WEBVTT - Soooo...Any Plans for the Summer?

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.040
<v Speaker 1>So you have any big plans for the summer? Whoa,

0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:07.960
<v Speaker 1>it's one more thing. I'm strong and getty, one more thing.

0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:18.119
<v Speaker 1>So we've been talking about this for years. People that

0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:22.120
<v Speaker 1>try to engage you in conversation, like the person ringing

0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:26.600
<v Speaker 1>you up at the grocery store and you know, I'm

0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:29.760
<v Speaker 1>buying some groceries. I'm buying a gallon of milk and

0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:33.880
<v Speaker 1>some carrots. So what are your plans for tonight? And

0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:36.959
<v Speaker 1>I realize are you gonna drink milk and eat carrots?

0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:40.519
<v Speaker 1>That is exactly how I answer, usually because I'm a

0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:42.760
<v Speaker 1>smart ass and annoyed by these questions and I am.

0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:45.239
<v Speaker 1>I feel bad because it's not their fault. I don't think.

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:50.000
<v Speaker 1>I think many times you're told that that will make

0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 1>the customers feel more welcome or something. And like I

0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:55.240
<v Speaker 1>said on the radio the other day, I wish there

0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:57.120
<v Speaker 1>was some sort of stamp I could get or thing

0:00:57.160 --> 0:00:59.400
<v Speaker 1>I could work around. My knackers says. I'm not one

0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:02.920
<v Speaker 1>of those people. I don't feel more likely to come

0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:05.360
<v Speaker 1>back if you engage me in conversation. I feel less

0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:07.320
<v Speaker 1>likely to come back. It's not your fault.

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:11.720
<v Speaker 2>But although I do require the basics of polite society,

0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:16.120
<v Speaker 2>because occasionally you'll be in a place a grocery store,

0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 2>maybe not so high end, or person's having a bad

0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.399
<v Speaker 2>day and they don't even acknowledge your presence. They just

0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:25.039
<v Speaker 2>start ringing stuff up. Did we talk about this on

0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:27.760
<v Speaker 2>the air or not? About the person ringing me up

0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 2>who had the ear piece in? Did we talk about

0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:30.120
<v Speaker 2>that on the air?

0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:32.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so. Yeah, I don't think so. I'm

0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:35.959
<v Speaker 1>at a dollar store and because I agree, hey, how

0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:39.520
<v Speaker 1>you doing good? How are you fine? Got to have

0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 1>that find everything? Okay, yep, that's fine. I have no

0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 1>problem with that whatsoever. The nothing is weird. And so

0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:48.640
<v Speaker 1>I was checking out the Dollar Storm with my two

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 1>boys and checking out, and I said, Hey, how's it going.

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:54.800
<v Speaker 1>She says nothing to me and rings me up, and

0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:56.800
<v Speaker 1>I said, have a good day. She said nothing to me,

0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:01.200
<v Speaker 1>and I walked down and I said that girl shouldn't

0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:03.240
<v Speaker 1>be working there. If I owned that store, I'd be

0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:08.200
<v Speaker 1>so freaking pissed off to know that I have somebody

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:10.600
<v Speaker 1>work in the register that doesn't even say hello. And

0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:12.720
<v Speaker 1>he said that she had her earpiece in, she's listening

0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:16.640
<v Speaker 1>to music. I said, called to that absolutely freaking firer.

0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:19.320
<v Speaker 1>And he said that in. My son was like really

0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:22.160
<v Speaker 1>taken aback by my response to that, Like, everybody has

0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 1>their ear piece in. It's okay, it's not a big deal.

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:27.960
<v Speaker 1>She's listening to music. And my son always has his

0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:30.040
<v Speaker 1>earpiece in, I mean always, and I have to take

0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:32.480
<v Speaker 1>it out. I want to talk to you. I want

0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:33.560
<v Speaker 1>to be able to talk to you. I want to

0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:34.960
<v Speaker 1>know when I talk to you you can hear me.

0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean if we're riding in the car or whatever,

0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:40.720
<v Speaker 1>and it's just part of that age group they have

0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:44.680
<v Speaker 1>it in always with each other. Like if there's four

0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:47.640
<v Speaker 1>dudes sitting around talking, they each have an ear piece

0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:51.320
<v Speaker 1>in listen to music. I guess, wow. I don't know

0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:53.960
<v Speaker 1>what that is, if it's just like a fashion thing,

0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:58.639
<v Speaker 1>or if their brain actually desires it. But I thought,

0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 1>when I'm dead, and it won't be long I'm in

0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:04.160
<v Speaker 1>the winter of my life, the next generation they'll all

0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:06.560
<v Speaker 1>have ear pieces in and they won't expect any communication

0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:10.200
<v Speaker 1>whatsoever because they're all listening to music or a podcast.

