• 1:41
  Speaker 3: someone who's basically put a lot of focus on falling
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: back in love with your mid life. A lot of
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: women have a tough time with that. Now, Am I
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: going to bring that up at the grocery store?
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know that one could be
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: a tough one anyway. I'm in this forest, here we go.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: It feels like spring, but it's only Februarry that can
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: be a nasty game. That's why I say the windows
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: in your house are liars, and so are the people
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: that come to shop at your grocery store. Every day
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: starts off uniquely. Did I say that right? Every day
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: starts off unique? Or is it every day starts off uniquely? Hell,
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm in the middle of a grocery
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: store and there are a flood of people here. But
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: this is how my unique day began.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: New guy Bill. Guess what.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: I've been working on this for a long time. Guess
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: who I just landed and interview with next Tuesday. Dude,
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: we're talking about one of the biggest of all time.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Dude, you're not gonna believe this. I have busted but
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: talking to PR people, road managers.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: I've been talking to these huge amounts of people to
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: finally get someone to say, yeah, we'll do it.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: And he goes, who are going to talk to?
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: I said, the Scorpions, And he goes, who, you know,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: the Scorpions. They're going to be doing a residency in Vegas.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: The Scorpions do Dude, I have no idea.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: This has got to stop.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: I had three nights last week where I rebuilt this
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: dang vacuma cleaner. I physically took it apart twice and
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: then a third time. On Sunday, I come in here
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: and it is full to the max the bags. So
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: that means there's probably more damage in there because it's
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: probably too full of dirt and everything is all clogged up.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Again.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: This is gonna see Valentine's Day weekend is a very
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: difficult day to play with in the retail business.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: And here's the reason why.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Unless I physically know that you're coming into the location
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: to get something for Valentine's Day, and ninety percent of
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: the time you don't even know if it's for you
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: the person that's buying it, You could be buying it
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: for somebody else. But you sit there and say, I
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: hope you have a great Valentine's weekend. Oh really, so
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: you think I'm in love? How do you know I'm
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: not going through a divorce?
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: What do you say?
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Seriously, dude, you know all I was trying to do
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: is just pick up some flowers for my friend.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: And now you're really putting a guilt trip on me. No,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: I'm not.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: I'm not trying to put a guy. I just wanted
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: to wish you a happy Valentine's Day weekend. No, dude,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: you cross the line. You really went overboard on this one.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: And I really think that what you need to do
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: is you need to stop really kind of wishing people
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: a happy Valentine's Day.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: All right, I'll quit doing it.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: I should start a new show called This Week in
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: the Life and Times of a con Artist.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Guy walks in and he says, hey, I forgot my pickles.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Man, it was one of those big, big jars of pickles,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: you know, you get back there in the chilled section,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: and of course my mind is going, yeah, the most
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: expensive pickles in the store.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know which ones you're talking about. Yeah, man,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I was.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: I was way on my side of town, and I
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: realized I forgot him.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Do you have do you have a receipt? No no,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: no no no. Did you use your store card? No?
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: No no no no no no.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: And so we were kind of looking at him, going,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: so you come to this store, which is not even
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: your regular store, and you want to get your pickles back?
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, you guys do that right, Yeah, I know
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: that ain't gonna happen.

  Speaker 2: I love these crackheads who are stealing shit from our store.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Brother is man, what do you mean you brought it in.
• 5:02

  Speaker 2: Yeah, you see, I brought it in.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: I didn't sit here and stew it's away.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: I got it from down there Walgreens.

