Speaker 1: the episode.
Speaker 2: Hello, Hey, hey, how's going It's going good?
Speaker 1: How are you doing pretty well? All right? Isaiah, twenty
Speaker 1: two years old in Utah is on experimental male birth control.
Speaker 1: How is that going?
Speaker 2: That's right? So it's pretty good, especially compared to like
Speaker 2: female birth control. And it's experimental, so I do get
Speaker 2: paid like one hundred dollars a visit, so that's kind
Speaker 2: of tight, and it works. I've been doing it since
Speaker 2: probably August or September of last year. It didn't like
Speaker 2: start working working until probably January or February of this year.
Speaker 2: But the way that it works is that every morning
Speaker 2: I just put this alcohol based gel on my shoulders
Speaker 2: and that's supposed to decrease my sperm count to under
Speaker 2: a million. I guess is a threshold while also giving
Speaker 2: me like testosterone to like resupplement it. But but it
Speaker 2: do be making me a little hormonal. Can't even lie.
Speaker 2: But it's far less invasive than an IUD or anything
Speaker 2: like that, so yeah, I can't really complain. It's it's
Speaker 2: kind of tight.
Speaker 1: How does the gel get from your shoulder to your balls?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's a pretty good question. I also wonder about, like,
Speaker 2: you know, like placement of it, because it kind of
Speaker 2: goes on my shoulders and my chest. But I yeah,
Speaker 2: I guess it's just a good spot to lower that
Speaker 2: testosterone or something. I don't know. They don't really tell
Speaker 2: me much about how it works. They're just like, here's
Speaker 2: what your blood looks like. You know, blood levels, and
Speaker 2: you know your sperm counts going down. So once a
Speaker 2: month I bring in a sample as well as they
Speaker 2: take my blood and like vitals and just make sure
Speaker 2: that I'm stable.
Speaker 1: Now, do you do you know if this has any
Speaker 1: long term effects?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: I think that, like fingers crossed, that it doesn't. I've
Speaker 2: actually talked to them because I've noted kind of the
Speaker 2: main thing that they said going into it was that
Speaker 2: the one negative side effect that they've noticed is that
Speaker 2: it does make the patients that are on it much
Speaker 2: more prone to like irritability or frustration. And I was like,
Speaker 2: That's not really gonna happen to me, because I'm a
Speaker 2: chill dude. I'm not like that, I'm super chill. But
Speaker 2: I kind of noticed recently, very retrospectively, that it has
Speaker 2: definitely had that effect. I'm like a dog person in general,
Speaker 2: but this whole year, anytime a dog hops up on me,
Speaker 2: I like freak out, like yell at the dog, and
Speaker 2: so I just get frustrated by little things that I
Speaker 2: don't normally get frustrated by. But I've actually talked to
Speaker 2: the doctor about that, and they've said that sort of
Speaker 2: the first thing to come back to normal will be
Speaker 2: my hormones when I do stop taking it, and then
Speaker 2: eventually the very last thing that's going to turn back
Speaker 2: on is my sperm's ability to create sperm. So it's
Speaker 2: kind of tight too, because if I don't take it
Speaker 2: for like a day, it's not like I am all
Speaker 2: of a sudden going to be producing sperm again. It
Speaker 2: takes like a week to reset. So it is kind
Speaker 2: of a good option once it does hit the markets
Speaker 2: for someone who's not looking to have kids for you know,
Speaker 2: like in their twenties or something, they can just put
Speaker 2: that on every day and keep it moving.
Speaker 1: How much are they paying you for this?
Speaker 2: I think that collectively it's going to be like maybe
Speaker 2: Shy have like three thousand dollars, it's like one hundred
Speaker 2: dollars a visit. And actually, during a big section of
Speaker 2: the part before I went onto, before I started the
Speaker 2: efficacy process right because before it works, before your sperm
Speaker 2: counts below that, you got to wear a condom, use
Speaker 2: other forms of birth control. But before that there was
Speaker 2: this they would have you use this at home. But
Speaker 2: me kit like tester where you would actually almost like
Speaker 2: test your own semen samples to see what they showed
Speaker 2: results on. And then I was doing like one hundred
Speaker 2: and twenty five when I was using that, But now
Speaker 2: that I'm in this efficacy process, it's just like, Okay,
Speaker 2: you get a hundred, we take your blood, we take
Speaker 2: you know, a sample of your semen, and you go
Speaker 2: home like so, yeah, it's not bad money.
Speaker 1: Do you have a partner?
Speaker 2: I do. Yeah. That was like a big part of it.
Speaker 2: You had to have be in like a monogamous relationship
Speaker 2: for I think I said something like two years when
Speaker 2: he signed up, so yeah.
Speaker 1: And how she feel about the whole thing.
Speaker 2: At first, she was really stressed out about it, kind
Speaker 2: of understandably, like like she was down with it because
Speaker 2: she's had pretty bad experiences with birth control. But once
Speaker 2: we started this efficacy process where I'm not allowed to
Speaker 2: use a condom, that's like stressful as fuck, but she's
Speaker 2: actually I think she's into it. She's also just like
Speaker 2: happy that she doesn't have to be with someone who
Speaker 2: like almost like forces them to be put onto a
Speaker 2: birth control right, as women often find themselves being or
Speaker 2: like you know, if a condom breaks, she doesn't have
Speaker 2: to deal with like Plan B or whatever. So she's
Speaker 2: come around for sure, But it was stressful for both
Speaker 2: of us at first because like they say it works,
Speaker 2: but it doesn't actually work.
Speaker 1: Is she happy that, like she doesn't have to be
Speaker 1: on birth control because you're on birth control?
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, And we're both pretty like, I don't know,
Speaker 2: big feminists, So it's kind of like cool to be
Speaker 2: part of this process because in general health care for
Speaker 2: women it's pretty rough. So to be part of this
Speaker 2: like trial process for male birth control, which we should
Speaker 2: have had ages ago, is kind of cool. She actually
Speaker 2: wishes it was more invasive, though. She wished that they
Speaker 2: like had to like put a shot in my dick
Speaker 2: every month or something, just like even the playing field
Speaker 2: because like getting an IUD is horrific and I don't know,
Speaker 2: So there's that part of her that's like it could
Speaker 2: be worse and that would maybe make her a little happy,
Speaker 2: just as far as you know the status quo, would
Speaker 2: you do it.
Speaker 1: If they had to take a shot in your dick hole?
