At the HRC Dinner, Jay Made It Official

WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.580
Last week you went to the HRC dinner and I know

00:00:02.580 --> 00:00:04.639
this because my spouse went with you and your

00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:07.940
spouse and I believe your sister in law person.

00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:11.039
Right. And we talked about on last week's show

00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:15.220
that you were going to go. But now. You have

00:00:15.220 --> 00:00:18.239
gone and the HRC dinner was on National Coming

00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:20.679
Out Day. How was the dinner like how was the

00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:25.960
event itself? Let's start there. I will say this

00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:29.000
year going to try to. you know, not to be too

00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:34.020
critical here, but I there were some issues this

00:00:34.020 --> 00:00:37.100
year that hasn't happened in previous years.

00:00:37.100 --> 00:00:40.320
So and I believe that you caught on to this Alex,

00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:44.240
they downsized, they went into a smaller venue.

00:00:44.740 --> 00:00:50.200
And I believe that is due to some corporate sponsors

00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:52.759
pulling support like local Seattle corporate

00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:55.719
sponsor sponsors pulling support. So they went

00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:59.829
into a smaller area. which made it a little hectic

00:00:59.829 --> 00:01:03.429
because when you walk in you have like a silent

00:01:03.429 --> 00:01:05.469
auction going on so you're supposed to walk around

00:01:05.469 --> 00:01:08.709
the items well there wasn't really anywhere to

00:01:08.709 --> 00:01:11.129
stand so everyone was standing in front of silent

00:01:11.129 --> 00:01:15.370
auction items and yeah chatting so it was a little

00:01:15.370 --> 00:01:21.230
chaotic but once you got actually into like the

00:01:21.230 --> 00:01:26.959
dinner part I'm not gonna lie There were like

00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:29.959
two times where I was trying not to cry because

00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:35.719
it was very sad so one guest speaker was a survivor

00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:41.599
of the 2016 Orlando shooting that happened and

00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:45.859
I believe like 49 people including his partner

00:01:45.859 --> 00:01:52.659
died So he was talking about that and very inspirational

00:01:52.659 --> 00:01:56.769
very it was a great it was a great speech I am

00:01:56.769 --> 00:01:59.670
very moving, but definitely tried not to cry.

00:02:00.530 --> 00:02:04.290
I there was a lot of things about it. Let me

00:02:04.290 --> 00:02:07.030
pause here. So I it was on national coming out

00:02:07.030 --> 00:02:12.229
day. I wore makeup and address to this event.

00:02:12.449 --> 00:02:17.189
And then I posted on social media. I am coming

00:02:17.189 --> 00:02:21.289
out officially as trans. I am to pretty much

00:02:21.289 --> 00:02:25.189
like everyone. that I did not deem super important

00:02:25.189 --> 00:02:27.110
that I should tell before they just find out

00:02:27.110 --> 00:02:30.530
on social media and I was expecting so I like

00:02:30.530 --> 00:02:34.490
did it kind of shut off my phone and I was expecting

00:02:34.490 --> 00:02:37.509
to wake up the next day having to delete and

00:02:37.509 --> 00:02:43.870
block a lot of people from Florida. So back to

00:02:43.870 --> 00:02:46.949
the speeches. A lot of it was about trans rights

00:02:46.949 --> 00:02:52.039
and That kind of stuff so definitely very moving

00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:58.340
very emotional um Yeah, the food this year was

00:02:58.340 --> 00:03:06.219
okay Yes, I heard about the food I'm so So you

00:03:06.219 --> 00:03:08.620
have you have like three options you have I'm

00:03:08.620 --> 00:03:11.759
also gonna partially put that on the venue yeah,

00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:16.509
I I would agree with that and so you have a I

00:03:16.509 --> 00:03:18.729
don't care what you give me option. Then you

00:03:18.729 --> 00:03:21.310
have a vegetarian option and then you have a

00:03:21.310 --> 00:03:24.310
gluten free option. I got the I don't care what

00:03:24.310 --> 00:03:30.449
you give me option, which was some fish on a

00:03:30.449 --> 00:03:36.550
bed of corn. It was okay. But the person next

00:03:36.550 --> 00:03:39.430
to me got the vegetarian option and somehow had

00:03:39.430 --> 00:03:43.469
like fettuccine Alfredo and I was like so wanted

00:03:43.469 --> 00:03:46.379
that. I was like, oh, man, I should get the.

