About TMG:
TMG podcast is a podcast where comedians Cody Ko and Noel Miller talk to each other (it's a podcast).
I wanna hear more stories from Noel's life, seems like everything he remembers from his past is comedy gold
Yeah cause he’s so mysterious
I agree! I really hope someone lets him know so he does it. That whole best buy story and other stories from his past would be perfect for his own channel or for his stand up shows
I went to a show on his last tour and trust and believe man has been thru it and can make some serious gold off it
If y’all haven’t seen that video where he talks about working in a music studio on his podcast go watch it that shit gets me howling every time.
true
god noel talking about people hiding during their shift hit close to home for me because me and my coworkers are cashiers and we're constantly trying to not do our job by hiding in plain sight
As donation guy for value village, I thank every car that doesn't pull up to the back with stuff lol
I thought you called noel a god I had to reread it so it would make sense to why you called him a god then said something irrelevant
noel screaming EXCUSE ME in best buy had me rolling💀
what ppl are calling "quiet quitting" is called "work to rule" in unions & the labour movement. It's a long-used form of job action that is regularly used to slow down production and show that bosses are nothing without workers. if you're ready to 'quiet quit' def look into unionizing (or getting involved with your union) - it makes a huge difference
Yeah it's the ethernal struggles between the working class and the parasite class. One would have you work for free if it legally could, while the other one as a response tries to do as little as possible without getting fired. That's why capitalism is bad for productivity. Just imagine how much more productive a society would be if they actually enjoyed doing what they do, however mundane that task might be, instead of doing what they do cuz the alternative is starvation.
No it doesnt 😂 all it does is ruin the production. And they will replace you asap and should as well. Doing nothing in a store is fine but at a factory.. no
Yeah dude, you clearly know better than decades of history that show that work to rule works 😂
@@likemysnopp my guy. sweet pea. slowing down production on a factory line is a classic job action tactic that workers use together. you don't do it on your own, but as a part of a coordinated effort with your fellow workers. if you just slow down on your own then yeah, there's a good chance you'll get fired. but when you do it in coordination with your fellow workers this can be considered job action (which is legally protected under some circumstances) and can be used to provide unions and worker's groups with leverage to negotiate better conditions, pay, benefits, etc.
I thought most jobs have agreements about nOt unionizing like they do about drug testing and such , don’t they?
“Quiet quitting” which isn’t even a thing is just people doing their job. No more no less. It’s working within their 9-5 and not working more at home or on the weekends
pretty sure u misunderstood the trend...
@@dylanwood2287 can u explain it then cause that's what it sounds like lmao
@@prrrian doing the bare minimum. Turning your brain on like 30% jus to have a finish product w/out the intention of impressing your manager and getting promoted
i think w/ remote work esp its also like, spending a couple hours a day getting your work done, going to necessary meetings and jus chilling for the rest of the day.
@@zeffery101 Thats called working
@@dqarqeer8603 i kinda figure thats what most of working america has been doing for decades.
its still funny to me that tik tok went out of their way to coin a practice that has been going on for a while. like they are just discovering what their parents actually do everyday
noels impression of a harddrive hitting the floor was way too good
He hears it in his dreams probably
im impressed i replayed that 7 times
This had me dying, Noel needs to make a video about best buy and other jobs he's had
This has been the most relatable and entertaining clip yet. I feel this asf working at Target cuz I mainly work registers and people will come up to me and ask questions about the shitty phones we sell and I legit just read the box to them
Every piece of info they ask for is right there on the box everytime 😭😭
“Quiet quitting” lol so cringe that that phrase is everywhere like it’s a new thing. More people are realizing that working harder and sacrificing your life and wellbeing does NOT automatically get you a promotion or raise. You just get taken advantage of more. Doing your job no more no less is “quiet quitting”. It’s setting healthy boundaries in the workplace. That’s it
noel was loud quitting and no one heard him
underrated comment lmfao
Bro when I worked at a restaurant I wished people would say "excuse me" lol. They just barked demands in my general direction.
Fr especially that after church crowd always the worst old crusty ass mfs just looking in my direction and sayin "Ketchup"
The most you get is an um before getting ordered
It’s crazy now we’ve gotten to this point in capitalism that people have to make up a term for doing the bare minimum at your job. It’s like people are just now starting to realize you don’t actually get paid more for working harder
exactly, i realized mid hs that optimizing low effort for maximum results was like common sense. So throughout hs, university, and now as a SWE i've been rlly doing the bare minimum. I hate how ppl feel the need to label everything. its rlly not a new concept. im on work time rn!
when people get paid minimum wage, they're going to put in minimum effort and minimum care and smile the minimum amount. That just makes sense.
