As a doctor, you would not tell your patient they have cancer Welcome to nervous laughter podcast.
Unknown Speaker 0:26
Welcome everybody. Fat heads
Unknown Speaker 0:34
Yeah. And yep. So if you're not familiar with anything we've talked about in these first few seconds this is going to be an office themed episode. As some of you know, listen, I are pretty big fans of the office.
Unknown Speaker 0:53
So apparently you're a bigger fan, because when we played that trivia game, I felt like I didn't know anything
Unknown Speaker 1:01
I just contain useless information for some reason. So yeah, this, but wine that I said at the very beginning, it was from the pilot of the office, which we watched just moments ago. And I gotta say, the first episode has like, a lot more stuff like, jam packed into it thann I remembered.
Unknown Speaker 1:26
Yeah, I feel like it has. I mean, not every character but a good chunk of them.
Unknown Speaker 1:31
Yeah, yeah. And even like, Packard, Packard...packet Packard. Packard was on the phone for a little bit. And I didn't realize too, so like this was like one of the first like, kind of moments in the episode. But Michael Scott's on the phone. And he goes, Thanks, George gentleman and a scholar. And then it's like, oh, sorry. Sorry. I was talking to a woman. But I didn't know that's where the I had no idea. That was like in the pilot episode.
Unknown Speaker 2:05
Yeah, I didn't remember that either. Remember, he's like, a deep voice most of in a smoker.
Unknown Speaker 2:16
Another thing that happens early on in this episode that I love is when Michael goes to the reception desk, and he's like, Pam, Pam. Pam. Like those hands on?
Unknown Speaker 2:29
Yeah, you can tell in the first episode that Pam really does not like her job. Except for Jim. Yeah. Yeah. It's like the only good part of her job.
Unknown Speaker 2:40
Yeah, was Sam's cramps. I'd go like Sam, Sam saying.
Unknown Speaker 2:47
Oh, and I did look it up. And so in case you don't know, the office was based on a British show. And so I found this thing online that says the office in the US had only one episode similar to the British counterpart. And it was the pilot. So I tried to watch the British office like, a long time ago, like 10 years ago, probably and I wasn't really that into it. But I kind of want to revisit it now. But
Unknown Speaker 3:21
yeah, I haven't seen it yet, either.
Unknown Speaker 3:25
So the pilots of both of them are the same, but the British office didn't really take off and it only had two seasons was six episodes. So they the US one branched off and did their own thing and way more popular.
Unknown Speaker 3:41
Yeah, yeah. And, um, why can't I think of the main actors name?
Unknown Speaker 3:48
Mike. Michael Scott. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 3:51
Steve Crowe. Okay, yeah. Um, I think we learned this on a trivia game when we were playing but uh, he does not watch the original office at all because he didn't want to get like any kind of influence from like, what the original was I wanted to bring his kind of like own character to it. So I thought that was kind of cool.
Unknown Speaker 4:17
Oh, so in the pilot, you're it's the first time that you see his world's best boss mug. Oh, yeah. What she says he found it spins her gifts and bought for himself.
Unknown Speaker 4:29
The perfect if the buyers Oh, yeah. And then they Michael walks up to Jim and Dwight's desk and you just like was that? Twice?
Unknown Speaker 4:46
Which I think we, we said it was a Budweiser commercial. Right. It was wiser. Which based off
Unknown Speaker 4:53
yeah, if you don't remember, or we're not alive. Back in the day, though, was that thing was the thing for a while. And I think I remember it in one of the scary movies. Yeah. They call it go. Yeah, they have like um, what's up? What's also another series of movies I need to rewatch Yeah. I'm
Unknown Speaker 5:23
just gonna say we see Jan for the first time in the episode in this episode. And if you've never seen the office, you're probably like, what? So I guess I'll explain like, who she is. She's a, I guess like, she's Michael's boss, but I don't know exactly what she is in the company. Ah,
Unknown Speaker 5:42
yeah, I don't know exactly what she is in the company either. But she's like at the corporate op corporate office, so she's like a higher level boss, boss Bay.
Unknown Speaker 5:50
And we find out later that her and Miko are having like a secret little love affair and I think she knows Michael is so fucking stupid. She's like trying to hide it. We see her in the first episode, and Michael says about her. I call her Hillary Rodham Clinton. Not to her face though. I'm not scared of her though. And he definitely is probably scared of her. Oh,
Unknown Speaker 6:19
yeah, definitely. Um, yeah. And another thing with Jan, so basically, throughout the series, you so the series kind of starts out like she's wrapping up a divorce, then he starts to have this relationship with Michael. Um, but yeah, you just you just see her kind of like slowly did to like her mental health just go down. And like, I think I remember one part. I don't know what season it's in. But she talks about like a birth therapist, saying that it's like, not healthy or whatever. But she's like, I don't care and goes forward anyway.
