00:00I've been seeing this girl for a few weeks.
00:02She's great, but I've met some of her family, her mom and her sister, and they have not grown into attractive women.
00:10This girl is super pretty, and she's just 22, and I don't want her to end up like one of them.
00:16Should I leave now while the getting is good or stick it out?
00:20No.
00:21You can't get mad for something that hasn't happened.
00:23Right.
00:23But you do know that that's a window to what's coming.
00:25No, that's not true.
00:26It is.
00:27Not everybody ends up looking like a parent.
00:28Let me tell you, I have seen some fine women grow into their mamas and their grandmamas, and you didn't expect it because they was young.
00:37How old did you say?
00:3822.
00:3922, yeah.
00:40You got that anaconda metabolism.
00:42You just stay in thin.
00:44Everything you eat just sucks it up, but when you're 42 and you got that little pooch, like big mama got, and you see the body start to change up.
00:54And it's fine, but by then you're in love.
00:56By then you got kids.
00:57By then y'all got, you know what I'm saying, you got life together.
01:00So it's not going to stay the same.
01:03Pussycat dolls don't look the same that they looked before.
01:05Destiny's child don't look the same that they looked before.
01:07Beyonce a lot thicker.
01:09Like, you know what I'm saying?
01:09People grow, I'm saying people grow up.
01:11You fall in love with somebody, they get a little chunk.
01:13They grow out.
01:14Yeah, they're going to grow out.
01:15But damn sure, let me tell you, there's everybody out there looks at the mama and looks at the grandma.
01:21Isn't that unfair?
01:22And that is the blueprint.
01:23That's the genes.
01:25But that's what you're, that's kind of what you're looking at.
01:27I am becoming my father.
01:28Yes.
01:29I'm literally becoming my father.
01:31Like, I mean, everybody in my family is like, yo, your daddy spit you out.
01:35Absolutely.
01:36You look at you.
01:37You didn't get that before?
01:38Have you always gotten that?
01:39It was, it was different.
01:40But I'm saying as I'm growing up, I'm becoming my dad.
01:42As women grow, I mean, you don't have to follow your mom's blueprint, but it's a damn good chance you will.
01:48About 75%.
01:49Yeah.
01:50So if you got, your mama got wide birthing hips, guess what's coming?
01:53Wide birthing hips for you.
01:55Could be coming.
01:56It's coming.
01:56Don't worry about it.
01:57They can still work it out.
01:59There's preventative things that you could do to get her that way.
02:03Rhinoplasty.
02:04No, no, no.
02:05I'm not even talking about all that.
02:06If anything, hey, you and your girls start going to the gym together.
02:09Make it a proactive thing.
02:11I'm still fighting the meat, by the way, on here.
02:13This says, Orlando, we from the same place.
02:15I'm from Gary, Indiana.
02:16My name's Eddie, and I ain't never heard of no move your meat.
02:18You lose your feet.
02:19It's move your feet.
02:21It's not.
02:22It's not.
02:22And out of the 813, they said, BS Orlando, Nicole Swishinger is still fine.
02:28Oh, Scherzinger.
02:29Yeah.
02:29All right.
02:29So this comes out of the 941.
02:31It says, my job decided to bring on another tech because we've been overworked and overlooked.
02:37My boss hired his daughter, who just graduated, and my coworker and I had to train her.
02:44Since that initial training, she has not completed any projects.
02:48My coworker has been finishing her work, and this girl hasn't been in the office past 4 p.m.
02:55while we're here until past 5.30.
02:58My coworker wants to say something to our boss.
03:01My vote is keep your mouth shut.
03:03Can you tell us who's right?
03:04Oh, I'll tell you right now, I cannot stand nepotism, especially when it's this kind of stuff.
03:10Because sometimes it ends up working out.
03:12You know, the grandson or whatever ends up getting a good job, and he wants to take over the role of the company, whatever, just as an example.
03:18But when situations like this happen, guess what, mother?
03:20I'm going straight to the boss.
03:22You're done.
03:23I don't care who it is.
03:24And you're going to get fired.
03:25I'm staying late.
03:26I'm doing all your work.
03:26And you're going to get fired on your day off for stealing boxes.
03:29Uh-uh.
03:30No, I don't care.
03:30Then I'll find a new job because I'm not doing two, three people's jobs.
03:33It's not fair, and it's not right.
03:34And I'm going to go ahead and tell.
03:36If your boss is related to the person.
03:38Not my fault.
03:38You decided that.
03:39You gave her the job, and she sucks.
03:41No, I think you.
03:42You're going to go in there and tell him his daughter sucks.
03:43No, I would be way more eloquent than that.
03:46But at the moment, like, she's the worst person ever.
03:48So that's okay.
03:49She's staying late.
03:50She's doing extra work.
03:51And who knows?
