00:00Jeff, let's circle back and touch base on that thing that's in the pipeline so we can move the needle
00:04and hit this one really out of the park.
00:07Sounds like a really obnoxious email.
00:11You're right.
00:11When you work in an office, though, you might have heard those phrases.
00:15Hopefully not all in the same sentence.
00:17Right.
00:17You touch base, you circle back, something like that.
00:20But it turns out that Gen Zers don't know what a lot of these terms mean.
00:26Right.
00:27It's not something that you learn in school.
00:29So, Shan, are you Gen Z?
00:32You know, I call myself a zillennial because I was born the year that it changes from millennial to Gen
00:38Z.
00:39Wow.
00:40So I'm like youngest millennial and like elder Gen Z.
00:43Got it.
00:44Okay.
00:44All right.
00:44Well, we're going to see how well you do because I think that Jeff and Donnie and I kind of
00:48understand these terms.
00:51I don't know, but speak up if you don't.
00:52So something's in the pipeline.
00:55Oh, like in the works?
00:57Yeah.
00:57Right.
00:57Like if we're done being planned or whatever, it's just not ready yet.
01:01Well done.
01:01If we're going to touch base on something.
01:04Like we'll talk about that soon, kind of like.
01:07Yeah.
01:07Okay.
01:08We'll talk about that.
01:09Exactly.
01:10What if you put something on the back burner?
01:14We'll leave that off for now and we'll worry about it later.
01:17See, you're doing great on this.
01:20You're crushing it, Shan.
01:21I'm trying to use context clues here.
01:23Right.
01:23More than half of Gen Zers didn't know what that one meant.
01:27Yeah.
01:28How about hit the ground running?
01:30We're just going to go for it.
01:32Yes.
01:33Right?
01:34We're going to kick this thing off like full steam ahead.
01:36Let's go.
01:37Um, let's take this offline.
01:41Oh, um, I mean, right now I can only think about that in the literal sense where it's
01:46like, we got to get that page down now.
01:49Like, you know what I mean?
01:50Like, with the internet, like, you know, on social media.
01:53When Johnny posted those photos he wasn't supposed to post.
01:55Delete them.
01:56Get them offline.
01:57I mean, yes, but no.
01:59Generally speaking, in an office setting, that usually means we need to have, like, a private
02:04conversation where not everybody is listening to us.
02:06Right.
02:07We're going to take that offline.
02:08And I use it from time to time when we have a meeting and you want to talk to one
02:12person
02:12specifically, that it might not be specific to the rest of the group.
02:16Like, I say it to Donnie all the time.
02:17When you two girls are in the room, I'm like, Donnie, let's take this offline.
02:20Mm-hmm.
02:21Right.
02:21Because it's probably going to be a boy-boy conversation.
02:24You know, nobody, no girls need to hear what we talk about.
02:27Okay.
02:28And then how about move the needle?
02:31Hmm.
02:32I have never really heard somebody, like, use this, like, out loud.
02:37I've only, maybe.
02:38Does it have anything to do with palm levels?
02:40I'm not sure.
02:42Yeah.
02:42As a matter of fact, I guess it could.
02:44Because you're trying to make a noticeable difference or have a significant impact.
02:48Let's really move the needle.
02:49You know, it's like, okay, because we all work in radio, you should understand what
02:54that is, right?
02:55Because it's the, it's like the UV meter.
02:57Right.
02:58When, when it's going really hard, you're really moving the needle.
03:02Right.
03:03Yeah.
03:03Increasing the cume, if you will.
03:05Yeah, totally with you.
03:06What is going on?
03:07Drop the mic.
03:07That's it, according to Andy.
03:09That's it.
03:09That's it.
03:09That's it.
03:10That's it.
03:10That's it.
03:10That's it.
03:10That's it.
03:11That's it.
03:11That's it.
03:11That's it.
