  Speaker 1: transition with Transition Walk Day number one out of three.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Just getting back from the Christmas break, I had a
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: total four days off So where do you think my
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: mind is right now? How about all people in retail?
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: How do you deal with those moments where those moments
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: that you had away from all of that stress, all
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: of those people wanting and begging and kicking and screaming
• 2:45

• 2:48
  Speaker 2: For that first day? I don't know.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I got to keep it positive from somewhere. I'm gonna
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: rely on prayer on this.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: One, I think, because I ain't got it in me.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I do, but I don't.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: But what you don't want to do is you don't
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: want to waste it because we're headed into New Year's Eve,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: the week of This is where all the drunks come out.

  Speaker 1: not just one night.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Keep my shit together, I'll see you A see us.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: First day back from Christmas break, and I'm not shocked
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: by this when you walk in and you have pink
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: all over the layout of the day, and the pink
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: represents people who didn't come to work today, And the
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: reality of it all is I can't really say anything
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: because the neurovirus is what's going through this area really bad,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: to the point to where hospitals are shutting down visitors
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: and you're not going in there because they don't need
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: to have that virus come into the location. So we've
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: got employees that are out because of this virus. And
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: of course does the company show you any compassion anything, No,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: it's go.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: To the doctor.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I want to see a note by tomorrow when you
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: come back in. Oh, Judie, thanks for giving me some love.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: The mystery shoppers in the store, and I know who
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: they are because I see them all the time.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: And so what is the thing that I do.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I crank up my radio charm and go do what
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I call killing them with kindness. Go over there and
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: just be so super nice and super serve them, you know,
• 4:09

• 4:23
  Speaker 1: and he looks like Superman. But but yeah, she's here
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: and took care of her and maybe she had a
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: question about the prices, and I had no problem finding
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: out the truth when it came to prices. I don't

  Speaker 2: Don't don't, don't do it.

  Speaker 2: after Christmas. We bought too much.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, the scammers are out today. Oh and you know
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: you can take it with a grain of salt or
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: with the scammers. What you do is is that it
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: really captures your attention when they say, yes, I'm calling
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: from Western Union. You are, that's fantastic. What can I
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: do to help you today? Because we're trained over and
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: over and over again, do not ever accept a phone
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: call from Western Union and these clowns that try to
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: fool us or try to pull something over our face.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: You know, you're just sitting there and you want to
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: just go, look dick wad. You know you're not gonna
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: pull a fast one on me. And so now we
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: ended up calling Western Union to make sure.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: That this was a facade.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: But it's like, you know, you just want to rip
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: into them saying I'm onto you, ass I'm on to you,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: and you're not gonna do it on my time.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Let me let me go get a part timer and
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: we'll put them up here. Fuck no, I would never
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: do that.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: But it's like, no, if you're telling me you're from
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Western Union, will hang it up right now. I honestly
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: don't get it. I mean, it seems like this is
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: the year of the Dubai chocolate. If you've had it before,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: what did you think of it? Honestly, be honest with me, okay,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: and you can talk to your speakers, trust me, we
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: can hear you on this side. But it just seems
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: like that everybody is doing the Dubai chocolate and everybody's
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: got their own version.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: But here's the thing. None of it gives me the
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: old wow factor. It's not just me.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: I talk to people all the time, and here at
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the grocery store, all these candy bars are anywhere between
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: seventeen and twenty two dollars for.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: A candy bar Dubai chocolate. So I ask you that question.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Trust me, I can hear you.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: You get to buy some for twenty two bucks, kill
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: on on a Thursday.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: It could be seen your discount. Then you don't be
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: doing like what twenty dollars. For the love of.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: God, please do not move. There's more CTS right around
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the corner. Taking a positive look at the billion dollar
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: lottery winner plus squished frozen pizza. Ooh hey, thanks for
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: coming back to CTCs. On this section of it, we're
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: gonna be talking positive about being a billion dollar winner
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: plus facing a squished frozen pizza.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Transition Walk day number three out of four.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Inside this beautiful forest, mother nature doesn't know what it
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: wants to do. One moment, it's freezing ass cold. Next minute,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: we're gonna be like a seventy five today.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: That's how you get a good cold. That's how you
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: get sickness going on, and then let's all meet at
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: that grocery store.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Is the best way to get rid of it is
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: to give it to someone else, right, And that the
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: way it is. It's the same thing with a yawn.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: You know that's the most contagious thing on the planet. Well,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: it's the same thing about teaching people how to steal.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Man. I'll tell you what.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: You see it going down and in the shopping cart
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: with their mom or dad. So can't the kids don't
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: know they're stealing, but somewhere along the line they're gonna
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: put it all together and go Jesus, you mean I
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: don't have to work to get that food.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: I just gotta oh, well, wait a second. I gotta
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: go to the grocery store. I gotta walk up and
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: down the aisles. I gotta move quicker than most people.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: I gotta look inconspicuous. Oh that's a lot of work
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: just to get a steak. Oh yeah, it's worth it.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: In my quest to try to be positive at all times,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: not a candy coat of plastic bathroom or smile, but
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: just be positive, be upbeat. There's enough crap in the world.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: I don't need to add to it, and I need
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: to feel that in my heart. So I started things
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: off today by telling people I'm the guy that won
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: that one point seventy nine billion dollars in the Powerball
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: lottery for a Christmas Eve. I'm the guy that wanted
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: no no, I really did. And so not only did
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: I win it, but because it was Christmas Eve, I
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: felt it in my heart. It's Christmas, make someone's day.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: And so I sent it to somebody out in Arkansas,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: and so I just gave it away, and I figured
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: if I can win once in the lottery, I can
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: win twice. Right, Okay, so I'm screwing around. That really
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: didn't happen. But you know what though, the laughs, the
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: fun the oh my god, you are so fucking weird, Yeah,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: I wear that.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: How does a frozen pizza even get this way? I'm
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: looking at a it says it's a porta pizza. It's
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: a uncured pepperoni pizza, hands stretched, and this thing is
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: all squished up into a ball. Frozen pizza squished up
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: into the balls. How is that even possible? I mean,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: it's like you talk about a pizza that failed in
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: the way of can you imagine opening up that box.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: You're at home, you're starving, you get the joneses for
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: a pizza, and all of a sudden you open this
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: up and it's like, come on, and it's all squished up.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: There ain't no way in hell you're gonna cut this
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: up to share it. This was an official update on
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the squished pizza from Porto. So he comes in, he
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: gets another one. Three seconds later, after he leaves the building,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: he comes back. He and he says, this one's squished too.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: What are the chances that you would get too squished?
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: I mean squished frozen pizzas in a row like that.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I made the dude just open it up right here
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: in front of me. There was no way he was
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: gonna leave the store a second time, and all of
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: a sudden, you got a problem with your pizza again.