00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:48.120
And they didn't tell you ahead of time, like

00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:50.460
which one was they were like, I don't care, vegetarian

00:03:50.460 --> 00:03:52.419
or gluten free. That's all you got to know ahead

00:03:52.419 --> 00:03:56.900
of time. Well, it was like a meat option, like,

00:03:57.180 --> 00:03:59.159
you know, like, do you want do you want meat

00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:01.400
or do you want gluten free or do you want vegetarian?

00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:03.819
And I chose the meat one. But they didn't tell

00:04:03.819 --> 00:04:06.900
you what each option actually meant. That's no.

00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:11.099
That's weird, right? That's weird. That's definitely

00:04:11.099 --> 00:04:14.770
weird. No, it's not weird. That's just. Man,

00:04:14.930 --> 00:04:18.610
come on. Because what if I did better? You know?

00:04:19.230 --> 00:04:22.689
Yeah, I'm just eating corn. I don't know. Yeah.

00:04:23.250 --> 00:04:24.970
Anyways, it was a great time. It was a great

00:04:24.970 --> 00:04:30.610
night. Loved it. I am actually one. As I thought

00:04:30.610 --> 00:04:33.129
it was funny, no one else thought it was funny.

00:04:34.370 --> 00:04:40.410
There is a local furry bar in Seattle. It is

00:04:40.410 --> 00:04:44.899
called. I think barely furry or hardly furry.

00:04:45.139 --> 00:04:47.399
I have heard about it. I have not seen it. I

00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:50.240
have not gone. Sounds like a great time. They

00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:52.660
do make their own beer. I do kind of want to

00:04:52.660 --> 00:04:55.420
check it out. They had like a little gift basket

00:04:55.420 --> 00:04:59.939
for auction. No one was bidding on it and I want

00:04:59.939 --> 00:05:04.899
it. And I kind of like, I don't know. I thought

00:05:04.899 --> 00:05:07.459
it was funny. So I want a beanie and like a scarf

00:05:07.459 --> 00:05:13.279
from thing barely. Furry. My wife unsurprisingly

00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:19.079
won wine. A lot of wine. Yes, I'm aware. She

00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:22.139
is. So she literally is sitting there and she

00:05:22.139 --> 00:05:27.819
goes, Hey, I want some wine. I was like, Oh,

00:05:27.819 --> 00:05:33.000
good. Good for you. She goes, No. Can you help

00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.879
me carry it back to your car? And then I said,

00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:39.079
Well, how much did you win? And her response

00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:45.459
was literally. I don't know. I was like, oh,

00:05:45.540 --> 00:05:48.699
no, I was like, oh, here we go. She texted me

00:05:48.699 --> 00:05:50.379
during the thing to be like, can I bid on that?

00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:51.920
I was like, yeah, I mean, you're supporting it.

00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:54.600
It cuts. You go to look for those that have not

00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:58.379
been to like a nonprofit like benefit Gala dinner.

