1

00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:01,901

Hey, before we get going here,

 

2

00:00:01,901 --> 00:00:03,303

we had the,

 

3

00:00:03,303 --> 00:00:04,070

Jaco wooden

 

4

00:00:04,070 --> 00:00:07,073

Berg on our podcast, recently,

 

5

00:00:07,540 --> 00:00:08,475

and he's doing something

 

6

00:00:08,475 --> 00:00:10,210

pretty cool for, for

 

7

00:00:10,210 --> 00:00:12,445

this is a social thing he's doing,

 

8

00:00:12,445 --> 00:00:14,948

and it's a pay it forward type of thing

 

9

00:00:14,948 --> 00:00:17,250

and what he's asking people to do,

 

10

00:00:17,250 --> 00:00:19,352

and I think this is pretty darn cool.

 

11

00:00:19,352 --> 00:00:22,355

 

 

12

00:00:23,823 --> 00:00:26,793

13

00:00:36,836 --> 00:00:39,839

Yes.

 

14

00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:41,641

Yes.

 

15

00:00:41,641 --> 00:00:43,710

So it's United Woodworker.

 

16

00:00:43,710 --> 00:00:44,177

Excuse me.

 

17

00:00:44,177 --> 00:00:46,646

United wood floor layers.

 

18

00:00:46,646 --> 00:00:49,449

Is the,

 

19

00:00:49,449 --> 00:00:52,452

let's name is Group.

 

20

00:00:52,952 --> 00:00:54,421

United floor

 

21

00:00:54,421 --> 00:00:55,688

layers is the name of his group.

 

22

00:00:55,688 --> 00:00:57,424

If you go to his website,

 

23

00:00:57,424 --> 00:01:00,427

United wood floor, four layers.com.

 

24

00:01:00,427 --> 00:01:02,495

And he's asking everybody to make a,

 

25

00:01:02,495 --> 00:01:04,764

like a one foot square panel.

 

26

00:01:04,764 --> 00:01:05,565

Could be anything.

 

27

00:01:05,565 --> 00:01:07,834

Anything that any kind of wood,

 

28

00:01:07,834 --> 00:01:09,102

any kind of thing that interest

 

29

00:01:09,102 --> 00:01:10,136

you could be

 

30

00:01:10,136 --> 00:01:11,404

something you rent represents

 

31

00:01:11,404 --> 00:01:13,073

a memory of years of,

 

32

00:01:13,073 --> 00:01:16,276

hope, a cultural thing, gratitude,

 

33

00:01:16,609 --> 00:01:17,577

anything that

 

34

00:01:17,577 --> 00:01:18,645

and just a cool pattern,

 

35

00:01:18,645 --> 00:01:21,181

any kind of design whatsoever.

 

36

00:01:21,181 --> 00:01:23,316

And he's going to take all of these

 

37

00:01:23,316 --> 00:01:25,952

and put it into one great big, huge floor

 

38

00:01:25,952 --> 00:01:27,821

from all over the world.

 

39

00:01:27,821 --> 00:01:29,189

So if you have something

 

40

00:01:29,189 --> 00:01:30,123

that you'd like to,

 

41

00:01:30,123 --> 00:01:31,324

you know, just something like

 

42

00:01:32,692 --> 00:01:33,326

means something

 

43

00:01:33,326 --> 00:01:33,860

to you or

 

44

00:01:33,860 --> 00:01:34,928

something cool that you did,

 

45

00:01:34,928 --> 00:01:36,329

it's one foot square

 

46

00:01:36,329 --> 00:01:37,464

somewhere in the world.

 

47

00:01:37,464 --> 00:01:38,264

This is going to

 

48

00:01:38,264 --> 00:01:40,600

this is going to be on a big panel

 

49

00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:41,935

and just use your imagination

 

50

00:01:41,935 --> 00:01:43,403

doesn't have to be perfect.

 

51

00:01:43,403 --> 00:01:44,437

Me okay,

 

52

00:01:44,437 --> 00:01:46,406

who cares if it's not perfect, you know?

 

53

00:01:46,406 --> 00:01:50,076

But, and then, send it into him.

 

54

00:01:50,076 --> 00:01:52,178

So if he wants more information on that,

 

55

00:01:52,178 --> 00:01:54,581

it's, United wood floor layers.

