Roasty Toasty Ghosty
Roasty Toasty Ghosty — The comedy class no one asked for, and everyone needs.
Each week, Lauren and Mattias “teach” you something completely useless — from fake history lessons and chaotic crash courses to games, quizzes, and whatever else their sleep-deprived brains come up with. Think educational chaos… but make it funny.

We catch up on the week that somehow includes a crashed work party, a kid’s class trip, and a last-minute exam scramble. Then we pivot into movie night with Cliffhanger and Anger Management before turning the whole thing into a “how to” guide for social chaos and workplace self-sabotage.
• crashing a work party without being a menace
• winning a last-minute party competition and debating fairness
• Mother’s Day treats, hair fixes, and small-life resets
• class trip biking, beach time, and why we talk to kids over adults
• missing an exam slot, killing time for hours, and surviving the stress
• a final spoken test, leadership questions, and the art of listening
• Cliffhanger recap, plot questions, and why it still works
• Anger Management recap, secondhand frustration, and the parts we like
• a crash course on party etiquette plus the worst ways to do it
• speedrunning getting fired, corporate jargon, and fake job titles

SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00And you got a little bit dipsy.
SPEAKER_02Yep.
SPEAKER_00And you were dancing in your chair. Yeah. And you almost broke the table. I swear you were drumming on that table so hard. I had to like hold on to the table because I was like really nervous that it was just gonna break right through.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Uh but you you participated in an activity.
SPEAKER_02Oh yeah, I did.
SPEAKER_00Last minute. I kept pushing you the whole time, but you were so shy. So nervous.
SPEAKER_02I wasn't drunk enough.
SPEAKER_00No, but when you got drunk enough, you got up and you participated in this activity uh competition. Yeah, packing competition for stuff. And and you won.
SPEAKER_02I did.
SPEAKER_00Because your other person just pushed their package off the table.
SPEAKER_02She was unlucky.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02I mean she would have won if uh she didn't do that.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Because uh and I told her afterwards, I'm like, you would have won.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02No question about that.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. But but you won.
SPEAKER_02I did. And it was technically fun. Yeah. I also like hesitated if I should ding the bell or not. Because it it felt unfair. Unfair to her. But I'm like, I can't I can't not ding the belly.
SPEAKER_00Right. Right. Um, but yeah, we went and we had a good time. Yeah, we did. Um I got to dress up fancy. That was nice.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I kind of dressed up fancy.
SPEAKER_00You dressed up Matias fancy.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00And yeah, that's what happened.
Walks, Mother’s Day, And Hair Fixes
SPEAKER_00On Sunday, we went for a walk.
SPEAKER_02We did. That was really nice.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. It was really warm though.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00The sun was beating hard on the earth.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00And it was really warm.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. The the sun got a beat.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. We could hear it. No, not hear it. Feel it vibrating on earth.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. I do enjoy having the walks and talks with you.
SPEAKER_00It was nice. There was also FICA.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00We also had FICA.
SPEAKER_02Because also it was Mother's Day.
SPEAKER_00It was Mother's Day. And I did get something from my life partner and sick child. I got a ginormous flower, the one on the table. That is blooming now. And as it's blooming, it is dropping seeds on the table. There are loose seeds inside these bulbs, and they are just falling all over the place. It's really pretty though. I also got a chocolate bar and an energy drink.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_00So that was nice.
SPEAKER_02Nice stuff.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. And on Monday I got my hair fixed again. Oh. I said in a previous episode, after I got my hair fixed last time, that I was probably gonna go in and get it fixed again because I wasn't satisfied completely with the color, and now I am. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02And it was free. The best part. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00It was free because I had a student do it. Because the original person who had done my hair the first time, she wasn't available. So I got a student. And she did good. Good. She had help. It was good. I like my hair now. It's good. It's brighter.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. We also fixed my head. Oh, yeah. We've done Sunday.
SPEAKER_00I shaved your head.
SPEAKER_02Yep. Shaved my head. Yep. It was good. Yeah. It was also for free.
SPEAKER_00Yes. I did that for free.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Well, in exchange for FICA, maybe.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, that's true. Yes. Well, I didn't pay for FICA either, so No, I guess not.
SPEAKER_00It was free for me. It was free for everyone. Yeah. Except your mom. I think she paid for it. Oh yeah. I worked on Tuesday. With you.
SPEAKER_02Yes. That's true.
SPEAKER_00That's all I did that day. Oh, and then we went to the store. Oh yeah. We went.
SPEAKER_02You got a helmet.
SPEAKER_00Ah, that's right. We went we went into town. We got myself a helmet. We got me a helmet. And then we went to the grocery store and went grocery shopping. And then I brought you home.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
SPEAKER_00That's what happened.
Biking Trip And Hanging With Kids
SPEAKER_00Yep. I needed a helmet because on Wednesday I went on a class trip with my daughter. It was her class, not mine. And we went biking out into the woods.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, you said it was fun, right?
SPEAKER_00It was fun. I made friends with my daughter's friends.
SPEAKER_02Ah, okay.
SPEAKER_00Which is kind of funny. You know what? I noticed for after my oldest's class trip last year when we went to the amusement park. And then this time, when I went with my daughter, I'm hanging out with my kids and their friends.
SPEAKER_02Okay.
