    You’re sure you don’t need a grumpy old guy to carry stuff around, fix things, make useless suggestions and provide wry commentary?

    I know a guy like that whistling

    Trust me when I say I do a solid job of painting a picture of frozen hell during the interview process to see who blinks or squirms in their seat.

    Not a lot of people know James has some back office managers to help run the business and his office manager, Let’s call him Randy, created this video clip that describes some general requirements for this job posting.

    It’s more fun doing it for free less expectations. Gotta wonder how hard this is making Ben laugh. I know he will not be aloud to do interviews due to lack of him keeping his composure. But him and BK will watch from other side of a two way mirror.

    Best of luck guys hope to see you this year.