00:05:58.899 --> 00:06:01.540
Right. They do these auctions, these things all

00:06:01.540 --> 00:06:05.319
the time. Because what you're doing is the local

00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:08.040
businesses who are supplying the prizes, they

00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:11.319
don't. Make the the company pay for the prizes,

00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:14.860
right? So like the wine companies are like here

00:06:14.860 --> 00:06:17.639
have 20 bottles of free wine and go auction it

00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:20.779
whatever right they get a tax write -off when

00:06:20.779 --> 00:06:23.920
you buy it all the cash that you spend to auction

00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:28.420
buy it is Is given to the the nonprofit organization

00:06:28.420 --> 00:06:31.079
in this case the HRC the human rights campaign

00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:35.079
If you drink wine on game nights, dude, I wish

00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:36.879
you would drink more of that wine I've got so

00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:40.939
much No, you people do not go to the HRC in furry

00:06:40.939 --> 00:06:45.480
costume, or are you asking about the bar? The

00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:48.759
HRC is a formal event. Slightly furry. That's

00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:50.959
what it's called. Slightly furry. That is the

00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:56.579
name. Did you catch the question about pronouns

00:06:56.579 --> 00:07:00.240
in the chat? I did not. Where is that one? Are

00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:02.500
you sticking with them or are you going to see

00:07:02.500 --> 00:07:07.250
her now? Well, have we decided yet? So so much

00:07:07.250 --> 00:07:09.930
has happened in the past week. So literally that

00:07:09.930 --> 00:07:14.110
same week I did go talk about HRT in Seattle

00:07:14.110 --> 00:07:17.410
at a place called Planned Parenthood not a place

00:07:17.410 --> 00:07:19.529
I would have expected to be a good place to go

00:07:19.529 --> 00:07:22.610
talk to HRT. However, it is a great place. So

00:07:22.610 --> 00:07:24.430
if you're listening to this and you are thinking

00:07:24.430 --> 00:07:27.529
about transitioning I highly recommend Planned

00:07:27.529 --> 00:07:31.069
Parenthood why because as I was sitting there

00:07:31.069 --> 00:07:34.800
everyone coming and going was trans second They

00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:37.420
are super friendly, the nicest medical staff

00:07:37.420 --> 00:07:39.240
I have ever talked to because they're trying

00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:42.540
to put you at ease. Third, they will assign you

00:07:42.540 --> 00:07:46.139
a transition specialist that will help you with

00:07:46.139 --> 00:07:48.899
the entire process of working with surgeons and

00:07:48.899 --> 00:07:51.000
doctors and everything that you want, even if

00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:53.139
it's not something that they offer. And they

00:07:53.139 --> 00:07:55.040
work with the doctor and they work with your

00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:57.420
insurance company. So it's like a one stop shop.

00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:02.220
So that is really great. Again, did not expect

00:08:02.220 --> 00:08:05.459
Planned Parenthood to be Like the place to go,

00:08:05.540 --> 00:08:09.180
but evidently it is news to me. So there, you

00:08:09.180 --> 00:08:13.639
know, there, you know, so I did get clear to

00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:17.180
start HRT whenever I want. And then I did meet

00:08:17.180 --> 00:08:22.120
with the psychiatrist who stated that, yes, this.

00:08:23.459 --> 00:08:26.579
Everything kind of checks out and they I have

00:08:26.579 --> 00:08:28.779
to have like a second appointment with them and

00:08:28.779 --> 00:08:31.459
then they will be writing a letter to my insurance

00:08:31.459 --> 00:08:36.039
company. I'm stating that I have gender dysphoria.

00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:38.879
Why does that matter? Because I want insurance

00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:41.919
to cover everything and I don't want to pay out

00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:45.059
of pocket. So back to pronouns, why does this

00:08:45.059 --> 00:08:47.100
all tie to pronouns? I feel like the crazy guy

00:08:47.100 --> 00:08:49.580
from always sunny with the different strings

00:08:49.580 --> 00:08:53.799
and I'm just like, why does this matter? Me personally,

00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:57.500
I'm sticking with they them. This is a little

