Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, it is Mojo in the morning.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
This weekend I went golfing with two of our big
bosses that work for iHeart Hartley Atkins, who just recently,
hardly kind of took a different role than the role that.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
He has right now. He's got like a consulting role.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I guess Hartley and Brad Harden, who is our head
of program. He's like our big guy. He's actually Tony's
boss for us. Oh, first off, they know us, they
know the show, which is good. The show does well
for the company, and they're actually very you know, nice
guys about what we do, so thank you to them.
But it was interesting because we were golfing and I
(00:38):
did not know what kind of golfers these guys were,
nor do they know what kind of golfers I am
or golfer I am. I'm not a good golfer for
anybody that ever knows anything about golf. I am like
a twenty three handicap. Basically that means I'm not good,
like good people are usually like in the teens or
is down to nothing, you know what I mean. Like
(01:00):
a pro golfer is called the scratch golfer. It's like
basically zero and really great pro golfers are in the negatives.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
So Lord a number better golfer.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
So those guys are all about my pace and we're
all golfing and we literally lost more balls than we
actually you know, brought with us. But it was funny
because the joke was you can tell that none of
us are really good at golfing because we don't go
out on the golf course in golf all the time.
And I do golf a lot, but I end up
golfing a lot of like, all right, I'll do like
(01:30):
eight holes and then let me get something from the
halfway house or you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Or the beer card girl.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Long story short, We were having a conversation that got
me talking about people who are really good golfers. And
if you're somebody that is a golfer, I want you
to think about this. There is an app called I
think it's gin or gin it's g hi n and
that is the thing that ranks you as far as
(01:56):
how good of a golfer.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
You are compared to how like who.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Ranks you based on how well you do on each
round of golf. So when you get down golfing, you
put in your score and then it will give you
that score that I told you that twenty three score.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Okay, I'm not a golfer, so I'm just trying to follow.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
So here's here's the interesting thing. There is this app
that is out there, and if you're somebody that golfs
a lot and you don't want your boss to know
that you golf a lot, you probably shouldn't be putting
your scores in there, because if you do put your
scores in there, it's very good that your boss is
basically looking at how many times you golf in.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
A given time.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
So it says when says the date when you've gotten.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Your score, doesn't tell you the time, It just tells
you that the yeah, the course and the date. Okay,
So if you're golfing Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, but
yet you're telling your boss that you're a golfing you know,
only on you know, Saturdays, on your days off, right,
your boss is going to know. And so long story short,
they ain't working if you're out, they're on a golf
(03:00):
course unless you're taking clients out. And if you're not,
you know, dealing with you know, work stuff, more than
likely you're not bringing home the sales. So long story
short with this, it got me thinking and I asked
a friend of mine who is a manager of a
very big company that is here in Michigan, all right,
And he told me, I cannot say the name of
the company, but I'm going to tell you guys off
(03:22):
the air the name of the company. And he says
that I told him this whole story. And he said, well,
you know, the way that we check our employees is
through their computers and phones. And I said, really, I said,
what do you mean? And he says, they all have
company phones and they have company computers. And he said,
we have fine minds on all those location services. So
when our when our employees are saying that they're out
(03:45):
doing stuff, you know, for work, we can see they're
at home all the time, or sitting on their couch
or whatever the deal is, because they've got that. So
I wanted to ask this question, and it's just a
random question. What are the ways that employers are checking
in on you? And have you ever been busted by
(04:05):
your employer when you weren't working or you weren't doing
what you're supposed to be doing. Because there are got
to be some other ways that that they're doing it.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Now.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
We have a job where you know where we are
at all times. Right, we're either on the air, we're
off the air.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Rude.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Although the very first morning show that I worked for
shout out to the Morning Mess in Indianapolis, Indiana. The
host of that show did not ever believe you if
you said you were actually sick and that's where and
you were going to stay home and not come into
the show. So he would, and this happened to me,
he would send an intern to your house to knock
(04:39):
on your door to take a look at you, to
see how sick, how you really were.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Was he doing that as a bit like joking around
or was he doing it because he.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Was being serious. I think it was fifty to fifty
really yeah, Wow, I wouldn't open my door. That's what
