The most important thing I ever learned as a graphic designer is that you neeeed a person that you trust who hasn't watched you making the design to look at the finished product before you use it. I call it "having a poop checker" in honor of the first time I designed a boardgame piece that was supposed to be a coiled snake and instead looked like a poop. You need the checker or you end up with a geometric design on Hanukkah wrapping paper that looks like swastikas (which happened in a hallmark), or with the snowflake that looks like little bad guys. Also get a 14 year old boy to look at your design. They will immediately see anything accidently inappropriate.
in my design class in college (at an art school) we were heavily encouraged to do this because the amount of truly accidental penis shapes and hate symbols.
They have the same thing in fashion design. My sister when making costumes would always bring in someone else (whether they worked for costume department or not) to check for “hidden pens” or “hidden vags” because sometimes when you design something you don’t realize all the hidden shapes that come in from how clothes fold onto each other to how patterns are sewn on to each other to whatever!! One they missed one and it was a Victorian pattern that they made into a vest. Well, the paneling was a little crooked and in the back, the way the arches met looked like clear balls and c**k and you could see it the whole time during their pilot testing for the show she was working on at the time. It was an easy fix but still, you always got to be careful LOLOL
As soon as I saw the candle in the thumbnail it reminded me of the meme of any instance of 5 black things & 1 white thing reminding people of that one thumbnail for a gangbang porno, except instead of it being silly observational humor it's people finding accidental racism.
The funny thing about Lunchables vs Lunchly in terms of the drink situation, some Lunchables DO come with a little plastic bottle of ice mountain water and a Kool aid packet to mix in, and the boxes are just...structurally sound and packed tight enough that the bottle isn't smacking around in the box.
One thing about those though, the water tastes TERRIBLE by itself. I don't know what they do to that water but it tastes like lotion. You HAVE to mix in the kool-aid to make the water taste edible. So... even when lunchables pulls a packaging win, their food is still awful. The kids can't even opt for a healthier variation if they want to and ignore the koolaid packet. I should know, I was one of those kids. I tried. Everytime I ended up having to pour in the kool-aid. Better to just give your kids a regular lunchables and stick a water bottle in the lunch box.
'Every heartwarming human interest story in america is like "he raised $20,000 to keep 200 orphans from being crushed in the orphan crushing machine" and then never asks why an orphan-crushing machine exists or why you'd need to pay to prevent it from being used'
I work at a Bath & Body Works. My store never got these candles in, so I didn’t hear anything about them until a couple days ago. But the smashing candles thing is what we always do with non-sellable candles in store (label misprints, returned after being burned a little, etc). We put them in the paper bags, staple them shut, then smash them on the floor and throw them in the trash. Being able to smash a candle - especially in the middle of a long, stressful shift - can be pretty fun tbh! But for the quantity of candles that they had to get rid of for this, I agree it’s extremely wasteful.
oh my gosh that's awful 😭 if they're being thrown away, just take them home. the fact companies have rules like that (like throwing away food or clothing too) just baffles me. let your employees have a free treat. melt the candle and recycle the jar? idk there's just better ways but the companies wanna save money and don't see a few candles as worth that effort. sorry for hijacking your comment this was just baffling for me to realize about candles lol
@@pochaccocinoIf you let your employees take them, then they will end up selling them privately and "stealing" profits that your business deemed not worth it. We can't have employees making any more money than the measly minimum wage they deserve
As someone else who also used to work at bath and body works, I wanted to add that when we would get returned product that was too old/not sellable anymore but wasn't damaged (or if there was a seasonal product rhat didnt sell well even when put on clearance), we would box it up and about twice a year, they'd let employees fill a medium bag with as much of that product as they want for $5. They should have done that with these candles
I've worked there previously too and it wasn't just candles, pretty much any broken, unsellable item would be thrown. For soaps we would dump them down the drain and for creams and stuff we would just throw them in the trash. It's so wasteful in general. Smashing the candles was fun but eventually they stopped letting us do that.
i hate it when companies destroy perfectly usable things just because they can't sell it. we do this at old navy too with clothes that are damaged. except a lot of times the "damage" is a tiny imperfection, or it's something someone wore/tried on and then returned dirty. we have to take fabric scissors and cut everything up so no one can take anything usable out of the trash. sucks to destroy things that literally just need to be washed.
It’s so uncommon to make little circles in paper snowflakes… because you usually use just scissors. To make the circles you’d need to add a hole puncher
Teacher here. I felt every bit of that. Every single day I have to act as: a teacher, a mediator, a therapist, a secretary, a project manager. I have to work outside of my hours in order to complete even a fraction of what the district and admin expect me to do: lesson planning, grading, data collection, PTCs, parent communication, prepping lesson materials. And I can't even afford to live in a studio apartment on my own without having a second job.
Godspeed. Teachers deserve so much more than just a “thanks for what you do! 👍🏻” and a criminally low pay. So many of us owe a lot of who we are and our accomplishments to the teachers in our lives. I definitely was inspired and encouraged by most of my elementary teachers, my middle and high school art teacher, a couple of my English teachers, a history teacher, and 6th grade math teacher (specifically her, because every teacher after her was incredibly mean to me, and I was later diagnosed with autism ☹️ She was the last math teacher who took her time and made sure every single student understood and didn’t feel dumb 🥺) I will always always remember them, and almost everyone has teachers they remember really well, who influenced them tremendously. I hope your students see all that you do for them, and I also hope society in general gets its shit together and supports teachers more ❤🫶🏻
I am an army brat so I grew up with DODEA schools (schools on military bases) and they sucked. I had some great teachers and some not so great teachers but it was not uncommon for one teacher to teach multiple classes. For instance, my brother's English teacher was also his calculus teacher because she had a minor in elementary mathematic and that was the only option. Because these schools are overseas for the most part, DODEA (funded by department of defense) thought it was too expensive to hire and move a teacher that actually had the qualifications so they went with the next best option. My teachers were under qualified and/or burnt out immensely because of this. It's just wrong and teachers deserve so much more just for having to deal with bratty kids much less everything else they do on top of that
Exactly, and I'm guessing it might be the same elsewhere but in my country, a teaching degree is pretty tough. You can't even apply if you didn't pass HS (at least for people going straight from hs to uni? Dunno what its like for older people), and yet the pay is still obscene.