Unknown Speaker 7:03
One of my favorite Jan moments. Well, I guess it's a Michael moment. But um, I guess Michael got a vasectomy, and then got his vasectomy. reversed because Jen wanted a baby. And then like, got another one. And then, like how many times it happened, but I saw this tic toc. And somebody was like, my partner wanted me to get a vasectomy and then get it reversed. And they're like talking I was serious about it. And then I'm like, oh, that's from office. Man, what a shitty person. Jan is a shitty person.
Unknown Speaker 7:41
Do you know how big of a toll free the secretaries can have on? I think one of my favorite Jan moments was um, it's in like a waiter later season. But they go to the off like a office that she's working at. And then her her daughter asked her Astrid Astrid comes in and she's like, she just starts like singing and she's like, Well, what did you do you learn your shapes? And then little kids just like my shapes? Oh, no, just
Unknown Speaker 8:26
she's spoken on hinge. Yeah, like she's.
Unknown Speaker 8:30
Oh, and of course, I feel like we can't talk about her without talking about Hunter. Yes. Me, man. Um, yeah. So Hunter was her assistants under each
Unknown Speaker 8:48
assistant. Yes, not really made clear. I don't think.
Unknown Speaker 8:54
Yeah, but they do make it kind of clear that like she. She is having sexual relations with this young gentleman.
Unknown Speaker 9:03
And he wrote and recorded a song about it. Yes.
Unknown Speaker 9:06
And she listens to it. And she really feels it when she was awkwardly dances. Oh, and so you don't have at the beginning of COVID like everyone was doing those, like if you just sing the song while you wash your hands, or whatever. Um, that song works for it is awesome. I just like put it together. I didn't even like time it or whatever. And then I put it on Reddit. And then someone a few people came across it and someone was like, I didn't think that the timing worked out. But like I timed it, and I did it and it works perfect. I was like, Yeah, that's awesome. Someone confirmed it for me. But um, but yeah, so that song works for washing your hands.
Unknown Speaker 9:49
So when Jan comes to visit, she says that the Scranton branch is going to be closing or the Stanford branch and Scranton is the one where all our main characters work. So they have to prove that they're worth keeping to keep their branch from being closed. And Michael is just fucking cringe in this scene. He's like me know what that Jan agenda and she's just like, I'm gonna kill myself.
Unknown Speaker 10:25
Well like a little thing to add to that meeting. Yeah, so Michael was like, she was like it's on the agenda I sent you this morning and he's like, Yeah, I didn't get an agenda. And then he's like, Pam, why did I not get this? And then, um, he's just kind of talking shit a little bit that just like, oh, well, you know, our office can't run if it's blah, blah, blah. And then Pam just like, it's in the special filing cabinet that you told me all paperwork from corporate goes which was a waste bin, or trash Tanner. And yeah.
Unknown Speaker 10:59
And then we get a call from Michael's fuckin stupid friend Todd. Todd Packard, that I don't know which branch he works at, but I guess he used to work there in Scranton.
Unknown Speaker 11:10
Yeah, I think he's traveling. Okay, like that. I can't remember the guys name. But like that hot guy that like comes in like way later. It's super brief. But like he dated Pam for a little bit. Not in the show. But oh, but in there. She was like, Why did you? Why did you like never call me back after that date? And Linna he was like, it's because you're a really big dork.
Unknown Speaker 11:36
Yeah, remember that? That guy. But Todd like, he's the if you've ever seen half baked, he's the guy. Isn't he? The guy that feeds the horse. The police horse all that food? Half Baked. I know he's and you've got to watch it. It's it's really good.
Unknown Speaker 11:57
He's an anchor, man. Oh, yeah. Yes. He's a sports guy and Anchorman.
Unknown Speaker 12:03
Yep. Right. But Todd calls and for some reason Michael puts him on speakerphone, even though he's just like a total asshole. And it's just, like always talking about like, fucking chicks and just like random shit. And he's like, Hey, is Hillary there yet? And Michael's like, Oh, God. He's like, just like carpet match the drapes. Michael hangs up. They just saw sitting there. Like, what the fuck? Well, then. Um Oh, and then that's when we have your cancer quote.
