Happy Friday. We've made it. Happy Friday, bitches. I know I'm excited. It's Friday this week. Oh boy. You know, it's been a long week. I mean, they always are. Yeah, but those end of summer blues, you know what I mean? Like we're getting to that point and it's hot as hell down here in Texas. And oh boy, I'm ready for Friday, ready for the weekend. Me too.

How are you all? Whoa, big size. I know, I know. Is that good, huh? That good. I was like, what's coming? Bracing myself. I remember when we lived in Australia, as you can, you know, I always had a hard time.

The time change, I had down. Money exchange, I had down. I always had trouble with the temperature a bit because people would be like, oh, what's the temperature there? And I'd be like, oh my gosh, I don't know. And it sounds funny to be like, it's 40, it's so hot. And I figured it out. There's a way that you convert Celsius to Fahrenheit by, I think it's like doubling it and adding 18,

roughly, again, not an exact science. Oh, okay. Can't you easily change it on your iPhone weather? I mean, probably, but I lived there for two years and could not be bothered. But in my car, I would see it and be like, I don't know whether I'm supposed to be cold or hot right now, but I can tell you so. Oh, I can't speak and see.

Like I can't speak and see at all. I can only speak in the F. But you know what? Fun fact, you know, I live in San Antonio. It's hot as hell. Somebody asked me earlier today what the weather forecast was. Like that's from here. I'm like, it's going to feel like hell what the weather forecast was. Like that's from here. I'm like, it's going to feel like hell for the next three months. I mean, there's really nothing to look up here.

You know what I'm saying? Like that's how the weather works here. It's just going to be hot as hell. That's it. I was like, Google it. Oh, gosh. Oh, man. But yeah, I can't speak in the sea.

But what is going on? We got a little HR drama, right, that we could dish about. Yeah, well, you know me, I'm always bringing up like, Oh, did you see this news article in the happy hour? And like, Jamie's like looking at her watch. She's like, she's a hard stop. Nerds go to happy hour too. All right. Lee's running to the bathroom to hide out until I've finished my story.

And I'm like, I'll just wait till you get back. She's like, Oh God, don't do that. But I will say in the U.S., you know, we still have had this like non-compete ban, so the non-compete ban is supposed to take effect September 4th in the U.S. But like lawyers be lawyering. And so there's like different lawsuits kind of all over. So there is a Texas, there you go, Lee, federal court lawsuit that's brought by Ryan LLC, a global tax advisory firm.

And the judge there has already kind of halted the ban from taking effect for a few business groups, a very few small number of employers, but has said by August 30th, she will make a decision. So like the last minute, it's like five days. Of course. Yeah, five days before it's supposed to take effect. And so having read her decision,

which is pretty savage saying that the FTC does not have legal authority to likely issue this rule. People are expecting a nationwide ban, but those in HR will know like those that did it in 2016, this kind of happened with like this exempt salary increase last minute. But two things, one is in these lawsuits, people file these like they're called amicus

curiae. It's called, it's Latin, I think, for a friend of the court is basically really long expensive legal documents being like, I concur, or I do not concur. And giving their, you know, pretty much the same thing everything else says, but like putting their opinion in like a panel when someone's like, let me piggyback on this. So this week, Schirm filed an amicus curiae brief in this. And what do you think that they said in there? Do you think they think that the FTC should ban non-competes or do you think they side with the business groups that non-competes are a good thing? Oh, let me guess.

Knowing John EC Taylor. Let me guess. Uh-huh. Business, pro-business, business, business, right? Pro-business. Well, it's really funny because it actually is pretty short. I'll give you that relatively. But in it, they are like, we're not going to go through all of our thoughts about non-competes

and the like. But they have a page and they're like, non-competes can be basically a great thing. They're like, to summarize, if they're properly tailored and things like that. Like in a dream world, they're great. When I read that, my response often and having been in legal and HR and worked very much in the world of non-competes and having enforced those in court as a lawyer and people like they're never enforceable, like they absolutely are. It doesn't feel great to enforce them. But having been a lawyer that's, that's done that, I was surprised because like, I'm like, Oh, I hate non-competes because like in HR recruiting, like you're

giving someone an offer and then they read through it and they're like, wait, what's this say? And you're like, Oh, I can't give you legal advice. Our lawyers say like, go, go ask your own attorney. And they're like, what? Like, that's, I'm, you're paying me $35,000 for this job. Like, what am I, okay. Like, I'll go ask my TikTok, someone on TikTok. Or then people leave and, and like, you know, someone comes to you and they're like, this person left. Can you write them a nasty gram?

