Shownotes
This week, the hosts dive into the chaos of their past retail experiences, sharing hilarious and sometimes traumatic stories about their worst jobs. They discuss the outrageous expectations placed on seasonal workers and the lack of proper training in retail environments, particularly highlighting Ashley's memorable (and disastrous) stint in retail during the holiday rush. The conversation takes a humorous turn as they take on the trend of the "Hear Me Out Cake" and talk about their various crushes on fictional characters, ranging from cartoon figures to iconic movie roles. Amid the chaos, the hosts reflect on the stresses of adulting and the ridiculousness of their complaints, bringing lightheartedness to everyday annoyances. Join them for a mix of nostalgia, relatable tales, and plenty of laughter as they navigate the ups and downs of life and friendship.

Nicole:Hell, yeah, dude.
Nicole:Fenting to all your besties?
Nicole:Hell, yeah, dude.
Nicole:Are they a little bit bothered?
Nicole:Hell, yeah, dude.
Ashley:Welcome to a little bit bothered, where we take our feisty little group chat and turn it into your favorite podcast.
Ashley:I'm Ashley.
Monica:I'm Monica.
Monica:And I agree that nothing says adulting quite like complaining about the most random stuff with your friends.
Monica:Right?
Kelsey:I'm Kelsey, and you can count on us to keep it real with hot takes, hilarious stories, and tons of random nonsense.
Kelsey:Nothing is off limits in the group chat.
Nicole:So grab a drink or don't.
Nicole:Oh, I just spilled mine.
Nicole:I'm Nicole, and we're ready to dive into what's got us a little bit bothered this week.
Nicole:And spoiler, it's probably something ridiculous.
Ashley:Okay.
Ashley:Hi, friends.
Nicole:Hi.
Nicole:I literally actually spilled my drink, so.
Ashley:You sound so raspy still.
Ashley:I kind of like it.
Monica:I told her that I messaged her yesterday.
Monica:I was like, you got a cute sexy or cute sick voice.
Ashley:It's like, friends.
Nicole:Yeah, I'm Phoebe.
Ashley:Yeah, you're Phoebe.
Ashley:Friends.
Ashley:It's great.
Ashley:Okay, first topic of the day.
Ashley:So we.
Ashley:Patrick and I were talking about.
Nicole:Sorry.
Ashley:I malfunctioned.
Nicole:Okay.
Ashley:Anyways, okay, so Patrick and I were talking, because right now, stores are all hiring for seasonal jobs, you know, for, like, the holidays and everything.
Ashley:And we were like, we have this car we want to pay off.
Ashley:And so we're like, okay, we just need $11,000.
Ashley:Maybe, you know, Patrick should get, like, a part time job, because I work a pretty normal schedule.
Ashley:I mean, I do travel, but whatever.
Ashley:And so we were talking about that, and it just, like, gave me flashbacks to probably, like, seven years ago, I worked at Kohl's.
Ashley:Well, I took a job at Kohl's, a second job during the holidays.
Ashley:Cause I wanted to make extra money for Christmas.
Ashley:And I.
Ashley:Oh, my gosh.
Ashley:Have you guys ever worked in retail before?
Kelsey:Yes.
Ashley:Yeah.
Ashley:Okay.
Ashley:Yeah.
Ashley:So I took this job at cold.
Nicole:Sorry, I was trying.
Nicole:I was fucking muted.
Nicole:I was trying.
Nicole:What can I.
Ashley:Monica was also mute.
Nicole:So did I.
Nicole:And I was trying to unclick it and want to unclick.
Nicole:So anyway, also, yes, I have worked in retail for.
Nicole:I worked in retail for a long time.
Ashley:Okay.
Ashley:Okay.
Ashley:Yeah.
Ashley:All right.
Ashley:So I took this job at Kohl's, and I went to my first day.
Ashley:They put us through, like, a little orientation, like a video, you know?
Ashley:And then they basically just, like, put us out on the floor.
Ashley:There was, like, ten of us, probably, that were new hires.
Ashley:Because they were hiring for Christmas.
Ashley:It was, like, mid November, late November, whenever I got this job.
Ashley:And so they put us out on the floor, like, no training.
Ashley:Like, I didn't even know who worked there, who didn't work there.
Ashley:Like, I knew nothing about what was happening in the store.
Ashley:And they put me in the men's department, and within the first hour, like, someone came by and was like, you need to pick up the call for the men's department.
Ashley:So I pick up the call, and this lady's asking me if we have something in stock.
Ashley:She's explaining it to me like, I know nothing in the store.
Ashley:It was the worst.
Ashley:It was the worst shift I've ever worked.
Ashley:And I, like, talked myself into going back again because I didn't want to, like, quit after one shift, you know?
Ashley:So I went back the next day, and this is, like, the shittiest Kohl's you've ever seen.
Ashley:Like, this, like, the messiest.
Ashley:It's like a fucking disaster in there.
Ashley:And I'm, like, in some random department again.
Ashley:No one's talking to me.
Ashley:I don't even know what I'm supposed to do.
Ashley:And this old lady starts yelling at me, and she's like, this is embarrassing.
Ashley:You should be ashamed.
Ashley:This store is so unorganized.
Ashley:And I was like, ma'am, I agree with you.
Ashley:I don't know what I'm doing here.
Ashley:Like, I would also, like, she, like, stormed out.
Ashley:And I was like, yeah, I would like to go with you.
Ashley:You know, it was really bad.
Ashley:I was, like, traumatized.
Ashley:Okay.
Ashley:So it was late November, because the next shift I was supposed to work was Black Friday.
Ashley:And I was like, I don't think I can do it.
Ashley:I don't think I'm gonna go in, like, there.
Ashley:Nobody's nice.
Ashley:Like, it was torture.
Ashley:So I just didn't show up for my shift at Kohl's on Black Friday.
Ashley:And what makes it.
Nicole:Oh, you're the worst.
Kelsey:Oh, my God, you're the worst.
Ashley:Basically useless, though, because I didn't know.
Monica:What J dude call out.
Monica:That is it.
Ashley:They set themselves up for so little success.
Ashley:Like.
Ashley:Like, I'm a manager now, you know?
Ashley:And I'm like, I would never put someone in the position I was put in, like, tossed out to the wolves in, like, a shit show of a store, literally.
Ashley:So I call.
Nicole:That's a department store, like, etiquette, because.
Nicole:Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Nicole:I was in retails, but I was in, like, I worked in the mall in, like, smaller stores.
Ashley:Well, yeah, I worked in smaller stores.
Monica:Too, and, like, smaller stores.
Nicole:And we never.
Nicole:Yeah, we never did that to our seasonals.
Nicole:I mean, we didn't teach them everything, but we.
Nicole:They knew enough to get through a shift, you know?
Ashley:Yeah, no, there was no training.
Ashley:And the managers were, like, mean.
Ashley:It was horrible.
Ashley:But the worst part is that we wanted to buy my brother's new xboxes for Christmas that year, and Kohl's had a really good deal on xboxes, so I actually went to the Kohl's that I was supposed to be working at that I called out of to purchase an Xbox on Black Friday.
Ashley:On Black Friday.
Ashley:I don't think anyone recognized me.
Ashley:Nobody ever talked to me.
Ashley:Nobody knew what I did there.
Ashley:I was just a name on a schedule to them, you know?
Ashley:So I was, like, hesitant, should I go in there?
Ashley:Should I drive to a different Kohl's?
Ashley:And I was like, fuck it.
Ashley:So I was a customer on Black Friday at Kohl's when I was supposed to be working.
Nicole:Oh, my God.
Ashley:Worst job I've ever had.
Ashley:I've never quit a job so quick like that, ever.
Kelsey:If they couldn't even recognize you that you were, like, the missing employee, then they didn't.
Kelsey:You were.
Nicole:That's so fucked up.
Nicole:Yeah, that's very fucked up.
Ashley:I just, like, had major flashbacks to that because of, like, all the seasonal hiring and stuff.
Nicole:And, yeah, I actually loved all my retail jobs.
Nicole:They were very fun for me.
Nicole:I worked in.
Nicole:And, well, my first job was a she store, and then I worked in two clothing stores, worked for DKNY, and I worked for Ann Taylor, and I loved them.
Nicole:Like, honestly, if my location of DknY didn't close down when it did, I would probably still be employed by them to this day because I loved them.
Kelsey:I worked at the children's place, and I really liked it too, but they just pay was terrible, so it just was not worth the.
Nicole:Yeah.
Kelsey:Yeah.
Ashley:I worked at Gymboree.
Ashley:I don't know if Jimboree is still around, but I used to work.
Nicole:Oh, I don't know.
Kelsey:I think it is.
Ashley:Yeah.
Ashley:I really liked that job too.
Ashley:I worked there for a long time in the mall.
Monica:I worked at the container store.
Monica:But that was a really fun job.
Monica:That was not my worst job ever.
Monica:That was one of my better jobs.
Monica:Yeah.
Nicole:Actually, surprisingly, none of my retail jobs were my worst job ever.
Kelsey:Yeah.
Nicole:Because I just.
Nicole:Because they're fun, you get to interact with people, and I really obviously like to fucking talk.
Nicole:So, you know, there's that my.
Nicole:I'm a yappa you are a yapper.
