[water splashes]

I'm not going to pour it over.

Within the next hour, I just have some final touches that I need to put on it.

Yes?

I fanced the dishes.

You did, that's a good boy.

You get five points for that.

I get five points?

Can I use my points however I like?

Yes, you can use them however you like.

Mommy's on a call right now, so you can go ahead and redeem five right now.

That's what you want to do.

What do you want me to do?

I have to check the contingencies on that.

What are you working on?

I'm working on work.

I'm trying to make a living here for us.

I'm so sorry.

I just started this thing with my son.

We're doing a point system.

I'm working from home all the time now, and I'm so busy.

I don't have time to do the housework.

I just want to get him something to do.

I gave him this point system.

He does the dishes.

He gets five points, and then he can redeem them for things like video games, bubble gum.

I hate bubble gum.

Yes, you should try it with your son too for sure.

It helps a lot.

My house has never been so clean.

I get more work done.

More work done equals more money.

Happy boss, it's great.

Can you send the invoice from Robert over to me?

Jack is asking for that.

Sorry.

Jack, let me get that one for you.

Sorry, it's my son again.

He's playing what do you call it?

My gun video game that he's working on.

What are you talking about?

You need the password.

The password for the TPS reports is harp tree.

H-A-R-P-T-R-E-E, and then there is an @ symbol at the end of those.

That's our Wi-Fi password.

You use the same password?

Yeah.

I don't think that's good, mom.

Okay, I guess I should change the password.

I do use the same password for everything.

Don't tell her that.

Oh, shit!

Yeah, I'm gonna have to get on changing all of my passwords now.

Oh, I know I can trust.

I know, but still, he is right.

My son is, he is right.

So, I would change the passwords.

You said Nancy was a gossip.

That is not what he just said.

Actually, he didn't say anything.

That was from the video game he's playing right now.

Yeah, yeah, he, mm-mm.

Actually, I think he's about to start coloring.

He's not a very good color, though.

It's kind of sloppy, but with his artwork, but that is what it is.

What are you talking about, me?

I think I said he had work to do.

Well, we're doing, I am, I'm actively on the computer and working.

I'm so sorry, my son is being so rude.

I'm working, honey.

I'm working.

Okay, keep working.

All right.

Yeah, so...

So, yeah, I'm working on hiring a new social media marketer.

Oops.

I do social media marketer.

You want to do social media?

Is that okay?

Honey, I'll talk about boobs and stuff when I'm social media.

Yeah, but that's, you can get banned from social media from the, I'm so sorry.

I apologize, Nancy.

Yeah, he should not have just said that.

That was really rude of him.

I didn't know she could hear me.

She can hear it.

Yeah, she could.

She's actually getting really annoyed, and I'm starting to worry that I'm going to lose my job.

Okay, okay.

I would love it.

I would really like it, honey, if you would...

I'll just zip it.

Okay.

Okay.

I'll just...

All right.

You stupid shit thing.

Well, sorry, mom.

Don't you tell mama what to do.

Okay.

I'll be here.

All right, man.

I've got a couple more points.

Okay, Nancy.

He's gonna go ahead and redeem the rest of you.

He's gonna stay busy here redeeming the rest of his points.

So, can you wire Jack from the business account?

Can you wire him $350,000?

He asked for it.

I know it does seem like a lot of money, and it's really odd that he would ask for $350,000.

But that's how much he wants.

He said in order to start, the new website and to pay the social... a new social media

marketer.

Yeah.

Well, things are starting to look upward from here.

Definitely.

Yeah.

We definitely need to start doing things for people's birthdays.

I agree with that.

Well we do have a good relationship with Gabrielle over at the flower shop on 6th and 7th st.

Yeah so right there in the corner, 6th and 7th, yeah.

Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep.

Shh, sorry he's playing a race car game now.

It's Morse code.

Morse code game, I'm, okay, sorry Nance, sorry.

Oh you did, you wired that money right now.

Thank you Nancy, yeah.

How, don't ask me math questions.

Yeah, when it comes to math I would suggest just typing that into Google.

I'm good at math, you want me to help mom?

What's the square root of 359?

He doesn't know, yeah.

He's not going to work for this company.

I don't think I should have family in the same business as me.

I don't think that really would work out good.

What?

Nothing.

Okay.

