• 1:25
  Speaker 2: CTCS. Transition Walk, day number one out of three. We
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: have that live performance this weekend. But man, it is
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: going to be one huge mofo and wall of water
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: before we get there. We've got a tropical storm headed
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: in our direction. Tropical storm Arthur, which will be long
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: gone by the time that you get this podcast. But
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: here's what you're going to hear and see. Is that
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: there's going to be a ton of people that are
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: going to think the world is coming to an end.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: And they're going to be lining up, getting patient. And
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: there's going to be some that are going to say, hey, look.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: There's too many people in there. They can't see everything
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: going on. I know. Let's go steal groceries. So, you know,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: as we head into Father's Day, we've also got Tropical
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Storm Arthur, who is going to dump a lot of
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: that wet on our drought. I'll see you and see us.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: As we prep for Tropical Storm Arthur, it's still not
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: going to be compared to the storms that I've put
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: myself through. in the past week or so. I mean,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: last week, that's all we talked about was how they
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: were cutting our hours, cutting our pay, billion-dollar business, totally
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: get that. And then reality slaps you right in the face.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: And in the process of restructuring your schedule, there's a
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: big change. The day that you need for that live performance,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: it's been taken away. So now... you're facing two different
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: business worlds. And that's the craziest thing about being in
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: this side hustle world is that you've got different positions
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: that need you essentially and other positions because you need
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: them because you built up that foundation, that presentation, that performance.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: And so what do you do in a situation like that? Now,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: in years past, I would have been pointing fingers. I
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: would have been pissed off. I would have really, really
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: been one of those people you don't want to be with.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: And this time around, I chose... To just be a bystander.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: To let it play out in a way of having
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: a better understanding of human error. If you know what
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: I mean. And I guess in a very long way,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: someone who's been in radio for 46 years and not
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: really having a real job, these are the things you
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: have to deal with in a world that's all about
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: the side hustle. I love what this company is doing.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: It's not just Father's Day, but it's also Grandfather's Day.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: And here was the part that really won over my heart.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: It's also for the day of stepfathers and those who
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: are caretaking for a family. They're not a father. They're
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: not a husband. They're somebody who lives with a family.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: And that guy just happens to be a leader for
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: that child. And so it's like everything that's in the
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: shape of a man, if you are helping out a
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: family or if you're helping out just anybody in your community,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: this is going to be your weekend. That was very
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: inspiring to me. It's been a while, but I just
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: busted somebody with a fake $ 100 bill. And you look
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: at them and you go, I'm so sorry. And you're
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: falling witness to this, but this machine is saying that
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: it's fake. And she says, you know what? I kind
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: of figured that when I got it, that it was fake.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: It was from somebody that I know. And I just
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: really honestly believe that it was fake when I got it.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: And she goes, that's okay, though. She says, I will
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: give it to you now in 20s and 10s. And
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: she just said, I just had a feeling that it
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: was just going to be fake. I'll take it to
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: the bank. We'll get this taken care of. But, I mean,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: just an innocent person. But then again, you have to understand,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: a con artist will always come across as an innocent person.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: And the cops are coming in. We've got drugs in
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: a bag and self-checkout right there at number three. And
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: rule number one, you do not touch a bag with drugs.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Guess what? The person who's running self-checkout, what did they do?