Ashley:Yeah.
Ashley:Big retail with all the shirt folding.
Ashley:It's not what.
Ashley:No, actually I worked at a Mervyn's too.
Ashley:I worked.
Ashley:That was my first job ever, was Mervyn's.
Nicole:Oh, my God, I forgot about that.
Ashley:I worked there for a long time.
Kelsey:This was a.
Kelsey:I don't even know what that is.
Ashley:Fundamental issue with this location of Kohl's.
Ashley:It's like a Kohl's.
Ashley: cept they closed down in like: Nicole:Is it an Arizona thing is Mervyn's.
Ashley:Like, I have no idea.
Ashley:They're closed now.
Monica:Maybe they're like.
Kelsey:But it was definitely dead in the water.
Monica:Cool place to get clothes.
Kelsey:Not even a winky dink of a whisper of the.
Monica:West coast thing.
Nicole:Yeah.
Kelsey:I always think that's fascinating things that don't exist in other places.
Monica:That is weird because you don't really realize just how big the United States is.
Monica:They can feel, like different countries, like going from state to state.
Ashley:Yeah.
Ashley:Mervyn's was only in California, Nevada, Arizona and Texas.
Monica:So weird.
Nicole:Oh.
Nicole:Made it to Texas and they went.
Ashley:Out of business some time.
Ashley:Oh, yeah.
Ashley:Before the recession.
Ashley:So whatever.
Nicole: Whatever year that puts us,: Nicole:I think that's what I was thinking.
Ashley:I was still in high school, so.
Monica:Yeah, that was the year I graduated.
Monica:It was really fun graduating, going into.
Kelsey:Say, were you old farts?
Kelsey:But then Monica's like, that was the year I graduated.
Kelsey:I graduated 8th grade that year.
Ashley:Oh, my God.
Monica:Shut up.
Nicole:I think I only four years different.
Ashley:That's not.
Kelsey: Wait, you graduated in: Kelsey:When's your birthday?
Kelsey:It's February, right?
Monica:Yeah.
Ashley:She's from.
Kelsey:Were you a head grade ahead?
Monica:No.
Kelsey:You were born in the 90, right?
Monica:1990, yeah.
Ashley:Oh, you were born in 90.
Kelsey:My brother was born in 90, but he graduated in.
Kelsey:No.
Kelsey:Yeah, no, maybe my brain's fucked up.
Kelsey: No, he graduated in: Kelsey:Never mind.
Kelsey:Carry on.
Nicole:Your brain is absolutely fucked up.
Kelsey:Carry on, carry on.
Nicole:She's like, let me try to fact.
Kelsey:Check you real quick.
Kelsey:I know I was genuinely mind fucked by this.
Kelsey:I was like, Monica.
Kelsey:What?
Kelsey:What?
Monica:No, but you guys make me feel so old.
Monica:And also, um, none of you responded to my midnight existential crisis of finding my first gray hair.
Nicole:Oh, my gosh.
Nicole:I responded to you mentally.
Nicole:I'm sorry.
Kelsey:Sorry.
Kelsey:I separated.
Kelsey:Silence.
Ashley:I don't even remember this happening.
Ashley:I don't even remember this happening.
Ashley:It was last night.
Ashley:I never saw it.
Ashley:I would have responded.
Monica:Monica, this is really unfortunate that it's the middle of the night because I just found my first gray hair, and I am not.
Nicole:Well, I never saw it.
Nicole:I responded to you mentally because my.
Nicole:I got.
Nicole:I was actually Loki jelly that you're 34, and you're just now finding your first gray hair.
Nicole:Because when I turned 30, like, the day after I turned 30, what the fuck did I.
Nicole:My eyes land on in my hair.
Nicole:A nice silver streak that I never knew was there, sparkling, glistening into the fucking sunlight.
Nicole:It's right in my bangs.
Monica:Here's the worst part, is, it was, like, right here in my hairline.
Monica:And I have been eyeing this piece of hair for a while, but I have highlights, and so I just assumed that it was, like, a highlighted little strand until last night, I was, like, looking at it.
Monica:Wait a minute.
Monica:There's no roots that are darker.
Nicole:What the hell?
Monica:So I yanked it out, and I stared at it for a good 15 minutes.
Monica:Like, blonde gray, blonde, gray.
Nicole:Not so fun.
Ashley:Yeah.
Ashley:If it makes you feel better, I've definitely had more than 1 gy hair.
Nicole:At least it's a myth that if you pluck it out, more will grow in its place.
Nicole:So.
Monica:That's true.
Monica:And to be fair, it might not be my first.
Monica:I've been dying my hair forever, so, I mean, who knows?
Monica:But I had.
Monica:I'm standing there with my, like, plantar fasciitis boot, like, my castor oil pack, like, the green face mask, and a freaking gray hair.
Nicole:The whole package, the picture.
Kelsey:We're really, really good at getting off topic.
Kelsey:You know that, right?
Kelsey:We're, like, worst jobs ever.
Kelsey:Somehow we're talking about fucking gray hair.
Nicole:You know what?
Ashley:The group chat is a chaotic place, and therefore, actually, podcast is a chaotic place.
Kelsey:Yeah.
Kelsey:Never expect us to stay in one place.
Nicole:No.
Nicole:Genuinely have nothing to do with bring it back around.
Kelsey:We got to take it all the way around and somehow connect it back.
Kelsey:So how do you make great gray hair connect back to worst jobs ever?
Nicole:Well, actually, I got it.
Kelsey:I was about to say Nicole's was a salon.
Ashley:Yeah.
Nicole:No, it wasn't, but I was gonna say myself and Kelsey were actually.
Nicole:We're cosmetologists, if you guys don't know.
Nicole:So, Kelsey, what was your worst job?
Nicole:Was it a salon?
Kelsey:No, I've only worked for my aunt, so I cannot say that was my job ever.
Kelsey:Before.
Nicole:You became a cosmetologist, what was it?
Kelsey:It was actually after I became a cosmetologist, so when we lived in Hawaii, I worked at a.
Kelsey:You know, it was like one of those.
Kelsey:They have physical therapy, chiropractic.
Kelsey:Like, they have it all in one office, it's like, everything.
Nicole:Yeah.
Kelsey:They had a childcare center in there.
Nicole:Oh, you talked about this before with the breast milk.
Kelsey:Yes.
Kelsey:Yes.
Kelsey:Yeah.
Kelsey:So you could drop off your kid and then go to your appointment.
Kelsey:And so.
Kelsey:But it wasn't.
Kelsey:So.
Kelsey:I was.
Kelsey:I worked in the daycare room, and.
Kelsey:But another subset.
Kelsey:Subset of that job was that you also did the marketing events.
Kelsey:So you did childcare and marketing events, and the childcare part of the job wasn't that bad, other than, like, it was just kind of really disconnected from the rest of the office.
Kelsey:So, like, you really.
Kelsey:And they would say, like, oh, well, you guys could come in here and have lunch with us, but we work, like, half day shifts, so, like, we were getting off at lunch or we were starting at lunch, so there was no reason for us to go eat lunch with the group.
Kelsey:You know what I mean?
Kelsey:Like, it's like, we're done.
Kelsey:We're gonna go home, or we're just getting here.
Kelsey:You know, we don't need to eat with you anyways.
Kelsey:They didn't really understand, like, our, you know, need to feel more connected or whatever, but we did their laundry for them while we watched the kids.
Kelsey:So we did, like, every.
Kelsey:All of the jobs that nobody wanted, those are the ones that we did.
Kelsey:So we did their laundry, we folded it, we took it back, we took care of the kids, and then we went to marketing events where we had to haul all the crap.
Kelsey:It was us, two of us, usually, and then one massage therapist, and we would go and have to talk to people, get them to sign up to sit down for, like, a five minute massage, which is all great and dandy, but at the end of the massage, they expected you to convert them and schedule them to be.
Kelsey:To come in and have an appointment.
Kelsey:So these people are like, oh, yeah, I'll sit and get this free massage.
Kelsey:But then as soon as they're done, you don't.
Kelsey:They don't get to walk away.
Kelsey:You have to snipe in there and be like, okay, so, you know, I know that this massage therapist said that you're, you know, you have, like, this shoulder problem.
Kelsey:So when would you like to.
Kelsey:When can I write you down to come in and, um, get checked out for that?
Kelsey:And you didn't.
Kelsey:You weren't.
Kelsey:You couldn't leave.
Kelsey:Oh, do you want to come in?
Kelsey:Do you want an appointment?
Kelsey:No.
Kelsey:You had to, like, if you did not, like, pressure them, they were not happy, so it was constant, like, I'm so bad at that.
Kelsey:I will never pretend like, that was my strong suit, and it pissed the first marking lady off.
Kelsey:Oh, she did not like me because she was.
Kelsey:Because I'm not going to go out of my way to bully someone to make an appointment that they don't want.
Kelsey:Yeah.
Kelsey:Because that just leads to no shows.
Kelsey:And I'm just like, I'm like, I'm not doing no.
Kelsey:So that would make.
Kelsey:So make them so mad.
Kelsey:And also, like, I'm not gonna, like, walk out of the tent and badger someone into getting a massage.
Ashley:You know what I'm, like, harassing them.
Kelsey:It's not my style.