Alright, oh god, there's so many, so many things that this list that I have is massive.

He is out of control, this boss is freaking crazy.

But you know what, why I'm here?

I'm here for the money.

I want to take a nice vacation this summer.

Where should we go?

Honey, I'm gonna leave you here, okay?

I need a break, okay?

I'm gonna go someplace by myself, I'm gonna have a spa day.

I'm gonna lay out on the beach and have a pina colada.

This is not for you.

There won't be video games there, trust me, you do not want to come.

Sorry, Nance.

Alright, now, can you scroll down on that report to number 336?

Can you look at that line for me?

Yeah?

Doesn't it seem a little off?

There's something missing in the numbers here.

No, I do not recall.

I do not recall.

Actually, I don't think I was even there at that meeting.

Yeah, I think they hired me on after that happened.

Yeah, because I remember back in April, like, I was free as a bird.

I was, you know, taking care of everything around the house by myself.

Yeah, now I can't do any of that.

No free time.

Mm-mm, mm-mm, none of us.

It's crazy.

You know, that's why I'm so lucky to have the sun that I have, that he, you know,

and this point system that we got down.

Yeah, it's just, oh, it's just been a game changer.

Yeah.

Can you hang out for just one second?

But like, I just want to...

Okay, I'm back.

Yeah.

A movie night at the office? That sounds great.

Yeah.

Okay, Mom, I'm gonna do some more dishes.

I feel like I used all my points now.

I did.

Yeah, go ahead and clean some more, okay?

Okay.

All right.

Okay.

You sure you don't need help with this?

I'm good.

Honey, that's my job, stop.

I just, I just...

Sweetie Pie?

Yeah.

Sugar Bunches?

Yeah.

Honey Bunches of Oats?

Yeah.

Go do, go find, go find...

I can help though.

You, you can not help.

Okay, Nancy, Nancy.

I'm so sorry.

Okay, okay.

I'm just, she's gonna, I'm gonna get fucking fired.

No you're not, I'm helping.

You're not helping.

You're making things worse, and I need to get my fucking work done.

Jeez.

Jeez yourself.

Go play, go play with a football or something.

Okay, I will.

I will.

Okay, Nancy.

I know you're stressed about it, Jack.

I know.

I'm stressed about it just as much as you are.

But I didn't have a conversation with Nancy.

And we, we're hoping that when the stock market opens on Monday, we will see a major difference.

I know they went down.

I think honestly, I think a lot of our, a lot of our people, you know, with the lovers of our shoes.

I think a lot of them recently have been going more for comfort.

I mean, yeah, uh huh, I, I, I know heels make the legs.

I look at, I'm wearing them right now, I'm wearing it right now.

I got, I got the pump, Son, Jack.

I'm trying to support the company myself.

But the way that the world is going and what women want are different than--

Mom?

Are you crazy?

Who are you talking to?

I'm talking to Jack, honey.

Just be quiet.

Oh, you're on a good call on the thing.

It's my son, yeah.

It's a Zoom call, honey.

Okay.

Yes, be quiet.

Do we have a moment?

Can you hold on?

Jack, I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

What?

I just want to tell you, I did the dishes, took out the garbage.

I chased out the possum that was hiding the corner of the shack.

I also, I cleaned the bathrooms.

I cleaned the shower.

You did that.

Then I also swept the floor, I swept the front yard, the backyard.

And then I also swept the floor, I vacuumed the den and stuff like that.

Honey?

What?

You get 50 points.

Congratulations.

Cool.

Can I?

Breeding however the fuck you want.

I don't care.

I have to--

Mom, language.

Jack.

Honey, I'm so sorry.

Okay.

I was right.

My language.

Sorry.

Yes, Jack.

I know, I have to be professional.

I'm going to be professional.

Shoes.

Shoes.

As I was saying, comfort.

We need to be... women want to be comfortable now.

We want to wear flat shoes.

How would you like to walk around in heels all day long?

You know?

You know what I'm saying?

Like, we don't...

It hurts.

It's bad for our bodies.

It's a honey.

Oh, well.

No, it's still on.

I just refreshed it for you.

Yes, Jack.

He's so much... he's clear now.

I see him.

Great.

Please do not touch the computer, honey.

Okay.

Redeem your points.

Redeem them.

Do whatever you want.

You want me to leave you alone?

