• 1:46
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, man, I'm gonna tell you where I've been.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_00: I've been at work.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_00: I've been at work.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_00: I've been at work all the time.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_00: That's where I've been.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_00: If I'm if you know, if there's any doubt where I'm at, I'm at work.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: I am at work.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_00: I can't keep saying I can't stop saying that.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_00: I've been at work.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: Uh like again, the podcast, I last episode I did was August 8th.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_00: And uh that's around the same time all the kids went back to school.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_00: Once school came back, all the all almost every single employee went back to school.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: High school, college, they were gone.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_00: Right?
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: So it was just me and the other three managers pull doing everything in the kitchen just to keep that place up and running.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: So that's that's where I've been.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_00: And if you, yeah, you know, if you say, hey, Mike, you're slacking, I'm gonna give that to you.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_00: Because I identify myself as slacking because I have done episodes, but I listen back to them like I do that cringe, mmm, I don't like that.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_00: And mmm, I don't like that.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm not gonna air those without being redone again.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_00: So that's my dedication.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_00: I'm identifying my slacking on the podcast.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_00: We're getting 40.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_00: And ladies and gentlemen, we're getting 40 this year.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_00: I know August 8th was the last one, and what's today?
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_00: Today's August 13th, but we're getting 40.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, there's no eighth pants or butts.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_00: We're knocking 40, and we're gonna do it that way.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm identifying the slacking that's been going on with the um with the podcast.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_00: Um, that's not the only thing.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_00: The only thing, other than other thing that uh I've been slacking in was my my workout routine.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_00: I haven't worked out in a good two months.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_00: I've done a couple push-ups, but I mean I'm talking about getting on the grind, lifting, and all that stuff.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: And what's even more motivating is one of my friends, Dylan, he's he's working out.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm not trying to put his business out there, but I am.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_00: I see him working out, like, yo, this dude's working out.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, yo, why am I not working out?
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_00: And now it's like I always like the competition, I always like the idea of competing with somebody and all that stuff.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_00: If if you're an Aquarius, I think you you automatically have that mentality to compete with somebody.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_00: So that's what I'm gonna do.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna air it out, put it all out there, so therefore, that'll be my marker when someone's listening to this episode and be like, Mike, you working out?
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna tell them shut up.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_00: Like, shut up, dude.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_00: That's none of your business.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_00: But in hindsight or in my mind, I am gonna be working out because I'm putting it out there.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_00: I'm putting it all out there that, hey, your boy's been slacking on the podcast, your boy's been slacking physically, and you know, enough is enough.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going all in on the podcast.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going all in on the podcast, and it's time to get it.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_00: It's time to get the swole six pack.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_00: I've never had a six-pack before.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_00: I came close.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_00: I came close.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_00: I thought I had one big pack down there, but yo.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_00: Uh no, all seriousness.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_00: Like, yo, I was lifting 225, had the solid back, uh, leg, you know, legs never never work out for me.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_00: Firm booty.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_00: I had the firm booty, but not, you know, as always, that hurts.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_00: That's the worst thing about leg day.
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_00: You you when you do leg day, you gotta walk around, it just hurts so bad.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_00: But no more slacking.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I'm putting it all out there.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_00: 184 right now, August 13th.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_00: Let's get it.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_00: Let's get back to being physical.
• 5:09
  SPEAKER_00: And how, like, my thing is like, how do you do that?
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_00: Like, how do you get from the slacker mentality to being motivated?
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_00: At least for me.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_00: Now, what I do, I like a couple of days ago identified the problem that hey, I've been slacking.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_00: I've been slacking being, you know, with the podcast, I've been slacking with the body, and I've been slacking with my diet, and you know, all these things are daily routine.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_00: Like, see, one of the things that, you know, working in the kitchen all the time is like you're surrounded by coke and the drinks and like the cookies and all that, the easy stuff.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_00: And I've I fought that for a long time, but again, recently, because of the slacker mentality, I've fallen off.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_00: But again, as I'm saying right now, today's the last day of that.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_00: Well, no, let me let me take that back.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_00: Monday, because you know we start start start on the month, start, start the week, right, right?
