Episode Transcript
Speaker 0 00:00:00 Welcome back to another episode of What Goes Down in Apartment one R with
Speaker 1 00:00:03 Michael and Holly. We are back for a new episode and we miss you guys. We miss you. What pisses you off?
Speaker 0 00:00:15 Oh, you know what I was thinking about is people who call out a lot. I'm just saying it's not No,
Speaker 1 00:00:20 Fuck you. You're not calling out.
Speaker 0 00:00:21 It's not a good look. It's not a good look. Um, you get away with it. I know. You get away with it. Every single job, people who call out, they get away with it.
Speaker 1 00:00:28 Tell the children how you got away with being late for a little bit and you reprimanded your boss <laugh>.
Speaker 0 00:00:33 Well, okay, so not showing up, calling out. So there's a thing, there's people who are have the habit. I guess maybe they're both the same. I do have a bad habit of showing up late at my current job. They're very lenient about that. And I was showing up about 10 minutes to 30 minutes late every day. I just, I don't know, I just, bad habit every time I was running to the subway. It's weird to know that you're doing something wrong and you're capable of changing it. It's, this is
Speaker 1 00:01:00 What I said in two podcasts ago. I was like, do you know what it's like to be the problem? But I feel like it's so
Speaker 0 00:01:05 Weird.
Speaker 1 00:01:05 It's different for you though because you are someone who's always booked. Every time I look at you, even if we sit down, I'm like, let's watch this episode of something. You still have a project in front of you on your lap. You're half paying attention. Like you're always in work mode.
Speaker 0 00:01:17 I guess it's part of my habits. It's not comfortable for me to feel unproductive. But if you're someone who calls out a lot for like personal days or whatever, you'll get away with it. Honest truth is you'll get away with it. I've just seen everybody get away with it and I've been jealous of them. Oh no.
Speaker 1 00:01:32 But just get away with it
Speaker 0 00:01:33 And I feel jealous of them for being capable, having the bravery in the balls to call out that easily.
Speaker 1 00:01:40 I've only called out like actually been like, hi, I'm scheduled for today, but I'm not coming in. That's only happened like a couple of times and it's because I'm literally throw throwing up
Speaker 0 00:01:51 Or covid. It's throwing up a covid. It's throw cold, you're going to work because
Speaker 1 00:01:55 It's like covid. It's like, yeah, I could work, but like I would be canceled if I came into work. You know? It's very like scarlet a, it's very like witch trial. It's very like I have covid so I can't come in or it's, I'm literally, if I come into work, I will be bloodshot eyes caved over into the corner throwing up a, a pile of blood. It's just not cute. Those are the times when you call out.
Speaker 0 00:02:17 And I will say that people who call out a lot, you will probably have coworkers talking shit about you.
Speaker 1 00:02:23 Oh, you always will. Because one thing people will do is talk shit. I'm on both ends of the pendulum swing because I've been places where like I have coworkers who are like, Hey, I'm at work today and I'm the most sick, disgusting person in the entire world. My DNA is all over everywhere and I'm horribly disgustingly sick. And I'm like, bitch, say the fuck home. What the fuck are you doing here? But at the same time I'm like, if you were home, I would have to, you know, do double the amount of work. So it's like a selfish And
Speaker 0 00:02:51 The other thing is you never know when someone's faking it. So, oh,
Speaker 1 00:02:54 You know. Oh, you know.
Speaker 0 00:02:55 Well if they do it a lot, it's when you do it once in a while you'll, if you're being honest, you'll be trusted. If you are sick, how many times do people get sick? Unless you're eating fried chicken every day. If you're sick and you're being honest and you don't go to work cause you're sick, that's gonna happen maybe two times a year. Worst three times a year. If you're calling out every other week, you're a fucking liar. No. If you're
Speaker 1 00:03:17 Calling out every other week, can boss, you need to go to a doctor.
