  Speaker 3: back to back to back to back that I actually

  Speaker 3: had to plan for this day, my god, over a
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: week ago, from the show prepping to physically getting involved
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: with pre programming, which is this right over your head.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: I understand that because it's the podcasting world and not
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: too many people understand the performance of it all as
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: well as the programming of it all. But then you
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: go to CS so how the hell are these two
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: people going to get along with each other? The podcaster
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: who has busted a serious ass for the past couple
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: of weeks to where we are right now, and to
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: a grocery store and have to deal with reality in
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: the moment of now. Now you know why I suggest
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: that we all take a transition walk so that you
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: can separate your personalities and do not deny me when
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: I say that you've got several different personalities.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: You are aligned to yourself if you say that.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: I love it when these martial artists come through the store,
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: little ones and little ones maybe seven to ten years
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: old and being a third don you know, it's like
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: you know you've always the one thing that we were
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: always taught bring yourself down to their level and to
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: speak exactly what they're learning and how to do a
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: better block and how to count to sand and Korean
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: and stuff. You have no idea what that does to
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: my soul, just to see these guys, because they're going
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: to grow up to be black belts one day, and I'm
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: gonna say, do you remember when you were a white
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: belt with a red stripe?
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Bonus check day.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: We do this twice a year where the employees get
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: what's called a profit sharing check, and sometimes.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: It's in a really good position of thought.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Other times you're going, Jesus, I know we worked harder
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: than that, especially coming out of christ holiday season. So
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: I usually don't look at how much is on the check.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: I don't want to know, and thank God in Heaven
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: that it's direct deposit because this way I don't have
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: to know.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Do I go in there and check? No.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: I do everything I can not to check, because I
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: don't want to sit here and think that what the
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: fuck are you doing at a grocery store.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: You're wasting your time. You only made that, and it's
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: like stop it.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: You've got to be positive sometime in you're life, dude,
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: you're gonna spoil like an apple. We just got a
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: word here at the store that one of our coworkers
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: has been shot, not once, but twice. Nothing real serious,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: But then again, you've been shot anything like that, It
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: is serious, right. But she has reported, and everybody else
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: is reporting to us that it was two shots. It
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: was one in the lower part of the ankle and
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: one in the calf. I was in someone's house and
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: somebody from across the street was taking a pot shot
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: at the house. There was a graduation party taking place
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: on the inside, and she claims, she claims, this is
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: what I've heard from her face to face. She goes,
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: I had no idea. I mean, I ran with my
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: friends and all of a sudden, my body started shaking,
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: and she goes, that's when I knew something wasn't right.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: I'm completely fascinated with the story because as a third
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: degree black belt, one of the things that I really
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: put a lot of interest in is what other people
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: have experienced. In fact, when I was talking with her,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: I did ask I said, what did you see, what
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: did you feel? What did you hear? That's going to
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: make you wiser in the future and why she was
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: so open with me, I don't know. But even though
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: things were going pretty wrong in her chapters, she goes,
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: I was just in the house and we heard these sounds,
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: these pops, and she says, and then everybody started running.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: She says, That's all I remember is running.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: But then when everything stopped is when I started shaking.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: That's when I knew something was really wrong.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Please do not move. There's more CTCs right around the corner.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: College hoops are alive and well in Carolina celebrating thirty
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: three years had one business and the big payoff in
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the end, plus donating food. We're I finally gonna do it. Hey,

• 5:22
  Speaker 3: way through this force on a spring day. Here's something
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: for those that are in retail that you might be
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: able to relate with. You're bending down to take your

  Speaker 3: I know I'm sick, but I have to make my money.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Oh oh oh oh, hold.

  Speaker 2: the store early tonight, Oh yeah. Can I say that?
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: If you've listened to past CTCs episodes, then what that
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: usually means is we're gonna be busting some serious ass
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: moving everything out of the store. We've got to get
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: to the wax that's below all of the stuff. So
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: that means somebody as old as I am, we're gonna
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: be feeling this, and you're gonna be going, oh my god,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: what is the situation? How can we get by this?
