Speaker 1 (00:00):
Currently skiing with the family. One small elevator in the building.
The restaurant. It sounds like, and again they don't have
pictures or anything like that, but it sounds like it's
like what do they call like those old like not
not like chaleise or something like an old ski lodge
or something. Currently skiing with the family. One small elevator
(00:22):
in the building. The restaurant is five floors down from
our floor. Fine, we got in, started going down and
on the next level down we stopped and a couple
got on. Now he doesn't say how big his family is, okay,
(00:43):
just that his family was skiing and they stopped.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
But should we be keeping notes? Is this like a
math problem? Whose stomach just went me? Eat something? Oh,
I've got a lollipop. Yeah, you can keep notes.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Okay, so family of X, because we don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
We don't know, right, I'm assuming four.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
And then who gets on couple? Does that mean too?
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Okay, yeah it's a man and a woman, all right,
all right, Okay, the weight alarm went off and they
both just stood there pressing the button for the restaurant.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
What does the weight alarms out?
Speaker 3 (01:29):
I've never I didn't know there was such a thing.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I mean you see the sign up at the top
of the elevator about.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Never had the alarm go off? No, me neither, starting
to make the sound and then change.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Come on, No, I didn't know that there was a
thing like that. You see the signs in every elevator
where it's like thirty five pounds or something. Does this
seems like it's much?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
It's much, Smar Yeah, no, no, but like, okay, no, please.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
The tell me pull up a sound tell me what
this would sound like.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Doesn't it sound like Christen? Have you ever heard it?
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
These do it. It's like.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
And that's specifically because the doors closed so slowly, so
they allow you to still ride even though the alarm
is going off.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Yeah. I've definitely ridden in them. It's just the.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Okay, Diane, I don't think if it's fifteen hundred, I
don't think I get on and they go, well, we
were only at five hundred.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
It maybe like when there's stuff being transported. Yesterday when
we left there was a shopping cart. Yeah, that's right,
so that added to our combined weights, right, like we're
at tag team.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I don't know to understand how that's possible. You guys
have never been overweight in an elevator. Anyway, weight alarm
went off and they both stood there just pressing the
button for the restaurant. Now, unlike what I just described,
where the doors closed slowly. They then realized that nothing
(03:14):
was happening. So this elevator is not moving, which also
leads you to know this is an older elevator and
a smaller elevator. But you sort of described then realizing
that nothing was happening, the lady just turned around and
(03:35):
faced the wall of the elevator. So I said, oh,
it's the weight alarm, and neither of them move. So
then I said out loud, it's cool, all walk downstairs,
(03:58):
instead thinking that she might.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Say, oh no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
You know what, that's the prompt, right. Anyway, I got
downstairs before then my god, she came out of the
elevator and pushed past me to get into the restaurant.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
First classy. Yeah. Now, I don't think I meant might
at first.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I'm gonna I'm gonna be very honest, right, my mind went,
this is a biggin both of them, like they're both
big people.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I don't think that because if this is oh, I
went right there a.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Weight limit under one thousand pounds with this capacity elevator,
and you're up to six people.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Now you're you're there easily. Elevators aren't a thousand pounds?
Aren't an elevator said, it's an older place.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Elevator is probably less than I bet it's only triple digits.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
You think it's nine hundred pounds.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
No way, no way, I wouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
And by the way, let's let's say it's one thousand pounds.
They got two kids, they're small. I don't know how
old the kids are.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
I don't what if they're like eighteen year old kids.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
So then they each weigh buck twenty buck fifty.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Get one of our elevator friends on the line, and
they always help with questions like this, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
I imagine that he and she are Biggins, which is
why they wouldn't get out of the elevator. Why are
you turning around and facing the wall? I know why,
because you're embarrassed. And why are you embarrassed.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Because they and f But but you threw in a
detail at the end there that I.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Think, oh, classy, classy.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
It's a rude person and rude knows no weight. So
because of the way they acted down at the restaurant,
I don't think that they're shame aimed and staying on
the elevator.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
No, I just think that they're big and fat and
they're not gonna get off like they know they're fat.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Oh like they won't use the stairs, well can't okay,
can't use the stairs, but also won't wait for the
elevator to come back.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Wait the next one. You wait for the next one. Listen,
worry the moving or we're not.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
No, I'm saying like they should what they should have
done when by the way, wait alarm went off?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Right?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Is I know what I would have done. I would
have gone right back into my room, like you don't
deserve dinner.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
See but now now that's twofold christ. Will you find
me an elevator person please? Eight six six to Elliot
eight six six two three five five four six eight.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
You're right.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
We we generally get a good elevator tech or something. Yeah,
that'll know. Eight six six to Elliot eight six six
two three five five four six eight.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
See, but you're going two different ways.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Like you you're saying I would have gone back into
my room and been like, you don't deserve to eat.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I would have been embarrassed.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
But that's you're assuming that it's not a case of
you're assuming it's a case of being fat, because as
opposed to I do, but as opposed to Tyler, who's like, well,
there's six of them and the weight limit is probably
one hundred pounds, and so.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
It went over.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
They just barely, So you could be you could be
skinny mini, and you set it over like you could
be that one drops over the glass still fed.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
It embarrassing the so you would be embarrassed. I would
have gotten off the elevator.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Okay, but you could get off the elevator even if
you were even if you weigh forty pounds.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Right, right, but still get off the elevator.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
But you don't. You're not that person. If you turn
around and face the wall, that's embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
That is somebody who's who's mortified about their size.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
They're not. If they were mortified, they would have gotten off.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
But they're turning. No, what do you mean that's what
I mean?
Speaker 3 (07:49):
No, No, I'm saying I don't think someone of a
larger carriage can turn.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Okay, can we stop. They can turn, they can turn.
You don't think fat people can turn? Turn?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
No, you don't think a fat person. Sorry, the customer
of size can do this.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
That's genericized. It's an elevator, not in a cramped space. Well, okay,
you don't know, Like it's not like I would love
to see how big this elevator was with bellying into
you to turn with this attitude. I think she's hot.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Oh okay, it's sexy. Yeah, okay, I always say it.
There are people that are into it. I don't think
so you.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
I really don't think this.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Between belly and ass, she can't turn.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
I don't think it is a larger person. Oh god, yes,
you are convinced only because you don't think this weight
limit is going to be as low as we're going
to hear it is.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I don't think it's that low.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Again, I'm telling you, I bet they.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Don't make elevators with the weight limit that and don't
unless it's like one of those old ones where you
got to pull the screen.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Door the accordion. If this thing's running on power, it's
it's twelve fifteen hundred pounds or kilograms. Not the way
it was explained. Well, no, just that they they it's
a small elevator in the building.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Because it reminds me to remember the story about now
it was it was overseas, but the internet friend came
to visit. Was it in the Netherlands?
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Is this the one where they tried to jump out
the bathroom window after making a dump?
Speaker 3 (09:31):
No, he didn't remember.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Stuck between the two window, she.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Couldn't make it up the narrow staircases.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Oh, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
And she thought that he invited her back there to
make fun of her.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
No, no, I don't think they'd ever seen each other before. Yeah,
oh remember he after she said that she would go
find a hotel, he offered to pay for.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Oh, that's right, that's right. Yeah, that was sad. That
was sad.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
But reread the first sentence too.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Currently skiing with the family. One small elevator in the building.
The restaurant is five floors down from our floor. That's
the other thing, five floors down. So then they got
on on the fourth floor with four floors remaining big
and ain't walking four flights.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
But just they say small elevator. We got in started
going down.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
In the next level, a couple got on wait, alarm
went off, and they both stood there just pressing the
button for the restaurant.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Then I'm gonna do nothing, go to the roofaurant.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
And then when they got down there, she she like
high seed through the wall to get into the into
the restaurant.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Now cool aid. Now won't say much. Right's been there.
I took the stairs. But what old did they have?
They got off? I understand that, but because oh no,
I think set off the alarm, mostly because they were
like this writer.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Right, like the rider and got off and went downstairs.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
So they also let the other person stay.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Can I ask you this, Okay, Diane, the three of us,
the three of us are are going to use the other.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I'm gonna make Tyler be the third one in.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
You and I are we're on a date, right, we're well, no,
we're just on the elevator. You don't know if we're
dating or not. Tyler doesn't know we're on the elevator.
As a matter of fact, me, Kristen and Diana are
on the elevator. Door opens, you get on, you get
on the alarm, The wight alarm starts ringing.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Yeah, what do you do? I would step out no matter.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
What yes, because I'm the last one on a nice
person and I don't like confrontations, and there shouldn't be confrontation.
I should be the one stepping off the no.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
But I also think part of it, this is what
makes me think that she's fat, is that the no,
I'm being serious, is that is that you can't if
you saw, if you saw a biggin you know, they're
not going to take the stairs. So we're not moving.
They may step off, but we're not moving. So I
(12:05):
can take the stairs. I'm not the biggest big taking
the stairs.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
That's the chivalrous thing to do. What's that take the stairs?
I think after you No, No, I.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Think it's the I think it's the the necessity thing
to do.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Who's gonna take the stairs?
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Somebody somebody who is is normal size or somebody who's.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Massive probably default to the normal.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Yeah, exactly, thank you. That's why.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
That's why she turned around and looked at the wall
and was like, I know, because you're embarrassed. Oh she's
a bit the No, she's embarrassed that she can't take
the stairs.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
And that's okay. I mean, listen, I'm not asking her
to not be embarrassed. I'm not mad at her. I'm
just saying she's big married.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Yeah, I've looked at an elevator mentally weighed those people
and then waited for the next If you're a biggen,
you know what you can and cannot do. Hashtag hold on?
Hashtag no wicker chairs.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
See, by the way, can I thank them? And I
don't even know who it is, but thank you?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
No, you know what that is. That's a biggin who
knows they're a biggin.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Yeah. But they're suggesting that this person is probably not overweight.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
No, oh no, I don't think so.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
I think they were like, we know, look at us.
We know.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
No, they're saying, we know not to get on. Yes,
we wait, they wait, but these people aren't waiting. The
restaurant is where they're going. Oh great, Oh it's it's
a stereotype.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Hashtag no wicker chairs. Is that a big thing for
fat people? Actually?
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Speaking of chairs, a lot of chair talks today. Well,
remember there was the tantra chair.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Oh, the decks at the country club. I have a
lot of things going on here.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
But I'm six three and on the porkier side, so heavy,
not so heavy, but so I'm heavy. Once had a
chair break under me at a restaurant. I was mortified.
If an elevator weight alarm ever goes off on me,
I'm getting off, going straight to the car, going home,
(14:25):
never to see anyone there again. But then who had
the question? Hold on, oh, here we go, and and
you gave us the backdrop, You gave us the setting.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Right. Do fat people even ski?
