1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: My racist sister in law said something that I could

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: never forget. But I have a plan to get her

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 1: fired and destroy her life.

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 2: Am I the a hole? You know what, Sam? I

5
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 2: think this is a story that I am. I'm excited

6
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 2: to see this one. You're excited. I love life going

7
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 2: into flames that he does for just causes. That's why

8
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 2: John always watches houses burning down. Oh I I literally

9
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 2: just popcorn. I just turn it on. Who needs channels?

10
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 2: Who needs YouTube? I need burning houses? Yeah.

11
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: John is the happiest guy when you give him a

12
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: matchbook and a log cabin.

13
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 2: That's it. That's all I need. Please, please let me.

14
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: Let me get one of the many joys that I

15
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 1: can have, or actually maybe one of the few joys

16
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: I can have out of life and just you know,

17
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: be a pyromaniac.

18
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 2: I don't eat. That's all I want. That's all he wants.

19
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 2: He wants.

20
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 1: He wants to be a reverse fireman, which sounds like

21
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: a sex position.

22
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 2: It's John's call. It really does. Reverse fireman. Wow, maybe

23
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 2: we shouldn't invent that reverse byre man the comments? What

24
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 2: you think that is? Describe the reverse firemen of the comments?

25
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 2: I love that I've been married to my wife for

26
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 2: about ten years, and we're a mixed race couple. I'm

27
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 2: Asian and she's cock Asian, emphasis on the cock. I've

28
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 2: got along with her family. There's like a joke where

29
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 2: it's like, what do you call a guy that's Asian?

30
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 2: I don't know, Caucasian because he has a cock. No,

31
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: I get it allright. I've got along with her family,

32
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 2: a mother, law, brother in law, sister in law. But

33
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: I always felt like her father in law and other

34
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: sister in law. Sarah never really liked me. I'm a

35
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 2: professional trained chef with fifteen plus years of experience, and

36
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: I work at a high end Chinese restaurant. It's good

37
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: off of a popular one in Beijing in a large

00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: US city. That's cool. Yeah, ye use some of those

Speaker 2: the soul through the tongue.

Speaker 1: told I'll be the next executive chef.

44
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 2: Let's go.

45
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: This is He's going on like a big international. Sarah

46
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: is also a professionally trained chef.

47
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 2: What is this family? Two?

48
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: Professionally trained chefs on either side. Wow, that's crazy, and

49
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: works at a popular upscale French restaurant in the city.

50
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: She constantly brags about it and no joke compares herself

51
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: out loud to Ramsey and Burdaine, anyone who dares dares

52
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: have the audacity to compare themselves to my boy, Big

53
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 1: Gordy and Anthony Bourdaine.

54
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 2: But I'm a soft spot for for Big Gordy. Yeah

55
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: you already, ah yeah, And the only thing you have

56
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 2: in common with Burdaine is that you're dead meat. You

57
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: know something about Sam. He always goes for it, ladies

58
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 2: and gentlemen. My man takes the leaps. He takes the

59
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 2: leaps and oh God, rest in peace. Regard an Yeah,

60
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 2: whatever whatever. I'm at my mother in law and father

61
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 2: in law's house and helping out in the kitchen. Sarah

62
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 2: is always criticizing everything I do, whether it's chopping, braising, marinating,

63
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: et cetera. She always butts in the comments and is like,

64
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 2: I think you should actually do X like this. I'm

65
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 2: a patient for my wife inside stepping those comments saying

66
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 2: things like thanks, stick to the way I do it,

67
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: which is I love this this under the current kind

68
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 2: of what's the word. It's not backhanded compliments, it's comments

69
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 2: like the sarcast yeast sarcastic snarkiness going on. Things came

70
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: to a head two weeks ago when my wife, father

71
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 2: in law, mother in law, and I were in her parents'

72
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 2: kitchen prepping dinner for my mother in law's birthday. We

73
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: were running a bit behind, so things were heated. Ooh god,

74
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 2: which I kind of like because it reminded me of

75
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 2: the reverse fire now because it reminded me of work.

76
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 2: What are you doing at work? Yeah?

77
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: And that's when Sarah walked in. She took one look

78
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: at what I was doing, scoffed, and said something like,

79
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: oh wow, okay, so that's not the right way of

80
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: doing things. It hit a nerve and I pretty sternly

81
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: told her to stop criticizing my cooking and that I'm

82
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: also a chef like her. She laughed and said making

83
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: kum pow chicken at some Chinese restaurant doesn't count, lady.