  Speaker 3: And it's got, of course, our stickers on it, and
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: it's got our numbers and everything on it that identify
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: it with us. But you know, they think that we
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: are stupid. The last thing we are is stupid. We're
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: aware and our hands are tied behind our back fifty
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: thousand times. But you have a manager who can go
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: after you.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Look used to sing, I used to yo, it's just cleaning,
• 5:41

  Speaker 3: Transition Walk day number two out of three Inside this
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: beautiful forest. Transition walking is an opportunity to kind of
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: sift through your multiple layers of personalities and the changes
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: that come with them.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: What you mean, I'm not the only one that does this.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Who imagine being inside the recording studio hosting a show
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: and your guest is Academy Award winner f Murray Abraham,
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: one of the most down to earth, fun loving people
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: you will ever meet, and then your next step is
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: to take a transition walk through this beautiful forest so
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: that you can get ready to go to a grocery store.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: What hey, hey, let me understand this.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: How do you go from talking to one of the
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: most famous people in Hollywood to working at a grocery store.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: You know, I guess it's all based on one thing.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: How many of these people in acting are bussing tables
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: in Hollywood, are working at a grocery store, are doing
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: everyday things in the community. Because people are who we study,
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: and then we become on that camera.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Ooh god, dang, that's fucking deep. That's my shit right there.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'll see you and see us.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: We just got word that the beer company that we've
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: been talking about for the past probably maybe month, month
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: and a half, that got in big trouble and they
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: ended up closing the doors. We still have about four
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: thousand dollars with a beer in the back room that
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: it's got to go. It's got to go now. We've
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: got to count it out. We need to get our
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: money back, we need to do something. But the business
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: side of the grocery store businesses is that when the
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: business goes out of business, I want my money back.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: And you better make that move.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: We presently have a situation on self check We have
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: a girl maybe twenty one twenty two with a child
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: on the phone, and she is not putting things across
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: the register in self checkout. Basically, what she's doing, she's
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: making a look like that she's going through the register,
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: and then she's just putting in their sack, which is
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: sending the alarms off crazily. So what happens is we
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: went over there to look at it, and she will
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: not let us anywhere near the screen. So we said
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: we need to see the screen, otherwise the alarm is
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: still going to keep going off. Get away from me,
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: get away from me, getting away from me. Okay, we're
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: gonna get away from you. So then we're looking in
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: the bag. All we want to do is we just
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: want to see what's in the bag and what's not
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: on that register, what's not on that screen. And she
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: grabs one of our coworkers by the arm says get
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: away from me. And so now that in itself is assault.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: And so we went into the bags, got the stuff
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: out that we didn't see on the screen, and she's pissed.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: She's pissed because she thinks we're accusing her staff. Big
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: trivia question for you. I don't know what day it
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: is where you are, as you can tell, I'm losing
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: my voice already because this is what three or four
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: weeks in a row where we've had these astronomical, out
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: of control crowds. Who is the busiest group inside a
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: grocery store this particular weekend, which is Valentine's Day? Of course,
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: it's the floral department, and so you know, I had
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: to do it.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: I had to do it.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: I love those girls so much over there because they're
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: so giving to us when we are really super busy.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: What they do is they go and they make sure
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: that we're taken care of. So bottom ofll pizza, we
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: really do. I'm going to cuss here, and why I
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: forewarn you on that. I don't know why, because we're
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: so deep into this week's show. But what the fuck
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: happened to Real Cereal?
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, here's cereal? Here?
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Three wishes is one, Red Panda Puffs is another one.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, we've got all here's when I hear magic
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: Spoon Cereal? What happened to the originals?
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Where are they?
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: And who is buying a total unnamed brand like that.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: Is there something on these boxes where they physically the
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: kids would.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Go, God, mom, I don't have that.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's this grain free cereal. Oh that's gonna
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: get a little four year old. Oh that's really You're
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: gonna get them some numbers on that one.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Seriously.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, here's Coco Crispy Rice, but it has nothing
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: to do with Kellogg's or anything like that. So I'm
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: gonna ask it again, where the fuck is the real cereal?
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: And just like that, Valentine's Day Eve is over. There's
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: a side of me that wishes that more real, regular
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: people could see what goes on behind the scenes to
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: make sure that these shelves are stocked, the balloons are
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: pumped up, the flowers are looking and smelling great, the
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: candies are ready, There's plenty of candy to choose from.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: I wish people would see how that even falls into place.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: And then there's a side of me that goes along
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: the way, and I talk about this so much on CTCs,
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: and that is show us the wizard behind your curtain.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: And what I mean by that is is that show
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: me your your truth, show me what's going on inside
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: your place of business, and then I start to think
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: about it. There are certain things that the real regular
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: person doesn't need to know. You don't need to see
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: one on behind the scenes. The only thing that I
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: really want you to experience are the memories that you're
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: going to create.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Oh god, he got heavy.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Ah ah Oh it must be Valentine Day to death
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: here ah put that on a Hallmark card.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Please don't move.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: There's more CTCs right around the corner, facing the customer
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: beast sharing books and trying to locate lost cars. Hey,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: thanks for coming back to CTCs facing the customer beast
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: sharing books and you can't find your car. What do
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: you mean you can't find your car?
