Joe: Is your mom single, or no?
Hey, today we're gonna be
a professional reference
For somebody who's looking
for a new job.
Whilst
on a video call,
The other guys will be
messaging us
Bizarre things
to say and do.
Plus, we'll be sitting
right across the table
Messing with each other
however we see fit.
The goal is to get through
the video call
As best you can.
And if you can't,
you lose.
This is like
a board meeting.
I'm glad you guys could
join me.
Joe is about to be
a reference
For somebody
applying for a job over zoom.
Everything you're
saying and doing,
We are gonna command you
from these laptops.
Joe, you ready to be
somebody's reference?
Yes. They're not getting
the job, for sure.
Here we go.
Hello.
-Hi.
How's your day been?
Good so far.
You know, I've been busy just
working from the home office.
You know,
as a -year-old man,
I'm not that good
with technology, so...
No, I understand.
My mom is actually --
She's been, like,
virtually teaching right now,
And she's trying to learn
how to use technology
In a way she's never
had to use it before.
I know, it's crazy,
because everybody's having
A tough time with it, you know.
Is your mom single, or no?
[ laughing ]
no, she's not single.
She actually is a teacher.
So, she teaches
nurse-aid students,
So teaching them
virtually is like --
Are you single?
[ laughs ] yes, I am.
And the dating scene,
let me tell you,
It is not the best.
Yeah, it's been a --
Yeah, it's definitely --
Oh! Did something
just spray on you?
There's a pipe in the office,
and it's wonky.
Oh, my gosh.
That's unfortunate.
Let me just go ahead
and start asking you questions
About your relationship
with jamie.
Is that okay?
-Yeah, that's fine.
What was his main
responsibilities,
Things like that?
One of the shining things with
jamie is he did a great job.
He kept frank away from roger
on helen's days off.
Okay. And so,
his most recent project,
Is at discover
financial services?
Discover financial services,
yeah.
Does that go along the lines
of being a java developer?
Yes.
What was the nature
of your working relationship?
Really worked hard.
I once saw him lift
a xerox machine
Because there was a paperclip
that fell behind it.
And it didn't seem
necessary to me,
But people want to do
what they want to do sometimes.
What is --
what is going on?
There must have been something
got in the house.
I'm gonna --
I actually have to go.
I literally
have to end the call.
Great.
Well, I mean, I appreciate
You taking the time for this,
and I hope all is well.
Okay.
I'll fix that leak.
I got to fix the leak, too.
-Alright.
So, appreciate you.
[ laughter ]
[ buzzer ]
Murr: Alright, sal's turn to go.
Oh, hey, hey.
Dan, right?
-Dan: Yes, yes.
-Oh, excellent.
-Alright, let me just...
-Nice to see you, man.
How you doing?
-Good. What about yourself?
Um...
I mean, nowadays,
days all seem the same,
But, uh...
I don't really get where this is
going, per se, you know.
Hi, hi. Hey. Sorry.
You're good.
No worries.
Where are you located?
I'm in new york, just outside.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm -- I'm just in jersey.
So, dan, let's get to it, buddy.
Let's get to it. Wow.
What would you say, like,
her strongest skills were?
[ keyboard keys clacking ]
[ groans ]
She's got fat little baby toes,
and I just want to eat them up.
[ chuckles ]
Did she have any issues?
Hm...
She takes long lunches.
How long do you guys
normally have for lunch?
It's a half hour.
One time, she was gone
for two days' worth of lunch.
[ laughter ]
Some advice on best ways
to manage her?
She -- she didn't -- she...
I would -- I would say
don't micromanage.
-Okay.
-Don't micromanage, yeah.
I mean, that's kind of
why I let those, uh...
She didn't res--
I would say
don't micromanage.
Do you have any --
Yeah, do you have
any like, examples
Of when you possibly
micromanaged
And it didn't --
it kind of backfired?
She didn't respond well
to physical restraints,
I'll tell you that much.
Fair enough.
Anything else you want to add?
Um, uh...
I am not % sure
who this person is.
[ ding! ]
Alright, murr.
I feel like I'm on the receiving
end of a f*ring squad.
[ laughter ]
that's what it's like.
Okay, I'm starting the call now.
Hello.
-Hey, what's going on?
Hey. Christian, right?
Yeah. Jamie, correct?
Jamie's the person
I'm referring.
Yeah. Yep.
Her real name's jamie miller,
But we used to call jamie
"taco" in the office.
Oh, really?
Is there any story behind that?
She's just loves tacos.
And what were basically, like,
taco's responsibility?
Taco was our secret w*apon,
so to speak.
Would, uh...
You know, they wanted to --
Our company specializes
in cloud capabilities
And that kind of
backbone infrastructure,
And what we found was that
she was excellent at talking.
She was the closer, so to speak.
Okay, awesome.
And then, what were
their strongest skills?
Let's see...
She had really nice teeth.
I mean, like, I'd often find
myself getting lost in them.
And then what were
the biggest weaknesses?
The biggest weaknesses, uh...
She --
[ chuckles ]
She was a little out of shape
for my taste.
