Speaker 1 (00:10):
You're listening to the WDYM, the what Do you Mean?
Podcast.
Now everyone gather around andlisten to one of Hamilton's best
podcasts.
No research to back this up.
Your host, Michael Gillespie.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
I've been researching who has the longest what Do you
Mean?
Podcast.
It's one of those questions inthe back you have.
You're like well, you know,I've been doing this for a while
.
How many other what Do you Mean?
Podcasts are out there?
Because what do you mean is acommon term that we all use
around here.
So it's like, let me, let me dosome investigating, let's find

(00:55):
out how many other what Do youMean podcasts are out there.
And I found a couple just onApple, because you know, I'm
just starting my search,starting my research as far as
who has the longest WDYM podcastout there.
So I started on Apple and Ifound like five or six of them
and I found one in that I think.

(01:15):
I'm assuming that's in Korean.
I'm not even going to try topronounce the name Le Fleur, le
Fleur Lee, and you know, if Ibutcher it I apologize.
They're at 48 episodes.
I got this one by Alex and Dan.
That's at 10 episodes.
We have one that just did oneepisode.
I said I ain't, I'm done, andanother one by Church Home and

(01:37):
Judah Smith.
That's at 45.
I do subscribe to Ty and MonicaCombs as WDYM because it's just
interesting to hear otheraspects of a WDYM and they talk
well.
The last time I listened tothem they talked a lot about
their personal lives and allthat stuff.
So I need to get back on themand listen to what they're doing
.
Just, you know, it's alwaysinteresting to hear other people

(01:58):
do a WDYM.
But as far as this, you know,comparing all their numbers, you
know, 31, 45, 48, et cetera, etcetera your boy is at 77, which
means currently I am thelongest running WDYM podcast

(02:19):
according to Apple.
So, yeah, I'm going to takethat.
I'm at 77 and running, plus Igot two to edit and I'll tell
you doing a podcast.
You know, you don't knowexactly what you're doing until
you get into it.
Editing takes forever but it'sworth it.

(02:43):
I'm not complaining or anythinglike that.
I am enjoying what I'm doingand I got more episodes to go
and you know it's fun for me andI want to thank you yes, you
person in the seat listening tome right now with the headphones
in or anything.
Thank you for listening to meRamble on for 77 episodes.
We're on our push to seasonthree and, as far as my research

(03:13):
goes, if that's true, based onother podcast websites and
everything that's probably goingto be in the season three role,
the intro, when I, when I get,get to there, when I get, when I
get to season three, you bestbelieve the longest running WDYM
podcast, your host, michaelGillespie, do doon, doon, doon,
doon, doon, doon, doon, doon,doon doon.

(03:35):
So, yeah, better believe that'sgoing to be in the season three
intro.
So some other things that'sgoing on in life of the WDYM and
everything I have decided to doTo take the stage on amateur
night at a local funny bone herein Ohio, the one in our Liberty
Center.
April 4th is the tentative date.

(03:58):
I've expressed interest indoing it because I'm like 60%
sure I want to do it.
But you know, doing that onstage as an amateur, you know
there's a lot of things that I'mnot used to.
But I could tell jokes.
I mean, if I wouldn't do thispodcast if I didn't tell jokes
and have a way to be astoryteller myself.
So I sent out the feelers outto do amateur night April 4th at

(04:22):
the funny bone in LibertyCenter In Ohio.
So I'm about 60% sure I want todo it and I've already gone
over some of my material in thepodcast.
So I only got to go for five tosix minutes, so already got the
General idea of what to do andin fact I've already talked
about it in the podcast.

(04:43):
As far as season one, episodethree, titled Scotty Pippin is
tripping and what do you mean?
I went to jail and it's funnythat you know that's the title
of that episode that long agobecause Scotty Pippin is still
tripping.
The idea of going to jail isabsolute Freaks me out.
But to give you a quicksynopsis of the five to six

(05:07):
minute bit that I plan on doingat, the funny bone is where I'm
a frustrated, angry Chipotleworker Manager working clopens,
closed, open, open and close.
I got so desperate to look foranother job I even decided to
Think that I could work at ajail, as funny as that sounds.
That was my idea and there's somany things to Do on the mic

(05:32):
for five to six minutes.
So hopefully I rehearsed itonce and I reached the five, six
minute, five minutes and 15seconds to be exact.
When I did the initial bit Iwas surprised that I went Five
to six minutes because it feltlike I was talking forever and I
was like only at three, fourminutes.
But I could definitely addstuff to it and embellish it.
But the general principle isthat you don't want to work at
jail, so that's one of thesquares on the bangle sheet that

(05:56):
I want to Exile for 2024 to dothis amateur, amateur bit for
five to six minutes at the funnybone.
So About 60% sure I'm going todo it.
We'll see.
Because me, here's my thing,here's my problem with doing
stand up, doing stand up comedy,even if it's amateur.