84
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: The kitchen went silent. Father in law snorted, slash chuckled,

85
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: and my mother in law yelled, Sarah, what the hell

86
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: is wrong with you? I stopped what I was doing,

87
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,799
Speaker 1: swore at her and called her a racist piece of shit,

88
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 1: apologized to my mother in law for not being able

89
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: to stay, and left for home with my wife stand

90
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: your ground, baby girl, there we go. Apparently this caused

91
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: a massive fight after we left, with my mother in law,

92
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: brother in law, the sister in law taking my side,

93
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: and father in law Sarah saying it was a joke

94
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: but kind of true and that I was being too sensitive.

95
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: The extended family somehow got wind of this and now

96
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: everyone is arguing and taking sides.

97
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 2: We love it.

98
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna take sides too, with my wife even getting

99
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: text from some of her cousins apologizing for Sarah's behavior

100
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: despite being on my side. My wife is begging me

101
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: to apologize with the fighting will stop, but I refuse

102
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: because Sarah and her blatant racism so am id a hole.

103
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: There is an update, Oh, but first I want you

104
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: to tippyap on your keyboards and tell me is OP

00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:36,240

Speaker 2: John? Quickly? Now before we go in to the update.

107
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 2: Is OP the a hole? Absolutely not OP laying down

108
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 2: the law, which like shout out to you, Opie, and

109
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 2: like high key Opie. It's just been dealing with it,

110
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 2: like all this small incident. It's not an isolated incident,

111
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 2: and it's just like, and this is your profession. Like

112
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,559
Speaker 2: someone's like constantly like, hey, if someone I mean people

113
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 2: we know roaster videos in terms of well, actually I

114
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 2: love when people hate me, but John, I'm a weird off. Yeah,

115
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 2: you hate comments me. But like literally, if to someone

116
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 2: who's like clearly dedicated themselves to the craft of like

117
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 2: making food and just like, ah, you know, it would

118
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 2: so get under my skin and infuriate me. And then

119
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 2: and then add that comment on top of it, I'm

120
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 2: going ballistic. Yeah, definitely. Yeah. And also it's just like,

121
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 2: if you're being racist, you should probably be called out

122
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 2: for it. Yes, take it as a learning lesson. That's right,

123
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 2: this is what happens, John, be racist. So there's an update.

124
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: Oh wow.

125
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: My wife has also informed me that now Sarah may

126
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: be in trouble at work and she's blaming me for it.

127
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: Apparently one of her coworkers heard her rant about what

128
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: happened and reported it to management and it too. So

129
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: it looks like one of my wife's cousins found this

130
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: post and put it on Sarah's Facebook wall, saying this

131
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: is you right. Her Facebook friends are starting to comment

132
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: things like if this is you, Sarah, then I'm disappointed. Oh,

133
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: I think Sarah's still at work. She might be hitting

134
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: the fans soon. And now my wife is pissed too.

135
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 1: We'll try to update, but might have to delete posts

136
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: if things go nuclear. Edit three was considering removing, but

137
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: I just got a voicemail from my father in law

138
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: that my presence was only being tolerated up until this

139
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: point and threatened a world of hurt if I didn't

140
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: delete this post. Eventually going to keep it up now.

141
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: And if you're still reading this, Doug, I'm very disappointed

142
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: in you. You're better than this.

143
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:34,119
Speaker 2: Whoa talk about showing your true colors? Yeah, whoa wow Wow.

144
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 2: I love how she's like calling out by name, fucking Doug.

145
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 2: Get it, dougy. And at four, my.

146
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: Wife got a call from sister in law. From wife's paraphrasing,

147
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: Sarah started screaming, crying at her the moment my wife

148
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: picked up and said that she just got demoted because

149
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: of her Asian slur. Husband, You're not with it any

150
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: points for using some slurs, my guy, You.

151
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 2: Continue to be dumb and racist? You can you continue?

152
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 2: It's like, maybe stop doing the action that's getting you

153
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 2: in all this hot water for self preservation, literally, if

154
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 2: not to be a good person. Yeah. Apparently some of

155
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 2: her coworkers have her on Facebook and showed the post

156
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 2: of management, which combined with an earlier rand double whammied

157
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 2: her back to being a line cook and now she

158
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 2: might get fired. My wife told her to go herself

159
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 2: and is now sorly on my side after taking the

160
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 2: verbal abuse from Sarah and reading some of the comments here.

