00:02:00 - 00:02:09 | Speaker 3:

this is like an orgasm in a cup

00:02:09 - 00:02:14 | Speaker 5:

showtime

00:02:23 - 00:02:53 | Unknown:

We'll be right back.

00:02:53 - 00:04:41 | Speaker 3:

all right it is mojo in the morning could your emoji that you attach to a co-worker's text message get you fired well it definitely could get you and land you in hot water it's interesting how using smiley emojis at work could actually get you in hot water or give you a different perception of uh from people story is uh is trending this morning amy worley is a communications expert and she said that emojis are a great way to have people get reminded about your feelings but they're also a bad way to show yours and sometimes the emoji that you use could actually be misconstrued by a co-worker and i sometimes will you know have used the wrong emoji Thinking it was the right emoji Like the different crying emoji You know what I mean Spike actually got me on this one There was a sad story And there was a crying sad emoji And then there was a crying Laughing so hard emoji And I used the wrong emoji The slightly smiling emoji A study gave this example As one of those ones That could actually get you in trouble The slightly smiling emoji indicates general positivity for 39 percent of people while 14 percent of respondents found it gave a bit of deep exasperation and distrust all right okay the laughing crying face emoji

00:04:41 - 00:04:43 | Speaker 2:

I use that one a lot

00:04:43 - 00:04:59 | Speaker 3:

which now means dead and replaced in the skull emoji it definitely resulted in some misinterpretations according to her where some people have used that particular emoji that laughing crying face emoji and they

00:05:00 - 00:05:03 | Speaker 2:

It felt like they were being mocked. They actually looked at it as a mocking.

00:05:05 - 00:05:19 | Speaker 4:

I'm just, I'm going through my text. Are we overly sensitive or what? Yes, we are. I'm going through my text with Tony Travato, our boss, to just say like what emojis I've been using lately. Lots of crying and laughing. Lots of crying and laughing. Do you do the upside down smiley face?

00:05:21 - 00:05:34 | Speaker 2:

Well, that's interesting. The upside down smiley face, according to her, could be turned into a way of saying that you think that they are not somebody that is trustworthy or on the right path.

00:05:35 - 00:05:39 | Speaker 3:

Would you call it being overly sensitive or just adapting to new communication?

00:05:40 - 00:05:40 | Speaker 2:

I don't know.

00:05:40 - 00:05:47 | Speaker 3:

I don't think it's being sensitive. I think if you don't know the context clues, you can really do some damage with your words.

00:05:47 - 00:05:49 | Speaker 2:

Well, they're not words. They're emojis.

00:05:49 - 00:06:02 | Speaker 3:

Yeah, but our new form of communication is using emojis as words. Back in the day, they used to use hieroglyphics in the caves, and they told stories. It was communicating. This is our new cave hieroglyphics, our emojis.

00:06:02 - 00:06:07 | Speaker 2:

Yeah, but you didn't see a caveman flipping out because a smiley face was upside down. You know what I mean?

00:06:07 - 00:06:10 | Speaker 3:

Maybe they did. Maybe they did. You don't know.

00:06:11 - 00:06:13 | Speaker 2:

How about the tongue-out emoji? Ever use the tongue-out emoji?

00:06:13 - 00:06:14 | Speaker 3:

Yeah.

00:06:14 - 00:06:36 | Speaker 2:

The tongue-out emoji was once used to represent playful, cheeky joking. Yeah. Well, now Gen Zers have added a double meaning to what was once an innocent emoji. The new meaning of the tongue out emoji is playful sexiness. And the tongue out emoji actually could get you brought before human resources for using that.

00:06:36 - 00:06:37 | Speaker 4:

I feel like I've used that one a lot, too.

00:06:37 - 00:06:37 | Speaker 2:

Do you?

00:06:37 - 00:06:53 | Speaker 4:

I've got to go back. I don't know. And, you know, what else is like the hearts and every color means something else. And sometimes people will ding me for that. And I'm like, look, I used that color heart to match the picture that I'm captioning. Like, it means nothing.

