  Speaker 1: for Scott. Oh. Hi, I'm Scott. Hey Scott, how are you.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: I'm doing well? How are you, Alfonso? You said her name? Yes, yes,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and I've see here on my notes that your schedule
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: to start working with us next week. Yes, I am.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I'm really excited to work for It's actually been a
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: dream of mine for a long time. Well, you know,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I'm calling you today because we were also excited to
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: have you joined the team, but unfortunately, some new troubling
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: information has come to our attention. Troubling What does that
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: even mean? I don't understand. Well, I'm sure you know
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: we always do some research on all of our hires. Yeah,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know what you would find. Well, some things
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: have surfaced from your past, and I'm sure if you
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: think about it, you know what I'm talking about. I
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: really have no idea, no idea at all. Huh No,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I don't know what. I suppose that makes sense,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: because if you're willing to be so insensitive online, you'd
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: probably deny it anyway. So what did I say online
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: that offended and everybody. You know, I'm just gonna cut
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: to the chase. We've seen your tweets. Are you talking
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: about Twitter? Yes, we've seen your tweets. In today's culture,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: we have to be very careful not to hire rabble
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: rousers and bigots, and that's why we cant. I am
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: not a bigot. What are you kidding me? What did
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I say that that bigot? Understand? Okay, well, let me
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: jog your memory. Then. Do you remember back in March
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: of two thousand and twelve when you tweeted I love
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: steak so glad I'm not vegan? Do you remember that?
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I don't remember tweeting them. But even if I did,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: how does that make me a bigot? How do you
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: think our vegan employees would feel coming into the office
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: every day knowing that there's somebody in the building that
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: harbors such a strong hatred for them. How do you
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: think they feel? I don't understand what just because I
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: say I vegan? Where did I say that? Wow? No apology,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: just doubling down on the anti vegan hate speech. Look,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: it's not offensive just because meat is good. Most of
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the world likes meat. It doesn't make them big it. Wow, Well,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I guess I can give you another example. If that
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: doesn't prove anything to you, fine fire away. I have
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: nothing to hide here. Well what about November of twenty sixteen?
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Does that jog your memory at all? No? It doesn't.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: What could I possibly have tweeted that could respond my
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: offer of a job like that? Well, in looking through
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: your Twitter account, I found a tweet from November twenty
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: sixteen that says, remember everybody make sure to get out
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: and vote today. What is wrong with that? I'm trying
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: to help people vote, I mean helpful. Why is that wrong? Yeah? Well,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: we can't have our employees taking political sides in such
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: a public forum, now can we. That could cause division.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: I'm not taking side. They just pull people to vote.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: My god. Well, it was implied who you were saying
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: to vote for, and with your previous comments, I think
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: we all know who you were encouraging people to vote for.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: What what about encouraging people to vote for? Stake? Can
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I please talk your manager? This is asinine? This is
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: completely absurd. Okay, Well, I see you don't want to
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: talk to me because I'm a male? Is that why
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I can't even see you? Why? What is it? Or?
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Am I in the twilight zone here. And also, I'm
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: a white male. Why would I be prejudiced? Again, that's
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the problem, And that's the problem, isn't it. Why because
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I'm a white male? Is that the problem? Though? Your
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: guys had and you're begging it, that's obvious. You just
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: think your words don't matter and you can just hide
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: behind your computer and spew hatred towards vegans and white
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: males and anybody else you despise and nothing will happen. Right,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I'm not hiding behind anything. You guys are the ones
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: that are being shady, going all the way back years
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: and tweets. Who the fuck do you think you are? Wow?
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I didn't even find one swear word on your Twitter account,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: but you sure have no problem firing them away in person,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: do you? I just don't even understand what's going on
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: right now. These are completely normal, benign tweets. All I
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: said was I like stakes and I encourage people to vote.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Aren't those good things in a normal society? That's not
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: all you said. You also tweeted, I believe I can fly.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Do you remember that? No? But who cares if I did? Right?
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: And I'm sure you don't see anything wrong with a
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: little bumping grind in the office either, do you what
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: does that have to do with anything? I don't bump
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: or grind in any office or in any capacity for
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: that matter. You know, I don't even want to work
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: for this company. If you're gonna do it, well, I
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: might have given it a second thought, But you didn't
• 4:09

• 4:11
  Speaker 1: just shocked me. Yeah, so I liked steak? What of it?
