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_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And I just existed. I didn't eat the food. I didn't drink the alcohol because I was driving. And I didn't participate in the activities or anything.

SPEAKER_02

No. Uh well, technically you were kind of invited by me.

SPEAKER_00

By you.

SPEAKER_02

Yes.

SPEAKER_00

Also by me, because I wanted to go.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Uh not all people like that, but no one said anything. At the party.

SPEAKER_00

At the party. No. Nobody dared to talk to me at the party.

SPEAKER_02

Well, except for me.

SPEAKER_00

Except for you. We sat together and we talked the whole time. Yeah. Pretty much. And you had some drinks. I did. And I I did participate in the dancing, that's it.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And you got a little bit dipsy.

SPEAKER_02

Yep.

SPEAKER_00

And 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_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Uh but you you participated in an activity.

SPEAKER_02

Oh yeah, I did.

SPEAKER_00

Last minute. I kept pushing you the whole time, but you were so shy. So nervous.

SPEAKER_02

I wasn't drunk enough.

SPEAKER_00

No, 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_02

I did.

SPEAKER_00

Because your other person just pushed their package off the table.

SPEAKER_02

She was unlucky.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I mean she would have won if uh she didn't do that.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Because uh and I told her afterwards, I'm like, you would have won.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

No question about that.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. But but you won.

SPEAKER_02

I 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_00

Right. 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_02

Yeah, I kind of dressed up fancy.

SPEAKER_00

You dressed up Matias fancy.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And yeah, that's what happened.

Walks, Mother’s Day, And Hair Fixes

SPEAKER_00

On Sunday, we went for a walk.

SPEAKER_02

We did. That was really nice.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. It was really warm though.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

The sun was beating hard on the earth.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And it was really warm.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. The the sun got a beat.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. We could hear it. No, not hear it. Feel it vibrating on earth.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. I do enjoy having the walks and talks with you.

SPEAKER_00

It was nice. There was also FICA.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

We also had FICA.

SPEAKER_02

Because also it was Mother's Day.

SPEAKER_00

It 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.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

So that was nice.

SPEAKER_02

Nice stuff.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. 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_02

And it was free. The best part. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

It 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_02

Yeah. We also fixed my head. Oh, yeah. We've done Sunday.

SPEAKER_00

I shaved your head.

SPEAKER_02

Yep. Shaved my head. Yep. It was good. Yeah. It was also for free.

SPEAKER_00

Yes. I did that for free.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Well, in exchange for FICA, maybe.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, that's true. Yes. Well, I didn't pay for FICA either, so No, I guess not.

SPEAKER_00

It 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_02

Yes. That's true.

SPEAKER_00

That's all I did that day. Oh, and then we went to the store. Oh yeah. We went.

SPEAKER_02

You got a helmet.

SPEAKER_00

Ah, 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_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

That's what happened.

Biking Trip And Hanging With Kids

SPEAKER_00

Yep. 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_02

Yeah, you said it was fun, right?

SPEAKER_00

It was fun. I made friends with my daughter's friends.

SPEAKER_02

Ah, okay.

SPEAKER_00

Which 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_02

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

The 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_02

No.

SPEAKER_00

I don't talk to them. I don't know. Well, I know I know of them.

SPEAKER_02

Why would you talk to adults?

SPEAKER_00

I don't really know, but I thought that we were supposed to hang out with the kids.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And 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_02

Yeah, if they don't behave.

SPEAKER_00

Every 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_01

No.

SPEAKER_00

No, thank you. Watch your mouth, lady.

SPEAKER_02

Here's for you calling me nice.

SPEAKER_00

Right.

SPEAKER_02

Schmack.

SPEAKER_00

Uh, so we we went hiking, like a mini hiking, and we had lunch on like this mountain in quotations.

SPEAKER_02

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

Because it was high up.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, it wasn't the mountain we club.

SPEAKER_00

No. 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_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And 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_02

Okay. Yeah, oh yeah. Yeah. Makes sense.

SPEAKER_00

Uh 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_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Which is next week.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, that's next week.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, 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_02

Okay.

Missed Exam Slot And A Long Day

SPEAKER_00

Yesterday was Thursday.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

I worked that evening. Oh, yesterday. Wasn't a very good day for me.

SPEAKER_05

Oh no.

SPEAKER_00

No. 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_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

So uh I had booked it for at some point before I had to go to work.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

I 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_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Like, 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_06

What am I gonna do? Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

So 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_02

It was like jungle.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. 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_06

No.

SPEAKER_00

I 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_01

Watch Michael again.

SPEAKER_00

I 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_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Uh 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_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, it was so boring. And I wandered so much. And then I went to work.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Had fun at work.

