Confronting Jerks

my wife had a confrontation with a woman. in a grocery store over perfume let's. talk about. [Music]. that good mythical morning okay so. something happened to me well happened. to my wife and included me that I want. to share with you and get a little. conversation I think there may be some. conclusions for us to reach collectively. I love conclusions um we were coming. home from somewhere in the mini van I.

was driving with the kid being the. perfect father up we need some. marshmallows and some cereal don't we. all oh marshmallows for what so we uh. actually for sculpture that the kids. were doing involves toothpicks it's it's. another story entirely uh we'll wear a. strange family but what are you so we. pull into the Ralphs and I'm like okay I. don't know what to say to that that's a. teaser stick around um we pull into the. Ral and I'm like all right Christy I'm. just going to sit in the car with the. kids like always do when you're going to.

go to the grocery stores no need to take. the whole family and Tow in there that's. a bunch of Havoc me um now typically. what happens when Christy comes back out. of the grocery store I'm the one who. looks like I've been put through the. ringer after spending like 18 minutes. with three kids at each other's throats. in a hot minivan you know you should. need take them on a drive take them on. Drive roll the windows down and Christy. I did roll the windows down but christe. wouldn't know where to find me um so but.

this time when christe came out I could. tell by the look on her face that she. had just been through something okay so. I'm like she gets in the front I was. like what's wrong it was really crowded. in there she was like no I just had this. very weird confrontation I'm like what. happened what happened confrontation. this is what happened she's on an aisle. walking I guess getting some cereal and. then all of a sudden she hears in a very. loud. voice I can smell your perfume from way. over here.

she turns around. what halfway down the aisle there is a. woman who has removed one earbud and is. staring at my. wife and I was like what did you say. Chris's like I said excuse. me the woman says I can smell your. perfume from way over. here and then Chrissy's. like I'm not wearing any perfume.

and the woman's like you don't have to. get defensive I mean it smells good I. can just smell it from way over. here this woman was crazy and then. Christy was this is like a 40-year-old. woman and like yoga pants oh yeah you. got to watch. those and so then Chrissy's like no I. don't wear perfume because it gives my. husband a. headache true and then she it is true. and then she's like.

puts the earbud back in and turns and. starts pulling a magazine off the. magazine rack starts reading it well I. can smell somebody's perfume she didn't. say that she didn't I don't know who it. is and then Christie what kind of person. does this continues out of there and. then gets back to car I'm. like that that's that's all you said I. was like my my first reaction was oh I. you know I would have said why I can. smell your bad attitude from way over. here and I wouldn't have said bad I. would have said another b word cuz I. would have just Unleashed it you.

wouldn't have done you would have never. done that no I wouldn't have you're. right r i the more I thought about it. did you go back in I no I didn't go back. in I was I was I was bum falls out in. the car her telling me the story and we. were driving away at that point oh I. turn around y pants where's that 40 old. woman yger pants earbuds you smelling my. wife's non-existent perfume huh you want. to fight you want to fight me huh that's. what I would have done well I thought if. I were in her shoes what I would do and. that no I wouldn't have lashed back out. at her I would have probably done what. Chris excuse me what well and just left.

it at that and I got to admit that. that's what I would have done I mean. just recently when we went to Sundance. there was that I was walking down the. street and and the dude just. says I'm walking down the sidewalk he's. walking up the sidewalk and as he gets. right in front of me he looks at me in. the eye and he says why don't you tease. that hair up a little bit more I heard. this and then he keeps going by and I. look at I look at you and you're just. like I don't stop at all I'm just. like h.

you didn't say anything nothing and I. again I I don't know I think it's where. we're from like you know it isn't that. if I if I can stop and plan a. confrontation and like I'm going to. confront this person at 300 p.m. after. school or whatever I can kind of meet me. behind the Ralphs I can do that I'll be. the woman with all the cereal but in the. moment I am never capable of coming up. with anything Snappy to say now you know. my sister-in-law yeah as yeah she is.

great at this I've seen it happen before. I can't I don't have a for instance but. in in my my wife has seen it more often. than she has so a lot of times it'll be. like a guy who's like kind of hitting on. her or saying something kind of. flirtatious or something just just kind. of you know inappropriate and she always. has these incredible comebacks and the. guy's like it doesn't know what to do. I'm like how does she do that she's. she's at the ready she's got this little. arsenal of comebacks I think I think. that's the question exactly is that you. know because none of us would have said.

anything to that woman differently than. what Christy said I know I wouldn't you. said you wouldn't but is it the type of. thing that we should be ready to. counteract the rudess yes and be totally. there yes well let me present the other. side because I I don't think so you can. let me know what you think because at. best case someone who says something. rude like that is just having a really. bad day you know okay we've all had our. bad days maybe we've said things we. typically say things we shouldn't say to. our loved ones but not total strangers.

which is the sad fact but maybe this. person best case is just having a bad. day just let the storm blow over and. don't make it worse for it worst case. though think about this R worst case. this person is mentally unstable I mean. this is Los Angeles there's all types. what she GNA do wrap her earbud around. your neck and choke you yes I mean I it. dude it's say this woman you don't think. a earbud could choke you you well. potentially you hands in the right hands. you don't think that there's yoga pants. wearing women in Angeles who'd want to.

come up behind you well. okay potentially but I honestly feel you. got you got to watch I don't believe in. you just can't be confront it's like. road rage you can't be confrontational I. don't want to be the person who. instigates these kinds of things but a. woman or a man anyone who has the. gumption to stop what they're doing pull. the earbud out smell you from a distance. and didn't even smell you and says I can. smell you that person is not having a. bad day that person is having a bad life.

that person is that they may be messed. up in the head but I'll tell you one. thing they need to know that that's. inappropriate I'm not saying I would. have done it but what I think your wife. should have done and I wouldn't have. done it but if like you could go back in. time I'd be like excuse me walk up there. in her face and be like can you say that. again and she's like I can smell your. can you smell it now let's role play. Let's role play no but my point is so. the whole point of this to decide ask me. if you can smell ITF you're going to do. it tell me you can smell a I can smell.

your perfume from way over here excuse. me what' you say I said I can smell your. perfume from way over here can you smell. it now no smell smell it now I can't. smell it you know why cuz I don't wear. perfume and it's entirely inappropriate. to point somebody out you know what. let's me and you let's go find the. person who's wearing that perfume what. do you want to do to him you want to. beat him up let's go beat somebody up is. that what you're looking for what would. that person do that person would be like. I'm never saying that again be hey and I. believe that that is the right thing to. do my weightlifting husband come over.

here and smash this punk in the face you. know you're mentally unstable just like. me right Larry come over here and then. all of a sudden Larry's mentally. unstable all in your face he's shirtless. and he's cutting you with like no I run. Cal incredibly fast if Larry comes. around the corner then I run but I'm. just saying in general I think that we. should be prepared you should have you. should be on the ready and are you're. saying you need to do that and order to.

Short Circuit these people to teach them. a lesson so they don't keep doing it I. admire that but I just think the risk is. crazy now sometimes you pull out in. front of somebody they've got road rage. they want to engage you they roll down. your window at that point I think you. should just look straight on and just. diffuse the situation but this thing. about the perfume this is crazy town. this person needs to be put in their. place op I I think your your um your. your um position yeah is about. self-satisfaction. I I wanted to feel good I wanted I.

wanted Christy to feel better about this. situation by giving her a piece of her. mind well let's do this I think that we. should be ready and we should role play. a little bit and Good Mythical More We. Will role play a little bit you can. insult my hair and I'm going to come up. with something I'll insult something. about you you come up with something and. we'll just have something just in case. we have to we have to bring this out in. real life okay Thanks for liking and. commenting on this episode go to. netflix.com rlink get a free trial. support the show you know what time it. is I am a man from Alberta Canada it's.