03:51It's taking up time on the weekends away from her family.
03:54Hell no.
03:55They said something to her already?
03:58Have they, like, spoke to her about it yet?
04:00Man, they trained her.
04:01They said we trained her, and now she's, like.
04:04There's a grace period there.
04:05There is a little bit.
04:06And you can talk to her.
04:07But if she's not listening at the end of the day, and she doesn't care because Daddy's
04:11taking care of her, I'm not putting up with that.
04:13Yeah, but.
04:13Y'all crazy.
04:14I ain't got nothing to say.
04:14There are higher ups, though.
04:16There's other people other than Daddy.
04:18There's HR.
04:19There's other things that you could go.
04:20You go over your boss's head to HR about his daughter.
04:23Don't do that.
04:23Y'all both trying to lose y'all job.
04:24No, no, no.
04:25I never said HR.
04:26No.
04:27I'm just saying.
04:28You about to tell him she's dumb and stupid, and you're going to go to HR.
04:31I'm saying there are other people.
04:32There are other people that oversee you.
04:35Maybe not the dad.
04:36There's other people.
04:36Wouldn't you want to know if your daughter was hired at Wild and she sucked?
04:41Wouldn't you want to know so she could be better?
04:43Or maybe you were kind of contemplating maybe she shouldn't work here to begin with.
04:47I ain't in charge like that, but I tell you what, we got a building here with Beasley's
04:50name on the side of it, and if anybody with a Beasley name come work with me, I'm going
04:54to be like, they are the best ever.
04:57Man, they killing it.
04:58They in here staying late.
05:00But those are bosses.
05:01You're going to be the guy that's doing the work to find things?
05:04I will lie.
05:04I will lie.
05:05They were like, how are they doing?
05:07Tell me the truth.
05:08Ah, man, I can't find a better person.
05:10I'm saying something.
05:11I'm saying something to her first.
05:12I'm going to give her a chance to kind of-
05:14Improve.
05:15Yeah, to approve, to own up to her job, and if she doesn't.
05:19Somebody just said the same thing.
05:21They said, ride her coattails, because she's going to mess around and move up and be the
05:24next in charge.
05:25Because she's on the fast track.
05:27She in the family.
05:29Befriend her.
05:30Do a little work.
05:31Tell her, hey, girl, I know you've been getting out of here.
05:32Don't worry.
05:33I got you.
05:33So when she move up, bye-bye.
05:35Is that a company you want to work for, though?
05:37Exactly.
05:37A company that hires people through family and then does it-
05:41Holla at me on payday.
05:42Promo people.
05:43Oh, true.
05:44But I'm just saying.
05:45As long as that cash, that check clears, it's good.
05:47I don't care.
05:48Like, I mean, everybody out there, people out there trying to find jobs now, and you're
05:51like, yo, like, I'll find another job.
05:53It ain't that easy.
05:54I know it's not that easy, but also, I'm not trying to be miserable doing somebody else's
05:58work and extra.
05:59Misery ain't got nothing to do with payday.
06:01You can be miserable and get paid, and if she move up, you got it.
06:05I'm just saying, just don't be dumb.
06:06Yeah, the dad deserves to know.
06:07Don't be dumb.
06:08He knew his daughter weren't worth a damn when he hired her.
06:10I mean, there was probably better people in there.
06:12That's nepotism.
06:13That's what you got to deal with.
06:14It sucks.
06:15It ain't great, but it keeps...
06:18I hate stuff like this.
06:19I just can't stand it.
06:20That's the power.
06:21You know, be mad at your parents that they didn't take over the business.
06:24Yeah.
06:25You don't got to work there.
06:26I mean, that's the way I'm taking it.
06:28You don't like it.
06:28Spoken like a youngin.
06:29Spoken like a Gen Zer.
06:30Yeah, exactly.
06:32Y'all think y'all just got options.
06:33Y'all just got...
06:34I'm not going to be doing somebody else's work and be getting paid less.
06:37Whatever.
06:38Come on, man.
06:39That's what's wrong with the world now, Orlando.
06:41You're damn right it is.
06:42But we ain't got no choice.
06:43I'm talking.
06:44I'm telling.
06:45At least after a while, you got a grace period.
06:48I mean, you're a dumbass.
06:49You don't deserve to run the company eventually anyway.
06:51Rosemary says, the new guy is right, Orlando.
06:54You have to speak to her and then do what Meredith says.
06:57People that have power and agency over you depend on you being fearful of them.
07:03And the dad would probably...
07:05I'd want to know.
07:06I'd want to know because I'd want to help out my daughter because I really believed in her.
07:09But maybe she just doesn't like her job.
07:11Orlando, wipe that brown off your nose.
07:13I'm going to wipe it off with my paycheck, Pippen.
07:17That's right.
