Unpaid Lunch : A Podcast About Work
The Hoot Owl
Night shifts, oh the stories we can tell! We've had our fair share of strange encounters - from drunk customers to heated arguments. But what keeps us going is the camaraderie among us night shifters and the humor we find in unexpected places. Just picture a bunch of us sitting around, playing card games, and exchanging stories about the sketchy characters that roll in late at night. Remember that time someone arrived at the gas station with a pocket full of cash and pills? Oh, and we can't forget the blame game that always seems to happen when we're not around to defend ourselves.
Now, for a little fun, let's imagine a world where Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk face each other in a trial by combat. Who do you think would win? We've had some hearty debates over this while sipping on our third cup of coffee for the night. Joe Rogan as a champion, escaping this planet, the possibilities are endless. So, buckle up and join us on this wild ride as we spill the beans about our experiences of the night shift lifestyle. We promise it's going to be a hoot!

On your break today. Monroe's in studio to help us remember what it's like to work. The Hoodale Night Shift is what we're talking about and Andy P is excited for Celebrity Deathmatch. Alright, time to clock out for lunch. Welcome to Unpaid Lunch and thank you for spending your break with us. I'm HeavyD. With me in this episode is Andy P and yeah, andy P's here, obviously always and Monroe's filling in for Rhino because Rhino's out sick. He worked sick during the lunchy awards. He was like standing up and hurting. He just couldn't do it. Today I knew he couldn't, couldn't make it, couldn't fucking make it. It's fine, you can play hurt, but you can't play injured. Wrap Monroe.
Speaker 2:Oh, or baby.
Speaker 1:Is he gonna tend A? I'm not paying him, so Felix needs to pay him for that.
Speaker 3:He would probably take advantage of that.
Speaker 1:I think he'd be on the hour. He'll be back next week. It's fun. So Night Shift. Did I do the intro man? I don't remember. I think I did.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:All right, it's not convincing. So Night Shift we've all worked Night Shift, I think most people who started out, I think a lot of people's first job was probably fucking like Night Shift, or at least worked some Night Shift. I don't know what that was for me.
Speaker 3:Midnight's at a gas station.
Speaker 1:Yeah, midnight's at a gas station, that's wild.
Speaker 2:At the hospital, though it's like 630, 12 hours shift.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I called Monroe in because there's nobody I'd rather talk to about working Night Shift than Monroe man. It is what it is.
Speaker 2:Most people don't like it. I do, though.
Speaker 1:I know you enjoy it and thriving it. I think if you can deal with nah, I can't fucking do it.
Speaker 3:You have to be built different for it, man yeah.
Speaker 2:I've never been able to sleep, so it just always fit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I guess, so you might as well make money. Yeah, I got it.
Speaker 2:But it's not much for her.
Speaker 1:Oh man, I don't know. I worked for at least two years of me working at the gas station was Night Shift. How long did you work?
Speaker 3:Right at two years. Yeah, Maybe two years before I left there but I was on. Night Shift the entire time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you worked a fucking while. Yeah, man, it's so different working Night Shift, like people who work Night Shift are different and like being around them, like there's so many things I was thinking about that Night Shift is so different than Day Shift because, like, so the first thing that comes to mind is being able to sleep anywhere, like when you, when you work on Night Shift, like you're just asleep during the day Absolutely All the time.
Speaker 3:Wherever you're at, I've got 45 minutes. That's a cozy looking corner there. Yeah, pass the fuck out Put my hat down over my eyes.
Speaker 1:I'm out. Yeah, just fucking sitting there at a ball game like half time. Pull your hat down, fall asleep.
Speaker 2:Buzz or Wakeshift.
Speaker 1:I swear I could sleep. I slept so many places, so good. There's no better sleep than when you get home after work, once you fall asleep. Once you fall asleep, once you can fall asleep for the day that like that sleep solid. It is For an hour.
Speaker 3:It's important of a role to blackout curtains play in your life.
Speaker 2:That's like number one it has to be dark.
Speaker 3:If there's any light coming through, it's, I'm up. It's such a weird thing that you have to go for, but you have to have you have to pay either a room with no windows or complete blackout curtains. Yeah, you have to completely psychologically trick your body. Yeah, manage what's that. It's great for you.
