As we reconnect with the electrifying world of professional wrestling, we tell you all about the recent big weekend and the return of R-Truth. We also touch on the dwindling Black Friday frenzy in the retail scene, and share our personal experiences during this holiday season. Hold onto your seats, folks - we've got tons to talk about!

Ever wondered what it's like to volunteer in youth sports? We take you through some intense courtside action as we explore the challenging, yet fulfilling world of coaching young athletes. Learn about handling drama, negotiating with difficult parents, and striving for fairness - even when your own kids are on the field. And as if that's not enough, we'll also take you behind the scenes of our experiences at GameStop, highlighting the company's management and operational mishaps. We even throw in a discussion around the controversial practice of publicizing charitable acts on social media - and the potential narcissism that can accompany it.

As we roll into the final part of our episode, we've got an exciting discussion around the game of cribbage, and its unexpected popularity among accountants. And let's not forget our special guest, Milo the cat, who adds his own unique charm to the conversation.

And I watched.
I watched so much YouTube todayAbout wrestling.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
I watched all the reaction videos today.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Nobody's talking about our truth.
No, and I was like yo.
Our truth is probably in morewrestling shape than CM Punk or
Randy.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
He's immediately brought the comic release Randy.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Orton's fucking jacked.
Can we talk about that?
He is so huge that he can'trest.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
He's eight, like six babies.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
He's like Brock Lesnar with a bad back and see
him punch.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Looks old, he does it still.
See him punch that picture.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
They were using him like his face.
I was like that's terrible.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
His hair was an.
I was never afraid of his hair,even when it was long.
That was terrible.
This is a segue into ourwrestling podcast that we've
been talking about doing forever.
They really that's.
All we want to do is just wejust want to sit around and talk
about wrestling.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Big thing I guess we need to get out is welcome back.
I mean, we've been out for aweek and a half, but holidays I
forgot that we didn't telleverybody like I meant to.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
I Got really confused on our news, our new shooting,
like our new recording schedule,and I got super confused on
when on us releasing onWednesdays, and I was like, well
, we'll just record next weekand and I know Ryan was probably
confused on what I was sayingso he didn't say anything to me
about it.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
We didn't even talk about it.
We didn't fucking know how wecan came out, came went.
We're like well, I guess we'redoing this.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
Uh, travis Sturgill Message me and was like when the
fuck's the show?
And I was like, dude, my bad.
I was like we didn't recordthis week and then I was at my
mom's All weekend, so we'reactually doing a turnaround like
we used to do back in the day,like three weeks ago.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
I'll tell you what I would have loved to have had if
we had had that episode.
I mean, I've been posted onFacebook and stuff that.
Come on, guys, y'all gonna haveto engage with this a little
bit here.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Messages.
We need some stuff.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
I was gonna open after that episode I thought for
sure I was gonna open mess hereand I thought there's like 20
people talking to us.
I was like I can see youbitches on the page.
Just see me a message, just belike hey, I hate my job.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah, well, my big thing was like, literally, we
went through Retail hail, whichis black Friday.
I would love to have hadsomebody on for that segment
just to be kind of be able totalk through all that.
And I still think it'ssomething we can Pursue in the
future because there are so manygood stories tied into black
Friday, like I remember so manyfrom you know just when I was at
Walmart man up and everythingelse.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
One went out Um.
It was my birthday, blackFriday birthday.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
I don't ever believe you're sure birthday.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yeah, I fuck with everybody for so long.
I used to change my birthday onFacebook all the time, mm-hmm.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
That's the only way, people watch a bunch of people
send you gift cards.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
I was like now.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
every time your birthday pops up I'm like, oh,
congrats.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
I think your five birthdays.
Your message was literallyhappy birthday.
I fucking guess I don't know, Idon't think it's your birthday.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
Happy baby birthday.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
But yeah, um, me and clay went out, me my son went
out and we were gonna try tofind some.
We try to find some deals onaction figures and and stuff and
and it was not busy out like itused to be.
Everybody shops online now.
It was not crazy.
Target was kind of crazy, butlike Rassel, figures are 50 by
one for getting 150% off, sothat was kind of hot was people

