she lit up a room, and not in the way

Speaker 1 (01:53):
Oh oh, how she burned to the double on TNDRA.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
No, but voice memo, they do the voice memo. And
did they text a voice?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
They could text a voice. So that's how we're I
cat and roll in these days. We're not doing voicemail.
But if you call and leave a message, it's a voicemail.

the number and then there's a bee.
Speaker 2 (03:11):

No no, no, no, no no, you've reached the rage hotline.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
Please leave us a message.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
Be One time I worked with two of my roommates.
Oh and those bitches ate all of my special K cereal,
and boy was I mad about it. I mean I
was in a fit of rage over all of my
(03:47):
special K being gone.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
So the two of them went into their shift.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
And my shift was later that night so I go
in for my shift and literally everyone in the restaurant
knew I had anger issues over my Special K.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
And made fun of me all night.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
I'm pretty sure one of them called me Special K
for like three months.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Okay, I'm gonna take these off because this cord is
is short. It's a short king. Well, first of all,
what's funny? First of all, what's funny is that special
K is Also it's code for a drug.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
That's what I thought at first, too.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Right, she's literally talking cereal. She's talking about cereal, and
I'm like, is this code for what is Special K?
Is it ketamine?
Speaker 6 (04:38):
Special K?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah, it's ketamine. So Elon Musk would know something about that.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
But she said they ate it.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
But as she said they ate it, I really, I
really don't think she was coding for ketamine, right, I
think she's really talking about I'm just thinking Special K
isn't like super exciting, right.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
It's not.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
It's kind of boring. I thought maybe she'd say special
K with strawberries and.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
What I find like really mild.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
She said her rage about special K, meaning she she
had to have really got to them when she found
out they ate her special K so much so that
they go to work together complain about her and say
she lost her.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Marbles over the special K. Well, because it's not about
the special.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
K, right, It's about the boundaries.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
It's about boundaries and control. And maybe she likes to
have her life in a routine, and she's and she's
comforted by like I have my special K. I like
I get up and I wear these clothes and yeah,
you know, I mean that might just be the thing,
or there's some underlying issue with them, and she's really
(05:48):
using this special K. She's the way to communicate. She
doesn't want to it's her therapy. She doesn't want to
tell them that she doesn't like the way that they
talk to her exactly and said she's gonna she's gonna
pay for special We've all been there.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
I just would choose something else, like ice cream or brownies,
not special K.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Yeah, I mean, whatever you do you Oh yeah, you
touched my coffee. I will fucking shank you. Yeah, she will,
I will shank you.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Well, thanks, thanks, nicety. Listen.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
I hope now in life, special K, that you get
as much special K as you need. I hope that
you can costco special K for yourself so that now
you're just happy and you think of that and you're like, ha,
so nostalgic because look at me.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Now she needs to costco special K. But then she
needs to to hide it away, like she needs to
hoort like like stash it away like it's for winter
and so they can't find it. So she always has
a supply. But here's what I want to get to
the bottom of, Like why, like what is it about
(06:53):
that right?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Like about people eating?
Speaker 4 (06:58):
I think it's a young person's Like if she's got
roommates there, it sounds like maybe they were working at
a restaurant, Like yeah, I don't know. I feel like
when you're a kid and a kid, I mean like
in your twenties and you're living with roommates, you still
don't really know how do.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
Adult and yeah, you don't realize, like you don't do that.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
You don't know nothing.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Then you don't eat someone cereal and not replace it
right away.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
So I do think it's just behavior.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Of young people in the world starting out who weren't
raised properly.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
And also like the hyper focusing on like this is
the thing that's making me so enraged that like really
you find out as you get older, Like as a
simple conversation, Hey, we talk about like the special K situation,
because like it feels like every five minutes we're out
of special K. So like, if you want to, like,
(07:47):
let's let's be if you want to eat a special K,
go freaking get a box of specially Yeah, Like, let's
split groceries. Let's figure this out financially totally, because it
feels like listening to her, it feels like she really
felt violated, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Ah, oh boy, but.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
We get it. We get it, we get it, We
get it now. I feel like, do we have any more?
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Do we have more?
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Rage?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Hotline?
Speaker 1 (08:10):
We do?
Speaker 5 (08:11):
We have?
Speaker 4 (08:12):
H This was a conversation I had with my son.
His friend just started his first nine to five job
in a Loto topical to this episode, and he he
had been there Thursday, started on Monday. By Thursday he
called Caiden and said, this fucking sucks. This everyday nine
to five thing is a nightmare. We can't do this.
(08:35):
What company are we going to start? We're not living
this way?
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Yeah, oh yeah. Nine to five's and Properate America are brutal.
Kill our man. I don't I don't know anybody who
was just like, yep, I love my job that works
for like a big name corporation. Yeah. Like I literally
just talked to someone who left her ug you huge
(09:01):
marketing firm, like one of the biggest, if not the biggest,
and she had been there for nine years and she's
going to a competitor, and there's trauma there, Like there's
trauma like.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
She fucked up.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
She oh she oh, I thought you said she no, no, no,
she's up up up here. And I and I like
I could relate. I know, after leaving a job I
was at for a long time, all of a sudden,
you the feeling of like all of that time that
you felt like you were used compounded like you finally
(09:35):
see it. It culminates in that moment leave You're like,
oh my god, I just put up with that. And
I put up with that, and I put up with that,
and everybody puts up with that, and that that feels
like really really disheartening. So the fact that Hayden's friend
like heally he was, and everyone's signing up for this,
(09:59):
every everyone's okay with this. Noah's like screaming that the
house is on fire. Yeah, it's maddening. So many Americans
are just in Stockholm syndrome with their employers. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Same, I'm just like, hey, man, put on the rage
pod and we're here for you while you're in your cubicle.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Also like take that. Yeah, Like if he's if he's
that affected and he's like, let's go start a company,
probably going to go start a company, that's great. If
he's got that like fear and the drive to not
be in that position of like I cannot be. I
feel like it'll make it up and he'll do it.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yeah, I'm with you on that.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
And even if it even if it doesn't work out
long term, it'll lead to something else. It'll lead to
something else. But at least he's like, hey, I'm working
for my freedom.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Get or done. You know, America worked for the freedom.
We got anything else.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
On our Instagram, we asked what get everybody fired up
this week? And I loved this person's take on it
because they wrote back something positive and joyful. They said,
I want a gold medal at a local painting competition. God,
my very first time entering. Still shocked.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Wow, that's amazing.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Congratulations, I haven't gotten a gold medal. In anything me.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Neither man we.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Got we got a gold medal like through her or him?
We don't know that weymous. Okay, I can paint your
way through the rage.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Oh yeah, dude, I feel through the rage to gold medal.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I agree, life.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
I also feel like they're an OG fan because the
first or second episode I said, send us all your rage,
but also send us joyful moments because we're gonna need those.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
So I appreciate that a lot.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
So I think that's it. We're gonna wrap up. That's
the Gach Hotline. Thanks everyone for calling in and sending
your messages.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Don't forget two on three two nine three five nine
nine five Rage at the Rage pod dot Com email
send us stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
So we're going to talk about our main segment here,
work work, work, work, work, bitch. And you know what
it's right, Yeah, no bitch, it's a bitch. Nobody is
whistling while they work right now. Everyone is just sad.
I agree. It's it's like seriously weird and rough out there.
(12:20):
I don't think that there's a lot of people that
are happy with the way that, especially in America, work
is right now. I read some stats. I think like
forty five percent of Americans are dissatisfied with their work.