 

56

00:01:54,581 --> 00:01:58,251

You wfll pay it forward, and, we'll.

 

57

00:01:58,384 --> 00:01:59,986

There any more information on it?

 

58

00:01:59,986 --> 00:02:01,287

Okay.

 

59

00:02:01,287 --> 00:02:04,290

There you go.

 

60

00:02:04,591 --> 00:02:05,992

United wood slave.

 

61

00:02:05,992 --> 00:02:06,526

Excuse me.

 

62

00:02:06,526 --> 00:02:09,529

United wood floor layers.com.

 

63

00:02:09,696 --> 00:02:10,263

And again

 

64

00:02:10,263 --> 00:02:11,965

this is going to be from floor

 

65

00:02:11,965 --> 00:02:14,267

four layers all across the world.

 

66

00:02:14,267 --> 00:02:16,536

You're just going to make one panel.

 

67

00:02:16,536 --> 00:02:18,438

He's going to join them all together.

 

68

00:02:18,438 --> 00:02:19,072

And then he's

 

69

00:02:19,072 --> 00:02:20,507

going to make one nice panel.

 

70

00:02:20,507 --> 00:02:21,274

And you'll

 

71

00:02:21,274 --> 00:02:22,742

you'll be represented in there.

 

72

00:02:22,742 --> 00:02:23,710

So I think it's kind of cool.

 

73

00:02:26,312 --> 00:02:27,514

Yeah.

 

74

00:02:27,514 --> 00:02:28,414

Yeah I

 

75

00:02:28,414 --> 00:02:29,249

think I might be wrong

 

76

00:02:29,249 --> 00:02:30,016

on the measurements there.

 

77

00:02:30,016 --> 00:02:31,384

That's way you got to go to the panel.

 

78

00:02:31,384 --> 00:02:32,252

It was in millimeters.

 

79

00:02:32,252 --> 00:02:35,255

I don't I could be completely wrong.

 

80

00:02:35,855 --> 00:02:36,122

Yeah.

 

81

00:02:36,122 --> 00:02:40,293

But go to his website and check it out.

 

82

00:02:40,460 --> 00:02:41,828

He's got a lot of information in there.

 

83

00:02:41,828 --> 00:02:43,730

It's pretty darn cool.

 

84

00:02:43,730 --> 00:02:46,733

Yeah, it's

 

85

00:02:46,766 --> 00:02:49,769

kind of kind of slick.

 

86

00:02:50,236 --> 00:02:52,605

Yeah, yeah.

 

87

00:02:52,605 --> 00:02:54,474

So there you go.

 

88

00:02:54,474 --> 00:02:55,675

And it's, type of thing

 

89

00:02:55,675 --> 00:02:58,678

You know it's like I've said it before,

 

114

00:04:26,799 --> 00:04:27,667

team in 1980s

 

120

00:04:36,776 --> 00:04:39,345

with that lost to the Russians

 

121

00:04:39,345 --> 00:04:40,813

and,

 

122

00:04:40,813 --> 00:04:42,081

the Russian coach years

 

123

00:04:42,081 --> 00:04:43,082

later, 20 years later,

 

124

00:04:43,082 --> 00:04:44,984

was being interviewed by somebody

 

125

00:04:44,984 --> 00:04:47,353

and he said,

 

126

00:04:47,353 --> 00:04:48,688

you know, he lost to the Americans.

 

127

00:04:48,688 --> 00:04:49,522

It must have been soul

 

128

00:04:49,522 --> 00:04:50,490

crushing for you guys.

 

129

00:04:50,490 --> 00:04:51,858

130

00:04:51,858 --> 00:04:53,092

big Russian team

 

132

00:04:54,227 --> 00:04:55,261

and the other names on it.

 

133

00:04:55,261 --> 00:04:56,062

And he lost to this

 

134

00:04:56,062 --> 00:04:57,797

American upstart team.

 

135

00:04:57,797 --> 00:05:00,700

And, the Russian coach said, you know,

 

136

00:05:00,700 --> 00:05:01,801

it was once

 

137

00:05:01,801 --> 00:05:02,835

an 18 year old boy,

 

138

00:05:02,835 --> 00:05:03,836

just by happenstance,

 

139

00:05:03,836 --> 00:05:04,737

had run into Sophia

 

140

00:05:04,737 --> 00:05:07,340

Loren for you young kids.