Yeah it's the ethernal struggles between the working class and the parasite class. One would have you work for free if it legally could, while the other one as a response tries to do as little as possible without getting fired. That's why capitalism is bad for productivity. Just imagine how much more productive a society would be if they actually enjoyed doing what they do, however mundane that task might be, instead of doing what they do cuz the alternative is starvation.
No, its the Young people who have not worked that recently Did work a bit and understood What working useally is…
@@33up24 what is the solution to make people "enjoy what they do"? I'd like to see how many of these people would actually put effort into their jobs if they started getting paid the 20/hr or whatever it is they want.
Yeah, Gen Z didn't invent this. I used to memorize my boss' schedule and nap under my desk on days I knew she wouldn't be around. Full-on, hour-long naps. That's when I wasn't watching TH-cam or scrolling through social media. In my defense, I was an ad designer for a local magazine so as long as I hit my deadlines, nothing was urgent.
just purposefully destroying merchandise because your bored feels so relatable
can confirm best buy inventory still does everything noel spoke about lmao.
People need to stop spreading this misunderstanding of what quite/silent quitting is.
It is NOT being bad at your job and doing as little as possible.
It is NOT being a horrible employee ON PURPOSE and not doing your work.
It IS doing the job competently. No more, no less.
It IS not dedicating your life and time to the company/business/corporation you’re working for.
Because going above and beyond/doing the most and best in your department will not get you more pay.
These days it will, instead, reward you with more work, more responsibilities, and expectations to always do better than the day before, with no compensation for it.
This is why quite/silent quitting is happening and NEEDS to happen,
so that workers realize they don’t have to accept this vicious cycle in every/any job that they take on.
Let’s stop this idea that being taken advantage of in the workplace is normal.
P.s …Sorry for the word vomit.
Thats just regular working lol
@@giovannybaez2648 exactly
how bad are these companies that they had to reinvent work life balance as a tik tok trend
@@giovannybaez2648 lol you’re not necessarily wrong.
Just wish it was more normalized.
Edit: clarification that the “no more, no less” be normalized.
Don’t want any misunderstandings on my part lol.
@@fxshlein pretty bad, unfortunately.
The past 6 months I worked the photo counter at Walgreens. (Absolutely loved printing escort business cards.) Rather than loathing the painful “EXCUSE ME!” Customers loved smashing the customer service button, even though I was standing right there. When I would see people approach the button I would scream “I AM RIGHT HERE DONT YOU DARE”
I worked in retail for 4 years and most days me and my coworkers would talk in the backrooms for half an hour at a time multiple times throughout the day. Shit was great
if you could gain experience in life like in video games noel would be ranked fucking top 100 worldwide, bro been through pretty much everything
I work in a retail store in Ireland. We very rarely get Karen’s like Noel is describing. People around here know if they click their fingers at us we are not even looking in their direction lmao.
I worked 152 days in a row without a day off last year, all of them were drive to work an hour away, work 12 hours, drive an hour home, eat, drink and then sleep like 4 hours, rinse and repeat. I wish I could just ditch all of it.
I’m sorry but I’ve got to ask, how tf did you survive on 4 hours of sleep a day for 152 days straight? I think my body would have shut down and just gone into organ failure if I was sleep deprived for that long lmfaoo
@@FirstnameLastname-zq8oy Timathy a real bag chaser ig haha
@@FirstnameLastname-zq8oy sorry about the late reply, YT never told me I got a response, yeah it blows big time, but after a week or two the days, then the weeks start to blend together, a week feels like 3 days. You don't really text anyone, you don't make plans, you just use your phone for entertainment. I'm still doing this job and I'm on a night shift right now, and damn is it depressing haha what I think is funny about the organ failure thing that you mentioned was I forgot to mention about half of those days, I would get home and slam 2 bottles of Moscato from the gas station, the 750ml ones, or I would go to the store and get wild turkey 101 and drink a...idk what it was, like...500ml bottle and get hammered right before going to bed while I ate dinner 😅😅
@@kbetou yea, I was making about $9500 after taxes every 28 days lol
Bro put the editing team one the pod on time this is amazing🤣🤣🤣
I bought a package of black printer ink from best but a few months ago for $35. I expect to find 3 cartridges when i opened the box but I only found 1. 1 thing of ink for $35 that last me about 10 prints. I don’t steal, but i’ll be damned to legally obtain ink ever again.
