Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Speaker A: If you ever left work and immediately had to text somebody like, yo, you're not going to believe this. This podcast is for you.
Welcome to Work Drama, the podcast where we unpack workplace stories people whisper about trauma, bond over and still think about years later.
I'm Lizbeth. I come from the medical world, so I'm here to bring context, logic, and the questions people should have asked before someone hit reply all.
I left my in person job for remote work and realized something real quick. I don't miss the commute, but I definitely miss the drama. So we fixed that. Shayra may be out of the office today, but don't worry, I brought in a special guest to help unpack today's mess. With a fresh perspective, we'll be breaking down anonymized stories from offices, hospitals, and everywhere in between. Calling out the nonsense, reacting in real time, and figuring out if something was actually toxic or just wildly mishandled.
Names changed, jobs protected, opinions very much included. And for legality purposes. This is not legal advice. All right, work bestie, let's get into it.
Imagine being in the middle of an important meeting and suddenly your Internet drops. Okay, annoying. That happens sometimes, right? But imagine it happening for months and the person sabotaging your Internet is sitting five feet away from you. And the worst part, occasionally he's doing it from home.
Hey, work besties. Welcome back to the workplace group chat. Today, Sharon is out of the office, but it's okay because we have a special guest today. I'm really excited to bring her on and I'll tell you a little bit about her, but I do want to prepare you guys, right? Sharon is still in the trenches at her job. She's still working day to day. She has little ones at home, all the things. So every now and then, when she can't make it to the office, we're going to be having guest speakers and we will align the stories with their careers. So this will be us dipping into our first guest. Oh, man, I'm just so excited for you to be on this pod. All right, so our first guest ever I worked work drama pod. As if we've been ever.
We've been here forever.
Is my daughter, Kayleigh.
[00:02:10] Speaker B: Hello.
[00:02:11] Speaker A: I'm so excited for you to be here, Kaylee.
[00:02:13] Speaker B: I'm excited to be here as well.
[00:02:16] Speaker A: Briefly, quickly introduce your very short career in the work field. So Kayleigh is 19 years old and
[00:02:26] Speaker B: she still young and fresh.
[00:02:27] Speaker A: Yes, still young and fresh. Just hasn't been pummeled enough yet in the work field. I don't think. But Kaylee is a teller at a financial institution. She's also a freelance filmmaker and a full time college student as a communication, film and theater major, which.
[00:02:45] Speaker B: You did it.
[00:02:45] Speaker A: I did it. I am so proud of you, though, Kaylee. Like. Like at 19.
When I was 19.
You were 1. You were 1. Actually, you were born a week before I turned 19. So you are already doing way more and accomplishing way more than I did at your age. So I'm really proud of you.
[00:03:04] Speaker B: And I'm not pregnant.
[00:03:04] Speaker A: Yeah. Thank God. Thank goodness. Thank you. I'm not ready to be a grandma.
But you have so much on your plate right now, too. It's like there's no time for any of that.
I hope that's me speaking as a mom.
[00:03:16] Speaker B: Well, I don't have a boyfriend, so you're right. There's no time for that.
[00:03:20] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, I'm really proud of you. I'm glad that you are able to come on this podcast because you do have a job and you are doing really well. I mean, you have two jobs. Ish. And work. I mean, in school. So you're doing a lot. And so I kind of want to know, how has work drama shown up in your life thus far?
[00:03:43] Speaker B: Well, when I worked at a childcare facility, there were a lot of strange parents.
[00:03:52] Speaker A: It's the parents. I could see that. Not the kids.
[00:03:56] Speaker B: Sometimes it can be the kids. Sometimes the kids are a little bratty.
Like, they don't want to give you things. They don't like sharing. They like using.
They don't like using their hands for good things. And by that, I mean pushing you around and play, hitting you and hitting you in your nose.
[00:04:16] Speaker A: You have to kind of just take it.
[00:04:17] Speaker B: Yeah, you kind of got to just take it.
Unless, you know, they do something to another child, then you make an instant report.
But I would say the best part of that job was when they got to sleep, because I also got to sleep.
[00:04:31] Speaker A: Yeah, you are a great napper. I mean, if there was a job for sleeping, I think you would be
[00:04:37] Speaker B: like, I think I would.
[00:04:40] Speaker A: Employee of the month.
