S2 E7 - Take This Job and Shove It
Donny and Judy’s work history reads less like a résumé and more like a cautionary tale HR departments whisper about during training. In this episode, they revisit the bizarre jobs they somehow landed, the coworkers who probably shouldn’t have been allowed near the public, and the disasters that unfolded the moment they clocked in. Responsibility was… optional. Judgment was… missing. And at one point, someone may or may not have been suspected of starting a fire just to escape a shift. (Was it intentional? Was it an accident? Was it Tuesday?) From strange bosses to stranger incidents, this episode proves that Donny and Judy didn’t just survive their jobs — their jobs survived *them*.

Judy, here we go. Season two, episode number seven. Getting deep into the stories, talking about growing up in Minot, North Dakota. Had an episode about dad, had an episode about mom, had an episode about our pets, some goofy stuff that's happened to us, school, sports and school, all that. Today it's actually gonna be not that we're calling it this, although we might take this job and shove it because we've got some crazy jobs that we had, not only in minor, but later in life and growing up.
SPEAKER_03I like how we say it's the that it's the jobs that were crazy, and it wasn't us. And we were thinking of it, it seems like nothing is ever our fault. It's the job's fault. The jobs are crazy. We must shove the job because it's really nuts to me that we ever kind of were able to have a job and keep a job after how it started for us, and how we ever even got hired. You know, I know I talked about flipping the lady off in the car who ended up being the person at Dairy Queen that hired me at my first ever job. And that I didn't stay there that long, a week.
SPEAKER_02Who preemptively flips off their boss before they even get the job? That's something you do on the way out, not on the way in.
SPEAKER_03That's exactly right. And flipping them off at the wrong time.
SPEAKER_02Judy, we talked about in some of the other episodes as well about some of the jobs I've had, the pizza job where I walked out, asked where the bathroom was, walked down the hall, left, had the Burger King job. And another job I had was a telemarketing job years later. And we'll get into more telemarketing stories in a little bit. But one of the early telemarketing jobs, again, was a bogus job where within the first hour I had to say, hey, where's your bathroom at? And then walked down the hallway, and then they just never saw me again.
SPEAKER_03So that's a pattern. The bathroom thing was a pattern while looking for the exit. Well, one of the things when we were in mine up that I thought was kind of cool is we drove by Schatz's truck stop. It's funny, a lot of people probably don't ever like to say that they worked at a truck stop. I worked at a truck stop, you worked at the truck stop, our sister worked at a truck stop. We all three worked at a truck stop. Sadly, we all got fired. They all got fired from the truck stop on the same day. And what's really crazy about that, I know it wasn't me that was the cause of getting fired.
SPEAKER_02I know it wasn't me either, and we're gonna kind of just leave it at that. I don't think we can go any deeper. But how many siblings in America are working at a job, three of them working at a job, and they all get canned on the same day? That only happens to the Schneiders.
SPEAKER_03What's really crazy about that whole thing is that when we were in Light Hug, we drove by the truck stop, we did our little selfies in front of the truck stop, and then we went inside the truck stop. And like we were talking how proud we were that we all got fired the same day. And then the girl's like, I got fired two, two months ago. And there she was. I don't know if I ever mentioned this to you, but when I was like 14, and I know we talked about child labor laws or whatever, but you know, I'd been working like crazy at that place, and I had taken a couple of doubles, worked overnight shifts, 14 years old. And then I know, you know, I got home, I needed to sleep. My mom gave me a value, and it knocked me out up until the phone rang 20 minutes later, and it was time to go straight back in.
SPEAKER_02Let's back up though, our first job. It's funny how you and I we had all these things that kind of mirror each other, and we'll get into Taco John's in a little bit as well. We've kind of already alluded to that in a couple of previous episodes. But our first job, again, was a job that we both had, and it was working for the My Not Daily News. And it's kind of funny because we were up in Minot for the reunion a couple of months ago and got interviewed by the MyNot Daily News, and we actually had a chance to share with them that we both delivered the paper in Minot back in the day when we were, I think, just what, fifth, sixth graders?
SPEAKER_03We became newspaper tycoons. Well, well, I became the tycoon because I think I ended up taking over your route. I ended up becoming the newspaper tycoon, delivering the newspaper when it was in Blizzards, rain, snow, or shine. It was an afternoon newspaper too, which was a little bit different.
SPEAKER_02Thank God, because most people deliver the paper. I had a buddy of mine that deliver the paper. I had to get up at four o'clock in the morning and deliver the paper. So the My Night Daily News was an afternoon paper, and we got to do it after school. And that's the reason that I couldn't keep that job is because I wanted to play sports and all the practices for sports was after school.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, and you didn't have me any money after that because I became a little investment advisor, what, age 10, 12? It was pretty cool though.
SPEAKER_02Judy, fast forward a little bit to our next job together, Taco Johns. And that might have actually been after the truck stopped because we stayed at Taco John's for a couple of years. And I think I got the job first at Taco Johns, and then you came on board later. And we almost ended up kind of running the place. I always tell people that you and I were both head crew leaders at Taco Johns, and they always laugh when I say that because they're like, wow, head crew leader. And I'm like, yeah, we got good at our job. We kind of ran the place, but some crazy Taco John stories from over the years as well.
SPEAKER_03Crazy stories, but before we talked about the crazy story, crazy uniform. It was like some scratchy ass polyester uniform that you had to wear that no matter how many times you washed it, it still would reek, even if you had stuff kind of ready to roll. And even when you went to school, it's like that taco smell never got out of your air. And something the person behind you is like, hmm, I'm craving a burrito. And you're like over there, please don't tell them you work at Taco John's so they know that that burrito smell wafting through the room is from your hair.
SPEAKER_02I think we got good at putting our clothes in the laundry room because if you kept it in your bedroom, you'd wake up and smell that. It smelled like a burrito. It was terrible. Later, I worked at the TV station in Minot, and there was a girl that was a camera operator at Kamo T in Minot. And for some reason, she always smelled like a burrito. And I don't know. And I don't think she had a part-time job at Taco John's. It might have been the home burrito she was cooking, but I just remember how nasty that smelled. And it kind of reminded me of our days where we smelled like that every day.
SPEAKER_03Crazy that smell when I went to the reunion. I don't know about you, but when I was in Minot, I ate at Taco John's like twice a day. So it was like, hmm, that smell came right back. And it's like, hmm, smells really yummy. We had two kinds of customers at Taco John's. We had the bar rush, which I always thought the cops should be just sitting in the parking lot to get their T UI people, because that was crazy. And at high school, we worked till one, two o'clock in the morning, depending on the day of the week. And again, no child labor laws. It was okay at the time. It would be like drunk fests coming in to get their tacos.
SPEAKER_02You're right. It was the drunk people coming in. You had to deal with them, and they'd all like complain about their taco, even if you were making them a perfect taco. Hey, put more meat on that. Or don't be so skimpy with the cheese. Or can you put double meat on that? Well, guess what? There's a charge for that. But anyway, that was just the drunk people. My favorite story at Taco John's was working in the morning on a Sunday, and we were right across from Minot State College. So the college was right across the street.
SPEAKER_03Home of the beavers, right?
SPEAKER_02Home of the lady beavers.
SPEAKER_03The lady beavers are gonna they're gonna factor into the story.
SPEAKER_02So I would be working at Taco John's in the morning, and some of the girls that went to Minot State, a little plump, we'll leave it at that, a little chunky. Maybe a farm girl coming to Minot going to college. Full figured, Donnie. Full figured. Plus size girls would come over. I would like to die laughing because they'd here's what they did.
SPEAKER_00I'd like to get two beefy burritos with extra sour cream, uh, a potato ole. Can you give me also a taco bravo? And an apple grande, and okay, one more soft shell. And can I get a tab?
SPEAKER_02And Judy, my response, I didn't, but I wanted to say, really? You're getting all that food, and now you're going diet with the drink. You're getting a tab? And I just wanted to say to him so bad, hey, listen, you're chowing all that, splurge, get the coke, get the get the coke, get the sugar, get it all. Nothing's changing with a tab. You can't tell me you like the taste of the tab.
