Group A Best Goon

[00:00:18] Speaker A: Welcome to Friendly Competition, a podcast to discover the best of all time. I'm Nick Carey alongside my co host and best friend, Cody Lena. We discuss various pop culture topics and narrow it down to truly the best of all time. [00:00:30] Speaker B: Or as we like to call it, the boat. Before anyone can step foot on the boat, we put them into a sweet 16 style tournament. We argue each round, and we decide a winner. Nick, what criteria do we use? We decide who steps foot on the boat. [00:00:40] Speaker A: Whatever the hell we want. Cody, you want somewhat. We're talking about this season. [00:00:44] Speaker B: Absolutely. We're doing it. Me and Nick have finally opened an LLC. We're starting our own business from the ground up, and we need you to apply. We got 16 positions in this big, big enterprise that we need to fill, and we're going to find them, and we're going to give you the job openings and what that entails, and that's what we're going to do. We're here to help you find the next step in your career. [00:01:04] Speaker A: Exactly. And I just. I do want to warn you, don't either. Just sign the contract. [00:01:09] Speaker B: It's good. Benefits are great. Benefits are great. [00:01:12] Speaker A: Pay is our parental leave for male and female. Parental leave. Is. Is it. It's the same as Sweden's. Like, we did that. We're going to do that. Like that. [00:01:21] Speaker B: Do that. Yep. Full dental, full eyes. [00:01:24] Speaker A: Oh, easily, easily. You can get a whole new mouth. [00:01:27] Speaker B: You. [00:01:27] Speaker A: Well, because the thing you. We do need, it's important that you. [00:01:32] Speaker B: It's important. Hey, it's important that you're gonna have medical coverage for what we're about. [00:01:36] Speaker A: Yeah. Because hands. Hands on the table or hands on our hearts, wherever your hands go. [00:01:43] Speaker B: Hands on my gun. [00:01:44] Speaker A: Yeah, mostly the gun part, because this is. This is a criminal enterprise, and we are hiring for goons. [00:01:50] Speaker B: We are gonna need you to step up your game, get your gun out of the closet, and come join us. Cause we're doing some. We're doing crimes. [00:01:57] Speaker A: We took 16 of the best jobs that you could have in a criminal organization. We sent that off to our bracketologist. They randomized it, gave it back to us. So we have our group a that we'll go through, and then Group B, C, and D will happen throughout the rest of the two weeks here in Group A, we have the number one seed, the hot head, going up against the 16 seed final boss. And then we have the eight seed, the cleaner, going up against the nine seed, the cowardly cody, where do you want to start? [00:02:24] Speaker B: I think we got to start at the top. We got to start. The one seed hot head versus 16 seed final boss. These are both desirable positions. [00:02:31] Speaker A: Great. Obviously, these are. [00:02:33] Speaker B: These are obviously. For example, the final boss is like, go, go from kill Bill, which he's at the end. You got to fight her before you get to the boss, boss. [00:02:41] Speaker A: You've already, you've just beaten. You've beaten 88, you've beaten the crazy. Eighty eight s. And you're like, you think you're done? You're like, oh, no, no, no. Before you get to me, you gotta. [00:02:51] Speaker B: Fight a high school girl, bruh. Yeah. [00:02:54] Speaker A: One of. [00:02:55] Speaker B: Probably one of the best. That being said, you will get bonus points if you are a high school age person. But you gotta be able to. Gotta be able to handle a weapon, preferably not a gun. I want something good. [00:03:07] Speaker A: I want. I don't know what that weapon was called, but I do like the, the kind of throw around mace thing that she. If you. I'll give you extra money if you. If that. Is that a real weapon or did Quentin just like, yeah, I'm gonna draw this up like I'm thinking in a real combat situation. This is not your best go to. You need a lot of space to make that thing work, you know? [00:03:28] Speaker B: Agreed. But here's the thing. When, with our gang, with our. The motorboaters, right, when