Speaker 2: I would try it. I think, like, yeah, I think
Speaker 2: I do it for science. It's easy to say that
Speaker 2: now though, It's like if I saw the needle right,
Speaker 2: can't can't? Yeah, you know what I mean. I try
Speaker 2: it once. Probably if it was like awful, I might
Speaker 2: not keep coming back.
Speaker 1: Have there been any like negative side effects that like
Speaker 1: like that you you said the irritability was one and
Speaker 1: then uh huh any any anything else besides the eared ability.
Speaker 2: Actually, I do think that my sex drive is like up,
Speaker 2: which is wild because I'm also like a twenty two
Speaker 2: year old boy man whatever you want to call me,
Speaker 2: So it's not like I had a problem with that before.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I do think that I'm like hornier than
Speaker 2: I should be, which is saying a lot. Maybe we
Speaker 2: all feel that way, but I feel like it's extra.
Speaker 1: Do you want to have a child?
Speaker 3: Day?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: Actually, this thing's been nice because it has sort of
Speaker 2: like cemented in my mind that as soon as I'm
Speaker 2: off of it, I'd actually just like to get to
Speaker 2: affect me if I can find a doctor who will
Speaker 2: do it. So it's kind of like affected me light mmmmmmmmm.
Speaker 1: Mmmm. Now uh, are you doing anything else for work
Speaker 1: or is your full time job testing this h mail birth?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 2: I do have a full time job, so this is
Speaker 2: just like a side hustle. It's nice, I, you know,
Speaker 2: get one hundred dollars once a month so I can
Speaker 2: like buy video games or take my girlfriend out to
Speaker 2: a nice dinner. But it's definitely just like supplementary income
Speaker 2: and I don't do anything serious with it. It's like
Speaker 2: I think of it like free money.
Speaker 1: What's your job?
Speaker 2: I work at tech support for like a cell company,
Speaker 2: so it's like it's like kind of like a call
Speaker 2: center job, but it's like high brid so I work
Speaker 2: from home. But technology of people?
Speaker 1: Are you tech support for a sperm cell company? Like
Speaker 1: some sperm cells? Like, Hey, I'm trying to get this
Speaker 1: egg pregnant, but there's some gel in my way.
Speaker 2: See I I wouldn't know anything about that. I'd suggest
Speaker 2: turning it off and back on again. And that's that's
Speaker 2: about as much as I can do.
Speaker 1: That wasn't funny, but I tried to be funny. What's
Speaker 1: your dream in life, Isaiah? I?
Speaker 2: I do stand up comedy, so it'd be fun to
Speaker 2: actually like go on a tour with someone. Thank you
Speaker 2: for that. That was that was good?
Speaker 4: So yeah, it was probably that.
Speaker 2: I a lot of writing.
Speaker 1: How long have you don't stand up?
Speaker 3: Huh?
Speaker 2: This is I'm going into my I think I think
Speaker 2: I just started. No, I just finished my fourth year,
Speaker 2: so going into like.
Speaker 1: My fifth Okay, yeah, yeah, you're in Utah. I was that.
Speaker 1: I was that wise guy. Have you ever been to
Speaker 1: Wise Guys? Yeah?
Speaker 4: You were?
Speaker 2: No, I have been there.
Speaker 3: I am.
Speaker 2: I got to host for uh like nationally touring comedian
Speaker 2: there not too long ago. But I don't get like
Speaker 2: super regular gigs. You were here in Utah. It's kind
Speaker 2: of weird. It's a weird comedy scene. It's a weird
Speaker 2: scene in general.
Speaker 1: So who was who was the King?
Speaker 2: But he did start out in Chicago. Uh, his name
Speaker 2: is Jeffrey, asked Osmas. Have you heard of him?
Speaker 1: Yeah? He I think I want to say he did
Speaker 1: stand up comedy in my basement at some point. But
Speaker 1: I don't know if.
Speaker 2: Really that's so cool? It is. No, he's really funny.
Speaker 1: I know, I don't have I met have I met
Speaker 1: him before? I know I know exactly who that is,
Speaker 1: but I don't know. Okay, I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: because I've met him or if you know so many
Speaker 1: comedian of Facebook or something. Yeah, yeah, well ship man,
Speaker 1: Hey you can open for me if I read if
Speaker 1: I ever come to wise guys.
Speaker 2: Oh please, I'll take you up on that for sure.
Speaker 1: Okay, you have to remind send me a d M.
Speaker 1: And if I remember next time, I'll.
Speaker 2: Say I'm the mill birth control guy.
Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah, so you're the mail birth control guy and
Speaker 1: you got the gig message me message if I announced it.
Speaker 1: If I if I'm announcing a tour to Utah next year,
Speaker 1: you let me know. I'll let you. I'll let you
Speaker 1: open for me.
Speaker 2: Please, Yes, I'm there.
Speaker 1: I had my I had my boy. I had my
Speaker 1: boy Ryan the Leader open for me last time I
Speaker 1: was there, and he's he's pretty sweet too.
Speaker 2: Oh very nice. Yeah, I heard the show was awesome.
Speaker 2: I ended up getting stuck at work that night, but
Speaker 2: like my friends went and had a really good time.
Speaker 2: So you had a lot of jem I'm sure you'll
Speaker 2: sell it out again.
Speaker 1: What do you do stand up comedy about?
Speaker 2: Well, I grew up here in Utah, so sort of
Speaker 2: like a large percentage of it is sort of like
Speaker 2: Utah based, like because I actually grew up in Provo,
Speaker 2: which is like the most kind of Mormon city in Utah,
Speaker 2: So it's a lot of that. But then I'm also
Speaker 2: a Polynesian, so I do joke something like Hawaiian and
Speaker 2: tongue in and then just kind of like dumb, like
Speaker 2: dark humor about like my dog dying and shit like that.
Speaker 2: So well, I try to try to touch a few bases.
Speaker 1: You know, what's your take on Polynesian sauce.
Speaker 2: Polynesian sauce.
Speaker 5: It's good.
Speaker 2: I like it. It's not honestly like karaoke sauce is
Speaker 2: probably one that you might find more like actually Polynesian restaurants.
Speaker 2: But it's kind of like Hawaiian pizza, like that was
Speaker 2: like made in Canada, but I still like Hawaiian pizza.
Speaker 1: So dude, can I can I tell you something? When
Speaker 1: you just said, when you said just now that you
Speaker 1: are Polynesian, that's the first time I've ever heard the
Speaker 1: word Polynesian used out in reference to a sauce of
Speaker 1: Polynesian sauce. Like, I didn't know that Polynesia. I thought
Speaker 1: it was I I'm being one hundred percent. I thought
Speaker 1: it just was a sauce. Where is Polynesia?