Speaker 1:Like what is that disease that you can get? It's not. I don't think it's a disease, it's a disorder. A disorder you can get when, like it throws off your sleep cycle or whatever, where you think day is not night as day. Blind people suffer from it a lot. I think night shifters are the same way. I feel that what is day and what is night? You also eat different than everybody else does.
Speaker 2:Yeah, my first meal is usually at midnight.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yes.
Speaker 2:The whole day, the whole day. That's my only meal, really.
Speaker 1:We used to go that's my favorite thing was going to a huddle house. Man. We used to fucking go. I'd get off, I'd work all night and then get off work and like the whole crew would like come hang out all fucking night Like three to six, like everybody would be just fucking hanging out at the gas station and we'd leave in the morning and go to a huddle house in wise and eat and fucking just pig out there and then go back home and go to bed.
Speaker 3:So I looked up my first meal of the day came in whenever had an awesome older lady that came in about 345 ish to start cooking breakfast. Uh huh, shout out, barb. Fuck yeah, fuck. Yeah, barb, she would be throwing down on that breakfast griddle and I'd get her to make me a cheeseburger. Yeah, yeah or something.
Speaker 1:Oh man, yeah, there's, and that's what makes you sleep during the days is fucking go home and, like you, eat a huge meal at 7am.
Speaker 2:At night, though, you have to either before 10 o'clock to get good food like pizza or something, or you can choose that midnight one o'clock and get Taco Bell or Wintes.
Speaker 3:When you work at a gas station, everything in front of you is edible, so yeah, we get leftovers.
Speaker 2:We get leftovers all the time I was gonna say you all got.
Speaker 1:Is that restaurant open?
Speaker 2:Which one?
Speaker 1:Is there a?
Speaker 2:restaurant in oh, there's a grill in the hospital that stays open all night.
Speaker 1:All night long.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And then at least I had, I think my, my like 2am lunch. Most of the time was probably a bag of chips and beef stick. Like most of the time that's just what it was. Then we started making pizza rolls and I like and I was the one that fucking made the pizza rolls, so like I was just like I'm gonna have a pizza roll five in the morning.
Speaker 3:That's when Always the one putting the first pain in it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, what time. I determine what time I'm gonna be hungry is what time the pizza rolls are gonna be out. Mm, hmm, because I don't care about them, obviously, I'm just there for the pizza rolls. And you work. What do you work? How many? You work straight. I work five straight. You work five straight notches. Yeah, no man Fucking off. That. That's tough. Oh, that fifth one's rough right.
Speaker 2:It's the worst, like come midnight Struggle this.
Speaker 1:It's funny because you don't really have a day off after that. No, you get home like eight or something, eight, nine, eight or nine o'clock, and then stay up a little bit because you're not gonna be going to work that night. So you stay up a little bit and then go to sleep in the middle of the day and you sleep the whole day away. Yeah, and your first day off.
Speaker 2:You really. It's not a day off.
Speaker 1:Your first day off is completely gone. Yeah, when you're on night shift, yeah, I think you're just not expected to sleep when you work night shifts.
Speaker 2:No, like people will get mad at you when you try to sleep on night shifts.
Speaker 1:When it's the only way to make money at the gas station. Right, you got a 50 cent shift for something there at 50. Is it not 50? It's probably a quarter 10 cents.
Speaker 3:I can't remember. Honestly, it's been so long ago.
Speaker 2:Get this.
Speaker 3:I think it might have been 50.
Speaker 2:Might not shift if at the hospital 63 cents, oh, nurses, four or five dollars.
Speaker 3:I would revolt, can't even know nothing about it Pitchforks. That's pretty bad Torches.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:Every bit of it. Yeah, don't get fired, true, yeah, when you're on night shift and then you come off of it and you're supposed to work day shift jobs, they shouldn't count that first. They shouldn't count that first. Two weeks, no, because I'm gonna be useless to you the first few hours of the shift. I'm not gonna be able to do work from 8 am to noon.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I work now she's.
Speaker 1:I went straight from working. Now she has to work in 8 am To 4 and and I was like I'm not even. I Can't even put that together.
Speaker 2:How many times did you just stay up and just go away?
Speaker 1:Oh, I was definitely the first week. Yeah, just stayed up all fucking night because there's no way I could go to sleep anyway. Mm-hmm, of course I don't sleep now. No, I could work, not a shift now.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:No, I've done stuff like Work, a double working on a retail job or some bullshit. Yeah work through the night, or I've like Volunteered for like two weeks at a time working night shift, and you know it's not so bad. But to do it every like consistently, like that, there's no fucking way I've gone insane.