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: They not only touched it, but they brought the drugs
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: up to us in customer service. And the first thing
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: that we did was we all jumped back with our hands.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Because you don't know what's going on with fentanyl. You
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: don't know what's going on with opioids. So therefore, it's
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: very dangerous. So now we're going to put this in
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: the hands of the police department and go look at
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: some video and find out who we're going to bust today.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: It was one of those moments where the police came in.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: They looked at everything that's going on. They confiscated the drugs.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: They were drugs. They did verify that. But it was
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: one of those where it's like, okay, you guys need
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: to stay clear of this register until you fully wash
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: it down. And we did. We had to wash everything down.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: But just in case there's anything that's on there that
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: could really kind of affect another person's life or their
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: journey growing forward. But yeah, they took them no time
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: at all to get here. Washed down. Pills are gone.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: The police will take care of it from that point forward.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Not our family of stores, but a national grocery store
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: chain today was fined $ 40 million. No bullshit. $ 40 million
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: because the prices that were on the shelves didn't match
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: what they were being charged. They tried to correct them
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: several different times. They wouldn't correct the situation. And so, guys,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: they broke down on them. They said, this has been
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: going on for a long period of time. You are
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: doing nothing to help correct this situation. And they slapped
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: him with a $ 40 million fine because they're not living
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: up to what the shelf says. And so today, with
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: all these different, you know, all the prices different from
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: the actual flyer itself to the physical sale up there
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: at the register, it's 100% wrong. It's wrong. And I'm
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: sitting here talking to New Guy Bill, and I'm saying, dude,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: we're going to get hit with a $ 40 million lawsuit,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: and it's all because of the flyer, which is a misprint.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Today is that day where people are coming in to
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: get their money back. And what we're doing, though, is
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: we have to look at how they paid for that food.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Because here is the thing. This is nothing new in
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: the history of this country that is celebrating its 250th birthday.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: But what they do is they buy it on their EBT,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: which is government-assisted eating or food. And then they come
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: in and they try to get it transferred over to
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: their credit card or they want cash. Not going to go.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Not going to happen. And do they get mad at you? Oh,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I think I have been called every freaking name in
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: the book. And you just sit there and you go, whew,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: oh my God. With a mouth like that, you're lucky
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: my mom is in here because she would wash that
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: monkey out with nothing but really bad used soap. And
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: it has officially arrived. Welcome to Tropical Storm Arthur. As
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: it hits the Carolinas, the thunderstorms, the winds. Yeah, this
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: is quite the reminder of what life is like in
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: the south during the summertime and the fall time months.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you can hear the wind. Oh,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: it's really, really, really windy out here. So I guess
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: we should be welcoming New Orleans or Louisiana to the
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Carolinas because that's exactly where the storm came from. Then again,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: it could have been Houston, Texas, too, somewhere in that area.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: But it's definitely very stormy right now. As we've got
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Tropical Storm Arthur knocking on our soul. CTCS.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Please do not move. There is more CTCS right around
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: the corner. Tongue-biting blood. And women using Xen?
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Women? Really?
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Hey, thanks for coming back to CTCS. Tongue-biting blood. And
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: women's sales are up when it comes to using Zen.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: CTCS. Transition walk. Day number two out of three.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: In this forest today, looking at the remnants of what
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Tropical Storm Arthur did to us. A lot of branches down.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: A lot of leaves down, which is kind of strange because...
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: In a forest this early into the summer months, there
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: aren't as many leaves on the trees as it is
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: because we've been in this drought the worst since 2008. So,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: you know, it's not as plentiful as one would assume.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: But now you've got to learn from this. You've got
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: to take from what happened with Mother Nature and her
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: storms and try to incorporate it into lessons to be
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: learned at a grocery store. Jesus God, that's just too
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: damn deep. Especially when... 99.9% of the people I work
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: with or even create with on a customer level, they
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: have no clue. They have no clue what the hell
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about because I'm the one on the spiritual journey.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I just want to share it. I've just got to
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: learn how to put it in their language. I'll see
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: you in the CS. I have ripped my rotator cuff.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: I have torn apart my Achilles tendon. I have injured
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: my back so many times. My arms, everything. When you're
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: working at a grocery store, it is physical. 100% physical.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: One thing I didn't prepare for, I walk in here
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: today because I love to chomp on my gum. I
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: bit into my tongue so badly, it's bleeding. profusely. So
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: I'm sitting here with a mouthful of blood right now,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: sharing this with you. Ooh, God please, I didn't spit
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: any on you, did I? Ooh. To add fuel to
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: the fire, there are regional managers here, three of them. And,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: of course, what do they want to do? For some reason,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: they want to come talk to me. And I'm going,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm like this. You know, with the tongue
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: that I've been into where the blood is definitely there,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: you know, they want to have this conversation. And I
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: feel like Sylvester the Cat from Warner Bros. I love
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: the younger generation because they're so quick. They know they're funny,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: but they don't know how funny they are. A couple
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: nights ago, I was talking with Eve, who's in the
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: 11th grade. And she was going, why does it seem
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: like that when somebody of importance comes into the store,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: you guys get all nicey-nice? I said, it's called brown-nosing.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: And she goes, what? She goes, I don't know what
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: brown-nosing is. I said, brown-nosing is when we do exactly
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: what you just said. We're acting nicey-nice to the people
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: that are coming into the store. So today, with these
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: regional managers coming in one more time, guess what happens?
