I need to work on that. [00:06:51] Speaker A: Like, something just come up at the time. Wait, this way. [00:06:54] Speaker B: That's on me. I'm gonna work on it. It's a lot of stuff to do, y'all. So today we talking about our top five reasons to get out of work. You wanna go first? I'll go first. [00:07:07] Speaker A: Nah, you go first. Cause mine is. I told you. I'm telling you. [00:07:12] Speaker B: Number five is an easy one. Depending on your industry, it don't matter. But like, some of the jobs I worked, because it's like, you gotta be at a certain place at a certain time or get there before, like, traffic get too bad or whatever. You know, they might put somebody else on your route or whatever. So my number five is overslept. You just overslept. You had an early time to go to work, and you. You overslept and it was too late, so they had to put somebody else on your route. So you overslept. [00:07:44] Speaker A: Is my number five to get out of work? [00:07:48] Speaker B: Yeah. Cause you just didn't go. So you ain't gonna just no call, no show. Okay, so you call in an hour late, man, my bad. I overslept. You know what I'm saying? And now you. You still in trouble, but you ain't in that much trouble. So my number five. What's your number five? [00:08:00] Speaker A: So my number five was kind of like, it depended if I was working from home or, like, going into work. So it was either my car broke down or my Internet's not working because I worked from home at one point doing. [00:08:15] Speaker B: You just took up two. No, it was just like, that's two good ones. [00:08:21] Speaker A: No, it's not. [00:08:21] Speaker B: The Internet not working is what New use. Now they do that. They do that basic. [00:08:26] Speaker A: That's what I'm saying. It's very basic. But they do that now a lot, like, covet time. My Internet not working. [00:08:35] Speaker B: Yeah. And even. But now, like, a lot of work from home, people, you'll see them on, like, social media, especially if they live, like, in the same area, they'd be like, y'all Internet out. Like, oh, let me. Let me screenshot this. Because a lot of times now, like, especially Spectrum, they're sending out a message saying, you know, yeah, service outage or whatever. [00:08:54] Speaker A: See, that's why you use it no more. [00:08:55] Speaker B: You email. [00:08:56] Speaker A: It's too common now. [00:08:58] Speaker B: What? [00:08:58] Speaker A: Using the Internet. [00:09:00] Speaker B: Mm. Mm. [00:09:01] Speaker A: Basic. [00:09:02] Speaker B: That's a good one. [00:09:03] Speaker A: It's time to get dark now. [00:09:05] Speaker B: The car broke down. But I mean, if that's a good one, I mean, that's a good one. I mean, that ain't bad. My number four. [00:09:18] Speaker A: Go ahead, Go ahead. [00:09:19] Speaker B: It's based on the type of industry you in. So my job especially, you know, in years past, it was kind of physical, so you couldn't do it if you were injured, so. Yeah, my back hurt, my ankle or whatever. You know, call in with an injury. [00:09:34] Speaker A: Okay. [00:09:34] Speaker B: You know, number four is injury. [00:09:37] Speaker A: Okay. [00:09:38] Speaker B: But that don't work for everybody. Like, if you're a teacher. Yeah, you hurt your ankle. [00:09:42] Speaker A: Yeah. They don't care. [00:09:42] Speaker B: Take your ass to work. [00:09:43] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:09:44] Speaker B: You work at a desk. [00:09:45] Speaker A: Get an ace bandage. We could. The nurse could bandage you up when you get here. [00:09:48] Speaker B: You got insurance, you know what I'm saying? But some jobs, you just can't do it. Injured. I was out of work for two weeks one time because I had an infection in one of my toes and my whole foot swollen up. I couldn't even put on a shoe, let alone the steel toe slit resistant boot. [00:10:05] Speaker A: Oh, my gosh. [00:10:06] Speaker B: So I was just out of work for two weeks, and finally the infected part of the toe, it finally burst and it started oozing out, and then I got relief and it healed okay. Yeah. Two. Two more. [00:10:24] Speaker A: That was a lot. [00:10:25] Speaker B: Oh, my bad. What's your number four? [00:10:29] Speaker A: My number four is for when I lived in New York. Bomb threat in my neighborhood. Can't get training for the bomb threat. Can't do nothing. [00:10:39] Speaker B: That's very regional specific. That's a good one. [00:10:44] Speaker A: Mm. [00:10:45] Speaker