Speaker 2 (00:04):
Nate Texten said, being an actual nice guy's is something
you try, it's something you are. I don't know about that,
because I think there are men that are capable of
being nice, people who have become conditioned to believe that
if they're not that nice, then they have a better
success rate. And then I think there's such a thing
as being a decent person who tries really hard and
(00:26):
puts a lot of effort forth.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
And then it backfires.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
And so the problem is you do that once in
the wrong situation, and then you start to begin or
once or twice, and you start to begin like to
feel that that's not what people want because you've had
more success being a loof, And then there you go,
it's picking your spot. But I say, god, I'm just
not sure if guys always pick their spot. They'll try
one time, you know, bring flowers and open doors and
pick people up, and then that happens to be not
(00:51):
the right person, and then it's like, see, it doesn't work,
and then I'll just be aloof, you know, with more people,
and then that tends to work, but again not.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
For the right reasons.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Because the people are like, well, why doesn't he like
me more? Why is he doing this and that? And
then I don't know, it's like this false sense of
all they're really trying to do is make sure that
they wind up with the upper hand or vice versa.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
It's a game. It's a game, and so I think you.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Find the right person and then it all clicks and
that's great, But how long does that take a long time?
I guess yeah, hit a lot of drug dealers to
find a hobby.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
That's what they say. It's a Hallmark guard.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Now, yeah, guys, It's June, which means lots of exciting things.
It's Pride month, guys, It's Father's Day month, It's Flag
Day month Juneteenth, and Summer Solstice, which is the day
with the most sunlight of the year. We have all
of that to look forward to this month, you guys.
The NBA Playoffs, the Indiana Pacers had defeated the New
(01:48):
York Knicks.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Where's Stephen A. Smith?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Is he?
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
He's on a fifty one fifty watch right down to
advance to the NBA Finals taking on the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Talk about two cities that are exciting Indianapolis versus Oklahoma City.
It could have been what could it have been? It
could have been Boston. The Knicks could have been in
this thing. The big market teams, it could have been
(02:12):
in this thing. And the NBA is probably ecstatic. Two
of our smallest markets battling it out. But both teams
are really good. It's gonna be exciting. So Thursday, the
NBA Finals began. Police rescued a two year old child
who got on a check bag conveyor belt system at
Terminal A at Newark Liberty Airport. The boy's mother was
talking to an agent behind the Jet Blue counter when
(02:33):
the child walked behind the counter and got on the
conveyor belt. The belt leads into a shoot and then
into the terminal's luggage screening system, which is exactly where
the titdler plunged. Two officers sprung into action immediately and
went to either side of the shop. One of the
officers able to grab the child off the belt and
pull them to safety before reaching the X ray machine.
The child wasn't injured in the incident. Don't say you've
never thought about that at the airport, jumping on that
(02:55):
conveyor belt and riding around. See what's behind those like
plastic each that stick down?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
You know what I mean? Like you know the ones
who like their wavy split sheet?
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Car wash? Yeah, car wash? Like what's back there? What's
going on back there?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Watch your kid at the airport though, playing around like
it's some kind of jungle jim. Have you ever considered
what happens to all of the stuff on your phone,
all of the stuff on your computer when you die?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
No? No, I haven't thought about it.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
You've never considered this, all your TikTok content? Who owns that?
Any music, anything else on your phone? You've never thought
about them?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Car masters? Well, yeah, who owns your masters? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Have you ever thought about what happens to your online
life after you log off for good aka you're dead?
A recent study of highlights that most of us will
leave behind a massive digital legacy when we've passed away.