SPEAKER_00The other parents who are volunteering are hanging out with each other. I noticed that's the difference because I'm out here playing with the kids. I'm running around and I'm like, you know, playing with the sticks in the woods and everything. And all the parents, they're just sitting around talking to each other. I don't talk to them.
SPEAKER_02No.
SPEAKER_00I don't talk to them. I don't know. Well, I know I know of them.
SPEAKER_02Why would you talk to adults?
SPEAKER_00I don't really know, but I thought that we were supposed to hang out with the kids.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00And I mean, at least supervise them. And I'm supervising them while I'm hanging out with them and playing with them. With your stick. With my stick from the woods. I slap them around a bit. Show them who's boss.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, if they don't behave.
SPEAKER_00Every time they say, You're so nice, I smack them with my stick and say, Shut up. Don't you dare say that. Not to me.
SPEAKER_01No.
SPEAKER_00No, thank you. Watch your mouth, lady.
SPEAKER_02Here's for you calling me nice.
SPEAKER_00Right.
SPEAKER_02Schmack.
SPEAKER_00Uh, so we we went hiking, like a mini hiking, and we had lunch on like this mountain in quotations.
SPEAKER_02Okay.
SPEAKER_00Because it was high up.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, it wasn't the mountain we club.
SPEAKER_00No. And then we biked to the beach. And we hung out on the beach for a couple hours. And I didn't bring my swimsuit, but I was wearing active wear so that it I could like go out into the water. And if my shorts got wet, no big deal, because they're gonna dry off soon anyway. So I I hung out in the water and then I dried off and you know, I played with the kids.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
SPEAKER_00And it was it was a lot of fun. The whole day was a lot of fun. And then right after uh we got back to the school, my daughter and I went to the city. She wanted to go shopping for the same city that we were in. No, no, the city that I work in.
SPEAKER_02Okay. Yeah, oh yeah. Yeah. Makes sense.
SPEAKER_00Uh because I was gonna go to work that evening, but I had a little bit of time to go with her and look for uh clothes for the last day of school.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Which is next week.
SPEAKER_02Okay, that's next week.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, Thursday. And then she got a milkshake and I sent her home on a bus. Goodbye. Yeah. And I worked. Anyway. That was Wednesday. Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_02Okay.
Missed Exam Slot And A Long Day
SPEAKER_00Yesterday was Thursday.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00I worked that evening. Oh, yesterday. Wasn't a very good day for me.
SPEAKER_05Oh no.
SPEAKER_00No. Okay. So uh I had my final written test for this course that I'm taking yesterday. That's when I booked it at some point yesterday. Okay. It was taking place in the same city that I work in again.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
SPEAKER_00So uh I had booked it for at some point before I had to go to work.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
SPEAKER_00I was thinking that I had booked it at 1145. And so uh I got there and I didn't see anyone. So I looked at my calendar to see what time I wrote down there, and it said 245. It's like, okay. Then I'm way too early. And then I went to the booking page and it said eleven. And I had gotten to the city at eleven and had already like gone somewhere to get something to eat. Yeah. So like it was past eleven at this point. So I had missed it. So I uh looked to see if I could rebook it.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Like, okay, well, I'll have to come back another day, right? No, there were more times the same day. So I took the one o'clock slot, but still it's like 11 45 now.
SPEAKER_06What am I gonna do? Yeah.
SPEAKER_00So I wandered around and I went into some stores, wandered there, and like, oh my god, there was so much wandering yesterday. I was so bored and I was tired and thirsty. I was just thirsty all the time because I I drink a lot of water normally. Yeah. And it was wet and warm. So it was like a blah feeling outside. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02It was like jungle.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. It's like it's nice that it's warm. And sure, I guess it's okay that it's raining, a little bit at least, but overall it's just not feeling great. It's like I'm sweating all over. Yeah. So that was that was the weather all day. And then one o'clock comes around, and I go in and I take my test, and it wasn't that bad. It was two questions, had to like elaborate on something. Um, and I was done in half an hour. Okay. So here we are. It's 3 30. I don't start work until sorry, it's 1 30. I don't start work until 5. Now what? Like I'm not really hungry.
SPEAKER_06No.
SPEAKER_00I don't really I don't know what to do. So it was like, should I go watch a movie? Uh well, there's nothing really I want to watch, and the times uh that are showing anything are kind of inconvenient.
SPEAKER_01Watch Michael again.
SPEAKER_00I considered it. Yeah. But um it was gonna end like really close to when I had to get out, and you know how it can be unpredictable with like the the commercials and everything that they show and like the 15 minutes of advertisements that are required. Uh so I don't wanna take my chances with that. Then again, it wouldn't really matter. I've seen it twice.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Uh I did not watch a movie. I also considered just like seeing if I could find like a drop-in massage. Like, you know what? I have so much time to find a drop-in massage. I couldn't find one, I didn't look that hard either. It's just like whatever, I don't care. I don't want to do anything. And I'm still like, I'm not hungry, but I went and found a cheeseburger anyway.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Oh, it was so boring. And I wandered so much. And then I went to work.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Had fun at work.
SPEAKER_00No, because there were higher ups there. And my shift manager is already like a stressed kind of person, even when she doesn't really need to be stressed.
SPEAKER_02Okay.
