  Speaker 1: you walked in with this. It's one more thing.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: One more thing. I can't do one theme song over another.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Before we get to that. Fade that prematurely for a second, Michael.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: That sounded like a clue on what was the one
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: with the guy with the skinny microphone? The game show.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Back in the day. Match game? Match game. Match game, yeah.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: You lost the job when you walked in with this.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: An erection?
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Right, exactly.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: One of the celebrities, of course, would... Is that match game?
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about the... I believe so, yeah. Gene Rayburn?
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Gene Rayburn, yeah. Match game. Match game, right. Oh, Family
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Feud's the one checking the board. Anyway, what were you saying?
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Before we get to anything, I just want to do
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: a tease for the radio show for Tuesday for Armstrong
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: and Getty. We're going to talk a little bit about
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Howard Buffett. Warren Buffett's middle son, who's 71 years old.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: That happens when you're 100.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Your kids are very, very old also.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Yes, I can attest. Yes, that's true.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: He has been the biggest supporter of Ukraine. He's been
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: a bigger supporter than 185 countries combined just monetarily. Let
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: me give you one tidbit. And one of the reasons
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: this is in the news is UN week is this week.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Trump just put out a post today that I'm not
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: going to read now that was way too pro-Russian, anti-Ukraine
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: for my taste. Anyway, Warren Buffett's son, Howard Buffett, For instance,
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: in April 2022, he saw burned out agricultural machinery in
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Ukraine and he called the president of John Deere and
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: he said, how many combines are available in Europe for sale? 15,
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: but they're all supposed to go to Russia. I'll take
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: them all, he said. And he bought them all and
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: shipped them to Ukraine.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, it'd be fun to be able to do stuff
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: like that.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Lots of stuff like that. That's really pretty amazing.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: And, you know. Flying below the radar, not getting any attention.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Or if you're a billionaire, you can get the world's
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: biggest yacht and lay on it shirtless with your weird-looking wife.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: If you decide to do it that way as a billionaire.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's the way for me. That's the choice I'd make.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: And have a two-day wedding in which you invite all
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: the media and it's all public so that they can
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: film you the entire time to make a documentary. You
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: can do that if you want. Or you can work
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: behind the scenes to help the downtrodden like, you know,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: like lots of people do, actually.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Now, in that one scenario, does my... Weird-looking wife had
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: giant lips and giant hooters.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Anyway, we'll talk more about that particular billionaire on the
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: next Armstrong and Getty radio show.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Just the giant lips is a maybe. Gotta have both. Anyway,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: so in today's brutal job market, Gen Z is bringing
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: their absolute A-games to interviews. But they're also bringing an item, commonly,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: which has caused an online clash.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: I have a guess.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Do you have a guess?
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Their mom?
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: No. No, an object.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Is your mom an object?
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, jeez. What the hell?
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Bad answer.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Technically, yes. An object. A noun, yeah. They're bringing something.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: A parrot.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: No, probably not a parrot.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Their smartphone?
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Is that bad? Katie Green, your answer. A sandwich.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Boom.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: They're giant Stanley water bottles.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: That is not a bad guess.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a pretty good one.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Michael, do you have a guess, or are you frantically
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: pushing buttons in there?
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Oh, no, I don't have a guess.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: The computers are hitting back. I suspect AI.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: I like when Michael's busy and hasn't been paying attention
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: to the show, and then we ask him a question.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so Michael, what do you think about that? I'll
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: say car.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: I'm against it.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: So.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: This clash kicked off when some freaking TikTok person, but
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: she's a corporate recruiter. And she's got a TikTok feed
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: that's all about job interviews and recruiting and that sort
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: of thing. And she called out Gen Z for arriving
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: to interviews with iced lattes in hand.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Oh, they're showing up with their fancy coffee drink.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: And she's drawing on all her experience working for Fortune 500.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: She warned job seekers against the casual habit. I can't
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: imagine walking into an interview.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: I can't imagine walking into practically anything with a drink.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: No. No.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of like.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: But an interview.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: What if you're going to. Well, I guess people do.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Women do. Women definitely do.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: I was just thinking like, say you're going to meet
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: at the bank to do all the mortgage paperwork. Would
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: I show up with a big drink?
