Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Box two news headlines today.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Congresswoman defends her closed eyes moment. Listen, there's no we
have no political sides here on this show, but I will.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Say she does bring us spoonskeis, but Debbie.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Dingle does bring spoonskeys, and she's always been very nice
and we loved her husband. And there's no political party there.
We like people on both sides. Michigan's Debbie Dingle is
going viral after appearing to not off during a twenty
hour congressional hearing. She later explained that she'd been up
for thirty one hours straight and just closed her eyes
to think. I totally believe that. You don't have to

(00:35):
be a I don't have to be a congresswoman to
do that.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
No, but we all do that in defense of her
and anyone that was in that meeting. If any of
you closed your eyes, you had the right to. It
was a twenty hour congressional hearing.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
If she's the good.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
Lord only one that closed her eyes, I'm shocked by that.
I'm going to close my eyes in an eight hour
congressional meeting.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Listen. I work with people have a tough time with
two and a half hours. I tell you something. Those people.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
You'll tell you what, Congresswoman.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
This is a really tough time for some people. It's
a tough time. You're very tired. Twenty hours.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Anyway, Dick's Sporting Goods could buy foot locker. I saw
a foot locker in the store and I was in Houston.
I said, I forgot about foot locker.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
I'd never like. I just it's sad.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
I used to get our new Adidas shoes from there,
and like your new.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Sneakers, who would online? I always forget about the shoe
store was so much fun. I feel guilt sometimes for that.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Yeah, yeah, Because I mean, anything I need, I just
don't go type it in my Amazon, even if it's
a specific brand of something. Boy, I type it in
my Amazon search bar, and then I just throw it
in my car because you know that it's going to
arrive in three days, if not sooner than that, and
it's hard to pass that up.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
I shit took a picture. I got real screwed by Amazon,
and that never happens. Not really.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
I got screwed, I'm telling you, and probably because it
was third party and it came from the box at all,
which I didn't know. I needed to buy an acrylic cube. Okay,
so think about a clear acrylic box.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
It's about this tall.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
I just wanted in my office to display some Boots
the most Superman movie, and I wanted to be elevated,
and like, I just wanted an acrylic.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Box, as one does to display boots.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Yes, that's how you display boots on an acrylic box.
And you elevated off the floor so long. And the
short of it is is that the thing came in
a box that you had to assemble, which I was
confused because when I think in acrylic box, I think
it's folded and all together.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yeah, it was four sides.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
It had this paper on it that you had to
peel off of it, which took forever to it. And
then it had like tongue and groove things that you
build almost like duplex like those leg big leguplos.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
The moment you slid the little part in to make contact,
the moment you put it.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
In, it snaps off immediately and it's done. The whole thing.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
I mean, I literally smashed this thing into one hundred
pieces through it. It was the worst thing ever. I'm
going to write a bad review.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
I don't blame you.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
I don't even want my money back, but I should.
It was expanded.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
It was like two hundred bucks. It's horrible. But is
that Amazon's fault. It's the third party's fault. But I
think I got a look, I don't know, you're just mad.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
I think Amazon expects us to do too much reading
in the description because I'm always ordering something like I
need a twelve inch pan and it was two inches,
and I need a two inch bird bath and it's
forty inches. Like, I don't have time to be reading
all your descriptions. I look at the picture. I'd like
it to match the picture. I don't think that's asking
too much. Well, let me just say the picture of
the cube looked like what you wanted, right, I think so?

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yeah it did. If you if you have an Acryla
cube company, you let me know. I will be a
good customer. And I don't want to assemble a cube.
I'm not, nor should I have to. Can I ask
who wore the boots in Superman? Well, they're nuclear man boots.
Oh okay, where are they right now? Since they're not
on display you're standing on the floor. Oh oh god,
I need them to be elevated. Yeah, you do listen.

(04:00):
It could be anything.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Okay on Amazon it's holding up a plant on another
and another picture. Somebody put a piece of a statue
on it. I can't imagine who would put a piece
of art on acrylic tonning tongue, tongue and groove block
that splits the minute you put it together.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
I'm glad you're not mad about it. Oh so mad.
You smashed it into pieces. Smashed in piece right out
to the garden. I marched it out to the garbage