I want you to leave me alone.

I also want you to redeem your points.

Okay.

You just do that and mommy's going to focus.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

No, do that.

I'm just going to leave you alone.

I'm just going to leave you alone.

I'm going to leave you alone.

Okay.

I'm just going to leave you alone.

I'm just going to leave you alone.

I'm just going to leave you alone.

I'm just going to leave you alone.

Okay.

What I'm saying is that you don't know what it's like to have this...

Okay.

Sorry, Jack.

Yeah.

Nobody.

Just...

I said peer...

I said peer, Jack.

Okay.

Yeah.

So, what I am suggesting, and a lot of the other women in the company can talk to them about this, too, we think that it might be a good idea if we make a tennis shoe.

Yeah.

Just like, because honestly, our feet are sore, our toes get scrunched, like, and you take our shoes off and our feet look like an arrow.

Toys are...not toys, but toes. The toes are just pointed in like an arrow, and it's not a pretty thing. It's not very nice.

So, yeah.

So, we're going to make a sneaker.

Sneaker, right?

Sneakers can be sexy.

We are just, we are going to do that, yes.

So, there's no reason to be distracted. I'm just getting my head pet right now.

He's just redeeming his points. Don't worry about this, Jack.

Yeah.

Uh-huh.

So, I personally like foam in the shelves.

Mm-hmm.

It feels more comfortable.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

I'm listening.

Mm-hmm.

Now what we're going to do is a lot of people are full of foam.

They're not the kind of like, leased all the way out.

What you can cut a moment, right?

Mm-hmm.

But, really, I feel it.

You really want to get back to that.

Mm-hmm.

Uh-huh.

Well, be sexy.

Yeah.

Don't even, I think Jack, I honestly, I think you're overthinking it.

And you hired me to give you a different perspective on things.

So, I just want to help you see things a little bit differently.

You, I know, I know that, just try it for the next quarter.

Okay, the next quarter. We're going to try this.

If you do not see an increase in sales,

and our stocks continue to decline,

then we'll go back to the uncomfortable heels that you think are so sexy.

No?

Okay.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

I'm listening.

Mm-hmm.

- Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Well, honestly, make it all about comfort.

Hi boss man

Oh, sorry. Sorry. Sorry to interrupt

I see, um, so oh thank you. You're welcome

Mom, is there anything else I can get you? No, we're very busy. So okay

That would be all you can go you can go play. Okay. Can I use my points right now?

That's right. Yeah, that's he brings he's play I give him points to

Oh, that's for me. So

Use your points but but stay quiet because we have we have work to do

Okay, okay. Yeah, so just don't don't mind him. He's just gonna redeem his points and we will get this get all this done

I'm just a little confused. Uh first off, what a nice show man you have

Thank you. Thank you so much

so

Tell me more about this point system

okay, so

When I started working for you, I got very very busy and um, so

You're welcome. So, um

You know, I things we're not getting done around the house

My son was bored

So I developed the system where when he does chores like dishes or laundry

or sweeps the floors

He gets points when everything is completed

And then he gets to redeem his points for for things that he likes and things that he wants, you know

Typical things like, you know, what the thing's boys like. Yeah, no. Yeah

That's wonderful. Uh, wow

So so what are you saying is it actually increases productivity? Absolutely. Yes

Yeah, yeah, it makes it he's he's always very motivated. He gets an incentive

Yes, I get you know what you know so much. I mean everything from uh from productivity to uh, so the human resources are back

Yeah, pretty much knowing all you did it all covered. Don't you? Yes. Yeah, that's what I I got my college degree

I've worked in a lot of different fields, but I like

To take whatever I learned from one job and apply it to the next and you know, I just really feel like this company

You know, it's a great company. I see so much potential here. I'm glad you feel that way. I'm glad you've been such a great addition

Uh, to our company

And I can see why I says as looks through your work right now. Give me one second. I'm gonna go to this

Well, how did you send me? Yeah

I really like some of these change we did

Good, yeah, I thought that you would like them. Yeah, because our overhead cost for this particular line right here was

It was how much of money for quite a while

Does my mom do a good job at work? Oh your mom's incredible. Wow, let him focus. Okay. What I'm focusing. Oh, it's it's okay

