  Speaker 1: Pepper has a brand new flavor. Welcome to CTCs.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: CTCES Transition Walk Day number one had a four oh yeah,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: no special concerts, no special events.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: I gotta show up.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: I always wonder how many people in retail actually think
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: that where they sit there and try to look for
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: the easy way out. Man, I've got to do this
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: so that I don't have to be there at such
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: and such time. I don't like my hours. Oh my god,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: they've taken hours away from me. Oh my god, it's ongoing.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: You've got those that aren't getting enough hours versus those
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: that bitch about getting too many hours. So let's sit
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: down and work this freaking thing out. Give the people
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: that want to work they're hours, right, that doesn't work
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: that way. Well, I'm going in today a little bit
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: nervous because I was an ass. I was an ass
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: last week. You'll hear that on the last episode. But
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: now I've got to face the monsters that made me
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: an ass. And does that make it wrong for me
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: to say something like that? Who Welcome to the ride, man,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Welcome to the ride. Well, here's something you don't wake
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: up the morning too, and that is is that we've
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: got a ton of blood on the floor. I mean
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: a lot of blood in the in the HPC section
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: over here by the band aids and bandages. So we've
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: had to close up this entire area and we're all
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: dressing up right now in different suits so that we
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: don't get the blood on people.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: So we got to figure out where this fucking blood
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: came from.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, if somebody's got a bloody nose, you know
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: what a bloody nose looks like. When it's dropping on
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: the floor. You can see the splatters. No, this is
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: large pools of bright red blood that is drying very quickly.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: So we've got the biohazard equipment on and you got
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: to get the shit cleaned up, like immediately, because this
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: is a mess for the average person. This is really
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: human liquid and it's on our floor. The only thing
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: we can figure out is that somebody either bumped their
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: foot pretty hard at home and they had to get
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: a bandage immediately, or somebody got cut somewhere here in
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: the mall area. And god knows, this is the South
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: and people of the South like to walk around with
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: no shoes on, but that had to have been where
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: the blood came from because you could sit there and
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: watch the footsteps from there. But it was an amazing
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: amount of blood. So I would like to just see
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: what the cut looks like. You know, it's like being
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: you know, you see that there's a car accident on
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: a highway.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: I ain't leave it until I see.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: The bump of the grind there the people I was
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: talking about a little bit earlier about when I had
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: the wrath of CT over the weekend and they basically
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: saw my ass side. Yeah, I was showing my ass
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: in a big way. I understand the reason why I
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: went that way. They and on the other hand, did not.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: And I don't remember what I said last week. I
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: just know this is a brand new week. And yeah,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: I was a little bit on the nervous side coming
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: in here because that meant I had to face them,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: and I would have been the very first one to
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: say I'm sorry, But then they would have just written
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: it off his ass.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Just CGB and CG. Those creative people are just freaks. Well,
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: here's the thing.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: They weren't here today, So therefore, if and whenever they
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: show up, then we'll deal with it then. But right now,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: all that matters is that we get a better job
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: done than what I had, and let's make sure that
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: we don't go through what we did on Sunday again.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Otherwise I'm gonna get pissed off again. Because there is
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: a certain level and a bar that we have got
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: to reach. And if you're gonna give me a shit job,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna say something. Oh man, we just got word
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: that one of our great, great, great players.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Is moving on.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: He's moving into a completely different direction and just feels
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: like that he's not a part of this store. Oh
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: wait a second does not solid conversations we've had in
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: past episodes in the way of trying to piece it
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: all together. And you asked that question, what am I
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: doing here? What am I doing here? What am I
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: doing here? Well, he obviously had the same questions, and
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: he decided to do something about it. So he's gonna
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: leave and go try someplace else. And you sit there
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: and you go, dude, you realize that it's all the
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: same no matter where you go.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Just the name on the building has changed. I'm still
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: at a loss of words. The way that.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Women, grown women have an open mouth is what they do.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, when I was growing up in Montana with
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: my open mouth, father the words whatever he felt in
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: the moment, he said it, and it usually embarrassed every
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: one of us in the family. I mean, I was
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: getting ready to go and change out the hand soap
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: in the women's bathroom and this girl that's from the
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: deli comes up and says, you don't want to go
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: in there? And I said, what's going on? I said
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: it did somebody puke? What's going on? She says, Man,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I took such a big ship. Man, it was like
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: a four time or when it comes to trying to
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: flush it. And I look at her and I said,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: you just admitted that to me. Now that's guye talk, man.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: And if the girls are taking over the guy talk,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: what are guys gonna talk about CCS?
