Speaker 1: Monday morning. That's really exciting. I want to give you

27
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: a quick rundown of your first day and kind of

28
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 1: what to expect. I really appreciate that. Yeah, so when

29
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: you come in, we'll get y'all set up with your

30
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: key card, badge and security and everything perfect. And do

31
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: you want if I ask, do you know of anyone

32
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: that's worked for the company before? No, I don't think so. Well.

33
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: Our CEO started this tradition about thirty years ago and

34
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: in still going on today. Before we have our morning

35
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: roundup meeting, we go around the room and kiss everyone

36
00:01:54,320 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: on the mouth. I need to be honest with you.

37
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: I've I've never heard of anything like this before. I

38
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: know it's it's a little unconventional, but it's just something

39
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: that the founders of the company did when they started,

40
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: and it turned into this big success and it stayed

41
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: with the culture ever since. I mean, why why do

42
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: you think we're so profitable? Now it's because of the

43
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: mouth kissing, you know, So I just didn't want you

44
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: to be surprised on Monday morning when you come in,

45
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of smooching going on and

46
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: it's very normal, all right. Again, I've never heard of

47
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: anything like this before. No, that makes sense because employees

48
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: are actually discouraged from talking about it outside the company

49
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: walls because you know, other groups or businesses might hear

50
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: about it and think it's weird or worse, they'll try

51
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: and steal it from us. But here we're just one big,

52
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: happy family. That's very interesting, you know. And I don't

53
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 1: want to be rude. But is this something that I

54
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: kid opt out of. Oh, definitely not. No, That's why

55
00:02:58,200 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: I'm calling you to make sure you're good with it.

56
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: If you're wondering. Tongue is not allowed. It's usually just

57
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: a quick peck, like how a granny might kiss. Yeah,

58
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: I was, I wasn't one very short. We don't want

59
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: it to get weird. Maybe this is a good time

60
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: to practice. I'll I'll kiss you over the phone and

61
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: then you kiss me back. Okay, So it's like this,

62
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, hey, Ryan, good to see you. Um,

63
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: I guess I understand. But if you forgot, my name's Cooper,

64
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: so you can say it back to me, Hi Cooper,

65
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: m hm. And you want me to kiss you, Yeah,

66
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: go ahead, I'm ready on the mouth. H okay, okay,

67
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: um oh all right, great, let's get down to business.

68
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: And didn't that feel good? If I'm being honest, it

69
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: feels a little strange. You know, I've never done or

70
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: heard of this before. Yeah, I understand that, but you

71
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: have to admit it felt good, right. I really don't

72
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: have any any emotion to it. It just was kind

73
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: of shocking. I know some people think it's a little

74
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: bit weird at first, but as you do it more

75
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: like give it a week, you'll feel like it's perfectly normal.

76
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: And before you know, I mean, you're gonna be kissing salespeople,

77
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: the accounting team, even the janitor. Carl. I don't want

78
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: to kiss all these people. Why would you say that

79
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: they're part of your family? Now, your business family. Carl's

80
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: actually the best kisser of the group. Well that's great

81
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: for Carl. I just it's great for all of us

82
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: because we get to kiss him. I gotta be honest

83
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,559
Speaker 1: with you, this doesn't sound legal. To me, I don't

84
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: don't I hear you, okay, and so maybe I mean,

85
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that are a little bit

86
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: uncomfortable with this at first. So here's what we'll do.

87
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: I'll tell the rest of the group not to kiss you,

88
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: and you and I can just kiss for the first day,

89
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: and then every day after that, we'll build up the

90
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: kisses until you're comfortable kissing other people. We could kiss

91
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: once an hour or twice an hour if you'd like.

92
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: I don't want to kiss schedule. That doesn't sound like,

93
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: that's not that's not okay with me. You don't understand.

94
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: I'm an HR, so it's okay, and I that okay,

95
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: that's that's not okay. It doesn't matter what your job

96
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: title is, like, you can't just speak like like I

97
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: don't know you Ryan. We just kissed, and now you're

98
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: treating me this way up. No, we didn't we you

99
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: you were like showing me how people kiss on the phone.

100
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: That's that's not a kiss. But you kissed me back.

101
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 1: I look, I felt a little pressure. I didn't like.

102
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: I didn't stick my tongue in you or kiss you

103
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: with my lips. I made a little sound. Now I

104
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: feel like you're using me. Have you just kissed me? Like?

105
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: I like, I meant nothing to you and now you're

106
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: tossing me aside? What are you talking about? Man? I

107
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: feel I feel like like I'm like, I'm a cheap prostitute? Now,

108
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: how is that? This is nothing? Prostitute? How are you

109
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: a prostitute? What are you? Ryan? If this is how

110
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: you want to treat someone that's in your family, your

111
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: business family, then I don't know. Maybe this isn't the

112
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: right job for you. Maybe you're right, Maybe I don't

113
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: goul on there all right, because I'm not okay with

114

Speaker 1: kissing a bunch of randos on the mouth every single day. Okay, Well,