SPEAKER_00So she is like overkill, stressed. Yeah. And she's like, oh well, we can't start cleaning up yet because they're here and they don't like it when you start cleaning too early. And she's like freaking out, and like when orders were coming in, she was just like trying to take everything over for me, and she's like pushing me around. Oh my god, it was ridiculous. She was so stressed, and I was getting annoyed. It was like I got to the point where I was like calling her by name, like just uh and then I gave her a little attitude, and I think she kind of got it. She's like, Can you do this? And I'm like, fine. And she's like, Okay, I'll do it myself.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Oh my goodness. We didn't get out that late though. It wasn't that bad. Anyway, I got home and it was fine.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Ugh. Not a fun day.
SPEAKER_02No. And I got a text yesterday from my uh landlady.
SPEAKER_00Okay.
SPEAKER_02She's like, uh, I just wanted to say that uh or I just want to remind you about the rent. I forgot to pay it.
SPEAKER_00You forgot to pay the rent?
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Oh my god, you're late.
SPEAKER_01Well, I did it immediately when I saw those picks.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Oh my goodness. But today's Friday. Yeah. I had my final spoken test
Final Oral Test And Leadership Talk
SPEAKER_00today. Which was kind of funny. Uh, actually. Because first of all, it starts off as pretty much every meeting ever with technical issues. I wanted to start my meeting in here.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_00I wanted to have it in here. Sometimes it works, but sometimes the internet isn't that great in here. Okay. So um I had to like turn off my video and my microphone, run to my bedroom, and Sick Child sitting in there, and I'm like, get out! I have to have the room.
SPEAKER_02Okay.
SPEAKER_00Like, get out, get out, get out. He's like, okay, and he got out. He was really nice about it. He actually listened without fighting me for once. I don't know what the big deal was, but whatever. But I got the technical stuff to settle down and work. And so we uh started off just like talking, you know, blah blah blah. How's the how'd the course go and everything? And then like, you know what? It was hard at first, but I kind of got a hang of it. Like, okay. And then he started asking me some questions, which I mean, oh no. I kind of yeah, that was the worst part was that he was actually testing me.
SPEAKER_02What the heck?
SPEAKER_00And it was a lot of like, um, do you know what this theory is? And do you know what this acronym stands for? And what is this concept about? And what does this and what is that? And a lot of the questions I was just like, honestly, I don't remember. I you know what, I I know it, but I'm blanking.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Which half true. Uh half true because I don't know it. I am completely blanking. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. A lot of the times I was just like, I I don't know. I don't remember. That wasn't all the questions though. I I did answer a couple of them by myself without assistance.
SPEAKER_01Hopefully, right?
SPEAKER_00I think so. I mean, maybe they're not perfectly worded answers. No, but they were with my own words. And I didn't use open eyes or anything. No, because I'm a good student. Oh wow. And oh wow. Um, yeah, and then he ended the conversation with well, based off of our conversation here today, I'm I feel pretty good about passing you in this course. I was like, okay. Wow, all right. I wasn't expecting that, but I'll take it. Thank you. Goodbye.
SPEAKER_02Are you sure about that?
SPEAKER_00Pretty much. Like, that's kind of what I was thinking. Like, what? Are you sure? Like, were you not here? Where were you? Where were you this whole time? Like, how confident are you really?
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00You can be honest.
SPEAKER_01What if he listens to this?
SPEAKER_00We were talking we were talking about leadership and giving feedback and taking feedback, and you know, your feedback isn't doing it it doesn't feel honest.
SPEAKER_02No. No.
SPEAKER_00But okay.
SPEAKER_02Isn't part of that like listening?
SPEAKER_00Yes. A big part of leadership is listening.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00But I passed my class.
SPEAKER_02He didn't do that too well.
SPEAKER_00I um was it? I'm not complaining. It was a he. Yes. Uh well, he was a he.
SPEAKER_02Okay, yeah.
SPEAKER_00And he didn't listen very well.
SPEAKER_02No, okay. Makes sense.
SPEAKER_00Uh male leadership.
SPEAKER_02What?
SPEAKER_00Yes. Thank you for listening. This was Roasty Toasty Goasty. We're gonna take a break, right?

SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Also other words that I'm missing. 2026.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, you can, you know, throw in all the words and people can puzzle it together themselves.
SPEAKER_00Movie one, Adam Sandler. Movie two, Sylvester Stallone. See, that's a puzzle. You have to switch them. So the first movie that we watched today was Cliffhanger.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_00And then with Adam Sandler. And and uh Gomez Adams. And uh the second movie, oh yeah, uh also Nick Cage, no. Uh Nicholson Jackelson. Jackal Nicholson.

SPEAKER_06No.
SPEAKER_00Stallone and uh the the guy, the bad guy. Yeah. Lethal no John Lithow. John Lithgow. Anyway, I'm gonna tell you about Cliffhanger.
Cliffhanger Recap And Hot Takes
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_00This is a movie with Sylvester Stallone.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Now we got it right.
SPEAKER_00He uh liked to climb mountains. He's a mountain man.
SPEAKER_02Yep.
SPEAKER_00Uh rock climber guy.
SPEAKER_02Rocky climber.
SPEAKER_00He's uh Rocky, Rocky on the Rocky Mountain. Sss, Colorado.
SPEAKER_02He's Rocky Mountain.
SPEAKER_00He is the Rocky Mountain. And uh he saves people. And then he quit because he dropped his girlfriend to the the bottom of the Grand Canyon or something. But they're in Colorado. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01So Grand Colorado.
SPEAKER_00The Grand Colorado. He threw her really, really far to the Grand Canyon.