Speaker 1:And what's funny in a padded room, yeah, at the gas station is like there. If there's a midnight guy, it's like a dedicated midnight guy and you know that's the midnight guy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he's all yeah.
Speaker 1:That's what they do, man. So many of them just don't show up. I had a midnight guy that just wouldn't wouldn't show up when I was, when I was the gas station and in Iran and I.
Speaker 3:Think, when I worked there, I was literally the closest yeah employee.
Speaker 1:I was like within you got called, no matter what.
Speaker 3:Yeah, there was no weather emergency that could happen. That I had an excuse for. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's, the proximity is terrible. Yeah, my boss lived across the street From the gas station. I remind it was like that's terrible proximity. You don't live that close to work.
Speaker 3:No. Fuck you up, I live in work. Oh, it's fine.
Speaker 1:I guess it's a Not a shift, though it's like you, you live there.
Speaker 2:you live there anyway, true where you're all night long and most people think like, on that shift you don't really do anything. You got it's easy nights most of time, but every now and then Everything goes to hell.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and there's no help, and there's no help. There's no help because it's work for in the morning. Yeah, we work with less people most of the time man, we do shit like a Like when the races would let out Like when there was dirt track races here in the county all the fucking time every Friday night or whatever right and like, and we Work midnights and the races wouldn't let out.
Speaker 1:Well, races let out like 1 am, so like 1, 30 or 2 o'clock in the morning, you'd get. You'd get like fucking 30 cars and you got a store full of people and you've already mopped the floor and like did everything and it's just you and it's just you. Yeah, but and it's that brings me on to the other topic that one of the advantages working out shift and it's obviously always the advantage right is, um, there's no bosses nobody's looking over your shoulder.
Speaker 3:Yeah, if you can get lucky at I would work midnight to six for a really long stint. Yeah and then they would switch my schedule up and I would work midnight to eight or something and damn it if the manager didn't come in at the seven, and I would like be so lucky for so long to get out before I saw anybody.
Speaker 1:So I think that's on purpose. Like to see you in the fucking morning.
Speaker 2:That's the only way we see you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, man, yeah, you guys are over it, right. Yeah, and they see the worst version of you. You see me. If you see me at 8 am, that's the worst version of me. Yeah, I'm like, your killers are stopped. It's like did you, did you mop? Yeah, I fucking mopped four hours ago.
Speaker 2:They'll come in. I heard how everything go. Is gonna we just stay there and sit there at them? Nobody talks. No okay, we're gonna let you go See y'all. We got some good days off. There's a long night. Nobody says a word to them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and if you do have a boss on that shift though, Usually chill. Yeah, they're cool as fuck. Like now, shit, boss are different, right like Working with a boss who's. It's not even like really working with a boss at all when you get to work with an assistant manager who worked with me at Urban too all the time yeah, when I was on that shift there. So don't place up or now shift. I closed some places but didn't work now shift.
Speaker 3:Closed.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, yeah, you were overnight.
Speaker 3:You didn't work overnight anywhere at one morning, not consistently, but I did it like I think the longest I did it was like a month or two, and then I do like a week or two at a time whenever they needed people. I don't know if they offered over time about working double or some bullshit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know if. If rhino was here, I'm pretty sure he worked. He worked overnight at Walmart. I.
Speaker 3:Think he said something about stocking.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so yeah, I thought he worked overnight. That shit, that shit's different, right that not stocking it, not stocking it. Walmart's like headphones grinding, throwing stuff on shelves. It's like factory work, or how it's my most.
Speaker 3:It's fun though. Yeah, it's cool.
Speaker 1:Well, like I kind of think, when I'm at like, when I'm in a super Walmart and not and I see, like the stockers, I'm like I kind of envy it, like because what I do for a living is I talk to people all Fucking day, right, oh, I do is talk to people. Literally what I do is talk to people.
Speaker 3:To be like efficient that job, you have to reduce the amount of shits and folks that you give and yeah, dude Because like that's just. You know you don't have time for anything else. It's work through as many palaces.
Speaker 1:Most of the employee, the months and shit are not stockers like people who? People who just fucking breaking shit up.
