Speaker 1:

You are listening to the Double A Club and this is your host, ny Boom, and my co-host, big Daz. We'll be talking about trending topics in healthcare and basically, just as a disclaimer just to let the listeners know that this is just basically on our opinions and speculations and I hope you guys enjoy the show. Let's start off and kick off with our first topic.

Speaker 2:

And this company is called Packers Sanitation Services who was ordered to pay $1.5 million in civil penalty? Now talk about possession. This fucking company has to be possessed for fucking hiring 102 fucking miners.

Speaker 3:

And their name is Packers.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, Packers Sanitation Service.

Speaker 3:

Hmm, that's funny. Okay, go ahead.

Speaker 2:

They had miners employed in hazardous occupations. These kids were cleaning meat processing equipment, back saws, brisket saws, head splitters. Several children received chemical burns to their faces and body and also several injuries.

Speaker 3:

Wow, you've been given no fucks.

Speaker 2:

No fucks given, bro, so I hope that the court system gives the same no fucks when they fucking order this company to pay these fines. So continuing right. The US Department of Labor discovered this through their investigation. The company PSSI, which is Packer Sanitation Services, whatever has 432 plants and had children employed in eight different states.

Speaker 3:

Wow In the US.

Speaker 2:

In the US. In the US yes, eight different states in the US 432 plants and employed children in eight of these goddamn states Minors. These kids are under the age of 17. 13 to 17 years old that was the age range that they found these kids. Wow, the teachers from the schools. The teachers from the schools noticed that these kids came out and stated that the kids would come to school with acid burns on their hands and feet and a lot of times they would be exhausted and sleeping in class because they worked overnight.

Speaker 3:

Wow.

Speaker 2:

Now I know the company is to take full blame on this, Like majority of the blame, but what the fuck is up with the goddamn parents, bro, Like seriously. I know I have 12 years old, 13 years old. But Jesus, I work after school. I did minor shit. I only did like two, three hours pick up some tips and stuff like that. I didn't work overnight and I wasn't working in a dangerous fucking environment and I wasn't working with chemicals.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, crazy.

Speaker 2:

That's fucking stupid. I know people, I know we need money. Trust me, I know we need money because the rent, gas, food, everything's going up and regardless of how much we're getting paid, it's just not fucking enough. But to have your child go out there and work for a fucking living, doing 30 to 40 hours a week, come on, that's bullshit. Motherfucking shit is working at school, that's his job yep, where's the parents at this point?

Speaker 3:

That's his job. Yep, right, where's the parents at this point?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah exactly Like how do you not fucking know the kid is not there all night he's been home With burns, injuries. How do you not know that something's going on? Like you cannot be clueless, not know that something's going on, like you cannot be clueless of at least something's going on. Maybe you can be clueless that the person that the kid is working, but you can't be clueless that nothing is happening yeah, that's crazy so yeah, so next story.

Speaker 2:

Right, I have this story and it's a bit strange. Okay, there's this night manager in a Tennessee hotel who was arrested for one of the strangest things I've ever heard of.

Speaker 3:

Okay, this is going to be funny.

Speaker 2:

So the night manager his name is Neil he was walking the floors and he smelled smoke. So he began to investigate, try to find out where the smell is coming from. And this is what he told the cops. Okay, so I'm just telling you what he told the cops. So he stopped at room 222. That's not the actual room, I just made that shit up, okay, okay.

Speaker 2:

And he goes oh, it smells like smoke in here. So he opens the door and he checks inside the room. He checks on the guest and this is at night, overnight. The guest is sleeping in his bed. So he checks on the guest and the guest is okay, no fire, no smoke, nothing. Everything looks pretty safe, right, the guest is sleeping, the guest is sleeping. Neil picks up the scent and the scent is the funky Cheetos coming from the guest's feet. That is the smoke smell.

Speaker 3:

Why Okay?

Speaker 2:

So Neil couldn't resist. He could not resist and he saw that big toe with that cheesy smell and he put it straight in his fucking mouth, Sucking on that big Cheeto toe. The man wakes up and feels Neil sucking the hell out of that big toe. Imagine waking up.

Speaker 3:

This is a serious.

Speaker 2:

So eventually, I don't know what happened. I don't know if Neil got a beat down, I don't know what the fuck happened and Neil Is charged with aggravated Battery and assault Because he battered and assaulted that big toe.

Speaker 3:

Joe, that's a lot of tongue wrestling bro.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, with his mouth all in there.

Speaker 3:

What would you do if I didn't?

Speaker 2:

know, bro, I don't know, man, I'd be so fucking freaked out. What if you know what would be worse? You know what would be worse? What if you fucking liked it? I might like it, I think I do like it. You fight it off, get off my toe. Get off my toe. I might have to tell my lady to do this shit. I might have to tell my lady to do this shit.

Speaker 3:

I don't know man, the shit was pretty good.