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: What? What is the outcome? The plan?
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: The Oh my god, am I gonna turn into a
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: flat Stanley here? And everybody's gonna want a picture of
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: what I used to look like? Because I got squeezed.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know. But here we go.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: We're closing early tonight and it's gonna require a workout
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: to get home. NCAA tournament is underway a couple of
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: weeks here. They call this March madness. You might be
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: in a different part of the world and you have
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: no idea what that is. It's college basketball.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Oh my god.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: If you ever want to get on someone's bad side instantly,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: you can have five years of laughter, fun, loving kissing.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Oh my god. We're all community.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: But if you knock a school that somebody went to,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: oh my god.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Especially here in the South, they're gonna come at you.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: They're gonna rip your throat out and send your heart
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: up to your eyeballs and say you now belong to me.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: One of our guests shirted an amazing story with me
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: here just a couple of seconds ago. Gets you right
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: here in the heart. She had been with a company
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: for thirty three years. God, can you imagine that thirty
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: three years. I've only been here almost six years. How
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: she put up with thirty three years?
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Don't know. That's an opinion, that's not part of the story. Anyway.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: We were talking.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: About how you basically get really super close to the
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: guests that come into the store. They become a member
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: of your family, they become somebody in your community, they
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: become somebody that's basically that you get to know really,
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: really well. And after thirty three years, what happened is
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: there's one guy in this one woman married. They send
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: her money every month. Why well, because she was always
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: there for them when they would enter the store and
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: buy things from the store, and she would always take
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: the time to take care of them. And this guy
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: and this woman send her money every month just as
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: a way of saying thank you for those thirty three years.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: They have nothing to do.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: With the store. They're every day people. You see what
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, It's about serving each other. Wow, here's a
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: big change. I really never thought i'd ever see it coming.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, for almost six years, I've always said, why
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: are we not donating the food that we're throwing away?
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: We throw away a lot, a lot of food, and
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: you sit there and you look at it. You go, Okay,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: so why are we throwing it away? And so what
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: they're gonna start doing now? The eggs, the milk products,
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: the sweet tea, the orange juice things, of this nature.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: They're going to donate it to a food bank. Well
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: it's a start. It's a start. We can celebrate that,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: can't we. Damn why did it take so long? I
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: just learned something, and I'm shocked by this because I
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: grew up in the state of Montana. I've been here
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: in the Carolinas for forty one years. We do get
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: snow and ice, a lot of it. And someone came
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: up and said that they bought some baking soda to get.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Rid of the ice on their sidewalks. And I was like,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: you've got to be kid man.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: I've never heard of any things it's such as that,
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: and so she goes, well, I didn't need it all,
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: so I'm bringing it back and I said, you wait,
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: you used baking soda on ice after a snowstorm.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we did, And it's like, you gotta be kidding me.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: So what did I do? I went to Doctor Google,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: looked it up on doctor Google, and that's exactly what
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: it's used for. You can use baking soda on ice.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Did you know that?
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: So we're back to doing We're back to doing Vietnamese food.

  Speaker 3: a price, or they want to bring this back, take
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: this back and do this and oh my god, let
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: me talk to your manager you just got to think
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: like that digital editor and just make them disappear. Goodbye,
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: see you later. I'm walking a new path.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Because, oh yeah, the Adobe audition taught me that you
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: don't exist. Let's see, and says, I.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: Think for all people of retail that walk from the
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: car to the store, and your body feels broken, it's tired,
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: it's torn up, and your mind isn't in the mood
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: or the mindset of wanting to go in there and
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: mix and mingle with people.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Leaders don't know, you don't know who they are, and
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: you're still making that walk from the car to the door.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: You want to turn around, you want to leave, you
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: want to go home.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: But what would you do. You get a binge watch.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: You gotta do a thing around the house. You gotta
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: sit around bitching about people all day.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: It's that walk between the car and the door. Get
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: your ass in there and do something.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: If you can break down what he's doing over there
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: where he's got eleven of them now, eleven compliments from
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: our desks and stuff.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, I've never seen anybody with a it. What
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: is he doing right that he could be teaching these
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: other people? Well, number one, he's charming. And you can't
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: teach that, right, you can't. I mean, the only thing
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: you can teach that's how left out of time. The
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: only thing you can teach is to ask for surveys.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: But you're so he's selling hisself, right. Yeah, he's good
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: at it.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: He's a kid. I mean, I know, he's sixteen seventeen.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: He's damn good at it. I mean some people have it,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: some people don't. Oh, he's got it.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: So if they come through my line and I'm on
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: a registry, I'm gonna say, hey, man, if you gotta
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: you got a chance to take a survey for me.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: They don't give a fuck.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: He's talking to them the whole time, from the time
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: they get help, from the time they're waiting in us
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: with their line, with the time that they're walking out.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Of the door.