I want to say, it's like sixty six percent are
feeling burnout. You know some of the things that we've
(12:41):
talked about when we talk about work rage, right, One
thing is other places in the world have this thing
called a four day work we yes, yes, yes, yes
they do.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
And you know what surprise prize it says it obviously
employees are happier. But they did do a trial doing
like three employees one hundred and forty one companies. It
was like ninety percent of the companies kept the fortday
workwek even after the trial ended.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
And this happened.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
They did it across the US, UK, Australia, Canada, Ireland,
so it wasn't just the US. Workers were parted, reported
higher job satisfaction, better mental health. They said the burnout
just decreased by seventy percent. Forty one percent said their
mental health improved, better sleep quality, and then fifty two
(13:29):
percent felt more productive and they got more work done
despite less hours. Because here's the thing, right, and this
whatever alleged five day work week we have in America,
people still work on the weekends. Yeah, it's always no
one's working for the weekend anymore. It's like not even
a valid phrase. No one's really awfully always fully off.
(13:50):
And then you know a lot of what happens, you know,
particularly when there's drama in the workplace and it's a
toxic environment. Everyone's you know, side chatting it up. You're
in your meetings and your meetings. You're in your meeting,
You're in your meetings sounding like m E A T
I N.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
It's gonna be.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Get you're done. But yeah, you're you're in your like
seven back to back zooms, and all the all the
different cohorts, the different clicks of people that feel like
they're safe enough to you know, vent to. They're all
having a side chat told about how shitty everyone else
on the zoom is or whatever dumb thing that the
(14:34):
company is doing, or some you know exploitive or you know,
optic driven initiative that the CEO has imposed upon them,
and they're you know, you're you're all just like totally
it's a total vent fest. And then you're not getting
work done. You're not because you're in that Afrikan meetings.
You're in the meeting even on a four day work week,
(14:56):
I guarantee you people are gonna still work on off
hour and then when you know the shit that, like
Kevin said in the ten Am has set the whole
team on fire. You're getting on phone calls at seven
pm at night just to deal with all of this
like trauma, bonding what you're doing. So we'd like to
(15:17):
your point, like you people don't leave it at will, No,
it carries over, So you're just in the sludge all
the time, right, which is unfair unless you're getting paid
like a tons of money.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
But you know what I hear from people all the time.
The one girl on Love is Blind, you know me
and reality.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
This one girl she's she's the rich one on Love
is Blind And she was this company whatever owns like
a house in la It was another house in Dallas.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I don't even know.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
But she was like I was dating a millionaire before.
And then he was like, oh cool, I was that,
Like we were you happy? And she's like, honestly, it
was miserable because we would go out to really really
nice dinners. We would spend the night together and then
by five am he was up and he had to
go to work, because that's what it was just work
twenty four to.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Seven because he was making a million dollars. So yeah,
I mean, yeah, it's not like that's the thing is,
lawyers do get paid a lot of money, right, Ibankers
get paid a lot of money. Yeah, But when you
boil it down to what they are getting paid like hourly, right,
I mean obviously there's hourly rates for lawyers and in finance,
but certainly as you're coming up and you don't have
(16:28):
that yet, yeah, you're like, oh, they're actually not making
that much for what for what they do, for what
they're doing for all the time that there's a lot
of times on them.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Yeah, you know, just endless hours, which would fricking suck
if you ask me. But like I also wanted to
talk about, like because you you wrote down here like
the hybrid creep.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Yes, which what I was talking about earlier. Yeah, but
like the slow it's the slow creep back into the office. Yeah,
that the that executives are just like you know, reeling
the fishing line in We're all a bunch of guppies.
They want more people in the office. They want more
(17:10):
people in the office, which is bullshit. Why it's because
it's a lot harder to manage your affair schedule because
you could get calm more easily. But if you're in
the office all the time, you're like, you could be anywhere,
you can go for a long lunch. Work's gonna be
late tonight, got it, Sorry, it's gonna be a late night.
(17:31):
Put the kids to bed. Meanwhile, I'm gonna be like
knee deep in some whiskey with a woman half your age. Hold.
But but man, work is such a grind right now. Yeah,
So I think one of the things that's like the
sort of the misnomer that companies are banking on is
by using the term hybrid. They're they're trying to but
(17:54):
it's literally where they're like, yeah, Fridays you can work
at home four days, you have to come to the
freaking office. Come into the office. But then they get
to call it hybrid so they can get more people exactly.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
But it's bs dude, because it's not hybrid. And I
don't understand. I'm like, let people work how they freaking
want to work.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
There was like a I forget, there was a book
about this, a study about this that was like when
they really calculated and they figured out and analyzed how
much work is done in a day, it's something like
three or four hours. Yeah, because there's all this like
other chit chat, and you know, people get like they
(18:30):
get burnt out from doing this one thing over and over,
so they take a break. They maybe like look at
you know, buying groceries for the night or Instagram or
social or you know, they're just you're relying on self
regulation to just for people to be working a NonStop
versus ebbs and flows. Like maybe one week people are
working eight hours a day because they're in the middle
(18:51):
of a project. But then there's a couple of weeks
where it's like they just don't they don't have a
ton to do, and so they're they're gonna, how's the Internet? Well,
like that could be them at home, you know, doing
shit that they need to get done in their life exactly,
you know, And it doesn't matter if the work it's done,
the work it's done. If you're contributing to a positive
(19:14):
work environment, that's all that matters.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
You just got to trust your employees enough to know
that they're going to do their job.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
And right that's why I hire them.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Trust in them.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
They're going to want to work harder for you, I
want to do my job. I just want to be
compensated barely, meaning I just want to be able to
put food on the table. Yeah, I want to be
able to take care of my family. Because that's not
happening right now.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
People cannot afford to live like a basic decent life.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
You know what I think is wild is that I
found out that if you're in LA and your two
partner like household, you make under one hundred and ninety
thousand dollars, you are considered low income.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Correct wild? Correct?
Speaker 7 (20:00):
Wild?
Speaker 3 (20:01):
But you know what it's true, because that is because
it's so expensive to take care of people just in general,
your family, yourself well, and you need a hard.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
To go to your freaking job. You need to have
a food on the table.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
People need like to go to the doctor sometimes and
have a little bit of fun.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Unhealthcare rage is its own fuck. Well, that's a series.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
We can't go over there. We can't go but.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
It's all related, right, It's like, oh and then yeah,
you just and just because you have healthcare through a
company doesn't mean there's not all of these added costs
and you're still paying for at a portion of it.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Monthly.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yeah, but yeah, I think what's interesting is that we've
seen these you know, these uh sort of movements within
the workplace of like there was the Wyatt quitting, which
are our friend Dana was reminding us that really the
ethos of it is that it's like, what if you
(21:00):
just only did the job that you were hired to do,
Like you didn't go above and beyond, you didn't extend
yourself to the point of exhaustion, Yeah, while not getting
paid anymore for it. Yeah, you know, for barely getting recognized.
You just did your job. And that was like quiet quitting.
And then there was a great resignation where people were
(21:21):
just leaving. They're like, fuck this, I'm worth more than this. Yeah,
I'm leaving. And I guess it was also quiet firing.
But now there's this great detachment where people feel stuck,
feel fucking stuck, Like they're looking at the job market.
