00:00:11,778 --> 00:00:13,113
Hello, and welcome to another episode
2
00:00:13,113 --> 00:00:14,381
of On the Floor with Wayne and Rob.
3
00:00:14,381 --> 00:00:16,549
I'm Wayne Highlander with my adhesives.
4
00:00:16,549 --> 00:00:19,552
I'm Rob Johnson with DB owner training.
5
00:00:19,853 --> 00:00:20,887
Hello, Rob.
6
00:00:20,887 --> 00:00:22,489
Good afternoon. Wayne.
7
00:00:22,489 --> 00:00:24,157
How are you? I'm wonderful.
8
00:00:24,157 --> 00:00:25,658
Good afternoon to you.
9
00:00:25,658 --> 00:00:27,894
You catch any of that World Series?
10
00:00:27,894 --> 00:00:30,897
Not one inning,
11
00:00:32,065 --> 00:00:32,465
Nope.
12
00:00:32,465 --> 00:00:33,633
But I've been hearing about this,
13
00:00:33,633 --> 00:00:35,035
Japanese kid, man.
14
00:00:35,035 --> 00:00:36,736
And, what a breath of fresh air
15
00:00:36,736 --> 00:00:38,538
into the major leagues.
16
00:00:38,538 --> 00:00:40,573
I'm. I'm not a baseball fan.
17
00:00:40,573 --> 00:00:41,641
I'm not.
18
00:00:41,641 --> 00:00:44,310
But
19
00:00:44,310 --> 00:00:46,346
I love the history of it.
20
00:00:46,346 --> 00:00:47,814
I love the tradition of it.
21
00:00:47,814 --> 00:00:48,948
I love going to a game.
22
00:00:48,948 --> 00:00:50,483
I was in Wrigley Field,
23
00:00:50,483 --> 00:00:51,251
this year,
24
00:00:51,251 --> 00:00:53,119
and I just was in heaven,
25
00:00:53,119 --> 00:00:55,221
and, like, I just love this America.
26
00:00:55,221 --> 00:00:56,556
I love it,
27
00:00:56,556 --> 00:00:57,357
and I love playing it
28
00:00:57,357 --> 00:00:58,691
when I was a kid,
29
00:00:58,691 --> 00:00:59,426
but I just don't
30
00:00:59,426 --> 00:01:00,326
have the patience anymore
31
00:01:00,326 --> 00:01:02,162
to sit through nine innings.
32
00:01:02,162 --> 00:01:05,165
But but I'm, I'm
33
00:01:05,398 --> 00:01:06,399
I'm thrilled for this kid.
34
00:01:06,399 --> 00:01:06,866
And the other
35
00:01:06,866 --> 00:01:08,068
the other kid on that team, too.
36
00:01:08,068 --> 00:01:10,103
Man, in this league.
37
00:01:10,103 --> 00:01:11,271
He's Japanese.
38
00:01:11,271 --> 00:01:12,772
Guys on the Dodgers are,
39
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:14,908
unbelievable.
40
00:01:14,908 --> 00:01:16,676
They're incredible.
41
00:01:16,676 --> 00:01:18,445
So I'm happy for them.
42
00:01:18,445 --> 00:01:19,245
And, and,
43
00:01:19,245 --> 00:01:19,846
what it's done
44
00:01:19,846 --> 00:01:22,215
for in Major League Baseball. So.
45
00:01:22,215 --> 00:01:22,882
All right, I, I.
46
00:01:22,882 --> 00:01:26,152
Was, I was up, doing a school in Toronto
47
00:01:26,653 --> 00:01:29,022
on the first day of the World Series.
48
00:01:29,022 --> 00:01:31,724
So, Canada was pretty pumped.
49
00:01:31,724 --> 00:01:33,093
I was pulling for Toronto.
50
00:01:33,093 --> 00:01:35,428
I got a lot. Yeah, up in Toronto.
51
00:01:35,428 --> 00:01:37,764
And I was pulling for Toronto
52
00:01:37,764 --> 00:01:38,898
because they just,
53
00:01:38,898 --> 00:01:41,334
It seemed like all odds
54
00:01:41,334 --> 00:01:42,936
were against them on this one.
55
00:01:42,936 --> 00:01:44,571
Everybody was picking L.A.
56
00:01:44,571 --> 00:01:45,472
just to crush them.
57
00:01:45,472 --> 00:01:48,675
But, yeah, it was a great yeah.
58
00:01:48,741 --> 00:01:49,309
Boy.
59
00:01:49,309 --> 00:01:52,312
I know you don't watch it, but
60
00:01:53,646 --> 00:01:54,814
that was a great series.
61
00:01:54,814 --> 00:01:55,381
The cool thing
62
00:01:55,381 --> 00:01:57,250
a two about that series
63
00:01:57,250 --> 00:02:00,186
that was like a true World Series.
64
00:02:00,186 --> 00:02:02,822
You had the United States? Yeah, Canada.
65
00:02:02,822 --> 00:02:03,623
You had Japan.
66
00:02:03,623 --> 00:02:05,125
There was a lot of people watching.
67
00:02:05,125 --> 00:02:07,160
Yeah, there was a lot of people watch,
68
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:07,760
I can imagine.
69
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:08,595
I don't know what the difference
70
00:02:08,595 --> 00:02:10,230
an hours from here to Japan is,
71
00:02:10,230 --> 00:02:11,064
but I can imagine
72
00:02:11,064 --> 00:02:13,433
a lot of people were up at odd hours
73
00:02:13,433 --> 00:02:14,634
watching that World Series
74
00:02:14,634 --> 00:02:16,369
because those two kids,
75
00:02:16,369 --> 00:02:19,405
and I, you know, I'm for the you know.
76
00:02:19,472 --> 00:02:20,974
I hated the way it ended, though.
77
00:02:22,775 --> 00:02:24,210
I hated the
78
00:02:24,210 --> 00:02:27,213
way World Series game seven.
79
00:02:27,213 --> 00:02:29,482
It should always end on a home run.
80
00:02:29,482 --> 00:02:30,917
Yeah I mean home run.
81
00:02:30,917 --> 00:02:31,951
That's it.
82
00:02:31,951 --> 00:02:34,954
Yeah I just hate seeing them
83
00:02:35,188 --> 00:02:37,223
end on a double play.
84
00:02:37,223 --> 00:02:38,191
Yeah.
85
00:02:38,191 --> 00:02:40,460
You know, it was kind of,
86
00:02:40,460 --> 00:02:41,661
I know the people in Toronto
87
00:02:41,661 --> 00:02:43,763
didn't like it either, but. Yeah.
88
00:02:43,763 --> 00:02:44,964
What are you going to do?
89
00:02:44,964 --> 00:02:47,066
Yeah, but great, great world series.
90
00:02:47,066 --> 00:02:49,536
There you go. All right.
91
00:02:49,536 --> 00:02:50,904
It's going to talk about a couple things
92
00:02:50,904 --> 00:02:51,271
here.
93
00:02:51,271 --> 00:02:51,871
One,
94
00:02:51,871 --> 00:02:52,639

95
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:53,806

00:02:53,806 --> 00:02:56,409

Okay. No.

You stand with your hands in your pocket.
158
00:04:58,865 --> 00:05:00,133
Hands in my.
159
00:05:00,133 --> 00:05:02,201
Look at the shirt I'm wearing.
160
00:05:02,201 --> 00:05:03,436
Yep.
161
00:05:03,436 --> 00:05:05,271
Could I look any worse?
162
00:05:05,271 --> 00:05:07,040
No,
163
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,375
I look like a bum off the street.
164
00:05:09,375 --> 00:05:12,378
Like I'm lost.