00:06:54 - 00:07:51 | Speaker 2:

Well, we all know about the peach emoji and we all know about the eggplant emoji, right? No, what's that mean? Well, how about the poop emoji? So the poop emoji is another one that you got to be really careful. Used now, you sometimes use it as, you know, crap or whatever. Or the Gen Zers are using it in text arguments to call another person a piece of spit. Oh, yeah. And when the poop emoji is used, sometimes people will misconstrue it, even though the conversation is actually playful in the beginning. Once the poop emoji comes out, you're basically calling them out, calling them a piece of spit. So, I don't know, Megan. I agree that we need to adapt with times, but then I also think, well, these are like goofy little things that we're, you know what I mean? Like maybe people are, maybe people need, here, how about this? Pick up the phone and make a phone call and talk to them.

00:07:51 - 00:07:53 | Speaker 3:

No, I will never do that.

00:07:53 - 00:07:56 | Speaker 2:

Yeah. Like let's have, let's have just a conversation with them.

00:07:56 - 00:08:02 | Speaker 4:

I still maintain GIFs are superior to emojis anyway, so just choose a good GIF and you'll be good to know.

00:08:02 - 00:08:06 | Speaker 2:

Well, that's the other thing that's going to probably come out then is GIF emojis will be.

00:08:06 - 00:08:08 | Speaker 4:

Like, is that inappropriate to send a GIF to your boss?

00:08:08 - 00:08:11 | Speaker 2:

Yeah. You sent me Jim from The Office. I don't like that.

00:08:12 - 00:08:22 | Speaker 3:

We work at a very, luckily, unprofessional industry. What kind of real business people are sending emojis to? That seems super unprofessional.

00:08:22 - 00:08:25 | Speaker 2:

Amy, what did your boss do? Your voices guys, by the way.

00:08:26 - 00:08:54 | Speaker 1:

Yes, I am a voice of your guys. Thank you. Yes, very professional business. And he sent me multiple texts with a kissy face emoji. We communicate a lot about schedules. and it would be like, hey, I need you for this and that. Thanks, kissy face. And I would have no idea how to respond. I mean, I finally got the guts to say something. My husband wanted to kill him. But, yes, it was very unprofessional and very awkward feeling. See, that's interesting.

00:08:55 - 00:09:04 | Speaker 4:

Yeah, because, Amy, like, you know, we're all saying, oh, it's just an emoji, who cares? But if my boss sent me a kissy face emoji, I might be wearing it out. Yeah.

00:09:05 - 00:09:05 | Speaker 2:

What was it?

00:09:06 - 00:09:27 | Speaker 1:

So weirded out. And then to have to go in and, like, work and be like, yeah, hi, yep, I got your text. Okay, yep, I'll be in. Yeah. To see these patients. Okay, yep. And then go in and have to work. And then, you know, like, the first time I ignored it and, like, okay, all right, maybe it was an accident. You know? Can I ask? You're happy or, you know, and I didn't want to make it awkward. Maybe he meant to send the smiley one and hit the wrong one.

00:09:27 - 00:09:32 | Speaker 2:

Yeah, can I ask you a question? What was the conversation like where a kissy face emoji would come out?

00:09:33 - 00:09:54 | Speaker 1:

I, that's the thing. So I'm a physical therapist, and so we communicate a lot regarding people that are coming in. So when I would have to come in, he would let me know when patients are coming in. And that's all that it was. I was like, hey, I have three admits that came in today. This is what I need, you know, you to see. And I was like, okay, yep, all right. And then that's all it was, which stinks. Kissy face. And I was like, oh.

00:09:54 - 00:09:59 | Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's not good. And I can see where your husband would be upset about that. What's up, Jess?

