6:02
Speaker 1: They just they just make you think it.
6:04
Speaker 2: Huh.

6:07
Speaker 1: close and personal. I mean about the I'm to try
6:10
Speaker 1: for the folks out there. I don't mean to. I
6:12
Speaker 1: don't want to scandalize anybody, but you do buy a
6:14
Speaker 1: lap dance if you take it back here. Wow, get
6:17
Speaker 1: a little nervous here talking about this. I told April
6:20
Speaker 1: about it. Oh you told your wife all about it? Yeah.
6:22
Speaker 1: I came home because I felt bad, and I said, Honey,
6:26
Speaker 1: I want to just tell you about something. I said.
6:28
Speaker 1: A girl she put her right up there. And April
6:31
Speaker 1: just got up and did the dishes. But I feel
6:34
Speaker 1: she was listening to me anyway, And I explained, you
6:36
Speaker 1: know when you say a girl put it right there, Well,
6:39
Speaker 1: she's dancing, okay, and she's going in a circle and
6:43
Speaker 1: it's nose high, I mean, and anyway, she's, you know,
6:47
Speaker 1: dancing to a song called you Better Shop. You ever
6:50
Speaker 1: heard that's? My mama told me, Yeah, you better shop around. Yeah,
6:53
Speaker 1: that's it. So my mama told me. And just as
6:56
Speaker 1: she said, you better shop around, came both cheeks of her,
7:00
Speaker 1: you know, but right eye level. Huh yeah, face level.
7:05
Speaker 1: So that's when I felt, if ever, I was gonna
7:07
Speaker 1: fall in love. That was the moment, and I told myself,
7:10
Speaker 1: don't fall in love. Don't fall in love. Don't because
7:12
Speaker 1: I didn't want to cheat on my wife.
7:14
Speaker 3: So if you'd fall in love with her, you would
7:16
Speaker 3: have felt that you had cheated, of.
7:18
Speaker 1: Course, so I thank thank god I did not. I
7:23
Speaker 1: just felt, you know, it was I was so tempted
7:25
Speaker 1: because would you better shop around? And now her butts
7:28
Speaker 1: swinging back and forth right eye level. Hard not to
7:31
Speaker 1: fall in love with something like that. Tell me about it.
7:33
Speaker 1: So anyway, right now I'm looking at by the way.

9:10
Speaker 1: Today here on a Steve Ozel show, as I fill
9:12
Speaker 1: in for Phil Henry Uh, I was reminded of some
9:18
Speaker 1: early experiences I had as a young man working in uh,
9:22
Speaker 1: you know, direct order and working in warehouses and stuff
9:25
Speaker 1: for people to have stuff mailed out of Christmas time. Yeah,
9:27
Speaker 1: you were, you were tweeting about this. Yeah, and I
9:31
Speaker 1: want to let people know the dangers of it and
9:34
Speaker 1: if there's some way that we can come to a
9:36
Speaker 1: meeting of a meeting of the minds on this and
9:38
Speaker 1: try to you know, make it up to you because
9:40
Speaker 1: I've I worked in the in the mail order business.
9:43
Speaker 1: I worked at warehouse when I was just out of
9:45
Speaker 1: high school and we would get orders and would say,
9:48
Speaker 1: this is an overnight rush delivery. They had three kinds
9:51
Speaker 1: of orders. They had overnight, they had three day delivery
9:54
Speaker 1: and uh and just like regular mail. Yeah, it's like
9:57
Speaker 1: take a week or something exactly. Yeah, So everything was
10:01
Speaker 1: fine when they'd say, okay, let's see, we got got
10:06
Speaker 1: to get this out for a week, a week, a week,
10:08
Speaker 1: that's fine. Even three three when they said we got
10:10
Speaker 1: an overnight delivery. See all better, just hop to it.
10:15
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, man, you had ten so yeah,
10:19
Speaker 1: just the memory of it right now is kind of
10:21
Speaker 1: coming back to me. If you're gonna vomit, there's a cup.

Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not gonna vomit, but can I have

10:41
Speaker 1: and we all are getting over. So yeah, we've all
10:43
Speaker 1: had it. Yeah, so I would start to panic. And
10:48
Speaker 1: when we'd say it's got to be overnight, and well,
10:52
Speaker 1: they would say it to you. Yeah, I'm sorry, I've said.