[00:04:41] Speaker B: Yeah. Be employee of the month. Every month. Employee of the year. Maybe even the CEO of the company.
[00:04:46] Speaker A: If I can just say we. I wanted to record this earlier in the day, but Kaylee had to nap.
I'll give you one more hour. She's like, but that's only one more hour.
[00:04:53] Speaker B: Yeah, I had to just nap until the afternoon because, you know, I wake up at 12. Usually that's when my day starts. 12pm which is crazy, because, look, you
[00:05:02] Speaker A: can sleep until noon on days that you can, but you most days are busy doing things. So, like, I don't even complain too much because you are working two jobs. You are going to school. You're doing really good in school. You were in the dean's list last semester.
[00:05:15] Speaker B: I was on the dean's list this semester. But you do have a semester.
[00:05:19] Speaker A: But you need a.
I mean, I guess you have to catch up on the sleep. Right? Because you're doing so much. I guess we could say that.
Okay, awesome. Well, I do remember the whole napping situation with the childcare. Because I remember the time you told me that they had to wake you up at nap time.
[00:05:35] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:05:36] Speaker A: I'm sure you were part of the work drama that day.
People were like, that girl Kaylee fell asleep with the kids again. Again.
[00:05:46] Speaker B: Well, I told you. They told me I could. I remember, like, there was nothing to do. I'd be on my.
[00:05:53] Speaker A: So it was gonna be on my phone, asleep. Great. Childcare. Is this what the parents were complaining about?
Actually, I think I remember that being a complaint. Was. It was. It wasn't it? Or maybe that was just me. I think I went to go pick you up and I saw you on your phone, and I'm like, aren't you supposed to be keeping an eye on the kids?
[00:06:09] Speaker B: Maybe.
[00:06:10] Speaker A: But luckily, you weren't ever alone with the kids. Right. It was like there was always, like, an actual teacher and stuff.
[00:06:14] Speaker B: Oh, no, I was alone with the kids.
[00:06:15] Speaker A: Oh, God.
[00:06:18] Speaker B: But I wasn't alone with the kids on my phone. So, like, let's say I was in the sandbox. The teachers would be watching the kids on the playground. Sometimes I'd be on my phone. That was around the time they would get picked up. So I was actually kind of allowed to be on my phone. And by the time you'd pick me up. That's why you saw me, because you picked me up.
[00:06:33] Speaker A: Yeah, same. Okay. All right. Well, but now you have something completely different. You're not taking care of any children's lives.
[00:06:39] Speaker B: Nope. Now I'm taking care of Elders financials.
[00:06:43] Speaker A: Financials, yeah. Which sounds fun. I love that you're getting that experience. But you're also doing some freelance work for what you're going to school for, which I think is amazing. Getting that experience, which kind of takes us into this next story, which is why I'm so excited that you're here, because this story today is actually based around kind of a freelance job, not exactly filmmaking. But today's story comes from our work bestie of the day, Devin. So Devin is also a freelancer.
[00:07:12] Speaker B: That's shout out to Devin.
[00:07:13] Speaker A: Yes, Devin is. We'll see how he's doing by the end of the story. Okay, but I don't know.
[00:07:19] Speaker B: Let's pray for Devin.
[00:07:20] Speaker A: Let's pray for Devin. I think Devin will be just fine. But Kayleigh, are you ready to get into the story?
[00:07:25] Speaker B: I don't know. Am I ready? Am I ready, Freddie? I think I am.
[00:07:28] Speaker A: I think you are, Freddy Fazbear. Let's get into it.
Devin had just started freelancing the year before the situation happened. He worked out of a shared co working office that was run by a small creative production studio. Think digital media marketing, video editing, that kind of environment. You know that type of environment, right Kaylee?
[00:07:45] Speaker B: I do know that type of environment.
[00:07:47] Speaker A: The type of place where freelancers, designers and studio employees all share the same open office hybrid setup. Some people work from home part of the week, some people work in the office every day. It was a mix.
And Devin sat right next to one of the studio employees. We'll call him Zach.
Zach never said good morning, never offered to pick up lunch for the office. And the only time you ever caught him laughing or showing any type of personality was when he was talking to the co working space owner or one of the cute ladies in the office. Kaylee, every office has one. The person who's just like unpleasant. Now be honest. Are you that person at the office?