Speaker 0 00:03:19 If you're calling out every other week, you're probably just getting used to the fact that no one's firing you because you're calling out. And so you have a party to go to some sort of festival. I
Speaker 1 00:03:30 Said, who the fuck are you with a party to go to bitch?
Speaker 0 00:03:32 What sort of festival concert? If you're calling out that much, we know. We know you're getting used to it.
Speaker 2 00:03:39 Oh my God, we're rolling. She's thoughts now. She's never gonna finish. Throw up the goddamn door. Fuck you up. Literally we're rolling the job, the economy, don't me, 10 minutes now. Then maybe you should ask yourself if you are the problem. Um, he has some, he has issues. Um, do I need to tone it down? Do I need to tone everything down?
Speaker 0 00:04:13 For the first time I started working around kids. Although I got myself out of it. I told my manager, I can't do it. I can't do it. There's kids running around, they're screaming. It's really scary. I don't think I can do this.
Speaker 1 00:04:26 Ugh, it sounds like six flags with none of the fun. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>.
Speaker 0 00:04:29 I don't know. I guess everywhere I've worked, usually the parents order, um,
Speaker 1 00:04:34 Ah, the parents better order.
Speaker 0 00:04:35 If you're a barista, it's once in a while that you have to deal with a child. And
Speaker 1 00:04:39 Like I said, once is one too many, it's too much. It's for some people, it's not for me. Right.
Speaker 0 00:04:45 When I had to work next to a daycare situation, which is right next to the cafe where I worked a couple times, few times and I'm sorry, I always lose my train of thought. Always. It's an issue. <laugh>, listen,
Speaker 1 00:04:58 We're working through it.
Speaker 0 00:04:59 It's an issue. You
Speaker 1 00:05:00 Had to work with the kid.
Speaker 0 00:05:01 I had to. Yeah. They were running around. They were running into the cafe. I'm not kidding. They were running into the cafe and I was like, shoe get out.
Speaker 1 00:05:08 I would've got my lifeguard now running in the lobby. I would've been,
Speaker 0 00:05:11 I don't have the ability to have that strong authority voice. I don't know to be like the older people that I saw as a kid who are like, you're not allowed in here. Like I don't have the ability to do that to others. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:05:21 Because I feel like I talk to kids like they're adults. One thing I hate is when parents use you as a learning opportunity for their children. Like they're like, tell the nice man what you wanna order and the little girl's like you tell no, like can you just order for the kid? There's a line growing behind you. I'm already pissed off. I don't do the whole lean into the kid and go, oh ooh, I don't do all that. You know? I'm like, hello ma'am, how can I help you to the four year
Speaker 0 00:05:48 Old? And then when they're like say thank you and then the kid says thank you. And I'm like, you're welcome. Yes. Like, how are you supposed to say it?
Speaker 1 00:05:54 It's almost like a learning lesson. Like you have to be part of the learning lesson. I
Speaker 0 00:05:59 Guess you could just be like, you're welcome <laugh>.
Speaker 1 00:06:01 That's what I do. I like,
Speaker 3 00:06:03 Can I have a daddy
Speaker 1 00:06:04 Coke? I'm like, that will be $7. Thank you. Have a nice day. Do you want cha? Oh, you didn't sign your receipt ma'am. <laugh>,
Speaker 0 00:06:12 In addition to working with kids, what I saw was something I haven't seen in a long time. The mothers of kids, specifically when they're around their kids, because when they're not around their kids, I don't know, they're just regular normal adults. But when they're around their kids they turn on this PTA mom mode. I literally haven't seen that mode since elementary school and I don't like that mode. I don't like it.
Speaker 1 00:06:36 Look, I don't wanna hang out with the PTA mom cuz I know plenty of moms. But they're not, not that. It's
Speaker 0 00:06:42 Kind of like, cuz they're still with their kids so they continue talking to you like an authority figure. Like a teacher. Teachers were always so extra as kids when you're older they might curse with you, they laugh with you, but when you're a kid they'll scream at you. Mm-hmm <affirmative>. And they don't scream at adults. You don't scream at adults. You don't do that. If someone says something that you don't like, you're just like, oh, that's awkward.