Unknown Speaker 12:43
Yeah, yeah, they do a floating head thing. And he's, that's where he says, As a doctor, you would not tell your patient to have cancer? Because, you know, he's trying to not let people know that the branches kind of possibly kind of close. Um, and then. Oh, yeah. And then Ryan also comes in. And most like he got the dandy for that. Right. Um, and then they like high five or whatever. And paint. I can't remember exactly where they were doing. They like high five or something. And then Pam just like walks up and he's like, Oh, Pam, it's a guy thing. It's doing like me. And then Michael does a Hitler impression. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 13:35
Like go I totally forgot about that. He's, and I think he said something like, you know, like, Adolf Hitler.
Unknown Speaker 13:49
It's like like, it's a menial celebrity. And I also wrote down. Oh, so they're also kind of like interviewing some some of each of the people about like, downsizing. Um, Jim mentioned something about it. And that's how Dwight found out and then in his floating head, he talks about how much he loves downsizing and how much he's talked about it and that he's even talked about it in his interview. Which is just great. So it's like, why should we even hire
Unknown Speaker 14:30
you? Back into why it's so embarrassing that I think it's hard sometimes. Understand? I don't like
Unknown Speaker 14:39
I think I can objectively see that he is attractive, but I don't think I find him attractive.
Unknown Speaker 14:47
Makes sense. I don't know why I do. I don't like it.
Unknown Speaker 14:54
From like, I can't think of words from outer outside. perspective. No, I'm not outside. I am part of people. I don't know the word I'm trying to think of, but I keep unbiased Lee. But just like on paper, I can see that. You know, he's an attractive person. I didn't realize that he's in house 1000 corpses.
Unknown Speaker 15:22
Oh, yeah, he plays like the little fish tails guy, right or the mermaid thing?
Unknown Speaker 15:28
Does he wind up? I stopped paying attention for like halfway through towards the end. So maybe he wind up like that.
Unknown Speaker 15:36
Yeah. Thanks. So let me look it up real quick.
Unknown Speaker 15:39
But yeah, I was really surprised because it was him and. Ooh, Chris something. Chris Hardwick. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 15:53
Insert into the fish guy.
Unknown Speaker 15:58
Let me see or can I see?
Unknown Speaker 16:03
And then Rainn Wilson.
Unknown Speaker 16:06
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, now show me I'm like, Oh, yeah.
Unknown Speaker 16:09
Green Wilson also played a mortuary student in six feet under. If you've ever seen that. Is that why you like him? That's the first thing I think I ever saw him in. In his name was Arthur. And he had an affair. Well, not really an affair, but he had like a little love thing with like a lady twice his age. And the show Wow.
Unknown Speaker 16:36
Reminds me a little bit of the the the movie that Pam, Jim and Andy watch in the break room. And it has like Jack Black in the book. He has like a love interest in the ladies. Because of the little chair on the stairs.
Unknown Speaker 17:00
I totally forgot.
Unknown Speaker 17:02
Yeah, so good. Um, I think I know that this is a little bit off topic, but just talking about, um, people that you don't like that you find attractive. Um, a person for for me of that is the guy that played in Willard Christopher Glover. I think his name is. I'll hum
Unknown Speaker 17:32
the office song while Jamie looks. Damn. Dirty 3d reading it was more than a little judgy. Sorry.
Unknown Speaker 17:52
No, it's okay. Um, but more so in the movie, Willard. I guess like I liked that movie. A lot growing
Unknown Speaker 17:59
up. I've never seen it looked like they're kind of like, I can see it more in the younger years, I guess.
Unknown Speaker 18:10
I mean, I guess like, I mean, I guess he's not like a bad boy in the movie or whatever. But like, I don't know. He. I've pardon me wanting to say like, he has a little bit of a Christian Slater thing going on? It's just like his eyes are too open. I don't know. Like. Yeah, like, I watched others for the first time. I was like, oh, that's Christian Slater.
Unknown Speaker 18:41
Do I need to watch that again? I don't think I've seen it since high school. Um Oh, I noticed in the background of the first episode that they have a homer simpson doll, just like propped up on a file cabinet. Yeah. And they have one of those weird pictures hanging up that's like an elephant. And you're like, how many legs? Does it have? Oh, three or four? Yeah. They have a hanging up.
Unknown Speaker 19:15
Um, I don't know if this is showed in the episode. But I remember one time I was trying to see like all the stuff that Michael had on his office wall. And he has this like certificate thing. It looks like it almost looks like a degree, but it's just like a certificate of ownership for some kind of watch. And it's not even like that nice of a watch or anything.