SPEAKER_01She's like, or he's like, look at this.
SPEAKER_00I I had a lot of questions.
SPEAKER_02Okay.
SPEAKER_00During this beginning part. This movie is from 93. It's 33 years old. Just as old as I almost am. Almost. I'm still 32. Just for the record. When this episode comes out, I will still be 32. Yeah. Alright, so everyone knows.
SPEAKER_02If we ask you one week later, then don't ask me. No, okay.
SPEAKER_00Don't don't ask me.
SPEAKER_02No, no.
SPEAKER_00I am 32 right now. We live in the moment.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00But we're talking about 93.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00So, uh, spoilers here. In the beginning, Stallone drops his girlfriend.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. For the top of a mountain. The other guy's girlfriend. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Oh, was it the other girl girl girl's guy friend? Right. The other guy's girlfriend. He drops her. So he gets a little sad, I guess. Yeah. Um, the thing is that her her uh harness or something got loose, and she's hanging there, she's dangling around, and so Stallone goes out to wherever she was, had like zero plan on how he was actually gonna save her. But he grabs her hand, and of course, she slips and falls. But like he's just like sitting there for so long, like no idea how he's gonna get back. So, first of all, he went out there without a plan. That was his first mistake. Also, there was a helicopter. Yeah. There was a helicopter, there was a girl driving, flying, flying this helicopter, and she could have helped, but they just they just stood there.
SPEAKER_02It's kind of weird because she uh lowers this wire so he can put the the wire across the the two cliffs. And I mean, why couldn't they just take them up instead?
SPEAKER_00I don't know. No, uh no, it's it was a very questionable situation. Anyway, um so that happened in the beginning, and then there's another situation in which Stallone is asked to go help some people on the mountain again, and he hesitates but he goes anyway, and then John Lithgow drops all of his money onto the mountain, and and he's the bad guy. He's the bad guy, and his money is in three suitcases, not suitcases, briefcases, and uh he wants them back and he kills everyone. Yep, that's the movie. That's the entire movie. What did this have to do with eating your friends though?
SPEAKER_02It didn't have anything to do with eating your friends, because I'm thinking that's uh alive.
SPEAKER_00Is that also still alone?
SPEAKER_02No.
SPEAKER_00Who's that?
SPEAKER_02That's uh is it like Ethan Hawk or something?
SPEAKER_00Oh I know you told me about Cliffhanger. Then that must not be hmm. Okay, whatever. Whatever. What do you think of the movie?
SPEAKER_02I think it's a good movie. I like this one. It's uh very uh I mean it's an action movie. It might not be very I mean it it's pretty stupid, but uh still enjoyable, and uh I mean I like the actors and I I really like John Lithgow as the bad guy. I love him and everything. Stallone does it well, he does his his thing, you know. It's directed by Rennie Harlan.
SPEAKER_00Die Hard.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, Die Hard 2. And yeah, so I do like this one. What did you think about this movie?
SPEAKER_00You like him. It's not a favorite. Okay, it had its moments. I'm gonna give it that though. It had its moments where it was exciting, but uh I did have a lot of questions. Okay. Uh so it didn't really make sense to me. Uh no. It could have been done differently.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, that's why I call it stupid.
SPEAKER_00I don't think it's I wouldn't call it stupid. No. It's questionable though. Um, it was okay. It was watchable. I could kind of follow it.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Which is important for me because otherwise I'm just like gone.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
SPEAKER_00But yeah, I I enjoyed it, but it wasn't a favorite.
SPEAKER_02Okay.
SPEAKER_00Is that okay?
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Okay. Anything else?
SPEAKER_02No, uh I think that's about that.
SPEAKER_00That's about that.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
Anger Management Recap And Cast Tangents
SPEAKER_00Next?
SPEAKER_02Next movie, Anger Management. A movie with Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson.
SPEAKER_00Right.
SPEAKER_02Adam Sandler is a not so angry, angry guy.
SPEAKER_00Internally angry.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. He well, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Implosive.
SPEAKER_02He I mean, I feel like he'sn't just a normal person. Who wouldn't get angry with all the situations he went through? I mean, anyone, anyone would be angry with all that. Anyhow, he has a bad day on a plane, and then he sits next to Jack Nicholson on the plane, and Jack Nicholson is like a anger manager.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. And so he's gonna help Adam Sandler getting over his anger.
SPEAKER_00Which he definitely has.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, sure.
SPEAKER_00According to everyone else.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. So he Jack Nicholson basically forces himself into Adam Sandler's life. Adam Sandler also has a girlfriend and stuff like that. So it's a romantic comedy, too.
SPEAKER_00In a way.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. At the end. So yeah, uh, that's basically it, right?
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02What did you think about this movie?
SPEAKER_00I do like this movie.
SPEAKER_02Okay.
SPEAKER_00I've seen it before.
SPEAKER_02Okay.
SPEAKER_00A couple times maybe. I do like this movie.

SPEAKER_02Yeah. John Tartaro.
SPEAKER_00I never made the connection. Let's see. He was the same guy.
SPEAKER_02Okay.
SPEAKER_00No one told me. I mean, I don't know. Because I see people, uh, a lot of the people, and it'll it feels like I've seen them somewhere. I don't know where, but I mean, usually when I look at IMDB, then I realize I haven't seen this person anywhere. They just look like someone else, I guess.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_00And so I just assume that's the case every time now. But that's so funny that it's the same guy. Because it's just like two complete different personalities, different people. It's funny.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Actors. Crazy.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Rob Schneider was not in this movie.
