1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Make me wear a suit instead of my safety gear.

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: How fun destroying your today? Okayop, this is Okayop. I'm

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: Samuel Daughter and I'm John Fry. We tell the funniest

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: stories on the Internet. And John, have you ever had

5
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: to wear like a uniform that you didn't want to?

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 2: Definitely? I've had a two instances. Well, the first one

7
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 2: I was working at mister Kabab and Falaffel Amazing in Capitola, California,

8
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 2: and I at the time, you know, I just moved

9
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 2: from Florida young buck, seventeen years old and didn't have

10
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 2: a ton of clothes, so I was warring my attire

11
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 2: from the summer before, which was you know Tiva sandals.

12
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,599
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah, the ones that like strap around your.

13
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, they like it. It's like it's like it's a

14
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:45,840
Speaker 2: sandal essentially with like colored belcro straps, scrap straps, colored pants, shirt.

15
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: And then the owner comes in and he's like, I

16
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 2: was a waiter and he's like, John, you cannot serve

17
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 2: people with open toes. It's just it's just not what

18
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: we do. And at the time, I was like, man,

19
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,279
Speaker 2: let me let me wear it a one man. Let

20
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 2: me let me express myself, and now I'm like, I

21
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: don't want to stare at someone's toes on the cancer,

22
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 2: especially my toes, Like if someone else has my toes,

23
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 2: I don't need to see that.

24
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,199
Speaker 1: I don't know, John, I think you might get extra

25
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 1: tips from uh, those those customers at the foot fetish.

26
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: I one time had some sixty sixty year old grannies

27
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 2: that they threw down some cash from me. There.

28
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: Hey, they like the theyste they try and get a

29
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: night at the hotel about the falafel place.

30
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 2: And let me tell you, at that point in time,

31
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 2: I was for sale. If you have money for my

32
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 2: seventeen year old broke ass here.

33
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: I let's just say the falafel wasn't the only meat

34
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: they're getting, Oh, John servering up some fresh beef.

35
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: Although falafel does not have any meat. I still falaffle

36
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: Shma has some meat.

37
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: They don't have any meat, and it's not well, I know,

38
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: the falaffles garbanzo beans. Oh shit, it's blended garbanzo beans.

39
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: Although it does it does taste very hearty. I will

40
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: give any meat.

41
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: There's no I don't. I don't know if there's any

42
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: common iteration of a falaffel with it.

43
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: It's a meat like served with the falaffel, you.

44
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 2: Could get like a shwarma. That's like a common thing.

45
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 2: So it's the joke still stands. Okay, the joke still

46
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 2: I didn't want to ruin it in the moment, but

47
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 2: I did want to educate you.

48
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: I appreciate the education. Falafel no meat anyway, Speaking of

49
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: toes exposed and exposed toes and clothing, make me wear

50
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:31,119
Speaker 1: a suit instead of my safety gear? How fun? Destroying

51
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: this will.

52
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 2: Be an interesting see how we go from pointing to point.

53
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: B There it's a journey that goes through time space.

54
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: The Twilight Zone.

55
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: The backstory, father in law works for a heavy equipment

56
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: manufacturer highway making equipment machines for gold and gem mining.

57
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: The machines aren't really relevant to the story, only that

58
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: they're big and scary enough that everyone is under very

59
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: strict supervision about safety, well almost everyone.

60
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: The description of what they work on just makes me

61
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 2: think of the Ford f one fifty.

62
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: It can take any rocks that you need, twelve tons

63
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: of rocks. The Ford f one fifties got it crush

64
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: him like they were meant to be. This company. As

65
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: one it guy, he does everything from web admin to

66
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 1: the ID badges to the printer isn't working, so obviously

67
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: he needs an office with a computer. Only problem is,

68
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: most of his job is keeping the ancient assembly line

69
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: machines on life support, so he's constantly on the factory

70
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: for fixing error code TI eighty six on the machine

71
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,119
Speaker 1: CEE one thirty seven. You know a bunch of gobblingbook

72
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: that means big machines, one guy fixing them.

73
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: Getting his hands real dirty.

74
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, just like the Ford F one fifty does broom, broom, broom.

75
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: The problem. One day, one of the vps of butt

76
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: Kissing deigns to leave the plush veneer of the C

77
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: level suite to enter the Plebeian offices and takes great

78
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: offense to the IT guy wearing jeans, boots and one

79
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: of those orange high viz reflective vests. In this strictly

80
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: suit and tie office, protests about IT guys job duties

81
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: fall on deaf ears, and since this IT department of

82
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: one single solitary person doesn't have an official C level officer,

83
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: the VP of Butt Kissing decides to write a new

84
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: dress code for the IT department, suit and tie at

85
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: all times, no exceptions, no it Guy shows up the

86
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: next day in a suit and tie as asks tries

87
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: to fix an error on the factory floor and rightfully

88
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: gets turned away at the door for lack of safety gear.

89
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: My man's not wearing a high vis vest. Oh boy.

90
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: He spends a few days in his office goofing off

91
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: while the errors on the factory floor grow and grow

92
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: and grow the fallout. Finally, around three am one night,

93
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: a big production line goes down. This is a huge

94
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: contract for the company. The company might go under if

95
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: this client go elsewhere. As such, emergency procedures state all

96
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: sea level execs and even the owner must be notified

97
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: immediately if this line stops at any time for any reason.

98
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: So the upper echelon of the company, including the VP

99
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: butt Kisser, assembles in the boardroom to prepare for the firing.

100
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: Spree peopw someone's gonna go down. Oh. Around five am,

101
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: it Guy is ordered into the boardroom, where they really

102
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: lay into him before they fire him. Threats of lacklisting

103
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: him in the industry, Threats of lawsuits for damages, et cetera.

104
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: Of course, there's the condescending Now, what should do you

105
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: off to save for yourself? The mic drop. He unfolds

106
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 1: a few pieces of paper from his pocket and puts

107
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: them on the table in front of the owner. This

108
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: is why I have to wear a suit and tie,

109
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: no matter what. This was my objection because I have

110
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: to do my job properly. This is the safety officer

111
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: refusing the entry for lack of safety gear. And this

112
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: is the record that the VP butt Kisser got my

113
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: emails but never responded.

114
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 2: This guy has the receipts.

115
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: He is bared prepared. Not a pin drop or a

116
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: cricket chirp could be heard, just the faint ruffling of

117
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: papers as the owner read. Finally he spoke, your so

118
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: called dress code is officially revoked. VP butt Casser is

119
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: no longer allowed to have any authority over you. Please

120
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: put on your safety gear and fix the machine. The

121
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: rest of us will stay here all day until I'm

122
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 1: convinced that this problem we'll never happen again. VP butt

123
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: Kisser kept his job. He was very good at doing

124
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: his namesake, after all, but he was transferred to VP

125
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: of a division that didn't even exist and a workforce

126
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: of one only him. Rumor is he kept the job

127
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: because he was related to the owner, but at least

128
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: his self righteousness can't ruin actual work being done right.

129
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: Just like it's it's so beautifully maliciously compliant because not

130
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 2: only was he able to like take take the guy down,

131
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 2: but also just do nothing fiddle around.

132
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: With his word to basically have a chill at chill

133
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: a couple of days relaxing and like that just shows

134
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: Keep the receipts, man, Keep.

135
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:27,800
