I got into trouble for that so I started using “Hey A###oles! Listen up”
Now they don’t mind “Hey guys”!!
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

I've been using "guys" as a gender neutral term since the late eighties. I think it's ok in an informal setting.
The "recently" & "got" does make the sentence sound odd.

What about
"I understand that new credit card readers were procured by you ..."
|
|

That is so wrong. It should be: "Yo peeps, I hear you got them plastic moolah reading thingies. That's lit*"
*I have only recently learnt that this is new word for great. I could be wrong.

“Got” is right up there with “has” and “is”. At least 40 use cases.
“Gotta” is the other variant; less use cases.
In writing, I agree that there is a better replacement word 99% of the time. MS Word needs a “got” checker.

was asked to do a gig at a funeral. He was given the date, time, location and paid in advance.
Come the day of the funeral he forgot and in a rush was late.
He arrived at the cemetery and saw a big mound of dirt and decided since he had already been paid he would play anyway.
He played like it was his own parent that had been buried and was packing up to go and one of the grave diggers came over to talk to him.
He told him that he had been installing septic systems for over 40 years and that was the first time anyone had ever played for them.

Wouldn't bag pipes be more appropriate?

Very cool. Makes sense. The Wales connection. Sadly he died young as many of them did.
I still have their "Straight Up" album I purchased new in early 70's.
I was a bit poor but had to have it.

Just saw it with family. Pretty intense, good story, not the best casting, entertaining.

Decades ago I kept hearing that the original was basically a 2-hour recruitment video. I'd be curious to know if anyone was left with the same feeling this time around...

there was a bit of the flavor in the new version. The flying scenes are amazing. A little mission impossible but not so much the trickery.
