Speaker:cold.
Speaker:it's really
Speaker:hit

Speaker:weather is

Speaker:time.
Speaker:by the day.

Speaker:older, um, the internet and
Speaker:people
Speaker:would be like, oh,
Speaker:Dallas says
Speaker:the same
Speaker:memes,
Speaker:I
Speaker:guess, Texas.
Speaker:And
Speaker:then
Speaker:it'd be like, oh, literally
Speaker:everywhere has the same fucking
Speaker:memes unless you live in

Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:But you
Speaker:know how the new cycle
Speaker:is like
Speaker:it's
Speaker:done
Speaker:now and then everyone in two
Speaker:weeks
Speaker:will be
Speaker:like,
Speaker:oh
Speaker:yeah, I
Speaker:remember
Speaker:when
Speaker:will
Speaker:Smith did
Speaker:that thing?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:exactly.
Speaker:Um,
Speaker:I
Speaker:will say,
Speaker:uh, just
Speaker:my last
Speaker:few
Speaker:thoughts
Speaker:on it.
Speaker:I, I
Speaker:agree with you to a point
Speaker:I've
Speaker:had
Speaker:some
Speaker:time to think
Speaker:about it.
Speaker:And,
Speaker:definitely
Speaker:in
Speaker:our
Speaker:comments
Speaker:on the tech doc,
Speaker:they were like,
Speaker:uh,
Speaker:you know,
Speaker:maybe
Speaker:a white
Speaker:guy, shouldn't
Speaker:be
Speaker:talking
Speaker:about this,
Speaker:which is
Speaker:fair.
Speaker:Um,
Speaker:and I'd
Speaker:like to go on to that
Speaker:to say
Speaker:it was
Speaker:ridiculous.
Speaker:Seeing all
Speaker:the
Speaker:fucking
Speaker:white
Speaker:comics
Speaker:come
Speaker:out
Speaker:to
Speaker:white Knight
Speaker:for
Speaker:Chris
Speaker:rock.
Speaker:Like
Speaker:holy
Speaker:shit, guys.
Speaker:He is
Speaker:a
Speaker:grown ass
Speaker:man.
Speaker:He could
Speaker:fight
Speaker:his own
Speaker:battles.
Speaker:Comedy
Speaker:is
Speaker:not under attack.
Speaker:You.
Speaker:We're
Speaker:all fine.
Speaker:Grow the fuck
Speaker:up.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I, I,
Speaker:did notice a bunch of
Speaker:comedians took a fan slide, like in general, a bunch
Speaker:of
Speaker:like
Speaker:comedians of all
Speaker:genders and race.
Speaker:And, you
Speaker:know, the, the white men
Speaker:definitely
Speaker:stuck out
Speaker:more,
Speaker:well, our ally,
Speaker:all our algorithms,
Speaker:a
Speaker:little
Speaker:different,
Speaker:Yeah,
Speaker:it goes a little different, unfortunately.
Speaker:because
Speaker:um,
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Really just stop saying that I don't hate what God does.
Speaker:And if
Speaker:you
Speaker:guys want
Speaker:to know what John's
Speaker:talking about, listen to,
Speaker:uh,
Speaker:the
Speaker:pineapple
Speaker:pizza podcast episode that came
Speaker:out on April
Speaker:1st.
Speaker:where he portrays lens.
Speaker:Who
Speaker:hates what now?
Speaker:Just
Speaker:get it.
Speaker:The ones on our bus.
Speaker:So to go, just to move on in many of us dream of
Speaker:escaping that nine to five grind, but one might wonder where did the 40 hour week
Speaker:come from?
Speaker:So according to Wikipedia, the eight hour day movement or 40 hour, week
Speaker:movement also known as the short time
Speaker:movement feels like it that's a dig on me, uh, was a social movement to regulate the length of a working day, preventing excesses and abuses.
Speaker:an eight hour Workday has its origins in the 16th century, Spain, but the modern movement dates back to the industrial revolution in Britain where industrial productions in large factories transformed working life.
Speaker:At that time, the working day could range from 10 to 16 hours.
Speaker:Not much has changed for me.
Speaker:Uh, the work week was typically six days a week and the use of child labor was
Speaker:common.
Speaker:The first country that introduced the eight hour Workday bylaw for factory and fortification workers was Spain in 1593 in contemporary
Speaker:era.
Speaker:It was established for all professions by the Soviet union in
Speaker:1917.
Speaker:So the move to the 40 hours was actually popularized back in 1914, were according to NBC
Speaker:news.com.
Speaker:The standard work week was actually six days and pushing to about 48
Speaker:ish hours.
Speaker:But it was that suggested by automotive industry mogul Henry Ford to reduce the work week to 40
Speaker:hours
Speaker:a
Speaker:week
Speaker:because he felt like more time on the factory floor was bad for business
Speaker:and would decrease employee
Speaker:productivity.
Speaker:So Henry Ford
Speaker:kind
Speaker:of
Speaker:You know, what
Speaker:hearing you talk
Speaker:about?
Speaker:This reminds
Speaker:me
Speaker:that shots and
Speaker:thoughts
Speaker:did an
Speaker:episode
Speaker:on
Speaker:labor
Speaker:day.
Speaker:And a lot of
Speaker:this information is
Speaker:kind of crazy.
Speaker:Oh, Look at you retaining some information.
Speaker:like
Speaker:John's like, where do you think I got this?
Speaker:you know what, that probably be it.
Speaker:That's why subconsciously why I thought about it.
Speaker:So this would
Speaker:prompt.
Speaker:than us president Franklin D Roosevelt to pass the fair labor standards
Speaker:act in 1938, which was part of his, new deal
Speaker:at
Speaker:the
Speaker:time.
Speaker:So this new deal, improved working conditions and saw reforms involving establishing a minimum wage and putting an end to quote
Speaker:oppressive forms of child labor.
Speaker:So that was kind of just a super brief information about the 40 hour work week.
Speaker:I told y'all like, I didn't write shit.
Speaker:This is the portion where I kind of wanted to have a little bit discussion.
Speaker:Would
Speaker:you guys, and I kind of wanted to hear your thoughts.
Speaker:we're going to try to make this as, as much as an open discussion as possible, but I do have some set questions that I did
Speaker:want to
Speaker:ask.
Speaker:The first
Speaker:one I wanted to ask you guys,
Speaker:did the pandemic shift your
Speaker:mentality when
Speaker:it
Speaker:comes to work?
Speaker:100%.
Speaker:I
Speaker:had just started
Speaker:my
Speaker:current job,
Speaker:and when
Speaker:the
Speaker:pandemic started, so,
Speaker:immediately
Speaker:like
Speaker:two weeks
Speaker:in,
Speaker:they, we
Speaker:transferred to
Speaker:work
Speaker:from
Speaker:home
Speaker:and I've never
Speaker:been
Speaker:back
Speaker:and
Speaker:it
Speaker:has
Speaker:drastically changed
Speaker:my,
Speaker:my
Speaker:thoughts on the
Speaker:classic
Speaker:office workplace and going
Speaker:in
Speaker:and
Speaker:wasting all your
Speaker:time with
Speaker:the commute
Speaker:and,
Speaker:busy
Speaker:work here