00:08:57.500 --> 00:09:04.850
weird. thing for me I Kind of feel like I have

00:09:04.850 --> 00:09:08.289
not this is me just me not speaking for the trans

00:09:08.289 --> 00:09:11.669
community at all I've been told I have a weird

00:09:11.669 --> 00:09:15.889
way of thinking about this whatever I am I feel

00:09:15.889 --> 00:09:21.090
like I have not earned she her pronouns yet,

00:09:21.090 --> 00:09:27.250
that is just me I am to each your own so I will

00:09:27.250 --> 00:09:30.679
switch to she her pronouns at some point, I think

00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:37.720
probably after I go through puberty of HRT. And

00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:41.899
we are testing out like a name change. So I don't

00:09:41.899 --> 00:09:45.059
know, I'll probably stay J on the channel. But

00:09:45.059 --> 00:09:48.899
who knows? That's that's everything. What else

00:09:48.899 --> 00:09:52.659
do you want to know? HRT also I have a eight

00:09:52.659 --> 00:09:57.740
pound Triangle block of Beecher's cheese in my

00:09:57.740 --> 00:10:03.500
fridge right now from the HRC event. There you

00:10:03.500 --> 00:10:08.940
go. It's a giant triangle of cheese. Beecher's

00:10:08.940 --> 00:10:13.759
cheese is fucking awesome. Yeah. Amazing. But

00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:17.240
that's a lot of cheese. Eight pounds of cheese.

00:10:21.340 --> 00:10:27.830

We do the deeper talks, folks with people when

00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:09.240
Jay and I are not in front of cameras. So fuck

00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:15.759
you. Jay knows how I feel anyway, but I do want

00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:21.960
to say yes. Okay. In case you guys didn't figure

00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:25.279
this out, this channel is a place where we talk

00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:28.340
about this kind of stuff as much as Jay is comfortable,

00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:31.960
right? Where we will talk about these things

00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:35.659
and we will have these subjects, okay? And if

00:11:35.659 --> 00:11:40.320
you're not comfortable with that, here's what

00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:45.080
I'm gonna do, actually. If you're not comfortable

00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:49.940
with it, I wanna challenge you. I want to challenge

00:11:49.940 --> 00:11:53.740
you to stick the fuck around. Right? Don't be

00:11:53.740 --> 00:11:55.600
an asshole in chat because even if you don't

00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:57.440
agree with it and even if it makes you uncomfortable,

00:11:57.659 --> 00:11:59.480
that doesn't mean you need to open your mouth.

00:11:59.539 --> 00:12:01.440
We talked about this earlier in the show. You

00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:04.039
can keep some thoughts to yourself. Hold it in.

00:12:04.340 --> 00:12:06.639
But I do want to challenge you to stick the fuck

00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:12.879
around. I want you to stick around so that maybe

00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:16.029
you learn some stuff. And maybe just maybe I'm

00:12:16.029 --> 00:12:20.570
not saying we're trying to force an agenda. What

00:12:20.570 --> 00:12:24.750
I'm saying is, is. Allow for the fact that maybe

00:12:24.750 --> 00:12:27.169
the reason you're fucking uncomfortable is because

00:12:27.169 --> 00:12:28.690
you've been around it a whole lot and you just

00:12:28.690 --> 00:12:31.629
don't know a lot about it. And here's the thing,

00:12:31.629 --> 00:12:36.250
at the end of the day. Jay is still the person

00:12:36.250 --> 00:12:43.149
who. Who I go do movie reviews with, right? We

00:12:43.149 --> 00:12:46.620
go to dinner. They are my wife's co -worker.

00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:50.240
They are someone who is in our lives, right?