Like, threatening their employment because they left. And you're like, I don't want to do that. And so anyway, I was, what are your thoughts on non-competes? Have you really enforced those? You've had to go to court to do that? That's one thing I've never had to mess with. I've doled them out, of course, you know, but I've not had any drama with them. I have. So when I started out, I worked in the law firm, like law, for law firms. And so that was part of my job. We had to go to court and enforce those. And

there's certainly places you can't have those, but in the different places in the U.S., I absolutely have. Which is honestly, a lot of it's shaped my opinion. Non-compete lawsuits are one of also the very few things that like on the TV shows when they're like, oh, we filed a suit, we're going to court. Non-compete lawsuits happen super quickly. And so like, lawyers are getting paid a lot, you're like researching, like researching and a lot of the testimony is hard. It's like, you know, people that are like, I didn't even realize this was a thing. I haven't been like, I'm just trying to feed my family. And anyway, I just HR legal, I have not met people who like non-compete.

So I am curious, Jamie, have you had experience or do you have thoughts either way on them? I don't know if I have thoughts either way, but I mean, I'm definitely in, in my years, yeah, I mean, we've had them, especially for like executives that are going to like, coming from a competitor or going to a competitor. And I don't know, I just think there's a really fine line that we have to walk with them. I don't know where, that's a really good question. I'm not sure.

I just need to know what I need to do. I'm more worried about that piece than anything else. Give me some clarity. Yeah, you're not wrong because two things, either non-competes for a large part part, with very few exceptions, are either struck down or not, but also then employers. The FTC is not effing around. Part of their role is also employers.

You have to send a notice to employees to tell them you don't have a non-compete anymore. They have a form for that. There was a case in Pennsylvania where a very small tree company said they need non-competes. They filed a lawsuit. That judge could not have basically smacked them down harder. She's like, absolutely not. She's like, tell me what those costs are. And their costs to do the form, it was like a couple hundred dollars.

And then, but we also have some legal fees. It was like a little over a thousand dollars. This judge was like, I don't think so. So that one got struck down. But in Texas, watch out on August 30th, to people back and forth, another one of those briefs was filed by New York's Landgone Hospital, which actually filed its own brief that was like, no, we want the non-compete ban because we do not use non-competes. And we've created this great workplace and we have it where people want to come and stay

and work with us. And so that one actually is really, I think, informative for HR departments. I'll link it in the HR besties. You may have to have like a subscription, so I'll see if I can link it for free. Not sure. But it talks, they kind of have this letter where they talk about why they don't use non-competes. And they're like, we see them, we see them because we want to hire people. And their non-competes are like, no, you can't get work there.

And they're like, so we've had candidates we can't hire. But the last is there is one more lawsuit that was filed. And that is filed by the villages in Florida, which is really, you know, the I'd say the Venn diagram of my personal and professional life, because I was just there visiting my parents. But it was the properties of the villages, like the real estate firm who says that, you know, they have they do refer to themselves as a family. who says that they do refer to themselves as a family and say when people choose to leave the POV family, then we have a relatively short cooling off period of 24 months where they cannot sell in the villages

for anybody else. And so I chuckled at that. I don't know how I missed it. I actually sit and read the village's newspaper cover to cover. You think that'd be front page. I saw it. I think it's like the Daily Village or the Villages Daily.

It's a great, a very great, fairly wholesome newspaper, many sections. And so they've done a lot of coverage on this FTC lawsuit. So I had missed this so far, but they actually had a hearing this Wednesday on August 14th. So we'll see. We'll see, mon-attorney developments. Hey besties, a quick update on the Villages lawsuit. This is Ashley, and I was checking my phone, as you do, at a happy hour. And I saw that during the hearing, the Villages versus the FTC's lawsuit in Florida, the judge

actually issued a decision at the end of the hearing. That doesn't normally happen. Normally they're like, we'll think about it. They go back to their office, scroll the internet, issue an order like weeks or longer later. But here the judge said, yeah, we're gonna grant the village's motion for a preliminary injunction.

