  Speaker 2: Walk Day number one out of four New Year's Day. Wow,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: something brand new? We like brand new things?
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Or do we?
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like I'm sitting outside of a
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: box that was shot to me by Amazon and on
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: the inside of this box is a brand new Year.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: It's the great mystery. Will it pay off the way
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: that they said that it would. Is it going to
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: bring you better light? Is it going to give you
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: a quality sound? What about this thing called the brand
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: new Year inside this box? And how does it play
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: out inside a grocery store? Because you know, darn good
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: and well, corporate America doesn't care about stealing.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: They'll bitch and moan about it.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: They'll sit there and say, oh, your profit sharing checks,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: they're not very high because of the theft. All right,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: your little boneheads, why don't you do something about it?
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Then? Can I say that I had to say the
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: name of the corporation?
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: My god, they are boneheads and they know it and
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: they're getting away with it.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: I'll see you and see us.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: The one thing that I worked on big time today
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: was do not convince yourself it is a holiday. You know.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I have problems with that, And maybe it's because I
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: spent so much time in the radio industry where a
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: holiday what the fuck was that?
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Holiday was something that you know what, you had to
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: show up in a personal appearance someplace and and me
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: and just shaking and making in another words, shake the hands,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: kiss the babies, and do whatever you.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Can and get those ratings up.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: So to be here at the store on a holiday,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: I've been doing things all day to day to make
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: sure that I make it a normal Thursday. So I've
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: done the podcast, I've done a stretching, I've done the workouts,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I've done everything.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Just don't treat it like a holiday.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: As of late, I've been joking around about people using
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: my real name, you know, as a way of getting
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: my attention, because when you say CET on the headset,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: you know I hear TA, or I may hear c
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: that could be connected to something else in.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: The store or another person.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: So I said, look, when you really want to get
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: in touch with me, just say Clarence, which is my
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: real name. And you know my mother loves me for that,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: So thanks Mom for such a name. Anyway, So when
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: I walk in here today, what happens and Mod walks
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: up to me and says, so.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: How was your New year, Clarence? And right away I'm
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: thinking to myself, that's a joke. It's a joke.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: I gave people that option to get in touch with me,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: not to use on an everyday basis, and so it
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: really kind of freaks me out that nonchalantly came out,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: how is your new Year today, Clarence. I don't know
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: what would you do in a situation like that if
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: someone in the decision making department started using your real name. Wow,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: obviously our guests were partying last night because they are
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: dragging their tales. It's fascinating to be able to study
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: the different generations when you're at a grocery store. Because
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: the older generation who probably went to bed at eight
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: thirty nine o'clock last night, and even that was their midnight,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: compare those to the people that are twenty five and younger.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Those are the ones that went to bed after midnight,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: maybe two, three, four o'clock morning. They're the ones that
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: are dragging their ass right now. Where the older generation said,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: what do you want?
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Man?
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: I got the energy, I've got the surprise. I'm gonna
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: make this brand new year a big success story, whereas
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: you know, the other generations are going, oh, oh my god,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I had to come to the grocery store. I need
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: to get over this sickness that I got.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Why are you sick? Do you have that super flu No?
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: I had too much of drink last night. Oh oh,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: been there, done that. We have a beer and wine bar,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: and so we start off this brand new year with
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: one thing. The bartender has not shown up.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: You know what that means. You had to be a team.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Player, swallow your f and pride and go over there
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: and serve some alcohol. Get people off fucked up. The
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: big talk at the bar today is AI technology with
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: the way that the people are making their own home
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: videos when it comes to bands and stuff like that,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: with the AI technology and they're designing everything and they go,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: what the hell do I need professionals for?
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: And you just sit there.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Sometimes you're going to, oh, crap, you're talking about my world,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: my department, and then you treat it as if like,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: oh if we don't need people like you. It's like
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: now I feel like a total outsider. But that's a
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: subject today. It is about technology and how aire is
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: the way it's going.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: First day of a brand new year.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Why do you think people who are playing the lottery
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: are leaving two to five dollar tips?
