  SPEAKER_02: We're playing everybody's favorite game where they good employee.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_02: First and foremost, uh, I got a new chair.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_02: So that's why you might be hearing that uh hiss back, that hiss, that feedback noise.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_02: Because I got a new chair.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_02: My wife bought me a new chair for the studio, and uh it gets me higher, uh, close to the microphone, actually, like uh like headshot.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_02: Like normally I have the microphone down, you know, down so I, you know, talk to it and all that.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_02: But now this chair sets me up.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_02: I'm more ear-level to the microphone, so that's why you heard that.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_02: Anyway, uh, we're talking about a server who recently departed the culinary department at my location.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_02: Um, her name was Riley.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_02: Riley was brought in roughly over a year ago, and she was a server, and she's playing.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_02: Was she a good employee?
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_02: Simple as that, right?
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_02: We've had people play in the past.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, I don't think none of them are non-hirable, so we just asked four questions.
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_02: Four simple questions.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_02: Did they do their job?
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_02: Were they good at their job?
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_02: Some key moments, and are they rehirable?
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_02: So without further ado, let's get into it.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_02: Question one.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_02: Did they do their job?
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_02: You will figure this will be an easy question.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_02: You come to work, you clock in, you do your job.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_02: You'll be surprised when people clock in and don't do their job and disappear.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_02: This one is easy because I Riley was one that I could absolutely, and I mean that wholeheartedly, absolutely depend on.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_02: So, this one's this one's a no-brainer to me.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_02: Did they do their job?
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_02: Absolutely.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_02: She did such a great job.

  SPEAKER_02: Now, was this one's a good one?
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_02: Were they good at their job?
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_02: So, as a server, she did a good job.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_02: She did, she did actually do a good job.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, there was no question about the job that they did.

  SPEAKER_02: Never.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_02: It was always get the job done, get the job done, get the job done.

• 7:39
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_02: But they're young people, and that's what young people do.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_02: When they when they around their best friends and a co-workers that are best friends, they like to laugh and goof around and all that stuff.
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_02: That's that's that's a gimme, right?
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_02: But did she do a good job?
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, come on.
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, this is this is this is if I don't have to work hard, if I don't have to think about this, like it just naturally comes off the roll of the tongue.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_02: Were they good at their job?
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, it's a no-brainer.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_02: Right?
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_02: Right?
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, she did a good job.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_02: She did such a good job.

  SPEAKER_02: I mean, as expected.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_02: So the next question, the next question, or it's not a question, it's a comment, or whatever.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_02: It is, Michael, what were some of the key moments in Riley's career in the culinary department?
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_02: Well, one thing about Riley is that she likes to have debates all the time.
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_02: Debate, debate, debate, debate, debate.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_02: Everything.
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_02: Everything.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_02: It's like, well, the sky's blue.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_01: It's like, well, I think it's kind of a lemony green color.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_01: Like, what?
• 9:17
  unknown: What?
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_02: Like, always, always.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_02: It was always a debate about something.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_02: One of the one of the debates I do remember, she's like, uh, she said, Michael, do you like Chris Hemsworth?
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_02: So yeah, I like Thor.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_02: Well, then you're attracted to Thor.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_02: Like, wait a minute.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not attracted to Thor.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_02: I like him as Thor.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_02: Do I watch any of his other movies?
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_02: Absolutely not.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I didn't know he was in Man in Black till like I did some research.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, oh, he was in Man in Black.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_02: How good did that movie do?
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_02: It didn't do well.
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_02: There was one time where her and her best friend J were mad at me for something.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_02: Don't remember, and they were doing the whole high school giggles things.
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_02: That annoys them.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_02: Secret.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_02: Giggling, like just kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick.
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_02: That's type of this is annoying.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_02: They were mad at me about something with the schedule.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_02: And then they were like doing this whole little laugh thing.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_02: I just bleh.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_02: Bothers me.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_02: So they were doing it on purpose, in my opinion.
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_02: But either way.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_02: And another, here's another key moment that used to crack me up.
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_02: Well, in hindsight, it cracks me up.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_02: After work, we would sit there and we have these deep conversations for like 30 to 45 minutes after work.
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_02: Just sitting there talking, you know, like, this girl, you know, she's smart.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_02: She's like, you know, she's she's educated.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_01: She's smart.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_01: I come look at the clock.
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, uh, did you clock out?
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_01: She's like, no.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_01: I said, you've been milking me this whole time.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_01: You need to get your butt off this clock.
• 10:50
  SPEAKER_01: She's like, well, we were done rolling silverware and we just got in this conversation.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_01: I said, I know.
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_02: But you need to clock out.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_02: I can't believe you did this, you did this on purpose.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_02: She's like, no, I didn't.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_02: I was like, oh, okay, okay.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_02: Clock out, go home.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_02: So overall, key moments like that, yeah, funny at the time, funny in hindsight.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_02: Not the time.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_02: But overall, that though those that's not those are not bad key moments, right?
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_02: So again, was there key moments, good ones or bad ones?
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_02: You know, it's already good.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_02: Three for three.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_02: Why can't we keep employees like this?
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_02: I don't understand.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_02: Well, yeah, I do understand.
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, so three for three key moments, they're all good.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_02: So the last question that I ask are they rehirable, Michael?
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, you trying to ask a would I rehire her?
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_02: You already know.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_02: Why would I rehire somebody that comes to work, does her job, does it efficiently?
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_02: I don't gotta watch what they're doing.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_02: That's a that's a dumb question to ask, Michael.
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_02: I said, I agree, Michael.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_02: That is a dumb question.
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_02: I can't believe that.

