about the Saturday night Christmas party.We're all, oh my, that's right,
that'll be big. It's our company'sChristmas party. I imagine there's a

(00:22):
lot of other people having Christmas parties. Yes, I'm going tonight to the
It's interesting to me. Angela isyou know, she's like a local politician
now with the school board stuff,so she gets invited all these weird things
that I would have never been invitedto. So I'm going to the town
of Blythewood's Christmas party in Ridgeway.So the town of b is not having

(00:46):
it in the town of Blythwood we'regoing out to. I think it's a
place called the Farm Ridge, whichis seeing it looks I mean, I
looked it up online. Looks beautiful. I might have even been there before
for an event, but I justthought that I have been there. They
got a nice If it's the sameplace I'm thinking of, I'm thinking it
is. They've got an incredibly largescreened in area that this time of the

(01:10):
year they pull the plastic down onthe screens and they have the outdoor heaters
out there, but it's rather large. Yeah, I was wondering what I
should wear. I'm guessing I'm gonnakind of dress the way you are right
now, with kind of like avest and you know, some sort of
flatl shirt Christmas color would be good. Well yeah, yeah, there you
go. Yeah, I'll look verygood and be sharing were your elf shoes?

(01:30):
Those are very very popular. Bythe way, I don't think my
sister in law listens, but Igot an early Christmas gift last night.
Okay, So I have two sisterin laws. One of them lives locally,
the other one lives up in Greenville. The local one came over to
help us. We were we're donating. I mean, by the way,

(01:51):
if you are a x X Lfor guys, I have just finally cleaned
out my cloth. And when Isay I mean I cleaned it out,
I mean I'm getting rid of liketen suits. Wow. I'm getting rid
of probably one hundred shirts. Wow, probably thirty pairs of pants. It's

(02:12):
all going to charity. So getready. Oh, what's the name of
the one downtown that helps with thehomeless. That's the one I'm giving it
all to, you know, OliverGospel, because they've got a new store
that they've opened up across the streetthey had the ladies stores? Is it
ladies and Men's now because it's rightacross the street from Oliver Gospel, I
don't know. But when I metwith well, it's actually across street from

(02:34):
the coffee shop, isn't it.Yeah, And he was telling me that
they were looking for men's clothing,high end stuff. Oh okay, So
I've got like a bunch of raffloreen stuff that I don't fit in anymore.
And anyway, so all that's goingthere, by the way, but
that would need to go do thesame thing. I got some stuff.
I was in my closet the otherday putting up a coat and I'm like,
my jackets are getting all crammed inhere and I don't even wear those
four I know, I get stuffI needed to. We are bad about

(02:57):
that. Yeah, we're so spoiledas America and they're so totally so anyway.
Point but the point being, sheenlisted my sister in law to come
help come help organize all this crapthat we're getting rid of. There's literally
a truck coming to my house thismorning to take off furniture and all kinds
of things. She delivered an earlyChristmas present from my sister in the Upstate,

(03:22):
which is I haven't opened it yet, but I know what it is.
I looked at the box and I'mgonna she said, you need this
early. It's three pairs of Christmasvacation socks. So I'll be wearing one
of those tonight. I don't knowwhat's what it'll be like, but I'll
get my LF shoes and I'll getmy Christmas vacation socks, and then I'll

(03:43):
get like a red flannel shirt.And that's my plan for to wear the
one where Chevy Chase is like isolatedsurrounded by electrical bolts. That's my favorite,
my favorite from that one. Allright, Well, maybe we'll talk
about Christmas parties you went to overthe weekend or tonight. I'm actually doing
my first of what will be many, because Sally loves to do this.

(04:08):
We're going to get together with anothercouple and we're going to drive around and
look at Christmas lights. Oh afterdinner do you like that? I don't
necessarily, but I'll like it withthis couple because he's fine. So I'll
have a good time, not necessarilylooking at the Christmas lights, but just
being chauffeured around town and okay,Christmas lights. My wife likes going,
like we'll go over to what's theSaluta Shoals Park or whatever, and we

(04:30):
may go there too. And Iseem to like it more if our niece
is with us, But if it'sjust me and her, I'm like,
what are we doing? Like there'sno magic for me anymore? In the
lights, it's cool to see ayou know, this eight year old.
Look at him, it's not afifty eight year old anyway. That's that's

