I didn’t know Rowan’s dog was “Baelin”, but quickly figured it out from context. Then was rewarded with intimate details of VLDL’s bathroom hygiene habits. You guys are hilarious.
As an American, I feel jealous of the countries who don't tip, because it overcomplicates things, people who don't get tipped don't get paid and it irks me that other countries are picking up on it.
Also as an America, that simply is not true. The law in EVERY state in the country is that IF the worker does not make enough between regular wage and tips to meet minimum wage then the company MUST make up the difference so that they are at least making minimum wage.
@sidroberts7960 I'm sorry, I was too extreme by saying they don't get paid. They don't get paid well.
@@angiewalker1549That I absolutely agree with. I just don't like tip culture expecting people that do not have the money to pick up the slack, when if they fought for their own rights, they would get paid just as much as anyone else.
@@sidroberts7960 Does any company actually do this?? I briefly worked in food and/or bar service but otherwise haven't had jobs where tips are a thing, so I'm legit curious.
Well tip pooling exists
As an American sever, I don't think you're ungrateful. Tipping sucks for everyone. The customer has to deal with the emotions you guys were talking about and the worker has to deal with shit pay because you had a bad day. Honestly don't think anyone wins... except the company because they don't have to pay their workers as much. So I guess we're all getting screwed by them.
I think the ladies need to take over the show for an episode. I'd like to hear their stories about VLDL and how they came aboard.
Stop gender swapping everything!!
But yeah, would love to see some of the other VDL guys bought in as guests.
@@samuel5591 you were right with your first sentence and should have just stopped there.
...and Ben and Hamish and Byron and Rob...
Oh my God i love that roans dog is called baylin.. and he walks him through baylins route
Good morning... Nice day for walking ain't it
Viva is the BEST at normalizing stuff
irks me when you are walking your dog and it's really runny and someone says, ARE YOU GOING TO PICK THAT UP??? And you have to reply with sure honey you got spoon?
Yeah you should pick it up! And take that fog with you while you're at it! 😂
As weird as it sounds, I sorta like the fact that you guys just got on the conversation of those types of poops. 😂
I think it's because it feels like a conversation you have with friends, and so it feels like a genuine and relaxed atmosphere. And I think that's something you guys do well.
People on phones and having conversations in the supermarket irk me to shit! 😂 Bloody move to the end of the isle at LEAST! Not in front of the chiller door or just in the middle of the isle! And, do NOT hold your trolley out in the middle of the isle while you're looking at something ten feet away! You scoundrel! 😂
Adam having an irk for loud eating is quite funny, since he was the loud eater in that one Bored video, pissing off Alan 🤣
If it is strong enough to give you physical feelable discomfort (and it seems so) it is a mental disorder called misophonia. I have it. My mother is a loud muncher and I hated it as a kid, but as an adult, it freaks me out. Like some people feel like screeching nails over a chalk board.
People that clap in movie theaters. Like they can't hear you please stop
This right here
Whenever you are in a cinema, unless you're laughing at a joke, just be as quiet as possible. Respect the people around you. It's not that hard
Yeah, like "Shut the fuck up! It is a cinema, not a theatre!"
As an American I hate tipping and the idea that the wage isn't built into everything. More than that when you are doing self checkout or a coffee shop wants to ask for a tip
Everywhere is asking for tips these day, fast food joints, some retail places, just ridiculous.
@@TheOnlyRusty they also don't tell you that the tip jar is for the owner and not the cashier. Lol. That the workers get a "slice" of. Like 10% i'm sure.
People with no spatial awareness is def my biggest issue too. When I got grocery shopping with my girlfriend, I'm constantly moving her cart because she'll leave it in the way all the time.
This drives me nuts, people without spatial awareness are the bane of my entire existence.
As an ADHD person, I'm all the time hyper aware of my surroundings when not hyperfocusing. At most times I can cross the street without looking because I KNOW if there is traffic or not. And then there are people that stroll around like a drunk, drugged up toddler...
"What's a Baelin poop like, Rowan?"
"Nice day for poopin, huh ha!"
These podcasts have become my morning routine. Even if I already watched I'll throw it on again just to maybe see if I missed anything. I always get more from it. Feel like we're all friends just talking shit around a table. And that's what a podcast should be.