It's not great, No, it's not.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
They're just there physically, but they are out of it mentally,
totally detached mentally.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Because they feel like they have to stay in their job. Yeah,
because you know, it's it's not it's not a great
outlook out there. So they're like, all right, well, I'm
just gonna, like you said, like disassociate and just punching
clock it. But before, in older generations, you know, obviously
(22:06):
it was much well I'm not even gonna say it
was a more sexist time because I don't I don't
know anymore.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Yeah, I literally don't know.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
We've regressed. But people could families could live off of
a single earning out yeah income and take care of
their Yeah, and that's like not possible now, no, go.
So what happens to like the point of working at
home or working remote, Like, who's gonna get fucked in that? Moms? Totally,
(22:38):
moms are gonna get fucked in that because she's not.
At least when there was remote work, you could you
could if you could manage it where you're like, all right,
I'm I know, I'm gonna get my shit done. I
have to handle a bunch of things as it is
in our in our home life. Yeah, like I can
do this. Oh wait, now I have to go to
the office. And then it's like you have to pay
for childcare just to be able to go to the office.
(23:00):
Maybe there was some version of like when you were
at home where you could make it work because you're like,
I actually can work on that for three hours. I
can work on it later at night when they're asleep,
Like I don't have to. This isn't like a timely
urgent thing.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Oh you get it done.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
I can get it done.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Off your job done period.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
People think that taking a gig, which you and me
have both done. You know, you live gig to gig,
but it's still just you're still living paycheck to paycheck,
and you end up working sometimes more hours.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
So you get that job done and get it out
and go. It's now delivered. Then other people in a
corporate office. Sure it may be more free for your hours,
but it's still all over the place. I think we
need to circle back and another meeting. Let's let's take
this offline and then circle back next week on another meeting.
(23:56):
I just I think we can't cover it all today.
Let's yeah, let's put a pin in it right now.
And that brings us into our voguecab transition. So we
want to just talk about unnecessary corporate vouecab that is
said that nobody wants. It's just like there, you know,
(24:17):
like speak, you know, like insiders speak makes its way
into any culture, sure, but in some places it's just
like extra fucking annoying totally.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
You know, like you wrote down ID eight.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Yeah, when did that fucking come around?
Speaker 2 (24:36):
I don't know it.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
It's called think, come up with an idea, brainstorm, think,
thank you. And I'm sure brainstorm pissed off a lot
of people in that camera, you know what I mean,
it was like it was like brainstorm. So we're just
you mean, we're talking about stuff. We're storming up the brain.
We're storming up the storming it up. And like you
said wheelhouse earlier, right, Oh god, well, Friendy Wendy was
(25:01):
looking this up. Yeah, and don't even think about it.
It's it's nautical. It's nautical. It's all below from she
learned it from below deck. Because it's like, oh, it's
not in your wheelhouse. It's not a ship that you
can steer, So like you may not be good with
excel excels not in your wheelhouse, yep, But like can't
(25:25):
we just say like Excels not their strong suit? Right?
Speaker 3 (25:30):
And you know what I also hate is like when
people don't like an idea and they're like, let's put
a pin in it, and I'm like no, we're.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Not going to put a pin in it.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
What you just did is you lit a match and
you weren't it to the freaking ground.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Just tell me the truth right now. Let's not play
this like put a pin in it, like we're playing pin.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Where is the pin going?
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Exactly?
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Where is the pin?
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Where's the show down?
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Show me writing the idea down and then wearing it
on your phone? Where's the pin and where's the it
putting a pin in it?
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (26:01):
But funny enough, Also, look this up. This is not
what we think it is. You're thinking a donkey's getting
a tailpin on it?
Speaker 2 (26:10):
I mean not really, but yeah I did.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
I'm thinking something on a corkboard with with some sort
of pin, you know, sort of like a pin cushion.
But what it is what I and I might be
schooled on this and we might be setting ourselves up
for a wrong but strong but what I read was
it's actually it's it comes from the grenade, like it
comes from setting a grenade, because like if you put
(26:37):
the pin back in it, if you're not going to
actually use the grenade now, I want to use it.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
My personality, I know.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
It sexies up because put a pin in it. Let's
put in it sounds it actually makes me feel nauseous,
like like the person that would say that makes me
feel a nauseous.
Speaker 7 (27:01):
But then when you imagine that it's a grenade, it's like,
you know, it's giving wrecking ball energy totally, it's giving
it doesn't match up.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Well not listen, I think with me it might match
let's put a pin in it. But but here's the
thing I think you're thinking, like like Reva put it's
actually like oh no, no, no, let's put it away.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
I know that's how they always use it.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
But that's not exciting. That's it's it's scary, which I
guess it's adrenaline producing, but it's not like it's not
like all right, we're getting in some action. It's oh, well,
put the lid back on, right. And it's always people
who are like say it like, like you, let's put
a pin in it for now. Instead of basically saying
(27:50):
fuck you, I hate this, just say like, yeah, this
isn't going anywhere. It's not working. Hey, this isn't working
out well, right, So let's come up with an idea
that people actually like that they can take down the runway,
which is another one. Oh yeah, oh is it? Is
it modeling or is it or is it airplanes or
(28:12):
is it airplanes?
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Nobody knows?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
But you know what is in your stand up set?
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Running up the tadpole?
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Run it up the tadpole?
Speaker 7 (28:20):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (28:21):
And guys, it's absolutely not run it up the tadpole.
It is run it up the flagpole. But here on
the rage pod because I think it was maybe the pilot. Yeah,
this one, I said, tag. This one said tadpole.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
I said, what is it?
Speaker 1 (28:38):
We're going to run it up the tadpole? And then
they were like a flagpole and I was like yeah, right, no,
but now know on this pod we run things up
the tagadpole. Now that suddenly sounds fun and it's see
we could use that. Yeah, now they won't mind if
we're and you know what you you also you also
wrote down here is like low hanging fruit and take
(29:00):
this offline. Yeah, which like low hanging fruit is like
you know when I would only say that and or
hear it is around my friends who are funny.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
When they say a joke, it's too obvious. You're like,
that was low hanging fruit.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Very God doesn't bother me. I think what bothers me
in like work settings, is when you say that, it's
kind of a fuck you to the person that's like
suggesting it, yeah, because.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Like, yes, it might be like it was someone said
in a meeting that's awful.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
No, that's terrible, Like like, oh, yeah, we could do that.
That's low hanging fruit, and it's like, oh, that was
my best idea. Cool, Oh my god, Oh my god.
I thought it was like the bananas at the top
of the tree totally, you know. But that's when I'm like, okay, great,
(29:50):
I think I'm gonna take myself offline right the fuck?
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Yeah, right, by the way, what is all line? I
tell me what's offline? Nobody's offline. Ever, it doesn't even
make sense. What you need to say is, hey, nobody
on this call wants to talk about this. Right now,
You and I are gonna just go on the side
(30:18):
and we're gonna talk shit about the meeting, and we're
gonna figure out what the fuck this idea that you know,
Susie suggested and burn it to the ground. That's what
take this offline is. I don't want to hear another
word word about your mouth. Yeah, we got to move
on when that really just when I hear it, I
(30:42):
actually get an allergic reaction. Is bespoke? Every fucking brand
use that?
Speaker 2 (30:51):
The last person that said that to you? That's so dumb.
I mean, I haven't even who talks about that.