SPEAKER_00

No, 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_02

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

So 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_06

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Oh my goodness. We didn't get out that late though. It wasn't that bad. Anyway, I got home and it was fine.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Ugh. Not a fun day.

SPEAKER_02

No. And I got a text yesterday from my uh landlady.

SPEAKER_00

Okay.

SPEAKER_02

She'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_00

You forgot to pay the rent?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Oh my god, you're late.

SPEAKER_01

Well, I did it immediately when I saw those picks.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Oh my goodness. But today's Friday. Yeah. I had my final spoken test

Final Oral Test And Leadership Talk

SPEAKER_00

today. 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_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

I 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_02

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

Like, 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_02

What the heck?

SPEAKER_00

And 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_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Which 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_01

Hopefully, right?

SPEAKER_00

I 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_02

Are you sure about that?

SPEAKER_00

Pretty 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_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

You can be honest.

SPEAKER_01

What if he listens to this?

SPEAKER_00

We 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_02

No. No.

SPEAKER_00

But okay.

SPEAKER_02

Isn't part of that like listening?

SPEAKER_00

Yes. A big part of leadership is listening.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

But I passed my class.

SPEAKER_02

He didn't do that too well.

SPEAKER_00

I um was it? I'm not complaining. It was a he. Yes. Uh well, he was a he.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And he didn't listen very well.

SPEAKER_02

So, uh, spoilers here. In the beginning, Stallone drops his girlfriend.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. For the top of a mountain. The other guy's girlfriend. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, 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_02

It'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_00

I 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_02

It didn't have anything to do with eating your friends, because I'm thinking that's uh alive.

SPEAKER_00

Is that also still alone?

SPEAKER_02

No.

SPEAKER_00

Who's that?

SPEAKER_02

That's uh is it like Ethan Hawk or something?

SPEAKER_00

Oh I know you told me about Cliffhanger. Then that must not be hmm. Okay, whatever. Whatever. What do you think of the movie?

SPEAKER_02

I 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_00

Die Hard.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, Die Hard 2. And yeah, so I do like this one. What did you think about this movie?

SPEAKER_00

You 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_02

Yeah, that's why I call it stupid.

SPEAKER_00

I 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_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Which is important for me because otherwise I'm just like gone.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

But yeah, I I enjoyed it, but it wasn't a favorite.

SPEAKER_02

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

Is that okay?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Okay. Anything else?

SPEAKER_02

No, uh I think that's about that.

SPEAKER_00

That's about that.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

Anger Management Recap And Cast Tangents

SPEAKER_00

Next?

SPEAKER_02

Next movie, Anger Management. A movie with Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson.

SPEAKER_00

Right.

SPEAKER_02

Adam Sandler is a not so angry, angry guy.

SPEAKER_00

Internally angry.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. He well, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Implosive.

SPEAKER_02

He 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_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. And so he's gonna help Adam Sandler getting over his anger.

SPEAKER_00

Which he definitely has.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, sure.

SPEAKER_00

According to everyone else.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. 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_00

In a way.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. At the end. So yeah, uh, that's basically it, right?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

What did you think about this movie?

SPEAKER_00

I do like this movie.

SPEAKER_02

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

I've seen it before.

SPEAKER_02

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

I never made the connection. Let's see. He was the same guy.

SPEAKER_02

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

No 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_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And 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_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Actors. Crazy.

SPEAKER_00

Hmm. I heard that he got married to his what stepdad's daughter?

SPEAKER_02

Oh, wait. Are you talking about Woody Allen?

SPEAKER_00

Maybe.

SPEAKER_02

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_00

Someone got Woody.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

For someone he wasn't supposed to. No. Okay.

No, okay. Okay, so what did I think about anger management?

SPEAKER_00

Yes. That's what I was saying.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. 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_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

His 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_00

But it does have the West Side Story song in it.

SPEAKER_02

It 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_00

You I think it's fair.

SPEAKER_02

Cliffhanger is not one of your favorites, and Anger Management is not one of my favorites.

SPEAKER_00

But they both are passable.

SPEAKER_05

Okay.

Crash Course On Crashing Parties

SPEAKER_00

Let's do a crash course.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

What are we crashing coursing?

SPEAKER_02

How to crash a party.

SPEAKER_00

Ooh. How to do it the right way.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

How to oh, crash course. On how to crash a party. We're just crashing. Crash a crash.

SPEAKER_05

Crash a crash.

SPEAKER_00

Crash 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_05

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

One, 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_02

Oh, uh. Because you are the guest who I stuck to.

SPEAKER_00

If I wanted to go. Yes. Okay. Do you want to crash this party?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Okay.

SPEAKER_02

Or I mean, or did you say like you wanted to go to one of those? Yes. We were talking about that.