SPEAKER_03Tab sucked. I remember that though, the lady beavers coming in to get their fill. One of the other jobs that I did, and it was kind of a little part-time thing, but a friend, Chris, my friend Chris, I know you talked to her at the reunion too. Her dad had uh a plane, and he would, and so it was myself and somebody else that did this, but he would work for the North Dakota Ag Association. This is in high school diet. This is a cool job. And the plane would, you'd be laying on the bottom of the plane on your belly, on a blanket, and the plane had a hole in it to put a camera lens through. What you would do, so one person is flying the plane, the other person's reading a map, and it'd be like one, two, and you would be marking the map for the North Dakota Ag Association and building maps for farmland. I guess that's before they had satellite images to do a lot of that. But that was kind of a cool job. But the coolest part of that job was when he said, Hey, you want to fly the plane? I'm like, what? Yeah, totally. I'm like 16 years old, you know, clueless and kind of a moron with a lot of things. Anyway, I've got to fly the plane at like 16. And then he would do this other thing as a kind of a joke when you were in the back, because if he would do a dive, then gravity you'd go flying up. You're not buckled in. So all of a sudden, you're you know, you're flailing in the back, kind of floating around the whole back.
SPEAKER_02I'm shocked you didn't end up as a crop duster. Yeah, I totally shooting bug spray through that. Hey, real quick, I was working at KMOT years later in Minot doing sports, and a girl I was dating, her name was Robin. She was at the Minot Air Force Base. We were dating for a little while, and she called me up one day and said, What are you doing after the sports cast tonight? And I said, I don't know, want to hang out. And she goes, Yeah, I got plans for us. And I'm like, Okay. So the sports handed at 10:30. She picked me up, drove me to the Minot airport, and she had a buddy of hers from the Air Force that had a little Cessna. And we got on the Cessna plane at 11 o'clock at night on a date and flew to Bismarck, had a car waiting for us that took us out for a late night dinner, late night drinks, and then after the bar, drove us back to the Bismarck Airport, flew back to Minot, got back up to Minot at four in the morning. One of the coolest dates I've ever been on in my life is a girl that had arranged a plane to take us to Bismarck.
SPEAKER_03I'm gonna be total Tommy Topper. And I don't know if you ever know this, but I went out with a famous radio personality in Bismarck, and he was a big radio star. I was out at Ladies' Night one night, underage, drinking my pink swirls. He asked me out on a date, and the date was at six o'clock in the morning. The date was went flying on his plate. So, Donnie, I had a similar experience. How weird is that? Something happens to you, then it happens to me. So I had a similar date.
SPEAKER_02I'm not gonna top that because it didn't actually happen, but I'm again working at the TV station and they have a wild game feed up at Minard Air Force Base. So I go up to Air Force Base on a whatever night, and we're all eating wild game, and it's elk, it's buffalo, it's crocodile, it's all kinds of wild meat, and it actually was really good. Well, anyway, there was a colonel or a major there, and he knew I was on TV, he saw me on TV, so we kind of started chatting it up a little bit. And he said to me, I kid you not, he said to me, What are you doing tomorrow morning? And I said, I don't know why. And he goes, Why don't you meet me at the front gate at 6 a.m.? And I said, What for? And he goes, I'll take you up on an F-16. I'll take you up on a fighter jet. No. And I said, What? He goes, Yeah, I'll take you up. I'll fly you over the North Pole. I'll have you back by noon. And I said, What? And this was like the craziest opportunity. And I'm gonna go up in a fighter jet. I'm gonna fly over the North Pole. This is gonna be one of the coolest things I've done in my life. Well, I kind of prefaced the story by saying it didn't happen because the next day, and again it was a late night at the Minor Air Force Base, it wasn't only eating wild game, it was drinking like a wild animal. So the next morning, I woke up, looked at the clock, 720 in the morning, and I thought, oh my God, I just messed up that opportunity to go up in a fighter jet.
SPEAKER_03A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
SPEAKER_02Never saw the guy again. That was the end of that.
SPEAKER_03Wow. It sounds like the time when you overslept for your tennis tournament. Kind of the same concept, priorities.
SPEAKER_02I could have won the tennis tournament. I forfeited that first match, and then I won every match in the constellation round until I got to the constellation championship. And then I lost to a guy from Mine Up Ryan. Yeah. Oversle sleeping back in the day was a common thing.