Kelsey:I can't.
Kelsey:I give mad props to people who just have no shame and they can just really.
Kelsey:But no, so it was, and maybe this doesn't sound that terrible, but, like, it's just we did a lot of jobs for a daycare, you know, for, like, essentially, like, you were hired your primary job as a childcare worker.
Kelsey:So it's just really, like, off the cuff to have to go and do events which were sometimes in the evenings, sometimes they were on weekends.
Kelsey:You didn't get paid any extra for going to these.
Kelsey:You just.
Nicole:Yeah, just like a weird ass shit addition to your job.
Ashley:They're like, nobody wants to do this.
Ashley:Who's gonna do it in the office?
Nicole:Well, anyone.
Kelsey:Exactly.
Kelsey:Like, not that they were mean to us.
Kelsey:There was plenty of them that I like, if they ever listen to this.
Kelsey:There was plenty of them that were very nice.
Kelsey:I liked them, but, like, it just was not, it was not the ideal situation.
Kelsey:And then there.
Monica:Different skill sets.
Kelsey:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kelsey:Totally different.
Kelsey:And I, at the end, this, they hired a new marketing girl, and this bitch was crazy.
Kelsey:I don't care if she hears this because I don't like her.
Kelsey:And I would tell that to her face.
Kelsey:She came in and she was just fucking insane.
Kelsey:Like, she pretended she's.
Kelsey:Honestly, I think, like, she needs to be diagnosed because she came in and she, like, pretended like she wanted to help us.
Kelsey:And she was, like, hearing all of the things that, you know, we kind of, which is not even her job.
Kelsey:She does marketing, but we were just kind of confiding in her because she seemed like she, you know, was listening.
Kelsey:And so then she, like, went and told the owner all of this and, like, kind of spun it in, like, us in a negative light and that she needed to take over the room.
Kelsey:Like, because at that time, one of my friends was the manager and I was, like, the assistant manager.
Kelsey:And so she, like, kind of came in and was like, oh, they, they can't handle this.
Kelsey:Like, basically this marketing lady who has no experience in childcare took over the room and started just, like, making fucking shit up and making rules and, like, I don't know.
Kelsey:And then my last event, I worked, which I wasn't even supposed to work this event, and I did it because there was nobody else.
Kelsey:And I was like, I actually have somewhere to be, so, like, I have to leave at this time.
Kelsey:And she's like, okay, okay, that's fine.
Kelsey:And then it came back to it.
Kelsey:She's like, well, you didn't even try that day.
Kelsey:Like, you stood behind the table the whole day.
Kelsey:And I'm like, there was no.
Kelsey:We were on, like, the very end of the event.
Kelsey:Like, we were kind of, like, off to the side.
Kelsey:And there was another company with the same plan, like, doing the same thing in the middle.
Kelsey:Right in the middle.
Kelsey:So everyone was getting their massages at this other tent because by the time they got to us, they'd already been hit up by the other people.
Kelsey:And so it's like, bro, I don't know what to tell you.
Kelsey:I'm not gonna chase down people.
Kelsey:We're getting fucking massages at the other place.
Kelsey:I don't give a fuck.
Kelsey:Anyways, she was like, though, for you.
Nicole:For you guys to be at the end of there.
Kelsey:Yeah.
Nicole:No, it was like, don't badger me.
Nicole:I already got a massage.
Kelsey:But to, like.
Kelsey:But to, like, come at me and, like, kind of, like, chastise me.
Kelsey:And, I mean, she kind of said it.
Kelsey:She said it to them.
Kelsey:Our manager, who was barely a manager at that point because she stripped us of her job.
Kelsey:She was, like, kind of said it as, like, a threat to me because we were kind of, like, realized what she was doing and started to revolt a little bit.
Kelsey:And she used that as, like, a threat.
Kelsey:And I'm like, you don't gotta threaten me.
Kelsey:I'll just fucking.
Kelsey:We literally all emailed in on the same day and quit except for one girl.
Kelsey:Yeah.
Kelsey:Four of us emailed and quit.
Kelsey:Three of us didn't give notice.
Kelsey:We just quit.
Kelsey:One of them, she.
Kelsey:She wasn't as deep in it, but she didn't want to stay without us, so she gave her notice, and she did stick out the two weeks, but the rest of us quit and left them with one.
Kelsey:Yeah.
Nicole:I mean, that's what happens when you treat your employees like garbage.
Monica:Yeah, it's very true.
Kelsey:Very, very true.
Nicole:Yep.
Nicole:They will leave.
Nicole:They will not stick around.
Kelsey:I think if my friend listens to this, she'll be like, kelsey, you didn't even describe, like, the fold how terrible it was.
Kelsey:It was very bad.
Kelsey:And at the end, it was like we were being even worse.
Kelsey:We were being, like, actually, like, gaslit, I think so.
Kelsey:It's really fucking.
Nicole:That's unfortunate.
Nicole:Yeah.
Ashley:Yeah.
Ashley:That sucks.
Nicole:Yeah.
Monica:It's insane how sometimes jobs can be so, so terrible.
Kelsey:Yeah.
Kelsey:I really actually liked the date when I first started.
Kelsey:I really liked the, like, normal aspect of, like, the daycare.
Kelsey:Like, that was fine, and it was fun, and it was, you know, and there was kids just.
Kelsey:It was a constant changing kids.
Kelsey:So it's not like you were just, like, with the same bad, like, crazy kids all day long, you know, not bad.
Kelsey:But, you know, sometimes they were bad, but you got a change.
Kelsey:You got a cycle of kids.
Kelsey:That part of the job was actually not bad if the rest of the fucking situation hadn't been kind of shitty.
Kelsey:So anyway, yeah, that's my bad management.
Nicole:It's unfortunate when, like, a company actually takes advantage of some of their employees.
Nicole:Like, you were clearly hired on to do a daycare job.
Nicole:There's actually no reason for you to have been the one that went to the event.
Kelsey:Well, they.
Kelsey:That is part of it.
Kelsey:When you got hired, you were.
Kelsey:I mean, you were told of the marketing aspect of it, but it's like.
Ashley:It'S still pretty weird pairing.
Nicole:Yeah, pay somebody, you're gonna have to give them things to do.
Kelsey:So I also had.
Kelsey:I didn't know that I was gonna be, like, forcing people.
Kelsey:And it's one thing to be like, oh, yeah, take a seat.
Kelsey:Have a massage.
Kelsey:Oh, are you interested in an appointment?
Kelsey:No.
Kelsey:It's like, okay, now when.
Kelsey:What day can I schedule you?
Nicole:Yeah, that doesn't feel like it should have been your responsibility, even if you were the one, like, hired to do the marketing events.
Kelsey:Yeah, hire a fucking marketing.
Nicole:It's just even asking, like.
Nicole:Or saying, like, let me book you.
Nicole:That should have been done by, like, I don't know.
Nicole:It would have made more sense, like, the receptionist.
Kelsey:Yeah, it would have made more.
Kelsey:There are people in that organization who would have made more sense to have that be an add on to their job.
Kelsey:Send more massage therapists or send the receptionist or send the, like.
Kelsey:Because there was, like, a marketing girl, but then there was, like, a graphic design girl.
Kelsey:Any of those people would have made more sense than the fucking daycare people who don't even.
Kelsey:They don't get to come to the meetings.
Kelsey:They don't get.
Kelsey:They don't really interact with anything or know the business at all.
Kelsey:Other than the daycare aspect.
Kelsey:There's a.
Kelsey:Everybody in that organization, literally every other single person in the organization, was better equipped to do that job than the daycare girls.
Kelsey:My truck.
Kelsey:My heart's racing.
Kelsey:I'm getting worked up.
Kelsey:Oh, God, I hate this job.
Ashley:You don't work there anymore.
Ashley:It's okay.
Nicole:It's okay.
Nicole:PTSD.
Ashley:Reel it in.
Ashley:Reel it back in.
Nicole:Kelsey.
Kelsey:On that note.
Kelsey:Monica.
Nicole:Hi.
Kelsey:What's your worst job ever?
Monica:Oh, my gosh.
Monica:I was, like, trying to decide.
Nicole:Honestly, I feel like Monica's is gonna be a doozy.
Nicole:I saw some notes.
Nicole:I saw some notes in the notes.
Monica:I agree.
Monica:Yeah.
Monica:I don't know.
Monica:I mean, I.
Monica:Which job to choose from, to be honest.
Nicole:Yikes.
Nicole:Yeah.
Monica:I've had.
Monica:I've had a handful that were just ridiculous or just ridiculous stories.
Monica:I think, though, my worst one, hands down, actually, was when I was a case manager for seriously mentally ill adult.
Monica:And let me be clear.
Monica:It was not the clients that were the problem.
Monica:I mean, they were wild.
Monica:They were, for sure wild, but it was just.
Nicole:But that's what you do, so.
Monica:Yeah, it's just what you do.
Monica:And, like.
Monica:But the stories and just some of the things that we would have to do, because as case managers, you basically were responsible for making sure that your.
Monica:Your case load, which was stupid high, just that they were safe, and, like, if they needed to be hospitalized, you figured that out.
Monica:You made sure that, like.
Monica:Or you tried to keep them from being homeless, and, like, made sure that they were coming in for their appointments and medications and injections and stuff.
