Transcription

Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

0.537 - 4.961 Unknown

Welcome, welcome, welcome to Armchair Anonymous. I'm Dax Shepard. I'm joined by Monica Padman.

0

5.161 - 6.503 Monica Padman

It's your favorite day.

0

6.523 - 11.407 Unknown

It's my favorite day. And I'm shocked there's always been three. We must be titling them different.

0

11.508 - 12.388 Monica Padman

We're titling them different.

0

12.408 - 24.38 Unknown

We must be. But this is Unauthorized Evacuation 3. Tell us about an unexpected evacuation. And they're always beautiful and endearing and life-affirming.

24.56 - 26.562 Monica Padman

It's the thing that's going to bring us together.

26.542 - 31.867 Unknown

Yeah, we can all relay or most of us. And if you can't relate yet, you will relate at some point in your life.

Chapter 2: What unexpected events led to an unauthorized evacuation?

32.307 - 54.608 Unknown

Please enjoy Unauthorized Evacuations.

0

56.393 - 59.298 Kayla

Hello. Hi, Dax and Monica.

0

59.538 - 62.723 Unknown

Kayla, are you from a long line of Kalas? Are you the first?

0

63.044 - 70.055 Kayla

I'm the first, Kayla. My dad said he found it while sitting on the toilet in the baby book. So that's how I got my name.

0

70.075 - 72.299 Unknown

Oh, wonderful. He was leafing through it.

72.559 - 75.003 Monica Padman

The best ideas can come to you on the toilet.

75.183 - 81.253 Unknown

Yeah. Also, I mean, pretty good dad. I don't know when you were born, but probably 90s. Were you born in the 90s?

81.503 - 82.544 Kayla

Yeah, 96.

83.025 - 87.45 Unknown

The fact that he's taking time to read a baby-naming book, not probably super typical.

Chapter 3: How did stress impact the guest's health leading up to the evacuation?

87.59 - 92.576 Kayla

Yeah, and I mean, on the toilet, maybe that's how we got to this story. Oh, yeah.

0

92.596 - 101.948 Unknown

And if we make the opposite argument, you could also argue he only read it because he was stuck on the toilet and there was nothing else to read. No, but we're glass half full here. Where are you, Kayla?

0

102.148 - 102.969 Kayla

I'm in Orange County.

0

103.109 - 106.353 Unknown

And it happens even in sunny California, unauthorized evacs.

0

106.373 - 109.237 Monica Padman

Sad, I don't like hearing that. Well, we know that's true. It's happened to both of us.

109.257 - 110.498 Unknown

Personally, yeah.

111.406 - 121.701 Kayla

Honestly, it wasn't my proudest at first, but, you know, since been telling to like break the ice at work and at parties and, you know, it's funny now. So that's great.

121.981 - 125.547 Unknown

All right. Walk us through it. Tell us the year. What was happening?

125.567 - 150.193 Kayla

So it was 2019. I was freshly in college. I honestly was like very, very stressed at the time. I was working a full time job at a makeup counter and then a part time job at this snow cone place. And then I was also going to school full time. Wow. I set that up to say I was very, very stressed. My GI wasn't exactly working.

Chapter 4: What humorous incidents occurred during the evacuation?

282.045 - 298.468 Kayla

And then, yeah, just like this cute little shirt. I had to wear all black to work. Anyways, I'm going to walk around the back of my counter. And I got a second to breathe. And I was like, okay, I'll just let it go right here. So I let it go. And all of a sudden, I feel something running down my spine.

0

299.495 - 303.081 Unknown

Are you in the center of the store or are you behind the counter?

0

303.141 - 316.562 Kayla

My counter is in the center of the store. And then I kind of have this little loop behind my counter where I can kind of hide from the rest of the people in the store. So that's kind of where I am because I was like, okay, no one's in the back here. Let me just step to the side.

0

316.663 - 318.786 Unknown

But it is a public part of the store.

0

318.766 - 335.983 Kayla

My customer totally could have seen me, and it's a very busy Saturday. Oh. I was like, oh no, something's running down my leg. I was like, what did I take? So I go run to the back of the store where the bathroom is, assess the situation, and I'm just covered.

336.003 - 336.623 Unknown

You're covered.

336.823 - 340.247 Kayla

Diarrhea all over my thong, inside of my skirt.

340.647 - 342.509 Unknown

In your shirt, because it was tucked in.

Chapter 5: What challenges did the guest face while working at a busy store?

342.609 - 346.713 Kayla

In your shirt? Skirt and shirt. My shirt was tucked into my skirt.

0

346.873 - 349.077 Unknown

Oh. Full wardrobe, took out the whole wardrobe.

0

349.097 - 370.605 Kayla

Literally took out the whole wardrobe. I'm like panicking now. Thank God no one's in the bathroom the same time as I am. But I'm taking all the toilet paper, just like trying to like get it off myself. I throw away my thong because I'm like, there's no saving this thing. And I'm panicking. I'm like, what did I take? What do I do? I don't even know. I'm panicking. I'm not thinking.