00:10:00 - 00:10:26 | Speaker 6:

hey i'm just calling in to defend megan sure thank you it seems it seems like back in the day you know with ancient hieroglyphics uh people would always be communicating in different forms so it wasn't just hieroglyphics but if a king would march into somebody's land and trespass or uh leave like a i was here symbol they would get pretty upset

00:10:26 - 00:10:28 | Speaker 1:

Suck it, everybody.

00:10:29 - 00:10:31 | Speaker 3:

Upside-down smiley face, though.

00:10:32 - 00:10:42 | Speaker 1:

Well, it could have been a handprint. Like, you don't know. Like, you don't know. Why can't you guys just say, good point, Megan. Why is that so hard? You guys are a match made in heaven.

00:10:42 - 00:10:48 | Speaker 4:

Megan, does this guy turn you on with the way that he not only defended you, but he also, like, what he's talked about.

00:10:49 - 00:10:54 | Speaker 1:

He knows his history. He's knowledgeable. He's a smart man. We'll take him. Jesse, are you single?

00:10:56 - 00:11:08 | Speaker 4:

yeah yeah kissy face emoji your way unless you're going to be upset by it we don't want you to be upset by uh voices guys chris what's up chris hi how are you guys we're good what's

00:11:08 - 00:11:25 | Speaker 5:

00:11:25 - 00:11:36 | Speaker 4:

00:11:36 - 00:11:54 | Speaker 5:

um no she i'm just kind of the clown at work i can be very professional but i'm also just kind of a jokester she didn't really say anything back and then uh the next day i sent back um Are you going to answer my questions? Side-eye smiley.

00:11:54 - 00:12:00 | Speaker 4:

Oh, no. You wanted to get fired. You just kept pushing. Actually, Chris, you probably realized they ain't firing you nowadays.

00:12:01 - 00:12:02 | Speaker 5:

I'm an asset.

00:12:03 - 00:12:03 | Speaker 4:

Yeah.

00:12:03 - 00:12:05 | Speaker 1:

Do you always know what a personality hire is?

00:12:06 - 00:12:08 | Speaker 4:

What's that? A personality hire?

00:12:08 - 00:12:13 | Speaker 1:

It's just the person that got hired into their position. Like, to keep everyone laughing, to keep their morale up in the building.

00:12:13 - 00:12:15 | Speaker 4:

Are you a personality hire, Chris?

00:12:17 - 00:12:34 | Speaker 5:

I don't think so originally. But at this point, I think it helps the morale. And at this point, they're just keeping me for personality. I like to think that I'm funny. Usually I'm the only one laughing, but sometimes I'll get a good joke out there, too.

00:12:35 - 00:12:39 | Speaker 4:

That's funny. Thank you for the call. I appreciate it. Take care, Chris.

00:12:39 - 00:12:40 | Speaker 5:

Thank you, guys.

00:12:42 - 00:12:46 | Speaker 4:

All right. No emojis anymore. I'm not emoji-ing anymore.

00:12:46 - 00:12:47 | Speaker 1:

Oh, I'm using more emojis.

00:12:49 - 00:12:53 | Speaker 4:

I don't want to get ourselves into any trouble here, Megan.

00:12:54 - 00:13:24 | Speaker 1:

Why did you say Megan at the end? Ladies and gentlemen, this is Mojo trying to poke the bear. He was like, oh, she's up. I've been good all week. Can't I be good all week? Okay, I'm sorry. Can I be good? Let me calm down for a second. Can I be good all week? You are such a liar saying that you've been good all week while you've been poking at me literally every day starting at 555. like literally every day and then you you do this nice little segment and at the very end you go

00:13:24 - 00:13:32 | Speaker 4:

right Megan you're so rude where's Chris at Chris that guy call us back I want I want you to come

00:13:32 - 00:13:37 | Speaker 1:

the way when when that guy Chris jumped on and goes I'd like to defend Megan Megan's like really

00:13:41 - 00:13:45 | Speaker 1:
