(00:00):
That dude to our sponsor every playfirst sponsor in this episode, Yay Networks.
You should be a role model forwomen and show them that men don't
have to be perfect for a womanto love him. Hannah your response,
(00:26):
and we are back, Yes weare, and yet another location. Well,
it's the same same general plays,different room. We're just moving around
our LA place trying to find theright room to become our podcast area.
Especially not why. It's because ourneighbors doing construction, and you can hear
it in just about every room setfor this one. The furthest way we
(00:50):
could get, so we'll see.But the walls are very thin here.
I don't think this house is verywell built now. It was made out
of like copsle sticks, cadboards,and hardboard. I've seen some paper mache
around, but you know what,I was a parent. You can't be
as long enough as long as itdoesn't rain. Yep. So glad we
(01:15):
have for today's episode of Junko Mayhem. Well, first, we have a
funny story. I guess that youfound two stories. One is yours and
I found one that is mine.Then they seem but Shanton read this online.
This the story that someone told andhas been telling it to everyone that
we see. It's the funniest thingI've ever heard. It is really funny.
(01:36):
Everyone enjoys it. So he's gonnasay he's gonna tell it here even
though I'm just I'm laughing thinking aboutit, Okay, And then you're gonna
give your own embarrassing story to kindof follow that up, yeah, which
is arguably even worse. Yes,it is much worse, yeah than the
segment Q. We have male Bag. We did like a fun name from
(01:59):
male Bag. It maybe used todo Monday grub Bag could just be grum
bag eight Monday. No, butit could be grumb Bag, grub badge
Ready, good bad. We havesome questions that you have submitted in various
ways, and we're going to answerthem, and then we're gonna play am
(02:20):
I the ahle. I said thatI pitched that up to you to like
not out of the part, butI hadn't really, But it turns out
you don't know what the podcast istoday. That's what I thought it was,
but I wasn't one hundred percent sure. Played am I the a whole
People have been loving it, sowe're gonna keep dealing with it. Ready
for the Frindly story. Yes,we're ready, Shane. And we've heard
(02:42):
this a few times. Yes,I certainly have. So this was submitted
by someone in a forum about embarrassingstories, and they said they were on
a cruise in a location where hedid not speak the language that most of
the staff on the boat were speedtoday. I think it was like Swedish,
(03:04):
I can't remember exactly. And onthis hruse, this man went poop
as one does in his room,and he went to flesh it. It
was a large poop you mentioned,sorry everyone, and when he flushed,
it did not go down. Ifyou've ever been in a hurruse, you
(03:27):
know him, and maybe you betterthan most people that the toilets are like
a little bit different. I foundthe toilets to be just fine, very
accommodating. They make noises like they'regonna like airplane bathrooms where they're really loud,
but other than that, So thisman flushes the poop and it does
(03:47):
not hold down. So he flushesagain and again, and it's just still,
what do you do? He needsto find someone to help, some
staff member because he doesn't have aplunger and doesn't know how to fit a
plod prus toilet. So he goesinto the hallway but realizes like he did
(04:11):
not adequately to undicate with the staffto be like, here's the problem I
have. Yeah, So he fliesdown one of the housekeepers and just gestures
for the woman to follow him intothe room. He brings her in to
the bathroom, which I can onlyimagine smells, and he just plants does
(04:42):
for watch, like look, Yeah, he knows the word for a look
somehow, So he points to thetoilet, says look, and then flushes
and the poop goes right down.I mean then he can't even explain to
her that it was clogged. Hesaid to be Oh no, it was
(05:09):
supposed to stay from that woman's perspective, Oh my god. A passenger brings
you into the room and says,looks at my toilet, flush it.
That's really funny. That's my favoritestory. Before we get into your story.
Our dog is whining rowly. Ihope you should hear it almost constantly.
(05:30):
She's laying completely down, like asif she's asleep, but she's growling
NonStop to trying to get someone tobetter and their tail keeps flopping. This
is very JOKEK cared by him ofyou, Chloe, Yeah, it's not
nice. Let me explained my reallyembarrassive story. This happened while we were
at the White House, and Ithought after it happened and the days that
followed, that I would never speakto it again. I thought so too.
(05:55):
I thought we had kind of agreedthat we were not going to speak
of it. I've decided that Ineed to hump clean. So int she
missed it. We were invented tothe White House a few minutes ago for
an event celebrating the anniversaries of somedisability legislation. It was a really too
old time. Yeah, we're inline to meet the President of the United
(06:15):
States, like he is humming downthe aisle and we are going to get
to talk to him, it seems, and I am freaking out, like
this is my moment. You neverget nervous about STUFFLI, No, but
it felt like, you know,this is a big important person, Like
(06:35):
I don't want to screw it up. I want to be like composed,
and so you decided to. Iwanted to inject the little a little humor
in the No, you know what, I can't even I wasn't even thinking
about it in that way. Letme just explain what happened. It's awful,
just to give you. The Presidentarrives at our spot and he begins
(07:00):
to speak to me, and hesays, where are you from? And
I'm like, okay, I doubtthis in the bag. I know exactly
where I'm from. Oh, Iam from a little bit north of Philadelphia,
near Allentown. I say, nailedit absolutely, and he knows where
that is. Killing the interruption becausethe President replies, oh, just short
(07:25):
of Heaven, Stratton, Pa,My brain is where here a thousand miles
a minute? All right? Ididn't know this, but you must be
from so I didn't know. Idon't know it's from like a movie or
something. Maybe it is, butStratton to me is not Heaven. So
I was like, well, Itend to give him the laugh that he
(07:46):
was wasn't Ford. Now I'm beginningto feel like, okay, me and
the press are begin silly. Okay, we're in in exactly what I told
you before we went. The nextthing he says is, you know I'm
married a woman from Philadelphia. Tothis, my brain melts down. And
(08:11):
I said that Shane should have saidwas like, oh wow, like Philly
people are great, like nailed it. I'm I'm just as awesome as your
Philadelphia wife. Instead, my brainwent with, oh, I'm so sorry
about that, but don't so youryour decision was to insult the first lady
(08:35):
of the United States and if she'sa bad person to marry. In mind,
and of course the president can't justbe like yeah, thanks, He
should have let it go. Heshould have just laughed and mid no,
because what if we had a videoof that, Like the president can't just
be like, yeah, yeah,thanks for the apology about my wife.
