1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: My high school bully wants a job, not our chance.

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: Aren't going to get my revenge, So my the a.

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:08,719
Speaker 2: Hole I mean, Sam, The question is you know you've

4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 2: shared generously many times of your own tales and bullying.

5
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 2: If someone applied to OKOP like one of my middle

6
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 2: school bullies, the salad boy inventor, applied to be our

7
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,799
Speaker 2: top editor, no, deny instantly.

8
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: My female thirty five high school tormentor male thirty five

9
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: is one of the applicants to a job in the

10
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: company I work for. The position he is seeking is

11
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: below me, which means he is going to be in

12
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,919
Speaker 1: direct contact with me many hours a day. I will

13
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: add that I am not the one doing the hiring,

14
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: but as I am the one who knows the nature

15
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: of our job best, my input has a very significant impact,

16
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 1: and my recommendation is likely usually the one that ends

17
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: up happening. So ope he got all the power.

18
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

19
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: Out of all the applicants, he is by far the

20
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: most merited and suitable for the job.

21
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 2: Yikes. Oh man.

22
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: My problem is that this man has made my adolescence

23
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: very hard, to the point that I literally had physical

24
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: pain every morning before going to school. I wanted to

25
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: quit many times, but that was not an option to

26
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: my parents, who threatened to kick me out if I

27
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: didn't graduate. Dang dang, or opee man, this bully sounds awful,

28
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: but maybe he's changed, you know, or not. I think

29
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: it would just make it hard for OP to do

30
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: their job.

31
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying is I think that, like because

32
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 2: of that, that makes them not the most qualified person.

33
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: I love my job now and know I'm strong, and

34
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: he probably wouldn't be able to bully me anymore. So

35
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: That's not what I'm worried about. I just can't have

36
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: a reminder of my darkest time of my life working

37
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: with me every day. I've contemplated finding another job, but

38
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: we live in a middle sized city and my options

39
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 1: to find an equivalent position is minimal and with an

40
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: at least thirty percent decrease in weight if I'm not

41
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: willing to locate to another city slash country. Dang my god.

42
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: I mean, Op, I feel like that you could just

43
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: come clean maybe about it.

44
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and say like, I think this person could make

45
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: like a terrible work environment, especially for me.

46
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: Exactly, say hey, this would be a terrible work environment.

47
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: This person was like abusive to me. Yeah, the job

48
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: he's seeking is probably once in a lifetime for anyone

49
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: who gets it, hays great and has a lot of

50
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: opportunities to make a career and climb higher. After two

51
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: interviews with each applicant, they have chosen five candidates and

52
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 1: it's now my recommendation that comes into play. I will

53
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: sit in a third interview with each of the five

54
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: beside management in HR. This part scares me. Hope he's

55
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: gonna be in the room with the bully face to face. Yeah, wow,

56
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: I have two other applicants that would do the job perfectly,

57
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: so it won't affect our work at all. He is

58
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: just more meritith to rephrase Moss from it crowd. I

59
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: am in an ethical pickle. What can I do? And

60
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: there is an update, a juicy update. But John, what

61
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: do you think, dude? I need to see him face

62
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 1: this bully. But again, I think like he should come

63
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: forward to the team and be like, look, this person

64
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: absolutely tortured me, and like even besides the fact that

65
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: he might create like a hostile working environment just like

66
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: in general for everyone, but I know it would be

67
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: for me. I cannot give my recommendation. Yeah, I think

68
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: it could just become pretty clean. Just be honest about it.

69
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: You don't have to necessarily like give.

70
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: A whole stump speech on it or whatever.

71
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: So onto the update, I will try to answer every

72
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: chat request individually, but I wanted to answer questions I

73
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: got most here. What the bullying was bad. It was

74
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: both verbal and physical. It was the punching bag for

75
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 1: a good part of three years. I had to cut

76
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: my hair very short to avoid being pulled around by it.

77
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: Last year it was the worst because he could grope

78
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: and touch me to see why I wasn't developing like

79
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: the rest of the girls our age. I was very

80
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 1: skinny growing up. That's really really bad. That's just a

81
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: salt awful Yes. Too many asked how I could live

82
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: with myself knowing that I'm not being impartial and not

83
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: putting what's best for the company first.

84
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 2: Who are these fucking.

85
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: Capitalist redditors that are being like, why aren't you putting

86
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: random capitalist company in front of your own needs?

87
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 2: What it's Bob from Accounting being like, wow, you should

88
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 2: really consider the company's priorities.