[00:08:22] Speaker B: I am not that person at the office and I will never be that person at the office. My co workers love me.
[00:08:27] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean I not that I was ever that person. Like I'm also very like liked and always had friends in the office. But everybody knew. Don't talk to me before 10am like I am just like not awake. And that's probably where you get it a little bit from.
I will be there at 7:45 or whatever the time starts, but I am not fully awake until like at least a couple hours in.
[00:08:49] Speaker B: So I feel that I am not in until I have my cup of water. I think my co workers know that too because they tell me every morning that I look tired and they're like what time did you fall asleep? And I'm like 1am and they're like, oh, that's better than you usually do.
[00:09:02] Speaker A: Yeah, actually I go to sleep and it's funny that you say your cup of water because like we're not coffee drinkers, right? I'm not a coffee, not a coffee drinker. My thing though, was hot chocolate. I always had a hot chocolate in the morning. So, anyway, let's get back into it. So not long after Devin started working there, something weird began to happen.
His. His Internet would randomly stop working.
Middle of the day, middle of meetings. Sometimes for a few minutes, sometimes for hours.
[00:09:27] Speaker B: Feel that?
[00:09:29] Speaker A: At first, Devin thought it was just normal coworker office issues. Right. Shared networks can be messy. Too many devices, bandwidth issues, things like that, right?
[00:09:36] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:09:37] Speaker A: But it kept happening over and over and over again.
[00:09:42] Speaker B: Someone should talk to the IT Guy.
[00:09:43] Speaker A: Yes.
Well, how long before that starts happening? Because you just said, like. Right. You've been there.
[00:09:49] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:09:49] Speaker A: How long before you start thinking that somebody's actually messing with you? Or would you even think?
[00:09:55] Speaker B: It depends. It's not really my job to worry about things like that, but
[00:10:01] Speaker A: if it's happening enough times, I think I would
[00:10:03] Speaker B: just report it to the IT and have them deal with it. If it's a. If it's a hacker, then they're definitely. No.
[00:10:11] Speaker A: Okay. Yeah. Honestly, I don't know enough about it or anything either, that I would also just think, like, yeah, it's an IT thing. Like, let's put in a ticket or whatever the heck.
But the thing was, Devin started noticing a pattern.
His Internet would drop right when he was about to start either an important call or when he was uploading work for a client or when he had a deadline. So basically, anytime anything important was about to take place, that's when the connection would be interrupted.
[00:10:39] Speaker B: That's hilarious. I would think God was out to get me. If that was happening to me, I would think it had to be something supernatural.
[00:10:47] Speaker A: Well, meanwhile, everyone else at the office, they were totally fine.
[00:10:51] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, I definitely think it was some kind of deity.
[00:10:56] Speaker A: Well, every time Devin tried troubleshooting it, because he works in this field, he's a little itish.
He would try troubleshooting it and, you know, restarting the router, reconnecting, switching networks. Zach would just be sitting there watching quietly, sometimes even smirking.
[00:11:14] Speaker B: I was literally gonna say laughing to himself.
[00:11:17] Speaker A: Yep. I think that alone would send me into detective mode. Like, why are you smirking at me?
[00:11:21] Speaker B: Yeah, that alone would make me very perceptive of him.
I would report him immediately.
[00:11:27] Speaker A: Yeah, like, I don't know, but that
[00:11:28] Speaker B: smile or that smirk says something to me. And those eyes, Those are the devil's eyes.
[00:11:34] Speaker A: All right, now remember, Devin is freelancing, right? Which means he's basically working for himself. Right? So when your Internet goes down, you're not just annoyed, you're losing money.
So over several months, Devin estimated he lost over $1,200 worth of working hours because of these interruptions.
So missed meetings, delayed deadlines, he had clients waiting. And reviews matter a lot for freelancers, right?
[00:11:59] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, definitely.
[00:11:59] Speaker A: Like, especially word of mouth. Like, you can't have somebody saying, oh, God, he was late, or he.
[00:12:03] Speaker B: Yeah, you need those recommendations on your profile to get other people to want to hire you. Because if you don't have a good reputation, how do you expect anyone else to be like, hey, I want you to be on my project and work for me.
[00:12:16] Speaker A: Yeah, it's. Yeah. So this was not a good look.