SPEAKER_03One of the other jobs that I had, you know, obviously it was really hard to get out of that being a waiter or waitress kind of thing, or food industries always was really, really, really difficult. And I remember when I first moved to Bismarck, I got a job at a Mexican restaurant. And the Mexican restaurant, Paradiso, I think it was the name of it. I didn't even know how to pronounce the Mexican paradigm. Paradiso. Paradisum, yeah. I didn't even know how to pronounce the name of the restaurant. One of the things I always got in trouble for was when they would people would say, Well, what do you recommend? I'd be like, Well, a restaurant next door. They were not fans of that answer. Wow. Needless to say, that job was short-lived. And I had a whole problem of quitting jobs like after a few days. But the other weird thing that happened at that Paradiso job, my first day on the job. I don't know what happened if I was stressed out or whatever, but I got super sick. I thought, where's the restroom? And I didn't say where's the restroom like you to go bolt and run out of the place. I'm like, where's the restroom? I don't feel good. Well, I don't know how much time went by, but all of a sudden I'm like passed out in the restaurant. First day on the job. And they're on the intercom, is there a doctor in the house? Whatever. So I made quite the impression. First day on the job. I ended up being okay.
SPEAKER_02Well, the Paradiso job, I know why they got rid of you because they were like, why are we so slow tonight? And next door is hopping. It's Jam next door. Well, because you're recommending the next door place. That's funny. Real quick, one more KMOT story, Judy. I'm doing sports in mine. Again, being on television, and I start dating. Well, only went out on a few dates, but I start dating Miss North Dakota. Her and I go on a few dates, and early on in our relationship, I end up going down to Bismarck for a Virgil Hill WBA light heavyweight title fight. He's a boxer from North Dakota. I think he boxed in the Olympics. And he's got a couple of pro fights, and one of them is in Bismarck. I'm going to go down to Bismarck and cover that fight for the TV station. Well, the girl I was dating was also going to the fight in another capacity. She was going down to be the ring girl. Again, because she was famous for being just North Dakota. So she would be the ring girl that would walk around in between rounds holding up the sign. So anyway, we were supposed to meet up after the fight and hang out and, you know, make it a late night date in Bismarck and stuff like that. Well, she ghosted me. To be honest with you, I really never saw her again. But I found out that she had met up with the ring announcer, who happened to be none other than Michael Buffer, the ring announcer, the famous let's get ready to rumble. That dude was there. He hit on her. I guess she accepted the hit, and all of this went down, and I never saw her again. But the kind of the back end of that now is I always tell people the story that hey, I dated Miss North Dakota, and people are like, oh, that turned out.
SPEAKER_03I thought you were gonna say that you opted to go out with the North Dakota pork queen instead of Miss North Dakota, which that's a thing. That is a thing. There's a potato queen too.
SPEAKER_02Those are good looking people. Just because it's the pork queen doesn't mean it's a heifer.
SPEAKER_03Well, part of the fun is just to say the the pork queen. Well, I had two jobs that was after I was a little older, so these were part-time jobs, just for some extra money, because my career job didn't pay that well. The part-time jobs I got, I loved working at liquor stores. And I know that sounds crazy, but liquor stores were an interesting place to work. You saw a little bit of everything. Anyway, the place that I worked at was in kind of a little sketchy part of town, which made it even more interesting and unsafe. But anyway, there was this lady, she would come in every day and she'd buy like a case of beer. And then at the end of the night, she'd buy a little thing of whiskey. Again, not judging, whatever. But I'm like, wow, I'm like, she's must be like nine months pregnant. I don't think it's healthy for her to be drinking. So I'm like, hey Rex. I'm like, you know, that lady's like nine months pregnant. And he's like, he goes, no, no. He goes, that's from the alcohol. And I'm like, okay, I didn't even know that was a thing. I mean, I was like 20, 21, 22 years old. Next day I see her, she comes in, she gets her beer, and she has her kids with her. It like two little kids bringing them to the liquor store. Again, not judging, but I'm like, hey Rex. I'm like, wow. I'm like, she's bringing her. I guess I am judging. She's bringing those kids to the liquor store with her. He's like, oh no, those aren't her kids. She had hers taken away. She's babysitting those kids. And I'm like, what? So that was the one liquor store. The other liquor store that I worked at was in a nicer part of town. And this part of town, you know, again, just same problems. People are dressed better. But the girl that I worked with was crazy. She's like, the guy that owned the liquor store used to be a priest, but now he has a liquor store. So, but she would run off. She's like, we gotta make it all festive in here to make people buy booze. So she's blaring the music, making it fun, and then she's trying to make these drinks while we're on the job. So we didn't have the booze that we needed in our store. So she drove to the other liquor store. Well, the owner comes in while she's gone. And he's like, Where's so-and-so? And I'm like, stalking in the fridge, she's stalking stuff back there. Well, she's got like her drink stuff all over the place later on. We leave, forget to set the alarm on the place. He goes in there, goes just ate shit because everything's just totally crazy in there. And he's like, Were you drinking on the job? And I'm like, No. Maybe somebody broke in and and drank all that stuff, wasn't us.
