- Have you ever let somebody bribe their way into the club?
No.
- Restart.
(Mikida and Tutti laughing)
(orchestral music)
- [Director] Hello. - Hello.
- [Director] What's your name?
- Mikida.
I'm a security manager at a nightclub.
- [Director] What makes for a good employee?
- I look for people that can learn and be attentive
and can be on the same pages that I'm on.
- [Director] So you brought five employees,
and we're gonna ask you to rank them from best to worst.
- I'm gonna have a few folks mad at me, but that's okay.
I'm okay with that.
(Mikida laughs)
- [Director] You ready? - Yep, I'm ready.
Oh my God, here we go. (laughing)
- [Director] Alright, who is this?
- Oh, this is Tutti.
(Mikida and Tutti laughing)
- [Director] And what is Tutti's job description there?
- Tutti's a floater.
- Tutti's a floater, but when Kida's not there,
she's the boss.
That's what Kida said.
- I would love for Tutti to be manager with me.
Right now we just have some growth
to get to where we have to get to.
Have you ever let somebody bribe their way into the club?
- No.
- Restart.
(Mikida and Tutti laughing)
- Wait, hold on, pause.
But (bleep) is gonna see this.
- I don't give a about them seeing this.
I'm the manager, let's go. - Alright, let's go.
- Have you ever let somebody bribe their way into the club?
Yes or no?
- Yep.
- Why?
- 'Cause I have a child to feed
and they don't pay enough at the club.
That's why.
Anybody who's at the front door, they get cut out of a too.
So, huh.
- [Director] Today you're gonna have to tell your boss
if you think an individual is under or over 21.
Isaiah, go ahead and walk on in.
- How old do you think he is?
- You're a college student.
You just look like you're well put together.
I'd say you're like, 20 years old.
- So he can't come in.
- No.
Am I right?
- Yeah.
- Oh yeah? - I'm 19, but yeah.
- I knew she'd get it right.
- What gave it away?
- Honestly, it's your style.
Everybody's trying to bring their style back
from the 90's and early 2000's.
And that's what you look like you're trying to do,
so that's what I'm not letting you in the club.
- Alright.
- That's why Tutti's is the manager when I'm not there.
- What's my score?
- I'm gonna get Tutti a 10.
This is Dante.
We call him "Tay".
Have you ever hit on anybody in the club?
- Of course I have.
- I know he has.
And I know they've done the same to him.
They're not looking at him as security,
They think he's just somebody in there kicking it.
We're supposed to all wear all black,
this is what Dante wears
- What?
- to work.
Of course they trying to crack him.
He got the locs.
What do you think you could do differently?
- I think I could take less smoke breaks.
(Mikida laughing)
You know, you was worried you were gonna get me already?
- I do.
- [Director] Alright.
- I'd give him a seven.
Communication should be better.
And at some point, we do gotta be in uniform.
This my guy, Leejay.
He's my young buck.
Leejay don't mind criticism.
I could tell him something,
we'll have a dialogue about it,
he'll come back and go,
"You're right, auntie, I'm gonna be better at that."
The next day, he's better at that.
- [Director] Is he working the door?
- Uh, Leejay doesn't like the door. (laughs)
- I've tried him there. (laughs)
I'd rather people be in positions
that they are comfortable in it,
'cause they'll be their best at it.
Gimme at least three things you done did
that you know I wouldn't approve of.
- That- (laughs)
Most definitely, dancing with females on the clock.
I'm not gonna cap with you, like,
I've jumped down from the VIP and really, like,
got jiggy with the females.
- I've seen for myself, go ahead.
(Leejay sighs)
- I've let a couple people in before, I'm not gonna cap.
And I would say, last but not least, disappearing.
I disappeared a lot for a while.
For a while. - Break's for 15 minutes,
My guy's gone for 40.
- I would be gone and I don't know what I was doing.
- I have to say, "Leejay, come on back, big dog.
We got other people with breaks."
- It wasn't on purpose, I just lost track of time.
(Mikida scoffs)
- What you think my score is for you?
- [Director] That's a good question.
- Probably a five.
(Mikida laughing)
I don't know.
- I give Leejay a eight.
- I'm chill with it.
I feel like that's pretty solid, you know?
Broom and broom, you hear me?
- [Gordon] Damn!
(Mikida laughs)
- You in the hot seat.
This is Gordon.
I don't have any complaints with Gordon.
He handles the front door efficiently.
When we're in our meetings, he speaks up.
Have you ever tried to pick up any of the women
coming in and out of the club?
- Man, I can't.
I'm Samoan, right.
And my girl is Samoan too, so,
she'd hang me, really.
(Mikida laughing) For real.
It's not for me, man, you know what I mean?
I got a life to build.
- [Director] Isaiah's gonna come in
and stand in between the two of you.
- Is he 21 and older or not?
- You go to school down here in Washington
or you go to school somewhere else?
- I go to school here.
- A high school down here?
- Yeah, a while ago.
- A while ago?
Nice, he's over.
- Yeah, I'm 19.
- You 19?
- Yeah. (laughing)
- Damn - Red flag, Gordon.
You at the door, big dog.
(Mikida laughs)
- That has to lower the score, boss.
- Yeah. - Yep, that has to.
Hit me with the score.
- Uh...
I gotta drop my boy down to an eight.
- [Director] Alright. - Expect nothing less.
- [Director] Alright, thank you Gorden, come on out.
- Appreciate you, big dog, love.
(hands clap together) (slaps back)
- This is Dee.
Dee's the calmest person.
I will say he stays in his own zone.
There's been some times outside of the club
that he showed me that, like, if I need him, he got me.
I look at Dee like a little brother.
- Yeah, (laughs) that's true for sure.
- What you think your weaknesses are?
- We always got room for improvement
but I don't really have any weaknesses.
Like she said, I'm there.
- [Director] The final test, rank your boss.
- Come on. (Mikida claps)
I gotta give you a straight 10.
- Come on. (claps)
He wanted to gimme 11.
But you said one through 10.
(Dee and Mikida laughing)
He does amazing at when I ask him to do things,
I want us to get into a place where I don't have to ask.
- One through 10, what do you rank me, boss?
- I give about an eight.
- [Director] Can I get everybody to walk out there
in the order that you were ranked.
Is that where they need to be now
when you're looking at the order?
You wanna shuffle them around?
- So 10, 9, 8 and a half,
8, 7.
- [Director] Oh, that was too easy.
Put yourself in this line.
- I'm number one.
Could I say the real one?
- Big-! Listen.
If I stand on something, I stand on it.
This is my family right here.
Like, these are my people.
- [Director] Alright, good job everybody.
(group clapping)
- It's a wrap!
Can I say that?
I always wanted to say that.
It's a wrap.