(08:56):
Instead he says, oh, no, she's very loyal. Yeah, like
Philadelphia people are loyal. And thatwas the moment that that was his last
words to me, and that likenice to meet you, and he moved
on. That was really the momentwhere it said in what I had just
said in my mind, I wassaying like kind of a joke of oh
(09:20):
yeah, like people from Philly,like me, we all saw there's a
there's a cultural joke about people fromPhilly being like raw and hard to get
along way with whatever. That's athing, and I tried to capitalize on
that. Not the situation, No, not at all, And it all
(09:41):
happened so fast and you didn't realizeit. You didn't realize it right away
at all. I told I kindof give you a little talking to you
in the hotel room after. Iwas like, remember when you said that,
like, that's kind of funny thatyou chose your one talk with the
president to insult his wife, andyou were like, no, I didn't.
And then you like replayed it andyou were like, huh. I
(10:03):
knew in the moment that I flubbedit, but it didn't really hit me
until later. Yeah, I waslike, oh, wow, you did
not take my joke as a joke. They thought I was actually saying like,
wow, I'm sorry that your wifeis from Philly. That's terrible.
No. I mean, he definitelyknew what you meant, and it's fine.
It's just you couldn't just be like, yeah, I was nervous,
Yeah, you were nervous. Iwas nervous. It was the president and
(10:26):
he's already forgotten it, don't.I wanted to talk to five hundred people
that day. I just wanted himto like me. I wanted him to
like defall, and it didn't.He didn't default. He didn't fall.
So that was my version of pointingat the toilet and say what should have
flushing my hoop down? Yeah,that's that's pretty much the same, all
(10:48):
right, Should we move on,take a little break, and then take
your break, and then we willbe back with a bag. For the
last few weeks in la we havebeen unpacking so many things, building furniture.
This house is nothing but boxes.Yes, we've been very busy,
and having every plate delivered meals hasbeen such a help. It makes life
(11:13):
so much easier. Every plate hastwenty six tasty and affordable recipes that change
every week, so it's easy tofind something flavorful and satisfying for every meal
of the day, and they haveup to twenty two convenient sides lunches,
snacks, and desserts that you canadd to your order. So while hand
unpassed boxes I periods the venues,they're also a sustainable choice. Every plate
(11:33):
offsets one hundred percent of their deliveryemissions, and their meals have a thirty
one percent lower carbon footprint on averagethan supermarket meals of the same portion.
Plus, nearly all packaging materials arecurb side recyclable in most areas of the
US. Every Plate also has theirnew family sized options that are perfect for
slow cookers and casserole dishes. They'recalled the big Batch Fave, so you
(11:54):
can cook once but then eat ittwice. We did to get a slow
kicker out here, I know,shame. Every Plate's lower price point is
really what sets them apart from othermeal kits. So get started with every
plate for just a dollar forty nineper meal by going to Every plate dot
com, slash podcast and entering codeforty nine junk yard Pod. Again,
get started with Every Plate for justa dollar forty nine per meal by going
(12:15):
to every plate dot com, slashpodcast and entering code forty nine junk yard
Pod. All right, we're backand it is time for mail bag.
I compiled these questions so and hasn'tseen them yet, No, I haven't.
These are all questions that we've receivedin like the last two days.
All Right, I'm more curious ifit was love at first sight or did
(12:37):
you meet years before? Was itlove at first site? Yeah, I
mean it wasn't years. We saidI love you two weeks in hopefully,
so I would say it was loveat first like, I mean, we
met online, so it's kind ofhard to say, but yes, it
was not a like long friendship thatkind of turned into something. It was
very quick. No, yeah,we haven't known each other before we met.
(12:58):
Yeah, well yeah, obviously whenwe fell in love, we hadn't
known each other for years. Yes, but it is interesting that, like
you saw that video about me,I read your email, than we facetimed,
and that was fast to love,you know what I mean, Like
in that way I was trying tolove at first sight. We were like,
oh wow, yeah, we weresmitten, like very very quickly upon
(13:20):
our first like face time. Butare the literal first interactions where you saw
my video yes and emailed me,and then where I emailed that we were
not in love at that point.We weren't like, oh this is love.
