being Arrow the Podcaster, I live in the real world.
Everybody has to have a job, right Mine is CUS
(00:20):

motivated and pumped up to keep that constant connection with
each and every person who has chosen to step into
your location. I mean, will it come back tomorrow? Depends
on what you're doing today. Episode number one ninety seven,
the July fourth weekend is here. Wow, has covid made
(00:42):
a comeback? Plus the Charleston Chew has returned to store shelves.
This is CTCs.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Transition Walk Day number one out of three. Got that
live performance tomorrow, July fourth is here on the weekend
and one into that weekend. I don't know what's going
on with me. I have no voice. I've got a temperature.
Of course, I'm going to go in to see us today.
And the next question is is that why You've got
a temperature?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
And I've done so much damn research.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
On that that you really shouldn't call in sick unless
it's one hundred zero point four degrees. So you know,
go in, let them see what's going on, and I'll
let them decide for me.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Then. This way, then they're not going to think that.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Well, he's just he's lying because it's fourth of July weekend.
He just wants two days off. Oh god, I'm on
the transition walk because I've always believed that when you
do feel like this, you got to get that blood moving.
And so out here in this force, the blood is
moving and we're grooving forward. All the day starts off
a little magical today, a little unexpected kind of action.
(01:48):
A woman comes in, she's won five hundred dollars for
the lottery. Usually when they win that kind of money,
they play by one rule is that they're going to
receive four hundred and eighty dollars and they're going to
tip the person that gave them that five hundred dollars
because they believe that it's passing things forward and they'll
be lucky again very soon. So you know, hey, getting
a twenty dollars bill the very second I get here,
(02:08):
That's that's how you started a day when you feel
like crap, so.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
You go back to the hospital again.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Yeah, I've had a bout movement that was.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
A little more girthier than I've had in a month
because I haven't There was a week I didn't meet
and then I've been slowly coming back and it fucked
me up, dude, Like I couldn't walk yesterday.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
Yeah, it felt in the sun of mine. Tessa's like
like the hole had opened back up. So and that's
the possibilities. But I went in and got checked out
and wow, did see any infection? So but yeah, yeah,
yesterday fucking suck. I can't afford to be out. It's
written out until tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Yeah, I have to come back. Yeah, yeah, fucking money.
But oh god, dude, be mindful.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Don't take for granted the poops you can pass and
why well that hurting is and you.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
That's embarrassing. You got.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Bill brought up a very interesting point, and that was
that during the month of June, when school is out
in college, is every released and everybody's you know, kind
of just trying to find themselves. During the summer months,
everything slows way down, not just for grocery stores but
for restaurants. As well, and so all of a sudden,
when July fourth shows up, like you know, it's like,
oh my god, we haven't worked this hard since when.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Oh that's right, Memorial Day weekend.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
And so so it's just trying to get our bodies
and our minds back into shape. And people, especially the
new employees, are all going, what the hell is hitting me?
Speaker 4 (03:35):
All right, I'm sitting here with you, hopefully or contigure
it's thermometer in your mouth so you can't.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Talk, keep it.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
It's probably gonna be been feeling like shit today. You
sound like pure ship. Now you said your wife said it,
so hopefully it's not too bad.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
No, no, no yet, no ship. You feel like shit though, right? Yeah?
Oh yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:58):
I mean if you feel like you can't no, I
mean I don't want you here if you're sick.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
No. I was just you know, I had a hot flash.
I'm going to fuck here. It comes, it's hot as
fucking here.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
But you don't know, right, It's like me, I'm like,
am I getting a fever?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Am I getting a direction? Fuck? All right?
Speaker 2 (04:16):
When I was a kid, the Charleston shoe was like
my all time favorite candy bar. I mean, I literally
could not put those things down. And then as you
grow older, you know, those things just kind of disappear
off the marketing map. But then and then walking through
the store, what do we have? We're selling these gigantic
Charleston shoes. So for the past week, now, what have
I been doing? Every time I go by there? I go,
(04:36):
Fuck you, Charleston Chew. You're not getting me. I'm not
following to you again. I broke that habit. No way,
Charleston Chew, You're not getting me. And you know you
just sit there and you just have one. But you
know what'll happen if I have one, Charleston Chew. That's
the start of a new addiction. What's with all the
drama with Pepsi, Coke and seven Up?
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Dude, Well they never so soft drink companies.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
It's fucking to July. This is one of their big days.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
They're going to sell a shit ton of burgers and
ship ton.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Of drinks and all of coke.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Pepsi and seven Up are running it by two get three,
specially at the same time. Instead of putting three separate
signs up on this giant show, if that they all
share the sign says by to get three coke pepsi
board seven up.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Oh I would get them off.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
I would too, yeah, yeah, but working here because those
you know, coke and pepsi can never usually cox By
two get one, Pepsi get too, they would have a
different beer.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
You've never been able to book them.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Yeah, and so for them it's a customer to come
up and say what says that on the sign? I
took the word for it, and then I went and
read it and I'm like, it doesn't say that at
working here, I I know that that's not a fucking thing,
but they don't know that.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
So I mean we took care of them and honored it.