10:55
Speaker 1: They'd say it's got to be overnight, overnight delivery, and
10:57
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the pressure's on, you know. Whereas
11:00
Speaker 1: before we'd say okay, like we mailed out a lot
11:03
Speaker 1: of stuff at Christmas we mailed that dolls, the baby dolls,
11:07
Speaker 1: and the different kinds of dolls, you know, and yeah,
11:10
Speaker 1: like toy dolls for little girls. Yeah, yeah, exactly. We
11:14
Speaker 1: also mailed out ceramic figurines. Those are kind of tough
11:17
Speaker 1: because those have to be packed just just so and
11:19
Speaker 1: just right. They have to be packed very sweetly and nicely.
11:22
Speaker 1: It's always like if you pack a ceramic like an
11:24
Speaker 1: angel or. We had these ceramic imps and ceramic pixies.
11:28
Speaker 1: And we don't mean ceramic pixies, man, I mean, who
11:30
Speaker 1: buys those? A lot of old ladies. I mean, I
11:33
Speaker 1: don't mean I'm I don't mean to talk down old,
11:35
Speaker 1: but a lot of old ladies love to buy the
11:36
Speaker 1: ceramic pixie just that's the way it was. I mean.
11:39
Speaker 1: And they what they do is they collect them. Yeah,
11:41
Speaker 1: a lot of these women and men too collect these things.
11:44
Speaker 1: We mean men too. What do you mean pixies? They've
11:46
Speaker 1: got other things, different kinds of figurines, don't they.
11:50
Speaker 2: Well?
11:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they had like a Henry eight to one,
11:52
Speaker 1: and they had Henry eight who Henry the eighth? Oh,
11:56
Speaker 1: oh yeah, they had Henry the eighth. Then they had like,
11:59
Speaker 1: I don't know, like an night and stuff. But a
12:01
Speaker 1: lot of them are pixies or imps or elves, and
12:04
Speaker 1: they're all made out of ceramic. And sometimes the elf
12:05
Speaker 1: will be like in a little dancing pose. Well, if
12:09
Speaker 1: an elf is in a dancing pose, he's already got
12:11
Speaker 1: the pointed nose, and he's got long, slender fingers, and
12:14
Speaker 1: then he's got one leg up. Everything is just sticking
12:17
Speaker 1: out on an elf. Okay, what does that mean? What
12:20
Speaker 1: I'm what do you mean? What does it mean?
12:22
Speaker 3: Jesus tease being? You see you're doing exactly you tell
12:26
Speaker 3: us not to do.
12:26
Speaker 1: General all right, I'm pulling around. Are you talking about
12:30
Speaker 1: how the elf has an don't don't even go there.
12:34
Speaker 1: So anyway, if the truth be told, yeah, I saw
12:38
Speaker 1: we packed out. There was one week we packed out
12:40
Speaker 1: five or six of these ceramic elves. And I remember
12:43
Speaker 1: I commented to the owner of the company who I met,
12:45
Speaker 1: mister Bergman and his wife. I met them at the
12:47
Speaker 1: Christmas party, and I said, Spurma, you don't know me.
12:52
Speaker 1: I'm nervous thinking about it. My name is Stephen Boseel, Sir,
12:55
Speaker 1: and I want you to know that we packed out
12:58
Speaker 1: fifteen of the pixie elves the Christmas Pixie elf and
13:01
Speaker 1: he goes yeah. And I said, sir, I know just
13:05
Speaker 1: that the pant the pants in the slack area. And
13:08
Speaker 1: I said, can I speak to you away from your
13:10
Speaker 1: wife for a moment and he goes, yeah, sure. And
13:12
Speaker 1: so his wife went off and she danced to the
13:13
Speaker 1: boogloo or whatever they were dancing. What do you mean
13:16
Speaker 1: the boogoloo? It was some they had some R and
13:19
Speaker 1: B band uh and and I said, I had to
13:22
Speaker 1: tell you, sir, if you look at the pant what
13:25
Speaker 1: the elf is wearing what looked to me like cargo shorts.
13:28
Speaker 1: And it's got a stiff, you know. And I said,
13:29
Speaker 1: it has a stiff. I said, I was going to
13:32
Speaker 1: say dick, and then I stopped myself. I said, it's
13:34
Speaker 1: got a stiff, dick, dickpitness and he kind of laughed.
