00:00What do you do when you have a run-in with your ex-boss?
00:03Like, you show up and you look over and you're like,
00:05Ooh, my ex-boss is there.
00:0799.5 QIK.
00:08It's Mark and Melanie, Tampa Bay's morning crew.
00:10Melanie, this just happened to you last Friday night.
00:13Remind me not to tell you anything.
00:16Like, at all. Anything.
00:17Oh, that's right. You did say not to say it was you specifically.
00:20Well, sorry, I forgot.
00:22So it happened to you Friday night. We're at a concert.
00:24Yes.
00:24You look over and your ex-boss is there.
00:26Yep.
00:27Now, you had a decent relationship with him.
00:30Yeah.
00:30Yeah. It was a good relationship.
00:32Yes.
00:33But still an ex-boss.
00:35Exactly.
00:36Yeah. It's different.
00:37I mean, I still quit the job that he was, you know, my supervisor for.
00:42So it's just awkward.
00:44Yeah.
00:45Because, you know, I've got a new boss now.
00:47Right.
00:47And then he knows that new boss. It's just weird. The whole situation.
00:51So did you get like, what happens to me when I run into an old boss is there's those layers of small talk.
00:58How you been?
00:59How's the family?
01:00A hundred percent.
01:01How's the dog?
01:02How's the Redskins?
01:03Like they just, they just, you know, like you get to family, to sports.
01:07Sometimes there's some weather in there.
01:08You know what I mean?
01:09Mine.
01:09It's actually like a 1980s radio show.
01:12You just go through all like the layers before you really get to what is probably important or should be important.
01:18I should have hit the forecast now that I'm thinking about it.
01:21You should have hit the traffic button.
01:22Yeah.
01:23I did miss that.
01:24No, there was definitely the small talk.
01:25It was, hey, oh, it's been a long time.
01:28And it's like, oh, what has it been?
01:29And then when you really do it, you're like, oh, wow, five years or so.
01:32I mean, it has been a long time.
01:34But then this is the part that sucks is that it's just like running into an ex, you know, significant other.
01:41You always want to look like you're like winning in life, right?
01:44Yeah.
01:45So I feel that way.
01:46Obviously, I love doing the morning show with you.
01:49So I feel like I'm winning.
01:50Except for.
01:51Sorry, Kevin.
01:52You didn't get it.
01:52I know.
01:53It's all right.
01:54The both of you.
01:55All of you guys.
01:56Buck didn't even get a thought.
01:57Oh, my gosh.
01:58Do I need to?
01:59I'm going to leave.
02:00Might as well.
02:01So finally, it's going to be humid today.
02:04A little warm outside.
02:05I'm going to Hawaii.
02:07Obviously, I'm talking about all of you guys.
02:10But it was awkward because I'm talking to him and we're doing the small talk.
02:15And he's like, oh, you got a wedding coming up and all this stuff.
02:17And then a record label rep comes up and goes, OK, I'm here to, you know, take you guys backstage.
02:23But she, like, looked at me like, like, not you, but, like, them backstage.
02:29And then I was like, oh, you guys are going back.
02:31OK.
02:31All right.
02:31Cool.
02:32And then I just was there by myself.
02:34It was so awkward.
02:35So it's the game of Pong and he wins at the game of life, right?
02:39For a minute, he's like, oh, so I'm still winning in life.
02:41He was going backstage and I was going to wait in a bathroom line.
02:45So.
02:45Well, you have to go to the bathroom.
02:47It's fine.
02:47Yeah, I know.
02:48Have you seen the bathroom line at the amphitheater?
02:50He's living that fake life of luxury.
02:52You're just doing what you have to do.
02:53Yeah.
02:54Right.
02:54That's how we should look at this.
02:55There you go.
02:56All right.
02:57No, but it was just really funny because it was totally, I mean, it was already awkward
03:01as it was, but then it was like, oh, and now I'm here to take you guys backstage.
03:04No, no, no, not you.
03:05I don't have that many passes.
03:06Yeah.
03:06But they get to go.
03:08Did you get the feeling that he thought, like, yeah, that's how this goes?
03:10Oh, yeah.
03:10Yes.
03:11Oh, absolutely.
03:12I think he was, like, sashaying into the backstage.
03:15Oh, sashaying.
03:16A man was sashaying.
03:18Yeah.
03:19You know what?
03:20It's good you're not working with him anymore.
03:22You don't need to be around a man sashaying.
03:23No.
03:23A sashaying man is, you can read in all the business books, right, that if your boss,
03:29if a man sashays, you're working with the wrong guy.
03:32And I don't know if he was really sashaying.
03:34It just felt that way in my soul as I was not being let backstage.
03:38Let's go with that, please.
03:39Oh, okay.
03:39Let's go with that.
03:40That really makes it better.
03:40All right.
03:41So there you go.
03:41A man sashaying, not the boss for you.
03:43And good job.
03:45Yeah.
03:45And we're still competing in a way because, obviously, he still works in radio.
03:49I work in radio for a competing station company.
03:53So it's a little just like, like, he sees our ratings.
03:57I know their ratings.
03:58It's just awkward.
04:00Yeah.
04:01I guess it is, especially if you don't know that they're going to be there.
04:04And then it's just, you know, and here's the thing.
04:05It's probably just as awkward for him.
04:07That's the good news, right?
04:08Oh, I think so.
04:09Yeah.
04:09So you got that.
04:10Or it's like, you both were surprised.
04:12It's not like he got the heads up you were there.
04:14Right.