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Simple question, right, first day of the year.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Why do people plane the lottery leave two to five
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: dollar tips to those who are getting them their tickets?
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: They believe in one thing good luck, seriously good luck.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: So they feel if they're sharing a tip of two
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: to five dollars, that is good luck on the very
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: first day of a brand new year. So therefore those
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: behind the counter today are making some money. If I
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: were ever given the opportunity to go back and spend
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: time with my mom and dad again, who have been
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: gone five to ten years, if I ever had the
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: opportunity to go back and just spend some time with them,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I think the first thing that I would like to
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: explain to them what has happened since them transitioning, is
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: that Mom and Dad, when you walk through this modern world,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: what I don't want you to do is to frown
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: upon what you're smelling. I know, the smell that you
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: think you know, and you probably do know it. But
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: you associated with a Willie Nelson concert or even when
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: I went to the Kiss concert at the Metra in Billings.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: But Mom and Dad, when you go through the grocery
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: store or you go to a mall, or you go
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: stand in line at the bank, that smell that used
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: to be at a Willie Nelson concert. It's like freaking everywhere.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, it can be anybody at any given moment.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: No matter what your walk in life is, they're carrying
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: that smell, and each mom and dad to tell me
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: what is this?
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Why is it?
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Everybody smells like a concert.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Please don't move. There's more CTCs right around the corner.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: We've lost my really good friend, Ernie. We've got the
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: best bagger in the district, and ooh, people that are
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: bringing stuff back to buy lottery tickets. Hey, thanks for
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: coming back to CTCs. We've lost my really good friend Ernie.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: We've got the best bagger in the district, and people
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: are bringing stuff back to the store to buy lottery tickets.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Transition Walk Day number two had a four very chilly
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: inside this forest.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Who my Heart is swollen today? Podcast day CS.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Day and my bird of thirty four years transitioned during
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: the night.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Extra weight.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: I guess maybe I'm being selfish. That's where my heart is,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: that's where my mind is. But I'm constantly reminded that
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: what would Ernie do in this situation. Ernie was a
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: go getter. He was somebody who got what he wanted.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: He knew patience, he knew how to watch God. That's
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: what I loved about it. Ernie inside his beautiful home,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: he could oversee this forest here in South Charlotte, the
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: greatest view on the planet because he got to see
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: that lake every day, the slow moving stream and the
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: tall grass and you know, it was just beauty and.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: So very sad day.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: But at the same time, I'm so grateful that I
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: can say that we got thirty four years together. Thirty
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: four years. So I'm taking a transition walk it as
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: a much deeper purpose today and then we're off to
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: see us wait or just received word here at the
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: store that Jimmy the Geek, who has been on CTCs
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: for the past year, year and a.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Half, Jimmy the Geek, And really we've.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Always thought of him as being a geek because he
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: really is that guy that says, you know, I went
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: to band camp. Oh, I went to band camp, just
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: like that movie. But the thing is, he just won
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: the district when it comes to being the best bagger
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: in that area, and he got a perfect score of
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: all things. Oh you know, we're gonna be talking with
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Jimmy the Geek tonight. I mean, it's just I'm so
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: proud of him because when he puts his mind to something,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: he gets shit done. And I find that inspiring and
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: we're gonna grow for it. We're gonna we're gonna see
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: where his mind is gonna go from here. Second day
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: of the month. And you know what that means. People
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: are clearing out their their pantries at home and they're
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: collecting their receipts, and once they turn in their receipts,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: they'll get the money back. Well, I'm not using it anymore,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: so I just want to get my money back. Now.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: I don't mind doing that, but it's one.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Of those episodes of what would you do?
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: These people that keep bringing stuff back from their pantry?
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: What do they do with the money?
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: They turn around and put it inside the next lottery ticket?
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: What would you do?
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Now? Personally, I would think it's none of my business.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: It's their money. They brought it back, they played by
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: the rules, it's theirs.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: What would you do?
