Hinged or Unhinged

0:00For decades, a shadowy organization called the Lemonati has kept lemon on top and lime in the shadows. Look around. Lemon forward sodas. Even lemon forward songs.

It's time for more distractible.

3:00I will be your host. My name is Bob. I get the host, which rarely happens anymore because it means that I won the last episode. I don't deserve to win. I didn't deserve to win. And somehow I did anyway. Joining me today as my competitors and losers from the previous episode, Mark and Wade. I I once again the framing of it you know I feel is that word that I can't say I guess that's not fair Mark didn't Mark didn't lose he just didn't win but you did you were the host I guess so like I did have points on the board and I think I actually ended up with the lowest number so in this one instance you might be correct yeah you lost to Mandy I guess yeah yeah I think Actually you are correct I still don't know that I need to be Framed in such a way as that Alright Wynn, Mark gets a loser point and you don't This is why Mark hosts every other episode It is Because we can't stop infighting Ever seen the show, I'm the host, I give points Most points wins at the end Probably But also the points are very arbitrary And we have coins and those might come into play Anyway I do have a topic Prepared for today Which we will do and you will learn points for But before we get into that, how are you guys doing?

4:15How's life been? Mark's thumb is up. I hate Pro Tools. Just throwing that out there for random reasons. Nothing to say other than that. Like sledgehammers and stuff? Or what do you mean? What are Pro Tools? Yes, that's exactly what I mean. Definitely not anything else. I don't want to say anything more than that because I recognize that Pro Tools is actually, it's a software for audio mixing. It's basically the industry standard. And as opposed to Adobe being the industry standard for things, they actually, you know, legitimately have extreme functionality. And there's a reason that, you know, many audio engineers want to work in that.

4:53And it's hard to compete for other things. And I recognize that there's so much value in what that is, but I'm just like, I hate AAFs. I hate them. I also have extreme functionality. Yeah. Damn, he's so mobile for his age. for listeners wade just did the wave across both of his arms through his torso he did the alternate version of the wave yeah now he's in the wave as if he's in a large stadium all right that's wave three i know we need four through seven stills to complete the set i'm sorry that's bobbing that's gonna call that one wave i don't know what we do man I'm floating out here. This is the good stuff.

5:39You guys just earned so many points for the wave jokes. I wasn't even doing anything, and I got points. Hell yeah. Mark, you're getting crushed right now from the wave joke points. I thought you were saying, Mark, you get the most points for the wave joke. Oh, yeah, I thought you were applying points to me. No, Mark is earning points for being a loser. Wade is actually earning points for all of this wave comedy. Yeah, I guess that checks out. When do you get wave comedy? Stand-ups don't do it Oh he did another He did another one Please how can I compete Mark make a joke come on Mark You're dying out here I only got complaints This is why we're like number 69 on Torbs Or whatever the different websites are that still care about us Torbs What's Torbs It's the rip off Forbes The one that actually talks about us Well I'm sure that no one knows what Mark's complaining about And I'm sure that it will be fine and hasn't been a thing that's been haunting your dreams for years now.

6:36Everyone cares about pro tools. Pro tools, yes. The words he said a minute ago. I had to remember them. I remembered something. He did. He did remember. Don't give him a point for that. No, no, come on. No, come on. I remember stuff all the time. Female pointies. I'm hungry for points. Oh, he's still killing them, Mark. You're in deep trouble, Mark. You better watch out. These are all going to be negative points.

7:07I will say we're not 69th right now. We're 34th. But, you know. I saw someone in 69. They lied to me. If we keep tanking the popularity of this podcast by talking more about AI, I'm sure we can plummet those rankings. Did you say AI? AI! Oh,

7:28that'll do it. It is funny because I really, truly think that there was there was a big misunderstanding because people did see podcasts when they were reposted to the YouTube channel, which was all on like December 20th. so if you looked up all those episodes from 2022 and 2023 they they looked like they were more recent so i think that is where a lot of the misconception came from um because you know uh it's it's just like people now being like you should have known it's like well we did we did and it's just like the arc of time for people on the internet is sometimes different also the joke within ethan's video that was i i like it there's a very funny joke like asking chat gpt about its own water usage that's very funny and critical of chat tpd that was the whole thing it's funny and critical and wade knows exactly what's happening don't you wade i i was at the stream whenever that was and i heard people say ai they said those they said that a lot he does remember words he's getting better picking out those words sometime in the next couple years wade's gonna start to remember whole events all and all together oh god i hope not i try my best to get rid of everything in the past i live for the now you're gonna have to live with what you've done once you start remembering stuff that might change your perception of who you are as a person you know what i was just thinking like should we contextualize this should you want context find it google is free i don't know why i'm antagonistic today i also kind of enjoy the like things are cool now.

