• 1:31
  SPEAKER_01: And we are getting straight into the title, which is we bought uh which is titled King's Island Passes and Michael's Guide to Understanding the Gay Male.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_01: Without further ado, Dr.
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_01: Umar Johnson.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_00: You don't find that suspicious.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_00: You don't find that suspicious.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_00: You don't find that suspicious.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_01: Well, when you buy King's Island Passes, you gotta understand that things change from when you went to King's Island as a child to now, 2022.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_01: Uh yes, it has changed.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_01: Back then, the marquee roller coaster was the beast.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_01: The beast was a wooden roller coaster that as a child I was not getting on.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_01: The idea of riding a wooden roller coaster did not excite me.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_01: Why are we still making roller coasters out of wood?
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_01: So as a kid, I or as a young adult, it wasn't my appeal to ride that.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_01: And mind you, that the roller coasters back then were like The Beast, The Beast Junior, or The Son of Beast, Top Gun.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_01: All those roller coasters have changed.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_01: In fact, I don't even think the Son of Beast, the Son of Beast has been knocked down, to tell you honest truth.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_01: So when you compare or when you compare things to then when I was going as a kid to now, it was different.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_01: The peak roller coasters I rode was the Racer, uh Adventure Express, the bumper cars, the merry-go-rounds, things like that.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know, and uh I did do drop tire once, but I'll never do that again.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_01: I have a natural fear of heights, surprise to you guys.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_01: So when it comes to now, it comes to now, uh it it is it has evolved to say the least.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_01: Uh the Kings Island has definitely evolved.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_01: Now, a little backdrop, Kings Island is in Cincinnati, Ohio, more specifically in Mason, Ohio.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_01: And um to say the it's changed to at the least.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_01: And so I tell my kids, hey, we got Kings Island Passes this year, we're gonna go there multiple times this summer, and we're gonna have fun.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_01: And they're like, Well, what's Kings Island?
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_01: We never heard of it.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, you know, my friends tell me, but I've never experienced it.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_01: I said exactly that.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_01: You've never experienced Kings Island, it's fun.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_01: So as we go as a family, we do the the first time we go, we do the Adventures Express and the Racer, and it the kids were like maxed out, like, oh my god, this ride is so intense.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_01: And you know, as an adult now, I can handle it.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_01: I can just, you know, it's like, woo, yeah, that was fun.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_01: And then we eventually got adventure to the beast, and this is my first time riding the Beast, and that was fun for me.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_01: That was, you know, that was fun for me now, right?
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_01: And I and I say that is an adult roller coaster.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_01: The Beast is an adult roller coaster, it's fun enough to get a little thrill out of you, but you know, it's an adult roller coaster.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_01: Now, the Beast is the largest wooden roller coaster with a drop of 137 feet going 65 miles per hour.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_01: Now that sounds fast and it feels fast, and it's a great ride, but no, like I'm telling you, these these amusement parks, these roller coasters, have evolved.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_01: Now, my my oldest daughter has had the the idea to ride something called Orion.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_01: Now, this is when you say Orion, what's the first thing you think of?
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_01: I think of a constellation.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_01: This thing is big, right?
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_01: When you're looking at it, you're like, oh my god, this is not an adult roller coaster.
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_01: And in fact, it's not an adult roller coaster, it's officially called a giga coaster.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_01: You might ask yourself, what is a giga coaster?
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_01: A gig a giga coaster consists of a 300 to 399 foot drop.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_01: Let me say that again.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_01: The giga coaster has a 300 to 399 foot drop.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_01: Has anybody ever dropped 399 foot nine 399 feet without some kind of safety device on?
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_01: It it's it's it's it's it's it's it's a monster constellation, it's Orion.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_01: It's very suspicious to say the least.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_01: This thing is so big, and um, I wanted to compare the sounds that you get.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_01: When you get on the beast, you hear this sound.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_01: It's very slow.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know if you notice, it's very slow.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_01: You hear the change, you have time to to decipher what's happening.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_01: You got time to break down, like, oh my god, I'm about to fall off this roller coaster.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_01: But you're in a secure box, right?