Speaker 7 (30:56):
Think for.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Think for this campaign. What we're really looking for is
something that's super bespoke to to the company and to
this amazing initiative. We really want, we really want to
create something that feels bespoke.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Yeah, this is where I sign out.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
I mean, and all it is is specific, That's all
it means. It just means customized. It means tailored, That's
all it fucking means. And people throw it around and
it's totally a word that they that they throw in
there because they don't they haven't prepped anything. I don't
(31:39):
understand why people can't just be fucking normal. Sit down
in a meeting, you work for company, and you're like, yeah,
just like you guys know the brand. Can we like
just like really get a detail. Let's fit with them,
Let's make it like happy but dark and cool? Are
we down right? You're like, I hired you for this
fucking reason out by, are we gonna do the same
(32:00):
shit we did on Coca Cola? Are we doing something new?
Dut It's like, are we doing what we did last time?
Or are we are we doing something bespoke?
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (32:10):
That's what That's what it is. It's just you know what,
is there certain words that people feel like when it's
this like insider speak, yeah, that you can tell people
get a little bit of a boner when they say it.
You know.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
The few I'll add these before we get into our
kind of the week is like the more email specific
ones are freaking killer, dude, Like as per my last email,
as per my goal as per is is like it's
Christine version of coming in hot, thank you?
Speaker 1 (32:43):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
It's like you were too dumb to read every single
word of my last email and somehow maybe it didn't register,
but you probably just were like, I don't need to
address this.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Let's move on.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
As per my last email on the passive aggressive scale
is a ten, thank you as a ten. And then
also just to clarify same thing, passive aggressive. I just
want to tell you guys too, I am a full
on purp in the VIC with some of that stuff.
But here's the thing I'm gonna defend myself for a second.
(33:18):
You get forced into this shit, Yeah, you get forced
into it. This is how they make like the army
of clones. Yeah, because you're like left out on the side.
People aren't giving you the same you know, the cool
projects to work on. No, they don't think that you're up.
You know, you're up to the task because you're not
(33:39):
speaking the fucking lingo. Right, So then you've got to
speak the lingo. So people actually think that you have
a skill when it's like you have zero skill just
saying what other people are saying, which but then you're like,
well if I don't say this, they're not going to
know what I'm talking about if I used simple English, right,
(33:59):
So then you find yourself saying, as per my last email,
I am still just looking to clarify why we were
putting a pin in it.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
We're all asleep, We're all like literally, it's it's all
of it wrapped up. It's all really bad, and I
am I want to go to a church and I
don't go.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
I want news and I don't pray news for the
Paris have to deal with someone coming in like as
per my last are.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
You getting also? And then maybe we can put a
pin in it.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
I just to clarify what, as per my last email,
is like the equivalent of like the Godfather when someone
comes to ask late, like has like fucked something up right,
and they come in and the god and the Godfather's like, Johnny,
(34:54):
you know whatever he's saying, like that's what that's how
hot like and not in.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
A good way.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Absolutely sindiary. As per my last email, I am so
with you.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
But it's also like when you add in a person
and a person for like visibility, and you're like, you
don't you don't.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Need to do well.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
I like, it's like you add in in an email,
like he's like, I copy you and I copy three
other people and you say, just for visibility, I've added
these three people to this email.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Again, all of this shit is super passive, aggressive, exact.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
Do you know what?
Speaker 1 (35:29):
Do you know what's the worst? And I've and I
have done this because again I've been I it's like
a nineteen eighty four situation. Oh wow, let's go uh
for for Tara and Wendy's viz biz. This is all right?
You know what time it is? It is time for
(35:51):
kunt of the Wei LFG dude and remind everybody. Cunt
of the Week stands for grageous, unapoli, notorious.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Woman, slash fans a M slash sid plant.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Today's Cunt of the Week is brought to us by
the Friendy Wendy trademark.
Speaker 4 (36:12):
Since we were doing an episode about work this week,
I decided to choose a famous whistleblower, and my pick
for this week's cunt of the Week is Karen Silkwood.
In nineteen seventy two, she was working as a technician
at a nuclear plant in Oklahoma, and she discovered numerous
(36:34):
safety issues, including disposure of workers to contamination, faulty respiratory equipment,
and more. And she testified to the United States Atomic
Energy Commission in the summer of nineteen seventy four about
her concerns. And then Silkwood died in a car accident
on November thirteenth, and nineteen seventy four at the age
(36:56):
of twenty eight under very suspicious circumstances.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
Oh my god, they killed her.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
They ruled the death in accident, but the paint on
the back bumper of her new car and missing documents
regarding plant safety caused onlookers to question whether she had
been intentionally forced off the road yet this she was
on her way to an interview with The New York
Times regarding the plutonium contamination. At the time of her
(37:24):
death in seventy five, the plant was shuttered, and in
nineteen seventy nine, Silkwood's father and children sued the plant
on behalf of her estate. Good They made a movie
called Silkwood, starring Meryl Streep. She was nominated for Best
Supporting Actress and it was Cher's first theatrical role. She
(37:46):
played her best friend didn't share and it was also
named nominated for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay that year.
But when we were talking about this, I was saying,
have you ever heard the term, Oh, I have to
take a silk wood shower?
Speaker 5 (38:00):
I feel so gross. I have to take a silk
wood shower.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
Never just heard it right here today? Yeah, what is that?
Speaker 4 (38:06):
Well, that is in reference to there's a scene in
the movie where she's like, shits, she got contaminated, and
she's scrubbing, scrubbing, and.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
They saw It's like when you go to a theme
park and you've been there for twelve hours and you
come back, you need to take a silkwood shower.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Yeah you do, you do?
Speaker 4 (38:24):
So to go down our acronym here. Why is Karen
Silkwood are kind of the week. She's courageous. She stood
up to a nuclear giant when no one else dared,
knowing the danger and doing it anyway. Unapologetic, she refused
to stay quiet, notorious. Her story made headlines, inspired a
Hollywood film, and exposed what corporate America wanted buried and
(38:48):
ten of a woman. She was ordinary on paper, extraordinary
in impact, a working class hero who changed history with
her conviction. You guys know, I love to wrap it
up with yeah, and so Karen Silkwood, the rage pods
kind of the week.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
Should be thankful.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
She's she still lived after her whole right after she
could have been silkwooded.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
She could have been.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
She could have been because that was after that was well.
First of all, obviously, if you're being played by Meryl Streep,
you're a notable here.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Agreed.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
Secondly, one of my takeaways is Wendy's obsessed with Karens.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
She is.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
She's obsessed with Karens who have been wronged.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Yeah, she is weird because mostly we're wronged by Karen.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
Mostly society is wrong by Karen's Maybe this is the
retribution for all of the wrongs that have been done
to karens but just like it's like sort of the
reverse of Karen Reid. Karen Reid was accused of wrongly
accused of killing somebody. Hm, Karen Silkwood was wrongly killed
(39:58):
allegedly Yeah, well allegedly she definitely was.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
She's on her way in your bump. They were like,
go get her.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
She had something real, Okay, she had all the goods
to take them down. Absolutely, these people are we want
to keep our job and this whole thing.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Somebody go get her.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
Well, that's our time on this good old episode chatting
about work, work, work, work work, So just remember we
would love it if you guys would call in three two,
three five, nine nine five email rage at theagepod dot com.

