1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,920
Speaker 1: I'm trying to throw my niece in jail for messing

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: up my coat. Am I the a hole? I mean

3
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: it is a coat, but I guess here you will

4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: be a nice coat.

5
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 2: You know, it might be a fancy coat, might be

6
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 2: like a you know, I want to like a chinchilla coat.

7
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,560

00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 2: in the face.

00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh yeah, with I have to go up

00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 3: to a police officer, pull out their gun and then

00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 3: shoot you, and then toss the gun aside like a movie.

13
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, and shoot the police officer after. Yeah, just for

14
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: good messa. Yeah yeah.

15
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 2: I twenty eight female. I have a niece, sixteen female.

16
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 2: She is my only sister's only child. I like that double.

17
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 2: Only two years ago I married a very wealthy man

18
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 2: thirty four male.

19
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: Good on to you, hey, poppy.

20
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: And because of the pandemic, last Christmas was my first

21
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: with my in laws. My mother in law gifted me

22
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 2: a coat that is worth more than twenty thousand dollars.

23
00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 3: I am shocked. It's that cheap, dude, twenty that's insane.

24
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 3: That's an insanely expensive coat.

25
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: I saw her wearing it, asked her where she bought it,

26
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 2: and she says, it will be my Christmas gift from her.

27
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 2: You know, I guess it's like a nice Christmas gift

28
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 2: or whatever, but it's like kind of like hand me downs.

29
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 1: Oh oh oh. So she was wearing the coat and

30
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: then she's like, I'm going to give it to you.

31
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: I mean it is a twenty thousand dollars coup If

32
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: someone was like, hey, John, I'm going to give you

33
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: my Tesla for Christmas.

34
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 2: I'm like, yes, okay. I didn't know how much it was.

35
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 2: I knew it was expensive, but I thought maybe it's

36
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 2: like three thousand at most. Yes, yes, twenty thousand for

37
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 2: coat is insane.

38
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: Absolutely. I was visiting my sister last January when my

39
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: niece saw it. She googled the brand and showed me

40
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: how much it really was. I won't lie.

41
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 2: I didn't wear it after that because I was afraid

42
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: of ruining it. Of course, last week I wore it

43
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: while visiting my sister. While I was putting it back

44
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 2: on to leave, I felt something go splat on my back. No,

45
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 2: then my niece started cackling and the smell of paint

46
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: hit me.

47
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: Stop it.

48
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 2: You know, it's kind of like, you know how like

49
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: hippies would throw red paint at people with fur coats. Right, yeah,

50
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: she probably did something like that.

51
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 1: Interesting. I was so pissed off.

52
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 2: While she was not apologetic at all, Her mom screamed

53
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: at her and said she was grounded. Then she said

54
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 2: she will pay for the dry cleaning. While I was

55
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 2: in my car, still shocked by the way, I got

56
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: an alert that my niece posted a reel. It was

57
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 2: of her doing a prank on me, and she said,

58
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 2: I'm going to hit my aunt's twenty thousand dollars coat

59
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 2: with a paint filled balloon.

60
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 3: To Oh my god, now that's content.

61
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 2: I saved it on my phone, sent it to her

62
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 2: mom and told her that a week's grounding is not enough.

63
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: She did not reply, but I saw that my niece

64
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 2: took it down. It got less than five yews by then.

65
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 2: The next day I found out my coat cannot be saved,

66
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 2: so I called my sister and told her that her

67
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 2: daughter has to pay it back the twenty thousand dollars

68
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 2: for the coat. And it was her sister, the mom

69
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: of the niece that did this. That's the person who

70
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 2: gave it to her in the first place, right, the

71
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 2: mom of the I think no, I think it's on

72
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 2: the other side of the family. Okay, okay, so this

73
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:17,119
Speaker 2: is not the Yes, her sister's daughter. Her sister isn't

74
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: the one that gave it to her. It was somebody

75
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 2: somebody else. Ivany, she is my only sister's only child,

76
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: right and then she married him, a wealthy man. The

77
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 2: wealthy man.