the motorbike roll into town on our motorcycles that are actually pulling us. So the motorcycles are kind of like a chariot esque, where we have a bunch of motorcycles pulling a flatbed. And me and Nick are sitting on thrones in the flatbed. So when we come rolling in, we can't just have normal weapons. Of course, a few of our guys got guns, but we don't use the guns. Everyone has a sword. They do use the swords, for sure. [00:03:53] Speaker A: Swords, but the specialty people have to special weapons. [00:03:56] Speaker B: I'm talking spears, I'm talking crossbows. One guy just has a bag of fruit. Dude. If a final boss shows up with. [00:04:03] Speaker A: A bag of dangerous with it. [00:04:04] Speaker B: Yes. [00:04:05] Speaker A: Nice with it, though. You know? [00:04:07] Speaker B: Nice with it. [00:04:08] Speaker A: That would have wild if. Yeah, you, you're. You're all defeated, right? You, you've just, you're. You've climbed. You've gotten to the top of the skyscraper, right? You're about, you're, you enter the penthouse. You see, you see us sitting behind the desk and you're like, chillin fuck, I'm gonna get you guys. You took everything from me. And we're like, yeah, could you bring in Larry real quick? And homeboy just shows up with a basket of fruit. [00:04:33] Speaker B: And you're thinking like. I'm thinking like a baby beorn in front of it. It's just a bunch of mixed fruit. Apples, pears, coconuts. You're like, what is this, man? [00:04:43] Speaker A: You'd be like, I wonder, do you feel like if you were the hero, you'd be like, I. I'm gonna turn around. You know what? This has been great, guys. [00:04:51] Speaker B: I know. [00:04:52] Speaker A: I think I. I think we're. I think we're probably even now, now that I think about it. [00:04:56] Speaker B: It. [00:04:57] Speaker A: Wow. It was one dog. And I did take out most of your organization. So why don't we call this square? Cause I don't know what fruit guy's gonna do, but I don't want to know. I can't imagine it's comfortable for me or quickly. I don't think this one ends quickly. [00:05:13] Speaker B: Part of me is, like, if a guy shows up to me, I break in, and I'm about to fight the final boss, and he's fruit guy. I mean, yes, I'm instantly gonna surrender because I don't know what he's gonna do, but I really, really wanna know. [00:05:24] Speaker A: I know that's a problem, though. [00:05:26] Speaker B: So bad, my dude. [00:05:28] Speaker A: But I. I know that if the SEC. If the first. I feel like the first thing he's gonna do is he's gonna grab my throat or grab my jaw, dislocate it, and shove an apple in there and then continue to beat my ass. [00:05:38] Speaker B: Oh, no. I feel like it was gonna be something wild where he, like, takes a strawberry and he looks like he's gonna bite it, and he, like, smells it, and he's, like, very, like, sensual with it. I'm like, what is he doing? And then he blows on it a little bit and takes a bite and spits one seed right in my eye, and I'm like, and then it's on from there. [00:05:53] Speaker A: What's going on? [00:05:54] Speaker B: It was so good. So fast. He's so fast. The hothead's important, too. [00:05:59] Speaker A: The hothead important. [00:06:01] Speaker B: We don't have. We don't have a villain. We don't. Well, we're the villain. We don't have a hero to come fight us. Right. [00:06:06] Speaker A: Your hothead is gonna be the person who, you know, let's say you and the crew. Cause we are a family here at the end of the day, too. [00:06:12] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:06:12] Speaker A: Like, we are a family here at FCP Incorporated and great medical benefits. [00:06:17] Speaker B: But also, you get a family. [00:06:19] Speaker A: You get, you know, you're going to have people. Like, if work culture is important to you, then this is. This is going to be a group that goes out to happy hours, hangs out on the weekends. Right. The problem is, though, is that there is. There is that hothead in the group, though, that you thought you're like, this is just a great night, man. [00:06:34] Speaker B: Look at us. [00:06:35] Speaker A: We're just out at the bar having