Speaker 4 (01:40):
So, since this week we're talking about work rage, I
chose a famous whistleblower and I'm going to just say
she lit up a room, and not in the way
you think.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Oh oh, how she burned to the double on TNDRA.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
I wonder if there was an explosion behind her, how
cool would that be for the.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Call that would be? That would be do what was
she then in like this the subject of a Michael
Bay film? Yeah, like that's what all those pyrotechnics, Yeah,
and she was like she was blasting away all the
bad people.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Okay, well, now's that time that we got to kick

It's a voicemail.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
No, but voice memo, they do the voice memo. And
did they text a voice?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
They could text a voice. So that's how we're I
cat and roll in these days. We're not doing voicemail.
But if you call and leave a message, it's a voicemail.
I know, a VOICEMAILO. We just told them to call
the number and then there's a bee.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
But I want them to, I want them to, but
we don't do it.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Oh yeah, we realize I have to leave my mom
a voicemail, but other than that, I'm not doing it.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah exactly.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Yeah, thank you guys for doing what you don't do
on the daily.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
No no, no, no, no no, you've reached the rage hotline.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
Please leave us a message.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
Be One time I worked with two of my roommates.
Oh and those bitches ate all of my special K cereal,
and boy was I mad about it. I mean I
was in a fit of rage over all of my
(03:47):
special K being gone.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
So the two of them went into their shift.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
And my shift was later that night so I go
in for my shift and literally everyone in the restaurant
knew I had anger issues over my Special K.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
And made fun of me all night.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
I'm pretty sure one of them called me Special K
for like three months.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Okay, I'm gonna take these off because this cord is
is short. It's a short king. Well, first of all,
what's funny? First of all, what's funny is that special
K is Also it's code for a drug.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
That's what I thought at first, too.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Right, she's literally talking cereal. She's talking about cereal, and
I'm like, is this code for what is Special K?
Is it ketamine?
Speaker 6 (04:38):
Special K?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah, it's ketamine. So Elon Musk would know something about that.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
But she said they ate it.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
But as she said they ate it, I really, I
really don't think she was coding for ketamine, right, I
think she's really talking about I'm just thinking Special K
isn't like super exciting, right.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
It's not.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
It's kind of boring. I thought maybe she'd say special
K with strawberries and.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
What I find like really mild.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
She said her rage about special K, meaning she she
had to have really got to them when she found
out they ate her special K so much so that
they go to work together complain about her and say
she lost her.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Marbles over the special K. Well, because it's not about
the special.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
K, right, It's about the boundaries.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
It's about boundaries and control. And maybe she likes to
have her life in a routine, and she's and she's
comforted by like I have my special K. I like
I get up and I wear these clothes and yeah,
you know, I mean that might just be the thing,
or there's some underlying issue with them, and she's really
(05:48):
using this special K. She's the way to communicate. She
doesn't want to it's her therapy. She doesn't want to
tell them that she doesn't like the way that they
talk to her exactly and said she's gonna she's gonna
pay for special We've all been there.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
I just would choose something else, like ice cream or brownies,
not special K.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Yeah, I mean, whatever you do you Oh yeah, you
touched my coffee. I will fucking shank you. Yeah, she will,
I will shank you.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Well, thanks, thanks, nicety. Listen.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
I hope now in life, special K, that you get
as much special K as you need. I hope that
you can costco special K for yourself so that now
you're just happy and you think of that and you're like, ha,
so nostalgic because look at me.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Now she needs to costco special K. But then she
needs to to hide it away, like she needs to
hoort like like stash it away like it's for winter
and so they can't find it. So she always has
a supply. But here's what I want to get to
the bottom of, Like why, like what is it about
(06:53):
that right?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Like about people eating?
Speaker 4 (06:58):
I think it's a young person's Like if she's got
roommates there, it sounds like maybe they were working at
a restaurant, Like yeah, I don't know. I feel like
when you're a kid and a kid, I mean like
in your twenties and you're living with roommates, you still
don't really know how do.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
Adult and yeah, you don't realize, like you don't do that.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
You don't know nothing.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Then you don't eat someone cereal and not replace it
right away.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
So I do think it's just behavior.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Of young people in the world starting out who weren't
raised properly.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
And also like the hyper focusing on like this is
the thing that's making me so enraged that like really
you find out as you get older, Like as a
simple conversation, Hey, we talk about like the special K situation,
because like it feels like every five minutes we're out
of special K. So like, if you want to, like,
(07:47):
let's let's be if you want to eat a special K,
go freaking get a box of specially Yeah, Like, let's
split groceries. Let's figure this out financially totally, because it
feels like listening to her, it feels like she really
felt violated, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Ah, oh boy, but.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
We get it. We get it, we get it, We
get it now. I feel like, do we have any more?
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Do we have more?
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Rage?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Hotline?
Speaker 1 (08:10):
We do?
Speaker 5 (08:11):
We have?
Speaker 4 (08:12):
H This was a conversation I had with my son.
His friend just started his first nine to five job
in a Loto topical to this episode, and he he
had been there Thursday, started on Monday. By Thursday he
called Caiden and said, this fucking sucks. This everyday nine
to five thing is a nightmare. We can't do this.
(08:35):
What company are we going to start? We're not living
this way?
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Yeah, oh yeah. Nine to five's and Properate America are brutal.
Kill our man. I don't I don't know anybody who
was just like, yep, I love my job that works
for like a big name corporation. Yeah. Like I literally
just talked to someone who left her ug you huge
(09:01):
marketing firm, like one of the biggest, if not the biggest,
and she had been there for nine years and she's
going to a competitor, and there's trauma there, Like there's
trauma like.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
She fucked up.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
She oh she oh, I thought you said she no, no, no,
she's up up up here. And I and I like
I could relate. I know, after leaving a job I
was at for a long time, all of a sudden,
you the feeling of like all of that time that
you felt like you were used compounded like you finally
(09:35):
see it. It culminates in that moment leave You're like,
oh my god, I just put up with that. And
I put up with that, and I put up with that,
and everybody puts up with that, and that that feels
like really really disheartening. So the fact that Hayden's friend
like heally he was, and everyone's signing up for this,
(09:59):
every everyone's okay with this. Noah's like screaming that the
house is on fire. Yeah, it's maddening. So many Americans
are just in Stockholm syndrome with their employers. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Same, I'm just like, hey, man, put on the rage
pod and we're here for you while you're in your cubicle.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Also like take that. Yeah, Like if he's if he's
that affected and he's like, let's go start a company,
probably going to go start a company, that's great. If
he's got that like fear and the drive to not
be in that position of like I cannot be. I
feel like it'll make it up and he'll do it.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yeah, I'm with you on that.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
And even if it even if it doesn't work out
long term, it'll lead to something else. It'll lead to
something else. But at least he's like, hey, I'm working
for my freedom.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Get or done. You know, America worked for the freedom.
We got anything else.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
On our Instagram, we asked what get everybody fired up
this week? And I loved this person's take on it
because they wrote back something positive and joyful. They said,
I want a gold medal at a local painting competition. God,
my very first time entering. Still shocked.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Wow, that's amazing.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Congratulations, I haven't gotten a gold medal. In anything me.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Neither man we.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Got we got a gold medal like through her or him?
We don't know that weymous. Okay, I can paint your
way through the rage.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Oh yeah, dude, I feel through the rage to gold medal.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I agree, life.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
I also feel like they're an OG fan because the
first or second episode I said, send us all your rage,
but also send us joyful moments because we're gonna need those.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
So I appreciate that a lot.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
So I think that's it. We're gonna wrap up. That's
the Gach Hotline. Thanks everyone for calling in and sending
your messages.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Don't forget two on three two nine three five nine
nine five Rage at the Rage pod dot Com email
send us stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
So we're going to talk about our main segment here,
work work, work, work, work, bitch. And you know what
it's right, Yeah, no bitch, it's a bitch. Nobody is
whistling while they work right now. Everyone is just sad.