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: Transition Walk day number three out of four inside this
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: beautiful forest.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Valentine's Day.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Who's gonna be in that store today? When we see
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: some of that public display, you know, holding onto hands,
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: some nestling up to each other, sharing little inside secrets.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: They'll probably buy ice cream. That's that's kind of a
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: romantic thing. Sharing cookies. We have a lot of free cookies.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: We'll probably see adults going into that kind of thing.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: So it's one of those things where don't go in
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: there with something to say, go in there to watch
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: love and blossom. Ah, what a poet, No wonder I'm
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: in this forest.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's keep it cool, let's keep it positive.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: More importantly, we're with new guide Bill. After all these days,
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: do you think you learned any new jokes or anything?
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: Probably not new guy Bill.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: I'll see you see us.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Number one reason why, no matter how bad your day
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: is going, or how much you hate your life or
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: everything stinks, that when you walk into your grocery store
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: and your job is to take care of people, then
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: what you've got to do is you've got to pay
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: attention to them. So I learned when I first came
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: in at this couple, they were just being real assholes
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: because they're going to they they're their EBT card was
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: not working and so everybody's a's going tired to them
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: that put it in the number, put in the number
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: put in then.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: And it pissed off the guests.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: So when I got here, I heard the story, and
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: I'm going, fuck, I'm not gonna let it piss me off.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: So I ended up taking care of them and then
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: kill them with kindness is what I say. I'm gonna
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: kill them with kindness, I do that, and what do.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: They give me? A fifty dollars tip? Baby, God bless
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: you all, God bless me.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: This really is a day of celebration inside the grocery store.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: And the reason why is and this is what I
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: want you do. I'm gonna try to set it up
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: here and hopefully I'll set it up perfectly for you.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: So it all begins when we do Labor Day weekend.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Labor Day weekend goes into Halloween, Halloween, Thanksgiving. Just getting
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: the entire picture here, These are several weeks of just
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: endless amounts of people. Okay, now throw in the hurricane season. Jesus,
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: now it's just exploded. Now throw in a severe thunderstorm morning.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: God.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Now let's getting even more crowded. So by the time
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: we get to Valentine's Day, we are so fucking people gone.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's like our nerves are shot. We can't
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: go to Walmart and get new nerves. We can't get
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: it for Amazon, but we're shot. So today's a celebration
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: because this is fucking it. This is it when it
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: comes to the holidays, this is it. But are they
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: paying you now not to say anything to me? Because
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: you haven't said shit to me since I got no you.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Walk, that's been busy. And I went over and started
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: helping out, and you were helping out, and then I
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: finally got to take a lunch.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: Well you owe CTCs listeners an excuse or a reason
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: why you don't know who the Scorpions are because I
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: made a big skink about it on the first day
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: of it. Yeah, I'm you and I spoke and then
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't know who the hell they are.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: And then I went and I started going through their
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: catalog and I'm like, well, yeah, I've heard of them.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: I just I'm forty six.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: I don't know why they have not left an impression
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: on me, right, especially somebody who's in you know, well,
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: I like it in touch with new rock because that
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: was definitely your generation.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Well I like the thing, but I mean, I don't
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: fucking know, man, one of those Scots. You ever hear
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: a song and it predates you by twenty thirty years,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you're like, God, damn, that's a great song.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: You go.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: How the fuck did I miss that song for all
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: those years? I must be what happened that fucking.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: Man sees why I am with with led Zeppelin is
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: that that was my generation. But I couldn't tell you
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: anything about led Zeppelin, you know, damn music.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, well, actually Jimmy Page did well well. Uh,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: don't discount for the fucking leads here. Robert Plant. Yeah, oh,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: my fucking god. Man, I was talented as fuck. Yeah.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: I mean they created it. Like most good bands, they're
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: a good fusion. So we're my first creative months. Yeah.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: Wow. I first, it's got to be a Southern thing
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: when it comes to communicating, where people go up into
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: a completely different octave when they're speaking.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: See day, what's going on? And so you give it
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: back to him, Yo, I'm doing good. But then your guests.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Are looking at you, going doing it my part of
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: the Mickey Mouse fun Club or something, what's going on here?
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: But it does.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: It just seems like Southerners have this way of instead
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: of just saying, hey man, what's going on?
