Joel (1m 39s):
I'll remind you that you weren't real happy about the editing of my chomping on wings the last time we talked. So this time you bring me to a Mexican place with chips and salsa in front of me. So you have a nightmare editing night of editing in your future. My friend.
Chad (1m 60s):
Anywhere that we meet for lunch, there's going to be gnawing, it's just gonna happen. So I just have to live with it and listeners so do you.
Joel (2m 6s):
At least this one comes with a Micheloda and a margarita. Lalalala.
Chad (2m 9s):
Yes. And luckily again, in downtown Columbus, outside.
Joel (2m 17s):
COVID friendly, COVID aware.
Chad (2m 17s):
Yes.
Joel (2m 17s):
Unlike our first news story, which we'll get to. And that's exactly right, but, but shout outs! What do you think? I'm going to go with Jeremy Roberts as my first shout out. We mentioned Jeremy in last week's show was a Hiring Solved layoffs.
Chad (2m 33s):
Layoff.
Joel (2m 33s):
Unfortunately, but he has found, he has found his feet, his footing. My God, he'll be joining Seek Out.
Chad (2m 42s):
Really?
Joel (2m 42s):
Former death match winner Anoop Gupta.
Chad (2m 42s):
Very smart, good job Anoop.
Joel (2m 47s):
Well done on both parties. I'm excited to see how that works out. Jeremy will apparently be doing some sort of sales consulting with clients and whatnot. We'll get more on that. But shout out to Jeremy.
Chad (2m 58s):
Good call and Jackie's out there, too, by the way. Don't forget it. Don't don't forget about her.
Joel (3m 0s):
Jackie's waiting. She's got some solid talent.
Chad (3m 4s):
She's got some, she's got some things being thrown at her. So if you want to get in the Jackie running, you should be doing that pretty pretty quickly. Jackie, running the Jackie running. That's what we're going to call it.
Joel (3m 15s):
Cool runnings, Jackie runnings. Oh dude. No, John Candy in this one though
Chad (3m 19s):
Dude if you ever go to, if you ever go to Jamaica and you take the bus to Negril, you'll be able to hear about all the cool runnings.
Joel (3m 24s):
Is that right?
Chad (3m 24s):
Oh yes it was a blast to Jamaica.
Joel (3m 27s):
That doesn't sound like it'd be on the top five reasons to go to Jamaica.
Chad (3m 30s):
It's not, but it's a blast.
Joel (3m 32s):
If I do, I'll check that out.
Chad (3m 34s):
Okay. Two shout outs real quick. I'm gonna pull these together. One for John Thompson he died at 78. He led Georgetown to the 1984 national championship. He totally built that fucking program, dude. He was a beast! Iverson was there during his time. I think he changed Iverson's life.
Joel (3m 55s):
Yeah. You know you and I grew up in a time when the big East was the big beast.
Chad (3m 57s):
They owned it. Owned it!
Joel (3m 57s):
And I can remember when St. John's, Georgetown, Villanova and we're on the final four together. And John Thompson was a central figure in sports in our lifetime. We'll we'll certainly be missed the impact that he had on multiple lives and impacted you mentioned Allen Iverson. Iverson was noted as a top 10 football player in the country coming out of high school, as well as basketball. And he got into some trouble in high school.
Joel (4m 29s):
And the, the scholarship offers dried up and John Thompson gave this kid a chance, where he might not have had a chance. That's the kind of guy he was
Chad (4m 39s):
Ivaerson showed us what a, what a man playing a boys game looked like. Cause he owned everybody when he was at Georgetown. Chadwick Bozeman left us way too soon. He just died at 43 colon cancer. You'll know him from Black Panther, 42, Get on Up, Marshall, some really cool and hard hitting movies.
Joel (4m 57s):
Don't forget. Dress day, featuring the legendary football franchise. Cleveland Browns.
Chad (4m 57s):
Yes. Yes. But, but yeah, Chadwick Bozeman dies at 43 and he did, he did a handful of movies. Wow. He had cancer.