(04:50):
like Driving towards that saleor were they just kind of know?
we went out at like noon and itwas still a bunch of shit, Like
there was TVs laying out in theyou know like big, big sales
online yeah.
I was really surprised.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Online sales are so much more accessible now.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Well, especially because it doesn't make any
sense that online sales do blackFriday and Cyber Monday.
It was like they did CyberMonday.
I get it from a retail, from us, from a retail standpoint.
People just like to hear blackFriday yeah and like it's a
buzzword.
So let's use some retailknowledge here.
Let's share some.
Let's share some retailknowledge that we have that I

(05:26):
don't know.
I mean, a lot of our listenersdon't aren't in retail.
There's a ton of other jobsEven, but when you're in retail,
you think the only job isretail.
Yeah but Sales are not real.
If you know this or not, theyare not real.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
They are marketing ploy and it is as close as a
scam as legally possible as thethose are really designed to
drive volume and fit traffic.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Did you see that tick tock where, like the girl is
like pulling the signs off atTarget, the same black Friday
sale and like the prices Underit it's like reduced and it's
like they're normal every daysame sale and I was like, yeah,
sure, but who's the idiot?
Right, like everybody else islike going crazy for towels that
are like not even there's, noteven a good deal.
When I see stuff it's not evena good deal and I know I think

(06:13):
my retail knowledge helps me alot look at stuff and think
that's fucking awful.
But I also I love any impulsebuy like I'll buy.
I'm a sucker for in caps yo.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Well, in caps into any type of impulse buy section,
like around cash register,anything like that's always big
thing.
And then we used to have likethe big, huge drop shippers that
were in the middle of theaisles and stuff.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
I'm stop so, like they captured, there's designed
to capture attention as you'rewalking around through the store
red, yellow, blue.
Yeah ready.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Yellow, blue they're always ready.
I'll are blue.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Red, yellow or blue and 90% of the game stop.
It was always after Glower madcats.
Oh yeah, the cheapest shit madehumanly possible for holiday
sales.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
I love that, how flashy the section at Walmart
always is.
That's the, as you can see, asyou seen on TV, mm-hmm.
And, by the way that, as yousee on TV logo, it's ready.
I love blue.
No it's big, bright, ready.
I love blue.
No, there's a reason.
All all restaurants have readyI love blue.
This is our 40th episode.
We got way off track.

(07:18):
I know that sounds like I justdone edit, but I promise I
jumped straight into it becausewe're gonna get lost in the
retail world and and and and ourtraining of how to attract
customers to a certain positionin your store.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
I wish we could train people to attract them to our
podcast.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
I was.
I feel like there's not enoughready.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Yellow and blue to really get that memo out there.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
What's funny is there are a lot of unpaid lunch, qr
QR codes and onion caps and thedollar store and like, but most
of our logo is green.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna getCharlie to you're gonna change
it shit.
Yeah, I'm gonna get Charlie totake it.
Charlie, please make our logolook more like McDonald's 40

(08:04):
episodes in and actually finallytook matrix.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
I had looked at matrix a long time.
We are over well over 8,000downloads.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
That's hot, yeah, I don't look at them either.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
I hadn't looked in, so I don't listen to them, I
don't I don't log into them.
That's really good, I wouldlove to see us hit 10,000 before
we hit that one year mark.
I think that'd be big.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
What was our first episode?
Somebody tell us Bad bosses andyeah, I'm thinking what, when
was it March, march or April?

Speaker 2 (08:38):
I'm gonna shit out, go back 40 weeks, yeah, 40 weeks
loosely, oh, we were not here.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
You're not here.
Lots of tweaks here can't solvethese problems.
Can solve these problems.
We didn't miss.
I want to point out that wedidn't miss and I think we might
be one of the only.
All right, fucking give us somecredit, because we might be one
of the only podcast in thenation.
We didn't miss an episode for35 weeks.
Yeah, none, none, we didn'tmiss it all like there was
nothing.
And yeah, we're tooting our ownhorn, all right, but it's hard

(09:07):
for me to commit to anything.
Okay, so 35 weeks was prettysolid.
There's some episodes thatpeople weren't on, I Think.
Did we used to have?
How many mics were there?
How many people were on the shiit's always.
Oh, I was thinking maybesomebody else used to host with
us, but I couldn't.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
I think we did have another person.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
I can't remember how many times.
Yeah, that was good though thatand this is our 40th week we
were gonna try to have my callon, but he has a hundred kids
and when I'm with sick, I thinkeverybody's sick right now, but
I don't know if this is like aContinental thing or if this is
just our freaking shit wholecounty, but everybody's either

(09:53):
got flu, a flu be Covid, or dogsgot it now.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
Yeah, I saw that.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah, dog Rona dog Rona.
I don't know.
The bar corona there's there'sgot to be a whole lot of those
to set up.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Play just.
Well play by, play, try my sonwent.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
My son went big foot by the.
How do I know where he's goingthere?