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: She comes up to me and she goes, So are
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: you brown nosing right now? And I lost it. I
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: lost it. I said, you're damn straight I'm brown nosing.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Am I getting anything on my face? Because I don't
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: want any brown nose kind of stuff on my cheeks.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: I was doing some research on Zen and why we
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: can't keep it in stock. It's like, you've got to
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: be kidding me. We put these things in every Thursday,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: and by a Friday afternoon, it's gone. And it's like, okay,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: what is going on here? What is the big craze?
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: I understand that we've had this craze now for about
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: three or four years. But when you start digging in
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: deeper as to who your consumers are, the sales of
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: women using Zen is through the roof. So the guys
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: have some competition here. That's Zen. They're not buying it
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: for their boyfriends. Oh, hell no. The women are getting
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: it for themselves because they want to quit smoking. They
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: don't want to do any puffers or anything like that.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: And they feel that sin is what's going to give
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: them that rush or whatever it is that they get
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: from it. But that's the competition with sin is that
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: the women are buying it more than the men.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Please don't move.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Coming up next on CTCS, that water break is getting worse.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: And what is up with these electronical tags they want
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: to put inside grocery stores? Will it be the next
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: big thing for TikTok to tap into? Hey, thanks for
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: coming back to CTCS. This time around, a water break
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: that continues to get worse in our parking lot. Plus,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: electronic digital tags. Is this the next big thing? And
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: what will TikTok do with tapping into this monkey?
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: CTCS. Transition walk. Day number three out of three. Had
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: a live performance last night. This mind and body are sore.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: You know what it's like in the retail world. We're
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: not just doing retail. We have 50 million other things
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: that we expect to do, want to do, are forced
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: to do. We put ourselves in corners. We've got to
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: fight our way out. I don't know about you, but
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: I call it survival. And I live for that. I
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: don't know why we are so addicted to that. But
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: if you sit down with a real authentic leader in retail,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: they're not going to show you they're only doing one position.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: They're multitasking. They're doing things that involve other people. Which
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: can be, you know, today being Father's Day, can be
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: just be with your damn family. Take some time off
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: from work. Go ahead and take that 30-day period where
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: you can have some mental health time. I strongly suggest it. Now,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: will I do something like that? I don't know. I
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: think the time is coming. I really do. But what
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: I don't want to do... is sit around the house
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: for 30 days binge-watching. Oh crap, how did we get
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: on this subject? I thought it was supposed to be
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: about a damn grocery store. No, it's retail world real
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: life is what it is. I don't know if I
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: talked about this on Thursday or Friday when I was here.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: The water that's coming from underneath the building that's flooding
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: the parking lot. How you doing today? You doing great?
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: I'm walking through it. Nobody seems to be really upset
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: or worried about the building. It's taking a pee. It's
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: been taking a pee since I first got here on Thursday.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: It is Sunday. I mean, eventually, you've got to run
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: out of pee, right? I mean, either that or stop
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: giving it propelled water. But, god dang, what the fuck
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: is the problem here with this damn water? Let me
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: go ahead and give you an update on that water break.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: It is a water break. The city knows about it.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: has not come in this area for four days, and
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: they really are truly concerned that we just had a
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: sinkhole here about two blocks away. So now I'm thinking,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: wait a second, you fixed that sinkhole, the city of
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: this city, and all that pressure of that water coming
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: through is creating problems in another part of the city
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: just two blocks away. But they won't fix it, so
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: what are you waiting for? The sinkhole? Look at me
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: bitching all the time. I'm such a bitcher. I don't
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: know where you are in the world or what day
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: it is on the map, But one of the things
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: that's happening here in the States is that these major
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: grocery store companies want to go to electronic digital tags.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Like when you're going down an aisle and it says,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: you know, this car stuff here is going to be $ 11. 99
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: per bottle. They want to do that digitally now. And,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: of course, the government is saying you are not going
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: to do that because you're going to screw around with
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: those price tags. And when something's hot, you're going to
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: raise the price. The government's on to this. And so
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: I thought, I'm going to take this to the people.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: I want to ask a guest, somebody who shops a store,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: how would they feel if it was digital? I'm going
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: to stop after one time. And the reason why is
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: because a lady looked at me and says, I really
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: don't fucking care. And I went, oh, my God. Here
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: I am trying to be very visible and very vocal. And,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: you know, the eyes of the consumer, I really don't
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: fucking care. That's what she said. I'm so sorry for
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: interrupting your day. I love it when preacher people come