fun. All of a sudden, the hotheads drink gets knocked down, and then he kills a guy right then and there. [00:06:43] Speaker B: Yeah. Because he's a little bit of a. [00:06:45] Speaker A: Hothead, a little bit of a loose cannon. [00:06:47] Speaker B: That's. That's Terry. He's crazy. Like, he's fun. You. [00:06:52] Speaker A: He's the dude who will have your back in a fight, but he's mostly because he starts all of them. [00:06:58] Speaker B: So you were. He did kill John Wick's friend. Yeah. [00:07:03] Speaker A: Yeah. Paul Wick. [00:07:05] Speaker B: Paul Wick. John Wick's brother. Paul Wick. Not impressive. Paul Wick's just a banker. He's a normal dude. [00:07:09] Speaker A: Just was a super normal dude. Just bumped into the wrong guy. Like, ok, ok, let's talk. [00:07:13] Speaker B: All right. You're John Wick's brother. Yeah. How do you feel about just existing? What? What are you. Hi, Paul. Yeah. No, no, yeah, great. Yeah, no, I was. Yeah, I was. No, I was. Stupid body president was pretty cool. Yeah. Oh, yeah, no, my brother. Yeah. They call him the silent death, the Grim Reaper. [00:07:36] Speaker A: Death on the yaga baba or whatever it is. [00:07:39] Speaker B: Bubble of saga. [00:07:40] Speaker A: Yeah. Which in Russian means the end solution. [00:07:45] Speaker B: Yeah, basically. [00:07:46] Speaker A: But I'm actually pretty good at Excel, though. I think I kind of show I'm kind of the final solution of Excel, if you catch my drift. I think obviously, here's the problem with the final bosses. I feel like that's harder to hire for hotheads is just kind of a dick coworker. But some, like, I think this is, like, my sales guy. [00:08:07] Speaker B: Right? [00:08:07] Speaker A: Like, he's also the one, though. Like, I think I'm trust. This dude is pitching and getting us a lot of our recruits. [00:08:12] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. He's got a lot of bad ideas, but he's got a few really good ones, too. He's out there doing the work. The problem with the hothead, the good thing about the hothead is you probably get to live. You know? He's gonna. You're gonna get your ass kicked, and then they're gonna be like, go tell your bosses that I'm coming for that ass. And, like, then you'll come to us, but the final boss, you will die for us. Yeah. Yeah. [00:08:31] Speaker A: That is so critical in this is like, you are the last. You are the last person between us and them. Right. You're so from a pay scale standpoint, easily probably one of our top paid people. [00:08:43] Speaker B: Right. [00:08:43] Speaker A: In the. [00:08:43] Speaker B: Absolutely great position. Yeah. [00:08:45] Speaker A: Great position. [00:08:46] Speaker B: This season incentive package is crazy. Yep. [00:08:49] Speaker A: But there is that whole, like, you. You are the last thing standing between us and them because we can't die. [00:08:55] Speaker B: No. [00:08:55] Speaker A: Yeah. Happen to the company. [00:08:57] Speaker B: We have plot armor, so we can't die. Right. Yeah. We need to be there for the sequel. [00:09:01] Speaker A: Well, and what, Amazon would collapse if Jeff Bezos went away? You know what I'm saying? Like, it would just fall completely on itself. That's how all organizations work. There's no. We have not created a good lineage of who's the next in line because we're never going to die. [00:09:16] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:09:16] Speaker A: So why would I even think about that? I don't need a second in command. [00:09:20] Speaker B: That's why I think I want to lock in the final boss, though, because I. Here's the thing we got to think about, Nick. We're high up on this executive scale. Yeah. We're not going to hang out with the hothead. That's me. We're never going to see the hottest of the final boss. We're going to be hanging out with them all the time. They got to be cool. [00:09:34] Speaker A: And to be fair, too, I feel like a lot of times the hothead is loosely related to us, though, you know? Like. [00:09:39] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:09:40] Speaker A: Like, low key. [00:09:41] Speaker B: Like, my. It'd be my brother. For