Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Have you ever been invited out for a night of
partying only because you're doing one of those sober months
and your friends need a designated driver. That's like being
picked last in gym class as an adult. It's a
jewble show. And thanks to the Internet, there's a thread
of people sharing the examples of being picked last in
gym class, but as an adult, and so we'll go

(00:21):
over them now so you can laugh a little bit.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
I hate that from the start of the.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
Week, but like the worst feel actually picked last in
gym class.

Speaker 4 (00:26):
Me or like the moment I didn't go to gym class,
but I am assuming that being picked last sucks.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
It does. I was picked last in gym class.

Speaker 5 (00:35):
I'm like, seriously, guys, I'm not like the least athletic
one here.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
What are the examples of being picked last in gym
class as an adult? Your friends wanting a group photo
together and then handing you the phone to take the
picture as an example that somebody gave That is funny.
When that happens, you're like, oh, I guess, I guess
I'm not like a good friend.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
Then, were the point? Why can't we Sophie?

Speaker 1 (01:05):
What's another example? Of being picked last and Jim class
as an adult. People talking about party plans in front
of you that you're not invited to.

Speaker 5 (01:13):
I've been put more in group text messages, like they'll
know like someone's not here, but you'll add the people
who aren't also going to be there and to be like, oh, so, guys,
like the party's gonna.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
Be this day, We're gonna do this.

Speaker 5 (01:22):
I'm like, guys, so and so isn't gonna be here,
Like I feel bad talking about it.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
In front of them, But were they invited?

Speaker 5 (01:28):
They were invited, but they're gonna be out of town.
Oh okay, Like they told the person that, but the
person still like put everyone in a group check.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
I'm always excited when I'm not invited. What why, Like
they'll have fun. I probably wouldn't want to be there.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
Right, Like this happens all the time in here, by
the way, you mean, I always find out about things
that Victoria and Nina do after the fact.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
We invite you all the time, exactly.

Speaker 6 (01:51):
We invite everybody, but the only people that ever go
are me and always ask.

Speaker 5 (01:59):
We ask the boys and Brad's like I think I
have some day like we haven't even.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
Told you what day it is. Wait.

Speaker 6 (02:06):
Also, it was to celebrate Victoria's birthday and they still.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
I don't think I got invited to that one. It
was it because.

Speaker 6 (02:13):
When we went out to drinking, when we went out
to dinner, it was like, yeah, last Thursday.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Oh, I don't think you guys told me about that.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
I'm sure and you're like, I'm tired today. No, very positive.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
No, I'm pretty sure it wasn't. I don't know which
one of us got picked last.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Us we're going over is going viral of people sharing
what it's like to be picked last in gym class,
but as an adult, finding out your friends went out
of town without calling or texting you is another one.
So sort of like the Victoria's birthday party thing.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
I guess okay, not the same.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
Another example is being sat at the random's table at
a wedding.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Oh that's always.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Funny when you sit down there, like who do you
know and you're like nobody really a casual acquaintance of
the groom.

Speaker 6 (03:04):
I can always put me at that table because they
want me to meet new people.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
This is always like the matchmaking thing.

Speaker 6 (03:10):
And then also they know that I talk matchmaking yeah,
it's either matchmaking or because they need people to feel included,
and so they put me at that table, so I
talk to them.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
I'm always at that table.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
There's just a table of people who don't know each other.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Another example that people are sharing of what's like being
picked last in gym class, but as an adult, when
you've met someone multiple times but they still say nice
to meet you.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
I do that a lot.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
It's not on purpose, No, it's not. No.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yeah, I hate a lot of people, like you know,
at work and stuff like that, so I can't. I
don't remember everybody, but the amount of times are been
like nice to meet you, They're like, yeah, yeah, we've
met before a lot.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
I also don't tell somebody you've met them before, just
clock it and move on.

Speaker 5 (03:53):
I never know if they're also going to remember, but
they just don't know what to say in the moment,
so I'm like.

Speaker 6 (03:58):
Yeah, you know, Or if they don't remember names, like
you don't remember their names, well.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
But you're not gonna say nice to meet you if
you just don't remember their name, right, You're gonna you
don't think you've ever met this person before. But if
you're the person who is receiving that terrible treatment from
that person who's met you one hundred times.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Just keep your mouth shut. Thank you there, go.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
Home and feel bad about yourself phone.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
They're not memorable. It's fine, No die it, move on.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
Another example of being picked last and Jim class as
an adult is when you're always want us to drop
behind when the path is too narrow for three, the
two people are inseparable, but you have to step behind
them for a little bit.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
And you can feel it too when you're walking.

Speaker 4 (04:40):
It's like everyone shouldering your shoulder and then they're not
making an adjustment.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
And you're trying to keep up with the conversation. You're like,
what do you guys say?

Speaker 6 (04:48):
I always feel like it's just because they're not aware,
like not socially aware.

Speaker 5 (04:52):
That's one way of see I know.

Speaker 6 (04:53):
I was like, wait a second, hold on, I've dropped
them back because I'm paying attention.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
I thought there's somebody texted into four one O six
when it said being picked last at a swinger's event.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
That would actually really stop. Definitely