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: No, probably not.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: No, because I know they're going to have water. But
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: if it's a situation where they won't, I'm a water
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: jug guy because I don't use plastic bottles because I'm
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: better than you. That's part of it. So I bring
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: it like in my car with me, but I mean,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: to a job interview, bringing along refreshments.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: No, I wouldn't bring anything to a job interview except
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: a quick smile and a quick wit. Sure.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: So anyway, so here's what this gal says. When you
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: show up with an iced coffee or an iced latte,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: it is perceived, from my opinion and a hiring standpoint,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: that this interview is just a stop on your list
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: of errands for the day.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Yes, that is exactly what it looks like.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: It looks like you went to Target, went to Starbucks,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: now you're stopping by your interview before moving on to
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the next thing.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: On the way to the gym, yes.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Naturally, the internet picked sides. Videos, posts, and comments
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: flooded in as hiring managers and job seekers debated the
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: iced coffee conundrum. Another creator chimed in, creators, influencers, jail
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: them all. Jail them all. Jail them all. What's the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: argument for it? I'll get to that in a second. First,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: a little more against. creator chimed in calling it diabolical
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: to bring a wet plastic condensation soaked cup into the
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: interview room.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Even without that, it's just, it just reeks of, well,
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: what that other person said. This is just, you know,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: one of my many things that I'm walking around with
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: my coffee bottle to. I got to stop by the
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: post office and I got to stop by and apply
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: for this job.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: And then I got to. All right. So you've, you've,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: You've dismissed the messy water ring, but that is a thing.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: And they noted and called out the bad look of
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: taking loud slurps while trying to make a good first
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: impression as you're getting toward the end.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: I would throw it at him at that point.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Well, I dismissed the wet ring only because I'd feel
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: the same way if it was a hot venti latte
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: you're walking in with.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: What are you doing?
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: Oh, and add mouth noises?
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: No, thanks.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Ugh.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Slurpy, sucky noises.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: But Gen Z job seekers and their supporters... Bowl of soup.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: That's what I walk in interviews with.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Piping hot.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: Me?
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Six-pack. Set it down on the table. Crack one. Let's
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: get started. You want one? They say no. I say, good.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: So my soup is so hot, I'm holding the bowl
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: up and I'm blowing across it to try to.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: Get the.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: So at my last job... I managed the transition from
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: our old sales system, including training.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Not good.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: I increased our quarterly sales. Let me see if this
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: is too odd. Oh, my God. That's odd.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: Do you happen to have a napkin?
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: It's like lava. Unbelievable. Anyway. All right. You interrupted my
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: clap back. Gen Z job seekers and their supporters are
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: defending their right to stay caffeinated and arguing they wouldn't
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: want to work anywhere where their choices are being judged.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I don't want to effing work for you if you
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: don't want to hire me because I bring an iced coffee.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Dismissing traditional etiquette is, quote, corporate brainwashing. I don't know.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Okay, here's who I don't want to hire. Anybody who
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: ever uses the term corporate brainwashing. So I don't want
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: you to work for me.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: That's for certain.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Is this a generational thing, asked a communications manager?
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: I'll bet it is. I'll bet it is.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I would never bring an iced coffee or a hot
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: coffee or tea, soda, juice, sangria. Sangria would be a
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: nice touch. You also wouldn't.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: Wear your pajamas to the grocery store.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: But lots and lots, millions and millions of people will.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Right. One TikToker. Gen Z TikToker explained that the fight
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: isn't about the lattes, but about rejecting arbitrary standards of professionalism. Again,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I don't want you working for me either. But have
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with whether someone could actually do the job.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Anybody who believes in the concept of arbitrary standards of professionalism.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: We have specific standards. I have them in my head.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: Some of them are in print. Some of them are
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: in my head.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: And I'm going to hold you to them.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: And we also have arbitrary standards for who we hire.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Would you like to guess where you fall on that dichotomy?