161
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 2: My wife is still the opposite of happy though. Two

162
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 2: wife called mother in law asking her what the f

163
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 2: was going on with father in law. Mother in law

164
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 2: was confused, so my wife played back the voicemail I

165
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 2: had on my phone, and apparently my mother in law

166
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 2: literally just walked away from the phone without up and

167
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 2: started screaming at father in law, Hey, let's go okay.

168
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 2: Three Facebook post has now devolved into a cluster frick

169
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 2: flame war with family and friends jumping in. Suffice to

170
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 2: say this has officially gone nuclear. But there's a little

171
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 2: bit more. Oh my god, what more is there? So

172
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 2: this says is titled father in law aka Doug. Apparently

173
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 2: my mother in law and father in law were already

174
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 2: having trouble in their marriage, and it was only made

175
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 2: worse with a certain twenty sixteen presidential election. She's a

176
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 2: Democrat and he had apparently gone more far right since then.

177
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 2: Seems that a line was crossed with the Kung Pao

178
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 2: incident and his voicemail when he refused to apologize for

179
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,959
Speaker 2: anything typical Doug. She asked for a divorce and he

180
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 2: went berserk. Sh'dn't feel safe, so that's when she came over.

181
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: But there's even more John God, So this is the

182
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: fallout from the extended family.

183
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 2: You may have been able to tell already, but the.

184
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: Extended family was largely arguing, fighting, divided along political lines

185
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: for a few years now, and my cousin's Facebook post

186
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: was likely just the light that set off the powder kech.

187
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: According to my mother in law, the fall has allegedly

188
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: already led to some breakups, excommunication of some family members,

189
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 1: and even an argument that ended in police involvement. And

190
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: then finally the fallout for Sarah and sister in law

191
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: tell me. According to my mother in law, Sarah came

192
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: over to her place on Friday. The writing on the

193
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: wall was that she was basically forced to quit despite

194
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: her trying to start from scratch as a line cook.

195
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,959
Speaker 1: The entire staff turn against her. Nothing was coming back

196
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: from the dish pit for her, and she was getting

197
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: the cold shoulder. She's a great chef. I will admit

198
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: this is true, but they took no chances since it

199
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 1: turns out, you know, they're partly owned by a Chinese

200
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 1: investment company. Woo who come on found this hard to

201
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: believe and didn't want to add this detail, but it

202
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: turned out to be true after some research. Word also

203
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: got out around the local industry and Sarah is essentially

204
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 1: blacklisted from a high end establishment. She's going to be

205
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: only working at McDonald's. This is a fry cook's, all right.

206
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: She's now considering selling her home and moving to find work.

207
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: As much as I don't like her and found her

208
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 1: behavior horrifying, I didn't intend this to happen. So I've

209
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: reached out to some buds in other states to see

210
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: if they have any openings. Whether or not she wants

211
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: to take it is up to her, and no, she

212
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: has not apologized for anything. It sure as hell doesn't

213
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: feel like a happy ending. Perhaps bitter sweet justice, but

214
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: that's all I can give you. Thank you for your

215
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: support and thank you for reading.

216
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 2: Wow my talk about a chain reaction nuclear nucular just

217
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 2: like it was like the explosion that kept exploding, yeah, right,

218
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 2: just like you thought it was already imploding and then

219
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 2: it just going You thought one new to set off

220
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 2: the nuke factory. It's like in those action movies where

221
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 2: it's like there's like one little explosion and then another

222
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 2: explosion and another explosion and then the whole building just

223
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 2: like goes up and they're just like in slow motion

224
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 2: it's looking sick. Yeah, So knowing what you know is

225
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 2: op the ahole. No, absolutely, God loves racism absolutely, not

226
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 2: the a hole. And I think this is an I

227
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 2: think an interesting question for everyone out there is did

228
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 2: the sister in law deserve to be fired? I would

229
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 2: really like to see the discussion here because I think that,

230
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 2: like you could say, like in the beginning, right, she

231
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 2: made this stupid, dumb racist joke, right, and also it

232
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 2: wasn't even just a like ah geez, like that was stupid,

233
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,599
Speaker 2: like dad, No, she she never apologized. It was the

234
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 2: it showed that it was the tip of the iceberg

235
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 2: for her. Yeah. I think if she made that one joke, yeah,

236
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: and then said, Hey, I'm really sorry for my actions.