So eventually, Devin became convinced something wasn't right, so he took matters into his own hands to figure out what was up.
[00:12:25] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:12:26] Speaker A: He asked the co working space owner for the network admin password. Now, Kaylee, I'm gonna be honest. I don't even know what I would do with that. I wouldn't even know to ask for that, you know? So, like, if, for example, for you, if you were to become suspicious that somebody's messing with you, how would you go about trying to figure that out?
Obviously, Devin is maybe a little smarter with the tech world.
[00:12:49] Speaker B: He seems to have a very weirdly vivid knowledge of how to do it. But I.
I'm very unsure if, like, I kind of answered that. I just go to the it. But if I had to take it up into my own hands, I have no idea because I really don't know how I handle that.
[00:13:06] Speaker A: I don't think I really just go
[00:13:08] Speaker B: about asking my manager and asking my. My co workers. I wouldn't know what to do.
[00:13:12] Speaker A: I would probably set up a little, like, camera or something. Like, I'm gonna catch it in the act because, like, I have no idea. I don't know what I'm gonna do with an admin password. But let's find out what he does with this. So the owner does trust Devin and gives him the access to the network admin panel and the password. Once inside, Devin starts looking through the logs, and that's when he sees it.
His device's IP address. And for those of us that are slightly technologically literate, such as myself and me, an IP address is basically like a digital address for every computer in the network.
[00:13:46] Speaker B: Oh, I know what that was.
[00:13:49] Speaker A: So that's what that is.
And Devin's was on the block list.
Ooh.
So actually both of his connections were so his Ethernet connection, which, to those of you that I don't know, that you don't know, because you're Gen Z. But the Ethernet cord was a thing we would plug in. It's like the hard wire of the Internet outside of WI Fi. So that connection was somehow.
[00:14:13] Speaker B: So Gen Z. I didn't know there was something outside of WI Fi.
[00:14:16] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, now we only know WI Fi, right? But his Ethernet connection apparently was blocked. And also his WI FI connection, the witchcrafty one. Right? The one that just has no wires.
So, yeah, someone had been manually blocking him from the network.
[00:14:31] Speaker B: Wonder who that was.
[00:14:33] Speaker A: So it wasn't the router malfunctioning. It was not bad WI Fi. It was just some weirdo somewhere messing with his money. But it gets worse.
[00:14:42] Speaker B: How much worse can it get?
[00:14:44] Speaker A: Well, the admin panel showed who was making the changes. Oh. Do you want to take a guess?
[00:14:50] Speaker B: Hmm. So many people in this story, I just. I don't know who I'd choose.
[00:14:56] Speaker A: Could be one of the cuties. One of the cute girls.
[00:14:58] Speaker B: You know what? I'm gonna. I'm gonna have to say Devin. Maybe he was hacking to his own
[00:15:01] Speaker A: stuff just for fun.
[00:15:03] Speaker B: Just for fun. For the fun of it.
[00:15:05] Speaker A: Well, the only other person logged into the system was Zach.
[00:15:09] Speaker B: No, not Zach. I thought he was so nice.
[00:15:14] Speaker A: And here's the part that made it even more unbelievable. There were times Z had been logging in remotely, like from home.
[00:15:22] Speaker B: Oh, my.
[00:15:23] Speaker A: Blocking Devin's Internet from the comforts of his freaking couch.
I need your reaction.
[00:15:30] Speaker B: From his couch.
[00:15:31] Speaker A: From his couch. Or I mean, from the comfort of his home. At least.
[00:15:35] Speaker B: Hacking in, getting. Getting him fired from his PJs. That's hilarious.
[00:15:40] Speaker A: So Devin was ready to throw hands or at least put it to a stop. Do you know what throw hands mean? Yeah, I know. That's been, like, trending on TikTok.
[00:15:47] Speaker B: Catch me outside. How about that?
[00:15:51] Speaker A: So, yeah, he had to figure out how to document this, though. And he needed actual proof of Zach doing this. So he continued to search the admin panel, and sure enough, via timestamp, while Devin was sitting at his desk, the log showed Zach adding his IP address to the block list. Devin even remembers a specific timestamp because it was just before an important meeting. And Devin's Internet immediately shut off. And Zach sitting two seats away, listening to Devin try to troubleshoot the connection while pretending nothing was wrong.
That is such villain behavior.