I agree. It's it's like seriously weird and rough out there.
(12:20):
I don't think that there's a lot of people that
are happy with the way that, especially in America, work
is right now. I read some stats. I think like
forty five percent of Americans are dissatisfied with their work.
I want to say, it's like sixty six percent are
feeling burnout. You know some of the things that we've
(12:41):
talked about when we talk about work rage, right, One
thing is other places in the world have this thing
called a four day work we yes, yes, yes, yes
they do.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
And you know what surprise prize it says it obviously
employees are happier. But they did do a trial doing
like three employees one hundred and forty one companies. It
was like ninety percent of the companies kept the fortday
workwek even after the trial ended.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
And this happened.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
They did it across the US, UK, Australia, Canada, Ireland,
so it wasn't just the US. Workers were parted, reported
higher job satisfaction, better mental health. They said the burnout
just decreased by seventy percent. Forty one percent said their
mental health improved, better sleep quality, and then fifty two
(13:29):
percent felt more productive and they got more work done
despite less hours. Because here's the thing, right, and this
whatever alleged five day work week we have in America,
people still work on the weekends. Yeah, it's always no
one's working for the weekend anymore. It's like not even
a valid phrase. No one's really awfully always fully off.
(13:50):
And then you know a lot of what happens, you know,
particularly when there's drama in the workplace and it's a
toxic environment. Everyone's you know, side chatting it up. You're
in your meetings and your meetings. You're in your meeting,
You're in your meetings sounding like m E A T
I N.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
It's gonna be.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Get you're done. But yeah, you're you're in your like
seven back to back zooms, and all the all the
different cohorts, the different clicks of people that feel like
they're safe enough to you know, vent to. They're all
having a side chat told about how shitty everyone else
on the zoom is or whatever dumb thing that the
(14:34):
company is doing, or some you know exploitive or you know,
optic driven initiative that the CEO has imposed upon them,
and they're you know, you're you're all just like totally
it's a total vent fest. And then you're not getting
work done. You're not because you're in that Afrikan meetings.
You're in the meeting even on a four day work week,
(14:56):
I guarantee you people are gonna still work on off
hour and then when you know the shit that, like
Kevin said in the ten Am has set the whole
team on fire. You're getting on phone calls at seven
pm at night just to deal with all of this
like trauma, bonding what you're doing. So we'd like to
(15:17):
your point, like you people don't leave it at will, No,
it carries over, So you're just in the sludge all
the time, right, which is unfair unless you're getting paid
like a tons of money.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
But you know what I hear from people all the time.
The one girl on Love is Blind, you know me
and reality.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
This one girl she's she's the rich one on Love
is Blind And she was this company whatever owns like
a house in la It was another house in Dallas.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I don't even know.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
But she was like I was dating a millionaire before.
And then he was like, oh cool, I was that,
Like we were you happy? And she's like, honestly, it
was miserable because we would go out to really really
nice dinners. We would spend the night together and then
by five am he was up and he had to
go to work, because that's what it was just work
twenty four to.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Seven because he was making a million dollars. So yeah,
I mean, yeah, it's not like that's the thing is,
lawyers do get paid a lot of money, right, Ibankers
get paid a lot of money. Yeah, But when you
boil it down to what they are getting paid like hourly, right,
I mean obviously there's hourly rates for lawyers and in finance,
but certainly as you're coming up and you don't have
(16:28):
that yet, yeah, you're like, oh, they're actually not making
that much for what for what they do, for what
they're doing for all the time that there's a lot
of times on them.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Yeah, you know, just endless hours, which would fricking suck
if you ask me. But like I also wanted to
talk about, like because you you wrote down here like
the hybrid creep.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Yes, which what I was talking about earlier. Yeah, but
like the slow it's the slow creep back into the office. Yeah,
that the that executives are just like you know, reeling
the fishing line in We're all a bunch of guppies.
They want more people in the office. They want more
(17:10):
people in the office, which is bullshit. Why it's because
it's a lot harder to manage your affair schedule because
you could get calm more easily. But if you're in
the office all the time, you're like, you could be anywhere,
you can go for a long lunch. Work's gonna be
late tonight, got it, Sorry, it's gonna be a late night.
(17:31):
Put the kids to bed. Meanwhile, I'm gonna be like
knee deep in some whiskey with a woman half your age. Hold.
But but man, work is such a grind right now. Yeah,
So I think one of the things that's like the
sort of the misnomer that companies are banking on is
by using the term hybrid. They're they're trying to but
(17:54):
it's literally where they're like, yeah, Fridays you can work
at home four days, you have to come to the
freaking office. Come into the office. But then they get
to call it hybrid so they can get more people exactly.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
But it's bs dude, because it's not hybrid. And I
don't understand. I'm like, let people work how they freaking
want to work.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
There was like a I forget, there was a book
about this, a study about this that was like when
they really calculated and they figured out and analyzed how
much work is done in a day, it's something like
three or four hours. Yeah, because there's all this like
other chit chat, and you know, people get like they
(18:30):
get burnt out from doing this one thing over and over,
so they take a break. They maybe like look at
you know, buying groceries for the night or Instagram or
social or you know, they're just you're relying on self
regulation to just for people to be working a NonStop
versus ebbs and flows. Like maybe one week people are
working eight hours a day because they're in the middle
(18:51):
of a project. But then there's a couple of weeks
where it's like they just don't they don't have a
ton to do, and so they're they're gonna, how's the Internet? Well,
like that could be them at home, you know, doing
shit that they need to get done in their life exactly,
you know, And it doesn't matter if the work it's done,
the work it's done. If you're contributing to a positive
(19:14):
work environment, that's all that matters.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
You just got to trust your employees enough to know
that they're going to do their job.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
And right that's why I hire them.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Trust in them.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
They're going to want to work harder for you, I
want to do my job. I just want to be
compensated barely, meaning I just want to be able to
put food on the table. Yeah, I want to be
able to take care of my family. Because that's not
happening right now.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
People cannot afford to live like a basic decent life.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
You know what I think is wild is that I
found out that if you're in LA and your two
partner like household, you make under one hundred and ninety
thousand dollars, you are considered low income.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Correct wild? Correct?
Speaker 7 (20:00):
Wild?
Speaker 3 (20:01):
But you know what it's true, because that is because
it's so expensive to take care of people just in general,
your family, yourself well, and you need a hard.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
To go to your freaking job. You need to have
a food on the table.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
People need like to go to the doctor sometimes and
have a little bit of fun.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Unhealthcare rage is its own fuck. Well, that's a series.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
We can't go over there. We can't go but.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
It's all related, right, It's like, oh and then yeah,
you just and just because you have healthcare through a
company doesn't mean there's not all of these added costs
and you're still paying for at a portion of it.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Monthly.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yeah, but yeah, I think what's interesting is that we've
seen these you know, these uh sort of movements within
the workplace of like there was the Wyatt quitting, which
are our friend Dana was reminding us that really the
ethos of it is that it's like, what if you
(21:00):
just only did the job that you were hired to do,
Like you didn't go above and beyond, you didn't extend
yourself to the point of exhaustion, Yeah, while not getting
paid anymore for it. Yeah, you know, for barely getting recognized.
You just did your job. And that was like quiet quitting.