Speaker 3:And really like and I'm sure it's like this everywhere and it always has been, or most places anyway Not shit catches so much shit for a oh, no matter what it is.
Speaker 2:It's always on them.
Speaker 1:It's cuz you're not there Exactly. It's not there to defend yourself.
Speaker 3:Walmart is the world's worst for that. Yeah, it's fucking that. Look at this. I can't believe they stocked it like this.
Speaker 1:Can you?
Speaker 3:believe they left it like this, what the hell. And they work their fucking guts out. They're the hardest worker people to store. They're the ones that do everything.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'd stock shelf three times like stock shelf three times and mop and it's like at two o'clock in the day people be like what's fucked up? Oh, he didn't fucking mop earlier, that's what happened. I mean, I'm probably guilty of doing that myself. A blame it on the midnight person. Like two o'clock in the day I'm like oh no. I, it wasn't me.
Speaker 3:Mike didn't mop. That's what happened I.
Speaker 1:Know the hospitals are the worst for that. Yes that's really the worst right, because they're like people literally blame you for shit. That's like major shit.
Speaker 2:Yeah right, people be mispatients that come in. Yeah, we get orders. We'll get blame because we didn't do it, that orders come to 12 more o'clock there in the day. Yeah, call you lazy how are we supposed to know that was there?
Speaker 1:Yeah, my wife working out shift for a long time Overnight Nurse, yeah, and she was, and that was miserable, because it's the same shit. Like you have a murder, there's emergencies at fucking 3, 30 in the morning.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know, like huge emergency 3 30, usually when it goes in about 30 330 and you know how many doctors you're like 3, 30 in the morning.
Speaker 3:No no.
Speaker 1:There ain't none. They're not there. Which is, I mean? I guess? I don't know, there's probably not gonna.
Speaker 2:You are doctor, I don't know they're there, but you know not really. They'd rather not be doing anything. That's a. You are asking you anything?
Speaker 1:Yeah, and everybody just thinks on that shift that you're just sitting all the time.
Speaker 2:Now I feel like that's when most people try to die. Yeah, the hospital in the morning, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but stuff shouldn't happen to people when there's a million people around taking care of them all day long, mm-hmm, when you're limited staff. Did you ever work overnight with somebody Like in the story was just one, it was just you in at the gas station. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Like and maybe one or two nights like training, maybe if training for a little while that shit sucks when you're trying to smile midnight, because then you got to pretend like you do all this shit really hard all the time. So they don't fuck up me and I looked up my midnight shoes cool.
Speaker 3:So shout out, little man. She was Superal, she worked. But she was also like hey man, you also have to deal with some fucking asshole. Yeah, so you know, you gonna have to it.
Speaker 1:So I was talking to somebody the day about the time before pre-pay, like that was a world that we lived in was you could just get gas, remember that world. That's the best pull up and get gas and you could go in and pay for it. And that was fucking wild, like the concept now to me is crazy that you could just go get, you could just do it and drive-offs were they wasn't calm was minimum. Yeah, it's, it's.
Speaker 3:it's like it didn't happen as much you think it would it came off the tail end of like the price gouging shit. Well, not just that, but you had people that used to pump your gas for you. Oh, right, that's why even a thing yeah there was this brief moment of like we're gonna give you guys.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it turns out. Don't let us be responsible. There's still a gas station right here that does that. Still one the one, awesome, the one in awesome yeah, you call the word awesome to get gas, fucking drive 20 miles if I was going through there. I think you could just hang out at one of the gas stations here and, like I think people would tip you if you just pump their gas you could absolutely make money.
Speaker 1:I'll pump you guys, I'll put your gas for $2. Yeah, I probably do it. Yeah, the second car, do it around here.
Speaker 3:If I saw somebody doing that at the gas station, I would immediately think they were either on drugs or receiving drugs for doing what they were doing.
Speaker 1:So Well, they probably are like I think it's the same thing Somebody's hand yeah, I don't, um, I Can't imagine working at like a 24-hour restaurant, because I remember I think like that'd be the wildest possible Like people, like hospitals, pretty rough, gas stations, pretty fucking weird, but like 24-hour restaurants, the people that eat at 3, 30 in the morning a different breed different people right or partiers.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I guess it's the weekend, though that's a different thing.