Yeah, it's like I need toknow this person exactly. Okay,
oh you picked a mean one.I get it. She must be a
(13:43):
very special lady. But does shenot have basic human desire? You're not
even a basic c Like, you'renot even it was a question. It
was written with a question mark.It's actually two question marks at the end.
Do you have to have basic humantoo? Yes? You know it
is all you have to say,m yes, that, don't be vague
(14:07):
about it. Don't eat you upfor that. Do you have basic human
desire? This is the phrasing ofthis is extremely disturbing to me, extremely
disturbing. I do not like thephrase basic human desire. I find that
to be uncomfortable, super creepy,very very creepy, and predatory. Meant
(14:28):
it basically think that you're like aprowler. I know that's reminding me of
Jurassic Park for some reason. Idon't know why dinosaurs have so much like
human desire. They're just something basichuman desire. Okay, Oh you picked
a sentence, Shane, You're supercute and love your sense of humor?
Thank you? Is that just tobuild you back up after the last One's
(14:50):
not a question, but I neededit after being told that I did not
satisfy basic human desire, I amthat unlovable. That might too, Yeah,
are you offensive? I don't know. I don't know editor if that's
an offensive or I'll put it in. If it is not, then leave
all of this. Okay, wherecan I pre order your book? Than
(15:16):
people do think? I just putthat one in there. I didn't wow.
A couple of people ask that that'svery nice and do you know,
well, it's not available for preorder yet yet. Yeah, we will
definitely let you know when it's availablefor pre order. It'll be months because
it has to be edited, ithas to be put together, and there's
only to be on topy. We'rehand by thee. We have to get
(15:39):
the covered done. There's a lotof steps before it's going to be for
sale. So, but it ison pre order, it'll be available everywhere
the books sold, so there willbe it would be easy to find.
Yes. Another another sentence, youshould be a role model for women and
show them that men don't have tobe perfect for a woman to love him.
(16:03):
Hannah. Your response, I thinkthat that is a positive sentiment,
a little bit offensive to you,very offensive to me that you're not nobody's
perfect though, nobody's perfect. No, but they're just supposed to have perfection
with me. There'say they put perfectin all caps. You know, some
(16:26):
men are perfect, but they don'tneed to be to be lovable, as
evidenced by you're extremely imperfect. Thatgood, Yeah, and you should like
it's just so funny because you havean equally difficult time with me. Like
the idea that I am easier,I should be the role model. But
(16:49):
nobody says to you that you shouldbe a role mode. Role model for
men. But women don't have tobe perfect to love them. But that
is mean. I'm going to writea self help and it's to be called
Imperfect Card, nor how to lovethis woman? How to love a hard
r How I live through my marriage? Oh lord, okay, I don't
(17:12):
want to be rude. But whydoes he have to sit in a car
seat like on planes? Oh?This is on the video about how I
fly, and I fly in aChilod's car seat, because yeah, wheelchairs
are not like available on airplanes.If Shane could stay in his wheelchair,
no problem, as you can see. Well maybe you can't see, but
I am where I am straps thathold me upright, I have specialized seatium
(17:37):
that shaped to my body perfectly,that holds me up. I can't sit
without all this stuff. So youcan't just lift me out of it and
PLoP me into an airline chair andexpect that I'll be live in three hours.
No, Shane cannot sit in anairline seat, So you should try
that, just to film it,just to make your big stick A flight
(17:59):
that way, h No, I'mafraid you would actually get injured. I
would get the landed, I wouldbe byset by the the seatbelt and I
had been hit the in front ofme. It would just be difficult for
me because I'd have to hold youup the whole time. I did sit
in your lap the whole time.Yeah, but that would be my arms
would give out. I was justsloth on you. Okay, it would
(18:22):
be fine, all right. Lastone, have you ever thought of walking
away from social media for a fewmonths and just living your lives to see
how that feels? That feels kindof backhanded. No, I put it
only because from the thumbnail of theperson, I ascertained that like they weren't
being me and it just seemed thatsomeone was late. We know how it
(18:45):
feels because Shane and I were togetherfor two years before I even had an
Instagram account, Like before we everposted anything together. Hu, So those
are the holory days. We're verywhat when I didn't have an Instagram?
No? Just want me really usesearching medea a whole lot. Yeah,
But I'm just saying I don't thinkour life was a need. I don't
think it was the glory is.It feels the same to me, only
(19:07):
there was less stress about like whatto post? Yeah, yeah, but
I don't know. It feels thesame to me. It's our job and
we enjoy it, like yeah mostof the time. Yeah, So it's
not like, yeah, we likeediting videos. We like Yeah, I
mean posting a picture doesn't take thatmuch out of our lives. So I
don't think and here and there weare really busy. It will take some
(19:30):
like you'll be he too off ofpost them. Yeah, and that is
fine, but we don't like we'renot like ah, yeah, I mean
I think I've posted like two Instagramphotos in the last six months. I
really need to step it up.Yeah, your bad influencer, bad bad
at my job. Okay, shouldwe take a break and then do our
am I the A Hole? Yes? Okay, bye, all right,
(19:56):
we're back. Here is the amIV If you have not listened to us,
do one of these before. Thisis a post that someone put on
the reddit subreddit am I the AHole, where they are asking for people
to give them their opinion on whois the A hole in this story.
Yes, it can be the personwriting it can be the subject of it.
(20:18):
It can be everybody. We'll see, all right, here's the post.