SPEAKER_06No, you wasn't.

SPEAKER_00Oh, that's okay. Alright, alright. Because I recognized him and I was like, it's not Regis.
SPEAKER_06No.

SPEAKER_00Then the must be the same person I'm thinking. Okay, okay. Huh. Okay. Alright.

SPEAKER_00Hmm. I heard that he got married to his what stepdad's daughter?
SPEAKER_02Oh, wait. Are you talking about Woody Allen?
SPEAKER_00Maybe.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.

SPEAKER_00Oh, that's sad, because I like him.
SPEAKER_02Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_00He's Buzz Lightyear. No, no, wait, no, who's that?
SPEAKER_02Tim Allen.
SPEAKER_00Tim Allen. Who's Woody Allen?
SPEAKER_02Woody Allen?
SPEAKER_00Uh oh my god, can people like stop having the same names? This is ridiculous.
SPEAKER_01Oh my god. Who's Woody Allen? Woody is the character from Toy Story and Tim Allen is the voice through another character. Yeah? Yeah, okay. What about Bus Hanks?
SPEAKER_00Bus Hanks?
unknownOkay.

SPEAKER_00I hated that guy. So mean.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Uh Woody Allen. Who's that? He's a really old guy. Oh. He's in um I don't know if we watched. Well, the only thing I think we watched with him in it was the weird Cassino Royale from the 60s. Uh the James Bond. James Bond spoon spinoff thing, whatever you was that with the other guy.
SPEAKER_00What's his name?
SPEAKER_02David Niven. Oh. Was in that one.

SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Well I don't like where this is going.
SPEAKER_02No, okay. Okay, so what did I think about anger management?
SPEAKER_00Yes. That's what I was saying.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. I I have to say that I'm not the biggest fan of this one. Because I mean, I feel so bad for Adam.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02His character. And Jack Nicholson is kind of annoying. Yeah. Mean, annoying. And yeah, it I don't know. I I feel for Adam's character so much in this one.
SPEAKER_00But it does have the West Side Story song in it.
SPEAKER_02It does. Yeah. And I knew I recognized it when we heard it in the West Side Story movie. Yeah. And I had to look it up. And I sent you Yeah. And I sent you the the clip from this one. Yeah. Yeah. It has good parts, but overall. Overall, it's not a favorite. Right. Okay. I I feel like it's kind of funny how we had the same feelings towards the other one's movie this week. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00You I think it's fair.
SPEAKER_02Cliffhanger is not one of your favorites, and Anger Management is not one of my favorites.
SPEAKER_00But they both are passable.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, still good movies.

Crash Course On Crashing Parties
SPEAKER_00Let's do a crash course.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00What are we crashing coursing?
SPEAKER_02How to crash a party.
SPEAKER_00Ooh. How to do it the right way.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00How to oh, crash course. On how to crash a party. We're just crashing. Crash a crash.
SPEAKER_05Crash a crash.
SPEAKER_00Crash a crash. Uh, if by crash a party you mean showing up to an event you're not invited to, the shortest crash course is don't sneak in, ask in. What? Okay. A respectful approach looks like this.
SPEAKER_05Okay.
SPEAKER_00One, find a connection. That's you. Yeah. If you know the host or a guest, ask whether it's okay to come. Did I ask you?
SPEAKER_02Oh, uh. Because you are the guest who I stuck to.
SPEAKER_00If I wanted to go. Yes. Okay. Do you want to crash this party?
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Okay.
SPEAKER_02Or I mean, or did you say like you wanted to go to one of those? Yes. We were talking about that.
SPEAKER_00Because last year I didn't go because I was working and then I went to the bar with some work friends after. So we were both drunk at the same time, just on separate sides of the train tracks, pretty much.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Uh railroad.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Uh the year before that. That I was in the States. I couldn't really go. The year before that, I was fighting a fever all the way to the bus and then gave up when the bus showed up. Pretty much. I was sad.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00So I can't make it.
SPEAKER_02I mean, 23, uh, that was the year when you got a fever and you wanted to go. 24, you wanted to go, but you couldn't because of your mom and you had to go to the States.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02And 25, you didn't work there anymore.
SPEAKER_00No.
SPEAKER_02So I was also You never got to go. I I kind of feel like we owed you this. Owed you this.
SPEAKER_00I don't know. Yeah. That's what I'm going with. Alright. Number two, be transparent while talking to your guest you're trying to stick attach yourself to.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_00A simple I heard about the party and it sounds fun. Would it be alright if I joined? It works surprisingly well. And it did.
SPEAKER_02I guess. I mean, you didn't talk about crashing a party at all. Like you just got there, went in inside and Yeah.
SPEAKER_00They just let me in. Oh. And then I was told that if they said anything, then they would have been rude and they didn't want to be rude. But I'm questioning like if uh security is really worth being polite over.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00You know?
SPEAKER_02Like anyone could have walked in.
SPEAKER_00I guess.
SPEAKER_02Because uh they don't want to be rude, so they let anyone in.
SPEAKER_00I guess so.
SPEAKER_02Sure. Makes no sense, but sure. Let's go with that.