[00:16:23] Speaker B: I wonder what that guy's origin story was to be such a villain.
[00:16:27] Speaker A: So Devin took screenshots, he saved the logs, documented everything, down to how much it cost him to lose service at those times, which he had come up with. Twelve hundred dollars.
Then he did the professional thing and went straight to the studio owner.
[00:16:42] Speaker B: Devin better than me.
[00:16:43] Speaker A: Mm. Showed the evidence.
What would you have done?
Yes.
[00:16:48] Speaker B: I would square up.
[00:16:50] Speaker A: You would throw hands?
[00:16:51] Speaker B: I would throw hands out of work hours. I'd be like, hey, you. You made me lose 12. What was it do? Twelve hundred dollars of work time. It's time to throw hands. You're gonna give me twelve hundred dollars right now? Well, like, you owe me money.
[00:17:02] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, and it's not like you're a freelancer, right? So it's not like you're not gonna get fired from this place, per se. I. I hear you. Because I would be pissed off, too, so. But Devin is the bigger person. He went, you know, told the studio owner what was happening. And the outcome. Zach was fired because Zach actually worked at the studio.
According to Devin, the whole office felt relieved. Apparently, Zach had been rude to everyone for a long time, and the girls who he would chat up that were there at the office as well were creeped out by him.
[00:17:38] Speaker B: I can see that. I can definitely see that.
[00:17:40] Speaker A: But nobody expected him to be secretly sabotaging people's Internet. Although now that the news was out, there are others that are thinking that there were some weird Internet issues that may have been Zach's work all along.
And.
And since Zach was fired, Devin's Internet has worked perfectly.
No mysterious outages, no random blocks, and to Devin's disappointment, no reimbursement of the money he lost to this nonsense. But that's the life of an entrepreneur. I guess that sucks. Yeah. So I guess he thought, I'll do the nice thing. Maybe I'll get my money somehow. But you work for yourself. You kind of. You lost out, which. That really sucks. So. All right, Kayleigh, it's time to unpack this.
So, first off, abusing technical access, Right. Zach was trusted in this position, whatever his position actually was, with this responsibility.
Does he sound. I mean, it sounds like nobody really liked him.
[00:18:33] Speaker B: It sounds like he wasn't a fan favorite among his colleagues at all.
[00:18:37] Speaker A: How did he get this position of.
[00:18:39] Speaker B: It was probably a lot of lies. He probably lied in his interview and seemed very cordial. And then, you know, off in sheep's clothing.
[00:18:48] Speaker A: You know, they did mention that whenever he did have a personality, quote unquote, it was when he was talking to the admin, like, to the owner. So they probably saw a different side of it.
[00:18:58] Speaker B: Yeah, completely different inside of Zach.
[00:19:00] Speaker A: I wonder what Zach's job title was. Exactly what he's doing there. Zach and Then you get to work from home from time to time, and you have all this time to sabotage people's Internet. Like, what?
[00:19:08] Speaker B: My. My question is, what made him want to sabotage people's Internet? Like, did he get paid more?
[00:19:15] Speaker A: He's a villain.
[00:19:17] Speaker B: He just wanted to do some villain stuff. He's like, you know, I can't.
I'm not. I'm not Joker in Gotham, but I'm Zack and Gotham
[00:19:26] Speaker A: in his co working space. Because we don't even know what his role really was. Right. But enough to know to do that stuff. So he.
[00:19:32] Speaker B: Yeah, I wouldn't assume he had to have, like, it or something to be able to access all those files.
[00:19:37] Speaker A: Yeah. And so in this case, another issue is, is this considered workplace bullying through technology?
How do you see that?
[00:19:46] Speaker B: Workplace bullying through technology.
[00:19:49] Speaker A: I mean, I think it's workplace bullying.
[00:19:51] Speaker B: Definitely bullying.
[00:19:54] Speaker A: How are you sabotaging their job? Somebody's job, you're costing them money and then you're just sitting there laughing and
[00:20:00] Speaker B: smirking and just smiling, just having fun with it.
[00:20:02] Speaker A: That's bully behavior. Yeah. And the fact that he could easily get away with it had it been us, we wouldn't have noticed.