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_01: You're in a secure area where you're not gonna fall.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_01: That's the sound of the beast.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_01: You have time to to break down what is about to happen, and then you go on on your ride.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_01: The Orion, the Giga Coaster, it is completely, completely different.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_01: This is what it sounds like to get on the Orion.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_01: Now, does this initially sound like a roller coaster to you?
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, this is a giga coaster.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_01: And you hear the the difference is you don't hear the clank clank of the beast.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_01: This is one straight up, 300 feet straight up in the air.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_01: And you're still going up.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_01: You're going up, you see the whole, you can see all of Ohio at the top of the Orion.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_01: You're still going up.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_01: Now you're gone.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_01: Now tell me, that does not sound like a rocket ship.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_01: At the end, tell me you you you realize that you have screwed yourself when you're at the top and you hear that gust of wind blowing through you.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_01: And the thing about the Orion is that there's no side railing, there's no like protection.
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_01: You're secure, you have something on your lap that secures you, but that's it.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_01: You know, you get the feeling when you're in the beach, you can grab onto the side of the railing, the side of the car that you're in, uh, loop your loop your feet together.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_01: You can't do that on a giga coaster.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_01: Now, when I tell you, like for the past week I've had a raspy voice, right?
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_01: Because I screamed.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_01: And I didn't scream like no average person.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't scream like ah, like that's what that's what I do when I ride Adventure Express.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_01: Ah, that was fun.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_01: When I ride the racer, it's a little bit like ah, but I'm still in control.
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_01: The beast is like I'm telling you, when I rode Orion, I screamed like I was gonna die.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not trying, I'm not trying to make these things up.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_01: I screamed like there's like I'm gonna fall off this damn thing 300 feet in the air.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_01: I literally felt like I could die.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_01: And I've never felt that before.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_01: And you know, me in the military, everything like that, I've never felt like I could die from riding this roller coaster.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm telling you, the stats on the Orion are ridiculous.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_01: Here we go.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_01: One, the 300-foot drop.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_01: It's a giga coaster.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_01: There's only seven gigacoasters in the world, and four of them are in the United States.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, it goes 91 miles per hour.
• 8:39
  SPEAKER_01: I don't even go 91 hours per hour in my car.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going 91 91 hours per hour on a roller coaster.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I deserve to scream like a little girl.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_01: And it was it was rightfully so.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, so if you get a chance, go ahead and try it one time.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_01: That's all I'm asking you to do.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_01: Go to Kings Island, try the Orion one time.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_01: It's two, it's been it's been up for two years.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_01: It's freaking, it's I would simulate the scream, but I'm just getting my voice back.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_01: So that's not gonna happen.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_01: But let me tell you what, I screamed like death was around the corner.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_01: I promise you.
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_01: It's a it's a roller coaster like no other.
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_01: And my wife asked me, would you do it again?
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_01: Uh to be determined.
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not too thrilled to do that so fast.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_01: But that's it.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_01: If you get a chance to go on roller coaster or you get to get a chance to go to King's Island, go ahead and ride your ride once, experience it, and then if you think that what I'm feeling is you will feel the same thing.
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_01: I promise you that.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_01: So that's the first part of the story.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, second part's coming up.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_01: First, here's this PSA about my favorite soap in the world, Dr.

• 9:55
  SPEAKER_01: Those bars and liquid soaps are gross.

• 10:47
  SPEAKER_01: So, part two.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_01: Part two is the guide to the gay man.
• 10:52
  SPEAKER_01: And uh, this is based on just purely personal experience, personal experience I've had with uh three of them to say the least.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm gonna give you three things that um that are warning shots, warning, not warning shots, more like things to look out for when you're around people or you're around homosexual men.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_01: Now, this is this is taken in context.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_01: This is supposed to be funny, nothing serious or anything like that.
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_01: But these are the experiences that I've had.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_01: Now, number one, they don't tell you they're homosexual, which of course it's none of your it's none of the you don't have to.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_01: They don't have to tell you.