But it's like the people that make fucking size let's
sort of guy. They don't the don't think they don't
work this environment right, And that's not to just credit
their job, but they don't have enough experience in what
goes on in real life. It's great to sit behind
a desk and go this sounds great, but in real
(06:11):
life it's not right using everbodys talking about it.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Oh, there's still more CTCs right around the corner. It's
the July fourth weekend, remember, and the Charleston Chew is back,
will I fall to the pressures and bite into that
chocolate monster. Hey, thanks for coming back to CTCs.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Transition Walk day number two out of three. Yeah, not really,
I'm sick. I'm down for the count. Temperature is pretty high.
Even though we did have a great performance, yesterday was
a very tough performance. You know, you feel like those
those musicians who go out on those tours and then
all of a sudden from Adam know where, they say,
you know what, I'm gonna take the next couple of
days off because I'm feeling under the weather. Yesterday was
(06:52):
one of those performances where, no matter what, the show
had to go on. And today I'm paying for it
because I pushed myself too hard. I did smuch damn
research on that. I mean, first thing this morning. It's like,
what do you do now? And one of the things
you're not supposed to do is push yourself as hard
as I did yesterday. So I won't be at CS
today and we'll do probably one of the very first
(07:14):
times we'll ever have only.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Two days on CTCs.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Goodness, but I'm in the forest because they say doctors
say this, take your walks, do limited exercising, get that
blood pumping and moving through your system. I'll see you tomorrow.
Transition Walk day number two out of two. Yeah, I'm
headed in today. I think the line that I wrote
in my daily writing today was I need them to
(07:40):
fall witness to my illness. You ever get that way
where it's like you don't want to be that person
that everybody's standing around talking about, going.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Oh, he's not there.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
He's not here because he's faking it because it's the
fourth of July weekend.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
He just want an extra time off.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Well, on this transistant walk today, my goal he is
hopefully getting out into this forest and CAUs you can
hear my breathing all fucked up.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
That's pretty bad, you know, But I got I gotta
see let them.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I've they've got a witness my illness. But anyway, we're
about ready to get hit by a tropical storm, Sean Taal.
So we're gonna do the paths and walk in the
forest and then I'm gonna make my way to see
us witness my illness. Back in business at the store
this time around, I'm wearing the mask again.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
I said, I'm going flashbacks.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Of all the times I have I've had COVID twice
and this is not COVID.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Just trust me on this one.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
But I think still in trying to protect our guests
and things, I'll wear the mask for a little bit
and we'll kind of get used to this because it
sucks to have this thing on.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Mar stop and did he thank you for that tea? Sirt? Dude?
The second I saw crowds, I just started laughing so loud. Yeah,
thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
And sorry it took you took a week in you know, what.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Are you doing? You're stalking over here today? How you
be here?
Speaker 4 (09:03):
They have been gone like.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
That's typically you. Yeah, overdoing it, overdoing it.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
No, literally, Dolina gave me such a long list.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
I had to do like twenty cards of those since
like six.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Since you were here at six o'clock this morning. Yeah,
totally cramp I would leave.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
You can't, she said. If I don't, if I leave
any cards for long and that nice, he's gonna murder me.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Okay, that's her. That's her, all right, Tommy tough knuckles,
thank you for that. I noticed she didn't put my
dinner breaks in there. I had to do it is
the reason why I don't write them in there because
what if what does it matter?
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Number one, because we know you go at the same
time every day, but for some fucking reason, well we're
not even shorthanded, and me and Hurry getting stuck at her.
Well yeah, she cats she's on a fucking Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Man, how is that even possible, especially a holiday weekend?
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Well, because sales wise, he stays down. I mean, it's
not a typical Sunday, right, just right, just uh. We
we got our ass kicked that morning by the afternoon,
four or five o'clock. It was that of ship where
we got our ass kicked that morning.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
It's over now next one Labor day weekend.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Yeah, and it'll prob be fucking moves you tomorrow. I'll
follow on a holiday that Monday, we'll get our ass kip.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Yeah, yeah, get our asscape tomorrow two days after Independence Day.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
And you know what's going on here in the store,
Oh yeah, before they go back to work tomorrow. Everybody's saying, man,
we over bought for our for our Independence Day celebration.
We're bringing it back and they are by by the thousands,
and and so that's been my job today is to
go back and forth one on one trying to figure out,
you know, okay, what's going where, what do we say
(10:40):
when we get rid of and all that stuff. So
it's very very interesting. But every time there's a holiday
and we go through this, my third grade teacher, Missus Semison,
always used to tell us how you keep your desk
in this classroom is how you probably clean your bedroom,
And that always stunted my growth because I was like,
oh god, she's right. Well, as an adult, this is
the way I feel that. How you keep your shopping
(11:03):
cart is how you keep your kitchen when people are
just throwing junk in there, and the bread's getting squished,
the eggs are breaking, things are.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Popping off the bottles.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah, how you keep your shopping cart is how you
keep your kitchen.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Well that's it's another exciting edition of CTCs. The Upside
Downs that twists, the spins, the spills, the pushovers, the
oh my gods, and the lyars and the steelers, the
beggars and whoever else is going to come walking through
that door. But the only thing you want to do
is create a solution. Yeah that's me yep, hey to
me a favorite, Create your own podcasts, let us inside
your world.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
