1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: Here we go, Here we go, Here we go again.

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: Do you know what that is?

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 2: Can I get a witness or something like that?

4
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's here I go, Here, I go, Here,

5
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: I go again. Girls, what's my weakness?

6
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 2: Oh that's what I was.

7
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: Okay then yeah, okay, we'll work on our We'll work

8
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: on karaoke skills.

9
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 2: Obviously it's not one of my go tos.

10
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously I've seen a couple of videos you've recently karaokeing.

11
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: In fact, Oh yes, what is your go to again?

12
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 2: I mean I have lots of go tos, but the

13
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 2: most recent one, the videos that you saw were probably

14
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 2: like fast Car was.

15
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: Fast Card to Go. Oh that's cute. Did you do

16
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: it with l or did you No?

17
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 2: I did it. I did it with my Alyssa's boyfriend Dan.

18
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: Did you see that? Recently? Ed Sheeran was in Nashville

19
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: and he went to Santa's, which, for you guys listening, hi, y'all.

20
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: By the way, for you guys listening, is this tiny

21
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 1: little dive bar. It's a trailer. Yes, they do karaoke.

22
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: It's like cash only it's like that kind of place.

23
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: And Ed Sheeran showed up and was doing karaoke with

24
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: people in the audience or whatever.

25
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 2: It was like after he played the Nissan Stadium.

26
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: Yes, like, no big deal. He goes from Nissan Stadium

27
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 1: to Santa's Pub.

28
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 2: What a guy? What a guy? What a guy?

29
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 1: Well, excuse me, I'm drinking Lillo Kroix and this happens

30
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: to me every time. I definitely don't need to drink

31
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: Lakroi when we record, but here we are, and I'm

32
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: gonna keep talking. So anyway, the topic this month is

33
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: abandon and as we said to you guys last week,

34
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: we were gonna bring a lot of different versions of

35
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: the word abandon. The main focus we wanted to really

36
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: think about this month is just like living with abandon

37
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: living your best life, not letting things hold you back

38
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: or hold you down. And this can kind of fall

39
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: in that category. But we also did sort of mention

40
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: abandonment as this like negative term, and so we're trying

41
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: to kind of like do a spin on that. And

42
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 1: it's not necessarily like you're getting abandoned. But I think

43
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: abandoning things is very difficult sometimes in life. I know

44
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: I personally struggle with that. Like I'm a person who

45
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: will hold on until like I can't anymore, until life

46
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: is falling apart in every other capacity and I'm forced

47
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: to let go.

48
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: Are you like that, Chip, Yeah, I mean, especially if

49
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 2: it has something to do with anyone else, you know,

50
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 2: like if I feel like I'm failing at something so

51
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 2: I'll be judged by it, or if I'm letting somebody down,

52
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 2: or you know, so I like, you know, I think

53
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: I've done pretty well in my life by sometimes ignoring

54
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: issues because sometimes things do just work themselves out, and

55
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 2: you know, the universe has a way of like making

56
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 2: things right. So I do think it's important to always

57
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,839
Speaker 2: sort of weigh situations and like let them play out

58
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 2: in the way that they're supposed to. But I also

59
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 2: make the mistake of sometimes like ignoring things and thinking

60
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 2: they're just going to go away when they're not. So

61
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: I think there's a fine line between those two things.

62
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 2: That what it is you don't want to like just

63
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 2: jump to conclusions and make everything the world is ending.

64
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 2: But I think when you know that the world is ending,

65
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: it's important to recognize it and take the appropriate actions.

66
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think it's a way. Actually, I was

67
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: just thinking as you were talking that I do agree

68
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: That's a very fine line because like one of the

69
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: ways that I really hold on is in relationships, Like

70
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: it can be very clear the relationship isn't working, but

71
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, let me just try this one more angle,

72
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: you know, like I just really struggle there. And again

73
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: it's similar to you, it's like it involves other people.

74
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: For me, it's also like I don't want to go

75
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: through heartbreak or letting go of something like a person.

76
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 2: Or dating again. Dating, you know, like you think of

77
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 2: all the things that you're going to have to do

78
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 2: if you make a change.