No, your mom has been a huge huge help, um, around the office

For sure. Hmm. And I'm just trying to

Mm-hmm. I'm fluffy

I'll miss you

I'll miss it a long time long

So, I'm wondering

Mm-hmm

Yeah

Oh my gosh, I

I could really use arrays honestly

So that would be great

Oh, you know, I had to this with my point system. I had this idea

Okay

We could adapt this

Into the workplace. It might motivate

all of the employees

To and then you give them points and they can redeem their points for you know, like shoes and one fantastic idea

You know, I I I sit here looking at this, you know, how well you

This is working out for you. I can't yeah, that would be a great idea

Hmm. Maybe just to implement that simple little point system, but what will be our leverage, huh? Well, I think max

You can get a ham plan

a lot

You can get a ham plan

A ham plan plan

I see and that's that that would incentivize them to to work hard, but I mean, look

So

Like like a husband one point system or five. Well, I mean how do you usually we do five points over here at the house

Honey, no, sorry. Yes, we do five points. That's what we do

And then usually once he hits 50 points, he wants to start redeeming that

Okay. The cash register. What would be what would be our

Rejection what would we get? Okay, so once you hit five points if you wanted to redeem say five points

Give them a free pair of shoes

Oh, okay, something very simple because you know, no it it costs you

A minimal amount of money to make a shoe, right? So so you're not losing a whole a whole bunch

Okay, yeah, no one like like so what would like 10 points get you maybe like a

Vacation day or something. Oh my god

I would love that. Yes 10 points. You can take a day off

Mm-hmm. Oh, that would that would

That would be nice that people take a three-day weekend if they it did brought up their uh, their numbers

I figured it out. It took me some time like there was some chaos

for a little bit and then um

And then yeah

Okay, so what about the something

What about some of the employees that may not be motivated by day off of work? What about um?

Well, the employees are maybe motivated more by money. Yeah, that's oh, yeah, so so

I was just thinking about that

Okay

I am honestly one of those people who is motivated by money. Okay, right. So what I'm thinking

Well, what I'd like to propose is that if an employee gets

100 points

They can redeem that

For a 10% raise

Yeah, check those numbers. Um, I hope you like that idea but if not, um, I think it's something else

You said 100 points through fact that in this 10 percent, uh, salary raise, um

Yeah, that's still that's still is the company a pretty significant profit margin

Yeah, I don't know what to do. See still the company can afford it. I'm loving these ideas. Um, they're it's genius. Yeah, right

Pure genius really is

Okay, uh, take a look

You know

Every so like every sale every single sale an employee gets they get five points every sale every sale. Oh

Every sale every close. But that's gonna encourage you to sell more, you know

So every sale or every, uh, every company

Whoa, so it's gonna be every closed sale like every time you close you get the you got you. Okay. Okay. Yeah making sure

So I wouldn't want you know money to be out there. Oh, and then people are getting paid based on money

That's that we haven't received yet, right?

I could get our account

I know we don't want that. No, we do not

Make sure everything stays

Copesthetic as far as that goes. Yeah, what if we got really what if we what if we went crazy?

What if we went crazy and let the employees accumulate their points until they get like some math

Like what like what would happen if somebody saved up their points to 200%

Do you think they could or 200 points? Do you think that they could redeem that for a 20% raise?

Uh, you know

Again, we would have to talk to a common first. I would I would think there's something to spiral out of control

um, but but it seems

It's that it would make sense

I mean, it seems doable. I think that would be

If that was doable that is

Oh, the sales would really go up

Let's think this out. Okay. So as an example, I mean

Would have to put some sort of a cap on some sort of limit. I wouldn't want

The potentials say say for example somewhere to to accumulate these points and they weren't catching with it

I wouldn't want it to get to a point where after a few years

collectively that they they

They might have like an overwhelming

Well, yeah, we wouldn't be able to compensate them. Honestly, I just had to run that by you because I'm a type of person

Who would save up my points? That's what I'm saying. And then I would get like a

3000% raise. Right. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, let me think. This one has

Has a tenure and this would be uh, you know, right. Yeah, I wouldn't want to be able to retire

Yeah, point system alone, but but no, we do need to motivate the sales here in this company

Yeah

Well, why don't we just put a cap on it to begin? Why don't we just say it has to be

100 points like yeah, you get 100 points the max that you can redeem is 100 for a temperature stop raise

Okay

And you can only redeem that say

Once a year once it once every two years, so it doesn't get so it doesn't get out of control. Mm-hmm. Yep. Yep, that sounds

Yeah

But maybe you could redeem yeah, like they hate like what if

You know, if somebody accumulated, oh gosh, we really need to punch them some numbers crunch them

you know, you know what I mean because we could send somebody on some

Tropical vacation because that's what you need a borough borough for a week. Can we go to Jamaica?