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: I've been waiting all day to talk to you, Jimmy
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: the Gate. I mean, first of all, how did you
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: pull it off?
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, you got five hundred points is what I understand.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: Hundred dollars you got fired or bucks. Yeah, it's gonna
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: be transferred to my account in a couple of days.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: And yeah, and.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: You that's kind of unfair because I would have thought
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: you would have at least transferred some of that to me,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: because I'm the one that motivates you to be brilliant.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: No, I'm not trying to sound mean, but was did
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: you have competition? What was what was the situation?
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: Well, there was one person from like a good time
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: to the store from the districts at twenty people. Yeah,
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: but half of them were like people my age or
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: just like people.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: A bit more wrinkle you can say.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Older people, yeah, okay, okay, silvers.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, silvers, and like either I'm too good, or the
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: more realistic situation that maybe they just don't know how
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: to bag, because.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: No, you know how to bag.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: That's the thing about it, And that's what I've always
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: liked about when when you and I team up on
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: a register, you know that when you're sitting stuff down
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: that register, or if you're bagging for me, there's there's
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: a science to what we do. And if we don't
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: work that science and make it work, then then then
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: we're not going to win a competition.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Yes, and I want to buy Landslide because it scored
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: out of the seventy points and second place was like
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: forty nine and I had like fifty eight.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Such cheez, congratulations man, way to go, Jimmy the geek.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: He's a post steal crap.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: I would have a big old carpool of states here
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's trusting me. Do you want to steal something? No?
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay, you know we're talking about the best bagger
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: in the district here.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: He won today, he did, he won? Yeah. What do
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: I get to see the video? Is it a posted somewhere?
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Did you did you video it? Or what did you do? No?
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I just have a picture of Oh, please do not move.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: There's more CTCs right around the corner. Hey, welcome back.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Let's get back to CTCs.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Transition Walk, Day number three out of four. My my mind,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: how the weather can change all the more reason to
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: step inside this forest today. It's bitterly cold, it's raining,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: God almighty, it feels like it should be snowing. It
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: really does. I mean, the world feels like it's just stopped,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: and with no leaves on the trees, it's just dead.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: All right. Well, I'm in the forest today because the
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: goal is to learn different ways and methods of understanding
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: where people are presently standing. As the world continues to
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: change around us, and social media just endlessly pummeling our
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: hearts and souls with news that we really have no
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: control over. It does affect the way that you speak
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: and put things inside your basket at a grocery store.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: Oh, it affects you.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: You don't have to admit it now, But when you
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: get home and you see what you purchased, what is
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: the happy food versus the food that you actually needed?
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: Okay, you see what I mean. You need somebody who's
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: going to listen to you.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying I'm the preacher of the grocery store,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: but I'll at least give it a shot at listening
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: to you.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: I'll see you and see.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Us very packed house, I mean unbelievably through the walls
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: kind of pack house. And the reason why is because
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: our NFL team is getting ready to play a huge
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: game to find out they can make it to the playoffs.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's win or lose, but we have to
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: figure out what the Atlanta Dirty Birds are going to do.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: So by the time you hear this, oh, I'm sure
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl will be long gone and forgotten, but
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: you know everybody wants to see that game. Because it's local.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Of course, the employees are at each other's throats. And
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: the reason why is because we're all being thrown in
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: every direction. And then somebody comes along and says, oh
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: by the way, oh by the way, Oh by the way,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Oh by the way, Oh by the way, and it's
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: you know, it's multitasking to the max. And so that's why,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: you know, being in radio, when we had to multitask,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: take care of production, do a promotion beyond the air,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: had to do different things, we bitched.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: And moaned like two year old kids.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: And then when you come here, it's like, you know,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: what if I were in radio right now, those three
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: things that they expected me to do are nothing compared
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: to what they expect you to do at.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: A grocery store.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Swallow that one, Swallow that one, and see how you
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: would do. And most people, really, I have asked people,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: how would you deal with that? And they go, I
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: wouldn't accept the job. I ain't coming here. I'm not
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: a manager, so I'm not in charge and show the
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: decisions that are being made. And I'm sure that people
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: that are here in the store don't make the decisions either.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: But one of my biggest biggest pet peeves do.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: You use pet peeve for the week, is that.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: They allow our different team players to go on to
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: an app and they can sit there and say, I
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: don't want to work this day?