Speaker 2:

Hey, listen, hey listen, neil, neil, neil, neil, listen, I'm not gonna call the cops. Listen, I'm not gonna call the cops. You can leave. You're free to go, because he gave me that good toast up. Get the fuck out, neil. Don't tell anybody about this shit. Get the fuck out, neil, let me get that key card. Let me get that key card because you're not coming back in this room. Yo, that fucking you know it hit the news. That fucking hotel must have lost so much fucking money because people were like yo, I'm not going to that hotel, bro, I'm not having Neil suck on my toes.

Speaker 3:

Oh, my God.

Speaker 2:

Neil did get fired, just so you know. Okay, he got fired, of course.

Speaker 3:

Neil got fired. That's a fucking. That's hospitality. You don't give a shit. You get one complaint, you're gone. So let me bring up my last story.

Speaker 2:

This is going to be hilarious, okay. So Rebecca Lee writes this article about a 34-year-old man His name is Eric Stegno who was getting arrested inside of a Planet Fitness.

Speaker 3:

Oh, wow, yeah, I didn't find out why.

Speaker 2:

And yeah, when I first read this shit I was like what the fuck Like yo, planet Fitness is some bullshit. Now they're arresting people for whoa, what the fuck man Like? What did the guy do? Did he drop the weight? Did he grunt? Did he breathe loud? Was he lifting heavy weights? Did he finally fucking exercise with an intent to lose weight and gain muscle and not eat pizza? Like, why is Planet Fitness arresting this dude?

Speaker 3:

Oh, wow.

Speaker 2:

Everything that I had right. I started fencing because I don't like Planet Fitness.

Speaker 3:

Oh, it was noticeable. I was just about to ask what's the deal like Planet Fitness? Oh, I have a situation. It was noticeable. I was just about to ask what's the deal with Planet Fitness?

Speaker 2:

I don't know what the deal is with Planet Fitness, but yo, they just they, they, they. Here's the problem. Right? Planet Fitness has this atmosphere that they claim that is a judgment-free zone, right, but they judge you all the fucking time. They judge you for lifting weights, heavy weights. They judge you for putting weights down because it's too heavy and you have to kind of like somewhat drop it. They judge you for doing certain types of exercises. Like they're judging you at all fucking times. They judge you because you're not doing what everyone else is doing, and I'm not there to do that. I'm there to do what I need to do for my body.

Speaker 3:

How Okay?

Speaker 2:

Do you work out at a planet fitness?

Speaker 2:

I mean I have, I don't work out in any gym, I work out in my gym and have you noticed when you have worked out at a planet fitness, have you noticed anything weird on how the customer service reps or the trainers or whatever the employees of Planet Fitness, how they handle people who may exert or may be lifting too many weights or too much weight or making like you know, like when you squat you're supposed to. The proper way to breathe is to tuck in a large amount of air very carefully, but they kind of like yo, you, you're breathing to it.

Speaker 3:

I've never seen.

Speaker 2:

I've seen it down here part.

Speaker 3:

I'm gonna see any of that, any of that stuff.

Speaker 2:

It might be different in New York, but down here it's fucking stupid.

Speaker 2:

So I have it might be I have a thing of Planet Fitness because of Florida. So, yeah, when I saw this article, all this shit ran through my head. I'm like what the fuck, what else is Planet Fitness going to do? Yo? So I continued reading and I'm like what the fuck, what else is Planet Fitness going to do, yo? So I continued reading and I was like Sherlock Holmes. You got it. This is why you got arrested. So let me tell you, the police show up to Planet Fitness and they went to speak to Eric. Eric was inside one of the yoga rooms doing his yoga exercises inside the room with Matt, you know downward dog. Yeah, whatever, you know all the fucking yoga shits, right?

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I know most of them.

Speaker 2:

Okay, and then here's the thing you know, like the yoga room is just a glass, so everyone sees him doing his yoga shit. So everyone who's working out in the gym Can see inside the yoga room. So the problem with Eric was that Eric was not wearing any fucking clothes. He was butt ass naked In his birthday suit, doing a fucking downward dog with his balls hanging out.

Speaker 3:

Wow, nice, that makes sense. Yeah, nobody's going to touch that nigga.

Speaker 2:

I do hope he sprayed down his fucking mask For real.

Speaker 3:

Oh, my God.

Speaker 2:

Because the people in the gym complain about Eric doing his naked yoga inside the room because they can see through the room. They see his balls jangling everywhere on every fucking weird yoga pose there is and if you know yoga, you know these poses are fucking strange. They have some weird fucking moves, yeah.

Speaker 3:

Poses Backward dog. Backward dog.

Speaker 2:

They're not very flattering. You know what I'm saying. You get to see the dog's anus and the balls and everything. You know what I'm saying. Like you get to see the dog's anus and the balls and everything. You know what I'm saying. Like it's not a good look, right? So he was charged with indecent exposure and this is my final thought I thought it was a judge-free zone.

Speaker 2:

That's exactly what I was going to say. I thought Planet Fitness was a judge-free zone. So what the fuck happened? That's exactly what I was going to say. I thought Planet Fitness was a judge-free zone.

Speaker 3:

So what the fuck happened? I think the law kicked in here, but that was a good one, that was a good setup.
