Sal: I will never forgive you!

Joe: Larry!

Joe: Is your mom single, or no?

Hey, today we're gonna be a professional reference

For somebody who's looking for a new job.

Whilst on a video call,

The other guys will be messaging us

Bizarre things to say and do.

Plus, we'll be sitting right across the table

Messing with each other however we see fit.

The goal is to get through the video call

As best you can.

And if you can't, you lose.

This is like a board meeting.

I'm glad you guys could join me.

Joe is about to be a reference

For somebody applying for a job over zoom.

Everything you're saying and doing,

We are gonna command you from these laptops.

Joe, you ready to be somebody's reference?

Yes. They're not getting the job, for sure.

Here we go.

Hello. -Hi.

How's your day been? Good so far.

You know, I've been busy just working from the home office.

You know, as a 55-year-old man,

I'm not that good with technology, so...

No, I understand. My mom is actually --

She's been, like, virtually teaching right now,

And she's trying to learn how to use technology

In a way she's never had to use it before.

I know, it's crazy, because everybody's having

A tough time with it, you know.

Is your mom single, or no?

no, she's not single.

She actually is a teacher.

So, she teaches nurse-aid students,

So teaching them virtually is like --

Are you single?

yes, I am.

And the dating scene, let me tell you,

It is not the best.

Yeah, it's been a --

Yeah, it's definitely --

Oh! Did something just spray on you?

There's a pipe in the office, and it's wonky.

Oh, my gosh.

That's unfortunate.

Let me just go ahead and start asking you questions

About your relationship with jamie.

Is that okay? -Yeah, that's fine.

What was his main responsibilities,

Things like that?

One of the shining things with jamie is he did a great job.

He kept frank away from roger on helen's days off.

Okay. And so, his most recent project,

Is at discover financial services?

Discover financial services, yeah.

Does that go along the lines of being a java developer?

Yes.

What was the nature of your working relationship?

Really worked hard.

I once saw him lift a xerox machine

Because there was a paperclip that fell behind it.

And it didn't seem necessary to me,

But people want to do what they want to do sometimes.

What is -- what is going on?

There must have been something got in the house.

I'm gonna -- I actually have to go.

I literally have to end the call.

Great. Well, I mean, I appreciate

You taking the time for this, and I hope all is well.

Okay. I'll fix that leak.

I got to fix the leak, too. -Alright.

So, appreciate you.

Murr: Alright, sal's turn to go.

Oh, hey, hey. Dan, right?

-Dan: Yes, yes. -Oh, excellent.

-Alright, let me just... -Nice to see you, man.

How you doing? -Good. What about yourself?

Um...

I mean, nowadays, days all seem the same,

But, uh...

I don't really get where this is going, per se, you know.

Hi, hi. Hey. Sorry.

You're good. No worries.

Where are you located?

I'm in new york, just outside.

Yeah, yeah.

I'm -- I'm just in jersey.

So, dan, let's get to it, buddy.

Let's get to it. Wow.

What would you say, like, her strongest skills were?

She's got fat little baby toes, and I just want to eat them up.

Did she have any issues?

Hm...

She takes long lunches.

How long do you guys normally have for lunch?

It's a half hour.

One time, she was gone for two days' worth of lunch.

Some advice on best ways to manage her?

She -- she didn't -- she...

I would -- I would say don't micromanage.

-Okay. -Don't micromanage, yeah.

I mean, that's kind of why I let those, uh...

She didn't res--

I would say don't micromanage.

Do you have any --

Yeah, do you have any like, examples

Of when you possibly micromanaged

And it didn't -- it kind of backfired?

She didn't respond well to physical restraints,

I'll tell you that much.

Fair enough.

Anything else you want to add?

Um, uh...

I am not 100% sure who this person is.

Alright, murr.

I feel like I'm on the receiving end of a firing squad.

that's what it's like.

Okay, I'm starting the call now.

Hello. -Hey, what's going on?

Hey. Christian, right?

Yeah. Jamie, correct?

Jamie's the person I'm referring.

Yeah. Yep.

Her real name's jamie miller,

But we used to call jamie "taco" in the office.

Oh, really? Is there any story behind that?

She's just loves tacos.

And what were basically, like, taco's responsibility?

Taco was our secret weapon, so to speak.

Would, uh...

You know, they wanted to --

Our company specializes in cloud capabilities

And that kind of backbone infrastructure,

And what we found was that she was excellent at talking.

She was the closer, so to speak.

Okay, awesome.

And then, what were their strongest skills?

Let's see...

She had really nice teeth.

I mean, like, I'd often find myself getting lost in them.

And then what were the biggest weaknesses?

The biggest weaknesses, uh...

She --

She was a little out of shape for my taste.

Okay.

And then, any advice on how to manage, how to manage her?

Yeah, you know, I would say if she gives you any lip,

Call her "mustache" and she'll fall in line.

Excuse me one second.

Everything okay?

I'm sorry. So...

Sorry. Okay!

Alright, what are -- what are you laughing at?

I'm so sorry.

Hey, dad? Yeah?

Can I borrow the car?

Yeah. The keys are over there, tim.

Okay. Thanks, dad.

I'm so -- I'm so lost right now.

It's this, you know, working from home, right?

What person chose q as a reference for a job interview?

Someone did.

Hi. Ellington?

Yeah. How you doing?

I'm excited to help out today. Thank you.

What were her responsibilities at your company?

Uh, well, besides work,

She helped me co-chair the office death pool.

Okay.

Where did you see the most growth in jamie's development?

Ellington: Where did you see the most growth

In jamie's development?

She was shitty at paperwork at first,

But she kind of get better at it as she went along.

Yeah, I'm sure.

What's the next question?

How is the candidate

At managing and executing projects?

I will say this -- do not send the former alcoholic

To pick up all the booze for the bastille day party

And expect to have a good time.

that's good advice.
