Welcome to Good Mythical More, we asked you to tell us how you got fired from a job. True stories, we got like 900 responses, we’ve picked 8. So, we have more to go through. Good chances. So, maybe you were picked. Yeah, we’re gonna tell you if it was justified or not. Okay. And it’ll be definitive. But first, we’re going to take at a look, take a look, take at a look. What? Of a pet that was submitted with hashtag GMMReadyPetGo. This one is from Lonald. That’s Donald with an L. Love that. And we’re going to name this cat. We’re gonna guess the name. It’s already been named. Okay. Is that a scrotum? Sack Show-er the Third. He’s a proud cat. His face doesn’t, doesn’t exude pride. He’s like, well. It’s more doofus. What do you think? Do I need to see a doctor? Yeah, he’s has it. Is it supposed to look like this? Milton. Oh, is that Milton? Milton wants to show you his package. I think he’s growing another tail. Look, is that another tail? Am I growing another tail? What do you think it’ll turn into? Milton. Milton’s curious. Creamsicle. Oh, that’s nice. I get it. I, yeah, I get it. I don’t like it. Milton. What do you call him for short? Sick. Hopefully not cream. Okay. It’s a good Prince song, though. Yeah. Okay. Let’s look at the first one. I was let go, oh, we didn’t say who the people were. They’re anonymous. They’re anonymous. But you know who you are. You remember. I was let go from a company after I got stuck inside a slide in the children’s play area and needed to call the fire department to get me out. Not my proudest moment. What kind of company has a children’s play area? So you were a McDonald’s employee. This is most likely a McDonald’s situation. Yeah, when you got to call in the fire department, that’s tough. It’s not so much that you got into the children’s, like, that you went to the play area. Cause that just, that means you exude playful vibes. Or maybe you’re the employee tasked with cleaning it. Right. You got to spray that thing down. Trust me. But I will say. I’ve done some things in there. What this communicates. As a child. What did you do in the ball pit? Just fart it up. You know? You don’t have to clean when somebody farts, unless they really fart. Right. Juicy farts, man. I think. You know, the bottom of the ball pit. The lack of judgment was the fact that you didn’t, you didn’t, you didn’t think about whether or not if you went in the slide, you’d be able to come out. That was where you, your lack of judgment and foresight really comes in. If you fit, we must acquit. Right. And the fact that you didn’t fit. Just, and you couldn’t judge that ahead of time? Yes, you deserve to be fired. Right, right. If you were a cat, your whiskers would have told you that. Because the cat’s whiskers grow to the length of its body. Sicle would have never gotten caught in that slide. What does it work? Cause the whiskers grow to the width of the body? Yeah. So that they know if they can fit through stuff. I heard that. It sounds like something that wouldn’t be true, but maybe it is. Lot of words. You wanna read it? Yeah. Read it fast. I was fired from UPS because I ate chocolate out of a trash can. We had a room where damaged boxes would go, and inside that room was a trash can with dead damaged goods from said boxes. I found chocolate inside the trash can, still intact, but since the box it came in was broken, it had to be thrown away. I giggled and ate the garbage chocolate. Who wouldn’t? Well, come to find out, that it’s technically stealing, and I was immediately terminated and removed from the property. That. That’s awkward. I was just eating the trash chocolate. You know, he’s trying to tell all the employees. The thing I find interesting about these situations is that, this one incident is what you got fired over. Now. Zero tolerance for stealing. Like you think, you think maybe there’s a warning. There should be a warning. Hey, you can’t, you know you can’t do that. You can’t eat the chocolate. I understand you want to eat the chocolate, Right, because it’s technically stealing, but it’s not. If you do that again, you will get fired. Because it’s not, because it was in the trash. This seems like a warning situation. I don’t know if you had violated any previous rules. Yeah, I don’t know that either. Like, if you had eaten other types of chocolate in the trash? I assume not. So, we think. But you did giggle, and you said that. I giggled and ate the garbage chocolate. The giggle, I don’t know, the giggle puts me on the fence a little. A little defiant. Yeah, the giggle, you’re not taking the job seriously. Maybe you should had. You shouldn’t giggle