78
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: Mother God.

79
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 2: Well, we got into argument and she said that they

80
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 2: will not be paying it, and if I wanted a

81
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 2: new one, I should get my husband to buy it

82
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: for me. I don't think that let's keep going. I

83
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 2: don't think that makes sense. I think that they should

84
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 2: pay for it. They can afford to as well. In

85
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: my opinion, they should sell my niece's car and pay

86
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 2: me back my money.

87
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: Now you're kidding. We did not reach an.

88
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: Agreement, so I told her that I will be suing

89
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 2: and reminded her that I have video evidence that her

90
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: daughter A did it on purpose for online clout and

91
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 2: be exactly how expensive it.

92
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: Was your honor she did it for?

93
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 2: Oh she did she did. People in my life are

94
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 2: not objective at all. Some are saying that they are

95
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: the A holes for not buying me a new one,

96
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: and some are so obsessed with the price of the

97
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: coat that they are calling me an a hole for

98
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: simply owning one and wanting a new one. So am

99
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 2: I the a hole?

100
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: I think yes, because the thing it would be a

101
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: different story if she personally paid the twenty thousand, that's

102
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: would have been twenty thousand out of her account. This

103
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 1: was a gift. I don't know. I wouldn't I wouldn't

104
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: go that far. I wouldn't say sell the car and

105
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: all this stuff.

106
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,679
Speaker 2: I well, if you were gifted, maybe this is dated.

107
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: But if you were gifted like a like an original

108
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 2: Kanye album right right, liked, maybe you didn't want that anymore.

109
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 1: Let's go Kendrick.

110
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 2: Let's go Kendrick, right like if you were like gifted

111
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 2: like a like a like a record, right of like

112
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 2: an unreleased Kendrick album, right, and it's worth like it's

113
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 2: worth like twenty thousand dollars, right all right?

114
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: And then and then someone.

115
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 2: Your your your sister's kid comes over and records to

116
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 2: prank saying I'm going to destroy John's twenty thousand dollars

117
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 2: socker and smashes it on the ground. Hmmm, what would

118
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 2: do you what punishment do you think would would get

119
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 2: through to this kid that that is not okay to do.

120
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: I honestly I don't know why would do. But here's

121
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 1: what I think they should do.

122
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 3: It's it seems like I don't know how direct cleaning works,

123
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 3: but I mean, is it repairable?

124
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: Like no, they said it isn't right, Oh they.

125
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 3: Said it okay, never mind, Okay, I don't know, like

126
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 3: it's not a it doesn't. The thing I think here

127
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 3: is it's not like it for me that would be

128
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 3: sentimental and dollar value. So like, this is something that

129
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 3: I don't think she really like.

130
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 2: Let's let's say let's say she cares. Okay, all right,

131
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 2: that's tough. I mean I think it's okay, man, that's hard. Well, Eric,

132
00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 2: she has a car. I think repercussions for the actions.

133
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 2: There needs to be repercussions, right, you sell the car

134
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 2: and you uh and you give the money.

135
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 3: I don't know if I will go that far, but

136
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 3: I think I think you know what I would do.

137
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 3: I'd be like, you're we're going to make sure she's

138
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 3: paying me like a few hundred dollars a month.

139
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: Or whatever for the rest of her life for a while. Yeah,

140
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, like.

141
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 3: Something like that she needs, like you know what, pay me,

142
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 3: like give me a thousand or like she probably doesn't

143
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 3: have a lot on her bank account, but like like

144
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 3: let's let's figure out what let's figure out what she

145
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 3: has give let's take out a large like down payment

146
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 3: now to be like feel the pain. And she's like young,

147
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 3: so she'll hate that and then make her pay like

148
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 3: a monthly for.

149
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: Like a long time. That's probably what I would do.

150
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 2: I would have her sell the car, honestly, but like

151
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 2: I think like she needs, Like I think that would

152
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 2: that's like something taken away that actually would affect.

153
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: I mean it would it would affect her. I think

154
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: it would.

