Speaker 1 (00:00):
Eight five, five, five nine three five, Please don't. I
mean that would be no different than every other week
for me. But that's like you could text the same number.
So it's interesting because that was on the dating apps.
It's a prompt about like irrational fears and what did
I see this morning? It's one people use a lot
because you can pick your if you're not on the
dating apps, you put a few pictures up and then
you can pick your prompts and then answer them. It's

(00:20):
like pre pre stored questions and then you know, too,
truth to a lie is one of them? And what's
your most irrational fear? And whatever else? Why you smiling?

Speaker 2 (00:30):
I was just laughing at came in because she's trolling you.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
No, I was trolling the app.

Speaker 4 (00:35):
I didn't invent the app. No, I didn't invent the prompt.
Jesus wait, is that hinge?

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Right?

Speaker 4 (00:41):
It's unhinged.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
And one of them I saw was like irrational fear,
like getting in the shower and watching my face and
like a murderer comes and you know whatever, because you
know think about that you are sort of box you
are not sort of you're boxed in when you're in
a shower there's only one way out, and that's where
the murderer would be standing right there.

Speaker 4 (00:59):
You'd have no way to escape.

Speaker 5 (01:01):
I think about it every day.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
Is that one of your irrational fears?

Speaker 6 (01:04):
Well, I think about it every day when I'm in the shower.
At least one time every day when I'm in the shower,
I think I hear the door open and I have
to like poke my head over the shower curtain to
see if it opened or not.

Speaker 5 (01:14):
Like, man, yeah right, I'm tall, like the mechanic, you know,
and hey, yeah at three am.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
I'm dirty, you know. Yeah, yeah, what happened? Is it
just like that?

Speaker 5 (01:26):
It's an as soon as he says that.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
But I want to hear your irrational fears because you
have another one that you shared, and this is about
going into a store.

Speaker 6 (01:34):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I had to go into the
store yesterday, and I knew that I had to ask
for help, Like he sent me to the store to
get something, and I didn't know what I was looking for.

Speaker 5 (01:43):
So going in, I knew that I was going to
have to find someone.

Speaker 6 (01:46):
That worked there and actually ask them for this item.
And I was stressed out because I don't like asking
people for anything.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
Especially, I would.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Rather just if I see an employee and I don't
know where, I just be hey, where is this please,
because then that just saves me time, and then I
look less, I look less stupid then I would if
I just keep walking in circles around the place trying
to find the thing, especially if it's a complicated place
like home depots.

Speaker 4 (02:09):
Where I was, is that we're went home deep stuff everywhere.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
They got stuff tucked away everywhere, and like I want
to go to the bookstore. I usually we'll ask somebody,
because the other thing is sometimes it'll be like where
the best sellers are. Sometimes it'll be in some section,
and then sometimes it'll be on one of those like
random tables they got set up all over the store,
so you might go to where you think it is
and you're like, where the hell is it, and only
to go ask somebody after thirty minutes of trying not

(02:34):
to embarrass yourself, and they're like, oh no, actually it's
over here on the sale end cap, and I'm like,
I wouldn't known to go to the sale end cap.

Speaker 5 (02:42):
Right, Yeah.

Speaker 6 (02:42):
I was in the pink department. I need something for
a lawnmower. I was like in the complete final place,
and finally I had to ask, yeah, and I was.

Speaker 5 (02:49):
I don't Maybe it's like I don't like bugging people.

Speaker 6 (02:51):
I don't know, but it just when I have to
call somewhere, like make an appointment or res like I.

Speaker 5 (02:57):
Just hate doing all that. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Really, Yeah, you hate so you hate communicating with other
people for your needs, That's what you're saying.

Speaker 6 (03:04):
I think I feel like I should be able to
handle everything myself, So I hate calling or bugging other people,
hear you, and making it their.

Speaker 5 (03:10):
Problem, my problem, their problem.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
I have a fear this text message. I have a
fear of getting t boned. Every time I'm stopping an intersection.
I get nervous in the shower. Someone will break in
and kill my family, but I won't hear it happen.

Speaker 4 (03:24):
Damn.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
I mean, he's a really morbid it's really morbid concerns.
What about you, guys? You have irrational fears?

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (03:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (03:33):
I never put the ceiling fan on high because I
think it's going to fall off and kill me in
my sleep.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
You know what I'm saying. The ceiling fan is going
I never put it on high.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
What you're gonna do like, because sometimes you never know how.
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
I didn't solve it too, that's the that's the crazy.