Speaker:and there
Speaker:when, when you're trying to look
Speaker:busy.
Speaker:and
Speaker:it's
Speaker:just,
Speaker:it's
Speaker:so much less stressful to be
Speaker:work from
Speaker:home.
Speaker:Now,
Speaker:that
Speaker:being said,
Speaker:there
Speaker:are downfalls,
Speaker:you know,
Speaker:you
Speaker:don't
Speaker:get
Speaker:quite the, as
Speaker:much
Speaker:social
Speaker:interactions
Speaker:as you'd
Speaker:like
Speaker:from
Speaker:home.
Speaker:but you
Speaker:have more
Speaker:time to
Speaker:do
Speaker:social things
Speaker:with friends and
Speaker:with
Speaker:family and
Speaker:stuff
Speaker:like that.
Speaker:So,
Speaker:it's
Speaker:kind of.
Speaker:uh, it
Speaker:evens out
Speaker:somewhere.
Speaker:yeah,
Speaker:I
Speaker:I'd
Speaker:say
Speaker:in
Speaker:general,
Speaker:I've, I've definitely done a 180 on
Speaker:the
Speaker:whole
Speaker:office culture,
Speaker:Sean.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I mean,
Speaker:likewise, I do
Speaker:not
Speaker:get to work from Um, but I've
Speaker:seen all my friends work
Speaker:remote
Speaker:and it's just
Speaker:been like,
Speaker:Ryan is
Speaker:big on
Speaker:Like always
Speaker:being
Speaker:like
Speaker:conscious of
Speaker:time
Speaker:and things like
Speaker:that.
Speaker:Like,
Speaker:Constantly.
Speaker:Hi,
Speaker:no,
Speaker:wa he likes to
Speaker:watch those
Speaker:videos that are like,
Speaker:say,
Speaker:there's only this many weeks in
Speaker:your life and you've
Speaker:lived
Speaker:this
Speaker:man,
Speaker:you know, those types of videos,
Speaker:like that
Speaker:really
Speaker:Fucks with his brain and
Speaker:Motivates him.
Speaker:to like
Speaker:Yolo and live life, how he
Speaker:wants to
Speaker:live life and shit.
Speaker:and
Speaker:, I would always think about that too.
Speaker:Like,
Speaker:whenever
Speaker:you watch those video tells you how much time you fucking
Speaker:waste, , driving,
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:time you have in
Speaker:your car,
Speaker:or
Speaker:like
Speaker:how much
Speaker:time you
Speaker:spend with your coworkers, as
Speaker:opposed to spending time with your family,
Speaker:like your parents
Speaker:and your,
Speaker:you know, the family that
Speaker:you've made
Speaker:and
Speaker:just
Speaker:shit like that.
Speaker:And it's just
Speaker:like,
Speaker:oh
Speaker:my
Speaker:God,
Speaker:, that's fucking
Speaker:ridiculous.
Speaker:And
Speaker:then COVID happens.
Speaker:And then you're like,
Speaker:wait,
Speaker:we could just fucking
Speaker:take all that
Speaker:shit
Speaker:out and then
Speaker:spend
Speaker:all that, all that
Speaker:time
Speaker:with.
Speaker:the people that we want to
Speaker:spend the time.
Speaker:I mean, yes, you're working at
Speaker:home and
Speaker:doing
Speaker:work,
Speaker:but you're
Speaker:like
Speaker:at least
Speaker:physically in the
Speaker:same
Speaker:realm
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And
Speaker:you'd
Speaker:have
Speaker:lunch together.
Speaker:Take breaks together,
Speaker:go on walks
Speaker:when you're taking those
Speaker:breaks
Speaker:um, during the
Speaker:pandemic
Speaker:at
Speaker:certain points,
Speaker:my
Speaker:girlfriend who does
Speaker:teach,
Speaker:she
Speaker:was teaching
Speaker:from
Speaker:home.
Speaker:And so,
Speaker:as
Speaker:I
Speaker:said,
Speaker:we
Speaker:were both home, you
Speaker:know, we'd have lunch
Speaker:together.
Speaker:It was nice.
Speaker:We
Speaker:go
Speaker:on
Speaker:walks,
Speaker:at
Speaker:certain points
Speaker:during
Speaker:the
Speaker:day when
Speaker:she
Speaker:had time off and
Speaker:it was nice.
Speaker:Like
Speaker:you
Speaker:get
Speaker:to spend
Speaker:real
Speaker:quality
Speaker:time with
Speaker:someone
Speaker:rather
Speaker:than getting
Speaker:home from,
Speaker:uh, a
Speaker:tiring
Speaker:Workday
Speaker:commute,
Speaker:and then
Speaker:just
Speaker:kind
Speaker:of
Speaker:flopping
Speaker:yourself on the
Speaker:couch
Speaker:and watching
Speaker:TV and then going
Speaker:to bed.
Speaker:there was,
Speaker:there
Speaker:was a lot of that extra time
Speaker:where you actually
Speaker:got to
Speaker:spend quality
Speaker:time with,
Speaker:with, friends,
Speaker:family,
Speaker:whoever
Speaker:it was,
Speaker:and
Speaker:kind
Speaker:of
Speaker:enjoy
Speaker:life or.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And you guys bring such a
Speaker:valid point when it comes to remote work.
Speaker:And it's actually a perfect segue to the next question that I had for you guys.
Speaker:So besides, you know, remote work, being considered a norm, and again, sorry, Sean, that you didn't get to
Speaker:experience that.
Speaker:What would you like
Speaker:to see
Speaker:change in either the workplace or
Speaker:kind of like the trend towards how the workplace is going to be like
Speaker:moving
Speaker:forward
Speaker:it
Speaker:just seems like the trend is more and more
Speaker:places
Speaker:are foregoing,
Speaker:buying
Speaker:office
Speaker:buildings that
Speaker:are renting
Speaker:office
Speaker:space and being like,
Speaker:well, if everyone's getting all their shit.
Speaker:Remote.
Speaker:There's no need
Speaker:for this.
Speaker:hopefully that trend
Speaker:continues even
Speaker:after, COVID.
Speaker:I
Speaker:mean, COVID is
Speaker:never ending, but when
Speaker:COVID
Speaker:is less of
Speaker:a
Speaker:a threat,
Speaker:you know what I
Speaker:mean?
Speaker:When
Speaker:it's more
Speaker:flu, like,
Speaker:so hopefully that
Speaker:continues happening.
Speaker:Uh,
Speaker:the remote jobs are plentiful,
Speaker:so,
Speaker:I just hope that trend continues in a
Speaker:kind of be like, yo my
Speaker:God, dude, I'm trying to,
Speaker:I didn't even take it a step
Speaker:further and say,
Speaker:um,
Speaker:I've
Speaker:been
Speaker:a
Speaker:pro four
Speaker:day workweek
Speaker:guy
Speaker:for awhile.
Speaker:I'm
Speaker:oh my guy
Speaker:I, you don't know how many times I pitched that so
Speaker:many
Speaker:times already
Speaker:there,
Speaker:there
Speaker:are
Speaker:some weeks
Speaker:where, where,
Speaker:yeah,
Speaker:five
Speaker:days a week, I
Speaker:might have to
Speaker:work because,
Speaker:because
Speaker:I have
Speaker:stuff
Speaker:to do, but
Speaker:there are,
Speaker:there are
Speaker:some
Speaker:weeks where
Speaker:it's
Speaker:like,
Speaker:okay, I'm
Speaker:doing
Speaker:this
Speaker:because
Speaker:not because I have
Speaker:to,
Speaker:but because
Speaker:I
Speaker:have
Speaker:to find
Speaker:something
Speaker:to
Speaker:do,
Speaker:you