165
00:05:12,645 --> 00:05:13,613
Yeah, well,
166
00:05:13,613 --> 00:05:15,448
why would they use that picture?
167
00:05:15,448 --> 00:05:19,652
I have absolutely no idea.
168
00:05:20,153 --> 00:05:21,354
I think somebody said, let's
169
00:05:21,354 --> 00:05:22,989
find the worst picture of Rob.
170
00:05:22,989 --> 00:05:24,357
We can.
171
00:05:24,357 --> 00:05:24,757
Yeah.
172
00:05:24,757 --> 00:05:26,125
I don't want anything.
173
00:05:26,125 --> 00:05:28,861
Hands in his pocket.
174
00:05:28,861 --> 00:05:30,663
Oh, I go, I go, I.
175
00:05:30,663 --> 00:05:31,597
Go out to the bars
176
00:05:31,597 --> 00:05:32,532
and pick up the ladies.
177
00:05:32,532 --> 00:05:33,466
I'm going to show him this picture
178
00:05:33,466 --> 00:05:34,467
and tell him I'm a trainer.
179
00:05:35,935 --> 00:05:38,938
Ha!
180
00:05:40,673 --> 00:05:43,276
I can't believe that picture.
181
00:05:43,276 --> 00:05:44,377
Imagine having a date.
182
00:05:44,377 --> 00:05:47,380
You imagine having a date nowadays
183
00:05:47,380 --> 00:05:48,214
I feel sorry for people
184
00:05:48,214 --> 00:05:50,683
that have to date nowadays.
185
00:05:50,683 --> 00:05:53,653
I think it's, I think opposite.
186
00:05:53,853 --> 00:05:55,254
Really?
187
00:05:55,254 --> 00:05:56,456
Well, in one respect.
188
00:05:56,456 --> 00:05:58,091
You and I were dating.
189
00:05:58,091 --> 00:05:59,092
Yeah, okay.
190
00:05:59,092 --> 00:05:59,859
Not each other.
191
00:05:59,859 --> 00:06:02,261
Let's get this for me. This is you.
192
00:06:02,261 --> 00:06:04,230
Go back 42 years ago.
193
00:06:04,230 --> 00:06:05,331
Yeah, okay.
194
00:06:05,331 --> 00:06:07,200
Actually, 43.
195
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,601
That's when I was dating.
196
00:06:08,601 --> 00:06:10,169
43 years ago.
197
00:06:10,169 --> 00:06:13,172
Was the last time I was dating.
198
00:06:14,507 --> 00:06:16,609
You were all on your own?
199
00:06:16,609 --> 00:06:18,311
Yeah. No help. You were.
200
00:06:18,311 --> 00:06:20,680
You were complete. That's very true.
201
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,148
That's true.
202
00:06:22,148 --> 00:06:24,817
You had nothing to hide behind.
203
00:06:24,817 --> 00:06:26,152
You couldn't go.
204
00:06:26,152 --> 00:06:28,154
Hey, you know what?
205
00:06:28,154 --> 00:06:29,589
There's a picture of me at a wedding,
206
00:06:29,589 --> 00:06:30,523
and I look pretty good.
207
00:06:30,523 --> 00:06:31,991
I'm going to put this up on the,
208
00:06:31,991 --> 00:06:33,793
on the dating app.
209
00:06:33,793 --> 00:06:36,629
And this is what we didn't have that.
210
00:06:36,629 --> 00:06:38,231
Not only that, you could like.
211
00:06:38,231 --> 00:06:39,966
Okay, here's my profile on the internet.
212
00:06:39,966 --> 00:06:42,969
I'm on some dating site, and,
213
00:06:43,436 --> 00:06:45,171
and then if you like it,
214
00:06:45,171 --> 00:06:46,172
you connect with me.
215
00:06:46,172 --> 00:06:46,906
If not, that way
216
00:06:46,906 --> 00:06:48,875
you don't have to get your feelings hurt.
217
00:06:48,875 --> 00:06:49,642
Yeah, yeah.
218
00:06:49,642 --> 00:06:50,410
I mean, you know,
219
00:06:50,410 --> 00:06:51,778
they don't say to your face,
220
00:06:51,778 --> 00:06:53,413
no, I don't think so.
221
00:06:53,413 --> 00:06:55,181
No, we just,
222
00:06:56,482 --> 00:06:57,950
Sandra, would you like to
223
00:06:57,950 --> 00:06:59,252
maybe go out this Friday?
224
00:06:59,252 --> 00:06:59,786
I was thinking
225
00:06:59,786 --> 00:07:01,254
maybe we could go to a movies.
226
00:07:01,254 --> 00:07:03,189
No, I don't think selling.
227
00:07:03,189 --> 00:07:05,124
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, anymore.
228
00:07:05,124 --> 00:07:06,559
I don't know who's on the internet.
229
00:07:06,559 --> 00:07:09,028
You don't get your feelings hurt.
230
00:07:09,028 --> 00:07:10,430
How easy is that?
231
00:07:10,430 --> 00:07:12,932
Yeah, that's pretty nice. Come on.
232
00:07:12,932 --> 00:07:13,733
And then it's not.
233
00:07:13,733 --> 00:07:16,702
Get that? Not the look.
234
00:07:16,702 --> 00:07:18,704
Yeah. Remember that look.
235
00:07:18,704 --> 00:07:20,873
Remember walking all the way across.
236
00:07:20,873 --> 00:07:22,875
Remember that look. Very well.
237
00:07:22,875 --> 00:07:24,844
Of course you like to dance.
238
00:07:24,844 --> 00:07:25,545
I got red. Hair.
239
00:07:25,545 --> 00:07:27,313
They give a little chuckle.
240
00:07:27,313 --> 00:07:29,582
Yeah. No, no.
241
00:07:29,582 --> 00:07:29,749
Yeah.
242
00:07:29,749 --> 00:07:31,451
I tell their friends this guy. What?
243
00:07:31,451 --> 00:07:33,019
No, no.
244
00:07:33,019 --> 00:07:34,587
You imagine that guy thinks.
245
00:07:34,587 --> 00:07:35,555
Go ask your friend.
246
00:07:35,555 --> 00:07:37,490
I'll dance with your friend. Not. Yeah.
247
00:07:37,490 --> 00:07:39,459
Yeah, he's got it made now.
248
00:07:39,459 --> 00:07:42,195
Yeah, I think about it. Oh my gosh.
249
00:07:42,195 --> 00:07:43,396
So much work though.
250
00:07:43,396 --> 00:07:45,731
They just scroll through, right?
251
00:07:45,731 --> 00:07:46,566
Oh, yeah.
252
00:07:46,566 --> 00:07:48,034
She looks cute. Yeah.
253
00:07:48,034 --> 00:07:49,802
I think I'll buzz her.
254
00:07:49,802 --> 00:07:52,004
Oh, I think it's a million times easier.
255
00:07:52,004 --> 00:07:52,839
Actually, I would be a
256
00:07:52,839 --> 00:07:54,240
superstar if I dated today.
257
00:07:57,677 --> 00:07:59,111
Oh I haven't made I
258
00:07:59,111 --> 00:07:59,512
would, I
259
00:07:59,512 --> 00:08:01,247
would just it's a numbers game
260
00:08:01,247 --> 00:08:03,616
I get on every site everybody.
261
00:08:03,616 --> 00:08:04,717
And then, Yeah.
262
00:08:04,717 --> 00:08:05,651
You know what if I, you know,
263
00:08:05,651 --> 00:08:08,020
if I hit five. Yeah.
264
00:08:08,020 --> 00:08:10,089
It's more than I expected.
265
00:08:10,089 --> 00:08:12,792
Yes.
