Speaker 1 (00:00):
So you guys, let's harken back to the pandemic for
a second when everything was being handled on Zoom. We
didn't even know what zoom was before twenty twenty. No,
was it even a thing. I guess maybe.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Yeah, I ended up reading an article on that guy
because he like created Zoom and for years it was struggling,
and people in business are like, there's.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
No need for this, We're always going to do in person.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Yeah, and then COVID hit and then baym He's the
smartest guy to ever exist in the world.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
It's pretty crazy.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Yeah, So you know, if you're not the most technologically
advanced person, like your parents or something, they had a
hard time because remember we were like talking with grandparents
and aunts and things like that from Zoom. That's it's
such a crazy thing to think about.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
You know.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
My favorite thing that my dad would do, and my
dad's not that only he's only seventy, but he actually
he's one hundred and seventy. He would talk into the
screen really loud.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
Dad.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
The screen isn't the microphone. Can just talk normal, You
just talk normal, you know.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
The amount of times my parents like didn't turn the
microphone on or like we always there's always something and
then you know, you would get this in regular meetings too.
You know, we would have regular work meetings and there's
always somebody who has no clue what's going on, or
their microphone is on and they're talking like they don't
realize their microphone yea, like.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
They're talking to somebody else at their house in the.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Other roomy and you so there's always some sort of
thing going on, even now with Zoom, like there'll be
people that are still kind of confused and whatever happens.
And so, you know, I feel like I've been fine
with all these virtual meetings and whatever. We do teams
a lot Microsoft teams, and I got that down. Whatever Zoom.
(01:44):
I don't use Zoom as much as I use teams,
and so I'm not as familiar with it, but I've
done Zoom, so it's not that hard. It is what
it is. Well, I got a invite from my little
league that there was a mandatory manager's meeting on Monday.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
That's brutal. It was.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
It was brutal because it was six fifteen, And I'm like,
what made it even more brutal is I had practiced
that day. Practice ended at five thirty and it takes
me about twenty twenty five minutes to drive to and
from the field.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Did you say this was Monday, Yeah, dude, I know,
tell me about it too.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Good games. Yeah, of course, of course that all I care.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Yes, I mean, I rushed home, Cory, my son, listen,
go to practice. No, wait, no, I don't think. I
don't think you'll do that. So I, you know, rush home.
I get home right at like a minute before the meeting,
and I'm so I'm scrambling, and I go, okay, I
gotta log in, and so I get out my laptop,
(02:47):
bring up Zoom. I don't have Zoom on like as
an app or anything on my laptop because I only
do teams on my laptop. And so I had to
go through all these you know, steps to do Zoom
and all that stuff. You're joining the meeting and then
you know it's taking you Do you want to do this?
Speaker 3 (03:05):
You want to do this?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I'm clicking no, hurry up, hurry up. And so, you
know me, I don't like to be late, and so
I'm kind of panicking, and so I finally get into
the meeting and I can't hear anything, and I'm like,
wait a minute, my audio is on. I'm looking at
the thing. My things clicked, and I can't hear anything.
I don't and I can't figure it out. I'm like,
why am I not? Everything's clicked? And now I feel
(03:27):
like I'm the old guy I can't figure out his computer, Like.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Hey, idiot, have you ever worked with technowledge?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
They don't know that this is going on because it's
just on my side because they're talking and I just
can't hear anything.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
So I'm like, what do I do? But if something
to me, I'm screwed. No clue, and so I'm like,
oh god, this is embarrassing. I can't believe this is happening.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
And so I go, all right, I know for a
fact we have zoom on the iPad, so I'm going
to close this out and you know, you'll get grow
grap the iPad and then log in through that and
I should be fine. So I do all that now,
but like the meeting is already underway, and so the
panic is really setting in for me now, you know,
(04:11):
And I'm like, this isn't even really that an important
of a meeting.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
It's not a work meeting. It's a little league meeting, Like,
who cares.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
It doesn't matter what it is. If we're supposed to
be there, we don't like to make.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
No.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Of course, I had it on mute and had the
games on tour, so come on, man, I would hope,
come on man. Wait, WHOA that doesn't make sense. So
I run into my son's room where the iPad is.