 

141

00:05:07,340 --> 00:05:09,175

Look up Sophia Loren.

 

142

00:05:09,175 --> 00:05:10,843

She's one of the most beautiful women

 

143

00:05:10,843 --> 00:05:11,911

in the world.

 

144

00:05:11,911 --> 00:05:14,447

And,

 

145

00:05:14,447 --> 00:05:16,582

and she gave him a kiss on the cheek.

 

146

00:05:16,582 --> 00:05:17,884

And for the rest of his life,

 

147

00:05:17,884 --> 00:05:19,752

this young boy would talk about the time

 

148

00:05:19,752 --> 00:05:21,688

that he got kissed by Sophia Loren

 

149

00:05:23,089 --> 00:05:24,157

as Sophia Loren.

 

150

00:05:24,157 --> 00:05:27,160

If you remember that 18 year old boy.

 

151

00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,229

So you winning the award, like.

 

152

00:05:30,229 --> 00:05:31,864

I know it's a big deal to you, Robert,

 

153

00:05:31,864 --> 00:05:32,699

I just

 

154

00:05:32,699 --> 00:05:34,067

I don't even know if I have any more room

 

155

00:05:34,067 --> 00:05:36,669

in the trophy cases.

 

156

00:05:36,669 --> 00:05:39,672

The cases.

 

157

00:05:40,373 --> 00:05:42,342

But just move Judy stuff out of the way,

 

158

00:05:42,342 --> 00:05:44,477

159

00:05:44,477 --> 00:05:45,678

It's amazing.

 

183

00:06:25,351 --> 00:06:26,285

Amazing magazine.

 

184

00:06:26,285 --> 00:06:27,153

I hope you get it.

 

185

00:06:27,153 --> 00:06:28,154

If not, certainly

 

186

00:06:28,154 --> 00:06:28,588

you want to,

 

187

00:06:28,588 --> 00:06:31,791

reach out and get yourself one

 

188

00:06:32,425 --> 00:06:33,359

or subscribe to it.

 

189

00:06:33,359 --> 00:06:34,894

I mean, all right, Rob,

 

190

00:06:34,894 --> 00:06:36,195

so you want to talk about this?

 

191

00:06:36,195 --> 00:06:38,498

We do it every year.

 

192

00:06:38,498 --> 00:06:41,501

Go.

 

193

00:06:48,441 --> 00:06:49,142

Are you styling

 

194

00:06:49,142 --> 00:06:52,111

already?

 

195

00:06:55,314 --> 00:06:58,317

Yeah.

 

196

00:06:58,317 --> 00:07:00,019

Well,

 

197

00:07:00,019 --> 00:07:03,022

what are you doing?

 

198

00:07:07,226 --> 00:07:10,229

Oh, for God's sakes.

 

199

00:07:10,229 --> 00:07:13,232

 

 

200

00:07:14,934 --> 00:07:15,668

Well, no, you're

 

201

00:07:15,668 --> 00:07:16,569

the one that wanted to do it.

 

202

00:07:16,569 --> 00:07:18,871

You're all hyped up on it, and I said go.

 

203

00:07:18,871 --> 00:07:21,874

And you got nothing.

 

204

00:07:23,009 --> 00:07:24,444

Oh, my God.

 

205

00:07:24,444 --> 00:07:25,878

Next time you tell me you out,

 

206

00:07:25,878 --> 00:07:27,547

you want to do something,

 

207

00:07:27,547 --> 00:07:29,282

you got to be able to go, man.

 

208

00:07:32,785 --> 00:07:34,987

Oh,

 

209

00:07:34,987 --> 00:07:37,190

unbelievable.

 

210

00:07:37,190 --> 00:07:38,991

You did even once.

 

211

00:07:38,991 --> 00:07:39,892

You link it on Islay

 

212

00:07:39,892 --> 00:07:42,895

now because you're not prepared.

 

213

00:07:45,364 --> 00:07:47,133

I didn't have a conversation with Eileen.

 

214

00:07:47,133 --> 00:07:49,068

You told me today.

 

215

00:07:49,068 --> 00:07:52,071

Let's do one on one for the industry.