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_00: And build yourself, like mentally build yourself.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_00: But no, again, like how do you identify the film that you're being a slacker to being somebody who's motivated?
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_00: And I say, identify, identify the problems, and then make those problems to your physical goals.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_00: Like, for example, when season two of the WDYM, I'm gonna put a board up in the podcast room, I'm gonna put 40 numbers up, one through 40, and cross them out as I go.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_00: So therefore, I can stay motivated and get that.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_00: See, the smart thing about that is I built, I built in times off just in case.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_00: See, 40 episodes, and then on the physical, the weight lifting and that it's pictures.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_00: You know, you take pictures of yourself and you see yourself growing or you know, getting stronger, and this, that, and the other.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_00: That's the way to do it, is to make your goals physical so you can see them every day.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_00: So that's that.
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_00: So that's why the slacker mentality, that's how you beat a slacker mentality, in my in my view, is to make those goals physical.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_00: But yeah.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_00: But back to the second part is like work.
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_00: Like, why have you been overworking?
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_00: Again, I said like the kids went back to school.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_00: Um, again, right when right when August around that time frame, all the kids went back to to either high school or to the uh university, right?
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_00: So when that happens, I always always look back, always think like who is this who are your good employees and your bad employees, right?
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_00: Like, always think back, like since I've been with this company for almost what three years now, you always identify your good employees and your bad employees.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_00: And like it always is funny about this.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_00: When you have employees, you always have like three or four good employees and almost like double the bad employees.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_00: Like, and they're not, they're not like when I say bad, they're not all bad.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_00: Like, first guy, and here's another funny thing.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_00: Like, if you're if you work with me and you hear your name, or you don't hear your name, let me say, if you hear your name, it's a good thing, right?
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_00: It's a good thing I think positive of you.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_00: But if if you're if you're a bad employee, you are Barbie, you are uh a fictitious name, so you cannot identify, yeah, he's talking about me.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_00: Because I'd be like, no, I ain't I could be talking about anybody, but I'm not talking about you specifically, unless you do good, right?
• 8:39
  SPEAKER_00: So I I I've talked about two of them before.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_00: I've talked about Brooklyn.
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_00: I had Brooklyn back at Westover, great employee.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_00: She was awesome, you know what I'm saying?
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_00: So she was good, but then when you have a good employee, you got bad employees, like let's say, I don't know, Tanya.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_00: Tanya was a bad employee.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_00: Now, the thing with this one is that I was fooled from the get-go.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_00: Like when we had the interview process, I did the interview, and she's like, you know, we're talking, like, hey, tell me about yourself.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_00: She'd be like, Yeah, I'm a cook, you know, da-da-da-da.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, okay, great.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_00: And then even back then, it wasn't too picky.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_00: You know, you got two arms, two legs, a brain, and you know something about cooking, you're hired, right?
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_00: So when she comes in, she's all talking, you know, hey, yeah, you know, welcome.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_00: This is my first day of work.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_00: I'm so happy.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_00: So thank you for, you know, picking me and you know, me, let me be in your cook.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_00: And someone else in the background sees her too.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_00: It's like, oh, hey, Tanya.
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_00: And then everybody's like, oh, hey, hey, Tanya.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_00: She's like, hey, how are you doing?
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_00: And I walk away because you know, I've done the greeting and all that stuff.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_00: So I go back to my office to mind my business.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_00: When that same employee goes up, closes the door, it's like, hey, I'm like, what's up?
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_00: She's like, did you hire her?
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_00: I said, yeah, I did.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_00: Now I'm concerned.
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_00: She's like, yeah, I hired her.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_00: She's like, she's no cook.
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_00: I said, I said, what do you what do you mean she's no cook?
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you go, what do you mean?
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_00: What do you mean she's no cook?
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_00: She's like, no, she's not a cook.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_00: She's a prep cook.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_00: All she did is make cookies, sandwiches, and salads.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_00: That's all she did.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_00: I said, Are you kidding me?