Monica:But it's, like, an impossible job because half your caseload is homeless.
Monica:You're, like, driving around Phoenix, like, downtown Phoenix, like, looking for your client.
Ashley:Oh, my God, that's wild.
Monica:And you're, like, driving around because you're, like, they're late for their injection, and, like, they're schizophrenic, and, like, you're like, wait, they're there.
Monica:They're on the street corner.
Monica:Pull over and, like, get in, because we'd have to transport them.
Monica:And, like, it was just.
Monica:It was wild, but, like, the stories I have from that job are just endless, to be perfectly honest.
Monica:But I think the day.
Monica:And I'm not sharing for anyone listening.
Monica:I'm not sharing anything personal.
Monica:Nothing protected health, nothing confidential.
Nicole:We know the HIPAA laws.
Monica:Yes.
Monica:Okay, I'm gonna be very intentionally vague, but I had one client who, for various reasons, was, like, locked out of her apartment, and we were trying to get her moved, and it's just so many details, but they had a cat or a couple of cats.
Monica:And so we had to coordinate with the police department to come so that they could be there with the landlord while we went in.
Monica:And she was allowed to get her pets, right?
Monica:Nothing else?
Monica:Just her pets.
Monica:And when we went in to go get them, she was, like, trying to, like, run around the apartment and gather as much as she could, which I don't blame her for.
Monica:But we're at this point where, like, the PD is like, we gotta go, like, get the cat and get out.
Monica:And the cat is, like, hidden underneath her bed.
Monica:And so I ended up having to, like, crawl under her bed, grab the cat, and, like, shove it into a cat carrier.
Monica:We're like, let's go.
Ashley:Oh, my God.
Monica:And that was the day I walked into the office and went to my boss and was like, this is what I did.
Monica:I will be going home now.
Monica:I need a mental health.
Ashley:She's like, were you scratched the fuck up, too?
Monica:Probably.
Monica:I don't really remember exactly, but it was just, like, one of those things where it's like, my job was to transport you here, not to crawl under your bed and grab your damn cat.
Nicole:Right.
Nicole:You were supposed to be ready on the curb with the damn cat already, not.
Monica:Yeah.
Monica:So that was one.
Monica:But, I mean, we had just, like, so many wild things.
Monica:Like.
Monica:Like, we.
Monica:There were clients who would, like, pee in your car to get attention because they didn't want to go home and be lonely, which is, like, so Sadeena.
Monica:Yeah, but I also don't pee in my car.
Monica:Yeah.
Monica:Or there was one.
Monica:One time I had to go do a home visit for a client that wasn't even mine, so I'd never been there before.
Monica:And it's this older complex.
Monica:So when you go into the courtyard, you have to, like, go up a set of stairs and then go down to get into the courtyard, or you go up to, like, the second floor.
Nicole:Floor.
Monica:But, so, like, once you get into the courtyard, like, you can't get out unless you go to the opposite end of the courtyard and there's another set of stairs.
Monica:But it's like all of the apartment buildings face each other, and I'm, like, walking and looking for this client who I don't know who it is, while everybody is just, like, staring at me as I walk through.
Kelsey:It was.
Nicole:It was probably uncomfy.
Monica:Yeah, it was a little.
Monica:It was a little uncomfy.
Nicole:So something like that.
Monica:Yeah, but that was, like, the daily.
Monica:That was literally what I had to do on a daily basis for these clients.
Monica:And I loved them.
Monica:I miss a lot of them still.
Monica:But no support, very dangerous situations.
Monica:And, like, it just.
Nicole:I was gonna say, like, how sketchy, very scary.
Kelsey:Sounds very strange.
Monica:Very, very well.
Monica:And there's a team.
Monica:They're called the act team.
Monica:And so they have somebody who's on call 24 hours a day.
Monica:Cause their job is to basically, it's, like, the most, like, high risk, intense clients who are on the act team, and they're on a call twenty four seven to, like, reduce phone calls to a crisis.
Monica:But what that means is, if you're on call and it's the middle of the night and you get a crisis call, you have to go out to that client, wherever they're at, to try to de escalate the crisis, which is, like, such an unsafe thing.
Monica:And when I first started and I was on the act team, it was such a dangerous area of town, but fortunately, I was afloat.
Monica:And I told them I would only welco the act team if I didn't have to get put on call.
Monica:But in exchange, I had to drive the doctor around to all the home visits, which was fine, because he was a fantastic doctor.
Monica:He was nice.
Monica:It was a much better deal.
Monica:It was a much better deal.
Monica:But I don't think that most people even realize that that job exists.
Monica:And it's, like, incredibly dangerous, incredibly understaffed, and.
Monica:Oh, the stories.
Monica:So many stories.
Nicole:Yeah.
Nicole:I would not have any.
Kelsey:I'm sure it's a high burnout position.
Monica:Oh, burnout is crazy.
Monica:Crazy high.
Monica:Yeah, crazy high.
Monica:But, you know, it got me through.
Nicole:Grad school, so, like, pros and cons.
Nicole:Pros and cons.
Monica:Yeah.
Monica:Like, the biggest benefit to it was that by the time I finally reached my psychopathology class in grad school, I was already so familiar with it that it was like, whatever, another day.
Monica:Everybody else in class is like, how do you have these all separated?
Monica:I'm like, I write treatment plans freaking all day long, and, like, testify in court.
Monica:I.
Monica:Whatever.
Monica:Like, copy.
Nicole:I'm a pro.
Nicole:I'm pro.
Monica:But I.
Monica:You couldn't pay me enough to go back to that job.
Monica:It was.
Monica:It was so.
Nicole:I feel like you've had the craziest jobs of all of us.
Nicole:I think, like, just with that one job, you.
Monica:That one is definitely.
Monica:That one is definitely the worst.
Monica:The funniest thing is, like, when I got the job, I had no idea what I was actually supposed to do.
Monica:Like, I didn't know what the job was.
Monica:And so when I was leaving, my previous job, and everyone's like, so, like, what does a case manager do?
Monica:And I'm like, I don't know exactly, like, manage the cases.
Monica:Like, I just know that they're smi.
Monica:And, like, I have to help do home visits.
Monica:Like, that's all I know.
Monica:Little did I know that I was, like, the chauffeur and, like, the housing resource person and, like, picking up food boxes and, like, getting them furniture for their new apartment and, like, packing them up and getting them out of their apartment and then bedbugs and, like, literally, like, there was no end to.
Nicole:Oh, you lost me at bedbugs.
Kelsey:You lost me at bed bugs.
Monica:No, I have a real issue with bedbugs, and I will freak the fuck out if I think that there is even a possibility of a bed bug being there.
Nicole:Yeah, that's a.
Nicole:That's a no.
Nicole:That's a hard no for me.
Kelsey:Yeah.
Nicole:Mm mm.
Nicole:Yeah.
Monica:Yeah.
Monica:It's a hard, hard job.
Monica:But I loved my clients.
Monica:Most of them were really awesome.
Nicole:Right.
Nicole:Again, not the clients.
Monica:Just not the client.
Nicole:Circumstances of.
Monica:They're doing the best.
Nicole:Of the job.
Nicole:Not the clients.
Nicole:It's never.
Nicole:It's usually never the clients.
Nicole:Unless you work in retail, then maybe it's the clients.
Monica:That's 100%.
Kelsey:Yeah.
Nicole:Oh, gosh.
Monica:Yeah.
Monica:Wait, who are we?
Ashley:What about you, Nicole?
Ashley:What's your nicole?
Nicole:Oh, me?
Nicole:I don't feel like I can follow that up.
Nicole:No.
Nicole:So I mentioned a little bit before that I used to work for DKNY, and they work.
Monica:They.
Nicole:The store that I worked at, I actually opened the mall that we were in.
Nicole:It was an outlet mall, and our store was like, which I didn't find this out until later.
Nicole:Our store was, like the test store.
Nicole:They opened it in that area to see how well it would do and if they were gonna proceed with opening that.
Nicole:That chain of the company any further in the outlet malls in Arizona and Phoenix area.
Nicole:And so they ended up wanting to continue opening stores, but our location specifically just didn't do very well because the area that we were in.
Nicole:So they ended up closing us down two years later, and they were like, honestly, we were actually shocked that you guys made it two years.
Nicole:And all of us were like, excuse me, what?
Nicole:Like, what do you mean?
Nicole:Because we really.
Nicole:I really, really loved my job there.
Nicole:I got to see the store from opening, and I worked my way up to management, and then I actually got to be the closing manager to close the whole entire store down, to pack it up and send it away, and it was like, a weird, like, full circle moment.
Nicole:And after that, I did not know what to do with myself.
Nicole:Like, I was applying at other places in the mall.
Nicole:I was trying to find something, and nowhere was really hiring because that mall was kind of going downhill, but it was what was closest to me, and, you know, it was just like a weird time.
Nicole:So my neighbors at the time were older than my husband and I, and they had just sold a business, and the business was like a third party dmv type thing, and the guy that they sold it to needed help at that location.
Nicole:So my neighbor came, came with me, and she was like, let me introduce you to him.
Nicole:He's amazing.
Nicole:Blah, blah, blah.
Nicole:I think, you know, you would work well here.
Nicole:Yada, yada.
