• 0:00Speaker 00

  Hey Savi, so I'm nineteen, nineteen year old girl currently in the Navy as an aviation mechanic and I work with mostly old dudes.

• 0:11Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 0:12Speaker 00

  And my question is, I come in to work and I get stuff like, "Oh, you look like a crack baby." "Roger from American Dad, Make-A-Wish kid." All that stuff, "You're see-through, you're like a jellyfish." And I just need to know, what are some things that I could say to any man that would make him like,

• 0:34Stavros Halkias?

  Mmm.

• 0:34Speaker 00

  go into his car after work and just cry in the parking lot? I'm talking like, I want to crush the spirit of these folks that I have the displeasure of fucking working with.

• 0:48Stavros Halkias?

  Mmm.

• 0:49Speaker 00

  Alright, thank you.

• 0:51Stavros Halkias?

  Mmm, this is tough. We need, ah, it's tough to just give you general.

• 0:54Speaker 02

  I know, because it is best for them to be site-specific.

• 0:57Stavros Halkias?

  It seems like they kinda are nailing you.

• 0:59Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:00Stavros Halkias?

  It seems like, we don't know what you look like, but Roger from American Dad, it sounds like you have a big head.

• 1:05Speaker 02

  Right.

• 1:05Stavros Halkias?

  You know, like.

• 1:07Speaker 03

  Kind of that very thin, fair skin.

• 1:10Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:10Speaker 02

  Make-A-Wish kid.

• 1:11Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:12Speaker 02

  Totally.

• 1:13Stavros Halkias?

  Exactly, exactly.

• 1:14Speaker 03

  Just like veins on the temples.

• 1:16Stavros Halkias?

  Big eyes, probably.

• 1:19Speaker 02

  Well, I think that maybe the solution to this problem, because it seems like what's hard is that it's her against this legion of men.

• 1:29Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 1:30Speaker 02

  So it's gonna be challenging.

• 1:31Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 1:31Speaker 02

  So it's like, if it's one against many, doing what they're doing, it's gonna be hard from like a bullying aspect because they're gonna be able to riff on each other and you don't have anyone on your side. So I think you should actually go more like Real Housewives mode, and I'm like, "Do these men have wives? Do they have daughters? Can you tattle? Maybe there could be like a tattling aspect."

• 1:56Stavros Halkias?

  You can't tattle.

• 1:57Speaker 02

  Yeah, I think she should be tattling.

• 1:59Stavros Halkias?

  I don't think you can tattle.

• 2:00Speaker 02

  Can you go to the man's wife and be like, "This is what your man is doing, we're calling me a crack baby?" You don't think you can bring that home?

• 2:07Stavros Halkias?

  You can't.

• 2:08Speaker 02

  And then she can be beating him. Ask for it, really?

• 2:11Stavros Halkias?

  No, cuz here's what's going on here. She's the new guy. Like, I know she's a nineteen year old girl and that obviously helps the dynamic. But tattling is the absolute worst thing you can do. She's just a low man on the totem pole right now. And like-

• 2:25Speaker 03

  Also, it's the military.

• 2:27Stavros Halkias?

  It's yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They're not, yeah, they're, they could rape someone and not get in trouble. They're like, calling someone a crack baby, they'll be fine, you know what I mean? What this is, is like, is like, um, it's new person hazing. Yeah, it's hazing.

• 2:43Speaker 02

  You're being hazed.

• 2:44Stavros Halkias?

  And you're young, too, you're a kid, like, you're gonna get it from these unks. So, you know, part of it is, is there a new, cuz the way this always works, like, is there somebody new on the horizon? Right? Cuz that shit rolls downhill. You have to really, you know, you have to, you have to sort of pay your dues. And by the way, you seem to have a pretty good, you, your head's in the right place. You wanna get back at them, you wanna say something funny. You wanna like, you wanna like, you know, riff and bust balls.

• 3:13Speaker 02

  Respect, too.

• 3:14Stavros Halkias?

  Yes, yes, whereas like, if you were like, don't, you can't like, try and get them to stop. You have to fight a little bit. And I think you're right, you're, you know, your, um, instincts are correct. The problem is, you know, how well do you know them? Can we get, or is it too early to get into the bawdy joke territory? Can you tell them they're all old and, you know, their dicks don't work? And you know what I mean, like, um, is that, is that a little much? Um, you know, it's, does one of them have a mustache? You could say they look like they're pedophile, classic stuff, you know what I mean? Like, call someone a pedophile. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

• 3:54Stavros Halkias?

  Uh, you, you gotta, generic stuff for old guys is kinda hard. You also have to like, if someone's getting dog piled, you have to jump in. Like, you need, right now, you need, right now, you need low hanging fruit, right? Like, I would say, you know, is somebody, can you make it look like somebody shit their pants? You know, put a little chocolate on their, you know, and it's like, oh, Reggie shit his pants, you know, whatever, whatever, like. Basically, you have to be-

• 4:21Speaker 02

  Your balls smell.