Speaker 5 (03:48):
Part of the problem.

Speaker 7 (03:53):
But yeah, I feel like if I put on high
because it goes so fast and you go to.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Sleep, I don't know you Sometimes, Yes, if I can
by my own ceiling fan, it was time.

Speaker 4 (04:03):
It was time for me to go. It was my time.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yeah, my own ceiling fan falls from the ceiling running
and somehow doesn't stop running.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
And decapitates me. Well it laying flat. Hey, you wouldn't
die from me, So it fell at that particular angle,
and it's time for me to go. It really is.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
And I've done much riskier things and survived. Ki. Can
you strike me as somebody that would have these sorts
of irrational fears.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
I'm scared of everything.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
I'm scared of, especially like Jason bothering people, so like
I will type an email and overthink an email for
two weeks before I send it to you. Really, Yeah,
it's very sickning. I think it was from my internship. Secondly,
I am scared about when my dog, my dog, and
I think he does this to mess with me when
I'm in the shower and I'm home alone, my dog
goes on a barking spree, like he sprints through the

(04:53):
hallway like an intruder is coming, and he's just barking,
And I'm like, I'm about to die.

Speaker 4 (04:57):
What am I gonna do?

Speaker 6 (04:58):
If they're barking here in the shop, I'm like, it's over.
There's there's multiple people in my house.

Speaker 5 (05:02):
It's a wrap wow.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
Barking in emailing.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
Yeah, you can hear the dog over the TikTok exactly.

Speaker 5 (05:09):
That's my distraction.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Okay, that's my distraction.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
I'm surprised you're not concerned about getting electrocuted for watching
TikTok in the shower. But that doesn't concern you at all.

Speaker 5 (05:20):
I have no concern about that, which is crazy.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Yeah, but the dog barking is a big problem. Revolving doors.
Revolving doors is a hard thing for people. Paranoid shark
will attack me in the pool. More than one person
has said that your pool, why would it be there?

Speaker 3 (05:36):
I hate it from the movies.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
I have a fear that a snake will come out
of the toilet and bite me while I'm doing my business.

Speaker 5 (05:42):
That's a new fair. Ever since I saw TikTok, about that.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yeah, a lot of people are texting that they have
concerns about asking people questions, like they're bothering them.

Speaker 5 (05:50):
Yes, yeah, yeah, I hate it too.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
But they're there, I mean oftentimes not if you're not
rude about it. They're there to answer your questions. That's
a purpose of some of these people.

Speaker 6 (06:01):
I think I also did those jobs, and I just
remember being so annoyed. I also didn't know what I
was doing, so like people came up to me and
I didn't know the answer, like it was just an inconvenience.
So I think that's always in my head too. It's
like they don't want to help me. They don't want
to talk to me, like I'm fully aware.

Speaker 7 (06:14):
Of sometimes, like when I go to those stores like
a home depot like and IOD, I want to ask
my help, but I don't, like I look like I
play like I'm lost, or like I play like like
I'm like searching it.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
So so someone comes to me and asks me, hey,
can I help you?

Speaker 1 (06:29):
Do you look like you're in distress, like you as
opposed to just assertively I don't know where I am?

Speaker 4 (06:41):
How did I wind up here? Now people think maybe
you have dementia or something.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Forty forty eight as opposed to just like, if you're
worried about looking a certain kind of way, then why
don't you just assertively approach them one and be like,
excuse me, pardon me? You start to bother you? Where
is this located? So I can just go get it
and get the hell out of your life?

Speaker 3 (06:57):
I'm not bothering them. They're coming the hell you make
the first.

Speaker 4 (07:01):
Yeah, I don't like. I don't like.

Speaker 7 (07:03):
I don't like calling for, like to a place in order,
like for or you know, like when we order takeout
or something like that.

Speaker 5 (07:09):
I hate. Let me do it.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
Yeah, just likely talk for a living.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
I was like, yeah, but I don't want to talk
to this person.

Speaker 5 (07:15):
They're judging my order. Wow, I'm just insecure.

Speaker 4 (07:20):
I have've never heard of some.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
Of the Hey Maureene, Yeah, hi morning.

Speaker 8 (07:28):
Good morning.

Speaker 4 (07:29):
My fear is driving over bridges.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
A lot of people have this fear, like what the
bridge is going to collapse right when you're over it.