266
00:08:12,792 --> 00:08:14,160
I'd say. Well, no.
267
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:14,794
I'm gonna
268
00:08:14,794 --> 00:08:15,194
I'm going to,
269
00:08:15,194 --> 00:08:16,729
I'll tell you something
270
00:08:16,729 --> 00:08:19,165
of speaking of dating,
271
00:08:19,165 --> 00:08:22,134
when bumps
272
00:08:22,735 --> 00:08:25,004
bam was getting serious with a girl.
273
00:08:25,004 --> 00:08:27,673
Okay, so my wife said
274
00:08:27,673 --> 00:08:30,176
you need to have a talk with him,
275
00:08:30,176 --> 00:08:31,277
you know, and, like.
276
00:08:31,277 --> 00:08:33,212
Yeah, okay, I get it. Yeah.
277
00:08:33,212 --> 00:08:34,447
This is my father thing.
278
00:08:34,447 --> 00:08:36,516
You know,
279
00:08:36,516 --> 00:08:38,251
I got it. Yeah.
280
00:08:38,251 --> 00:08:39,785
So I had a quick talk with him,
281
00:08:39,785 --> 00:08:42,655
you know, wanted me,
282
00:08:42,655 --> 00:08:44,924
the real fast talking, we all.
283
00:08:44,924 --> 00:08:47,493
And he was all like, Oh, yeah.
284
00:08:47,493 --> 00:08:49,228
I don't want to. It's weird. Yeah.
285
00:08:49,228 --> 00:08:50,496
All right. Whatever. Okay,
286
00:08:51,931 --> 00:08:53,399
but I go now.
287
00:08:53,399 --> 00:08:56,168
Here's what I really want to tell you.
288
00:08:56,168 --> 00:08:58,771
If I had to do it over again,
289
00:08:58,771 --> 00:09:01,774
I would be asking now
290
00:09:01,841 --> 00:09:03,743
if I was back in high school, three women
291
00:09:03,743 --> 00:09:05,645
a day.
292
00:09:05,645 --> 00:09:06,445
And I would start
293
00:09:06,445 --> 00:09:08,447
with captain of the cheerleaders.
294
00:09:08,447 --> 00:09:09,282
Okay.
295
00:09:09,282 --> 00:09:10,516
No, because I would be
296
00:09:10,516 --> 00:09:12,919
the captain of the cheerleader team.
297
00:09:12,919 --> 00:09:13,786
If I had to do it again,
298
00:09:13,786 --> 00:09:16,789
I'd be on the cheerleader team.
299
00:09:20,793 --> 00:09:22,862
If I had a kid today, I'd say this.
300
00:09:22,862 --> 00:09:25,865
And then I know this football looks fun,
301
00:09:26,198 --> 00:09:27,433
but you need to join the cheerleader
302
00:09:27,433 --> 00:09:30,436
team. Let me tell you.
303
00:09:31,037 --> 00:09:33,573
I can just see Wayne Highlander.
304
00:09:33,573 --> 00:09:35,141
I like how you're captain
305
00:09:35,141 --> 00:09:36,208
of the cheerleader team.
306
00:09:36,208 --> 00:09:37,243
Well, Pretty athletic.
307
00:09:37,243 --> 00:09:39,979
You can see the stretch. Oh, yeah? Yeah.
308
00:09:39,979 --> 00:09:40,980
You know,
309
00:09:40,980 --> 00:09:44,050
your, your dad did the speech for you
310
00:09:44,083 --> 00:09:45,484
when I was a kid. My.
311
00:09:45,484 --> 00:09:46,352
And I think this is
312
00:09:46,352 --> 00:09:48,187
the reason why this happened.
313
00:09:48,187 --> 00:09:50,056
My mom told me to get
314
00:09:50,056 --> 00:09:50,990
a letter certified.
315
00:09:50,990 --> 00:09:51,924
Okay, go down
316
00:09:51,924 --> 00:09:53,059
and get this letter certified.
317
00:09:53,059 --> 00:09:53,826
The post office.
318
00:09:53,826 --> 00:09:55,061
So I go down to the post office.
319
00:09:55,061 --> 00:09:56,596
I wait in lines, a long line.
320
00:09:56,596 --> 00:09:57,897
There's a lot of people behind me
321
00:09:57,897 --> 00:09:59,165
close to Christmas.
322
00:09:59,165 --> 00:10:00,566
I get to the counter,
323
00:10:00,566 --> 00:10:01,701
he says, what can I do for you?
324
00:10:01,701 --> 00:10:02,535
I said, I need to get
325
00:10:02,535 --> 00:10:03,603
your letter circumcised.
326
00:10:04,770 --> 00:10:06,505
And everybody behind
327
00:10:06,505 --> 00:10:08,240
the counter was rolling laughing.
328
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:09,542
People behind me were rolling
329
00:10:09,542 --> 00:10:11,143
and someone said, what did he say?
330
00:10:11,143 --> 00:10:11,544
And he goes,
331
00:10:11,544 --> 00:10:13,279
he said he wants the letter circumcised.
332
00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:15,414
I think I was 12,
333
00:10:15,414 --> 00:10:17,149
so they were dying. Embarrass me.
334
00:10:17,149 --> 00:10:18,084
And the guy goes, I think,
335
00:10:18,084 --> 00:10:19,852
I think you want to get it certified.
336
00:10:19,852 --> 00:10:21,587
I said, okay, I go to the phone booth.
337
00:10:21,587 --> 00:10:23,623
Phone booth? No. Definitely circumcised.
338
00:10:23,623 --> 00:10:23,923
Yeah.
339
00:10:23,923 --> 00:10:25,958
And I told my mom, I said,
340
00:10:25,958 --> 00:10:26,726
what did you tell me to do
341
00:10:26,726 --> 00:10:27,760
with this letter?
342
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,228
She said, I told you to get it certified.
343
00:10:29,228 --> 00:10:29,829
What is it?
344
00:10:29,829 --> 00:10:32,832
What is circumcised mean?
345
00:10:32,865 --> 00:10:34,533
Then when she told me,
346
00:10:34,533 --> 00:10:35,468
I thought, oh,
347
00:10:35,468 --> 00:10:37,970
oh my God, when is this going to happen?
348
00:10:37,970 --> 00:10:40,473
Oh, I know I can see it.
349
00:10:40,473 --> 00:10:43,376
Well, this is going to be so painful.
350
00:10:43,376 --> 00:10:44,710
I had no idea. So then
351
00:10:46,312 --> 00:10:47,146
she see,
352
00:10:47,146 --> 00:10:47,613
she sent
353
00:10:47,613 --> 00:10:48,280
me down to
354
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,683
to Father Keller at the church,
355
00:10:50,683 --> 00:10:51,751
and I thought I was going to help him.
356
00:10:51,751 --> 00:10:52,818
I was an altar boy at the time,
357
00:10:52,818 --> 00:10:54,320
and I thought he had help me something.
358
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:54,920
And he goes, got money
359
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,255
and went to, you know,
360
00:10:56,255 --> 00:10:58,658
I said, okay, father, what's happened?
361
00:10:58,658 --> 00:11:01,093
And he goes,
362
00:11:01,093 --> 00:11:02,294
well, then he gave me the speech.
363
00:11:02,294 --> 00:11:04,230
He gave me the thing about, you know,
364
00:11:04,230 --> 00:11:05,464
do you ever think about this?
365
00:11:05,464 --> 00:11:06,332
You did,
366
00:11:06,332 --> 00:11:07,199
I told him,
367
00:11:07,199 --> 00:11:07,667
I think about
368
00:11:07,667 --> 00:11:08,601
nothing is what I think
369
00:11:08,601 --> 00:11:10,002
about Father Keller.
