71. You've Got Mail...Why? Postal Service Loses, Camping Out For Tickets, Walmart Delivery Failure, Robert Plant, And More

Send us Fan MailA grocery delivery goes sideways when Walmart drops the order at the neighbor’s place, and that everyday annoyance turns into a bigger rant about junk mail, political flyers, and why the Postal Service still runs like it’s 1995. We trade nostalgia about concerts and cereal box toys while we dig into USPS numbers, losses, and what mail service could look like if it finally got rebuilt for a mostly digital world. • Walmart delivery marked complete at the wrong house and what the photo revealed • Using a delivery code option to force a handoff • Tip decisions when the job is done wrong • The neighbor’s dog cameo and the unplanned exercise • Easter decorations still up and what “counts” as seasonal • A music detour into Robert Plant and Alison Krauss • Waiting in line for concert tickets versus modern ticketing • Ticket prices, fees, and why going out costs more than expected • Junk mail overload and spam calls that never stop • Questioning six day USPS delivery in a paperless era • How bulk delivery or fewer delivery days might work • Political mailers, campaign talking points, and why most get trashed • USPS scale and stats on employees, vehicles, facilities, and volume • USPS finances, yearly deficits, and cumulative losses since 2007 • Why first class mail declined and why packages do not fully replace it • The legal mandate to deliver to every address • Kellogg’s bringing toys back to cereal boxes and why that hits nostalgia If anybody ever wants to sit in on this podcast and talk politics with Jody,  please let Amanda know. -find us on Instagram @thisthatandtheother_pod-follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/share/dgPq18Zsy1VxMzze/?mibextid=WC7FNe-look us up on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@thisthatandtheotherpod?_t=8ksSLeCk8A3&_r=1-subscribe on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/@ThisThatAndTheOtherPodca-qg9cn -contact us at [email protected] every Monday wherever you get your podcasts -also listen to Jody and his two buddies at Three Wheels No Direction Podcast every Monday and Thursday https://open.spotify.com/show/6URaZdKPqAOYrWovnrMnES?si=ZIsj6OqdQGywymW_O9H4sQ-Thank you so much for listening If you are interested in the nails or any of Amanda's social media, she talks about here is her link.https://linktr.ee/Manda772
