  Speaker 1: Hey, thank you for having us on. It's Cubby, Christine,
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: producer Kristen on this Tuesday morning. And you were telling me, Christine,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: because I have a daughter, I have a son too,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: but because I have a daughter, that might mean something.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Yes. Might mean that you'd make an excellent boss.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Well, those days have passed.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: I had the chance.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: No. You're saying there's a chance?
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: What does this mean, though? Why would I be a
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: good boss?
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, so we'll circle back to when Cubby had a chance.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: That's a boss term right there.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: That is a boss term right there. But yeah, apparently
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: girl dads are quote-unquote better bosses. So this is a
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: study over researchers that looked at so many different companies
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: and they find this pattern that when you have a
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: male boss who raised daughters, he is more likely to
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: hire women, promote women... And even help close the pay gap.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Interesting.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, we have a good boss here, though.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: So we can't. I don't know if they're.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Well, we have a female boss.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: A female boss.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Which is wonderful. Yeah. But this is about specifically with
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: the guys. The theory is that having a daughter makes
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: gender inequality more personal and easier to recognize. So no surprise.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Research found companies. didn't suffer any drop in performance when
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: more women were hired and promoted. So if you've got
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: a boss who's a proud girl dad, science says he
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: just might be a little more tuned into workplace fairness.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: And again, that equal pay and hiring and promoting women.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: That's very interesting.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Something we definitely look for, an attribute in a boss.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: So go for it, Cubby.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: You know, I never was a boss. I had the
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: opportunity one time.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was wondering about that.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: This was a long time ago when I was working
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: in Houston.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Oh, back, all the way back.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Before I came to Z100, I was about ready to
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: depart because I got the job offer here in New York.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: And the general manager at the radio station I was
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: working at in Houston was like, would you like to
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: be program director here? Would you be the boss? And
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I was the MD, the music director at that radio
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: station at the time. So that would have been a
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: promotion and I would have been in charge of the
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: programming team and I'd be interacting with the sales department,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Lots of responsibility.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: And I said, thank you so much. And I said, no.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: And I came to New York and I, looking back,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: things worked out, but I was also coming into a situation.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I didn't know how it was going to work out here.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: So I had an easy, I could have said yes.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: And probably still been there right now. Right. But the responsibility,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I just nothing but props and respect to bosses. Cause
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: you just have different personalities coming at you. You have
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: to put out fires all the time. You have to,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know what your job is, but here in radio,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: we have to talk to the sales department a lot.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: And then we talk to the DJs. We have to
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: talk to the record labels, get the music. There's so
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: much going on.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: There's got to be something rewarding in there that people
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: want to do it though.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Right. And I feel like the people that are doing it. Yeah.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: They're cut out for it. That's why they're doing it.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Right. There's a certain personality type that's cut out for that.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I like talking to you every morning and leaving at 10. Yeah.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: And we're done.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Pretty much. Yeah.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: We're coming right back, though, with more music. Taylor Swift,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Light FM.