9:13I just, every time I picture like an internet mob, I just think of like Monty Python with the witch where they all run up and like the lady's got the fake nose on and everything. They turned me into a newt. A newt? I got better. That's the internet mob. Get him! He loves AI! Actually, I don't. Oh, he doesn't. Ah! Over here! It's just, I'm totally fine with people being critical. I've never had a problem with anybody saying anything about me online. It's apparently that's uncommon, but I truly don't. And in this one, it was a great opportunity to talk about real good AI for the first time. Because I think in the background, Bob, you and I have been like, when do we introduce it?

9:55It'll come up naturally, something like that. And I didn't even know that donations were actually open at the time that I said that or else I would have pushed people to donate towards it. But even after that, people were just like, hey, he's funding an AI company. He's like, no. And it's like, oh, they're just doing the same thing. is like actually opposite the whole point of instance like there's no good ai models like well not yet research that's a funny uphill battle with because it wouldn't when mandy was thinking about what to call the organization was like well should it have ai in the name or but it's like that is like that is what they're working on that is the point but just it being called blah blah blah ai everyone it's even still after your live stream people came from your live stream listening to you talk and came and were like, you're just building different AI model.

10:44There's no ethical AI models. And the whole conversation is like, I don't think you heard. There's not no one here. None of us are building AI models. That's not what we're doing here. And even if you respond calmly, it's the internet. I mean, that's just how the internet works. But it's a weird position to be in because you get the first reaction of a lot of people is like, so where's your chatbot? What's your chatbot called? you guys have like a real good bot or real good gpt what are you what are you gonna call it no no no what are we releasing first merch or our new ai bot merch is always first but then the ai chat bot comes out they're like you guys are building ai it's like dude we can't even get a t-shirt what do you mean well actually now that you say that you you have physically seen them right i I have physically seen an image of them, but that was not an AI image.

11:37That was real. Well, the shirts did not have eight fingers. It's actually today's topic. Shirts or AI. You cut the shirt in half and a robot comes out. Just someone stabs it from off screen. And instead of blood, it's oil starts spurting out. And it's like, oh, oh, AI. I love the clanker videos that I because they were making that joke a while ago. But now it's like having a resurgence because I'm back on TikTok now. yes it's just as bad as i thought i would be i my screen time on tiktok is up so high it's so much better than shorts it's so much better you can lock apps you should have amy set the password for your like screen time lock and then lock them away so that you can't unlock it yourself you need to go consult i'm an adult i don't need the child lock it's not a child lock Okay, it's for all of us.

12:29All right. Yeah. But the clanker video is like everyone in 2050. Hey, you want to date my daughter? You fucking oil chugger. This is tangential to this conversation. Did you guys see the YouTube extending their protections to teens or whatever it is they're doing? The age restriction stuff? The AI age determination. He's, he's, yeah. Wade's already one of them. He's framing the conversation positively towards YouTube. I can't believe this. No, no, did you see how YouTube is protecting the youth? I'm as anti-YouTube as they come, but do you see how they're doing good for the world with their ethical usage of it?

13:07Sure, sure, sure. What's funny is, like, I'm as pro-YouTube as they come, like, and I feel like I can never say that. I'm not as pro-YouTube as they come. I'm super about YouTube still to this day, and I'm angry that they're making bad choices, and I'm not defending their things like that. But I'm still every time I'm like, God damn it, YouTube. I'm also like, but you're still the best platform for people. I've not gotten to shake my fist at them for a while. One, because I don't pay enough attention. And two, I feel like Twitch is still in the spotlight the last five years of dumb decision making.

13:36So it's good to see YouTube back on. But this is crazy. What's going on? The more I actually read about it, because I had not known much about it, but it is a little, little insane. I love our podcast and how positive Mark is about it all the time, regardless of what's going on. Wade, do you have any small talk? I know none of this is coming from you Actually, you just brought up the YouTube thing But that's barely coming from Tell us about some broken pipes or something Come on, did your house burn down? How much poop are you waddling in right now? How many squirrels got in this week? Come on, come on You got some syrup piss in your bushes?