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Oh? Okay, yes, that was the Just.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Because they're at a lodge doesn't mean they're skiing.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
No. And you know how I know that because I
was shocked when I learned how many fat people are
swim coaches. That related the no, because there was a
fat person, like a real that sounds horrible to say,
there was a a large person, thank you, Kristin, who
was giving at No. This was at the Providence rec Center.
(15:06):
Remember they had two things there.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
They had the fat swim coach and the band aids.
But I was I was shocked that that's who was
giving swim lessons. And that's when I learned that that
a lot of fat people give swim lessons. Okay, we're
talking about skiing.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
You sidetracked?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
No, no, no, no. But that's how I'm got best
friends with Warren Miller. I did get free squee quit what.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
No.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
But but that's when I learned that also a lot
of fat people ski.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
I mean I don't ski, so I don't have any
experience on the slopes.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
I don't ski either, but I would assume, Hey, Kristin, okay,
I've got elevator people. I also need people that ski
to confirm that there's some asses up on the But
I don't mean people who are jackasses. I mean who
got ass up on the up on the up on
the mountain.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
And Ira right, by the way, of course fat people
ski like that's good, Ira rights.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
You can also be big and a bitch.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Let me say I'm not. I'm not. I'm not being
critical of somebody's weight, not at all.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Now, Tanita asks, why would the user not mention them
being overweight? I promise if it was the case, it
would have been mentioned.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Maybe they're like me and you don't. That doesn't matter.
You sign Hi Ellie in the morning. Yeah, Hi, what
can I do for you?
Speaker 5 (16:48):
So this is kind of like a fear of mine.
It's not the whole weight alarm thing going off. But
I'm I'm like a pretty large person on six foot seven,
about two hundred and seventy pounds.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Sometimes, by the way, you're not a fat guy at all.
You're I mean, you're a big guy, don't get me wrong,
but you're not You're not a big fat guy.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
People getting on an elevator with me, I don't get
on there.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Wait say that again.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
If there's more than three people getting on an elevator
with me, like and I eyeball, they're pushing the velveand
compared with me, I'm not getting on there.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Wow. Do you really?
Speaker 5 (17:20):
Yeah, it's just one of those things, like you don't
survive an elevator falling. So I'm good, I'll take the stairs.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
And so but you eyeball, Hey, do you do that?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Like I've never I've never eyeballed to get onto an elevator.
But I'm also not six seven to seventy Is that
is that a has it happened before? Or is that
just when you're when you're I mean again, I keep saying.
I hate saying you're a big guy, but you are
a big dude. Do you just look and go. I
have to be cognizant of this.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Oh, absolutely, even with chairs. I've broken some chairs and
it's not like again, it's not like I'm obese or anything.
It's just they're a lot things have weight limits that
are like two hundred twenty two fifty and I'm like,
I know I'm over that, so I just don't even
mess with them.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Wow, you know what, you know what makes me feel bad?
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Now?
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Well this is before you didn't see size.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
No, I still, well, now I'm going to see size
for this statement like that that we take that for granted, right,
there's a there's a whole population again, not you, sir,
but there's a whole population like if you're if you're
a five hundred pounder, yeah, like you got to be
thinking about that NonStop.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
Yes, oh yeah, even like roller coasters and stuff. I
almost blew my back out completely. They were like, no,
you're good, You're good, And I definitely was not good
height wise everything. So I avoid stuff that if it's close,
I'm like, I'm good.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
No point. Do you ski?
Speaker 5 (18:52):
I used to and I used to snowboard after that.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
A lot of fat people on a mountain.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
Not really especially skiing.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
All right, all right, very good, thank you sir, thank you.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
But you said, like with swim instructors, don't a lot
of times people larger people will do like water aerobics
because it's easier on the joints.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
She wasn't teaching water robics.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
She was teaching she was experienced in the pool the okay,
But it wasn't like I'll be there in a second.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
I'm just finishing up water aerobics. I just remember she
got in the pool. I was like, you're what But
maybe maybe I'm wrong. W Ross writes, fat people don't ski?
Why is that miscad? That's unfair? Why they have the
(19:44):
inner tubes?
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Come on, that's me, that's me, I would think, being honest,
like Dian, Dian was trying to soften it up there
with like water aerobics because it's easier.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
On the joint.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
True, I would think skiing is great for heavy people
as exercise.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
It's a rough sport unless you're gonna tell me like
the chair is a problem. Oh is there a limit
on those? A lot of drags bar No matter what
I say, it's gonna be worse over there.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
The ski lift chair weight limit usually is between two
hundred and fifty pounds and and for a heavy duty
model five hundred.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Wait, so is that per per at the low end.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
That's then that's a solo chair because like the the
like two people couldn't get on that, two people couldn't
get on, two kids, the people, the two people can't
get on two hundred and fifty pounds.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Who that weighs one hundred and twenty five pounds.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Some resorts post individual limits even if it looks like
the chair could technically hold more.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Why are you laughing at that?
Speaker 3 (21:11):
The carousel bench?
Speaker 1 (21:14):
The no, no, but that you can't like five hundred
that like, that's good.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
So if you don't believe that, you're not going to
believe some of these numbers that came in from what
I'm assuming you're elevator people.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
What's that they think?
Speaker 3 (21:25):
This elevator was probably a seven fifty zero chain wait limit.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Never seen that my life, Never seen that.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Mulied restaurants and residential. That's usually the high end.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Seven point fifty in a residential.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Not an apartment building for people who install them in
their homes.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Oh okay, well where am I going? Line three? Hi?
Elliot in the morning.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
Excuse me?