Speaker 2: Well, Polynesia refers to like the a lot of like
Speaker 2: Pacific islands. So it's like, if you're a Polynesian, you
Speaker 2: could be like Fijian Tonguan sumbling. I think they consider
Speaker 2: like Maori's in New Zealand Polynesian, so it's it's sort
Speaker 2: of like like Asians can be from a bunch of
Speaker 2: different countries. Polynesians are like Pacific Islanders.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, okay.
Speaker 2: Interestingly, I grew up saying like, oh I'm Polly to
Speaker 2: refer to being Polynesian. But now if you say you're
Speaker 2: people think that you're like polyamorous. Leads to a lot
Speaker 2: of confusion, so you gotta say the whole thing these days.
Speaker 1: What's that is that? Is that? Is that a bit
Speaker 1: that you do?
Speaker 2: It is a bit that I do. Yep, But it's
Speaker 2: like new it. It was a problem before it was
Speaker 2: a bit, but now it's a bit.
Speaker 1: I like that. It's a good bit.
Speaker 4: Do you do that?
Speaker 1: Please?
Speaker 2: Yes, I'd love to.
Speaker 1: Well. Well, hey, now with the male birth control and NOWS,
Speaker 1: now is a great time to be Polly and Polly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it really does work out both ways. I think
Speaker 2: I'm pretty monogamous, but I've heard.
Speaker 1: Good things, Isaiah. Is the anything else you want to
Speaker 1: say to the people of the computer before we.
Speaker 2: Go, I mean, look into male birth control near you
Speaker 2: you might save your save the woman in your life.
Speaker 2: A lot of grief and and we'll leave it at that.
Speaker 2: Thanks for your time.
Speaker 1: Gek, what before we dive? What is the Polynesian sauce
Speaker 1: like in Polynesia?
Speaker 2: I think it's a lot of like karaoke sauce. Uh
Speaker 2: you They actually even call like terry sauce for short.
Speaker 2: There's like burgers in Hawaii. Have you been to Hawaii
Speaker 2: or you're going to Hawaii soon?
Speaker 1: Maybe I I have a flight to Hawaii tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Okay, incredible. So if you've never tried this, definitely try
Speaker 2: Loco Moco when you're in Hawaii. It's a Hawaiian burger
Speaker 2: that's like a beef patty on rice over like gravy.
Speaker 2: There's like gravy over it and there you have like
Speaker 2: a egg on top that's like that. That that's pretty
Speaker 2: that's like a Hawaiian burger. Like a lot of people
Speaker 2: think of like Hawaiian burger as having pineapple on it,
Speaker 2: But Loco Moco.
Speaker 1: All the way, that sounds pretty sweet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's good stuff. You'll you'll like it.
Speaker 1: Thanks for calling, Isaah, have.
Speaker 2: A good one, safe travels.
Speaker 1: Crap. I had a thought that I was gonna say,
Speaker 1: but I was gonna wait until Isaiah was off the phone.
Speaker 1: What did it had? Something? It had something to do
Speaker 1: with either Polynesian sauce or first Control. I forget. I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna not say it, but let's include this in
Speaker 1: the podcast. Still, let's include this afterthought that I forgot
Speaker 1: all from Hello.
Speaker 6: Oh my god, I got on.
Speaker 2: How's it going?
Speaker 1: It's going good man? How are you?
Speaker 6: I'm good? I'm good. This is my first time calling in.
Speaker 6: I actually the first time that I called, I didn't
Speaker 6: realize that there was like a voicemail thing. So you
Speaker 6: might have just a strange message after this.
Speaker 1: What's up man? What'd you want to talk about today?
Speaker 6: So kind of have an interesting situation going on in
Speaker 6: my life right now involving my roommate, my girlfriend, and
Speaker 6: one of her friends. So my girlfriend's friend and my
Speaker 6: roommate had a thing for a while and around the
Speaker 6: time of her birthday. She lives in a different town,
Speaker 6: she came to the town where my girlfriend and I
Speaker 6: my roommate lives, and when she got here, they were
Speaker 6: talking about potentially like hooking up and stuff, and my
Speaker 6: roommate was just really like head over heels for this girl,
Speaker 6: and we ended up going out for drinks for the
Speaker 6: first night of the weekend and it was all great,
Speaker 6: and then eventually what happened was is that after we
Speaker 6: got back to my house and I dropped my girlfriend
Speaker 6: and her friend off back my girlfriend's house, he was
Speaker 6: texting me saying like, oh, she like really wants me
Speaker 6: to like come over, Like what should I do? And
Speaker 6: I was like, uh, you know how mad my girlfriend
Speaker 6: would be if you went over to her house at
Speaker 6: three am and had effect with her friend on her couch. Yeah,
Speaker 6: now you're just just wait till tomorrow, dude. What he
Speaker 6: didn't know was that my girlfriend and I were after
Speaker 6: he went to bed, we're going to uh puck up
Speaker 6: with her friend afterwards. And after it was all said
Speaker 6: and done, her friend was like, yeah, I don't really
Speaker 6: want to like pursue a relationship with this guy. And
Speaker 6: long story short, she ended up cutting it off from
Speaker 6: him and he was heartbroken. And now whenever she like
Speaker 6: comes around like.
Speaker 1: This, okay girl friend, actually no, no, you know you
Speaker 1: go ahead, go ahead finished, I'll save my questions.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah, So whenever she like comes around to visit
Speaker 6: my girlfriend or she ever gets brought up in the conversation,
Speaker 6: he just like tries to shut it down immediately, and
Speaker 6: he gets all sad and shit. And I really feel
Speaker 6: like I kind of ruined his chances with this girl.
Speaker 6: And I know that it's probably wasn't much.
Speaker 1: But okay, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna cut I'm
Speaker 1: gonna cut in with my questions now. First of all,
Speaker 1: I want to congratulate you on having so many friends
Speaker 1: that I've lost track of all the different friends that
Speaker 1: you have in this story. But okay, sorry, so no,
Speaker 1: it's okay, it's okay. It's a good it's a good thing,
Speaker 1: I promise if I understand this correctly. Your friend had
Speaker 1: a big old crush on your girlfriend's friend, and they
Speaker 1: did They hadn't done any they there was just a crush.
Speaker 1: There was no real thing between them, correct.
Speaker 6: There There was talk that they were going to do stuff, but.