When Adam said he was an "intricate folder" and mimed folding the toilet paper, I immediately had a mental image of him making an origami swan and wiping with that. 😂
19:11 Rowan loves themeparks a little too much
I'm fully with Adam on the loud eating. And also other sounds of someone "existing loudly" like if they have a blocked nose and breath too hard, or someone snoring, but also dripping taps, ticking clocks, buzzing electical devices
As an american I can tell you that we all hate our Public bathrooms. I'm pretty sure they do it because it's cheaper to build
Damsel option coming soon near you!
Yeah whatever barely covers the for and privacy rights the bathroom at your school doesn't even have doors to the entrance
I’m so glad yet so saddened by finding out that one of the guys that makes up one of my favorite groups of content creators shares a similar issue as myself. Misophonia. And I’ve always had it for many things, Adam I hope yours at least is a lesser degree. I know I tend to get a cerebral response that throws me into fight or flight. And I have to walk away. I remember struggling with it a bit when I was in the military. I think tinnitus has decreased it a bit for me….
But, thank you guys for creating/sharing more content that makes me more happy I stumbled upon your content!
Side note: now I know that Baelin is Rowan’s dog’s name and makes me even more glad Baelin’s Route was my first exposure to VLDL!
In college, my buddy printed out an entire booklet of blank parking tickets of the campus police. We would always leave fake tickets on any car that was parked like a dick. The idea of just seeing the ticket before even reading it would ruin their mood and would be so satisfying for us
I'm an American, and I hate how tipping works here. Blows my mind how it's legal to pay people $5 less than minimum wage, and expect the customers to pay 20% more for their meal to make up the difference. And if customers don't tip, the employee gets fired. So dumb.
except they don't get fired...
@@nefariouspersephone9447 I've personally had to fire people for that reason at pizza hut
Rowan your voice is the PERFECT touch to the intros 🤌🏻
(I always thought “bats in the cave” was code for cavities 😮
Boogers in the nose = "Sky is cloudy"
Once it is gone = "Sky is clear"
That's how our family alerts each other in that situation.
We ask about bears in the cave. And then she will tell me if its a cub or mama bear depending on the size
Slow walkers.... I grew up in NY and would go into the city often... where there are 7 mazillion tourists walking super slow, taking up the whole sidewalk, gaping at the tall buildings and not looking around at all. To give you an idea of how fast I walk, I once *walked* 20 city blocks (about a mile) in 10-ish minutes, which (sadly) is about the speed I run a mile LOL So like... get out of the way.
I used to legit growl or hiss at people as I passed them LOL
I had an experience back in middle school gym before with the whole should I or should I not say something. My class were sitting around in a circle on the floor with the gym teacher, this was back when we had PE outfits, ours was a gray top with red shorts. Well I look over and the guy across from me had his sausage laying on the floor next to his leg. I kept trying to look away and was feeling really uncomfortable when the gym teacher, a man suddenly yells. "____ Go to the bathroom and organize yourself." a few girls giggled when he left, I just felt relieved.
What irks me when people send you ”hey” and then start to write their message, like you could just include the hey in the actual message instead of grabbing my attention and make me wait for the message
Hey
How's your day going
its a lot better than just a "Hey' and literally nothing else
"can I ask you a question?" You could have just asked the question. Who says no to that?
lol that's fine
I don't like when they say hey and wait for your answer to say what they actually want to say, and if you dare to answer they will follow with "How's going
Just get to the point ffs
Imagine a work interview for VLDL: "Sooo, some questions about toilet paper techniques..." 😂 "So, first of 15 questions; Do you scrunge the paper..?" 🤣
bidet, greatest thing ever invented for the arse
LMAO Rowans righteous "yeah..yeah..YEAH YEAH!" at 45:23
I'm an American and was once a head cook at a 5 star resort on my way to becoming a head Chef. when the opportunity came up I asked my current chef privately how much he makes and it was less than the part time bartender made because of tips. I put my two week notice in the next day. Now I manage A Subway franchise and make more then I did as a chef and have the energy to use my skills at home to insure my kids eat well. I'm not against tips, but it has gone a bit to far to the point where "serving" is a more viable career than being a chef.
These are the most entertaining idiots I've ever watched. 10/10
I'm a scruncher.......come at me nerds 😂 just kidding, love you guys, please don't ever change
The walk speed thing: I'm glad I usually walk about 4 mph, so I'm never the stalker
Therefore: slow walkers are hell! Especially if they leave no room for an overtake...
