EP 116: When what we say isnt what we mean

Bill, why is my eye twitching? Does this mean I'm in Perry, Menopause? Where's my phone? Juliana, maybe we can ask an actual human. Yes, because I have questions. And I bet you do too. Like, is it normal to sleep in separate bedrooms? We do that, and I still need to know why my poop's been green. We've got actual people answering these exact questions. Listen to Bill and Juliana. The podcast. On the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your podcast. I'm Munga Shatee-Gatherer, and I'm back with a new season of my podcast Skyline Drive. This time I talk to scientists, biopunks, cormugians, blues owners, super seniors, and go as top cryotherapy lab to try to understand the obsession with living forever, and what it means for all of us. And I get into a bit of trouble along the way. I'd say probably start bone smashing. That doesn't work. Make you look more defined. They say it works. I don't know.

Betrayal Weekly is back with brand new stories from threatening text messages disturbing a small Midwestern town. It was from an unknown number. Who else is getting these messages? Why did it start with us? To long cons and stolen identities. Who lies about being this sick? This was the last time I ever believed in where she said.

In superstars, even exist the way they used to. 2016 was sort of that last era of monoculture, where we still consume things in community. Everybody wanted to be Beyonce at that point. I don't think we'll ever see another beyond. What does it mean to be black and eat in America? You will never make me feel bad for being a black girl, for being a black American girl, ever. From music to food, to the conversations shaping black culture right now, therapy for black girls is bringing it all to the mic. Listen to therapy for black girls on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Why do some women yearn for Shakira's black hair to make a comeback? And whatever happened to the power couple of my dreams, Mariah Carey and Luis Miguel, I'm Maria Garcia. You may remember me from my podcast, Anything for Selena, or my Divo. And now I'm back to unpack more stories from the present and the past. Listen to Mui excited with Maria Garcia on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Because we do a lot of dating stuff on this show, it's broken Jeffrey in the morning. Yeah. We've talked about how it's a good indication of character if the person treats the waiter or waitress well. Oh, yeah. And that branches out to anyone in the service industry. Even customer care reps over the phone. Oh, yeah. If they don't feel like they were treated right, I think they should take it extremely personally. Sulk about it for a few days. OK. And then call them back to tell them, Hey, you hurt my feelings. Oh, that's what I did to this woman in your phone tap. Right now. Working Jeffrey's phone taps on the 20s. Hello. Hi, is this a happy [BLEEP] Yeah, she's calling. My name's Hal from [BLEEP] by customer service. Oh, yeah. Hi. I was trying to get a hold of you guys. I'm really wondering what's going on with this fridge. You aren't there. Right. Yeah. I mean, I don't know if you remember, but we spoke a couple days ago about that. Yeah. And I asked for a supervisor and I haven't heard that person. I get that. It's just I don't know if you realize this, but when our call was over, you never said goodbye. What does that have to do with getting a supervisor? Oh, OK. So I guess that just doesn't matter to you. No. Like, common courtesy. I wanted to speak to your supervisor. And I didn't get that. So I hung up. Man, I don't think you're hearing what I'm trying to tell you here. Because I told you I was going to go speak to my supervisor and then I said, bye. And then I waited. And you just hung up on me. OK. Moving on. Like, so can I speak to a supervisor? Yeah, there's no really moving on here. That's just the right thing to do is to say hi and bye to people. OK. I'm really sorry. I was probably just busy or maybe I just said it really fast and you didn't hear it. No, no, I would have heard it. I'm like looking out for that. OK. Can we get over this goodbye thing? Oh. I actually really just want to find out about this warranty on the front. OK. So I see customer service people aren't worthy of a buy. Oh. It's literally not what I'm saying. I know what you're saying. You don't think of us as real people. No. We're like clinging on, sir. Residents of Maine. That's not what I meant. That's not what I meant at all. I get it. I get it. I get your busy. You're important. I'm just blue collar trash. So I don't deserve common decency. Listen, you're twisting this thing into something bigger than it should be. Like this isn't the ethics committee. OK. My fault again. I should have said the best. Fine. Yeah, you probably should have said goodbye. I just said that. It doesn't make any sense to say goodbye halfway through the call. If you didn't want to, I would have accepted Adios, Raravwa, Zaijans. Here's going with this. Like OK, Bonjour, goodbye, Raravwa. Ciao. Bonjour is hello. Doesn't make any sense either. Do you know how frustrated it is to talk to you right now? Well, I guess. OK. So at this point, we've talked about this for a while. So you understand now where I'm coming from. I'm a real person. And I have feelings and-- Yes, yes, yes, yes. Yes, I understand. OK. Great. Well, it's been really nice talking to you. I'm about 10 seconds away from my lunch break. So-- wait, what? Well, unless you don't think I deserve to eat. Oh my god. Are you joking? I'm actually not. I do need to eat. So is it OK that I transfer you to our customer satisfaction survey and you leave me a positive review? Never helped me. I'm hoping for five stars. This whole time, he spent dealing with your fucking feelings and not me. OK. Four stars, then? Oh my god. I've had enough of this crap. I demand to talk to your supervisor. This is ridiculous. OK. Well, I mean, your neighbor Chloe told me that you would be rude over the phone. But I just-- I never expected anything like this. Wait, what? Chloe called you? Yeah, she's the one who set you up for this prank phone call. What? Are you kidding me? No, I'm not kidding, because really you're on the radio right now. Oh my god. From Broken Jeffrey in the morning. This is a phone tap, Abby. Oh my god. Now even there is. I feel like I went full mom. I mean, Chloe said that you've been really frustrated waiting to hear about your refrigerator warranty. So she wanted us-- Yes, they still haven't told me. Maybe if you're a little bit kinder to the customer service agents, they'll get back to you quicker. I am kind. I'm a kind person. No, I agree. You sound like a nice person. It's just maybe you need to say goodbye. Fine. Maybe you need to work on that. Goodbye. OK, yeah, but I don't feel like you meant it there. Oh my god. [LAUGHTER] Broken Jeffrey's phone taps on the 20s. Where's my phone? Julianne, maybe we can ask an actual human. We do that. And I still need to know why my poop's been green.