(04:53):
neither here nor there. As weget ready for moral dilemma Monday, Jonathan,
you know, we're gonna have onefirst Christmas after the divorce and the
moral dilemma should we get back togetheras a family. They have an eleven
year old and an eight year old, and according to the dad, this
is really about the eight year oldwho has kind of been pushing We would

(05:15):
like, you know, she wantsthe mom and dad don't change our Christmas.
We want to do the same gamesthat we played, and you know,
all of it we want. Shewants Christmas the way it has been
for the first seven years of herlife, probably the last four that she
can really remember, and she wantsto play all the games where the pajamas

(05:39):
do the whole thing. And shesays, He says, I don't know.
It feels like I'm giving her asense of false hope if we put
this together for her this Christmas,like mom and dad might get back together.
Oh, I gotcha. So he'sin a moral d the eleven year
old, I don't I don't thinkcares. Yeah, from reading this,

(06:02):
you know, then there's the kindof thing that's Goodward. What would you
recommend for the dad. He's probablyhe's the one I'm guessing living out of
the house. Should he try tohave his own Christmas where the kids get
used to it? Kids, thisis the future. Every Christmas, you'll
be coming over here and going toyour mother's uh huh? Or should he
say okay for this Christmas because you'reeight, we'll do it one more time,

(06:27):
or maybe we'll do it too,or maybe we'll do it three more
times. But when you get intothat double digits, you're in the tweens.
We're done, so soak it up. Buttercup, Well, it's Christmas
at least half of us. I'mmiserable. Is that? What is that
what you would recommend? Well,I guess you got the weekend thinking,
yeah, get back to us onthat one. You got to think about

(06:48):
each person involved in this and that. Now I'm starting to flip flop,
are you? Yeah, you're runningit around in your brain, coming up
with all kinds of different answers.I'm just checking my emails here. Okay.
As of right now, we don'thave any new contests for Monday,
so okay, yeah, making sureto come down today about four o'clock.
We'll find out something. We're goingto give a way and go gosh,

(07:09):
we could have talked about that onthe podcast and promoted it all weekend,
but no alas no Els was comingback, we had a chance for you
to win tickets. We'll say youabout that on Monday. Parma, Ohio,
thirty nine year old Rosemary. I'malmost hesitant to say her last day
because I could just hear us mockingit. Miss Haney. She has pled

(07:31):
guilty after the video came out,So I mean what are you gonna do?
We see the video, Hello Rosemary. Hello. She did not like
the service at her local Chipotle andthrew the burrito bowl in the lady's face,
and she pled guilty. Her onlydefense was to the judge quote,

(07:51):
if I showed you how my foodlooked and how my food had looked a
week earlier in that same restaurant,it disgusting. Judge Timothy Gilligan says,
quote, this is not the RealHousewives of Parma. Your behavior is completely
unacceptable, and I bet you're notgoing to be too happy with the food

(08:11):
you're going to be receiving in jail. So he gave her six months in
jail. Then he said, I'mgoing to suspend half of it, so
you got three months in jail.Then this is why it makes national news.
He said, I'm going to giveyou an option of doing thirty days

(08:33):
in jail instead of ninety, andthen you work for sixty days minimum twenty
hours per week at a fast foodrestaurant. And he said to her,
I thought, why should the citytaxpayers have to pay to feed her and
keep her there when I could tryto teach her a sense of empathy for

(08:56):
what it's like to work at afast food restaurant. All right, Look,
I kind of get it. Thewhole thing about is going to cost
more to keep her. Look likeyou said, the food is horrific,
Yes, horrific. So we're notspending a whole lot of money on that.
Number Two, you still even ifthe jail cell is empty, you

(09:16):
still got to heat it, soit's not cost anything. And I heard
some people talking about this and oneof those stupid kicker segments on the news,
and it was even a female attorney'slike, I think this is the
best idea ever. And I'm like, you are complete moron with a legal
degree. Wow, Why in theworld would I, as an unsuspecting customer,

(09:39):
want to walk into a restaurant wherethe person who's going to be serving
me he's got an attitude worse thanfast food workers typically because you're serving out
a jail sentence by having to workat a fast food restaurant, already know
you'll throw food. What else willyou do with well, I mean I
wouldn't. Wouldn't the sentence be contingentupon her not getting fired? And so

(10:01):
if her attitude is bad, Ithink that the managers understanding that are going
to hold she'll probably be the bestemployee, because that's we're not talking about
just firing you. We're sending youto jail if you're bad at this job.
Okay, there, I got aquestion. Then who thinks they got
a job that is actually a jailsentence? I mean, isn't that insulting?