Unknown Speaker 19:39
That's awesome. Yeah, I think my favorite thing that he has on his desk he has like a little hamster figurine. Yeah, yeah, like
Unknown Speaker 19:48
a few of them. The Karate one.
Unknown Speaker 19:51
Yeah, they're just those hamsters that I think talk that you could buy it like Walgreens or something.
Unknown Speaker 19:57
I think they would play music and Dance if I'm not mistaken, because I always used to play with those go to the store and the karate one would sing. Everybody was kung fu which seems perfect for Michael Scott. It does does see? Oh, and then he does Michael does the Million Dollar Man impression or million? I've never seen it either, but then he goes through runaway he's just go in slow motion and he's like
Unknown Speaker 20:34
and it goes on for what feels like five minutes.
Unknown Speaker 20:39
Which is your favorite kind of Joe? Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 20:41
that's true. Yes. Michael. Definitely does those kind of jokes.
Unknown Speaker 20:46
I always catch myself going just like, like around the house. So like not doing stuff first trying to play with the kids.
Unknown Speaker 20:52
Miko has a good quote. He's talking about how here's heroes of his are Abraham Lincoln.
Unknown Speaker 21:06
Fano Wait, Abraham Lincoln's just really funny.
Unknown Speaker 21:13
Okay, it's heroes of mine are Bob Hope, Abraham Lincoln and Bano? Probably God would be the fourth one.
Unknown Speaker 21:24
And that guy, just awesome.
Unknown Speaker 21:26
And I fucking hate you too. Like, did you have a phone or computer in that timeframe where they put that YouTube song like on everybody's phone? Do you know what I'm talking about? No, it was fucking awful. Like, if you opened iTunes or whatever program, they just like pre loaded this YouTube song. And so if you're trying to play something, it would just like auto play. It was fucking awful.
Unknown Speaker 21:51
That was an apple thing.
Unknown Speaker 21:52
I don't remember if it was Apple or like Windows Media Player and like, I don't really remember but
Unknown Speaker 21:58
because I remember the ones that would come on Windows. Like it was just like music from bands you hadn't heard before and it was just really shitty. Sucks. Oh, no more like Boehner.
Unknown Speaker 22:18
The bad type of Boehner
Unknown Speaker 22:21
when you took viagra when you weren't supposed to.
Unknown Speaker 22:25
Like Rob we figured out in this episode that Jim and Pam are especially close. Like he knows her favorite type of yogurt, which I definitely don't know. carboy Number three's favorite type of yogurt at all. I don't even know if he really likes yogurt. Almost say carboy number ones is strawberry. I guess I'll take a guess. Yeah, I would probably say strawberry or blueberry but one of the bear port back. Pam's was mixed berry in case you're wondering. Yes. And we see Roy who was Pam's fiance? He works in the warehouse of the office and he's a total fuckin do Sure. Like yeah, I don't know really how to describe him.
Unknown Speaker 23:24
Um, I think the best way to describe him is with like to describe one of the scenes not from this episode, but from a way later episode. Well, actually, I think it's in the first season. There's a woman that comes to the office selling purses, and like Michael really likes her. So he's like, sets her up with the conference room and stuff to sell her person. And then everyone's talking about her like in the office, kind of because all the guys think she's cute. And Roy, Pam and Jim are sitting at the lunch table. And Roy's like, yeah, if I wasn't dating Pam, I totally be all over that. And she was like, wearing gauged and he was like, oh, yeah, sorry. And then she just got up and left. And like, hey, so that's how I would describe Roy.
Unknown Speaker 24:14
Yeah, he's, he's a fuckin asshole. And he's controlling like, in the first episode, Jim is like, Hey, everybody, like everybody's gonna go get drinks. Do y'all want to come and Roy's like, we're going home like doesn't even fucking ask. Pam like what she's saying?
Unknown Speaker 24:30
Yeah, cuz, well, yeah, cuz first Jim's like, tells her about it. And she doesn't even like invite Roy. She's just like, hey, here if I go out for some drinks, and he's like, now let's go home. I was like, but
Unknown Speaker 24:43
Yeah, fucking sucks.
Unknown Speaker 24:45
Um, and another part I like with Pam from this first episode was Michael was talking to her about something versus just kind of like joking about like, not getting paid enough or whatever. And then she He was just like, Oh, don't we all and then Michael just gets like really serious and like a little upset. And he's like, Pam, if you're unhappy about your compensation, you need to take it up with HR and just wait.
Unknown Speaker 25:13
Which is funny. We're talking about it when are watching it like Michael hates HR? Like, Toby is the HR director, and that's like his worst enemy. For really no reason. Like, I don't think they ever say why Michael hates Toby doing.