Nicole:And I'm like, okay.
Nicole:So her and I go into the office, and I meet him, and he's like, great.
Nicole:Do you have any experience with, like, you know, clerical work?
Nicole:And I'm like, well, not really, but I was in management in retail, and so, like, I know how to do reports and, like, things like that.
Nicole:Like, I can pick it up, like, whatever.
Nicole:And so it wasn't like, the actual what the job entailed.
Nicole:That was pretty easy.
Nicole:Although I did have to do, like, you know, pretty extensive training because it's all government.
Nicole:Even though it's a third party, you're still a contract, like, contractor of the government.
Nicole:So I had to learn how to do licensing, and I had to learn how to do all the documents, and I had to be a notary and, like, all these things, and it was fine.
Ashley:But the, like, already sounds terrible to me.
Nicole:It wasn't that bad.
Nicole:It was actually, like, interest.
Nicole:Like, I can understand when you go into a DMV, like a state DMV, not a third party.
Nicole:And they're really, really busy and the lines are really long, and nobody has, like, the paperwork that they're supposed to have with them, you know?
Nicole:Like, I can understand how those people get overwhelmed and they.
Nicole:That's why they don't ever look happy to be doing their job.
Nicole:Like, I get why now that I've been in that position, my location, though, because it was third party, it was a lot less busy.
Nicole:Like, it was nowhere as severely busy as a regular DMV, you would be still the same work, though.
Nicole:And I was, like, 22, I think, so I was fairly young, and I was, like, doing this job that in my mind I was like, oh, this is like a big girl job.
Nicole:Like, this is very, like, nine to five.
Nicole:This is very office job.
Nicole:Like, you know, something I've never done before.
Nicole:It was kind of a more professional setting, and I was like, I'm not a professional, but thank goodness it was in my area that I lived.
Nicole:So actually, like, I knew the demographic of people.
Nicole:I was comfortable.
Nicole:So it wasn't really the workload.
Nicole:Wasn't really the people either.
Nicole:My boss, though, this man has been doing this work at this point for probably 30 years.
Nicole:Like, now that we're recording, he's probably been doing this line of work for 30 years.
Nicole:Okay.
Nicole:At that time, this is, like, literally ten, almost ten years ago, so still good.
Nicole:20 years under his belt, maybe more.
Nicole:Then, I don't know.
Nicole:This motherfucker would leave me alone to where I was the only person in the office.
Nicole:I would have to open the store.
Nicole:I'd have to be there all day by myself doing transactions that, like, were government official.
Nicole:And if you mess it up, they can try to come after you for, like, fraud.
Nicole:And I was constantly, like, anxious that somebody was gonna come in with, like, a stolen vehicle on their thing and I was gonna have to call the cops on them or something.
Nicole:Like, there's all these things that you don't think about that, like, people would have to do in that situation.
Nicole:And I did have a stolen vehicle report come up on a title one time, and I didn't know what to do.
Nicole:And guess who was not there?
Nicole:My fucking boss.
Nicole:He wasn't there.
Nicole:So I was like, I had to go in the back, call him, and be like, what do I do?
Nicole:I've never seen this before.
Nicole:How do I handle this?
Nicole:And he's like, okay, you need to call the police.
Nicole:And I'm like, what do you mean I need to call the police?
Nicole:Like, I had no idea that that was gonna be a requirement.
Nicole:And he's like, you need to call the police.
Nicole:You need to give them the ViN number.
Nicole:You need to see if it's actually stolen or if this is old, because, like, even if it's old and it's been solved already, it'll still show up in their system.
Nicole:So I'm like, oh, my God, you got me all stressed out for, like, the possibility of that.
Nicole:It could be no freaking big deal, but okay, more extra work that I have to do things.
Nicole:And again, I'm the only one in the office.
Nicole:So now I'm just leaving these people out there.
Nicole:Just leaving them out there.
Nicole:Nobody else is in the office.
Nicole:They could be, like, they literally jump over the counter and start rummaging through stuff.
Nicole:I don't know.
Nicole:You know what I mean?
Nicole:Like, he was a grown ass man and I was 22 year old little female, and he put me in situations where, like, I probably shouldn't have been in and I should not have been in a new, brand new job that was government contracted by myself every day.
Nicole:Like, are you serious, bro?
Nicole:And I would constantly, like, I literally made it 90 days.
Nicole:On day 90, he called the store to be like, oh, you're on your 90th day.
Nicole:Let's get you hooked up with insurance.
Nicole:And I said, let's not.
Nicole:I quit.
Nicole:I'm not doing this anymore.
Nicole:I'm not going to be here every day by myself.
Nicole:Stressed.
Nicole:Like, I had never had panic attacks about going into work before then.
Nicole:And during that three months, I would literally, like, Sunday scaries.
Nicole:Didn't know them before that, Sunday scaries.
Nicole:While I was doing that job, I would literally have, like, a pet.
Nicole:Like, I would dread.
Nicole:I would have panic attacks.
Nicole:I would, like, go in and I would be like, I pray that nobody comes in today.
Nicole:And I can just, like, chill because.
Nicole:Or, like, if I have to do things, hopefully it's very simple and, you know, easy things that I'm okay doing.
Nicole:And I.
Nicole:It was just thank goodness that we didn't actually do, like, the driver's test because I would have been.
Nicole:I would have quit a long, you know, way before I did.
Nicole:But, um, he, we couldn't, we literally couldn't do driver's tests because I would have had to close down the entire store if that were the case, if I had to get in the vehicle with somebody because he was never fucking there because he had, like, a bunch of other stores and they were busy.
Nicole:They were well established, so he would go there.
Nicole:But I'm like, you have well established stores with full staff.
Nicole:You should be at this one that's not established yet.
Nicole:You, the owner and operator and manager of all these stores, should be at this one where it's not established, where you have a brand new person who's never done this line of work before, sitting in charge of this entire fucking operation.
Ashley:Yeah, that's terrible.
Nicole:In it, I'm like, oh, yeah.
Nicole:I was like, this is, like, a responsibility that I should not have unsupervised.
Nicole:Like, I'm cool with doing all the things because even when he was there, I would still do all the things, but he would be there, so it would be, like, a little bit less stress.
Nicole:Yeah.
Nicole:Like, if it got busy, there was a line.
Nicole:On the rare occasion that there was a line or whatever, you know, I didn't feel as overwhelmed or as, like, nervous because he was right there.
Nicole:I could be like, hey, help.
Nicole:Or if I had come across something I'd never done before, he was right there.
Nicole:I could be like, what the heck does this mean?
Nicole:Like, what do I.
Nicole:What is this screen?
Nicole:I didn't have to tell because it's also kind of, like, low key, embarrassing to be like, hold, please, client.
Nicole:I need to call my manager because I don't know what the fuck I'm doing because I've never experienced this before, you know, so awkward.
Nicole:I'm like, I'm so sorry.
Ashley:Like, my car even registered.
Nicole:Yeah, like, I don't know.
Nicole:Or, like, the confusion to, like, one thing that's really actually confusing, at least for Arizona.
Nicole:I don't know how it is for other states, is, like, transferring titles from other states to Arizona.
Nicole:Very confusing because there's a lot that goes into it.
Nicole:And I.
Nicole:Even though I knew what I was doing, I would still, like, low key panic because I'm like, what if I fucking did something wrong?
Nicole:And I have to literally send these, like, every week we have to send out these things.
Nicole:What if I.
Nicole:My signature is on the paper and they're like, you did this wrong.
Nicole:Like, you're.
Nicole:I was just in fear of, like, being held accountable for something that I didn't even know that I was doing wrong because nobody was there to tell me otherwise.
Nicole:Or, like, something about fraud or, you know, like, I was nervous, constantly sweating.
Monica:It's just like, always, like, it's like high school.
Nicole:I hated it.
Monica:I remember feeling that way when I worked at bank of America, where it was just like, this is people's money.
Nicole:Yes, exactly.
Nicole:Exactly the same.
Nicole:Like, this is people.
Nicole:People's property.
Nicole:Like, some of these things are people's livelihoods.
Nicole:It just was, like, constant state of anxiety.
Monica:And I'm so glad her state of anxiety right now.
Nicole:I am reliving, like, Kelsey was.
Nicole:I'm reliving it and the anxieties coming back, literally traumatized from that job.
Nicole:But, like, I quit that job without even having a plan.
Nicole:I just quit.
Nicole:I was like, I can't do it anymore.
Ashley:Some things just aren't worth it.
Ashley:It's just sometimes it's just not worth it.
Nicole:And I was nice.
Nicole:I gave.
Nicole:I did actually give him my two weeks.
Nicole:I should have just like, I'm leaving.
Nicole:Goodbye.
Nicole:But I gave him my two weeks.
Monica:That sounds like a terrible job.
Nicole:Yeah.
Nicole:And he was like, why are you leaving?
Nicole:I was like, honestly, it's not.
Nicole:I was like, it's not the job.
Nicole:And it's not the office, and it's actually not you, because I like you, but I wish you were here.
Nicole:If you could hire somebody else to be with me in the office, like, where it's not just all put on me or something, then, then maybe it would be different, you know?
Nicole:But it was like, literally everything came down on me, and I was like.
Ashley:I don't like that.