Speaker 1: There was no they didn't. Okay, but okay, your friend
Speaker 1: had a crush on your girlfriend's friend and one night
Speaker 1: text your girlfriend's friend to see if if he could
Speaker 1: come over. Uh, that doesn't work out, And on that
Speaker 1: very same night, you and your girlfriend go to her
Speaker 1: house to have a threesome with her.
Speaker 2: I guess that it is correct.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's wild. That is a that that is very wild.
Speaker 1: Did you tell do you ever talk to your friend?
Speaker 1: Your friend has no idea that you had a threesome
Speaker 1: with your girlfriend and has no idea. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Did you feel bad at all? Did you feel like
Speaker 1: were you morally conflicted?
Speaker 6: Well, in the moment, I was like this is uh.
Speaker 6: I mean in the moment I.
Speaker 1: Was in the moment, you were like, this is fucking awesome.
Speaker 6: Yeah. But after after it was all said and done,
Speaker 6: you like didn't come out of his room for like
Speaker 6: two weeks mm hmm, And I just, uh, yeah, I
Speaker 6: felt real bad. And there was like a moment of
Speaker 6: time where I was going to tell him, But it's
Speaker 6: been continue to happen.
Speaker 1: This man would be shy. This man would be it's
Speaker 1: been continuing to have like you've done this with you
Speaker 1: guys have had this three some multiple times. Yes, this
Speaker 1: man would be shattered if he knew what was going on.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 6: And to top all this off, he's my boss at work.
Speaker 7: Like I'm I'm not joking, Like you're not joking, I'd
Speaker 7: get fired. No, I am not joking with you, and
Speaker 7: I'm afraid that if he does find out, I'll get
Speaker 7: like fired and it would just make the whole living
Speaker 7: situation really awkward.
Speaker 1: Come on, all right, mm hmmm? Where what do you
Speaker 1: do for work?
Speaker 6: I work at a local sandwich shop.
Speaker 1: He's your boss at the sandwich shop. What is Is
Speaker 1: it a subway or is it like a local sandwich shop?
Speaker 6: It is a Herberts and Gerberts.
Speaker 1: What is that?
Speaker 6: It's like a sandwich shop. I'm in I'm in Wisconsin
Speaker 6: right now, and that's like the sandwich.
Speaker 1: Suffering, which sounds Wisconsin. Were you guys friends before you
Speaker 1: started working together? Have you been friends for a long time?
Speaker 6: Yeah, we've been friends for like four or five years
Speaker 6: or so.
Speaker 1: Okay, now in those four or five years, your understanding
Speaker 1: of his friend? How have his relationships been over the
Speaker 1: course of five years? Is this like kind of a
Speaker 1: is is just like a recurring thing in his life
Speaker 1: that he's like like, I guess romantic rejection.
Speaker 6: Yeah, No, he just hasn't had the greatest luck. He
Speaker 6: he kind of just gets really like invested into people.
Speaker 6: And I mean, like it was great, like if you're
Speaker 6: gonna love love hard, But he ends up getting hurt.
Speaker 6: But I've just never seen him like that before.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, m hmm. Did he do you think was
Speaker 1: and now your friend's feelings for this, your girlfriend's friend
Speaker 1: were they? Were they purely lustful or was there you know,
Speaker 1: a little a little more to that.
Speaker 6: I mean, we live like four hours away from her,
Speaker 6: so I think in the back of his head he
Speaker 6: was like, yeah, I know this would never work, but
Speaker 6: I think he really really wanted it to, which would
Speaker 6: explain the reaction after she texted him when she went
Speaker 6: back home and was like, yeah, I'm not looking for anything.
Speaker 1: Man. So you so you and your girlfriend drove the
Speaker 1: four hours.
Speaker 6: Uh, We've it's kind of just been like, well, my
Speaker 6: girlfriend has later moved since the moment, she's kind of
Speaker 6: like in between me and her friend now, so we
Speaker 6: kind of just end up meeting at her place. Now,
Speaker 6: this hasn't happened in like months, because I just kind
Speaker 6: of felt guilty about it, not even kind of I
Speaker 6: do feel guilty about it.
Speaker 1: Oh man, dude, I don't know, I really, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know, because you know what, I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: honest with you. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna sit here,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure there's plenty of other people listen to this.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here and tell you I wouldn't
Speaker 1: have done the same thing.
Speaker 6: Oh that's awesome, I mean it makes you feel a
Speaker 6: little better, but.
Speaker 1: Like, well, I don't think it because I don't want
Speaker 1: to lie to you. I don't want to lie to
Speaker 1: you and tell you I wouldn't have done the same
Speaker 1: thang because it's not like it'd be what it'd be,
Speaker 1: because it'd be one thing if this was like your friends,
Speaker 1: uh like X or like uh, you know obviously would
Speaker 1: be a thing if it was your friend's girlfriend. But like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, which I mean, tell me more
Speaker 1: about your relationship with this guy with your friends.
Speaker 6: So me and him moved in together into a house,
Speaker 6: uh like two years ago, and sorry, we've I mean
Speaker 6: we've been good friends. But ever since this moment, I
Speaker 6: feel like it's just been kind of difficult to like
Speaker 6: talk to him because he's also just been really stressed
Speaker 6: with like work lately and uh coming home and the
Speaker 6: only thing that you can really talk about is work.
Speaker 6: Is just like I'd really rather not talk to you then,
Speaker 6: But I feel like they're kind of cold, you are?
Speaker 6: I am twenty four?
Speaker 1: How old is hey?
Speaker 6: He is twenty five?
Speaker 1: All right? What's his because it sounds like it sounds
Speaker 1: like homie, Like there's he's got a kind of a
Speaker 1: general malaise going on or depression or or or something.
Speaker 1: Something's something this is, this is it's not just this thing.
Speaker 1: He likes the girl and the girl doesn't like him back,
Speaker 1: like there's a there's something. Is that accurate?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean there always kind of seems to be
Speaker 6: something with him. So I tried to, like, I don't know,
Speaker 6: I've tried to help in the past and try to
Speaker 6: get him to like open up, but uh again, it's
Speaker 6: just a lot about work. And I mean he's tried
Speaker 6: dating since then, but it just has not gone well.
Speaker 5: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think if you want to help your friend,
Speaker 1: because like, here's the thing. If that girl didn't like
Speaker 1: your friend, there was nothing, there was nothing you could
Speaker 1: have done to help. But like, I don't know, could
Speaker 1: you and your friend like why do you? Why do
Speaker 1: you look? You sound like you're probably a handsome guy.