14:11Does your car still exist? Did it crash into the ocean? Nope, no, it still exists Got a nice bird poo stain right in the place I need to go clean it Don't let that sit there That'll burn right through your clear coat Better watch out Somehow an expensive BMW still has paint That can be destroyed by bird poop Biggest contributions I had Were in the last conversation Where I thought we were working as a team But that was clearly Mark's small talk So I'll just I'll give you a piggybacking off of Mark point I'm giving you another version of a wave Hey that's seven I just want to throw this out there Because I'm having a lot of trouble right now Now that I'm thinking of the sentence It sounds really fucking unhinged But have you guys ever changed the way you write?

14:50Do you write like the same way all the time, no matter what? Or do you ever like right now? I'm in a phase where I'm writing in all caps, which is not a thing that I normally do. But I just I literally woke up one day and was like, I want to write in all caps some more. Keeps all my writing inside the lines. You know, you don't get those Y's and those J's swooping now. If I'm writing like on a check or an envelope, I try to write more clearly. But like, no, not really. Mark was about to be on my side. Yeah, no, I have done that. Also with the all caps thing, I feel like when I started filling out a lot more forms that I inadvertently started doing all caps because I wanted it to be legible.

15:27And sometimes my regular penmanship is not the most legible. But yeah, there are occasions. Like, I think my blueprints notes are pretty much how my handwriting always looks. Are they more legible than your podcast points taking notes? They are. They are. Why don't you write podcast stuff like that? That's so readable. Those look pretty readable to me. What am I supposed to do? Give like a line per point? No, no, no. Look at this beauty. This is how points should be done. Look, my scorecard looks generally not too far off from yours. Mine is completely legible-ish. Except for the ones where the word is readable, it just doesn't make sense, which is not my handwriting's fault.

16:05I can't help that you two are just so good at getting points, I have to scurry to keep up with my handwriting. All right, you know what? When he puts it that way, I am pretty good at getting points. Not this episode, apparently, but, you know, I'm pretty good. Oh, I was lying, Mark. You're doing fine. All right. I was just trying to make Wade feel better about his wave jokes. Thank you. The Lemonati has spent decades keeping Lemon on top and lime in the shadows. Their Lemon agenda has infiltrated everything, even our music. That hit song named after the color of lemons? Not a coincidence. Big Lemon has been pulling strings in the industry for years.

16:47Think about it. But now, 7up is fighting back with their new lime lemon soda. Now lime comes first. 7up. Flip the sip. Brussels clean up nicely at Sweetgreen. Maple glazed, roasted, and edges perfectly caramelized. Sweetgreen's fall harvest is back on the menu, and the season's most overlooked little green vegetable is dressed to be devoured. You know what to do. Order on the Sweetgreen app.

17:19Anyway, today's topic, it's mostly from Reddit, but it's not an idea from Reddit. I just did all my research on Reddit and I've decided to call it Hinged or Un. And it's kind of like, am I the asshole? But I basically just scoured around Reddit and looked for behaviors that people described as being very unhinged. And I want your takes on whether or not they actually are unhinged. because there's kind of a whole range of stuff in here. Some of it involves some violence and some crazy actions, and some of it, like this first one we're going to talk to, I think is pretty interesting to describe as unhinged behavior, but I want your opinions on it.

18:00The first one I want you to tell me about is, this was a post, someone's significant other, boyfriend, whatever, girlfriend, buttered both sides of their toast, and then just held it by the edge and was eating a double-sided buttered piece of toast. And they made a whole ass Reddit post where they were like, am I overreacting here? Or is this the most unhinged shit you've ever seen? And I read the post and was like, I'm not sure. Tell me what I think, contestants. Okay, I don't do that with toast. But like sometimes if you get like a dinner roll of some kind, I'll like split it in half and put butter in the middle.

18:39But then I'll also butter the top of the roll. Is that the same level of... But you still have one non-buttered side to hold it from. Yeah, but the toast, you can kind of hold the crust, right? But how do you can't set it down? No, no, you don't set it down. Unless you, like, balance it on the edge, I guess, or something. Are we going to go into a whole bread debacle again? Oh, is it a cannoli of butter? No, no, no. Both sides, right? That's where... Yeah, one piece of toasted bread, toasted both sides, buttered both sides. and then they just went at it. Here's where I say it might not be, okay?