155
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 2: Affect her, and it would make her realize like she

156
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 2: shouldn't do shit like this fair fair and like I like,

157
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 2: like let's say the car is like fifteen thousand, I

158
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 2: guess have to be actually twenty thousand, or like say

159
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: it's even like five thousand or six thousand, Like what's

160
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 2: important is you lose is something. But the thing is

161
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 2: that probably will make life just terrible for uh the

162
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: sister because then she's gonna have to drive her kid

163
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 2: around everywhere.

164
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 3: Again true, but that's kind of like at this point,

165
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 3: it's your kid that yeah, that screwed up.

166
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 2: So am I the a hole for signing off a

167
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:33,920

00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 2: God bless you. Okop, this is Okayop. I'm Samuel Daughter

170
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: on the Internet. And John, I have something that involves

171
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 2: religion and.

172
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: Emails, not the Prince of Nigeria.

173
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 2: Not the prins of something asking for a ten million

174
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 2: gool dog gosh, Am I the a hole for signing

175
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: off a professional email with Asalama Likum after my Christian

176
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 2: coworkers said, God bless you.

177
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: That's kind of awesome. Let's let's let's get it.

178
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 2: I have worked at my current job for almost three years.

179
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 2: It's a smaller company with less than one hundred employees

180
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 2: scattered across a handful of regional offices. Because I work

181
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 2: with people in different offices quite a bit, a lot

182
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 2: of the communication is via email. There's one person in

183
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 2: particular who I work with who has a habit of

184
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 2: signing off on emails with God bless you. He will

185
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 2: also find ways to put Bible quotes and scripture into

186
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 2: his emails, which I think is rather inappropriate.

187
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: Work.

188
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 3: God has anointed this electronic mail message for your in

189
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 3: books in peace.

190
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 2: Separation of work in state, right, they said, or churchin wait. No,

191
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 2: it should be church and work.

192
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 3: And work church work, separation work, church and work work.

193
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 2: I've never been a religious person, but I was raised

194
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 2: by Muslim parents and have nothing against it and believe

195
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 2: that people should have every right to practice their religion

196
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 2: as they see fit. But I also believe that religion

197
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 2: shouldn't be forced down anyone's throat, especially in the workplace,

198
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 2: which I agree with too, Like I like, I know

199
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 2: there's a lot of evangelization that you gotta do if

200
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 2: you're if you're religious, but like, you know, keep it.

201
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 1: There's a way to be respectful.

202
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a way to be like you don't say

203
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 2: i'd work email with like, hey, Jimmy, you got those

204
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 2: that that memo recently?

205
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: And also like have you gotten the Word of Jesus

206
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: Christ re word?

207
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 3: And say here, yeah, did you did you get my

208
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 3: memo on that project and the Word of Jesus Christ.

209
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: It's a good word.

210
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 2: The gospel, the Gospel After about six months at my job,

211
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,479
Speaker 2: I brought it up to my boss about my coworker's

212
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 2: email habit. He said he's aware of it and doesn't

213
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 2: agree with it either, but it's a different office and

214
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 2: the manager of that office thinks it's okay and I

215
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 2: should just try to ignore it. So that's what I did.

216
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 2: I bit my tongue and tried to ignore it for

217
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 2: almost two years. I ignored it until one day, let.

218
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: Me guess, I snapped, know you read it?

219
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 2: Until one day this particular coworker added some scripture to

220
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 2: an email he sent me after I told him I

221
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 2: was having a rough day, and then I snapped. I

222
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 2: understand he was just trying to be helpful in his

223
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 2: own way, but it just rubbed me the wrong way,

224
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 2: and I didn't have patience for it anymore. So I

225
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 2: wrote him an email and copied my boss and his

226
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 2: office manager on it, explaining that, well, I appreciate the sentiment,

227
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 2: I would prefer if he refrained from including any religious

228
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 2: material in any and all future correspondence. It was very professional,

229
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 2: succinct in to the point, but also very clear on

230
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 2: what I was trying to communicate. I then signed off

231
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 2: on the email with asal Salam, assalama.