From what i can remember off the top of my head the goonch species of catfish has never been actually recorded to have bitten someone in half, its just an urban legend (apologies im autistic over catish and sharks, my source comes from avnj and my memory so i could very well be wrong)
I’m 100% sure that she def remembered goo chi from River Monaters with Jeremy Wade bc of how she brought it up seeing the fishing pole, and that’s hilarious bc me and my bf also reference the gooonch monthly bc he says “the goonch” at minimum a dozen times in that show
Former retail worker here: Usually any time a product is recalled, you have to destroy it by breaking it. A lot of times it makes sense if the product was recalled because the dye is causing a rash or the scent is causing people to feel sick. Outside of the tax write offs of processing damages, they don't want a dumpster diver (or additional people if the items are being resold by said diver) to get sick because of the discarded yet intact product. Not because the company cares about their wellbeing of course, probably because of potential lawsuits. So I'm sure Bath & Body Works probably has a blanket policy to destroy recalled products because usually the recall would be caused by a harmful physical reaction. Still seems super wasteful though that in this case they couldn't just temporarily remove the candles to backstock and ship the stores new labels or stickers so they could restock them once changed. Speaking of recalls, anyone with grocery store experience know how Lunchly hasn't been pulled from shelves yet? Is it because no one has reported getting sick so federal agencies aren't involved yet? And the Lunchly bros are too dumb and stubborn to voluntarily recall?
I worked at walmart for a time and they'd throw away sooo much. Cold perishables, candy, and just anything you can think of. I wasn't on the team that would throw stuff out, but I did press down used cardboard and throw it in the dumpster, often seeing the dumpsters full of food. Very dystopian I always considered. This food covered in plastic left to rot at the expense of people who can't afford it. Even me myself when working there was on food stamps and could only afford to shop there. Not only does walmart come into small town and run the local shops out of business with low prices, they raise the prices afterwards and run the town more into poverty than it already was.
Legal eagle would have a good guess to why it's a full sized prime drink. Basically, prime stopped selling really well, and they are also getting sued by a private label manufacturer. I feel that this is a last-ditch attempt at getting rid of a ton of their surplus stock.
Radioshack used to have us scrap so much stuff because of barcode or label misprints, and they also expected us to break it and throw it away. Needless to say I ended up with so many speakers, 30ft hdmi cables and routers that I'm still using like 15 years later.
i love talking about impactful teachers. my 4th grade teacher was so special to me. i was a notorious daydreamer and i would always draw on EVERYTHING. on my tests, quizzes, homework, take home papers, and he would always write notes like "love this one!" and tell me how he loved my art. he had a jungle themed classroom and he was so kind and patient. considering how i was not diagnosed with adhd yet, he adapted with it and never made me feel stupid or a nuisance. i miss him dearly :,)
Public school teacher here: Thank you for making those points, Jarvis. ❤ The good news is that more schools in CA are starting to employ serious emotional support for students and staff alike. For example, my four schools currently have counselors, psychiatrists, and mindfulness coaches. And I'm the music teacher.🎉
Yes! I live in Oregon and I was completely thrilled to learn that my daughter's school not only has a behavioral team with a licensed clinical psychologist on staff, but they also employ a behavioral specialist from stronger Oregon to come into the school three times per week to work with students that are having social and emotional issues one-on-one! On top of that, my daughter's actual school day has a portion dedicated to social emotional learning that centers on identifying feelings, learning empathy, and healthy interpersonal relationship skills! Things are changing, just very, very slowly.
Mindfulness coaches, yikes….can’t wait until mindfulness dies as a trend. It’s treated like something that works for everybody but it can be incredibly harmful, particularly for some who dissociate.
@@franjkavmindfulness isnt exactly a "trend." Its a very old practice. Of course it isn't going to help everyone but implying its a snake oil fad is disingenuous.
@@franjkav but you agree it works for some people... so why are you acting like they shouldn't exist, especially in *combination* with a bunch of other resources like she just listed.
11:30 - I used the phrase "You don't do the dishes when the house is on fire" misdirected attempts at help being harmful to the situation while I was really sick a year or two ago.
I was diagnosed with ADHD in my late 20s, currently working in the tech industry as a programmer, and trying to switch to doing TH-cam full time. This podcast has become my parasocial support group, thank you for making it ❤
55:40 as someone who's worked in a similar retail store, it's actually not surprising that employees are asked to destroy merchandise. Not an uncommon practice and suuuper wasteful. Wish there was at least some recycling program for these stores
I'd worked at walmart and we threw away enough stuff that us people unloading the trucks would just eat the broken packages instead. A broken box of goldfish or granola bars? You bet we'd be eating that
@@eon6274 We'd be able to have/purchase at an extreme discount broken items but they made us stop that too since they were worried we'd break things on purpose to get free stuff 💀
Hey just wanted to say Ro and Dogpack found what could have been the problem in the video Ro posted to TH-cam. The glue used to seal the plastic cover to the container wasn’t evenly distributed around the whole container. There was a little gap where there was no glue so it wasn’t fully sealed. That allowed air in and turned the cheese moldy. From what other people have posted about finding mold in the lunchly it appears to always be found in the same corner of just the pizza one. So it is most likely a manufacturing and packaging issue.
I got flagged as gifted because I was always extremely good at standardized tests… I did NOT get flagged as having severe adhd and depression There was nobody to do that. Fucked me all up and I never made it thru college. 🤷
It's kinda like how "you're an old soul" is what mandated reporters say to compliment obviously traumatized children they should be more concerned about
gifted children are actually labeled as “twice exceptional” meaning they don’t learn well in normal classrooms, usually due to neurodivergence, but have low support needs and can learn quicker than their peers. so essentially it’s like a free diagnosis but also in smaller schools it tends to be a “status” symbol bc obviously privileged people want their children in the class with the fanciest label
i never comment but randomly butting in to say i got diagnosed with BP2 a couple months ago at 23 and thank you jordan for always being so open about ur experience cause its genuinely helped
I was diagnosed 20 years ago at 13 and I can say the same. The under-representation of people with stigmatized diagnoses in any media just sucks. I'm glad there are more spaces like TH-cam where people can put themselves out there like this without needing to be as worried about the reaction of the wider public like a Hollywood celebrity might, but still reach tons of people.