I can't find it. I'm struggling, and I finally yell
Jack Wards drive had He's like, it's charging on the floor.
Why why is it on the floor? Not the time
(04:49):
right now. I'll deal with this later. Ground the iPad,
Run into my room, close the door, log in again,
whole thing, trying to find it but bring it up whatever.
Finally get in and then I realize, oh no, this
is not good. So in the zoom app, for some reason,
my wife is logged in as the person that's in
(05:12):
the zoom and so I don't. I'm so panicked to
get into the room. I'm like do I I don't
know how to switch the user and there there is
an icon and I'm all this stuff, but I'm like,
who cares whatever, I'm just gonna walk in to get in.
It is what it is, So I do that, and
and the meeting, you know, is going on, And so
I look down at my little icon and see what
(05:35):
it is. First of all, it says Deborah Papani on there,
and I'm like, oh, that's kind of embarrassing because it's
all these manager dudes. And right, it's a little it's
a little embarrassing, you know that that this guy's on
his wife's That's what I would have said.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I would have totally judged that she must what's up
with that? I feel like We're making a lot of
weird assumption and I'm a female and I'm judging the
entire time. The entire time, like his wife had to
log him in.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Clearly, clearly this guy can't get his own zoo account
of this guy.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Thought.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
The same family calls you it's the worst, it's the worst.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
It hurts on another level. They say that in their
house a lot. I don't know what I know.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Well, for some reason, her or man Robert call her
their son a whoosy boy a.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Lot a lot. Don't be a whoosy boy. Read whoosy boy.
Yeah it fits.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
So yeah, that hurts on another level. So that that's
all going through my head. But then I realized what
really is happening, and I immediately like just freeze, and
I go, oh no. The icon that my wife uses
isn't like a picture of herself, because you'll see if
your camera's off, it goes to whatever your icon is.
(06:58):
Normally it's just your picture, or it will just say
like the initials or your name or something like that.
You can have a background icon which I'm not really
aware of. But my wife decides for her zoom when
she doesn't have her camera on, She's picked a picture.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
The picture that my wife has chosen that all of
these dudes in this zoom are seeing is the characters
at Disneyland of Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Pluto, Daisy, the
actual characters in Disneyland standing in front of the castle.
(07:37):
And I'm like, oh my god, what everybody is seeing
right now in this zoom meeting. And I go, how
do I change that.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
The meeting going on?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
I can't the meeting to change.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
The icon and then come back to it.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
What I do? The boy before he was by Debbie
over here with Disney Debbie.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Here, I did not want of one of the other
managers go heyb.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Here's what's worse die.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
You guys know about this when you do zoom meetings
or virtual meetings, when you speak, your icon comes becomes
the main thing. Yes, and I'm the like veteran manager,
I'm the main guy you know that's returning. These are
all new guys. And so I was asked a lot
of things like Eddie, when you you know, managed last year,
what did you And so I'm like, I'm like, oh no,
(08:37):
oh no. So when I'm mute, I'm like.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
This, did any part of you think of like I
got to get ahead of this and explain this, or
did you not want to.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Draw humiliated as too humiliator?
Speaker 5 (08:55):
He maybe would have made a funny ha ha, because
that he's funny if he wouldn't have been late to
the meeting, if you would have logged on in the beginning,
and I mean, I feel maybe you could have made
a funny.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Joke about it.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
My wife had this happened to me twice where it
says like my name and my wife's name for some reason,
this the boy. And then one time my mother in
law used it and it said her name. Yes, but
I but I was able to figure out how to
change it before I log ahead of time, ahead of time,
because once you log in, I think you have to
lock back out to rename it. But I could deal
(09:25):
with the name, but the icons. You're telling me you
have to you have to tell your wife, Hey, drop
the icons. Yeah, I don't understand it. Five years Olf,
it's her favorite thing. It's her favorite thing. It's embarrassing,
super embarrassing.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Is not doing many business zooms like no, no, she
doesn't have that.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
No, it's not a lot of important meetings going on
with So yeah, super humiliated. So they all have that
over me now
So you guys, let's harken back to the pandemic for