89
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: As I said, I do feel guilty because he was

90
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: the best for the job, and with cod it's harder

91
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: for people to find work, et cetera. I feel very guilty, indeed,

92
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: but it was either living with the guilt or the memories,

93
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: and I chose the guilts.

94
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 2: Three.

95
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if he recognized me. I sat on

96
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: the second interview via zoom, and it didn't seem that

97
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: he knew me. So after I wrote here, I decided

98
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: to confront my demons and sit the third interview to

99
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: get a better idea of what he's become. He either

100
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: didn't remember me at all or just played it cool.

101
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: He was very pleasant and charming, but I don't know

102
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: if I was making things up in my mind or

103
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: not when it was my turn to ask questions, but

104
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: his whole demeanor and the way he looked at me

105
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: was different. If that's just my imagination or not, I

106
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: didn't care. I thought I had to tell hr about

107
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: my past, not the details, but that we have history,

108
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: keeping it professional. But before I knew it, I was

109
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 1: bawling my eyes out in her office and I told

110
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: her everything. She told me not to worry and to

111
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: go home. Later I got an email that they're going

112
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: with the next on the list. To all this drama

113
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: was for nothing. I made a big deal out of

114
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: it in my head. But according to HR, the manager

115
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: didn't even want the details. It was enough that I

116
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: didn't like him. I've started therapy again. This experience made

117
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: me realiz that I'm far from being one hundred percent

118
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: recovered and still need to work on myself.

119
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 2: Thank you everyone for listening. Yeah, I mean horror p again,

120
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 2: Like he's not the best for the job because of

121
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 2: everything that we talked about, Like it was definitely the

122
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 2: best move to come clean, be honest and pick someone

123
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 2: who'll probably do a great job.

124
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: And also, like when you work in a company and

125
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: with a team, it's not about the best individual for

126
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: the job, it's about the best team member abs and

127
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: so those going to be two different things. Yes, Like

128
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: you could have someone with a higher pedigree that's maybe

129
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 1: more proficient, but if they can't work well with the

130
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: other people in the company, then they're not going to

131
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: be a good fit exactly, And so I think that's

132
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: the case here. But I would love to know your

133
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: work stories. Have you ever worked with the high school

134
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: bully or middle school bully or any kind of bully

135
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: or work bully. Yeah, tell us your work bully stories,

136
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: and let's get into this next one, let's do it.

137
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 3: My shortking fiance won't let me wear heels to my wedding.

138
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: Oo oh my god goodness, oh my wow.

00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 3: My fiance, Mail thirty one is short. He is aways

140
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 3: been a source of insecurity for him, and he takes

141
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 3: others comments seriously.

142
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 2: What comments like yo, high five? Sorry my bad, you're short. Hey,

143
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 2: don't get short with me, buddy.

144
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 3: Come on, I'm sure it's got to be like the

00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 3: like wow, you're short comments, you know, like you're you

146
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 3: guys are both tall, so you probably get like the

147
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 3: how's the weather up there? Like a little thing.

148
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 2: We are so tall, you know, we're both like six eight.

149
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 3: I can't thought you were seven feet.

150
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 2: People get that mixed up all the time, you know,

151
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 2: the short people.

152
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 3: You guys were taller than I thought you would be.

153
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 3: I was like, oh they tall.

154
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 2: Chairs n't do that. Yeah. Yeah.

155
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 3: With their wedding approaching, he asked if I'd consider wearing

156
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 3: flat shoes at the wedding. I was confused, like very confused,

157
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 3: and I asked if he was joking, but he went

158
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,520

Speaker 3: awkward in photos and in front of the guests. I refuse,

162
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,040

163
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,880

Speaker 2: All right?

229
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 3: All right, Ailey had is mom involved, and she's pushing

230
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 3: me to reconsider when I refuse to discuss it. She

231
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 3: said that my unwillingness coroborate is a huge indicator of

232
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 3: my level of maturity. She then went on a long

233
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 3: rant about what Link's real wives are willing to go

234
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 3: help out their husbands and said that I'm apparently too

235
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 3: immature and shallow to be committed in a marriage if

236
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 3: I make such an issue out of it.

237
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 2: And obviously too tall too. You know, it just impresses me.

238
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 2: It just impresses me sometimes the words that people will

239
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 2: speak from their mouths. Yeah, I am like, I just

240
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 2: can't imagine saying something so mind numbingly insane to someone like,

241
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 2: h how do you do that?

242
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 3: It's super weird for me because I'm in the same shoes.