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_00: Are you are you joking me?
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_00: She didn't say that.
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_00: She didn't say that in the interview.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_00: She lied to me.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_00: So now I'm I'm eagle eye.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_00: I'm watching her.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_00: Watching her.
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_00: See if she's gonna mess up something.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_00: Just eagle eye, watching her everywhere she goes, I'm watching her.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_00: Like, oh man, I can't I can't believe she kind of lied to me about her job.
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_00: But I'm gonna give the benefit of the doubt.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna be like, all right, let's just see what happens, right?
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_00: So the first time, the first incident we have, it's like, you know, she has we had it's a rice dish.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_00: And she's like, Mike, you want to try my food?
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_00: And this one like, no, I do not want to try your food.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_00: I do not want to try when when people ask me, because again, I'm a chef, when people ask me, Mike, do you want to try my food?
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_00: I look at who it is, right?
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_00: We have some people that don't wear gloves, some people that don't know how to cook, and there's some people that do cook, and then the people that don't cook hardly ask me, rarely ask me to try their food, unless they taste something like something wrong.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_00: But getting back to Tanya, it's like trying my food, and it's rice.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_00: I said, Okay, look at the rice, right?
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_00: White rice, plain as day.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_00: I already know, I already know what the problem is.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_00: So I tried the rice.
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_00: It's like, what do you think?
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_00: I said, I said, did you try the rice?
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_00: She's like, no.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, well, try the rice.
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_00: It's like, try it right.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, what's the problem?
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_00: It's like, nothing.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_00: I said, no, it needs salt and pepper, it needs some seasoning.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_00: I know we're cooking for the elderly, but the elderly still have taste buds.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_00: You can at least put some butter, a little butter on it.
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_00: Little butter goes far away.
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_00: But she didn't, she didn't do that.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_00: So that was like, okay, I'm gonna let that slide, right?
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_00: So the second one, the second event was uh milk.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_00: We we we, you know, elderly people, they love they love milk.
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_00: They love milk so much they don't even call it milk.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_00: It's milk.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_00: That's what they say.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_00: Milk.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_00: They love milk.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_00: They identify with milk, milk is their thing, and uh that's that's it, right?
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_00: Uh so we had all this milk in in the refrigerator.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_00: She's like, Mike, I'm gonna get a couple gallons of milk.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_00: And I said, I said, Tanya, I said, the milk is stacked pretty high.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_00: Do you want me to get it for you?
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_00: She's like, no, you don't gotta get it for me.
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_00: I said, Are you sure?
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_00: You don't, it's stacked really high, and I don't want it to fall.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_00: I said, Do you want me to get the milk?
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_00: She's like, No, no, no.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_00: I said, Okay, that's fine.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_00: I don't get the milk for her, right?
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_00: I said, you know what?
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_00: She got it, she's grown, she can handle this.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_00: I turn my back, 30 seconds later, goodbye, spash, spash, splash, splash.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_00: She spilt the milk, and it was gallons, like at least six gallons of milk, right?
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_00: Six gallons of milk all over the floor, just everywhere, everywhere.
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_00: And then she gets out of the fridge and she stands in a puddle of milk and just stands and was like, I'm sorry, Michael.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_00: I said, Okay, that's cool.
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_00: But go get a mop and mop this stuff up.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_00: Do you realize how bad it's gonna stink the next morning if you don't get all this milk up?
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_00: And so she's hustling around, getting them cleaning up.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, oh man, that's like why did she lie to me?
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_00: She's not you're not a cook.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_00: If you I mean, accidents happen, I get that.
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_00: But no.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_00: So that was the second time.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_00: The third time, and it's even like somebody recorded me.
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_00: How dare they?
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_00: But I'm glad they did.
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_00: This is the one, the one time, this one, she uh she had she I've been on her all the time.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_00: Like, look, you gotta do better.