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what's going on? You're going into a higher falsetto.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: It's like, oh man, And then when I say up there,
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: then it's like, oh god, I'm gonna talk like this
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: for the rest of the day.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Oh how irritating.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: Oh Mickey one of the things that I find joy
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: in doing is that with all the different artists and
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: stuff that I share conversations with on the podcast, a lot.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Of them are YA authors, and so they.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: Send me the books, the YA books young adults and
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: even younger, and so instead of keeping the books, what
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: I like to do is I like to give it
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: to parents who basically, you know, they let their little
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: ones come into the store and I'm going, you know what,
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: I don't need the books.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: I'm not throwing away the books. I'm not going to
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: donate the books.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: I'm just starting to give them to people that would
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: appreciate the books. Because every little one, I don't care
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: what age you are.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Every child, they cherish.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Their own book, not a library book, their own book.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: So I find great joy in giving them, quite possibly
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: their first ever book. I love being out here in
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: the parking lot helping people find their cars. I mean,
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: I think we have like eight rows. Somewhere in this
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: eight row collection. Somebody's car is currently sitting. And you know,
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: we have that on our fobs where we go ahead
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: and we grab that little button and try to get
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: us to go b b b b bepp beppep. Yeah, Well,
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: if you're not close enough, it doesn't happen. But this
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: guy is pretty low man. He's he's very.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Sad because he can't figure out where his car is.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: And he's eight rows.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: We've got four people out here from the store trying
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: to figure out where this car is, and he's completely
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: on the different side than what we are.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Can't find it.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's looking for an F one fifty gray.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: He says it's an XLT. And I'm sitting here looking
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: at this park. First of all, we are overflowing with
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: people period right now because.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Of this holiday.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: And I mean I literally I do not see a
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: gray colored XLT from four and it's so we're still looking.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: But there's four of us out here now with this guy.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: And now I'm trying to figure out with this gigantic
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: shopping center, is it even here?
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Is it even in this section?
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Tonight we're going to be taste testing.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Pooski's Poochki's, and I hope.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: To god I'm pronouncing it right because it's spelled pac
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: z k I.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: It is a Polish.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Dessert and tonight it's a chocolate ice Barbarian cream.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Trust me, if you go back a year on cccs.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: You're going to see that we were doing Poochki's even
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: back then, because it's once a year, and when you
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: see it in the store for the limited time that
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: it isn't trust me as much as we have sold
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: today because all the Polish visitors came in and grabbed it.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: You're not going to be able to get it again
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: for another year. But that's what we're going to be
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: trying tonight. The Poochk's the Barvarian cream.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Okay, so we're doing a calorie check. Calorie is four hundred?
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Is that bad?
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: I mean it's like a cholesterol is only three percent,
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: sodium is fifteen percent of Jesus, We're gonna be super
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: thirsty after this.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: But I mean it's like, I mean, it's half the work. Yeah,
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: let's do it, okay, because I really need to get better.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: Well, I guarantee you're gonna look at the US actual
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: tape to open it, so that means I have to
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: rip the box.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: Open for the moment. Gone, I'm a guy. I don't
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: have that kind of skill. Oh, I see it. I
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: guess I can. That's my wife.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: That's fine, that's inconvenient.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Look it da.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: Well I'm gonna be a pig. I'm doing a full one, okay,
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: only because I've had these before. This is my third
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: year with nice and solid. So did you want to
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: how do you want to cut it?
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna do it your.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Knife okay, Okay, yeah you can cut it.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh they're kind of still are they kind of stale? Yes? Uh,
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: it's well they're coming from Poland. What are you talking
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: about it? You probably had to go through Ukraine to
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: get here. Oh yeah, it's a stale.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't like my donus bresh, so it's got
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: kind of a stale, kind of a flavor to it.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Mm perfect.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: What do you think? According to Brian, it's real chocolate.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: It's not like I got Krispy Kreme or anything like
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: that where they're really chemicals and all that kind of stuff.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: What do you think? It's dry?
