00:00.000 --> 00:05.000
So Jacob asked Jason to make a quick LinkedIn post.

1
00:05.000 --> 00:07.500
He says it is only an appetiser.

2
00:07.500 --> 00:10.500
Just something short to continue the story.

3
00:11.000 --> 00:16.000
Then he tells everyone I have confirmed the HYLINE-R specifications.

4
00:17.500 --> 00:21.500
The product doesn't even exist yet!

5
00:21.500 --> 00:24.000
I just...

6
00:29.500 --> 00:31.000
...made it up

7
00:31.000 --> 00:34.500
Before I know it, Jason sends me a datasheet for it.

8
00:38.000 --> 00:40.000
3 pages!

9
00:41.000 --> 00:47.640
It has torque figures, model numbers and certifications.

10
00:47.640 --> 00:50.750
He had started creating a portuguese version.

11
00:50.750 --> 00:56.000
The product name was something I typed into Teams as a placeholder.

12
00:58.000 --> 00:59.500
They'd "fleshed it out"

13
00:59.500 --> 01:01.500
using ChatGPT I think.

14
01:04.200 --> 01:06.000
ChatGPT for fucks sake!

15
01:06.590 --> 01:08.500
Have you heard anything like it?

16
01:13.000 --> 01:14.500
Fuck me.

17
01:14.500 --> 01:16.500
I tell them the specification is wrong.

18
01:16.500 --> 01:20.000
There are four versions in SharePoint.

19
01:21.000 --> 01:27.000
FINAL, FINAL REV A, FINAL NEW, and FINAL USE THIS.pdf

20
01:35.000 --> 01:36.500
Jacob is calling Chris.

21
01:36.500 --> 01:39.700
Chris is calling Jason.

22
01:41.000 --> 01:44.000
Jason is asking Michael.

23
01:44.000 --> 01:47.000
Michael comes over to me.

24
01:47.000 --> 01:49.000
Meanwhile, Jacob is spiralling.

25
01:50.000 --> 01:53.000
"LinkedIn is important"

26
01:54.750 --> 01:56.000
Mission critical...

27
01:56.000 --> 01:58.000
...or some shit!

28
01:58.000 --> 02:02.500
Informing global markets of non-existent products...

29
02:05.000 --> 02:07.000
Nutter!

30
02:10.000 --> 02:11.000
Starts talking...

31
02:11.000 --> 02:13.000
about...

32
02:15.000 --> 02:17.000
low-hanging fruit.

33
02:17.000 --> 02:20.750
for the umpteenth time that week.

34
02:21.000 --> 02:28.000
We make high-performance engineering solutions for the oil and gas industry!.

35
02:29.000 --> 02:30.000
So did they post it?

36
02:30.000 --> 02:32.800
Yeah they did!

37
02:36.900 --> 02:39.800
Somehow, Kalam has already sold 5 in Oman!

38
02:40.000 --> 02:42.750
Somewhere in Upper Zakum

39
02:50.750 --> 02:55.000
Now we have to engineer the bastard thing.

40
02:56.689 --> 02:58.189
What's next for you?

41
02:58.189 --> 03:04.000
Naturally, I'll have to start making more shit up.

42
03:04.000 --> 03:09.000
At first I just wanted to mess with Jacob, but then we started selling them.

43
03:09.000 --> 03:11.500
I should tell him my other idea.

44
03:16.689 --> 03:20.000
I'm calling it "OnlyFlange"

45
03:23.900 --> 03:26.500
Can you imagine what they'd say...

46
03:31.000 --> 03:36.500
Andrew would kill me if he knew how we worked!