0

370.745 - 393.683 Kayla

And I live right across the street at the time. Like literally, like I could have walked home, but I obviously didn't for obvious reasons. I get out of the bathroom. I see my manager in passing and I say, hey, I got to go. Emergency. I'll be back. And she was like, everything OK? And I was like, I got to go. So I just booked it out of the store. Yeah. I sit in my car, can't believe that happened.

0

393.984 - 411.16 Kayla

I'm like crying. I'm like, oh my gosh, like what am I doing? And I look at the pill bottle, type in the name of the pill into Google. Sure enough, it's a laxative. And I was not supposed to take it until I was at home or by a toilet.

Chapter 6: How did the guest's situation escalate in the store?

411.14 - 412.021 Kayla

Yeah.

0

412.041 - 416.306 Unknown

Yeah. Not at work. Probably the one they give you for a colonoscopy cleanse.

0

416.887 - 418.449 Kayla

Like probably a powerful enema.

0

418.629 - 419.13 Unknown

Yeah.

0

419.711 - 439.76 Kayla

Oh, that's what my friend was saying. She was like, sounds very similar to when I had mine. I was like, okay, great. But anyways, I have to go back to work. I need this job. I can't just like not show back up. I don't know what I was thinking. I probably could have called, but it was a busy Saturday. So run home. I get changed. Don't think anything of it. And I'm like, I'm in the clear.

439.921 - 442.148 Kayla

That emptied me all out. I'll be fine.

442.509 - 443.553 Unknown

Well, this is a two-parter.

446.984 - 471.777 Kayla

Maybe a three or four-parter. I don't know. Thankfully not a two-parter, but it's not the best situation I get back. I get back and it's still busy in the store. And I'm now in like full heavy sweats just because nerves or whatever, maybe the laxative. I don't really know. But I'm by my counter and my counter was like packed before. There's not a soul to be seen, but the store is still busy.

473.039 - 484.755 Kayla

I was like, oh my gosh, just because I'm not here for a second. No one wanted to help me. Like what's going on? And so I'm walking around the counter and I'm like, oh, my gosh, like something smells really bad over here.

Chapter 7: What embarrassing aftermath followed the evacuation incident?

856.631 - 873.824 Unknown

Go through the tapes. Oh my God, it was Kayla. Maybe customers complain like there's shit on the floor of your store. And it came to her. She had to review the tapes. Otherwise, she wouldn't have even known if it's not that she didn't see it in action. Someone would have told her, watch the tapes.

0

874.165 - 884.328 Unknown

Basically, what she wanted to get to was like, hey, when you shit on the floor, you got to tell me because customers complained and then I got called. And then she panicked when you stonewalled her.

0

884.348 - 884.829 Monica Padman

Interesting.

0

884.849 - 886.393 Unknown

That's also very plausible.

0

886.373 - 896.023 Monica Padman

I know, but my guess would be that the customer would go to someone in the store. They're not going to wait till they get home and call the corporate. They're going to go. So I'm like, hey, there's something going on back there.

896.223 - 903.67 Kayla

I would agree with you, Monica. I mean, where we live, the complaints we got in our store were like crazy. But weeks later.

903.711 - 913.14 Unknown

The reason I think we can rule out someone flagged a manager in the store is the manager would have dealt with the shit on the ground. So the manager couldn't have known real time.

913.12 - 917.89 Monica Padman

But I just think it's weird that they would call corporate instead of just asking someone up front like, hey.

918.051 - 921.779 Unknown

Some bougie people, they live to call that number. It's on speed dial. They're horny.

Chapter 8: How does the guest reflect on the experience years later?

1485.686 - 1494.694 Unknown

Can I ask really quickly, how long do you think the duration was of that whole project? Because my hunch is you're gone kind of a while. My absence was noted for sure.

0

1496.215 - 1499.158 Monica Padman

They probably thought you were par sick from the bus ride.

0

1499.392 - 1502.036 Josh

That's right. That would be a generous bumpy ride.

0

1502.858 - 1503.799 Monica Padman

That's what I would think.

0

1503.819 - 1525.643 Josh

Oh, he's got a sick tummy. So then you're teaching for the next three hours and insanely self-conscious about my sitting over here. Am I trying to hide myself behind books and desks? And I'm not really probably getting up and engaging as much as I should. It's just a weird feeling to not have underwear on in front of a classroom of children. Yeah. In khakis too, I'll add.

1525.963 - 1529.688 Unknown

Because there's a lot of room for a lot of slip slappy and bouncing.

1529.968 - 1530.869 Monica Padman

Oh no.

1530.889 - 1532.351 Unknown

General penis and testicle plug.

1532.371 - 1536.636 Monica Padman

Oh no. Yeah. Did you feel like I'm not a pervert, but like I'm behaving like one.
