what's the weirdest thing you ever found in a subterranean place? Well,
there was a like a tabernacle of sorts where you
would sacrifice a body in order to resurrect one of
your friends that has been lost in the caves. Does

(02:51):
How about the Grateful Dead? See, there we go. That
would have worked. Of course, you said you're fucking dead head?
Not how many times have you super little bears everywhere?

the den the entire time. I don't know how she
transferred her chip to somebody, but she did. Okay, Well,
all that matters is that you're safe. By the way,
your dad is out there with illegal nunchucks. He's looking
for you. But we're home and we're safe. So why
don't we just turn on the participation awards and hope
everything works out a fide with your dad. Okay, that

(31:04):
sounds like a plant. Were Snowball right here coming a
little girl? It's hey god, yeah. Um. I wanted to
say I thought, hold on't okay. I just wanted to say,
I'm sorry to interrupt. I wanted to say about what
you did for that girl that died. Yeah, the way

(31:26):
you brought him. Oh no, no, no, no, Okayama, I
knew that. I just thought that was really cool, that
girl that died in Ohio. And then she was what
did you bring me? I was just I didn't bring
you a gift. You just came in here and didn't
bring me I was just gonna say, I thought it
was really cool you that you were doing miracles again.

(31:48):
I thought that was really cool, and you just didn't
bring anything for me. Um, I have this. Oh my god,
God had a stroke. Yeah, how does that even work?
I don't Oh. I think he was taking some sort
of performance dress and he was all worked up and
the note started bleeding and like, I don't know what

(32:09):
to do. But he was like, am I God? No?
Because I was okay at being an angel, but I
wasn't even right like last year. I just got like
a participation. It weren't it. Now. I'm like, my god,
We'll try to try to bring somebody back to life. Oh,
I don't know to pick someone, my mom, I just
had a long time ago from the s. Give it

(32:31):
a shot. I don't know where to begin. Okay, you're
clearly not God. And that's our second scene, our final
scene suggestion for today. Hey guys, my name is George,
and I worked for a certain big box retailer who
may or may not have decided that an asterix would

(32:53):
be a fantastic symbol for their company. I can assure
you that if you have a good sense of humor,
then it's very difficult to work on the floor of
such a retailer. Listening to request from our customers can
spontaneously send you into fits of hysterical after if you
aren't trained to resist this. I am so trained, and
I'm happy to report that you guys have broken me
a few times while out there on the floor. I
love everything you do, well most of it right. So

(33:15):
my hopeful scene a sales associate, a department manager, a
customer with an impossible request that must be satisfied because
the customer is always right right, laughing until I'm pretty again.
George of North Carolina, I'm sorry. I just don't understand
why you can't accommodate my ask. So you don't have
a receipt and we have. I don't see the product

(33:38):
right here. I want this toaster to turn into a
little car that I can drive around. Okay, and that
can't be done. Then I guess maybe I don't want
to Please, please, please, please don't leave. Let me grab
my supervisor. What's going on? Hi, thank you for being here.
I saw there was some sort of commotion there. Commotion
over and just have my lunch in peace. I'm sorry,

(33:58):
and I don't know why I can't have my life
in peace. Excuse me, I'm a customer. Excuse my or
your customers. Yeah, that changes. Give me your lunch, Give
me your lunch, Dan, do it? I just all right,
I'll be right back. I'll bring you my lunch. Um. Now, look,
if he doesn't come back with the lunch that I

(34:19):
want your asses in trouble. I know what he has today,
So I want you tell me what is you want?
I want a steak pizza. He has Thai food. Okay,
well that's not what I want. Is coconut? Look at that?
Look at that? You know what. I'm gonna put my
hands in there and I'm not gonna need any of
that because I wanted a steak pizza. Now I want
this toaster pizza turn into a little car and for

(34:39):
me to get inside and drive around. That could happen
if you have your receipt. I don't. This is FedEx kinks. Yeah,
what what do you mean? We could do that, right,
aren't you. I'm sorry? You know the candy you sell.
The candy you're selling right here? I mean this is
just items here. Um, so where the toaster? This is it?