370
00:11:10,002 --> 00:11:11,337
I don't think he knows.
371
00:11:11,337 --> 00:11:12,772
Do you ever wonder how the body works?
372
00:11:12,772 --> 00:11:14,440
No, sir. No, father.
373
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:15,408
I don't ever wonder about.
374
00:11:15,408 --> 00:11:16,509
How about nothing?
375
00:11:16,509 --> 00:11:18,210
I get nothing,
376
00:11:18,210 --> 00:11:20,713
I can give you the wine at church.
377
00:11:20,713 --> 00:11:21,914
I can bring you the bill.
378
00:11:21,914 --> 00:11:23,249
I, I'm not going to.
379
00:11:23,249 --> 00:11:23,783
I'm going to talk
380
00:11:23,783 --> 00:11:25,117
about these things with you.
381
00:11:25,117 --> 00:11:26,152
So he told me.
382
00:11:26,152 --> 00:11:28,354
Go home and bring back my brother. John.
383
00:11:28,354 --> 00:11:28,821
I told you,
384
00:11:28,821 --> 00:11:30,089
I'll just lay low me
385
00:11:30,089 --> 00:11:33,092
until things don't go so.
386
00:11:33,192 --> 00:11:35,127
All right. Anyhow, what about training?
387
00:11:40,499 --> 00:11:41,300
There's a lot of schools
388
00:11:41,300 --> 00:11:44,270
coming up next year. Yes.
389
00:11:44,270 --> 00:11:45,838
All right.
390
00:11:45,838 --> 00:11:47,173
I'm going to read them off
391
00:11:47,173 --> 00:11:49,208
and then we'll talk about them.
392
00:11:49,208 --> 00:11:49,608
All right.
393
00:11:49,608 --> 00:11:51,911
Here we go. March 24th.
394
00:11:51,911 --> 00:11:52,812

00:11:52,812 --> 00:11:55,014

We got a brand new training center there.

That could be a nice one, right?
407
00:12:18,571 --> 00:12:18,938
That's right

these are all three days school.
416
00:12:29,181 --> 00:12:30,783

It's September 15th.
438
00:13:12,324 --> 00:13:13,425
If you get there on the 17th,
439
00:13:13,425 --> 00:13:14,160
it's the last day.
440
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:15,795
What the hell's the matter with you?
441
00:13:15,795 --> 00:13:17,429
I told you, I just put I in.
442
00:13:17,429 --> 00:13:18,831
Well, yeah. We.
443
00:13:18,831 --> 00:13:21,200
I, I made plane reservations there
444
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,335
because this schmuck put eyedrops in.
445
00:13:23,335 --> 00:13:25,671
I'm at two days after the class is done.
446
00:13:25,671 --> 00:13:27,606
All right, I'll take my time.
447
00:13:27,606 --> 00:13:29,241
September 22nd.
448
00:13:29,241 --> 00:13:31,477
Manalapan,
449
00:13:31,477 --> 00:13:32,978
new Jersey, new Jersey.
450
00:13:32,978 --> 00:13:34,613
That's September 22nd.
451
00:13:34,613 --> 00:13:36,849
October 13th.
452
00:13:36,849 --> 00:13:39,618
Rancho Cordova.
453
00:13:39,618 --> 00:13:41,387
And October 27th,
454
00:13:41,387 --> 00:13:42,988
the last official
455
00:13:42,988 --> 00:13:45,491
three day school in Nashville, Tennessee.
456
00:13:45,491 --> 00:13:47,593
So I know what you're thinking.
457
00:13:47,593 --> 00:13:48,661
Boy, that looks like a lot
458
00:13:48,661 --> 00:13:50,462
more than we had last year.
459
00:13:50,462 --> 00:13:53,933
Yes, we had to, we had to
460
00:13:53,933 --> 00:13:54,867
add some schools.
461
00:13:56,468 --> 00:13:57,736
What's happening with our
462
00:13:57,736 --> 00:13:59,438
schools is they have become
463
00:13:59,438 --> 00:14:01,941
so popular that,
464
00:14:01,941 --> 00:14:03,008
And the reason
465
00:14:03,008 --> 00:14:04,143
I'm reading these dates out
466
00:14:04,143 --> 00:14:07,046
now, if you are thinking about training,
467
00:14:07,046 --> 00:14:07,813
hop on.
468
00:14:07,813 --> 00:14:10,216
Okay, get on the website, sign up.
469
00:14:10,216 --> 00:14:12,218
Because,
470
00:14:12,218 --> 00:14:13,419
they close these out
471
00:14:13,419 --> 00:14:14,954
once they hit a certain number.
472
00:14:14,954 --> 00:14:18,557
And so rather than turning students away,
473
00:14:19,158 --> 00:14:20,025
we were doing
474
00:14:20,025 --> 00:14:23,696
some impromptu schools, but we decided,
475
00:14:23,696 --> 00:14:25,331
that this way
476
00:14:25,331 --> 00:14:27,766
we could have some official schools
477
00:14:27,766 --> 00:14:30,936
and not have to, turn the overflow away.
478
00:14:31,003 --> 00:14:33,606
So definitely sign up.
479
00:14:33,606 --> 00:14:34,907
And the more people that sign up,
480
00:14:34,907 --> 00:14:36,609
then we'll if we need to,
481
00:14:36,609 --> 00:14:37,810
like we did this year,
482
00:14:37,810 --> 00:14:39,345
we will add schools.
483
00:14:39,345 --> 00:14:41,113
But we did add some schools.
484
00:14:41,113 --> 00:14:43,115
I think we added,
485
00:14:43,115 --> 00:14:45,184
five more schools than we had last year
486
00:14:45,184 --> 00:14:47,319
just because, like I said,
487
00:14:47,319 --> 00:14:49,388
the signups have been crazy.
488
00:14:49,388 --> 00:14:50,322
Schools are always
489
00:14:50,322 --> 00:14:52,558
filled and packed and,
490
00:14:52,558 --> 00:14:54,860
and of course are always a good time.
491
00:14:54,860 --> 00:14:55,895
Well, also,
492
00:14:55,895 --> 00:14:57,062
those schools are on the internet,
493
00:14:57,062 --> 00:15:00,065
on our website and, you know,
494
00:15:00,165 --> 00:15:00,566
you know,
495
00:15:00,566 --> 00:15:02,935
listen, in Nashville
496
00:15:02,935 --> 00:15:04,737
can't be a better time, right?
497
00:15:04,737 --> 00:15:05,471
I mean, you know,
498
00:15:05,471 --> 00:15:06,672
we're the Rancho Cordova.
499
00:15:06,672 --> 00:15:07,473
You're right down the road
500
00:15:07,473 --> 00:15:09,074
from Lake Tahoe,
501
00:15:09,074 --> 00:15:10,009
you know,
502
00:15:10,009 --> 00:15:11,176
maybe an hour and a half drive
503
00:15:11,176 --> 00:15:12,711
to Lake Tahoe from there.
504
00:15:12,711 --> 00:15:14,013
I mean, one of the most beautiful places
505
00:15:14,013 --> 00:15:15,014
in America.
506
00:15:15,014 --> 00:15:17,950
So, the now up in new Jersey,
507
00:15:17,950 --> 00:15:19,919
if you never been in New York City.
508
00:15:19,919 --> 00:15:20,586
Yeah.
509
00:15:20,586 --> 00:15:22,221
Take your bride to a New York City
510
00:15:22,221 --> 00:15:23,355
afterwards for a couple days
511
00:15:23,355 --> 00:15:24,723
and then enjoy the,
512
00:15:24,723 --> 00:15:26,392
you know, you make an event out of it.