0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:12.560
<v Speaker 1>And so I guess you'll go through this stort checkout

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:15.000
<v Speaker 1>and nobody will talk to each other. You know, you

0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:17.440
<v Speaker 1>ride together in a car somewhere, nobody says a word

0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:18.840
<v Speaker 1>to each other. Because you're all listening to your own

0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:20.919
<v Speaker 1>stuff in your head. It's just gonna happen. There's no

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:25.000
<v Speaker 1>stopping it. But it makes me nuts. But I didn't

0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 1>realize it'd gotten that bad. Oh yeah, yeah, he couldn't

0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:31.239
<v Speaker 1>believe that it bothered me that she had an ear

0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 1>piece in and didn't respond to me, because that's the

0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:39.440
<v Speaker 1>way his generation does it. Yeah, it's shocking to me.

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I know, I know well, and it's resulted in

0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 2>so much unmistakable misery and isolation. I just if I'm

0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 2>casting my bets for who's in charge of the world

0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 2>in two hundred years, it's the young and hungry and

0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:56.440
<v Speaker 2>backward civilizations right now, although they may well as soon

0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.040
<v Speaker 2>as they get hold of the technology and the food.

0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:01.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean that every every country that goes from like

0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:06.400
<v Speaker 2>eleven cents per capita for GDP to like over a

0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:11.880
<v Speaker 2>dollar fifty, they immediately become obese and they adopt all

0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.000
<v Speaker 2>of the modern stuff that's killing us. I just think

0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:17.080
<v Speaker 2>we've invented our own doom. We've invented too many pleasures

0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:21.039
<v Speaker 2>to resist. No country for old men, right, but back

0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:25.680
<v Speaker 2>to like people that aren't teenagers where you expect some

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:29.479
<v Speaker 2>sort of normal give and take with the cashier or

0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 2>the dental hygh genius came up the other day, Katie

0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:34.840
<v Speaker 2>brought up she hates it when they ask her questions

0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:36.600
<v Speaker 2>when they got their hands in your mouth, because you

0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.240
<v Speaker 2>can't answer. Anyway, Katie's not here today because she's sick,

0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:42.520
<v Speaker 2>but we got this text about that because we were wondering.

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:46.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure the dental high genius is told to make conversation.

0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:48.520
<v Speaker 2>It makes the patience feel more comfortable or something like it.

0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:50.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. It helps distract them from things that

0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.160
<v Speaker 1>bother you are scary or whatever. Sir, longtime listener, this

0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.440
<v Speaker 1>person text lived in San Francisco for twenty years. I

0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:59.839
<v Speaker 1>now live in Manhattan. Okay, wow, one of those people

0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:02.400
<v Speaker 1>that there are only really a couple places you can

0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:05.720
<v Speaker 1>live in America Los Angeles, New York, maybe San Francisco

0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:07.960
<v Speaker 1>or Chicago, but those are your only options. I know

0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:09.839
<v Speaker 1>a number of people like that. The only places they've

0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:14.640
<v Speaker 1>lived are those very big cities. But anyway, as a

0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:18.960
<v Speaker 1>long time dental hygienist, employers do not tell you to

0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:22.560
<v Speaker 1>engage in conversation with the patients. Some patients absolutely want

0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:25.440
<v Speaker 1>us to talk and tell them stories to take their

0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:28.719
<v Speaker 1>time off the process or their mind off the process. Yeah,

0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:30.160
<v Speaker 1>and a good one will get a sense from the

0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:32.559
<v Speaker 1>patient whether they want to talk or be quiet, which

0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:35.880
<v Speaker 1>I do appreciate that you picked up on my hateful, hateful,

0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:39.760
<v Speaker 1>murderous vibe that I don't want to talk. I appreciate that.

0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.000
<v Speaker 1>It is perfect perfectly polite to tell us how you

0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:47.320
<v Speaker 1>want to experience the appointment. It's your money, your time,

0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:49.919
<v Speaker 1>so tell them, please talk me through this, help distract me,

0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:52.719
<v Speaker 1>or say I'd prefer to sit here and just think

0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.120
<v Speaker 1>and stare at the ceiling or listen to a podcast

0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:57.000
<v Speaker 1>or something. You don't need to talk to me. That's

0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:58.599
<v Speaker 1>not a bad idea. Just tell them ahead of time.