Speaker:know?
Speaker:And
Speaker:so you're, you're making busy
Speaker:work for yourself.
Speaker:Um,
Speaker:now that's
Speaker:like I
Speaker:said,
Speaker:not
Speaker:every
Speaker:week,
Speaker:but
Speaker:there are,
Speaker:there are
Speaker:a
Speaker:lot of jobs where I
Speaker:feel
Speaker:don't
Speaker:require
Speaker:40 hours
Speaker:a
Speaker:week.
Speaker:You
Speaker:could,
Speaker:you could do.
Speaker:Whatever
Speaker:32 or
Speaker:however many,
Speaker:You
Speaker:cut
Speaker:it
Speaker:down to
Speaker:in a
Speaker:four
Speaker:day week.
Speaker:And
Speaker:I
Speaker:don't
Speaker:know
Speaker:about you
Speaker:guys, but
Speaker:three day weeks.
Speaker:And like we
Speaker:just
Speaker:talked
Speaker:about,
Speaker:it's
Speaker:going to be Easter coming up here.
Speaker:those
Speaker:are the best
Speaker:weeks when, when
Speaker:you
Speaker:have
Speaker:a
Speaker:three-day
Speaker:three-day
Speaker:weekend
Speaker:and a four
Speaker:day work
Speaker:week,
Speaker:you
Speaker:have so,
Speaker:so much
Speaker:more
Speaker:time to
Speaker:do
Speaker:stuff you have
Speaker:Saturday
Speaker:to
Speaker:kind of
Speaker:get your shit together,
Speaker:chores,
Speaker:and then
Speaker:you got
Speaker:Sunday to chill.
Speaker:Do, do go,
Speaker:go do
Speaker:something.
Speaker:And
Speaker:then you got
Speaker:Monday off
Speaker:or Friday off,
Speaker:whatever it
Speaker:happens
Speaker:to
Speaker:be.
Speaker:And
Speaker:it's
Speaker:the
Speaker:best.
Speaker:Like,
Speaker:you
Speaker:feel so much more rested
Speaker:going
Speaker:into
Speaker:that,
Speaker:workweek and
Speaker:so much
Speaker:more rejuvenated
Speaker:and ready
Speaker:to
Speaker:tackle
Speaker:any problems
Speaker:that
Speaker:you have
Speaker:rather
Speaker:than,
Speaker:do
Speaker:all your chores Saturday,
Speaker:freak out,
Speaker:cause tomorrow's
Speaker:work week
Speaker:and
Speaker:just
Speaker:never come down
Speaker:from
Speaker:the
Speaker:stress Sunday, scaries.
Speaker:so
Speaker:yeah,
Speaker:a big pro advocate for, uh, for four day work
Speaker:weeks
Speaker:And you know, it's crazy.
Speaker:Cause every time we would have like, three-day weekends that Monday coming back or that Tuesday coming back,
Speaker:those are usually my most
Speaker:productive days.
Speaker:Cause I would just sit down and
Speaker:just be
Speaker:like, okay,
Speaker:there were emails that came over to over Friday or like, you know, Saturday and
Speaker:Sunday
Speaker:I need to be focused and
Speaker:get the shit done.
Speaker:And those days
Speaker:yes,
Speaker:they
Speaker:suck.
Speaker:But
Speaker:I probably be knock all those emails out because I'm like, laser-focused like, oh, this shit just has to be
Speaker:done instead of just a regular
Speaker:week.
Speaker:It's just like, fuck it's Monday again.
Speaker:Uh, I'm pissed
Speaker:off.
Speaker:Let me just kind of like drag the work and then, you know, it extends you're pretty much day wasting
Speaker:around
Speaker:kind of
Speaker:like idling instead of just be like, alright, I only have four days
Speaker:to work
Speaker:with this
Speaker:week.
Speaker:I gotta be focused.
Speaker:yeah,
Speaker:no,
Speaker:a hundred percent.
Speaker:And,
Speaker:when
Speaker:you
Speaker:go into work,
Speaker:that,
Speaker:day,
Speaker:you
Speaker:know,
Speaker:you
Speaker:have work
Speaker:to do,
Speaker:whereas
Speaker:not
Speaker:every
Speaker:Monday going
Speaker:into work.
Speaker:You're like, ah, I don't know.
Speaker:Like I
Speaker:don't really
Speaker:have,
Speaker:like, I
Speaker:don't
Speaker:have
Speaker:meetings yet.
Speaker:Like
Speaker:I
Speaker:don't
Speaker:really
Speaker:have
Speaker:any
Speaker:work built up
Speaker:to
Speaker:do
Speaker:that
Speaker:day
Speaker:until
Speaker:you
Speaker:have
Speaker:your
Speaker:afternoon meeting
Speaker:and you're like,
Speaker:oh, okay, I'll
Speaker:do this now.
Speaker:And then
Speaker:Tuesday's usually
Speaker:your
Speaker:more productive
Speaker:day
Speaker:anyway.
Speaker:Now
Speaker:this
Speaker:is the caveat
Speaker:of
Speaker:office jobs.
Speaker:I guess
Speaker:we should
Speaker:clarify.
Speaker:There
Speaker:are many
Speaker:trades
Speaker:jobs
Speaker:and,
Speaker:and,
Speaker:you
Speaker:know, work
Speaker:with your
Speaker:hand
Speaker:re
Speaker:quote
Speaker:unquote, real jobs.
Speaker:where
Speaker:you're
Speaker:working with
Speaker:your hands,
Speaker:which like my
Speaker:dad does and my brother.
Speaker:and so I guess
Speaker:caveat is a
Speaker:lot of this stuff
Speaker:wouldn't
Speaker:translate,
Speaker:but
Speaker:you could,
Speaker:you could
Speaker:find ways to make
Speaker:those jobs,
Speaker:easier to,
Speaker:I
Speaker:don't,
Speaker:I
Speaker:don't know
Speaker:how,
Speaker:but
Speaker:fucking capitalism.
Speaker:okay.
Speaker:Let me pose this question.
Speaker:So it seems like four day work
Speaker:week is kind of like something that you would want to see implemented someday.
Speaker:Josh.
Speaker:So what initiatives do you think employers can provide to either a retain talent
Speaker:or B keep their talent engaged?
Speaker:Like the people they have?
Speaker:Like how did he keep them engaged
Speaker:being
Speaker:an employee?
Speaker:This is my HR.
Speaker:Just
Speaker:like fucking getting excited
Speaker:talking about this with you guys, by the way.
Speaker:I
Speaker:feel like
Speaker:this
Speaker:is yeah.
Speaker:Company interview
Speaker:after,
Speaker:at
Speaker:like a, like an exit interview or something.
Speaker:Yes,
Speaker:I do those too
Speaker:many times.
Speaker:You?
Speaker:yeah,
Speaker:this
Speaker:is
Speaker:Sean and Maya's last episode.
Speaker:Uh,
Speaker:I mean,
Speaker:the biggest
Speaker:thing is,
Speaker:and
Speaker:the
Speaker:most obvious
Speaker:thing is just fucking
Speaker:pay people.
Speaker:you
Speaker:know, cost
Speaker:of
Speaker:living
Speaker:has
Speaker:shot up, especially
Speaker:recently,
Speaker:inflation
Speaker:is
Speaker:a
Speaker:fucking bitch.
Speaker:And I,
Speaker:I have
Speaker:lots
Speaker:of
Speaker:thoughts
Speaker:on
Speaker:that,
Speaker:but we
Speaker:won't
Speaker:get
Speaker:into that.
Speaker:But
Speaker:anyway,
Speaker:like inflation
Speaker:and, and
Speaker:housing
Speaker:and
Speaker:goddamn,
Speaker:everything
Speaker:is
Speaker:getting so much
Speaker:more expensive,
Speaker:but
Speaker:you
Speaker:know,
Speaker:the
Speaker:salaries
Speaker:are
Speaker:relatively
Speaker:the same
Speaker:and
Speaker:it's
Speaker:like, how are we
Speaker:supposed to
Speaker:survive
Speaker:on
Speaker:this?
Speaker:So
Speaker:the biggest thing is to
Speaker:keep employees