Speaker 2 (10:17):
I know we're there kitchen.
He's kind of slowly saunteringaround the middle island.
He is really not wanting toclear back through, cuz he knows
that we're kind ofcontemplating what's going on
right now.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
I'm clothes are coming from a recent knee injury
in the basketball game.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
There he goes, he's walking back.
It gives us a nod.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
He doesn't like the underwear he's wearing.
He's changing him.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
Yep Red is his killer .

Speaker 1 (10:40):
Yeah, we're recording the night before we post.
We haven't done that in a fewweeks.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Yeah, it sucks.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yeah, it's okay, but we're here.
We're here for you guys.
For the content 40 weeks, 40weeks, maybe 41 episodes.
I really just don't know atthis point.
My backup hard drive knows it'stoo much.
Yeah, I'm off that.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Well, knee injury Did he get hurt playing ball.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
Yeah, he was having a great game and he like he got
team there playing prettyphysical and he got.
He got jammed up and pusheddown twice.
The second time he come downwith his knee behind him.
Man injuries abound everywhere,right now to.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
I'm telling you, I'm still blaming everything on the
flood.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
Everything's flood mud.
It's everybody's everybody sickfrom flood mud.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
So it's pretty good segue, though.
So we're talking about sportsand flood work and everything
else.
Only one type of work gets thatdone, so today's concept and
I'm gonna bring this up, andthis is gonna be a hot take, but
I stand by it the hardest jobin the world is volunteer work.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Yeah, uh.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
I don't want to do a job.
I get paid for that's what I'msaying, so I immediately caveats
things there.
That's gonna make you beimmediately off of it.
You're not getting paid.
Yeah, it's usually prettydemanding hours.
Yep, quite a large commitment.
There's no HR, which isprobably not a bad thing to some

(12:16):
but yeah, I don't probably whenthe drama begins in the
volunteer work.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
There's no writing it in yeah, none Especially need
sports, jesus, so volunteer,volunteer work like to me, and
that's gonna mean somethingdifferent to a lot of people,
right.
But like to us, it's sports.
We volunteer in sports.
We volunteer.
We coaching to us right.
But other people volunteer intheir communities, volunteer at

(12:42):
schools, you know, volunteervolunteer shelters.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
I think we do it in two segments.
So let's start with the firstsegment and we'll say volunteer
work pertaining to your children, because that's how a lot of us
get had winked into it.
I won't say had winked, I enjoyit.
I enjoy a lot of things thatare derived from volunteer work,
with voluntary coaching, youknow organization of, you know

(13:08):
rec leagues and this, that andeverything else.
but God, there's a lot ofresponsibility, it's tied into
it and, like you said, with noHR, nobody to control, nobody
control the shit, like whendrama happens and you got nobody
to do it but you let's say, youknow Most other jobs is like
you if you have a weak link,everybody else, you know We'll

(13:29):
find some way to pick up andmake the new on me still meet
the status quo, meet, you knowyour deliverables and things
like that.
Volunteer work just makes youwant to choke them.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Oh, you're not getting compensated for you, so
it's just yes, when you're atyour real job, you get your
reason for not Blowing up andand leaving is you want to keep
your job.
You want to keep your job andkeep getting paid.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
New volunteer work makes you question it near like
I'm not getting paid for this.
Is it worse?