Joel (5m 17s):
Beast, total beast to be able to do that while having colon cancer.
Chad (5m 21s):
I'm at a loss, I'm at a loss for words. So again, you know, rest in peace, John Thompson and definitely Chadwick Bozeman.
Joel (5m 28s):
Yep. And let me remind our listeners out there that too, getting a colonoscopy is important and I've got mine.
Chad (5m 32s):
Yes good call.
Joel (5m 32s):
I'm not sure Chad has had his, we might have to do a show from the operating table while Chad gets probed, if you will. But yeah, if you're wondering questioning, if you're over 40, if there's history in your family. Go get it done. Go get it done. You'll, you'll be thankful that you did.
Chad (5m 53s):
Get it done.
Joel (5m 53s):
Shout out from me, Hillary Stern,
Chad (5m 53s):
Who?
Joel (5m 53s):
stick with me for here for a second.
Chad (5m 53s):
Okay.
Joel (5m 53s):
We both agree that the political landscape in this country has become a very black and white environment. Whether if you're, if you're not with us, you're against us.
Chad (6m 9s):
It's going to get worse the closer it gets to November.
Joel (6m 11s):
It's going to go worse, it's going to get worse. So I put out what I thought was sort of a jovial, Facebook posts.
Chad (6m 16s):
You were fishing.
Joel (6m 16s):
Yeah, I was, I was maybe fishing.
Chad (6m 20s):
You were fishing.
Joel (6m 20s):
I was agitating, I think is the right word.
Chad (6m 25s):
Yes, snarky fishing.
Joel (6m 25s):
Made a comment about Biden, sort of being a GAF GAF factory.
Chad (6m 31s):
And he is. I support Biden. I'm going to vote for the dude, but he is a GAF factor.
Joel (6m 36s):
It wasn't in it. Wasn't a, not the Trump isn't cause they're both a little bit of a bad episode.
Chad (6m 39s):
Trump just lies all the time.
Joel (6m 39s):
The old classic foam in the nineties. I think so Hilary Stern, who I initially met in 2008, she was doing a story on job search. I gave her a quote and didn't hear anything from her. You know, for 12, 13 years, I Facebook friended her because back in 2008, everyone wanted to be Facebook friends.
Chad (7m 4s):
That's just what you did.
Joel (7m 6s):
So she comes out of nowhere and just berates me, says it, all my friends think my hot take is a steaming pile of garbage and calls me an Epic asshole basically.
Chad (7m 13s):
She nailed that.
Joel (7m 13s):
This is the environment. So yeah, she did probably she's probably, but I didn't, there was no banter back and forth. She just dropped a bomb and then unfriended me. So she'll probably never hear this or know about it. But Hillary man,
Chad (7m 26s):
That escalated quickly.
Joel (7m 29s):
I mean, it's not worth it. Trust me. It's not worth it. Life is too short. Yes. It's too short.
Chad (7m 41s):
It is. I've been defriending motherfuckers on Facebook just because they're looking sideways about this point. Cause I know it's going to get worse. Yeah.
Joel (7m 49s):
If Trump wins this country is going to go bonkers.
Chad (7m 51s):
Yeah, indeed, no matter what I'm going to Portugal. Let's get outta here. Okay. So our buddy Tyler Weeks over at Intel, Tyler was trolling the new 10 guy English software announcement on Twitter and writing about how to use conversational AI without it feeling like you're cat-fishing them. He actually, he actually had Manti Te'o and Star Trek references in the same article, Dude that was too much.
Joel (8m 19s):
Only Tyler two references together. But shout out to Tim guy, by the way, your recruiting robot it's in English. It can now disappoint you and let you down in English, which is nice. But now we get to finally see what this thing has. This thing is finally speaking the language of money worldwide. And yeah, I don't know if it's an English accent or American accent, Australian?
Chad (8m 43s):
I can't wait.
Joel (8m 46s):
Yeah, it's going to be interesting.