513
00:15:26,392 --> 00:15:28,227
So even Palatine, Illinois,
514
00:15:28,227 --> 00:15:29,161
I love Illinois,
515
00:15:29,161 --> 00:15:31,430
I mean, Illinois, I love Chicago,
516
00:15:31,430 --> 00:15:34,133
it is, always gets a bad rap,
517
00:15:34,133 --> 00:15:35,801
but it's such a good foodie town.
518
00:15:35,801 --> 00:15:36,635
And,
519
00:15:36,635 --> 00:15:37,703
take the tour down there
520
00:15:37,703 --> 00:15:39,004
and down to take the,
521
00:15:39,004 --> 00:15:41,106
the water bus down through town.
522
00:15:41,106 --> 00:15:42,041
It's fantastic.
523
00:15:42,041 --> 00:15:44,143
Then go to, go to a baseball game.
524
00:15:44,143 --> 00:15:45,711
Although, what is it?
525
00:15:45,711 --> 00:15:47,179
July. Yeah.
526
00:15:47,179 --> 00:15:49,548
Be a baseball game in July. Right? Yeah.
527
00:15:50,516 --> 00:15:51,684
Yes, yes.
528
00:15:51,684 --> 00:15:53,218
They play baseball in the summer.
529
00:15:53,218 --> 00:15:53,886
Yes. Okay.
530
00:15:53,886 --> 00:15:54,286
There you go.
531
00:15:54,286 --> 00:15:56,355
Yeah, yeah,
532
00:15:56,355 --> 00:15:58,123
yeah.
533
00:15:58,123 --> 00:15:59,391
So I'm pumped.
534
00:15:59,391 --> 00:16:00,559
We've added schools
535
00:16:00,559 --> 00:16:02,962
and I know we'll be adding some more.
536
00:16:02,962 --> 00:16:03,862
You know,
537
00:16:03,862 --> 00:16:05,664
and of course we do those impromptu
538
00:16:05,664 --> 00:16:06,799
type things,
539
00:16:06,799 --> 00:16:07,900
record schools
540
00:16:07,900 --> 00:16:09,702
and gym schools and all sorts of stuff.
541
00:16:09,702 --> 00:16:12,304
So going to be a big year next year.
542
00:16:12,304 --> 00:16:13,672
I'm looking forward to it.
543
00:16:13,672 --> 00:16:15,708
But that picture,
544
00:16:15,708 --> 00:16:17,443
that picture that they put up there.
545
00:16:17,443 --> 00:16:19,778
You know, that's an insult to you.
546
00:16:19,778 --> 00:16:22,781
What if they put me on there?
547
00:16:23,015 --> 00:16:24,783
You know, it really is.
548
00:16:24,783 --> 00:16:26,685
Hey, I shouldn't be on there.
549
00:16:26,685 --> 00:16:27,987
I just.
550
00:16:27,987 --> 00:16:29,054
And you shouldn't be there with your.
551
00:16:29,054 --> 00:16:30,089
Hands. You pick that up.
552
00:16:30,089 --> 00:16:31,423
No, I don't know how many people
553
00:16:31,423 --> 00:16:33,192
are going to know. That's you.
554
00:16:33,192 --> 00:16:34,426
I know it was you.
555
00:16:34,426 --> 00:16:37,062
Yeah. You stand by me. You recognize?
556
00:16:37,062 --> 00:16:37,596
Yeah.
557
00:16:37,596 --> 00:16:38,297
Yeah,
558
00:16:38,297 --> 00:16:40,699
but that picture of me there, like.
559
00:16:41,834 --> 00:16:42,434
Yeah.
560
00:16:42,434 --> 00:16:43,635
Not the best.
561
00:16:43,635 --> 00:16:44,570
Yeah.
562
00:16:44,570 --> 00:16:47,373
Like, man, this has been a long year.
563
00:16:47,373 --> 00:16:48,173
I'm out of here.
564
00:16:48,173 --> 00:16:49,041
That's a picture.
565
00:16:49,041 --> 00:16:49,808
It looks like.
566
00:16:49,808 --> 00:16:50,776
Marking lady's going
567
00:16:50,776 --> 00:16:52,911
next time you run your mouth about me.
568
00:16:52,911 --> 00:16:54,480
Yeah yeah I.
569
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:55,981
Yeah. Right.
570
00:16:55,981 --> 00:16:56,782
Yeah.
571
00:16:56,782 --> 00:16:58,350
You know, I, I,
572
00:16:58,350 --> 00:17:00,753
I thought Eileen and I were okay,
573
00:17:00,753 --> 00:17:01,854
I guess. You know.
574
00:17:01,854 --> 00:17:03,822
Yeah. Yeah,
575
00:17:03,822 --> 00:17:05,190
yeah. Not a great picture.
576
00:17:05,190 --> 00:17:06,225
Not at all.
577
00:17:06,225 --> 00:17:08,827
And look at you just down there working.
578
00:17:08,827 --> 00:17:09,928
Working away. Yeah.
579
00:17:09,928 --> 00:17:11,830
That really is a classic picture of you
580
00:17:11,830 --> 00:17:12,431
and I.
581
00:17:12,431 --> 00:17:14,333
I mean, that really tells the story.
582
00:17:14,333 --> 00:17:15,434
Yeah, I'm sad to say.
583
00:17:15,434 --> 00:17:16,802
He's the rising star
584
00:17:16,802 --> 00:17:19,772
and who's just a slump.
585
00:17:19,772 --> 00:17:22,775
Yeah.
586
00:17:23,075 --> 00:17:24,376
Too much.
587
00:17:24,376 --> 00:17:27,379
Well, we are.
588
00:17:27,613 --> 00:17:29,048
I tell you what to.
589
00:17:29,048 --> 00:17:29,848
Okay,
590
00:17:29,848 --> 00:17:33,185
if you're wondering why attend a school,
591
00:17:33,652 --> 00:17:35,587
you know, I mean, you know,
592
00:17:35,587 --> 00:17:36,688
we always say this.
593
00:17:36,688 --> 00:17:38,123
Why attend a school? But.
594
00:17:39,825 --> 00:17:41,293
Holy mackerel.
595
00:17:41,293 --> 00:17:42,528
Years ago,
596
00:17:42,528 --> 00:17:43,796
when I first started training,
597
00:17:43,796 --> 00:17:46,799
we had these schools were four days.
598
00:17:46,932 --> 00:17:49,201
They were four day schools.
599
00:17:49,201 --> 00:17:51,937
Think of the things that we've added.
600
00:17:51,937 --> 00:17:52,438
Okay.
601
00:17:52,438 --> 00:17:55,841
I mean, just power drive, but it's
602
00:17:56,408 --> 00:17:57,976
not only if we added the power drive,
603
00:17:57,976 --> 00:17:59,445
but now you've got
604
00:17:59,445 --> 00:18:01,914
wire brushes, steel plates,
605
00:18:01,914 --> 00:18:03,715
the diamond plates
606
00:18:03,715 --> 00:18:05,717
and and each one of them.
607
00:18:05,717 --> 00:18:08,153
Right. The weight kits,
608
00:18:08,153 --> 00:18:10,989
and they all have specific uses.
609
00:18:10,989 --> 00:18:11,924
You're going to learn,
610
00:18:11,924 --> 00:18:13,192
you know, the proper use
611
00:18:13,192 --> 00:18:14,793
of all these different thing.
612
00:18:14,793 --> 00:18:16,562
You know, the diamond plates are the.
613
00:18:16,562 --> 00:18:17,129
You look like
614
00:18:17,129 --> 00:18:18,464
you got a question on your face.