SPEAKER_02You had liquor jobs, kind of the tweener jobs. I had telemarketing jobs because again, I always thought I was a good speaker, a good talker. Our mom was always a great salesperson. That kind of translated to you and I being able to communicate and talk well. And hence now we're doing a podcast years later. But Judy, I did telemarketing for a number of years in between jobs or as a part-time job or as a side job. And some of the telemarketing jobs I had were crazy. I worked for this company in Denver called American Insulating Window Company, both selling siding and insulated windows. And I always wanted to use a fake name. This was an opportunity to do that. It's a famous DJ in Chicago. His name's Jonathan Brandmeyer. So I stole part of his name and I became his son. Jay Brandmeyer. I'd call up people and they'd answer the phone. I go, is this Mrs. Smith? Oh, yes, it is. Hey, this is Jay Brandmeyer with the American Insulating Window Company calling to see if you've got your windows insulated. Judy, when you're calling people, interrupting them at dinner time, you get all kinds of crazy stuff. You got people cussing you out. You got people saying they're going to come down and kick your ass. You've got, you know, threats. I worked with a ton of people that just couldn't do it because they couldn't take the rejection. They couldn't take getting yelled at. You know, with people that would do it kind of like I did with some of my jobs. They do it for like an hour and say, I can't do this. Well, I have thick skin and I can deal with this stuff. In fact, I can dish it out as well. And I remember I was working for a telemarketing company in Gainesville, Florida, and I call up somebody, and we were calling all over the country. And I was calling a guy, and I think he was like in Omaha or something like that. And I'm selling credit card services. And he answers the phone. I go, Mr. Johnson. And he goes, Yeah. And I go, hey, this is Bob with So and So Credit Card Company calling with an offer that you're going to be interested in. And the guy's response was, hey, listen, I don't know what time it is where you're at, but here in Omaha, it's nighttime. And I'm going to tell you right now, you just interrupted some good love making. What? So my first thought was, wow, must have been good love making if you're answering the phone while that's going on. Hello? But my response to him, Judy, classic, I said, I'm sorry. Let me call you back in 10 minutes when you're done. Did he cuss you out? Click. But the best comeback ever was a guy said to me one time I called him, and I actually stole this years later when telemarketers would call me. I called a guy and he goes, Jay, what are you selling? And I said, I'm selling exciting and uh storm windows. And he goes, you know, my wife and I were just talking about that. We're interested. Can you hang on a second? And I said, okay. And then puts the phone down. And Judy, four or five, six, seven minutes later, I'm like, this guy's not coming back to the phone. He's messing with me. And it's kind of double jeopardy because I'm not getting the sale with this guy. He's not interested. But now I missed out on calling 10 other people because I'm just sitting on the phone waiting for him. I went over a telemarketer and you don't get those calls a lot anymore. You get some weird ones, you know, some spam calls. But you know, if somebody calls me and says, Yeah, we're selling extended warranties on cars, my answer is, wow, I'm looking for one. Hey, Bob, can you hang on a second? And I do the same thing. I'm like, put the phone down and then I go do the dishes or start cooking dinner or whatever. Every once in a while I go back, pick up the phone, see if he's still there.