I feel dumb as hell just now realizing why my new laptop is so slow
half the time it isn’t even “EXCUSE MEEE”, I’ll just be walking across the store and some lady just yells “COFFEE?! HEY HEY COFFEE?” and look at me like I just kicked their baby
As a hearing aid technician, a landline will not work with hearing aids (most can connect to cell phones via bluetooth) but there is a landline with real time captions for people with hearing loss
Noel's "EXCUSSSEEE ME!" just triggered my fight or flight response.
Working retail is such a pot-luck job. When you walk through those automatic doors you have no idea whether you’re gonna berated by some shitty manager for not clocking out right, whether you’ll be demoralised by a Karen with her kids in tow because you don’t know how many Mega-pixels a camera can do to the nearest decimal, or whether you’ll have a chill day because the shop is quiet and your favourite coworker is in and you spend the day talking shit about videogames.
When people get paid minimum wage, they're going to put in minimum effort
Worked retail for 3 years, the last one I was basically not even really there. My very existence was fading and most of my breaks were spent in the bathroom.
It's always refreshing to hear noel talk about retail shit. Chance you dreams kids, you want be there forever
Omg, we used to have an elderly blind woman come into our store every month and she would expect one of us to be her personal shopper for three hours because she legally couldn’t see and she’d have us describe the colors to her. My manager got so fed up that I’d just leave her in the dressing room when called to do my actual job
Omfg That is so hilarious and sad at the same time but I’m annoyed with her family and friends they couldn’t get someone to go with her that’s on them you can’t be responsible for every single person who walks in your place of business
@@talkingtreefrombugaboocree4847 exactly! I still laugh about it but feel so sad at the same time.. she just wanted special attention but that's not my job!
@@sarahkaltenecker right some of these people expect a servant or some shit. so entitled.
I remember we had to stop going to the Best Buy near my house when I was a kid because almost every electronic thing we bought was broken already smh
I literally have people walk up to me mid conversation with other customers, shove shoes in my face, and go ‘find me this’, and there’s never any kind of courtesy or etiquette to them. Also the same fuckers that just leave the stuff strewn around all over the floor
Bro they hit me with the big box voice in a fucking mall sized Hot Topic like wtf
"No" is a powerful tool
"excuse me!!!" Instant flashbacks 😭😭😭 retaillll is helllll
I think the term Noel is looking for is “gender-neutral” but now I’m imagining a genderfluid employee running around the store yelling in different voices to fool the other staff even more
Bro you know gender fluid people don’t switch voices like 😭😭
@@muzz4610 bro you know people make jokes online😭😭
@@saltjord1547 yeah but to me, it doesn’t make any sense as a joke because them being gender fluid wouldn’t change anything about their voice to begin with, so to put it as fooling the other staff “more” doesn’t make sense. I realise I’m deeping it a lot but it’s not that I think it’s offensive, just that it makes no sense so it’s not funny.
quiet qutting is basically just working... normally.. lol
Bruh I work in self checkout at Walmart and people come to the front and ask me to open cases in different departments or help them find items and then scream at me when I can’t help them because I’m not allowed to leave self checkout
Every generation realizes at some point in their career that it's not worth breaking their backs for companies/bosses that don't appreciate them. Definitely not anything new lol but I loved this discussion on it
i wish i "quiet quit" at my old retail grocery job. i'd literally be working 5 hours after my shift ended (on the clock) cause the schedule was more of a suggested time to leave if anything 🙄
This is so relatable for someone who worked at one of these types of stores in Australia omfg
This has to be my favorite clip in a long time 😂😂😂
Dudes got 12 +10 estus flasks, a club and shield with 365k spare souls and is taking on the hardest boss ever
As someone who is currently working a shitty retail job, this made me feel seen.
I worked at Home Depot at like 20 and all these adults thought I knew every detail about how a house works
bro cody glowing like a ken doll what’s good
I was about to say ya no one fucking works during a entry level job. We all quite quit
Holy shit I worked as an Intel rep at BestBuy, so I wasn't actually a BestBuy employee, and people would come up to me with the most random questions about cameras, car audio, refrigerators, etc. Then they'd be pissed when I said I didn't know and didn't even work for BestBuy LOL
I work at office depot and we still have a whole isle of programs in boxes😭
No wonder my fucking computer was clicking fresh out the box lol
I would hide at party city by always offering to be the one to do bathroom cleaning and checks just so I can sit in there for 15 min lol
Working at a clothing department store, you made this your absolute goal to do the least amount of work possible. Your answer to everything was never an open ended statement. It was always yes, no, or idk.