B: I mean, but I guess this is post 9 11. [00:10:50] Speaker A: Yeah, no, I know. Yeah. Post 9 11. Yeah. Yeah. [00:10:54] Speaker B: Very much post Boston Marathon. [00:10:56] Speaker A: Post all of it. Oh, I'm so. I can't get to work. It's a bomb threat in my neighborhood. And like, you would think they'd be like, oh, well, then come to work. No, I can't get on the train. The buses is not coming to the neighborhood. [00:11:08] Speaker B: But that stuff, I'm stuck. That's stuff that's easily verifiable. [00:11:12] Speaker A: No, back then it was not. It was not like the Internet was not what it was. Okay. When we were using that. [00:11:19] Speaker B: True. [00:11:20] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:11:21] Speaker B: That's a. Okay. [00:11:22] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:11:22] Speaker B: That wouldn't work. [00:11:23] Speaker A: Created a bomb threat. And then I would tell whoever lived in my neighborhood that was going to work. Like, yo, I told them it was a bomb threat at work. I'm not going. And they were like, word. Yeah, let me let them know I ain't going either. [00:11:37] Speaker B: Oh, I got one for you. [00:11:39] Speaker A: Mm. [00:11:40] Speaker B: Number three. [00:11:41] Speaker A: Your number three. Go ahead. [00:11:42] Speaker B: I'm steal it. [00:11:43] Speaker A: Go ahead. [00:11:43] Speaker B: Cause I know this one. You use my kids sick. [00:11:48] Speaker A: Oh, I don't use that one. [00:11:49] Speaker B: You don't? [00:11:49] Speaker A: Never. [00:11:50] Speaker B: Really? [00:11:51] Speaker A: Never. [00:11:52] Speaker B: It's scary now. [00:11:53] Speaker A: Cause I don't want my baby to get sick. [00:11:54] Speaker B: Exactly. I said something one time somebody had invited me, and I was just being funny. They invited me like some cookout or something. And I was like, yeah, I'm gonna be sick that day. [00:12:05] Speaker A: You told them ahead of time? [00:12:06] Speaker B: Yeah, I was like, yeah, I ain't gonna make it. I'll be sick that day. And Ryan was sick on that day. Like, it was crazy. I never said that again. [00:12:13] Speaker A: See? [00:12:14] Speaker B: So you don't want to say your kids. [00:12:15] Speaker A: Yeah, I never use. My kid is sick. If my. If anything, I'll say, like, my son is having, like a crisis moment because he's. He's on the spectrum. [00:12:23] Speaker B: New. New age. Yeah, new age, which is real newfangled vocabulary. [00:12:28] Speaker A: The crisis moment, y'all. In crisis moments, a lot of kids can't get pulled back from it until they see, like, mommy or daddy. It can take some kids hours to get out of a crisis moment. [00:12:43] Speaker B: Is that spectrum language where. Spectrum. [00:12:47] Speaker A: I don't know if a lot of people use that. I used it. We used it at my old job. Like when kids were in crisis modes and they throwing everything they hit in the class. Like the classmates, teachers. Some kids, it took them all day to get out of that. And most of the time they didn't call the parents. [00:13:04] Speaker B: Is crisis mode synonymous with temper tantrum? [00:13:10] Speaker A: Yeah, but the difference is those kids on the spectrum don't know how to regulate their emotions. They don't know how to even tell you they're upset or why they're upset. It's like something snaps and there's no. They have to go through everything. It sounds to turn it off. It's a big. It's a. It's a like times 10. Temper tantrum. [00:13:34] Speaker B: Is that tantamount to a grown up being a crash out? [00:13:41] Speaker A: I guess I Mean, but we can control ourselves. Like, you know, the people. I mean, maybe those people that spiral and they break everything in their house. Those are crisis modes. [00:13:52] Speaker B: Okay, well, I just asked that because I. Like, for me, I've never heard that phrase, but I was just wondering if that's like a phrase that's used all the time. [00:14:04] Speaker A: I don't think so. [00:14:05] Speaker B: In that arena or whatever. [00:14:06] Speaker A: I don't think so. We were trained to use it, but I don't know because I've used it with other moms and they didn't really know what I was talking about, but they're moms, so they wouldn't be trained, per se, because I was a teacher, you know. [00:14:20] Speaker B: Okay. Okay. [00:14:21] Speaker A: Yeah. So. [00:14:22] Speaker B: So that was your number three crisis mode. [00:14:24] Speaker A: Yeah. No, no, that's not. That's what I was saying, like. [00:14:27] Speaker B: Oh, you would say that. As opposed to. [00:14:29] Speaker A: Yeah, as opposed to. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:14:33] Speaker B: Cause you can't get a. That's. That's why a lot of people don't hire people with kids because they. They know. Well, they do that with moms with kids because they feel like you're gonna have to take off if your kid gets. [00:14:44] Speaker A: They love treating us like. [00:14:45] Speaker B: Which you are. You need to be barefoot and in the house. [00:14:48] Speaker A: And I think so, too. [00:14:50] Speaker B: Possibly pregnant. [00:14:51] Speaker A: What? [00:14:52] Speaker B: I said barefoot and pregnant. [00:14:53] Speaker A: Yeah, I think so, too. [00:14:55] Speaker B: Okay. [00:14:55] Speaker A: Keep me home. [00:14:56] Speaker B: Oh, okay. [00:14:57] Speaker A: Did I just win the lottery? [00:14:59] Speaker B: Take notes. [00:15:00] Speaker A: Yes. [00:15:02] Speaker B: Yes. [00:15:03] Speaker A: I wanna stay home and take care of babies. [00:15:04] Speaker B: What's your number three? [00:15:06] Speaker A: My Halloween costume growing up was a stay at home mom. I quoted a movie. It was not, but it's funny. [00:15:12] Speaker B: Sound like a white movie. [00:15:13] Speaker A: He said he was a stay at home dad. [00:15:15] Speaker B: What was that? What was that on? [00:15:16] Speaker A: It was this movie called how to be Single. Dakota Johnson. Leslie man. And. Oh, my God, why can't I remember her name? She used to play Fat Amy in Pitch Perfect. The big English girl. [00:15:32] Speaker B: Is she English or Australia? [00:15:34] Speaker A: Or is she. Is she Australia? [00:15:35] Speaker B: Cause she lost weight now. Yes, yes, I know you talking about. They were mad at her. Cause she lost weight. And it was a list of people. [00:15:43] Speaker A: It's like, leave her alone. [00:15:44] Speaker B: It's a list of people. You know how they make them list of on, like Rebel Wilson. Rebel Wilson? Yeah. [00:15:49] Speaker A: How I couldn't remember Rebel. [00:15:51] Speaker B: They said her. Jonah Hill. It was another person. They had them all up together. Said their careers went down after they lost weight. [00:16:00] Speaker A: Yeah. Which is crazy. Like. Yeah, rather people feel unhealthy. [00:16:05] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. But I know them. [00:16:07] Speaker A: To keep their careers going. It's crazy. [00:16:10] Speaker B: His career went down. They said he was an asshole, and then he had some wild shit that happened with his girlfriend. [00:16:15] Speaker A: I wouldn't be shocked. [00:16:16] Speaker B: But anyway. So your number three. [00:16:18] Speaker A: My number three. [00:16:19] Speaker B: Not crossing mode is an excuse you use? [00:16:21] Speaker A: No, no. No, it's not. I say I'm sick at work, but. [00:16:27] Speaker B: It'S your time of the month. [00:16:29] Speaker A: No. Oh, so what I do. Oh, I'm about to be judged for these last three. So what I have done at work. Old jobs, nothing in the. Nothing in the twenties. [00:16:39] Speaker B: This new you. [00:16:40] Speaker A: I'll let y'all know now. Nothing in the 20s. [00:16:42] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:16:43] Speaker A: But in the. In the teens and tens, I used to say, oh, I'm so sick at work. I would start like, oh, I'm so sick. I'm not feeling good, y'all. And they like, oh, are you okay? Go to the nurse real quick. Okay, I'm gonna go to the nurse, get a little avo something. Told him I took some. Okay, I'm okay. And then, you know, everybody go eat lunch and stuff. And I'm. I'm either with the kids or somewhere or. Or. Or if I'm not working with children, I'm in the office somewhere by myself. And so I mash up my food, and I mix water in it, and then I go, oh, you out your mouth? No, I pour it over, but there's no cameras on me or nothing. [00:17:27] Speaker B: Oh. [00:17:28] Speaker A: Then you say, and then I be. And then I got like, put some here. And I be like, oh, my God, I just threw up. They be like, go home, Lulu. Go home. Oh, wash your. Oh, go. I have created vomit and put it on the floor at work. [00:17:45] Speaker B: But see, that? That's you already. [00:17:50] Speaker A: I even put some stuff on my clothes just to really, like, seal the deal. Oh, my God. She threw up on. Because, you know, once you throw up on your clothes, they not making you stay. No, I'm like, I don't