My son burps a lot while eating. I have tried telling him multiple
times that is rude. I've toldhim to slow down so he doesn't swallow
air with his food. This isme. I've told him that it is
disgusting. My wife will instantly jumpin to defend him. She will say
(20:38):
that's just the way he is,and that it's not his fault. The
thing is, he can control himselfwhen I remind him, he just chooses
not to. He just went ona date with his girlfriend last night,
and she tore him a new ahole. It was his first time meeting
her parents, since they live inanother city. They went out to a
fancy restaurant and he burped all theway through to supper. He came home
(20:59):
almost in tears from her chewing himout for behaving like a jack ass in
front of her family. I heardhim telling my wife about it, and
I laughed. She asked what wasso funny, and I reminded them both
that I had tried dozens, ifnot hundreds of times to teach him table
manners, and he rejected them,and she protected him. I said that
now he is a grown man andthat he had to learn the hard way.
They both think she overreacted and thatI'm the a hole for being amused
(21:22):
by his experience. Is this ajoke? I don't know. It was
the number one staying on Reddit.Did anybody think that the sun was not
the a hole in this? It'sthe dad the person. Did anybody think
that the dad is the a hole? Is the a hole? Yeah?
No, no, most people saidnot the a hole? And what world
(21:42):
would anybody be like? Yeah,you're the a hole. Your poor son
burping? Like what, I'm sorryyou don't like if you have to burp?
If there is a physical disability thatis causing your need to burp a
thousand times throughout dinner, I shallclarify. In the comments, the dad
answered a few questions that was broughtup. They were like, is this,
(22:03):
say, like either mental or physicalcondition that like you can't help it?
Yeah, And the dad said no, so we have to take that
at face value. Someone also askshow old is your son? What did
you said? Nineteen? Here's twentytwo, which too old? Too old?
You know? Yeah? I wasthis is like a fourteen year old
(22:26):
when I was your Yeah, andthen even then it's like not excusable.
Yeah, but it's different than that'stwenty two year olds egregious. That is
disgusting. I think I can't believehe still has a girlfriend. Oh yeah,
that would be Did you imagine ifon our first the first time I
came out and met your parents,when we went to Panicuchin Pendication, there's
(22:48):
a restaurant. If that word justmade your head, it's good if I
had burned the entire time. Imean I get it. I have burps
here and there that hands an attestto this you roughed out of me,
and they are involuntary. Even then, though, I feel like if you
(23:10):
were at dinner with my parents,you would keep your mouth closed and it
would be a more silent burp.Well, I have a way when I
know a bion is on its wayup, I can do this song where
I just do it like this.I just have to blow the air so
it doesn't make burps sound. Yeah, but it still is like I cannot
not burn. And the kid inthe story better be putting like his his
(23:33):
hand up like burping into his youknow, elbow, like if he's just
burping. If it's loud and notjust air coming out that is, I
have no words for that. He'sjust like doing a little stuifled burps.
I still think if it's more thanlike two times or three times during dinner
and that that's really weird. Andhow is he eating? Yeah? What
(23:56):
how much air are you drink?So it's like he's take your better fee,
take your better fee. You know, maybe he's drinking soda the whole
time. Maybe I would take awaythe soda so you did. The dad
is not the a hole. Nofor laughing that. No, that is
if nothing else works, that isthe perfect experience. I hope that it
(24:18):
teaches the son to not do that. Yeah, I'm not sure it will.
If he's like upset about it,it seems like I'm just confused.
It's diffusing that the dad has alsotold him so many times like, yeah,
I think need to figure out.If the sun didn't help it,
I can't help. He did sayin the post that I know that the
thing is he can control himself.When I remind him that sounds like something
(24:40):
your parents says, though, butthey don't actually know that. Yeah,
you know, I mean that,like if it's truly like the thing is
if it is a condition where hehas to burp, he should have said
to the girlfriend, I'm not goingto meet your parents over a meal.
Yeah, you know, like heseems to think that that is not a
p problem, and that is theproblem, you know, like that is
(25:03):
not that is not a good wayto meet your girlfriend's parents for the first
time. I do think the dadwas a little insensitive if the son was
really upset, even if it washis own doing. Laughing is not very
nice. I think that's what youwould do as a parent. Yes,
I think I'm probably an a whole, right, so that's okay. Yeah,
(25:27):
but no, I think that dadis not an a whole. Yeah,
the sun sounds like you might bean a whole. Not that I
really want to follow up to this, Like I'm confused about it. I
have a video of how he Ohmy God, between every better food he
(25:48):
inhales deeply man the poor, Likeit's just funny. The people who are
the subjects of this, I wonderif they know that the dad posted this.
They probably don't. That's why wedon't give names, you know anything
like that. Yeah, I'm andit's always anonymous. From now I will
be given a name and location.Yeah, oh my god, I just
hit my microphone. Oh I wastrying to scooch anyway, that was our
(26:11):
episode. That was our episode.I liked here what you do with our
empty book case behind us? Well, it sounds very activly in my ears,
so hopefully it sounds so highth forall of you. If you enjoyed
this episode, don't forget to likecomment, review all of that stuff.
And it's a junk yard out there. And at this junk yard, refilm
(26:33):
that disabled people are perfect. Ohthat's nice, old mod to that one.
