1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: Am I the a hole for dumping my wife after

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: she asked me if I wanted to sleep with other people?

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 1: And this comes from a strange case three five to

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: five eight. They say, ooh, long story, but I will

5
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: try to keep to the main points. I will start

6
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: by saying, we have been married for almost twenty years.

7
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: Twenty years, and I have never cheated, not even once. Wow,

8
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: not even an otphha. One day a year or so ago,

9
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: my wife and I were alone on a dock having

10
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: a couple drinks. My wife, out of nowhere, asked me

11
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: if I've ever wanted to have spicy sleep with another woman.

12
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: I thought she was joking or she was testing me

13
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: at first, but when I pressed her a bit, she

14
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: was dead serious. I turned it around and said, you

15
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 1: go first, I need to think about this. As soon

16
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: as I said that, she brought up a guy from

17
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: a party we went to a few months ago, like

18
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: she brought him up instantly, like that you. After she went,

19
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: I was kind of shocked. I didn't have an answer

20
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: for her. There is nobody that I could think about

21
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: that I wanted to have sex with. I'm not so

22
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,839
Speaker 1: prude either. I look at Korn like the next guy,

23
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: but the thought of actually having intercourse with someone else

24
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: really never entered my mind as a possibility. But when

25
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: you watch Korn, aren't you isn't there a part of

26
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: you that's imagining having intercourse?

27
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: I think, I think I see what he's saying. Have

28
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 2: you ever like interacted with a person in real life

29
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 2: and you're like, Oh, you're like, I want to sleep

30
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: with that person with you? Yeah, I guess it's different. Yeah. Yeah.

31
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: So I was obviously very pissed, but I kept my

32
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: cool that day. I kept it inside for a while

33
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: and brought it up to her. The more I thought

34
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: about that party, the more upset I got. At the party,

35
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: she did talk to this guy a lot. At one point,

36
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: I left with a group to get more beer. When

37
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: I left, she stayed at the party, and so did

38
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: this guy.

39
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: I see you, doubled bro. A lot of ic us

40
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 2: going on over here. He's getting crazy.

41
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: When I brought it after her, she claimed that I

42
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: am making a big deal out of nothing that she

43
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: didn't even.

44
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: Riley keeps pressing, I see you, there's a lot of them.

45
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 2: I know that.

46
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: She didn't even like that guy, and that is just

47
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: the first thing she thought of why do you think

48
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: of it so quick? She claims that she asked for me,

49
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: that somehow she wanted to see if I was thinking

50
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: about other women. My brain can be pessimistic and think

51
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: the worst. Am I overreacting and thinking that my wife

52
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: wants to f this guy? I mean, didn't she just

53
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: say she wants to.

54
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: F that guy? It seems like it's right.

55
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: I think you should be asking did she already? Oh

56
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: that maybe they did, and that's something sexual happened. I mean,

57
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: why bring something up like this less you have a

58
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: guilty conscience? And there is two edits before we get

59
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: into that John, yes, sir? Two questions, Yes sir? Is

60
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: op overreacting?

61
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: And two? Did Ope's wife cheat? What do you think? So?

62
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: What would the What is the alleged overreaction that he's

63
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 2: like questioning his wife?

64
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: The alleged the alleged overreaction is that he saw her

65
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: at this party with this guy, and she had just

66
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: talked about if she were to have sexual relationships with someone,

67
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: this would be the.

68
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 2: Guy essentially, and so that causes him to be like,

69
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: are you cheating with this guy? Yeah?

70
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: Or I mean like like initially, I mean the first

71
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: thing that he's asking about. Is am I the a

72
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: hole for thinking that this guy?

73
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: This?

74
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: Am I the a hole for thinking that my wife

75
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: wants to f this guy? But literally, oh, p ass,

76
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: if she's ever wanted to have sex with another man,

77
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: and she's like, yeah, this guy.

78
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 2: It is the most reasonable assumption on planet Earth that

79
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: she wants to sleep with this guy? Is that not

80
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: literally what she says? Yes, The answer is no, it

81
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 2: is not an overreaction because she's spelling out in plain English.

82
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: That is just the facts that she is like interested

83
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 2: in this guy.

84
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: An overreaction comes from am I overreacting by thinking that

85
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: my wife actually did hook up with this guy and

86
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: any actions thereafter.

