1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: So you have any big plans for the summer? Whoa, 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 1: it's one more thing. I'm strong and getty, one more thing. 3 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:18,119 Speaker 1: So we've been talking about this for years. People that 4 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,120 Speaker 1: try to engage you in conversation, like the person ringing 5 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:26,600 Speaker 1: you up at the grocery store and you know, I'm 6 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: buying some groceries. I'm buying a gallon of milk and 7 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 1: some carrots. So what are your plans for tonight? And 8 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,959 Speaker 1: I realize are you gonna drink milk and eat carrots? 9 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: That is exactly how I answer, usually because I'm a 10 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: smart ass and annoyed by these questions and I am. 11 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,239 Speaker 1: I feel bad because it's not their fault. I don't think. 12 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: I think many times you're told that that will make 13 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: the customers feel more welcome or something. And like I 14 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: said on the radio the other day, I wish there 15 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: was some sort of stamp I could get or thing 16 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: I could work around. My knackers says. I'm not one 17 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: of those people. I don't feel more likely to come 18 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: back if you engage me in conversation. I feel less 19 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 1: likely to come back. It's not your fault. 20 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 2: But although I do require the basics of polite society, 21 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 2: because occasionally you'll be in a place a grocery store, 22 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 2: maybe not so high end, or person's having a bad 23 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 2: day and they don't even acknowledge your presence. They just 24 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 2: start ringing stuff up. Did we talk about this on 25 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 2: the air or not? About the person ringing me up 26 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 2: who had the ear piece in? Did we talk about 27 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 2: that on the air? 28 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,040 Speaker 1: I don't think so. Yeah, I don't think so. I'm 29 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: at a dollar store and because I agree, hey, how 30 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: you doing good? How are you fine? Got to have 31 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: that find everything? Okay, yep, that's fine. I have no 32 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: problem with that whatsoever. The nothing is weird. And so 33 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: I was checking out the Dollar Storm with my two 34 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: boys and checking out, and I said, Hey, how's it going. 35 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: She says nothing to me and rings me up, and 36 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: I said, have a good day. She said nothing to me, 37 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: and I walked down and I said that girl shouldn't 38 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: be working there. If I owned that store, I'd be 39 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: so freaking pissed off to know that I have somebody 40 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: work in the register that doesn't even say hello. And 41 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: he said that she had her earpiece in, she's listening 42 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 1: to music. I said, called to that absolutely freaking firer. 43 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: And he said that in. My son was like really 44 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: taken aback by my response to that, Like, everybody has 45 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: their ear piece in. It's okay, it's not a big deal. 46 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: She's listening to music. And my son always has his 47 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: earpiece in, I mean always, and I have to take 48 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: it out. I want to talk to you. I want 49 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: to be able to talk to you. I want to 50 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: know when I talk to you you can hear me. 51 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: I mean if we're riding in the car or whatever, 52 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: and it's just part of that age group they have 53 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: it in always with each other. Like if there's four 54 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: dudes sitting around talking, they each have an ear piece 55 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: in listen to music. I guess, wow. I don't know 56 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: what that is, if it's just like a fashion thing, 57 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 1: or if their brain actually desires it. But I thought, 58 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: when I'm dead, and it won't be long I'm in 59 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: the winter of my life, the next generation they'll all 60 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: have ear pieces in and they won't expect any communication 61 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: whatsoever because they're all listening to music or a podcast. 62 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: And so I guess you'll go through this stort checkout 63 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: and nobody will talk to each other. You know, you 64 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: ride together in a car somewhere, nobody says a word 65 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: to each other. Because you're all listening to your own 66 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: stuff in your head. It's just gonna happen. There's no 67 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: stopping it. But it makes me nuts. But I didn't 68 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: realize it'd gotten that bad. Oh yeah, yeah, he couldn't 69 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,239 Speaker 1: believe that it bothered me that she had an ear 70 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: piece in and didn't respond to me, because that's the 71 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: way his generation does it. Yeah, it's shocking to me. 72 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I know well, and it's resulted in 73 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 2: so much unmistakable misery and isolation. I just if I'm 74 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 2: casting my bets for who's in charge of the world 75 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 2: in two hundred years, it's the young and hungry and 76 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 2: backward civilizations right now, although they may well as soon 77 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 2: as they get hold of the technology and the food. 78 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 2: I mean that every every country that goes from like 79 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 2: eleven cents per capita for GDP to like over a 80 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 2: dollar fifty, they immediately become obese and they adopt all 81 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 2: of the modern stuff that's killing us. I just think 82 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 2: we've invented our own doom. We've invented too many pleasures 83 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 2: to resist. No country for old men, right, but back 84 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 2: to like people that aren't teenagers where you expect some 85 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 2: sort of normal give and take with the cashier or 86 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 2: the dental hygh genius came up the other day, Katie 87 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 2: brought up she hates it when they ask her questions 88 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 2: when they got their hands in your mouth, because you 89 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 2: can't answer. Anyway, Katie's not here today because she's sick, 90 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 2: but we got this text about that because we were wondering. 91 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 2: I'm sure the dental high genius is told to make conversation. 92 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 2: It makes the patience feel more comfortable or something like it. 93 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: I don't know. It helps distract them from things that 94 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 1: bother you are scary or whatever. Sir, longtime listener, this 95 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: person text lived in San Francisco for twenty years. I 96 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: now live in Manhattan. Okay, wow, one of those people 97 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: that there are only really a couple places you can 98 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: live in America Los Angeles, New York, maybe San Francisco 99 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: or Chicago, but those are your only options. I know 100 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 1: a number of people like that. The only places they've 101 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: lived are those very big cities. But anyway, as a 102 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: long time dental hygienist, employers do not tell you to 103 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: engage in conversation with the patients. Some patients absolutely want 104 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: us to talk and tell them stories to take their 105 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 1: time off the process or their mind off the process. Yeah, 106 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 1: and a good one will get a sense from the 107 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,559 Speaker 1: patient whether they want to talk or be quiet, which 108 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: I do appreciate that you picked up on my hateful, hateful, 109 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: murderous vibe that I don't want to talk. I appreciate that. 110 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: It is perfect perfectly polite to tell us how you 111 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: want to experience the appointment. It's your money, your time, 112 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,919 Speaker 1: so tell them, please talk me through this, help distract me, 113 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 1: or say I'd prefer to sit here and just think 114 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: and stare at the ceiling or listen to a podcast 115 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: or something.