We'll not forget. Goodbye, andonce again, thank you to the

You should be a role model forwomen and show them that men don't
have to be perfect for a womanto love him. Hannah your response,
(00:26):
and we are back, Yes weare, and yet another location. Well,
it's the same same general plays,different room. We're just moving around
our LA place trying to find theright room to become our podcast area.
Especially not why. It's because ourneighbors doing construction, and you can hear
it in just about every room setfor this one. The furthest way we
(00:50):
could get, so we'll see.But the walls are very thin here.
I don't think this house is verywell built now. It was made out
of like copsle sticks, cadboards,and hardboard. I've seen some paper mache
around, but you know what,I was a parent. You can't be
as long enough as long as itdoesn't rain. Yep. So glad we
(01:15):
have for today's episode of Junko Mayhem. Well, first, we have a
funny story. I guess that youfound two stories. One is yours and
I found one that is mine.Then they seem but Shanton read this online.
This the story that someone told andhas been telling it to everyone that
we see. It's the funniest thingI've ever heard. It is really funny.
(01:36):
Everyone enjoys it. So he's gonnasay he's gonna tell it here even
though I'm just I'm laughing thinking aboutit, Okay, And then you're gonna
give your own embarrassing story to kindof follow that up, yeah, which
is arguably even worse. Yes,it is much worse, yeah than the
segment Q. We have male Bag. We did like a fun name from
(01:59):
male Bag. It maybe used todo Monday grub Bag could just be grum
bag eight Monday. No, butit could be grumb Bag, grub badge
Ready, good bad. We havesome questions that you have submitted in various
ways, and we're going to answerthem, and then we're gonna play am
(02:20):
I the ahle. I said thatI pitched that up to you to like
not out of the part, butI hadn't really, But it turns out
you don't know what the podcast istoday. That's what I thought it was,
but I wasn't one hundred percent sure. Played am I the a whole
People have been loving it, sowe're gonna keep dealing with it. Ready
for the Frindly story. Yes,we're ready, Shane. And we've heard
(02:42):
this a few times. Yes,I certainly have. So this was submitted
by someone in a forum about embarrassingstories, and they said they were on
a cruise in a location where hedid not speak the language that most of
the staff on the boat were speedtoday. I think it was like Swedish,
(03:04):
I can't remember exactly. And onthis hruse, this man went poop
as one does in his room,and he went to flesh it. It
was a large poop you mentioned,sorry everyone, and when he flushed,
it did not go down. Ifyou've ever been in a hurruse, you
(03:27):
know him, and maybe you betterthan most people that the toilets are like
a little bit different. I foundthe toilets to be just fine, very
accommodating. They make noises like they'regonna like airplane bathrooms where they're really loud,
but other than that, So thisman flushes the poop and it does
(03:47):
not hold down. So he flushesagain and again, and it's just still,
what do you do? He needsto find someone to help, some
staff member because he doesn't have aplunger and doesn't know how to fit a
plod prus toilet. So he goesinto the hallway but realizes like he did
(04:11):
not adequately to undicate with the staffto be like, here's the problem I
have. Yeah, So he fliesdown one of the housekeepers and just gestures
for the woman to follow him intothe room. He brings her in to
the bathroom, which I can onlyimagine smells, and he just plants does
(04:42):
for watch, like look, Yeah, he knows the word for a look
somehow, So he points to thetoilet, says look, and then flushes
and the poop goes right down.I mean then he can't even explain to
her that it was clogged. Hesaid to be Oh no, it was
(05:09):
supposed to stay from that woman's perspective, Oh my god. A passenger brings
you into the room and says,looks at my toilet, flush it.
That's really funny. That's my favoritestory. Before we get into your story.
Our dog is whining rowly. Ihope you should hear it almost constantly.
(05:30):
She's laying completely down, like asif she's asleep, but she's growling
NonStop to trying to get someone tobetter and their tail keeps flopping. This
is very JOKEK cared by him ofyou, Chloe, Yeah, it's not
nice. Let me explained my reallyembarrassive story. This happened while we were
at the White House, and Ithought after it happened and the days that
followed, that I would never speakto it again. I thought so too.
(05:55):
I thought we had kind of agreedthat we were not going to speak
of it. I've decided that Ineed to hump clean. So int she
missed it. We were invented tothe White House a few minutes ago for
an event celebrating the anniversaries of somedisability legislation. It was a really too
old time. Yeah, we're inline to meet the President of the United
(06:15):
States, like he is humming downthe aisle and we are going to get
to talk to him, it seems, and I am freaking out, like
this is my moment. You neverget nervous about STUFFLI, No, but
it felt like, you know,this is a big important person, Like
(06:35):
I don't want to screw it up. I want to be like composed,
and so you decided to. Iwanted to inject the little a little humor
in the No, you know what, I can't even I wasn't even thinking
about it in that way. Letme just explain what happened. It's awful,
just to give you. The Presidentarrives at our spot and he begins
(07:00):
to speak to me, and hesays, where are you from? And
I'm like, okay, I doubtthis in the bag. I know exactly
where I'm from. Oh, Iam from a little bit north of Philadelphia,
near Allentown. I say, nailedit absolutely, and he knows where
that is. Killing the interruption becausethe President replies, oh, just short
(07:25):
of Heaven, Stratton, Pa,My brain is where here a thousand miles
a minute? All right? Ididn't know this, but you must be
from so I didn't know. Idon't know it's from like a movie or
something. Maybe it is, butStratton to me is not Heaven. So
I was like, well, Itend to give him the laugh that he
(07:46):
was wasn't Ford. Now I'm beginningto feel like, okay, me and
the press are begin silly. Okay, we're in in exactly what I told
you before we went. The nextthing he says is, you know I'm
married a woman from Philadelphia. Tothis, my brain melts down. And
(08:11):
I said that Shane should have saidwas like, oh wow, like Philly
people are great, like nailed it. I'm I'm just as awesome as your
Philadelphia wife. Instead, my brainwent with, oh, I'm so sorry
about that, but don't so youryour decision was to insult the first lady
(08:35):
of the United States and if she'sa bad person to marry. In mind,
and of course the president can't justbe like yeah, thanks, He
should have let it go. Heshould have just laughed and mid no,
because what if we had a videoof that, Like the president can't just
be like, yeah, yeah,thanks for the apology about my wife.