Speaker 1 00:07:05 But at the same time, imagine being in a room full of six year olds that are screaming and you're like,
Speaker 3 00:07:10 Shut the fuck down. Set the
Speaker 1 00:07:13 Fuck down. Like I don't blame them every once in a while if they're, if they're all outta control as a six year old did I love it? No, but I was also very well-behaved. I minded my business. So if there were screaming kids and I was, I would scream if I had to, but I don't want to. And that's why I'm not a teacher and that's why I don't surround myself with children, you know? But if you are in that, you gotta yell. No running at the pool. Yeah, no running at the pool. Of course there's no running at the pool cuz this four year old's gonna jump or whatever. <laugh>, you know,
Speaker 0 00:07:42 I disagree a little bit and I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1 00:07:44 Like short, they could be extra sometimes. Sometimes it's not necessary. Rebecca has a nosebleed. We don't need to also be making her cry on top of it. But other times it's, sit the fuck down you
Speaker 0 00:07:54 Brat. No, it's not just that. And I'll tell you why I have a memory. Do you remember Mrs.
Speaker 1 00:07:59 <unk>? If you're asking if I remember elementary school, I don't remember. You don't
Speaker 0 00:08:03 Remember Ms. <unk> She, I think she was an assistant teacher. She was something, but she wasn't like a main teacher.
Speaker 1 00:08:08 The name sounds a little familiar.
Speaker 0 00:08:10 She had a daughter who also worked there and
Speaker 1 00:08:13 Oh, that sounds familiar.
Speaker 0 00:08:14 Yeah. I remember at lunchtime this became like a thing. We were trying to guess her first name. I remember she was like, you guys are never gonna guess it. And then it became this thing where like for months we were trying to guess her name. Gwe Avive. We finally figured it out. Or she probably told us, I don't know, her name is
Speaker 1 00:08:29 Peggy. So now we have her full government name on the pod. <laugh>, hi Peggy <unk>
Speaker 0 00:08:34 <laugh>. And then in class to Mrs. <unk>. I was like, Peggy's so pretty, I wa I wanted, I don't know, I wanted to use her name or something. I was like feeling proud that I knew her first name. So I just wanted to, I guess I, I don't know what my child mind was thinking either way. It's not that big a deal. It really isn't. No,
Speaker 1 00:08:50 It's a little compliment. She
Speaker 0 00:08:52 Screamed at me. I'm not kidding. She screamed at me. She was like, don't you dare use her first name. You would not say that to another adult. Yeah. And I don't know how you can get into that zone to just start talking to another human being like that because
Speaker 1 00:09:06 They don't, and because
Speaker 0 00:09:07 We're, because they're kids and they're, and I guess right. Or it's like an authority thing. When
Speaker 1 00:09:11 I was in elementary school, I remember I called my teacher Tuts. Oh, oh my God. Because I had no idea what that meant. <laugh>, hold on. I had no idea what that meant. And it just sound, <laugh> sounded like a funny name. So I was like, Hey Tuts. Oh my God. And I was screamed at, but that was well deserved. So you know, there's a line because at the same time you do, I mean yelled at, define yelled at too. Cuz there's a difference between just like raising your voice and being stern and then being like, you wait idiot yet <laugh>, you know, <laugh>. So
Speaker 0 00:09:43 You could be like, Hey, don't say that. I
Speaker 1 00:09:45 Feel like that's what Ms. Tut said to me. I don't remember who I said, I don't remember what I said it.
Speaker 0 00:09:49 You could easily just be like, Hey, don't say that. Maybe that is what they do. And as kids we perceive it as more. Yeah,
Speaker 1 00:09:55 That's
Speaker 0 00:09:56 Possible. Although, no, I, I feel like I remember the experience of growing older and experiencing adults differently. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:10:03 I re I've always wanted to be an adult looking obviously it's like I should have enjoyed my childhood and been like a little kid. But I just always wanted to be in the adult circle. I hated being a kid. I remember finally being like, yes, I'm an adult. I'm being treated like an adult at some point in life. Like I'm no longer being talked down to like a little kid. I remember noticing the difference.
