Summary
Ah man. The raccoons got into the freaking crack again. And, yep, it’s making them do some really weird stuff, as you might expect. First of all, they’re raccoons. And to my understanding, them being wild animals, if there were enough of them stone cold sober, we might be in trouble. I don’t know how well raccoons coordinate but you gotta imagine they have teeth. Oh, and not to mention they have opposable thumbs, right? So they can handle weapons or draw strategic diagrams. They might even be able to disarm us, if we don’t use proper form. But now you’re telling me they’re on crack as well – which is still a drug, mind you – a drug which can have certain effects on those who consume it. Being that it’s the raccoons what consumed it, it stands to reason that the critters have become even less predictable than they already were. Not for nothing, but I was having a hard time predicting what they were gonna do anyway. Now with the crack, it’s anybody’s guess. I wish we hadn’t found ourselves in this situation, but it is what it is. Maybe if we had had the crack on our side, or maybe if we were the raccoons, things would’ve turned out different. All I can hope for now is that my grandmother gets a robot to talk to her until she dies, and Teslas get a heads-up display. And maybe…just maybe, if we pray hard enough, some 40 year old guy will go watch a baseball game. God willing.

| 0:00.0 | what would you do with 15 extra hours per week? |
| 0:06.1 | I got a few things in mind. |
| 0:08.8 | Yeah, I'd probably watch the uncut edition of all of the Lord of the Rings movies. |
| 0:18.1 | I think if you add all those up, it's like six hours and like five and four, |
| 0:23.7 | and then you watch the whole credits or whatever, I guess. I think I probably every single week |
| 0:28.3 | would watch the uncut extended editions of the entire series of Lord of the Rings every week. But I can't |
| 0:36.8 | do that right now because I'm spending time with my fast-growing company |
| 0:42.9 | fulfilling orders manually. |
| 0:46.5 | I wish there was something like Ship Station. |
| 0:51.0 | I could use its intelligence-driven platform to bring order management, rate shopping, inventory, and returns, warehouse systems, and comprehensive analytics all together in one place. |
| 1:00.5 | Oh, good news. |
| 1:01.8 | There is. |
| 1:02.7 | It's called Ship Station. |
| 1:04.6 | Heard of it much? |
| 1:05.9 | With Ship Station, everything you need to manage getting orders to customers is in one place. |
| 1:10.5 | Connect over 200 sales channels. |
| 1:13.1 | Sounds like my cable package. |
| 1:15.0 | Instead of five to seven disconnected tools, you got one. |
| 1:19.4 | And ShipStation compares rates across all major global carriers, USPS, UPS, UPS, and FedEx, |
| 1:26.3 | including your own discounted rates if you have them, to find you the best shipping option on every order with discounts up to 90% off. |
| 1:34.3 | 90. |
| 1:36.0 | If you got those negotiated carrier rates, now is the time to speak up or forever hold your piece. |