237
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 2: Didn't mean to it was a dumb mistake, and I'm

238
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 2: really sorry for it. I don't think she deserved everything

239
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 2: she got, exactly the fact that she continued to hold

240
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 2: that racist ideology and it seems like continue to spread it.

241
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 2: I think she deserves I think she deserves it. I

242
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 2: kind of think she deserves it because like she she

243
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 2: didn't learn from it at all. She kept going down.

244
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 2: And then also I think, like, let's going back to

245
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 2: the original joke, Like there's there's kind of like, uh,

246
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,599
Speaker 2: there's like joking with like the intent of trying to

247
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 2: be funny and just trying to like whatever, like yeah,

248
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 2: but this is insulting this this it was a joke.

249
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 2: It's like it was a true insult. It was a

250
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 2: true insult, right. So it's like it was pretty clear

251
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 2: to me from there, like all the comments before leading

252
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 2: up to it, that was like the writing on the

253
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 2: wall for me. So like I think that, and you

254
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 2: know what, and you know, we could even say, like okay,

255
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 2: let's say she was just thinking of a Chinese dish,

256
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 2: and it was just like hey, like you know, you're

257
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 2: not making good food. Let's just let's just say she

258
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 2: was the super benefit of the doubt, the super benefit

259
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 2: of the doubt, you know, just purely insulting the food.

260
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 2: But then she goes and uses the Chinese slur and

261
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 2: it's like, okay, you've removed all doubt and never apology.

262
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 2: I never apologize, never once apologize. So it's like she

263
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 2: completely didn't learn her lesson. And like, you know, I mean, hey, uh,

264
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 2: shout out to Op for being a good person and

265
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 2: trying to hook a job opportunities. But yeah, I think

266
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 2: like she dug, she dug, she continued, and she continued

267
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 2: to dig that grit unacceptable. Yeah. I think Also something

268
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 2: that might be interesting is like, it seems like this

269
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 2: family is divided along political lines. I wonder if anyone

270
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 2: has had any familial fallout because of politics or because

271
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 2: of like racism or anything like that. We'd love to

272
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 2: hear some of those stories, especially, I mean, one, we

288
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 2: right move, especially when they told her they'd bar her

Speaker 2: just ruin it all. And I think I found who

297
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,560

00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 2: job description? You know what we're doing right now? Oh? Exactly,

00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 2: the end of the art. But hey, we keep you

310
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 2: So I work in upper middle management at a large

311
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 2: business and entertainment events company and recently we got back

312
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 2: to regular face to face client meetings. Over the last

313
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 2: few weeks, we've been having some intense and lengthy meetings

314
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 2: in our office with a potential local client, which could

315
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 2: really take our company to the next level if it

316
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 2: works out. Oh, big business moves. What do you think

317
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 2: it is? Well? Business, So it's a business and entertainment

318
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 2: events company, entertainment events, so that could be what like

319
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 2: maybe like like a golden globes like like through the event,

320
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 2: or like anything like a little tiny, little production company,

321
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 2: you know, large business and entertainment events. I guess large

322
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 2: maybe yeah, so maybe it's like like like conferences like

323
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 2: web summits kind of a thing. I don't know. I

324
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 2: don't know. I'm not very knowledgeable of the the entertainmate

325
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 2: events industry, knowledge of the business and entertainment's events. I

326
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 2: am sorry. I wish I did. I wish I was

327
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 2: more knowledgeable. At least it's not niche industry. Oh my god,

328
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 2: fuck niche industry. Niche industry is every industry never mentioned

329
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 2: in Reddit story, so thanks for the industry in this one. However,

330
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 2: a rather awkward problem has arisen during these meetings, which

331
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 2: tend to last all afternoon. Someone breaks wind. The flailing

332
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 2: flatulence has struck again, ah silently, usually more than once.

333
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 2: The odor is frankly overwhelming, yet there is not much

334
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 2: in the way of any clear reaction from anyone in

335
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 2: the room. I've noticed some people very very discreetly eye

336
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 2: each other suspiciously, but it's quite a formal and stiff atmosphere,

337
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 2: with several very serious and no nonsense. Senior executives present

338
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 2: from both sides. Hey, you know, maybe maybe this is

339
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 2: this is an icebreaker, that this this this bunch of

340
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 2: stiffs needed. Yeah, we want to loosen you know. Come on.

341
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 2: I think actually a great you know, like in college

342
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 2: where it's like, all right, you know, everyone say one

343
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 2: fun fact about you. Yeah, I say, have everyone in

344
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 2: the circle try to fart part contest. Start contest, fart contest.