(08:56):
Instead he says, oh, no, she's very loyal. Yeah, like
Philadelphia people are loyal. And thatwas the moment that that was his last
words to me, and that likenice to meet you, and he moved
on. That was really the momentwhere it said in what I had just
said in my mind, I wassaying like kind of a joke of oh
(09:20):
yeah, like people from Philly,like me, we all saw there's a
there's a cultural joke about people fromPhilly being like raw and hard to get
along way with whatever. That's athing, and I tried to capitalize on
that. Not the situation, No, not at all, And it all
(09:41):
happened so fast and you didn't realizeit. You didn't realize it right away
at all. I told I kindof give you a little talking to you
in the hotel room after. Iwas like, remember when you said that,
like, that's kind of funny thatyou chose your one talk with the
president to insult his wife, andyou were like, no, I didn't.
And then you like replayed it andyou were like, huh. I
(10:03):
knew in the moment that I flubbedit, but it didn't really hit me
until later. Yeah, I waslike, oh, wow, you did
not take my joke as a joke. They thought I was actually saying like,
wow, I'm sorry that your wifeis from Philly. That's terrible.
No. I mean, he definitelyknew what you meant, and it's fine.
It's just you couldn't just be like, yeah, I was nervous,
Yeah, you were nervous. Iwas nervous. It was the president and
(10:26):
he's already forgotten it, don't.I wanted to talk to five hundred people
that day. I just wanted himto like me. I wanted him to
like defall, and it didn't.He didn't default. He didn't fall.
So that was my version of pointingat the toilet and say what should have
flushing my hoop down? Yeah,that's that's pretty much the same, all
(10:48):
right, Should we move on,take a little break, and then take
your break, and then we willbe back with a bag. For the
last few weeks in la we havebeen unpacking so many things, building furniture.
This house is nothing but boxes.Yes, we've been very busy,
and having every plate delivered meals hasbeen such a help. It makes life
(11:13):
so much easier. Every plate hastwenty six tasty and affordable recipes that change
every week, so it's easy tofind something flavorful and satisfying for every meal
of the day, and they haveup to twenty two convenient sides lunches,
snacks, and desserts that you canadd to your order. So while hand
unpassed boxes I periods the venues,they're also a sustainable choice. Every plate
(11:33):
offsets one hundred percent of their deliveryemissions, and their meals have a thirty
one percent lower carbon footprint on averagethan supermarket meals of the same portion.
Plus, nearly all packaging materials arecurb side recyclable in most areas of the
US. Every Plate also has theirnew family sized options that are perfect for
slow cookers and casserole dishes. They'recalled the big Batch Fave, so you
(11:54):
can cook once but then eat ittwice. We did to get a slow
kicker out here, I know,shame. Every Plate's lower price point is
really what sets them apart from othermeal kits. So get started with every
plate for just a dollar forty nineper meal by going to Every plate dot
com, slash podcast and entering codeforty nine junk yard Pod. Again,
get started with Every Plate for justa dollar forty nine per meal by going
(12:15):
to every plate dot com, slashpodcast and entering code forty nine junk yard
Pod. All right, we're backand it is time for mail bag.
I compiled these questions so and hasn'tseen them yet, No, I haven't.
These are all questions that we've receivedin like the last two days.
All Right, I'm more curious ifit was love at first sight or did
(12:37):
you meet years before? Was itlove at first site? Yeah, I
mean it wasn't years. We saidI love you two weeks in hopefully,
so I would say it was loveat first like, I mean, we
met online, so it's kind ofhard to say, but yes, it
was not a like long friendship thatkind of turned into something. It was
very quick. No, yeah,we haven't known each other before we met.
(12:58):
Yeah, well yeah, obviously whenwe fell in love, we hadn't
known each other for years. Yes, but it is interesting that, like
you saw that video about me,I read your email, than we facetimed,
and that was fast to love,you know what I mean, Like
in that way I was trying tolove at first sight. We were like,
oh wow, yeah, we weresmitten, like very very quickly upon
(13:20):
our first like face time. Butare the literal first interactions where you saw
my video yes and emailed me,and then where I emailed that we were
not in love at that point.We weren't like, oh this is love.