13:37
Speaker 1: He goes, you're kidding. I go if you see He goes, no,
13:39
Speaker 1: that's a crease in the shorts. I said, okay, let
13:42
Speaker 1: me let me ask you something, Steve, because you've always
13:45
Speaker 1: got some story that is uh and you're always ready
13:47
Speaker 1: to put me down for the things that I feel. No, no, no, no,
13:49
Speaker 1: hold on, you just told me that the Pixie ceramic
13:53
Speaker 1: Pixie that you mailed out had on cargo shorts. Yeah,
13:57
Speaker 1: he said that. Yeah, what about it? I'm sure what
13:59
Speaker 1: what you talking about? Me?
14:00
Speaker 3: I don't think're gonna put it in a ceramic Yeah.
14:04
Speaker 1: It's a ceramic design, all right. I don't know if
14:08
Speaker 1: they were a cargo They looked like cargo shorts to me.
14:10
Speaker 1: They looked like they had, you know, uh pockets and everything.
14:14
Speaker 1: They might have just been pixie uh whatever, they were
14:17
Speaker 1: pixie tights. There's a big difference between pixie tights and
14:20
Speaker 1: cargo shorts. Oh really want to tell me all about it?
14:24
Speaker 1: General Chop, Yeah, I got you in that one. General,
14:27
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you really got me on that one. Never mind, Steve,
14:29
Speaker 1: all right, So, uh, you got to be extra careful
14:33
Speaker 1: because they have their their hands are out and they're
14:35
Speaker 1: dancing and they're waving. It's as if they're skipping and
14:37
Speaker 1: gleefully through the night. So it's easy to break off
14:41
Speaker 1: a hand, it's easy to break off a leg. You
14:43
Speaker 1: can even snap the head off. So we were packing
14:45
Speaker 1: in one night. We had an order, we had a
14:47
Speaker 1: quick overnight order for five of these of these Pixies,
14:51
Speaker 1: and they were all going to the same lady. I'll
14:52
Speaker 1: never forget. Her name was missus Tarmula was the name,
14:55
Speaker 1: and I don't think I'm given a way anything. She
14:57
Speaker 1: lived in Philadelphia and we were working at a car in
14:59
Speaker 1: a a warehouse Knoxville, Tennessee. So we needed to pack
15:03
Speaker 1: these in and pack them out and get them sweet
15:05
Speaker 1: and you know, sweeten them up and get them on
15:07
Speaker 1: their way because they had to be overnight to where
15:10
Speaker 1: she was living philadelph Did I say philadep I forgot
15:12
Speaker 1: what I said, Yeah, And uh, sure enough. I'm rushing around.
15:17
Speaker 1: I'm going, okay, God, you know, because I felt my
15:19
Speaker 1: hands started to sweat, and no, you're probably making all
15:22
Speaker 1: the guys you're working with the nervous too. They were nervous.
15:24

15:42
Speaker 1: because of why, because I've just I broke down. I said,

Speaker 1: goddamn all of you to hell. I hope you all burned.
15:47
Speaker 1: They pulled me off the line and they said, go home,
15:49
Speaker 1: and you know, you know, just take you know, just
15:53
Speaker 1: take a chill, go home, reflect on what you've done
15:56
Speaker 1: and reflect on what That's what they said. Yeah, that's
15:58
Speaker 1: what they said. So I went home and I come
16:02
Speaker 1: back the next day refreshed. I felt, you know good,
16:07
Speaker 1: I felt as if I'd been fully renewed. I go
16:10
Speaker 1: back down to the warehouse. Well, what do you know,
16:12
Speaker 1: the old ladies ordered six more. So just like the

Speaker 1: But it's no difference. But it was the ceramic voilure
16:26
Speaker 1: pixie by the artist Sigmund Boilur. He's like an Argentinian
16:31
Speaker 1: or something. And it was the voiler Pixie, is what
16:35
Speaker 1: it was called. And you can get the six you
16:37
Speaker 1: can get a set of six or a set of
16:39
Speaker 1: twelve pixies that can dance through the night. That was
16:42
Speaker 1: the advertising copy, you can get a set of pixies
16:45
Speaker 1: that dance to the night. Well I don't. It was
16:47
Speaker 1: probably some sort of a magical Christmas message. Yeah, something
16:51
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, get your set of pixies. They'll dance
16:53
Speaker 1: through the night. That's all I remember. So they put
16:56
Speaker 1: me back on. They go, this's another overnight, and I'm nervous.