And then there was a great resignation where people were
(21:21):
just leaving. They're like, fuck this, I'm worth more than this. Yeah,
I'm leaving. And I guess it was also quiet firing.
But now there's this great detachment where people feel stuck,
feel fucking stuck, Like they're looking at the job market.
It's not great, No, it's not.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
They're just there physically, but they are out of it mentally,
totally detached mentally.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Because they feel like they have to stay in their job. Yeah,
because you know, it's it's not it's not a great
outlook out there. So they're like, all right, well, I'm
just gonna, like you said, like disassociate and just punching
clock it. But before, in older generations, you know, obviously
(22:06):
it was much well I'm not even gonna say it
was a more sexist time because I don't I don't
know anymore.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Yeah, I literally don't know.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
We've regressed. But people could families could live off of
a single earning out yeah income and take care of
their Yeah, and that's like not possible now, no, go.
So what happens to like the point of working at
home or working remote, Like, who's gonna get fucked in that? Moms? Totally,
(22:38):
moms are gonna get fucked in that because she's not.
At least when there was remote work, you could you
could if you could manage it where you're like, all right,
I'm I know, I'm gonna get my shit done. I
have to handle a bunch of things as it is
in our in our home life. Yeah, like I can
do this. Oh wait, now I have to go to
the office. And then it's like you have to pay
for childcare just to be able to go to the office.
(23:00):
Maybe there was some version of like when you were
at home where you could make it work because you're like,
I actually can work on that for three hours. I
can work on it later at night when they're asleep,
Like I don't have to. This isn't like a timely
urgent thing.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Oh you get it done.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
I can get it done.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Off your job done period.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
People think that taking a gig, which you and me
have both done. You know, you live gig to gig,
but it's still just you're still living paycheck to paycheck,
and you end up working sometimes more hours.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
So you get that job done and get it out
and go. It's now delivered. Then other people in a
corporate office. Sure it may be more free for your hours,
but it's still all over the place. I think we
need to circle back and another meeting. Let's let's take
this offline and then circle back next week on another meeting.
(23:56):
I just I think we can't cover it all today.
Let's yeah, let's put a pin in it right now.
And that brings us into our voguecab transition. So we
want to just talk about unnecessary corporate vouecab that is
said that nobody wants. It's just like there, you know,
(24:17):
like speak, you know, like insiders speak makes its way
into any culture, sure, but in some places it's just
like extra fucking annoying totally.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
You know, like you wrote down ID eight.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Yeah, when did that fucking come around?
Speaker 2 (24:36):
I don't know it.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
It's called think, come up with an idea, brainstorm, think,
thank you. And I'm sure brainstorm pissed off a lot
of people in that camera, you know what I mean,
it was like it was like brainstorm. So we're just
you mean, we're talking about stuff. We're storming up the brain.
We're storming up the storming it up. And like you
said wheelhouse earlier, right, Oh god, well, Friendy Wendy was
(25:01):
looking this up. Yeah, and don't even think about it.
It's it's nautical. It's nautical. It's all below from she
learned it from below deck. Because it's like, oh, it's
not in your wheelhouse. It's not a ship that you
can steer, So like you may not be good with
excel excels not in your wheelhouse, yep, But like can't
(25:25):
we just say like Excels not their strong suit? Right?
Speaker 3 (25:30):
And you know what I also hate is like when
people don't like an idea and they're like, let's put
a pin in it, and I'm like no, we're.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Not going to put a pin in it.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
What you just did is you lit a match and
you weren't it to the freaking ground.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Just tell me the truth right now. Let's not play
this like put a pin in it, like we're playing pin.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Where is the pin going?
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Exactly?
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Where is the pin?
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Where's the show down?
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Show me writing the idea down and then wearing it
on your phone? Where's the pin and where's the it
putting a pin in it?
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (26:01):
But funny enough, Also, look this up. This is not
what we think it is. You're thinking a donkey's getting
a tailpin on it?
Speaker 2 (26:10):
I mean not really, but yeah I did.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
I'm thinking something on a corkboard with with some sort
of pin, you know, sort of like a pin cushion.
But what it is what I and I might be
schooled on this and we might be setting ourselves up
for a wrong but strong but what I read was
it's actually it's it comes from the grenade, like it
comes from setting a grenade, because like if you put
(26:37):
the pin back in it, if you're not going to
actually use the grenade now, I want to use it.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
My personality, I know.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
It sexies up because put a pin in it. Let's
put in it sounds it actually makes me feel nauseous,
like like the person that would say that makes me
feel a nauseous.
Speaker 7 (27:01):
But then when you imagine that it's a grenade, it's like,
you know, it's giving wrecking ball energy totally, it's giving
it doesn't match up.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Well not listen, I think with me it might match
let's put a pin in it. But but here's the
thing I think you're thinking, like like Reva put it's
actually like oh no, no, no, let's put it away.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
I know that's how they always use it.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
But that's not exciting. That's it's it's scary, which I
guess it's adrenaline producing, but it's not like it's not
like all right, we're getting in some action. It's oh, well,
put the lid back on, right. And it's always people
who are like say it like, like you, let's put
a pin in it for now. Instead of basically saying
(27:50):
fuck you, I hate this, just say like, yeah, this
isn't going anywhere. It's not working. Hey, this isn't working
out well, right, So let's come up with an idea
that people actually like that they can take down the runway,
which is another one. Oh yeah, oh is it? Is
it modeling or is it or is it airplanes or
(28:12):
is it airplanes?
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Nobody knows?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
But you know what is in your stand up set?
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Running up the tadpole?
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Run it up the tadpole?
Speaker 7 (28:20):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (28:21):
And guys, it's absolutely not run it up the tadpole.
It is run it up the flagpole. But here on
the rage pod because I think it was maybe the pilot. Yeah,
this one, I said, tag. This one said tadpole.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
I said, what is it?
Speaker 1 (28:38):
We're going to run it up the tadpole? And then
they were like a flagpole and I was like yeah, right, no,
but now know on this pod we run things up
the tagadpole. Now that suddenly sounds fun and it's see
we could use that. Yeah, now they won't mind if
we're and you know what you you also you also
wrote down here is like low hanging fruit and take
(29:00):
this offline. Yeah, which like low hanging fruit is like
you know when I would only say that and or
hear it is around my friends who are funny.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
When they say a joke, it's too obvious. You're like,
that was low hanging fruit.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Very God doesn't bother me. I think what bothers me
in like work settings, is when you say that, it's
kind of a fuck you to the person that's like
suggesting it, yeah, because.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Like, yes, it might be like it was someone said
in a meeting that's awful.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
No, that's terrible, Like like, oh, yeah, we could do that.
That's low hanging fruit, and it's like, oh, that was
my best idea. Cool, Oh my god, Oh my god.
I thought it was like the bananas at the top
of the tree totally, you know. But that's when I'm like, okay, great,
(29:50):
I think I'm gonna take myself offline right the fuck?
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Yeah, right, by the way, what is all line? I
tell me what's offline? Nobody's offline. Ever, it doesn't even
make sense. What you need to say is, hey, nobody
on this call wants to talk about this. Right now,
You and I are gonna just go on the side
(30:18):
and we're gonna talk shit about the meeting, and we're
gonna figure out what the fuck this idea that you know,
Susie suggested and burn it to the ground. That's what
take this offline is. I don't want to hear another
word word about your mouth. Yeah, we got to move
on when that really just when I hear it, I
(30:42):
actually get an allergic reaction. Is bespoke? Every fucking brand
use that?