Speaker 1: You know, thank you, You're you got stuff going on
Speaker 1: and you and you know your friend intimately, what do
Speaker 1: you think it is about him that that made that
Speaker 1: girl not like him? Or what do you what do
Speaker 1: you think it is that has has made him, you know,
Speaker 1: romantically unsuccessful or like what what? Like in your opinion,
Speaker 1: what do you think is is holding him back?
Speaker 6: I mean he's I really don't mean to like kind
Speaker 6: of bash this guy now, but he's a little weird
Speaker 6: and he's like really stinky and doesn't have the greatest hygiene.
Speaker 6: Like there was one night where me and him went
Speaker 6: out to get drinks and I had to drive him
Speaker 6: home and I made like a little puke bucket for him,
Speaker 6: and that puke bucket proceeded to sit in his room
Speaker 6: for the next two months without being emptied. It got
Speaker 6: to know what, where like you couldn't even.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit here and tell you I
Speaker 1: wouldn't do the same as well with.
Speaker 6: That, Yeah, I mean it literally got with.
Speaker 1: You with your friend as well.
Speaker 6: It literally got to the point where like I couldn't.
Speaker 6: So we live on opposite floors. I live on the
Speaker 6: main floor. He lives upstairs, and I genuinely couldn't like
Speaker 6: walk past the stairs because of how bad that entire
Speaker 6: floor smelled purely because of his room.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Man, this is tough. This is tough
Speaker 1: because I don't know how you could help your friends. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know how you could help him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, is it a bad eye, is it a
Speaker 1: bad idea to hmm to tell him?
Speaker 4: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 6: That's personally, I don't think it would end well if
Speaker 6: I didn't tell him.
Speaker 1: No, I'm not even I'm not even talking about telling him,
Speaker 1: but no, I I I I H dude, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I sort of think ignorance is blissed with that. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to think if I were in the friends if
Speaker 1: I were in the friends position, and I don't think
Speaker 1: I would want to know. I think there are some
Speaker 1: there are some cases where you ignorances is just bliss
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of how you could, I don't know,
Speaker 1: just in general help your friend. It's hard because you
Speaker 1: don't want to just be like giving him unsolicited advice.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I mean a lot of the ways that
Speaker 6: it does help is just kind of like just being
Speaker 6: a friend to him and overall just kind of just
Speaker 6: kind of being there to listen to him, kind of
Speaker 6: giving him a shoulder to cry on. I mean that
Speaker 6: helps for the moment, but I mean usually by the
Speaker 6: next day he's kind of back in that same spot.
Speaker 1: Are you going to continue to hook up with this
Speaker 1: girl with your girlfriend?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 6: Her and I have talked about it, and I mean
Speaker 6: she knows how I feel about it, and she's kind
Speaker 6: of has her uncertainties too. So I think we're both
Speaker 6: kind of in the same boat of if it if
Speaker 6: the stars align and us three are together again and
Speaker 6: it happens great. If not, that's not going to be
Speaker 6: something that we're like actively pushing for being like, oh,
Speaker 6: when is this gonna happen again?
Speaker 1: Like no, mm hmm, dude, what if you guys had
Speaker 1: a threesome in the sandwich shot?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Man?
Speaker 6: I uh, you know, there there have been things that
Speaker 6: have happened in like the store that.
Speaker 1: Are but like like what.
Speaker 6: There's just been like some crazy things that have happened
Speaker 6: in the store. We Uh so, we had a coworker
Speaker 6: who had a baby not too long ago, and we
Speaker 6: found out that the baby was conceived like in the
Speaker 6: back room area, Like the mother and the father had
Speaker 6: sex in the back of the store. They both work
Speaker 6: at the store, so it wasn't like I mean, it's
Speaker 6: still weird, but like it'd be weird of just like
Speaker 6: two random people. They came to the back of the store.
Speaker 2: I don't know how to explain.
Speaker 1: I feel as though being conceived in Wisconsin sandwich shot
Speaker 1: probably dooms a baby.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the Uh what's your name again?
Speaker 4: Sir?
Speaker 1: Well? Good luck, g l HF my friends. Uh is
Speaker 1: there anything else you want to say to the people
Speaker 1: of the computer before we go?
Speaker 6: This is Uh feels good to get this off my chest.
Speaker 6: And yeah, at the end of the day, I really
Speaker 6: just wish the best for my friends. But I guess
Speaker 6: all I gotta say.
Speaker 1: Never let him listen to this podcast.
Speaker 6: Oh absolutely not. He knows nothing about that.
Speaker 1: Okay, you have a good one.
Speaker 6: Yeah you too, Thank you.
Speaker 1: Wait. What's the name of the sandwich shop again? Herberts
Speaker 1: and Gerberts Herberts. Is that a chain?
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, it's a chain.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, because I thought because then people would be like,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to do you think, Anon, what do you get?
Speaker 1: You can give me a real name, did you?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, have a good one.
Speaker 6: Yeah you two see man.
Speaker 1: Because I feel like somebody would could just uh pinpoint
Speaker 1: how many Herberts and Gerberts are there in Wisconsin. Let's
Speaker 1: see here, hold on Herberts. Oh okay, this is like
Speaker 1: a thought. I honestly thought he was making it up.
Speaker 1: Herbert's and Gerbert's. All right, there's I don't know why
Speaker 1: I'm giving instructions on how to dox this guy, because
Speaker 1: I don't want that to happen. We'll just we'll bleep
Speaker 1: his name out. Herberts and Gerbert's is a restaurant franchise
Speaker 1: specializing in sub marine sandwich Is the company? Oh? Wait no,
Speaker 1: the company has more than fifty locations throughout Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, Wisconsin.
Speaker 1: They have only one in North Carolina. So if the
Speaker 1: caller was from North Carolina, he'd be easy to find.
Speaker 1: Don't dox the people on this show? All right, what
Speaker 1: I'll make I'm going on. Let me go to their website.
Speaker 1: Let's go what's going on on Herberts and Gerberts dot com. Oh,
Speaker 1: they got a turkey bacon ranch. They got all. They
Speaker 1: got a little cartoon drawing of an alien eating a sandwich.
Speaker 6: I like that.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. Do they have any near me? Let
Speaker 1: me type in my zip code. Okay, I forgot Wait
Speaker 1: hold on, damn, they don't have any Orbits and Gerberts
Speaker 1: near me. Wait fuck, Now, people can docks me, dude,
Speaker 1: ship people people who Now, people can find all the
Speaker 1: places in America that don't have Herberts and Gerberts, and
Speaker 1: they can do the reverse of what they would do
Speaker 1: to a caller to me and use the absence of
Speaker 1: Herberts and Gerberts to determine where I live. The internet
Speaker 1: is a dangerous place.