We're talking about thousands of photos, social media posts, emails,
even digital currency. In fact, the average person shares over
a third of their life online, leaving behind nearly ten
(03:55):
thousand photos and ten thousand social media posts. That has
a plan all that content could be lost or inaccessible
to your loved ones. Experts are recommending today that you
set up digital wills designated legacy contacts on platforms like uh,
Facebook and Google, or you should designate them and using
password managers to ensure that your digital assets are handled
(04:16):
according to your wishes. No, it's okay. You don't need
my passwords, Like something happens to me, I go bye bye,
Like we don't need it. You don't need to get
in my computer. You don't need to be looking at
waitness is it is not necessary?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
What's insident?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Well I don't know. Do you want someone? Can I
go through your computer right now? Yes?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I can look at your search history. Oh, I can
look at I can look all through your photos.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Yes, you know, I tell you everything, like literally good
doctual have little.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Nudy dudies in there and stuff you don't want people
to see.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Just keep those first of all, and not you don't
store them anywhere?
Speaker 3 (04:47):
No?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Hell no, Oh, I think you're in the minority. I
think people store the good ones and recie you know
how I feel about this, and they recycle that.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
I don't like keeping that stuff on my technology, so no,
go for it.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Yeah, yeah, I mean I think I'm the same way.
But I at the same time, I just we don't
need to. We don't. I'm not around to provide context,
especially with this job, the stuff that I've googled. Anytime
I have any question in my mind, I google it,
which is not always a good thing. So like, if
you were to look at some of my Google searches,
you might be like, well, why was he googling that?
(05:20):
Maybe I was watching a TV show I didn't know, maybe,
but but you're not there to be like, why.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Did you google that?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
You know? And for me to be able to tell you,
so I'm gone to context is lost. So no, you
do not need to see what's going Looking at my
phone or my computer is almost like looking at my brain,
and no one needs.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
To be able to see that movie. I love me. Yeah,
we know you.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
I think enough to think like, Okay, well he was
watching this movie or maybe he's like a free in
the morning he had a random thought. Calen knows that
I google the weirdest things I for in the morning
is Jesus a carpenter?
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Look, that was a thought that I had one time.
What are your friends? She had to tell you?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
I want to say he was was he I think
his father was Joseph as well. Joseph was so I
got the two confused and was a family business. I
wasn't really sure, so I how to dissect that family business?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, Jesus God and sons carpentry.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Yeah, money back guaranteed. Jason.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Would you want anyone going through your stuff once you're gone?
You're that what is that thing over to that that
I think Pat the company gave you?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Yeah, I mean honestly yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I mean, if you could even figure out how to,
you know, work this thing, then I think I'm good.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Whatever you want, I think I'm good.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
It's just whatever I put up there, I approved. It
would be like it's like if you're an artist, like
when Prince died. Prince died, and then they went into
Paisley Park and they found the safe full of all
this work, all this stuff that he never released because
you had a studio in his house. It was constantly
recording stuff. And then you know, his family's like, oh good,
we're gonna inventory this and we're gonna we're gonna release
(06:50):
all which I don't even know if they've done it yet,
but for a while that was they hired someone to
archive it all. And manage it and look at what
it all was. They were going to release him, and
you know what, if you want to release he might
have released it. But he didn't, and so he died,
and I think it sadly, I think it dies with
him because maybe whatever that stuff is doesn't represent him,
or who knows. He don't want it out there, so
(07:12):
I don't. I'm gone and you can just throw my
stuff away.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
It's over.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
You don't need to go through it now. I guess
what do you do though? If you die and then
you need to get into someone's like bank account. I
guess that's you have to like provide birth certificates and
or death certificates, and you have to be able to
prove the person's dad. Yet, I would assume if there's
a will, then if you're the beneficiary or you're the executor,
then you would have access to all of that. So
you don't need my password. You can go to the
bank and you can file paperwork and then they'll give
(07:37):
you what little money I have you want, I'll make sure.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
There's money in there. My sister had that. That was
a fun time she went in there. There wasn't a
dollar less.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yeah, Well, her dad and she was like, ah, yes,
college loans for erased.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
You would think at least a little something to take
care of me and well take care of my sister.
She's going to college at that time, exactly Pennsylvania, you know,
expenses plants.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
But that's another thing.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Let's say you win into someone's uh phone or computer
or into their like secret folder on their on their computer,
and then you realize you learn things about them that
they were into or that they had done that you
never knew and never would have known, and then it
changes the way you think about them. So can't people's
private computer be private forever?
