Speaker 1 (00:01):
When you need to know she's got you. It's three
things with tip.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
So I took a trip over to the West Side.
I gotta tell you about that in a few minutes.
Hold on, that's coming around eight thirty. But first let's
start off with your Timu and she Shei, your she
in packages.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
Oh boy, Timu and Sishi.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
I have no idea, to be honest, if you've ordered something,
what will happen to your packages at this point in time?
If you're just waking up, haven't scrolled your phone, no
idea what's going on. The USPS announced yesterday that they
are pumping the brakes on packages that come in from China.

(00:44):
Now your letters and your postcards, if you happen to
get one, are going to be fine. It's parcels at
Up until yesterday, there was always kind of this like
thing with China where it's like, hey, if your goods
are worth less than eight hundred dollars, you're not customed
to I guess you're not. It's the phrase I'm looking for. Sorry, sorry,

(01:08):
ADHD brain neurodivergency come in. And there was this rule
basically if it was under eight hundred dollars, it didn't get.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Searched by customs now here.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
As we head into this new era of Trump tariffs
on certain things, that is changing. I have no idea
if this is going to be permanent, or if like
Mexico and Canada where they figured out like a thirty
day pause or push while they get organized and get situated.
I don't know if they'll They'll make some changes and
announcements in the coming days.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
I will almost certainly keep you posted.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
But TIMU and she and are big users of the
USPS system to get packages here. Now, what will happen
is they'll have to start shifting over to other companies
like FedEx, ups, maybe DHL and things of that nature.
Will that affect our costs on some of it? Most
likely from what I've read, TMU should be able to
hang on to their low cost products and kind of

(01:59):
just adjust some things on their end. So I don't
know if we'll feel the side effects of that one.
When there's more, I will have it for you. Don't panic.
Eventually you'll get whatever it is that you've ordered off
the TikTok shop.

The co chair is always a big deal. Always.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Celebrities for this year are asap Rocky Forrell, Williams, Coleman Domingo,
and Lewis Hamilton alongside honorary Chair Lebron James. Makes sense
