There 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:54.760 are a hurricane and tornado warnings in New Jersey. 0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:57.880 In New Jersey tornado.

Yeah, oh this tornado. 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:08.000 Can't rule out a pop up tornado. I've never heard 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:10.399 a weather preson say that ever anywhere, but they said 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:10.880 it today. 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:14.720 Because also, don't they pop down? Don't they come down 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:18.120 from the clouds? I mean, I just saw twisters. If 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:20.560 I have to buy a big pickup truck that drills 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:22.320 into the ground, I'll go do it now. 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:26.200 Pop up in the sense of surprise. 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:30.240 Wait, but it doesn't pop up a surprise a surprise tornado. 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:34.519 It pops up. They pop up shops all the time. 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:36.120 And they do pop up, right, but they pop up 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:37.720 from the ground. They don't come from the sky. 0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:41.880 I think you take things a little too literal there, Brodie. 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:44.320 Well, you know, if people here pop up, they're gonna 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:45.760 be looking at the ground and the ship's gonna hit 0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:46.320 him from above. 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:49.640 Okay, I worry about the people. I've never been in 0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:52.840 a tornado or a hurricane. Have you That sounds like 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:55.000 a real, big, important announcement to make. Have you been 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:57.000 in a hurricane? No? 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:02.520 Okay, but a lot of our listeners yes, But no, 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:04.720 I've not been in a hurricane, not been in a tornado. 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:07.519 I did not drive into a twister and shoot fireworks 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:08.360 off like in the movie. 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:12.360 No. I oh ah, for whatever reason, you know, listen, 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:15.200 I never say I want to experience that either. I mean, 0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:18.840 you're talking about serious stuff here, yeah, life threatening. 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:22.560 Speaking of movies, I went My cousin was like, oh, 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:24.800 let's go to the movies, and I'm like, okay, because 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:28.560 we originally we're gonna go see the the Somerset Patriots, 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.920 who are the Yankees double a team minor leagues versus 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:36.440 the Binghamton Mets. It's the Binghamton Rumble Ponies. Now the 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:39.520 double A Mets. So they're not called Mets or Yankees. 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:41.840 They have other names, but that's who they are. They're affiliated. Sure, 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:44.920 So they're promoting it as the Subway Series, and I'm like, 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:48.320 there's no subway between Binghamton, New York and Somerset, New Jersey. 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:51.560 It's not a Subway series. It's a series between two 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:53.640 teams that are the minor league teams of the teams 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:56.480 that play in the Subway Series. But they played like 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:58.520 five games this week of four games because minor league 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:00.280 teams they come in for the whole week. Yeah, to 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:02.720 save money, they come in for the whole week. So like, oh, 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:04.680 when do you want to go to the game? Like Wednesday, Thursday, 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:06.880 it rained all like all day Wednesday, all the day. 0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:10.600 Yeah, it's just pitiful. But it's like we ended up 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:12.760 at the movie. It's that annoying kind of rain, you know, 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.320 the ones where it's like that little little specky rain 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:17.160 that there's like like a net, like a bunch of 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:18.599 gnats like trying to attack your face. 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.159 Yeah, but it's not just that. All day today it's 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:23.920 been hard rain. Then it stops, the sun comes out, 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:27.440 and then fifteen minutes later it rains again. Yeah, it's 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:29.400 been NonStop. So I've been trying to walk my dogs 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:31.400 like we're gonna go now, we gotta go now, go go, 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:31.599 go go. 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:35.160 Now that I thought about it, back in the day 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:38.279 we were growing up, there was a hurricane that came 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:40.160 here in November up in the New York area. It 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:43.760 was a Hurricane Gloria. And I remember this, and I 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:46.920 remembered we had off from school and what did my 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:49.320 my friends and I what did we try and do? 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:51.159 We tried to talk here on Dick's No, we tried 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:55.920 to We tried to play wiffle ball, and it was awesome. 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:59.960 Playing a hurricane is great. You got an amazing curve? 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.680 Yeah, we did have. Did you have an amazing curve? 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:04.800 When you were trying to ask you on dio on 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:08.680 how'd you guess? Yeah? We had Superstorm Sandy, which was 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:09.560 pretty serious. 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:11.800 Yeah, that was a superstorm, not a hurricane by the 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:13.599 time it got no, but it was pretty rough. 