I mean, could we jack could we go to to Jamaica? You know what? I mean, we I don't see why we couldn't we we do have the count. Um

The company travel agent. Um, I could see if I could work some sort of a deal with them. This is great handling airline tickets for

Yeah

Overseas meetings, but we could work something out for sure and you know what else I think

What?

Now this wouldn't uh as far as the vacation days, you know a lot of vacation days in the nation

It wouldn't affect their sick days or their their personal days. This would be totally set just vacation right?

Could you I mean

Yeah, it's my mom get a raise for this idea

You know what son? I think she might because she's uh, she's really been a valuable asset

Yay

You guys might get that

Vacation in Jamaica you just asked before

Oh, we could really use that for sure. I know I know I said earlier. You couldn't come on vacation with me

But now you can son

She didn't want to take me on vacation

Yeah, he asked if he could come on vacation with me and I said no

I got you know, I want to have a pina colada by myself, but now I will have a pina colada

Nice, that's nice. You two can spend some time with each other. It looks like you uh, yeah, we're very close. Yeah, it looks like you need it

There's no nothing more important than a bond between uh boy and his mother, right? Exactly

Yeah

I have a question. I'm studying business in this point system. How would future inflation affect the point system?

Or would it at all?

Because it would affect sales inflation affect sales though, right? I mean, yeah, yeah

I mean, unfortunately at times we're living in a record high inflation is killing us

That is something we always have to factor into

into account

but I still I think even with the uh the current state

I think we could still work these deals. I think we can still add this incentive program. I think we really benefit our company

It's all cause and effect. I suppose right right end of the day

But if we're delivering a quality product for a uh a competitive price, yeah

Yeah, and we'll we'll keep our marketing at 20%

The cost so let's just keep numbers where we need them I think yeah

This is great. I'm really I'm really glad that we're having this meeting. I'm just glad I stopped by today

I didn't think it was gonna be this productive be honest usually you didn't well usually when I do these uh meetings at homes they're

Yeah, they're not as productive

I'm not bothering you guys am I no no no actually you're being a really good boy

I'm gonna give you points for being a good boy. I was gonna say I think uh, I

If I didn't see this point system, uh

An action I probably wouldn't have given it too much consideration to be honest, but but I can see it's clearly producing results. So

I wish uh, I wish my son would do more around the house

You got it. You've got to do the point system. You got to do it. I you have to I do yes

I'm a single dad. I don't know for being quite the same. I don't know. I don't know

But you know some sort of a initiative would be uh, would be good

I don't have to look into this. I want to give this some thoughts see what I can come up with. Right

I mean, you're a really smart guy like a business guy. So I know you're inexpensive. I'm thinking about it

You'll talk to accounting and and we will make the best decision for the company. Oh, yeah

Yeah, well, that's just referring to uh, maybe even using this point system. My son's some sort of initiative. Oh, yeah that that thing, um

initiate motivation for him to

Do something about the house

And then like what is he into?

What are they all into the video game? Yeah social media and uh, you should make him earn like his

You know, he needs to earn points and he'll get data data

That's actually not a bad idea. Yeah

Um, yeah the internet is their lifeline, isn't it? Right?

This one last time, oh yeah

Take a look at these files

So one of your projections by the end of the year we I mean as far as sales go do you

I bet we could get up to like 20 bill

20 bill in sales I that would be that would be a 40 increase. Yeah last year. I miss it. It's quite a bit

I think we have that much potential. Yeah

We're gonna make 20 20 billion dollars within the next year and

That is a five billion dollar increase from where you were at last year

And the year before that you didn't have any change

Well, you know, they they say the first few years and these these businesses don't expect to make

A big profit. I think the hardest part of the business nowadays is trying to survive the first few years

But um, you're doing such a good job. You have come so far. Well, you know the

With the recent uh recent pandemic that we just got done with I know everything's old ballgame is changed

Because leaving that house like they used to everyone's buying everything online and just

You know, uh, we had a shut down all our brick and mortar locations

I know because everybody's on the online thing nowadays. Yeah, I mean even though the pandemic is over people still feel like they can't leave the house

Yeah, but hey, you know, I'm gonna complain. Yeah

All the online businesses is definitely made a profit huge killings, right?