(06:17):
I could tell jokes all day andbe funny all day.
The problem is is when thelaugh goes too long, I can no
longer decipher if you'relaughing at the joke or laughing
at me.
I don't know why my brainfunctions like that, but it's
like, once you go, ha ha, okay,it's funny.
But when you do this for toolong, okay, okay, what the hell

(06:43):
so funny?
I mean I told that joke 15seconds ago.
Why y'all still?
Why y'all still laughing?
It's not funny, no more, thejoke is over.
I gotta move on to the nextjoke.
So that's the hard part for meto get over.
But we'll see how it goes.
I got said I'm about 60% sure Iwant to do this, but we'll see.
We will see if this issomething that I can do.

(07:04):
Obviously, I'll let you guysknow, hopefully, when I do this
performance, that they give me Atape or something like that, so
I can at least see what I doand my mannerisms and See if I
can correct that, see if there'ssomething I want to do a second
time, because I got jokes fordays, but doing it on stage is
different, you know.
So we will see about that.

(07:27):
Stay tuned to see if April 4thor, yeah, april 4th is an exact
thing.
So what else is going on?
This one is titled a chain ofevents, so one thing led to

(07:48):
another, which led to another.
Three different topics, but allrelated to the same thing.
This all starts with a newemployee.
I get a new employee, needlessto say that this new employee
was not ready to work at myfacility.
People say that I am hard on mypeople, but if you do your job
and you Function well as far asyour job and I basically do not

(08:13):
do not get on you.
So I got this one guy that ittook a long time for him to
function properly and the bottomline is that he was not.
He was not hitting on allcylinders like I needed him to
do.
It came to a point where itcould have been disastrous if he
continued his, his, him workingfor me.

(08:34):
I voiced my frustration on Onsocial media.
I couldn't, I couldn'tcomprehend why the greatest,
greatest healthcare facility inButler County Employed this
young person.
I went to social media.
I was like I can't believe.
This is the situation that I'min and I was highly upset.
This comes down to the secondevent.

(08:55):
So I'm over at another facility, the Don, aka my marble friend,
sees me in the hallway andshe's like she points her finger
.
Her finger was like straight,like Straight, you couldn't bend
that finger and I could see itlike ten feet away.
She points her finger at me,says I need to speak to you now.

(09:15):
Let me rewind.
I rewind time a bit and tell youand what a marble friend it's.
At first, when she said we weremarble friends, I was like I
don't know what, what, what youtalk about, because I've never
been labeled a Marble friendlike you.
Don't, don't be calling me nonames.
I gotta figure out if this issomething good or bad Before we
press on with this whole marblefriend definition, because I

(09:37):
don't know.
I don't know what these, Idon't know what a marble friend
is.
So I looked it up.
So a marble friend is someoneyou share hard stories with,
things that are happening to youand you fill up their marble
draw with advice andcommunication and you know being
someone that is that has theirback, so to speak.
They keep your secrets, youtell them secrets and they

(09:57):
remember your birthday, rememberthe last part.
So, marble friend.
So we became marble friendsbecause we communicated real
well.
We, we talk like normally.
We were talking, say hey, howyou doing so, you're like I'm
fine, and then that would turninto like a 15, 20 minute
conversation and that happenedmultiple times.
You know, we would develop abond because we work in the same

(10:21):
facility, things like that I'llfix, or something for
Thanksgiving.
We would share lindors and allthat stuff and and we would, you
know, buy each other gifts forour birthdays.
So this has been going on forabout two to three years since
we've been, you know, since weknow each other, every year I

(10:42):
make sure she gets something forher birthday.
I'll even go and get a list andsay, hey, look, you know what's
your favorite this, what's yourfavorite color, what's your
favorite this.
She fills it out, no problem.
And you know, I get some thingson it Dr Pepper, lindor,
chocolates what Marvel friendsdo.
That's what we do.
So this year I went above andbeyond.

(11:04):
I got something every day thatweek of her birthday leading up
to her birthday Boom, boom, boom, bang, bang, bang.
She got got, got right.
So I planned ahead.
No problem, that's what I do.
You know, marvel friend, when itcomes to my birthday, it's been
, it's been, it's been thisStraight crickets.

(11:27):
Now, mind you, life has beenbusy.
She's had things going on, I'vehad things going on.
So you know, that's expected,but that's, that's almost like
three, three months ago.
Right, I understand, thingshappen and I'm, I'm, I'm a all
understanding individual, like,like, okay, I get that.
You know, life happens, I getit, that's been three months ago

(11:51):
.
I'm like hold on Marvel friend,I give her, I like, I give her
a side.
I, every time I see her nowlike yo, okay, miss Marvel
friend, we're coming up towards,we're coming up towards April,
what's going on?
And she's like yeah well, I got,I overthink things and I I

(12:14):
wanted to send you this, Iwanted to get you this, but then
I over, overanalyzed and Ididn't do it.
So, okay, well, uh, well, it'salmost April, so we need to, uh,
we need to get me something.
Marvel friend, like, hey,marvel, that's what I say, hey,
marvel friend, and we need to dosomething.
So so she sends me ideas thatyou know, I like, like one of