Speaker 1 (21:53):
I told you I could win five billion dollars. I
would never own a house with an elevator. I would
never own a house with an elevator, like unless I
was like an invalid or something.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
Hi, who's this, Hey, this is Doug from Leesburg.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yes, sir, what can I do for you?
Speaker 6 (22:08):
Well? What if the people that originally got on the
elevator with big ones themselves and the people that have
gone on afterwards with a skinny ones, so they thought
the others should get off?
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Okay, but I'm willing to go there, but the script,
I'm willing to go there with you. But you would
never expect that. Okay, So you and your wife are
getting on and I'm fat, I'm fat, my wife is fat,
my kids are my kids like you could tell we're
not an exercising family.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Well, we're not here to see you. We're not here
for the restaurants.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Had an elevator home, and you and your wife, who
were both you know, svelt one fifty one ten, get
on and the thing goes off. You're not expecting me
and my my fat wife to get off and go
down the stairs.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Of course you're getting off.
Speaker 6 (22:56):
Well, if they're a bit biased to people that are
on the heavy side, they're gonna saying, well, why should
I get off on fitting Swell?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Yeah, phobic. Yeah no, but also I was the first
one on.
Speaker 6 (23:10):
Yeah. But again, why why are they saying I don't
have an issue with my weight? So it's not me
that's causing this problem. There could be five of us
at this weight.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Yeah no, but it's the fat seagulls that are weighing
it down.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
By the way, can I ask this? Can I ask this?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
If you so let's say, yeah, well whatever, dude, I'm eating.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Can I ask you this? Hey, thank you sir.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
We heard from the two seventy guy who eyeballs everybody.
Would it be horrible if you hit the elevator button
and the door open and it was the fat seagulls
and you were like hmm and you were skinny, but
you were like, no, I'm not getting on with you.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
That looks bad.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
But I feel like people in a because then it.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Looks bad like you're going, hey, you know, I'm I'm
gonna put us my little idiot biddy weight's gonna put
us over and really highlight you.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
But all of us, no matter our sives, have been
in both situations where we've been on the elevator or
waiting for the elevator and waved off or.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Only if it's crowded.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
It's if you're at that weight, are you telling me
that they carry it well and you can't tell.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
No, it's crowded. No, but it only holds seven fifty's.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
It's going to going to a peer crowded. That to
me would not be a big deal. Oh really, there
are all of these broken chair stories hard to identify
with if you've never had it happen to you, And
you could do a whole day based on how many
messages there's been for elevators passing by like that happens
to all the time.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Oh but to me, only when it's crowded.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
If I looked in there and I saw three biggies,
I wouldn't think I would be like, hey, slide it
in here.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
I come by the way.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
I don't like hearing I don't like hearing chair breaking stories.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
It's that makes me feel bad.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
But there's good company if you shared it or we're
thinking about it. Had never wanted to share it, Like listen,
I used to move from earlier with the mace.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
I worked with the dude who broke up stools all
the time because he was so big trying to sit on.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Yeah, that's humiliating and sad and you feel but he
didn't care.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
He'd still come in every week with two boxes of
taco bell boxes boxes.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Rachel writes, we ski a good bit.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
I have never said, oh wait on the mountain, but
can I read my favorite favorite comment on the original story. Yes,
I would have door dashed food to that fin elevator
first before ever moving. That's not just because it involves DoorDash,
(25:56):
but that sort of stubbornness and it actually not stubbornness,
just thinking you're in the right. Yes, yes, big adamant
that this is not right. I'm going to stand here
and protest what you're trying to do.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
I would have done that, and especially in front of
my family, who I can't turn around and see.
Speaker 6 (26:14):
Hi, Elliot the morning Elliott.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
It's Jr. From Frederick.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Hey, what's up? Jr?
Speaker 4 (26:20):
I am riding a scare ski lift right now and
the chars can hold a lot more than would you say?
Two fifty Wait where are you now? I'm up in
Bear Creek, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Are you serious? And you're skiing right now?
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Listening to my favorite show, thank You.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
I'm talking to one of my favorite listeners. That's that's awesome.
A take a look around.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
You see a lot of biggins any biggins?
Speaker 4 (26:46):
No, No, I guess so I guess.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Maybe that's the case. So fat people don't ski Elliott.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
I mean I'm not I'm not all that light, but
I mean these chairs got to some of these chairs
hold four or five six people.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
So all the way, are you liking a gondola six people?
Speaker 4 (27:04):
No, just a regular old ski shair. They're really big.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
And they hold six for two d If I saw
six people who combined it in weigh two fifty, I'd
be like, you guys, gotta eat this seriously, start eating,
or I'm gonna do a telephone.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Yeah, the gondolas. The gondolas can put thirty with thirty
people in some of those.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Yeah, those are those are enormous. That's what I thought
you meant was a two person share. Oh yeah, no,
if you if you're doing.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Sixteen style chairs, now bigger than that, gotcha?
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Gotcha? Hey how long do you scan for?
Speaker 4 (27:40):
Still? I'll be driving back to Frederick's afternoon.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Good for you, Good for you, all right, dude, Hey
have fun, have fun.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Wow. So in the moment, that's awesome, that's great.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Pop over and ski a little while and then go
back home, go back to work.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
I have a buddy who does that.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
He'll go he'll go scan for a couple hours in
the morning and then go work in the afternoon.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Where does he live?
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Just outside of Philly. I guess if that's your hobby. Yeah,
loves it. Some people play off. Yeah, some people ski.
Fat people don't ski.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
By the way, no, don't get mad, because from the
beginning I was like, fat.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
People definitely ski. Actually, yeah, you were on that side. Listen.