• 4:22Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, you have to be on the lookout for, you have to be on the lookout for an opportunity to score any points here. You need some low hanging fruit, if it's a dog pile, get in there with something. They might be surprised, but it also does feel like- This is just like good hearted like. You know, I worked I worked at a machine shop when I was twenty nineteen twenty. And there was a lot of like busting balls. There's a lot like white trash and you know. You would but you bust balls back, you know, they call you fat, you call them a fucking hillbilly.

• 4:54Speaker 02

  For sure on the internet, but I kind of go a little bit more absurdist with my clapback. So I don't really know if this would apply.

• 5:00Stavros Halkias?

  But those are different. That's a different scenario. Those aren't good natured.

• 5:04Speaker 02

  No.

• 5:04Stavros Halkias?

  This is just.

• 5:06Speaker 02

  You think it's.

• 5:06Stavros Halkias?

  This is locker room stuff. I think this is just hazing. This is workplace. In the army, when you're a mechanic, it's like.

• 5:13Speaker 02

  Yeah, it's true.

• 5:13Stavros Halkias?

  It's just ball busting. And I think she is right to be like, I need something good. Unfortunately, you're I can't give you something generic here, right? Like if they're, you know, if they're fat, they're balls.

• 5:25Speaker 02

  Specific to you, you have to be this specific bad.

• 5:28Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 5:28Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 5:29Stavros Halkias?

  And just fi- any fight, it's about earning respect, right? So just attempting stuff is good. If you wanna, you know, write back and give us some uh some pictures. Or some uh if you wanna give us some like um, you know, uh qualifications. Look, you know, what they're doing, you know, they're finding people you look like. Who do they look like? I mean.

• 5:50Speaker 02

  It was like, well, who could they look like? It's like, you know, like who's like a really ugly ass guy like Mitch McConnell.

• 5:57Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, no, they have deep respect for him. They're they're they're.

• 6:01Speaker 02

  No, of course.

• 6:02Stavros Halkias?

  They're mechanics in the air force.

• 6:04Speaker 02

  If he looked like that, you know, you could say.

• 6:06Stavros Halkias?

  You're gonna have to pick.

• 6:07Speaker 02

  Yeah, you look like a crypt keeper.

• 6:09Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, the crypt keeper's good. Is there some guy that looks like the crypt keeper? That's good.

• 6:13Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 6:14Stavros Halkias?

  Um, you know. Yeah, again, ped- these guys also are like big like.

• 6:18Speaker 02

  But I'm sure.

• 6:18Stavros Halkias?

  Say they look like, how about this? Say they look like Joe Biden. Call them Democrats.

• 6:23Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 6:23Stavros Halkias?

  That's gonna crush in the Navy aviation. Be like, you probably voted for Kamala, you fucking homo. That'll crush. That'll crush in the fucking at the fucking uh at the Navy at the Navy aviation yard. Come on, are you kidding me? Um, you know, uh all this kind of shit. Was there some now? Is there a piece of like media that's very important? Who's like? The biggest loser in Top Gun or something like that, you know what I mean like? Um, I don't know, like, we need a little more specifics, but your head's in the right place, you wanna clap back. If they're dog piling, get some licks in, you know what I mean, like, be unfair. You know, call them ugly, you're just gonna have to be specific unfortunately, we can't, we really can't do your job.

• 7:06Speaker 03

  I do, I do, I do like what you're saying too, stuff of just like, yeah, you sort of gotta build it up over time. There's not gonna be like, you don't wanna bring someone to their knees with something, you wanna like ingratiate into their work. Workplace culture here.

• 7:20Stavros Halkias?

  You want them to be dog piling and you call someone, you know, nice pedophile mustache Reggie and they're like, oh. Oh, the new girl called you a pedophile, Reggie fucks ki- like, that's the moment you want? And it's like, it's also slow and it's like, you wanna be, and then every day you gotta come with something and it has to also just be jovial. And it's camaraderie, you know what I mean, like, and again, you're the low man on the tonal pole, you're the pledge here. Can you do, you also wanna like earn their respect in other ways, like, you might have to work a little harder, you might have to bring donuts for everybody, like. This is just what being young and they're, they're kind of trying to accept you in a hilarious way. Even though they are tearing you to shreds with, you know, Roger from American Dad or whatever.

• 8:03Stavros Halkias?

  Um, but, you know, your head's in the right place, get after them, do something nice, you know. Figure, you know, just, just really, you know, and don't get too, too ruthless too, too quickly, I agree. You don't wanna be angry either, you want it to be like, y- you know, it's rolling off your back kinda shit.

• 8:20Speaker 02

  Um, yeah, you don't want them to see you swag.

• 8:23Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, and calling them old is big, they're probably worried about their mortality, you know, that kinda stuff. Uh, so, you know.

• 8:29Speaker 03

  Old washed.

• 8:30Stavros Halkias?

  Washed.

• 8:31Speaker 03

  You probably don't fuck your wife good eventually.

• 8:34Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, once you get, yeah, exactly, you also don't wanna be the like nineteen year old girl who brings up the sex jokes first. Cause then you might have, that, she's in a harder position here too. Cause for me, if I'm a nineteen year old guy, and it's all guys, I'm saying, you're old as shit, you don't get pussy, you know what I mean? And you'll get there, you can get there eventually when there's the camaraderie there, but you don't start there, you know what I mean, like? Um, so, yeah, but your head's in the right place.