345
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 2: That will definitely break the ice and for sure break went. Oh.

346
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 2: I love this idea corporate training session coming too soon.

347
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 2: So it appears people are just doing their best to

348
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 2: ignore this rude interruption. During one of the wind breaking incidents,

349
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 2: a junior member of the staff sat with her elbow

350
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 2: on the table and put her hand over her mouth.

351
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 2: Tried to make it look like she was just resting

352
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 2: her head. Well, no, I think she's like trying to

353
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 2: cover the oh yeah, which is spinky, Like you know.

354
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 2: I thought you was like like trying to hiller. I

355
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 2: mean I think maybe her her vocal cords are being seared. Yeah,

356
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 2: she can't even laugh anymore too much more. On another occasion,

357
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,199
Speaker 2: I noticed one of the clients frowning and looking out

358
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 2: of the corner of their eye. But frankly, I dare

359
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 2: not catch anyone's eye, so I always quickly avert my

360
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 2: gaze to avoid any awkwardness or God forbid suspicion. Right,

361
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 2: you don't want to think that you are the fart.

362
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 2: It's a regular old who farted it? Who who done farted?

363
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 2: That's right. Everything at our company is business like and

364
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 2: relations are generally good. I know everyone reasonably well on

365
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 2: our side, so I had to assume the culprit was

366
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 2: from the would be clients team. But imagine my horror when,

367
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 2: after the clients had left our last meeting, leaving our

368
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 2: team to continue the discussion amongst ourselves the silent boardroom,

369
00:19:55,400 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 2: Farther struck again again. His vengeance, no sigh, friendly foreigner,

370
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 2: His vengeance knows no bounds. I was incredulous. There were

371
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 2: three senior male executives in the room and two junior

372
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 2: female members of the staff who were not always present

373
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 2: at the other meetings, So I'm fairly certain the culprit

374
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 2: is a senior management figure at our firm. That's you know,

375
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 2: they've become They've been become too comfortable on their job.

376
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 2: They know they know they no one can take them down, untouchable.

377
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 2: You think you can defeat me? Fired? You fool you Dad,

378
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 2: challenge me, my stenchkin kwonka edny Mo. I am thought supreme.

379
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 2: My Spigta is the royal septa of this company. I

380
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 2: don't know why, but I'm imagining like all regular business people.

381
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 2: And then what's his name is Egghead from Sonic the Hedgehog. Yeah,

382
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,479
Speaker 2: the guy that's like super fat with the big arch

383
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 2: mustache just gives off that vibe like w Luigi exactly. Yeah, yeah, true, true,

384
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 2: big fart energy on that guy. I'm completely at a

385
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 2: loss as to how to deal with this. I'm quite

386
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 2: ambitious and I've invested a lot of energy into making

387
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 2: this project happen, so I can't believe that a senior

388
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 2: company member is behaving in such a rude manner and

389
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 2: potentially jeopardizing it by acting so unprofessionally towards other potential partners. Hey,

390
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 2: everyone's got a fart. Yeah, we gotta let it out,

391
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 2: you know what. The potential clients cannot have possibly failed

392
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 2: to notice the smell, and I can only assume that

393
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 2: they're simply being polite and professional by ignoring it. However,

394
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 2: I'm just afraid that there are limits to anyone's tolerance

395
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 2: and that sooner rather than later, they will decide one

396
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 2: way or another to end their interest in working with us.

397
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 2: I mean you imagine that someone's like, Hey, you know,

398
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 2: the deal looks really really good. We're gonna make a

399
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 2: ton of money, but damn the smell in the conference room. Nah,

400
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 2: and this sounds like I feel like it's like like

401
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 2: a multi hundred thousand dollars deal. Yeah, that sounds big.

402
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 2: This is like scene like sounds like up to twenty

403
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 2: like senior, junior, middle people in a boardroom all day

404
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 2: long working on this. This is a big deal. This

405
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 2: was just such a strange problem. How on earth can

406
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 2: I voice my concerns to my superiors? Now? Sam, there

407
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 2: is a there is an update. But everyone, I'm curious,

408
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 2: what would you do if you had a a frequent flatulator?

409
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 2: How would you approach this to save the deal? I

410
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 2: really don't think the deal is at risk. Sam, it's

411
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 2: a frequent flatulator. We can't have this at our company.

412
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I just you know, it is unprofessional.