Okay.
And then, any advice on how
to manage, how to manage her?
Yeah, you know, I would say
if she gives you any lip,
Call her "mustache"
and she'll fall in line.
[ laughing ]
Excuse me one second.
Everything okay?
I'm sorry. So...
[ laughing ]
Sorry. Okay!
Alright, what are --
what are you laughing at?
I'm so sorry.
Hey, dad?
Yeah?
Can I borrow
the car?
Yeah. The keys
are over there, tim.
Okay.
Thanks, dad.
I'm so -- I'm so lost
right now.
It's this, you know,
working from home, right?
[ laughter ]
[ ding! ]
What person chose q as
a reference for a job interview?
Someone did.
Q: Hi. Ellington?
Yeah. How you doing?
I'm excited to help out today.
Thank you.
What were her responsibilities
at your company?
Uh, well, besides work,
She helped me co-chair
the office death pool.
Okay.
[ laughter ]
Where did you see the most
growth in jamie's development?
[ cymbals crash ]
♪♪
Ellington: Where did you
see the most growth
In jamie's development?
Q: She was shitty
at paperwork at first,
But she kind of get better at it
as she went along.
Yeah, I'm sure.
[ cymbals crash ]
[ muffled laughter ]
What's the next question?
How is the candidate
At managing and executing
projects?
I will say this -- do not send
the former alcoholic
To pick up all the booze
for the bastille day party
And expect to have a good time.
[ chuckles ]
that's good advice.
Okay, come on. Bastille day.
Let's go. Next question.
Is there a time
that you can recall
That the candidate
solved a problem
And really exceeded
expectations?
I do.
This is actually great.
See, someone kept
stealing lunches
Out of the department fridge,
And jamie rigged a dye pack
To her meatball sub,
And the culprit
was caught red-handed.
Or should I say...
Blue-handed.
I need a gong.
Is there anything else
you'd like to add about --
[ cymbals crash ]
[ laughter ]
Oh.
You want to see a dead body?
Ehhh...I -- no.
Alright, next question.
-That was all of them.
That's all the questions
I got for you.
Yeah.
Oof. Oh-ho-ho!
Wow. Alright, bud,
I hope you --
Could you tell that I've been
taking a dump this whole time?
[ laughing ]
Oh, man.
Keep your crank up.
I'm out.
Whoo!

Narrator: Joe couldn't handle
working from home,
So he's first up
on the loser board.
Today,
we're at cec research,
Presenting details of our
life story to focus groups.
But, guys,
here's the catch --
The details
of these memoirs
Have been written
by the other guys.
At the end of the session,
we'll ask the person,
On the scale of to ,
How likely they are
to recommend our memoir.
Whoever gets
the lowest score loses.
And you don't want
to lose,
'cause that means
you get punished.
You know that from
watching the show.
How's it going today?
Really good.
Joe vs. Me.
Here we go.
Thanks for coming in.
I'm just telling you
about a memoir
That we're looking possibly
to take to a publisher.
Oh, sure.
Alright, joey,
this is your life story.
"spermgod"
by joe gatto.
[ laughter ]
So, I'm self-made.
I was on my own at a young age,
Surviving hand-to-mouth
by using what god gave me --
My body.
I began testing dr*gs
for big pharma
And donating sperm
on the regular.
[ laughter ]
The big thing here
was I tested hyberzerbidome.
Unfortunately, hyberzerbidome
got rejected by the fda
After rounds of testing
and never went to market,
So that's why
you haven't heard of it.
Mm.
Hyberzerbidome shut down my
larynx and darkened my areolas.
So, I had side effects.
[ laughter ]
Darkened
your areolas?
My sperm's also a winner.
Through the years, my sperms
were successfully used
In over pregnancies.
Okay.
I had all these kids,
But I never felt
like a dad.
Hm.
I recently decided it was time
to meet my -ish kids.
Enter bianca.
[ laughter ]
Bianca is ,
from fátima, portugal.
Yeah.
I saw this picture of her.
I set off to find bianca
And hopefully
"connect" with her mother.
The mom's hot?
You see where
this is going?
Bianca's mo--
Bianca's mother
was busted.
Not good.
Yeah, I know, in portugal.
Wow.
Right, yeah, so now I'm forced
to leave portugal.
On the flight home, I sit
next to a wonderful woman
And have an eight-hour
conversation,
And we truly connect.
Mm-hmm.
The hot stewardess
asked me
If I wanted
another bag of peanuts.
King meets queen.
I marry the sky waitress.
[ laughter ]
So, now, welcome home,
my jealous wife.
Uh-oh!
Shortly after we wed,
my wife finds out
About my -ish kids,
and she's not happy.
Right.
To make matters worse,
I don't get her pregnant.
My sperms only work in the lab.
She wanted to bear children.
Soon after,
I almost d*ed -- poison.
Figured out that it was my wife
that tried to poison me,
Using hyberzerbidome
That she had gotten
some left over dosage.
I noticed 'cause my nipples
started getting dark.
I noticed right away, because
my areolas...Reconfigured there.
[ laughter ]
Okay. So, now
my wife's in the clink.