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: into the store. They have no freaking idea who I am.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Come on. We all judge each other by the book cover.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: We do. My book cover is I have long hair.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: I'm an older guy. Oh, he's obviously stuck in the 1970s.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Loves his rock and roll. They have no clue what
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: my spirituality is or anything like that. But it's fun
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: when they come up and they start, you know, kind
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: of doing some missionary work. And then they'll pop off
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: a quote. They'll do me some verses. They'll give me
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: some things. And then you finish it up. And it's like,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: I'm not playing the know-it-all game with you, but it's like, dude,
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: we're doing the same exact thing. I'm in this grocery
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: store because God led me here. You're out here doing
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: what you're doing because God led you there. But I
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: love talking with preacher people. And then you break the
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: ice and say, look, we're doing the same exact thing, guys.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: We've talked about this a few thousand times on CTCS,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: that you get with a certain group of people that
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: are not positive. And if one poisons one, then the
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: poison is another. And then you've got 10 poisoned, which
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: is then going to take care of the next 10
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: that come in for the next shift. In other words,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: when you have a bad attitude, it does carry forward.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: And it was just very interesting today that the people
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: that came into the store early this morning, one of
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: them was really, really in a bad mood because she
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: doesn't want to be here. And she's making it a
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: point that she doesn't want to be here. And it's
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: one of those where I kind of sit back and
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: I kind of chuckle. And the reason why is because
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: this person that doesn't want to be here, and it
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: really was kind of being very rough today with that
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: morning team, she's the one that's been very critical of
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: me when I go through my ups and downs, twists
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: and spins, ins and outs, and stumbles and all that. And,
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: you know, you've got to change your attitude. And then
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: look how I just bit her in the ass. See,
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: when people are having a bad day, it's not what
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: you think. It's not. If you just take the time
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: to maybe listen to part of their story or even
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: all of their story, you'll see that many, many, many
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: bad moods and bad attitudes, there's something at home that happened.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: The World Cup is officially underway. One of the things
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: that I really love about having a bar in our
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: grocery store, it's a beer and wine bar, but I'm
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: telling you, every person comes in here, every walk of life,
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: every neighborhood comes here to just watch the games. There's
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: such a unity. with this community. And it's all because
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: they're coming in here to watch the soccer matches. And
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: you can't help but sit there and go, this is
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: our store. Our, meaning ours. This community. Ours. Watching soccer. Huh.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: That was not a smooth, cool move. Gentleman, aisle two
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: in the soda section. He's videotaping kids. We asked him once, twice,
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: The third time we escorted him out of the building.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: You can't do that. He was escorting them. We said,
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: do you know them? Are they your kids? No. You
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: can't be doing that. You can't be taking pictures and
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: or videos of the kids that are inside the aisles. Well,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: why not? Because you just can't. That's an invasion. That
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: is just as bad as just as much as saying
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: that you just did something that breaks the law. No,
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: it's not against the law for me to videotape a
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: kid at a grocery store looking at sodas. Do you
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: know them? No. Then you can't do that. And it's
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: one of those, what would you do? How would you
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: handle a situation like this? And we ended up getting
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: security and they escorted him out of the building. Oh,
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: my God, I started today off with that water break
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: outside the store. And I said, hey, look, you know,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: here's the situation. We need to find out what's going on.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: I'm walking out nine hours later, and you should see
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: this parking lot. It is bathed in water. It's all underwater.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: And it's like, you've got to be kidding me, man.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: And the funniest thing about it is we didn't have
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: any guests that come in and said, hey, You guys
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: sprung a leak out there. And, of course, my smart-ass
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: answer would be, well, we've been drinking a lot of
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: iced tea with sugar in it. No beer, just a
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: bunch of iced tea, and we were just going out
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: there and just peeing. God, I could never say something
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: like that, even though I would think it'd be funny.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Our guests would go, you're just so fucking gross. Yep,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: that's me. Hey, that's going to do it for another
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: exciting edition of CTCS. The ups and downs, the twists,
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: the spins, the ins, the outs, the arounds, the beneaths,
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: the over the tops. And oh my God, are you
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: kidding me? Did they really say that? Oh, they're saying
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: a lot of stuff this summer. This is going to
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: be the summer of what? Fuck. It just seems like everybody,
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: including the older blue-haired women, everybody's got to say that word, fuck.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: They'll put fuck in anything. Man, that was fucking good coffee. Yeah. Boy,
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: you guys have a really fucked up system here. I mean,
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: they do, and you just sit there and you go,
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: how are you getting away with saying this? I don't know.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: I'll see you next week on CTCS.
