Tickets are on sale now at ticketmaster dot com for

sixth through the twenty eighth. I gotta I need some
help from you guys. Eight five, five, five, nine, one
one oh three five. This is the only many of us.
I think it's true. This is the only job that
we've had in the last long time. I mean, this
is the only in the last long time. Yes, I

(00:57):
got a radio job in two thousand and three when
I graduated college. I was just a little baby, and
I knock on wood. I'm sure it's gonna end soon.
But the way thing, the way things are going, probably,
but uh right, but I have not It's shocking and
I don't want to say it out loud, but let's
just say. I've had a radio job my whole my
whole adult life, and I don't I don't know. I

(01:19):
don't think I would know how to interview for a job.
I really don't like today, I don't, I don't know.
And then I hear about my friends who were interviewing it,
like Meta and Amazon, and and it takes weeks to
prepare for the interview. And then I knew one girl
who interviewed at Amazon, and so she was it was
a virtual interview. She was on her computer, but behind
her computer on the wall, she had the entire wall

(01:41):
covered in big sheets of paper with potential answers to
interview questions and like games and like theories and stuff
that they might ask in these interviews. So this is
what I'm curious though, if you could tell me why
would I need AI? And I'm asking this sincerely because
I don't know why would I need AI for a
job interview? And how would I get away with that?

(02:04):
Like if I'm a lot of interviews are virtual, and
I guess people are using AI during their interview. I
don't know how you'd be able to do that, and
people wouldn't know or why you would need to do it.
But now companies are going back to in person interviews
only to protect against job candidates using artificial intelligence tools

(02:24):
to cheat during remote interviews. So virtual interviews, I guess
are very common at Google and Cisco and McKenzie and
all these big firms, and now they want to go
back to face to face because either people are using
AI real time during the interview to come up with
answers or solutions or something, and then I guess if

(02:45):
they're not doing that, then they've got someone in the
room off camera listening to the questions and then aiding
them with answers. Now, I guess some of this is
true for like engineering and programming jobs where they might
ask you to do some code stuff or whatever else.
But like I know if and that makes sense, I
guess if you say you know how to code and

(03:05):
you don't, and they're like, how would you do this?
And you type it in or whatever, and then it
tells you how to do it.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
But I mean other than that, what am I using
AI for? Like? What what do I need? Really?

Speaker 2 (03:17):
You know, I guess I'm confused, Like what is it
going to tell me? What would the question being? What
would the end? Have you guys heard about this at all? No?

Speaker 3 (03:25):
But I guess I could see like sometimes like interview
questions stump you, so maybe and you never know like
what the right answer is. I feel like you always
want to make yourself out to like look better than not,
so maybe it would help you, like spin something like
what's your greatest strength or weakness?

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Or you know that question that is always a trap.
I guess I can't remember an interview question. In the
one interview that I had, I don't know. It was
kind of like, hey, are you like a drug addict?

Speaker 1 (03:53):
No? Okay?

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Are you?

Speaker 1 (03:55):
I mean like, are you a little bits? Okay?

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Right?

Speaker 1 (03:58):
Well yeah?

Speaker 4 (03:58):
Are you?

Speaker 2 (03:59):
Are you like radio interview? Are you a little off?
Like are you a little messed up?

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Yeah? But will you show up on time most of
the time? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Okay, all right, okay, well then come on in you
got the job? Or in the case of Kalin's interview,
it was at a. It was at a bar called Dublin's,
and and well, I don't I remember the interview. I
don't remember what I asked you or what was discussed,
because because I was already well well on my way

(04:26):
before we met up. And all I know is I
walked away thinking that's the one, that's the one, and
you got hired.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Oh well, thanks for thinking that's one.

Speaker 4 (04:34):
Jason was also there too, But remember one of the
suits also asked me to rank my top five sandwiches
from non chain restaurants and told me there was a
wrong answer, which I later found out was a turkey sandwich.
But that threw me for a loop, and like he
was dead serious, and I think I passed.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
But what was your answer? What did you say? Oh
my gosh.

Speaker 4 (04:57):
At the time, I think I said, well, these are
local spots, think I said, JP Grazianos.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
I'm trying to remember which other are you ever in Chicago?
You got to go to JP?

Speaker 4 (05:06):
Yeah, I mean there are super local. But like I
think I passed. I never named a turkey sandwich, thank goodness.
But but I like a turkey sandwich.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
So, like Jimmy John's, was the wrong answer. I think
I think so yes, it was. It was supposed to
be non chain.

Speaker 4 (05:22):
Yeah, but like that really scared me because I was like,
I prepared for everything, and like you're looking at me
like this is really.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Serious to you. I wonder what a I would have
told you to say, But I don't know. I guess,
but how would you be able and maybe you just
really sly, but how would you be able to type
real time what the person had just asked you and
then get the answer and then read the answer and
nobody would know that you did that? Right?

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah, the timing would be off. I feel like it
a slight delay.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
I prefhere you look at you like you're looking off
to the side.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
I just freeze, like, oh sorry, I can.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
All right.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
And then you know Paulina's interview, very famous story. She
came in with a whole notebook full of all the
things that were wrong with the show, So a I
couldn't have helped you there. Well, you know what if
I was to do it all over again today, I
guarantee you chat would give me some lit ideas.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
I guess you could prepare for the interview using using AI,
But I don't know. This is crazy to me, I guess,
I don't. I don't understand fully how you would be
able to do that and get away with it and
not get caught.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
And I don't know.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
Maybe maybe if you're slick enough to get through the
interview and get the job, and you had to use
chat ept to do it, maybe you should get hired,
because I don't know, maybe if you're that slick, I
don't know. I mean, what's more important whether I can
do it effectively or whether I really know how to
do it. It's two different things, like maybe I don't

(06:47):
know how to do it, but I taught myself how
to do it using AI.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
I don't Maybe people just right right exactly