16:58
Speaker 1: I'm going, oh, man, I just so, I've been moving around,
17:02
Speaker 1: moving around. I'm trying. I'm trying to keep it together
17:04
Speaker 1: because I knew they sent me home and I saw
17:06
Speaker 1: out of the corner my eye, Bill Vexa, who is
17:09
Speaker 1: a friend of mine, he dropped the pixie. And once
17:11
Speaker 1: he dropped the pixie, I think that gave me the
17:12
Speaker 1: psychological you know, it gave me the psychological subconscious permission
17:17
Speaker 1: to also. I dropped one and the head flew off,
17:21
Speaker 1: and I got so frustrated, because you got to understand,
17:24
Speaker 1: I wanted to do it so good. Bill drops. When
17:27
Speaker 1: I dropped one, the head comes off. I'm looking at
17:28
Speaker 1: a pixie head and this little dancing body, and I
17:30
Speaker 1: just God forgive me for this, but I just stomped
17:33
Speaker 1: on it, and I stomped on me. Take it easy.
17:37
Speaker 1: See you want some water? No, I just crushed it
17:40
Speaker 1: and crushed it and crushed it.
17:42
Speaker 3: Well, I mean you were you were angry at being
17:45
Speaker 3: forced in that position.
17:46
Speaker 1: I was, yeah, but there was something very wrong about
17:49
Speaker 1: me just looking at it and going, God, I want
17:50
Speaker 1: to crush it. Well I can tell just looking at
17:53
Speaker 1: your face. Yeah, the the memory is coming back. Yeah,
17:56
Speaker 1: and I just went got killing a cort. Get up, Steve,

Speaker 1: Yeah, we had a lot of delivery problems, and there
22:18
Speaker 1: were a lot of guys who were out sick.
22:19
Speaker 4: Well, there was a lot of psychological accountling that was needed.
22:22
Speaker 1: Uh wait, wait a minute, you're saying you needed psychological counseling.
22:27
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I did, no, but I mean there
22:28
Speaker 1: were a lot of people there.
22:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, there were quite a few working at the motion warehouse.
22:34
Speaker 4: Because they had these very very beautiful pixies and l
22:42
Speaker 4: you know that they wanted to have them packed us right.
22:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, we had to pack these just right. Otherwise they'd
22:47
Speaker 1: send them back and say, man, you they would humiliate you.
22:51
Speaker 1: What would they say, Well, I mean they would say,
22:52
Speaker 1: like red you remember, uh, they.
22:54
Speaker 4: Say, if you can't put that pixie so we can
22:58
Speaker 4: be assured the fact that that facey's going to delivered
23:01
Speaker 4: in a cute in the it'll still look cute, you know.
23:04
Speaker 4: Because they wanted they were very keen on making sure
23:07
Speaker 4: the presentation once you opened up the box, you know, uh.
23:11
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, the presentation of Pixie.
23:14
Speaker 1: What's that you talking about the presentation of Pixie.
23:17
Speaker 4: Yeah, the presentation of Pixie had to look good.
23:18
Speaker 1: Yeah. They wanted everything to look sweet and cute. And
23:21
Speaker 1: and so now comes that day and I think, reg
23:25
Speaker 1: you remember when Davey he dropped that Pixie.
23:27
Speaker 4: Yeah, as soon as he dropped that Pixy that day,
23:30
Speaker 4: I knew that life had I don't want to sound dramatic,
23:33
Speaker 4: but I knew that life as we understood it had tanged.
23:37
Speaker 1: What do you think life as you understood it?
23:39
Speaker 4: I mean the basic facts of life as we are,
23:43
Speaker 4: not just where we were working, but how we perceived
23:47
Speaker 4: the universe around us.
23:48
Speaker 2: You know, as Steve he went home.
23:50
Speaker 4: You remember that field Steep.
23:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, there there was a field behind the warehouse. And
23:54
Speaker 1: when we dropped the first Pixie, and I knew, now
23:56
Speaker 1: we were under a lot of pressure and we had
23:57
Speaker 1: to get Pixie. We had to get what we called
24:00
Speaker 1: that the Pixie overdrive, which meant we had to make
24:02
Speaker 1: sure we had to double up the Pixie delivery. A
24:05
Speaker 1: lot of people don't know we're hold on for just
24:07
Speaker 1: a bit of both of you gentlemen. A lot of
24:08
Speaker 1: people don't know what we're talking. We're talking about Steve
24:10
Speaker 1: Bozella when he was a kid working in a warehouse
24:12
Speaker 1: delivering these ceramic pixies for Christmas. Now you're in pixie overdrive.
24:17
Speaker 1: It's called pissy overdrive, right, And we went into pixie overdrive.