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:17.040 It was wrecked Manhattan, It wrecked the Seagate and wrecked. 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:20.880 It probably did more destruction than anything in recent memory. Right, 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:24.320 It flooded homes in Long Island. I mean it was 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:26.560 it was not a good situation. Yeah, it was a lot. 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:28.840 Anyway, I said, I went to the movies. I went 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:32.640 to see it's supposed to be a psychological thriller, horror 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.520 movie which I don't normally go to, called Long Legs 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:39.840 with Nicholas Cage. Okay, the reviews were like, Oh, it's artsy, 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:42.640 it's well made. Two things I'm gonna tell you about it. 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:46.280 First of all, the movie sucks. Okay, there's so many 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:49.400 plot holes, so many things that don't make sense where 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:51.240 you sit there, you go, what why wouldn't you tell 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:53.840 the police. Why wouldn't you tell them that happened? 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:54.919 Why? 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:58.279 Like everything you could see was coming Like, oh uh. 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.200 One of the things that I in the movie, I'm 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:03.080 not gonna give any details. One of the things in 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:08.000 the movie is about little girls and birthdays. It's in 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:11.440 the trailer. It's not anything right. So the cop says 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:15.040 to the main lead in the movie, the woman. He says, Oh, 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:18.240 come over my house and you'll meet my wife and kid. 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:20.600 And as soon as he said that, I went guaranteed 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:23.600 his kid's a girl, and guaranteed her birthday fits the profile. 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:26.480 And sure enough it was exactly what. 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:27.279 Was going on in the movie. 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:30.560 And the father never realizes that his daughter fits the 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:32.960 profile of what the whole movie's about. 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:35.520 It's like, let's say people. 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:38.960 Were killing kids named Anthony who were born on February third, Okay, 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:42.480 and your father is a cop, and he's like, you're 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:45.080 kidding me. They're killing boys named Anthony born on February third. 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:49.599 Huh, it doesn't my real life birthday's coming up. Doesn't 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:52.080 realize that his son's birthday is is right? Is it? 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:54.600 Completely oblivious? Never mentions it. 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:56.720 Its shit like that. But that's not the bad part. 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:59.760 So we're in the movie and you know, people, it's 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:02.360 not it's not overly bloody, but there are some people 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:06.240 that get killed. And there's a particularly bloody scene around 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:09.640 three quarters into the movie. And right before it happens, 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:13.920 as the scene is playing itself out, two women come in. 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:16.920 They looked like they were maybe in their twenties, maybe 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:20.320 late twenties, with a kid, a little boy who looked 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:23.120 like he was seven, with his popcorn and his soda, 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.600 and they come in and the movie theater wasn't full. 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:27.720 It was an afternoon movie theater, and there was you know, 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:30.400 who's going to the movies in the afternoon. So our 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:32.920 whole row was empty, so like the five seats to 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:35.040 my right were empty. They come in and sit down 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:36.560 next to us, and. 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:38.720 The kid is The kid is seven, and he's talking 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:45.480 and I'm like, sh i'n't get man, And so my 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:47.920 cousin Leans goes, why would you bring a fucking kid 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:51.000 that young into this movie? Because they had no babysitter. 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:55.000 But the movie was three quarters over. 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:57.640 They must have seen like a kid's movie, and we're like, oh, 0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:00.840 let's sneak into another theater. Nah, they had nowhere to 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:04.080 put the killy scary. They weren't coming to the beginning 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:04.600 of the theater. 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:07.280 The movie. The movie was three quarters over. Oh that's 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:10.120 when they walked in, Yes, three quarters over. 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:13.640 So the scene is happening there maybe thirty seconds, and 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:16.800 all of a sudden, this guy's face gets completely smashed. 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:20.280 Blood gore, and they don't leave, And what do the 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:25.120 kids do? The kids like Lomi and they just sat 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:25.680 there with them. 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:29.600 Then after the scene ends, something else scary happens, and 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:32.240 then they go and then they get up. Why would 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:35.080 you walk into a horror movie and after the first 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:37.040 bloody scene you don't get up and leave. 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:41.440 The kid's seven I remember how growing up I wanted 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:44.040 so badly to see the Friday the Thirteenth, those early 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:46.600 films and the Hall early Halloween films. 