1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: I shamed my wife after her friends consoled her because

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: she couldn't have a baby.

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 2: Am I the a hole?

4
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 3: Nothing wrong with a good old uh friend? No baby

5
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 3: having shame?

6
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, ma, and I love that shame party my baby.

7
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: I want to shame.

8
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 2: Shower, shame shower. That's funny.

9
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: So my wife, twenty six female, and I twenty male,

10
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: have been married for a year and began trying to

11
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: conceive in September. I love that. Oh we get we're

12
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: trying for a baby. Okay, I get it. You're going

13
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: to come down USA. No luck so far. But the

14
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: doctor did say at our first appointment that it typically

15
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: takes close to a year for most couples to conceive.

16
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,599
Speaker 1: So boys, if your dating, just know that you can

17
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: cream by that brow.

18
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 2: What is here? Doctors? You're not allowed to say that anymore?

19
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Can we stop with that? Oh my god?

20
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 3: It seems like couples who always try can never conceive,

21
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 3: and then like random nineteen year olds just like just

22
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 3: shooting averages off the charts.

23
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: I know, insane. She's been telling people that she's in fertile,

24
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: which isn't true. Doctor said she isn't. My wife and

25
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: I went to my work Christmas party in mid December,

26
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: where my wife met her my coworker's wife, let's call

27
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: her Mary, and then he took a liking to each other.

28
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: Nice Mary was pregnant and inviting my wife to hurt

29
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: baby shower, which was yesterday, and my wife sounded excited

30
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: to go. I asked her when we were alone, if

31
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: she thinks she'll be fine, because obviously she can't have

32
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: that baby at least as of late. I know my

33
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 1: wife and I know what typically bothers her. I knew

34
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: she wouldn't bask in happiness over someone else's pregnancy, so

35
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,199
Speaker 1: I urged her to think it through. She said she's fine,

36
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,559
Speaker 1: and she was excited, so she went. Now that baby

37
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: shower was yesterday. About forty minutes in, she calls me

38
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: and asked me to come. I was at a cafe

39
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: nearby because I knew she wouldn't stay long. Okay, so

40
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: OPI already like knows that she's like fighting a losing

41
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: battle here.

42
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

43
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: I find her at the entrance of the house, crying

44
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: and a bunch of women consoling her. When she saw me,

45
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: she came to me and pulled me to the garden

46
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: to talk She said she was dancing and looked at

47
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: Mary's pregnant.

48
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 2: Belly and kind of take it anymore. Oh.

49
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: She started crying and ran out. All of Mary's friends

50
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: followed her out to console her. I consoled her myself

51
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: and said, okay, let's go, babe, where do you want

52
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: to go? We can go for drive so you can

53
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: feel better. She looked at me weird and asked why

54
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: she would leave. I asked, why would you want to stay?

55
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: She said she feels better now and can have a

56
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: good time. I sighed and said, babe, you know that's

57
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: not going to happen. And I doubt the attention will

58
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: be on Mary after this, and that's not great. It's

59
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: her baby shower and she deserves to be celebrated. I

60
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: can't see how people are going to shift their focus

61
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: from consoling you to celebrating her if she's there, which

62
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: is a good point.

63
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's true. Ophie's right has been a party pooper. Yeah.

64
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: She rolled her eyes at me and said she's going

65
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: back in and that I should leave.

66
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,080
Speaker 2: Three hours later, the party was nearing his ends, so

67
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 2: I go back to the ground.

68
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: My coworker and I stepped into the house and lo

69
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: and behold, everyone is sitting in a circle, with my

70
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: wife being the center of attention. Coworker looked for his

71
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: wife and she wasn't there at all. He called her

72
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: and said she had left ages Ago. My wife and

73
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: I entered the car, and I first asked her how

74
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: she was feeling, and we spoke about it for a

75
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: few minutes. I then asked her what happened and why

76
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: Mary left. She said, oh, crap, Mary, I forgot to

77
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: say bye to her, Mary the person having the baby shower.

78
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: I told her Mary left ages Ago. I then said,

79
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: I know you're going through a hard time, but why

80
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: on earth would you and her friends do this? If

81
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: they consold you for a few minutes, that's fine, but

82
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: the entire party we really should have left earlier. She

83
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: looked at me so offended and said, are you Mary's

84
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: husband or mine? We stared at each other for a

85
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: while and just drove home in silence. I told her

86
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: I want to talk to her this morning to sort

87
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: some things out, but she ignored me and left the house.

88
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 2: So you know what this reminds me of?