Speaker:is
Speaker:to
Speaker:just
Speaker:fucking pay them
Speaker:what
Speaker:they're
Speaker:worth.
Speaker:yeah,
Speaker:if
Speaker:you do that,
Speaker:you'll
Speaker:keep
Speaker:most
Speaker:of your
Speaker:employees
Speaker:happy.
Speaker:because
Speaker:even
Speaker:if they get annoyed,
Speaker:there'll
Speaker:be
Speaker:like, oh,
Speaker:at
Speaker:least I
Speaker:can
Speaker:go
Speaker:home
Speaker:knowing
Speaker:that I've saved
Speaker:a
Speaker:little bit month,
Speaker:uh, money
Speaker:this week.
Speaker:And, I
Speaker:don't
Speaker:have
Speaker:to worry
Speaker:about food
Speaker:rent,
Speaker:all that kind of
Speaker:shit.
Speaker:Whereas
Speaker:nowadays it's
Speaker:like,
Speaker:I got
Speaker:a hold
Speaker:this
Speaker:paycheck
Speaker:for this long because
Speaker:my
Speaker:rent's
Speaker:due
Speaker:in a
Speaker:couple
Speaker:of weeks and
Speaker:I won't
Speaker:get my
Speaker:next
Speaker:paycheck until
Speaker:after
Speaker:that,
Speaker:you know,
Speaker:it's like, you're
Speaker:doing all this
Speaker:mental
Speaker:gymnastics to try and figure
Speaker:out,
Speaker:bills and shit.
Speaker:Whereas
Speaker:if people
Speaker:just
Speaker:got paid,
Speaker:what
Speaker:they're worth
Speaker:and
Speaker:what
Speaker:inflation
Speaker:has gone up
Speaker:then
Speaker:a, you know,
Speaker:a
Speaker:little less stress
Speaker:on
Speaker:the middle-class middle lower class,
Speaker:people.
Speaker:So
Speaker:that's
Speaker:my biggest answer.
Speaker:I don't,
Speaker:I'm
Speaker:sure there's
Speaker:tons
Speaker:of
Speaker:incentives.
Speaker:People could
Speaker:offer
Speaker:a
Speaker:free healthcare dental.
Speaker:I
Speaker:don't know.
Speaker:I'm
Speaker:not an HR,
Speaker:so
Speaker:this is not my
Speaker:job.
Speaker:I
Speaker:mean, yeah,
Speaker:it's, it's the same thing, you know,
Speaker:kind of ask,
Speaker:oh, why are all
Speaker:these
Speaker:people
Speaker:leaving?
Speaker:Oh, they can get
Speaker:like a
Speaker:15% pay raise
Speaker:if they
Speaker:fucking
Speaker:move.
Speaker:Well,
Speaker:of
Speaker:course they would
Speaker:move.
Speaker:So
Speaker:do all the time.
Speaker:that, I
Speaker:want to say that's what most
Speaker:millennials.
Speaker:do
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:and rightfully,
Speaker:rightfully so.
Speaker:and gen
Speaker:Z, for
Speaker:sure.
Speaker:just, get
Speaker:what you're worth,
Speaker:interview nonstop, get what you're worth.
Speaker:And,
Speaker:uh,
Speaker:all you could do
Speaker:is
Speaker:let
Speaker:them
Speaker:know, Hey, I got offered
Speaker:this much
Speaker:balls in your court.
Speaker:If you think I'm worth that much.
Speaker:I'll
Speaker:stay whatever,
Speaker:you don't
Speaker:owe
Speaker:your company
Speaker:anything
Speaker:more than
Speaker:your
Speaker:40
Speaker:hours a week,
Speaker:like
Speaker:you're not
Speaker:tied
Speaker:to that.
Speaker:if
Speaker:you can
Speaker:find a better
Speaker:working
Speaker:condition,
Speaker:a better
Speaker:pay raise,
Speaker:don't
Speaker:feel
Speaker:obligated to stay
Speaker:where you are
Speaker:and you can
Speaker:absolutely move
Speaker:on.
Speaker:If
Speaker:they're
Speaker:not
Speaker:willing to
Speaker:pay,
Speaker:provide you
Speaker:with
Speaker:what you
Speaker:require
Speaker:or what, what,
Speaker:someone
Speaker:else is
Speaker:willing to pay you.
Speaker:so
Speaker:don't,
Speaker:feel trapped in the
Speaker:corporate world.
Speaker:millennials and
Speaker:gen
Speaker:Zs boomers
Speaker:are mostly.
Speaker:yeah.
Speaker:Let them
Speaker:die.
Speaker:All
Speaker:right.
Speaker:So
Speaker:I didn't say
Speaker:that.
Speaker:Jesus Christ.
Speaker:of the workplace.
Speaker:Damn chill.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:So there's, there's, there's, actually a big
Speaker:reason
Speaker:why I kind of set you guys up for those
Speaker:questions, because the last one I kind of wanted to ask
Speaker:you is going to be a
Speaker:little
Speaker:bit on
Speaker:topic.
Speaker:So let's say the cultivate
Speaker:network or read it on Wiki becomes this global
Speaker:empire.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And we ended up having some employees,
Speaker:what would be the work
Speaker:condition like at our quote,
Speaker:unquote HQ, think benefits,
Speaker:think hours that they got to work, go wild.
Speaker:It's as far as your imagined
Speaker:can take you
Speaker:Oh, man.
Speaker:It depends on what
Speaker:kind
Speaker:of a
Speaker:content we're
Speaker:putting
Speaker:out.
Speaker:Like
Speaker:if
Speaker:we're doing
Speaker:more episodes or whatever,
Speaker:but,
Speaker:yeah.
Speaker:like, like pretend, pretend we're
Speaker:um,
Speaker:we're an entertainment or like a media
Speaker:company, like a
Speaker:full-blown
Speaker:media.
Speaker:right.
Speaker:I'd
Speaker:say
Speaker:make
Speaker:your
Speaker:own hours is a big one.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:as long as
Speaker:you're hitting your objective, I don't care how
Speaker:long you fucking work
Speaker:yeah,
Speaker:we'll set
Speaker:a deadline
Speaker:for a project
Speaker:and
Speaker:if you
Speaker:want to work
Speaker:fucking
Speaker:9:00
Speaker:PM
Speaker:till 5:00
Speaker:AM, because
Speaker:that's
Speaker:when
Speaker:you
Speaker:like
Speaker:to work.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:What a
Speaker:fuck,
Speaker:whatever.
Speaker:as long
Speaker:as it's
Speaker:done.
Speaker:yeah, I think,
Speaker:ours would be a
Speaker:lot more
Speaker:flexible,
Speaker:probably dependent,
Speaker:like,
Speaker:uh,
Speaker:like
Speaker:I said,
Speaker:depending
Speaker:on
Speaker:we might
Speaker:work
Speaker:ourselves a bit more than
Speaker:we
Speaker:work
Speaker:if we
Speaker:had employees,
Speaker:but
Speaker:that's because it's
Speaker:our
Speaker:company,
Speaker:we have, we're
Speaker:a bit more invested
Speaker:in
Speaker:it.
Speaker:You
Speaker:know what
Speaker:I
Speaker:mean?
Speaker:So,
Speaker:Yeah,
Speaker:I'd probably
Speaker:limit myself to 40 hours maximum.
Speaker:and
Speaker:then
Speaker:any
Speaker:other
Speaker:employees,
Speaker:probably four days
Speaker:a week,
Speaker:like
Speaker:I said,
Speaker:depending on
Speaker:what we have, but we have an
Speaker:editor or a
Speaker:researcher
Speaker:or
Speaker:something like that,
Speaker:just, work
Speaker:this
Speaker:amount of hours
Speaker:this week.
Speaker:these
Speaker:are
Speaker:the deadlines
Speaker:for the project.
Speaker:If
Speaker:you
Speaker:get them done,
Speaker:then
Speaker:that's
Speaker:awesome.
Speaker:What about