As someone who doesn’t have it, but knows a couple of people in my life who do, I also really love Jordan’s openness. It’s great for people who have the same kind of diagnosis, but it’s also very important to explain things like that to people who don’t have it, or have no experience with others who have it. Bringing awareness is always so important. I struggle with other things the boys deal with, like ADHD, clinical anxiety and depression, and even the type of fatigue Jarvis talks about a lot. It makes me so happy to see them be so open and unashamed of who they are and the issues they deal with. It’s a small but vital step towards normalizing mental health awareness and education ❤
Lol why do I feel like the photo of the paper snowflake was AI generated? I feel like actual paper snowflakes never have so many rounded edges and perfectly circular holes like that.
Destroying-on-site is a common practice in retail for unsellable items. For something like this, it would cost the company more to ship them back and print new labels than it would to just produce new ones. Very wasteful... but YAY! CAPITALISM!! I've followed this discourse online, and I'm pretty baffled at the amount of people who don't know that this is commonplace.
I acknowledge what you’re saying haha but if the smell is strong and nice, why don’t they let the employees remove the labels and burn the candles in store 😭 make the place smell warm and inviting
@@beabeabea3candles in store is too much of a hazard i imagine. if its in an area that customers can be in, one burn and here comes a lawsuit. not to mention fire hazards, someone would have to be watching them at every given moment
@@soldiaz7261sadly at b&bw it’s not just these candles. every day there i had to pour out perfumes lotions and wallflowers and smash candles due to store policy. multiple items. every day. i just quit actually cus i felt so guilty over it 😭
@@zidian1356to be fair, bath and body works always has at least 3 people on the floor at all times and they DO burn candles in the store sometimes, so it’s not an insane suggestion
I also want to add that I really appreciate the time you took to shout out and laud our overworked and underpaid school teachers! Thankfully, the burden on teachers is being disseminated, at least here in the school district where my daughter attends, just a little bit. Her school has a behavioral health team that employs actual licensed therapists and people accredited in childhood development who are on call throughput the school day to manage any behavioral or emotional issues the kids may experience while in the classroom, along with employing a professional through a Mental Health Organization who comes in three times per week to work individually with teacher/admin referred students who are more regularly coping with behavioral or mental health related issues. Maybe best of all, my daughter's actual school day has a dedicated portion for social emotional learning which focuses on identifying feelings, learning and utilizing healthy coping skills, building empathy and developing effective interpersonal relationship skills! The school system is starting to change, we are catching up with the times in terms of education, albeit very very slowly and with far too much pushback from the folks who seem to think helping our kids learn emotional intelligence is somehow infringing on their constitutional rights LOL
When I worked in food service we would literally get yelled at if they caught us eating any of the food we were in the process of throwing away. I’d always try to sneak out perfectly good fruit and chicken tenders since I was a broke college student, but they threatened to fire people over it. It’s ridiculous
I worked at a bath and body works for a summer in college, and any time anything is defective or returned, you have to damage it out and throw it away. It’s crazy (even tho we were the only store with nice smelling trash) bc there are also cameras that you have to empty your pockets in front of and open your purse under in order to leave your shift for lunch or to go home so they know you’re not stealing even the damaged out stock 🙄
Anasthasia's misunderstanding of trypophobia is really funny as someone who has it; it's not that it all looks like eyes, it's just that the tiny clusters of holes look really, Really, skin-crawlingly gross. It's like misophonia for your skin. Also the klandle does not invoke that feeling, though the sentence 'cluster of holes' definitely does. Ew
Yeah my understanding was that it's more like the texture of stuff like sponges, coral, honeycombs, etc. than eyes specifically, or just any hole(s) anywhere.
This isn’t a new thing but just reading your comment has made me so mad??? Like did the school really want their employees to take the two dimes they pay them and pay for ink and paper????
I had the rare experience of working at my previous middle school and re-introducing myself to my beloved middle school teachers and tell them about my life now as an 25 year old. It was so surreal, but thanks ms. yarbrough and mr. foster
Shout out to my 6th grade english teacher who i was trauma dumping to through assignments before i even knew i was depressed. And my 8th grade math teacher for passing me even though i didnt do a single assignment after covid happened. I ended up dropping out and sometimes i think about them and wonder if they would be disappointed in where i am now. Im trying my best.
i don’t think they’d be disappointed-you’re trying your best and you can appreciate what they did for you. i’d certainly be proud if i was them, even if you aren’t doing as well as you’d like to.
GEDs are super valid and there are tons of resources if youre ever looking to take yours. Libraries and community colleges almost always have a program to help with GED tutoring and/or fees. Wishing you the best ❤ (I also dropped out of school due to illness, got my GED, and started college. Unfortunately there were MANY more bumps in the road, but i made it to finishing my 4 year degree (which isnt for everyone ofc but it was my goal and helpful for what i want to do))
Its awful, that woman is carrying so much of the school functions on her back...but ultimately shes being made a sucker by the state that doesnt value the school or students enough to fund those other roles with appropriate wages! Kindness is often taken advantage of nowadays and rewarded with praise instead of a wage enabling people to live well. Its extremely depressing that i see that story and am just like... ma'am, leave! You deserve better!
42:15 - 2nd year English teacher and daughter of a 27 year veteran English teacher. It’s hard, hard work. Some days I do question why I got into the trade and wonder if I made the right choice. But I always come back to the decision that I did. Teachers shaped me, my mom and otherwise. It only feels right to pay it back by supporting the next generation in any way I can. I hope to see change over the next couple decades of my career. I am making peace with the sacrifices I have to make now while doing all I can to take care of myself. But I do it in the hope that our education system is going to get better because of the kids, teachers, parents, and community members that care to work towards and support that change. Things start at a local level and I encourage you all to get involved with the education system in their community and support the teachers and students they know, as well as any legislation that will help to support their schools. ❤
I feel like the most obvious solution would be to donate the profits to a pro-black charity? That way, then you don't have to relabel them, you don't have to destroy them, but it still gets the point of "this was not intentional, we actually do like black people :)" across. If they HAD to destroy them, there was definitely a missed opportunity to burn them instead of shattering them, and have a chance to advertise by scent the same way Cinnabon does
Ours was the husband of one the favorite teachers, he would always leave little jokes and drawings on the boards for us the next day. They were both such kind fun people.