Nicole:It was too much pressure in a field that I was so unfamiliar with.
Nicole:Retail, like, somewhere where I was really.
Nicole:I was trying to be freaking store manager before we closed down.
Nicole:Like, I was gunning for that position.
Nicole:That's what I wanted.
Nicole:I wanted to stay with Dkny.
Monica:Yeah.
Nicole:And I ended up in the fucking DMV, and I was basically the manager of the fucking DMV.
Nicole:I did not want to be there.
Nicole:Did not want to do that.
Kelsey:The guy was like, you said you had manager experience take over, literally, and you're like.
Nicole:That'S literally what happened.
Nicole:He was like, oh, managerial experience, great, okay.
Nicole:And I was like, no, that's not what I meant.
Monica:Yeah, he probably read that and was like, oh, good, she'll be fine by herself piece.
Nicole:Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
Nicole:You know, I definitely, probably would have been fine by myself maybe six months in where I was, like, more comfortable and whatever, and I probably six months in, would have wanted that position, because that's just how I am.
Nicole:Like, but even still, a safety perspective.
Monica:It'S just good because people can come in with their stolen cars and whatever.
Nicole:And get real pissed off, like, exactly.
Nicole:And that's.
Nicole:That was another thing I was always afraid of, too, because I'm like, I don't know these.
Nicole:What these people are thinking.
Kelsey:And, you know, honestly, any job, especially any job where you work with the public, it should be illegal to be alone.
Kelsey:Like, yeah, any job where you interact with public coming in and out, it should be illegal to work alone.
Nicole:And that was the thing, like, where you're.
Monica:You're working with, like, government documents and stuff, because there needs to be, like, oversight, you know?
Nicole:Well, yeah, and, and he.
Nicole:His thing was like, oh, we have cameras.
Nicole:I can see what you're doing.
Nicole:I'm like, yeah, that's great, but, okay, fine, good, whatever.
Nicole:But, like, I was so used to nothing in my murder, right?
Kelsey:I was, your cameras do nothing to.
Nicole:Save me from murder to having somebody, like, even as a manager, which I was, like, a lower end manager for DK.
Nicole:I'm not gonna say that I was, like, up there, but I was still a super in a supervisor position.
Nicole:I always had an associate with me, I always had somebody with me.
Nicole:That was the, the law.
Nicole:You actually had to have somebody, you know, the law, per the.
Nicole:Per the company, they did not want you alone because that's when theft happens.
Nicole:That's when, like, it was to save them for sure.
Nicole:But it was a little bit on your safety as well.
Nicole:Yeah, but I used to think about that all the time.
Nicole:I'm like, what if somebody comes in here, you know, and you want to rob the place?
Nicole:Here, I'm giving you the money.
Nicole:I don't care.
Nicole:You can have it.
Nicole:Just don't shoot me, please.
Nicole:Like, because that's, that's what I was scared of.
Nicole:And so that added onto the anxiety, too.
Nicole:And I'm like, people already hate going to the DMV.
Nicole:Yeah, people already hate going to DMV.
Nicole:I don't know what I'm doing, really.
Nicole:I got it figured out, kind of, but I'm not really that confident.
Nicole:And so it just.
Nicole:And I'm alone.
Nicole:People see a young girl alone and that is just like, opportunity in most people's eyes.
Nicole:So it was scary.
Nicole:At the end of the day, it was actually quite scary.
Nicole:I do have PTSD from it, actually.
Nicole:I think.
Nicole:Well, you know, I do have PTSD from that, but I'm so glad I don't have to worry about that anymore, actually, because I just stay home with my kids now.
Kelsey:So, you know, I was about to say, I don't want a big girl job.
Kelsey:I'll just.
Nicole:I don't.
Nicole:I don't want to be girl job either.
Nicole:I really don't.
Monica:Real big girl job.
Nicole:I was thinking about that the other day.
Nicole:I'm like, what am I gonna do when both my kids are in school?
Nicole:Like, the podcast better take off because.
Monica:I don't want to be.
Kelsey:Honestly, if you guys could start sharing this a little more, that'd be real fucking great.
Ashley:So that we really have to have big girl jobs.
Nicole:Yeah, we don't want to be.
Nicole:We don't want to be big girls.
Nicole:We can be yappers.
Nicole:We're yappers.
Nicole:Okay.
Kelsey:We'll make sure and give you some sort of like, og like award or something.
Nicole:You will reap the whatever rewards we get.
Nicole:Okay.
Kelsey:We'll share your time.
Nicole:It'll be worth your while.
Kelsey:Help us so we don't have to work a big girl job.
Kelsey:If I ever get really rich, is it like, frowned upon for me to just hire you as my full time therapist and you just don't have to have another job?
Kelsey:You just be on my, like, just like, on her payroll.
Nicole:It probably is frowned upon.
Monica:Yeah, that would be called a dual relationship.
Kelsey:Can we get cloning started?
Monica:So far, however we could be, we could just be best friends.
Kelsey:I know, but I was trying to think of a way to pay you.
Nicole:Wait a second.
Kelsey:Hold on.
Nicole:If Monica's gonna get paid to be your best friend, I also want to.
Monica:Come like a wanna cat shows up under my pillow.
Nicole:I mean, yeah, we all better get that same treatment, though, if she gets a lot of, like.
Nicole:Yeah, I'm finding you.
Kelsey:Well, it depends how rich I am.
Kelsey:Just hold on.
Ashley:We're about to see who the best friends really are when Kelsey only has.
Kelsey:Money to pay one of us services to offer.
Kelsey:What are you gonna give me?
Ashley:Everybody has services to offer.
Nicole:What do you want?
Nicole:No, I'm kidding.
Kelsey:I regretted asking as soon as I asked.
Nicole:As the words came out, she had regretted.
Nicole:Oh, this happened last time, didn't it?
Nicole:Oh, God, we gotta stop anyway.
Monica:Okay, quick question.
Monica:Have you guys.
Monica:Have you guys caught on to the trend of the hear me out videos?
Monica:Yes, on Instagram.
Monica:I think TikTok probably too.
Nicole:But, you know, it's so funny.
Nicole:We had this conversation.
Nicole:We had this conversation, like, weeks ago before.
Monica:I know.
Monica:I freaking love it.
Monica:The timing of it is amazing.
Monica:Okay.
Kelsey:It is hilarious.
Kelsey:We've kind of been talking about, like, off the cuff.
Kelsey:Like, that was like, we spent whole one night at the cabin just, like, talking about random people that we were.
Kelsey:Had crushes on.
Ashley:Yeah.
Kelsey:Like, from movies.
Nicole:That really cabin.
Nicole:Because I was like, hear me out, Charlie.

Monica:The list is long, but.
Nicole:Okay, so you guys, we already know.
Monica:Yeah, hear me out trend, if you guys haven't seen it, is where it's, like, a group of friends and they've got, like, their cake, and then they have to stick a picture of their hear me out person that they think is hot.

Monica:And dad.
Nicole:Daddy, Charlie.
Monica:Yeah, we already know they've made the cake dead center.

Monica:Snape.
Nicole:Yes.
Kelsey:Yes.

Kelsey:He could absolutely get it.
Kelsey:For sure.
Nicole:I'm trying.
Nicole:I'm actually going through our group chat right now, and I'm trying to find that conversation because all of mine were old men.
Ashley:They were all old men.
Nicole:Do you even remember who I said?
Nicole:I know one of them.
Monica:I was trying to think of some today, and I could only come up with cartoony characters.
Nicole:Oh, my.
Monica:Yes.
Ashley:Who did you come up with?
Ashley:Monica?
Ashley:Please do tell.
Monica:Okay, so what?
Monica:They're animals too.
Monica:It makes it weird.
Monica:Mufasa.
Monica:Mufasa.
Nicole:Yeah.
Nicole:Okay, so a bad boy.
Ashley:Oh, I'm thinking scar.
Ashley:Sorry, you said that?
Ashley:And I was like, scar?
Ashley:Really?
Ashley:Wow.
Kelsey:Shocking.
Kelsey:Daddy.
Ashley:She's not opposed.
Nicole:I also am not opposed.
Ashley:Not opposed to the bad boy lion.
Ashley:Okay.
Monica:The other one.
Ashley:Wow, Mufasa with such short camera time.
Kelsey:Okay, if you say King fucking Triton.
Nicole:No, I was gonna say King Triton.
Kelsey:Yeah, but I don't know about Baloo.
Nicole:I don't know.
Monica:I was, like, looking through pictures.
Monica:I was like, he might make the cut.
Nicole:Oh, my God.
Nicole:I have a cartoon one.
Nicole:I have a cartoon one.
Ashley:Who is it?
Monica:Who?
Nicole:Chief.
Nicole:Chief Bogo from Zootopia.
Ashley:Is that the lion?
Nicole:No, bitch, that's.
Ashley:I don't know who that is.
Nicole:That's the police chief.
Nicole:He's a buffalo.
Kelsey:Oh, my.
Ashley:Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Ashley:A buffalo.
Nicole:I think he's a buffalo.
Nicole:Bison or.
Nicole:I think he's a buffalo.
Nicole:I don't.
Kelsey:Is he a buffalo?
Ashley:No, bitch.
Nicole:No, bitch.
Kelsey:What is he doesn't even know.