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Please do not move. There's more CTCs on the way.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we've got an audit on a Friday of
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: all days, And what's this about thef's having a brand
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: new face and Doctor Pepper with that coconut flavor. Hey,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: thanks for coming back to CTCs and audit on a
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Friday of all days. Thefs have a brand new face
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: and Doctor Pepper has a brand new Playbo.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Transition walk dany number two out of three. I gotta
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: get on this path. I've had a busy, busy day
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: inside the podcast studio today with actor Mike chickliss. I
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: was also with Joe Blakowski, who's a comedian that's got
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: a brand new movie out on YouTube.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Oh god, my god.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: I was with Mark Cassen, who's also got a movie
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: called pH One that's going to be coming out very soon.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: And you know, the list goes on and on and on,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: and then you find yourself on a path trying to
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: separate the two people the podcaster, the planner, the promoter,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: the producer, the voice, the researcher. Now go and do
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: improv customer service, no scripts, entertain them? Now do I
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: really think people do that? They come because they want
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: to be entertained. I ain't going that route. That's conceited
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: if I say yes, I just want to hear their story.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I don't care a crap about my own. I'll see
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: you at Cus.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Who does a.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Store audit on a Friday? I mean, there's a side
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: of me that's going, well, that's pretty business.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Smart.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Catch people when they, you know, when they got their
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: pants down, so that you can say, look, this is
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: where you need to correct things. But it's just very
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: interesting that they're doing it on a Friday, a very
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: busy day. Everybody wants to get out of town as
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: quickly as possible. It's summer like outside and then everybody's
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: being prim and proper, and it's like, come on, do
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: we really need to do an audit on a Friday?
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: The business side of me says, yeah, Well, what about
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: the business side of you? What are you thinking on this?
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Should you be doing audits and screwing up your traffic
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: with people, especially getting guests that are stuck in their
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: lines because you're doing a freaking audit.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Oh crap, egg spill on Aisle eight.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Oh have you ever had to clean up several different
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: broken eggs in the same place on the same floor.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Not only is it gross looking, but it's like wiping
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: the snot from a one year old's nose. Oh no, no,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: how about wiping the snot from a two day year
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: old baby. I just wish I had one of those
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: little suckers, you know, and all that snot is like
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: sucked into that little tube and then you.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Wash it out.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Ah, got to clean up the freaking eggs, man, otherwise
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: people are gonna be ice skating and falling.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: On their asses.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: The typical consumer buy three for fifteen dollars. Okay, buy
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: three ginger ales for fifteen dollars. Okay, Now did you
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: hear that? Buy three for fifteen dollars, and I said, well,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: how many did you buy?
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: And he goes two.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, here's the addition here, it's buy three for fifteen dollars,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: not buy two for fifteen dollars, buy three for fifteen dollars.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: And then he's wondering why he didn't get a discount. Okay,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: I understand, what about you? And it's the typical guests
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: that show up that either want to buy lottery tickets
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: or they've got rent to pay and they don't have
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: it in their bank accounts. To what they do is
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: they go through their pantry and they bring back receipts.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: As long as you have a receipt, we're going to
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: give you back your money. And so we did one
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: that was just for eighty seven dollars return. And what
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: does she do with it? She turns around and buys
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: a dang money order because she's got to get her
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: rent paid. And it's so I don't know how to
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: react to a situation like this because I don't know
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: what I would do. So I've got to show empathy.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: I've got to show compassion because you know, this month
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: I got to pay my house payment. What am I
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: gonna do next month. So I really do listen, and
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: I do have compassion and empathy for those that are
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: bringing things in, because really, you're sacrificing.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Food for a roof God. That would be a great
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: dang Sunday morning Bible study.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Right there, CC, please do not move. There's more CTCs
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: right around the corner steps with new faces dropping uneaten
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: food off. Oh in the bread row?