know. Maybe it's something I ate. I don't know. I'm starting to feel so weird. And they were like, oh, is somebody gonna come pick you up, or do you want a cab? Yeah, I think I'm gonna take a cab home. Oh, we're gonna pay for it. [00:18:13] Speaker B: All right, you take it up as. [00:18:15] Speaker A: Soon as I get in the cab. Yo, what y'all doing? I'm out of work. [00:18:23] Speaker B: What type of job was this? [00:18:24] Speaker A: I'm not saying anything. [00:18:26] Speaker B: You can't say the type of job. Was it, like, physical work, office work? [00:18:30] Speaker A: Either office work or working in a clothing store? Majority working in A clothing store. I worked in a clothing store. [00:18:36] Speaker B: Yeah, you can't, you can't be. [00:18:37] Speaker A: New slavery. That's what we call it. [00:18:38] Speaker B: But if I'd be like, man, that shit don't smell like no throw up. [00:18:45] Speaker A: Nobody was getting close enough to. To actually. [00:18:47] Speaker B: Who cleaned it up? [00:18:48] Speaker A: Maintenance. [00:18:50] Speaker B: Poor Mr. Johnson. Poor Mr. Johnson. [00:18:55] Speaker A: Please believe Mr. Johnson had a great Christmas gift from me. [00:19:01] Speaker B: Where are we on my number two? [00:19:02] Speaker A: Yes. [00:19:04] Speaker B: This goes to my other jobs too. So when you're driving trucks or whatever, you only have a certain amount of time you can work. So if you schedule to work the next day at a certain time, you gotta have a certain amount of rest before you can go back and start work or whatever. So a lot of times. Well, I ain't gonna say a lot of times, but sometimes if I knew I was gonna work a job that I really didn't. A ride I really didn't want to, I lengthen out my day before. So instead of getting done in 12 hours, I might get done in 16 hours. Now I know it'll be a couple hours too late for me to start that next day and they'll just have to put somebody else on the route and then I'll be off. So the excuse would be just, I worked too many hours the day before and ain't gonna be rested. [00:19:58] Speaker A: Right. [00:19:59] Speaker B: And it's only, it's a big industry, but it's only a small amount of people in that industry that kind of can do that, right. But that's it. I just work too many hours a day before I can't. Like you call, hey, I ain't gonna be rested till 9 o'clock. And the route supposed to start at 5. [00:20:17] Speaker A: Big facts, I can't do it. [00:20:19] Speaker B: Yeah, put somebody else on. Sorry. And they not going. They're not gonna start a route. They not gonna start a route like three hours late. Cause some places like you would have to deliver to, you would have to get there before like 10 or 11, because you don't wanna get there during like their busy time. And now you can't get in they parking lot or stuff like that. So you know, oh, I ain't working tomorrow. Fuck that. I'm make this a lot. This is gonna be a long day. Sometimes, sometimes you be like, man, they gonna have to send somebody to get me, make sure I don't make it back. Like sometimes you gotta do that. [00:20:54] Speaker A: Dang. [00:20:54] Speaker B: So yeah, you ain't gonna work me to death. I ain't working today and tomorrow. I was supposed to be out tomorrow anyway. I'm gonna be off that. And then you just take your time all day. [00:21:03] Speaker A: Okay. [00:21:03] Speaker B: And work at 16 then. But sometimes they'll fuck around and they know you going slow. Cause they'll be watching. Like, they can. They have, like, you know, technology now. They know exactly where you are, where you should be at a certain time. They might send somebody to help you. Now you just. You know what I'm saying? [00:21:22] Speaker A: But now you're sitting up there like. [00:21:24] Speaker B: Yeah, now you don't have to work. Yeah. So that's mine. Just working too many. That was my number two. [00:21:29] Speaker A: Okay. [00:21:29] Speaker B: What's your number two? [00:21:31] Speaker A: All righty. It's gonna get dark. Okay.

And it's like, oh, can we have. Can I speak to so. And so, like. And she calls, like, the security. Not even the front desk in, like, the main office. She calls security so they could call me down. Oh, you got an emergency call. What's. Something's going on? And then I take the call in front of security. Oh, my gosh. What? Okay. Okay, I'm on the way. And they'd be like, is everything okay? And I'd be like, I don't know. And. And so I leave. And you know, people at my old job, they talked a lot. So security. Oh, somebody from this. This hospital called her, and she had to leave. [00:22:51] Speaker B: What? Why wouldn't she get. Why wouldn't you get her to call? Like, your job job, like, the people that you. [00:22:58] Speaker A: Cause it works faster with security.