Unknown Speaker 25:28
Um, I don't think they ever say why. I think it's like, just because he's an HR.
Unknown Speaker 25:34
He's always you know, I think Michaels fun
Unknown Speaker 25:38
yeah, he's always during Michael's fun, because like, I think that that's sort of what was going on when Holly first came, cuz I remember he was like, wanted to make everything like miserable for her. Um, but also when Jim becomes manager and has to start dealing with HR more. He's just like, Oh, they're talking about the birthdays. And he's like, and Toby's like, well, can Can I just do this for my birthday or whatever. And then Jim's just like, God, Toby. It's not like, it's not about you, or whatever he's like, now I can see why Michael gets annoyed with him or whatever. So it's just funny, because it's just like, yeah, whoever is in that role gets frustrated with whoever's in that role. It's really funny.
Unknown Speaker 26:25
One of the things I wrote is Dwight is a car boy. Because there's a point in this episode where I remember who he's talking to you but he's just talking about his car that he has. And it's like, saying all these stats about it. I was like, oh, boy,
Unknown Speaker 26:39
you can catch that. But he does have that fire. Bird. Bird. Yeah. And before he goes on a sales calls Hila Turn the music up loud. Came out.
Unknown Speaker 26:55
Oh, and this is the episode where we first actually I guess it only happens this time, but Jim puts Dwight stapler in jello. Classic. Yeah, classic move. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 27:08
And then yeah, him. Jim and Mike Nolan Ryan, all just like, make puns about it and stuff.
Unknown Speaker 27:18
My sister had an office themed birthday party maybe like five or six years ago. And one of her friends like, did a stapler in jello. It was so gross. I mean, it wasn't really suspended. It kind of like sunk to the bottom and like fell apart everywhere. And oh,
Unknown Speaker 27:36
it's kind of gross. Yeah, it seems like it'd be kind of hard to do. Like I think you'd have to do it. Do like a layer of it. And then down Yeah. I don't know how you would get it like tilted though. That seems hard. I guess you just tilt the bowl while it firms
Unknown Speaker 27:53
and maybe I should make one. Instagram. Yeah, let's do it. While you're on vacation, that's what I'll be doing. Making a jello stapler. If
Unknown Speaker 28:03
it's not done. By the time I get back. You're fired?
Unknown Speaker 28:05
Fired? Sure.
Unknown Speaker 28:09
Um, let's see what Oh, yeah. And so like, he's kind of so Dwight's kind of upset that Jim's not getting in trouble. And so he's like, Yeah, I just want you to, you know, discipline him. And then Michael's just like, oh, disappointing. Kinky.
Unknown Speaker 28:32
Oh, and, you know, so they show accounting. I don't think we see Oscar. No, they think about it. But they do briefly show Angela and Kevin.
Unknown Speaker 28:45
Oh, see, I thought it was the opposite. I thought we didn't see Kevin just I think I remember seeing Oscar Okay, so we
Unknown Speaker 28:50
do see Oscar but I remember Kevin because Angela's she like points of something on our mouth. Kevin's like eating something. And yeah, you're wiping what she pointed out. So that's how we're introduced
Unknown Speaker 29:02
to those characters. Yeah, and then there's a bunch of random characters that we never see again. Just their fillers. Yeah. Which I don't think that ever happens again. Does it? It's always like the core people that are on the show. Ah, yeah, yeah, I
Unknown Speaker 29:19
think you're right. Um Yes, I just kept thinking of like Devin but Devin was kind of a weird case. Um, oh, and a another great quote. Michael says in this episode. He says I am a friend first boss second. Probably entertainers.
Unknown Speaker 29:46
I read that down to
Unknown Speaker 29:49
muscles. He's like talking to Ryan more trying to get him like integrated into the office.
Unknown Speaker 29:55
I'm surprised he didn't do friend entertainer boss. Yeah, yeah. I mean, he's like, how did he even get the position? Like, just maybe because he's been there for so long?
Unknown Speaker 30:11
Yeah, that's kind of how I feel about a lot of people that have worked above me.
Unknown Speaker 30:14
True. Yeah. They're like, I don't know how to do actual work. So we'll make him a manager. Yeah. Or I don't know how
Unknown Speaker 30:21
to treat people correctly. Oh, and speaking of treating people correctly, I think just after he says that, to Ryan, Pam walks in, and then he fakes fire up big fires.
Unknown Speaker 30:35
That's so awful. And he's like, Hey, Ryan, watch this. And then like, says all this awful stuff about how she's fired and she starts crying. And then Michael tells her like, Oh, I'm just kidding. And he's like, Yeah, Ryan was in on it too. And Ryan's like, What the fuck?