it is.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
You know what you do? You call the police. I
got an intruder.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
Yet, friend of mine works in medical sales. This is
like same but different. She works at medical sales. She
says that she has the type of job where she's
able to finish whatever her duties are extremely quickly. Like say,
for example, they say it's going to take you a
full eight hour shift to get all through these little
sales sheets. She can do it in four it but
obviously she wants to get paid for the full eight.
(05:18):
She went online and found a mouse that will move
on its own, so that, wow, while they're checking to
see when you're quote unquote idol on the computer, if
you're not doing anything, if you're not flipping through screens,
whatever case may be, her mouse will move for her.
Speaker 7 (05:34):
The same thing happened when work from home was new,
Like everyone that I knew at quickened. They would put
a YouTube video up that was like a twelve hour
YouTube video and you could just leave it on your
screen so it looks like somebody's active on the computer
doing something. But they were like getting their hair done.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
By the way, can they have that mouse thing?
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Take those her tests that we take right just like
just like beyond there, like faking the whole thing. Neil
Feldman from Carl's Golfland wanted to give me the correct terminology.
It's your handicap, so this is what your your deal is.
But in Neil, my handicap is golf. That is pretty
much what it is. But it's interesting because think about this,
(06:16):
think of your like a big time person, like say
say that you're say you're like a Dan Gilbert or something,
and you have a financial advisor that takes care of
your money for you, Like he's the guy that's managing
your money. And you find out that your financial advisor
golf's every single day or two rounds of golf.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
He's not managing your money, he's managing his golf game.
Would you want that guy being your guy?
Speaker 4 (06:40):
You know?
Speaker 3 (06:40):
So this just happened to my husband Wes within the
past couple of months, and this girl no longer works
for his company, so I feel like I can talk
about it now. But it was similar to what you said, keV,
where he had a girl working for him on his team,
and she probably was really good at what she did,
and so for her job for Wes's company, she could
get done within a couple of hours. Well, unbeknownst to
(07:01):
everybody until she got caught, she was working two jobs.
She was also working full time for another company, which
is a big no no for them, and she didn't
get caught until she worked remote. She was in a
totally separate state until she would always have her camera off,
camera off for all their meetings. And finally in one
of the meetings was almost like you need to turn
your camera on and obviously I won't say her name.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
And she didn't.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Realize that she was at her other job in the
office that had all the branding and was it a
competitive and so they it wasn't a competitor but her state.
But it was still like that's how they figured out
that she had she was working at the same time,
full time jobs at the same time, a double life.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yn exactly, what's up man, how you doing.
Speaker 8 (07:45):
Im?
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Good?
Speaker 5 (07:46):
Good morning guys, how are you good.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
We're trying to figure out a way to screw the
company now, actually we're trying to find a way to
not get caught.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
What's happening? So yeah, I got.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
I got caught a pretty funny way.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
So I'd out on Friday and.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
My buddy text me at like four o'clock.
Speaker 8 (08:03):
He's like, hey, dude, there's this disc golf tournament two
weeks out, you know.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Take off.
Speaker 8 (08:08):
So I put the time in thinking I was going.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
To get it off.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
You know, I'd come to work Monday, look at my
singing and says, no, it's got declined because other people
had already had it off. And I was like, man,
I never asked.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
For time off.
Speaker 9 (08:21):

Speaker 8 (08:24):
So the tournament day comes around, I call off to
play hooky.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
And they're giving me cramp for it.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
They're like, oh, no, too many people off.
Speaker 8 (08:30):
I'm like, oh, I'm so sorry, I'm so sick.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
On the toilet.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
You know, I don't do this tournament, end up destroying it.
Speaker 8 (08:39):
You know, I take second place, end up taking closest
pin and all that, they take my picture and all this.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
I didn't think anybody at my company knew I played
disc golf.
Speaker 8 (08:48):
I walk into work the next day feeling like, oh.
Speaker 9 (08:50):
Yeah, I feel great.
Speaker 8 (08:51):

and so I ended.

manager who was kind of like my lead HR person.
She we got my actual manager, but she was like
the next closest thing. I used to run into her
at the nail salon during the worksta and we both
weren't working, so it was just kind of like an
(10:02):
unspoken role that we just didn't say anything to each other.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
I have to tell you, I've got I've gone to
this nail places by my house and gotten pedicures, and
