Not taking someone serious because of the color of their hair or the tattoos that they have seems more like a problem for the person who feels that way than the person with the hair or tattoos. Just because someone expresses themselves differently than you doesn't mean they're not serious or completely capable of doing the job that they're there to do, since when does any of those things get in the way of how smart or successful a person is? I love Matt, but I think that has to be the most craziest statement I've ever heard him say on here.
Matt is so old fashioned. I hired my accountant 12 years ago *because* he had tattoos (and a cat). Tattoos and colored hair do not mean unprofessionalism, they mean people care about their appearance and pay attention to hygiene, creativity and care for themselves.
yes exactly!!! i work in an insurance office & one of my coworkers has pink hair and i have purple & it doesn’t affect our work or productivity in any way
my grandma goes INSANE over elbows on the table💀 my entire life she’s pokes our elbows with her fork if we do it..safe to say i don’t put my elbows on the table anymore😂😂
I promise you in most countries in Europe the driving laws are insanely more strict compared to America. I remember driving in America for the first time and thinking that in my country they would send everyone to prison for such terrible driving behavior.
I honestly never commented on here before but it me or does it sound like Matt sound is kinda off and he’s in another room lmaoooo. Love the podcast just wanted to know it’s was just me.
I JUST came back from a funeral. It was over 3 days and a military funeral. Day 1 was the wake. Day 2 was the church service. Day 3 was the burial. I wore 3 black modest dresses and was pretty much the only one doing that. The average guest age range was 35-70. I was shocked to see no one else in all black. Only during the church service did i see the most formal, dark clothed attire. And this was hosted in New England if that makes a difference.
You can’t just use tupperware for a Petri dish because they’re agar plates which contain the nutrients needed for bacteria to grow and different Petri dishes can have distinct agar which allows scientists to determine antibiotic resistance or pathogens that remain
Outdated Social Norm: Tolerance for lefties in school. My grandma is left handed and tells me they used to beat her for using her left hand and force her to use her right one. Now she’s 65 and ambidextrous. Crazy to get beat for using a different hand, not even doing anything “bad”.
lol I thought this was going a totally different direction at first but oh yeah I remember those stories it is *crazy* to the point that in the 90's it was still a big joke that Flanders was left handed!
This happened to my mum in the late 60’s!! The teacher used to put kids under the piano while she played and kicked them at the same time. Literally insane.
My grandma is 86 and was born a leftie too. Her teachers forced her to learn how to write with her right hand and to this day her hand writing is atrocious. She said it never felt natural even when she would practice but was afraid to ever use her right hand again. When I was little I asked her if she was a Doctor because her handwriting is so bad lol
definitely not as drastic, but in general the "right way" to hold a writing utensil. I get trying to guide people in at least writing legibly, but if someone only uses their middle finger and thumb but write like it's from a typewriter, who cares?
a teapot and kettle are different, as a brit it’s heartbreaking😂 kettle - boils the water a teapot - you pour the hot water into with the tea bag/leaves and leave it to brew
Regarding the whole last name thing and as someone who has a hyphen last name I think it's also important to point out that its pretty normal for Mexicans to have them. And I do not think you guys realize this, with Erin saying just pick one. It's sorta part of our culture and I love having two last names being that it represents both sides of my family and it never bothers me at how long my name is. Same goes with changing our last names it's also not that common to change them once we get married. My mother never did and her mother didn't either, and I for sure am not planning to either. Also my boyfriend is korean and his mother never changed her last name either because it's not common to do so. Overall, I think it's pretty important too to realize that culturally things are different than what you guys are used to in America.
Actually fun fact about wearing white at weddings! While it is widely believed to be tied to purity, brides often wore blue to their wedding ceremonies until Queen Victoria got married she wore white so she started a huge trend which is now the norm!
Matt's inner boomer came out when they were talking about hair color. I think someone having a different hair color and that distracting you is a little old school. That's like getting mad at girls for their skirts being too short and this distracting you. In a perfect society my doctor would wear a brat green bathing suit and pink hair and I wouldnt give a f*ck or get distracted or even question her because she is my doctor and A doctor at that. Sucks that people go to medical school for a decade and someone would question their validity based on hair color ?
omg does anyone remember the shower station thing science classes had? It haunts me. my class begged one of our high school teachers to let us pull it at the end of the year and they let us, only for the shower to send out rusty dirty brown water. I was so happy i never needed to use it like i had always wanted to 😭
The attack on my hyphenated name 😂🤣... My mom didn't want to take my dad's name but when they had kids he said we're hers too so didn't want us just as 'Smith' plus there 9mil Smith's so they hyphenated us
but why is having colored hair not considered professional? if it’s styled in a way that makes sense for the job… i think that’s crazy to think anything of it
I feel like sometimes yall are allergic to seeing/ understanding different points of view. just because something is different than what you do/ expect doesn’t make it weird or dumb
the whole last name thing.... like I thought Mike was going to say something a little more profound when he mentioned his "very left" friend only to say she "had to take the man's last name" like what? it is NOT disrespectful to someone to not want their last name....
as someone who's had green hair for 10 years now i agree....what year are we in that tattoos or hair colour make you think someone can't be professional? insanity 😅
Fun fact about Greenbay, it is owned by the city and citizens. Or at least it was when I lived in wisconsin... my mom's cousin is a part owner of the team because he lives there...And like all government buildings were closed on GameDay... so everyone could go.
