New Year, same extra value meals at McDonald's. So now get two snack wraps plus fries and a medium soft drink for just $8 for a limited time only. Prices and participation may vary. Prices may be higher in Hawaii, Alaska, California and for Delivery.

Unemployment hit 4.6% and AI string out resumes before a human ever sees them. So now job seekers are getting creative. I remember once I was looking for a job. I want a KFI in Los Angeles to hire me, okay? I sat in the lobby at KFI. I got there at 8 in the morning with a box of donuts. And I said, you know, they said the program director would have a few minutes for you. I sat there all day. At lunch, he passed by me, didn't even say hello. And at five o' clock they said, kim, you gotta go. He just doesn't have time for you.

3:51

Were you perturbed? Were you like, okay, this is part of the game. I gotta try again tomorrow. What was your, what was your attitude?

4:25

What a jerk face. Okay, okay.

4:33

So that's not gonna get you the.

4:35

Job, by the way. So I came back to Phoenix and I went to Goodwill and I bought a size 13 men's working boots and got the right foot. I put it in a box with that time. It was a CD of the show with the whole pitch package. And I put a clever note in there, said, at least I have one Foot in the door. He didn't call, didn't think. I said to the, I called the gal. I said, did he get my box? She said, yes. She said, everybody thought it was funny. Didn't do anything. Now this sink guy is a consultant who calls me and I won't take his phone calls.

4:37

Good job.

Way to get back at him like jerk face. Job seekers are heading to Tinder. Yes. They found over 2,000 people in this recent survey. 34% are using dating apps for job hunting. And the stats are pretty wild. 39% get interviews. 37% get actual job offers. 58% end up in a relationship with their networking match.

5:12

But there's no, there's no job offerings on Tinder.

5:38

No. They go find somebody, like on LinkedIn and looked at their title and stuff, and then they go try to stalk that person on Tinder. Oh, and then they say, hey, hi. You know, would you like to, you know, you want to hook up and.

5:41

Then hook me up with a job?

5:53

Yes.

5:54

Yes.

5:54

Nothing says desperate job market like having to explain to your parents, you know, I met my boss on Tinder.

5:55

I could be wrong, but I believe.

That'S called prostitution or at least sexual harassment at some level. So, tech companies are known for their office perks. Massages, ping pong tables, free childcare, dry cleaning, car washes, gym memberships. Do you know what the newest perk is? Ice cream machines, nicotine patches.

6:02

That's a bit overboard.

6:26

Yep. They have installed vending machines stocked with them. Just hit a button, you grab a pouch. An Austin startup founder by the name of Alex Cohen noticed that his engineers were using him, thought, hmm, they're productive. Maybe there's something here. So he bought some as a joke. Then the whole office got addicted. So now his company has a dedicated nick fridge. These are pouches that can hook people, raise your blood pressure, and then potentially increase heart attack and stroke risk.

6:28

That's unbelievable. That's like in the 1960s on the mad Men. They smoking all the time, put a carton of cigarettes on the desk and said, let's get to work, boys.

6:53

And also a bottle of whiskey. Yeah, those were the good old days. They were. Hey, but at least they're getting more work done before the whole cardiac event.