Yeah, we were always instructed and expected to be polite and friendly to the custodian in my elementary school, I do appreciate that these kids really appreciate theirs. (She does need a raise though.)
our custodian was like a mini celebrity at my school lol ❤ any time we saw him we would say hi and you were sooo lucky if he came to the classroom you were in to fix something, we would all yell HI MR GEORGE ‼️ I saw him at least 15 years after I stopped going to that school and he still remembered me 💛
“Freddy Fudpucker, that’s the game where you’re doing security video, and like…the fast bear” made me laugh so hard, I don’t know why but “the fast bear” absolutely took me out
“You’re just pretending you really believe other people are as human as you are to virtue signal!” I said we’re the same not that I’m you buddy I don’t do that. And in fact the concept of doing that, and that you’re most likely doing that to me, is vile & repugnant & hostile & terrifying,,
i was thinking that maybe the reason the kid got 3rd place is because it looks like his parents wouldve helped him make the costume? the first two kids looked like they made the costumes themselves and while its totally possible he did too, my guess is that he wouldve had more help than the other two. maybe the teachers thought it would be more fair to reward two kids for making their own costumes that the kid who mightve had his parents make most of the costume for him.
Shout-out to Mr. Vickers, who I also had. He was a crazy, fun teacher. He retired at the end of my 8th grade year. Surreal to think we had the same tech teacher lmaooo
Ugh. The shout out to public school teachers makes me cry. I could spend HOURS naming ever public school teacher I've ever had and how they have made me the person I am today
the section where they just give their favorite teachers a shoutout was already touching enough without one of them having recently passed, omg u guys my heart
Bus drivers at US schools are almost always custodians, teachers, or the lunch servers. I applied to be a lunch person at my local hs and they wanted my terrified 21 year old self to drive the bus too.
@@SarahPaceSingsthen… what’s your point? Okay? Circles ARE hard to cut, but they still didn’t use a literal paper snowflake for the packaging. Your point still stands that it doesn’t make any sense… if that’s what you’re getting at. The other person stating facts doesn’t tear the argument about it being weird down or anything lol
@@SarahPaceSingsthis isn't even playing devil's advocate, it's just pointing out that no, actually, those holes wouldn't be that hard to do in actual paper. And also that it most likely wasn't even a real paper snowflake.
I work for a label printing company that supplies bath and body works, and I do believe that the clandles and their labels were all recalled and disposed of 😂
I am in college now to become a teacher. I knew it wouldn’t be an easy job and I knew it wouldn’t pay well but I always thought that it would be worth it to do something fulfilling that I love. Now I don’t feel like I would enjoy teaching so I feel like I’ve made a big mistake and it’s too late to change because I only have a year and a half ledt.
Use to work as a manager at a Spar store in the UK, we pretty much gave up ordering grated mozzarella from our supply as a good 30% of the bags would have mould inside within a week, even sent several boxes back because 4 of the 6 packs were mainly mould
I feel like the wild part of the lunchly thing is that this isn't even the first 'lets give this a shot' video I've seen where that product was moldy!!
The way I gasped when Anastasia shouted out her 7th grade English teacher named Mrs. Able. I had a 6th grade English teacher with the same name and while I doubt it, it makes me feel like we went to the same school and that's cool
Fell asleep last night listening to a Sad Boyz playlist. Had a dream where me, Jarvis, and Jordan walked around Walmart and commented on the items on the shelves. We talked about solo cups for a long time
@22:10 while it is most likely a manufacturer error, its still something someone has tied their brand too and you have to do due diligence when making a perishable. Take the pickle girl or picklemeeverything, she may not have done anything maliciously and just genuinely wanted to make something good her reputation was shredded
McVities chocolate digestives are still a treat for me because they're SO EXPENSIVE but lush. I don't like the off brand versions (but get mostly own brand stuff in general).
Lmao not me finding a moldy piece of zucchini in my Chinese takeout during the Ro Pansino segment 😂 I've eaten there before, so I can only assume I've been cursed by the beast remotely 😅
Regarding the white mage outfit, you could have probably dyed it another color. Or cut it up for scraps for art projects/cleaning/dusting but totally understandable if you weren't up for it
1:07:11 Yeah…. the KKK does actually use that type of naming system for their stuff. Like, the Klalendar and the Klongregation and stuff. Extremely stupid, but rolls off the tongue in a weird way
I don't dislike Anastasia, but I started listening to the pod because I enjoyed Jarvis and Jordan's conversations so much, and it definitely has a different energy with Anastasia as a third host
I graduated high school in 2015, and only went to college for like a year and a half, but I definitely still think about a LOT of the teachers I’ve had, from elementary school to college professors. I think if I had to pick a favorite teacher (which is hard, because there’s many I am very fond of, who definitely inspired me and made me who I am today 🥺), I’d have to shout out my middle and high school art teacher, Mr, Brown. That man poured so much of himself into his job. He was the *only* art teacher for *ALL* of 6th through 12th grade at my school… and he paid sooooooo much out of pocket for art supplies (which are NOT cheap 😳), and had so little support from the school. He was given a tiny ass classroom at the back of the temporary trailer our school had for like 4 years, until the second building was made. He was so damn passionate about not just making his own art, but making sure all of us could take lessons from his class, and apply it to most things in life. It really felt like more of a philosophical, introspective class that happened to also be art. He had a habit of telling life stories while we worked on assignments, kind of to keep us engaged while we were drawing, painting, molding clay, etc. he’d also try to figure out what each class, and each individual student was most passionate about, and try to tailor projects around that. So if most of us really preferred acrylic paint, we’d spend a decent amount of time on that. If even one student liked charcoal sketching, we’d all be trying that, and he’d encourage us to just do the absolute best we could. One of my best buds from childhood is color blind, and when we were coloring in a color wheel, he specifically said to him that he could color it whatever way looked correct to *him* even if it didn’t match anyone else’s. He wanted to make my friend feel included and that being color blind wasn’t a bad thing, just a unique difference 🥺 That man was like a counselor, and would often offer life advice or tell his own life stories and the things he’d learned in life. Not because he felt pressured to, but because he wanted us to all become well rounded, open minded people, who could hopefully learn from his own mistakes so we wouldn’t have to go through them too. That man absolutely inspired me to make art, and to just keep making it, even if it isn’t perfect. Because there’s no such thing as perfect. What matters is what you put into it and being authentic 🥹❤️ The man was devastatingly underpaid and under appreciated. I think he may *still* be working there, and I just wish him and all the other teachers had more support and funding. 😔
100%. Going with a secondary character from M Night Shyamalan's third-best movie is a heckuva choice. (I'm aware Glass shows up in the other movies, geeze)
That was my first thought too. Also, I genuinely think Unbreakable is an underrated movie, but it has been a couple decades since I last saw it, so who knows.