Speaker 1 (14:00):
parents are all terrible to me and I'm coaching
their child, yep.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
So even kind of a slight deviation from that, if
you find someone who has nochildren and they're coaching
volunteer, coaching their timeto coach your child's team for
youth sports, fucking put themon your shoulder and pack them
around like they just fuckingone.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
Yeah, with no kids involved, right.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
No kids involved, because these people are fucking
saints.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Yeah.
Or they just usually just ortheir sociopaths.
It's one of the one of two.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
Usually love the sport.
They love the sport and likethey want to see kids actually
develop and things like that.
But then also there's no daddyball or mommy ball or whatever
you want to call it.
God nothing.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
Nothing raised my blood pressure.
You're like there's no coachesand four kids at start.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
There's none of that.
They're usually, you know,looking at things from our
perspective of the betterment,of the full betterment of the
team, but they're few and farbetween.
I mean, more often than not,when you're doing youth sports,
it's somebody's mom, dad, uncle,grand, happy, three times
removed.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
And we coach our kids .
So we're not, we're not notcalling ourselves up.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
I'm heavily involved in it.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
And I often kind of feel bad for my kids sometimes
because I try to steer so faraway from the daddy ball still
that if my kid looks to be wrongon the first day of practice
I'm going to be puked, benched,oh yeah.
Benched immediately Like my dad.
That's me, and I've spokenabout this probably on the
previous episode in the past,but I remember one practice
where my dad said, hey, go playfirst base.
And I was like, why, so I neverplayed first base?

(15:39):
He's like you questioned me andhe literally made me run to a
puked up whole chunks of raviolithat I had just ate before I
got up there and on the way homeI was like, why did you do that
to me?
He's like someday you'llunderstand.
You get it.
Yeah, I get it now.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
Yeah 100% you do the same thing.
Yeah, it would absolutely makesense.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
I mean, I'm a devil to my child on a, I feel like
field, something I've always.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
I feel like people who volunteer in animal shelters
are like that level of like youvolunteer in animal shelter
that's.
That sucks too, if you're doingactual like work in animal
shelter and there's usually alayer of narcissism in those
people, though.
Well, if you're posting onlineabout it like it's just all
Instagram posts, that's all itis, yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
Yeah, my biggest piece in the world is like oh,
look at all the charity workI've done.
Yeah, I'm like I wonder whatcharity was?

Speaker 1 (16:32):
like?
Social media, the cloud gets usthere.
Like every time, I every time Igive $5 to salvation army.
I take a picture of it.
I give $5 all the time.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
It wasn't for the betterment of something, or was
it for a tax write off?

Speaker 1 (16:46):
Um, I want people to know I do it, I'm in it for
cloud.
Yeah, I coached a team beforemy son.
Before my son was born, Icoached a baseball team.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
Yeah, that was a train wreck.
I was a part of that.
It was tough, wasn't it?
I was part of that.
It was tough, wasn't it?

Speaker 1 (17:00):
We had nine friggin players.
Yeah, it was terrible.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
It was ah, what was it?
Seven new baseball at that time?
Yeah, and they didn't want todo coach pitch, they wanted six
and seven year olds to pitchDude.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Oh my God, it was so bad.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
And they could not pitch.
It was the worst, so you end uphaving a pitcher come up walk
15 batters in a row Games wouldtake four hours Three innings.
Yeah, four hours.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
Yeah, they were like it's a mercy rule, but it's fun
and nobody could pitch.
Our best pitcher was a girl, mycousin.
She was our best pitcher.
She was.
It was so bad and you couldn'tpitch.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
barely ever.
Larry was involved with thatteam.
Yeah, larry was there.
Shout out Larry.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah, the whole time we got him on.
He coaches.
He coaches middle schoolfootball and he actually has no
kid involved in it.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
Does he no kid involved in middle school?

Speaker 1 (17:52):
football.
No, his girl plays everythingelse.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
See, that'd be yeah, be surprised you don't play yet.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
And he loves the sport, though that's like he's
legitimately like.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
like I said, he's one of the ones you throw up on
your shoulder and you pack themaround.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
He absolutely loves it.
I don't, I think I would.
I don't know.
Man, it's tough because you actlike you would like volunteer,
like we have a soup kitchen.
Do we have a soup kitchen?
Do you know?
I don't know there's a soupkitchen.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
Feels like a.
There was a lot of volunteerwork during the pandemic, yeah,
and basically a lot of makeshiftpop-up soup kitchen yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
And that's kind of where we were going with.
It was everybody, and that'shard because that's not.
That doesn't feel like likevolunteer work out, like
everybody was digging people outall the time everywhere, and
then, like you said, there was alot of like people grilling on
the side of the road and handingfood out and all that shit.
So that's I was digging, I wasdifferent.
Yeah, that's the Especiallyduring the flood.