Speaker 5 (08:20):
I feel like it's all up to the person, But
I do think we need to start thinking about a
digital plan after you die, because I've seen people die
and then the last post on their Facebook was like
shout out to Big Booty Keisha, you know, like we
turned out, and it's like, I want that.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
To be the last thing that see he was happy
or she was happy on their way with Big Booty Keisha.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Let me rest you no, like give me a I
think I'm gonna prepare like a final post. So when
I go, Jason gonna go in there, make just hit
post on this final post, Richard Simmons.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Did that, didn't he? Like, I think his family released
something that he wrote or somebody did you know? I
think that's fine, like hit sund when I'm ready.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Right, yeah, I guess just don't. We won't go through
your don't worry again. I mean, I'm dead, so I
mean who cares? But we're not like judging.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
We know you, so we're not really judging what you're
searching unless it was like how do I kill my coworkers?
You know?
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Other than that, I'm like, well I haven't.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
I haven't searched that in several days, so you'd have
a hard time fighting again.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
No, I don't think. I don't think i'm a.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Good example because I mean you're right, like I don't
have secrets.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Like I just I just say everything. But don't you
want to know? To my detriment sometimes like what's up y'all?
This friend?
Speaker 5 (09:26):
So I'm dead, y'all, I did ahead and die?
Speaker 3 (09:29):
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
I didn't go ahead and die? Yeah, And then what
else would it since you're being mean? Now, what's telling y'all?
It's Fred? What else would he say?
Speaker 5 (09:36):
Like I'm dead? That's crazy? But you know, shout out
to the dogs. You know, I'm up here with a
lot of dogs that I rescue and stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I'd better be Yeah, and then like every one of them,
damn dogs better meet me in heaven.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Right. They might be the only ones, but every one
of them that a beat me in heaven.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
You could, you know, do one last, you know, is
waiting bout the phone. You could do whatever you want.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
You could do it last waiting, But that because that's
what my legacy is going. It probably is. Honestly, Remember
that guy that used to do that thing with the dates.
Remember him, what was his name?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Bob ed the whole intro off the Oh.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah, I trust me if this company has anything to
do with it, if I were to die that you'd
probably never stop hearing waiting by the phone. They would
just use a little AI machine to make it sound
like me. It might even be better. Oh and I
remember back in the day, remember, and this is why
so many decades ago, maybe a decade ago, when you
used to have to download the music that you wanted
(10:28):
off iTunes and then you technically owned it. I remember
there were conversations about that. It was if I have
a hard drive full of music because back in the day,
I know this is gonna be hard people to believe.
Back in the day, you didn't stream the song. You
had to spend ninety nine cents to buy the song
you wanted, unless you had the illegal stuff the LimeWire
or the napster or whatever. And then and then it
(10:49):
was on your hard drive and so you had to
like transfer it from device to device as opposed to
now you can just stream it online. So there was
a big conversation about well who owns that? Like if
I die and I spent ten thousand dollars on songs,
then should I get to pass that on to somebody? Well,
it turned out, if you look very carefully, all you
did was lease the song for your life. So then
(11:11):
when your dad, technically no one owns it anymore. That's
how it used to be. Now you don't have to
worry about it anymore. But yeah, back in the day,
because that was a whole conversation was like, well, if
I spent twenty five grand collecting every Beatles song and
every this and that and whatever, and I bought all that,
well then who gets it? Nobody? Nobody gets it, I guess,
And are you ready for the latest at work trend.
(11:35):
It's called ghost working. I mean, how many, how many weeks?
How many different versions of not working but making people
believe it? I mean, and then people want to know
why they get fired. It's like, well, because you pridefully
have been telling everyone about this thing that you're doing
called ghost working. Move over quiet quitting. Now we have
(11:56):
ghost working. That's the practice of looking busy in the
office by carrying around prop notebooks, scheduling fake meetings, or
just typing random words. According to a new survey from
resume Now whatever that is, fifty eight percent of employees
admit to the practice regularly, perhaps an outgrowth of anxiety
over job security, the rise of AI and recession fears.