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:48.720 The first one was nineteen eighty, wasn't it. 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:50.839 Yeah like that. Yeah, I was a kid. My parents 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:53.120 would not allow me to go they obviously they wouldn't 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:54.520 take me actually, but they let to. 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:56.560 Go to a Nicki Minaj concert, right of course, because 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:58.960 I was so young, right child. 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:01.520 I think the first horror film I saw in the 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:07.600 movies was Child's Play with Chucky or what Freddy Krueger 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:10.319 Night Mary on Elm Street, n Elm Street. I think 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:12.679 that was like the first horror movie I saw in 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:17.080 the movies with my friends, because that was of age. Yeah, 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:19.640 what about you like Texas. 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:22.120 Change consider No, I didn't see it. Depends what you 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:24.600 can consider a horror movie. Like when I was a kid, 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:27.320 I went to see Jaws. That that terrified me. So 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:30.080 I guess that's a horror movie. I mean it's a suspense. 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:33.440 Qualifying a horror movie. I get, well, what was that 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:34.360 nineteen seventy. 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:36.240 For a slasher film? Yeah, it's not a slasher film, 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.360 but it's a horror film. I mean it's people would. 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:42.280 Get eaten with scared people. Spoiler people got eaten w 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:49.920 shark movie And uh, what about Amityville horror? That's that's it. 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:51.719 I didn't see that in the movies. I read the 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:53.560 book in school for some reason. It was a sign 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:56.120 to us. Ye, but I didn't see the movie because 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.240 it seems stupid to me. Some would say The Shining 0:09:58.280 --> 0:09:59.120 is a horror movie. 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:00.280 It is. 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:06.480 It's a psychological horror, psychological clockwork orange. Yeah, yeah, I 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:11.720 mean it's what was the movie you mentioned with Jack Nicholson. Yeah, 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.200 The Shining. It's a frightening movie, but it's not a 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:16.199 not a threat a slasher film. 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:18.800 But about the axios Siste could be considered a horror. 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:22.040 It's a horror movie, not a slasher movie, though, I 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:22.920 mean it was frightening. 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:28.160 Supposed to be any horror flick if it scares you. 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:31.120 I mean right, I'm talking about slasher films or blood 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:34.040 films like Saw and Texas Chainsaws. So you're not talking 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:35.559 about paranormal activity. 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:38.800 No, like like Blair Witch Project was supposed to be 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:40.160 a horror film. I mean, it was stupid, but it 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:42.280 was supposed to be a horror film. But nobody gets 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:44.920 slashed in it. Nobody's eyes get pulled out of their heads. 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:47.559 So something with blood and guts and gore, that's a 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:48.719 horror film for you. 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:50.360 Yeah, I think I saw. 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:52.480 Not hell Raiser. 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:54.320 It was one of these movies where there was a 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:57.199 cube and then people's heads were explore. Oh uh, Spinners, 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:02.040 what was the first it was? So I guess all 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:02.319 of them. 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:09.000 So a psychological thriller is not necessarily a horror movie. 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:14.679 Scanners, Scanner, Okay, you lost me on Scanners. I think 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:18.280 was for some reason. I don't even remember the movie. 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:20.240 But people's heads would just blow up. 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:21.920 They would be sitting there at a table and their 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:25.040 heads are blow up. I know what you did last summer. 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:30.720 That was Jennifer Love hewittt Is that a horror movie? Yeah, 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:34.360 people got killed in that movie, people got slashed, cut up, 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:36.960 But I think that's less of a horror movie than 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:38.040 The Shining. 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:42.520 The Shining was terrifying at its first time. 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:48.760 Absolutely. I guess it's all relative of the time of 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:51.760 when it was released, because just going back to Jaws now, 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:54.640 you're like, oh, the Shining in Jaws. Those were mid seventies. 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:58.040 Texas Chainsaw Massacre those were mid mid seventies movies. So yeah, 0:11:58.040 --> 0:11:59.920 but some of those movies still hold up. Jaws is 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:04.320 terrifying to people. Yeah, people, people weren't used to it. 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:06.559 So I think, yeah, you're I think you're right. I 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:09.080 don't know, just wondering. Yeah. 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:12.920 So right now, Scary, it's late afternoon on Friday as 0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:19.160 we're recording this. Yeah, originally you wanted to record around noon. Yeah, 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:20.240 And I said, you said, what do you have to 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:24.120 do today? I said, well, yep, old on. I said, well, 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:26.800 I gotta run to the post office and find a 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:31.360 lost package, and I'll do that after the podcast. You're like, well, 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.000 I got to do some stuff I gotta work out. 