19:16And hear me out on this. Because usually people have more than one piece of toast. I think that's pretty acceptable, right? People usually have two slices of toast. Usually it's like a couple pieces of toast, sure. When you have one piece of toast and you butter the top, the other toast is going to go right on top of there. So technically, in most cases, both sides are going to be buttered because it's getting butter from the top of the bottom one. And if you have more toast than that, then it's just like compounding it where the majority of the toast is buttered on both sides. So I'm thinking like, this isn't as crazy as people think.

19:52No matter what, if I have a buttered piece of toast, my hands are getting greasy anyway. When I eat, everything's getting greasy because it's, you know, it's just going everywhere anyway. Oh, we've seen it. Unhinged should be buttering around the outside. That would be unhinged. That would be unhinged. That is unhinged. Yeah, so I don't think this is as crazy as that. If it was like jellied on both sides, maybe that's starting to stretch the truth a bit. But the butter absorbs into the bread, and I think it's valid. Oh, jelly both sides is unhinged. That should be dripping everywhere. But someone butters the outside, folds it in half, bites the middle, then like puts their hand in and wears it like a bracelet and eats it off.

20:30That's unhinged. What the fuck? What the fuck? Not that I've ever done that or would. Why could I picture all of that? Why could I follow that?

20:41Like one of those Smarties bracelets What were the bracelets that you could eat Was it Smarties? Yeah, they were Smarties, I think People in the UK are like, but it's our version of Smarties Oh, sorry Smarties bracelets There you go That's not what I was going for Smarties are a different candy It's a chocolate kind of M &M thing I really thought I had you UK folk, I'm sorry Alright, so that's hinged we're going to call we're going to declare that hitched thank you for telling me what i think i need your help telling me what i think about this next scenario i'm going to tell these in the first person because i want to and it's more fun that way my sister and i were at this uh like sort of mid-level sort of like apple bz sort of restaurant very casual whatever normal place but it was in a situation where it shared a bathroom with a fancy restaurant it was in kind of a bigger building and we ordered some food and i ordered some salmon and the salmon smelled like Like an actual pile of shit.

21:37It smelled awful. I was not going to eat it. And I thought it would be funny to just take the salmon into the bathroom and put it on the toilet because it smelled like it belonged in there anyway. I just thought that'd be funny. And I did. And like I said, this bathroom was shared with a much fancier restaurant. So I went and I took my salmon in there and I thought it'd be funny. I just left it on the toilet for someone to find. And then this really like snooty, bougie lady from the fancy restaurant came and used the bathroom after me. And she went in and then you just heard like from inside the bathroom, you're just like, oh no.

22:13And she comes out and is like, there's fish where there shouldn't be. And that was the funniest thing I've ever done in my life. So two things to assess here. Is the salmon into the bathroom unhinged? And is the fish where there shouldn't be unhinged? I need to know how it was transported. Did she bring like a plate into the bathroom with her? Just like a handful of fish. Yeah, just picked up, picked up the plate, walked into the bathroom and just like into the, into the toilet area. I think taking your plate of food is a little unhinged. Oh, absolutely. This is patently unhinged behavior. Never have I ever had this thought where like this smells like poop.

22:54You know where I, oh, I know where poop goes. You know where poop goes. Yeah. That's absolutely unhinged I feel like they were trying to frame it like it was normal No, that's plain and simple However, I was envisioning There's no way this could be funny And yet, it did result in funny So, I think it's valid unhinged Because a lot of comedy comes from unhinged situations or reactions But that doesn't mean it's bad Valid unhinged is an interesting take The unhinged doesn't necessarily equate with bad, right? Yeah, no, unhinged things can be totally acceptable or funny or whatever just yeah i don't know if we need to define it but the transporting a fish and a plate into a bathroom is a bit unhinged we don't even know if it was a plate they might have palmed that shit they might have just or in their cheeks oh like a squirrel i don't know which one i would prefer though what is it better if they took their whole plate of food in and dumped it and then brought that whole plate out of the bathroom back to the table or is it better if they just took the salmon and we're just like the plate's better come on man is that a question that plate has bathroom air on it now that's not you didn't wash the plate it has dust it's been dusted you carry the fish in your hand you put the fish in your purse or you have one of those little plastic bags with water in it like if you bought a fish at like the the pet store and you put the salmon in there and carry it into the bathroom.