Speaker 6: Hello, hey there, how are you?
Speaker 1: I'm okay, how are you man?
Speaker 5: Doing all right? I'm actually in the middle of a well,
Speaker 5: actually just finishing up a big move. I just moved
Speaker 5: back to my hometown from a bigger city.
Speaker 1: Uh is that a Is that an upgrade?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 1: Where where is that in your life plan? Is that
Speaker 1: what you desired?
Speaker 5: You know what? I didn't think it was, but it is.
Speaker 5: I'm moving back to my hometown and just kind of
Speaker 5: growing up. I always thought I wanted to leave and
Speaker 5: do something else and be in a bigger city, but
Speaker 5: ever since I was there, I just wanted to come
Speaker 5: back home and be closer to family.
Speaker 1: That's kind of the hero's journey is you go out
Speaker 1: into a big city and you you're like, all right,
Speaker 1: this place is cool. It has restaurants and bars, and
Speaker 1: you realize that everywhere was really the same and that
Speaker 1: the best place to be is where your friends and
Speaker 1: family are as long as there are like also also
Speaker 1: bars and restaurants there where you can get margerita, pizza
Speaker 1: and shit. But where's your hometown.
Speaker 5: I actually I live about an hour north of Louisville, Kentucky.
Speaker 1: I was in Louisville, Kentucky. That's a nice spot. I
Speaker 1: like Louisville.
Speaker 5: It's a buffal one.
Speaker 1: What do you are you living back with your parents
Speaker 1: or did you get a place.
Speaker 5: I got a place. So far, it's been a lot
Speaker 5: nicer than my older place. You know, the bigger cities
Speaker 5: have a lot higher rent, and I think that was
Speaker 5: a main decision making doctor. I actually lost a job
Speaker 5: that I moved to the bigger city for, and that's
Speaker 5: kind of the catalyst for the move back home.
Speaker 1: What was the job that you had in the big city.
Speaker 5: I worked for a major abortion provider and it was
Speaker 5: really interesting and I had a really intense time there.
Speaker 5: And I worked there for probably about three years and
Speaker 5: at the end, I got a promotion and that's why
Speaker 5: I had to move, And it turned out I did
Speaker 5: not like the added responsibility, so it didn't turn out very.
Speaker 4: Well for me.
Speaker 1: Interesting, So what was it about the promotion or the
Speaker 1: added responsibility that made you want to leave?
Speaker 5: I think it was kind of your peers turning into like,
Speaker 5: you have this weird power dynamic with them, and you're
Speaker 5: kind of, on one hand, expected to like to lay
Speaker 5: down the law without a better way to put that,
Speaker 5: and you don't want to be like a stern you know,
Speaker 5: don't be late kind of guy, and you have to
Speaker 5: be and I don't like it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're you're you go from like actually doing something
Speaker 1: to managing other people doing stuff.
Speaker 5: That's that's put perfectly absolutely, it's just kind of like
Speaker 5: watching it all unfold and being responsible for how it
Speaker 5: ends up.
Speaker 1: You said here on the call screening notes that that
Speaker 1: it was a toxic job. Why did you feel like
Speaker 1: it was it was toxic?
Speaker 5: You know, I'm sure a lot of people who work
Speaker 5: in like nonprofit organizations can relate to this, But I
Speaker 5: think a lot of times places like that kind of
Speaker 5: take advantage or pray upon your your empathy or your
Speaker 5: your support or compassion towards whatever mission you're working towards,
Speaker 5: and so they kind of just exploit that, you know,
Speaker 5: as much as possible, like, hey, if you if you
Speaker 5: miss this shift, you know, like X, Y and Z
Speaker 5: will happen to this many people.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 5: It's a kind of one of those things.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was. It was that tough working
Speaker 1: at the abortion clinic. Was it seems like there's a
Speaker 1: lot of emotions going on around there.
Speaker 5: Definitely, And I mean it's it's crazy. You just see
Speaker 5: like a crazy, wild variety of emotions about it. So
Speaker 5: it's really like common to see just like a spectrum
Speaker 5: of different feelings around it. It's just really interesting to
Speaker 5: do it in such a hostile state. I actually got
Speaker 5: to do some training in the Washington State and it
Speaker 5: was wild just how different things are laid out there
Speaker 5: than in a state like Kentucky or Indiana.
Speaker 1: What's of the big city? Where was the big city.
Speaker 5: At I'm Bloomington? Where I you is?
Speaker 1: I don't know what either of those I don't know
Speaker 1: what either of those things are.
Speaker 5: Sorry, it's like a college town.
Speaker 4: I you.
Speaker 1: Oh, Indiana University? Oh okay, you go to IU. And
Speaker 1: next door you can get an I U D.
Speaker 6: Exactly where is UH?
Speaker 1: Okay? So what are the abortion laws like in UH?
Speaker 1: In Indiana?
Speaker 5: I'm actually kind of embarrassed to say that I'm out
Speaker 5: of touch with what's going on most recently, but I
Speaker 5: remember there was a really big push for everything to
Speaker 5: be completely you know, basically like Texas style band laws here,
Speaker 5: and that was it's just so stressful because it goes
Speaker 5: back and forth with the courts, and you know, staff
Speaker 5: and patients have to kind of bend over backwards for
Speaker 5: whatever happens, you know, at the very last minute.
Speaker 1: And was it is it like because there are I say,
Speaker 1: assume like like like planned there are planned parenthoods in
Speaker 1: states where abortion is illegal rights.
Speaker 5: I believe so, yes, And I think I think the
Speaker 5: focus right now is just to like, you know, provide
Speaker 5: as much education as the law allows and just encourage
Speaker 5: you know, safety.
Speaker 1: So what are you gonna do now now that you
Speaker 1: don't work there?
Speaker 5: I think I'm gonna be more in touch with my
Speaker 5: own feelings instead of you know, just kind of being
Speaker 5: like this empathy vacuum every day. I think it's been
Speaker 5: a really eye opening experience for me to just kind
Speaker 5: of spend time alone and switch to like a work
Speaker 5: from home job. It's it's been awesome to just kind
Speaker 5: of like be with myself and and see myself outside
Speaker 5: of a work environment.
Speaker 1: I know, it feels it feels nice to to work
Speaker 1: on yourself, right because you're you're having to comfort people
Speaker 1: all the time.
Speaker 5: Oh definitely. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's a lot and just kind of.