What all I said. I said work too many hours, injury. [00:24:01] Speaker A: M. [00:24:05] Speaker B: What else did I say? [00:24:10] Speaker A: What are you looking at? [00:24:11] Speaker B: Your won't be rested. [00:24:13] Speaker A: Huh? [00:24:14] Speaker B: That's three. This is my number two. No, what else did I say? [00:24:17] Speaker A: You've been going first. [00:24:18] Speaker B: I know, but I'm saying. Oh, that was your number two. Yeah, I thought that was your number three. [00:24:23] Speaker A: No, you remember the sick vomiting one? [00:24:25] Speaker B: That was your number three. [00:24:26] Speaker A: That was my number three. What, did you skip one or something? [00:24:33] Speaker B: Well, I guess this will be my number one, then. Okay, I swear, I only did three. [00:24:37] Speaker A: No, you didn't. This is. You were. [00:24:38] Speaker B: You were four. What's the four? What's the three? You did? [00:24:42] Speaker A: Okay, so the Internet not working, bomb threat and sick, and then just to fake the phone call. [00:24:51] Speaker B: Oh, I must have missed one. [00:24:53] Speaker A: You didn't. [00:24:54] Speaker B: No, I'm saying I must have missed one when I was redoing it. [00:24:56] Speaker A: Oh, oh, okay. Cause you said you're number two. [00:25:00] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. My number one is you killing off your grandma. [00:25:05] Speaker A: My Granddaddy died like 15 times. [00:25:07] Speaker B: Every. My grandma. [00:25:08] Speaker A: Well, I ain't both grandparents. I got my grandma's. I still have my grandma. So they never. [00:25:13] Speaker B: Yeah, you can't do that. [00:25:14] Speaker A: Never said it. Because I wish somebody would have faked my. One of my grandmothers. But granddads, they died a million times. [00:25:21] Speaker B: Like, I can't remember if this happened. [00:25:23] Speaker A: To me in real life. I love you, Granddaddy. [00:25:25] Speaker B: I can't remember if this happened to me in real life or it was on a movie. But somebody was like, they came up to the person, I heard about your grandma. I was like, my grandma was like, yeah, man, they say grandma died. Whatever my grandma Ben did. My grandma died when I was in high school. [00:25:41] Speaker A: Like, so you told them. Like, man, I was lying. [00:25:44] Speaker B: Yeah, I just. I just need to get off. We had a game. [00:25:47] Speaker A: Everybody's. Everybody. Grandparents, uncle, aunts, whoever. And it was great aunts for me. Cause I came from a Large family. [00:25:55] Speaker B: But see, the aunts and the uncles don't really hold no weight in a lot of these jobs. [00:26:01] Speaker A: Some they do because they are immediate family. It depends on if they're like, if they're your. If you're. If they're a parent, sibling, they count. [00:26:09] Speaker B: A lot of these jobs, they don't. Uncles don't know that's wrong. They might give you a grandparent, but like, you. Some jobs be like, well, you got to prove how close y'all was kind of type shit. Yeah. So. Oh. I mean, I don't been on you the whole time. There I go. But yeah, yeah, that's. That's probably one of the ones that a lot of people use to get out. Especially if their grandparents already been dead. They're gonna kill her. [00:26:43] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:26:44] Speaker B: I had somebody was like, man, we gotta work with something. I ain't going to work tomorrow. Like, what? I'm about to kill my grandma. [00:26:52] Speaker A: Damn. Damn. [00:26:53] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm about to kill my grandma tomorrow. Nigga, I don't know what the fuck you talking about. [00:26:56] Speaker A: Okay, so to piggyback off of your number one, okay. We have said multiple people have died because I come from a large family. And usually somebody is always dying. [00:27:07] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:27:08] Speaker A: But we never use the actual person's name or whatever. So to get out of work, you know how they tell you, like, you gotta bring back proof or something like that. And then my sister in law. This is the