SPEAKER_00

Because 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_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Uh railroad.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Uh 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_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

So I can't make it.

SPEAKER_02

I 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_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

And 25, you didn't work there anymore.

SPEAKER_00

No.

SPEAKER_02

So I was also You never got to go. I I kind of feel like we owed you this. Owed you this.

SPEAKER_00

I 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_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

A 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_02

I guess. I mean, you didn't talk about crashing a party at all. Like you just got there, went in inside and Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

They 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_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

You know?

SPEAKER_02

Like anyone could have walked in.

SPEAKER_00

I guess.

SPEAKER_02

Because uh they don't want to be rude, so they let anyone in.

SPEAKER_00

I guess so.

SPEAKER_02

Sure. Makes no sense, but sure. Let's go with that.

SPEAKER_00

Number 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_02

And you used the oxygen.

SPEAKER_00

I used their oxygen, but I don't think anyone paid for it.

SPEAKER_02

No.

SPEAKER_00

It 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_02

I don't know. But you work for them in a way.

SPEAKER_00

I 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_02

No.

SPEAKER_00

I I I ate before I got there. That was me contributing to not being hungry.

SPEAKER_02

You're welcome.

SPEAKER_00

And I I drank the water. I drank two bottles of water. Big bottles of water. I was thirsty.

SPEAKER_02

Oh yeah, you did. Couldn't have cost them much.

SPEAKER_00

I don't think so.

SPEAKER_02

No.

SPEAKER_00

Number 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_02

You got some looks.

SPEAKER_00

I got looks. I got questionable looks. Yeah. But what? Yeah. What? I'm just here.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

I'm not doing anything.

SPEAKER_02

You did no harm.

SPEAKER_00

I didn't. I didn't start a fight. I danced. I enjoyed the the atmosphere.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And I enjoyed sitting there by myself.

SPEAKER_02

Not by myself.

SPEAKER_00

With you.

SPEAKER_02

With me talking to me. Yeah. You were the only one talking to me.

SPEAKER_00

Right. I mean, if I wasn't there, who were you gonna talk to?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Nobody. No.

SPEAKER_00

If 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_02

Okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Real life tends to be less forgiving than the movies. Do you have questions?

SPEAKER_02

The worst way to crash a party.

SPEAKER_00

The worst way. That's a good way to go.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, so you know what not to do.

Worst Ways To Crash A Party

SPEAKER_00

Okay. 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_02

Like uh squat down or uh like if I crawled through or very sneaky.

SPEAKER_01

Tuck and roll.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Just do like a dive roll. Yeah, like past.

SPEAKER_01

Could have been your way into I'm dizzy. He's too bad.

SPEAKER_00

Sneaky. 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_06

No.

SPEAKER_00

So if he didn't want me there, he probably would have told me.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Despite the atmosphere, despite the risk of being rude.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

If he thought I can't be there, he would say, What are you doing here? And this is not for you.

SPEAKER_02

Then 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_00

Yeah. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02

Or 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_00

And yeah, I was told I had no right to be there by someone completely irrelevant.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Anyway. 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_02

Such a contrast.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Like take care of yourself, but don't enjoy a good time.

SPEAKER_02

No, don't go to the same party as well.

SPEAKER_00

Go home and enjoy your life, but don't be here.

SPEAKER_02

No.

SPEAKER_00

Don't don't have a good time in my presence.

SPEAKER_02

Maybe thought that you would work there.

SPEAKER_00

Oh. I I considered asking for a job.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, so you could be there.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. I did it.

SPEAKER_02

With permission.

SPEAKER_00

But I thought about it.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Okay. Next one. Eat half the snacks before saying hello to anyone. Which yes. That sounds like me. That sounds uh very likely.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. If you hadn't eaten before.

SPEAKER_00

I 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_01

No, you weren't.

SPEAKER_00

Announce who wants to hear my 47-slide presentation on municipal parking regulations? That sounds like fun.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Why did I spend so much time on this? I must be very proud.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

I worked on this for my course, and I want everyone to know. It's on leadership and organization.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Good topic. Uh I'm gonna lead the traffic.

SPEAKER_00

Get caught, then double down with actually you are not supposed to be here.

SPEAKER_01

You're crashing my party.

SPEAKER_00

This is my party. This room is double booked. Okay. That's the social equivalent of stepping on every rake in the garden.

SPEAKER_05

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

Ow. That usually hurts, right? I've never I don't know if I've actually stepped on a rake before.

SPEAKER_02

Well, 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_00

How was that? Was it okay? It was okay. It was okay.

SPEAKER_02

It was kind of funny.

SPEAKER_00

Okay. 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_01

Okay, so it might be good, it might be not good.