24:22
Speaker 1: And I'm all like, okay, you know, I mean whatever,
24:24
Speaker 1: you know, I do whatever I have to do.
24:26
Speaker 2: See, Steve still gets kind of emotional about it.
24:29
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not not bad emotional.
24:31
Speaker 4: Yeah, it sounds like you're about to cry.
24:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, it sounds like you're about to ball.
24:34
Speaker 4: But so what happened that he dropped that one pixie
24:37
Speaker 4: that Dave Oberfure dropped it? And I said, man. And
24:42
Speaker 4: so Steve walked out of the warehouse into a field
24:45
Speaker 4: and I just still remember seeing him.
24:47
Speaker 2: There were a lot of high weeds, and there.
24:49
Speaker 4: Were those high pussy willows and sunflowers, and I saw
24:53
Speaker 4: Steve's head and chest above them, wandering back deep into
24:56
Speaker 4: the field.
24:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I was thinking, and I asked him, I said.
25:00
Speaker 2: What do you what are you doing? He said, I was.
25:02
Speaker 4: I was contemplating, you know what, what what was going on?
25:05
Speaker 2: You know what? What.
25:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was just thinking about how could life go
25:08
Speaker 1: this wrong? You know? Wait, man, man, what what what
25:10
Speaker 1: went wrong?
25:12
Speaker 2: They got? Steve was just crushed the pixie?
25:15
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, because right after that I told you you
25:18
Speaker 1: said you stepped on a pixie.
25:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was more than that.
25:21
Speaker 4: Once over fewer dropped that one pixie and Steve felt
25:25
Speaker 4: the pressure.
25:26
Speaker 2: Then he crushed one.
25:27
Speaker 4: He crushed it and he kept on kicking and crushing.
25:30
Speaker 2: We had to pull him off of it, you.
25:32
Speaker 1: Know, he pulled him off it. Man.
25:33
Speaker 3: I was a little tiny ceratic tixie.
25:35
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was all over it. So he was all
25:36
Speaker 4: over it like white on rice.
25:38
Speaker 1: And oh man, I know it's a bad memory. And
25:42
Speaker 1: thanks a lot for bringing it up. Guys. Hey, look, Steve,
25:44
Speaker 1: we're just trying to figure out what you're talking about now.
25:46
Speaker 1: Now you're telling you a major psychological snap it was.
25:50
Speaker 2: It was what would you say.
25:51
Speaker 1: Steve, I needed to take a week off because I
25:55
Speaker 1: just crushed it and crushed it.
25:57
Speaker 2: Yeah.
25:57
Speaker 4: See that's exactly I heard him the way here that
26:00
Speaker 4: night and the way he looked and he looked up
26:03
Speaker 4: at me. I said, Steve, snap out of it, man,
26:06
Speaker 4: I said, Steve, it's I said It's just a pixie.
26:08
Speaker 2: Man.
26:08
Speaker 4: You remember in the movie It's a Chinatown Jake, the
26:10
Speaker 4: same thing. He said, Steve, it's just a pixie.
26:13
Speaker 2: And he looked up at me.
26:14
Speaker 4: He had fire, both sides, bright red like his only smaller.
26:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so I were you fired? I was fire
26:22
Speaker 1: eventually fired. Yeah. I didn't want fired after that job.
26:24
Speaker 1: But that's what I'm saying. And what I was talking about,
26:27
Speaker 1: reg was the idea of these overnight houses.
26:30
Speaker 4: Overnight and yeah, when you order something and you want
26:34
Speaker 4: to deliver the next day, that's good for you, Good
26:37
Speaker 4: for you.
26:37
Speaker 2: You ought to do that.
26:38
Speaker 4: But just remember there's a price to pay on the
26:41
Speaker 4: other end. And there's some guy of warehouse who suddenly
26:44
Speaker 4: feels I better get this going. I've got to do it.
26:47
Speaker 4: I got to do it. I got to do it.
26:48
Speaker 4: And pretty soon his his nerves are worn thin and
26:52
Speaker 4: he is ready to just tear, tear, tear, throw that
26:55
Speaker 4: place into the street.
26:57
Speaker 1: Basically, that's what I said to And I said that
26:59
Speaker 1: to Earl Boscock, who was the foreman. I said, I'm
27:01
Speaker 1: gonna throw this place into the street.
27:03
Speaker 4: That's right, that's what he said.
27:04
Speaker 1: You were gonna throw that place into the street. Huh, yeah,