89
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 3: What this reminds me of the episode of SpongeBob where

90
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 3: mister Crabs kept going to sponge Bob.

91
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 2: I was like, swoot, mom, give me money. We gotta

92
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 2: buy missus all the flowers in the world.

93
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 3: And it's like, SpongeBob, I told you not to use

94
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 3: any of me money.

95
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: I feel like this is literally She's like, I want

96
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 2: to go to the Baby Star. It's gonna be so great.

97
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 2: It's like, why am I here? I'm so sad. I

98
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: didn't know that it was gonna be reminding me of

99
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: not having a baby. It's a baby shower co on.

100
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 3: I also do like we wonder sometimes with these stories

101
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 3: if we're getting.

102
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: Like the full story. I don't I honestly don't know

103
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: what it would be.

104
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 3: But I just feel like there's something that maybe not Yeah,

105
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 3: I don't know.

106
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think like the wife seems to

107
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 1: life seems just to not know like a little bit

108
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: of etiquette, you know, Like it's like it's like going

109
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: to someone's wedding. It's not quite as bad, but it's

110
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: like going to one's wedding and after just going through

111
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: divorce and then crying the whole wedding about your failed

112
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: marriage and taking all the attention from the wedding to yourself.

113
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 2: I need the attention.

114
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, these people are getting the happy staf. I'm sads.

115
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: Everyone else should be sad. Come on, come on, ridiculous.

116
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: But you know what doesn't make me sad?

117
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 2: Oh my god? What when people submit their stories to

Speaker 1: I'm John Fry and we tell the funniest stories on

125
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: the Internet. And John, I have something that involves religion

126
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: and emails. Not the Prince of Nigeria, not the Prince

127
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: of my just asking for ten million cool dot gosh?

128
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: Am I the a hole for signing off a professional

129
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: email with asalam a lick? After my Christian coworker said,

130
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: God bless you.

131
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 2: That's kind of awesome. Let's let's get it.

132
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: I have worked at my current job for almost three years.

133
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: It's a smaller company with less than one hundred employees

134
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: scattered across a handful of regional offices. Because I work

135
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: with people in different offices.

136
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: Quite a bit.

137
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: A lot of the communication is via email. There's one

138
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: person in particular who I work with who has a

139
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 1: habit of signing off on emails with God Bless you.

140
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: He will also find ways to put Bible quotes and

141
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: scripture into his emails, which I think is rather inappropriate work.

142
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 3: God has anointed this electronic mail message for your inbox

143
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 3: in peace.

144
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: Separation of work in state, right, they said, or churchin wait, No,

145
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: it should be church and work.

146
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 2: And work, church work, separation work, church and work work.

147
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: I've never been a religious person, but I was raised

148
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: by Muslim parents and have nothing against it and believe

149
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: that people should have every right to practice their really

150
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: leigion as they see fit. But I also believe that

151
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: religion shouldn't be forced down anyone's throat, especially in the workplace,

152
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: which I agree with too, Like I like, I know

153
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: there's a lot of evangelization that you gotta do if

154
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: you're if you're religious, but like, you know, keep it.

155
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 2: There's a way to be respectful.

156
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a way to be Like you don't say

157
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: I a work email with like, hey Jimmy, you got

158
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: those that that memo recently and also like have you

159
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: gotten the Word of Jesus Christ?

160
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 2: Reword and say here, yeah, did you?

161
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 3: Did you get my memo on that project and the

162
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 3: word of Jesus Christ.

163
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 2: It's a good word, the gospel, the Gospel.

164
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: After about six months at my job, I brought it

165
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: up to my boss about my coworker's email habit. He said,

166
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: he's aware of it and doesn't agree with it either,

167
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: but it's a different office and the manager of that

168
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: office thinks it's okay, and I should just try to

169
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: ignore it.

170
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 2: So that's what I did.

171
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: I bit my tongue and tried to ignore it for

172
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: almost two years. I ignored it until one day, let.

173
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 2: Me guess, I snapped, we know you read it.

174
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: Until one day this particular coworker added some scripture to

175
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: an email he sent me after I told him I

176
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: was having a rough.

177
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 2: Day, and then I snapped.

178
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: I understand he was just trying to be helpful in

179
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: his own way, but it just rubbed me the wrong way.

180
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 2: And I didn't have patience for it anymore.

181
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: So I wrote him an email and copied my boss

182
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: and his office manager on it, explaining that well, I

183
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: appreciate the sentiment. I would prefer if he refrained from

184
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: including any religious material in any and all future correspondence.