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_01: With that being said, the situation that I was in was that like I moved to a different uh different part of the city in Oxford, Ohio, where I went to the school systems there.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_01: And there, as a as the new kid in the schools, I don't know nobody, I don't know the teachers, I I don't know nobody.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm just being me, the class clown that I've always been.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_01: And then, you know, once you once I'm in school and I see see somebody that's attractive, I would always do this.
• 12:00
  unknown: Ala nurse.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_01: If you don't know what that is, that's from the Animaniacs Yakko and Wacko.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_01: Whenever they see the cartoon nurse, they would just flip out and do that.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_01: And it was freaking hilarious.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_01: I thought it was funny as a kid, right?
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_01: So I use that in school.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_01: Whenever I see an attractive girl, nurs.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_01: If I see another attractive girl, if I see an attractive teacher, so you get the point.
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_01: You get the point that I was a clown, nobody knew exactly what I was talking about.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_01: So when I would do that, the guy next to me, let's call him Richard.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_01: Richard was like, he he would laugh too.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_01: He would laugh and you know, like, hey, you know, this is like basically my first friend in in the school, right?
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_01: So when I would do that, he would do it too, but he would do it all, you know, shy, like, hey Lonner.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_01: He was shy, which is cool.
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I was a clown and we we rolled together.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_01: And we would do that in the hallways, never got in trouble, thankfully.
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_01: But that's what we did.
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_01: That's how we bonded, that's how we became friends.
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_01: Fast forward to a couple years later, we're both working at the same restaurant in uh in uh back in my my main city, my home city, right?
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_01: And we're all you know, we were talking, you know, still kicking it, being friendly and everything.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_01: And uh, you know, we're like, you he would remind me, he would remind me of doing that.
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_01: He'd like, you remember that time in school we would do that?
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah, you know, I was being silly, just trying to be impressionable, just trying to, you know, be welcomed to the community guests, to the school, you know what I'm saying?
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_01: So it came up to uh to one time where I go to the restaurant because there's a movie theater directly behind it, and I'm like, hey, you know, come and say hi, everybody, and all that.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't see him, I didn't see him, so I didn't know he was there.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_01: So I say hi, get a drink, walk out, and next thing you know, as I'm walking out, I hear this.
• 14:03
  unknown: Hello, yes.
• 14:06
  SPEAKER_01: I look around to my left, I look around to my right, I don't see nobody.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_01: I don't see nobody.
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_01: I said, wait a minute.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_01: I know that, I know that I know what that means.
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_01: I turn around and Richard's looking at me.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_01: I said, I'm thinking as a joke, like, hey Richard, you know, ha ha, funny funny, you know.
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_01: He's like, hey, why didn't you come say hi to me?
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't know you were there.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_01: I said, you know, I just walked out.
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_01: It's like, and then he said, Well, with a booty like that, uh, you know, I I recognized it was you.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_01: I said, I said, huh?
• 14:40

• 16:51
  SPEAKER_01: I said, I initially said, you know, person on drugs has an addiction already, right?
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_01: So you need to be careful with that.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_01: He said, Yeah, I know, but he's a good topper.
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_01: I said, Topper.
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm sitting there thinking, like, wait a minute, what what topper?
• 17:07
  SPEAKER_01: Hmm.
• 17:09
  SPEAKER_01: What does that mean?
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_01: I d I don't know.
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know what a topper is.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, okay.
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm looking as the conversation goes on, I'm still fixated on a topper.
• 17:19
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know what a topper is.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm sitting there thinking, I'm trying to wait for the dialogue so he the dialogue to continue so he could like so I can know what one is, what a topper is.
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, huh.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_01: So eventually I I find out, you know, I'm like, hey, so you said topper, what does that mean?
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_01: Then he tells me what it means.
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, oh, okay, okay.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_01: Um that's cool.
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I I initially thought that if that's what you that's how you roll, top, bottom, it didn't matter.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_01: But I guess it does matter in the in the gay male community.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_01: Like you either either a topper or a bottomer.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_01: Didn't know that.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_01: Didn't know that.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_01: Why how could I have known that?