87
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 2: I don't think that's an overreaction in so far, op

88
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 2: like an overreaction would be you get up, drive to

89
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 2: your house and start throwing all of her stuff in

90
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 2: a lake because you think she's cheating without concrete evidence.

91
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 2: That's an overreaction. Simply simply believing that this is highly

92
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 2: likely not an over reaction.

93
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: But no, I'm saying no, there has been no reaction.

94
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: I don't think a reaction.

95
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 2: I agree and onto the uh is it possible that

96
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 2: this has happened? I totally think it is, because how

97
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 2: genius would it be to evil genius? Specifically, you cheat

98
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 2: with this guy and then you convince your husband like, oh,

99
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 2: let's go see other people, other people that you've absolved

100
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 2: yourself of the cheating, and he's never gonna think twice

101
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: about it because he's like, oh, we just had this

102
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: arrangement and like, you know, we set it all up

103
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 2: and all this, so like we're all good. And I'm

104
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 2: getting some on the side too.

105
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 1: You know what, that's a good point. It's a it's

106
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: a cheating cover up. You cheat, you just tell your partner, hey,

107
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: let's open up our marriage. Cheating absolved in their mind.

108
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 2: In their mind, because they'll be ten times less suspicious.

109
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 2: I think, like I would never. I don't think that

110
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 2: would cross my mind. M I'm kind of giving that

111
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 2: vibe too. What do you think?

112
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: Put your answers in the comments below. I'm gonna close

113
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: this out with this edit. It says this has been

114
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 1: eating me up this past year, which is my problem

115
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: that I let it go on this long. I'm debating

116
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: my next move, and I'm tempted to show her this

117
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: and they'll let that start the conversation. And this being

118
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: this being the Reddit story because he's like seeing all

119
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: the comments basically saying.

120
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 2: You should be worried. You should maybe be a bit worried.

121
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: Nice sneeze, catch Ley, thanks a. But what do y'all think?

122
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: Should Op be worried? Do you think Op's wife has

123
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: cheated and is simply using this opening up the marriage

124
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: as a way to cover it up?

125
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 2: I think so. But you can argue with me if

126
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 2: you want. I think so. I think so too.

130
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: This is an episode from Deep Within the Archives Time

131
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: for Okop rewam.

132
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 2: I was paid to do nothing for eighty nine days,

133
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 2: but today is the deadline and the company found out. Okayop,

134
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 2: this is Okayop.

135
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: I'm Samuel Daughter and I'm John Frot, and we tell

136
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: the Bundy of stories on the Internet.

137
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 2: Yeah we do. And I'm wondering, Sam, what's like the

138
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 2: worst in sense of you forgetting something? Like? What's been

139
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 2: the biggest downfall of you for getting something?

140
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: I put like a couple thousand dollars in this random

141
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: crypto bank thing, and I had literally like I had

142
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: a moment. Last a couple of weeks ago where I

143
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: was like, I have forgot my keys and I had

144
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: no idea where it was. Yeah, and then I remember,

145
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: oh wait, wait, I think I said one of my books.

146
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: But I had to like go through every single book

147
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: to find where I had written down these keys on

148
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: like a post it note, which is not the most

149
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: safe method, before holding all of my bank details, which

150
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: is basically what one of these things are. So yeah,

151
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: I totally almost got screwed over. But luckily I found

152
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: it and I was able to regain that money back.

153
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 2: That is good to hear. Yeah, it's kind of like

154
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 2: the equival of like the crypto stuffing the money in

155
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 2: the mattress, right, Like your key to the crypto is

156
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 2: like the cash. Yeah.

157
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely something I shouldn't do and am going to

158
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: be better about going forward, hopefully.

159
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 3: Well.

160
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 2: I have a story about someone who also made a

161
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 2: grave mistake, except it wasn't just his own money, it

162
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 2: was the company that was at stake.

163
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: Oh my god, those steaks are big when you're dealing

164
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: without fortune. Five hundred big old warm buffet business. Daddy's

165
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: gonna come with his club and a curb stop, ready

166
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: to take action.

167
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 2: Bigger steaks and a t bone a baby. Let's get

168
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 2: into it. I was paid to do nothing for eighty

169
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 2: nine days, but today is the deadline and the company

170
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 2: found out.