24:20Or, or you swallow it whole and then like a baby bird in the toilet, you No, no. You regurgitate that on the toilet. Well, I guess that's just someone throwing up in general. I guess, yeah, that's fine. You bite the salmon in half, store half in each cheek, and then go to the bathroom and just pull it out. I already said that one. I already said that one. You spit it in half? You spit it in half? Oh, I didn't say in halves. I said one cheek, so I guess technically two would be. different or evenly spaced this is the kind of hairs i thought we'd be splitting in this episode i like this well now i know how i feel about that it's all unhinged there's no there's no solution to getting that fish to the bathroom that's hinged yeah this is completely unhinged absolutely but funny completely out of pocket got it all right this one actually happened to me in actual real life just the other day uh and i know how i feel about it but i need a judgment call to see if I'm overreacting or not family lunch we went out and some family was in town they were like passing through and so we like met up and had lunch just while while they were on their road trip and it was it was nice we just went to a casual place sitting there James was there we're feeding James and hanging out and talking and having lunch and the next the table next to us was two like I don't know mid-20s like young adults but like youngish looking people sitting there, eating their meals, watching a television show on a phone propped up on the table on full volume.

25:51Not like I could kind of hear it, like they had something and they were trying to like listen to script, like they had it sitting across the table from them behind all their food stuff and was so loud that me at the next table, if it had been in English, which it was not, it was in like Russian or some other language I don't recognize, I would have just been watching the show with them. and they just sat there for the entire meal it was a long show it was like an hour long show they just watched it and it was like a talk show it was like a late night show kind of deal where it was like they had guests come on and they did like sketches and i wasn't angry like it was annoying but i wasn't i was just confused what the fuck kind of unhinged bullshit is that am i over am i out of line here or is that the most like unhinged ridiculous shit you could do in a restaurant i mean there are worse things you could do probably that's crazy right is it unhinged or is it just like rude and completely anti-social etiquette like is there do those things have to align i mean it is rude and it's a normal thing to do but it's the it's the setting right it's like taking like a speakerphone call when you're like sitting in church or something it's like what if what are you thinking that this is okay in in a restaurant to just like have your own private tv show that everyone else can hear was this someone but i forget was this someone by themselves or were they in a group it was a couple it appeared to be like a boyfriend girlfriend they were like giggling at the show and having lunch together hear me out this is an evolution of the times that we are in and like tv dinner being so prevalent and like uh people not separating the idea of eating and entertainment now in all of human history eating and entertainment it didn't go together it has gone together and like that's kind of a very common thing for there to be dinner and a show you know that's always been a thing so with tv people are very used to that i don't think i have many meals where i'm not watching a video or something like that um i don't typically have sit-down stuff so but but there should be a social understanding that bringing that into a space where there are other people that aren't enjoying the same entertainment shouldn't happen so yes but i think i get where it's coming from if they had airpods in or like shared audio yeah well that's the thing right you know in a world where headphones aren't even wired anymore like if you just each take one airpod or you can have that exact experience except everyone around you also gets to enjoy the silence it just yeah the unhinged part for me unhinged part for me was just that it was like they weren't like there was no moment where they looked around and were like oh wait we're being loud or what they did they did not give a fuck for a minute i thought i thought i would be funny like i wasn't gonna be a jerk about it but i thought i was like well if it's gonna be that loud i'm just gonna watch the show with them right so there was a minute where i was just kind of like i'm just gonna watch you should have pulled up a chair and just sat with them they noticed me watching they like looked at me and they were like oh hey good good show right and kept watching it i was like what no no you're supposed to feel uncomfortable that someone's like watching your tv show with you and they were like oh thank god another viewer see that's the thing i get i get where it's just a complete lack of social etiquette it's like people have their fucking phones out during a movie and stuff it's like it's just incredibly rude and no self-awareness carrying a plate of food to a bathroom is unhinged watching something on your phone in the setting yeah we need a tier list of hinged yeah yeah like i agree with you it's completely wrong i don't know if i would call it unhinged it's a little kind of like it's at least borderline it's a little bit i'm the old man shaking my fist at a cloud i get it i would also shake my fist i just don't know if unhinged is the word i don't know i feel like maybe i'm just not understanding the full definition of unhinged i'm thinking of something that's just like why would a human being do like rude things or i feel like are different than just like fucking out-of-pocket weird shit like if someone goes to pay for something at the store and they pull their hand their pocket they pull out jello and slap it on the counter that's fucking unhinged the unhinged thing is like i thought that was universal right but it's not anymore clearly it's not anymore but it's because like i said the show wasn't in english and i have no idea i i don't know what the language was and i have no idea if they were like visiting you know tourists if they were like people who were from elsewhere who live in america or whatever no idea if it's a cultural thing but i i would assume that's universal i would be surprised if i traveled somewhere to like europe or to the pacification region and it was like oh in our country everyone gets their phones out and you just watch whatever show you want on full blast and if your neighbor shows too loud you just turn yours up that way you can hear it it's like i don't think they do that anywhere i don't think that's but maybe i don't know what if they're aliens and they just landed and they were watching the video on how to pretend to be eating in a human restaurant well they ate really good they ate like very human people so like dignified or like a lot a good amount but very very uh clean and orderly they seem like they knew where the food went you know did they have a car or a ufo in the parking lot i didn't we left before them i didn't even get to see yeah hard to say that's the only one on this list that actually happened to me the rest of these are fantastic after the salmon i was concerned as to what happened to you because I was like, oh, no.