Speaker 4 (07:37):
I just feel like when I'm driving, I just want
to like drive off it.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
Really, do you roll your windows down when you go
over bridges? I know a lot of people do that
just in case I always have.

Speaker 5 (07:49):
I always have the A C.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
But no, I'm just so scared driving over bridges, like
you're just gonna go, you know what, and then just
take a hard ride or something like right exactly. Oh yeah,
it's scary.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
Okay, all right, Maureen, Well yeah, I don't know. I
love you valued okay, like I want you to.

Speaker 4 (08:09):
Yeah, it's anxiety producing. Okay, Hey, Marey, I love you.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
Okay, your life matters, all right, Okay, I won't drive off,
please don't. You're one of the thirteen. We only have thirteen.
I mean, you know that kind. I'm sure other people
care to.

Speaker 4 (08:25):
Hey, Ryan, I was gonna say, I've been at companies
before where we have.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
A shirt that says how many I help you? So
Rufio and other people as a customer can get a
shirt that says hey can you help me and wear
that so.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
They don't have a good idea. Okay, good, I need help. Yeah,
I mean I should.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
Wear that shirt anyway, like just on a daily basis,
just me if I need help. Yeah, approach excellent, excellentestion,
Thank you have a nice day. Driving over a bridge
terrifies me.

Speaker 4 (08:57):
Oh you know what.

Speaker 7 (08:58):
My other irrational fear of going to like a Target
or Walmart, is wearing the same color of the employees,
like like you know.

Speaker 5 (09:06):
Redding Cai that someone's gonna come up to me and
ask for I think it's the name tag that says
Rufio on it. Wearing like a.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
Red shirt at Marget or even Khakis. Yeah, they'll be like, hey,
if you work here, I.

Speaker 5 (09:18):
Don't work here.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
Yeah, you're always in khakis.

Speaker 4 (09:22):
I don't think I've ever seen you wear Khaki's.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
Pizza path pizza pathy doing. Hey, man, so this is
a new one. I've really never heard of so many
people concerned about asking for help places.

Speaker 4 (09:36):
Uh, but you have a suggestion I do.

Speaker 8 (09:40):
So this is for Jason, strictly for home Depot. Download
the home Depot app. So whenever you go to home Depot,
you just search for what you're looking for and it
will tell you what aisle, what shelf, and how many
they have.

Speaker 4 (09:54):
You'll never have to get store mode.

Speaker 5 (09:56):
Yeah, okay, wow, thank you, I'm gonna do that.

Speaker 4 (09:59):
Look at that. That's a game change in the pocket for.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
You, all right, thank you? Pizza Pad.

Speaker 4 (10:07):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
I mean I feel like if I'm working at a place,
I mean, I worked in retail. I feel, you know,
a lot of people work in restaurants growing up, or
retailer both. I worked in retail, and if I'm just
standing there bored as hell, I guess i'd rather you
come over and ask me. I'd certainly rather as an
OCD person who had to fold everything in that store
and make it look perfect, I would much rather you
ask me to get you whatever size you're looking for.

(10:28):
And I still do that to this day. I'll be like, hey,
you hi, I'm looking for you know, do you want
me to do this or do you want to do it?
And every single time they're like, I got it, what
do you want? I'm like a thirty four. They're like okay,
because everybody else just goes and opens.

Speaker 4 (10:40):
All of them up and folds it every shirt.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
And then even to this day now I will say,
I guess I do have this irrational fear. Is it
I try and put it back the way that it
was folded already because I just and it never looks
the same because usually they use like a board. I
have some you know, proprietary method of folding. It never
looks right. But I always feel bad walking away from
like a display that I disrupted because I do know
somebody has to go over there and fix it, and

(11:05):
I feel like they'd probably rather just do it for
you so they don't have to fix it again.

Speaker 4 (11:09):
But yeah, as far as asking people for home.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
It's a scary thing. Another one last thing that I'm
also scared of are plastic picnic chairs.

Speaker 6 (11:18):
Oh yeah, if you were a new chair in these time,
meet the laboring burning.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
Need no chair to break chairs.

Speaker 5 (11:30):
You guys don't want it, don't want to be.

Speaker 4 (11:34):
We need metal or I'm standing the old time. Okay, I.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
Got a hold. I got a whole new list of
things I didn't know I was sharing.

Speaker 4 (11:43):