It's by design

Do you guys make your shoes here or overseas

Um, oh shina that's that shina. Uh, sometimes sometimes

Um, we've been work. We've been talking about doing more of the american made stuff. Um, it's gonna cost a little bit more, but uh,

yeah, I mean it's that's that's the I mean

Child slavery labor is more profitable

As a whole but it's it's down upon now for some reason unless it's cold oh mine or

People use slave labor for lippian mines, but not for shoes, right? It's ridiculous. That's the silliest thing. I mean

You need to see all the automobile industries are all going down the south of the border right now. Yeah, they're going to mexico

Yeah, yeah, you know

Yeah, it's all that I probably know get that profit. Yeah, so nobody's trying to bring it but interesting point. Yeah

I should keep our manufacturing only seat for now.

- Mm-hmm.

- I mean just until everything seems to work out

as it starts, it's a hand down to go.

- Right.

- Oh, for a while.

- God forbid there's another one.

- Oh, I hope not, could you imagine?

- I just can't, you know.

- I just threw out all the maps that we had,

I was like we're never gonna use these again.

- I'll have to go back in time.

I just invested stock of those damn maps.

- Why?

- That's just crazy.

- Well those people who are selling masks,

they're probably separate.

- Yeah, you know it too.

I mean that's just--

- Wait, did you always use to sell shoes?

Wait, did you make the shoes here at one point, or?

- Well, like a couple of years ago.

- Well the original manufacturers,

the original designs to shoes were made here,

so it was made for American designers, but then as the

process moves forward, you find cheaper alternatives

to the producer product, and that's kind of how

things are able to see.

And you know, sometimes you get to pay a little bit of a tax

on it, export tax, but it can be worth it still.

- Well mom, did you show the idea about your shoe

with the flat instead of heels?

- Yeah, I mentioned that yesterday

when we were talking about the Zoom.

- Like we just, we sell so many heels, and I just feel

like living nowadays, per-per-comfort over

wearing uncomfortable high heels.

Did you get that some thought, what do you think?

- I do, I typically, when you do that, when you make that

kind of a move, you're redirecting your market.

You see what I mean?

Younger women like the heels, they accentuate still legs.

- Yeah.

- That type of thing, they're trying to sell sex, you know,

they're trying to sell trackness.

- Yeah.

- So as a woman gets a little lean on her 20s,

you wear a 30s, comfort seems to be more of a pain to them.

So you would be changing, you would be shifting markets.

But I definitely think there's a market for

comfortable shoes that are still attractive.

- Right, like we'll work with the design, color,

but I just think it's better, especially women, you know,

women are, we're getting older.

We still want to, you know, we look good.

- Yeah, but you don't want to be wearing six inch,

still out of here, you know, I understand.

- Yeah, for sure.

It means it's definitely something to consider.

And I think it could probably be a good idea, to be honest.

- I'm so glad to hear that.

- So now would it be like a two inch heel or just

completely flat?

- Completely flat.

With a little foam insert.

- Yeah.

- It's just like we're walking on clouds.

- A comfortable shoe.

- Comfortable feet, yes.

- Do you ever think men's heel will ever be a thing?

I heard they word heels back in like roman times

or something, is that true?

- I don't think it's gonna be 1800s.

- You know what, it's a crazy world we live in.

Stranger things are happening, son.

Yeah, I think that maybe something.

- It's gonna be something.

- Get ahead of the curve, right?

- Yeah, I mean, there's local swim suit companies

coming out right now, they're remarketing there,

it's completely, the pole bathing suit industry's changed.

Have you seen that?

- Oh my gosh, I haven't really looked into that lately.

- Oh, they have things that help tuck the male genitalia away

so they can tuck them into a woman's bikini.

That's a little bit of him.

- Oh, thank you.

- Yeah, it's a very different time.

So a man's heel, you know?

Your son is full of great ideas.

- It is, I'm surprised at you.

- Wouldn't be for every man.