Kelsey:He's like a.
Kelsey:Is he like a longhorn sheep or something around him?
Kelsey:That's not a buffalo.
Kelsey:Buffalo.
Kelsey:That ain't a buffalo.
Nicole:Yes, it is.
Nicole:Maybe he's an.
Kelsey:I don't have curly horns like that.
Ashley:Oh, it sounds like a long horn?
Monica:Is it a ram?
Kelsey:That's what I'm saying.
Kelsey:He looks like a longhorn with his big old curly, curly horns.
Kelsey:Oh, he's a cape.
Kelsey:It says he's a cape buffalo.
Kelsey:But fuck me running, I ain't seen a cape like that.
Nicole:He beat low.
Nicole:And maybe the reason why I have a crush on him is because he's played by Idris Alba.
Monica:I don't know, but isn't that Charles from the office?
Nicole:Idris Alba, actually.
Ashley:Charles?
Ashley:Charles?
Monica:Yeah.
Monica:Oh, the one that Michael hates.
Ashley:Is that.
Ashley:No, I don't think that's Idris Elba.
Ashley:Is it?
Ashley:I think it is.
Nicole:He.
Nicole:I don't even have to say, hear me out with Idris Elba.
Ashley:But he's gonna get his Idris Elba.
Ashley:You're right.
Nicole:He's gonna get his own cake.
Nicole:He's gonna get his own cake.
Kelsey:Oh, I was thinking when you.
Ashley:That's not a hear me out interest.
Kelsey:And I was like, isn't he a lion?
Kelsey:It was mayor.
Kelsey:The mayor.
Kelsey:I think the mayor is more attractive than chief.
Nicole:I think that's who now the mayor.
Nicole:Get out.
Nicole:Is no chief Bogo all the way.
Kelsey:I have one like, it's Wade.
Kelsey:Wade from Elemental.
Nicole:From elemental.
Kelsey:Yeah, I like him.
Nicole:I can see that.
Nicole:Okay, wait, let me try to think.
Ashley:I feel like there's.
Ashley:There's some.
Ashley:There's something wrong with all of us.
Ashley:Everyone on this trend with these characters and animals.
Monica:Not all of them are supposed to be cartoon characters.
Monica:I mean, a lot of them.
Ashley:Well, if I had to give one, it would have been Shia LaBeouf from even Stevens.
Kelsey:But, like, real people aren't necessarily, like, not that hard to believe.
Kelsey:Like, everyone is objectively attractive to somebody, whereas, like, a cartoon character is a little more like, okay, hear me out.
Kelsey:There's very few people, you know, except for, like, major villains, that it's like, okay, hear me out.
Kelsey:You know?
Nicole:Right.
Kelsey:Like, if somebody.
Kelsey:If a dude came on here was like, okay, Professor Umbridge, hear me out.
Kelsey:I'd be like, okay, you're unwell.
Nicole:Yeah, no, well, sorry.
Nicole:Just hear me out.
Ashley:Clearly attractive or good looking.
Kelsey:Yeah.
Ashley:And then, like, more.
Kelsey:Yeah.
Kelsey:Most of the people I would say are, like, obviously, clearly attractive.
Kelsey:So it's not like, okay, hear me out.
Kelsey:Like, obviously, you know, can I pet that dog with Jacob Black?
Kelsey:Like, can I pet that dog?
Kelsey:I don't think anybody needs to say, hear me out.
Ashley:No, no one has to say hear me out to that one.
Ashley:Okay.
Ashley:When I googled it when I was looking up characters, I was like, God, I need to come up with somebody, and I couldn't think of anyone.
Ashley:The one that came up that made me laugh so hard was the.
Ashley:It was a Lego character from the Lego.
Nicole:The Batman.
Nicole:Lego one.
Ashley:It was a Joker from the Lego movie.
Nicole:I mean, okay, but like, real, actual Joker.
Nicole:Hear me out on the actual joker.
Nicole:Heath ledger version.
Monica:Oh, Heath ledger.
Ashley:Well, yes.
Kelsey:I don't think you need to hear.
Ashley:Anything less of a hear me out.
Nicole:Hear me out because he's clearly mentally ill.
Nicole:That's the problem.
Nicole:It doesn't have anything to do with his looks.
Nicole:He's a psychopath.
Ashley:The ladybug from a bug's life.
Nicole:No, stop.
Kelsey:He does have the blue.
Ashley:The blue m and m.
Ashley:We have the blue m and mh.
Nicole:No.
Monica:The other two I came up with was Ralph from wreck it Ralph and the dude from Tangled, but I can't think.
Kelsey:Oh, Flynn rider.
Kelsey:Oh, my gosh.
Nicole:Yes.
Nicole:Lynn could get it.
Kelsey:Could get it.
Nicole:Honestly, Maui.
Nicole:Maui could get it.
Nicole:But again, he's also voiced by the rock, which is my type.
Kelsey:I know this was an unpopular opinion with you guys, but, um, shrek.
Kelsey:Shrek could get it.
Ashley:Oh, my God.
Ashley:That's a definite.
Monica: Yeah, that was like a: Monica:conversation between Kelsey and I.
Monica:I'm like.
Kelsey:What the Kelsey, he has, he's sarcastic and funny and he's, wait, that's why.
Ashley:Kelsey needs a therapist on the payroll.
Kelsey:There's a lot of reasons I do that.
Nicole:There.
Monica:We're gonna unpack that one.
Kelsey:I saw somebody put Shrek on the hear me out cake, so I know I'm not alone.
Ashley:That's fucking weird.
Monica:Personality.
Monica:Okay.
Nicole:Yeah.
Ashley:You, out.
Nicole:Yeah.
Kelsey:Listen, I am a personality person.
Kelsey:Like, I would be great for love is blind, because if I fell in love with your personality, it wouldn't matter.
Kelsey:Like, you could be freaking Quasimodo and I'd be fine.
Nicole:I was gonna say hear me out, Quasimodo.
Nicole:You said that actually was gonna say that because he is, like, such a kind little soul.
Monica:Actually is another Disney movie I have not seen.
Nicole:Are you kidding me?
Monica:I know that one.
Monica:And then what was the other one I recently watched that you guys came up for?
Monica:Oh, Hercules.
Nicole:Yeah.
Nicole:Oh, Hercules.
Nicole:Hear me out.
Monica:Never saw.
Monica:Okay, no, no, no.
Ashley:Hades.
Kelsey:Hades.
Nicole:Wait, I was gonna say Hades.
Nicole:Hades.
Nicole:Hades.
Kelsey:This probably isn't a hear me out, but he is a cartoon character, so it's kind of a hear me out.
Kelsey:The guy from Anastasia, the, you know.
Nicole:Wait, give me a second.
Nicole:Me tree.
Nicole:Oh, my gosh.
Nicole:Not a hear me out absolute Dimitri could get it.
Kelsey:Mm hmm.
Kelsey:I feel like any cartoon characters kind of look a little bit.
Kelsey:Hear me out.
Nicole:But yeah, cuz it's not a real person, but whatever, who cares?
Nicole:I don't care.
Kelsey:The bee, I think.
Nicole:No, that's.
Ashley:Oh, I saw that too.
Nicole:That's fucking diabolical.
Nicole:I know.
Kelsey:He's so nice.
Kelsey:He's so.
Nicole:I don't care.
Nicole:I'm.
Nicole:Isn't that like Seinfeld's voice?
Kelsey:I can't know.
Kelsey:Just ruined it.
Kelsey:You just ruined it.
Kelsey:I just vocalized that was one of.
Monica:My problems as I was, like, going through this.
Kelsey:Don't look at the actors.
Nicole:Yeah.
Monica:Like, I would think about it, like, maybe.
Monica:And then I would remember who played them.
Nicole:And I'm like, see?
Kelsey:I wouldn't.
Kelsey:Yep, yep.
Nicole:And I have a hard time with this trend because, like, I watch a lot of my kids shows, so, like, spirit really fucks me up.
Nicole:I can't because that's my daughter's favorite.
Nicole:She loves spirit.
Nicole:Like, obsessed with spirit.
Nicole:Obsessed with horses.
Nicole:So I did come across the hear me out video, and the girl put the fucking picture of spirit in the cake, and I was like, now, now, this is crossing a line.
Nicole:I can't.
Nicole:I just can't.
Kelsey:Okay.
Kelsey:I have a weird one for you.
Kelsey:I actually have a weird one for you.
Nicole:Okay.
Kelsey:I can't think of his name.
Kelsey:So the grandpa from Coco.
Nicole:Oh, um.
Kelsey:Hector.
Kelsey:Hector.
Nicole:Hector.
Nicole:Okay.
Nicole:I'm actually.
Nicole:I am for it.
Nicole:I will hear you out on this.
Nicole:I will.
Nicole:Absolutely.
Ashley:I'm unfamiliar with.
Nicole:Wait, hold on.
Nicole:Dead Hector.
Nicole:I'm for it.
Nicole:I'm for it.
Nicole:I'm for dead Hector.
Kelsey:Yes.
Kelsey:I will rattle dead Hector's bones.
Nicole:I'm for dead Hector.
Ashley:Oh, wow.
Nicole:Hear me out.
Nicole:Hear me out, hear me out.
