00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 3: with or it's like it's like, uh, that one episode

163
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 3: SpongeBob where like everything's on fire and nothing's working, and

164
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 3: they're just like, oh, like that's what's gonna.

165
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 4: Let's take the tone and move it over somewhere else.

166
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 4: Let's take let's take our bigotry and move it in

167
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 4: with you. That's exactly what's happening here.

168
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: I asked him why he wanted my help, and he

169
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: told me that I should want to support my parents

170
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: the way they supported me growing up.

171
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 3: Dude, screw you, screw you the frick out of you.

172
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 3: I'm gonna bob the builder it and screw you twice

173
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 3: because holy shit, Like what I mean? I guess they

174
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 3: supported for what the eighteen years?

175
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, like you as a baby, and then it's like.

176
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 3: The ending that you remember, you know, it's yeah, you

177
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 3: remember exactly.

178
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: I replied, saying that maybe if they're support of me

179
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: hadn't ended the moment I told them I was a lesbian.

180
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 2: Yes, I'd be willing to help am out.

181
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 3: Yes, simple, Just like I just don't know how they

182
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 3: don't recognize that they were assholes. What is the response, John? Like,

183
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 3: what what what can they possibly say?

184
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 2: Are you ready?

185
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 4: Are you ready?

186
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: I continue to say, I'd be willing to help them,

187
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: but unfortunately they made their bed themselves so they can

188
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: lay in it too, and I hung up, so no

189
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: chance to respond.

190
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 3: Just sweet. Must have been sweet saying that, like throwing

191
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 3: their words back in their face like all those years later, like.

192
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: That like the nuclear revenge is nuclear?

193
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, revenge activator.

194
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: But then he left me a voicemail calling me selfish

195
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:45,359
Speaker 1: and cruel for using their financial struggles to prove a point.

196
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 2: How dare you, bro?

197
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 3: I mean, you like came out of the blue only

198
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 3: once you were financially struggling, and because OP is doing

199
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 3: well after a decade, mooch off of yeah, come on

200
00:10:58,679 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 3: with your high.

201
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: Horse for reals. Maybe it's cool. I don't know, but

202
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: there isn't edit.

203
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 3: Okay.

204
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: I did send my mom an email with a bunch

205
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: of links to soup kitchens, food pantries, housing assistants, et cetera,

206
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: et cetera. Then I blocked her and my dad. I

207
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: might even change my number if they try calling again,

208
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: but for now I'm gonna leave it as it is.

209
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 2: Wow.

210
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 3: I love that, Like I feel like the soup kitchen

211
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 3: fucking email is pretty pretty freaking uh rough, dude, that's

212
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 3: like that's like a little knife twist and.

213
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 2: Kind at the same time at the same time.

214
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 3: Kind of yeah, yeah, kind of kind of.

215
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna get into our decisions. But you'all tell us

216
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: in the comments, was Ope the angel was OPI the

217
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: a hole? Were the parents the a holes or the angels?

218
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 1: You let us know? But Sam, bring us into the breakdown?

219
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: What do you got for me?

220
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 3: I mean, I think it's kind of clear cut, like

221
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 3: the parents are definitely the assholes, man. Sure, Like if

222
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 3: if freaking the if op was a saint, maybe she

223
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 3: would help the parents out. But it's also like, you know,

224
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 3: there's a point when someone has hurt you so badly

225
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 3: that like you you just can't let them into your

226
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 3: life again. You know. It's like truly like like and

227
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 3: and actually like the the best thing to you for

228
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 3: you to do if you're trying to help as many

229
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 3: people as possible, right, if you're trying to be like

230
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 3: the best person you can be to the most amount

231
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 3: of people, is to cut that cancer out of your life.

232
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 3: And it sounds like these like the Opie's parents are

233
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 3: are just cancerous. Like I feel like having that kind

234
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 3: of energy around her would infect all of her other relationships,

235
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 3: like like it would it would. I don't think it

236
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 3: would make I think it would make it could It

237
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 3: could possibly make her a worse person having them in,

238
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,079
Speaker 3: just like the with the mental tax that would take

239
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 3: to have someone that just like so it just has

240
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 3: so much hatred and their heart. So I do not

241
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 3: think OPI is an a hole at all. I think

242
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 3: the parents deserve everything that they got, and I don't

243
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 3: I think like after ten years, I mean, these people

244
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 3: are basically strangers to her, like literally not even strangers,

245
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 3: almost like enemies, like almost like yeah, like yeah it

246
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 3: these people are these people are bad.

247
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, And so.

248
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 3: I don't think op owes them, owes them anything. And

249
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 3: the fact that she gave them links, you know, has

250
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 3: something like that. That's I mean, I think that's a

251
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 3: baby a little that even I feel like that's like,

252
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 3: uh maybe a little petty, but like she has every

253
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 3: right to do that, you know, this is her moment.