So that means that the non-compete ban will not take effect for the properties of the villages only as an employer. It doesn't impact anybody else. And the judge said, this is not a nationwide stay. And I got this reporting from the AP. So what that means is that the key date coming up, aside from September 4th, when it's supposed to take effect nationwide, is August 30th, when the judge in the Ryan LLC versus FTC case in Texas has said that she will issue a merits decision, which could

potentially be a nationwide ban on non-competes or letting the ban go forward. So watch for August 30th. I'll be talking about it on my socials. I'm sure Jamie and Lee would rather talk about other things at happy hour, but had to give that update. Dang. Hot goss in the world of non-compete. So yeah, I just need to know what the fuck to do.

Right. I just don't know that the what is it? The juice is worth the squeeze. I'm pro work accessibility and it's always such a bitch to try and manage all of that stuff. And I'm also pro less work for me and HR like that. So we'll see. Right? It's like Hamilton, for those of you that have watched Hamilton, it's great.

And you can watch it on the musical on TV. But is the King of England where he's like, Lee, maybe Lee will sing this high, will not, as we've discussed. But where he's like, I love you, like he's as England, he's like, we love you so much. We'll kill your family and friends and send a battalion to remind you of our love. So we are a family and we love you so much that we will threaten you with legal paperwork because you, that is the, that's maybe the only thing holding you back from, from leaving.

And so, you know, I am huge proponent of creating workplaces that people want to be at, not just that they have to. But I know there's some, like anything, there's some nuances. So we will be watching these nuances and it'll be last minute legal developments because in HR, the world of masochistic HR, you always got to be having plans B, C, and D. Mm hmm. Always.

I'm following that more than the non-compete. I wonder how that's going to go. Not good? I'm all looking at you for the legal update. Like, just like, yes or no? I don't know.

Crazy. Well, isn't it till the end of the year? I think it really is going to depend on the election, right? I mean, it was already signed by the president. Things get challenged in court. Yeah. You never know. You never know.

The Supreme Court ultimately has become fairly predictable in certain ways. I'm having some issues with TikTok this week. All those spam accounts, and I know you'll have those we've talked about. I've had more. I had like six more pop up this week. Yeah. Oh my gosh. It's crazy. A manager method account.

Yeah. And they'll have your image and they'll all have, and they respond to comments with this image and it'll say, follow me on Telegram. I don't have Telegram. I'm not going to DM someone for money. I'm not that ragged. DM me. Okay. If you know Maddie, career finessor, she was laughing. She messaged me on TikTok because I posted on a story. It was like, this is not me. I don't know what to say. I reported it to TikTok. And TikTok is like, it's not a community violation. These accounts that say, this is my backup account. I'm on Telegram, is not a violation. Like, okay.

But the one she saw, she laughed, is Maddie. It started saying, hey, big fans. She's like, am I getting... Oh my gosh. Hey, big fans, follow me here. So big and little fans of all types. I'm not there. That's like, Lee has a bunch, I think six accounts on Facebook.

I'm just looking right now. Yeah, look, there's like 15 on TikTok, which I have this, what is it? Trademarked? Is that the right word? Trademarked? Yo, I don't think I have any. Look, I've got 15 accounts, like spoof accounts on the TikTok. And then all funny, this weekend, what was it, Sunday, Jamie texts the pod group chat with a picture

of me that's on Facebook in a bathing suit. And she's like, ooh, hot. And I was like, oh, damn, okay, yeah. I didn't put that on the Facebook. That's me. Yeah, that's definitely me from a story from last summer or something, you know, Fourth of July. Totally appropriate. It wasn't like only fans content.

But, you know, I'm like, that's not mine. So yeah, I have like a handful of fake accounts on the Facebook. Yeah, you have like six, I think we figured out. Because then I just started searching. And I'm like, I don't even know which one's the real you at this point. I know that has more followers than me on Facebook. Of course, I'm not on Facebook. I just have to have that page to have Instagram.