Speaker 0 00:10:21 Yeah. Yeah. I hated being a kid. There's so many reasons. You just can't do whatever the fuck you want. It's, you're so dependent as a child.
Speaker 1 00:10:30 So dependent. Someone
Speaker 0 00:10:31 Else literally controls your life. Although I was not controlled, I don't know how much my parents controlled my life. I don't feel like a lot. They didn't really control my life a lot. But the teachers did. When you were in school, the teachers did, and I always remember and the p t moms thought they had some level of control over other kids that weren't theirs.
Speaker 1 00:10:50 Ew. Okay. So my mom would let a bitch have it. Would she? She's very, I'm staying out of the drama. She is rolling her eyes at all the PTA moms. But if she had to step in there, she would step in there real quick and remind a bitch who she is.
Speaker 0 00:11:03 When we were leaving elementary school,
Speaker 1 00:11:05 Hags. Hags have a great summer hashtag hags,
Speaker 0 00:11:08 What's it called? So the yearbook photos. I don't know if you remember all the pages in the book. The yearbook, they were falling out. Reiki dki. Yeah, it was like a glued type situation. Sort of like the spine or whatever. So they were all falling out. So I remember, I guess J'S was open already and school was still going.
Speaker 1 00:11:26 So J'S is our local pool growing up.
Speaker 0 00:11:28 Yeah. The local pool just around the corner from our elementary school. It was opened up. Me and this girl Marissa that I was friends with. We stumbled upon a PTA mom and I don't know how the conversation got brought up, but basically Marissa was like, oh yeah, actually we went to Staples and we got the yearbook. The binding spiral. Yeah, we got the spiraling, we got a spiral binding for the book. The pages were falling out. Me and my mom, we went to Staples, we got it fixed up and then the PTA mom was like, it was James. I'm not gonna put it in, but it was James <unk> Mom
Speaker 1 00:11:58 Of course bleep that out. But like if you know, you know, you
Speaker 0 00:12:02 Just know the faces because somehow they infiltrated. Not that I have full memories of what his mom is like, but I know that she was in infiltration and then she was like, excuse me, that's not your job. That's not your job. We're taking those books back and we're gonna do it. She started yelling at her because she went independently to Staples to get her,
Speaker 1 00:12:21 Because her and her mom had a love with the little activity. Yeah.
Speaker 0 00:12:24 They were being productive. Her mom was like, oh the pages are falling out. This is your yearbook from your elementary school. That's important. Let's go make sure that those pages don't continue to fall out.
Speaker 1 00:12:33 And Mrs over here had a problem. Some
Speaker 0 00:12:36 Random ass parent, Mrs.
Speaker 1 00:12:37 <unk> <laugh>, <laugh> some, some Mrs. Lady parent, some
Speaker 0 00:12:41 Random ass pta. Mom is now screaming at a child's about that. What you're
Speaker 1 00:12:45 Doing screaming at a child. It's
Speaker 0 00:12:46 Really weird. It's really weird
Speaker 1 00:12:48 When I say, oh, I condone like yelling at children. I mean like, you know, reprimanding them when you have to. I don't mean going out here and screaming at someone's child for no, what are you doing? And
Speaker 0 00:12:59 It had an effect on me because my parents were not like that. And I'm assuming yours weren't either. Um, they
Speaker 1 00:13:05 Wouldn't even say hello to another child, let alone like scream at once.
Speaker 0 00:13:08 <laugh>. It was always weird being around PTA moms because I always felt like you're being way more bossy than my own mother is. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:13:16 So who do you think don't like
Speaker 0 00:13:17 It? I don't like it. Not one bit. I don't like being around you. You're controlling your weird, your vibe is like really tense right now. Your energy's
Speaker 1 00:13:25 Off and you're miserable and it's showing, you're projecting your misery all over the world and all over little children all over the planet.