sure. [00:09:43] Speaker A: It would be your brother if we were to do this 100%. Your. It's like. Like, of course we hired him. Like, he's your brother. Like, we got. Like, we. Of course we're going to put him on the. We're going to put him on the company dime. [00:09:53] Speaker B: Yeah. Got to get him in. But. [00:09:55] Speaker A: But he does flaunt that way too much. Like, once again, kick anybody's ass. But that's also kind of the problem. Anybody's. It's anybody's ass gets you. [00:10:04] Speaker B: I'm locking in the final boss because I just keep thinking we're hanging out with them, right? Yeah. And we're like, so what do you do with the fruit? He's like, he's. He's like, I. If. If I turn on the fruit, it cannot be turned off until it's drawn blood. Yeah. So, like, so we'll never get to see it. I know. [00:10:23] Speaker A: Is that. Do you think at what point I'm gonna. Well, I'll move the final boss on. [00:10:26] Speaker B: We'll talk about it. I'm with you. I'm with you. [00:10:28] Speaker A: Let's move the final boss on. Okay, next up, you have your eight seed, the cleaner, going up against the nine seed, the coward. So when I'm thinking of the cleaner, this is the person who is like, I'm not going to say fight. He's not final boss level, but he is the person that, it's like he's the one who goes out instead of, he's our, he's kind of the guy who's going to go out and take care of it and I can pretty much trust its handle. [00:10:49] Speaker B: Right. [00:10:49] Speaker A: This is a dude who is. If I find out that China's trying to take over one of our factories, I send in the cleaner. [00:10:57] Speaker B: Yes. [00:10:58] Speaker A: And he. That's where he's going to go. Final boss stays in the office. Cleaners who you send out to cover other, your other business internationally. [00:11:05] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. It's like your final boss that travels. I totally understand the cleaner, though. The problem with the cleaner, that it's 100% on call. You are always on call. If that phone rings, you do need to answer it. That's a tough position because you can't drink, you can't be partying. No, can't be. You gotta always be ready on a. [00:11:23] Speaker A: Moment'S notice because we are, I mean, we are doing deals all across the world, handling our business, and you got to handle it for us, you know? But I imagine that's kind of the, it is work from home a lot of the time. And that's a big, and that's a big important thing. Or it's at least remote work. [00:11:38] Speaker B: Right? [00:11:38] Speaker A: Like, you're going to be able to, you're going to be able to work remote most of the time. You're not having to come into the office that much. I don't think corp, I mean, corporate retreats and stuff, but you get to. [00:11:47] Speaker B: Set your own schedule, too. When I call you and say, hey, I need this done. Yeah, I'll give you a deadline, but, like, the way you do, it's up to you. That's. And that's what I'm. Hi. [00:11:56] Speaker A: This is kind of the artist I feel like, of the group. Like, I. I'm sending you out and I can't wait to hear about what you did across the, across the pond. [00:12:05] Speaker B: Right. [00:12:06] Speaker A: Like, I'm very excited to find out how you handled it. And I'm just like, piano wire. God, I love that. I love, love that. [00:12:14] Speaker B: The coward is our entry level position. So you step into the. The coward's great. [00:12:19] Speaker A: It's not. [00:12:20] Speaker B: It's basically an intern. You don't get paid a lot, but you get our medical benefits. And as soon as someone puts a gun in your face, you're allowed to piss your pants and not do anything. [00:12:28] Speaker A: Yeah, you just gotta call it. [00:12:30] Speaker B: Here's. You gotta call it right away. You get to tell them where we are. So here's. [00:12:34] Speaker A: Here's the fun part about being the coward is a. You're not gonna die from the hero. The hero will take pity on you. Cause you're a coward and you look like you're crying, you're sniveling. So now it's a fitness pants. [00:12:46] Speaker B: Piss pants. Piss pants. You pissed your pants. Look at this