Yeah, it's a meta thing. So yeah, I mean, at least put fan club or something on that shit. I don't know. That's weird. It's odd. But I don't think they're asking for money yet on Facebook. Well, that's what I It's odd. But I don't think they're asking for money yet on Facebook, on Facebook. Well, that's what I was worried about. Like maybe they're not asking money, but maybe

what if they're receiving some kind of bonuses? Oh, I know. Yeah, they're making money. Yeah. And it's your content. They're just literally recycling it. Oh, isn't it wild? Fun stuff. And before anyone jumps down my throat, meme pages are not eligible for bonuses. So no, because I know someone will. They always do. Meme pages are not eligible for bonuses. Now the chief mean officer, my personal page is, and as you know, I only have like 20,000 followers on there. So don't say only the people that's amazing. I'm just saying like it's not but mean

pages are not allowed bonuses. So when I repost people's content and tag them, it's really more for exposure than anything else because I don't get anything from it. I did not realize that. Yeah. And same thing with thread bonuses. Threads now is offering some creators bonuses, but like my accounts, even though I have large followings on threads, will not be eligible for those bonuses. Oh, because it carries over with the name and whatnot? Yeah. Yeah.

Which is fine, but like I always kind of like to say meme pages are literally doing this for fun. Like we don't get paid to do it. So you know, go support those creators first. And that's why I always tag them and give them credit, because that's kind of the point. We appreciate that. I'm just giving them maybe possibly a larger platform to find them.

I haven't seen a video of mine up there lately. I guess I haven't been funny. Okay, okay. Damn. But I don't beg, right? I bet you have some beggars in your DMs, don't you? Like every day? Oh, yeah. Jeez, man. See, Squeaky Wheel, that's my problem.

I need to be coming up hitting on your door every day is the thing, you know? Yeah. I mean, every day I have at least, oh God, at least 10 people that tag me every day. Like after they post something? Yeah, to repost their stuff. Damn. Yeah. And sometimes they post multiple times.

And that's just on humorous. I'm not even talking about millennial. Millennials are a whole different other beast. Yeah. And that's the thing too. I don't think a lot of people realize that about meme pages is a lot of times these digital creators are actually sending us their content to repost. So a lot of people are like, well, you stole that.

And I'm like, why would, one, if I stole it, why would I give them credit? Why would I tag them and give them credit? But two, they don't even realize like the kind of relationship. Exactly. That's how I've met you guys. That's how I met Ashley. And we became friends. Yeah. Mm hmm. But yeah, no, that exposure is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, just FYI, you know,

people do get pissed off sometimes. I see that in the comments. Yeah. And, you know, whenever I find someone's that I don't see tag, I will send it to the creator too. Like, I'm on the lookout. I did that three times this week. Because I'm like, they didn't tag you. I'm like, at least.

And it was like a big account. Yeah, it was a big account. Online vigilante. They have like 3 million followers. Like, that's. Oof. Yeah. What?

It's cringy. I know, right? That was educational, Jamie. I learned something. So I texted the ladies the other day. I was like, I have something to talk about at happy hour. I got embarrassed and my friend was there and witnessed the whole thing. And she's like, I don't know if it's called secondhand embarrassment, but I just watched

this happen to you. And I hate that emotion. That's my least favorite feeling. The secondhand embarrassment, worse than being embarrassed myself. I don't really get self-embarrassment, but the secondhand. So am I going to feel it listening to this? No, because I didn't witness it. I will feel it all the time.

You'll get a third hand, I guess. I mean, I get embarrassed, as you all know. We went on Friday, I guess. I mean, I get embarrassed, as you all know. But so we went on Friday, last Friday. So maybe I'll return there tonight to try to avenge myself. But we went to Barn, which is like the Cheers of Dunwoody. Both Jamie and Lee have been there. We've been there together. And they had like a back to school party, cornhole party, like huge community thing, live bands. It was a lot of fun. So we're there and it's like, Jamie and Lee know this, Dunwoody, where we are, it's like a small town in a big city of Atlanta. People just know each other and it's not unique to me.

I might have, I don't know, I might cross paths a little bit more or be an extrovert. So I'm more willing to say things. I am turning myself into an introvert after this. Because I'm walking around seeing people high-fiving, hugs, like, oh my God, how's it going? Back to school summer, blah, all the things. Anyways, I'm standing there, kind of bebop into the music, and I look over and I see this woman who's the wife of the owner of Barn. And so I know I'm Facebook friends with her, whatever. I wave and I'm like, hey. And then she's walking over. I give her a hug. I'm like, how are you?