171
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: Oh no, the company found out you were doing your job.

172
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 2: Rats foiled again, foiled again. All right, So I've been

173
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 2: a student with the public service for about two years now.

174
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 2: My position, obviously Maxking specifics, can be best described as

175
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 2: a risk analyst, where I'm given fifty to ninety days

176
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 2: to review a file, confirm risk slash liability is feasible,

177
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 2: and then start drafting the contract. Okay, sounds simple enough,

178
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 2: sound straightforward. The fifty to ninety days depends on the

179
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 2: overall value of the work. As a student, I was

180
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 2: only seeing the easy, low value workload with a fifty

181
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 2: day expectation. I'm pretty good at my job, and I

182
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 2: was able to get it completed in five to ten

183
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 2: days and would officially submit around twenty five to thirty days. Yes,

184
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 2: this is what the typical government worker does. Wait, so

185
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 2: they just chill for it, just sit on all weeks. Yeah,

186
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 2: it's like, you know, I finish it in five days,

187
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 2: but I'll give it to you in a month.

188
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: Wow, that is some expert laziness. Right there, dude, extremely

189
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: expert lazy over here. I'm glad our government is in

190
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: such good hands.

191
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 2: Government efficiency maybe Now, I thought this was a fantastic

192
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 2: plan as I was consistently getting praise for my team

193
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 2: for how hard I work. Wow, he's literally doing it

194
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 2: so late and consistently getting praise.

195
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: I love like that is the bar is set so

196
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: low for government work that you can sit on your

197
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: ass for two weeks and get paid and people praise

198
00:09:58,760 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: you for it.

199
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 2: Dude. Rough, Now, the work here is not difficult in

200
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 2: any way even worse than only does he not work

201
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 2: for two weeks? But the work isn't hard. It's not difficult,

202
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 2: but it is extremely tedious. For example, tomorrow is likely

203
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 2: to consist of three to four hours of hard labor

204
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 2: of looking at memes and scrolling through Reddit, and then

205
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 2: one hour of actually working, which is eventually extended into

206
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 2: a lunch and then going home early. The one hour

207
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 2: still gives me enough time to be productive for the

208
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 2: day and submit a few things to my team. Now,

209
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 2: let's go over the f up from earlier this morning.

210
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 2: Oh no, I'm ready for it. Almost four months ago

211
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 2: I was offered a full time intermediate contract with the

212
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 2: same team, which I gladly accepted. This just meant that

213
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 2: I would receive a similar workload but with higher values.

214
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 2: So you know, it's not as much the you know,

215
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 2: low value stuff anymore.

216
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: So he's going to get the exact same amount of workload,

217
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: but he's just going to have more time to do it.

218
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like this, just like if I f it up,

219
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 2: it's it's monumentally important. Before it defin really mattered in

220
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 2: my head, I was thinking, fantastic, higher value equals more

221
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,719
Speaker 2: time to f around and get paid for it. Burrah.

222
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 3: Oh.

223
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: PE's of mind is uh is not built for employment.

224
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 2: Maybe it is maybe honestly what you should do. Well,

225
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 2: this was certainly not the case this morning. As I

226
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 2: entered work, oh No. Six forty five am. I walk

227
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 2: in and get weird stanky eyes for my entire team,

228
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 2: leading into the director's office. Seven am. Finish unpacking my

229
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 2: computer files and go for my coffee as per usual.

230
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 2: Right seven fifteen am, I get called into the director's office.

231
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 2: Let's call him director Jim. Jim and I have spoken

232
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 2: maybe twice in all of two years.

233
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Jim is not very active in the

234
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: office even imagining everyone just sitting on their ass like

235
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: twenty four to seven. Yeah, government work, baby, it needs

236
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: to be done twice or not at all.

237
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 3: Yes, Jim, Good morning everyone, Opie. Did you forget some

238
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 3: fan yesterday?

239
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: I love like I'm imagining. It's just like a massive

240
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: Texan dude.

