We don't need a smart tea maker. Electric kettle, baby. Boil the fucking water on the stove, man, and dip the bag in there. Why we need to get the weather on the tea maker? Electric kettle, man. I don't need Bluetooth to make tea. At all. Fancy ass tea maker.
Everything don't need to be smart. Everything don't need to be smart. That's my fridge and my toilet. That's all I need. You don't need a smart fridge either, yo. That's just elitist bullshit. I mean, you kind of do. Why? Because you just said you got one. It helps. Well, I don't have one because I don't need one. You always think that to you. You didn't think you needed a smart toilet. Now you can't live without it. I don't need a smart toilet. Actually, I bought one too many. I don't need no smart toilet at all. Hey, Mark, remember you said your power went out? Yeah. That means your toilet don't work. That sucks. You can't manually... You can't manually do shit, but piss on the floor. And my bowel movement is faster than the smart technology to lift the thing.
Man, I'm already peeing everywhere. They ain't got time for this shit. But it's beautiful opening up while I'm peeing everywhere. Oh, it's lovely. It's my wife's, really. I just sneak and use it when she's not around. What do we really need smart? Phones. Phone for sure.
That's it. And even that's debatable. I mean, honestly, I kind of wish that they made like an Apple phone that was dumb. Yeah, we don't need the phones like that. Yes, we do. Audience, listen.
Slow news day. Word. Grab your tinfoil. Oh, yeah. We hear the deck. Slow news day. Is she still on vacation unbeknownst to me? I had no idea. I'm ready to work with whoever the fuck is going to work. You still look sad, by the way. Who?
You.
This morning when I said, yo, Ish isn't coming in again, I could sort of drop in your face again. Wait, you told him that Ish wasn't coming in?
Yeah, he doesn't pay attention.
You don't know who. He don't pay attention. Ish told me he was going on vacation. Stupid me think that that means you're going to miss a pod. Right. But you entitled podcasters, for y'all that means- Also known as workers. For y'all that means miss a few pods, which is like longer than a week. My vacations are normally restricted to- places that are two and three hours away so I can make it back here just in case some news breaks, in case the people need me. You guys, when y'all go, y'all go. But, I mean, I'm not comparing. Yeah, I was about to say, because when the funds come in from the subscriptions. I'm not comparing. I'm not comparing. So it should be back. Grab your tinfoil. We're going to have to flip.
Also, you lied to us, Joe. This is the thing, because you talk about us, but... When I negotiated, I'm not getting into contract stuff, but when I first started working here, I met with you personally. Then I met with Ian, and y'all both told me the same thing. The workday starts early. We get in and out. First episode will be done by 2 o'clock. You'll be home by, we'll be out of here by 5 or 6 o'clock. So it's no problem at all. I was like, word? That was never the case. They got him. So my dumb ass asked a couple people that worked here at the time. And they were all like, nah, it'd be later. It'd be like 8, 9 o'clock. And I was like, nah, that's too big of a gap. And Joe wouldn't lie to me.
We used to get out of here like 7-ish.
Yes, but that's different than what he told me. That still ain't what they say. And that is still one of my shortcomings. Lying? Lying. I may lie when I want something. You may. I may. I may not. Depends on the mood. What's the vibe? What's happening? Mark came at a time where, yeah, yeah, I'm going to shoot this lie out.