Speaker 3:And I've had people come in drunk before and like like right after bar but start cooking breakfast, yeah, and like literally wander into the kitchen and I would have to go. Just dragging them out. Man, like literally, if you don't leave now, I'm gonna have to call and wake up some fucking comp. They're gonna be really mad. Yeah, man, when I was half an hour to get here. It's gonna be, yeah, way more trouble than it's worth.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I have um. So like I Know there's a ton of stories, yeah, but one story particular that I have is so there's this fucking dude that and I still remember like when I see him, because he was definitely on drugs, and like I see him now I know he's sober, like I talked to him, shit. I just don't know if he remembers this happening, but him like Pumped yeah, he was, it was a drive-off right and he fucking pump. I turned the pump on for him and I really shouldn't have because he's fucking sketchy anyway. Like I turned the pump on for him and it ran to like 80 or some shit and and he was, he come in and was he was trashed.
Speaker 1:It was like I only wanted 40. It was like, all right, you poked 80. He was like, well, I wanted, I only wanted 40, I needed to stop on 40. I'm not paying for the other 40. And look, he literally put it in the fucking. It was like a truck in a trailer and he was like you put it in. I was like you gotta pay for the other 40. And he, just the way he reacted to it was so weird, like he stood there forever, he never left, but he wasn't gonna pay for it. So it was just the weirdest situation, like my fucking call my boss and she was on Ambien. So she was like she fucking like stumbled over into the store and was like fucking the super fucked up, like trying to situate everything, like making sure he works out. I don't know if he paid or not, I don't remember if he paid or not.
Speaker 2:And then there's just somebody out there with a siphon getting the gas up with stroke ways in there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and that's a party. You're right. So that's, that's one of the part of yours. But then there was the other ones that came in that were there's people who are her, aren't trashed like. And I remember specific, I remember forever with this guy said it was two dudes and like them, and there was a girl in the car and she didn't come in. I let the guys use the bathroom and shit, and then they come to the county. They both had something and was like uh, he's on his pretty on the counter, I'll get it for you. And he put up on the counter and I was like and I said that's a real friend. And he said, no, a real friend, let you, let you fuck his wife. And I was like what? And then he looked at him with this look like he knew what he was talking about. You know what I mean? Like, fucking, like it. And he was like don't fucking start.
Speaker 3:And I was like that's a conversation they've had.
Speaker 1:Yeah what is the dynamic? What is it like? Is he just trying to fuck his wife over and over? And he just won't let him.
Speaker 3:I've seen some crazy shit. I don't know if I've necessarily told you before, but the gentlemen and the lady arguing but right at four o'clock in the morning my coal miners had just started coming in for breakfast to get their coffee and everything.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Starting to get a little busy. And there's this, you know, real upstanding couple fucking going at it, yelling at each other across the house. You know it's like a 15 foot wide story. Meanwhile you got three people in line and four people in the house, so I literally tell him hey guys, I got customers in here, you got to take it outside. I can't, I can't, fucking deal with it.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:So he leaves. She stays in, still shopping and shit. And I get a customer that comes in. He's like you know, I don't know who pissed this guy off, but he is staring in the window of this building right now and I look out and the dude just standing at the end of his car Just be willed to look on his face, looking straight into the window at me. I'm like great, this is fucking cool. So a couple customers leave, we got one or two more left. The guy comes back inside and I see him out of the corner of my eye and what I thought I saw was his shirt up and he was scratching his stomach. It's just, you know, whatever, just a scummy dude doing this weird thing, whatever. So when I look over and catch more detail, he has an open pocket knife and he's trying to cut his steak.
Speaker 1:What the fuck so I?
Speaker 3:go, dude, stop. I said I'm not going to clean up after you. Go the fuck outside. He goes outside and I go to one of the customers. I was like hey man, this guy's got a knife. If you don't care, please call the cops, because if he sees me go for the phone I don't know what he's going to do. And he just kind of looked at me. He was like man boy. I was like the dude that you came to me and said is staring in the window the guy has a blade.
Speaker 1:He called up a knife.
Speaker 3:I just called the cops for me while I keep him occupied.
Speaker 1:That request was too complicated. Yeah, he didn't call the cops.
Speaker 3:So the guy leaves, the couple leave. I'm just assuming they're going to come back. I'm assuming the cops are going to be of no help. My customer is going to be of no help, so you're going to get stabbed. Yeah, so I think I grabbed like an empty broom handle or something Just sat behind the counter because I was like well, if he comes back, I guess I'll just slap his teeth out before he can get to me my brother fucked the mic up.