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Is there anybody that'll work for me? Now?
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: I know they do this in so many different businesses.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: But the thing about it is, though, is that, sure,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: I get it, if you can find somebody to fill
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: in for you, all the more power to you. But
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: the person that just took your damn job, they didn't
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: show up for work. I realized they're gonna get written up.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: But my philosophy on being written up, it doesn't mean Jack,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: you're not.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Going to be held accountable.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Ooh, gonna make me sign a piece of paper doesn't
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: mean Jack, there's no accountability.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: That's my pet peeve.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: I swear to god, I'm not being a jerk today,
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: although it may come across said, oh God, he's being
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: a real ass at that grocery store today. What is
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: this problem?
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: What is up Here's ass? And that's not it at all.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: I think what it is that there's a certain time
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: in what you're doing, there's a bullshit factor and you
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: hit that line and then they keep pushing you over
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: that line, and it's like you sit there and go, look,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to score a touchdown here. I'm not trying
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: to be pushed that bounds here because I don't need
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: that damn clock to stop. I need to get it
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: into that end zone. But it's the bullshit factor. So
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: they put it in front of you, and then you're
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: not to react to it. That's the thing about it.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: You can't react to it.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: Not fair.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: But then if I do react to it, then you know,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: here comes hr going. You need to calm down a bit.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: You know, sometimes people they come to work late. They
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: got things in their life.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: But you know what, if you're working for me and
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: you're not. But if you were working for me, you
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: would not be acting this way. When you wait long enough,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: something good is going to happen. I mean, seriously, something
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: will happen during your bad moment on a grocery store floor.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: The thing is, I said, we had a gentleman that
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: came in here, maybe sixty five, maybe seventy, definitely up
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: there in the gray years, and we do this thing
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: now when it comes to sales. It's a QR code.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: You tell me a seventy year old man that understands
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: what a QR code is. They don't, And so you
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: take the time to train them and to show them
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: what's going on, and all of a sudden, their heart
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: and eyes ignite with their laughing and having a great
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: time because they've just learned something new. That's all part
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: of the community.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: All Right, We're gonna play a game here.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: It's called what would Jimmy really say? So Jimmy, yesterday,
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: your brother who you should know very well. I looked
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: at him yesterday and I said, what's wrong with your eyes?
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: He says, why, I've got pink I said, how did
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: you get the pink?
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: Ott? What was Jimmy's answer?
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: He says, he says, it happens every single time I
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: do this.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: What he gotta say something along the lines of, oh,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: like I got fart in my eye or something very
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: close he.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: Said, He said, I scratched my foot.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: And my forgot Yeah. Yeah, I mean when he told
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: me that I'm going, Can I talk to him about
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: scratching his butt?
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: Oh my god, that's so Jimmy.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: If you think about it, that makes sense.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Transition walking the number four out of four? Uh, not
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: just a transition walk today. But uh, Ernie, my blue
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Crown conyre of thirty four years, transitioned this past week
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: and very spiritually speaking and through my studies of animals
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: speak and everything else to it is total animals, native
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: American spirituality. Ernie has been with me for the past
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: four days. And today as we enter this forest and
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: we go on this transition walk, Ernie and I shared this.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: Walk many many.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Times over the past thirty four years, and today is
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: that walk. I don't have to say it. I think
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: that maybe you might know inside your heart that today
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: is that walk because I know what the inevitable is
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: coming up next. But you know, that's my closeness to nature.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: That's why I believe in nature. That's why I believe
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: that nature speaks through us to reach other people.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: So I'm sure there's a lesson here. I'll see you
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: and see us.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Our team player at number six today had enough courage
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: to say.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: So, why are you here?
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: If you're doing radio, you do movie promotions, and you
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: do your podcasting, why are you at a grocery store?