SPEAKER_03I had a job offer. I didn't end up taking it. And it was actually in Florida too. And it was to run a call center for it was a third-party call center, but it supported one of the big three auto manufacturers. It was an inbound call center, so not outbound, so it was different than yours. It was, and I always I've never forgotten the phrase that they used. And it was for people whose cars have started on fire. But they couldn't say call center rep couldn't say, Mrs. Brown, sorry your car started on fire. Mrs. Brown. Sorry, your car had a thermal event. You could not say the word fire. I think for liability reasons or whatever. But it was it was a crazy job. And I'm like, oh my God, I don't think I want any part of that job. I did not accept that job. It seemed highly stressful for me. So I did take a different job. And it was this different job was the same lady that kind of ran the call center. But this one was also kind of for a third party vendor. And the third party vendor ran a call center for, I'm gonna say, some big technology companies and some other things. I know you worked there for a short time. I was their first ever trainer. So the company was all excited. That they had a trainer. Well, they decide to send Judy on a business trip. Well, Judy wasn't used to being on a business trip. You know, she couldn't barely manage herself. I can't imagine. I couldn't manage a personal trip very well at that time. So anyway, I'm on a trip to a large pharmaceutical company who manufactures all kinds of drugs, has a massive, massive campus. And I'm a smoker at the time. So, you know, I'm thinking about two things. When are we leaving and when can I go outside and smoke? One of the things that happened is I'm like, okay, it's about 20 minutes before we have to leave for our plane. I'm like, where is the restroom? I gotta go to the restroom. So I go down a dark hallway and they have like these red lights up in the on this pharmaceutical campus. And they make schizophrenia medications, all kinds of manage hydro crazy, right? All kinds of medications for that stuff. And there's testing in progress signs for all of that. But I go into the bathroom, which is also kind of dimly lit when I'm getting ready to leave, I'm washing my hands and whatever. And I'm like, I wonder where the door is. And I do not see a door to get out of the bathroom. And I'm like, I wonder if I'm in the lab. And because I went down the hallway, now are they watching what's going on to see how I'm starting to sweat, I'm starting to get panicked. I'm feeling the walls in this place to see where is the freaking door. Because I obviously was a clown when I went in there and I didn't pay attention how I came in. I'm yelling, help, help, screaming like crazy in this bathroom. I've been there for like 30 minutes. Finally, I'm start opening all the stall doors because nobody else is in there. And there's like a low profile door in one of the stalls to get out. So who would have thought if I get back in there and I'm sweating? I get back into the room where I was supposed to be training the people. And they're like, what the hell happened to you? And I'm like, I don't know. I'm like, I don't know if I was part of the experiment. If I was the person that became the news story that I shouldn't have been. So anyway, I digress. That was my one random business trip. You became part of the science experiment. Yeah, I did become part of the science.
SPEAKER_02Judy, one last quick KMOT story. I'm working as a sportscaster in my not. And me and a photographer head out. We're going to cover a soccer tournament up on North Hill. It's like five, six, seven, eight-year-olds playing soccer. And there's dozens of them, maybe a hundred. And we're going up there and we're going to interview a couple of kids. It's going to be a story for the sports cast that night. Well, while we're there, before we even had a chance to interview anybody, Kurt gets a call on the radio that there's a guy north of my knot with a gun walking along Highway 83. And Kurt's, I gotta leave. Do you want to come with me? And I'm like, Yeah, absolutely. So we get in the KMOT car, we start driving up to Highway 83. Well, all of a sudden we get to where it is, and there's a guy laying in the ditch on the right side of Highway 83 as you're driving north, and he's got a rifle and he's got it pointed down the highway. Immediately we pull over and we see, and the cops aren't even there. We beat the frickin' cops there. We heard the call. We're already on North Hill. So for us to get there was five minutes. Cops aren't there. Guy laying on the ditch with a rifle. Kurt immediately puts the car in reverse and backs it up, and we're like, oh my God, what's going on? Well, within a couple of seconds, beep, cops are showing up. They're balking off the highway, balking it off from the other side of the highway. And then one cop comes up to us and says, You guys got to get out of here. You guys got to back up. So Kurt puts it in reverse, and we go back another quarter of a mile and we're just kind of hanging there. And then to make a long story short, we find out the guy was hunting squirrels. He was hunting squirrels.
SPEAKER_01Judy, do you hunt squirrels next to a busy highway? Yeah, only in North. I was hunting squirrels. I was doing it right up over here by field and stream, laying in a ditch, shooting at squirrels. Meanwhile, there's cars zipping by 60 miles an hour. Anyway, just a goofy story.
SPEAKER_03I thought for sure that was going to be like that story where those that guy and his son were driving across the country with the sniper rifle out of the trunk of the car and they had the hole. I thought for sure that's where that story was going, that it was a freakazoid like that.
SPEAKER_02The DC sniper.