little piss aunt bitch. [00:12:51] Speaker A: I really wish they would stop in more action movies and just call out and be like, are you. You pissed your pants, didn't you? Look at his piss pants. Look at this guy's business pants. [00:12:59] Speaker B: Look at him. [00:13:00] Speaker A: I feel like John McClain would have. That feels like a John McClain situation. So the old. So here's the thing, though. The hero is not going to kill you, but we will if we catch you. So you better. I would get on that witness protection real quick. [00:13:15] Speaker B: Okay. Okay. Yeah. Especially because the cleaner comment. Yeah, that's. That is. [00:13:19] Speaker A: These two things actually go well together because that is who we are sending after. [00:13:23] Speaker B: Once they realize that we're incompetent and can't fight for ourselves, they are going to turn on us. But we're going to have a good run. [00:13:30] Speaker A: No, I think the cleaner. I don't think the cleaner has any ambition for upper management. [00:13:34] Speaker B: No, they like freedom. [00:13:37] Speaker A: This is, like, one of the best. This is that. [00:13:38] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:13:38] Speaker A: This is that, like, person in an organization who's just like. Is maybe like, just a top, like, account manager and just loves what they do. They know they hit their bonus every. Every quarter. [00:13:48] Speaker B: They. [00:13:48] Speaker A: And they're like this. I got exactly what I want. I have the freedom I need. If I. If I get promoted, I have to wear a suit and go into the office, and I'm just trying to wear this dope leather jacket and ride around on my motorcycle and just be in the Riviera, you know, until I got to get called out. [00:14:04] Speaker B: Totally. And I respect. I mean, I'm leading cleaner. The coward is a great entry level position if you can get that. But you don't even need school for that. Yeah. No, no, no. Yeah, yeah. [00:14:12] Speaker A: Like you said, it's a great interim position. The biggest downside is we will kill you. [00:14:16] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:14:17] Speaker A: And there's also the chance that the hero might, depending on how. [00:14:20] Speaker B: How badass that hero. If it's a John Wick scenario, I can't promise you anything. [00:14:24] Speaker A: Yeah, I feel like maybe, like your eighties heroes were a little more, like, forgiving. But now we're in that age of the antihero where, like, they're also upset with you for being a coward. [00:14:36] Speaker B: Like, they think you're just going to rat on your bosses like that after they paid for your medical insurance. [00:14:43] Speaker A: I know what benefits you got. This is wild how quick you flipped. You suck. [00:14:48] Speaker B: You suck, bro. I met Cody and Nick, and they pay very well. [00:14:51] Speaker A: Yeah, at least they're honorable, at least. Disgusting. [00:14:54] Speaker B: Yeah, dude, at least let me break a couple of your fingers or something. Make me work for it. [00:14:58] Speaker A: Yeah, you. I walked into the room and you're like, hey, they're on the third floor of the Sears tower. And you're like, really, dude? Really, jerk? [00:15:06] Speaker B: I got, like, a cleaner dude. I want cleaner versus final boss, too. [00:15:09] Speaker A: This is two guys. These two do not like each other in the office, though. Like, this is one of those. You have to keep them separated. Cause there is egos here. Like, these are egos at play. [00:15:20] Speaker B: Well, and that's. [00:15:21] Speaker A: And that's what we hired them for, right? You want someone who's cocky enough that they can go take on the world, but at the same time, you're also like, yeah, you probably. [00:15:31] Speaker B: Yes. Who do you. Okay, we got our fruit guy, the final boss, right? And we got our traditional style cleaner that just takes care of the mess anyway. Leather jacket, motorcycle gun, whatever. Which one of those would we. Who do you want protecting you? The stronger one or the. Do you want the cleaner to be stronger or the vinyl boss? Like, which one do you. Where do you put your