615
00:18:18,464 --> 00:18:19,298
The diamond plates
616
00:18:19,298 --> 00:18:21,233
are the ones to take off the aluminum
617
00:18:21,233 --> 00:18:23,836
oxide finish.
618
00:18:23,836 --> 00:18:26,371
Well, I was just going to say, oh,
619
00:18:26,371 --> 00:18:27,439
look at all the sandpaper,
620
00:18:27,439 --> 00:18:28,674
the differences in sandpaper.
621
00:18:28,674 --> 00:18:31,477
Now there's all this is
622
00:18:31,477 --> 00:18:32,978
if you haven't
623
00:18:32,978 --> 00:18:33,846
been familiar with it
624
00:18:33,846 --> 00:18:34,813
in the last couple of years,
625
00:18:34,813 --> 00:18:37,149
even as the game changes
626
00:18:37,149 --> 00:18:38,617
from scratch pattern and
627
00:18:38,617 --> 00:18:39,618
how your floors turn out.
628
00:18:40,619 --> 00:18:43,322
I tell you what, man.
629
00:18:43,322 --> 00:18:43,822
I don't know.
630
00:18:43,822 --> 00:18:44,490
I'll say this
631
00:18:44,490 --> 00:18:46,191
as good as I thought I was back
632
00:18:46,191 --> 00:18:47,126
15 years ago.
633
00:18:47,126 --> 00:18:47,626
20 years,
634
00:18:47,626 --> 00:18:49,361
you know, maybe longer than 20 years.
635
00:18:49,361 --> 00:18:50,996
20 years ago,
636
00:18:50,996 --> 00:18:53,999
25 years ago, doing floors.
637
00:18:53,999 --> 00:18:55,834
And I thought that I am well,
638
00:18:55,834 --> 00:18:57,703
I am top of the ladder.
639
00:18:57,703 --> 00:18:58,437
I guarantee you,
640
00:18:58,437 --> 00:18:58,971
if I go back
641
00:18:58,971 --> 00:19:00,405
and look at those floors
642
00:19:00,405 --> 00:19:02,975
compared to what can be done today,
643
00:19:02,975 --> 00:19:04,710
another person,
644
00:19:04,710 --> 00:19:05,878
I mean,
645
00:19:05,878 --> 00:19:06,979
the technology
646
00:19:06,979 --> 00:19:09,047
is just gotten so much better.
647
00:19:09,047 --> 00:19:10,482
So I don't know
648
00:19:10,482 --> 00:19:12,050
if I ever told this story before,
649
00:19:12,050 --> 00:19:13,986
but everybody should go back
650
00:19:13,986 --> 00:19:15,888
and look at something that they did
651
00:19:15,888 --> 00:19:17,656
20, 25 years ago.
652
00:19:17,656 --> 00:19:20,058
Yeah.
653
00:19:20,058 --> 00:19:21,793
I might have told you this story.
654
00:19:21,793 --> 00:19:23,295
Well,
655
00:19:23,295 --> 00:19:23,729
I'll tell.
656
00:19:23,729 --> 00:19:26,265
You, I can tell the story.
657
00:19:26,265 --> 00:19:27,833
All right. Go ahead.
658
00:19:27,833 --> 00:19:28,700
When, boom
659
00:19:28,700 --> 00:19:31,136
had you go out and help him do a job
660
00:19:31,136 --> 00:19:33,205
and, it was a bunch of holes
661
00:19:33,205 --> 00:19:34,273
they put in for something.
662
00:19:34,273 --> 00:19:35,908
No, you got it wrong already.
663
00:19:35,908 --> 00:19:37,776
You can't tell a story. Not anymore.
664
00:19:37,776 --> 00:19:39,378
Yeah, that ship has sailed.
665
00:19:39,378 --> 00:19:40,279
Okay, so I get a
666
00:19:41,813 --> 00:19:44,149
I get a text from bum one day.
667
00:19:44,149 --> 00:19:47,753
Picture of this, atrocious job.
668
00:19:48,187 --> 00:19:50,222
Just nail holes.
669
00:19:50,222 --> 00:19:51,523
The starter rows.
670
00:19:51,523 --> 00:19:52,291
That was close up.
671
00:19:52,291 --> 00:19:54,860
3 or 4 rusty holes.
672
00:19:54,860 --> 00:19:56,295
They're coming apart.
673
00:19:56,295 --> 00:19:57,729
Big joints, gaps.
674
00:19:57,729 --> 00:20:00,032
Just terrible.
675
00:20:00,032 --> 00:20:01,733
All he does is send me this picture,
676
00:20:01,733 --> 00:20:02,968
I send it.
677
00:20:02,968 --> 00:20:04,102
You didn't say anything.
678
00:20:04,102 --> 00:20:05,504
I sent a note back.
679
00:20:05,504 --> 00:20:07,673
Like, what a hack.
680
00:20:07,673 --> 00:20:09,074
And he said, yeah, Mrs.
681
00:20:09,074 --> 00:20:10,742
San Stefano says hello.
682
00:20:10,742 --> 00:20:11,210
You were here
683
00:20:11,210 --> 00:20:13,679
25 years ago or 20 years ago.
684
00:20:13,679 --> 00:20:14,146
Yeah.
685
00:20:14,146 --> 00:20:16,181
And I was like, you're,
686
00:20:16,181 --> 00:20:18,784
horrible, son, you really are terrible.
687
00:20:18,784 --> 00:20:20,886
Yeah, I said that. You okay?
688
00:20:20,886 --> 00:20:22,120
It's just scary.
689
00:20:22,120 --> 00:20:23,355
And I thought I was doing
690
00:20:23,355 --> 00:20:24,556
a great job back then.
691
00:20:24,556 --> 00:20:26,191
Elmer and everything.
692
00:20:26,191 --> 00:20:29,027
And this will never move the whole deal.
693
00:20:29,027 --> 00:20:29,561
Oh, my.
694
00:20:29,561 --> 00:20:32,364
It was some serious ugliness.
695
00:20:32,364 --> 00:20:33,699
Wow. But there are just,
696
00:20:34,700 --> 00:20:35,534
I look at
697
00:20:35,534 --> 00:20:36,301
just from when
698
00:20:36,301 --> 00:20:37,369
I started training
699
00:20:37,369 --> 00:20:39,338
eight years ago to what we're doing now.
700
00:20:39,338 --> 00:20:39,705
Like I said,
701
00:20:39,705 --> 00:20:41,940
it used to be a four day school,
702
00:20:41,940 --> 00:20:44,176
but with the new equipment,
703
00:20:44,176 --> 00:20:47,212
the new machines, traffic go right out.
704
00:20:47,212 --> 00:20:47,746
Chrome.
705
00:20:47,746 --> 00:20:49,147
I mean,
706
00:20:49,147 --> 00:20:52,150
you know, things are changing quick.
707
00:20:52,284 --> 00:20:52,784
You know, and.
708
00:20:52,784 --> 00:20:54,519
That's the great part of the schools
709
00:20:54,519 --> 00:20:55,654
is just
710
00:20:55,654 --> 00:20:58,624
just keeping up with the new technology.
711
00:20:58,624 --> 00:20:59,891
That's a really good point,
712
00:20:59,891 --> 00:21:01,927
is that even from where you started
713
00:21:01,927 --> 00:21:03,462
eight years ago,
714
00:21:03,462 --> 00:21:06,331
it's no comparison to today
715
00:21:06,331 --> 00:21:06,999
with the tools
716
00:21:06,999 --> 00:21:08,066
that you had to work with it
717
00:21:08,066 --> 00:21:09,368
at Barnard back then.