- It might be just time for you to get a job.

- Job?

- Hey, maybe, maybe.

Maybe we could find a spot for him in a company some ways.

He's a really hard worker, he's full of good ideas.

We could start off at an entry level position.

- Start at minimum wage or?

- Well, I don't think maybe an internship,

probably be more or less what we would go for.

But 'cause you're young, you start now, college.

- What's an internship?

- An internship doesn't really pay, per se.

But it comes with experience,

and that way you are prepared to go into the work field.

They are on an economic use as a reference.

Or we hire from within, typically, with our interns.

So the potentials, you have a good paying job

is definitely there.

But everyone starts to ground up.

I climbed a corporate ladder myself.

- Yeah, and I just got in this position

because I have so much experience.

- Is it 'cause you went to college, mom?

- Yes.

- Oh.

- And that's something that you need to do,

so you're just gonna go.

- Yeah, the best thing you can do is go get yourself

a hundred thousand dollars worth of debt,

and claw your way on for the next decade.

That's typically how we adults do it.

It just makes sense.

- Absolutely, okay.

- And you're learning responsibility right now.

- I am. - Yeah.

- All right, sorry to interrupt your meeting.

- No, no, no, no.

Hey, any time I can offer financial advice

to someone younger, I definitely like to do that.

- That's great, I love that.

- Yeah, the best thing you can do is just

apply for credit cards when you're your age,

and get as much college education as you can.

- Oh, apply for credit cards,

be careful with that, honey,

because you gotta pay those bills.

- Yeah, but you know what, they make it so easy nowadays.

You just pay the minimum payment,

and it's almost like you're not paying them at all.

As far as those shoes, those flats you were talking about.

- Yes, comfy shoes. - Do you have a good,

about a famous shoe salesman named Al Bundy, Mr....

- Oh, six touchdowns in one game.

We've all heard of a legend.

- He's married to Peggy, right?

- Did he used to work with you guys?

- No, no, no, unfortunately.

We didn't have that salesman in our store,

and if we did, I'm sure we would've been

the top shoe company in that time.

- Okay, all right, I'll stop interrupting, sorry.

- No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

- We're gonna try to wrap up this meeting, okay?

All right, so, you know, which, how about...

- Do you have designer behind you, if that's what?

- Yeah, actually, I love this designer

by the name of Ziggy, Ziggy...

- Star? - Ziggy Star.

- That's okay. - Thank you.

You have heard of her, yes.

I think that we should, I'll actually call her tomorrow

when I get to the office.

- Do you have a contact information?

- I do, yes. - Okay, please.

- All right, well, let's do, if you can contact her,

and just have her draw up a couple of different ideas

so I can get a visual.

- Yeah, I'll do that.

I think she would love this opportunity too.

- Yeah, I mean, let's see.

As this goes well, it can be a very profitable one.

- Yeah, it's gonna be a great one.

- Plus, there's a good way to get her name out there,

and that's as a household brand.

- Mm-hmm.

- You know, you can get her, get this product

in some of the, in some of the partners stores

that were still in business. - Yeah.

- Before they go the way of the dodo bird.

- Mm-hmm. - Mm-hmm.

- Hopefully all these, hopefully all these new woke ideas

that are coming up will generate some money.

(laughs)

- Yes, I really think that it will.

I think we need to be pretty happy.

I think we'll start seeing results within the next month.

- People seem to love it.

I mean, especially this pride month that's coming up.

I mean, maybe we can do some sort of a pride film

where people, - Yes.

- Make some sort of a rainbow color shoe

or something like that, and then we'd be selling.

- I think that is a great idea.

- Hey, Mama, I have to finish real quick.

- Okay. - Just come down here.

- Okay.

- Sorry, it's gonna take a second, sir.

(groans)

(sighs)

- Jeez.

- Well, sorry to interrupt you guys' meeting and stuff.

I just, you know, my mom has to do the points

and stuff like that. - Yeah.

- Oh, no worries.

I don't know.

Trouble at all. - Yeah.

- Thanks again for showing us this point system.

- Yeah, so we're-- - We're gonna implement

this right away. - Mm-hmm.

- So, please, no, we don't, we should hesitate.

- Well, I'm in.

Sorry to interrupt.

Let me get more points now, mom, okay?

- Okay.

Thank you, honey.

(whooshing)