She walks away and I get this look on my face and Dan, my husband, looks at me and he's like, that was not her, was it? And I was like, oh, I don't think. I'm not 100%. I'm not 100%. And so I was like, I don't know. Anyway, so this one's walking away. So I'm kind of trying to look at her and I can see her looking at me in that way that I'm like, nope, now I'm not. I went from being 100% positive to...

She's like looking at you like, what the fuck was that? Right? Like she's doing that look. So then I go to my girlfriend Dawn, who was right next to me and I was like, oh, I'm so embarrassed. You know, I'm like, I saw this one, like, do you think that's, you know, this woman, whatever. And Dawn's like, ah, I don't think so. She's like, they look, they look a lot alike. So like, I don't, I don't think it's bad that you thought it was her. And I was like, but I like hugged her. And she started laughing. She's like, well, that's Dan's like, why do you do this?

Like, so my husband's there's like, why can't you just like hold back? And I'm like, I don't know. But so anyway, so we're just in there watching all of a sudden this woman, that woman walks up to me and she goes, did you think I was somebody else? She didn't just let it go. No. Trying to make a mix that. But she goes, she's like, I was over here and just really racking my brain. She's like,

I was going to, I was really racking my brain to see how I might have known you. She's like, but I thought she's like, you thought I was somebody else and you waved to me and you realized I wasn't when I walked away, didn't you? I go, yeah, no, yeah, that's exactly what happened. And she goes, oh, that's, that's okay. And walked away. My girlfriend Dawn, that was right there. She's like, you're never talking to anybody again, are you? I was like, I mean, I'd like to say no, but probably, but she called, she called me out. And so I immediately then went and texted the girls because I just wanted to hide. And she called me out for exactly what I did, which, and she wasn't being rude about it, but I felt like I would not have done that.

Like let the person already know. I would have, but not, not to be mean, like Ashley's saying to make it make sense. Right. Because like, I would be sitting over there. Like who the fuck are you? Am I related to that person and don't realize it? Like no shit, like I'd be sitting over there like, oh my God, like what did I miss?

Uh, uh, and then verbal diarrhea, right? Some of us are just so transparent. We just say whatever we think. Like I'd be like, okay, so I think what happened was you thought I was, you know, like, that's probably how she did it, right? I mean, just like matter of fact, like this was these are the facts of the case.

It was. So as we so in the back to school theme, when kids are learning about chemistry, the most caustic dangerous combination is when you have two individuals in public in a large setting, one of which is somebody that's over enthusiastic and can't help herself in the other person that is direct. And when that happens in the person makes mistakes. So I, right. So she wasn't being rude at all, but I felt, I wanted to run away, just run. Oh my gosh. Oh my God. Did you tell the actual person like the bar and wife or the bar and husband?

And then I was like, well, wait, maybe what if like, I don't know who this person is, so I can't describe her. So what's she going to be then looking around for this person? Like, what does she look like? Does she look like me? And then what if she's like, that person doesn't look like me. So these are, this is like, this is how I spent the rest of my mental energy. And then I was like, I think it's time to go home.

So oh my God. Oh my God. That's a level of overthinking, right? Yeah. Definitely needed a melatonin Friday night to go to sleep. Oh, bless your heart. That is like an extrovert's worst nightmare, right? You need to be nipped back a little bit sometimes. And so I realized I can refrain a little bit, which then someone will probably know me and see me and think I'm being rude because I'm not being as friendly as I am. But it did make me probably right size my expectations a little bit.

Oh my gosh. Well, you know, I had an embarrassing moment too, which I shared with y'all. But what was it last week? Two weeks ago? Yeah. Since we're on two weeks ago? Yeah. Since we're on the embarrassing trend, yeah. I went to go get my toes done and I went to my usual place and I sat down in the pedicure seat and I took my shoes off, but I still had my socks on.

And see, I get shellac, just FYII so it doesn't air dry right it's instant dry kind of thing anyway that's why I was wearing tennis shoes and socks but just random point I had to make. I had my socks on and Kelsey who's my manicurist she says oh did you pick a color and I was like oh shit no I did and I forgot And so I popped up with just socks on, on this, what turned out to be slick as fuck tile floor. Like the slickest floor ever in the history of floors. And I fell and I'm like six foot

and that's like fall in four stories. Like if that's like a four story building sort of fall to where my legs were up like above my head fall landing on my side. Okay. My knee, my hip, my elbow, all of my right side. Of course I'm right handed. Of course the next day I was leaving for New York City, right? Now I'm all jacked up. It was like being in a car accident, whole salons full, only day they have everything busy. Of course.