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:35.400 So why don't you go to the post office now 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:37.800 and then we'll do the podcast when you come back. 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:40.400 Yeah. Is that a mistake, because you are? You in 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:42.480 a worse mood now than you were before. 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:45.880 Yeah, So I will tell you what happened at the 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:47.840 post office right after we come back. 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:53.719 With Scary and Brodie. Here we go, Brodie, something I 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:56.959 already could tell. I could already tell I. Get the 0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:59.000 music ready, we're gonna get what are we doing here? 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:02.760 No, I you might want to get some harm music 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:03.680 ready because I got all. 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:06.800 Oh, okay, I didn't know if you had a rant 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:09.440 or something about it. Well I got a rant. 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:11.400 I mean, have the music ready if you feel it's appropriate. 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:16.120 But so I mailed a package on July thirty first 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:21.400 from my town post office. Now my town, actually my 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:25.559 old town. Old Town Road was big enough that it 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:29.520 had two post offices, the branch up the hill and 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:32.199 the branch down the hill. The branch down the hill 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:35.480 is considered the main post office, right, so everything goes 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:38.040 there anyway, even if you go to the small post office, 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:41.200 they ship it to the big post office. That's that's 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:42.959 the big one. They call it the main one, right, 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:45.440 that's like the big one in town. Right. I don't 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:46.880 ever go to that one. I go to the small 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:50.480 one because that was closer. So I sell something on eBay, 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:56.120 and the guy wanted ground transmit, ground shipping, which is 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:59.080 the cheapest. He chose it. I don't choose the shipping 0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:02.920 he does. I'm like, okay. So I put it in 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:08.000 a small box maybe four by five, sure, and I 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:10.200 put the label on it, and I bring into the 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.440 post office and it goes out and I get a 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:13.560 receipt with a tracking number. 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:13.880 Whatever. 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:18.120 Well that was July thirty first, two days ago, he 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:18.920 messages me. 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:22.480 And and by the way, he. 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:27.320 Speaks Spanish, so all of his messages are in Spanish, 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:30.440 so I have to use Google Translate to translate everything 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:35.480 he says, which, by the way, Google Translate doesn't always 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:41.040 translate properly. Because I put one of his messages in 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:43.960 Google Translate and it made no sense. There were words 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:46.720 that didn't belong Like you know in English, sometimes words 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:50.040 have two meanings. Yeah, yeah, Google Translate was using other 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:52.640 meanings for words where I couldn't understand what he was saying, 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:55.520 so I had to put in another translator. I found 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:58.680 that that was better anyway. I asked him to translate 0:14:58.720 --> 0:14:59.080 to English. 0:14:59.120 --> 0:14:59.680 He refused to. 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:01.640 But he he's the buyer and I want his money, 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:04.520 so I will do the translating. That's what we established 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:07.840 a few months ago. If you want the money, you 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:11.080 do the translating, okay, or whatever we estoblish, it doesn't matter. 0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:15.400 I decided to do the translating. So he says to me, 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:18.120 the package isn't here. I'm still waiting. It's been over 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:20.480 a week. You said i'd have it already. 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:20.920 Now. 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:23.440 I didn't say he'd have it already. eBay said he'd 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:26.640 have it already. eBay says, you know, approximate shipping should 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:29.680 arrive on the fourth whatever. I didn't say it. eBay 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:33.280 says it it's approximate. I said, well, i'll check the tracking. 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:36.520 I checked the tracking. It says still in the town 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:40.560 that I handed her off to. Well, that's weird. Why 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:42.600 is it still last? So I said, I'll go to 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:45.880 the post office on Thursday, which was yesterday, and I'll 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:49.200 see what's going on. So I go there. She pulls 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:51.400 up the tracking number. She says, yeah, says it's still 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:54.120 in town, but it's not here. Our bin is empty, 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:56.040 so it's got to be in the main post office, 0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:58.480 is it. Please don't make me go there. There's no parking. 0:15:58.480 --> 0:15:59.400 Please don't make me go over there. 0:15:59.440 --> 0:15:59.960 It's terrible. 