232
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: Lakam bang. How's that for a God bless you? The gospel?

233
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: Hiyah yah.

234
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 2: Not even ten minutes later, I was called into my

235
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 2: boss's office.

236
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: He asked me what the hell I was doing mocking

237
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: someone else's religion like that.

238
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 2: I told him I wasn't mocking anything. I was simply

239
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 2: conveying to a coworker in writing that I would prefer

240
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 2: to keep religion out of future correspondence. He said that

241
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 2: it sure as hell seemed like I was mocking my

242
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 2: coworkers Christianity by using a Muslim saying in the email.

243
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 2: I asked him if he even knew what that phrase meant,

244
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 2: and he say he didn't, so I told him it

245
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 2: means peace be unto you. I told him, if he

246
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 2: thinks it's okay for someone to say God bless you

247
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 2: in every email, it should be okay for me to

248
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 2: say a malakum, it should be okay for me to

249
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 2: say as it should be okay for me to say

250
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 2: a malakum as well. He told me to leave his

251
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 2: office and get back to work. A couple days later,

252
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 2: there was a company wide email put up by the

253
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 2: CEO outlining new email policies regarding religion, politics, and other

254
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 2: personal views. It very clearly laid out that none of

255
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 2: that kind of personal viewpoints should be included in any

256
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 2: company email, no exceptions. Certainly after that email is sent out,

257
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 2: my Christian coworker sent me a text to my personal

258
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 2: phone that simply said, I hope you're a happy a hole.

00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: that is uh you know, that's quite the story.

332
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 2: I don't think religion should ever be in in a

333
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 2: work email, But John, what do you think is op

334
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 2: the a hole I have?

335
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: So I have consulted someone who is a not a

336
00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: white cis mail sweet. My partner is most so.

337
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 3: I I saw the headline of the story and I

338
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 3: messaged her and basically, okay, there's a few things here,

339
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 3: but here's what I'll start off with.

340
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: I like comedy, and that shit is hilarious.

341
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, bro, Like, this is the problem with like

342
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 3: when you get to a company that's like that large,

343
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 3: because it's like they have to have these bureaucracies and

344
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 3: like whatever else. And to me, like if someone showed

345
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 3: me that, I'd be like, man, he clearly communicated this thing.

346
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 3: He made a joke like maybe it was you know,

347
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 3: I don't know. To me, it's funny.

348
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: I mean it's really funny.

349
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 2: But I think people are really touchy around religion in Geta,

350
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 2: and they're touchy around religion. And also you can see

351
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 2: the different treatment of Christianity and is Muslims or Islam

352
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 2: because you can see the different you can see the

353
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 2: different treatment of Christianity and Islam and how the company

354
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 2: responds right actly like you can be a Christian touting

355
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 2: God Bless you for years and then assume.

356
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 3: One mention of alakam, the whole company is like no

357
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 3: more religion. Also, so additional context from from my girlfriend.

358
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 3: So whereas like you know, God Bless you is pretty

359
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 3: like tied to God and religion asalam, Alakam is not

360
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 3: necessarily tied to Islam.

361
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 1: It's it's rab language, it's Arabic.

362
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 3: So now it is generally speaking used in the context

363
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 3: of like with with Islam very often, but there are

364
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 3: non Muslim Arab countries that still say that as a

365
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 3: or even like the shortening of there's like a shortened

366
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 3: version of Salam, which is kind of like like what's

367
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 3: good bro like Salam's bro. So it's not only is

368
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 3: you know. First, I'm like, it's a funny joke, like

369
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,439
Speaker 3: let's let it fly. I'm here for funny jokes. Second

370
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 3: of all, it's not and to your point, like this

371
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 3: guy is Christian all the time. This guy's it's Oslam

372
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,199
Speaker 3: alakem once he gets on the wrist. But it's not

373
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 3: necessarily always tied to the religion. So there's like multiple

374
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 3: layers here that all point to like let it, let

375
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 3: it ride, baby, Yeah, like.

376
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 2: Agreed, agreed, but you know what, you should always let