31:13Also, I'm hoping that they escalate, but we'll see if my assessment when I wrote these all down was accurate. Here's one I really like. It's a longer story. I once dragged 10 full bags of garbage into the lobby of the bank that I live next to and tore them all open and dumped the garbage onto the floor of the bank. I used to live in an apartment building that, like, shared a parking lot with a retail space. And one of the things that was in this retail space was this bank. And our garbage day was like Monday morning. So the garbage trucks would come on Monday morning, take all the garbage. You're supposed to put it out like Sunday night or very early on Monday.

31:55And then, you know, that this bank regularly, like every time would put out their garbage, a shitload of garbage, like 10 or more bags of garbage Monday evening. They would come into work after the like whoever worked on Mondays would come in do their thing and when they were like closing the bank they would put their trash out and then the fucking trash would just sit there and make the whole parking lot and the whole my whole front door of my apartment area smell like trash for the whole week. So my home always smelled like trash outside And so they did this And for a while I was like oh maybe they don't understand And I like went And I talked to someone who worked at the bank And I was like hey you guys put your trash out Monday nights But they pick it up in the morning And they were like oh yeah that's when we put our trash out And I was like it's like talking to a wall They did not care They did not understand They were like yeah we put it in the alley behind the store That's where we're supposed to put it We're allowed to put it there We're not going to change what we're doing And I was like flabbergasted So obviously the next time The next week they put their trash out Monday evening and I just snapped And the next Tuesday After they put their trash out I just gathered Up all the bags that were making my Parking lot smell like shit Dragged them back into the bank tore Them open dumped them on the floor And was promptly Asked never to go inside the Bank ever again I told them not to dump their trash in front of my House sounds like a valid protest to be honest but i feel like there's a step missing where they call and report this to someone like i feel like there's gotta be someone you can call when this shit's happening and be like hey this is a tough one right on its surface unhinged usually means unjustified right it's like the unwarranted behavior uh like not even just like about social acceptance but it's like this reaction does not equate the situation you know that's what i think unhinged is as opposed to just being weird this is clearly it's not justified because it's meeting the already the banks unhinged for putting their garbage out on the wrong day and being like that's what we do we're we're a bank we're not a trash scientist you know we we don't know how trash is like we don't know what these norms are we just take money that's all it is you know clearly there's unhinged across the board but sometimes you gotta match that energy i think but also yeah a phone call probably could have done something about this why the hell don't they just put the trash out saturday end of day so that's that's a couple key parts from the reddit posts uh the person was in their early 20s and they they wouldn't make it they made this post well like years after this happened and one of the things they said in the comments they're like Like, I probably should have called this city.