while you work. No, no, no. Have you ever been fired from a job? I would say technically yes. Tell us about it. Now, not a layoff. It was a layoff. That’s not a firing. This is a result of your actions. No, I’ve never been fired. Okay. Have you? Almost. When, that summer in Santa Cruz, California, that I was a amusement park ride operator for the, and they put me on all the kiddie rides. Yeah. These things would just go in circles and you would just put kids on them and then you would take the same kids off of them and their parents would just be incessantly, like. The parents. Just, talking to the kids. The worst. Taking pictures of them and it was just. Oh, pictures of kids. It was, it was like the joy that these kids and their parents were experiencing just grated on my nerves so bad. Sickening to see a family enjoying themselves. I could not. Can’t abide that. I could not smile. I was so miserable. I could totally see the Link face that was being made in that situation. And, I was so bored. And, my supervisor came up to me one day, when I was having a particularly bad day. Show us the face first of all. I’ve seen the Link just like completely done with the world face. And like little kids like. I’m eating garbage chocolate, mommy! And I’m picking up the kids. I’m touching their kids. I’m picking them up. Putting them down. I’m plunking them in, I’m pulling them out, I’m strapping them in. No smiles. Just like flaccid face. Oh, gosh. Just gotta get through this. Right. I’m looking over there at my friends operating like, The Wave Rider and all the cool, The Tsunami and all the cool stuff. Interacting with. Like, teens and adults. Oh, teens and adults. Here I am stuck over here. My supervisor comes up to me, and, she said, are you okay? Cause you look like you’re having a really bad day and I was like well. And you were supposed to be setting an example for the, you know, of your. Yeah. Yeah. – You love the Lord. – Christian example, and I was like, yeah, I’m, I’m having, I’m just having a bad day. That was a lie, I was, I was hating the job permanently. It wasn’t, it wasn’t localized to that day. And she was like, well, why don’t you just take the rest of the day off? And I was like, what is happening. She was like, really? She’s like, yeah, I’m going to take over for you. Why don’t you just leave and come back tomorrow with a better attitude, and, I cried. . I cried. You cried. I was embarrassed. I was so embarrassed. I felt like I had let down my Nana and my God. Hold on, Nana worked there? No, it’s just, I just felt like she’s always watching. Okay. I was pretty embarrassed. I was not, it was not my finest moment, but I wasn’t fired. I came back stronger than ever. Show me your face the next day. For about 15 minutes. Still not great. Yeah, and then it was back to this. Not great, not great. First day at a pizza place, I took a pepperoni out of the container and ate it. As a joke. And my boss just looked at me and said, leave your apron on the washer and please leave through the back. So, what is the joke? Because I want to know what the joke is, cause I don’t understand the joke. I find it, my type of humor. Like if you’re at a pizza place, eating the ingredients at a pizza place? Look at me! It’s not really a joke. So, I think you should be fired for just bad judge of conduct. Yeah, that was dumb, you deserved it. Would you want that done to your pizza? Hey, let me read it. Yeah, read that one. I worked at a bookstore. We had a bookstore cat, and I fed him catnip one day. Oh. He got super hyper and started running around the store, and my manager tripped over him, spilled hot coffee on himself, and broke his butt. Ooh, the coccyx. Literally broke his coccyx. That’s tough. But, it’s an isolated incident. That’s just, that’s just a horrible sequence of events, right? Yeah, I feel like this is, I mean, how come you know that the catnip is the reason that he tripped in that particular moment? I mean, the cat could have been at that point, at that place, without the catnip, maybe. I mean, it’s hard to make that connection, really, right? Right. This sequence of events seems hard to prove. I don’t think this would hold up in a court of law. We, we. What is catnip? It’s, it’s edibles for cats, basically. – Right? – It’s a plant, right? Isn’t it? It’s a plant. It, like, makes them real, ;ike, we gave it to Sokka, and he was just very fixated on it. But he didn’t like, some cats are like, they’ll rub their whole body on it, and they’ll, like, just get, like, real happy about it. But is it, did you give it to him as a treat or an experiment? As an experiment. And