SPEAKER_00Number three, accept the answer gracefully. Some parties have limited space budgets or are meant for a specific group. Which, yes, uh, well, there was limited space, but there was plenty of space. Yeah. The budget, I didn't use any of their money. No. I just existed in the place.
SPEAKER_02And you used the oxygen.
SPEAKER_00I used their oxygen, but I don't think anyone paid for it.
SPEAKER_02No.
SPEAKER_00It was meant for a specific group, which I have kind of been a part of for the past 10 years, even though I'm not part of it now.
SPEAKER_02I don't know. But you work for them in a way.
SPEAKER_00I still kinda work there. Anyway. Number four, contribute if invited. Bring snacks, drinks, or help with setup or cleanup. I didn't do any of that.
SPEAKER_02No.
SPEAKER_00I I I ate before I got there. That was me contributing to not being hungry.
SPEAKER_02You're welcome.
SPEAKER_00And I I drank the water. I drank two bottles of water. Big bottles of water. I was thirsty.
SPEAKER_02Oh yeah, you did. Couldn't have cost them much.
SPEAKER_00I don't think so.
SPEAKER_02No.
SPEAKER_00Number five, don't create host math. What's that? Every an unexpected guest can mean less food, less space, and more stress. I really hope I wasn't stressing anyone out. I was just sitting there. I just sat there. I didn't do anything.
SPEAKER_02You got some looks.
SPEAKER_00I got looks. I got questionable looks. Yeah. But what? Yeah. What? I'm just here.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00I'm not doing anything.
SPEAKER_02You did no harm.
SPEAKER_00I didn't. I didn't start a fight. I danced. I enjoyed the the atmosphere.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00And I enjoyed sitting there by myself.
SPEAKER_02Not by myself.
SPEAKER_00With you.
SPEAKER_02With me talking to me. Yeah. You were the only one talking to me.
SPEAKER_00Right. I mean, if I wasn't there, who were you gonna talk to?
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Nobody. No.
SPEAKER_00If you meant crash a party in the movie comedy sense, the fictional formula is usually confidence, uh convincing reason to be there. Yeah. Incredible luck. I don't know. A screenplay that ignores consequences.
SPEAKER_02Okay, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Real life tends to be less forgiving than the movies. Do you have questions?
SPEAKER_02The worst way to crash a party.
SPEAKER_00The worst way. That's a good way to go.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, so you know what not to do.
Worst Ways To Crash A Party
SPEAKER_00Okay. So the worst way to crash a party is probably to treat it like a stealth mission from a video game. Yeah. We're playing GTA now. Sneak in through a fence or a side entrance?
SPEAKER_02Like uh squat down or uh like if I crawled through or very sneaky.
SPEAKER_01Tuck and roll.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Just do like a dive roll. Yeah, like past.
SPEAKER_01Could have been your way into I'm dizzy. He's too bad.
SPEAKER_00Sneaky. Okay. Pretend to know the host. Okay. Except I do know the hosts. Yeah. Uh one of which is not that afraid or concerned about telling people off.
SPEAKER_06No.
SPEAKER_00So if he didn't want me there, he probably would have told me.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Despite the atmosphere, despite the risk of being rude.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_00If he thought I can't be there, he would say, What are you doing here? And this is not for you.
SPEAKER_02Then again, he he knows that you've been working there. Yeah. So maybe he doesn't know you're not working for the company anymore.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. I don't know.
SPEAKER_02Or honestly, I don't know. Or he knows and like was like, whatever. She's one of us. Yeah. She's always you know, she's worked here for so long before. So of course.
SPEAKER_00And yeah, I was told I had no right to be there by someone completely irrelevant.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Anyway. This same person who was telling me that I need to think of myself and not work so much and not work double shifts.
SPEAKER_02Such a contrast.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Like take care of yourself, but don't enjoy a good time.
SPEAKER_02No, don't go to the same party as well.
SPEAKER_00Go home and enjoy your life, but don't be here.
SPEAKER_02No.
SPEAKER_00Don't don't have a good time in my presence.
SPEAKER_02Maybe thought that you would work there.
SPEAKER_00Oh. I I considered asking for a job.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, so you could be there.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. I did it.
SPEAKER_02With permission.
SPEAKER_00But I thought about it.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Okay. Next one. Eat half the snacks before saying hello to anyone. Which yes. That sounds like me. That sounds uh very likely.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. If you hadn't eaten before.
SPEAKER_00I might have started, I might have been first in line to dinner. Fika. Look good. Oh yeah. Oh well. Start giving unsolicited speeches. I was not drunk enough. I was not drunk at all.
SPEAKER_01No, you weren't.
SPEAKER_00Announce who wants to hear my 47-slide presentation on municipal parking regulations? That sounds like fun.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Why did I spend so much time on this? I must be very proud.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_00I worked on this for my course, and I want everyone to know. It's on leadership and organization.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Good topic. Uh I'm gonna lead the traffic.
SPEAKER_00Get caught, then double down with actually you are not supposed to be here.
SPEAKER_01You're crashing my party.
SPEAKER_00This is my party. This room is double booked. Okay. That's the social equivalent of stepping on every rake in the garden.
SPEAKER_05Okay.
SPEAKER_00Ow. That usually hurts, right? I've never I don't know if I've actually stepped on a rake before.
SPEAKER_02Well, I've done it and uh but I got it in my ass. I didn't get it in my face. It was my ass or not.
SPEAKER_00How was that? Was it okay? It was okay. It was okay.