413
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 2: What about hitting the slack and just being like hey everyone,

414
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 2: Like I hate to be that guy, but like it

415
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 2: seems like our team is like farting. It's like farting,

416
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 2: and like it's just not a good look. Right, Like,

417
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 2: what if we had like a meeting with like a

418
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 2: big like a big client or like a brand sponsor

419
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 2: or something, unless someone farted and someone's just constantly up

420
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 2: a storm. I mean, you take them aside and you

421
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 2: talk to it. I would be I think I would

422
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 2: be pretty pissed. Actually, yeah, I would be kind of pisted, Like, yo, dude,

423
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 2: or are you taking cloth? Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna

424
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 2: tape that ass they have. They have a pad. No,

425
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 2: not a tape, but like a pad that's basically so.

426
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 2: I think it's like a like a charcoal something and

427
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 2: a silencer. I don't it might also silence, but the

428
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 2: key thing is it traps. It traps the smell from

429
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 2: I think it's like some sort of charcoal something, so

430
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 2: like passes through whatever. Maybe maybe the company buys every

431
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 2: one a pair of those, and mandatory uniform have to

432
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 2: wear these, and so maybe it's like two options either

433
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 2: a everyone wears fart pads or be the flatulator has

434
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 2: to come privately, anonymously go to HR and be like, hey,

435
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 2: this is the problem I'm having, you know, working, get

436
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 2: them some probiotics, like like maybe go to the doctor,

437
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 2: you know, on the company guard. Get it figured out

438
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,679
Speaker 2: by the next meeting. Yeah, hey, we're just coming up

439
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 2: with solutions. We are just solving left and right. But

440
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 2: there is an update. All right, let's hear it. The

441
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 2: issue did not go away, and things turned out a

442
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 2: whole lot differently than how I expected. So there were

443
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 2: another four to five meetings. The farting continued, continued. In

444
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 2: some meetings it was worse than others. It did seem

445
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 2: that those scheduled in the morning were less gassy affairs,

446
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 2: although by no means did attendees enjoy fresh air for

447
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 2: the entire duration of those meetings. I think it should

448
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 2: like we should kind of like clue it where it's like,

449
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 2: all right, one person is taken out of the meeting,

450
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 2: and like each meeting and then see which you do

451
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,719
Speaker 2: ab testing, you see which meetings are smelly. And if

452
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 2: a meeting is not smelly for the entirety of meeting

453
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 2: and one person's been taken out, then you know who

454
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 2: the farder. You know, you know what's going on. Despite

455
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 2: the regular bouts of nostril burning flatulence wafting throughout the room.

456
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 2: It became clear that we were going to be working

457
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 2: with this client on a long term basis, and the

458
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 2: atmosphere grew a little more relaxed. Accordingly, I love how

459
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 2: it's like relax but it's just just the wording is

460
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 2: so formal. On one occasion, near the end of a meeting,

461
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 2: someone cracked a very funny joke which provoked an outburst

462
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 2: of communal laughter, during which someone of communal laughter. We

463
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 2: were all having a good time, and we all said

464
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 2: ha ha ha, good one Johnson, that was hilarious during

465
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 2: something like a corporate robot. Yeah for real, during which

466
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 2: someone presumably involuntarily let out an audible fart. It was short,

467
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 2: not very loud, and if anyone noticed it, they didn't

468
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 2: let on. However, whilst I couldn't be sure if anyone

469
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 2: had heard it, it was certainly smelt by everyone. The

470
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 2: eyewatering foul stench wiped the smiles off of faces and

471
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,959
Speaker 2: replaced them amused expressions of a few others with frowns.

472
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 2: This seemingly brought this particular meeting to a slightly premature end,

473
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 2: as the most senior member of the team rose to

474
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 2: his feet and said, without a hint of irony, well,

475
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 2: that's probably a good note as any to end on

476
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 2: for the day. It was unclear if he was referring

477
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 2: to the funny Joe cracked a few minutes earlier or

478
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 2: the fart. Indeed, he seemed a very sharp individual who

479
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 2: probably realized it was a perfect moment for ambiguity. But

480
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 2: I have to admit the sight of everyone's eyes darting

481
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 2: around the room to possibly try to gauge each other's

482
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 2: reactions to see exactly what he meant was an amusing one,

483
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 2: but not as amusing as moments later watching our senior

484
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 2: management leaning over the table exchanging farewell platitudes and shaking