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_01: So it was like, okay, so now that I know, I know more of the context of what he's talking about.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_01: Eventually they broke up and it got weird after that, as far as him still dealing with that guy, not with the relationship.
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_01: So, you know, again, definitions are important to know when speaking, when having these conversations.
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_01: Now, I've had I've worked with the female the lesbians, and and I generally get most of that.
• 18:41
  SPEAKER_01: I I do, you know, it's not not that hard.
• 18:45
  SPEAKER_01: But that was new to me at the time.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_01: So definitions.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_01: That's another step you need to know.
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_01: No definitions.
• 18:53
  SPEAKER_01: The last one is that they they have some of them just have no have no chill to speak.
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_01: They have no chill.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_01: So the last one, the last story is uh a guy that I work with and uh real really recent and again he had no chill, zero chill.
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_01: Again, at this position, now I am in a management position and he's not, so he's a he's a employee.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_01: And the first time he met me, he said, Ooh, you must work out.
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_01: And initially, it's now it's 2021, 2022.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_01: You know, you're not like again, I don't generally think that he immediately think that, oh, this dude's gay.
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_01: It's like, yeah, I work out.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_01: Of course I do.
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_01: You know, push-up setups, punch press, you know.
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_01: I I keep myself in shape because that's what I like to do.
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not thinking that he's he's hitting on me.
• 19:47
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think so.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_01: It's just it's 2020.
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I work out.
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_01: I said, Yeah, man.
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I hit the gym a couple times.
• 19:51
  SPEAKER_01: I need to hit more, but you know, I work out, so I was like, I bet you do.
• 19:55
  SPEAKER_01: Like, okay, you know, no big deal.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not thinking like that.
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_01: Just keep it moving.
• 20:02
  SPEAKER_01: You know, it's it's it's it's it's identified, but not like okay, I need to write this down like this dude is he's hitting on me.
• 20:09
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 20:10
  SPEAKER_01: So the second the second time, again, has no chill, he's talking about he likes dark meat.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_01: Again, I'm not I'm not feeding into it.
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not like, hey, what do you mean by that?
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_01: I I'm deflecting.
• 20:22
  SPEAKER_01: I'm deflecting like hey, he goes, I like dark meat.
• 20:25
  SPEAKER_01: I said, Well, I like my chicken dark meat too.
• 20:27
  SPEAKER_01: You you fry some dark meat chicken up, man.
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_01: That's tender, it's good.
• 20:31
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not feeding into it.
• 20:33
  SPEAKER_01: I know, I kind of I know what he's talking about, but I'm not feeding into it.
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_01: Right?
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not, I'm not going to.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_01: It's just I'm just not doing it.
• 20:43
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not gonna feed into it to give him whatever he wants and just say, hey, you know, dark meat, yeah.
• 20:48
  SPEAKER_01: I love some dark meat chicken.
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_01: That's the best chicken in the world.
• 20:51
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I'm just not feeding into it.
• 20:54
  SPEAKER_01: So that's the second.
• 20:55
  SPEAKER_01: The third time we got talking to something about a colonoscopy or something like that.
• 21:00
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know how this came about.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_01: Then he goes, Well, there's another way to clean a colon.
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_01: That's where I draw the line, hey, hey.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_01: We're not talking about that here at work.
• 21:09
  SPEAKER_01: We're trying to feed people right here.
• 21:11
  SPEAKER_01: We ain't talking about that.
• 21:12
  SPEAKER_01: I said, dude, I said, dude, you can't you can't do that.
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_01: You can't do that.
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_01: That was like my my limit right there when he said that.
• 21:19
  SPEAKER_01: Like, yo, that's going too far.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_01: And in this situation, the reason why you might you might ask yourself, like, well, why didn't you report this?
• 21:27
  SPEAKER_01: Uh why didn't you say something?
• 21:28
  SPEAKER_01: Because we don't have employees.
• 21:29
  SPEAKER_01: That's the that's the worst part about this.
• 21:31
  SPEAKER_01: We don't have enough employees to even report.