Yeah, it's like I need toknow this person exactly. Okay,
oh you picked a mean one.I get it. She must be a
(13:43):
very special lady. But does shenot have basic human desire? You're not
even a basic c Like, you'renot even it was a question. It
was written with a question mark.It's actually two question marks at the end.
Do you have to have basic humantoo? Yes? You know it
is all you have to say,m yes, that, don't be vague
(14:07):
about it. Don't eat you upfor that. Do you have basic human
desire? This is the phrasing ofthis is extremely disturbing to me, extremely
disturbing. I do not like thephrase basic human desire. I find that
to be uncomfortable, super creepy,very very creepy, and predatory. Meant
(14:28):
it basically think that you're like aprowler. I know that's reminding me of
Jurassic Park for some reason. Idon't know why dinosaurs have so much like
human desire. They're just something basichuman desire. Okay, Oh you picked
a sentence, Shane, You're supercute and love your sense of humor?
Thank you? Is that just tobuild you back up after the last One's
(14:50):
not a question, but I neededit after being told that I did not
satisfy basic human desire, I amthat unlovable. That might too, Yeah,
are you offensive? I don't know. I don't know editor if that's
an offensive or I'll put it in. If it is not, then leave
all of this. Okay, wherecan I pre order your book? Than
(15:16):
people do think? I just putthat one in there. I didn't wow.
A couple of people ask that that'svery nice and do you know,
well, it's not available for preorder yet yet. Yeah, we will
definitely let you know when it's availablefor pre order. It'll be months because
it has to be edited, ithas to be put together, and there's
only to be on topy. We'rehand by thee. We have to get
(15:39):
the covered done. There's a lotof steps before it's going to be for
sale. So, but it ison pre order, it'll be available everywhere
the books sold, so there willbe it would be easy to find.
Yes. Another another sentence, youshould be a role model for women and
show them that men don't have tobe perfect for a woman to love him.
(16:03):
Hannah. Your response, I thinkthat that is a positive sentiment,
a little bit offensive to you,very offensive to me that you're not nobody's
perfect though, nobody's perfect. No, but they're just supposed to have perfection
with me. There'say they put perfectin all caps. You know, some
(16:26):
men are perfect, but they don'tneed to be to be lovable, as
evidenced by you're extremely imperfect. Thatgood, Yeah, and you should like
it's just so funny because you havean equally difficult time with me. Like
the idea that I am easier,I should be the role model. But
(16:49):
nobody says to you that you shouldbe a role mode. Role model for
men. But women don't have tobe perfect to love them. But that
is mean. I'm going to writea self help and it's to be called
Imperfect Card, nor how to lovethis woman? How to love a hard
r How I live through my marriage? Oh lord, okay, I don't
(17:12):
want to be rude. But whydoes he have to sit in a car
seat like on planes? Oh?This is on the video about how I
fly, and I fly in aChilod's car seat, because yeah, wheelchairs
are not like available on airplanes.If Shane could stay in his wheelchair,
no problem, as you can see. Well maybe you can't see, but
I am where I am straps thathold me upright, I have specialized seatium
(17:37):
that shaped to my body perfectly,that holds me up. I can't sit
without all this stuff. So youcan't just lift me out of it and
PLoP me into an airline chair andexpect that I'll be live in three hours.
No, Shane cannot sit in anairline seat, So you should try
that, just to film it,just to make your big stick A flight
(17:59):
that way, h No, I'mafraid you would actually get injured. I
would get the landed, I wouldbe byset by the the seatbelt and I
had been hit the in front ofme. It would just be difficult for
me because I'd have to hold youup the whole time. I did sit
in your lap the whole time.Yeah, but that would be my arms
would give out. I was justsloth on you. Okay, it would
(18:22):
be fine, all right. Lastone, have you ever thought of walking
away from social media for a fewmonths and just living your lives to see
how that feels? That feels kindof backhanded. No, I put it
only because from the thumbnail of theperson, I ascertained that like they weren't
being me and it just seemed thatsomeone was late. We know how it
(18:45):
feels because Shane and I were togetherfor two years before I even had an
Instagram account, Like before we everposted anything together. Hu, So those
are the holory days. We're verywhat when I didn't have an Instagram?
No? Just want me really usesearching medea a whole lot. Yeah,
But I'm just saying I don't thinkour life was a need. I don't
think it was the glory is.It feels the same to me, only
(19:07):
there was less stress about like whatto post? Yeah, yeah, but
I don't know. It feels thesame to me. It's our job and
we enjoy it, like yeah mostof the time. Yeah, So it's
not like, yeah, we likeediting videos. We like Yeah, I
mean posting a picture doesn't take thatmuch out of our lives. So I
don't think and here and there weare really busy. It will take some
(19:30):
like you'll be he too off ofpost them. Yeah, and that is
fine, but we don't like we'renot like ah, yeah, I mean
I think I've posted like two Instagramphotos in the last six months. I
really need to step it up.Yeah, your bad influencer, bad bad
at my job. Okay, shouldwe take a break and then do our
am I the A Hole? Yes? Okay, bye, all right,
(19:56):
we're back. Here is the amIV If you have not listened to us,
do one of these before. Thisis a post that someone put on
the reddit subreddit am I the AHole, where they are asking for people
to give them their opinion on whois the A hole in this story.
Yes, it can be the personwriting it can be the subject of it.
(20:18):
It can be everybody. We'll see, all right, here's the post.