79
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: Absolutely, so instead of paying attention to all the signs,

80
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 1: I'll just be like, yep, but maybe you know, there's

81
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: always that like maybe have you ever seen that meme

82
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: that's like God sends you a sign and you're like, yeah,

83
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: I saw that sign God, But like, do you have

84
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: a sign of your sign? Like I just think that

85
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: one's so funny because it's that is how the universe

86
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: works with me. So anyway, I think it's a fine

87
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: line between paying attention looking at all the signs and

88
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: like you said, though, making sure you are doing your

89
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: due due diligence so you're not being just completely flagrant,

90
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: but you're also not staying too long, which is what

91
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: I tend to do. So there's a fine line somewhere

92
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: in there. And it's kind of we're talking about relationships

93
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,679
Speaker 1: right now, but we're not actually talking about relationships today.

94
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: But I do think this can fall into a lot

95
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: of different categories and life. Life in general is just

96
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,679
Speaker 1: like knowing when to leave, taking your dignity, walking away

97
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: with your head held high and having enough self respect

98
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: to know what's not serving you anymore well.

99
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 2: And betting on yourself too. Like, sometimes it's not even

100
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: about you know what's not serving you. It could just

101
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 2: be that you've you're you're in a rut because of circumstance,

102
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: and you have found yourself not happy too, And you know,

103
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 2: it's it's a hard truth to learn, but truthfully, the

104
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 2: only person that can make you happy in your life

105
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 2: is yourself. Yeah, and sometimes you have to just make

106
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 2: a really scary choice, be it in relationship, job, where

107
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 2: you live, you know, hanging out with Sometimes you have

108
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 2: to like leave family behind totally. So you know, it's

109
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: funny too, because I when we were talking about what

110
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: we were going to talk about today, and you know,

111
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 2: again it's because we're the edge. We want to keep

112
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 2: it a little lighter. We were like going over topics

113
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 2: and a lot of stuff when it comes to abandonment

114
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 2: or just even like abandoning things like they tend to

115
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 2: get like really political or they're heavy. And this today

116
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 2: was like sort of a difficult topic for us to

117
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 2: come up with because we want to keep it late.

118
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 2: We want you guys to laugh and I look, I

119
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 2: want to be able to laugh when we're recording these

120
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 2: things because you know, but I do also think too

121
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: that there's times that we need to talk about really

122
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 2: important things that you know aren't so laughy laughy.

123
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: So I was like, where's it going with this?

124
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,559
Speaker 2: Like today we're going to bring some gig goals. In fact,

125
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 2: I even sent Kelly a text today when I read

126
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 2: one of the things that I'm going to share, like

127
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: I've got a camera at my house that called a

128
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 2: furbo and it's so I can look at my dog

129
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: and thrown treats. But it also has this alert that

130
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 2: if the dog is barking, I get an alert on

131
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 2: my phone. It takes a pretty noise, like sometimes if

132
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 2: I'm watching a movie and it's like a really loud

133
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 2: moment happens, like my alert will go off. Yeah, I

134
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 2: laughed so hard at something today that my bark.

135
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: Alert went off and it gave your dog a treat.

136
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 2: No, it just like I got a notification on my phone,

137
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 2: like your dog is barking it.

138
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: You're like, no, it was just me. You know, it's funny.

139
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: You mentioned those ferbos and this is completely just a tangent.

140
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: But I learned a funny story about this recently. I

141
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: think you were actually told the same story, but I

142
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: have to tell the listeners. So can you describe what

143
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: this is. It's like a contraption.

144
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 2: It's a camera that holds treats. It kind of looks

145
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 2: like an hour glass and it holds treats and you

146
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 2: can set it up in your house. It's connected to

147
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 2: Wi Fi and you it's connects to your phone, so

148
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 2: wherever you are, you can like turn your camera on

149
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 2: and it has a microphone so you can talk to

150
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 2: your dog. Your dog can hear you, so you can

151
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 2: hear what's going on in the room. And you can

152
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 2: press a button and that throws a treat.

153
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: Okay, so we were told a story recently for some reason.

154
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: I actually have no idea why I was talking about

155
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: this band because I'm not that big of a fan.

156
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: I mean, like, I can respect what they do, but

157
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: it's just not my vibe. But the Chainsmokers came up

158
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: in our friend group and one of our friends was

159
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: telling us the story that one of the guys I

160
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: guess he told this story on a podcast had one

161
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: of those ferbos and he also had a psycho ex girlfriend,

162
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: I guess, and they but they really hadn't been dating

163
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: that long from what this story sounded like. And she

164
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: installed a different camera or something like somehow got a

165
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: hold of that camera in the furbo and was like

166
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: monitoring him at his house by himself to make sure

167
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: she he wasn't cheating on her.