resources, right? [00:15:51] Speaker A: I I mean, I think. I think the. The problem is you should just have a good cleaner, right? I think because that allows you anything that you. The second you hear of something going down, I send out the. We send out the cleaner, right? Every time. So that way it doesn't have to come to us. Cause the thing is, I'm gonna be honest, Cody. If we are. If we're up in our. In our penthouse, right, and they've end. The doors swing open, it's the hero. And she's ready. And she's like, I'm sick of this. I'm ready to kick your ass. [00:16:19] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:16:20] Speaker A: There is a part of me who's, like, they've got momentum on their side. Like, if you've ever watched a, you know, a seat like a, you know, like an NBA final series, right? Where just all of a sudden you can just tell, man, this team has got their number. Look at them. And I'm like, it's just one of those things where I'm like, I trust the final boss to handle it, but I am like, ooh, you got way closer to us than you should have. [00:16:44] Speaker B: Yeah, for sure. [00:16:45] Speaker A: So I'm like, I would rather have had the cleaner maybe take care of this early on. You know, you got to stamp it out at the root. You got to cut it at the. At the tip. [00:16:54] Speaker B: I think we got to have the final boss be stronger. And this is why. Because as soon as we have an adequate cleaner, mean you are going to abuse it. Okay. It's going to start with the cleaner. Gonna start with the cleaner. Hunting down rivals. Hunting down defect, like, player. People that have defected ran off. Yeah, it's going to start with that, but eventually, like, I. Hey, the mega millions is over. Is in a billion dollars. So I am going to need you pick up some tickets. Yeah. Like, it's a. Billy, you know, I usually don't buy lottery tickets, but it's over a billion. [00:17:21] Speaker A: It's him. [00:17:24] Speaker B: What? [00:17:24] Speaker A: There is a really great ramen spot right next to the. Right next to that gas station. Do you mind just grabbing me some of that, too? [00:17:31] Speaker B: Also, you know, great with ramen. I really does this show you that you can get. It's a japanese. Like, oh, you knew that. Okay, cool. But, yeah, no, yeah, I would like a bottle that. Yeah, I know. Yeah, I know. You can only get it in Madison, Wisconsin. Yeah, I know that. [00:17:44] Speaker A: I am going to need you, though, to, like, I'm paying for your travel. Like, just go get it. [00:17:49] Speaker B: Yeah. What is it? I thought so anyway, but when they finally break and show up to WHOOP our ass, I am going to need the final boss to take care of. Yeah. [00:17:57] Speaker A: I'm going to need to have invested heavily. All right, here's my question for you about the final boss, Cody. [00:18:00] Speaker B: Yes. [00:18:01] Speaker A: Because this is the person, arguably, outside of, like, manage outside of, like, our, like, consigliere and things like that, that we're going to be spending time with. Right. So how important is it that this is a personality hire? Let me give you an example. Let's say we have someone who is like a ten fighting. [00:18:19] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:18:19] Speaker A: But like a two personality dude, I sacrifice it. If I could give you eight fighting, but maybe a solid seven personality. [00:18:29] Speaker B: Absolutely not, dude. I want my final boss to be a ten. And at the end of the day, I want to be like, have I ever heard fruit man talk? Like, have I ever heard, I don't know. [00:18:40] Speaker A: You just keep him. [00:18:41] Speaker B: You. [00:18:41] Speaker A: He just has his own room right off to the penthouse. Yeah, it's just like, hey, man, you live your life in that room, I don't care. But the second I press this button and that door drops, I do need you to get ready. Yeah, you are, once again. [00:18:53] Speaker B: Exactly. He just stands around looking badass with a basket full of fruit. That's all I'm paying him to do. WHOOP that ass. [00:19:00] Speaker A: So, so from a, from a standpoint, though, of like, you're the one who, like, let's say you