  SPEAKER_02: Now, if you are 20, 19, or 18, you get relegated.
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_02: Relegation means you go to a lower division and your money's cut and your players will be like, well, I was getting this in the Premier League.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_02: Why would I stay?
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_02: They leave, depending on who they are, most, some, all.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_02: And then, you know, you're not on the Premier League making that Premier League money, making championship money.
• 14:50
  SPEAKER_02: And uh basically, your life stinks as that.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_02: Now, here in America, we don't have nothing like that.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_02: We don't have nothing like that at all.
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_02: There's no such thing as promotion, relegation in none of our sports.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_02: Football, baseball, basketball, hockey, badminton, if we play that, dodgeball, I wish we played that.
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_02: But uh, yeah, if your team wants to tank a whole year, there is no penalty to it.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_02: That's what drives me nuts about American sports.
• 15:20
  SPEAKER_02: If you, if well, your team's like, well, there's this good recruit coming out of college, or this good recruit coming out of high school, if you play basket, if you like basketball, and uh, we're gonna tank the whole year just to get this one player.
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_02: And you're not even guaranteed to get it.
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_02: Just one of the things that with English football, you can't do that.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_02: You can't even fake it.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_02: You can't even do that, or you get relegated.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_02: And when relegation happens, it destroys it tends to destroy your whole club.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_02: Now, Everton themselves have never, let me repeat, never been relegated before.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_02: And I jumped on the I've jumped on Everton around 2009-2010, uh, when I found out that Landon Donovan, one of the greatest uh American soccer slash football players, started to play for Everton.
• 16:12
  SPEAKER_02: So I started watching Everton play, and I noticed Tim Howard, one of the greatest American uh goalies to play the sport, was also on the team.
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm like, okay.
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_02: So two of the greatest Americans play on Everton, they wear blue jerseys.
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_02: I'm like, yo, it's my team.
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_02: This is the team I'm gonna support for the foreseeable future.
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_02: Now, when I first started, I was like, yeah, I like I like Everton, but I also like Arsenal too.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_02: I like the name, the Gunners.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_02: I was like, yeah, that's cool.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_02: And then another thing that I like, when they score, they have these big old flags, and the flag just come up because uh Arsenal was scoring all the time.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_02: Something we don't do at Everton, right?
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_02: As of right now.
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_02: But uh, so yeah, but that's faded away.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_02: I am 100% an Everton fan.
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_02: And uh last year, we were in a also in a relegation battle.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_02: Uh we had uh hired Frank Lampart, who is a Chelsea player from the past, and he was our coach, and he wasn't he just stinked.
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, um the thing with Everton that's bad for Everton we don't have consistency.
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_02: We've had so many coaches since I've been watching, or I'm sorry, managers, managers since I've been watching.
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_02: Um we've gone through so many Rafio Benitez, uh uh David Moyes, oh my gosh, so many uh Frank Lampert.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_02: I can't think of uh uh the the actual um shoot.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_02: There's so many managers we've gone through that is it's just it's painful, and we've spent so much money and just none of them is none of them nothing has panned out.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_02: And that's why we're in a relegation battle again.
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_02: Now, last year, again, we're in a relegation battle.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_02: We played a game against Crystal Palace at Goodison Park, the home stadium of Everton.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_02: And we won.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_02: And that was made kept us safe last year, and we finished 16th last year.
• 18:12
  SPEAKER_02: Not respectable.
• 18:14
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, as long as we're safe.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_02: Again, Everton has never been relegated ever.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_02: We are synonymous with premier soccer, with top-tier soccer.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_02: And as of as of this recording, we're 19th with six wins, 11 ties, and 17 losses.
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_02: And as that sounds terrible.
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_02: That gives us uh 29 points.
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_02: Now you get three points for winning and one point for a tie.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_02: And the last five games has been tie, lose, tie, lose, lose.
• 18:47
  SPEAKER_02: That sounds terrible, but there's worse.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_02: So right now we're standing 19th.
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_02: We played tomorrow against uh Brighton and Albion at wherever the heck they are at at their home stadium.
• 19:00

  SPEAKER_02: We're gonna tie Brighton Albion, and we're gonna beat Man City when they come to Goodison Park next week, right?
• 19:20

• 19:43
  SPEAKER_02: I know what you're thinking.
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_02: Mike, you're just trying to will it.
• 19:47
  SPEAKER_02: You darn right I am.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, listen.

  SPEAKER_02: That should make us safe, right?
• 20:05
  SPEAKER_02: That's four points right there.
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_02: Okay?
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_02: You might be like, well, what about the other teams?

  SPEAKER_02: All those games are hard games to win.
• 20:31
  SPEAKER_02: Again, I'm willing it in there.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not given any chance for these teams to win.
• 20:36
