Hey, everybody. Welcome back to the one's ready podcast. You're back in the team room with us. All three of us. This is what Aaron likes to call an evergreen episode.

0:16.9

It's that PNW life, you know, I've never used that in my life. I don't know what you're talking about liar. You have because I've been doing all the editing. So I can I hear these things and I'm like evergreen episode.

0:29.9

Okay, all right.

0:32.7

It's disturbing how much Jared knows about us now because it does all the editing. You know, if you just say stuff and let it go, I get this. I get to see episodes over and over again.

0:41.0

Oh, man.

0:42.9

So I have got even though it's still uncomfortable to watch when listening to myself because I'm an idiot. It I've kind of gotten lights.

0:51.9

Hell yeah. Yeah, the worst part for y'all is having to listen to these things like over again, like having to hear yourself and hear how stupid you are.

0:58.9

But not you are. You guys don't sound stupid, but me specifically. I sound stupid. Yeah. I don't like it. And what's even funnier is when people that I know they're like, hey, man, that was a good episode.

1:09.3

It which I appreciate. I appreciate the fact that they're listening and like they find that. But at the same time, like, do don't you get enough of me? You've got to get tired of me.

1:18.6

I'm tired of you, dog. Yeah, shout out to some of the cats in the YouTube comments. John Cammett. What's up? You're my favorite guy because he always hops on. My favorite one is

1:28.9

if he's my favorite commenter for real because he'll hop on when it's just an episode of you to and he goes, wow, guys, that was a really good episode. When one guy isn't there talking over the host or saying dumb shit and just generally being a piece of shit.

1:43.8

I'm like, man, he's right. He's right. Now this is a really good episode. And that's what I hate is that usually it is really good. And then I, you know, I have to think about that.

1:53.6

No, we're sad when you're not around.

1:55.4

Too. In the entire world population.

2:00.8

Well, since we're all three of us are kind of in a spicy mood, I guess, maybe not spicy, but just in a jovial mood. I figured it'd be a good opportunity to talk about what we would consider.

2:15.8

And probably as a community, what we consider kind of a quote unquote shitty operator.

2:20.9

Um, yeah, oh, oh, yeah, yeah, I'm here for uncomfortable talking about this. Some, some of us might have an operator trend. You've never done anything. You haven't even been doing a selection. You have no idea what it means to do the job. I don't even know why you're here on this one.

2:36.2

I'm here to judge y'all and tell you how you could be better. Nice. Good. Yeah, I'm in.

2:45.0

I'm the one man tiger team here to make things better. The one man tiger team is what that is right now. Nobody cares if you'll find out.

2:52.9

It's ever solved any problems ever since the history of the Air Force.

2:58.5