Speaker 1:He punched the mic under it. Yeah, I think I've heard that story before, but I don't think I heard it in that detail. Yeah, man.
Speaker 3:So maybe a year or two later, this guy was on bath salts when it happened.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, those were fun times. A year or two later, man, I remember those, not like we didn't remember.
Speaker 3:The cops shot him to death or something up on the hill.
Speaker 1:Oh fuck, okay, yeah, so yeah.
Speaker 3:And that was that night. So eventually the cops did come that morning and we're looking for him and stuff. And it was like a yeah, it was a. Thing.
Speaker 1:Is that the same guy covered himself in peanut butter in the grocery store?
Speaker 3:Probably the same family.
Speaker 1:Man, just in case everybody don't know, there's a story about our hometown that a dude on bath salts broke into the local grocery store, covered himself in peanut butter and like do anything else, right? Just covered himself in peanut butter and like ran around the store.
Speaker 3:He was in the office right when the guy comes in the morning. He sees the grocery store just twirled. I know the cop that arrested the guy. So he, the store is tore off the hail. So the manager goes into his office and there you sit and they could just like.
Speaker 1:that guy probably worked night shifts. Oh see, if you had somebody working night shift, that wouldn't happen, I guess it would have happened. But hey, man, well, that's just, that's my point, that, um people, strange, fucking people come out at night the strangest people come out at night. Right, I know you have, like the fucking, the weirdest stories.
Speaker 2:Hey, it's awful. Yeah we had a cop bring in this one the other night comes in. She's fine, talking to the cop and everything she says. You're gonna take you to jail, cop. This Fakes and start station.
Speaker 1:Oh sure, suddenly she had a seizure. Yeah, take you to jail. Oh, why I'm gonna.
Speaker 2:Break during we could check her out. She's faking all of it, copless pissed.
Speaker 1:Would do the shaker.
Speaker 2:Absolutely.
Speaker 1:We all shook, her and you think I can kind of see she's fine. You should do something like something that would just make her definitely come out of it any other time. Oh, you know what to do milk her mouse like the little finger, you know, squeeze the squeeze. The end of her finger Can't stop that. No, she's. That's the only way to really test the sternum.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, that hurts, me.
Speaker 1:Don't, you can't fake. No, no, that hurts right here. That never talk about that again.
Speaker 3:I'm off that. I almost hit you.
Speaker 1:No, I can't even think about it now. I'm gonna keep my hand over this and say those two words.
Speaker 3:Ever again my presence.

But but he, um, he's hilarious and works. He'll be great for that episode. But I knew he was there with you and fucking and we played. We played magic and we played. Uh, we played like poker every night. Like my brother came by and we played chess like man.
Speaker 1:When they put Arby's in the, the Arby's workers would come in at like 3 am To make biscuits and shit. They're fucking wild. They're fucking wild dude. They'd be trashed. No joke, guy, that's their kid place is on some teams with my son and my daughter in Little League. But he, um, he's coming Arby's like three in the morning and and he was completely trashed and starting the morning shift. Everybody's fucking drunk. That made you, that made your food at Arby's in the morning. So just want everybody know, or stoned, so yeah, um, we weren't doing anything. We did, we done everything and nothing at all.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we're absolutely the reason the stores I Don't want to admit I that, um, I've been in that closet with someone I'm married to. I'm not shift, but I will, yeah, yeah. So that felt like, um, that was common. She was there all the time too. This is fucking hanging out people hanging out in the office, so unsafe. Yeah, yep, yeah, we're, uh, we're like, we are like clerks. When gas station married couple and she hated me though I first started there cuz I was not, she was the fucking midnight guy, she was the morning person that's why she fucking hated me, not started natural enemies the fucking 6 am.

Everybody night shift. So what people are strange? Night shifters work more than you think they do. Night shifters do less than you think they do that's pretty much.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's pretty much what you need to fucking know. Everybody comes out late, hey guys, um, thank y'all for tuning in. Hope you like the lunchy awards, leave your comments and shit you on on Spotify, like that shit and you can review it and leave the comments in there. We want to know how you felt about all those episodes. If you guys like that content, if you like what we're putting out, check us out on Instagram, tiktok, twitter. I guess we're on Twitter, I think, since Elon bought it, um, and he didn't win the awards last week it's fine.