00:12:50.700 --> 00:12:53.419
At the end of the day, regardless of what Jay's

00:12:53.419 --> 00:12:55.740
pronouns were or whether Jay had a beard or does

00:12:55.740 --> 00:12:58.440
not have a beard or was using he, him, or they,

00:12:58.659 --> 00:13:01.000
it doesn't fucking matter. The fact of the matter

00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:05.879
is, Jay is still the same person. Okay? Again,

00:13:05.899 --> 00:13:09.759
if you're uncomfortable, I challenge you to stick

00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:14.230
around and see if that helps. Okay, I can't don't

00:13:14.230 --> 00:13:16.549
be a dickhead in my chat or my comment section,

00:13:16.549 --> 00:13:23.690
but Stick around to see if it helps Okay No,

00:13:23.929 --> 00:13:26.330
that was actually entirely coincidence the color

00:13:26.330 --> 00:13:29.350
my wife periodically will change the colors She'll

00:13:29.350 --> 00:13:31.370
log into the app and be like now it's fucking

00:13:31.370 --> 00:13:36.230
red because Alice's man Okay No, it's entirely

00:13:36.230 --> 00:13:41.649
good That's a blue lightsaber that won't change

00:13:41.649 --> 00:13:45.389
colors. Hang on right there. Okay, so that is

00:13:45.389 --> 00:13:49.809
a blue lightsaber these lights up here These

00:13:49.809 --> 00:13:53.049
LEDs they will change colors. I have one set

00:13:53.049 --> 00:13:54.750
of studio light that comes this way I used to

00:13:54.750 --> 00:13:57.350
have two but what I'm burned out or no, sorry

00:13:57.350 --> 00:14:01.669
the cord cable ripped Lighting is a pain in the

00:14:01.669 --> 00:14:08.740
ass in case you didn't know It is oh my god That

00:14:08.740 --> 00:14:10.659
somebody somebody to chat in YouTube chat is

00:14:10.659 --> 00:14:14.419
calling me Spicy Mr. Rogers. I like it. I like

00:14:14.419 --> 00:14:18.399
it. Oh, yeah. There it goes. There it goes. I

00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:20.559
don't know. Maybe that'll be our new segment.

00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:24.720
Spicy Mr. Rogers. Spicy Mr. We're going to have

00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:26.120
to come up. We're going to have to come up with.

00:14:26.220 --> 00:14:27.940
Actually, that's not a terrible idea. We you

00:14:27.940 --> 00:14:31.139
know what we need to do. That will be it. This

00:14:31.139 --> 00:14:33.779
will be an improvement for the show. We're going

00:14:33.779 --> 00:14:35.639
to get we're going to get some standardized segments.

00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:38.320
I see a lot of shows do this. We don't. We haven't.

00:14:38.539 --> 00:14:40.960
You know, we didn't get some. Maybe maybe we

00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:45.000
do need like. I can. Spicy Mr. Rogers is inspiring

00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:48.200
me. Maybe it's maybe it's fucking some some Sesame

00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:51.820
Street shit we need to do on this show. Right.

00:14:52.860 --> 00:14:55.379
To help people out, fucking meet your neighbor's

00:14:55.379 --> 00:15:01.929
time. Yep. I love it. Oh, that is good. Oh, I

00:15:01.929 --> 00:15:05.470
love that. Yeah, I'm writing this down. Write

00:15:05.470 --> 00:15:08.870
that down. I am writing it down right now. Oh,

00:15:08.870 --> 00:15:14.110
God. Spicy Mr. Rogers, Sesame Street segment.

00:15:18.350 --> 00:15:23.889
Oh, that one's really good. Yeah. Purple's purple

00:15:23.889 --> 00:15:29.460
is appropriate. OK. And again, just to put everybody's

00:15:29.460 --> 00:15:31.659
fucking minds at ease, if you thought that everybody

00:15:31.659 --> 00:15:34.519
on this show or anybody on this show the whole

00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:37.419
time was completely heterosexual, you were 100

00:15:37.419 --> 00:15:42.720
% wrong. Suck it, nerds. Okay, if you thought

00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:46.200
that was the case, because it ain't true. Ain't

00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:54.860
nobody here fucking straight. Okay. And again,

00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:58.559
if you're uncomfortable with that, I encourage

00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:03.080
you to stick around. OK. Because you might learn

00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:08.120
some shit. We're also not going to pressure Jay

00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:11.600
to share any more or less of their process than

00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:14.700
they feel like sharing. Hey, we still will talk

00:16:14.700 --> 00:16:18.279
about politics and video games and movies. Yeah,

00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:22.960
because that's interesting. That is really interesting.