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: And what's this new flavor from Dr Pepper? Hey, thanks
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: for coming back to CTCs this time around. Have a
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: brand new face dropping uneaten food off in the bread
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: row of all places, and Doctor Pepper has a brand
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: new flavor.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: CTC Transition Walk day number three out of four. I
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: have no clue why yesterday I said day number two
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: out of three. I guess I'm just used to having
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: that time off to be on that live stage. Oh,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: I'll be there next week. I've got two weekends where
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be on that live stage, just having
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: the time of my fricking life. I something came to
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: me while I was in the studio today transferring the
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: CTCs sound bites to.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: The hard drive.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: I wish more people would do what we're doing. I'm
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: not saying what I do on the digital device is
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: the right thing. But then again, there's a side of
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: me that says it is the right thing because when
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: you go in and you record different things that are
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: taking place as your individualized business. Your business doesn't have
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: to be a grocery store. But when you sit there
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: and you make a digital vocal comment about a situation
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: that's unfolding, what happens is I go back several different weeks,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: for instance, like today, it was the final week of
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: February twenty twenty six, and I'm presently standing on April eighteenth,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty six, So you can see if two months
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: have gone by, to go back and hear the changes,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: the challenges, the ups, the downs, to twist the spins
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: and the solutions that you came up with. How can
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: I incorporate those lessons into my day today? See, that's
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: the thing about it. Make a digital imprint of what
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: is freaking you out and then come back and study
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: it in two months. It's going to change you as
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: a leader. That's the thing about it. I said leader.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Anybody can play that role. There's enough fake gods out
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: there in businesses, and you can be spotted in a heartbeat.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: But if you're going to take on the position of
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: being a leader, then be one. I really am known
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: for putting my foot in my mouth.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: I really am.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: And those of you that are in different parts of
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: the world don't understand what I'm talking about. Putting your
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: foot in your mouth is you say stuff that comes
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: back and it bites you. Maybe it comes back and
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: it haunts you, it gets you in trouble. And so
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: this past week I had a program director of a
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: radio station, and trustrial radio reach out to me.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: I need you, I need you on my tape, I
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: need you to.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Do commercial production. I need you on the air. What
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: are the chances that we can get you to come
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: back into radio? And you know, first of all, the
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: ego is going, God dang, this is you know, we
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: all search for that idea where we want to go
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: back to it because the conditioners are perfect. All the
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: little beginners that wanted to do terrestrial radio have said, look, man,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: it really sucks in this business where I'm getting paid much.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: But then the true.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Broadcasters are the ones that are going, hey, look, you
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: know I'm going to give it all, my everything I've
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: gone and just make things happen. So, but when I
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: told the guy, this was the first time in six
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: years that I've said this. I said, if you think
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: I'm dedicated and loyal to that grocery store, do not
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: ever think that I'm may be there with them for
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: six years, but I do not owe them my future.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: And I went, oh, crap, did I just put my
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: foot in my mouth. I'll keep you up to date.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: I think we're giving a daily dose of what it's
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: like to be invincible, or how about financially invincible in
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: the way of it doesn't matter what's going on in
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: the world and how high the gas prices.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: Are, We're invincible.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: We're gonna continue spending, We're gonna continue traveling, We're gonna
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: continue being who we are as a generation. And it's
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: I want to find it inspiring, but at the same time,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: it scares the bujebi's at me because you're gonna spend
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: and spend and spend and spend, and then all of
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: a sudden.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: You're gonna run out.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: This kind of goes with the last comment about what
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: are people doing with their money and why do they spend, spend,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: spend when the whole fricking world is falling apart.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Part part.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Somebody has like forty dollars with a meat here, and
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: I'm going they're coming back for forty dollars with a meat,
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: and the meat departments looking at me saying, well, do
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: I break it up? And I put it back in.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: I say, no, they're coming back. Nobody's going to spend
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: forty dollars on meat and then leave it behind and
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: not come back and get it. They want to argue
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: with me, and I just and you know, he just
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: looked at him and say, do.

  Speaker 2: But this is what I'm going to do, and that
• 14:04

• 14:05
  Speaker 2: coal department.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you they're coming back. They're going. No, they
• 14:09

• 14:20
  Speaker 3: the bike. Yeah, he stepped up on the bike from
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: the rap side.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: He's now on the park by the side. Okay, I'll
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: call it the carry, I'll let them know it.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Is it a typical?