Speaker 3:He's gonna fight for it. Really do it on some boss shit let's do it yeah how hilarious is it that we live in a time where two billionaires were like fuck it, let's fight.
Speaker 1:I'm for it yeah, I just don't think it's gonna happen. It has to happen. I don't think it's going to be a good thing they're both training, they're both posting the social media.
Speaker 3:Everybody's training with like UFC training it's true, you know, fucking.
Speaker 1:Jake Paul said he would, said he would put it on. Jake Paul, one of the Paul, the Paul that promotes boxing said he would put it on right and that they would make all kinds of money. I don't think that's the thing, though. Right, they don't care about the money, no right.
Speaker 3:But I think they're just bored and have ran out of things to do yeah, they're dominant what's just celebrity deathmatch. It was something over like the Twitter and threads thing, right yeah, and it was just like well, so it turned.
Speaker 1:It's weird, like um, it's like the mullet right. It started out as a joke, right and was, and people done it satirically and it got so satirical that it came out the other side and it's real. I think this fight was so satirical and such a joke that it came out the other side, and now it's just real. Yeah, and if meals lane was alive he would a hundred percent have to referee it. Let's get it on man, I'm so excited.
Speaker 3:I don't care if it's paper view, I don't care what amount we're going there should be bet.
Speaker 1:Oh, we fucking will. Yeah, we should do that. We should definitely do a live watch party and we'll watch the celebrity deathmatch fight. It's the boss battle. It's an awesome boss battle in it. Who do you think you got you?
Speaker 3:know honestly, just from honestly man. I think zuckerberg is gonna win. I want you like. I did he's really it's Israel is on your pictures.
Speaker 2:Yeah that's what I seen.
Speaker 3:I was like, oh okay, he's actually out here you might as Elon posting pics like that he's posting pics of him training busy shanked like SpongeBob yeah, well, that was his thing. If from the get go he said he is technically was the walrus right, he's gonna lay on him.
Speaker 1:But I mean, you know, maybe he just see, look, it looks like Zuckerberg bought his body out of stem cells, which is not out of the realm of possibility that he actually bought his book, his body, that he fucking was just like I need to be ripped in 48 hours. Here's $40 billion.
Speaker 1:Captain America, me man, yeah if you don't think you can do anything with money, like if he was like here's $40 billion, make me ripped by next week. But all right, man, here's what you got a fucking day. Here's why I don't think it's real. I don't trust Elon, right? I think Mark would probably do it because he's pretty fucking serious, right?
Speaker 3:he's serious because he's like not really human. He's not serious, he's no idea what he's less.
Speaker 1:He's different than I think. He's like in between a lizard person and a fucking. I thought was okay. Oh yeah, the Zuckerbergs, a daily for sure, but I just don't think he won a lot.
Speaker 3:I don't think he's gonna show if he does, it's gonna be in like some really weird costume or some like really don't you know, I'm saying yeah, yeah, gonna be a robot that shows up for him my proxy, yeah, this is like trial by combat and like and vote somebody else to fight for him.
Speaker 1:Yes, can you pick. Joe Rogan is your champion. What if he fucking chooses Joe Rogan this champion? Oh my god, joe Rogan fighting for Elon and you know what? Not out of the real impossibility I've never experienced anything who you taking that fight Joe Rogan or fucking fucking people up for like 40 years, 100% Rogan.
Speaker 3:I've never seen anything that's more.
Speaker 1:I'd pay to watch Joe Rogan fight somebody we live in a fucking simulation. This can't all be real yeah, if you think about what we're fucking talking about. We're talking about happening is live action, slavery, death match. I just hope when I'm dies. Why don't want that? I don't know, this is terrible, but like this is terrible, but it seems like this is the ultimate winner, I mean yeah so yeah, I'm a loser.
Speaker 1:Well, yeah, if you look at it well, you know again great show. That made it better. I'm so glad we got to talk about that. No, don't be sorry, we've been white. We've been wanting to talk about that forever, just never found time to talk about it people sometimes like driving down the road.
Speaker 3:I'm team Mark, team Zuck man, I like Moscow yeah, if I can give a percentage of my paycheck to him. Make sure we colonize Mars before I die. Just get me off this fucking planet. It's all I care about that being pretty, I'd love.