Chad (8m 46s):
I want the Obama face
Joel (8m 49s):
Virus free recruiting robot. Let's see. Let's see what happens. I was disappointed that there's no sort of a spout for hand sanitizer. As you, as you interview with it, then
Chad (8m 59s):
I think that's actually an upgrade. A shout out, shout out to Adam Gordon of Candidate ID.
Joel (9m 4s):
That guy can dress, can't he?
Chad (9m 6s):
Oh my God. And socks, socks, seriously.
Joel (9m 6s):
Mr. Style
Chad (9m 6s):
He tweeted. And I quote, if my startup had a parasitic internet scraping model, there's only one place I'd go for VC funding, China. That's right. I believe Adam is onto something. There it's a new slogan. I think for a Hiretual.
Joel (9m 26s):
If Adam is not banned in China, he soon will be
Chad (9m 30s):
His. I think he just came up with a new slogan for highchair hire to hire, hire, hire tool. It's spelled just fucks up the human brain Hiretual, the parasitic internet scraping tool for you. Adam tells it like it is dude. I love that guy.
Joel (9m 46s):
Jeremy Robert's at Seek Out. Will certainly appreciate that joke as a competitive employee. Shout out to Facebook has declared. There will be no new political ads. Two weeks. I believe up until the election. And we'll see you're you're looking like you're not real impressed with that.
Chad (10m 5s):
I don't believe Zuckerberg as far as I can throw that piece of shit
Joel (10m 8s):
By the way, it's looking like the big boy caught by huge brands hasn't done shit to Facebook. It stock continues to rock it higher.
Chad (10m 17s):
And that's about it. Make your statement and move the fuck on shout out to Kelly Robinson who tweeted and I quote Saturday morning pod catch up time starting with headlines of Google, LinkedIn and sex dolls. What could go wrong? Not a damn thing, Kelly, miss ya man, call me.
Joel (10m 34s):
You're welcome Kelly. You're welcome. That's all I have to say. Mathison in startup world got 2 million in seed funding this week.
Chad (10m 43s):
For what?
Joel (10m 43s):
They're there on the trend of diversity, social networks for professionals. We've mentioned a few of those in the past few weeks, they continue to make money and continue to make waves. So Mathison, shout out to you!
Chad (10m 57s):
Outcomes, baby show me the outcomes. A big shout out to Chad Kremer. How do you like that last name?
Joel (11m 7s):
That's your porn name.
Chad (11m 7s):
That is my porn name!
Joel (11m 7s):
Starring Jack Hammer and Chad Creamer.
Chad (11m 11s):
VP over at Wilson, HCG. Thanks for listening brother.
Joel (11m 17s):
So Old Navy
Chad (11m 17s):
Old Navy?
Joel (11m 17s):
I like to get my, my stylish clothes
Chad (11m 23s):
Because they give them to you for free for God's sakes, goddamn discount.
Joel (11m 27s):
They pay me to go shop at Old Navy. They're going to give, I guess essentially paid holidays on election day for their workers to go work the polls.
Chad (11m 33s):
Stout, that is stout!
Joel (11m 33s):
That's a good thing. You know, it's an aging group of people that are working the polls. Yeah. Put some young, Old Navy employees.
Chad (11m 40s):
I will be working the polls, did I just say that out loud?
Joel (11m 46s):
You did. And my, my newly Americanized wife, dual citizen of will be working the polls. She has taken her democratic expectations to a whole new level. We got yard signs up. We got all working. It's a yeah. It's democracy in action at Casa de Cheesman,
Chad (12m 7s):
Gotta get out of this poll woYrking kind of mindset. Last week, I missed Jasper Spanjaart on the, on the shout outs. He's actually the dude who shared the toe talent article with us about Google for Jobs, which is now available in the Netherlands, my bad brother
Joel (12m 23s):
Shout Out to Jasper. I just want to note that we worked Chad Kremer and working the polls in the same, same segment.
Chad (12m 30s):
I was trying to get away from that as fast as I possibly can.
Joel (12m 32s):
To let go, not to let it go. Shout out to Indian startup, Apnah, I think I'm saying that correctly,