(10:24):
Your job is so bad that it'san actual it's almost the same as
prison. It's almost good that.I don't know that have I ever had
a job that bad? I don'tthink i've ever. I mean I worked
at Burlington coat factory and I dealtwith a lot of jerky customers. Oh

(10:48):
yeah, retails. Hard job,but the hours were horrible, But I
was younger and I didn't really carethat. They were like, okay,
you're working to split double today,So you got to be at eight thirty
to clean the place up, andwe open at nine, and then you're
gonna take it for You'll work tillnoon, and then you're off till four,
and then you're back from four tillclosing at nine, and then you'll

(11:09):
get out of here at ten o'clocktonight. So it's basically the whole day
has been wasted, but you don'tget paid for the whole day. I
didn't mind that as much. Restaurantwork was tougher. I remember, you
know, I was. I startedas a dishwasher. Found that miserable had
horrific athlete's foot because I was standingin water the whole time I was down

(11:33):
there, and then I were andalso my hands. I remember my hands
would get just dry from the thesoap and the whole art machine that you
use is so hot that my handswould sometimes even at home, I would
just be sitting there and start bleeding. I was like, this is I
can't get rid of the dry skin. It was horrible. And then I

(11:56):
was a waiter. I actually likedbeing a waiter, even when I dealt
with jerks. I liked it forthe I thought it was good tips.
I mean, even though the typicalbill was probably you know, in nineteen
eighty four, I was probably maxingout at like a twenty dollars bill for
the thing. But you know,people would tip you, say three,
four or five dollars, and youhave like three or four of those tables

(12:20):
in the same hour. You're like, my gosh, I'm making fifteen dollars
an hour. My dad was makinglike sixteen dollars an hour. It was
crazy and a lot of yours iscash. That's true. That's true.
So I actually liked restaurant work forthat era of my life. I don't
know that I would well, Iknow for sure now in my mid fifties,

(12:41):
I wouldn't be interested in it,you know. I thinking of the
jobs I had, retail was thetoughest one, tougher than farming. Yeah,
you don't, Coscale's on tall back. So just dealing with the people
was the hard part, getting upand going there. And only did that

(13:03):
for like a year of two buddiesand I opened up a radio shack in
Bitsburg. When you say you openedit up, what does that mean?
Like you were the like the managersor something like you owned it? You
owned it? Yeah? How oldwere you? Twenty? You had the
money to buy? How do youbuy a radio shack? I don't even

(13:24):
know how you do that. Well, the franchise was pretty easy to get
because it was closing down as wellas I remember, so the franchise fee
to get in. They wanted tokeep the location, so Tandy Corporation was
interested. One of the other guyswas the primary lead on it. I
wasn't. I was like, youknow, I was a third m but
my third was like maybe twenty percentof the investment. Okay, so he

(13:46):
was really the head of it.But we were all in it together and
we all worked it. Wow.But you know, just dealing with the
customers and dealing with the theft.Hate thieves, especially when it's like part
of your money walking out the door. That makes it even worse. Oh
my god, I was hacked.I'd look around and go, what the
hell happened to that? Damn tberadio those sons? Was that an edit

(14:13):
where he's flufty is off? Idon't think I edited myself in the street
when I went outside to look forhim. So yeah, then one of
the uh, then I got anotherjob offer and one of the one of
the other guys had a friend.I said, I want to I want
your share of the radio shack AndI'm like, okay, stroke me a

(14:35):
check. Oh okay, So hesold that. Yeah, so I was
there. I was in it forabout a year. What year was this,
like eighty uh seventy nine, Sothat's Radio Shack was still doing great.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,yeah, it wasn't like you saw.
Oh, and we had one ofthe best repair guys like in the
Midlands, so we had a lotof foot traffic people bringing in stuff to
get fixed. That guy's shop wasstaying busy. Yeah, it wasn't like

(14:58):
there you saw the cliff with itradioshack was about to go off, and
that wasn't until what the late nineties. I think the only radio shack still
open is in Manning, South Carolina. Still got the original sign and it's
a radio shack. Well who Ithink the Candy Corporation actually folded? You
dis ordered this stuff? They orderedit independalty, I think, yeah,
it was Tandy's out of business,so there's that was their whole I think

(15:18):
it's in Manning thing. Yeah,yeah, I see. I look at
it every time. There's the lastradio shack in America right there, next
door to a Blockbuster. Could beall right, we'll talk about your jobs