• 13:56
  SPEAKER_00: You know, you need to you need to show up, cook this food.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_00: So she cooks the food, she's telling me all like I'm doing good, Michael.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_00: And I said, Yep, you sure are.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm I'm encouraging her, I'm being a good manager, you know, like hey, you know, good job.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_00: She and she so here's the thing she has it in the warmers for hours.

  SPEAKER_00: And it doesn't dawn on me because you know, I'm I'm you know, I'm I'm being lenient, like, you know, I'm not being on her all the time, just grind, you know, like make sure you're doing this right.

  SPEAKER_00: She said, Yep.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_00: So okay, let's look at the food.
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_00: She opens it up and there's no steam coming off.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_00: I'm looking at it, like, oh shoot.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_00: That don't look good.
• 14:44

• 21:17
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, yeah, whatever, it's cool.
• 21:19
  SPEAKER_00: Then my boss calls me and says, Hey, that trainee ready?

• 21:26
  SPEAKER_00: He's like, Yeah, we're gonna have to take her to Berkeley.

  SPEAKER_00: It's like, okay.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_00: So her picking up the pace wasn't picking up the pace at all.
• 21:50
  SPEAKER_00: She was still slow as slow as molasses.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_00: And the thing about her, she would drag her foot.
• 21:54
  SPEAKER_00: You could hear her going.
• 21:59
  unknown: Like,
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_00: That's how you walk.
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_00: Like, what's going on?
• 22:03
  SPEAKER_00: So I we shipped her off to the other place, the other location.
• 22:09
  SPEAKER_00: And I would have to work at the other at Berkeley.

  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 22:27
  SPEAKER_00: And then she would drop a bomb on me.
• 22:30
  SPEAKER_00: Like, what I mean by a bomb, she would tell me something extremely personal in her life that no management training, no military training, nothing could prepare you for, right?
• 22:41
  SPEAKER_00: She would say something.
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_00: Now, again, I'm not gonna put all her business out there.
• 22:46
  SPEAKER_00: That's not my place.
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not gonna do that.
• 22:49
  SPEAKER_00: So, yeah, my dog was shot and beaten in front of me.
• 22:52

  SPEAKER_00: What ask yourself, what would you do in that situation?
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_00: Now make that a more severe situation.
• 23:05
  SPEAKER_00: Then it turns into something like I I there's no training for that.
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_00: So why are you telling me your personal information?
• 23:11
  SPEAKER_00: All I asked for was the butter for the biscuits that I'm putting on this plate.
• 23:15
  SPEAKER_00: Let me get the butter.
• 23:15
  SPEAKER_00: It's like when I say let me get the butter, it's like yeah, my dog was shot and killed in front of me.
• 23:21
  SPEAKER_00: What?
• 23:22
  SPEAKER_00: Why?
• 23:23
  SPEAKER_00: There's no training for that.
• 23:25
  SPEAKER_00: There's no training to say when an employee comes to you and tells you something significant happened in your life, what do you do?
• 23:31
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 23:33
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 23:35
  unknown: I do not know.
• 23:38
  SPEAKER_00: So she didn't make it there, and they brought her back over to my location, my main location, Jamestown.
• 23:46
  SPEAKER_00: And then everybody's complaining, oh my god, Allie's back?
• 23:49
  SPEAKER_00: Why is Allie back?
• 23:50
  SPEAKER_00: Why is she like, why is Allie back?
• 23:52
  SPEAKER_00: Allie's so slow.
• 23:53
  SPEAKER_00: And so me being a good manager, I am, I try to motivate her.
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_00: Like, look, you do well here.
• 23:59
  SPEAKER_00: There's an open shift lead, the shift lead server spot.
• 24:03
  SPEAKER_00: You can do it.
• 24:04
  SPEAKER_00: She's like, you think I could do it?
• 24:06
  SPEAKER_00: And my mind like, no, you can't, but I'm gonna tell you you can, so you can be motivated.
• 24:10
  SPEAKER_00: So if you be motivated, you do the tickets, you know, get the tickets out to them to this to the uh residence, so they can fill it out.
• 24:18
  SPEAKER_00: We will have no problem.
• 24:19
  SPEAKER_00: She's like, I said, yeah, I think you can you think you could do it?