(18:47):
Yeah, that's what I mean.
There's a lot of people doingsome good shit, man.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
You know it's so funny is like you.
We think about the flood beingthe one single most catastrophic
thing you know that's happenedin this area, this location
probably.
I mean it was like they call ita hundred year flood, but God,
how quickly did we get away fromdoing good things for people?

Speaker 1 (19:08):
It's wild.
I said at the gas station theother day.
The gas station was likecrowded the other day and like
people were like arguing andstuff in there and like and it
was just shit at a gas station.
And I said, well, we really, wereally forgot ourselves.
Didn't we Like remember acouple of years ago when we were
all real close and thecommunity came together and
everybody loved everybody?
And shit changes quick.
People forget about everybody.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
and still again, rob and just if you're the slice bit
inconvenienced.
It's like I went down the othernight.
Like it is 24 hour gas station,they were shutting everything
down at 12 o'clock kind ofchanging drawers and stuff.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
Yeah, over and shift change.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
Yeah, I was the only one in the building and the guys
like I'm so sorry, this isgoing to take like five minutes.
I'm like bro, do you?
It's fine?

Speaker 1 (19:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
He looked at me and get man.
I'm so sorry.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
I'm like you've been jumped over.
Yeah, you've had a couple ofassholes ripped here.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
I'm like done this work.
I understand what you're doing.
Take your time.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
Well, and we got.
We got a ton of catching up todo on episodes, and I mean on on
shit that's happened the lastfew weeks.
But like Black Friday, and Ireally mean it when when I said,
say something nice to a retailworker or a food service worker,
because Black Friday, if you'venever worked it, if you've
never done retail, if you'venever done food service and
you've never done it on BlackFriday, you don't know what it's

(20:22):
like.
People are mean, people don'tcare about you.
You're the bottom of the totempole.
It's the epitome of full oncare.
It's terrible man.
And that's why I am so good tomy waiters or waitresses.
I'm so good to them.
And most of the time Now youcan get shitty service.
But most of the time if you getshitty service, it has nothing
to do with the waiter.
Like they're, they're overdoneon tables because they're under

(20:46):
staffed or the food, the foodbeing late has absolutely
fucking nothing to do with them.
So and then retail workers,cashiers, don't even get, they
don't get a good.
Nobody says anything to them.
No, they should get tipped.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
Bring up like tips and stuff.
Now it made me think ofsomething a while back.
I don't know if this is goodbehavior or bad behavior, so I
don't know if I saw us on TVshow or if someone told me that
they done it.
I can't remember but they saidthat they would basically sit
down at a bar and you knowthey'd get like a pitcher of

(21:21):
beer or whatnot.
It's what they'd order.
You know they have their glassand got you and they would lay
40 bucks down the table andevery single time they had to
pay or every single time theyhad to feel their own glass
backup, they would take moneyoff the table.
Yeah, so I I'll look at that.
I'm like I see good and bad assomeone who's weighted tables.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
That table is getting the shit end of everything.
It's going to be bad becausethat is I think it's a very I
don't know man.
It seems Rude, for sure that'swhy, I'm for lack of a better
word.
You're like.
You have to earn this you know,just straight up TV shows,

(22:06):
instead of the Understandingbetween the two of you, that you
have to earn it.
You know, I mean, it's the samedifference.
It seems a little narcissistic,I guess, but I don't know, I
don't know what kind of personwould do it.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, instead of just beinglike fucking here's, here's, $10
.
And beer the problem is tipping.
Wages go up and and or pricesgo up and tipping goes up

(22:32):
because prices go up, but thenwaiters waiters don't get paid
anymore because men wage nothingraise and so they don't get
paid anything.
But then we have to pay moretips because the food costs more
.
They get the shit in man theyget, and fast food, gas station,
gas station.
We're still waiting for our gasstation attendant episode.
Everybody's afraid to come on.