Speaker 5: You got to like kind of read the moment, read
Speaker 5: every single little moment, and interpret that on how to
Speaker 5: act next. It's really awesome, and I think that people
Speaker 5: who work in those situations are incredible people. I really
Speaker 5: loved it.
Speaker 1: It's I mean, you know, that's the thing is say
Speaker 1: what you will about people who are assholes. But I
Speaker 1: got it. It sounds like a such a nice life
Speaker 1: a little bit, doesn't it, not caring about anything or
Speaker 1: anyone at all?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I mean it's it's been really weird. It's
Speaker 5: been really weird. And it kind of feels like, you know,
Speaker 5: like when you're in high school and you finally get
Speaker 5: the summer off or whatever, and you're just.
Speaker 6: Like, dang, what do I do?
Speaker 5: Because you're just so used to like constant routine day
Speaker 5: after day after day. And when you finally have like
Speaker 5: the time to do anything else, You're like, dang, I'm
Speaker 5: so boring, Like do you have personality anymore? I feel
Speaker 5: like almost brainwashed by work.
Speaker 1: What are you going to do now that you have
Speaker 1: all this time?
Speaker 5: Well, I think I've been spending more time with my family,
Speaker 5: but honestly, one thing I'm really excited about is to
Speaker 5: get back into like hiking and go into the state parks.
Speaker 5: I used to be so into that and it's just
Speaker 5: like disappeared for me entirely since since I started, you know,
Speaker 5: being more career oriented.
Speaker 2: I guess, mm hmmm hm.
Speaker 1: Do you have Do you have a lot of friends
Speaker 1: in this hometown?
Speaker 5: No, No, I've never I never had a large friend group.
Speaker 5: But I do have really great close friends that are
Speaker 5: just a few, but really wonderful friends. And I just
Speaker 5: feel like a brand new chapter life. And I feel
Speaker 5: tooper excited and really happy to be talking to you
Speaker 5: tonight and everything.
Speaker 1: I gotta say you sound. I can hear in your
Speaker 1: voice that you've been dealing with incredibly emotional situations for
Speaker 1: three years. Like I want to I want to throw
Speaker 1: an army black around you right now. You're you seem
Speaker 1: you see them incomplete shock just from talking to you.
Speaker 1: So I'm glad to hear that you're moving on to
Speaker 1: hiking and stuff instead of constantly having to be there
Speaker 1: while people go through uh uh, you know, some of
Speaker 1: the most awful times in their life. That sounds like
Speaker 1: a lot to deal with every single day, you know.
Speaker 1: I was talking to I was talking to somebody about
Speaker 1: this and maybe you would have some interesting insight on it.
Speaker 1: I've read on on the internet and talk to some
Speaker 1: people and whatever. I've heard stories of people who like
Speaker 1: they call the suicide hotline and the person on the
Speaker 1: other end is like kind of cold or or uncaring,
Speaker 1: you know. Or they're in some kind of a situation
Speaker 1: medically or some some dire thing where where like they're
Speaker 1: at the horrible time in their life, but the person
Speaker 1: working it's it they're sort of apathetic to them. And
Speaker 1: I kind of get it a bit because it's like
Speaker 1: for them, it's like every single day, you know, when
Speaker 1: you and a human being, as you know, can only
Speaker 1: handle so much empathy, you know. So it's like it's
Speaker 1: not surprising to me that these people, even though they're
Speaker 1: put in situations where they where their whole job is
Speaker 1: to deal with folks who are heavily distressed. It kind
Speaker 1: of makes sense to me that that occasionally they would
Speaker 1: grow cold or uncaring or anything, not because they're rotten people,
Speaker 1: but just because it's you know, I mean, like you
Speaker 1: were saying, it takes an incredible person to be able
Speaker 1: to do something like that, you know.
Speaker 5: Definitely, definitely, and shout out to those who are still
Speaker 5: doing it. I think my insight to that is just
Speaker 5: from working in an environment like that. Every single person
Speaker 5: that I worked with was so compassionate and empathetic towards
Speaker 5: the people who needed it, and even you know, between
Speaker 5: co workers, we were really empathetic and compassionate towards each other.
Speaker 5: But speaking only for myself and none of my other
Speaker 5: coworkers at the time, some of the stress, like you, like,
Speaker 5: you just don't even know where to put it, and
Speaker 5: it is not an option to give it to the
Speaker 5: people you're serving, you know what I mean, So you
Speaker 5: kind of and in my case, something I'm not proud
Speaker 5: of is definitely taking it out on the people you
Speaker 5: work with every single day, or being like inappropriately, like
Speaker 5: snippy or just short with them. And I think that's
Speaker 5: how I handled it. Which was not great.
Speaker 1: I bet it would be a good idea to like
Speaker 1: date an exterminator, you know, somebody who's just they get
Speaker 1: all their aggression out on the job, so that way,
Speaker 1: you know it's all love.
Speaker 5: When they get home, you're just like taking out entire
Speaker 5: you know, species from an area. Just you probably feel
Speaker 5: really powerful.
Speaker 1: Right right, They got to be happy people. What's your
Speaker 1: name again, Karen? Karen, Karen, thanks for talking to me.
Speaker 1: I hope there's a good things ahead on the horizon.
Speaker 1: Is there any anything else you want to say to
Speaker 1: the people of the computer before we go, or to
Speaker 1: me or to Mark who's listening to this podcast right now.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would just say, be nice to each other
Speaker 5: as often as possible, and thank you so much for
Speaker 5: taking my call. And I hope you have a wonderful
Speaker 5: rest of for your night.
Speaker 1: Have a good night. Karen Karen. That's uh. You don't
Speaker 1: meet a lot. You don't meet a lot of nice Karen's.
Speaker 1: I don't have any I don't have a joke. I
Speaker 1: don't have a Karen joke, and I don't want to
Speaker 1: have a Karen joke. Let's move on, let's talk, just
Speaker 1: talk to another person. Hey, what's up?
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I'm actually all who is this?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 4: This is Tyler Tyler.
Speaker 1: You know what's so cool? It's cool to me that
Speaker 1: I've been doing this podcast for three years and there's
Speaker 1: still new people calling in. I was thinking about that
Speaker 1: at the end of the day. I was like, what
Speaker 1: happens when I literally just have talked to everyone who
Speaker 1: listens to this already?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've watched from about a year now. Actually I
Speaker 4: went to You're showing New York.
Speaker 1: Oh shit, well at the Bellhouse, Yes, yeah, where those
Speaker 1: two twins arm wrestled.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was sweet. That was awesome. Are you coming
Speaker 1: back again? I won't be offended if you're.