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:01.840 She says, you have no choice. You have to go there. 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:04.600 So when you said let's go do the podcast, I'm like, oh, 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:06.960 I'll go to the other podcast. Yeah, I'll go there. 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:09.440 In the rain, I can't find a parking spot. I 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:12.360 had a walker on the like a block to cut. Well, okay, you. 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:14.080 Can already tell this ends in Doom and Gloom. 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:16.680 Oh, So I go in and they say, you have 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:19.400 to go to window five. But no one's at window five. 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:24.960 They said, I we'll go get Priscilla. She'll be up 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:27.960 right there with you. I said, okay, I'll wait for Priscilla. 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:30.960 I go it to the window and this older woman 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:35.120 comes up and I said, you Priscilla. Yeah, I said, 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:39.200 I was told to wait for you. Okay, great. Uh, 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:41.760 here's the problem. I said, here's my tracking information and 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:44.000 I tell her the story. She takes my two pieces 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:46.800 of paper and she goes in the back. She comes back, 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:52.920 she goes, uh, yeah, your stuff's not here. I said, 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:56.200 I know that. I just did you check the other 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:58.960 post office in town? Yep, I told you that when 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:00.960 I walked up that I went there and they said 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:03.880 it's already been shipped to here. Well, it must be 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:06.639 at the facility. I said, I don't know what that means. 0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:10.520 The facility. Okay, you're talking to me like I work 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:14.040 at the post office. I don't know what the facility means. 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:22.439 The central mail facility. Oh okay, where is that? So 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:23.840 she tells me where it is and I go, okay, 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:27.199 how does that affect me? Well, they have to sort it, 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:30.200 and when they when they check it in. Then they'll 0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:31.600 check it in and they'll show up on your tracking. 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:35.000 I said, okay, but that was that was nine days ago. 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:38.400 Well then you should wait another week. No, I can't 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:42.359 wait another week. I sold something on eBay and the 0:17:42.440 --> 0:17:45.080 guy wants his thing or he wants his money back. Yeah, 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:47.400 so I need to know what the status is. Well, 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:49.200 if we lost it, you didn't pay for insurance, so 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:52.800 you don't get anything. I shouldn't wait a minute. Yeah, 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:55.359 that's not how that works. You don't get to just 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:57.359 lose my stuff and then say I don't get anything. 0:17:57.680 --> 0:17:59.119 I have proof that I gave it to you. You 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:04.600 lost it. So she says, I said, look, this is important. 0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:08.320 What do I do if it was so important? First says, well, 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:12.520 you sent it ground, sir, that's by truck. So I said, yeah, 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:15.639 I know how ground works. It would be silly to 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:18.199 have a plane going down the street. I understand that. 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:20.040 You don't have to talk to me like I don't understand. 0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:23.600 She's well, I don't know. Some people don't know what 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:25.919 ground means. It means it goes by ground. That I 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:29.959 understand what it means. Well, if she goes if it 0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:33.159 was such an important item, why would you send it ground, 0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:36.800 And I said, I really don't need your second guessing me. 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:39.679 Are you saying that ground from the post office is 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:43.000 not secure? Are you bad mouthing your own company? Are 0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:44.840 you saying that if something is good, you shouldn't send 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:46.800 it ground. Is there some reason to believe that if 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:48.480 I send it in a truck it's not going to 0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:48.800 get there? 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:49.560 Is that what you're saying? 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:53.960 And I'm being very calm, I'm even keeled. My voice 0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:58.760 is calm. I'm like, I don't understand, sir. Do you 0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:00.159 want to listen to what I have to say? 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:01.440 Are not wow? 0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:04.160 I said, well, you're you're yelling at me. I'm yelling 0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:06.640 at you because you're not listening. I said, so you're 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:09.960 you're admitting that you're yelling at me. I said, you 0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:13.040 question how I sent it and asked me why didn't 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:13.640 send it air? 0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:17.359 I never said that you should have sent it air. 0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:21.040 I just said you shouldn't have sent it. Well, ma'am, 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:24.800 what's the opposite of ground. If I shouldn't send it ground, 0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:26.640 that means you're telling me to send it air. There's 0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:28.600 only two hours us. The word you didn't sen. 0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:31.520 You didn't use the word air, but you said, why 0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:33.520