241
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh dimm from Dimsdale dimodomes. Yeah, yeah, that's really odd. Parents,

242
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 2: but that he is even better. Yes, he's a cartoon,

243
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 2: but it works for this. Yes, I'm trying my hardest

244
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 2: to think. Umm no, I replied. Jim asked again, are

245
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 2: you dang diddli sure you didn't forget something? And naturally

246
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 2: I start to panic. What the F could I have forgotten?

247
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 2: Why is he asking me twice? Why is he even

248
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 2: talking to me? Oh? No? I asked him if I

249
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 2: could go get my notebook because I track everything there

250
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 2: and I don't really have the specifics in my head.

251
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 2: He refuses and says file xx three. Did you forget?

252
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 2: You were a signed file x x three, not x

253
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 2: x three.

254
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: The double x x marks the spot that you didn't

255
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: realize that you had to mark.

256
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 2: Sucker awkward silence for me, because there was this file

257
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 2: assigned to me right around the time my full contract signing,

258
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 2: and that was one of the highest value files of

259
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 2: them all.

260
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: Oh no, so Op is messing up on literally the

261
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: super Bowl of government projects.

262
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 2: All the files. Now here's the thing. I was given

263
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 2: eighty days to complete this when it was assigned, but

264
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 2: the deadline is today at two pm. Oh no, you

265
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 2: better work fast, op.

266
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 3: Jim, go get girl up topper. Now, boy boy, I

267
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 3: want to see you wayyet and who I can just

268
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 3: signed to clean up this nonsense mess.

269
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 2: This is also extremely awkward because yes, technically I didn't

270
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 2: forget about it, but what I couldn't admit was that

271
00:13:54,760 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 2: the file was actually completely done, like done done? What? Wait?

272
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 2: How Jim starts asking me what I even do all day,

273
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 2: threatening to get the IT department to see my browsing

274
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 2: history and Internet activity. No Op, no, no. At this point,

275
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 2: he's gone from his normal pale white calmmself to red

276
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 2: in the face, pacing back and forth. Oh gosh. I

277
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 2: asked Jim not to involve any of my colleagues, as

278
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 2: I assured him I could clean up this mess myself.

279
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 2: I get to my laptop and quickly make a new

280
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 2: folder for Jim to see, titled XX three he opens

281
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 2: it and it contained just the initial documents. My office

282
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 2: needs to start a file, but nothing more, so basically

283
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 2: like the beginnings of it, but not the whole thing. Right.

284
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 2: He lays into me, asking what I've been doing for

285
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 2: the last seventy nine days.

286
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, nothing, nothing, nothing.

287
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 2: OPI says, this is a fair question. I asked myself

288
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 2: often to be honest, and Jim also said if I

289
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 2: don't have this completed two pm, he will terminate me

290
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 2: as I am still on probation. Oh no, the job's

291
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 2: on the line, dude, everything's on the line now. Like

292
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 2: I said, the entire file from start to finish, is

293
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 2: already complete. So what's missing? You might ask the necessary

294
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 2: approvals and signatures for my team leader and Jim, the

295
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 2: director of our office. Oh so he's fine. So he

296
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 2: just needs to get the signatures. These signatures usually take

297
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 2: a week to get and are required before moving on

298
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 2: to finalizing and posting in our system. I finished this

299
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 2: entire MOFO in early October, one week after it was

300
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 2: assigned to me. Oh my god, but I completely forgot

301
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 2: to submit the individual documents as I progressed with it,

302
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 2: and that eventually led to me completely forgetting all about it. Now.

303
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 2: The thing is like, actually, like op was an overachiever.

304
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 2: It was an overachieved That's why he forgot. But here's

305
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 2: the thing. If he tells him that, then it blows

306
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 2: his cover. Then they know that the whole time he

307
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 2: was doing these in like five days and then sitting

308
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 2: on them the whole time. So that's why I couldn't

309
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 2: shown the original files. Oh god, now here we are

310
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 2: on Reddit posting about my f up as opposed to

311
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 2: actually submitting my own work. So he's literally writing this

312
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 2: in the middle of the chaos.

313
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Oh my god, he's writing it in

314

Speaker 2: the wise advice from many of you and submitted everything

Speaker 2: with an apology, so he basically decided to blow his

326
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 2: cover for his lax work style. Jim called me back

327
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 2: into his office a few minutes after submitting and I

328
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,840

329
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 2: and let me leave with a handshake. Thank you for

330
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,280