168
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 2: Well, he probably didn't know what it was. And she's like,

169
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 2: I got this contraption and like didn't say that there

170
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 2: was a camera.

171
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 1: But I will at a good point, okay, you.

172
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 2: Know, like because I have dog sitters come and stay

173
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 2: at my house, and I'm I try to be really

174
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 2: respectful and not like spy on them. I also have

175
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 2: like a ring type camera so I can see if

176
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 2: people are home. So if I'm not home and there's

177
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 2: a doult, like if I'm away traveling for work and

178
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 2: I have a dog sitter, I'll look to see if

179
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 2: their car is here before I do the camera and

180
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 2: if their car is here.

181
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 1: Smart.

182
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 2: But that said, the color like the actual furbo there's

183
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 2: like a light at the bottom of it, so you

184
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 2: can tell if like it's not connected to the Wi Fi,

185
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 2: but if if the camera is on, it changes to

186
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 2: a different color.

187
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: So he must have just not known.

188
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 2: He probably had no idea what the functionality was.

189
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.

190
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 2: And you can record video, you can take photos, so

191
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 2: it's like you can really spy on people if they

192
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 2: don't know what it is.

193
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: And apparently in the podcast he was like, I wasn't

194
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: cheating on her, so like, you know, joke's on her

195
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 1: ultimately because we broke up obviously, But that was the

196
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: funny part of or the ironic part of it was

197
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: he was like not really up to anything, and so

198
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 1: she just was like being crazy. Wow, crazy guys, they're everywhere.

199
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: I don't even know what that means.

200
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 2: Cameras really are everywhere you can.

201
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's scary anyway, So today we were going to

202
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: talk about when you need to abandon ship on your job. Yes,

203
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: here's the thing though, we're about to talk about this topic,

204
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,599
Speaker 1: and I actually don't recommend one thing we're about to

205
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,559
Speaker 1: say to any These are not tips. Do not take

206
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,719
Speaker 1: them as tips. We actually just think that it is

207
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: one of those circumstances where jobs are really hard to leave.

208
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: You've talked about this. You had a job in La

209
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: I believe, right at the record label.

210
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 2: In New York.

211
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, in New York. Okay, Yeah, tell the story

212
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: really fast.

213
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 2: It was my first job. I had always dreamt of

214
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 2: working at Atlantic Records, and I got a job there

215
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,719
Speaker 2: right out of college and sort of worked my way up.

216
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 2: And over the years, you know, the structure changed, a

217
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 2: company was bought and sold a few times, and then

218
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 2: they started to lay off all the senior manager, like

219
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 2: all the senior people, and suddenly I found myself in

220
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 2: a position where I didn't want to be there anymore,

221
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 2: but I felt like if I quit, I had failed

222
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 2: because it was my dream to work there. And you know,

223
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 2: but half of what I loved about it was the

224
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 2: people that I worked with, and suddenly most of them

225
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 2: were gone, and knew people were coming in. It just

226
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 2: didn't feel like home anymore. And then I reminded myself

227
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 2: I was like, wait, I I achieved my dream, like

228
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 2: I do work here, you know, like I can check

229
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 2: it off the box. And I called my old boss,

230
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 2: who had been one of the people that was laid off,

231
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 2: and I said to her, I don't want to work

232
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 2: here anymore, like I want to. I feel like I

233
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 2: want to quit, but I'm scared, and she was like,

234
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 2: you have to quit. And I like laid on my

235
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 2: floor that night and just like cried the most cathartic

236
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 2: cry I ever cried in my life, because it was

237
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 2: like joy had overcome fear. So I was like shaking

238
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 2: because I was also obviously very nervous. It was my

239
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 2: first job and I didn't know what I was going

240
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 2: to do. And I went in the next day and

241
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 2: I like respectfully asked to be let go, and it

242
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 2: didn't work right away. They asked me to stay, but

243
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 2: then granted my wish after the like new regime came

244
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 2: in and got settled. But you know, it was like

245
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 2: it was definitely a lesson that like I could have

246
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 2: stuck around and been stuck in the same job for

247
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 2: thirty years because that was my dream and just been unhappy,

248
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 2: but I had to go with like my gut because

249
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 2: you know, I think that's when people jump out of windows.

250
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 2: You know, it's like when they're not really listening to

251
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 2: what other bodies are and then they're stuck by circumstance.

