United Parcel Service

And Tom Jurich, to his credit, for a number of years convinced the major corporations in Louisville that if they wanted to invest in the community, it meant investing in Louisville, not in Louisville and Kentucky.

So your UPS, your Yum!, for many, many years, to the extent they've invested in sports, they've invested in Louisville.

And that really, especially with Yum!, sustained the Louisville program for many, many years.

Papa John's.

Alltech may be the one.

Yeah.

Whereas Louisville has UPS, Yum!, Humana.

You're right.

...

UPS, FedEx, they have weekly surcharges.

The rails, they're about two months behind-

Two months

You got the $60 billion business that's growing, you know, quite, quite fast.

They have the, the, the freight network, which handles more packages than UPS and FedEx.

This is gonna compound it.

As, you know, as Daniel talked about, just the compounding fact of delivery and ship- It builds into the ...

But there's no way.

If the gas stays expensive, how does Amazon deliver everything? And the reason I say this is because every time we got close to Thanksgiving, in October, UPS, FedEx, and USPS are all saying, hey, we're going to raise the rates.

Because gas is expensive.

It always happens to be expensive in October.

So I think what's going to happen is if you're going to tell somebody, I'm going to sell you a phone case for $5.

Yeah.

But the shipping six, people are going to fucking start bailing, right? Because as the gas keeps going up and UPS keeps raising their rates and not just UPS, but all the carriers.

They have to keep the cost.

There's no shot clock.

That UPS guy said, I'd say that was fair play.

Somewhere there's a joke in there, but I like UPS, but about something taking a long time, and the UPS guys agreeing that that was fair.

Nick in Sepulpa has provided an update, everybody.

Remember early in the show, his wife's water broke, and they were on their way to St. Francis, okay, in Tulsa.

Yes, we love that kind of commitment.

Sooner Judy says, best of luck to you both, Nick.

That UPS guy says, ha-ha, it's worth noting.

And last night, we're dealing with FedEx now.

Ever since this company changed its shipping policies, they're making us deal with FedEx instead of UPS, which has worked fine for years and years and years.

Well, if you don't know, FedEx totally sucks.

And FedEx is essentially three different companies.

All the FedEx drivers, they're not employees.

They're W2 contract employees.

FedEx, or UPS drivers are hired employees in union.

FedEx, all their drivers are W2 drivers.

I mean, I don't know.

I called up UPS and they said, oh, there's only one package.

I mean, I opened it up.

It's only half the fucking couch.

You know what? It's all bullshit because then all of a sudden one of the boxes showed up, but now where's the rest of them? And now I've got to contact the goddamn couch store.

to find out what the hell is going on.

But I called UPS.

They're like, no, you got to call the couch store.

One, we got Delta, we got Chick-fil-A, we got everything.

How many number ones? We got UPS.

Coca-Cola.

Coca-Cola.

Yeah, that's right.

It's like UPS.

He wasn't wearing brown though, but he was actually going to a soccer game.

So this will be one of the upcoming picks at Bourbon on the Banks.
