1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: Today is a monumental day for justice. Ye is broken,

2
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: Jeffrey in the morning.

3
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:09,560
Speaker 2: Because justice needs one, you know.

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

5
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: In a landmark court case where the judge toiled for

6
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: hours over their final decision, trying to find the line

7
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: between what's right and what's wrong, a major ruling finally

8
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: came down. That's going to set the precedent for all

9
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: other cases. And now apparently you one hundred percent can

10
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: call your boss.

11
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 3: A total dickhead. It's allowed now, guys.

12
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,919
Speaker 2: First Amendment, and you don't get fired for it.

13
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 1: Well, this happened over in England actually, where a female

14
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: office manager named Carrie Herbert got called into her boss's office.

15
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 4: You know, we're not still ruled by England, right, we

16
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 4: have our own laws here.

17
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: I think we're heading back towards it, really, But Carrie's

18
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: boss needed to talk to her about some concerns with

19
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: her recent job performance, and Carrie started crying, Oh.

20
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 2: I feel you, Carrie, it's a good move.

21
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: At some point during the meetings, she shouted at him quote,

22
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: if it was anyone else in my position, they would

23
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: have left years ago due to the goings on in

24
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: the office. But it's only because of YouTube heads that

25
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: I stayed here. Yeah, two of them, referring to the

26
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 1: boss and his wife, who also worked at the company.

27
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: Like that, she uses that word for everyone.

28
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know.

29
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 2: It's not just.

30
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 1: So. Immediately after that outburst, Katie's boss fired her, and

31
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: she turned right around and sued him for unfair.

32
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 3: Dismissal, and the judge just ruled that.

33
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: While such verbal insults are quote inappropriate and regrettable for

34
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: a workplace, they do not necessarily amount to gross misconduct.

35
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 3: So they ordered.

36
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: Carrie's boss to pay her forty thousand dollars for wrongful termination.

37
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 4: You could just.

38
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: Puss at your boss, now.

39
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 3: That's what I'm taking from the story.

40
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: Maybe in England that word is as harsh as it

41
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: is here.

42
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 5: You try it.

43
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,760

00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: next meeting with management.

46
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 3: I would just caution anybody don't.

47
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: Say it during the shot collar question of the day,

48
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: not to our digital producer. I know, Brook, You're attempted

49
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: to do it pretty much every time, but Jake doesn't

50
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: deserve that.

51
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,080

00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, that's just like normal prep meals.

57
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 5: Now, it was a thing where you could throw like

58
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 5: a prepackaged aluminum tray of frozen food into the microwave.

59
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 2: I wouldn't put aluminum in the microwave, it, I think

60
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 2: in the oven.

61
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, you pop it in the microwave, you bring it

62
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 5: over to the TV set, and the entire family could

63
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 5: watch a picture or show together while enjoying a piping

64
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 5: hot fourteen hundred calorie saltball. Guys, the very first TV

65

Speaker 5: dinner came out back in nineteen fifty three, and they're

66
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 5: still around today. In fact, now they even offer vegetarian

67
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 5: and gluten free options and some of it actually tastes

68
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 5: somewhat decent.

69
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, but hey, mom, how's your true ducking tasting over there?

70

100
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,320

Speaker 5: one of Swanson's attempts at international meals, and the dessert

115
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 5: was an apricot compote that became infamous for a strange appearance.

116
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 5: Many people thought it looked like a petrified egg. Yeah,

117
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,760

121
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 5: tiny plastic pouch to pour over everything on the tray?

122
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 5: Was that? Yeah? A lot of literation. Was that a

123
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,279

124
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 3: I don't I'm missing something. It's supposed to sound weird, right,

125
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 3: it sounds so normal.

126
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: Wants to know where he can order this exists because

127
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: he wants it delivered to the stations.

128
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 3: And pudding like, I don't get the weirdness.

Speaker 5: I love that your guard is up.

130
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,960

131
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 5: Thank you, Jose. I am very trickery.

132
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 3: It makes sense in my head.

133
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,679
Speaker 5: So I am going to cautiously say this is real.

134
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 5: You're gonna say real meal. Yeah, Jose says real meal

00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 5: kids was created called the Green Machine Cool. It featured

141

Speaker 3: So?

145
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 4: Well?

146
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: Honestly, I wasn't even allowed inside of a grocery store

147
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: until I was seventeen years old.

148
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 3: Why because our housekeeper, Lucy was.

149
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: The one in charge of making and buying and planning

150
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: all of our meals. We didn't see it, and we

151
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,119
Speaker 1: did not have any TV dinners in our house.

152
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 3: In fact, I reached it, I wasn't even sure.

153
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: It was kind of like the loch Ness Monster, where

154
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure that they were real for many many years.

155
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 2: This is why you are the way you are.

156
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,200