718
00:21:09,368 --> 00:21:11,169
And what we did in the classes
719
00:21:11,169 --> 00:21:12,904
compared to today
720
00:21:12,904 --> 00:21:13,872
with all the different
721
00:21:13,872 --> 00:21:15,307
is it's night and day.
722
00:21:15,307 --> 00:21:17,175
It's not even close.
723
00:21:17,175 --> 00:21:18,343
We used to just
724
00:21:19,344 --> 00:21:20,646
just scratch the
725
00:21:20,646 --> 00:21:23,649
surface with adhesives
726
00:21:23,982 --> 00:21:25,584
and now adhesives is turned
727
00:21:25,584 --> 00:21:26,952
into their own school.
728
00:21:26,952 --> 00:21:28,453
Yeah,
729
00:21:28,453 --> 00:21:30,555
I think, I think I think of that
730
00:21:30,555 --> 00:21:32,124
think about eight years ago
731
00:21:32,124 --> 00:21:34,326
where adhesives was then.
732
00:21:34,326 --> 00:21:35,961
733
00:21:35,961 --> 00:21:37,929
Compared to where we are now.
734
00:21:37,929 --> 00:21:40,065
Yes. It's light years.
735
00:21:40,065 --> 00:21:41,733
It is crazy.
736
00:21:41,733 --> 00:21:43,602
Yep. Yep.
737
00:21:43,602 --> 00:21:44,069
And it's
738
00:21:44,069 --> 00:21:46,505
and those adhesive schools I'm wondering
739
00:21:46,505 --> 00:21:46,905
you know
740
00:21:46,905 --> 00:21:48,373
that probably should be
741
00:21:48,373 --> 00:21:49,574
the next thing we put up on
742
00:21:49,574 --> 00:21:51,543
the training site is
743
00:21:51,543 --> 00:21:53,045
when they're going to be doing the,
744
00:21:53,045 --> 00:21:54,546
the install schools.
745
00:21:54,546 --> 00:21:57,549
I think that will go up next call.
746
00:21:57,649 --> 00:21:59,051
Sometimes what we try to do
747
00:21:59,051 --> 00:22:02,587
to, keep your eyes open for this is,
748
00:22:03,322 --> 00:22:04,656
you know, kind of piggyback
749
00:22:04,656 --> 00:22:07,192
things like maybe do a 1 or 2 day install
750
00:22:07,192 --> 00:22:08,894
and then the school,
751
00:22:08,894 --> 00:22:10,529
a couple weeks ago,
752
00:22:10,529 --> 00:22:11,763
I was up in Toronto
753
00:22:11,763 --> 00:22:14,266
and we did a two day school,
754
00:22:14,266 --> 00:22:16,702
and then I piggyback that on a third day.
755
00:22:16,702 --> 00:22:18,103
We did a recode school,
756
00:22:18,103 --> 00:22:19,871
and we got another one of those
757
00:22:19,871 --> 00:22:20,372
coming up.
758
00:22:20,372 --> 00:22:23,108
So, you know,
759
00:22:23,108 --> 00:22:24,710
take a look at that because you could
760
00:22:25,877 --> 00:22:26,912
if you not,
761
00:22:26,912 --> 00:22:27,312
you know,
762
00:22:27,312 --> 00:22:28,880
sometimes the guys weren't
763
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,549
showing up for the two day.
764
00:22:30,549 --> 00:22:32,017
They don't have time to do the two day.
765
00:22:32,017 --> 00:22:33,185
But they would come in for that
766
00:22:33,185 --> 00:22:34,353
one day Recode school.
767
00:22:34,353 --> 00:22:36,588
So yeah.
768
00:22:36,588 --> 00:22:38,323
But just way back to,
769
00:22:38,323 --> 00:22:40,025
you're into the woods here.
770
00:22:40,025 --> 00:22:42,361
Your neck of the woods.
771
00:22:42,361 --> 00:22:43,395
I just can't believe
772
00:22:43,395 --> 00:22:45,731
how far adhesive has come
773
00:22:45,731 --> 00:22:46,665
in the last eight years
774
00:22:46,665 --> 00:22:48,567
since I started training. Yeah.
775
00:22:48,567 --> 00:22:49,768
And then since we've added
776
00:22:49,768 --> 00:22:51,937
flow to the, to the lined
777
00:22:51,937 --> 00:22:53,772
up, it's just kind of blown up,
778
00:22:53,772 --> 00:22:56,074
so even more so. So, yeah.
779
00:22:56,074 --> 00:22:57,275
Good stuff.
780
00:22:57,275 --> 00:22:57,676
Yeah.
781
00:22:57,676 --> 00:23:00,679
So are you any,
782
00:23:01,079 --> 00:23:02,581
who are the trainers now
783
00:23:02,581 --> 00:23:04,716
that you you've got yourself.
784
00:23:04,716 --> 00:23:05,650
So we got me.
785
00:23:05,650 --> 00:23:06,918
We got Mike Dittmer.
786
00:23:06,918 --> 00:23:08,220
We got Dean Langston.
787
00:23:08,220 --> 00:23:10,422
He's the captain of the squad.
788
00:23:10,422 --> 00:23:13,425
So me, Dittmer,

00:23:13,525 --> 00:23:16,528

792
00:23:21,266 --> 00:23:22,267

793
00:23:22,267 --> 00:23:25,404

I don't care what anybody says.
797
00:23:31,777 --> 00:23:33,745
We have the strongest training team
798
00:23:33,745 --> 00:23:35,313
in the industry.
799
00:23:35,313 --> 00:23:37,149
I mean, bar none.
800
00:23:37,149 --> 00:23:38,383

So cool.
808
00:23:49,528 --> 00:23:51,196
And, you know, I think the world
809
00:23:51,196 --> 00:23:52,097
anybody knows, Michael
810
00:23:52,097 --> 00:23:53,598
Dittmer knows he's
811
00:23:53,598 --> 00:23:54,966
one of the best guys in this industry,
812
00:23:54,966 --> 00:23:56,168
bar none.
813
00:23:56,168 --> 00:23:59,371
And, and you know, and, of course, he's
814
00:23:59,371 --> 00:24:01,506
the bomb. So cool.
815
00:24:01,506 --> 00:24:02,774
All right.
816
00:24:02,774 --> 00:24:04,943
You said D is the bomb, right?
817
00:24:04,943 --> 00:24:05,510
Yeah.
818
00:24:05,510 --> 00:24:06,611
It is the most lovable
819
00:24:06,611 --> 00:24:07,879
guy in the industry, man. Everywhere.
820
00:24:07,879 --> 00:24:08,547
I sounded like
821
00:24:08,547 --> 00:24:10,582
I thought it sounded like z d
822
00:24:10,582 --> 00:24:11,450
is the bomb.
823
00:24:11,450 --> 00:24:11,883
I was like.
824
00:24:11,883 --> 00:24:12,884
Oh, no, no no, no.
825
00:24:12,884 --> 00:24:15,253
No, D is D is the bomb.
826
00:24:15,253 --> 00:24:16,288
Yes. Yeah.
827
00:24:16,288 --> 00:24:17,389
You know, that's funny.
828
00:24:17,389 --> 00:24:18,824
Absolutely. Yeah. Great.
829
00:24:18,824 --> 00:24:21,560
Captain of our team too. Yep. Yeah. Did.
830
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,362
And you know the addition of Dittmer,
831
00:24:24,362 --> 00:24:27,365
Mike Dittmer is just I mean, that is
832
00:24:27,599 --> 00:24:29,034
he's really leading the way
833
00:24:29,034 --> 00:24:30,435
with our install schools
834
00:24:30,435 --> 00:24:32,204
in those specially install schools
835
00:24:32,204 --> 00:24:34,906
with the herringbone and parquet and.