(12:17):
One expert says the workforce is currently under immense pressure
to appear productive.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
How about just be productive please?
Speaker 2 (12:25):
I mean, if you're worried about AI taking your job,
then wouldn't now be the time to make it look
like you can do better than AI as opposed to
pretending to work. I think a lot of people around
here do that.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
By the way, I was gonna say, that's not new.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
I feel like I've seen notebooks in people's hands and
iPads and.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
A lot of ghost working, a lot of ghost working.
Open it. Now, let's do that. Let me see that. Now,
show me your skin.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
But the way that I'm picking that story up or
that I'm thinking of it, is that, like I don't know,
maybe they're trying to look more busy, like they're working,
but they're trying to be like no, like a I
can't do this, They can't pull off a noteook can
schedule a meeting with us today?
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Right?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Well, no, this is this is exactly not no, this
is exactly the opposite. This is not working but making
it look like you are.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
Yes, what's because I'm out. Look, if you want to
do ghost working, do your thing. I'm not I'm not
a hater, but don't involve me. I hate the person
who is ghost working and then involves everybody else. So
like I got to come to your fake meeting or
I have to. You're sending me random emails about nothing,
like why do why do I have to play this
game with you? Just ghost work on your own, Like,
(13:28):
don't involve me.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
I don't want to go.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
It's okay.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
You you don't really hate it. You don't really like
a ghost worker. You are you you would hate on
a ghost worker because you work really hard, That's what
I'm saying. And so it's like me, you said, I
don't hate on a ghost worker, but you do though,
because it's like you're not doing anything, like you're not
you want us to all to believe that your life
is so hard, and you know what else, you know,
you know where I find this happens. This tends to
(13:52):
happen when everybody around you is actually working their asses off,
and then it's like it's opposed to just working your
ass off. You just tell everybody how hard you're working
and how difficult your life is, and then you will
become resentful of You could happen absolutely say, oh I
got an idea. Why don't you just make yourself as
actually is? What? Why don't you produce as much as
everybody else? And then you don't have to.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
You shouldn't have to say you work hard ever, like
it should just be a parent like.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
But oh, come on, people do it.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
And everybody driving to work right now in every workplace
can think of the person You're like, oh, I'm just
so exhaustly hard. It's like if you know you're right
and the person that's talking. Is like, like, I've never
once heard Jason Brown say that, and Jason Brown works
seventeen hours a day, never once hear him say that
ghost working. But then I think, maybybe you should consider it.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
I want to send you all a bunch of emails
that makes no sense.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
It's a National Rotissary Chicken Day, Rosie, National Bubba Day,
Bubba day.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Hey, that's me.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
A National leave the office early day, which is about
to be me because it's hard to ghost work when you.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Have to talk dude, like I can't. I wish I could. Well,
I shouldn't waste too much because they're probably working on
the AI

Nate Texten said, being an actual nice guy's is something

(00:26):

feel that that's not what people want because you've had
more success being a loof, And then there you go,
it's picking your spot. But I say, god, I'm just
not sure if guys always pick their spot. They'll try
one time, you know, bring flowers and open doors and
pick people up, and then that happens to be not
(00:51):
the right person, and then it's like, see, it doesn't work,
and then I'll just be aloof, you know, with more people,
and then that tends to work, but again not.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
For the right reasons.
Speaker 2 (00:59):

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Find the right person and then it all clicks and
that's great, But how long does that take a long time?
I guess yeah, hit a lot of drug dealers to
find a hobby.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
That's what they say. It's a Hallmark guard.

The NBA Playoffs, the Indiana Pacers had defeated the New
(01:48):
York Knicks.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Where's Stephen A. Smith?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Is he?
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
He's on a fifty one fifty watch right down to

Talk about two cities that are exciting Indianapolis versus Oklahoma City.