I'll defend fat people all day.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
It just fat people don't ski. Sounds like the new
version of birds aren't real.
Currently skiing with the family. One small elevator in the building.
The restaurant. It sounds like, and again they don't have
pictures or anything like that, but it sounds like it's
like what do they call like those old like not
not like chaleise or something like an old ski lodge
or something. Currently skiing with the family. One small elevator
(00:22):
in the building. The restaurant is five floors down from
our floor. Fine, we got in, started going down and
on the next level down we stopped and a couple
got on. Now he doesn't say how big his family is, okay,
(00:43):
just that his family was skiing and they stopped.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
But should we be keeping notes? Is this like a
math problem? Whose stomach just went me? Eat something? Oh,
I've got a lollipop. Yeah, you can keep notes.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Okay, so family of X, because we don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
We don't know, right, I'm assuming four.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
And then who gets on couple? Does that mean too?
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Okay, yeah it's a man and a woman, all right,
all right, Okay, the weight alarm went off and they
both just stood there pressing the button for the restaurant.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
What does the weight alarms out?
Speaker 3 (01:29):
I've never I didn't know there was such a thing.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I mean you see the sign up at the top
of the elevator about.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Never had the alarm go off? No, me neither, starting
to make the sound and then change.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Come on, No, I didn't know that there was a
thing like that. You see the signs in every elevator
where it's like thirty five pounds or something. Does this
seems like it's much?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
It's much, Smar Yeah, no, no, but like, okay, no, please.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
The tell me pull up a sound tell me what
this would sound like.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Doesn't it sound like Christen? Have you ever heard it?
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
These do it. It's like.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
And that's specifically because the doors closed so slowly, so
they allow you to still ride even though the alarm
is going off.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Yeah. I've definitely ridden in them. It's just the.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Okay, Diane, I don't think if it's fifteen hundred, I
don't think I get on and they go, well, we
were only at five hundred.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
It maybe like when there's stuff being transported. Yesterday when
we left there was a shopping cart. Yeah, that's right,
so that added to our combined weights, right, like we're
at tag team.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I don't know to understand how that's possible. You guys
have never been overweight in an elevator. Anyway, weight alarm
went off and they both stood there just pressing the
button for the restaurant. Now, unlike what I just described,
where the doors closed slowly. They then realized that nothing
(03:14):
was happening. So this elevator is not moving, which also
leads you to know this is an older elevator and
a smaller elevator. But you sort of described then realizing
that nothing was happening, the lady just turned around and
(03:35):
faced the wall of the elevator. So I said, oh,
it's the weight alarm, and neither of them move. So
then I said out loud, it's cool, all walk downstairs,
(03:58):
instead thinking that she might.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Say, oh no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
You know what, that's the prompt, right. Anyway, I got
downstairs before then my god, she came out of the
elevator and pushed past me to get into the restaurant.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
First classy. Yeah. Now, I don't think I meant might
at first.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I'm gonna I'm gonna be very honest, right, my mind went,
this is a biggin both of them, like they're both
big people.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I don't think that because if this is oh, I
went right there a.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Weight limit under one thousand pounds with this capacity elevator,
and you're up to six people.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Now you're you're there easily. Elevators aren't a thousand pounds?
Aren't an elevator said, it's an older place.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Elevator is probably less than I bet it's only triple digits.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
You think it's nine hundred pounds.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
No way, no way, I wouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
And by the way, let's let's say it's one thousand pounds.
They got two kids, they're small. I don't know how
old the kids are.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
I don't what if they're like eighteen year old kids.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
So then they each weigh buck twenty buck fifty.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Get one of our elevator friends on the line, and
they always help with questions like this, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
I imagine that he and she are Biggins, which is
why they wouldn't get out of the elevator. Why are
you turning around and facing the wall? I know why,
because you're embarrassed. And why are you embarrassed.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Because they and f But but you threw in a
detail at the end there that I.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Think, oh, classy, classy.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
It's a rude person and rude knows no weight. So
because of the way they acted down at the restaurant,
I don't think that they're shame aimed and staying on
the elevator.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
No, I just think that they're big and fat and
they're not gonna get off like they know they're fat.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Oh like they won't use the stairs, well can't okay,
can't use the stairs, but also won't wait for the
elevator to come back.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Wait the next one. You wait for the next one. Listen,
worry the moving or we're not.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
No, I'm saying like they should what they should have
done when by the way, wait alarm went off?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Right?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Is I know what I would have done. I would
have gone right back into my room, like you don't
deserve dinner.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
See but now now that's twofold christ. Will you find
me an elevator person please? Eight six six to Elliot
eight six six two three five five four six eight.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
You're right.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
We we generally get a good elevator tech or something. Yeah,
that'll know. Eight six six to Elliot eight six six
two three five five four six eight.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
See, but you're going two different ways.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Like you you're saying I would have gone back into
my room and been like, you don't deserve to eat.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I would have been embarrassed.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
But that's you're assuming that it's not a case of
you're assuming it's a case of being fat, because as
opposed to I do, but as opposed to Tyler, who's like, well,
there's six of them and the weight limit is probably
one hundred pounds, and so.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
It went over.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
They just barely, So you could be you could be
skinny mini, and you set it over like you could
be that one drops over the glass still fed.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
It embarrassing the so you would be embarrassed. I would
have gotten off the elevator.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Okay, but you could get off the elevator even if
you were even if you weigh forty pounds.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Right, right, but still get off the elevator.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
But you don't. You're not that person. If you turn
around and face the wall, that's embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
That is somebody who's who's mortified about their size.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
They're not. If they were mortified, they would have gotten off.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
But they're turning. No, what do you mean that's what
I mean?
