. Yeah,

290
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 6: I know, yeah, yeah, yeah, So I'm sure her letter

350
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,119

Speaker 2: for months.

352
00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,600

00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, yes, go ahead.

359
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,200

361
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 7: there ain't nobody going to tell my old lady what

362
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 7: she can and cannot say while she's at work.

363
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: By the way, showing up in person may actually be worse.

364
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 4: That may actually you sound hot.

365
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 7: Yeah I am very very hot, but especially when it

366
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 7: comes to all the way like you're not going to

367
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 7: tell them all the lady what she can't speak about

368
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 7: at work. I fully support that. Dude, an.

369
00:19:54,160 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 3: Excuse me again, you tucked over that, but everyone heard it.

370
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 2: So wait if I was your wife's manager and I

371
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 2: was like, you're doing a great job, but listen, stop

372
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 2: talking about your husband and kids. Nobody cares it's too much.

373
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 2: You would show up at the office and punch me.

374
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 7: I mean I would. I would probably give a call first,

375
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 7: and depending on how you responded on that call would

376
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 7: depend on whether I started it or not.

377
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 2: Oh, I know how I would respond, Oh, I'm sorry

378
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 2: that you're feeling your hurt mister husband for an ass whoop?

379
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 6: Pretty much?

380
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, pretty much? How would know? Maybe I'm my old

381
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 7: school in it. I mean, my my old lady is

382
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 7: my pride. Nobody's going to speak to her.

383
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 1: And can I tell you what makes me feel bad?

384
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,280

386
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: I don't know that I would go to that. No,

387
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: not for that. I'd be like, yeah, jack you know what,

388
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: shut up? Nobody wants to hear.

389
00:20:55,880 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 2: The one miss, the innocent mistake that gets made is

390
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 2: is I'll just use you and Lindsay as the example again.

391
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 3: Right, yep? Perfect?

404
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 2: do this nice thing, and people are like, oh, don't

405
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 2: ever do that. Don't ever do that because now now

406
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 2: that person is right in the middle of your personal business.

407
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 2: Because what if the number one? What if the answers

408
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 2: know which is which can be the case? Also, they

409
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 2: don't need to know what.

410
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: Is colle never mind Ellia.

411
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 4: It seemed like a slip.

412
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 2: No, they're saying that you feel like you're being up

413
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 2: too much. It opens you up too much. It lets

414
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 2: everybody know what you're doing. Like it's it's just they

415
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 2: said it.

416
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 4: I think it's a very No, it seemed too bad.

417
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 2: They will tell you in the world of being a manager,

418
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 2: they don't want that.

419
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: Don't come to me with that. You know who asked

420
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 1: for time off? Your husband, the employee, don't tell me, hey,

421
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: can you write it?

422
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 5: And she she's letting the manager know in advance, so

423
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 5: if he needs to plan otherwise he can.

424
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 4: But this is one employee's going to be gone for

425
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 4: a couple of days.

426
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then you ask for that in due time,

427
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 2: like there's a you're an adult. We don't have like

428
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 2: a surprise weekend away where you take off a Thursday

429
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 2: and Friday without telling somebody, Like, you're an adult.

430
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 3: So let me ask you this. Okay, Jackie, your wife

431
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 3: has asked me a lot about a ailability four days off.

432
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: Correct? Does that bother you?

433
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 3: It also seems like you you end up shutting down

434
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 3: the gift because there will be what seemed like established

435
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 3: days that you're gonna need to take off on a

436
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 3: Friday because she's gotten you something or you're going somewhere

437
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 3: with her, right, and then it never happens.

438
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, because then she'll go, hey, we're doing this, and

439
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 2: I'll be like, I don't want to do that.

440
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 4: I can't leave till Friday. It too.

441
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly when this just happened again past February, if

442
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 3: your birthday.

443
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: Oh really, did it get shut down?

444
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 3: It must have. Yeah, we didn't take a Friday off.

445
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, all right, well there you go.

446
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 3: But you're not upset with her for doing it?

447
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: No, okay, yeah, no, that's fine.

448
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 3: I don't want to tell her to xnay the no.

449
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: But if she if she was going to erin, I'd

450
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: have a problem.

451
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 3: No, she's going to me.

452
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 2: The no, because I'm assuming part of it is like,

453
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 2: is the is there a band coming in there?

454
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 3: Actually I got it was another thing that didn't end

455
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 3: up happening, but I got called out because I guess

456
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 3: I said yes to a Friday and then literally that

457
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 3: Saturday morning, we talked about doing something, but I forgot

458
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 3: to follow up with Jackie and she wrote me back

459
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 3: and said, Elliott says, you have an event that weekend.

460
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 3: And I was like, oh that just it just came

461
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 3: up literally on Saturday morning, and you emailed them Thursday

462
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 3: or something like that. I had no idea.

463
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's okay. Yeah, that's okay.

464
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 3: So I just need to remember that if plans changed,

465
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 3: I need to keep her in the loop. That's fair.