It could have been what could it have been? It

(02:12):
in this thing. And the NBA is probably ecstatic. Two
of our smallest markets battling it out. But both teams
are really good. It's gonna be exciting. So Thursday, the
NBA Finals began. Police rescued a two year old child
who got on a check bag conveyor belt system at
Terminal A at Newark Liberty Airport. The boy's mother was
talking to an agent behind the Jet Blue counter when
(02:33):
the child walked behind the counter and got on the
conveyor belt. The belt leads into a shoot and then
into the terminal's luggage screening system, which is exactly where
the titdler plunged. Two officers sprung into action immediately and
went to either side of the shop. One of the
officers able to grab the child off the belt and
pull them to safety before reaching the X ray machine.
The child wasn't injured in the incident. Don't say you've
never thought about that at the airport, jumping on that
(02:55):
conveyor belt and riding around. See what's behind those like
plastic each that stick down?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
You know what I mean? Like you know the ones
who like their wavy split sheet?
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Car wash? Yeah, car wash? Like what's back there? What's
going on back there?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Watch your kid at the airport though, playing around like
it's some kind of jungle jim. Have you ever considered
what happens to all of the stuff on your phone,

Speaker 3 (03:22):
No? No, I haven't thought about it.

go through your computer right now? Yes?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I can look at your search history. Oh, I can
look at I can look all through your photos.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Yes, you know, I tell you everything, like literally good
doctual have little.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Nudy dudies in there and stuff you don't want people
to see.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Just keep those first of all, and not you don't
store them anywhere?
Speaker 3 (04:47):
No?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Hell no, Oh, I think you're in the minority. I
think people store the good ones and recie you know
how I feel about this, and they recycle that.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
I don't like keeping that stuff on my technology, so no,
go for it.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Yeah, yeah, I mean I think I'm the same way.
But I at the same time, I just we don't
need to. We don't. I'm not around to provide context,
especially with this job, the stuff that I've googled. Anytime
I have any question in my mind, I google it,
which is not always a good thing. So like, if
you were to look at some of my Google searches,
you might be like, well, why was he googling that?
(05:20):
Maybe I was watching a TV show I didn't know, maybe,
but but you're not there to be like, why.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Did you google that?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
You know? And for me to be able to tell you,
so I'm gone to context is lost. So no, you
do not need to see what's going Looking at my
phone or my computer is almost like looking at my brain,
and no one needs.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
To be able to see that movie. I love me. Yeah,
we know you.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
I think enough to think like, Okay, well he was
watching this movie or maybe he's like a free in
the morning he had a random thought. Calen knows that
I google the weirdest things I for in the morning
is Jesus a carpenter?
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Look, that was a thought that I had one time.
What are your friends? She had to tell you?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
I want to say he was was he I think
his father was Joseph as well. Joseph was so I
got the two confused and was a family business. I
wasn't really sure, so I how to dissect that family business?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, Jesus God and sons carpentry.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Yeah, money back guaranteed. Jason.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Would you want anyone going through your stuff once you're gone?
You're that what is that thing over to that that
I think Pat the company gave you?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Yeah, I mean honestly yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I mean, if you could even figure out how to,
you know, work this thing, then I think I'm good.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Whatever you want, I think I'm good.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
It's just whatever I put up there, I approved. It
would be like it's like if you're an artist, like
when Prince died. Prince died, and then they went into
Paisley Park and they found the safe full of all
this work, all this stuff that he never released because
you had a studio in his house. It was constantly
recording stuff. And then you know, his family's like, oh good,
we're gonna inventory this and we're gonna we're gonna release
(06:50):
all which I don't even know if they've done it yet,
but for a while that was they hired someone to
archive it all. And manage it and look at what
it all was. They were going to release him, and
you know what, if you want to release he might
have released it. But he didn't, and so he died,
and I think it sadly, I think it dies with
him because maybe whatever that stuff is doesn't represent him,
or who knows. He don't want it out there, so
(07:12):
I don't. I'm gone and you can just throw my
stuff away.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
It's over.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
You don't need to go through it now. I guess
what do you do though? If you die and then
you need to get into someone's like bank account. I
guess that's you have to like provide birth certificates and
or death certificates, and you have to be able to
prove the person's dad. Yet, I would assume if there's
a will, then if you're the beneficiary or you're the executor,
then you would have access to all of that. So
you don't need my password. You can go to the
bank and you can file paperwork and then they'll give
(07:37):
you what little money I have you want, I'll make sure.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
There's money in there. My sister had that. That was
a fun time she went in there. There wasn't a
dollar less.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yeah, Well, her dad and she was like, ah, yes,
college loans for erased.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
You would think at least a little something to take
care of me and well take care of my sister.