The hair color conversation made so mad because someone’s hair color/tattoos shouldn’t be a problem for you. I also think that you shouldn’t take away someone’s accomplishments because of their hair color, If someone went to school to be a surgeon then honestly they have every right to have green hair..If that bothers you then that’s a YOU problem.(and it’s not unprofessional)
@@passivelyobsessive5460 I think people don’t recognize they are trash cans. They have so many and they’re color coded for different materials (paper, cans, cardboard…) so I think bc they don’t look like trash bins we are used to, so they go unnoticed. No one really thinks the bright green and blue boxes are trash cans unless you know they are, I guess. Haha
I'm all for standing up to greet people, but I dont like handshakes. So if I'm at work and I stand up, i feel so awkward 😂 like fist bump? Salute? Lmao
I get what Mike means, like you put yourself in such bad health that you just feel like shit but the doctor wouldn’t be like oh you have the flu or whateve r
46:35 in my country (PR) nobody changes their names and when there is a baby, they’re given both names. I’ve never understood erasing the others family name.
Parmesan Reggiano is authentic Parmesan and can only be bought or imported from Italy. So it’s kinda dope that they sponsored her. Also Mike ur fucking cough drops in the mic are bad etiquette WTF
I just never liked the whole Mr/Mrs/Dr thing...I just have always, whenever possible, just referred to someone rather than address them with a name unless I'm trying to get their attention....other than the specifically only use Mr to refer to the principal because he was a jackass to intentionally disrespect him. Same with the respecting your elders thing, I'll grant any person an initial level of common respect, but you don't get special levels of it just because you managed to not die. We're in a world with antibiotics, vaccines and seat belts, not reaching old age takes bad luck or terrific stupidity for the most part.
In germany you definitly can still drink while you drive - limit is 0,3 and 0,5 if you don't cause issues otherwise you are responsible as well in an incident. But people would look at you funny if you actually did drink on the wheel :D Also there's a major shift happening right now since alcohol has been declared bad from the first sip... it wasn't before and the beer and wine culture for sure did not want to say that or have anyone speak about the dangers of alcohol consumption. Younger people often drink less and also don't drive at all even if they are within the legal limits.
I know how to do a tie because I had to go to school in the UK and we had uniforms tying a tie is easy how to do it for 12 years and I like good manners no elbows on the table and no chewing with your mouth open that’s disgusting love the pod sending my love from Dundee Scotland ❤🫶
In the 80's & beyond there was smoking Everywhere (no smoking sections) Planes, super markets, colleges, even in the Hospital. I was brought an ash tray to use In my bed. There were No non smoking sections, anywhere, it was the norm.
The yes sir no sir thing its out of respect. It doesn’t need to be so deep. Also yall didn’t grow up saying that to your elders?? Maybe it’s only on the south
yeah it really isn't that deep, but it is a more southern thing - i will admit I like doing it out of respect but am also not using it anymore since, like they said, in 2024 you can wrongly assume things about person and use it incorrectly
I understand Matt to an extend about the tattoo/hair colour. Because face tattoos? Or Rainbow hair? Or like Mike said a green mohawk. Sorry but i am taking you less seriously in a work environment, you may be nice to talk to tho
@@chelseakarma9479 exactly, it makes me think of dress codes in school not allowing tank tops - like it's on the other person "getting distracted" by a shoulder, not the person wearing the shirt...

My husband took my last name because I love mine and he has always hated his. ✨ He gets made fun of all the time by men but women adore him for it when they find out. He’s a gooood man 🥹
Mike having swollen lymph nodes and claiming he’s “run down” is so funny haahhahahahaah they only swell when they’re fighting a virus
The male egos of not accepting you're sick/just a little weaker because of being a normal live human, so fucking funny.
For a seemingly smart guy, Mike really doesn’t understand how germs/illnesses work. Lol
I just commented almost the exact same thing 😂
i think it’s more reluctancy to admit he’s sick 😭😭
I don’t think he’s well versed in certain fields of science 🧫 like the Petri dish comment, completely wrong
i like how everytime i go to the comments 9/10 times the top comments are all about mike being wrong 😭😭😭
because he's a liar lol.
I don’t think Mike knows how viruses work… 🤦🏻♀️😂