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, geez, that's really good.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: The ice lot. The entitlement.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: Yep, yep.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: That's what it is. That's a lot of it, yeah.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: Of course, I've had this conversation with myself before. Recently
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: and for a while, it's like, why do my kids
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: feel so entitled? Because I've given them so many things.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, boy, they don't raise themselves. You can't self-entitle. Somebody
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: had to entitle you first for you to get that way.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: They say you never learn as much as when you're teaching.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: And I remember as a coach thinking, you know, my
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: team looks terrible. I wish there was somebody I could blame.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: My team looks terrible.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's funny. Well, that's because you're trying to uphold
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: arbitrary standards of what I ought to do on the field.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: No, no.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: You want to play here? You got to do this.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: I was at a high school football game Friday night.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: And it was one of those lopsided, just like, it
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: was so rough. It was rough for everybody. I was
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: on the side where we were winning. But we were
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: all like, oh, groaning when we scored. Like, oh.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, cause they, they'd put it in the third
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: string really quick and there was even, it was 60
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: to six.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Or something like that.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Ouch. And, uh, so we, not like I'm playing, but, um,
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: we kicked off and the kicker, cause it's like the
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: third string guy or whatever, flubbed the kick. So it
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: ended up being a bounced onside kick and a guy
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: fell on it. So it looked like, Oh no. It
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: looked like with a 55 point lead, you kicked it
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: onside kick and recovered it.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Oh my God.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: So you didn't score again.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: Bad form.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Oh my God.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: That was like, Oh, everybody was groaning.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Oh man. That's so funny.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: Oh, those poor kids on the other team. And they
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: barely had enough for a team. They almost forfeited. They
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: barely had enough, so everybody had to play every down
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: offense and defense.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, no, no, no.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: And those kids were just getting drug up and down
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: the field.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: It was rough to watch.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: I'd have bought them a nice iced latte after the
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: game to make them feel better. Okay.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: All the soup.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: I got one more question I got to ask before
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: we go today because I got to make this decision today.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: I think I know the answer. One of my kids,
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: one of their teachers... Actually, many of their teachers, but
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: only one of their teachers specifically said that they were
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: a big fan of the radio show.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Okay. I have dealt with this very scenario multiple times.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: And so my son wanted to get him. He thought
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: it'd be really cool if I got him a signed picture.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: So I got this picture of us. that you signed
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: at some point. So maybe I signed your name. No,
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: that's your signature. Anyway, I've got a signed picture, but
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: then I thought I can't be letting my kid give
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: the teacher a signed photo of me as a minor celebrity.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Can I, doesn't that make you look at the end
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: of the year?
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Maybe.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Or something like that. But, like, in the middle of the...
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: What do you think, Katie? Doesn't that make you look
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: like a.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: The picture is a bit... What about, like, a signed shirt?
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: But still, it seems to me it's like a... And
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: I expect a little preferential.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Treatment for this.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: No.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: No?
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: I don't think so.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: I made that up?
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: No, because if he's asking for it.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: So it just seems... No, he didn't ask for it.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, see, that's the thing. It's an offering. Oh.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, asking for it would have been kind of weird.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You know, I think I would gently explain to
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: the lad that it seems like I'm a little pleased
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: with myself if I offer that and it hasn't been
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: asked for.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Or that you're trying to curry favor as the kid,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: Or I also think if other kids see it, you're
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: going to be mocked endlessly, possibly.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: All three good points. Yeah.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: So I think I'm going to leave it here. It
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: just seems like a bad... End of the year would
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: be fine.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: Nice guy.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: I heard you're a fan here.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Of course, if nobody... Blame me. Say, Joe said we
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: ought to do this, so... Blame me for anything you want.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: You know how Joe is.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: You can get him an A & G t-shirt, maybe.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I was thinking, because your face isn't
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: on there, you know?
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, if it's a beer better, sure. Bulldoze public schools.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: We've got to come up with a... Of course, it
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: may not be a public school teacher. We're not talking
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: about anything. Make no assumptions.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: How many public school teachers do you think listen to
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: our show?
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Where my kids went to school, a surprising number up
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: in Red, Red, Moore County.