She's going to college at that time, exactly Pennsylvania, you know,
expenses plants.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
But that's another thing.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Let's say you win into someone's uh phone or computer
or into their like secret folder on their on their computer,
and then you realize you learn things about them that
they were into or that they had done that you
never knew and never would have known, and then it
changes the way you think about them. So can't people's
private computer be private forever?
Speaker 5 (08:20):
I feel like it's all up to the person, But
I do think we need to start thinking about a
digital plan after you die, because I've seen people die
and then the last post on their Facebook was like
shout out to Big Booty Keisha, you know, like we
turned out, and it's like, I want that.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
To be the last thing that see he was happy
or she was happy on their way with Big Booty Keisha.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Let me rest you no, like give me a I
think I'm gonna prepare like a final post. So when
I go, Jason gonna go in there, make just hit
post on this final post, Richard Simmons.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Did that, didn't he? Like, I think his family released
something that he wrote or somebody did you know? I
think that's fine, like hit sund when I'm ready.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Right, yeah, I guess just don't. We won't go through
your don't worry again. I mean, I'm dead, so I
mean who cares? But we're not like judging.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
We know you, so we're not really judging what you're
searching unless it was like how do I kill my coworkers?
You know?
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Other than that, I'm like, well I haven't.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
I haven't searched that in several days, so you'd have
a hard time fighting again.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
No, I don't think. I don't think i'm a.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Good example because I mean you're right, like I don't
have secrets.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Like I just I just say everything. But don't you
want to know? To my detriment sometimes like what's up y'all?
This friend?
Speaker 5 (09:26):
So I'm dead, y'all, I did ahead and die?
Speaker 3 (09:29):
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
I didn't go ahead and die? Yeah, And then what
else would it since you're being mean? Now, what's telling y'all?
It's Fred? What else would he say?
Speaker 5 (09:36):
Like I'm dead? That's crazy? But you know, shout out
to the dogs. You know, I'm up here with a
lot of dogs that I rescue and stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I'd better be Yeah, and then like every one of them,
damn dogs better meet me in heaven.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Right. They might be the only ones, but every one
of them that a beat me in heaven.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
You could, you know, do one last, you know, is
waiting bout the phone. You could do whatever you want.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
You could do it last waiting, But that because that's
what my legacy is going. It probably is. Honestly, Remember
that guy that used to do that thing with the dates.
Remember him, what was his name?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Bob ed the whole intro off the Oh.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah, I trust me if this company has anything to
do with it, if I were to die that you'd
probably never stop hearing waiting by the phone. They would
just use a little AI machine to make it sound
like me. It might even be better. Oh and I
remember back in the day, remember, and this is why
so many decades ago, maybe a decade ago, when you
used to have to download the music that you wanted
(10:28):
off iTunes and then you technically owned it. I remember
there were conversations about that. It was if I have
a hard drive full of music because back in the day,
I know this is gonna be hard people to believe.