04:15So, and you didn't get the heads up either, though.
04:17No.
04:17Yeah.
04:18Until I, literally, my head, I just lifted it up.
04:20And I was like, oh, man, there's, oh, and we're doing this.
04:23Hi.
04:24We got a text from St. P.
04:25And she said, here's how you do it.
04:27You don't talk.
04:27You just smile.
04:29And I thought about that for a second.
04:30I was like, it's so simple.
04:31It works.
04:33You just look at them and smile.
04:35Yeah, but I hadn't seen him in almost five years or something.
04:38I don't think that's just a smile and ignore type thing.
04:41I think you have to.
04:43There's something about a smile that could go either way, right?
04:46I'm thinking it goes bad.
04:48If an ex-boss smiles at me, I'm like, I don't want to say hi.
04:53All right.
04:54Okay.
04:55So that's my point, though.
04:56So they kind of win, right?
04:58Because it makes you think.
04:59Yeah.
05:00Right?
05:01Because you're like.
05:01Yeah.
05:01It's kind of like saying, don't come up to me.
05:04Right.
05:04This is how we are now.
05:05It's like a Jack Nicholson in The Shining smile is what I'm talking about.
05:09No, that's what you do when you see like an ex-boyfriend in the grocery store or someone
05:13from middle school.
05:14You're like, I know you don't really want to talk to me.
05:16I don't want to talk to you.
05:17Let's just smile.
05:17Who would you rather run in last minute to?
05:19Would you rather run into an ex-boyfriend or an ex-boss?
05:22Ex-boss.
05:23I agree.
05:25Yeah.
05:26Because you can just keep it.
05:27Like you said, you talk about the weather.
05:29Yeah.
05:29Yeah.
05:29Exactly.
05:30Ex-boyfriend, ex-girlfriend, a little bit of baggage.
05:34See, that's why I can't go to the Publix on 38th.
05:36St. Pete is so small.
05:38I swear, I can't go in there.
05:39I just want to run in and pick up some.
05:41Because of exes?
05:42Yes.
05:43So you've got exes.
05:44They like swarm that place.
05:44I don't know.
05:45I mean, you've got exes.
05:46Weird.
05:47Man, there must be some drama.
05:48This is another segment.
05:49You've got exes making you not even want to eat.
05:51Like, that's crazy.
05:51I mean, no, don't worry.
05:52There's no shortage of food.
05:54I go.
05:54Just go somewhere else.
05:56I will find Trader Joe's.
05:57Yes.
05:57Buck, would you rather avoid an ex-boss or an ex-girlfriend?
06:01How about that one ex-boss?
06:04No, I'm totally cool.
06:06So I'd probably avoid a girlfriend.
06:09Whoa.
06:10Yeah.
06:11Stories.
06:12I'd avoid a girlfriend.
06:13You would avoid a girlfriend.
06:14Okay, so you would take the awkward...
06:16Encounter with the ex-boss.
06:17With the ex-boss.
06:18Well, it just happened to me a couple weeks ago.
06:20With the girlfriend?
06:20No.
06:21Oh, yours was at the hockey tournament, right?
06:22Yeah, I ran into my ex-boss who escorted me out of the building.
06:27And...
06:28Not the hockey thing.
06:28With his belongings, yes.
06:29With my belongings in my cardboard box.
06:31At your old job.
06:32At my old job.
06:33I was like, he fired you again at the hockey thing?
06:35No, you're fair.
06:36You know, they're only allowed to fire you once.
06:38He didn't fire me.
06:40He didn't fire me.
06:40We were close friends.
06:41He just told you to get out?
06:43Well, I kind of told him I'm leaving.
06:45Ah.
06:45And I was like, I'll, you know, two weeks notice.
06:49And he's like, no, now.
06:52We'll decide that.
06:54Yeah.
06:54Quick two weeks.
06:55Yeah, but I ran into him.
06:56That's what they tend to do, yeah.
06:57And he looked at me.
06:58And I looked at him.
06:59And there was silence for a minute.
07:01And then he gave me the, I see you, the two fingers at the eyes.
07:05Oh.
07:06And I was like, okay.
07:08That's a little icy.
07:08And then we hugged it out.
07:09It was good.
07:09Oh, and then a hug.
07:10Yeah.
07:11Ooh, that's, ooh, I don't like that.
07:13That's a weird.
07:14Would you rather see an ex or an ex-boss?
07:17Probably an ex-boss.
07:19Yeah.
07:19Yeah.
07:19Because I feel like you can just, you know, do the, do the industry small talk, whatever
07:22it is, you know?
07:23Right?
07:24I don't know.
07:24Yes.
07:25It's just much more awkward when it's an ex-person.
07:27Yeah.
07:27There's so many more personal just things and feelings.
07:30You run into an ex-boss and I'm like, ah, you know, what do you think of a new Carrie
07:32Underwood song?
07:33Yeah, it's great.
07:33Yeah, me too.
07:34Cool.
07:34Have a good day.
07:34You know, it's just kind of, I don't know.
07:36Well, it is good.
07:36I love Southbound.
07:37Oh, it really is awesome, by the way.
07:39It's like his summer.
07:39Yeah, I love it.
07:40See what I did just there?
07:42Yes.
07:42Totally.
07:43How about that new Chris Jansen?
07:45Oh, that's great.
07:45Yeah.
07:46I just, you know, I feel like the world needs good vibes right now.
07:48Agreed.
07:49There you go.
07:49Good to see you again.
07:50Bye.
07:50Bye.