diabolical. [00:27:23] Speaker B: She work at a funeral home? [00:27:24] Speaker A: No, no, she doesn't. Not at all. But she and I came up with this together because it was during COVID and you know, they wanted everybody to. She still had to like, work, go into work. And she was like, I'm absolutely not going into work. So she was like, yo, we about to kill somebody off who died in the family. And we was like, we got plenty of aunts and uncles that died. And she was like, all right. So we got online and created a whole obituary. [00:27:51] Speaker B: Wow. [00:27:52] Speaker A: Ooh, somebody. Aunt Wendy was dead. [00:27:55] Speaker B: So y'all. [00:27:56] Speaker A: And handed it in and get a real. [00:27:59] Speaker B: From somebody real that died. [00:28:01] Speaker A: Yes. But we just changed their name, changed the date of death. [00:28:05] Speaker B: But see, I figure in. [00:28:06] Speaker A: Cause I can definitely tweak things online. [00:28:09] Speaker B: I figure on up there, though, you could be like, did you hear about that? You know that thing that happened on 51st? Like, yeah, I heard about that. It happened on 51st. Like, yeah, that was my cousin. No, no, they don't care about that. [00:28:21] Speaker A: They don't care about that stuff. They want tangible evidence. So we Created a whole obituary paper printed out and everything. Sent it to them people. Dirty work. I know. [00:28:33] Speaker B: Then I'm going to have to be off for the funeral. When is the funeral gonna be? [00:28:36] Speaker A: It's the date. The date's on the obituary that we gave y'all. Oh, I'm so torn up. And then just start. [00:28:43] Speaker B: And then you forget. [00:28:44] Speaker A: I'm sorry. [00:28:45] Speaker B: I'm sorry about your cousin Wendy. My cousin Wendy? I ain't got no cousin. [00:28:49] Speaker A: And then you be. And then when it click. You mean my aunt. And they be like, yeah. Oh, that's. [00:28:53] Speaker B: We called her aunt. She was older. [00:28:55] Speaker A: Yeah, she was my. She was a. She was an older cousin. But, you know, my grandmother, we. She demand respect with our elder, so we call them aunt. [00:29:05] Speaker B: Four and a half years ago, I got an honorable mention. That four and a half years ago, not only would it get you out of work for, like, 14 days, you also would get paid. [00:29:20] Speaker A: Go ahead. [00:29:21] Speaker B: Saying you had Covid. [00:29:22] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:29:24] Speaker B: I used to hate that. Cause I was an essential worker. So it wasn't no good. [00:29:28] Speaker A: So did you create forged positive? [00:29:32] Speaker B: No, I never did it, but because I want to say, like, you would be out of work, so I think. I don't know if they were paying you your regular salary or they were just paying you unemployment for them two weeks. [00:29:44] Speaker A: No, they paid you regular salary. [00:29:46] Speaker B: Okay, well, maybe that depends on the job, though. Cause I know unemployment, like unemployment here is like 368. Yeah, but during that time, during the COVID times, if you unemployed, you would get $900. I think they put extra 600 on it. So it was like 968. [00:30:04] Speaker A: Yeah, them people was winning. [00:30:06] Speaker B: So some people don't really make $900 a week. You know what I'm saying? So you would come out better getting unemployment than getting your regular weekly salary. But either way, you off of work for two weeks. But that was one that, you know, you just said you had Covid and. Oh, I had to be quarantined. Can't come to work. My kid got another kid. My kid got it. [00:30:27] Speaker A: I ain't gonna say who, but it was. There's a lot of forgery going on on positive tests. [00:30:36] Speaker B: You around and get caught. I wonder if they can. [00:30:40] Speaker A: This 20 is back in 20. 20, 20, 21. Nobody cares. [00:30:43] Speaker B: Yeah, they do care. [00:30:44] Speaker A: We ain't at those jobs no more. [00:30:45] Speaker B: They're getting people. [00:30:46] Speaker A: We end up. We're not at those jobs anymore. They're gone. [00:30:49] Speaker B: Well, I'm saying for the people that got, like, unemployment. [00:30:52] Speaker A: Oh, no, no, no. I was talking about, like, to get out of work for two weeks but still get paid. Yeah. [00:31:00] Speaker B: You got any honorable mentions? Nah, you don't got none. [00:31:03] Speaker A: I really don't. I had to dig. [00:31:05] Speaker B: Oh, I know. My other one was overslept. That was my other one. [00:31:09] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, I got the basic, I don't feel good. I overslept. Oh, my God. My alarm never went. [00:31:13] Speaker B: No, no. I was saying my other one that I. That my first one, number five, was overslept. [00:31:17] Speaker A: Okay. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:31:19] Speaker B: That was the one I missed. [00:31:20] Speaker A: And I guess for New Yorkers, the trains ain't working. [00:31:28] Speaker B: That's a good one. [00:31:29] Speaker A: Quick, fast. [00:31:29] Speaker B: Because you ain't. It ain't like you could just. [00:31:32] Speaker A: And you can't look it up either. Can't look up. [00:31:35] Speaker B: They might say it on the news or something. [00:31:36] Speaker A: No, they do not. Because, like, it's so unpredictable to where somebody might get sick and on the train, and they have to stop the train. And it sits at a station. Oh, so. And it's not being told. It's not being reported, like, live. So, yep, the train ain't working. I can't come to work. [00:31:59] Speaker B: Another one is like, emergency at your house. Like, you could say your house caught fire. [00:32:03] Speaker A: I've said my house flooded, which it has at one point flooded as well. But when I did use it, it didn't. One time, my building smelled like peppermint, but it was like a chemical that leaked. And they told everybody to stay in their house, like, seal your doors. [00:32:20] Speaker B: It's something. That that smell means something. [00:32:22] Speaker A: And my. My manager was like, that doesn't make any sense. I said, look it up. [00:32:27] Speaker B: And what was it? [00:32:28] Speaker A: I don't know. It was like 10 years ago. Yeah, but it's real. [00:32:33] Speaker B: I'm trying to think. The wildest reason I did. I really didn't get to work. [00:32:39] Speaker A: I've gone to work for hangover with hangovers. That's how I know when I get creative. [00:32:44] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:32:45] Speaker A: I get creative. [00:32:47] Speaker B: Well, I just. Cause some job. Like some jobs I had, like. Like when I worked on the railroad, I could just be like, yo, I'm marking off sick. You know, mark me off whatever. And it ain't. You know, they ain't gonna ask why whatever. Unless you drunk, and you don't really want to do that. But mark me off sick. They'll just. All right, call us when you get. Feel better. [00:33:09] Speaker A: Right. [00:33:09] Speaker B: You know what I'm saying? But I have gotten caught in traffic before, but I was already on the way to work. You know what I'M saying weather bad. One time I went to work, I heard a snowstorm was coming, like an ice storm was coming. And I lived in Columbia. I mean, I live here, but I work in Columbia. And they hadn't sent out the update, but I had to leave my house in order to make it work in time. I had to leave my house so early until the update came after. I was almost at work. And when I got to work, there was nobody there. So I just had to turn around, get in my car and go back. But by the time I got there, the ice storm had started. So I got to work, got in my car, turned around and came back. But by this time, all the roads were icy. I had to drive the whole way, like going 35 miles an hour. It was crazy. [00:34:04] Speaker A: It took me forever to get home. [00:34:05] Speaker B: Yeah, it took me like. But I just put a podcast on. It was just driving slow the whole way. Like it was crazy. It just sounded like crunching the whole thing. [00:34:13] Speaker A: I'd have been pissed off. [00:34:15] Speaker B: I was cool. Cause I ain't had to work that day. [00:34:17] Speaker A: No, I'm talking about during that drive home. [00:34:19] Speaker B: I'd have been like, no, I wasn't pissed off, though. Cause it was nobody there. I was like, man, I should have just not. Because I hate being late. So I could have just waited and just been late, but I just didn't want to take the chance of being late and then having to start my route. [00:34:34] Speaker A: Being a good employee, huh? [00:34:35] Speaker B: Yeah, because that. But how I was then, I was like, well, if I get the earlier I start, the earlier I get off. You know what I'm saying? So that's how I used to be. But that's it. Email us djblazuregmail.com. your wildest reasons are. [00:34:54] Speaker A: Excuses. [00:34:55] Speaker B: Creative ways to get off work.
