(02:04):
bringing up right now is shredding. It's something that people
have been can we tak more and more about? Isn't
necessary to trend anymore? With all these data breaches and
data problems. People are like, unless you and I kind
of believe this, and this will be controversial. Take I
(02:26):
know our business. Shredding is part of our business. But
I do feel unless you live off the grid, which
none of us do, they have your information. And when
I say they, I say they, you know, the the
royal they they those people, government, whatever, there are somebody
(02:46):
to do this. And I'm not saying to be careless,
just like, here's all my information.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
But when it comes down to.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Your address, people are like, I want to erase my
address off this thing. I'm like, I'm sorry, I'm revery,
I'm again, I'm ben controversial. I think it's a waste
of time, waste of your time, throw the shit out,
recycle it. Who cares if you're thinking your label is
you're just wasting.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Time and you're trying to shred it. If we have
time to do that, do it. I think it's waste
your time.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
At this point in twenty twenty four, everyone knows your stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
They know even who cares. No one's gonna try to
I mean they can't see, like, but.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yes, when it comes to your past old passports things
like that, yes, shread those, old credit cards, yes, shread those.
That's something totally different, old bills. I don't get who cares?
They they know your stuff they know it. They they
they're already they No one's gonna try to come in
and pay your bill for you. I mean, like that,
(03:44):
that's just not gonna happen. I think it's it's in
the old days was more manageable. I think now it's
too late. It's like it's not as mangeable if they wanna,
if they want. And most of us who are listening
to this, they have been there. We've all been hacked.
We've all had identity after this point, I don't know
anybody who has not had identy theft at least once,
(04:04):
maybe even twice.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
On some level on something I had. My Starbucks card
got hacked.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
I was like Starbucks, it was my Starbucks card and
something else that was really weird that it.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Was my Star Wars card.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
And I figured the other thing that I would have
never guessed in a brillion years, were.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
You what they did my Star Wars card.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
They found out my numbers around and I didn't even
have that anywhere. They found it, and they went in
and drained all my money was on the cards that
I got and.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Then just made to zero.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I mean, actually, I had your body called Starbucks cards,
so go in and get my Starbucks actually planned it
for me.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
They did a great job. We got a new card number.
But it's just like I would have never guessed like Starbucks.
Stay them from Starbucks. It's crazy. So I was saying,
helped them, but not get into the minutia. I got
all the shredding, and I gotta do all. I gotta
put everything in shredding.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I gotta be very careful with again those those in
those ink paths that you scrape it across. It just
it's like, especially when it comes to your address.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Most bills don't have yourself security number on anymore. And
thing it's like that are full. They don't have it anymore.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
It's like it just lasts for a digital care I mean,
it's like it's I'm sorry. I think it's that we
just we have to move on to the business of
paper clutter. There's so much paper out there. People have
so much paper, and they're holding on to magazines and
stuff because.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
They need to need because they need to scare to
shred out. You know, Let's go through each magazine.

They shred the first page off and they go shred
and then people have these shredders that aren't strong they're
not They're they're not industrial.

shredding sitting in your house, cluttering your house, and you