Right? And I'm splayed out. I mean, just all these legs and limbs everywhere. I mean, just horrific, right? And of course, the people that I know that work there all run to me because they love me. I've been going there for years. Everyone in the pedicure beds all over, all the customers just looking at me like, what the, oh my gosh, you know? So I'm sitting there and the person

that was in the pedicure chair, not bed, I wish it was a bed, the pedicure chair that was right next to me, older lady, like I'm talking older, older, like 90, like 100, okay, years old, like very old, okay. She looks down on me because I'm like on the floor right there. And I like caught eyes with her and she goes, wow, that is so embarrassing. What a bitch. I want to say a different word, but see you next Tuesday. Oh man, I was just there like all throbbing. I hadn't even stood up. It took me a while to stand up because I was wondering if something was broken. Knee size of a freaking softball. I'm bruising up. Yeah, you sent us a picture.

They ice me. Oh yeah. Yeah, I'm all, I still bruises. Oh my gosh. I'm like a peach. I just looked at her. Typically I'm street, right? Y'all have seen it. Like if someone like whatever, like I get street really quick, right? I just looked at her like, are you fucking kidding me? Like, oh my God, that was so hurtful. No, are you okay or anything like that? So then to your point on overthinking Ashley, ever since then, especially in the shower, I'm thinking about the comebacks to the old lady.

See, I wish like I would have said, because she's like, Oh, wow, that was embarrassing. I wanted to say it's not as embarrassing as your face. I would have died. I would have died to be there. I mean, yeah, that's rude to an old lady, but shit, she's rude as hell. You know, here's some medicine. Here's the medicine, bitch, your own. Yeah, that was so uncalled for. yeah, that's rude to an old lady, but shit, she's rude as hell. You know, here's some medicine. Here's the medicine, bitch, your own. Yeah, that that was so uncalled for. Like, that's what I'm like. I was concussed. OK, like it was that bad. It was that bad, y'all.

It's one of those like I could have died, you know, like that's how people die is accidents in the home. Right. I mean, like you hit. So my God. Oh, that bitch. Wow. That's so embarrassing. How about, Oh my God, are you okay? Can I get you anything? You know what I mean? Damn. I mean, it is, as people get older, I mean, there are beauties to getting older. As I've gotten older, if they feel like I've had to go. You fall a lot. True.

But you, like, I, you know, I feel like I have such a better perspective, I care less. But there is, I don't know what age it is, but there is an age that people get to and they do not give a fuck anymore. And they will say things like, sometimes they're spouting wisdom and you read those articles that are like, oh, before people die on hospice, they tell you the things they meant. You're like, God, that's really true. I need to take that advice. The flip side of that is they will say things that are absolutely none of their business,

inappropriate like that. How embarrassing. I mean, only if people are going to be rude. Yeah. Yeah. That's so uncalled for. Like, what? But it's like in a moment, I couldn't even say anything because it's like I knew I was

looking at my future self. You know, like that's so me in the future, just to really talk out loud even more. Wow, that's so embarrassing. I'm like, shit, that's me at 90. I was just thinking to myself, I can't wait to see Leah at 90 because you will not give a fuck and you will put it straight out there. But you wouldn't, but now you know, but you would never do that.

No, I would care. Yeah. I mean, I freak out. Oh my God. Are you okay? Holy shit. You know? It like hurts my feelings actually. I know. Like for you. Like I want to go punch her in the face. And I feel like if I was sitting there, I would say something to her.

I would be like, like, you would have said, man, man, the way you did. I would have even said something. Like, even if I didn't know you, even if I didn't know you, because I've, I've been that girl too, like that I'll just get involved in fights. Like if someone being a Karen to like a cashier, I'm like, you need to stop. So I, yeah, yeah. It's for sport. Well, I just can't shut my fucking mouth as my husband. This makes me excited for Vegas, honestly, because I'm envisioning Jamie's going to bring

she's going to bring her harness and she's going to bring Batman wings to Vegas because she's going to be the little vigilante, you know, writing when she sees people being disrespectful. Do you need help? Excuse me, ma'am. Excuse me, sir. You will stop that right now, motherfucker. Like, she's really going to bring that. I just can't help myself. Bumble knows it's hard to start conversations.