Speaker:That's
Speaker:my,
Speaker:that's
Speaker:it.
Speaker:That's my
Speaker:only a
Speaker:rules.
Speaker:Hey, that's that sounds like a fucking good
Speaker:ass company
Speaker:to
Speaker:work for.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Honestly,
Speaker:just get your
Speaker:shit done.
Speaker:I
Speaker:mean,
Speaker:we're a fucking, I mean,
Speaker:I'm
Speaker:a
Speaker:fucking
Speaker:podcast us, I
Speaker:don't know.
Speaker:The ins
Speaker:and
Speaker:outs
Speaker:of what it takes to
Speaker:run
Speaker:an entertainment firm.
Speaker:But I
Speaker:mean,
Speaker:I imagine, as long as everybody,
Speaker:you know, research
Speaker:send a new research, so
Speaker:the
Speaker:podcasters can record
Speaker:their
Speaker:podcast on time,
Speaker:social
Speaker:media
Speaker:managers,
Speaker:make
Speaker:sure
Speaker:you're getting your
Speaker:post out whenever
Speaker:you
Speaker:schedule
Speaker:your automated
Speaker:social media
Speaker:scheduler
Speaker:thing, or,
Speaker:you know, just
Speaker:everybody makes sure you're
Speaker:fucking doing the job that you know,
Speaker:you're hired for.
Speaker:We're not asking
Speaker:for anything more.
Speaker:We're not
Speaker:asking to
Speaker:be
Speaker:innovative.
Speaker:probably should be our
Speaker:job as
Speaker:the,
Speaker:as the bosses or
Speaker:whatever.
Speaker:Uh,
Speaker:so
Speaker:yeah,
Speaker:just
Speaker:40
Speaker:hours a week, Who cares?
Speaker:just get your
Speaker:shit down
Speaker:as we
Speaker:can come up to a deadline.
Speaker:If the
Speaker:deadline.
Speaker:is too
Speaker:close,
Speaker:Well, if I can negotiate
Speaker:a
Speaker:way that it works out for
Speaker:everybody.
Speaker:But
Speaker:I
Speaker:mean
Speaker:like there's
Speaker:no
Speaker:busy work will be so
Speaker:unnecessary at
Speaker:any
Speaker:any
Speaker:kind of
Speaker:work
Speaker:hours that don't work for.
Speaker:You
Speaker:will be unnecessary.
Speaker:I don't know.
Speaker:It's
Speaker:just,
Speaker:I would want to treat my
Speaker:employees how I would want to be treated
Speaker:Oh,
Speaker:freedom to
Speaker:do as I
Speaker:please, you know,
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:like,
Speaker:I
Speaker:don't
Speaker:know
Speaker:if this is
Speaker:hypothetical.
Speaker:If we had
Speaker:a studio or
Speaker:something,
Speaker:we'd only
Speaker:require
Speaker:certain people in
Speaker:for
Speaker:like recording and
Speaker:then everyone could
Speaker:do like
Speaker:editing, researching whatever
Speaker:from home.
Speaker:So,
Speaker:it
Speaker:would not be a,
Speaker:you have
Speaker:to come in and do an office
Speaker:kind
Speaker:of thing
Speaker:every
Speaker:day.
Speaker:if anything,
Speaker:the
Speaker:studio could
Speaker:just
Speaker:be
Speaker:an
Speaker:option
Speaker:for the
Speaker:people that want to
Speaker:do
Speaker:that.
Speaker:true, yeah.
Speaker:If you
Speaker:find
Speaker:working
Speaker:in office works
Speaker:better for
Speaker:you,
Speaker:we'll
Speaker:have,
Speaker:we'd
Speaker:have space for that.
Speaker:and
Speaker:then
Speaker:we'd obviously
Speaker:have to
Speaker:go in to
Speaker:record an episode or
Speaker:whatever,
Speaker:and we
Speaker:batch
Speaker:record
Speaker:anyway.
Speaker:So
Speaker:that might
Speaker:even just be one
Speaker:day.
Speaker:Yeah, that's true.
Speaker:Cause my ass would never show up
Speaker:anyways, besides recording
Speaker:time.
Speaker:honestly like,
Speaker:what do
Speaker:you call it, Jake and Amir for, from
Speaker:head gum,
Speaker:you know, when
Speaker:they w when
Speaker:they were before, you know, before COVID,
Speaker:they had
Speaker:like times
Speaker:in
Speaker:their
Speaker:years where they were
Speaker:doing
Speaker:the
Speaker:podcast on like Eastern
Speaker:west
Speaker:coast,
Speaker:before zoom
Speaker:was a thing.
Speaker:So
Speaker:they would fly in batch
Speaker:record for a day
Speaker:just, you know,
Speaker:if we're
Speaker:being honest, that's
Speaker:how
Speaker:we'd
Speaker:have
Speaker:to do it anyway.
Speaker:Cause
Speaker:I'm in
Speaker:Canada,
Speaker:True.
Speaker:probably fly
Speaker:in
Speaker:for
Speaker:a
Speaker:week
Speaker:and
Speaker:we'd figure it
Speaker:out.
Speaker:shit.
Speaker:I wouldn't
Speaker:mind fucking
Speaker:flying into SIM
Speaker:the most central area
Speaker:of fucking
Speaker:Chicago for, uh,
Speaker:a couple of
Speaker:days,
Speaker:every, every two or three
Speaker:weeks.
Speaker:knock it out.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:or Austin,
Speaker:Texas to make you feel more comfortable.
Speaker:Josh.
Speaker:yeah, we'll borrow Joe's
Speaker:studio,
Speaker:you know,
Speaker:Too close to Joe.
Speaker:well, I do appreciate
Speaker:that conversation.
Speaker:So I, the only reason why I really wanted to ask that
Speaker:because I'm not saying that we're getting
Speaker:to Bible or to a point that
Speaker:but think big, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker:Like we never know that could be
Speaker:possible for us.
Speaker:I mean, we.
Speaker:definitely did think we were gonna hit 25,000
Speaker:downloads.
Speaker:And
Speaker:I mean,
Speaker:honestly, we didn't even think we were going to hit, uh,
Speaker:w what the fuck is
Speaker:the
Speaker:math y'all know I'm bad at math,
Speaker:17,000
Speaker:downloads in
Speaker:in
Speaker:a month.
Speaker:I think we're we're
Speaker:probably,
Speaker:yeah.
Speaker:And in one month,
Speaker:it's
Speaker:crazy.
Speaker:ridiculous.
Speaker:That's more than our
Speaker:whole
Speaker:other time that we've
Speaker:existed.
Speaker:I was, I was going
Speaker:to say that's
Speaker:dealt more than double
Speaker:what we had
Speaker:before, if you
Speaker:think about it.
Speaker:Yeah,
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:also true.
Speaker:So it's just, yeah,
Speaker:it's it's, not like
Speaker:we're getting too big for our
Speaker:britches, but it's just like, oh, why
Speaker:not dream big, you
Speaker:exactly.
Speaker:Why not
Speaker:us?
Speaker:if that
Speaker:doesn't
Speaker:work out,
Speaker:we
Speaker:can all become a
Speaker:lawyer
Speaker:wrestler.
Speaker:There you go.
Speaker:We had, uh,
Speaker:it could
Speaker:be a trios
Speaker:trios team right
Speaker:there.
Speaker:That'd
Speaker:be
Speaker:pretty dope.
Speaker:I
Speaker:don't
Speaker:know what
Speaker:our
Speaker:name
Speaker:would be,
Speaker:but we'll figure
Speaker:it out.
Speaker:I like it.
Speaker:I'm just picturing the gear right now,
Speaker:Some
Speaker:assless
Speaker:chaps,
Speaker:fuck.
Speaker:Oh
Speaker:yeah.
Speaker:Luchador, mass.