Ashley:I just.
Ashley:I don't know about this trend.
Kelsey:Hold on.
Nicole:Hear me out, Voldemort.
Ashley:I really don't.
Kelsey:You.
Ashley:I'm.
Ashley:Yeah, I'm starting to question.
Nicole:Kelsey heard me.
Kelsey:Baldi in the black.
Kelsey:Baldi in the black suit.
Kelsey:Yes, yes.
Nicole:Voldemort.
Nicole:Yes, yes, yes, Daddy Voldy.
Nicole:Yes.
Kelsey:In the black suit in the train station.
Kelsey:Yes, yes, yes.
Nicole:Kelsey.
Nicole:Kelsey was the only one that heard me.
Nicole:I said, hear me out, Voldemort.
Nicole:And Kelsey was the only fucking heard me.
Kelsey:Yes.
Monica:Wait, with or without.
Kelsey:I don't care suit.
Nicole:Not Tom Riddle, bitch.
Kelsey:Voldemort in the black suit.
Nicole:Yes.
Nicole:That d.
Nicole:No.
Nicole:Yes.
Kelsey:Valdemore black.
Kelsey:You could get it.
Monica:Yeah, no, I know what image you're talking about.
Kelsey:Well, you got.
Kelsey:We're gonna have to picture it again because.
Nicole:Yeah, we'll put it up on the screen.
Kelsey:Look at that.
Kelsey:Look at that.
Kelsey:Yeah, he could get it.
Nicole:He could absolutely get it.
Nicole:Oh, yeah.
Kelsey:You know freakin's wrong with you guys.
Nicole:Oh, he could get it.
Monica:There is something divided.
Nicole:There absolutely is something wrong.
Monica:No, that.
Kelsey:No, I read a lot of dark books.
Monica:I know, but.
Kelsey:That if I could do fictional characters from books and you would know what I was talking about.
Monica:You know, here's the thing with Voldemort.
Monica:Aside from just like the horrendous character that he is, right.
Monica:When you see his long grown out.
Kelsey:Nails, like, yeah, wrap those around my throat, baby.
Nicole:We match, bitch.
Nicole:We match.
Nicole:We can strangle each other with our long nails.
Nicole:I'm good, I'm good.
Nicole:No pet peeve.
Monica:When it's like long nails and all grainy and like.
Nicole:Well, he's a villain, so.
Nicole:I mean, come on.
Kelsey:On a nicer front.
Kelsey:Blue blues dad.
Nicole:Yes.
Nicole:Oh, my God.
Nicole:Bandit.
Kelsey:Bandit.
Kelsey:Bandit could get it.
Nicole:Bandicoot.
Kelsey:Also maybe sully.
Kelsey:I.
Kelsey:I'm a little on the fence about it, but mostly I think.
Ashley:Yeah.
Nicole:I don't know.
Nicole:I don't know about that.
Kelsey:I wouldn't.
Kelsey:If it was.
Kelsey:If I was ever in the Monsters Inc.
Kelsey:Universe, he would be my first choice.
Ashley:I think I saw Randall on there.
Nicole:No.
Kelsey:Absolutely nothing.
Nicole:Absolutely not.
Monica:No way.
Nicole:I was trying to think.
Nicole:I was like, maybe hear me out on Randall.
Nicole:But no, I don't think so.
Nicole:Maybe Mike Wazowski though, with his big eyeball.
Kelsey:Mike Wazowski.
Kelsey:Big old eyeball, big old tongue.
Nicole:What are some other ones that you guys heard?
Ashley:Let me see.
Monica:Well, I don't know, but this is a trend that like I hope stays around much longer than demure.
Monica:Can it just stay longer than demure?
Ashley:I think it's.
Ashley:Demir went out fast.
Monica:I feel like this one needs.
Ashley:This one.
Monica:This one needs to stay a bit longer because it is really funny.
Nicole:Oh, you got one.
Kelsey:Why do I feel like his name is wrong?
Kelsey:Why am I having.
Kelsey:His name's wrong in my brain?
Kelsey:It's not right.
Kelsey:From Hunger Games.
Kelsey:The drunk.
Nicole:I can't seem.
Kelsey:Hey, myth.
Kelsey:And I'm like, not Haymuth.
Kelsey:What the fuck is wrong with me?
Kelsey:Hay Mitch.
Nicole:I love Hamish.
Kelsey:He could get it.
Nicole:He could get it.
Nicole:Haymach could absolutely get it.
Ashley:I'm about Kermit the frog.
Nicole:No, no, that's.
Nicole:That's sinful.
Ashley:No fucking what's his name?
Ashley:The snowman from frozen?
Ashley:Olaf the panda?
Ashley:From kung fu panda?
Nicole:No.
Nicole:Oh, my God.
Ashley:People are sick.
Ashley:Oh, my God, Mater.
Kelsey:Oh, I almost said lightning.
Nicole:Lightning queen.
Kelsey:I did too.
Ashley:I said lightning McQueen.
Nicole:McQueen.
Kelsey:On a separate note, my kids are absolutely losing their ever fucking living mind.
Monica:So, yeah, on that note, we probably should all be moms.
Monica:And then later this evening, catch up in a group chat as we watch love is blind.
Nicole:Because I was gonna say Kelsey brought up love is blind a little bit ago, and I had to really hold my tongue about spoilers, because.
Monica:I just want another Chelsea.
Monica:For all of the quotableness, I just.
Nicole:Think we might get one.
Nicole:I think it's gonna be.
Ashley:I haven't watched any, so you need to stop.
Monica:Britney.
Nicole:I'm not saying any.
Kelsey:Keep your thoughts to yourself.
Kelsey:We can't ruin it.
Monica:Anything.
Monica:Just.
Nicole:We will.
Kelsey:I don't want any preconceived notion.
Ashley:I can see it.
Kelsey:Like, who to dislike?
Ashley:You're saying very minimal words, but I can read it all over your face.
Kelsey:So just close read each other's time.
Kelsey:I can't.
Ashley:Yeah.
Ashley:I will watch all of the.
Ashley:All of this newest season that's out of.
Ashley:By our next record.
Nicole:Seven episodes out, I think.
Ashley:Boom.
Ashley:I'll go all to say, we're gonna watch love is blind.
Kelsey:Yes.
Monica:We're gonna watch love is blind.
Nicole:Yes.
Monica:Go watch it.
Monica:To tune into our instagram, we'll probably chat about it.
Nicole:Yeah, we're not.
Nicole:We're not, like, you know, a reality tv podcast, but we will be, for love is blind.
Nicole:We love.
Monica:So this was actually, I think, the first show in the group chat that you guys convinced me to get on board with.
Ashley:Oh, yes.
Ashley:Way back in the day, while we've been pressuring Monica for months.
Ashley:Years.
Kelsey:Yeah.
Nicole:Y'all bitches need to get on the circle.
Nicole:Me and Kelsey love the circle.
Nicole:Y'all bitches never get on that too, next time around.
Monica:But y'all have me busy with things I'm getting caught up on, so.
Nicole:Yes, we're very, very, very long.
Nicole:Listen, a long list of things I can't wait to.
Nicole:You bitches are on acotar because I'm already one book in on that, and I need you guys to catch the fuck up.
Ashley:As soon as I'm done with mistborn.
Ashley:It's acotar.
Kelsey:Yes.
Nicole:That seems to be the trend.
Nicole:Perfect.
Ashley:But I'm only halfway through book two of Mistborn, so.
Nicole:Oh, my God, girl, hurry.
Nicole:But before you know it, you're gonna be caught up to Monica.
Ashley:Yeah, I would love to.
Ashley:That would make me feel really good, actually.
Monica:Could be I'm in, like, chapter, like.
Ashley:13, because you guys are all in.
Kelsey:That's not helping your case.
Kelsey:There's 82 chapters.
Kelsey:Or 84.
Ashley:Wait, am I ahead of you?
Ashley:No, I'm not.
Nicole:No, you're in book two.
Nicole:She's in book three.
Kelsey:But trust me, you could definitely still catch up.
Ashley:I'm gonna try.
Kelsey:It would be so funny if you pass Monica.
Ashley:And she was the last.
Monica:I will be so pissed.
Monica:Since I'm the one who introduced you all to this, I knew.
Kelsey:This is a life mission.
Kelsey:Ashley.
Kelsey:Perhaps we can circle back to this next time.
Kelsey:But for now, yes.
Nicole:We gotta go.
Kelsey:That is it for this week.
Kelsey:You are welcome for all those amazing insights that we gave you.
Ashley:Yes, I feel like we've basically solved all of life's problems in about an hour here, so no big deal.
Monica:We're not.
Ashley:I don't know if we.
Nicole:Baby and I, we've given you a.
Ashley:Lot to think about.
Nicole:Yes, we have.
Nicole:And if you're still here, congratulations.
Nicole:You must really like our bram of chaos because that's exactly what that is.
Nicole:Or maybe you're just really bored.
Monica:Either way, thank you for listening.
Monica:Don't forget to rate, review and follow.
Monica:A little bit bothered so you can stay updated on all of the things bothering us next week.
Monica:Because trust us, there will always be more.
Nicole:Bye.
Nicole:Welcome to the inner sanctum of friendship.
Nicole:These bitches are a little bit bothered.