Thanks for talking about your teachers. Im getting my masters in Ed right now and it honestly feels so hard sometimes that I don't know why I try, so thank you for the nice stories :-)
This is one of the few things on TH-cam that I watch regularly that every single episode, without fail, will make me laugh suddenly and very loudly, you know the kind of laugh that sounds like a bark? Yeah. I love these guys. Yall are making me wanna get back into MTG bc I know there's at least 4 or 5 ppl at the local card shop w similar personalities and senses of humor that I could befriend so I could stop being parasocial here.

Bath and Body works is the same 16 scents some poor underpaid marketing team is forced to resell and resticker every year. They've stolen slogans from influencers and pop culture without collabing and they don't have to do any of it. Just sell the same scents rotated seasonally with the same names so people can refind them. Trying to find the same scent you liked last year is an AI written smell description hell I refuse to put myself through. I'd rather pour molten wax on my carpet.

Well, the paneling was a little crooked and in the back, the way the arches met looked like clear balls and c**k and you could see it the whole time during their pilot testing for the show she was working on at the time. It was an easy fix but still, you always got to be careful LOLOL
little bad guys.... I can't- but this comment is right- we need more checkers or just younger people
As soon as I saw the candle in the thumbnail it reminded me of the meme of any instance of 5 black things & 1 white thing reminding people of that one thumbnail for a gangbang porno, except instead of it being silly observational humor it's people finding accidental racism.
The funny thing about Lunchables vs Lunchly in terms of the drink situation, some Lunchables DO come with a little plastic bottle of ice mountain water and a Kool aid packet to mix in, and the boxes are just...structurally sound and packed tight enough that the bottle isn't smacking around in the box.
One thing about those though, the water tastes TERRIBLE by itself. I don't know what they do to that water but it tastes like lotion. You HAVE to mix in the kool-aid to make the water taste edible. So... even when lunchables pulls a packaging win, their food is still awful. The kids can't even opt for a healthier variation if they want to and ignore the koolaid packet. I should know, I was one of those kids. I tried. Everytime I ended up having to pour in the kool-aid. Better to just give your kids a regular lunchables and stick a water bottle in the lunch box.

I work at a Bath & Body Works. My store never got these candles in, so I didn’t hear anything about them until a couple days ago. But the smashing candles thing is what we always do with non-sellable candles in store (label misprints, returned after being burned a little, etc). We put them in the paper bags, staple them shut, then smash them on the floor and throw them in the trash. Being able to smash a candle - especially in the middle of a long, stressful shift - can be pretty fun tbh! But for the quantity of candles that they had to get rid of for this, I agree it’s extremely wasteful.
oh my gosh that's awful 😭 if they're being thrown away, just take them home. the fact companies have rules like that (like throwing away food or clothing too) just baffles me. let your employees have a free treat. melt the candle and recycle the jar? idk there's just better ways but the companies wanna save money and don't see a few candles as worth that effort.
sorry for hijacking your comment this was just baffling for me to realize about candles lol
@@pochaccocinoIf you let your employees take them, then they will end up selling them privately and "stealing" profits that your business deemed not worth it.
We can't have employees making any more money than the measly minimum wage they deserve
As someone else who also used to work at bath and body works, I wanted to add that when we would get returned product that was too old/not sellable anymore but wasn't damaged (or if there was a seasonal product rhat didnt sell well even when put on clearance), we would box it up and about twice a year, they'd let employees fill a medium bag with as much of that product as they want for $5. They should have done that with these candles
I've worked there previously too and it wasn't just candles, pretty much any broken, unsellable item would be thrown. For soaps we would dump them down the drain and for creams and stuff we would just throw them in the trash. It's so wasteful in general. Smashing the candles was fun but eventually they stopped letting us do that.
i hate it when companies destroy perfectly usable things just because they can't sell it. we do this at old navy too with clothes that are damaged. except a lot of times the "damage" is a tiny imperfection, or it's something someone wore/tried on and then returned dirty. we have to take fabric scissors and cut everything up so no one can take anything usable out of the trash. sucks to destroy things that literally just need to be washed.
It’s so uncommon to make little circles in paper snowflakes… because you usually use just scissors. To make the circles you’d need to add a hole puncher
most people do squares and triangles
Yeah any time I would try, it would come out looking weird so triangles were just better
I’ve done circles with scissors before
I would always immediately go to curved shapes
Teacher here. I felt every bit of that. Every single day I have to act as: a teacher, a mediator, a therapist, a secretary, a project manager. I have to work outside of my hours in order to complete even a fraction of what the district and admin expect me to do: lesson planning, grading, data collection, PTCs, parent communication, prepping lesson materials.
And I can't even afford to live in a studio apartment on my own without having a second job.
Godspeed. Teachers deserve so much more than just a “thanks for what you do! 👍🏻” and a criminally low pay.
So many of us owe a lot of who we are and our accomplishments to the teachers in our lives.
I definitely was inspired and encouraged by most of my elementary teachers, my middle and high school art teacher, a couple of my English teachers, a history teacher, and 6th grade math teacher (specifically her, because every teacher after her was incredibly mean to me, and I was later diagnosed with autism ☹️ She was the last math teacher who took her time and made sure every single student understood and didn’t feel dumb 🥺)
I will always always remember them, and almost everyone has teachers they remember really well, who influenced them tremendously.
I hope your students see all that you do for them, and I also hope society in general gets its shit together and supports teachers more ❤🫶🏻
Thank you for what you do; for your hard work and dedication. You make such a difference in the lives of youth.
I respect you.
I am an army brat so I grew up with DODEA schools (schools on military bases) and they sucked. I had some great teachers and some not so great teachers but it was not uncommon for one teacher to teach multiple classes. For instance, my brother's English teacher was also his calculus teacher because she had a minor in elementary mathematic and that was the only option. Because these schools are overseas for the most part, DODEA (funded by department of defense) thought it was too expensive to hire and move a teacher that actually had the qualifications so they went with the next best option. My teachers were under qualified and/or burnt out immensely because of this. It's just wrong and teachers deserve so much more just for having to deal with bratty kids much less everything else they do on top of that
Exactly, and I'm guessing it might be the same elsewhere but in my country, a teaching degree is pretty tough. You can't even apply if you didn't pass HS (at least for people going straight from hs to uni? Dunno what its like for older people), and yet the pay is still obscene.