485
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 2: hands whilst yet another stinking fart assaulted everyone's noses. So

486
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 2: no one's hearing these farts, they're just smelling them. It

487
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 2: seems like majority have been like silent, but like you

488
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 2: always smelled silent. It got to the point where people

489
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 2: let their guard down a bit and became a little

490
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 2: less strained in hiding their reactions. An electric fan mysteriously

491
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 2: appeared in the corner of the meeting room one day,

492
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 2: but it wasn't used for the first meeting it appeared

493
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 2: in probably as it was an early morning affair with

494
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 2: limited silent but deadly emissions. During one particularly gassy afternoon

495
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 2: episode a week later, one of the clients, a younger female,

496
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 2: was sat with the corners of her mouth pointing downwards

497
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 2: and using a piece of a four paper to fan

498
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 2: the air, trying to make it look like she was

499
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 2: just cooling down her face. Our director saw this and

500
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 2: asked the junior member sitting near the fan to switch

501
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 2: it on, please, seems like it's getting a little halting

502
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 2: here with a completely straight face, so butted up here.

503
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 2: I know, right, just say someone's fucking farting. Come on,

504
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 2: stop it, I'm the madness on. The fan went, but

505
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 2: the speed was set to the higher speed than anticipated,

506
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 2: and all that happened was pieces of paper meeting notes

507
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 2: and a newspaper were just blown off the table and

508
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 2: flew around the room, along with the familiar pungent stench. Thankfully,

509
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 2: this was laughed off, and I took advantage of the

510
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,719
Speaker 2: interruption to suggest a break. As we left the office,

511
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,719
Speaker 2: juniors to clear up the chaos. During the unplanned interval,

512
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 2: I noticed our most senior executive had hung back to

513
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 2: help reorganize the group. This was most out of character,

514
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 2: but it turned out he had just wanted to get

515
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 2: the newspaper, which was blown inside out. Seconds later, he

516
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 2: emerged from the room and walked towards the gaggle of

517
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 2: us who were drinking coffee and chatting in the open

518
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 2: plan area outside the meeting room. He radiated a beaming

519
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 2: smile as he strode right past everyone in the direction

520
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 2: of the men's restroom with a newspaper tucked under his arm.

521
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 2: Seeing that he didn't return to the meeting room for

522
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 2: a good ten minutes after everyone else had didn't take

523
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 2: Sherlock Holmes to deduce why he had been so eager

524
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 2: to get his hands on some reading material. This braizen,

525
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 2: an unashamed approach to bathroom business, quickly led me to

526
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 2: place him in the number one position on the silent

527
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 2: boardroom farmer suspect. Here we go. He is number one

528
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 2: suspect for the crime. That's right. I also especially noted

529
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 2: that there were no more silent but deadly interruptions for

530
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 2: the remainder of the meeting, which went three more hours

531
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 2: or so. During our very last meeting, which was to

532
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 2: seal the deal, there was an awkward culture clash. We

533
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 2: work in a multinational office in a major Asian city.

534
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 2: English is the working language, but between us and the

535
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 2: client team everyone speaks English fluently, but there is a

536
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 2: varying mix of comprehension of our coast untries language. All

537
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 2: of our senior executives are Westerners and unable to convert

538
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 2: in the local language. I'm not a local, but I'm

539
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 2: fluent in the local language. During the meeting, two maintenance

540
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,239
Speaker 2: men wearing overalls into the room and announced they were

541
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 2: responding to a report of a fault in the ventilation system.

542
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 2: Oh so they're literally going to redo the whole air

543
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 2: ducks rather than address the fartherer. This is crazy. This

544
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 2: is crazy corporate America. But both the workers were not

545
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 2: fluent in English, so I did some on the SPA interpretation,

546
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 2: to which our most senior executive replied, please tell the

547
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 2: janitors that the air conditioning and ventilation system are working fine.

548
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 2: We have very important business to conclude today, I duly interpreted.

549
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 2: But the workmen, not at all concerned with the duties

550
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 2: of the border Medicut bluntly replied in the local vernacular,

551
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 2: there's no ventilation problem, but it smells like shit in here,

552
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 2: thank you. Finally, someone calls it ouse, which basically caused

553
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 2: half of the room who could understand, to laugh and

554
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 2: the other half to respond with smiles and looks of

555
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 2: curiosity as to what exactly was said. Thinking on my feet,

556
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 2: I didn't translate anything back to my side, but urged

557
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 2: the maintenance guys to come back in a few hours

558
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 2: because it was a really important meeting and we really

559
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 2: had to get on with it. It was a ruse

560
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 2: which seemed to impress a client executive who is fluent

561
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 2: in that language, and offered my side a way to

562
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 2: continue drawing more attention to the constant bad smells than necessary.

