Speaker 1 (00:02):
Let me see here, let's put a pin in that. Yeah,
we got to put a pin in that. Guess it's
a fresh show. This is what's true. The whole reason
I brought it up, what was one to inform you
of the newest, the latest, the hotness in executive terms,
but also because Paulina, in addition to I mean, I
know you're a little sad today because Hobby went on
vacation without you. But your rant, uh is elevated titles?

(00:23):
You have a problem with people's titles. Oh my god?
Now why is this a triggering to you? And explain? Please?
Like what are you so upset about?

Speaker 2 (00:30):
So I just would assume, you know, if you are
a director of this, right or you are some form
of leader in your position, that's wonderful for you. And
I would assume that it's just a very short title.
I'm the director of X y Z. Why does it
have to be you guys have all seen this. It's
like director of Communications, of eternal affairs and organizational Well,

(00:51):
I'm like, what does that mean?

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Because it means nothing to me. It means nothing. It's
just a lot of words, but it makes it makes
you sound important, right, No, I think that's what it is.
So what you're saying is like, just say what it is?
Just like, tell me what you do? What do you
do here? What does she do?

Speaker 3 (01:05):
Like?

Speaker 1 (01:05):
I want to know what you do? It's just too
many words in people's titles. Yes, And does that not
annoy anybody else? Because I don't understand. Well, the other
thing I've noticed is they just added like I don't
know what a VP means anymore. I don't know what
a senior vice president means. I don't I don't know
what that means because I thought there was a president
and a vice president and then there's a much people
that work there. That's what I thought. But now like

(01:26):
walk around this place, everybody is at least a vice
president and I'm like, what what does that mean? Nothing?
I mean nothing. So I'm the president then of the
frend Show, I'm the president of the Fred Show. You
what you want, I'm the senior one is well, I
don't know if you can be a president because you
got to be a everyone's a senior. Well, I guess
we have one, we have a region president, and then

(01:46):
we have like forty vice presidents. Yeah, I just don't
know what the difference is I want to be senior
vice president of the Fred Show. Want to be done? Done?
Are Boston in North Carolina. He is I believe he
is a vice president, but he is not. I believe
he is not a senior vice president. Which is why

(02:07):
I'll be honest with you. I don't. I don't look
him in the eye. I don't because and he can't
look me in the eye. The only way that you
get to is if you are a senior vice president
or higher rank. Nowise don't address me. I don't know age.
Would you like to be one, too? Well?

Speaker 3 (02:23):
I would like to be the senior vice president of
Internal integrated Affairs. Integrated Yeah, they integrated affairs.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
Let's circle back on that, because no, it's done. That's done.
You can have that title. Cool. What are you, Kaitlin,
You're the senior vice president of Entertainment, Entertainment, Journalism, Communications,
Community Entertainment Journalism, Communications, of Integrated Marketing. No, I do.

(02:51):
I Sometimes I read people's title, I'm like, what is that? Actually?
What is that? Really? We just want to like spice
them up or something. We want to make them just
shine like diamond and then they do. We don't need
to tie put it on there. I honestly think it's
because I think there are people who believe that if
you see a fancier title, you're more likely to like
take the respond to the email or something, or you
know what I mean, Like you're more likely to deuce.

(03:12):
I don't know if it looks fancier, like, well, I
don't want to deal with the VP. I prefer to
deal with with the s VP SVPPP. Yeah. Oh see, okay,
well so if you don't have an ask in front
of it, don't even bother.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Right updating my email signature as we see you honestly
should if anyone notices, yeah, you are the senior vice.
Whatever the hell you just said. That's a greater marketing communications. Yeah,
I couldn't tell you what that is. I'm gonna let Kaitlin,
you're entertainer report in about five minutes. I'll let you
play for everyone, uh, the audio that is sweeping the
nation of what is believed to be maybe arguably the

(03:50):
worst national anthem ever performed ever. Wow, I'm gonna let
you have that one.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
That's all you. It's a slow news day. I really
need that one. You know what I got you? I
got you Donald Trump has announced this or JD. Vanci
Ohio will be his running mate. And there's your political
news for the day. Elon Musk, the multi billionaire behind
Tesla and SpaceX. He claims that he is an alien.
That's what he is saying. In France at a worldwide
summit for technological startups, he was asked by an event

(04:16):
host if he was an alien, and the fifty two
year old entrepreneur laughed and said, I am an alien. Yes,
I keep telling people I'm an alien. Nobody believes me.
He was officially born in South Africa in nineteen seventy one,
and he does have US and Canadian citizenship, but he says, guys,
he is an alien. See when we got the thirteen
fighting over who gets to be junior vice president. Now, look,

(04:39):
you guys are gonna have to work this out amongst yourself.
I can't be giving everybody. I know there's only thirteen
of you, but I can't be giving everybody a title.
So it's kind of like you guys are very I thought,
fair and reasonable and organized about coming up with your
own rankings. I mean, everybody agrees. Listener Number one of
thirteen is Tanita. There's no argument about it. But then

(05:01):
after that it gets a little muddy because you got
Aaron mccappy meal, you got Wes loop Tom, you got
mister Nasty in there. You got truck driver Brad. You
haven't heard of him in a while, so he might
might be out of the thirteen. But I mean we
can go on and on. Oh yeah, just up to thirteen,
missus genus C. I mean, but you know, and then

(05:21):
but you're gonna have to work that out. Who's gonna
be the senior vice presidents and the vice presidents. I
don't know. The latest thing we're worried about now is
hugging robbers, So you gotta be vigilant because this is
a new, I guess technique to rob people, where like
a woman will just walk up to you with your
with their arms out like they want to hug you,
and then they hug you and then forcibly rob you,

(05:42):
or someone else comes while they're hugging you and robs you.
So some random person's like, hey, good to see you,
and while you're trying to figure out, like why you're
about to touch me, somebody comes and steals all your stuff.
Oh we know, I see you every morning is that
what you do when no one you give me a
big hug, right, and probably on pocketca every day Kiki
wants to give me this big hug and then these

(06:04):
too stand up to greet me, and then I can't
find my wallet anywhere. No wonder worry about it. But
this is the latest thing we're worried about. Now. What
looks like kindness now is just someone trying to rob you. No,
my friend on the train there was a dude in
a walker and he acted like he was falling on her,
so she caught him and that's how she got robbed.
Isn't that like ridiculous? No? But yeah, a random stranger

(06:25):
trying to hug me. I mean, I'm a hugger when
I first meet people, but if there's no pleasantries first,
I'm not hugging you weirdo. Like here we pizza pat see,
here we go. See. I can't do this, guys. I
can't do it like you. Guys are gonna have to
figure it out. You were so kind and orderly and
and and uh in working out your own Oh Rufio
needs a title. No, okay, I mean he already has one.

(06:49):
Would I would love to hear what he titles him. Jason,
what would you title yourself? I mean, because you actually
are a manager. The funny thing is the only person
who's actually a manager in this room is Jason. So well,
you would be the senior vice president of I just
want to be of Fred not screwing up? Yeah, why not? Yeah,
well we can make it fancier than that of Conduct

vice president of Standards. Yeah. I didn't want to be
the HB I C. That's all. Okay, you can beat that.

double we'll double click on that and we'll look into him.

I didn't know they had eleven other ones. I knew

that is. The new offering is Korean Barbecue, sweet and Spicy.