Anastasia saying 'do you know about the goonch?" Made me fucking cackle
WTF is a "goonch"?
@@drewgoin8849this guy doesn't know about the goonch
I laughed aloud with such a sudden jolt that I spilt my craft supplies.
From what i can remember off the top of my head the goonch species of catfish has never been actually recorded to have bitten someone in half, its just an urban legend (apologies im autistic over catish and sharks, my source comes from avnj and my memory so i could very well be wrong)
I’m 100% sure that she def remembered goo chi from River Monaters with Jeremy Wade bc of how she brought it up seeing the fishing pole, and that’s hilarious bc me and my bf also reference the gooonch monthly bc he says “the goonch” at minimum a dozen times in that show
Former retail worker here: Usually any time a product is recalled, you have to destroy it by breaking it. A lot of times it makes sense if the product was recalled because the dye is causing a rash or the scent is causing people to feel sick. Outside of the tax write offs of processing damages, they don't want a dumpster diver (or additional people if the items are being resold by said diver) to get sick because of the discarded yet intact product. Not because the company cares about their wellbeing of course, probably because of potential lawsuits. So I'm sure Bath & Body Works probably has a blanket policy to destroy recalled products because usually the recall would be caused by a harmful physical reaction.
Still seems super wasteful though that in this case they couldn't just temporarily remove the candles to backstock and ship the stores new labels or stickers so they could restock them once changed.
Speaking of recalls, anyone with grocery store experience know how Lunchly hasn't been pulled from shelves yet? Is it because no one has reported getting sick so federal agencies aren't involved yet? And the Lunchly bros are too dumb and stubborn to voluntarily recall?
I’m not really involved in Lunchly News, but I saw a post on Twitter by a Kroger employee that said they were taking them off shelves.
The company itself hasn’t issued a recall but stores are taking the off shelves because of the mold
I worked at walmart for a time and they'd throw away sooo much. Cold perishables, candy, and just anything you can think of. I wasn't on the team that would throw stuff out, but I did press down used cardboard and throw it in the dumpster, often seeing the dumpsters full of food. Very dystopian I always considered. This food covered in plastic left to rot at the expense of people who can't afford it. Even me myself when working there was on food stamps and could only afford to shop there. Not only does walmart come into small town and run the local shops out of business with low prices, they raise the prices afterwards and run the town more into poverty than it already was.
Legal eagle would have a good guess to why it's a full sized prime drink. Basically, prime stopped selling really well, and they are also getting sued by a private label manufacturer. I feel that this is a last-ditch attempt at getting rid of a ton of their surplus stock.
Yeahhh that checks out knowing that an overstock store in my city has whole boxes of them lmao
Once the hype wore off kids realized it tastes like crap 😂
Radioshack used to have us scrap so much stuff because of barcode or label misprints, and they also expected us to break it and throw it away. Needless to say I ended up with so many speakers, 30ft hdmi cables and routers that I'm still using like 15 years later.
Ah.. to be born 20 years earlier and have worked at Radio Shack. If only. I could have had so many hdmi cables

i love talking about impactful teachers. my 4th grade teacher was so special to me. i was a notorious daydreamer and i would always draw on EVERYTHING. on my tests, quizzes, homework, take home papers, and he would always write notes like "love this one!" and tell me how he loved my art. he had a jungle themed classroom and he was so kind and patient. considering how i was not diagnosed with adhd yet, he adapted with it and never made me feel stupid or a nuisance. i miss him dearly :,)
those gentle teachers really do have an impact on our lives, I'm glad you had such a special one
Mine was my 7th grade history teacher. He made history actually fun to learn and was really passionate about it
Public school teacher here: Thank you for making those points, Jarvis. ❤ The good news is that more schools in CA are starting to employ serious emotional support for students and staff alike. For example, my four schools currently have counselors, psychiatrists, and mindfulness coaches. And I'm the music teacher.🎉
Yes! I live in Oregon and I was completely thrilled to learn that my daughter's school not only has a behavioral team with a licensed clinical psychologist on staff, but they also employ a behavioral specialist from stronger Oregon to come into the school three times per week to work with students that are having social and emotional issues one-on-one! On top of that, my daughter's actual school day has a portion dedicated to social emotional learning that centers on identifying feelings, learning empathy, and healthy interpersonal relationship skills! Things are changing, just very, very slowly.
Mindfulness coaches, yikes….can’t wait until mindfulness dies as a trend. It’s treated like something that works for everybody but it can be incredibly harmful, particularly for some who dissociate.
We had counselors at my high school and it made a world of difference for me! Hopefully more schools will have resources soon.

Funnily enough, this comment is how I realized I forgot to subscribe to you. Really like your vids, not too surprised you also watch Sad Boyz
I am in my twenties and just got diagnosed with ADHD 2 days ago. This comment is incredibly relatable to me right now.
I wasn't diagnosed until I was 33! It really is life-changing
55:40 as someone who's worked in a similar retail store, it's actually not surprising that employees are asked to destroy merchandise. Not an uncommon practice and suuuper wasteful. Wish there was at least some recycling program for these stores
I'd worked at walmart and we threw away enough stuff that us people unloading the trucks would just eat the broken packages instead. A broken box of goldfish or granola bars? You bet we'd be eating that
@@eon6274 We'd be able to have/purchase at an extreme discount broken items but they made us stop that too since they were worried we'd break things on purpose to get free stuff 💀
Hey just wanted to say Ro and Dogpack found what could have been the problem in the video Ro posted to TH-cam.
The glue used to seal the plastic cover to the container wasn’t evenly distributed around the whole container. There was a little gap where there was no glue so it wasn’t fully sealed. That allowed air in and turned the cheese moldy. From what other people have posted about finding mold in the lunchly it appears to always be found in the same corner of just the pizza one.
So it is most likely a manufacturing and packaging issue.