(22:53):
Everybody's afraid to come onthe show.
No joke, everybody's afraid.
Don't chill, she'll fire withme.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
Oh yeah, yeah they're .
They're all scared to do threeand they're like yeah, fucking
will not come on.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
I got one for sure We'll if we can get him out.
I'd like if we can get him out.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
I've talked to one down here, neon Freedom of the
family here.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
Yeah, he's like no no , she fucking will not.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
I've talked to her.
I ain't doing it.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
She's the OG to.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
Not doing it.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
You just gotta hang out there long enough and
somebody will get fired or quitand you can get.
They'll come on the podcast.
That's what we do, because thatthat's a whole different beast
to that's working.
Working black Friday At the gasstation you get to see
everybody on their way and youget to see them on the way back.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
It's like Friday, it's having to work Christmas
and having to work Christmas Eveand Thanksgiving, all of it.
There is no time off in gasstation work.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
No, you, you and you get no breaks.
No uh, you get no breaks at all.
Nobody's there to relieve youwhen.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
I work.
I didn't get a lunch?

Speaker 1 (23:51):
No, there's no fucking lunch.
What are you kidding?
You're working on a shift eightto four by yourself.
There's no lunch, no lunchwhich.
I mean I didn't W40s chair.
It's fucking.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
Which I mean at times , gamestop is the same way.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
Yeah, yeah, there'd be times where I would buy
yourself.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
I wouldn't have the coverage.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
So yeah, well, they just do whatever.
Now, like I said, they justclosed their fucking, they close
the gate.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
They close the gate and do whatever they want my
wife with him on black Fridayand she's like it.
Oh my god, it's so dead.
She's like it's not even thesame play.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
There's.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
I barely even knew they were.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
I'm surprised you didn't come across the tick-tock
where the dude's like the dudeworks at GameStop and he's like
this is what it's like to workin a game stop.
This is like now.
This was like to work in a gamestop 20 there's nobody there.
Yeah, they have the same shitall the time.
They know there's no stockrotation because they don't run
out of anything.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
Nope.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
I go back to GameStop once every six months and
there's the same stuff there allthe time.
Well, you don't?

Speaker 2 (24:46):
well, hmm, just say it.
So she was looking at a coupledifferent games and so she's
like the pricing on this is somuch cheaper online For black
Friday than when it was in thestore.
I was like it's because theyknew the price changes.
Yeah, yeah, they just didn'tfigure out doing them.
She's like, well, what do youmean?
I was like.
I mean like when they openedtheir drawer, whenever they
logged into the computer thatmorning, all of a sudden that

(25:08):
thing goes and all of a suddenit shits out about 400 price
changes.
They knew them.
They're saying they didn't do.
Yeah, they just didn't do it.
Or if it's like a Display copywhere you have the makeshift
like labels that you're supposedto put on your own.
They didn't change them, theydidn't put in the effort to it.
So that's why you see a lot ofthe same shit when you go in
there, like the drop shipperstuff, the loot like the pop

(25:30):
figures and all that differentshit.
It's been there for like a yearand you're like yeah, I know
this should not still bestandard retail price.
It's not.
It's probably 70% off, butsomeone's too fucking lazy to go
do the damn price.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
So does it if you get it and take it up there, will
it?

Speaker 2 (25:44):
ring up, it will ring up cheaper.
It will ring up even it like,say, if it's a pop figure that's
been there for four years andsupposed to be 250, the price
label says 999.
When they scan it at theregister it will say to bet that
shit happens all the time, allthe time.
Everything they scan is like adifferent price because, I'm
gonna be honest, when I workedthere, there was some shit I did
not price change and it waslike single packs of cards, yeah

(26:05):
, or like little tiny fucking,like the little edbd, tiny dude
ads.
That is your, probably yourheaviest shrink out of me.
Anyway, fuck that, I'm notprice changing.
Yeah but it's digger any of them, I'm not doing it, it's useless
, I don't care.
But if it's something I mean Iwould make in caps of shit that
I knew was on sale because Iwanted it out of my stone,

(26:26):
please get this out of here.
Oh, so when the best Confusedthat you would ever see is
whenever a new like we wouldtake, we carry, you know, a
certain stock of new games foreggs amount of months and Then
finally, once you hit thiswindow, were like, okay, this
game's not selling anymore, theywould, in the system, flip it