Right.
She gets to life,
which leaves me all alone again.
Yeah.
I get one last sh*t.
My son denis from toronto
calls me,
Telling me he needs me.
Turns out he's infertile.
Oh, that's a side effect?
Yeah, my sperms
might have got jacked up
From the hyberzerbidome.
Wow.
Yeah, 'cause I was doming
hard at that point.
'cause I was doming hard
early -- trials.
Right. Right.
Talk about
how you started
Getting into recreational
hyberzerbidome.
Hyberzerbidome
was also, like --
Kind of turned
a little recreational, too.
Wow.
Yeah.
They called it 'bidoming.
"you show me
someone's areolas,
I'll tell you if they're
on hyberzerbidome."
You show me a dark areola,
you know that they're on it.
Oh, my gosh, yeah.
[ laughter ]
It's time for me
to get back to my roots
And donate sperms
one last time...
To my son's wife.
[ laughter ]
I became a father
and a grandfather
In a single stroke.
Finito.
[ laughter ]
I guess the question for you is,
on a scale of to ,
How likely are you
to recommend this memoir,
If it were published,
to a friend?
I'll say an .
You'll say an ?
-I'll say an .
-Wow!
You can't write
this stuff, right?
[ ding! ]
-Here we go.
-My name is sal.
Hi, sal.
Nice to meet you.
Sal: Nice to meet you,
as well.
I've had a very
interesting life.
I wrote a novel.
It's a biography.
Alright, sounds good.
Sal doesn't know what his story
is, and here we go.
So...
"the re-bourne identity:
I was in witness protection
times."
[ laughter ]
Q: What?!
"the re-bourne identity:
I was in witness
protection times."
[ laughter ]
This is how it all began.
was the year.
The song was "maneater"
by hall & oates.
[ laughter ]
I was just a kid
working as a cart boy
At wegmans in mahwah,
new jersey.
Like all -year-old boys,
I idolized my store manager.
Right.
Until the day I witnessed him
dealing coke dr*gs.
[ laughter ]
Coke dr*gs.
I loved my boss so much,
but I had to do the right thing,
And I snitched.
Okay.
"chapter : Whoops."
[ laughter ]
Turns out the leone
crime family,
The famous one that you are
thinking of right now,
That's the one --
-She's not thinking of them.
-[ laughing ]
...Was running
a designer drug ring
Out of the frozen food section
where I worked.
And their motto is --
And we know this
from popular culture,
Television
and probably books --
Snitches get m*rder*d.
[ laughter ]
Snitches get m*rder*d.
My whole family was at risk,
naturally,
So we had to enter witpro.
[ laughter ]
You know, witpro.
Witness protection.
I shortened it.
They named me
dud duckett of lima, ohio.
New life sucked.
I had no friends.
I ballooned
all the way up to .
[ laughter ]
I'm at a party
and I think,
Maybe to score points
with the ladies,
I'll tell
the coke drug story.
Yeah. Yeah.
Some kid at the party
snitches.
I got to re-witpro now.
[ laughter ]
So, witpro --
mike anders.
I love my new life,
finally,
But they give me
an underpaid job
As a gas station attendee.
Against the feds' wishes,
I start moonlighting
as a waiter
Because I need
to make ends meet.
You know what I mean?
Uh-huh.
One night,
I bring menus to a table,
And I sh*t you not...
Hit "next"!
Okay, so...
[ laughter ]
His father!
That's sal's dad!
That's sal's dad.
At the table
is vincent leone,
Of the leone
crime family.
What is leone doing
in lima, ohio?
He makes me, leone,
And now I got to
re-witpro -- number three.
Yeah, yeah.
No, I get it.
Joe: [ laughing ]
"I get it."
I'm gonna tell you
A handful of my other
identities right now.
Sal, this is a timeline.
Just take her through it.
Thomas hammish --
got involved
With members
of the rival crime family.
They told the leones
my whereabouts.
Eamon grand -- had great seats
at the world series,
Was on tv basically
the whole game.
[ laughter ]
Terry leonardo --
I won the powerball.
I was on television.
They saw my face.
Right into ',
I go leo curry.
I had a girlfriend.
She wanted to get married
and I wasn't ready.
I called witpro.
They got...
[ laughter ]
You okay?
The feds did me a favor
on the last one.
And finally,
theo samuelson,
And I went viral
with a bmx --
[ muffled laugh ]
A bmx fail video?
Yeah.
[ laughter ]
Yeah.
There's no closet to hide in.
You're done!
The viral video
was an epic fail.
I fell...
Crushed nuts
and everything.
Crushed nuts hard on that.
I crushed nuts hard on that.
[ laughter ]
On a scale from to ,
What is the score
you would give this book
As far as a recommendation
to others to read?
I would give it a .
I mean...
Wow!
Wow! Sal!
I mean,
it's an unbelievable tale.
It deserves a .
Perfect score!
Narrator: Eh, fuhgeddaboudit.
Joe's tonight's big loser.
So, joe is
our loser.
Well, actually,
he was our loser,
But we already
punished him.