I got flagged as gifted because I was always extremely good at standardized tests…

The REAL meaning of "gifted kid": "a young person who has a significantly higher likelihood of being burnt out by the age of 21"
It's kinda like how "you're an old soul" is what mandated reporters say to compliment obviously traumatized children they should be more concerned about
Procrastinators Central
gifted children are actually labeled as “twice exceptional” meaning they don’t learn well in normal classrooms, usually due to neurodivergence, but have low support needs and can learn quicker than their peers. so essentially it’s like a free diagnosis but also in smaller schools it tends to be a “status” symbol bc obviously privileged people want their children in the class with the fanciest label
Oh my God that's so real(I am))
@@thatbribby gifted kids aren’t always 2e. 2e specifically means giftedness + a neurodevelopmental disorder.
i never comment but randomly butting in to say i got diagnosed with BP2 a couple months ago at 23 and thank you jordan for always being so open about ur experience cause its genuinely helped
I was diagnosed 20 years ago at 13 and I can say the same. The under-representation of people with stigmatized diagnoses in any media just sucks. I'm glad there are more spaces like TH-cam where people can put themselves out there like this without needing to be as worried about the reaction of the wider public like a Hollywood celebrity might, but still reach tons of people.
As someone who doesn’t have it, but knows a couple of people in my life who do, I also really love Jordan’s openness. It’s great for people who have the same kind of diagnosis, but it’s also very important to explain things like that to people who don’t have it, or have no experience with others who have it. Bringing awareness is always so important.
I struggle with other things the boys deal with, like ADHD, clinical anxiety and depression, and even the type of fatigue Jarvis talks about a lot. It makes me so happy to see them be so open and unashamed of who they are and the issues they deal with.
It’s a small but vital step towards normalizing mental health awareness and education ❤
They initially scoffed at the “does the work of 5 men” but she literally does 😅
Lol why do I feel like the photo of the paper snowflake was AI generated? I feel like actual paper snowflakes never have so many rounded edges and perfectly circular holes like that.

I spilt my tray of beads at Anastasia so casually dropping "y'all know the goonch?". How am i supposed to craft under these conditions.
Destroying-on-site is a common practice in retail for unsellable items. For something like this, it would cost the company more to ship them back and print new labels than it would to just produce new ones. Very wasteful... but YAY! CAPITALISM!!
I've followed this discourse online, and I'm pretty baffled at the amount of people who don't know that this is commonplace.

So many of his comments slip under the radar.
I also want to add that I really appreciate the time you took to shout out and laud our overworked and underpaid school teachers! Thankfully, the burden on teachers is being disseminated, at least here in the school district where my daughter attends, just a little bit. Her school has a behavioral health team that employs actual licensed therapists and people accredited in childhood development who are on call throughput the school day to manage any behavioral or emotional issues the kids may experience while in the classroom, along with employing a professional through a Mental Health Organization who comes in three times per week to work individually with teacher/admin referred students who are more regularly coping with behavioral or mental health related issues. Maybe best of all, my daughter's actual school day has a dedicated portion for social emotional learning which focuses on identifying feelings, learning and utilizing healthy coping skills, building empathy and developing effective interpersonal relationship skills! The school system is starting to change, we are catching up with the times in terms of education, albeit very very slowly and with far too much pushback from the folks who seem to think helping our kids learn emotional intelligence is somehow infringing on their constitutional rights LOL
When I worked in food service we would literally get yelled at if they caught us eating any of the food we were in the process of throwing away. I’d always try to sneak out perfectly good fruit and chicken tenders since I was a broke college student, but they threatened to fire people over it. It’s ridiculous
TGI Fridays is how I found out my ex was stealing hundreds of dollars from me after we broke up
how?! oh my god im so sorry that happened- I have so many questions!!
Excuse me??? I need this story immediately (if you feel comfortable sharing)
you cant just drop that bomb on us without an ounce of context
Commenting so I'm informed if we ever get an answer.
Makes zero sense and you have zero context on purpose 🙄
I worked at a bath and body works for a summer in college, and any time anything is defective or returned, you have to damage it out and throw it away. It’s crazy (even tho we were the only store with nice smelling trash) bc there are also cameras that you have to empty your pockets in front of and open your purse under in order to leave your shift for lunch or to go home so they know you’re not stealing even the damaged out stock 🙄
Anasthasia's misunderstanding of trypophobia is really funny as someone who has it; it's not that it all looks like eyes, it's just that the tiny clusters of holes look really, Really, skin-crawlingly gross. It's like misophonia for your skin. Also the klandle does not invoke that feeling, though the sentence 'cluster of holes' definitely does. Ew
Yeah my understanding was that it's more like the texture of stuff like sponges, coral, honeycombs, etc. than eyes specifically, or just any hole(s) anywhere.
I made the mistake of hitting the search next to the word, hoping for Wikipedia, and got skin crawling stuff instead
It took me a while to notice it but as soon as I saw what was wrong with the candles I audibly gasped.
I remember when my school started charging teachers to print handouts. Ink and paper. We were not digital yet
This isn’t a new thing but just reading your comment has made me so mad??? Like did the school really want their employees to take the two dimes they pay them and pay for ink and paper????

Its awful, that woman is carrying so much of the school functions on her back...but ultimately shes being made a sucker by the state that doesnt value the school or students enough to fund those other roles with appropriate wages!

42:15 - 2nd year English teacher and daughter of a 27 year veteran English teacher. It’s hard, hard work. Some days I do question why I got into the trade and wonder if I made the right choice. But I always come back to the decision that I did. Teachers shaped me, my mom and otherwise. It only feels right to pay it back by supporting the next generation in any way I can. I hope to see change over the next couple decades of my career. I am making peace with the sacrifices I have to make now while doing all I can to take care of myself. But I do it in the hope that our education system is going to get better because of the kids, teachers, parents, and community members that care to work towards and support that change. Things start at a local level and I encourage you all to get involved with the education system in their community and support the teachers and students they know, as well as any legislation that will help to support their schools. ❤
I feel like the most obvious solution would be to donate the profits to a pro-black charity? That way, then you don't have to relabel them, you don't have to destroy them, but it still gets the point of "this was not intentional, we actually do like black people :)" across.
If they HAD to destroy them, there was definitely a missed opportunity to burn them instead of shattering them, and have a chance to advertise by scent the same way Cinnabon does

My elementary school janitor was also beloved by the kids. He was such a sweet man, we always said hello to him and he gave us high fives.
Ours was the husband of one the favorite teachers, he would always leave little jokes and drawings on the boards for us the next day. They were both such kind fun people.
Yeah, we were always instructed and expected to be polite and friendly to the custodian in my elementary school, I do appreciate that these kids really appreciate theirs. (She does need a raise though.)