  SPEAKER_00: So the very first day, the very first day after this conversation, she's all motivated, working, blah, blah, blah.
• 24:32
  SPEAKER_00: And then I noticed the tickets ain't out.
• 24:34
  SPEAKER_00: So when the tickets are not out at a if not, they're not out by the morning or no later than noon, you have a good chance to get them back before dinner.
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_00: These weren't out at 1.30.
• 24:45
  SPEAKER_00: So who's whoever's the the dinner server is screwed because they have to get all these tickets.
• 24:51
  SPEAKER_00: So I had all these tickets, I'm like, hey, Allie, why ain't these tickets in?
• 24:56
  SPEAKER_00: She's like, well, since you're here, I thought you would do them.
• 24:58
  SPEAKER_00: I said, ain't this something?

  SPEAKER_00: The other one, Molly.
• 25:33
  SPEAKER_00: Molly, she was just full of attitude, full of vinegar and attitude.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, what's wrong with you?
• 25:39
  SPEAKER_00: I again, I never worked with her.

  SPEAKER_00: I'm pretty sure there's a whole bunch of shirts here.
• 26:07
  SPEAKER_00: Someone handed you a shirt.
• 26:09
  SPEAKER_00: And then she goes like this, like, look, man, if your boss don't say nothing to me, I ain't wearing a shirt.

  SPEAKER_00: She's coming at me crazy.
• 26:21
  SPEAKER_00: I said, okay, I got you.
• 26:24
  SPEAKER_00: So that was my first defeat.
• 26:25
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, yo, this one's gonna be a challenge because I don't get to work up there to to coach her, to like, to season her, to make her see that you ain't in, you ain't in the right.
• 26:37
  SPEAKER_00: You ain't in the right at all.

  SPEAKER_00: I want you to see the schedule.
• 36:36
  SPEAKER_00: You know, if you see any problems, let me know.
• 36:40
  SPEAKER_00: That didn't work out as I want it to, but I was probably doing too much for someone at that time.
• 36:47
  SPEAKER_00: You know, she's great employee.
• 36:50
  SPEAKER_00: Great employee.
• 36:51
  SPEAKER_00: And then her best friend is another one.
• 36:54

  SPEAKER_00: I gotta worry about them not doing a job.
• 37:24
  SPEAKER_00: I don't have to.
• 37:26
  SPEAKER_00: I'm so so used to having bad employees, I don't know how to treat a good employee.
• 37:31
  SPEAKER_00: Like I'm just so relieved to have good employees.
• 37:34
  SPEAKER_00: And the good thing about Riley is like we can have like conversations.
• 37:37
  SPEAKER_00: She likes to argue.
• 37:38
  SPEAKER_00: I don't mind arguing or or I'm sorry, debate.

• 37:54
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, Riley, I had no choice but to fire TikTok.
• 37:57
  SPEAKER_00: She's like, well, I don't think so, Mike.

• 38:12
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, yo, I don't mind a sharp mind.
• 38:16
  SPEAKER_00: And that's what Riley has, and that's what Jalen has.
• 38:19
  SPEAKER_00: And that's why play the music one more time.
• 38:25
  SPEAKER_00: That's what makes about being a manager a good thing about being a manager is that you when you get good employees, it makes the job go so well.
• 38:36