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: He's at you know, he's he's fucking good at it.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: He engages, he finds something to talk.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: About, whether it be sports or whatever with these.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: And I hear him and and those people get engaged. Yeah,
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: and he's he's a fuck, he's a salesman. Yeah.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: My worst fear is, though, is that he's going to
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: become the attraction out of all six of them that
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: are up here, and he's gonna get tired of the
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: people coming out.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: So I know what you're saying. I don't. I don't
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: think he knows his value yet. Okay, I mean I
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: think he knows he's better, but I don't. I don't
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: think he realizes how much better he is.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, you know, this is just something to
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: get him through high school.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: But he's fucking exceptional at it. So whatever it is
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: he does decide to do in life, he's going to
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: be fucking grave.
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, to.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: Go with our profit sharing checks this week, what's happened
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: here is that the store has now made us this
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: entire taco feast. There are so many different styles of
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: tacos back there and everything you can want to put
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: on it. But you know, twice a year they'll do
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: this and you know, the profit sharing as well as
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: these freaking huge feasts that you're going to get so
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: fat on. But the thing about it is, though, it
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: just really does bring the team together in a way
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: of you know, sharing food, And isn't that what the
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: Big Bible says? Whoo, don't want to go there. I
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: madeor first and well over a year. I'm talking well
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: over a year. I've got braces back on my feet.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: And the reason why the ankles and the arch of
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: the foot, and the reason why is because when you
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: work for a grocery store, you work in retail.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Trust me, you're going to get injured.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: It's not if I get injured, it's when you get injured.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: And when you do, you've got to get your shit together.

• 21:19
  Speaker 3: reminded of why it is that we do what we
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: do and why we stay doing what we do. And
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: you know, when you peel everything back, it really has
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: nothing to do with you. It really doesn't it's who
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: you serve. I'm not saying serve a god, serve the universe.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: It's the people. The people you serve. And I know
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: people will say I can't stand people. I can't stand
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: those that are robbing and stealing from you. You know what,
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: somewhere along the line, you're going to say something, You're
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: going to do something, and I just feel in my
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: heart that it's going to change down. Don't go into
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: it expecting it. It's when you least expect it that
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: you know why you stayed. I'll see you in seeus.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: We all know weeks and weeks of CTCs that Sundays
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: are real shit shows. I mean, it's like the whole
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: fucking world is coming to the store all at once.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: You've had seven days to get here, which you've shows
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: on Sunday, we're my two hours of self checkout. Congratulations
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: ct Oh, you win the prize. Let's go shake some
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: hands and kiss babies.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: What is it like eighty seven eighty eight.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: Degrees right here in the South today, we're just getting
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: to the end of March and it's already this hot.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: And here's the one thing that really kind of gets
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: your attention that we're in warmer weather. It's not because
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: people are wearing short shorts. It's not because people are
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: barely wearing halter tops or whatever it is that they've
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: got to hold those things together. Nope, you're seeing a
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: lot of butt crack. I mean a lot of male
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: butt crack, female butt crack. I don't know what it is,
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: but the butt crack always comes out when it's hot,
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: people are wearing smaller clothes or the butt crack is present.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: I'm actually trying to figure out what the fashion statement
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: is going to be for mid part of twenty twenty
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: six going into the future years, because you know, you're
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: looking for something. The eighties had something, the seventies had something.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: The new millennium had grunge. At least it was something,
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: But these days it's I'm gonna wear whatever I want.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: And in fact, Ruth's Chris just put out a big
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: statement that says that you ain't coming in here with
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: a hat on. You're gonna come in here and you're
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: gonna start dressing nicely, or you're not gonna be served.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: I think that's what it should be everywhere you come