(26:47):
and convert it to a pre-ownedtitle.
Make sense.
So by doing that, sometimesyour collector's editions that's
been sitting there for a longtime get flipped to a pre-owned
title and then when they do,what you're supposed to do is
either put the pre-owned pricinglabel on that or pull the game
off, go through the display,just put the game out and then

(27:08):
do away with the material.
No one ever done on.
Nobody threw that shit away,sure.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
I'll tell you that right now that boy didn't hit
the garbage.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
Oh no, that never happened.
But what you would end up seehappening is Is employees would
make a way with that loot.
I'm sure hundred percent.
Why not, I always did thatfucking.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
I can't help it fuck.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
So I will never forget I'd already bought one,
but I was eyeballing another.
I'm a huge middle gear fan.
Middle gear rising revengeanceI think it was the name of the
title.
It's the game.
It's purely built out right.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
They had a collector's edition.
They had a globe and encasedaround a sword like in the stone
, and it was like a one of thoseelectrode lamps, like when you
turn on so every start shiningfor.
But whenever you touch certainparts of the globe, like the
electricity would hit yourfinger like those.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
Tessa coil.
Yeah so cat, cattle, devil, andthey love me.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
They know I'm allergic to them.
They love you, they love me.
I don't I'll go get he lovesyou.
Oh, he's so mean to him didn'tlike that you would know when
these titles they will let youknow when they were getting
ready to convert to Priya.
Yeah so you would see all thesestore managers all of a sudden
start calling.
It's like hey, I see you havethis, collectors.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Oh, sure this title.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
I have a customer here right now that wants that.
Can you please ship it up hereto my stop bullshit.
They went getting them out ofstore.
6, 9, 5, 5.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
Yeah, no, it's fucking.
They weren't gonna know.
Sorry, I kept that shit Welljust say you can't, you don't
have enough, you, you might.
You might say so.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
This one's listed in the system as a collector's
edition and I know how much theyprobably want this, but the
reason this one's not, so it'sbusted all the pieces and it
looks like.
So I don't really feelconfident sending it up there.
You're like, if you want tocopy the game I can send it, but
like Whatever they collect boysand so it's broken game stops.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
Infamous for like penny and stuff and throwing in
the garbage Like strategy guidesand not my store, I know that.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
That shit, oh sir man .

Speaker 1 (29:22):
you know what I miss?
Fucking Lane, your man, you,you and Larry used to get me the
most badass Lane.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
I used to have a coat hanger like 6,000.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
I know, I remember it , where they at you got them in
a box somewhere there in my oldhouse.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
I wouldn't go get it.
There's a drawer.
It's full of them like.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
I believe me.
No, that's the house and donethem.
Yeah, no, I'm not gonna.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
Yeah, I remember like I had like dishonored stealing
it like how to live.
In addition, pikachu, one thatyou could only get at our
GameStopcom.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
I got that fallout one with the new Cacola.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
Mm-hmm, bottle cap on it.

Shout out, cody Prager.

that.
All I think I got was a Box ofeternal masters out of it.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
He's he, I mean you know yeah he did that.
Yeah, he did that for living.
He's great at it.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
I think I got he doesn't listen to show anyway.
I wonder if he still has that.
He's probably sold that at this.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
I'm sure he sold that .
I told a lot of shit.
No, I'm surely, surely surelyyeah.
I think Cody, we should haveCody on have Cody on talk about
hobgoblin you get him on, Igotta show you talking about
volunteer work, and wecompletely went back to black.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
This is, this is what we do.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
This is what we do.
Sometimes retail feels likevolunteer work.
I would not, I would not, Iwould not volunteer to work
retail.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
That's how we that's how we got back there.
You brought a good thing.
And then the guy though selectthose pinning out strategy guys.
You were supposed to rip thecover off of it.
It's the road away.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
Well, the shit, why, like I, don't know, that's what
they wanted you to be a guy offof it.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
You know what you want to know.
What's gross is at one pointI'm pretty sure they pin it out
copies of we sports, oh.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
Fuck, those are like $40, $50.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
I could be wrong.
I remember that definitely.
We pin it out.
Links crossbow training.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
You know we should have a volunteer on so many
volunteers, but fuck that.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
We don't have any.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
We don't have.
I don't know, I don't knowanybody nice.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
We're both volunteer, we're both sick and talking
about it.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
It's added probably 20 years to our lives.