254
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 3: They get a little revenge, I don't I don't think

255
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 3: it's done out of it.

256
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: I don't even think yeah, yeah, yeah, it's kind of

257
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: like the final Yeah, the final Bird exactly.

258
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 3: It's it's it's almost like uh uh like fuck, like

259
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 3: I don't know, I can't think of what you're trying

260
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 3: to say.

261
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: I can't think either. But yeah, it's like, yeah, it's

262
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: killing them with kindness a little bit.

263
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 2: Uh, But I don't.

264
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 3: Think it's not I don't think it's necessarily kind It's

265
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 3: like it's like, uh, I feel like it's like someone

266
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 3: like who who you has been like mean to you

267
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 3: or something, or has wronged you in some way asking

268
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 3: to borrow your car and then you being like, oh,

269
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 3: uh no, but here's a link to enterprise, you know,

270
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 3: like like those people probably know about those those resources

271
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 3: or whatever. Like it it's not a it's not a

272
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 3: bad thing whatsoever. Yeah, Like I like, I don't think

273
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 3: like OP has every right to do that, but it

274
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 3: definitely is a little a little petty.

275
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

276
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: And you know, it would be the slightest slightly different

277
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: if the parents came and they were like, hey, we

278
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: haven't talked to ten years. We want to get like

279
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: if it wasn't the.

280
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, or or if they just said like, hey, we

281
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 3: didn't realize how terrible we were being in the moment

282
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 3: and like we've like done a lot of like work

283
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 3: on our own and come to the you know, just

284
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 3: like the realization that we treated you poorly, and then

285
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 3: like even like that set up would have been a

286
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 3: little bit better than straight up asking for money. Yeah, yeah,

287
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 3: it might have been a little bit like trans Yeah.

288
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't even have to give him a chance necessarily,

289
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: but at least at least that is like they just

290
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: straight up were like, let us stay at your place.

291
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 3: We ain't got we need money. Yeah. No, that that

292
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 3: was pretty shitty. That was pretty shitty. Well, clear hole,

293
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 3: the parents are ricked, definitely, the ale OPI has had

294
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 3: to endure so much. But again, let us know what

295
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 3: you think. Put it in the comments. We don't know

296
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 3: much about anything, so I'll post us or roast us

297
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 3: right now.

298
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: Am I the a hole for perpetuating ethnic stereotypes about jorts?

299

Speaker 3: Okayop, this is Okayop. I'm Samuel don I'm John Fry,

00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: but it was like it was right for yeah, like

318
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 1: early twenty twenty, early twenty twenty. Okay, okay, okay, Well, honestly, Sam,

319
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: I think I think you're going to get there one day.

320
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 2: I think it's going to happen. I think it's gonna happen.

321
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 3: Send me to Japan.

322
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,360
Speaker 1: The other thing that's going to happen is, uh, we're

323
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: about to read a entertaining ass story. Let's do it

324
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: for our wonderful audience.

325
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 2: Members.

326
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 1: Here, am I the a hole for perpetuating ethnic stereotypes

327
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 1: about Georg's.

328
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 3: What ethnic stereotypes are there about Jeords?

329
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: I can promise you this story is absolutely not at

330
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: all what you are going to expect.

331
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 3: Okay, it is, I'm not what you would expect, buckling in, buckle,

332
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 3: I'm ready to go there. Let's get on with the show.

333
00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 2: Here we go.

334
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,719
Speaker 1: We have two workplace cats on the area of our

335
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: work site. They add value on the work site. We

336
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: all love cats, and the work site cat presence is

337
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: not the issue in the story.

338
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm I'm glad to know that the cats are

339
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 3: all right.

340
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: One of the cats Gene has is a tortoiseshell cat,

341
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: so you know, like the nice like tortoiseshelling that we've

342
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: had for the past few years. The other cat is

343
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: a new addition. He's a large orange cat and his

344
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: name is Georts.

345
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 3: Georgs. Wait, so the cat is Georts, the cat is Jorts.

346
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 2: We're not talking about Geene Shorts, ladies and gentlemen.

347
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: We're talking about a big fat orange cat.

348
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 3: Okay, Garfield in the house.

349
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 1: Georts is just kind of a let's say, simple guy. Oh,

350
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: for example, Georts can't open a door even when it's

351
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: a jar. He shoves it whether he's going in or out,

352
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: so often that he closes it.

353
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 2: Trying to open it.

354
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: Oh no, This means he often gets trapped inside the

355
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: place he was trying to exit, and mews and mews

356
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 1: until he is rescued.

357
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 3: Georgs, come on, Gey, keep fire up. Some more brain cells, Fire.

358
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 2: Up, some more brain cells.

359
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: Now, my colleague Pam not her real name, has been

360
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: spending a lot of time trying to cheach Georts different things.