SPEAKER_02It was kind of funny.
SPEAKER_00Okay. You know what? Did I tell you about my ice skating incident? No. I used to take this is funny and kind of embarrassing at the same time. Okay. It's a good story, but maybe not. Anyway, let me prepare you for the story before I get into it.
SPEAKER_01Okay, so it might be good, it might be not good.
SPEAKER_00My mom used to pay for ice skating lessons. Okay. I was in a group, right? And you know, ice and ice skating, it's a bit slippery. I was hanging on the wall and I slipped, and my right foot went back right up my butt. Oh I got the blade like up my butt. Not like up the butt, but like it was in there. And it hurt so bad.
SPEAKER_01Did it like Did it go through my pants? Did it rip through your pants?
SPEAKER_00It might have. I don't remember. But it was like one of those moments where it's like so embarrassing. I don't want to talk about this. I don't want to tell anyone. I just want to make it look like, oh, I just slipped and fell.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00And like nothing more happened.
SPEAKER_01I didn't give a skate through my butt.
SPEAKER_00No, no, I didn't do that.
SPEAKER_01Why would you ask that? Oh, you didn't.
SPEAKER_00I might have told my mom after just because I mean there is a risk that I did get a hole in my pants because I only wore like jeans at the time. I didn't wear like leggings or anything.
SPEAKER_02Okay, okay.
SPEAKER_00So that would have definitely torn a hole.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Do you have any other stories of things going up your butt?
SPEAKER_01Uh no. I have to think about it.
SPEAKER_00Okay.
SPEAKER_01Not really. Well, well, the rake thing didn't really go up my butt. No. I I I just want to be clear.
SPEAKER_00I don't know how this happened, but it happened. Oh no.
SPEAKER_01It's a rake sticking out of my butt.
SPEAKER_00Oh no.
SPEAKER_01Not again.
SPEAKER_00I don't know how I keep managing.
SPEAKER_01Matthias, we need to talk about this. This is the third time.
SPEAKER_00Anyway.
SPEAKER_01No, it just hit my cheek. My cheek. Need to be really clear about this.
SPEAKER_00Here's the company party version, which is more relevant to our situation. Yeah. Okay. For a company party, the worst way to crash it's crash it. Crash it. It might look like a master class in career self-sabotage.
SPEAKER_02Okay. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Show up wearing a badge you printed at home. I don't know. My name is Lauren. Yeah. That's all. Oh no.
SPEAKER_02Or you you could write any
How To Speedrun Getting Fired
SPEAKER_02name if you like.
SPEAKER_00Oh yeah. My name is Matias.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Um. Then who's that? The bald guy.
SPEAKER_00He's also Matías.
SPEAKER_02He's another Matias.
SPEAKER_00Walk up to the CEO and say, Great meeting you again when you've never met.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00That's definitely something I would do because I might recognize the guy and be like, hey, how are you doing? You're like, um, okay. Introduce yourself as senior executive vice assistant regional director of a department that doesn't exist.
SPEAKER_05Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_00Senior executive, vice assistant regional director.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00So that makes you the second assistant to the regional director.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00So that's one, two, three.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Or you go there like, uh, hello, I'm your boss's boss.
SPEAKER_00Right. So um I own this company.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Who are you? Start answering questions directed at actual employees. So just interrupt conversations with your own answers. Yeah. I guess. Win a raffle prize and give an acceptance speech. Yay. Ask where payroll keeps the emergency cash reserves. Just asking for a friend who might be concerned. And end every conversation with so what's everyone's salary? How much do you make?
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00I know that I don't make nearly as much as I used to, but I still make money. Alright. In real life, attending a company event without authorization can lead to being asked to leave and depending on the circumstances, could create security or legal issues. But that would be rude, so we don't do that.
SPEAKER_02Okay.
SPEAKER_00Company gatherings often have guest lists precisely because they're tied to a workplace, private venue, or business function. Alright, next, how to purposefully get fired. My um corporate spre speed run to unemployment.
SPEAKER_02Okay, yes.
SPEAKER_00Okay, number one out of ten. Number two. Okay, no. Number one, the reply all evangelist. Send every send every thought to the entire company.
SPEAKER_05Okay.
SPEAKER_00Here's a suggestion. Does anyone know whose yogurt this is? Just send an email to everyone. Number two, the meeting maximalist. Turn every 15-minute meeting into a 90-minute discussion on whether folders are a social construct. Right. I'm guessing it could be any small subject as well.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Uh number three, the buzzword berserker. Speak exclusively in management jargon. Like, let's synergize our synergies to optimize stakeholder synergy. Whatever that means, okay.
SPEAKER_05Okay.
SPEAKER_00Number four, the office DJ. Narrate your work day aloud like a sports commentator. And Steve approaches the printer for what appears to be a double-sided attempt. That was the example.
SPEAKER_02Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_00Just narrate everyone.
SPEAKER_02Like annoy everyone.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. No one gets away with anything.
SPEAKER_02No. Everything you see, you just I have to let everyone know. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Number five, the calendar warlord. Schedule reoccurring meetings called strategic alignment alignment.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_00I don't know. Number six, spreadsheet artist. Replace all charts with hand-drawn dragons and insist they're more intuitive. Yeah, but it's so good. Yeah. Look what I did during work hours. I got paid for this. Number seven, the email signature expansion pack. Add increasingly unnecessary credentials. Like senior coffee consumer. Assistant regional vibes coordinator. I want that one. Certified button clicker. I changed my mind. I want that one.