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: in at this grocery store, don't be showing me your
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: butt correct, Show me something nice, like nice clothing, dress up,
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: make it look good. Give everybody an opportunity to see
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: a different side of your lazy ass.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: That mean? Does that mean? I don't mean it to
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: be mean. It's just that.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: God, we've got to do something about this lack of fashion.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Hopefully this has to come across mean. But it's really
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: funny to watch people from New York State and Ohio,
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: Wisconsin to come into the Carolinas right here at the
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: end of March where we are in the almost ninety
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: degrees today, and it's fun to watch the Northerners because
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: they're still having winter back home and they've just stopped
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: in to do golfing tournaments or they're here for different
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: things that are taking place with the FC, with a
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: professional soccer and everything, and so to see them suffering
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: kind of in the ninety degree temperatures with all the
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: humidity that's going on right now, and it's like, dude,
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: you know, and you feel like a coach because you
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: got to coach them through this heat because they don't
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: know what the fuck to do.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: They really don't know what to do.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: Suddenly it's ninety degrees inside their life, and so you
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: guys just be the leader and say welcome to the South.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: Y'all come back here. I ran across the story recently.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: It's based on consumer protection and with all these major
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: league players in the grocery store business, this consumer protection
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: group says that if you've got six registers for every
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: one register, you should have two point two self checkouts.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: That's what they're pushing. That's what they're going to try
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: to really put into order. And so I brought it
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: up to some managers here and I said, okay, so
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: we don't have enough when it comes to self checkout.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: If we're gonna we should actually have twelve or thirteen
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: self checkouts, and we don't have that. And their eyes
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: were like, where we're going to get the manpower and
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: be where we're going to get the money to pay
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: for this? And see, well, that means there's gonna be
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: more theft here because that's where all the theft is
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: taking place is in self checkout, which is the very
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: reason why Walmart is trying to charge you money. Now
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: when it comes to self checkout, they want to charge
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: one hundred bucks a month.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: I know I'm pushing the envelope when I do this.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: And that is is that when especially at night, when
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: when people are coming in from their late Sunday evening
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: churches or they've been digesting the word all day and
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: they come to the store because they know there's fewer
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: people at night, and and you know, they'll they'll they'll
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: drop that God bomb on me. And it's like, you
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: don't realize what you just did. You drop that God
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: bomb on me. And we're going there and then I'm
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: gonna I'm gonna ask questions. I'm gonna see what you
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: did in your studies today and all that kinds. I mean,
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: I know I'm crossing the line because you're bringing religion
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: into the thing, but you know, I'm with the community.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: And here in the South, the community we do a
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: lot of God talk.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: We do a lot of it.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: It's not that everybody does it, but we do it.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: And so but it's just so fascinating and they feel
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: so welcomed when they've got somebody that they can share
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: what they learned with. If you know what I mean, Hey,
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: that's gonna do it for another exciting edition of CTCs.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: The Ups and Downs or Twist, the Spins and the End,
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: the Outs, everything that takes place that I know that
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: you have heard about or you experience it yourself. When
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: you do your retail it is no different in any
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: other business. As my wife would say, we all put
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: our pants on the same and we take it off
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: the same.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Hey, do me a favorite.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Do your own podcast, And the reason why is because
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: that's what creates conversations. I want to know what's going
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: on inside your office, and I'll bet you there's a
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: lot of junk that we all have in common. Show
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: us the wizard inside your business, the wizard behind the curtain.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: I'll see you next time on CTCs.