• 14:47
  Speaker 2: stealing everything.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: It's like.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: I almost feel like I should be giving Chryl Crow
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: some royalties here today, my positive song All day today.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: When things are going down and he stepp are just
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: beating the crap out of.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: Us, I'll sit there and go, I'm soaking up the sunhun.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: And that's all I do. When it starts getting to
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: be negative, I'm soaking up the shan nothing else. So
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: like if somebody comes in and they said, look, man,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: you guys, rip me off. I don't know why I
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: got this chick and it's ruined.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: Soaking up the sun hun.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Jokingly, we call them easter eggs. That's when you're walking
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: down a grocery store lane and you look to the
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: right and it's like, whoa half eaten chicken?
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: Great.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Then you go a little bit further and somebody has
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: a doctor pepper big bottle in the middle of nowhere.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: I've always wanted to go on to the store cameras
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: and see who actually did that, and then just kind
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: of mention it to them the next time that I
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: see them in the store. But then then the other
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: side of my brain you get the good side, and
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: you got the bad side.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: The other side is saying you don't have the balls
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: to do that. Oh my god.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: If somebody is known for just dropping stuff off in
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: the lanes when I have the balls, just sit there
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: and say, I saw what you did last night, motherfucker.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Get your ass back in here and put that goddamn
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: doctor Pepper away.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Couldn't do it, could not do it? What about you?
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Transition walk gay number four out of four? Finally here,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Lord have mercy. Oh yeah, I'm gonna preach that Bible today.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: No I'm not.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, no no. It's freezing inside this
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: forest today. This is one of those cold spells that
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: comes through. I think it's the universe just basically saying, hey, look,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: you stupid butt nook. You think you're getting summer right
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: there in the middle of April. You know, get a
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: grip on life, buddy. It's like, see us, man, you
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: think I'm gonna put you in a position where you're
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: not gonna be challenged and put in an area of
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: your life where you're gonna.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: Wish you just weren't there. Get your jump together. I'll
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: see you at CS.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: It was a strange moment. Marcia and I were at
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: the front of the store and this gentleman who we
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: have seen multiple multiple times, usually the last hour of
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: the day, usually the last ten minutes of that last
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: hour of the day. He'll come walking in and he
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: wants the grocery shop in ten minutes and then gets
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: really pissed off at us because it's past closing time
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: and he's still shopping for.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Bread, soda, whatever.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: He doesn't respect that the store is closed and he
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: feels that his shopping is more important. I get it. Look,
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: it's who we are as a generation. But last night
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: he got the attention of Marsha and I at the
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: front desk. He walks right beside us and literally says,
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry that I don't believe in your religion, but
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: you better get over yourself. I looked at Marsian and
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: I said, did he just say what I think? He
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: just said, I'm sorry, I don't believe in your religion,
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: you better get over yourself. And I looked at marsh
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: I said, when did I talk to him about religion?
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: And she goes, I don't know, I did you ever
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: talk to him about religion. No, I never did. And
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: he said it a second time and then a third
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: time right there at the front of the damn store.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: And then it wasn't until when I was putting things
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: back in the store because there were so many thefts
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: yesterday that occurred to me, what is this guy up
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: to the martial artists in me?
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: The awareness is up? Am I crazy to think like that? Sure?
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: I am, sure I am. But if I see him again,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: my eyes are going to be on him so that
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: the next time he says and I'm sorry that I
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: don't believe in your religion, to get over yourself, I'm
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: gonna make sure his hands are not reaching inside that
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: jacket that he wears to pull something out. What we face, man,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: it's what we face. You don't know when it's gonna happen.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: It's just that you got to be prepared for when
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: it happens. If this is the first time you've heard CTCs,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: then this is probably gonna be the first time you
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: hear me say this. You know, Sundays are pretty much
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: shit shows Sundays. And he saiday, I'm coming in at
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: three o'clock because they believe that cutting back everybody's hours.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: I get it. I've been studying it.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to understand it, because you know, you're making
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: a shit ton of money up there at those registers,
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: but you're cutting back your employees.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: Fuck, what the hell's all about? Huh, you're making money,
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: You're a billion dollar company. Anyway.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna bitch. What I'm gonna say, though, is
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: where you at? Sut Where are you at?
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Cut? Where are you at?
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: How about putting things away that the morning team could
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: not put away?
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: I love it. I'm addicted to it.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: When somebody comes into the store with a product I
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: have never seen in my entire life, and you look
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: at it, you study it. I hold the bottles, the
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: empty bottles. I'm really getting into what it is. I
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: see what it's about, and you look for basically, not
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: just what the product is, but what the definition of
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: the product is, in other words, how is it used?
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: What is it used for?