(12:36):
the things that she sent me wasthe ice cream fried chicken.
And my brain does notcomprehend that, because if I
see a bucket of fried chicken,I'm expecting that to be warm.
If I bite into that friedchicken, I might freeze my teeth
off, because I'm a I'm a gohardcore bite, bite into that
ice cream fried chicken, and youknow that might not be in my

(12:59):
mental.
I'm thinking hot, hot chicken,and this is cold ice cream.
I can't do that.
No, no, no, no, no.
She could be sending me ideasand I just, I just shoot them
down.
And I'm shooting them down onpurpose, because this is almost
April and I still ain't gotnothing.
Okay, marvel friend.
So so I'm still waiting, we'llsee.
She's saying something like uh,we're going to celebrate at

(13:21):
your half birthday Right now.
You someone tell me you look itup, when is your half birthday?
You can.
Is that a Google thing?
What is a half birthday?
So we'll see what my Marvelfriend does.
So, going back to the originalpoint with the straight finger
and everything, remember thatshe sees me and she's like I
need to talk to you.

(13:41):
So there's me and anotherperson in the hallway and she
has a serious face on that I'venever seen before.
I'm like, okay, the guy that'snext to you.
So, yeah, I got to go and he'spune.
Does the road runner Beep, beepout of here, okay, okay.
So she pulls me into her office.
She says I am disappointed inyou.

(14:01):
I said, wow, I ain't hadsomeone say that to me in a very
long time.
And like I'm a military, youknow I'm a veteran, I'm a
military.
You can't shake the exterior,the hardcore exterior, to get to
me, to my interior, to make mefeel like bad.
She's like I'm disappointed inyou.
I said this is coming out ofthat field because I don't know

(14:23):
what I did.
I mean, I'm over in anotherfacility.
You don't see me.
I don't know what you'retalking about.
She said I saw what you said onsocial media.
I expect better from a leaderlike you.
I said, ooh, you got me.
You got me because one of thethings that I am very proud of
is my military leadership.

(14:43):
And she, once she said that, Isaid, ooh, we, so that is.
That is 100% accurate.
So you let that person down,you let me down and you let
yourself down.
I said, wow, she is going in onme.
I never, I never, had someonedig that deep on me and like she
knows me, but she don't know methat well, because, again, I'm

(15:06):
military.
You can't.
My exterior is is armored clad.
You can't get to this.
You can't get to the interiorthrough the exterior.
You know, once she said that, Iwas like yo, immediately, sorry
, I immediately apologizedbecause I threw this through
this person underneath under thebus and I did.
I was frustrated, I admit that,and I should have thought better

(15:30):
of my words and everything.
So I apologize.
I apologize.
I took it down and it made merethink my situation, like I
shouldn't have done that,because it wasn't his fault that
he was putting that situation.
We all make mistakes.
So I took it down.
I apologize.
I had to walk across streetrethinking like myself, like

(15:52):
evaluating myself and not to dothings that you know that would
damage somebody's, will hurtsomebody's feelings or damage
somebody.
So I took that to heart.
I don't get my handed to me bymy the DON across the street.
I come across and then I got tospeech therapist let's talk
about.
Well, I don't know what she,what you talking about, because
you didn't got no mic.
I said, oh we, here's the thingwith the speech therapist.

(16:15):
She's athletically built, allright.
So she got she cheeky at best.
Cheeky at best, that's allshe's getting from me.
Cheeky, that's it.
And I look at her and like youknow what I know, like you and
your DNA, because you're withyour cousin and she cheekless,
right, she cheekless.
So it goes from cheeky tocheekless.

(16:36):
Something wrong with your DNA,because this don't make no sense
Either way.
You attacking me and now, if youlisten previously to episodes,
this has been one of my, one ofmy weaknesses.
I've struggled to develop bootycheeks.
Right, it's hard for me.
It's like I don't understandwhy it hurts so bad to develop
some booty cheeks.
I want booty cheeks.

(16:57):
You won't booty cheeks, okay,it's just hard.
To develop Chest arms yeah, allthat is easy to build, but
booty cheeks is just one of thethings that can't.
I can't do so on top of the D O,n, two out on top of the speech
therapist saying I'm I'mcheekless, I'm like I'm come
home and I'm defeated.
And I come home to the surprisemy mama's here, okay, my mom's

(17:22):
here, you know, when mama's here, it's, it's all.
You know.
My mom's here, you know.
You get back to that childhoodfeeling.
My mom was here.
I'm happy, I'm like, mom, whatyou doing here?
So as I come in the door, as Icome in the door, you know,
greet my family, everything.
I look over to my mama.
My mama has your dacity to saythis you just haven't got no

(17:43):
butt.
See what you don't start.
You see what you don't start.
Is you started this thismorning?
Now my own mama has said itagain I'm 50% your DNA.
You ain't got no butt.
Yeah, it's shocked, see that?
So I immediately I'm reallytext speech therapist.
I said look man, this is allyour fault, that my mama is

(18:06):
going in on me.
I can't believe.
So that's it.
So y'all ain't gonna be talkingabout me and my cheekless self.
I mean, I got some cheeks, butI need, obviously I need more,
because it's looking like anextended back, apparently, and
I'm sick of it.
I said you know what?