243
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 3: I am engaged, I'm planning a wedding, and my fiance

244
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 3: is shorter than me, And I'm like, I just I'm like,

245
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 3: why does everyone care so much?

246
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 2: I mean, isn't it.

247
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: Enough that, like she's like marrying the guy, Like she's like,

248
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: I chose you in all of your uh stature to glory.

249
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 2: The lesson here is love is not enough. Yeah, that's

250
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 2: the lesson of the day. Yo. If you're not six foot,

00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 3: I being selfish? It's not just about what I want,

314
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 3: but the high heels help make the wedding dress look better,

315
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 3: and I feel I deserve to look my best at

316
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 3: my own wedding, just like every bride stream. His insecurity

317
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 3: is preventing me from getting that. Am I the asshole.

318
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 2: Again? I just I'm floored humans first think these words,

319
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 2: then have the audacity to speak them out loud. It

320
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 2: just blows me away. I shouldn't be surprised this.

321
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's definitely like like a little I mean,

322
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: it's just insecure.

323
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 2: I don't think she's an a hole, but.

324
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 3: Like, there might be some edits on this that make

325
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 3: some of this make more sense. So to clarify, I'm

326
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 3: slightly taller, but he said he doesn't want me to

327
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 3: look any taller than that, So apparently it's just a

328
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 3: slight thing. But if she puts on a few more

329
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 3: inches's it'll look really big.

330
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 2: Okay.

331
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 3: The guests he was talking about are his male friends

332
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 3: and the men in the family. They comment on his

333
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 3: height all the time, calling him names from shorty, Kuala,

334
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 3: little d what, and hobbit, and the list is long.

335
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 3: They even have a list of jokes about him. Like

336
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 3: I said, I'm slightly taller and he doesn't want me

337
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 3: to be any taller. We had similar arguments about this

338
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 3: height issue before, but this is the first time he

339
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 3: asked me not to wear heels. Other times he lets

340
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 3: me wear them, but sometimes he refuses to attend events

341
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 3: with me. I'm twenty seven. For those who were asking

342
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 3: about my age, I was so happy that update wasn't

343
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 3: there because I'm like this literally sounds like.

344
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: Ah man, he won't attend events. Why it feels like

345
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: it's less to do with like his his wife or

346
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: his fiance and more than you, just like all the

347
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: men and his family are just clowning on him.

348
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 3: Because it sounds like that insecurity. Most people like have

349
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 3: an insecurity, Like we aren't born with insecurities. It's usually given.

350
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 3: But like, yeah, I get where you're like, these people

351
00:15:58,760 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 3: are gonna make fun of me and they're gonna be

352
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 3: the wedding I mean one like that's wrong with them.

353
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: We fight people that actively make fun of you on

354
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: your special day. No, if you're a wedding, you can

355
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: like in fight whoever you want.

356
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I literally, So I was asking because I found

357
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 3: this story. I was asking my fiance Graham about this

358
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 3: and he was like. I was like, does it bother you?

359
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 3: And he's like, no, I like it when you wear heels.

360
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 3: It makes it look like such a power move. But

361
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 3: he's like because he's like, then you look like, you know,

362
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 3: like some girls model height next to me. Yeah, Like

363
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 3: I'm walking around like yeah, He's like, no, it's a

364
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 3: power move. I love it when you wear heels and

365
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 3: we're out in public and I'm like it, And you know,

366
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 3: sometimes you can put them an optimal height to be

367
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 3: at certain levels certain parts of my anatomy. So he's fine.

368
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 2: That is what a short king sounds like, ladies. Yeah,

369
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 2: it's let it be known that Graham Stephen is a

370
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 2: secure short king.

371
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

372
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's looking at all the positives and not I

373
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: mean like, oh, this is what I don't have.

374
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a lot of people like you must be insecure.

375
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 3: I'm like or like, I've gotten a few like on

376
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 3: social media like why are you wearing at heels? You're

377
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 3: out with him, like.

378
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 2: He's doing what what are you talking about?

379
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 1: Your people can be secure in themselves.

380
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 2: Incredible.

381
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like I feel like I think, like

382
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: if it if it bothers him that much, like like

383
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: what sacrifice is bigger? I guess it's like is it

384
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: gonna ru Is it gonna ruin the wedding?

385
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's kind of a hard thing because there's like

386
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 3: no in between. It's either you wear something that makes

387
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 3: the height difference there or not, and then she's not

388
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 3: gonna feel as pretty, but he's not gonna feel good

389
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 3: she's wearing heels, So it's kind of like a I

390
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 3: don't know.

