合并后的第一天，布拉德接到了一位担心的女雇员的电话，她小声说：“这里有一个男人，吊带吊架手里拿着棒球棍走来走去，挥杆了。”事实证明，卡林的首席执行官杰里米·弗洛默（Jeremy Frowmer），无论他是其他什么，他都不是不错的。弗洛默（Former）的标志性姿势之一是脚踩在他的桌子上，棒球棒摇摇晃晃地摇摆着他的头，而有些可怜的鞋类家伙试图抛光鞋子。
(The first day after the merger, Brad got a call from a worried female employee, who whispered, "There is a guy in here with suspenders walking around with a baseball bat in his hands, taking swings." That turned out to be Carlin's CEO, Jeremy Frommer, who, whatever else he was, was not RBC nice. One of Frommer's signature poses was feet up on his desk, baseball bat swinging wildly over his head while some poor shoeshine guy tried to polish his shoes.)
