Episode Transcript
In today's prank call, there's a guy who's been commiserating
with his buddy at work because they just did a
huge tech upgrade in their building, and after nothing is going.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Right, doesn't that always happen?
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Yeah, you know what.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
So he's about to get a surprise call from the
IT department, and I have a feeling they're going to
say they aren't the problem. He is. It's your phones
app right now.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Another twenty Hi, this is Jeremy.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Hey, Jeremy calling from the IT department. My name's Al.
I'll be back. How you doing.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
I'm doing good? How are you? Hey?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
So the reason for my call you probably saw the
email recently that we have upgraded some of the technology
here in the office.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Yeah, yeah, I got that.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I just want to say I'm sorry. If you're running
into any bugs or troubles, well.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
I appreciate that. Yeah, there's there's definitely been a few
hiccups in the system. Has not Yeah, we've been hearing
what we're looking for. But if we can, if you're
you know, helping out with getting things fixed, that'd be awesome.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Oh absolutely, yeah, Well we'll take care of that. But
interestingly enough, we are running into some issues on our end,
specifically with your new smart keyboard.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Smart keyboard.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Sorry, I should back up a little. When we changed
out all the computers, we also added some smart keyboards
so we can monitor everyone's typing.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Okay, so did I do something wrong or what? Well,
I don't. I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
It's not not so much wrong as it is aggressive.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
What did I do with it? Was aggressive?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
We noticed you've been typing at a significantly higher force
than the average user. So what I need to ask
are you angry with your keyboard or not.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
That I'm aware of. I mean, I'm a fast typer,
but yeah, yeah, fast.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Is one thing, but this is like hard, Like you're
attacking the keyboard with your finger, you know, specific the
s key How in the.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
World does it even have that kind of system to
where I could seize the sensitivity tech upgrade? I just
told you.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Remember we talked about this as a smart keyboard. Look,
I did catch you up with us, Jeremy to get
it with the times.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I mean, I understand, but I didn't even know that
that was a thing.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
It is, so you know, you could be doing this subconsciously.
Do you have like an X with the name that
starts that S or maybe childhood bully.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
I'm just typing up my reports. If there just happens
to be a whole lot of s's, I don't know,
but I find it hard to believe that I'm doing this.
If it subconscious or not, I don't I don't think
it's I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
May I play the audio back for you because we
actually have that capability?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Well wait, wait, wait, wait, let me get this straight.
You are recording my typing.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yes, we are as a company policy, really, and you
know what, if you don't believe me, I'll play it
for you right now, and make sure to listen for
those SS's.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
You'll hear them, please do. I would love to hear
what the hell you're talking about?
Speaker 2 (02:58):
There's an s? Oh?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Hard s? Okay, wait wait wait, hold on, hold on,
hold on, hold on a capital Can you can you
stop that? Please? Can you just stop the recording? I'm sorry,
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
What did you say?
Speaker 3 (03:11):
All I'm hearing is just noise. I don't even understand
how you can tell what is an S and what
did a nation? And what is anything that's just noise?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Look, I'm just a tech guy, right, I'm no psychologist.
But what I'm hearing right now is a guy going
through a lot of pain in life.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Give me a break, man. You're hearing that from my typing,
for God's sake.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Okay, I'm just saying, it's an issue we have to.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Deal with, Oh my God. And there are.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Options, the first being a planned intervention and I know.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I know that's on a planned intervention over my typing that.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Or you can attend a four week typing softly class.
It's not as bad as you think. Okay, let's just
imagine a whole month of gentle key strokes. What wouldn't
that be relaxing?
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Huh?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Hang on typing on a sunset?
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Does the company actually know that you're handling things this way?
That they're actually paying for this?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Look, I get it, you're getting defensive.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
This is TI am defensive.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
We do have a seminar scheduled next week in Canada
called how to Not Hate your Keyboard.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Okay, this is too much.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
If you drive there, the company is willing to reimburse
you for half of your gas.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
I'm not driving half my gas. I'm not driving to
Canada for something like this.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Okay, Okay, just I'm going to think about I always
advise the employees to take action first before the company does.
If you know what I'm saying, there.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Is no way in hell the company is going to
discipline me or fire me based on the way I
type on a keyboard.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Sure, but they may phone prank you, you know, or
your coworker Josh may set you up on a morning
radio show. I mean, you never know what's gonna happen.
It could be happening right now.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
What you don't know?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Now you do? Actually, because this is actually pose from
the radio show Brook and Jeffrey in the morning, we're
doing a phone tap on you.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Are you freaking kidding me? Got you? Oh my god?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
You thought I worked in it? Bro, I'm not even
allowed in that department here at the radio STA.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
I can understand why.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Holy oh, there's that capitalist word.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Wait a minute, Oh my god, this is too much
wow for you.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Imagine me. I gotta listen to aggressive typing for seven
hours a day. Now, it's a decipher which keys people.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Are hitting too hard. As long as the company is
paying you for it, Bro, I'm just saying six figures.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Brother, I can't even count the cash that series. I
can't count that.