our custodian was like a mini celebrity at my school lol ❤ any time we saw him we would say hi and you were sooo lucky if he came to the classroom you were in to fix something, we would all yell HI MR GEORGE ‼️ I saw him at least 15 years after I stopped going to that school and he still remembered me 💛

It's also possible somebody in charge of determining the winners was really, really puritanical and thought the costume to be too vulgar.

Fell asleep last night listening to a Sad Boyz playlist. Had a dream where me, Jarvis, and Jordan walked around Walmart and commented on the items on the shelves. We talked about solo cups for a long time
I got a Ground News notification about TGI Fridays filing for bankruptcy protection, while watching this. 😳
We really are in a simulation. 😅😅
@22:10 while it is most likely a manufacturer error, its still something someone has tied their brand too and you have to do due diligence when making a perishable. Take the pickle girl or picklemeeverything, she may not have done anything maliciously and just genuinely wanted to make something good her reputation was shredded
McVities chocolate digestives are still a treat for me because they're SO EXPENSIVE but lush. I don't like the off brand versions (but get mostly own brand stuff in general).
3:48 I love that about life, at any point in a convo my brain goes “everything they’re saying could be a lie and you’ll never know”🤣
Lmao not me finding a moldy piece of zucchini in my Chinese takeout during the Ro Pansino segment 😂
I've eaten there before, so I can only assume I've been cursed by the beast remotely 😅
Regarding the white mage outfit, you could have probably dyed it another color. Or cut it up for scraps for art projects/cleaning/dusting but totally understandable if you weren't up for it
1:07:11 Yeah…. the KKK does actually use that type of naming system for their stuff. Like, the Klalendar and the Klongregation and stuff. Extremely stupid, but rolls off the tongue in a weird way
I don't dislike Anastasia, but I started listening to the pod because I enjoyed Jarvis and Jordan's conversations so much, and it definitely has a different energy with Anastasia as a third host
So excited to hear about Jordan's channel posting more! Looking forward to it! ❤
I graduated high school in 2015, and only went to college for like a year and a half, but I definitely still think about a LOT of the teachers I’ve had, from elementary school to college professors.
I think if I had to pick a favorite teacher (which is hard, because there’s many I am very fond of, who definitely inspired me and made me who I am today 🥺), I’d have to shout out my middle and high school art teacher, Mr, Brown.
That man poured so much of himself into his job. He was the *only* art teacher for *ALL* of 6th through 12th grade at my school… and he paid sooooooo much out of pocket for art supplies (which are NOT cheap 😳), and had so little support from the school. He was given a tiny ass classroom at the back of the temporary trailer our school had for like 4 years, until the second building was made. He was so damn passionate about not just making his own art, but making sure all of us could take lessons from his class, and apply it to most things in life. It really felt like more of a philosophical, introspective class that happened to also be art.
He had a habit of telling life stories while we worked on assignments, kind of to keep us engaged while we were drawing, painting, molding clay, etc.
he’d also try to figure out what each class, and each individual student was most passionate about, and try to tailor projects around that. So if most of us really preferred acrylic paint, we’d spend a decent amount of time on that. If even one student liked charcoal sketching, we’d all be trying that, and he’d encourage us to just do the absolute best we could.
One of my best buds from childhood is color blind, and when we were coloring in a color wheel, he specifically said to him that he could color it whatever way looked correct to *him* even if it didn’t match anyone else’s. He wanted to make my friend feel included and that being color blind wasn’t a bad thing, just a unique difference 🥺
That man was like a counselor, and would often offer life advice or tell his own life stories and the things he’d learned in life. Not because he felt pressured to, but because he wanted us to all become well rounded, open minded people, who could hopefully learn from his own mistakes so we wouldn’t have to go through them too.
That man absolutely inspired me to make art, and to just keep making it, even if it isn’t perfect. Because there’s no such thing as perfect. What matters is what you put into it and being authentic 🥹❤️
The man was devastatingly underpaid and under appreciated.
I think he may *still* be working there, and I just wish him and all the other teachers had more support and funding. 😔
Never did I think I’d see Jarvis Johnson: Graphic design review
Middle costume is Mr. Glass I believe
100%. Going with a secondary character from M Night Shyamalan's third-best movie is a heckuva choice.
(I'm aware Glass shows up in the other movies, geeze)
That was my first thought too.
Also, I genuinely think Unbreakable is an underrated movie, but it has been a couple decades since I last saw it, so who knows.
Ohhhh.
Thanks for talking about your teachers. Im getting my masters in Ed right now and it honestly feels so hard sometimes that I don't know why I try, so thank you for the nice stories :-)
Roses are blue?
Roses are blue.
Roses are blue!
OMG ITS JOHNSON AND JOHNSON
My parents met a tgi fridays so i guess the singles really did mingle
5:35 FNAF MENTIONED 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥‼‼‼‼‼‼‼
FUCK I WAS GONNA COMMENT THIS..
😭😭
This is one of the few things on TH-cam that I watch regularly that every single episode, without fail, will make me laugh suddenly and very loudly, you know the kind of laugh that sounds like a bark? Yeah. I love these guys. Yall are making me wanna get back into MTG bc I know there's at least 4 or 5 ppl at the local card shop w similar personalities and senses of humor that I could befriend so I could stop being parasocial here. But... this is free and MTG is a financial drain. 😂
Bath and Body works is the same 16 scents some poor underpaid marketing team is forced to resell and resticker every year. They've stolen slogans from influencers and pop culture without collabing and they don't have to do any of it. Just sell the same scents rotated seasonally with the same names so people can refind them. Trying to find the same scent you liked last year is an AI written smell description hell I refuse to put myself through. I'd rather pour molten wax on my carpet.
omfg i love this podcast so much, helps pass the time during my boring retail job. 🖤🖤
31:25 Allowing your kid to play GTA but not watch South Park, I wish they elaborated on that more bc that’s such a weird concept to me
55:05 NOOO WHY DO THEY SIT THE EXACT SAME
"i would hope it smells like snow"... jarvis, my friend, snow shouldn't smell...
I worked retail and the company I worked for had cameras on us when we destroyed “damaged” items to ensure we were indeed breaking and trashing them.
29:15 “There’s a giant catfish that does chomp people in half”
**ad**
“WHAT DOES CATFISH TASTE LIKE?”
i started watching this and for some reason it was set to 2x speed and for a little there i thought the intro was just Like That like an artistic choice 😭