252
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 2: You know, it's like New York's a really expensive place

253
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 2: to live, and you know, it's you have to keep

254
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 2: up a certain lifestyle at a certain point once you've

255
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 2: made it to a certain level. So anyway, it was

256
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 2: a really big decision, and you know, when you're grappling

257
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 2: with the idea of failure and makes it almost insurmountable

258
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 2: for sure.

259
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: And I think that only gets harder as you get

260
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: older because the stakes are just higher. Like, like you said,

261
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: you have more bills, you have more responsibilities, especially if

262
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: you have a family, Like we can't all just like

263
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: up and leave. However, I do feel like the younger

264
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: generations are really starting to embrace this even more than

265
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: like maybe our parents did. But like, you spend so

266
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: much time at your job, so do you know, like

267
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: really wanting to make sure that your job is a

268
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: part of maybe even your purpose here, or that at

269
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: least you're being fulfilled and you feel like you're giving

270
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: something back or you have a purpose like in general

271
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: each day, even if it's not like your full life purpose,

272
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,119
Speaker 1: if it's maybe just playing a part in that personally

273
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: for you. But anyway, we do understand that you can't

274
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 1: you know, not everyone can do that, but we're if

275
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: you are thinking about it or whatever it's coming across

276
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: your mind, here's some funny stories about ways that people

277
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: did it that maybe you shouldn't do. But like, these

278
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: are the kind of things that when I read them,

279
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: I dream about, Like it's just that feeling of God good,

280
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: that feels so good to do that.

281
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 2: It's like it's really the way we all wish that

282
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 2: we could.

283
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like what they It's like what would happen

284
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: in the movies, I guess. So anyway, hope this brings

285
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: you some joy and some laughter, and don't do this

286
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: at home. Don't try this at home, okay or at work? Chip,

287
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: did you want to go have with your first one?

288
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I guess since I talked about the

289
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 2: laughing out loud one because this one's really straight to

290
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 2: the point and there's not much of a story behind it.

291
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 2: But it's someone that worked at a gas station and

292
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 2: you know those signs that they put up where it's like,

293
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,359
Speaker 2: you know, two litters of coke for saleh blah blah blah.

294
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 2: So the employee it says, my buddy quit his job

295
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 2: at the gas station, and the sign just says, my

296
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 2: boss can change his own damn sign I quit.

297
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: Can you imagine driving down the road and you see

298
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: that I would actually want to pull into that gas station.

299
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that's right. Maybe that's what I mean, offer

300
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 2: him a job.

301
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: I saw this one and I thought it was kind

302
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: of funny. It's that that cathartic thing we're all talking about, like, oh,

303
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: don't you wish you could do this? Sometimes? I actually

304
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: wish I could do this in multiple little spots in

305
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: my life right now, but I don't. But this one's

306
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: called don't hold back. Few people dream of exposing their

307
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: nasty bosses for who they really are on the day

308
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: they finally leave their job. For Kieran that that dream

309
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: came true. When he departed London media company MC. He

310
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:55,119
Speaker 1: sent the entire workforce his resignation email, which was pointedly

311
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: entitled leaving So he sent this to the whole company.

312
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: In it, he thanked the company for the opportunity for

313
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: career growth, but totally let loose on his boss, whom

314
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: he accused of discrimination, poor treatment, and having sex with

315
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: a colleague in the office. Needless to say, the EMAO

316
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: went well and truly viral and soon enough. That's since

317
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: to not oh and soon enough commas or right, I

318
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: thought it was a period. Alan's boss had his very

319
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: own hashtag, which in this case was not something to

320
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: be proud of. Could you imagine you're like, and I

321
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: know you're sleeping with so and so. Like that is

322
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: like literal mic drop for the whole company. They're like,

323
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: he's sleeping with Susan.

324
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 2: And then he, like, poor old Allen's boss has to

325
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 2: like stick around and deal with the consequences of Oh yeah,

326
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 2: unless he got tired, I don't know, yeah, I mean

327
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 2: he probably didn't last long after that. I mean that

328
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 2: that's a that's a common thread through a lot of

329
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: the things that I found online of like a lot

330
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 2: a lot of them were mic drop moments, where like

331
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 2: people just called out their bosses very publicly and we're gone.