I used to work at kohls and I distinctly remember someone came up to me and asked what temperature a spatula went up to, I responded with I have no idea because why would I know that. He responded with shouldn't you know about your product, sir I get paid 14 dollars.
Back when I worked at a juicebar, I quite quit the shit out of that job. I would open, and fucking watch TH-cam in the bathroom until I heard a customer come in
Best Buy doesn’t even sell blank CDs and DVDs anymore
noel’s karen bit is absolutely spot on
Legit just quit today and was “quiet quitting” for about 2 months
Who edits the podcasts clips?cause the editing make this 5x funnier
I edited this one :)
In 2017, I worked at Marshalls. I used to unstock shelves, then restock them just to pass the time
That or I would go up to customers and ask if they needed price checks, and I would just walk around the store randomly, and if I run into the customer in five minutes, I just say "oh, yeah, so, I couldn't get the price check".
Yeahhhh, retail is funn. . Don't even get me started on the luggage aisle.
Worked at Best Buy from 2018-2020 can confirm this all 😂😂
nanami kento and his influences
God I miss my bestbuy days, i worked in the computer section and it was just 5 of us 18 year olds fucking around
Not me watching this video in my Best Buy uniform
Quiet quitting is the dumbest bullshit. All you're doing is your job, no more no less.
minimum wage only buys minimum effort
I worked in magnolia at best buy and I could listen to Noel talk about how soul sucking being inside that building is.
got major flashbacks to my time working at UPS at 7:05
0:50 i literally did that and quit quit early this week😂. Fuck retail
Cody and Noel not talking about quiet quitting for 8 minutes.
Quiet quitting is so dum lol. I said I didn't wanna do someone else's job at work and my manager said I was quiet quitting. Bro I've been doing the same thing everyday....
Cody the type of guy to have a home phone
I steal skin care items if that counts as mini heist
I’ve quiet quite my entire life Lmaoo
2:14 Bro the editor 💀
Wow, a bunch of mid 20 year olds are finding out the "rise and grind, get dat hustle" was actually a load of crap from rich people bragging on social media?
Shocking
Quiet quitting is just having work-life balance
Noel's impression of the karen "excuse me!" awoke something in me. I work at a Macy's and there is not a single person over the age of 45 who can talk to you decently
Noel please make more content about your experiences in retail/customer service
exactly, greatings from the dutch it department
nah Noel is ON THE DOT with that depiction. That’s what everyone does, the best are the ones who hide and drink on their shift
Noel write a sitcom about that
Its called a "go-slow"
Where do I get Noels hat from
Oh no! A customer walked in, someone should go help them
Man this podcast never Is not funny
I read this fast as “Man this podcast is never funny” 😂
Soo checking out, the thing that everyone does at work
oh the ear piercing EXCUSE ME goes for literal restaurants too. where i worked ppl were animals
never been this early before.. that’s crazy
Most restaurants here have the online order shelves but they mandate your have to go up and confirm your name first.
You guys should do a bit one week when the next show is ready to be presented where yall switch sets between shows. Like drop tmg on Tuesday but its the new show then drop the name of the new show and its Brooke and Connor, then trill but its Cody and Noel, then BNCMP and its Ben and Emil. After the week drop the trailer when you introduce the new show like the Cult promo. back to normal the next week.
man Noel had me cracking up, retail really is wild
Me 36 min into my 30 min lunch listening to this
im just acting my wage lol
“Everyone in an hourly wage is doing this” lmao. I be taking longer breaks to make up for the 79 cents I get for every dollar
wait ...people don't use home phones ??? Everyone has them wha!!!
damn the quality of people and culture sounds horrible in America, if "quiet quitting" is trendy and not bashed, the US is dying faster than i thought
Does anyone know what shoes Noel is wearing?
Had a excuse me Karen today smh
I feel like it’s way too easy to steal from bestbuy
Damn I work for Menards and this hella relatable n sad lmao
Honestly, I woulda fuck with those annoying people with their questions. Be like the reason we dont have cd players is because they need a rare earth metal and due to import taxes and major floods that disrupted that minerals excavation CD players aren't profitable anymore and to look it up in the Taiwanese export annual report on page 2354 to 2434