I love the fact that Rowans dog is named Baelin
I feel the same about the dog-shit thing, but you have no idea how quickly you forget about dogs when you live in a village where people have horses.
I feel the need to point this out, but at 33:00 minutes in, there is someone breathing so close into the microphone.
It is so loud that it's hilarious.
Probably Ellie 😂
Please make a VLDL style PSA about "How to pick up your dog's poo"
I believe the stalls empty space is meant to dissuade drug use... but also there was some issues with accidents in bathrooms and the authorities having s hard time getting in, so they made it open for easy access if someone faints or w/e
Legitimately I stopped playing anything but FFA in overwatch for about 2-3 months before I finally quit it just because of how toxic the environment was getting, and the anxiety of being 'good enough'
Going after scrunches 🤣 I just bought a bidet and that is a game-changer in the bathroom. I can't imagine life without it. If I have to poop at work it's like going into the dark ages!!
Lane discipline is my #1. You don’t have to go fast, but you also don’t get to dictate others speeds if they do want to go fast. You just need to read the situation around you and be in the correct lane. Courtesy and efficiency. Which is actually my #2. People that do not strive for efficiency in their every day life.
Watching great skit creators do Podcasts is definitely is on my list.
As an American that waited tables at TGI Friday's in my youth made $2.13hr but the restaurant has the obligation of making sure you make minimum wage. Even with some really unreasonable customers I averaged well over minimum wage. Providing good service with a smile goes a long way
So funny you guys bring up the wiping thing. I used to have a saying when I was potty training my children "wipe until its white" you HAVE to look! 😂
Don't wipe till it's red!
OMG HAS ANYBODY EVER DONE 15 EPISODES BEFORE?! amazing, you're amazing. I ❤ U ADAM (I say Adam because he always seems to need it the most)
Been loving these podcasts, really entertaining, thank you all!
An alternative title for this one would be TMI.
Adam, your food noise thing is called Misophonia and it's very real!
All things are real.
@@jackson102881 Sir this is a wendy's
Working in field of behavior and kids, I have had the how do y'all poop talk far more often than an average person wants to have 😂
Im intrigued as to how Alan wipes without a cheek leaving the seat, does he reach around the front?
Yeah, I mean, at least one cheek has to be lifted. I can't (and don't want to) imagine how he does it 😂
The idea that somebody would mime picking up dog poop had me in hysterics.
OMG Adam YES! My wife will just stop in the middle of foot traffic and look at something she could have easily moved out of the path but no, and I'm super aware of the glares we BOTH get. Then you have that "sorry?" look on your face any try to get her to move.
Alan, definitely 😁 recall bats in the cave and also was surprised by these two not hearing it before
Allen, the bathrooms in America are like that Aldo for the purpose of keeping people from doing drugs, stealing from stores or doing drugs. I'm sure there are also other reason, like not wanting to pay for a whole stall.
Yeah, that's what the handicap or family bathroom is for.
I started eating exactly at the moment when the guys started talking about their poop. Hmmm, nice 😂
I feel that wherever you are in the world, if you have the extra cash to tip. Than why not, it’ll only help the server smile a little bit more.
18:14 "Oh Lola, do you want to go outside for a sniffing?"
I've genuinely found that choosing to belive this person is suffering the loss of someone close to them that has completely wiped their ability to do things.
I've definitely done the sudden stop when I've been trying to chat to a friend who was feeling suicidal and reached out suddenly... Was at Pac N Save at the time and definitely ended up with a form of tunnel vision that caused the rest of the world to slip away.
But that's not who I am all the time.
Best response to any toxic trolls talking shit is to just respond: "Jesus loves you." It instantly triggers them every time
The us is starting to have tip requests for things we never tipped for. I get it
Normal tipping was already annoying and now some places ask for a tip when I'm doing all the work.
Why would you stay seated while wiping? It's just harder to reach around.
I also have misophonia like Adam. I feel your pain.
We could all carry this conversation on for ages I’m with you all on most of the irks, especially Adam’s. The thesis is don’t be a dick. Easy, right? 😁
Imagine by some luck you get a VLDL autographed poster, and rather than having it signed, most of them just initialed it ☠️
Also, I’m in America and the tip thing is out of control. Employers should just pay their employees properly
44:08, I usually find just reloading the page fixes this issue
I never heard that phrase before that Rowan said but it makes sense. Here in the US (im in the south) most restrooms are private. Unfortunately not all. Edit- i also check the TP.