Hey. No, too basic. Hi there. Still no. What about, hello, handsome? Ugh, who knew you could give yourself the ick? That's why Bumble is changing how you start conversations. You can now make the first move or not.

With opening moves, you simply choose a question to be automatically sent to your matches. Then sit back and let your matches start the chat. Download Bumble and try it for yourself. You know, speaking of Vegas, I was looking at shirts last night. Because remember, we're doing the shirts thing. If y'all recall, we're doing the shirts thing where we get each other a shirt. Yes, I already have y'all's shirts. I've had them for a month.

Now what I was thinking, because there's all these shirts that I do want to buy. I have two for each of you. I'm like, I'll have to choose somehow. You know, It's going to be hard. Do I just buy all four? I don't know. I might. But it has to be a shirt we can actually post. Yes. Mine is. Mine is. Lee was that directed to Jamie and not me? Yeah. To be honest with you. But to me too,

because there's other shirts I want to buy like so bad, they're nasty as hell though. I'm like, Dan, there's no way we can make a video and it says what it says. You know what I mean? Yeah. I sent y'all the one that I really wanted to get, but I was like, I don't know. I saw that one too. For those listening, it says Dill, D-I-L-L, and then Doe, D-O-E, and it's literally a deer as a pickle. It was very cute. It's a deer with a pickled body.

It really was my favorite, but I was like, this might not be appropriate. Well, that's a helpful example. It's always helpful to have examples when you're using vague terms, like appropriate, inappropriate, like a dress code to have examples. So like that will go in the inappropriate column. Yeah, I'll probably have like My Little Pony shirts and you'll all be real disappointed. I think Dilda is appropriate. The clam jam ones.

Clam jam. Oh, no. Clam jam? I hadn't seen those ones. But yeah, there's a lot. Clam jam. Oh, no. Clam jam? I hadn't seen those ones. But yeah, there's a lot. If you just go search crazy women's t-shirts on the Amazon or naughty, I was putting naughty or inappropriate.

Or inappropriate is what I did. Oh, wow. You can see some of the selections that we're looking at. That'll be fun. There's a lot. Well, I do think, you know, you always have to calibrate things. I actually think it'd be hilarious for us to have like 12 shirts and for us to individually select what we think would be appropriate and inappropriate on each and see. We should play that on our stories.

We will. Everyone can contribute four. Let's do that. Because see, I think dildo is appropriate. Because it's dill and then doe. And there's no toy there. It's a pickle bear. I'm just saying you could post that and it's not getting censored.

You know what I'm saying? It isn't like a giant cop. Okay. Okay. It's a great... Okay.'t like a giant cock. Okay. Okay. It's a great shirt. Okay. That's a good point. That would be inappropriate to you, Ashley?

A giant cock? Because you were, you know, no, no, no, no, no, that's fine there. But the dildo shirt. I don't know. Because you will have to wear it. You have to wear the shirt that you're given. FYI. I need to reflect on this.

At least for a meal. I can't. I don't know. I guess so. I guess, you know me, I'm a little more corny. So I need to reflect on this. Okay. I'm thinking.

We'll play the quiz though. And then you'll see, you know what you're in for, I guess. How much do you need a brace? I know. But this is what friend groups are. You have one that's lame and that's why I'm probably going to have by far the most inappropriate shirts, which I get also. Good times.

Good times. Well, yeah. So we'll see some of you hopefully at HR Tech. We'll be there with UKG and a few others, right? And so that'll be fun. But come say hi to us in Vegas if you're in Vegas in September for sure. We'll put our information. We have a fun, like, dedicated event.

It's not going to be like the sherm where like, where can we meet? Lee and I will be like, ah, I don't know, around 142, we think we'll be around booth 348. Like maybe we'll walk past it. Like, oh, are you going to be there? Like, no, no, we'll be near there. We'll try to. We were just conference goers. Yeah.

Because it was at the last minute. We are planning, we're planning this and we have a very fun events. We're pumped. Yes. Yes. Oh, awesome. Well, hey, that's it for happy hour, right? We got to go get real drinks now. But we appreciate everybody. Yes. Like, follow, that's it for happy hour, right? We got to go get real drinks now.

But we appreciate everybody. Yes, like, follow, share all that fun stuff. Yeah. Happy Friday, y'all. Clink.