• 14:25
  Speaker 1: people's asses.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: That's not true. That's not true.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: You go and you study the paths of those that
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: are involved in martial arts, every one of those students,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: nobody's got the same story. The same is true about
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: being at CS at a grocery store, from the employees
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: to every single guest who has chosen to be inside
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: that store, They've all got a story, and there's a
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: purpose and a reason as well as the season as
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: to why they're there.
• 14:50

  Speaker 1: I don't mean to get sentimental here as we get
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: closer and closer to a brand new year, But lately,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: I think that's probably been one of my biggest awareness
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: buttons for twenty twenty five. Lately, you know, when people
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: walk by with their kids and I want to go
• 15:26

• 15:27
  Speaker 1: maybe the grandfather inside of me is coming out like
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: you would not believe. But I mean lately, I mean
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: it has been just amazingly heavy on my heart that
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: when I see a child and I watch them grow up,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: and I see them become teenagers, and then all of
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: a sudden they're becoming young adults. You see where I'm
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: going with this is that I meet these babies for
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: the very first time, Like I just met one that
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: was two months old, and you just sit there and
• 15:50

• 15:53

• 15:55
  Speaker 1: was a cold day. We weren't in twenty twenty six.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Yet you gave me some positive energy the very second
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: I walked in this store. A baby, it's not a

• 18:16
  Speaker 2: She came up from register number one. Not good at all.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: We're trying to figure out what the situation is if
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: she's a lack of protein, but she's about ready to
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: pass out.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: I'll keep up today. Could you read my body language? Well,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: it wasn't that. It was we just had a minor
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: in medical emergency. It was an associate.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: And while that was going on, you were involved initially.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: And then I saw you.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: At the desk trying to help somebody, and then I
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: could tell that I would.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Not leave you the fuck alone. Yeah.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: And then you told.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Me before if you if you hit a certain.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: Point, that you look for an escape out.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: I was looking to you for that, and you didn't
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: look directly at me, but I could see. So I
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: walked in the other room and dialved the front end phone,
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: so that were ringing, and I looked up and saw, yeah, yeah.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: I sure do.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: For five years, I've always gotten emotionally involved when it
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: comes to huge thefts at the store. I don't know why,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: especially when they say is your name out there on
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: the building?
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: No it's not.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Then why do you give a shit? Why do you
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: even care that somebody is stealing from the store. It's them,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: not you. There's nothing you can do. So when a
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: guy comes in and he's stealing, we literally it's right
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: here in front of me right now, two hundred and
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: seventy three dollars worth of dog food. Do you think
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: he's getting that dog food for his glory, for his
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: own dog.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: I don't think he is. Now, he could take it
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: to a flea market, he could take it to the
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: bus stop.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: But then again, there's that other side of me, and
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: this is where I get really super weak, and that
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: is is that I think that dogs are starving right
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: now because prices are so high. Everything is going but
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: whole crazier with prices, and it's like, okay, well the
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: dogs have got to eat too.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: And so it's like, oh, for the love of god.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Wow, I guess that's it. That's gonna be it for
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: the year. This is my final day for twenty twenty five.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: And it's like now, you know, when you sit back
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: and you reflect on it, you're going, wow, what a year.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: But just like anybody else's job, can you really reflect
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: on your year? What happened at your job? Do you
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: really remember the bad times? Did you forget about them already.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Are you going to try to correct the situation next year?
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: You know, because next year begins what and how many days?
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Just a few days. And you know what the cold
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: hard facts here is, and this is very hard to digest,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: is that when you get this show, this episode of CTCs.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: What year will you be in?
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Will it be the same one I'm in? Probably not,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: because that's the way the digital world works.