These convos!!!!! Yoooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This song is now stuck in my head lol.
Rowans #1
When I'm driving, and the passenger is complaining about other drivers.
And the complaining oassenger _doesn't even have a licence_
I'm an anxious masticator 😂 I kind of detest the loud mastication. I've concluded you can open mouth masticate, that's just gross. You can close mouth masticate but with an open nasal passage that makes some noise. Finally, closed mouth with closed nasal passage, the most silent of chewing. I'm always worried that I might annoy people even with closed mouth mastication open nasal. I don't like chewing with closed nasal because it lessens the flavor. Awkward.
love u guys and ur videos 🥰
I always thought Rowan looked like the singer from the band rise against
As a German I don't get how you would not sit down to pee... Home toilets are designed for that purpose. For standing to pee there's pissoirs but I don't know anybody who privately owns one.
Submission for things that will irk the VLDL Team.
Hey VLDL team. I need your help, I'm looking for a great laptop or pc for gaming... i was thinking like a mac or some apple product! Thoughts?
Literally eating my lunch listening to them talk about how they fold toilet paper. Yup.
Unfortunately Adam you’re wrong about tipping in high end restaurant staff wages - not many high end restaurants in nz that I’ve heard of pay their staff any / much better than regular restaurants :(
The phrase “it’s good to go”
Adam does seem like the type of dude to sit down when he pees 😂😂😂
Sitting down while peeing is superior to standing while peeing in every conceivable way imo.
I've been serving for almost 20 years, and I can't stand any time where I'm there for when a customer is deciding what to tip. During the pandemic shutdown, we switched to all to-go orders and had to use one of those little credit card swipe machines where I would have to then turn it around and let them choose the tip, hated every second of it, especially so because it was to-go orders which hadn't really solidified itself as a tipping thing. Even today, my co-workers always ask guests on the phone if they'd like to add any gratuity for the staff, where the orders are big enough that even 5% can be a hefty add-on. Can't get myself to do it, theres a slip they sign when they pick up, if they want to leave one then, with zero pressure, great, otherwise I'm content to not get a tip rather than have to ask for it.
Don't just roll with it guys. Speak truth
I have such a huge issue hearing loud eating I can feel it.. I usually have to play something at the table, so I dont hear it all. I can't do asmr at all.
You guys are awesome.
Eating lunch will watching this was not the correct decision 😂
misophonia- i have the exact same thing. the idea of a mukbang or those weird food asmr video makes me understand why genocide exists.
and honestly i dont care if its people that cant listen to that or people that produce those sounds but that needs to go but it needs to happen asap
37:08 we call those Fiend request
In America we hate tipping too
People who say “super” before everything. I’m “super” excited to be here etc etc.
13:20, simple solution. Attach/Glue/Stick/Whatever a mini bag to the leash and whenever you get home after walking the dog you make sure to replace the contents with fresh disposable bags. Always make sure you have at least a weeks worth in your cupboard too so you don't end up in the situation where you got home and found there's none, decided to get them later and then forgot. I do likewise with any consumable that I normally buy. Such as bog roll, or washing up liquid, washing powder, butter, etc.
Scrunchers sweating rn
I am the same as adam, hearing people eat makes my skins crawl, HOWEVER if its chips or crackling, things that are just loud anyway arent too bad... Just rowans examples made me wanna throw my phone
I'd rather be 6 hours early than be 0,1 minute late, so I feel you Adam
Oh Eww, no thanks! I'm not about to be bored for 6 hours. Now having said that, I strongly agree with the idea that if you're not early you're late, and I have no intention of being late. There are limits to this though!
You starting song should be added to spotif
AHHH ZIP HOODIE 🎉❤
so happy rowan does not have a mustaaaaaage anymore.
I'm a scruncher. Come at me bro!
It's so funny about tips for NZ. Genuinely the nicest people on the planet - seem to have a huge problem with tipping on principle. I work with many kiwis had similar viewpoints shared by them.
I love these so much, thank you guys!
Mysofony - getting mad when someone eats loud
We’re tipping robots here in the US now…..wtf!