836
00:24:34,906 --> 00:24:36,408
Yeah, I mean just,
837
00:24:37,609 --> 00:24:40,212
just some of the things that,
838
00:24:40,212 --> 00:24:40,912
people have seen
839
00:24:40,912 --> 00:24:42,414
the pictures of our Christmas school
840
00:24:42,414 --> 00:24:46,551
last year where,
841
00:24:46,551 --> 00:24:48,787
he installed lights inside of the floor
842
00:24:48,787 --> 00:24:50,889
just doing crazy things and,
843
00:24:50,889 --> 00:24:51,122
you know,
844
00:24:51,122 --> 00:24:54,125
telling people, showing people that,
845
00:24:54,159 --> 00:24:55,727
you know, you can do anything.
846
00:24:55,727 --> 00:24:57,062
You know, something about Dittmer.
847
00:24:57,062 --> 00:25:00,065
So what I here's here's why he's so good.
848
00:25:00,565 --> 00:25:01,766
He is one foot
849
00:25:01,766 --> 00:25:02,934
steeped in tradition
850
00:25:02,934 --> 00:25:04,736
with his dad and doing all the work.
851
00:25:04,736 --> 00:25:06,037
I mean, they did some
852
00:25:06,037 --> 00:25:07,305
some of the historical buildings
853
00:25:07,305 --> 00:25:08,507
they've been in and jobs
854
00:25:08,507 --> 00:25:09,975
they've done in old floors.
855
00:25:09,975 --> 00:25:10,675
I mean,
856
00:25:10,675 --> 00:25:11,209
yeah,
857
00:25:11,209 --> 00:25:12,244
he doesn't take a backseat
858
00:25:12,244 --> 00:25:14,479
to anybody in that in that arena.
859
00:25:14,479 --> 00:25:16,181
But his other foot
860
00:25:16,181 --> 00:25:18,016
is in all the new technology,
861
00:25:18,016 --> 00:25:18,884
all the new stuff
862
00:25:18,884 --> 00:25:19,885
that's come down the pike,
863
00:25:19,885 --> 00:25:21,353
all the new tools
864
00:25:21,353 --> 00:25:22,654
he and and
865
00:25:22,654 --> 00:25:23,355
and then you put it,
866
00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:25,156
you had that too, his passion
867
00:25:25,156 --> 00:25:27,292
for the industry in the trade.
868
00:25:27,292 --> 00:25:29,294
And then number four, how humble he is.
869
00:25:30,395 --> 00:25:32,464
I've said it before, I'm his biggest fan.
870
00:25:32,464 --> 00:25:34,032
I mean, you can't be around
871
00:25:34,032 --> 00:25:34,833
Michael Dittmer.
872
00:25:34,833 --> 00:25:35,834
And I think this is
873
00:25:35,834 --> 00:25:37,836
one of the greatest guys in the industry,
874
00:25:37,836 --> 00:25:39,638
and he teaches that way.
875
00:25:39,638 --> 00:25:41,006
And, he's just,
876
00:25:41,006 --> 00:25:42,774
just a delight to be around.
877
00:25:42,774 --> 00:25:45,310
You know what he teaches that way.
878
00:25:45,310 --> 00:25:45,977
And this is,
879
00:25:45,977 --> 00:25:47,746
he he told me this
880
00:25:47,746 --> 00:25:48,113
one day
881
00:25:48,113 --> 00:25:51,116
we were up to supper one night, and,
882
00:25:51,216 --> 00:25:52,884
you know, I was kind of saying.
883
00:25:52,884 --> 00:25:54,085
Yeah, it's amazing.
884
00:25:54,085 --> 00:25:55,220
You know,
885
00:25:55,220 --> 00:25:57,822
the things that you've been teaching and
886
00:25:57,822 --> 00:25:59,090
how awesome is to watching
887
00:25:59,090 --> 00:26:00,825
and everything.
888
00:26:00,825 --> 00:26:03,028
And he goes, don't kid yourself.
889
00:26:03,028 --> 00:26:05,764
He goes, you know, I only got to do this
890
00:26:05,764 --> 00:26:06,798
once in a while.
891
00:26:06,798 --> 00:26:08,900
He goes, I was just like everybody else,
892
00:26:08,900 --> 00:26:10,035
you know,
893
00:26:10,035 --> 00:26:12,103
knock him down, drag him maps and,
894
00:26:12,103 --> 00:26:13,338
move on to the next.
895
00:26:13,338 --> 00:26:13,805
He goes.
896
00:26:13,805 --> 00:26:15,307
I was a regular floor guy.
897
00:26:15,307 --> 00:26:16,942
He goes, I was not,
898
00:26:16,942 --> 00:26:17,309
you know,
899
00:26:17,309 --> 00:26:19,010
I know only one wood floor of the year.
900
00:26:19,010 --> 00:26:19,778
And I always,
901
00:26:19,778 --> 00:26:20,946
you know, we'll get on
902
00:26:20,946 --> 00:26:22,013
and make sure he mentions
903
00:26:22,013 --> 00:26:23,515
that to the class.
904
00:26:23,515 --> 00:26:24,249
He said, but,
905
00:26:24,249 --> 00:26:24,616
you know,
906
00:26:24,616 --> 00:26:26,184
95% of my life
907
00:26:26,184 --> 00:26:28,520
was just like everybody else
908
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,156
go to work every day grinding floors,
909
00:26:32,624 --> 00:26:33,158
three, four
910
00:26:33,158 --> 00:26:34,793
coats, move on to the next one,
911
00:26:34,793 --> 00:26:36,328
get it right.
912
00:26:36,328 --> 00:26:39,164
And I was like, wow, there's where his,
913
00:26:39,164 --> 00:26:40,198
that's his background.
914
00:26:40,198 --> 00:26:41,099
That's what he feels
915
00:26:41,099 --> 00:26:43,034
he really is, is just,
916
00:26:43,034 --> 00:26:46,104
a real floor guy who wasn't all about,
917
00:26:46,104 --> 00:26:49,174
you know, the high profile type jobs.
918
00:26:49,174 --> 00:26:50,208
And so he goes, yeah,
919
00:26:50,208 --> 00:26:51,343
he goes, we had him.
920
00:26:51,343 --> 00:26:52,544
He said, but,
921
00:26:52,544 --> 00:26:52,844
you know,
922
00:26:52,844 --> 00:26:54,279
most of my life was just like
923
00:26:54,279 --> 00:26:55,113
everybody else,
924
00:26:55,113 --> 00:26:56,181
just wanting him out
925
00:26:56,181 --> 00:26:59,184
every day, going to work.
926
00:26:59,351 --> 00:27:01,353
And it was just like any, any reason
927
00:27:01,353 --> 00:27:03,254
he stops that way. Yeah.
928
00:27:03,254 --> 00:27:04,489
And here's the thing, too.
929
00:27:04,489 --> 00:27:05,457
You know, sometimes
930
00:27:05,457 --> 00:27:07,025
when people get a little bit of notoriety
931
00:27:07,025 --> 00:27:07,892
and they've been around
932
00:27:07,892 --> 00:27:08,593
and they get a name
933
00:27:08,593 --> 00:27:09,728
and a reputation,
934
00:27:09,728 --> 00:27:10,962
you know, you might see a little bit
935
00:27:10,962 --> 00:27:12,897
ego come out here and there,
936
00:27:12,897 --> 00:27:14,532
you'll never see it when like
937
00:27:14,532 --> 00:27:15,600
he treats everybody.
938
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,102
If you're your first day on the job,
939
00:27:17,102 --> 00:27:18,570
he'll treat you just like he treats