Speaker:can
Speaker:keep our lawyer
Speaker:jobs during the
Speaker:day.
Speaker:So

Speaker:identity.
Speaker:one can
Speaker:know
Speaker:You going to just look like legato they'll Fantasma.
Speaker:I don't know if you know
Speaker:who they are,

Speaker:know they're on NXT.
Speaker:Do they

Speaker:assless?
Speaker:Chaps?
Speaker:That's
Speaker:they don't, but they just
Speaker:want
Speaker:ass let's stack.
Speaker:to say, cause we're going to, we're probably going to have to wear like some
Speaker:sort of a suit and an assless chaps
Speaker:with masks.
Speaker:That's
Speaker:going to be pretty ridiculous.
Speaker:Interesting.
Speaker:alright.
Speaker:I'll draw some sketches.
Speaker:So before we get into some Reddit stories, we'll be right back on Reddit on Wiki.
Speaker:After a few words from our sponsors.
Speaker:All
Speaker:right.
Speaker:Welcome back, Wiki maniacs.
Speaker:And we are now going to our Reddit
Speaker:section of this episode.
Speaker:So we're going to R slash tales from a job for some crazy work stories.
Speaker:Sean.
Speaker:Alright.
Speaker:what
Speaker:was your craziest work story?
Speaker:Oh,
Speaker:What
Speaker:have, uh, we have,
Speaker:uh, we have a whiteboard,
Speaker:uh, the, it,
Speaker:the
Speaker:whiteboard, uh, you know,
Speaker:fell
Speaker:Oh, no.
Speaker:And
Speaker:it's
Speaker:like a, it's
Speaker:a,
Speaker:large
Speaker:whiteboard.
Speaker:Very
Speaker:big.
Speaker:Oh, that was scary.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:What was your craziest work
Speaker:story?
Speaker:This is from
Speaker:Carle
Speaker:double oh seven one.
Speaker:How
Speaker:a
Speaker:tiny cost
Speaker:saving
Speaker:experiment cost a company
Speaker:over 115,000 pounds
Speaker:of whiskey.
Speaker:I
Speaker:think that's
Speaker:the pound sign
Speaker:again.
Speaker:I'm a dumb ass.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:So this
Speaker:happened a
Speaker:few years
Speaker:ago
Speaker:at a
Speaker:company, which I
Speaker:didn't
Speaker:work
Speaker:at, but I worked
Speaker:next
Speaker:to you.
Speaker:I spoke
Speaker:with the
Speaker:factory
Speaker:staff
Speaker:mostly
Speaker:during
Speaker:coffee
Speaker:breaks
Speaker:in the communal loading bay.
Speaker:The company
Speaker:manufactured
Speaker:various
Speaker:ceramics from plates
Speaker:and mugs
Speaker:to
Speaker:more specialty
Speaker:orders like whiskey
Speaker:bottles
Speaker:and
Speaker:commemorative plaques.
Speaker:They had been
Speaker:in
Speaker:talks with a
Speaker:big
Speaker:whiskey company
Speaker:in Scotland for
Speaker:several
Speaker:months to manufacture 250,000 ceramic
Speaker:whiskey
Speaker:bottles
Speaker:over the
Speaker:next five
Speaker:years.
Speaker:I regularly chatted
Speaker:with these
Speaker:guys
Speaker:from the
Speaker:factory
Speaker:floor.
Speaker:And
Speaker:some
Speaker:of them
Speaker:have
Speaker:been in the ceramic
Speaker:industry
Speaker:since they'd
Speaker:left
Speaker:school and
Speaker:what they didn't
Speaker:know
Speaker:about ceramics wasn't worth.
Speaker:Knowing
Speaker:anyway,
Speaker:after
Speaker:the whiskey company was
Speaker:satisfied that they
Speaker:could handle the volume
Speaker:of over
Speaker:1000 bottles a week
Speaker:and
Speaker:their
Speaker:quality standards, the final hurdle
Speaker:came down to
Speaker:the price.
Speaker:I
Speaker:don't know the
Speaker:exact numbers,
Speaker:but they ended up arguing
Speaker:over a few Pence
Speaker:on
Speaker:each
Speaker:one.
Speaker:I don't know what Pence are.
Speaker:Uh,
Speaker:to like a
Speaker:is that pounds?
Speaker:Uh, I don't know,
Speaker:a cent, maybe a few cents.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:Anyways.
Speaker:Sorry.
Speaker:British
Speaker:comedians.
Speaker:Uh, Dewey shout out.
Speaker:Oh
Speaker:yeah.
Speaker:Bleyl
Speaker:England.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Uh, Awful.
Speaker:Awful.
Speaker:Hated
Speaker:that.
Speaker:I've taken it back.
Speaker:I take it back.
Speaker:Oh,
Speaker:efficient
Speaker:ships.
Speaker:Ah, fuck.
Speaker:Alright,
Speaker:top of the morning.
Speaker:Peaky
Speaker:four cane blind.
Speaker:That's Irish.
Speaker:Scottish.
Speaker:I
Speaker:don't
Speaker:know.
Speaker:That's
Speaker:a,
Speaker:I'm so sorry.
Speaker:I,
Speaker:I tried
Speaker:to
Speaker:back to
Speaker:this Reddit story
Speaker:anxiety.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:Eventually the order
Speaker:came
Speaker:through and
Speaker:the first batch went
Speaker:into production,
Speaker:but
Speaker:the guys on the
Speaker:factory
Speaker:floor, weren't
Speaker:happy.
Speaker:They
Speaker:explained to me
Speaker:that in order to
Speaker:make the slip,
Speaker:the ceramic
Speaker:liquid
Speaker:cheaper,
Speaker:they were told to use less
Speaker:of one
Speaker:expensive
Speaker:ingredient and substitute
Speaker:it with something
Speaker:cheaper.
Speaker:The whiskey
Speaker:company
Speaker:was completely
Speaker:aware of this change
Speaker:as this was all
Speaker:part of the
Speaker:cost saving
Speaker:measure.
Speaker:this mold for the whiskey bottle was
Speaker:thickened to compensate for
Speaker:a
Speaker:slightly
Speaker:weaker ceramic
Speaker:slip.
Speaker:Oh,
Speaker:the first
Speaker:1000 bottles were delivered to the
Speaker:customer successfully
Speaker:and
Speaker:the bottling
Speaker:process
Speaker:began.
Speaker:Meanwhile, the
Speaker:ceramics factory
Speaker:ramped up
Speaker:production
Speaker:to around
Speaker:1200 a week
Speaker:in order to maintain
Speaker:an overstock
Speaker:to ensure they
Speaker:wouldn't
Speaker:incur a
Speaker:penalty, should
Speaker:delivery deadlines be
Speaker:missed due
Speaker:to a potential
Speaker:production or
Speaker:supply issue?
Speaker:It sounds a lot like
Speaker:a day
Speaker:job.
Speaker:Shit's supply chain shit.
Speaker:Anyways, again, the factory
Speaker:staff were not
Speaker:entirely
Speaker:happy
Speaker:with the
Speaker:product
Speaker:quality,
Speaker:but they
Speaker:were very pleased with the
Speaker:practically
Speaker:unlimited
Speaker:overtime.
Speaker:They
Speaker:could
Speaker:pick up
Speaker:about a month passes
Speaker:in.
Speaker:I
Speaker:hear
Speaker:some awful news
Speaker:from
Speaker:one of
Speaker:the factory
Speaker:staff.
Speaker:The
Speaker:whiskey
Speaker:company
Speaker:completed
Speaker:their first bottling
Speaker:operation
Speaker:using the
Speaker:new ceramic bottles.
Speaker:But once they'd
Speaker:been filled
Speaker:up
Speaker:and
Speaker:moved around with a
Speaker:forklift truck,
Speaker:the
Speaker:bottoms were
Speaker:breaking open
Speaker:on
Speaker:practically
Speaker:every single
Speaker:No.
Speaker:Still.
Speaker:This
Speaker:is only
Speaker:discovered after
Speaker:all a thousand
Speaker:had been filled with
Speaker:Oh,
Speaker:that's a
Speaker:but that's a lot of fucking whiskey
Speaker:Holy shit.
Speaker:production of
Speaker:the
Speaker:bottles
Speaker:was
Speaker:immediately stopped
Speaker:so
Speaker:that the cause of the problem could
Speaker:be determined.
Speaker:They even went as
Speaker:far as sending the
Speaker:bottles to
Speaker:be x-rayed to check their
Speaker:structural
Speaker:integrity of eventually
Speaker:I
Speaker:didn't
Speaker:even know you could.
Speaker:X-ray
Speaker:Yeah, you can see
Speaker:through
Speaker:them dumb ass.
Speaker:Jesus.
Speaker:eventually
Speaker:it was
Speaker:discovered that
Speaker:even though
Speaker:the thickness of the
Speaker:ceramic had been
Speaker:increased,
Speaker:this wasn't