563
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 2: The deal ended up being signed off. It was decided

564
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 2: both teams would go out for dinner and drinks to celebrate.

565
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 2: Sure enough, the drinks float on both sides let their

566
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 2: hair down as the night drew on. Whilst chatting with

567
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 2: one of the clients, someone of a similar level to

568
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 2: myself and with a few drinks in me, I couldn't

569
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 2: help but bring up the farting issue. The client replied, Oh,

570
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 2: that was our boss. We are so sorry about that.

571
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 2: He's a great guy. But since there in the office,

572
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 2: telling dick and fart jokes all day. He says, it's

573
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 2: an example of thinking outside of the box to make

574
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 2: our team more relaxed and comfortable with each other. So

575
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 2: after each meeting we were telling him to quit passing gas.

576
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 2: He would deny it each time, but the whole thing

577
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 2: had just become a running joke for our team, so

578
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 2: we rolled with it. Sorry about that, Oh wow them

579
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 2: the whole time. Wow it was the clients. It was

580
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 2: the clients. Very surprised by this revelation at the level

581
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 2: of humor coming from such an otherwise professional and serious team,

582
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 2: I felt it best to just laugh it off and

583
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 2: not reveal the real source of the reek. Oh so

584
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 2: Opie believes that it's still there. That's interesting. But emboldened

585
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 2: by this, days later, I ran into our senior executive's

586
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 2: personal assistant, who was usually in the meetings, and asked

587
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 2: her straight up if the guy had a win problem.

588
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, she replied, I'm glad that my desk is outside.

589
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 2: He just sits and farts in his office room all

590
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 2: day and just doesn't care. I ended up feeling like

591
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 2: I was the one who had the problem all along.

592
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 2: A keener sense of smell than most not especially amused

593
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 2: by fart jokes in a little naive seniority level and

594
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:50,959
Speaker 2: attitude to public farting are not necessarily linked. Wow.

595
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: Wow, Opie sounds like a freakin' robot. You know, Opie

596
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: really does though?

597
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, corporate robot over here. Yeah, let your hair down,

598
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 2: op Yeah, you're talking about letting your hair down is

599
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 2: like talking about farts, like we need to your mind

600
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 2: and your but and your buttle let those farts loose.

601
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 2: But Sam, do you think do you and everyone watching?

602
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 2: I guess the quick question was op maybe the a

603
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 2: hole for not bringing it to everyone's attention and not

604
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 2: addressing the issue at hand. Yeah. I mean someone shouldn't

605
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 2: be farting so much. Yeah, it's too much, too much,

606
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 2: too much, I mean, especially with clients, big clients, Like

607
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,959
Speaker 2: that's super unprofessional. Yeah. I say, we get the charcoal

608
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 2: underpant thing. Yeah, let's do that. Let's do that. Let's

609
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 2: solve the problem, Let's solve it at its source. That's right. Yeah,

610
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 2: I say, charcoal underpants for the wind to help this

611
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 2: man break his breaking wind. I think that's a beautiful idea.

612
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 2: I try.

613
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: But what we always love to break is the comment

614
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: of our public subscribers. Oh yes, and on the my

615
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: parents said it's my baby. Michelle Tharp five five six

616
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: five says, as someone who works with horses daily, when

617
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 1: the owner says the horse doesn't like kids, you should

618
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: absolutely listen. The mom is putting those kids in serious danger,

619
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: especially if she's inexperience with horses and won't tell the

620
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: kids off. And if she won't tell the kids off them,

621
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: they'd start to irritate the horse. And when a kid

622
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 1: is inevitably hurt, bucked off, kicked, bitten, or stepped on,

623
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 1: it's no one's fault but their own. The owner is

624
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 1: not the asshole and gave them plenty of warning. If

625
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: you're going to be a dumbass around horses, you'd better

626
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 1: be prepared for the consequences. Also, don't promise crap to

627
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: people about an animal that isn't your own.

628
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 2: See how they are.

629
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,399
Speaker 1: Don't fuck with horses and be entitled, because they'll fuck

630
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:45,879
Speaker 1: you up if you piss them off.

631
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 2: Don't fuck with horses. That's right. We love the comments