Unknown Speaker 30:51
And then Pam's crying. She's like, You're a jerk and leaves. Um,
Unknown Speaker 30:57
look at these wasps, like, hitting the window and trying to eat us, dude.
Unknown Speaker 31:03
They kept like, one of them kept Slynt slam into my window the other day, like, was working. And I was like, holy shit. Like, you could hear it like fun thought the
Unknown Speaker 31:12
devil animals, insects, whatever. This is off topic. But I listened to this podcast called our slash. And I fucking love it. He puts out a new episode every day. And it's him reading Reddit stories. And he has one that's, it's like our slash Kevin. Or like, check out this Kevin. And it's, I guess it's like Kevin from the office, because it's just people that are like, dipshits. And there's this one. I heard today where this Kevin's think that vegetables are meat. Because he's like, Well, they were alive at one point. They're Meat.
Unknown Speaker 31:49
Meat. What one? Yeah, since it doesn't make sense. With Terrence Williams or whatever his name is. One times one is two. Yeah, that reminds me of when Kevin was like trying to eat broccoli. He didn't know like, how to eat. Um, oh, yeah. And so since Michael thinks he's like, the best person ever. He goes on to, like, Give an example because he's like, it doesn't matter how much money a business makes or anything like that. It's about the people. And then he's like, uh, there was a sky that worked for me. And he was like, will you be the godfather of my child? And then he goes on and he's like, and he was like, Yes, I will. And then it didn't work out. We had to let them go. He saw
Unknown Speaker 32:46
and he's doing it and like the Spanish accent like, yeah.
Unknown Speaker 32:55
So yeah, he's doing an accent for this person, too. Um, and then, um, the episode ends with more jello worlds. Yeah, Jim puts Michaels word world's best boss mug into a thing of jello.
Unknown Speaker 33:14
Hell yeah. Maybe I should do that instead of a stapler? Probably. Cool. Yeah, this makes me want to rewatch the series. Like I was telling Jamie when we were playing the trivia game couple weeks ago or last week? I feel like I always watched like the first half and the second half or maybe second couple seasons. I feel like I only watched ones because I was like, these kind of suck. Yeah, they're not as good at all.
Unknown Speaker 33:41
Yeah, I'm not that much into like them the later episodes. They're just kind of some some of the things they do just kind of annoys me. Yeah. But um, I do like it for what it is. And yeah, like I totally forgot like, so many like good. favorite moments are in low pilot. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 34:08
definitely. Well, we're kind of doing a shorter episode this week was we're pre recording because Jamie's gonna go
Unknown Speaker 34:16
on vacations Good.
Unknown Speaker 34:19
Have you made your planes going down playlist yet?
Unknown Speaker 34:23
Ah, no, I'm behind. I will make sure to get them before the plane flight because I really do. But I wonder maybe my play this the feminine coma playlist will also suffice thosaigh Hmm. Plane crash playlist. So yeah, maybe I'll do that.
Unknown Speaker 34:50
You could add the final countdown to it. The fun Get me off this plane.
Unknown Speaker 35:05
Yeah, I can't. Yeah, I'm not super looking forward to it. But we got a a one way or not a one way. Like no stop. Oh yeah, no flight so. So yeah, I'm happy about that but now I'm kinda like it was the plane needs fuel. But I know they have other planes like calm and fuel plane like I know I know things logically but my brain doesn't follow the
Unknown Speaker 35:36
route up the plane. Oh another thing about airports I just always feel like someone's put heroin in my bag when I'm not looking at heroin specifically, but just drugs. I always feel like somehow there's going to be contraband in my bag. And then when it goes through security, I'm going to get fucking I don't know. And I was talking about this with one of my co workers. Well, my friend Tina, that listens. We were talking about that. Like, while we're at work, and this donor overheard and was like, What the fuck are y'all talking about? Like, I've literally never thought of that before. How have you not? Well, yeah, but if you're looking away, and somebody's like, oh, shit, drugs. dogs come in. I got to like, put my stash in this lady's bag. Yeah, it could be to hide
Unknown Speaker 36:28
it. Yeah, no, I Yeah. Don't trust people in airports.
Unknown Speaker 36:33
know, whenever we were flying back from Colorado. They had a fucking drug dog like walking the line before you went through security. Like that's so scary. Just
Unknown Speaker 36:45
always makes me nervous. Like, I have no reason to get into trouble. I'm just like, yeah, I get in trouble. I'm somehow gonna have like cocaine on my hands.