Speaker 4: Not about hustled out, but I'm gonna go to the
Speaker 4: one the next day.
Speaker 1: Okay, sick sick six sick Tyler Tyler. You sent me
Speaker 1: a text and you said you said, I farted in
Speaker 1: a coworker's face because she annoys me. But after farting
Speaker 1: in her face, I've mellowed out and I don't hate
Speaker 1: her anymore.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I think because I'm not gonna say with
Speaker 4: star work, I by work at a retail store and
Speaker 4: there's this girl I will not I don't know what
Speaker 4: type of saying they much, you ever, let's just say
Speaker 4: h so h. She is not the best employee, like
Speaker 4: everyone kind of like you know comments and the fact
Speaker 4: that she's ad the scattered brain. She'd messes stuff up.
Speaker 4: And when I first started working at that store, I
Speaker 4: had to fix certain things that she would mess up.
Speaker 4: And one day, you know, we were in the break room.
Speaker 4: She was sitting in a chair. I was washing my
Speaker 4: hands and I noticed my butt was at the perfect
Speaker 4: angle at her face where I was like, if I
Speaker 4: start and leaves, she's not going to know there's several
Speaker 4: other people in here. And I did that and I left.
Speaker 4: And it's been I think about a year or two
Speaker 4: ever since I fart in her face, And honestly, I
Speaker 4: don't know. I am pretty I don't mind her anymore
Speaker 4: or like, you know, she still has an approved of
Speaker 4: the worker and I'm like, hey, how are you? You know,
Speaker 4: like sometimes we chat and it has gotten significantly better
Speaker 4: working with her.
Speaker 1: You know, there's something to that. There's something too that
Speaker 1: I was on TikTok last night and I saw a
Speaker 1: really beautiful video that I and I think I think
Speaker 1: this is related to what to your thing. It was.
Speaker 1: It was one of these TikTok prankster kids, who I
Speaker 1: really don't like a lot of those guys, but it
Speaker 1: was one of these TikTok prankster people. And he was
Speaker 1: like fucking with this old man. And the old man
Speaker 1: was like, if you do that again, I'm gonna if
Speaker 1: you if you call me that again, I'm gonna fuck
Speaker 1: you up. And so the kid put the prank kid
Speaker 1: he put up like a fighting stance, and the old
Speaker 1: man smacked him in the face, and then the little
Speaker 1: and then the kid punched the old man and then
Speaker 1: like they kind of like circle, but then they kind
Speaker 1: of like circle each other for a little bit and
Speaker 1: then I swear to God, the old guy he just
Speaker 1: he just looks at the prank kid and he goes, kid,
Speaker 1: what are we doing? And the kid and the kid
Speaker 1: is like, ah, you know what, you're right, and they
Speaker 1: both they like put their hands down, and the old
Speaker 1: man is like, you actually got me pretty good, and
Speaker 1: the kid's like, you got me pretty good too, you
Speaker 1: can fight, and then they hugged and and and that
Speaker 1: was it. And I was like, and by the way,
Speaker 1: I mean, I've watched a lot of fight videos on
Speaker 1: the internet, and that's the only one I think I've
Speaker 1: seen that ended like that, but I did it may
Speaker 1: be kind and I'm not a big proponent of you know,
Speaker 1: I don't think you should hit people and stuff, but
Speaker 1: it just was kind of beautiful to see one time
Speaker 1: where you know, hitting people worked. And maybe there's something
Speaker 1: to that where you farted in your coworker's face and
Speaker 1: that just got it out. I think it's missing the
Speaker 1: element of you got to let your coworker fart in
Speaker 1: your if you let your coworker fart in your face. See,
Speaker 1: that's the thing this was. This is kind of what
Speaker 1: makes it different from that fight is that it's only
Speaker 1: one sided so far. If you let your coworker fart
Speaker 1: in your face and you or and then you just
Speaker 1: spend a little bit of time farting in each other's faces,
Speaker 1: that might solve everything. Because I don't know how she's feeling.
Speaker 1: Maybe she's feeling as pent up shit. Again, she probably
Speaker 1: doesn't like you, but if she farted in your face,
Speaker 1: she would see that you're actually, you know, pretty cool.
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe you're right, but I'm also too tall for
Speaker 4: her to fart in my face too. I think even
Speaker 4: sitting down too tall to far in my face, not.
Speaker 1: In the the t bag position.
Speaker 4: Yeah, probably she could probably do it if I was
Speaker 4: in that position.
Speaker 1: Again, why did this? Why does this person annoy you?
Speaker 4: Because like in retail, you know your already in pays
Speaker 4: a little, customers are already like snapping at you for
Speaker 4: the smallest things, and then like repeatedly for like you know,
Speaker 4: like maybe like three or four days a week. You know,
Speaker 4: you do something that person, they purposely mess it up.
Speaker 4: And like in the store, we all like stalk our
Speaker 4: own little sections and maybe like a whole thing will
Speaker 4: be messed up and they'll go to me and being like, well,
Speaker 4: I do like this, and I'm just like I saw
Speaker 4: agh just restock it, Like what why are you talking
Speaker 4: to me about this? So yeah, something like that.
Speaker 1: I look a job environment like that would make me
Speaker 1: want to fart in people's faces too. I get it.
Speaker 1: You had that fart. There was more in that fart
Speaker 1: than just uh fart chemicals. There was anger, resentment, frustration,
Speaker 1: and you farted it all out of your body onto
Speaker 1: this woman's face. And that's why exactly love.
Speaker 4: Now, maybe maybe maybe the world's problems would be solved
Speaker 4: a bit more. If people were just like, I'm not
Speaker 4: going to punch this guy, I'm not going to kick
Speaker 4: this kid. I'm just going to do one simple fart.
Speaker 4: I'm just going to walk away from the situation.
Speaker 1: I agree with that. What's your name again?
Speaker 4: It's Tyler, Tyler.
Speaker 1: Well, Tyler. If you're if you need it a referee
Speaker 1: of a fart battle between you and this person, and
Speaker 1: you can you can hold it within a ten minute
Speaker 1: walk of my house, let me know and I'll do it.
Speaker 4: Okay, cool, I will to have a large kind of
Speaker 4: beans before that.
Speaker 2: I will.
Speaker 4: I'll be prepared.
Speaker 1: Thank you for calling, Tyler.
Speaker 4: Thanks lover podcast Bye.
Speaker 3: Goes on the line. Thank you phone calls every night
Speaker 3: everythig kid goes through in his eye. Who's teaching him