332
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 2: This one, this one is just titled my two week notice,

333
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 2: and it's a handwritten letter and the names are redacted,

334
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 2: so I don't know to whom it was written or

335
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 2: who wrote it, but it's pretty saucy, and she says, Dear,

336
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say, boss, I'm sorry that my stepmother died

337
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 2: so suddenly from cancer. I'm sorry that I'm not a

338
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 2: robot and was emotionally affected by her passing and I

339
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 2: had to miss work. I'm sorry that I got sick

340
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 2: and had to miss work so that I didn't get

341
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 2: anyone else sick. I'm sorry that I worked forty seven

342
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 2: and a half hours per week without getting paid the

343
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 2: overtime that I'm legally owed for the last seven months,

344
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 2: and thus have very little time to schedule necessary doctor's

345
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 2: appointments during school hours. Clearly, I'm a terrible employee, and

346
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 2: for that I apologize. I know you hate telling people

347
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 2: how to do their job, but I suggest you start

348
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: looking for my replacement immediately.

349
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: Dam mean my favorite party who. Okay, a couple of things,

350
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: The word that, the fact that you use the word

351
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: redacted and saucy in the same sentence was mind blowing

352
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: to me. That felt really impressive. Also, yeah, I also

353
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: wish that you guys could see Chip while he's reading these,

354
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 1: because he's basically acting them out. It's like, I mean,

355
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: you probably should do your dramatic reading voice because you

356
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: get this little like neck twist. You actually were using

357
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 1: your hands in that one.

358
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 2: I didn't even realize that.

359
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I felt like you really were acting the part.

360
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 2: It's it's nerve wracking to read on this thing because if.

361
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: You know on this thing meeting the podcast.

362
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 2: Podcast, it sounds like you know how to read.

363
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: I know, like a period I did go to school.

364
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, okay, this one short but sweet. This girl

365
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: titled this my letter of resignation, and it just says,

366
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: sorry for your loss. It's me, I'm the loss. Last

367
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: day will be July ninth, twenty twenty one, signed Lisa.

368
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 2: I fucking love Lisa.

369
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: I love it too. Sorry for your loss, It's me,

370
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 1: I'm the loss.

371
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 2: But I wonder if Lisa's sat across from her boss

372
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 2: while the boss read the note, or if it was

373
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 2: like drops it in his box like on a Friday

374
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 2: and just like lets him get it, you know, after

375
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 2: she's left the office.

376
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: Well, I saw a couple different ones, and some people

377
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 1: would get actual sorry for your loss cards, so I mean,

378
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: which is a little dark, but I feel like it

379
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: would be one of those moments where you'd want to

380
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: watch them open it because they would be so confused,

381
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: like what what are you talking about? And then they

382
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 1: open it and you're just like, it's me. I'm the loss,

383
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: bye bitch. You know.

384
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 2: Like, here's one that I thought was really fucking snarky

385
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 2: and I loved it. It's an employee at bed Bath

386
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 2: and Beyond and it's a photograph of life. I don't

387
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 2: know if you remember the sort of product tags that

388
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 2: they put and they had a very specific look and

389
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 2: it was like it's called the new Wave Pro Pro

390
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 2: Infrared Oven and it's got like little descriptor like points.

391
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 2: And then some employee typed out, this is for fat

392
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 2: Fox digital control panel. My boss is the prick comes

393
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 2: with extending ring kit. I'm quitting today, and then it's

394
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 2: got the sizing and the price. I mean, I just

395
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 2: love that. They're like they're like, I'm gonna do this

396
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 2: and I don't care if they fire me because today's

397
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 2: my last day.

398
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: An I mean, they wonder how long it took for

399
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: someone to find it though. It's like this, yeah no,

400
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: and he's like six months later, they're like, who did this? God,

401
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: finally I quit from you know what I mean.

402
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 2: It's so good, like I just I think the reason

403
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 2: why I like it is that, like I like to

404
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 2: believe that I could be that clever and quit that way.

405
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: Well, it's subtle enough to maybe where you could, because

406
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: it's not it's not like face to face confrontation. It's

407
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 1: actually very subtle, so subtle. I don't know how long

408
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: it would take the people to find, right, yeah, unless

409
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of like, how dare you right?

410
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it like ruined some manager's day six months later, You're.

411
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: Right, this is okay. This one is so ridiculous and

412
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: would never happen. But I had to read what this

413
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: article wrote about it because to me, it's just one

414
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: of those things like we were talking about, just in

415
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: your imagination. This is a really funny thing to think about,

416
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: I think. And so this one is called quit by

417
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: singing your resignation. Singing your resignation is a funny way

418
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: to quit your job. You can write out a resignation

419
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: letter in the form of a song and perform it

420
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,479
Speaker 1: for your boss. They'll be so confused they won't know

421
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: what to do. This is a great way to get

422
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: out of your job if you're not happy with it.