Unknown Speaker 36:57
You know, it's weird. I think this has happened twice with carboy. Number three. They'll ask to like swab his hands for bomb residue and shit. That's happened twice. Whoa. Like it almost makes me think that maybe some kind of car stuff that he works with maybe like, sets it off or something?
Unknown Speaker 37:18
Oh, do they? Is it from like that initial like wipe test that they do? Like there's one airport I went to and they swapped like everybody's hand. But since then, I've never had my hand swapped again.
Unknown Speaker 37:30
I don't remember what exactly happened. But he's been like, randomly selected. And there's like something weird with his hands.
Unknown Speaker 37:39
Oh, yeah. Yeah, I wonder. Yeah, I wonder if there might be some like car stuff.
Unknown Speaker 37:46
I guess I was so terrified. I just don't remember the details.
Unknown Speaker 37:51
Yeah, I remember one time. So like, at this point, I hadn't been to like too many. I haven't been on like too many flights and stuff. And I was traveling with my boss and my other co worker. And yeah, we're just, I guess, kind of a weird bunch going out. But I was just kind of like, following their lead, because I didn't really know what to do in an airport. And so, I mean, neither did he. So we were like going through the TSA line where you have like each little stop that you have to do. And so like, he was in front of me, so you just stand in there with his pockets. And then the I don't know exactly how it went down. But, uh, I guess he just got really upset because the lady didn't clearly communicate what she needed him to do. There wasn't a sign that said, like, when you get here, show me your palms. Wipe it. She was just like, why isn't your handout? And then yeah, he just like, yelled at her. He was like, you have to tell me what you want me to do. And then I also forgot to put my tip forgot to take my laptop out of my bag. And we had to like wait on that. And I was like, I'm sorry. I'm dumb. I don't know what to do.
Unknown Speaker 39:06
I got TSA PreCheck. So next time we fly, I won't have to do that. She's Yeah. carboy number three had it for some reason. Oh, I guess was when he worked at the dealership. He had to go do trainings a lot. So we got the precheck cool. So sometimes when we would fly together, they would just apply it to me since he had it. But last time they didn't and I had to wait like 30 minute long line and he just went through by baby.
Unknown Speaker 39:35
And I don't think I have any other like crazy airport stuff because I just I don't fly super often. One of the first times I flew so I get super fucking scared on airplanes. Like my anxiety goes crazy and I was funny. It was me my sister flying. And then the stewardess was like coming up the aisle to like to make sure everyone has their bags in the appropriate places, seat belts, etc. And so I guess my bag was poking out from the chair in front of me just a little bit and she's like, Oh, you need to like put your bag in a little more. Like, okay, so I went to push it with my legs, but like, my, my legs had like, no energy. They were like shaking.
Unknown Speaker 40:21
I was. And I was just like, Oh, God, she probably hated me. I mean, I don't think she was like a, like, mad or anything, but I could tell that she was a little annoyed. Oh, like, I'm about like, my sister was like, Dude, I thought you were gonna, like just run off the plane because you looked so
Unknown Speaker 40:45
Well, the good thing now wearing a mask on a plane. It hides the bottom half of the fear face.
Unknown Speaker 40:50
Yeah, that's good. So you can kind of fake it at least Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 40:55
Scary. Yeah. Oh, sorry. We're gonna say that. One time, my sister and I were flying back to Austin. And I guess it was kind of raining. But we didn't think it was anything that crazy. And they came on the loudspeaker. And they were like, Okay, so in case of an emergency landing, and I was like, they just randomly started talking about it. Why don't do that? Oh, yeah.
Unknown Speaker 41:22
Did they like maybe they were just like, Oh, shit. We forgot to cover this at the beginning. I don't know. But a context. That's very.
Unknown Speaker 41:30
I was never so happy to land. It was fucking scary.
Unknown Speaker 41:34
Yeah, damn. Yeah. Sorry, I don't know what I'm talking about all these things? Like, have you ever had turbulence or been in turbulent? Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 41:43
it's scary.
Unknown Speaker 41:45
Yeah, I cry. I have before like, the one time me and
Unknown Speaker 41:53
carboy number three flew and we were landing and it had been a pretty turbulent flight. So I was already kind of wound up. And we were landing and all of a sudden I got really hot and I was like, I'm gonna throw up so I was like, looking for the little bag in there. And luckily, I didn't but after that, I was scared to fly cuz I was like, what if I have to throw up on the plane?
Unknown Speaker 42:16
Dude, and I noticed I think the last flight I was on there was new barf bag. And I was like, oh, man,
Unknown Speaker 42:23
you better bring.