391
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 1: Like like I guess like that. I think the question

392
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: is who will feel worse.

393
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 2: I don't know. I just like I just cannot imagine

394
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 2: like my future fiance being like, Okay, this is my

395
00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 2: this is what I've which probably she's probably pictured, you know, what,

396
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 2: she what she wants and like thought about this a

397
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 2: lot and being like no, I just I can't. I

398
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 2: can't fathom that. It's just like but I feel like.

399
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: I think, like, well, one, I kind of see this

400
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:18,719
Speaker 1: as red flag and big a little bit, like this

401
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: is something that he's going to be like in like

402
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 1: he's marrying someone taller than him if he's not secure

403
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 1: in this, like this is this is not gonna Also,

404
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: his mom's like.

405
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 3: I think his mom was just trying to protect him

406
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 3: if I had to guess with those updates, because I

407
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 3: you know, it's probably because male friends and the men

408
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 3: and their family, and I feel like she's just trying

409
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 3: to help protect him a little bit, because if she

410
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 3: understands she's watched this happen to him for years, she

411
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 3: might have a little bit of a different understanding.

412
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: I think he she she should still wear high heels,

413
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 1: but she should have a sit down conversation where it's like, hey,

414
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: like you have to be comfortable with be being taller

415
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: than you, because like like if we're going to get married,

416
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not you know, gonna get any shorter.

417
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: I think she need have to sit down conversation and

418
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: be like, hey, like absolutely.

419
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 2: Nothing like this height is going to change.

420
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 1: Uh we need to accept this like right now, because

421
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: if not, like he's still he's gonna be a big

422
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 1: just like he will be made.

423
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 2: Fun of and then he'll I don't know anything works.

424
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 2: A friend gifts gifts her some like really nice high

425
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 2: heels and he's like, oh, like, I don't know. I

426
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 2: feel like there's so many scenarios where it would like

427
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 2: come up, and.

428
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's definitely going to come up, just like be

429
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 1: here or you know, uh, divorce or or I.

430
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 2: Have a third option? Yeah yeah, like surgery.

431
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, dude, is that a thing six inches you

432
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: can get? You can get six inches?

433
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 3: Yes, that's cool. Think you have another option? Maybe she

434
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 3: could if she was because I feel like most brides

435
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 3: do about like three inch heels. She could see she

436
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 3: can go down to like a one and a half

437
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 3: to two, so that way it still kind of gives

438
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 3: her those nice lines, right, But then it's only if

439
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 3: he if she's like an inch or two taller. It's

440
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 3: only making her about three inch is taller. I wonder

441
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 3: if that would be like a good happy man.

442
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: I think that combination with him and like yeah, rock,

443
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: like hey, I'll give some and yeah, you're saying you

444
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: were saying a joke.

445
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 2: One no, no, no, not actually lifts his shoes.

446
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: Like I mean, there's like dress shoes where you can

447
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: add like three board inches probably for guys.

448
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, So there are these things. I love how

449
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 3: you guys look at me. So I don't know, I

450
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 3: don't the answers. I know Graham doesn't have any of these,

451
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 3: but he does know some other men that are very

452
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 3: short that sometimes her red carpet events will wear lifts

453
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 3: in their shoes and you can't tell until he's like

454
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 3: his shoes, so he can't tell they're down clothes, and

455
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 3: they'll put them on and be like, oh, what the heck,

456
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 3: I'm up higher. Yeah, So there are lifts that could

457
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 3: help with that. So honestly, you could get like a

458
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 3: two inch lift and it would be the same and

459
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 3: she could still wear.

460
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: Her Interesting, so what if you got two inch lifts

461
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: with a heeled shoe already? Right, like three four inches.

462
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, because that could keep the If you put a

463
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 3: lift in there and then she just wore a slightly

464
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 3: shorter heel, it would keep in the same distance. But

465
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 3: that might be the happy medium.

466
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: Well, I think we've solved that. We've come to us

467
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: for marriage counseling because we.

468
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,640

472
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 3: Are either of you guys married?

473
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 2: No?

474
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,440

Speaker 3: marriage counselors. Yes, and none of us have been married.

476
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 2: Exactly because we have the outsider's perspective. It is so

477
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 2: important to not know things. Yeah, you got people about them?

478
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, I think that's what, like the whole internet

479
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: was built for. Is just like people who have no

480
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 1: expertise giving information about things preached us.

481
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think the story. Yeah, do you want

Speaker 3: poop Knight.

00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 2: No?

487
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, you gotta check out poop knife.