Back in the day, you didn't stream the song. You
had to spend ninety nine cents to buy the song
you wanted, unless you had the illegal stuff the LimeWire
or the napster or whatever. And then and then it
(10:49):
was on your hard drive and so you had to
like transfer it from device to device as opposed to
now you can just stream it online. So there was
a big conversation about well who owns that? Like if
I die and I spent ten thousand dollars on songs,
then should I get to pass that on to somebody? Well,
it turned out, if you look very carefully, all you
did was lease the song for your life. So then
(11:11):
when your dad, technically no one owns it anymore. That's
how it used to be. Now you don't have to
worry about it anymore. But yeah, back in the day,
because that was a whole conversation was like, well, if
I spent twenty five grand collecting every Beatles song and
every this and that and whatever, and I bought all that,
well then who gets it? Nobody? Nobody gets it, I guess,
And are you ready for the latest at work trend.
(11:35):
It's called ghost working. I mean, how many, how many weeks?
How many different versions of not working but making people
believe it? I mean, and then people want to know
why they get fired. It's like, well, because you pridefully
have been telling everyone about this thing that you're doing
called ghost working. Move over quiet quitting. Now we have
(11:56):
ghost working. That's the practice of looking busy in the
office by carrying around prop notebooks, scheduling fake meetings, or
just typing random words. According to a new survey from
resume Now whatever that is, fifty eight percent of employees
admit to the practice regularly, perhaps an outgrowth of anxiety
over job security, the rise of AI and recession fears.
(12:17):
One expert says the workforce is currently under immense pressure
to appear productive.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
How about just be productive please?
Speaker 2 (12:25):
I mean, if you're worried about AI taking your job,
then wouldn't now be the time to make it look
like you can do better than AI as opposed to
pretending to work. I think a lot of people around
here do that.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
By the way, I was gonna say, that's not new.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
I feel like I've seen notebooks in people's hands and
iPads and.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
A lot of ghost working, a lot of ghost working.
Open it. Now, let's do that. Let me see that. Now,
show me your skin.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
But the way that I'm picking that story up or
that I'm thinking of it, is that, like I don't know,
maybe they're trying to look more busy, like they're working,
but they're trying to be like no, like a I
can't do this, They can't pull off a noteook can
schedule a meeting with us today?
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Right?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Well, no, this is this is exactly not no, this
is exactly the opposite. This is not working but making
it look like you are.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
Yes, what's because I'm out. Look, if you want to
do ghost working, do your thing. I'm not I'm not
a hater, but don't involve me. I hate the person
who is ghost working and then involves everybody else. So
like I got to come to your fake meeting or
I have to. You're sending me random emails about nothing,
like why do why do I have to play this
game with you? Just ghost work on your own, Like,
(13:28):
don't involve me.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
I don't want to go.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
It's okay.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
You you don't really hate it. You don't really like
a ghost worker. You are you you would hate on
a ghost worker because you work really hard, That's what
I'm saying. And so it's like me, you said, I
don't hate on a ghost worker, but you do though,
because it's like you're not doing anything, like you're not
you want us to all to believe that your life
is so hard, and you know what else, you know,
you know where I find this happens. This tends to
(13:52):
happen when everybody around you is actually working their asses off,
and then it's like it's opposed to just working your
ass off. You just tell everybody how hard you're working
and how difficult your life is, and then you will
become resentful of You could happen absolutely say, oh I
got an idea. Why don't you just make yourself as
actually is? What? Why don't you produce as much as
everybody else? And then you don't have to.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
You shouldn't have to say you work hard ever, like
it should just be a parent like.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
But oh, come on, people do it.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
And everybody driving to work right now in every workplace
can think of the person You're like, oh, I'm just
so exhaustly hard. It's like if you know you're right
and the person that's talking. Is like, like, I've never
once heard Jason Brown say that, and Jason Brown works
seventeen hours a day, never once hear him say that
ghost working. But then I think, maybybe you should consider it.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
I want to send you all a bunch of emails
that makes no sense.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
It's a National Rotissary Chicken Day, Rosie, National Bubba Day,
Bubba day.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Hey, that's me.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
A National leave the office early day, which is about
to be me because it's hard to ghost work when you.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Have to talk dude, like I can't. I wish I could. Well,
I shouldn't waste too much because they're probably working on
the AI