Speaker 3 (07:49):
No, No, I'm saying I don't think someone of a
larger carriage can turn.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Okay, can we stop. They can turn, they can turn.
You don't think fat people can turn? Turn?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
No, you don't think a fat person. Sorry, the customer
of size can do this.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
That's genericized. It's an elevator, not in a cramped space. Well, okay,
you don't know, Like it's not like I would love
to see how big this elevator was with bellying into
you to turn with this attitude. I think she's hot.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Oh okay, it's sexy. Yeah, okay, I always say it.
There are people that are into it. I don't think
so you.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
I really don't think this.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Between belly and ass, she can't turn.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
I don't think it is a larger person. Oh god, yes,
you are convinced only because you don't think this weight
limit is going to be as low as we're going
to hear it is.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I don't think it's that low.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Again, I'm telling you, I bet they.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Don't make elevators with the weight limit that and don't
unless it's like one of those old ones where you
got to pull the screen.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Door the accordion. If this thing's running on power, it's
it's twelve fifteen hundred pounds or kilograms. Not the way
it was explained. Well, no, just that they they it's
a small elevator in the building.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Because it reminds me to remember the story about now
it was it was overseas, but the internet friend came
to visit. Was it in the Netherlands?
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Is this the one where they tried to jump out
the bathroom window after making a dump?
Speaker 3 (09:31):
No, he didn't remember.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Stuck between the two window, she.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Couldn't make it up the narrow staircases.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Oh, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
And she thought that he invited her back there to
make fun of her.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
No, no, I don't think they'd ever seen each other before. Yeah,
oh remember he after she said that she would go
find a hotel, he offered to pay for.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Oh, that's right, that's right. Yeah, that was sad. That
was sad.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
But reread the first sentence too.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Currently skiing with the family. One small elevator in the building.
The restaurant is five floors down from our floor. That's
the other thing, five floors down. So then they got
on on the fourth floor with four floors remaining big
and ain't walking four flights.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
But just they say small elevator. We got in started
going down.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
In the next level, a couple got on wait, alarm
went off, and they both stood there just pressing the
button for the restaurant.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Then I'm gonna do nothing, go to the roofaurant.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
And then when they got down there, she she like
high seed through the wall to get into the into
the restaurant.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Now cool aid. Now won't say much. Right's been there.
I took the stairs. But what old did they have?
They got off? I understand that, but because oh no,
I think set off the alarm, mostly because they were
like this writer.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Right, like the rider and got off and went downstairs.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
So they also let the other person stay.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Can I ask you this, Okay, Diane, the three of us,
the three of us are are going to use the other.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I'm gonna make Tyler be the third one in.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
You and I are we're on a date, right, we're well, no,
we're just on the elevator. You don't know if we're
dating or not. Tyler doesn't know we're on the elevator.
As a matter of fact, me, Kristen and Diana are
on the elevator. Door opens, you get on, you get
on the alarm, The wight alarm starts ringing.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Yeah, what do you do? I would step out no matter.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
What yes, because I'm the last one on a nice
person and I don't like confrontations, and there shouldn't be confrontation.
I should be the one stepping off the no.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
But I also think part of it, this is what
makes me think that she's fat, is that the no,
I'm being serious, is that is that you can't if
you saw, if you saw a biggin you know, they're
not going to take the stairs. So we're not moving.
They may step off, but we're not moving. So I
(12:05):
can take the stairs. I'm not the biggest big taking
the stairs.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
That's the chivalrous thing to do. What's that take the stairs?
I think after you No, No, I.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Think it's the I think it's the the necessity thing
to do.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Who's gonna take the stairs?
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Somebody somebody who is is normal size or somebody who's.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Massive probably default to the normal.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Yeah, exactly, thank you. That's why.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
That's why she turned around and looked at the wall
and was like, I know, because you're embarrassed. Oh she's
a bit the No, she's embarrassed that she can't take
the stairs.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
And that's okay. I mean, listen, I'm not asking her
to not be embarrassed. I'm not mad at her. I'm
just saying she's big married.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Yeah, I've looked at an elevator mentally weighed those people
and then waited for the next If you're a biggen,
you know what you can and cannot do. Hashtag hold on?
Hashtag no wicker chairs.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
See, by the way, can I thank them? And I
don't even know who it is, but thank you?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
No, you know what that is. That's a biggin who
knows they're a biggin.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Yeah. But they're suggesting that this person is probably not overweight.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
No, oh no, I don't think so.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
I think they were like, we know, look at us.
We know.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
No, they're saying, we know not to get on. Yes,
we wait, they wait, but these people aren't waiting. The
restaurant is where they're going. Oh great, Oh it's it's
a stereotype.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Hashtag no wicker chairs. Is that a big thing for
fat people? Actually?
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Speaking of chairs, a lot of chair talks today. Well,
remember there was the tantra chair.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Oh, the decks at the country club. I have a
lot of things going on here.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
But I'm six three and on the porkier side, so heavy,
not so heavy, but so I'm heavy. Once had a
chair break under me at a restaurant. I was mortified.
If an elevator weight alarm ever goes off on me,
I'm getting off, going straight to the car, going home,
(14:25):
never to see anyone there again. But then who had
the question? Hold on, oh, here we go, and and
you gave us the backdrop, You gave us the setting.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Right. Do fat people even ski?
