[00:00:34]No, no, no. Please.

[00:00:53]Would you rather only wear shoes made out of spaghetti for a year or only eat foods that start with the letter P for 319 days, excluding federal holidays?

[00:01:05]That's insane.

[00:01:07]I mean, you can do a lot with pee foods.

[00:01:23]Connect me to HR.

[00:01:26]Does the spaghetti have sauce on it?

[00:01:29]That changes everything.

[00:01:40]Seeking motivated team player for a fast-paced organization. Must be comfortable with long hours and unpredictable workplace hazards. We offer a competitive 401k, a pension plan, and plenty of vacation time and holidays.

[00:01:56]We also have a generous PTO policy.

[00:02:03]And don't forget to mention the snack bar. I am a sucker for a bowl of Lucky Charms.

[00:02:15]I once reared a vending machine to only give me Sour Patch Kids. Worth it.

[00:02:22]I once pigpocketed a guy during a trust hall.

[00:02:34]Hi there. You in the white sweater?

[00:02:39]>> Yes, you. Clipboard, anxious energy, big first day of school vibes.

[00:02:46]>> Me. They're ready to see you now.

[00:03:06]Here you go. Your first official to neck. It's blue, standard issued, and all cotton. Allegedly.

[00:03:19]First collar feels like it's judging you.

[00:03:24]But eventually becomes part of your next psychology.

[00:03:29]Don't worry about the size. Sizing is aspirational.

[00:03:35]Here you go. You made it through the waiting room, which is more than I can say for most people.

[00:03:43]It's not a test. It just has that energy.

[00:04:14]Welcome. We're absolutely thrilled to have you join us. This company is the most wonderful place, wouldn't you say?

[00:04:25]>> Absolutely. It is the most fantastic workplace in the world. You'll love it here.

[00:04:31]>> See, we like to keep things positive.

[00:04:34]So, tell us about yourself. But first, wouldn't you say we have the most innovative approach here?

[00:04:42]>> Oh, definitely. We are truly one of a kind.

[00:04:47]So, you were saying we'd love to hear a little about your background. Oh, but Oh, wouldn't you agree?

[00:04:56]We have the most supportive team.

[00:04:59]>> Oh, yes. We do. You'll love it.

[00:05:04]>> Well, it's been wonderful learning so much about you. I feel like we know you so well already. Welcome to the family.

[00:05:23]We have to make sure this fits just right. No gaps.

[00:05:26]>> Exactly. We can't have any openings for anything pointy. Knives, boomerangs, ears. You never know what someone pointy ears does with you.

[00:05:34]>> We need ears, right? And um this is really necessary.

[00:05:39]>> Absolutely. Plus, it's machine washable.

[00:05:42]You'll thank us later. Oh, and trust me, this line of work gets messy. You're going to want this to fit perfectly.

[00:05:55]>> Wait, what's those bats for?

[00:05:57]>> Oh, just a little test. Don't worry. We just want to show you how well that padding works. Now, hold still.

[00:06:12]Um, this one doesn't have a return address and it's ticking.

[00:06:19]Outgoing top shelf. It's ticking.

[00:06:23]Deadlines.

[00:06:25]Just mark it timesensitive and start it.

[00:06:27]That usually goes to dispatch or legal.

[00:06:30]Hard to say.

[00:06:31]So, we separate fan mail and hate mail.

[00:06:35]The boss still reads both. So as it keeps him balanced and utility always late.

[00:06:44]He likes the suspense.

[00:06:47]Hang roll.

[00:06:49]This is honestly more intense than my internship at Amazon. We get that lot.

[00:06:53]>> Good night. Free dental and surprise labor commissioner Thursdays.

[00:07:13]Heat. Heat.

[00:07:33]Hey This is your adversary. He is fast. He is agile. He is vengeful.

[00:07:59]>> And legally, we're not allowed to say who he's based on.

[00:08:03]>> But you know, now fight like your dental plan depends on it.

[00:08:28]Yay!

[00:08:55]They're out of Lucky Charms again.

[00:08:57]>> Last week it was toothpaste and biscuits. The week before a wet concrete chai. I don't think those are real flavors anymore.

[00:09:03]>> Don't even get me started on the toilet paper budget. Boss just installed four new bathrooms and now we're circling bankruptcy because of Charmin Ultra.

[00:09:13]>> Yeah. Do all departments have fight training?

[00:09:17]>> Only the ones under high impact logistics >> or brand engagement?

[00:09:21]>> Honestly, it all depends on the intern death rate that quarter.

[00:09:24]>> Okay, cool.

[00:09:32]>> No, you could put some of that on your head. It might burn a little, but you'd smell like kelp in disappointment. I think I'll stick with ice.

[00:09:49]Oh, hi. You must be shadowing with us today.

[00:09:52]>> Yeah.

[00:09:54]Is it a bomb?

[00:09:55]>> Oh, no, no, no. It's a toy bomb. Totally safe. It teaches timing, rhythm, and situational awareness.

[00:10:08]That'll seem pretty real.

[00:10:12]We try to keep things as realistic as possible. You never know what role these little ones could be promoted into. It's important to celebrate their milestone.

[00:10:31]>> Hi. I think I'm supposed to help clean.

[00:10:34]>> Yeah. We get these buses cheap covered in gum and bad decisions.

[00:10:39]Oh, well, aren't we just going to fill it with explosives and blow it out?

[00:10:43]>> Exactly. But the boss likes things tidy.

[00:10:46]Clean debris makes for a cleaner explosion.

[00:10:49]>> And it's great team building. Plus, there's dental. Nothing says career path like scraping bazooka gel off of vinyl.

[00:10:58]>> This feels highly unnecessary.

[00:11:00]>> Welcome to villain logistics.

[00:11:05]>> Is this false? predates the last three interns.

[00:12:00]Please. Peace.

[00:12:34]Hi, Marge. Can I get HR again?

[00:12:59]Heat up here.

[00:13:27]Heat up here.