423
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 1: You can also use this as an opportunity to show

424
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: off your musical talents. If you can write a good song,

425
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: your boss will definitely be impressed. And if you can't

426
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: sing well, at least you at least you tried. Either way,

427
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: this is a fun and creative way to quit your job.

428
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: So if you're looking for a way to make a

429
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: lasting impression singing, your resignation is the way to go.

430
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 2: Oh you know, it's funny. I saw I found a

431
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 2: video a woman who like who wrote a new version.

432
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 2: I can't remember what the song was now, but she

433
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 2: was quitting Microsoft and it was like all the lyrics

434
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 2: were about Excel spreadsheets and she was like playing guitar.

435
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 2: I mean it was actually cute. It wasn't like nasty,

436
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 2: but it was a yeah, resignation there was, And I'm

437
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 2: going to change up one that I was talking about.

438
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll put a link to it because I thought

439
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 2: this was really funny. But it's a little harder to

440
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 2: describe because it's a video.

441
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: I just can I just say one thing about the

442
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: one I just read? Does it not feel like our

443
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: friend Mary's daughter, like who's a nine year old wrote that,

444
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 1: like it's like a tip a kid would give on

445
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 1: how to quit a job, like, oh, I know what

446
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: she could do. You could sing your resignation and it's like, no, what,

447
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 1: No one would ever do that. That's insane. But the

448
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: wayst article is giving it as an actual tip, like fucking.

449
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:24,199
Speaker 2: Killed right, Yeah, no thanks. There was one. There's a

450
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 2: video online. I think it's I think it's several years old.

451
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,479
Speaker 2: It's got like ninety million views. But it's from a

452
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 2: girl named Marina Schiffrin, who I guess is a writer,

453
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 2: and she was working at a news corporation that was,

454
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 2: you know, making news video clips, editing them telling stories,

455
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 2: and she did an interpretive dance to a Kanye song

456
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 2: at four point thirty in the morning from her office

457
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 2: when no one was there, and that's how she quit.

458
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: Oh I think I saw that an interpretive dance to

459
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: a Kanye song. I would love like on.

460
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 2: The screen, it's like it's four thirty in the morning.

461
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 2: I'm at Wark. My boss values quantity over quality. All

462
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 2: he cares about is click views. Here's a video that

463
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 2: might get some views.

464
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 1: As so, which Kanye song do we know it is?

465
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 2: It's a song called Gone.

466
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: M I just like think of like, for some reason,

467
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: the only Kanye lyric that's popping in my head right now,

468
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: as when he's talking about going a rump a pump

469
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: pumming on someone's ass, it's so inappropriate. He is very

470
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: clever with c Yeah okay, yeah uh. This comes from

471
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: that same article that gave the great tip of singing

472
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: your quitting whatever your resignation was, Like, what's that word again?

473
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: This Another tip that they gave was to send a

474
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: singing telegram. Have you ever done that?

475
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 2: I've received a singing telegram and like, yeah, it was

476
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 2: actually here in Nashville, like a week after I started,

477
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 2: so I barely knew anyone in the office and my

478
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 2: friends from La a fake Delli parton Oh My God,

479
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 2: and people thought that she was like an artist that

480
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 2: had just snuck into our building to like try and

481
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 2: get a deal or something.

482
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: That's pretty funny. I sent one to an ex boyfriend

483
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 1: one time. It was our first so the thing was,

484
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: you know that like awkward time in your relationship. I

485
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: actually think we've talked about this on a podcast before.

486
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 1: Similar to having to get used to, like using the

487
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 1: bathroom in front of each other. Is also like the

488
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: first birthday, and especially if someone's birthday happens to come

489
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: pretty quickly after you started dating. Like it's a really

490
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: fine line because you're like, oh, I got to do something,

491
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 1: but you don't want to go too extravagant to where

492
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: you're spending too much money. And then they're like, whoa

493
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: pump the brakes, bitch, We've been dating a month.

494
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 2: You know, I haven't even seen you naked.

495
00:25:55,040 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: Right, Well, yeah, but I'm not true, but yeah, but

496
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: it's that timing, And it was it was that situation,

497
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: like I think we had been dating a couple months.