00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:26.440
OK. Bojay and I are waiting for shrinking season

00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:28.659
three. Maybe that'll be a segment. You all need

00:16:28.659 --> 00:16:34.059
to watch shrinking. Oh, my God. It's one by the

00:16:34.059 --> 00:16:41.580
way. Real quick, talking about therapy. Everyone

00:16:41.580 --> 00:16:44.279
says, like, become a lawyer, become a doctor,

00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:49.799
become an engineer. Yeah. I talked to my therapist

00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:52.279
about, like, one, how do you become a licensed

00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:58.549
therapist? I can't. Hey, how much do they make

00:16:58.549 --> 00:17:02.669
like industry standard? How much do you typically

00:17:02.669 --> 00:17:05.710
pay fresh out of college? You have a license.

00:17:06.230 --> 00:17:11.410
How much do you get paid? Not much. Oh, it is

00:17:11.410 --> 00:17:16.509
a lot. Is it? It's a lot for that kind of therapist

00:17:16.509 --> 00:17:20.089
or for a straight counselor, for any sort of

00:17:20.089 --> 00:17:27.460
licensed therapist. OK. And they are making a

00:17:27.460 --> 00:17:31.779
hundred and thirty dollars per hour. And typically,

00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:36.940
she said her colleagues, all of her friends do

00:17:36.940 --> 00:17:41.359
somewhere around thirty two therapy hours per

00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:45.980
week. Do the math on that. Spoiler alert. It's

00:17:45.980 --> 00:17:48.279
like two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars

00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:51.279
a year. Yeah, but that's before they account

00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:53.099
for their overhead costs and stuff like that.

00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:57.190
Office do to do to do. So, no, that's if you

00:17:57.190 --> 00:18:00.309
work for an office like the office is paying

00:18:00.309 --> 00:18:04.529
you to be. Oh, yeah, that's what they pay. They're

00:18:04.529 --> 00:18:07.230
charging more. The office is charging more than

00:18:07.230 --> 00:18:10.349
that to cover their overhead costs like rent

00:18:10.349 --> 00:18:13.650
a check. Dog Dad said a career change on top

00:18:13.650 --> 00:18:19.679
of everything, Jay. Well, I that I mean. That

00:18:19.679 --> 00:18:22.700
is way. Can I can I hit that? Can I let me get

00:18:22.700 --> 00:18:24.799
this out is you were worried you were going to

00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:26.619
have to make a career change today. I take it

00:18:26.619 --> 00:18:30.380
that did not come to pass. Dang. You actually

00:18:30.380 --> 00:18:34.420
like I talk to people, don't you? My wife says

00:18:34.420 --> 00:18:41.039
words. Occasionally I hear her. Yeah, so my.

00:18:41.289 --> 00:18:47.009
company who just had layoffs who this week is

00:18:47.009 --> 00:18:49.329
currently really trying to hammer out budget

00:18:49.329 --> 00:18:58.829
stuff. My boss's boss said, Hey, Jay, I want

00:18:58.829 --> 00:19:03.549
to talk to you about your position. Ooh, mysterious.

00:19:04.589 --> 00:19:08.710
And then someone else asked. Hey Jay because

00:19:10.569 --> 00:19:14.329

up my stuff as I'm being? Laid off or fired was

00:19:20.789 --> 00:19:23.029

00:19:46.299 --> 00:19:49.339
then they asked me, you know. If I would like

00:19:49.339 --> 00:19:54.460
to have my. Job as a redefined it and I said.

00:19:55.779 --> 00:19:57.519
I feel like I'm not going to have a job if I

00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:00.720
say no, so yes, I would still like to keep my

00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:05.430
job as you redefine my job. Thank you. Yeah,

00:20:05.430 --> 00:20:09.190