488
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 2: Is that is that a person or a story?

489
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 3: It's a Reddit story. Hold on, I'll find it. Oh

490
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 3: my God, oh, there we go. I found it. I

491
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 3: found the I found it the original. It's now on

492
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 3: Museum of Reddit, and that's like, how how iconic it is? Okay,

493
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 3: my family poop's big. Maybe it's genetic, maybe it's our diet,

494
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 3: but everyone bursts giant locks of crap. If anyone has

495
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 3: laid a megapoop, you know that sometimes they won't flush.

496
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 3: It lays across the hole in the bottom of the bowl,

497
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 3: and the vortex of draining water merely gives it a spin.

498
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 3: It bocks. You can you tell where this is going

499
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 3: because you can't. Growing up, this was common enough of

500
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 3: occurrence that our family had a poop knife. It was

501
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 3: an old, rusty kitchen knife that hung on and in

502
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 3: the launde room, only to be used for that purpose.

503
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 3: It was normal to walk through the hallway and have

504
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 3: someone called, hey, can you get me the poop knife.

505
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 3: I thought it was a smatted kit You've your plunge,

506
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 3: your toilet brush, and your poop knife. Fast forward to

507
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 3: twenty two. It's been a day or two between poops,

508
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 3: and I'm over at my friend's house. My friend was

509
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 3: the local dealer and had guests over because you can't

510
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 3: buy without sitting on your butt and sampling it for

511
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 3: an hour. I excuse myself to lay a gigantic turd.

512
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 3: I look down and see its sideways. Once I crack

513
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,479
Speaker 3: the door and call it for my friend. He arrives

514
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 3: and asks I asked him for his poop knife. By

515
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 3: what your poop knife? I say, I need to use

516
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 3: it please. WTF is a poop knife? Obviously he has one,

517
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 3: but maybe he calls it by a more delicate name,

518
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 3: A fequal cleaverer, a dung diver, a quana glove. I

519
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 3: explained what is I want and why I want it?

520
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,360
Speaker 3: He starts giggling, then laughing. Then lots of people start laughing.

521
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 3: It turns out the music had stopped and everyone heard

522
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 3: my police through the door. It also turns out none

523
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 3: of them had poop knives. It was just my fucked

524
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 3: up family and they're fucked up bells to fuck my life. God.

525
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 3: I told this to my wife last night, who was

526
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 3: amused and horrified at the same time. It turns out

527
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 3: that she did not know what a poop knife was

528
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 3: and had been using the old resty knife hanging in

529
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 3: the utility closet as a basic utility knife. Oh Thankfully

530
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 3: she didn't cook with it, but she used it to

531
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 3: open Amazon boxes. She will now be getting her own

532
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 3: utility knife.

533
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: Oh, there's so many layers of terribleness to that.

534
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 3: I don't even care if this one's real or not.

535
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 3: It's real because I want it to be. It is

536
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 3: one of the most iconic Reddit stories.

537
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 2: The whole knife for dookie. So I ever heard of

538
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 2: a poop shovel? Yeah, but that's like a nature right. Yeah,

539
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 2: it's like you go to pu Yeah. Yeah, but the

540
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 2: whole dirt. Yeah, but like a poop knife as a whole?

541
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:00,479
Speaker 2: Where do you hang?

542
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 3: Oh?

543
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 2: Hang?

544
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 3: Commic question? Why is this not in the bathroom instead

545
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 3: of lund room? Answer? We only had one poop knife,

546
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 3: and the laundry room was central to all three bathrooms.

547
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 3: I have no idea why we didn't have three poop knives.

548
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 3: All I know is that we didn't. We had the one,

549
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 3: possibly because my father was notoriously cheap about the weirdest thing. So, yes,

550
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 3: we shared our poop knife.

551
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 2: So I think in their defense, think about the I

552
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:30,360
Speaker 2: mean tens tends to hundreds of millions clogged toilets yearly

553
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,439
Speaker 2: that could be saved from a poop knife. Like you

554
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 2: really have to sit back and think about the math

555
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 2: of the situation in the water you're probably saving. So

556
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 2: are we are we saving the rainforest with poop knives?

557
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 2: I think that's the question. I think.

558
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: So you know you're you're saving the cutdown of real

559
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 1: logs on your own logs.

560
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 2: Go to work on those logs.

561
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 3: Baby, Sorry, I accidentally hit the button. Tell me it

562
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:06,360
Speaker 3: was on vlogs. Thought you said logs spread it. It's

563
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 3: so wild.