Speaker 2 (30:51):
The last person that said that to you? That's so dumb.
I mean, I haven't even who talks about that.
Speaker 7 (30:56):
Think for.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Think for this campaign. What we're really looking for is
something that's super bespoke to to the company and to
this amazing initiative. We really want, we really want to
create something that feels bespoke.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Yeah, this is where I sign out.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
I mean, and all it is is specific, That's all
it means. It just means customized. It means tailored, That's
all it fucking means. And people throw it around and
it's totally a word that they that they throw in
there because they don't they haven't prepped anything. I don't
(31:39):
understand why people can't just be fucking normal. Sit down
in a meeting, you work for company, and you're like, yeah,
just like you guys know the brand. Can we like
just like really get a detail. Let's fit with them,
Let's make it like happy but dark and cool? Are
we down right? You're like, I hired you for this
fucking reason out by, are we gonna do the same
(32:00):
shit we did on Coca Cola? Are we doing something new?
Dut It's like, are we doing what we did last time?
Or are we are we doing something bespoke?
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (32:10):
That's what That's what it is. It's just you know what,
is there certain words that people feel like when it's
this like insider speak, yeah, that you can tell people
get a little bit of a boner when they say it.
You know.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
The few I'll add these before we get into our
kind of the week is like the more email specific
ones are freaking killer, dude, Like as per my last email,
as per my goal as per is is like it's
Christine version of coming in hot, thank you?
Speaker 1 (32:43):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
It's like you were too dumb to read every single
word of my last email and somehow maybe it didn't register,
but you probably just were like, I don't need to
address this.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Let's move on.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
As per my last email on the passive aggressive scale
is a ten, thank you as a ten. And then
also just to clarify same thing, passive aggressive. I just
want to tell you guys too, I am a full
on purp in the VIC with some of that stuff.
But here's the thing I'm gonna defend myself for a second.
(33:18):
You get forced into this shit, Yeah, you get forced
into it. This is how they make like the army
of clones. Yeah, because you're like left out on the side.
People aren't giving you the same you know, the cool
projects to work on. No, they don't think that you're up.
You know, you're up to the task because you're not
(33:39):
speaking the fucking lingo. Right, So then you've got to
speak the lingo. So people actually think that you have
a skill when it's like you have zero skill just
saying what other people are saying, which but then you're like,
well if I don't say this, they're not going to
know what I'm talking about if I used simple English, right,
(33:59):
So then you find yourself saying, as per my last email,
I am still just looking to clarify why we were
putting a pin in it.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
We're all asleep, We're all like literally, it's it's all
of it wrapped up. It's all really bad, and I
am I want to go to a church and I
don't go.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
I want news and I don't pray news for the
Paris have to deal with someone coming in like as
per my last are.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
You getting also? And then maybe we can put a
pin in it.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
I just to clarify what, as per my last email,
is like the equivalent of like the Godfather when someone
comes to ask late, like has like fucked something up right,
and they come in and the god and the Godfather's like, Johnny,
(34:54):
you know whatever he's saying, like that's what that's how
hot like and not in.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
A good way.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Absolutely sindiary. As per my last email, I am so
with you.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
But it's also like when you add in a person
and a person for like visibility, and you're like, you
don't you don't.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Need to do well.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
I like, it's like you add in in an email,
like he's like, I copy you and I copy three
other people and you say, just for visibility, I've added
these three people to this email.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Again, all of this shit is super passive, aggressive, exact.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
Do you know what?
Speaker 1 (35:29):
Do you know what's the worst? And I've and I
have done this because again I've been I it's like
a nineteen eighty four situation. Oh wow, let's go uh
for for Tara and Wendy's viz biz. This is all right?
You know what time it is? It is time for
(35:51):
kunt of the Wei LFG dude and remind everybody. Cunt
of the Week stands for grageous, unapoli, notorious.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Woman, slash fans a M slash sid plant.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Today's Cunt of the Week is brought to us by
the Friendy Wendy trademark.
Speaker 4 (36:12):
Since we were doing an episode about work this week,
I decided to choose a famous whistleblower, and my pick
for this week's cunt of the Week is Karen Silkwood.
In nineteen seventy two, she was working as a technician
at a nuclear plant in Oklahoma, and she discovered numerous
(36:34):
safety issues, including disposure of workers to contamination, faulty respiratory equipment,
and more. And she testified to the United States Atomic
Energy Commission in the summer of nineteen seventy four about
her concerns. And then Silkwood died in a car accident
on November thirteenth, and nineteen seventy four at the age
(36:56):
of twenty eight under very suspicious circumstances.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
Oh my god, they killed her.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
They ruled the death in accident, but the paint on
the back bumper of her new car and missing documents
regarding plant safety caused onlookers to question whether she had
been intentionally forced off the road yet this she was
on her way to an interview with The New York
Times regarding the plutonium contamination. At the time of her
(37:24):
death in seventy five, the plant was shuttered, and in
nineteen seventy nine, Silkwood's father and children sued the plant
on behalf of her estate. Good They made a movie
called Silkwood, starring Meryl Streep. She was nominated for Best
Supporting Actress and it was Cher's first theatrical role. She
(37:46):
played her best friend didn't share and it was also
named nominated for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay that year.
But when we were talking about this, I was saying,
have you ever heard the term, Oh, I have to
take a silk wood shower?
Speaker 5 (38:00):
I feel so gross. I have to take a silk
wood shower.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
Never just heard it right here today? Yeah, what is that?
Speaker 4 (38:06):
Well, that is in reference to there's a scene in
the movie where she's like, shits, she got contaminated, and
she's scrubbing, scrubbing, and.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
They saw It's like when you go to a theme
park and you've been there for twelve hours and you
come back, you need to take a silkwood shower.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Yeah you do, you do?
Speaker 4 (38:24):
So to go down our acronym here. Why is Karen
Silkwood are kind of the week. She's courageous. She stood
up to a nuclear giant when no one else dared,
knowing the danger and doing it anyway. Unapologetic, she refused
to stay quiet, notorious. Her story made headlines, inspired a
Hollywood film, and exposed what corporate America wanted buried and
(38:48):
ten of a woman. She was ordinary on paper, extraordinary
in impact, a working class hero who changed history with
her conviction. You guys know, I love to wrap it
up with yeah, and so Karen Silkwood, the rage pods
kind of the week.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
Should be thankful.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
She's she still lived after her whole right after she
could have been silkwooded.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
She could have been.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
She could have been because that was after that was well.
First of all, obviously, if you're being played by Meryl Streep,
you're a notable here.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Agreed.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
Secondly, one of my takeaways is Wendy's obsessed with Karens.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
She is.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
She's obsessed with Karens who have been wronged.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Yeah, she is weird because mostly we're wronged by Karen.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
Mostly society is wrong by Karen's Maybe this is the
retribution for all of the wrongs that have been done
to karens but just like it's like sort of the
reverse of Karen Reid. Karen Reid was accused of wrongly
accused of killing somebody. Hm, Karen Silkwood was wrongly killed
(39:58):
allegedly Yeah, well allegedly she definitely was.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
She's on her way in your bump. They were like,
go get her.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
She had something real, Okay, she had all the goods
to take them down. Absolutely, these people are we want
to keep our job and this whole thing.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Somebody go get her.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
Well, that's our time on this good old episode chatting
about work, work, work, work work, So just remember we
would love it if you guys would call in three two,
three five, nine nine five email rage at theagepod dot com.