361
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: The door thing is the main example. It's a real

362
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: issue because the cats are fed in the closet and

363
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: Georts keeps pushing the door closed on himself. Jene can

364
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 1: actually open all interior doors since they have a lever

365
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: type knob, so the other cats freaking using the.

366
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 3: Knock Einstein of cats and Georts is not.

367
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 4: Not so much.

368
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: But Jean can't open this particular door if she is

369
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 1: also trapped inside the closet. Gene is very nice to

370
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: pour poor dumb orange Jorts, and she is kept busy

371
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: by letting him out of rooms that he has.

372
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 2: Trapped himself in.

373
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 3: So this teamwork.

374
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: It's teamwork, right, Cat teamwork, so the issue seemed pretty

375
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: easy to resolve.

376
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 2: I put down a doorstep to leave the door open.

377
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 3: Wow engineering, Marvel, marvel over here.

378
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,719
Speaker 1: Pam then said I was depriving Jorts of his chance

379
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: to learn.

380
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 3: Wait wait, wait, Pam is like, let Jeorts suffer.

381
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 2: No, no, no, she wants Jeorts to learn the hard way.

382
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 3: Let George suffer by getting stuck.

383
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, let him suffer and eventually learned by necessity. So

384
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 1: Pam kept removing the doorstop. She set up a series

385
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: of special learning activities for Jeorts and tried to put

386
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: each of these tasks on a whiteboard of daily team tasks,

387
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: which I erased. Okay, she thinks we need to teach

388
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: him how to clean himself better, how to get out

389
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 1: of minor barriers, like when he gets its head, like

390
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: when he gets his head stuck in a cup.

391
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,199
Speaker 3: I like this workplace. Beef and drama is about like

392
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 3: teaching this cat how to not be stupid.

393
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: And Sam, I can promise you it's only going to

394
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: get exponentially worse ways you would not have expected.

395
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:17,360
Speaker 3: All right, let's see it.

396
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 1: I love Jorts, but he's dumb af and we can't

397
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: change that. Now, don't get me wrong. Watching her try

398
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: to teach Jorts how to walk through a door is hilarious.

399
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: But Jean got locked in the closet twice this week.

400
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: Yesterday I installed a cat cutout thing in the door,

401
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: and Pam started to get really haffy.

402
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 3: Why is Pam trying to make everything so hard? Pam

403
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 3: really does is just a simple idiot. She does the

404
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 3: absolute most.

405
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: I made a gentle joke about you can't expect Jean's

406
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: tortoiseshell smarts from orange cats like Jorts, which made Pam furious.

407
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 2: Oh no, he really did it this time.

408
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 1: She burst out crying and ran and left through the hallway,

409
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: and then sent an email to the group including volunteers

410
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: and went home early.

411
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 3: What all? Because he's like, orange cats are dumb? And

412
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 3: here and here we go.

413
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 1: Here's the cream on the cake, the the just the

414
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: piece of resistance. In her email, Pam said I was

415
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 1: quote perpetching ethnic stereotypes by saying orange cats are dumb?

416
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 3: What wait? I was joking. She actually said that.

417
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: And in the email she also demanded racial sensitivity training

418
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: for the cats.

419
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 3: It's a wait for for the cats or for the

420
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 3: people about the cats. I'm imagining like these two cats

421
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 3: sitting in front of a TV like, don't discriminate, I

422
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 3: got your orange counterparts.

423
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 1: Hello everyone, today we're talking about catism.

424
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 2: Furism.

425
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 3: The cats.

426
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: Furism perhaps because it's not like, you know, skin, they

427
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: don't have skin color, they have fur color. And she's

428
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: demanding that we complete all of this before she returns

429
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: to work for the off for the company.

430
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 3: Again, this is ridiculous. This is so ridiculous.

431
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 1: I don't think it's relevant, but just in case, Pam

432
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 1: is a white person in a mostly minority staff and no,

433
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: she is not a ginger.

434
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 2: Does not have red hair.

435
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 3: I love asked to clarify she's not a ginger.

436
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 2: So the question is am I the a hole?

437
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 6: No?

438
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 2: What quick story?

439
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: Before I was building a podcast business, my little entrepreneurial

440
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: booty was selling stuff online in middle school and high school.

441
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 2: It was me and my mommy.

442
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: We'd be in the garage selling all kinds of stuff

443
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: and I hated shipping. But you know what changed the

444
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 1: game for me? Ship station And if y'all are selling

445
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: anything online, you have to use this platform, so it

446
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: pulls in all the sales from all the platforms you're

447
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: selling on eBay Amazon over one hundred others, and it

448
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: automates the shipping tasks like I cannot tell you how

449
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: satisfying it is not have to do all that stuff,

450
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: and it literally price compares all the shipping services, so

451
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: you end up saving so much money. I'm talking over

452
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: eighty percent on USPS and ups.

453
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,800