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Oh? Okay, yes, that was the Just.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Because they're at a lodge doesn't mean they're skiing.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
No. And you know how I know that because I
was shocked when I learned how many fat people are
swim coaches. That related the no, because there was a
fat person, like a real that sounds horrible to say,
there was a a large person, thank you, Kristin, who
was giving at No. This was at the Providence rec Center.
(15:06):
Remember they had two things there.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
They had the fat swim coach and the band aids.
But I was I was shocked that that's who was
giving swim lessons. And that's when I learned that that
a lot of fat people give swim lessons. Okay, we're
talking about skiing.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
You sidetracked?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
No, no, no, no. But that's how I'm got best
friends with Warren Miller. I did get free squee quit what.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
No.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
But but that's when I learned that also a lot
of fat people ski.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
I mean I don't ski, so I don't have any
experience on the slopes.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
I don't ski either, but I would assume, Hey, Kristin, okay,
I've got elevator people. I also need people that ski
to confirm that there's some asses up on the But
I don't mean people who are jackasses. I mean who
got ass up on the up on the up on
the mountain.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
And Ira right, by the way, of course fat people
ski like that's good, Ira rights.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
You can also be big and a bitch.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Let me say I'm not. I'm not. I'm not being
critical of somebody's weight, not at all.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Now, Tanita asks, why would the user not mention them
being overweight? I promise if it was the case, it
would have been mentioned.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Maybe they're like me and you don't. That doesn't matter.
You sign Hi Ellie in the morning. Yeah, Hi, what
can I do for you?
Speaker 5 (16:48):
So this is kind of like a fear of mine.
It's not the whole weight alarm thing going off. But
I'm I'm like a pretty large person on six foot seven,
about two hundred and seventy pounds.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Sometimes, by the way, you're not a fat guy at all.
You're I mean, you're a big guy, don't get me wrong,
but you're not You're not a big fat guy.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
People getting on an elevator with me, I don't get
on there.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Wait say that again.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
If there's more than three people getting on an elevator
with me, like and I eyeball, they're pushing the velveand
compared with me, I'm not getting on there.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Wow. Do you really?
Speaker 5 (17:20):
Yeah, it's just one of those things, like you don't
survive an elevator falling. So I'm good, I'll take the stairs.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
And so but you eyeball, Hey, do you do that?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Like I've never I've never eyeballed to get onto an elevator.
But I'm also not six seven to seventy Is that
is that a has it happened before? Or is that
just when you're when you're I mean again, I keep saying.
I hate saying you're a big guy, but you are
a big dude. Do you just look and go. I
have to be cognizant of this.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Oh, absolutely, even with chairs. I've broken some chairs and
it's not like again, it's not like I'm obese or anything.
It's just they're a lot things have weight limits that
are like two hundred twenty two fifty and I'm like,
I know I'm over that, so I just don't even
mess with them.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Wow, you know what, you know what makes me feel bad?
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Now?
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Well this is before you didn't see size.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
No, I still, well, now I'm going to see size
for this statement like that that we take that for granted, right,
there's a there's a whole population again, not you, sir,
but there's a whole population like if you're if you're
a five hundred pounder, yeah, like you got to be
thinking about that NonStop.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
Yes, oh yeah, even like roller coasters and stuff. I
almost blew my back out completely. They were like, no,
you're good, You're good, And I definitely was not good
height wise everything. So I avoid stuff that if it's close,
I'm like, I'm good.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
No point. Do you ski?
Speaker 5 (18:52):
I used to and I used to snowboard after that.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
A lot of fat people on a mountain.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
Not really especially skiing.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
All right, all right, very good, thank you sir, thank you.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
But you said, like with swim instructors, don't a lot
of times people larger people will do like water aerobics
because it's easier on the joints.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
She wasn't teaching water robics.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
She was teaching she was experienced in the pool the okay,
But it wasn't like I'll be there in a second.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
I'm just finishing up water aerobics. I just remember she
got in the pool. I was like, you're what But
maybe maybe I'm wrong. W Ross writes, fat people don't ski?
Why is that miscad? That's unfair? Why they have the
(19:44):
inner tubes?
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Come on, that's me, that's me, I would think, being honest,
like Dian, Dian was trying to soften it up there
with like water aerobics because it's easier.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
On the joint.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
True, I would think skiing is great for heavy people
as exercise.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
It's a rough sport unless you're gonna tell me like
the chair is a problem. Oh is there a limit
on those? A lot of drags bar No matter what
I say, it's gonna be worse over there.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
The ski lift chair weight limit usually is between two
hundred and fifty pounds and and for a heavy duty
model five hundred.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Wait, so is that per per at the low end.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
That's then that's a solo chair because like the the
like two people couldn't get on that, two people couldn't
get on, two kids, the people, the two people can't
get on two hundred and fifty pounds.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Who that weighs one hundred and twenty five pounds.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Some resorts post individual limits even if it looks like
the chair could technically hold more.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Why are you laughing at that?
Speaker 3 (21:11):
The carousel bench?
Speaker 1 (21:14):
The no, no, but that you can't like five hundred
that like, that's good.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
So if you don't believe that, you're not going to
believe some of these numbers that came in from what
I'm assuming you're elevator people.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
What's that they think?
Speaker 3 (21:25):
This elevator was probably a seven fifty zero chain wait limit.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Never seen that my life, Never seen that.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Mulied restaurants and residential. That's usually the high end.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Seven point fifty in a residential.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Not an apartment building for people who install them in
their homes.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Oh okay, well where am I going? Line three? Hi?
Elliot in the morning.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
Excuse me?