• 21:34
  SPEAKER_01: Like, we need every single willing body to work.
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm pretty sure that's everywhere.
• 21:40
  SPEAKER_01: So when I said, like, hey, dude, that's enough.
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_01: Like, dude, you can't do that.
• 21:44
  SPEAKER_01: I thought that was the point.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_01: But again, this guy had no chill.
• 21:50
  SPEAKER_01: To the point where we're sitting there rolling silverware, and then one guy burst out, I hope you burn in hell.
• 21:58
  SPEAKER_01: Said that loud as it can be in the dining room.
• 22:02
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm like, whoa.
• 22:04
  SPEAKER_01: Like, whoa.
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_01: So he rolls out, and then the cook who's like just freaked out.
• 22:10
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm like, hey man, I just ain't like you, bursting out in anger.
• 22:13
  SPEAKER_01: What's going on?
• 22:14
  SPEAKER_01: Well, he said, dude, I you know, let's call him Cricket.
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_01: Cricket was like, hey, he's saying some crazy stuff.
• 22:22
  SPEAKER_01: He's I'm like, what do you mean?
• 22:23
  SPEAKER_01: And then he tells me all the stuff he's doing.
• 22:26
  SPEAKER_01: I say, Are you serious?
• 22:28
  SPEAKER_01: He said, Yeah.
• 22:29
  SPEAKER_01: Like, wow, like this guy has been harassing this person at work.
• 22:34
  SPEAKER_01: And the reason why he's harassing him, because he found out that he, the cook, was ho was gay.
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_01: He was gay.
• 22:43
  SPEAKER_01: So he thought he can say whatever he wants to this excuse me, other gay person.
• 22:49
  SPEAKER_01: And it offended him to a point where he said, go burn in hell.
• 22:52
  SPEAKER_01: He's never, never came out like that, like blasted out like that.
• 22:57
  SPEAKER_01: So it was like, yo, this is serious.
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm like, I was like, all right, I believe, you know, he can't we sit down in the office talk, and I was like, he's like, yo, this guy has zero chill.
• 23:07
  SPEAKER_01: Like, I he's like, yeah, I'm gay, but I even I have my limits.
• 23:11
  SPEAKER_01: I said, dang, it's like that.
• 23:12
  SPEAKER_01: He said, yeah, this guy has no chill.
• 23:14
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm like, all right, so let me do some investigating.
• 23:16
  SPEAKER_01: Go around, digging around, find out this guy has been harassing not only men, but he's harassing the women that we work with.
• 23:25
  SPEAKER_01: And the thing that the thing that bothers me the most is that nobody said anything to me or to any other manager before this incident, before the whole burning hell came out.
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_01: And it's like, why didn't anybody say anything?
• 23:38
  SPEAKER_01: And then they said, Well, he's gay.
• 23:41
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm like, yo, it it doesn't matter.
• 23:43
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, you come here to work, not to be harassed.
• 23:46
  SPEAKER_01: And so when something's happened like this, you should say something.
• 23:49
  SPEAKER_01: And I encourage you to say something.
• 23:51
  SPEAKER_01: It doesn't matter what banner he flies under, you're not here to be harassed.
• 23:55
  SPEAKER_01: So he had zero chill.
• 23:59
  SPEAKER_01: And he thought, and the thing is he thought that it's it's okay to do that because well with the cook because it's because he was gay, and that's just simply simply not it.
• 24:09
  SPEAKER_01: So let's recap.
• 24:11
  SPEAKER_01: The three things you need three things you should know when it comes to um dealing, or you know, having having a I don't know how to word it, having a relationship, a friendly relationship with them is that hey, they don't have to tell you.
• 24:33
  SPEAKER_01: Two, you gotta learn some of the definitions.
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_01: And three, some of them just have no chill.
• 24:39
  SPEAKER_01: And that's the thing.
• 24:40
  SPEAKER_01: That's that's the three things to get from that.
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_01: And also get to go get a Kings Island pass so you can enjoy the run and scream your ass off.
• 24:47
  SPEAKER_01: Anyway, that's the that's the episode.