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: And I always laugh when people ask me that, because
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: you reach a certain point in your life where it's
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: like I didn't do that anytime in my sixty three
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: years of being on the planet. I want to go
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: try that, Like one day, I would like to be
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: the person in a kitchen that takes the grease out
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: and do I am I inspired by the Mike Rows
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: of the world. Yes, And I think that's the reason
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: why I've been blessed with the opportunity to spend so
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: much time with Mike growth. Yes, you get the opportunity
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: to do something that's unique and different.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: And so she asked me. She goes, why are you here?
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: And I said, I'm here for market research, and she goes,
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: what I said, all of those podcasts, everything that I do,
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: everything from the movies to you name it, I'm doing
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: market research. I study what people are doing, what they're planning,
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: how they're cooking, what shows they're watching on TV. And
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: then I use that as information to help me out
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: with the podcasting. Instead of going on to chat GPTO,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: who's gonna lie.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: To you anyway? For the love of uh, I just
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: had a faux pap.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: I just had a blooper. Mister radio guy, oh yeah,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: gets on there and says, Hey, our NFL team is
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: going to the playoffs.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: First time since twenty fifteen. We're going to the playoffs.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: But what did I say?
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: I said, not.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Only are we going to the playoffs, but we waited
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: very patiently to see the Atlanta.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: Braves beats the New Orleans Saints.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: What's wrong with that picture, mister radio guy, the Atlanta
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Braves NFL. Oh oh oh, And this store is jamming
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: with people. And now there's that guy right there. He's
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: the one that said Atlanta Braves. There he is right there,
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: mister Atlanta Braze. Oh there he is. Yeah, that's that
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: guy right there. Dude, it is the Falcons. Oh god,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: unbelievably crowded today. And the reason why is not because
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: of the college bowl games or even the NFL playoffs
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: or going to the playoffs.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: It's busy because the kids.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Are going back to school tomorrow and mom and dad
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: are going, well, you had two weeks off, we didn't
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: go grocery shopping. We better get to the store now
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: because they have no food. No food in the refris' right,
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: or no food in the pantry, no food, no food,
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: and no food. And you can't send the kids to
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: school if you have no food, no food, no food.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: So it's really super crowded in here right now, and
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: the only thing you can do is just count your blessings.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: I think one of the greatest things about being at
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: a grocery store versus so many different businesses is the
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: fact that the absolute slightest thing can change a person's life. No,
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: the slightest thing, I mean things that you would just
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: write off and you wouldn't even get up to it.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: And so, and let me give you a good example here,
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: somebody was looking for a twelve pack of BlackBerry dr
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: pepper and they said, well, you guys are out of it.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: And I said, give me a chance to go in
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: the back. Let me, let me just let me just
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: go back. And look, you took the time.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: It's on the bottom, so you had to take that
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: whole entire palette apart, and you get your hands out
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: and you bring it up. And then she's not almost
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: in two yars because I found her one more case
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: of the doctor pepper. I live for that shit, I
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: really live for that shit. Well, you're always gonna face
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: a first when it comes to anything that happens grocery store.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: And I think the first this particular weekend is the
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: fact that David, who was on register number two. He
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: never never wants to come to work, never wants to
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: so when he does come here, which is always late,
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: he's doing everything humanly possible to make sure that he
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: can get out of here as quickly as possible.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: Pet peeve, Pet peeve.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: But so then today I thought this was very inventive.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: He goes on his break, which is three hours after
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: you get here. He then calls about thirty minutes later
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: and says, hey, look I puped in the car. I
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: I just drove home. And we all up in customer service.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: We kind of looked at each other and said he
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: puked in the car, and say, well, what the hell?
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Usually you would come back into the building correct and
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: then say look, I'm not feeling.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: Well blah blah blah blah blah blah. But he said
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: he went home. Well guess what happened.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Then the big manager comes up and says, let me
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: talk to him.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: He talked to him, all right, he came back to work.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Well, there you have it, another exciting edition of CTCs.