0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:00.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a person that wants to talk. I don't

0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:01.760
<v Speaker 1>feel like you have to. I don't know. Has that

0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:03.040
<v Speaker 1>come off as being a dick.

0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:09.400
<v Speaker 2>M I would guess among the folks that have bothered me.

0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:13.159
<v Speaker 2>And when I say bothered me, it's fine, it's really fine.

0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:17.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, it's a yeah, first world problems. I mean seriously, yeah. Yeah.

0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:19.880
<v Speaker 1>In the list of things that actually bother me, that's

0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:20.760
<v Speaker 1>way way way down.

0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:23.800
<v Speaker 2>But the gal who I've worked with at times in

0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:27.719
<v Speaker 2>the past. I'll just say that dental hygienist. I could

0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:32.400
<v Speaker 2>write a fairly brief but reasonably complete biography of this one,

0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:34.600
<v Speaker 2>and that is.

0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:37.919
<v Speaker 1>Her Boswell to her Johnson, you you could write a

0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:40.200
<v Speaker 1>biography of her, having just followed her around.

0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:44.760
<v Speaker 2>Uh yeah, And I just there's no need for that.

0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:46.320
<v Speaker 1>Uh but yeah, it's fine.

0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.839
<v Speaker 2>I just I'm not going to put on they my

0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:52.760
<v Speaker 2>old dentist, and I've I've been very fortunate to have

0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:55.840
<v Speaker 2>had two dentists in the last thirty years. They've both

0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.159
<v Speaker 2>been fantastic. My old dentists.

0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:01.839
<v Speaker 1>I haven't twenty years, so we have that in common. Wow.

0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:04.320
<v Speaker 2>But they would give you headphones, but I would always

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:08.640
<v Speaker 2>just wear one because they have to communicate with you.

0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:10.520
<v Speaker 2>Can you till your head a little toward me great

0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:12.840
<v Speaker 2>or you know whatever, open a little less.

0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:14.320
<v Speaker 1>That's to help them do their thing.

0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:17.120
<v Speaker 2>And so I've never been comfortable with and maybe it's

0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:19.200
<v Speaker 2>my generation with being in communicato.

0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.360
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't like you're gonna have to communicate with it.

0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:23.120
<v Speaker 1>You know. The one that I hate the most, and

0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:24.880
<v Speaker 1>this is a different topic, but the one I hate

0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:28.640
<v Speaker 1>the most blood draws, and I even if I first

0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:31.120
<v Speaker 1>of all, yeah, don't talk about it, and then even

0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.080
<v Speaker 1>if I tell them not to talk about it, most

0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:35.840
<v Speaker 1>of the time they do. Look, just I'm fine with

0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:37.560
<v Speaker 1>this will be okay, just I don't want to don't

0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:40.040
<v Speaker 1>talk about it at all. Let's not talk about it. Still,

0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:42.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna get a ooh, you got some juicy veins.

0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:45.440
<v Speaker 1>This will be easy. Or having trouble finding your veins

0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:47.120
<v Speaker 1>is gonna be hard to get the needle into your

0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:50.000
<v Speaker 1>veins because I need you to clench your Yeah, stop

0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:53.120
<v Speaker 1>talking about it. It's all right. I don't want to

0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:58.280
<v Speaker 1>hear a word about it. Let me just sit down,

0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:00.720
<v Speaker 1>look at the wall, pretend something else going on. You

0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:02.480
<v Speaker 1>jabbed me. I'm fine.

0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:07.080
<v Speaker 2>Some people, and this covers every occupation known to mankind,

0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:11.360
<v Speaker 2>be they a humble street sweeper or a skilled brain

0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:16.920
<v Speaker 2>surgeon something in between. In every profession, Jack, there are

0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:22.280
<v Speaker 2>dumbasses or people who are so emotionally not intelligent they

0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:25.680
<v Speaker 2>can't take an effing hint and see it from your perspective.

0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:32.640
<v Speaker 1>And it's annoying with me, but really annoying with my son,

0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:35.319
<v Speaker 1>who every time but once is thrown up when he

0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:37.320
<v Speaker 1>gets a blood dry and gets so anxious and nervous

0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:39.040
<v Speaker 1>and out of control and everything like that, and we

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:41.320
<v Speaker 1>have multiple adults have to hold them down. I mean,