498
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 1: He had in fact seen me naked, so I felt

499
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 1: like I needed to do something, but I also was

500
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: like I didn't want to be too extravagant. So I

501
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: was like, oh, I'll go to the joke route, and

502
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 1: I sent a singing telegram to his office.

503
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 2: Uh huh.

504
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 1: I thought he would think it was so funny, but

505
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 1: he was like, I was so stressed out. He said,

506
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,479
Speaker 1: it's the most awkward, stressful thing. And he was like

507
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: everyone in the office was like looking at me for

508
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: my reaction. I sent him a Marilyn Monroe so she

509
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 1: was like kind that. He was like she was probably

510
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: like in her sixties or seventies and she was like

511
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: being sexy on me, and so, you know, people thought

512
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: it was funny, but then I was stressed out, like

513
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 1: it was just a lot. But yeah, I still think

514
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: it's a really funny gift.

515
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I can relate, but it's like, in hindsight,

516
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 2: it was funny as shit.

517
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: Right.

518
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 2: So anyway, my office environment was not very it's not

519
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 2: very stiff. So I don't know where this person worked.

520
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: If they was in the music business too. Yeah, yeah, anyway,

521
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: so I thought singing sending a singing telegram would be

522
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: a really funny like quitting idea. But who would you send?

523
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: And what song?

524
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 2: Bye bye bae? I could Yeah, what if? What if

525
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 2: you said, like, I mean, there must be like a

526
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 2: Dolly Bud nine to nine to five.

527
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: And then it's like no, but I don't anymore.

528
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 2: Bye?

529
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like bye bye bye. I think that's pretty funny.

530
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. If you guys have any other uh

531
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: singing telegram ideas for quitting, send him to d Edge

532
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: I especially. I'm just gonna laugh. Okay, ship what you

533
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: got next?

534
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 2: So this is my favorite one and my last and favorite.

535
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: I was saving the best for last.

536
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm saving the best for last, And I think

537
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 2: there's probably a lot of listeners that are aware of this,

538
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 2: but I think this guy's a fucking legend. And I

539
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 2: was surprised that Kelly didn't know about this story because

540
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 2: it was loose. But the legend named Steven Slater, and

541
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 2: he was a flight attendant on Jet Blue and on

542
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 2: August ninth, twenty ten, after a flight from Pittsburgh to

543
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 2: JFK and New York City, he announced over the public

544
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 2: address system on the plane that he'd been abused by

545
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 2: a passenger that he was quitting, and then he grabbed

546
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 2: two beers, guzzled them open to the emergency exit, employed

547
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,360
Speaker 2: the slide, slid out, and then ripped his tie off,

548
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 2: threw it in the tarmac, and walked to his car. Wow.

549
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm so fucking pissed that I wasn't on

550
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 2: that flight to see that, because subsequently he was arrested

551
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 2: later that day.

552
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:52,959
Speaker 1: That's such the want Wah yeah, yeah, so savage he got,

553
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: gets on the loudspeakers, says his piece, and then he

554
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: doesn't just walk out the door, he goes down the

555
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: slide like a true savage would.

556
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,479
Speaker 2: I mean, it is literally the best mic drop story

557
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 2: in the world.

558
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: Also that he chugged two beers, like rank two beers.

559
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 2: It was all because some woman stood up too early.

560
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 2: Oh a bag from the overhead ben.

561
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: I wonder what she said that set him off so bad.

562
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 2: Well, it says, you know his This is according to

563
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 2: the Wikipedia, because the fact.

564
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: That it's a Wikipedia is wild.

565
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it said. Slater's attorney has said that at the

566
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 2: beginning of the flight, two female passengers had argued over

567
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 2: the allocated bag space in the over had been Once

568
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 2: the plane landed, the dispute flared again when one of

569
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 2: the women was told that a bag that she had

570
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 2: checked at the gate would not be immediately available. She

571
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 2: then began to curse it. Slater. Yeah, so he cursed

572
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 2: them out over the loud speaker. I wish I was

573
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 2: on that flight he's doing now.

574
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll have to report back to the

575
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: listeners on that. I kind of want to end on

576
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: that note because it's so good. But I thought this

577
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: one was kind of funny. Is like someone left this

578
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: note on their computer. They didn't say anything, and it

579
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: just says Brooks was here because he's like I'm not anymore.

580
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: Oh my god. These are just really funny to think about.