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: So that's gonna give us a bad points to it's dry. Oh,
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: Transition walk, day number four out of four. I really
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: don't know how long this is going to last. This
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: forest floor is under water. It's rare. I don't know
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: if you can even hear the brain. It's it's really
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: coming down. It's very gray. It's very cold out here.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: It's it's kind of weird when you look at your
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: forest floor and you see that you're walking through basically
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: a universal creek, not not one that's here all the time,
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: but only when it storms like this. So, but you
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: know how I am about CS and this transition walk,
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: multiple mindsets and mood swings, you know, I come here
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: to piece things together, to learn more and then going
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: to see us with a clear heart, which I invite
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: a lot of people to do that, to take a
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: transition walk so that you're not such a button nook
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: when you're at work, but the rain so that you
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: can face those tough times to just keep going, to
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: keep growing. So I don't want to preach on you here,
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: that's not my thing. I mean, it's really super wet
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: out here. We're going to go as far as we
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: can because Jesus, I don't know. Well, do you like
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: that there's some preaching for you, Jesus, I don't know. Jesus,
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I'll see you and see us walking
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: into the store. O, my god, there's hardly anybody parked
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: in the parking lot. I mean, after what we've seen
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: for the past three weeks with the ice.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Storm and then the eleven niches.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: Of snow and then Valentine's Day. Maybe people have fucking
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: finally run out of money. God damn, this could actually
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: be a blessing today. Keep these guys out of here.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: But I mean, there's nobody here baking soda and tortilla shells,
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: you know, for tacos, soft shelled tacos or whatever you're
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: gonna use your tortilla shell for. Those are the two
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: hardest things to find in the store. And the reason
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: why is because they're in one hundred percent awkward different places.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: It's not where you think they would be. And I
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: would love to see the research behind that to find
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: out why is it up there? And here's what I
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: bet we would find. We didn't know what to do
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: with it, so that's where we put it. Wow, strange
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: twist of fate. Five years, this group of people from
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: a nail polishing business come in here every day. Every
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: one of them win anywhere between two hundred and fifty
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: to five hundred dollars in the lottery every day because
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: they're playing cash pop. Okay, they've mastered the art of pop.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: So the one leading lady, her name is Jenny or
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: it was Jenny got caught today stealing groceries that she
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: goes through the store. She puts them all in the bag,
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: goes over to the lottery machine, and then walks out
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: nearly two hundred dollars for the groceries. She's winning two
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: fifty to five hundred every single freaking day. And she
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: got busted with that many groceries in a bag that
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: she stole, and so they caught her outside, made her
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: come in and pay for it. And this was their excuse.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: Oh I forgot, I forgot that I had these really
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: oh god, oh my god on this day, and I'm
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: glad that they waited until after the big holidays. Had
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: to take my test for Western Union. You have to
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: do it like every six months, and it's a lot,
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: a lot, a lot of reading, a lot of pre quizzes,
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: and then it leads you up to the big test,
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: which is you've got to get it one hundred percent
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: or you start all over. And you only get three
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: times to take it. And man, I'll tell you what.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: You learn new things every single time. And the one
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: where I always laugh out loud. You cannot get a
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: money order or Western Union if you're using money that
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: you got when you sold marijuana, not pot, not dope marijuana.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: And so of course I'm sitting there thinking, well, what
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: happens if this dude is like selling THC liquid? I mean,
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: that's legal, kind of sort of right, it is, but
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: it isn't what happens if he's making money off that?
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: Can he pay his house payment? I don't know, it's
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: still pot, right, I don't know.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: What would you do. Here's something you don't see every day,
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: and then if.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: You did, oh god, it'd be gross. It's another gross
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: grocery store moments. Yeah, the superflu's going around. And first
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: of all, kudos to employees that do show up no
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: matter what how they feel, you know what's going through
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: their head, you know, no matter what they show up,
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: they put on a show. And this poor guy wasn't
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: feeling well. And the first thing he could find was
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: his hand. What went into his hand? Oh, everything that
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: was in his stomach is.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: What it was.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: At least he didn't do it on the floor. It
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: was in his hands, and so we moved quickly to
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: hurry up and get it into a trash can. What
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: trash can, you might ask, Well, it's the lottery trash can.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: So I look at him, I go, are you not
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: going to take it out? We should be throwing that
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: entire trash can away because that's human fluid.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Nobody moved.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: Nobody's still moving, which is pissing me off because it's.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Like, get that thing out of here. Nobody's moving, so
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: now it'll be me. It'll be me.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: So I've got to get you know, get the hasmac
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: junk on and make sure I don't catch the superfluat.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: I'm going up to the trash can now. Because it's
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: got to be cleaned up. I don't smell anything, because
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: you would think that with that happening, there would be smell. Right,
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: let me go through it. Ooh ooh okay, but you know,
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: being a typical guy, guys will be guys boys. You know,
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: when we're little, we do stupid stuff, and then being
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: an adult a guy, I'm gonna.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Do stupid stuff. Okay, we gotta get this cleaned up.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: I I just had to see it for myself, and
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: that's stupid.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: That's such a guy thing.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: Oh oh god, what a mess. Oh okay, still no smell,
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: but oh god.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: It's kind of really weird.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: If you go back to CTCs, way back right before
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: Labor Day weekend, you're gonna hear me talk about, well,

• 26:39
  Speaker 3: slow down until Valentine's Day. And now Valentine's Day is over,
• 26:45

• 26:57

• 26:59
  Speaker 3: disbelief because it's it's.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Like, how how did we get through that?
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: With the hurricane threats, with the ice storms, the major thunderstorms,
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: and now let's throw in that eleven inches of snow
• 27:12