what did he say? Just to see what he did. And did you think, we have to do this again? Lily had some when she came home from college. What’s the form factor? It was in a ball, so he couldn’t get to it. And like. It was inside something? It was inside a ball with a bunch of holes. Does that seem right? Nick, did you give your cat a catnip? Would you say that it makes your cat high? Yes. In what way? Just that they, their attitude is very different. And it affects different cats in different ways. Right. But generally they just kind of become focused, like you said. They’re hypersensitive to it. They get a lot of work done. Is what you’re saying. I get it. I get it. I was fired from a fast food job due to the fact that I was too tall to wash the dishes in the sink, so I had to get on my knees and wash them. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You do not deserve this. You can’t be, this is illegal, you can’t be fired for being too tall. Yep. You cannot. Trust me. You cannot. I also know a lot about ladders now. You know the tallest actor to ever win? You didn’t laugh at that. You got to finish your HR training. Ladders. Oh, ladders. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on, guys. Do you know the tallest actor to ever win an Oscar? Jeremy Lin. I don’t know his name. Isn’t that a basketball player? No, he’s an actor, which is why he won. What, what, what was his height? Cause I don’t know who it was. I’m just saying. He pretended to be a successful basketball player. Oh. Yeah, that’s a funny juggling. Who, you wouldn’t get fired for that. If there was a pepperoni here, I’d be eating it. Six foot four. Who? I don’t know who it was. Six foot four? Six foot four is the tallest actor to ever win an Oscar. Yet you not know what, who it is? Well, it was, there was an article about Jacob Elordi. And the fact that he’s 6’5 and how 6’5 is considered much too tall to be a successful leading man in Hollywood because it creates all kinds of framing issues and how he’s defying all the odds by being 6’5. Anyone who works with cameras here hates you. And then they were like, 6’4 is the tallest person to ever win an Oscar and the average height of a man who wins an Oscar is like 5’8 or 5’9. It’s like, you know, you want short men. That’s because women run Hollywood. Yeah. Did you want to know who won that Oscar? Yeah, yeah. Tim Robbins at 6’5. Oh, at 6’5? For what? Well, that article was wrong, or else I’m. Women should run Hollywood. By the way. But they don’t. That was a joke. 6’5, okay. 6’5. What did he win it for? Hudsucker Proxy? Probably, Shawshank Redemption. I think it was Hudsucker. I was reading the article and they’re like, most tall actors play roles like. I was too tall. And it was like, the way that they phrased it. Mystic River? It was basically, tall actors usually play villains or strange creatures. Like, Chewbacca, strange otherworldly creatures, or villains. Yep. – Yep. – So, that could be my future, Link. Skeletor! You could be Skeletor! In the reboot! A lot of words, you want to read it? I worked as a data typist and applied for a better position within my department. I was happy when I got called up to the boss a few days later, but instead of hiring me, I got fired. Due to a thorough check of my qualifications and current work results, they decided that I suck so much that I even suck too much for the low level job I already had. If I hadn’t applied for that better position, they’d never checked or notice me, and I wouldn’t have lost my boring but kinda okay job. Data typist. Wow. That’s interesting that that can happen. They let you. You drew attention to yourself. They look a little bit closer and they’re like, we shouldn’t even have a low level job. You don’t need to be here at all. That’s tragic. But I’m, I’m sure you’re a better person because I mean, look, look at all the words you typed. You typed a lot for that. Look at that. No period at the end. Presumably, you typed all this data. No period at the end. Yeah, you’re fired. I got fired from In-N-Out after two, that’s a cramped work environment. Yeah, especially, it depends on the In-N-Out, but especially some of those that are just, like. Most In-N-Outs are like, they’re just like, they’re like a toll booth in there. Yeah. And you get up there and there’s 48 people frying fries. And they’re like, I mean. It’s so intense, man. It’s like that rope game we were just playing. They’re all on catnip. Yeah, they do seem happy. I mean, how does, how does it not fog up in there? I think an anti-fog. I got fired from In-N-Out after two weeks for accidentally asking every customer