have all the talent to be hired for either one of these positions. [00:19:07] Speaker B: Yes. [00:19:08] Speaker A: I'm kind of thinking, though, if that's the case. [00:19:10] Speaker B: Right. [00:19:10] Speaker A: Because final boss literally doesn't. You should only be working three days a year, max. [00:19:16] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, like, it involves a lot of gym work. [00:19:20] Speaker A: Yeah, you've got the maintenance, but that's the thing is, it's like, do you ever feel like you're just not getting the juice? Like I would, I don't. I feel like I'd have to set. I feel like I'd have to be running a lot of drills. If I'm the, if I'm the, if I'm owning, if we, you know, we're running FCP. I am running like monthly drills. I'm sending in people to be like, oh, look, he's going to attack me. You better do something. And he's like, is this a drill or is this a real threat? Better figure it out. [00:19:44] Speaker B: Better figure it out. [00:19:46] Speaker A: I need you sharp. I can't have you getting soft on me because it's been a. Because business has been good and the cleaners been handling their job. [00:19:54] Speaker B: Yeah, exactly. That's why some, well, I mean, if it get, if they get start getting sleepy, you know, we just send the cleaner to take care of the final boss. [00:20:01] Speaker A: I guess that's true, too. [00:20:02] Speaker B: Everyone, I think I need to lock in the final boss. I need someone who's standing there by my side, basket full of fruit ready to go at a moment's notice. I like having a cleaner. I like someone that can solve those problems. But if I, if someone can get to me and take me down at the top, then I don't even need a cleaner. I'm already dead. That's fair. [00:20:19] Speaker A: I think I gotta go cleaner because a, I'm like, if I, if there's of the jobs that are available, that's the one I think I want the most if I was trusted with that type of talent. [00:20:27] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I. [00:20:29] Speaker A: To your point about abusing it, I agree. But I do think I'm going to still keep him in his lane of what he is trained to do because I got a lot of exes that I'm like, I don't like that they're out there. She did. She was real mean to me in that breakup. I am going to need you. He's like, I don't really think I need to. They have a family now, man. Like, it. You're still. You're still bothered by what she told you in middle school? Yeah. Yeah, I am okay. [00:20:52] Speaker B: Yeah, I am okay. It hurts. Do I look like a mature adult to you? [00:20:59] Speaker A: So I guess I'll have to settle this the only way we know how with the american voting coin of 2004 is brought to you by random.org. We got George Bush facing up, which means John Kerry is on the other side. Low seed gets to pick. And that's going to be you, Cody, with the 16 seed. Where you going? [00:21:15] Speaker B: Some pauling of the final bosses. 16 seed. I am going to lock in George Bush, man. He must have been the final boss because he won. [00:21:22] Speaker A: All odds stacked against. That's fair. Actually, I would say he maybe had the best final boss. And Dick Cheney. [00:21:28] Speaker B: There it is. [00:21:29] Speaker A: Like, that was that dude got it done. Got everything over there. [00:21:33] Speaker B: I like to think I could WHOOP Dick Cheney's ass, but he shot a man. [00:21:38] Speaker A: Cold blooded. [00:21:40] Speaker B: Cold blooded shot of it. [00:21:42] Speaker A: Oh, it's John Kerry, Harry. [00:21:43] Speaker B: So we get the cleaner going into the final four. That makes sense. [00:21:46] Speaker A: I like, like I said, I like. I like the lifestyle. I just. I think I'm more of a lifestyle guy at the end of the day, and that's what I'm looking for. I don't. I don't want to be in the office. I don't want to be in the. [00:21:55] Speaker B: Office five days a week. [00:21:56] Speaker A: That's just what it comes down to in this after the pandemic, man. [00:21:59] Speaker B: I'm sorry. [00:22:00] Speaker A: I need a hybrid works model. I just need a hybrid work model. [00:22:03] Speaker B: Yeah, I got used to it. Yeah.
