Thank you.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
You too.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
I'm talking to you. By the way, I'm not talking
to Jed and Ashley. I'm talking to you. Oh eight
hundred and four, oh na ninety three, ninety three. How
many unread emails do you have? Because I've got a
list of the reasons why people don't check their emails.
(00:34):
How many unread emails do you guys have?
Speaker 3 (00:35):
I have sixty seven, Joe? Okay, where would it say
my unread emails are?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Though?
Speaker 3 (00:43):
I would say in your inbox. There's a blue number.
You have seventeen hundred and forty.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Well, I think that's the other that still counts, all right, okay,
but these are like my coupon.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Right, there's a potential that maybe we shouldn't your work email,
your iHeart email, all right. In twenty twenty six, this
is what I'm making a rule. By the way, especially
our executive producer, you have to have zero unready emails, okay,
because we can't miss things, right, Yep, that's gotta change.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
These are.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
These are others what do you have in your normal?
Speaker 4 (01:22):
My normal I do trickfully, I can tell you I
don't have any, okay, because on my.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Phone she doesn't ever respond to my email.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Yeah, I don't respond to yours, but I didn't respond
rails line happiness.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
It's the case, all right. So here's the deal. How
many unread emails do you have? Eight hundred four oh
n ninety three ninety three cond text it at ninety
seven seven two zero. Now you guys, tell me where
you fall under Okay, the first one, why you wouldn't
read it?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Work email?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
You're a perfectionist, and now you're not really perfect at
answering emails, but you're avoiding it because you're afraid that
you're going to respond poorly. You are nervous that because
everyone always says that I'm a big believer of it
as well, that emails you can kind of like. It's
hard to tell someone's exactly absolutely.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
I agree. Number two, you procrastinate.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I would think that Jed and I probably fall under
that category more than the others. But you don't respond
because it could wait another day, and then another day
and then another day next.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
You know, way too many emails shall be able shabbily.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I thought that Jed maybe misspelled something, but shibby, Yes,
what do you get a name like that?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
That's a beautiful name.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
Oh it's a French wine. You can buy it at
the grocery store.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Look at you go. I love it. That's why my
parents name me highline.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Should bile?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
You have five hundred on ready emails.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
In my work email? Yes, so, like we have general
emails that get sent out to everyone that aren't personal
to you, and I don't bother to delete those sometimes
and then other times it's like the email is important
and like maybe next week I'll need to go back
(03:29):
and look at it, but I don't need to look
at it right now, so then it just sits there.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
See if I do that alphabet, that's why I have
to respond immediately.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
Except for me, well, a lot of them aren't even
like responding ones. It's just they're there for my own
personal benefit, like just to let me know, oh something happened,
but it's like I don't need to do anything about it.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Okay, all right, so let's see where you fall.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
Emails like twelve thousand, though.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Tell me which one you relate to at this because
I got the full list. So either you're a perfectionist,
you procrastinate, you're afraid of deleting something important. I think
you're probably that right. That sounds like, yeah, you can
be obsessive. You are you obsessive, You're easily overwhelmed, you
(04:16):
have time management strategy. Maybe it's that one you don't
mind ignoring people. That's definitely actually in box zero means
nothing to you.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
You don't really care if it's a zero.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
And then the last one would be you save things
for reference, which also could be you.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Which one do you think it is?
Speaker 5 (04:34):
That one? Because I don't even delete my email. I
archive them so then I can just like search them
in case I need them again.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
All right, good, Hey, Shabblee, I'm gonna remember your name forever.
You better call in more often.
Speaker 5 (04:47):

does it make you feel?
Speaker 2 (05:52):

same time.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
