5
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: Hello hello, James, Hello, Oh please our pleasure. I blame

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,639
Speaker 1: the first time anyone sat down around a table to

7
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 1: have a brainstorm in the early nineties for this and

8
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: now moving forward, this is what we've got, am I

9
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: on the right track there.

10
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean, I mean our whole show is just

11
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 2: based on a whole heap of ideation session.

12
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 3: I think they're called ideation sessions now.

13
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 4: By storms, right, Okay, great, it's a moving feast.

14
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 3: Yes it is.

15
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 4: It is, oh, James, mate, even more so now by

16
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 4: the way, thanks for coming to our work in progress,

17
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 4: our whip. Since I mean, since COVID and so many

18
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 4: people working home, the jargon has increased, it feels like

19
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 4: tenfold by there's even more of things been bandied around.

20
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 3: Do you think it's increased or do you think that

21
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 3: this people are more aware of it now Because one

22
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 3: of the things that happened to me when I during COVID.

23
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 2: Working from home is. It was the first time that

24
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 2: I saw my wife working right like, she was working

25
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 2: from home as well, and all of a sudden you think,

26
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, she's a circle back and tack that

27
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 2: offline person as well. I've never heard her talk like that,

28
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 2: and I think for a lot of people it was

29
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 2: the first time they'd heard their partners or their housemates

30
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 2: talk like that.

31
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 3: Because when we're in a wanting right, Yeah, it is confronted.

32
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 2: Yes, because in the real world we don't talk like that,

33
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 2: But as soon as we kind of log on, we

34
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 2: all of a sudden become absolute widoss.

35
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: Yes, So now do you think people will be able

36
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: to leave this show and then go confidently into an

37
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: interview the next day using all the corporate lingo.

38
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 2: Yes. Look, we do treat this as a bit of

39
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 2: a training session because one of the things we realize

40
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: is that there's really no point trying to avoid this

41
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 2: traffic pup of language. All you can do is to

42
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 2: accept it, or as we'd say, lean into it, and

43
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 2: just get really really good at it. So we do

44
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 2: take people through some of the tips and tricks that

45
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 2: they can learn to be an absolute wanker themselves.

46
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 4: I saw what your show was about and then I

47
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,839
Speaker 4: just all I could think of it was LinkedIn because

48
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 4: there was so much and there's a lot of people getting,

49
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 4: you know, their word out the word about their business

50
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 4: and that. But it can be very very wanky.

51
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 2: Oh yeah. I mean, look, there's a couple of rules

52
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 2: with LinkedIn, and the first rule is to be inexplicably

53
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: excited about everything you notice that, Like, even if you're

54
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 2: just talking about I don't know, like a brand relaunch

55
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 2: for Omo or something like, you have to you have

56
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 2: to be absolutely ecstatic about it. You have to be thrilled, delighted,

57
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 2: honored to be to be a part of that.

58
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 3: The second rule when you when you're on.

59
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,679
Speaker 2: LinkedIn is you need to make every just minor accomplishment

60
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 2: sound like a Nobel Prize winning achievement.

61
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 3: Have you noticed that?

62
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely might.

63
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: Just have you know, some some really simple job, but

64
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 2: you need to make it sound as if you are

65
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 2: absolutely changing the world.

66
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: I think in sort of in line with that one,

67
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: that's a really big one this year, and I think

68
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: it comes with the cost of living and no one's

69
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: got any money. Is the shout out. Let's give a

70
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: shout out to such and such because we can't give

71
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 1: them a bonus, we can't give them money, so let's

72
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: shout them out.

73
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 3: Yes.

74
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: The only problem is you can't really go down to

75
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 2: the supermarket and use your shout.

76
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 3: Out to.

77
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: Shouting indeed, which a sort of wanky phrase kind of

78
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: gets the biggest audience grown reaction.

79
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 2: Oh do you know. I think one of the ones

80
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: that people like a lot is there are a lot

81
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: of moving parts. You notice how people use that phrase.

82
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 2: Basically what that means is the translation of that is

83
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 2: they don't know what I'm talking about. So instead of

84
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 2: saying I'm totally out of my depth and I don't

85
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: know what I'm doing here, you just say there are

86
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 2: a lot of moving parts, and then everyone just kind

87
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: of nods and goes, Oh, this this person's they're onto it.

88
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 4: Sometimes as a meeting, we'll have a meeting in the

89
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 4: person the head of HR or something will start talking.

90
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 4: Then they go it's either moving forward or going forward.

91
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 4: That's become a bit of a popular one too.

92
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 3: Oh well, it's actually compulsory. They moving forward at the

93
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 3: end of every sentence. Moving forward.

94
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't mean anything, Yeah, yeah, No. What it

95
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,119
Speaker 2: does actually is it allows you to increase the lengthy

96
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: of the sentences, and in doing that you kind of

97
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 2: sound a little bit more intelligent. You kind of delay

98
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 2: doing any work because you're just kind of extending your sentences.

99
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 2: And because really like if we didn't talk like this,

100
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 2: everyone want to be out of the office by about

101
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 2: nine point thirty every morning, work done, procrastination and society

102
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 2: would collapse.

103
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 3: So it's really actually quite important that we speak like this.

104
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: Well, shout out to this show because I think it's

105
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: just the funniest thing that you're going to see all year,

106
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: and anyone who's ever had a job is going to

107
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: be able to relate. So, James, thanks for joining us

108
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: this morning. Tickets through ticket tech. I'm getting quick. It's

Speaker 4: So congratulations James much. Well, then it's funny and when

116
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 4: you stop and start talking about how many things slogans

117
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 4: jargons of this whole new language because not you.

118
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: It gives us something to bond together. I think over

119
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: our dislike of the moving forward.

120
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 4: That's fun.