[00:20:09] Speaker B: Well, I feel like I definitely would have noticed eventually. I mean, if I was missing calls and missing work, I think I would
[00:20:18] Speaker A: probably just, like, leave. I'll be like, this co working space has horrible Internet. I gotta find a different space. You know what I mean? Like, I wouldn't even think it was somebody.
[00:20:24] Speaker B: Yeah, I think it would be more. I'm very skeptical. So I would also notice that this isn't happening to, like, really anybody else. And it's mainly happening to me. And that's when I'd be like, okay, there's something fishy going on here.
[00:20:36] Speaker A: Yeah, that's true. That's true. I don't know. I think also, like, Zach. The audacity of Zach to sit there and do that.
[00:20:41] Speaker B: Right? The audacity of his smug little face.
[00:20:44] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:20:47] Speaker B: Insane.
Punch the lights out of it with
[00:20:52] Speaker A: you saying his smug face. What type of personality does Zach have to have?
[00:21:00] Speaker B: The kind of. Well, if I had to make him in tomodachi life, living the dream.
[00:21:04] Speaker A: Okay, we got Gen Z in the house.
[00:21:07] Speaker B: I would have to say he is definitely a reserved, maybe ambitious because maybe he was trying to get Devon fired so that he could raise up, like, go up, but I don't know.
[00:21:19] Speaker A: Well, not sure, but they remember, they're not. They're not working. This is a co working space. So Zach isn't. I mean, Devin isn't gonna get fired.
[00:21:28] Speaker B: Right.
[00:21:28] Speaker A: If anything, he's just gonna leave. But they're not working on the same thing. It's not like they have the same shared projects or anything.
So either.
I'm thinking Zach is either just really bored and evil because, like, it makes no sense. Like, you guys, like, you're not working on the same project. You're not feeling his.
[00:21:47] Speaker B: That's. I was literally just about to say that. He's not even stealing his money. Yeah.
[00:21:51] Speaker A: You're not gonna get clients or anything, so it's like, it makes no sense. So I just think he's just gotta be mean and evil and, like.
[00:21:59] Speaker B: Yeah, just callous.
[00:22:00] Speaker A: Prior to somebody that maybe in high school, didn't have a lot of friends
[00:22:04] Speaker B: and, like, got bullied a lot. Maybe.
[00:22:06] Speaker A: Yeah. Now he's, like, paying it forward.
Who knows?
[00:22:10] Speaker B: Maybe Devon bullied him in high school.
[00:22:13] Speaker A: I mean, I don't know. We don't know enough about Devin, but Devin is our work bestie. Don't throw Devin under the bus. He seems nice, he seems cool. He missed out a lot of money.
But anyway, going back to Devin, talking about him, our work bestie of the day.
He got his answers in the end, right? And business actually started taking off.
And Zach, well, he lost his job from some wi fi bs. And good luck to him landing another job with some privileges. I have a feeling he's probably not doing as well.
[00:22:47] Speaker B: Not gonna be great. Not gonna have great references. That's for sure.
[00:22:50] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:22:50] Speaker B: Took a big L with that one.
[00:22:53] Speaker A: So, yeah, that was our story for the day. What did you think, Kayleigh? How did you enjoy it?
[00:22:58] Speaker B: I did enjoy it.
[00:22:59] Speaker A: You enjoy being on the podcast?
[00:23:01] Speaker B: On the paw.
[00:23:02] Speaker A: Might have to have you back.
[00:23:03] Speaker B: Have me back?
[00:23:05] Speaker A: That's not something you want me back?
[00:23:09] Speaker B: I would love to be back, but that's if people like me.
[00:23:13] Speaker A: Oh, I hope they like you. Put a comment down below. If you like Haley, she'll definitely be back. Because, you know, you can come back for a story about a financial institution.
[00:23:21] Speaker B: That's true. I have a care situation about financial institutions and the people who come and walk through them.
[00:23:30] Speaker A: Yeah. Or I might have something about film someday. That'll be interesting.
[00:23:33] Speaker B: That'll actually be so fun.
[00:23:36] Speaker A: I can see you coming back. I really enjoy doing this with you. This is really fun.
[00:23:39] Speaker B: I had a fun time and that story was very interesting.
[00:23:43] Speaker A: I thought it would align with you a little bit.
[00:23:45] Speaker B: It did. Yeah.
[00:23:46] Speaker A: Kind of just the freelancing part, I guess.