Unknown Speaker 42:26
Yeah, so it'll be Wyo. BB Precure on barf bag.
Unknown Speaker 42:34
I'm going to be flying in June, I guess. I'm already like, Okay, let's start working on not freaking out.
Unknown Speaker 42:44
Yeah, it's uh yeah, I'm just gonna look. It's hard because it's just like, Okay, well, I'm gonna stick the flight out because I want to get to where I'm going. And then on the way back, I'm like, alright, well, I just want to be home. So I on my way home. I'm okay.
Unknown Speaker 43:01
Yeah, I feel like the flight back it's always easier. Yeah, that reason? I'm like, Okay, well, I got to have fun before
Unknown Speaker 43:10
Yeah, and like it's really dumb cuz I mean, obviously, my anxieties with flying and just stuff everyone gets kind of scared about like plane crashing the wing tearing off things of that nature. But for some reason, my brain is just like, the floor is gonna just like, drop out of the plane. Dammit. I don't know if that can even happen. But my brains like from the bottom of my feet, and I'm just like 1000s of feet in the air. Like, I need to take a pair Oh, yeah, so that's I don't know why that's just like I think like one of my biggest things I'm scared of was flying is Yeah, mind you now. Yeah, my every time I get up in the air in the plane, I'm just like, humans are not meant to be this high in the sky.
Unknown Speaker 44:15
Yeah, I have a moment. Always like when we're up in the air. I'm like, fuck, why am I up here? Inside of this metal? A little bit. I'm like, okay, it's fine. But there's always that minute of just
Unknown Speaker 44:31
terror. Yeah. Uncontrollable panic.
Unknown Speaker 44:34
Yeah, like carboy number three is asleep. I'm like, How the fuck are you sleeping? Like how?
Unknown Speaker 44:40
Maybe I'll take like a sleeping pill before we go or something. That sounds like a good way to do.
Unknown Speaker 44:45
I've been able to doze off I think once but I don't. I don't know how I did that. It's alcohol. I don't ever remember but
Unknown Speaker 44:58
it was scary. Yeah, I think I freaked out one guy. When we had like minor turbulence because I started crying. I didn't like grab on to him or anything. I was kind of like trying to like hide that I was
Unknown Speaker 45:11
I did that the first time I flew, I was so scared and we took off and I started crying and carboy number three, like, oh, put his hand Yeah, I didn't fly until I was like 23 or four. Oh, wow. Oh, one funny thing that happened. Last time I flew, we were going on a family vacation with his family. And my two nephews and niece were flying and it was their first time and I was like, oh my god, like they're gonna freak out. And then I'm gonna freak out because I'm like, barely hanging on, but they did really well. My mother in law was like, a couple rows back and she was with my youngest niece. And she was like, Okay, so the planes gonna land and it's gonna kind of like, you know, it's gonna hit and you'll feel the impact or whatever, but it's fine. That was the worst fucking landing I've ever been. Yeah, like, I feel like the plane like hit, like bounces. It was so rough. I was laughing. She was like, yes, it's a deal. And then the plane like. And like his whole Well, most of his family, like immediate family was on that flight except for his brother, Carl, who was driving. And we were like, oh, man, if the plane goes down, like Carl's give you like a fuckin orphan. And the kids were like, what?
Unknown Speaker 46:52
Don't worry about it. Oh, I remember. Whenever I had to travel a few times for one of my other jobs. It was. Yeah, again, me my boss and a co worker. And so it was just, we were the three software people in the company. And so it was just like, well, playing goes down on the way there you guys have like no software developers so good. All that shit, dilute loss? of scales. But I think oh, sorry, I forgot. Oh, that party in LA. Sorry. No, party hardy. Um, but yeah, I think Do you have any other airport stuff to talk about her office stuff?
Unknown Speaker 47:43
Now? Maybe you'll have some airport things whenever you get back? Yes. Maybe? Hopefully not. Hopefully not. Maybe you'll see something. Somebody's doing something weird on the plane or something.
Unknown Speaker 47:57
I'll keep an eye out. Now for some reason. I'm just like, I have to go check all the bathrooms. I don't know why. I was like, that's where all the weird.
Unknown Speaker 48:07
Oh, you can take a picture for us at the Austin airport where they have that little like wig on the mirror?
Unknown Speaker 48:13
I haven't seen that. That really? Yeah, but it's in
Unknown Speaker 48:17
the bathroom. Yeah, the women's bathroom. They have like a wig shape on the mirror. So you can like stand on it and it looks like you're wearing away.