My son burps a lot while eating. I have tried telling him multiple
times that is rude. I've toldhim to slow down so he doesn't swallow
air with his food. This isme. I've told him that it is
disgusting. My wife will instantly jumpin to defend him. She will say
(20:38):
that's just the way he is,and that it's not his fault. The
thing is, he can control himselfwhen I remind him, he just chooses
not to. He just went ona date with his girlfriend last night,
and she tore him a new ahole. It was his first time meeting
her parents, since they live inanother city. They went out to a
fancy restaurant and he burped all theway through to supper. He came home
(20:59):
almost in tears from her chewing himout for behaving like a jack ass in
front of her family. I heardhim telling my wife about it, and
I laughed. She asked what wasso funny, and I reminded them both
that I had tried dozens, ifnot hundreds of times to teach him table
manners, and he rejected them,and she protected him. I said that
now he is a grown man andthat he had to learn the hard way.
They both think she overreacted and thatI'm the a hole for being amused
(21:22):
by his experience. Is this ajoke? I don't know. It was
the number one staying on Reddit.Did anybody think that the sun was not
the a hole in this? It'sthe dad the person. Did anybody think
that the dad is the a hole? Is the a hole? Yeah?
No, no, most people saidnot the a hole? And what world
(21:42):
would anybody be like? Yeah,you're the a hole. Your poor son
burping? Like what, I'm sorryyou don't like if you have to burp?
If there is a physical disability thatis causing your need to burp a
thousand times throughout dinner, I shallclarify. In the comments, the dad
answered a few questions that was broughtup. They were like, is this,
(22:03):
say, like either mental or physicalcondition that like you can't help it?
Yeah, And the dad said no, so we have to take that
at face value. Someone also askshow old is your son? What did
you said? Nineteen? Here's twentytwo, which too old? Too old?
You know? Yeah? I wasthis is like a fourteen year old
(22:26):
when I was your Yeah, andthen even then it's like not excusable.
Yeah, but it's different than that'stwenty two year olds egregious. That is
disgusting. I think I can't believehe still has a girlfriend. Oh yeah,
that would be Did you imagine ifon our first the first time I
came out and met your parents,when we went to Panicuchin Pendication, there's
(22:48):
a restaurant. If that word justmade your head, it's good if I
had burned the entire time. Imean I get it. I have burps
here and there that hands an attestto this you roughed out of me,
and they are involuntary. Even then, though, I feel like if you
(23:10):
were at dinner with my parents,you would keep your mouth closed and it
would be a more silent burp.Well, I have a way when I
know a bion is on its wayup, I can do this song where
I just do it like this.I just have to blow the air so
it doesn't make burps sound. Yeah, but it still is like I cannot
not burn. And the kid inthe story better be putting like his his
(23:33):
hand up like burping into his youknow, elbow, like if he's just
burping. If it's loud and notjust air coming out that is, I
have no words for that. He'sjust like doing a little stuifled burps.
I still think if it's more thanlike two times or three times during dinner
and that that's really weird. Andhow is he eating? Yeah? What
(23:56):
how much air are you drink?So it's like he's take your better fee,
take your better fee. You know, maybe he's drinking soda the whole
time. Maybe I would take awaythe soda so you did. The dad
is not the a hole. Nofor laughing that. No, that is
if nothing else works, that isthe perfect experience. I hope that it
(24:18):
teaches the son to not do that. Yeah, I'm not sure it will.
If he's like upset about it,it seems like I'm just confused.
It's diffusing that the dad has alsotold him so many times like, yeah,
I think need to figure out.If the sun didn't help it,
I can't help. He did sayin the post that I know that the
thing is he can control himself.When I remind him that sounds like something
(24:40):
your parents says, though, butthey don't actually know that. Yeah,
you know, I mean that,like if it's truly like the thing is
if it is a condition where hehas to burp, he should have said
to the girlfriend, I'm not goingto meet your parents over a meal.
Yeah, you know, like heseems to think that that is not a
p problem, and that is theproblem, you know, like that is
(25:03):
not that is not a good wayto meet your girlfriend's parents for the first
time. I do think the dadwas a little insensitive if the son was
really upset, even if it washis own doing. Laughing is not very
nice. I think that's what youwould do as a parent. Yes,
I think I'm probably an a whole, right, so that's okay. Yeah,
(25:27):
but no, I think that dadis not an a whole. Yeah,
the sun sounds like you might bean a whole. Not that I
really want to follow up to this, Like I'm confused about it. I
have a video of how he Ohmy God, between every better food he
(25:48):
inhales deeply man the poor, Likeit's just funny. The people who are
the subjects of this, I wonderif they know that the dad posted this.
They probably don't. That's why wedon't give names, you know anything
like that. Yeah, I'm andit's always anonymous. From now I will
be given a name and location.Yeah, oh my god, I just
hit my microphone. Oh I wastrying to scooch anyway, that was our
(26:11):
episode. That was our episode.I liked here what you do with our
empty book case behind us? Well, it sounds very activly in my ears,
so hopefully it sounds so highth forall of you. If you enjoyed
this episode, don't forget to likecomment, review all of that stuff.
And it's a junk yard out there. And at this junk yard, refilm
(26:33):
that disabled people are perfect. Ohthat's nice, old mod to that one.
We'll not forget. Goodbye, andonce again, thank you to the