SPEAKER_00

My 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_01

Did it like Did it go through my pants? Did it rip through your pants?

SPEAKER_00

It 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_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And like nothing more happened.

SPEAKER_01

I didn't give a skate through my butt.

SPEAKER_00

No, no, I didn't do that.

SPEAKER_01

Why would you ask that? Oh, you didn't.

SPEAKER_00

I 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_02

Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_00

So that would have definitely torn a hole.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Do you have any other stories of things going up your butt?

SPEAKER_01

Uh no. I have to think about it.

SPEAKER_00

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Not really. Well, well, the rake thing didn't really go up my butt. No. I I I just want to be clear.

SPEAKER_00

I don't know how this happened, but it happened. Oh no.

SPEAKER_01

It's a rake sticking out of my butt.

SPEAKER_00

Oh no.

SPEAKER_01

Not again.

SPEAKER_00

I don't know how I keep managing.

SPEAKER_01

Matthias, we need to talk about this. This is the third time.

SPEAKER_00

Anyway.

SPEAKER_01

No, it just hit my cheek. My cheek. Need to be really clear about this.

SPEAKER_00

Here'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_02

Okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Show up wearing a badge you printed at home. I don't know. My name is Lauren. Yeah. That's all. Oh no.

SPEAKER_02

Or you you could write any

How To Speedrun Getting Fired

SPEAKER_02

name if you like.

SPEAKER_00

Oh yeah. My name is Matias.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Um. Then who's that? The bald guy.

SPEAKER_00

He's also Matías.

SPEAKER_02

He's another Matias.

SPEAKER_00

Walk up to the CEO and say, Great meeting you again when you've never met.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

That'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_05

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_00

Senior executive, vice assistant regional director.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

So that makes you the second assistant to the regional director.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

So that's one, two, three.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Or you go there like, uh, hello, I'm your boss's boss.

SPEAKER_00

Right. So um I own this company.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Who 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_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

I 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_02

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

Company 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_02

Okay, yes.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, 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_05

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

Here'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_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Uh 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_05

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

Number 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_02

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Just narrate everyone.

SPEAKER_02

Like annoy everyone.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. No one gets away with anything.

SPEAKER_02

No. Everything you see, you just I have to let everyone know. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Number five, the calendar warlord. Schedule reoccurring meetings called strategic alignment alignment.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

I 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_02

Or the company slacker.

SPEAKER_00

Number 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_02

Yeah. Sure sounds like you.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, 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_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Okay. But never actually do anything on it. Also guilty.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_00

Write out your to-do list and do nothing about it.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_00

Nothing that is on that list.

SPEAKER_02

No.

SPEAKER_00

And then go home. Number 10, the performance review, Uno Reverse. Ask your manager to explain what they accomplished this quarter.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

What have you accomplished? Yeah, but what about you? Yeah. What have you been doing this whole time?

SPEAKER_02

More interesting.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Here's the executive level self-sabotage. Sabotage? Right. Bring a laser pointer to every conversation, even at lunch.

unknown

Oh.

SPEAKER_00

For the cats.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Wha.

SPEAKER_02

Uh company cats.

SPEAKER_00

The 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_02

What 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_00

Is 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_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

There 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_02

Oh, 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_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Yeah, I got m more mad about that.

SPEAKER_00

I 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_02

It was fun. It was an experience. You know, fancy.

SPEAKER_00

Right. Everyone's fancy.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

It was an excuse to be fancy. I liked him.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

So yeah, that's that's what I have for today. Yeah. Anything else?

SPEAKER_06

No.

SPEAKER_00

You have any more questions?

SPEAKER_02

No.

SPEAKER_00

Okay. And I guess we're done here.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Alright.

SPEAKER_02

Alright.

Soccer At Parties And Social Rules

SPEAKER_00

Well, as we reach the end of the episode, please tell me what's ruining your life.

SPEAKER_02

I 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_00

Yeah, 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_02

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Maybe I'm not supposed to wear, but they're shorts. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

And it's warm. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

So yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, so that's what's ruining my life. What's ruining your life? Sorry.

SPEAKER_00

You 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_02

Not at all.

SPEAKER_00

No, I don't know if that's ruining my life. I don't think it is.

SPEAKER_02

No, maybe that's nice.

SPEAKER_00

And 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_02

You have free time.

SPEAKER_00

Oh my god, that's ruining my life.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, the things.

SPEAKER_02

Too much.

SPEAKER_00

I 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.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, thank you.

SPEAKER_00

SPEAKER_00

I mean, sometimes if you just want to get out of the something.

SPEAKER_02

And you don't want to quit yourself.

SPEAKER_00

Right. Yeah. It's not so dumb.

What’s Ruining Our Lives And Goodbye

SPEAKER_00