(35:01):
That's the toaster? Yeah, it's you and someone passed in it. Yes,
next question, it looks old, Yes, it's old. It's magical. Okay,
apparently there was a genie who died in there. That's
who passed, and all the magical wishes are inside. And
if you tie it right with the right piece of
toast and it pops up, you get one wish. I'm
sticking tired of explain people. So what do we have

(35:23):
to do to make you happy? You gotta make sure
that this toaster can turn into a little car for
me to drive around. And two, I can't be more clear,
And you're saying that if we can get a piece
of toast you're married, of course, give me the keys
here house. I want to go to your house and
live like you do for a little. I think that's
I think you have to have the boss here. Customers
always right. I know, Ny, this is a piece of

(35:49):
this is kids. Come here, you're my kid? No, no, no, no,
this is this is inappropriate. I wouldn't have been here. Listen,
if I had known you were coming home early, I
wouldn't never been here. I don't want to head calm
down and the customers always right. I want to her

(36:13):
to express yourselves. All right, guys, welcome on board. You're
almost team members here at the FedEx can Goes. You're
just gonna watch this quick training video, leave you alone
five minutes. If you have any questions, you just let
me know. Sound good, Yes, sounds good, Yes, sounds great?
Press playing now you want to be a FedEx can't
go member. We better shut the funk up and listen
up your people. It's just really quick Randy macho man savage. Yeah, yeah,

(36:35):
we got him. Um I do I do want to say,
maybe take notes? Take notes on this? Come, I might
ask you a couple There are a lot of profanity
in this training video. That's not for me to say.
I'll press play and oh yeah, because real quick, I
think now that I recall, I think, so press play.
Let's have a fucking piece of chest dick holes. All right?
You want to make those copies and want to make

(36:55):
them good, well, then you better shut the funk up
and listen to this. Goddamn customers a fuck up listen
to Now. What are you gonna do when they're asking
you to have a lamination? Huh? You can tell us
showing up their ask to go to funktown but you
can also come on a pleasant right here. Okay, where's
town having a lamination? What is having a lamination? Laminating

(37:16):
a document? Yes? Okay, but what are we going to
tell the customer if they asked about I think that
the first thing was farcical that he was suggesting. I
think he was about to tell us that we should
probably laminate the document. Well, actually what he actually said
us shove it up their ass, right, But he said
you could say that, but it was the way the
tone made it seem like the next but he should say,
but we didn't get there because you have manager written
all over you. Oh I've been a manager at a

(37:38):
lot of places. That makes sense, sir. I think I'm
having a lamination. What does that mean? I don't know. Okay, well,
we're almost done with this video. Okay, Randy, We're going
to do another shot. But come on and stick to
the script this time. Far off of it. It's not
I'm an artist and I gotta read it my way,
all right, Yes, but you're not even yeah, god, you're

(38:00):
not even really get a toll. I mean you literally
is supposed to say. You know, if the toner runs low,
be sure to replace it. With a one sixty print drink.
The toner is running low and kick that ship in
the dick balls and ram its ass out of his
face and then fun that ship until it all that
stuff gets back in. Uh, that's not it at all ready,
just a new a slim jim. Please stop telling everyone

(38:23):
to go to fun town. Alright, fun down population me
and you bah bah, all right, listen, I got some
good news. Oh please please broke good news. It's I know,
so where to get the guy out of your house? Okay,
because I found somebody who says he can turn this
toaster into a tiny carpet and dry. My wife is
I think, right? I think my wife? What's the guy?

(38:43):
I'm sure she does that? Guys like fucking cool? You
know what I mean? Um, he commands a room. Now
this is factor, you know what I mean? Like, how
do you do that? All right? Now? This is the
guy here. He had a sign outside saying, um, the
is near. So I just approached him and he says
he knows what's up with how to turn toasters in

(39:04):
the cars. Okay, well that sounds like weird credentials. But
do you want to turn your toaster into a car Okay,
you sound kind of know that there's a genie stuck
in this toaster. That's what I've been told. Well, if
you do get the wish, because you make sure that
you don't use that wish because it's maybe I can

(39:24):
take this toaster off your hands. I need the toaster
for this customer. Oh, you need the toaster for the customer. Well, wait,
are you going to fix the toaster for us and
turn it into a little tiny car or not? Hell, yeah,
I'm gonna turn it. You're going to be a manager
one day. Don't say that. You know I'm saying that
one day you'll be a manager. Here's the toaster. Okay,

(39:49):
that's a for slaughter. Yeah, I was surprised by it too. Okay,
it's a smart toaster, so that's good. Should I plug
it in or is it find Let's plug it in.
Let's plug it in. Okay, Well, we're gonna have to
kind of sneak through my house because that guy is
in there. Daddy, daddy, excuse me, daddy, I'm not getting

(40:09):
off your father's lap. Don't even make us some more more.
TEMI cuts. Here's here. Now you keep it. You deserve it. Oh,
I'll take it for both of you. I don't. Oh, well,
here's this, and here's this. What that leads you here
in the kitchen and here's the kitchen for FedEx. Kinko's