if they would like doggy style fries instead of animal style. But it took two weeks. It took two weeks. People were like, hold on, does he, does he, does he not really understand? Would you like Them doggie style. Would you like that doggie style? Oh! Oh, he said it again. Oh, he’s been saying it for two weeks, boss. You’ve just been four steps away on the complete other side of the. Yeah, you deserve everything you had coming to you. Because this is one of the things where the first time you said doggie style, you should have thought, that can’t be right. But you kept doing it for two weeks. You know what I’m saying? The first time you said doggie style out loud saw the reaction of the person that you asked. Right. That was your cue to change. First of all, you don’t need to be asking people if they want them animal style anyway. That’s not something that you should do. That’s a secret menu thing. You’re not supposed to, you’re not supposed to just put it out there. Right. You should be fired. Double. Double fired. But since we’re here, I mean, what would doggie style fries be? Just animal style, on the ground. I think you need to turn, when you get the fries, you need to turn them around. You need to eat them from that, from that way. Yeah, eat them from the other side. Doggie style is on the secret menu at my house. Oh. Alright, we got another long one. Oh yeah, cleanse ourselves. What about the Flying Dutchman? Yep. That sounds sexy. That is onions for buns? No, you dummy. What? What? It’s, it’s, you know what it is, homie. No, but I’ve seen, I saw. It’s cheese, meat, cheese. That’s it. But I thought there was, there’s one where they take a completely grilled onion and they put it on the top and the bottom. That’s not a Flying Dutchman? That’s cool. That’s something different. That’s something different. Company golf tournament that, let’s be honest, was more about the day drinking than the golf. While in my inebriated state, I thought it would be a good idea to see how fast the cart would go. Speeding down the pathway, I hit a curb and lost control of the cart. Veering into the parking lot, hitting a Porsche. Porsche. Emphasis on the ah. A Porsche owned by none other than the company’s CEO. Between the cart, and the car, I did $9,800 in damage and was told to hand in my badge when I handed the CEO a check for the repairs. Yeah, you know what? You had your fun. Yeah, but, when it was the company outing, and there is drinking, and you, I don’t know, man. I don’t, I think paying for it would have been plenty. I mean, we’ve had, we’ve had completely sober employees wreck cars here, and we didn’t fire them. That’s right. Yep. It happens all the time. Which is why there’s three different videos on how to drive in the HR thing. The HR, I mean, it’s like, how many of these do we need to watch? How to drive regular, how to drive doggy style, how to drive. I mean, and they’re all like, if a car is beside you, and then it disappears. Where did it go? Where did it go? Into a tunnel. Where’d it go, Mikayla? Away. No, it didn’t go away. I think it was trying to get. It went to a blind spot, Link. Hey, you got a lot of catching up to do. It is not, this is, it’s not just like 20 minutes. It takes forever. I’m so excited. I saw KG doing it yesterday. The one that’s probably the most important one takes a few hours. What? The harassment one? The harassment one takes a few hours. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I learned nothing. I already knew it all! He already knew it all. Gotcha! There’s a lot of trick questions in there though. A lot of trick questions. Right. It was like, well, I mean, the way these things are phrased, what are you trying to, it was like the whole point of it was that they would, you would ask a question, they would ask you a question and you would be like, I feel like I could answer this one of two ways. And then they wanted you to get a bunch of it wrong so they could then be like, and here’s a video about why you were wrong about that. Yeah. It was actually a pretty effective, it’s like somebody really took a lot of time to like study psychologically how to get people to actually listen to something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There was no way around that one. Right. Pretty impressed. Yep. Not that I was looking for a way around the harassment training. I wasn’t. But there was no way around it. You had to just, you had to trudge through it. You had to learn it all. Yeah, but you should have been fired. Like, you know, sexual harassment, workplace harassment, intersectional harassment. There’s so many.