Speaker:enough to stop the
Speaker:bottom
Speaker:from
Speaker:falling
Speaker:out after it
Speaker:was filled with
Speaker:whiskey and then
Speaker:moved with a forklift
Speaker:once it was boxed and
Speaker:palletized.
Speaker:So
Speaker:these were
Speaker:expensive
Speaker:bottles
Speaker:of whiskey, which would
Speaker:go on to retail
Speaker:for over a hundred
Speaker:pound, And
Speaker:practically
Speaker:all of
Speaker:the thousand
Speaker:bottles
Speaker:from the
Speaker:first
Speaker:bottling,
Speaker:we're now leaking their precious
Speaker:content
Speaker:across the whiskey
Speaker:warehouse.
Speaker:The
Speaker:following week,
Speaker:two large skips
Speaker:or
Speaker:dumpsters for
Speaker:you,
Speaker:Americans,
Speaker:uh,
Speaker:arrived
Speaker:or
Speaker:Canadians, and
Speaker:north Americans.
Speaker:You know what I mean, arrived at the ceramics
Speaker:factory.
Speaker:And the staff were
Speaker:ordered to smash
Speaker:and
Speaker:dump every
Speaker:single
Speaker:one
Speaker:of the
Speaker:2,500 whiskey
Speaker:bottles,
Speaker:which
Speaker:were still in
Speaker:the
Speaker:factory in
Speaker:various stages
Speaker:of production.
Speaker:Some are unglazed and straight out
Speaker:of the
Speaker:molds
Speaker:and others were completed
Speaker:with
Speaker:glaze
Speaker:artwork
Speaker:and stickers.
Speaker:I
Speaker:went
Speaker:outside
Speaker:purely out
Speaker:of morbid
Speaker:curiosity
Speaker:to
Speaker:see
Speaker:pallet
Speaker:after
Speaker:pallet of
Speaker:empty
Speaker:whiskey bottles
Speaker:being taken
Speaker:outside
Speaker:And each one
Speaker:smashed by hand with
Speaker:a
Speaker:hammer
Speaker:into the.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:I
Speaker:will
Speaker:say this.
Speaker:That would
Speaker:be a satisfying ass job.
Speaker:That would be.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:that's One of
Speaker:those wrecking rooms, but, uh,
Speaker:Just baseball bat.
Speaker:Oh
Speaker:Fuck this.
Speaker:I
Speaker:saw
Speaker:firsthand
Speaker:what had gone wrong
Speaker:with the bottles.
Speaker:the
Speaker:finished
Speaker:bottle
Speaker:looked flawless, but
Speaker:even the gentlest tap
Speaker:with the
Speaker:hammer
Speaker:and the whole
Speaker:bottom just fell out as if it were made out of an egg shell.
Speaker:I know that hitting a ceramic bottle with a hammer
Speaker:sounds like a
Speaker:harsh test,
Speaker:but
Speaker:these
Speaker:were thick,
Speaker:heavy
Speaker:ceramic
Speaker:bottles, which weighed
Speaker:about two
Speaker:pounds when they
Speaker:were empty.
Speaker:And yet the
Speaker:bottom
Speaker:of each one shattered
Speaker:like a
Speaker:thick eggshell.
Speaker:A few days
Speaker:later
Speaker:production on the
Speaker:whiskey
Speaker:bottles
Speaker:started
Speaker:again
Speaker:using the
Speaker:original, slightly more
Speaker:expensive design.
Speaker:I was told
Speaker:that the product
Speaker:liability insurance claim was
Speaker:in the
Speaker:region of
Speaker:115,000.
Speaker:and
Speaker:most
Speaker:of this
Speaker:was
Speaker:paid to the
Speaker:whiskey
Speaker:company for the
Speaker:loss whiskey,
Speaker:but
Speaker:some was
Speaker:being
Speaker:paid to
Speaker:the ceramics company for the
Speaker:raw
Speaker:cost
Speaker:of
Speaker:the
Speaker:lost materials
Speaker:they had
Speaker:had to dump
Speaker:in the skip
Speaker:the
Speaker:lesson
Speaker:here.
Speaker:is
Speaker:to
Speaker:not be clever and to try and
Speaker:save
Speaker:a few
Speaker:pennies on a vessel, which will
Speaker:hold
Speaker:a
Speaker:hundred pounds worth of whiskey.
Speaker:Well,
Speaker:Jesus.
Speaker:Don't Don't skip out on quality.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Don't
Speaker:skip out.
Speaker:on the quality.
Speaker:Otherwise it goes in the skip.
Speaker:wow.
Speaker:How am I
Speaker:not, am
Speaker:I John
Speaker:Ah, Nope.
Speaker:That is a,
Speaker:that is a very whisky business that you are
Speaker:taking.
Speaker:If you do that,
Speaker:buddy,
Speaker:I, don't have a joke.
Speaker:So I'm going to do mine.
Speaker:What
Speaker:was
Speaker:your craziest work story?
Speaker:So this
Speaker:comes from
Speaker:the,
Speaker:subreddit
Speaker:tales
Speaker:from
Speaker:the
Speaker:job
Speaker:posted
Speaker:by
Speaker:foolish pheasant.
Speaker:the
Speaker:title is
Speaker:a
Speaker:lady got
Speaker:mad
Speaker:because I
Speaker:wouldn't
Speaker:allow
Speaker:her
Speaker:to commit
Speaker:fraud.
Speaker:You
Speaker:know, I
Speaker:usually get
Speaker:mad
Speaker:when
Speaker:people
Speaker:don't
Speaker:allow me to do
Speaker:that either, but,
Speaker:That's pretty fucked up.
Speaker:I am a bank
Speaker:teller and usually things
Speaker:go pretty
Speaker:well
Speaker:with customers.
Speaker:I
Speaker:worked a wide array
Speaker:of
Speaker:customer service
Speaker:jobs
Speaker:from Walmarts
Speaker:to
Speaker:movie
Speaker:theaters
Speaker:to sales
Speaker:calls for HSN.
Speaker:Working
Speaker:at
Speaker:a
Speaker:bank
Speaker:is
Speaker:probably the best
Speaker:so far
Speaker:because
Speaker:people are less
Speaker:likely to
Speaker:be jerks to
Speaker:you when
Speaker:it comes to their.
Speaker:Usually this past
Speaker:Saturday, I had
Speaker:a lady write a check from her
Speaker:business
Speaker:account.
Speaker:She
Speaker:wrote the check
Speaker:right
Speaker:in front
Speaker:of
Speaker:me
Speaker:when
Speaker:I
Speaker:took
Speaker:it
Speaker:from her
Speaker:to cash.
Speaker:Then deposit
Speaker:it
Speaker:as she
Speaker:requested.
Speaker:So they'd
Speaker:get
Speaker:the funds right
Speaker:away.
Speaker:I
Speaker:glanced at
Speaker:it
Speaker:and felt my
Speaker:heart
Speaker:sink.
Speaker:She
Speaker:was
Speaker:already back
Speaker:from a
Speaker:previous
Speaker:transaction,
Speaker:which wasn't done
Speaker:the
Speaker:way she wanted.
Speaker:So I knew she
Speaker:was the type
Speaker:that
Speaker:was going
Speaker:to be snotty
Speaker:about
Speaker:any
Speaker:little thing that
Speaker:didn't go her way.
Speaker:The
Speaker:check was made
Speaker:out to her business.
Speaker:Co-owner
Speaker:a
Speaker:guy
Speaker:and
Speaker:she
Speaker:had
Speaker:signed the back
Speaker:in his name
Speaker:when I
Speaker:refuse to
Speaker:take it
Speaker:and
Speaker:gave
Speaker:her
Speaker:another
Speaker:option that would
Speaker:have saved her
Speaker:writing slash
Speaker:wasting
Speaker:another check.
Speaker:She got
Speaker:huffy
Speaker:and
Speaker:said,
Speaker:it
Speaker:had
Speaker:to
Speaker:be
Speaker:written
Speaker:to
Speaker:the
Speaker:guy for the business
Speaker:reason.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:So he
Speaker:has to
Speaker:sign
Speaker:it.
Speaker:Otherwise it's fraud,
Speaker:Even if
Speaker:he
Speaker:approves it,
Speaker:if it's
Speaker:not
Speaker:a signature,
Speaker:he can come back
Speaker:later and say he
Speaker:didn't sign
Speaker:it.
Speaker:And
Speaker:I'm
Speaker:the
Speaker:one on the
Speaker:hook,
Speaker:regardless.
Speaker:It's fraud and I'm not
Speaker:doing it
Speaker:mad.
Speaker:Now the lady
Speaker:threateningly
Speaker:said
Speaker:she could
Speaker:go
Speaker:get him,
Speaker:but he
Speaker:wouldn't
Speaker:be
Speaker:happy.
Speaker:I
Speaker:just
Speaker:gave
Speaker:her
Speaker:my best
Speaker:customer service smile
Speaker:and said,
Speaker:okay.
Speaker:And
Speaker:turned
Speaker:around To go back to my
Speaker:station
Speaker:until
Speaker:I
Speaker:could actually help her.
Speaker:The
Speaker:funny thing is
Speaker:the guide