185
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: It was very professional, succinct into the point, but also

186
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: very clear on what I was trying to communicate. I

187
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: then signed off on the email with a Salam assalama

188
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: lakem bang. How's that for a God bless you the gospel?

189
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: Hiyah yah. Not even ten minutes later, I was called

190
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: into my boss's office.

191
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 2: He asked me.

192
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: What the hell I was doing mocking someone else's religion

193
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: like that. I told him I wasn't mocking anything. I

194
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,599
Speaker 1: was simply conveying to a coworker in writing that I

195
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: would prefer to keep religion out of future correspondence. He

196
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: said that it sure as hell seemed like I was

197
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: mocking my coworkers Christianity by using a Muslim saying in

198
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: the email. I asked him if he even knew what

199
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: that phrase meant, and he say he didn't, So I

200
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 1: told him it means peace be unto you. I told him,

201
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: if he thinks it's okay for someone to say God

202
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: blessed you in every email, it should be okay for

203
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: me to say asala malakum. It should be okay for

204
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: me to say as it should be okay for me

205
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: to say as la malakum as well. He told me

206
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: to leave his office and get back to work. A

207
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: couple days later, there was a company wide email put

208
00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: up by the CEO outlining new email policies regarding religion, politics,

209
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: in other personal views. It very clearly laid out that

210
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: none of that kind of personal viewpoints should be included

211
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: in any company email, no exceptions. Shortly after that email

212
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: was sent out, my Christian coworker sent me a text

213
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: to my personal phone that simply said, I hope you're

214
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: a happy a hole, which.

215
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 2: Is not a very Christian thing with Jesus with Jesus text,

216
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 2: hope you're happy. Hey, no, Jesus wouldn't. Jesus would say.

217
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 3: Yes.

218
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: But gosh darn that is uh, you know, that's quite

219
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: the story. I don't think religion should ever be in

220
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 1: in a work email. But John, what do you think

221
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: the a hole I have?

222
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 3: So I have consulted someone who is a not a

223
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,239
Speaker 3: white cis male.

224
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 2: Sweet my partner is Muslim.

225
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 3: So I I saw the headline of the story and

226
00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 3: I messaged her and basically, okay, there's a few things here,

227
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 3: but here's what I'll start off with I like comedy,

228
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 3: and that shit is hilarious. I'm sorry, bro, Like this

229
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 3: is the problem with like when you get to a

230
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 3: company that's like that large, because it's like they have

231
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 3: to have these bureaucracies and like whatever else. And to me,

232
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 3: like if someone showed me that, I'd be like, man,

233
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 3: he he clearly communicated this thing. He made a joke

234
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 3: like maybe it was you know, I don't know. To me,

235
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 3: it's funny, I mean, it's really funny. But I think

236
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 3: people are really touchy around religion in Genah, and they're

237
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 3: touchy around religion. And also you can see the different

238
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 3: treatment of Christianity and is Muslims or Islam. You can

239
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 3: see the different you can see the different treatment of

240
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 3: Christianity and Islam in how the company responds.

241
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 2: Right.

242
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: Actually, like you can be a Christian touting God Bless

243
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: you for years and then assume.

244
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 3: One mention of Asalam alakeam, the whole company is like

245
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 3: no more religion. Also, so additional content from from my girlfriend.

246
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 3: So whereas like you know, God Bless you is pretty

247
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 3: like tied to God and religion, Asalama Lakam is not

248
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 3: necessarily tied to Islam.

249
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 2: It's it's rabbit language, it's Arabic.

250
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 3: So now it is generally speaking used in the context

251
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 3: of like with with Islam very often. Yeah, but there

252
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 3: are non Muslim Arab countries that still say that as

253
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 3: a or even like the shorting of there's like a

254
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 3: shortened version of Salam, which is kind of like like

255
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 3: what's good, bro, Like Salam's bro. So it's not only

256
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 3: is you know. First, I'm like, it's a funny joke,

257
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 3: like let's let it fly. I'm here for funny jokes.

258
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 3: Second of all, it's not. And to your point, like

259
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 3: this guy is Christian all the time, this guy's it's

260
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 3: oslamilakem once he gets slapped on the wrist. But it's

261
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 3: not necessarily always tied to the religion. So there's like

262
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 3: multiple layers here, all point to like let it let

263
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 3: it ride, baby, Yeah, like agreed, agreed, but you know

264
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 3: what you should always let ride ooh slappin' slappin' that

265
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,280