Speaker 1 (21:53):
I told you I could win five billion dollars. I
would never own a house with an elevator. I would
never own a house with an elevator, like unless I
was like an invalid or something.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
Hi, who's this, Hey, this is Doug from Leesburg.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yes, sir, what can I do for you?
Speaker 6 (22:08):
Well? What if the people that originally got on the
elevator with big ones themselves and the people that have
gone on afterwards with a skinny ones, so they thought
the others should get off?
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Okay, but I'm willing to go there, but the script,
I'm willing to go there with you. But you would
never expect that. Okay, So you and your wife are
getting on and I'm fat, I'm fat, my wife is fat,
my kids are my kids like you could tell we're
not an exercising family.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Well, we're not here to see you. We're not here
for the restaurants.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Had an elevator home, and you and your wife, who
were both you know, svelt one fifty one ten, get
on and the thing goes off. You're not expecting me
and my my fat wife to get off and go
down the stairs.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Of course you're getting off.
Speaker 6 (22:56):
Well, if they're a bit biased to people that are
on the heavy side, they're gonna saying, well, why should
I get off on fitting Swell?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Yeah, phobic. Yeah no, but also I was the first
one on.
Speaker 6 (23:10):
Yeah. But again, why why are they saying I don't
have an issue with my weight? So it's not me
that's causing this problem. There could be five of us
at this weight.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Yeah no, but it's the fat seagulls that are weighing
it down.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
By the way, can I ask this? Can I ask this?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
If you so let's say, yeah, well whatever, dude, I'm eating.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Can I ask you this? Hey, thank you sir.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
We heard from the two seventy guy who eyeballs everybody.
Would it be horrible if you hit the elevator button
and the door open and it was the fat seagulls
and you were like hmm and you were skinny, but
you were like, no, I'm not getting on with you.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
That looks bad.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
But I feel like people in a because then it.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Looks bad like you're going, hey, you know, I'm I'm
gonna put us my little idiot biddy weight's gonna put
us over and really highlight you.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
But all of us, no matter our sives, have been
in both situations where we've been on the elevator or
waiting for the elevator and waved off or.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Only if it's crowded.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
It's if you're at that weight, are you telling me
that they carry it well and you can't tell.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
No, it's crowded. No, but it only holds seven fifty's.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
It's going to going to a peer crowded. That to
me would not be a big deal. Oh really, there
are all of these broken chair stories hard to identify
with if you've never had it happen to you, And
you could do a whole day based on how many
messages there's been for elevators passing by like that happens
to all the time.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Oh but to me, only when it's crowded.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
If I looked in there and I saw three biggies,
I wouldn't think I would be like, hey, slide it
in here.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
I come by the way.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
I don't like hearing I don't like hearing chair breaking stories.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
It's that makes me feel bad.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
But there's good company if you shared it or we're
thinking about it. Had never wanted to share it, Like listen,
I used to move from earlier with the mace.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
I worked with the dude who broke up stools all
the time because he was so big trying to sit on.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Yeah, that's humiliating and sad and you feel but he
didn't care.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
He'd still come in every week with two boxes of
taco bell boxes boxes.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Rachel writes, we ski a good bit.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
I have never said, oh wait on the mountain, but
can I read my favorite favorite comment on the original story. Yes,
I would have door dashed food to that fin elevator
first before ever moving. That's not just because it involves DoorDash,
(25:56):
but that sort of stubbornness and it actually not stubbornness,
just thinking you're in the right. Yes, yes, big adamant
that this is not right. I'm going to stand here
and protest what you're trying to do.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
I would have done that, and especially in front of
my family, who I can't turn around and see.
Speaker 6 (26:14):
Hi, Elliot the morning Elliott.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
It's Jr. From Frederick.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Hey, what's up? Jr?
Speaker 4 (26:20):

the chars can hold a lot more than would you say?
Two fifty Wait where are you now? I'm up in
Bear Creek, Pennsylvania.

A take a look around.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
You see a lot of biggins any biggins?
Speaker 4 (26:46):
No, No, I guess so I guess.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Maybe that's the case. So fat people don't ski Elliott.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
I mean I'm not I'm not all that light, but
I mean these chairs got to some of these chairs
hold four or five six people.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
So all the way, are you liking a gondola six people?
Speaker 4 (27:04):
No, just a regular old ski shair. They're really big.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
And they hold six for two d If I saw
six people who combined it in weigh two fifty, I'd
be like, you guys, gotta eat this seriously, start eating,
or I'm gonna do a telephone.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Yeah, the gondolas. The gondolas can put thirty with thirty
people in some of those.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Yeah, those are those are enormous. That's what I thought
you meant was a two person share. Oh yeah, no,
if you if you're doing.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Sixteen style chairs, now bigger than that, gotcha?
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Gotcha? Hey how long do you scan for?
Speaker 4 (27:40):
Still? I'll be driving back to Frederick's afternoon.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Good for you, Good for you, all right, dude, Hey
have fun, have fun.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Wow. So in the moment, that's awesome, that's great.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Pop over and ski a little while and then go
back home, go back to work.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
I have a buddy who does that.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
He'll go he'll go scan for a couple hours in
the morning and then go work in the afternoon.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Where does he live?
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Just outside of Philly. I guess if that's your hobby. Yeah,
loves it. Some people play off. Yeah, some people ski.
Fat people don't ski.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
By the way, no, don't get mad, because from the
beginning I was like, fat.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
People definitely ski. Actually, yeah, you were on that side. Listen.
I'll defend fat people all day.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
It just fat people don't ski. Sounds like the new
version of birds aren't real.