(40:32):
how long? Yeah, well I guess probably about ten years?
Can we take I worked there back in the day. Really,
I work with Kinko himself. No, Mr Kinko. Yeah, we
just called him Kinko. You didn't call him Mr Kinko.
I make my staff call me Mr. Well that might
be part of your problem. Really, Well, it's plugged in,
so well it's rebooting. Let's give it some time to reboot,

(40:56):
all right, Daddy, Daddy, dad me, Oh, why are you
doing here? I just was where the hell is my toaster?
I just heard daddy a few times, so I came
in here. We don't consider part of his family anymore.
Turned okay, Well we're working on. Is it true that
if the toaster turns into a car, a tinny car,

(41:18):
you're going to leave us? Momly? Is that true? Let
him speak? When a man he's leaving, he's leaving. Yeah,
I'm you're taking anybody with your baby in that tiny car.
I don't know if it'll fit, if any it'll fit.

(41:39):
I was like, what one of us I used to
produce training videos for FedEx kin goes they make our trash.
Oh that one with Randy Machoman. Savage addressed his kool
aid man. Yeah, it's weird. It doesn't make sense. It's
very weird. Yeah. I feel like he's not even following
the script that used to be consistent in all. I
was hoping that just ring the toaster off and turning

(42:01):
it on again would wear that your plan already, it's
not turning it into Adam. My family's in there. I
want my family. Alright, new hires, listen up. First of all,
congratulations on getting through training. Yes, thank you. Now this
is a bit unorthodox, but we're going to ask you
to go above and beyond during your first day. Best

(42:23):
quality is also my worst quality is also my best quality.
That's what we like about you. All right. So here's
the task at hand. Do any of you know how
to turn a toaster into a tiny car because this
is a riddle. Uh no, this is an actual, actual
thing we need to do. I mean I might. My

(42:46):
dad was a genie. Say no more, want to say more?
Will you guys talk about I'm leaving. Yeah, see, my
mom rubbed a lamp a long time ago, and her
third wish was to fuck the genie. That's what. So, yeah,
my dad, I think I inherited half of what you
talk about your mother so callously. It doesn't seem like

(43:08):
you have a good relationship respect her. I love my mom,
I really do. I was phoned in. Yeah, all right,
well she left. Okay to raise myself on just Ton
Heer and Grola bars. Do you have Genie skills? Yes?
But okay, okay, you are ruining my life. Hey, just

(43:28):
you know what His plan was, turned off the toast
and turn it back on. We try that already, I know. Okay.
Good news though, Okay, one of the new hires thinks
he can do it. He says he's part of Genie.
He's what. That's right, Get out of the deck. You
know what. I'm gonna be back here and I'm going
to be the man at this house again. And don't
wait right, wait, wait a minute, nobody's cleaned the crumb tray. Jesus,

(43:52):

which one of you super super employees A s okay, cool,
that's not he says that to everything. This guy right here, Hi,
half Genie, but yeah, half Cheney. Do you think you're

(44:14):
going to have to do this job? Are you gonna
do this job? Don't be so rude. I'm sorry, I'm
desperate here. Okay, there's a man with my wife and
my child. Basically, I don't think it's brand to talk
about that kind of stuff at work. What Yeah, you
don't want to watch the macho man ready savage sexual
harassment video. It's terrible, it's scary. I'm happy to go
down there and do what I can. I brought the

(44:36):
toaster to you. Did it's right here? Turn it into
a tiny car. Please, I will give you. I will
give you a straight trus in. Um, I need some

some in my lunch and you get a little tune
on it. But I can scrape it makes a good

(45:00):
Mayo because I have a problem with So it's just
straight up to one set. Scrape scrape, scrape, scrape scrape.
So who was the who who was it? Your mother
and father? Who was the genie? I ran out my dad.
Your dad was yeah, okay, I haven't seen him since then,
So let me put the breadit. Have you done this before?

(45:22):

wish came true. Oh my god, that's so sad. That

(45:47):
kid was totally separate. Sorry, Dad, Look, I want to
spend time with you. I never want to let you
go again. But part of this is you have to
turn your home and do a tiny little car that
total pricking right around in Please phrase it in the
form of a wish. Do it? Do it? I wish,

(46:09):
just do it that your toaster became a tiny little
car that this asshole customer can drive, and we go
outside and throw the ball around. Then it is so, hey,

(46:29):

I got the tiny carl? Hello, Please don't this toaster

I just you know. Look, you knew Dad was a
genie when you brought me back from the toaster. I know,

your dick to fall off. Whoa, Okay, that's a new one.