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: And so we did the process of the elimination, and
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: so the first time around, we're looking for body wash.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: It's not in body wash. So I turn around, I
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: go into the ladies section of the HBC. Not there,
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: And I'm thinking, just for the hell of it. Let's
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: go over to the kids section, because you happen to
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: say in your conversation your grandchildren, we come over here,
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: we find it.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: God damn it. That is the best victory.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Doctor Pepper has a brand new flavor for the brand
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: new summer season.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: It's Doctor Pepper.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Are you ready for this creamy coconut?
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Are you kidding me?
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Which goes and competes against the dirty Mountain dew which
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: comes out and so I'm very excited to try this.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: In fact, we're gonna try it with everybody else. But
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: it's Doctor Pepper's creamy coconut.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Really. The cans themselves are pretty cool.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: I like the color of blue. It's not even a
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: tarhell blue or a turquoise. What would you say it is.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's close to tar hill blue, but it's
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: more metallity.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's definitely got that. I could see a
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: car that color.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Oh oh, I'm not seeing a lot of fizz and
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: that's scary.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: That's interesting. Oh, it smells coconut. Is that a word?
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Coconut? Especially?
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: It doesn't really smell like anything.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: I don't know. It's got a coconut flavor.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Very summertime Hey, how are you welcome to the party?
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: See a train of the world.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: We got, well, okay, that's right, Okay, let me get Ryan.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Yep, Hey, Ryan, we need to have a propane exchange.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: The one that we gave in before doesn't work, so
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: we got we're gonna exchange it again.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: Okay, sir, there you go, He'll meet you right out there.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: You bet you're bad. What do you think? Why?
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Why is it a lot of these sodas tastes like
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: something that's from the clean aisle at a grocery store.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: If it's like, it's like it should be for breeze or.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: Something because they're trying too much. Is that what it is?
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Maybe?
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: Do you like it?
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know, not yet, okay, yeah, okay, yeah, but
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: still undecided.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: We're trying out the new doctor pepper creamy coconuts.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: I wish I could say this is a huge, major first,
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: but it's not. When it comes to the younger generation,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: they will come up with every excuse to come to
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: work just so they can come to work, and then
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: they will come up with an excuse as to why they've.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: Got to go, and then what do we do? We
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: sit here and say just just get the fuck out
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: of here, just go, just go.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: So we had a guy at number six today and
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: he took his break at six fifteen. Six point thirty
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: comes along as fifteen minute break is over, six forty
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: five comes along?
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: Where the hell is he?
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: And then so we end up calling him and he says, oh,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: I quit what what them?
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: And you want me to trust people? You have to.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: I mean that's what this is all about.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: No matter what, do not judge a book by its cover,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: And don't judge a person if you think they're gonna
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: be that kind of a person that's just gonna walk out,
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: don't do it.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: You can't until they do do it.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Talk about following a paper trail. You familiar with that term,
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: following a paper trail. So I'm going down Aisle number five,
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: that's where the popcorn is and the chips and the
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: crackers and things. And about halfway down Aisle number five,
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, it smells like somebody just died, I mean
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: just crapped their pants in a huge way. So honestly,
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: what I did was I started looking on the floor
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: to find out.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: If anything dribbled out.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: I really know, I really did because I've been that
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: guy who's had to clean up the floor a few
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: times because somebody had to go to the bathroom so
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: bad and they shut their pants.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: And it went down to the floor.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: So and then I'm thinking, God, damn, this guy died
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: or a woman, and so what I'm thinking, well, where
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: did this even come from? So then about maybe ten
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: fifteen minutes later, I got to take a leak, man,
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: because I've been doing these these soft drinks, these doctor
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: peppers with coconut, so I gotta take a leak.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: I walk into the bathroom. Jesus God Almighty. The only
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: thing I can hope is that that was up the
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: fart on.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Number five, almost shark their pants, and then all of
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: a sudden they end up in the bathroom and they.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: Left me that. Oh my fucking god. A right, it's
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: time for the big escape? Did I say that? Right?
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: Did I say escape? Like an e escape? Escape? Escape?
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: That's a radio DJs. Andfore you're right there people that
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: will use the word escape and they're saying it completely
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: one hundred percent wrong. It is time for the escape
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: to go, to move forward, to have a good time out.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: There in the real world of whatever it is. That
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: i'd during the week. Oh you don't want to know
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: what I do during the week.
• 24:02