Speaker:Oh,
Speaker:I'm
Speaker:surprised
Speaker:you didn't make

Speaker:I wanted to read it because
Speaker:Are you just going to stare at me the whole time?
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:So
Speaker:I used to
Speaker:work at my local zoo at the front.
Speaker:Just mainly checking
Speaker:people in answering phones, filling out spreadsheets.
Speaker:It was a very simple job with good
Speaker:pay.
Speaker:On one slow day, we had a number of people calling in
Speaker:for some reason, normal questions were about prices, hours, and location.
Speaker:Can I speak to Mr.
Speaker:Monkey prank
Speaker:calls.
Speaker:The next call
Speaker:I got
Speaker:very Interesting.
Speaker:It was a woman who was
Speaker:calling to ask for
Speaker:prices.
Speaker:I go through my normal script
Speaker:of
Speaker:prices per age.
Speaker:She then asked me word for word, word for word quote.
Speaker:Is there any discount for a white
Speaker:adult?
Speaker:No,
Speaker:never.
Speaker:Well,
Speaker:I shouldn't
Speaker:say
Speaker:never
Speaker:actually.
Speaker:Definitely there has
Speaker:been
Speaker:Uh, yeah, actually,
Speaker:if
Speaker:you
Speaker:go
Speaker:back

Speaker:years, they probably was,
Speaker:Louisiana purchase
Speaker:was one of them.

Speaker:Unfortunately
Speaker:racism,

Speaker:long ago,
Speaker:maybe like 70
Speaker:years,
Speaker:honestly,
Speaker:how old is this lady?
Speaker:She
Speaker:might've lived through it.

Speaker:to be

Speaker:way.
Speaker:Ma'am only white children.

Speaker:Toddler Thursday
Speaker:Yeah.

Speaker:like this.
Speaker:I just ended up telling her
Speaker:as professionally as I can.