SPEAKER_02Or the company slacker.
SPEAKER_00Number eight. Innovation champion. Propose replacing passwords with riddles. Hmm. I don't know. Number nine, the productivity guru. Spend all day optimizing your to-do list. Hello. That is me.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Sure sounds like you.
SPEAKER_00Okay, I have my list of things I need to do. Now I need to organize which one I'm gonna do first, second, third, fourth. And then, oh, on the side note, if I have any time over, I'm gonna do this, this, this, and this. Oh, but I need to organize that. And like this is the first priority when I'm done with everything. And then that and that, and then remember this for tomorrow. Put that in its special little box tomorrow. Also, what's for dinner? Important.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Okay. But never actually do anything on it. Also guilty.
SPEAKER_02Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_00Write out your to-do list and do nothing about it.
SPEAKER_02Oh, yeah, okay.
SPEAKER_00Nothing that is on that list.
SPEAKER_02No.
SPEAKER_00And then go home. Number 10, the performance review, Uno Reverse. Ask your manager to explain what they accomplished this quarter.
SPEAKER_02Okay, okay, yeah.
SPEAKER_00What have you accomplished? Yeah, but what about you? Yeah. What have you been doing this whole time?
SPEAKER_02More interesting.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Here's the executive level self-sabotage. Sabotage? Right. Bring a laser pointer to every conversation, even at lunch.
unknownOh.
SPEAKER_00For the cats.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Wha.
SPEAKER_02Uh company cats.
SPEAKER_00The company cats. Refer to the CEO as my direct report. Right. Create a 73-slide presentation. And not entitled. Titled Opportunities for Improvement in Gravity. Yay. Start every sentence with according to my extensive research. And then cite a napkin. Huh? Okay. Sure.
SPEAKER_02What does the open eyes say about like if you're on a like a company party like this and you're stopping everything to watch like a soccer game or something? Is that okay?
SPEAKER_00Is so this is how it would go. Okay. You walk into the company party, locate the biggest screen in the venue, interrupt the CEO's speech with sorry everyone, kickoff is in two minutes. Redirect all audio visual equipment to the match. Arrange chairs stadium style. Shush people trying to network because they're blocking the tactical analysis. Bonus points in this fictional version: if the party is celebrating a major company milestone, uh half the attendees don't follow soccer. You start leading chance during the awards ceremony. And the winning goal receives a louder reaction when than the company's annual results. Yeah. Which is pretty much what did happen.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_00There were people running back and forth watching their phones, and someone brought an iPad to watch the game on. Yeah. It was a little ridiculous, but hey.
SPEAKER_02Oh, yeah, definitely. I mean, if you want to watch a soccer game, don't come to the party. I guess. Come later or something. Some people did. See a rerun of the you you you'll know the score afterwards. I mean God, how important can a soccer game be? I don't know. I don't follow. No. It's so boring. Yeah, that kind of that was more ridiculous than you crashing the party.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Yeah, I got m more mad about that.
SPEAKER_00I just sat there and I enjoyed I enjoyed my time there. And being around the people who I've been hanging around for the past ten years, but in a different environment. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02It was fun. It was an experience. You know, fancy.
SPEAKER_00Right. Everyone's fancy.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00It was an excuse to be fancy. I liked him.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_00So yeah, that's that's what I have for today. Yeah. Anything else?
SPEAKER_06No.
SPEAKER_00You have any more questions?
SPEAKER_02No.
SPEAKER_00Okay. And I guess we're done here.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Alright.
SPEAKER_02Alright.
Soccer At Parties And Social Rules
SPEAKER_00Well, as we reach the end of the episode, please tell me what's ruining your life.
SPEAKER_02I think that it's starting to get warmer at work. And today I was running around like a fool and uh I got so sweaty.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I I feel like I've been trying to fool the people at work by wearing my work pants in or shorts instead of my new work clothes. Oh yeah. I'm wearing old clothes.
SPEAKER_02Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_00Maybe I'm not supposed to wear, but they're shorts. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02And it's warm. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00So yeah.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, so that's what's ruining my life. What's ruining your life? Sorry.
SPEAKER_00You burping. No. Um, what is ruining my life? I mean, I would say I don't have any shifts for the next week or so.
SPEAKER_02Not at all.
SPEAKER_00No, I don't know if that's ruining my life. I don't think it is.
SPEAKER_02No, maybe that's nice.
SPEAKER_00And at the moment it's not. In the future, it might. But that means I have time to do other things. I don't even have class. I don't have school. I don't have anything. What am I gonna do for the next week?
SPEAKER_02You have free time.
SPEAKER_00Oh my god, that's ruining my life.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Oh, the things.
SPEAKER_02Too much.
SPEAKER_00I had so much time today to do things, and I had no motivation. I was too tired. I didn't feel like doing anything all day. So I laid around and I watched TV and I scrolled my phone and I don't care. No. I don't care. My my motivation is like dipping, and I'm okay with it right now. I have to write that list and then sounds like a problem. And then continue writing that list and not do anything. Okay. Spend my day writing a list and then stress over how I spent so much time writing a list, and I didn't actually do anything productive other than this list. And then I probably erased some things on that list that I actually needed to do, but I had forgotten at the moment why I needed to do that thing. Anyway, thank you for listening to this episode.