Speaker 0 00:13:32 It's like the reason why there was this slightly off thing about going on field trips. Like if we were to go somewhere fun on a field trip with school, I would not wanna go. I remember thinking whatever fun things we ever did. Like we went to medieval times I think. Right. That was fun. I didn't wanna go because I had already been there with my family and I remember being like, no. Like now I'm gonna have to be walking around in a line. Pta moms telling us we can't go here and we can't go there. It's so much more fun when you're with your own family and you're not under the guidance of teachers and t a moms <laugh>.
Speaker 1 00:14:04 It's like I, that's just a life that I'm so far away from now that I forget it. Yeah,
Speaker 0 00:14:08 That's what I'm saying. I forgot it. It was just this awful thing. Then middle school and we didn't have to deal with p t moms anymore. And now I'm seeing it again in this, but like
Speaker 1 00:14:17 From a new perspective, from a coul perspective.
Speaker 0 00:14:20 And it's just as bad <laugh>. It's It's triggering.
Speaker 1 00:14:24 It's triggering. It really
Speaker 0 00:14:25 Is like seeing them. I'm like, I hate you. I hate your vibe. Get your controlling P t A mom vibe away. Get it away.
Speaker 1 00:14:32 I feel like I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum where every once in a while, cause I'm a bartender, but like obviously it's a restaurant at movie theater, like there's still kids there. Every time I see a kid, nine times outta 10 in my head, what I'm thinking is, where the fuck is your parent? Someone needs to get this kid under control. He's screaming, he's running around where there's people bringing hot trays of food. He's sitting at the bar. Someone needs to come here and yell at this kid. It's not gonna be me <laugh>, but someone needs to get their PTA mom attitude on right
Speaker 0 00:14:59 Now. No, I feel like what is needed is not PTA mom. It's get
Speaker 1 00:15:03 Over here. Yes. It's the lips curled inward. It's the <laugh>. That's what's needed. It's
Speaker 0 00:15:09 The parent's head turning towards you sharply eyes wide.
Speaker 1 00:15:13 Kayla Lane knows the face because me and her at work all the time will just be like Kayla Lane per your now
Speaker 0 00:15:19 <laugh>. And that's fair because that's a mother Mother, right? Who's had enough, her kids are running around. I get that. You know what? I prefer that. I love it
Speaker 1 00:15:27 Because
Speaker 0 00:15:28 It shows a level of nastiness. <laugh>. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:15:30 Don't get nasty with it.
Speaker 0 00:15:31 She's had multiple children come out of her vagina. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. She's walking around, she's cooking, she's doing the laundry, whatever. She's not here
Speaker 1 00:15:38 To play games.
Speaker 0 00:15:39 P t moms are like, we have a maid and we have enough time on our hands to complain about the school district.
Speaker 1 00:15:45 PTA moms are like the now version of those 1950s commercials of like how to style your hair like lady, you know, like that vibe. 1950s, every rose garden needs a perfect lady. Gardening it. That energy is pta. Moms manifested today.
Speaker 0 00:16:02 My theory is that PTA moms are women with money, but they don't make the money. They're not working. Maybe they are, I don't know. But I would assume that if you're working, you just don't have enough time. You have the babysitter, you have the Y M C A, you pick 'em up, you go home working mothers, they don't have the time, but it's the mothers who they're, or fathers. I don't know if there's P c A fathers, but the mothers who don't have jobs, they have too much time on their hands. They're bored. They're getting involved. Yeah. And they shouldn't. It's a horrible presence. <laugh>,
Speaker 1 00:16:31 If your hobby is bringing misery through the hallways of an elementary school, you're a weirdo. You know? Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. Like if that's something you look forward to,
Speaker 0 00:16:38 If you're listening on your way to work, on your way home, on your commute, while you're doing dishes, while you're doing laundry,
Speaker 1 00:16:47 If you think Holly is the most disgusting and horrible editor you've ever met in your entire life, don't comment, don't comment.