34:48Like, they probably would have been fined for that because that's not that's, you know, probably violates code. But I didn't think of that. I jumped straight from I talked to the manager to I'll just dump their trash in the lobby. But also the thing was they had a janitorial service and they didn't work. Like, banks are open usually six days a week, right? Like, they're close on Sundays, short hours on Saturdays. So the janitors were there like Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or something, and they didn't work the full schedule. So the janitors put the trash out when they got back into the building on Monday instead of putting it out on Wednesday or whatever the last day of the week was that they worked in anticipation of Monday.

35:29So like there was a reason and that was also Why they weren't going to change it because he was like well then You need to like reschedule your Janitor service so that you can put the Trash out on a day that makes sense and the Bank was like we're not doing that or the Manager of the bank take some fucking responsibility And take the bags out like we're talking 10 bags of trash that's not that Hard to take outside You don't understand they're stinky They're stinky you know Bank managers are trash They're just stinky you know Stinky people make stinky trash it's just the way It is you know I guess they could have Some like lunch things in there Like mostly it's what fucking paper like Oh god That was part of the post too is They figured out it was the bank's trash because Mostly what it was was like deposit slips And shit from the bank it was mostly But there were some that were like You know had lunch from I understand I'm gonna cause this thing I just feel like this is entire like the Dude overreacted but like the bank has some fucking responsibility here to put their trash out at the right time i mean i know in my neighborhood i get in trouble if i put my trash out too early yeah yeah or if you leave the cans out like a day later yeah people don't like that shit yeah our locality is rules are like you can only put your trash out up to 12 hours before and you have to have them in after they're empty you can't leave them out for an additional day or you could get a ticket or whatever i have to follow rules why don't why no bank follow rules it's a little unhinged what the response but also like mark said it's justified so that might be hinged that's a tough call no that's unhinged it's clearly unhinged but okay we're not judging justification today we're judging hinged that's true so unhinged but cool got it unhinged but justified unhinged but i'm like i'm glad they did that because it gives us something to talk about agreed i have another one uh that doesn't hurt anybody i don't think this person was working as a security guard in a hospital and then the area that their hospital was located they had this they had people in the area like unhoused people or people who were like addicts and had issues that would cause problems around the property and like they this person was never trying to like call the cops and get them arrested but they had to you know keep them out of the hospital and keep the patients and what you know safe and like they had to deal with these people but they tried to do it politely but there was this one person in particular who would just do a lot of drugs and would just do a lot of crazy shit and they always tried to be polite and deal with them but it's really difficult to deal with someone who is not of their right mind and so this person was around again and trying to get in the main entrance and the security guard was like oh please just okay and they were trying to talk to this person and and calm them down and get them to continue elsewhere.

38:17And the security guard noticed that there were cops clearly coming down the road with their lights on. Somebody had called the cops. And the security guard was like, this guy does not need to be arrested. He just needs to cool off and come down from whatever he's on. Like, that sucks. I don't want him to get picked up by these cops. But they couldn't get this person to leave. And the cops are coming. They're turning into the hospital. They're clearly coming this way. and finally the security guard is like all right i'm gonna get him out of here one way or another and this dude whatever was happening this dude was like talking about do you see the monkeys do you see the monkeys something like that that's what he was on that's why he was freaking out and the security guard had been trying to tell him it's all good you know take a breath and finally the security guard is just like you know what i do see the monkeys i am the monkeys they're right here and like freaked the fuck out and and the guy who was afraid of the monkeys was just like and like fucking ran away and fleed from the hospital and fleed also from the cops because then the cops pull up and the security guard's staying right there and like oh i don't know and so but the security guard like fully like freaked out like like everything and scared the shit out of this guy and ran away escaped no idea where they went but but this was in the main entrance of the hospital so like there's like patients and doctors behind in the in the waiting there's a cameras this this is in the middle of a public area in the main entrance of a hospital security guard just does that and after the guy leaves the security guard is just like all right yeah good saved him hinged or unhinged i think it's hinged i i don't know i've been jumping in early on this all the time so wait you could start if you want but man i get why he did it and it worked it was smart like it was clever thinking but just imagining the scenario where people are sitting around like someone's sick not feeling well they're trying to get back people are like and then all of a sudden you look over and the guy who like you're expected to protect you is all like that's fucking unhinged as hell to witness i don't know there it's if you think about it from if if you're matched up one to one he's got one to one this guy and him are in this own little world of theirs he's not exceeding anything that the guy was already bringing into the situation right so whereas like the trash is like unhinged and I think the response is because there was another solution.
