Are You Okay with This?

Are you okay with this?

Nigel (0:03)

On The Hammer and Nigel Show. Okay. Suburban indie, baby.

Featuring the fall marketplace at Grand Park. My name is Nigel Jason Hammer here. Broadcasting live, Hammer, a woman claims that she didn't get a job after an interview because she had a massive pimple on her lip. Uh-oh. Here is this woman's story.

SPEAKER_3 (0:32)

I get to the interview, and the guy's like, Hi, welcome to meet you. And I'm like, hi, nice to meet you. I see his eyes look exactly like they look, they go down. And then I had to bring up the pimple. So I was like, also, please don't mind the big pimple on my lip. Like it literally popped out out of nowhere. And he was like kind of laughing. He was like, yeah, no worries about it. It happens. Blah, blah, blah. The day after the interview in the morning, I get an email, and they freaking rejected me because of my pimple. I can't even make this up. It says something about like we take pride in appearance or something else. Are you joking me? Like they said it in the most subtle way. It was about the pimple.

Hammer (1:06)

Oh, bull crap. I don't believe that for a minute.

Nigel (1:09)

Are you okay with this woman saying that she got turned down for a job because of the pimple on her lip?

Hammer (1:15)

No, not at all. I think that, okay, I don't, I really don't. Maybe she wasn't a qualified candidate. Maybe that's why she didn't get the job.

But if somebody was really qualified and they happened to have a zit, I don't think that would be a deal breaker. I have a hard time believing that back in 1998, Peyton Manning sitting down with Bill Polian. If Peyton Manning had a zit on his nose, Bill Polian would say, oh, that's, I know you're super qualified and you set all these records at Tennessee, but we're going to have to go with Ryan Leaf here. I'm sorry, that zit's just a deal breaker. That's not how this works.

Nigel (1:54)

You get turned down for a date, but maybe not a job.

Hammer (1:58)

Jobs are about money. So I think she's using this as an excuse. But here's my question for the brain trust that's listening right now. And Allison, feel free to jump in the mix here.

Where is the worst place to get a zit? The worst place on your body to get a zit, Nig?

Nigel (2:20)

Look, man, when I was a kid, like it wasn't a zit, like I'd get it worse than zits. I didn't really have acne, but I'd get a cold sore every now and then. When I was a kid, if I'd stay out in the sun too long, and it would just blow up like just a cheeseburger on my lip. Oh. It was so, and then with the advent of, you know, there's medication you could take for that stuff now, get them anymore, but man, oh man, it was the worst, most humiliating thing in the world. So I have a scar, like I have an issue with the fever blisters, and so much the pimples.

Hammer (2:57)

I hate, I hate, with a capital H. If you ever get a zit right on the inside of your nostril, oh, that hurts so bad.

Nigel (3:06)

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hammer (3:08)

Inside the nostril zit hurts so freaking bad.

Nigel (3:12)

Yes.

Hammer (3:12)

Nigel, I texted the coupon lady, and I want you to read our back and forth about this question, okay? Just pervade them right there.

Nigel (3:21)

Quick question, what is the worst place to get a zit?

Hammer (3:25)

What did she say, Nigel?

Nigel (3:26)

Crystal responded with the taint or the butt crack because it's hard to get to.

Hammer (3:34)

She's a lady. Whoa, whoa, whoa, she's a lady.

YouTube chats, way in. Worst place to get a zit.

Nigel (3:45)

I love it.

Hammer (3:46)

I'll listen to the argument for like inside the ear because that hurts.

I remember when I played football back in the day, I played a lot of football. You'd wear the chin strap and you'd get that zit goatee because all the sweat would build up on your chin, and you got a zit goatee out of it.

Nigel (4:02)

Yeah. Listen to this. You'll like this. You're a baseball guy. You played baseball in high school. You had kids who played baseball, and you watch it a lot. A former minor league baseball player, he played a pronunciation game with his teammates, but he's got a heavy Dominican accent, okay? So I guess it's okay in the Dominican if you have fun with their accents. I guess it just depends. So in this clip, he tries to say, listen to him try to say, photosynthesis, mischievous, extravaganza, vacuum cleaner, flamboyant, purple velvet, shenanigans, and squirrels.