 

216

00:07:52,138 --> 00:07:53,706

I said, okay, I'll follow your lead.

 

217

00:07:53,706 --> 00:07:56,709

Did I not say that?

 

218

00:07:59,612 --> 00:08:01,414

I'm turned.

 

219

00:08:01,414 --> 00:08:04,383

Okay.

 

220

00:08:10,456 --> 00:08:13,459

Okay.

 

221

00:08:14,694 --> 00:08:17,697

Gosh, I, I.

 

222

00:08:21,434 --> 00:08:24,437

I'd say it.

 

223

00:08:29,108 --> 00:08:31,444

Yeah,

 

224

00:08:31,444 --> 00:08:34,447

yeah.

 

225

00:08:37,884 --> 00:08:40,887

Yeah.

 

226

00:08:48,127 --> 00:08:50,463

Why does it surprise you?

 

227

00:08:50,463 --> 00:08:53,432

Prices went up.

 

228

00:09:02,542 --> 00:09:05,044

Okay.

 

229

00:09:05,044 --> 00:09:08,014

What about gas prices?

 

230

00:09:22,862 --> 00:09:24,230

You

 

231

00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:26,232

okay? Oh, well.

 

232

00:09:26,232 --> 00:09:29,235

Well, well.

 

233

00:09:30,603 --> 00:09:33,606

The the look at the cost of gas went up.

 

234

00:09:35,107 --> 00:09:38,110

Went through the roof.

 

235

00:09:40,146 --> 00:09:41,681

Okay,

 

236

00:09:41,681 --> 00:09:42,949

okay.

 

237

00:09:42,949 --> 00:09:45,952

All right.

 

238

00:09:46,652 --> 00:09:49,622

Okay.

 

239

00:09:50,523 --> 00:09:51,090

Yeah.

 

240

00:09:51,090 --> 00:09:54,093

Yes.

 

241

00:10:00,566 --> 00:10:03,569

Okay.

 

242

00:10:04,503 --> 00:10:05,037

What the hell's

 

243

00:10:05,037 --> 00:10:08,040

the matter with you?

 

244

00:10:08,541 --> 00:10:11,544

Do you have glasses?

 

245

00:10:15,114 --> 00:10:18,117

I get that, I get that.

 

246

00:10:18,384 --> 00:10:19,552

Oh. Well.

 

247

00:10:19,552 --> 00:10:21,153

Okay. Okay.

 

248

00:10:21,153 --> 00:10:24,156

Okay, then.

 

249

00:10:25,691 --> 00:10:26,092

All right.

 

250

00:10:26,092 --> 00:10:27,026

What's the biggest threat

 

251

00:10:27,026 --> 00:10:28,060

to the windfall industry?

 

252

00:10:29,061 --> 00:10:30,863

This was interesting.

 

253

00:10:30,863 --> 00:10:34,000

Tariffs and help came up number one.

 

254

00:10:34,934 --> 00:10:36,869

Vinyl continued investment

 

255

00:10:36,869 --> 00:10:38,571

and certainty came up.

 

256

00:10:38,571 --> 00:10:41,574

Lack of innovation.

 

257

00:10:42,074 --> 00:10:42,541

Like I mean it.

 

258

00:10:42,541 --> 00:10:43,743

Well, I can kind of

 

259

00:10:43,743 --> 00:10:46,412

I can get can be play into it as well.

 

260

00:10:46,412 --> 00:10:49,382

Consumer education.

 

261

00:10:49,682 --> 00:10:52,685

 

 

262

00:10:54,220 --> 00:10:55,321

Consumer education

 

263

00:10:55,321 --> 00:10:57,356

and their lack of understanding

 

264

00:10:57,356 --> 00:10:58,991

LVP flooring,

 

265

00:10:58,991 --> 00:11:01,394

plastics, sometimes toxic plastic

 

266

00:11:01,394 --> 00:11:04,430

that I've seen go into many for many

 

267

00:11:04,430 --> 00:11:05,965

$6 million homes.

 

268

00:11:05,965 --> 00:11:07,233

Marketing has convinced

 

269

00:11:07,233 --> 00:11:08,467

uneducated consumers

 

270

00:11:08,467 --> 00:11:10,302

that an LVP floor is 100%

 

271

00:11:10,302 --> 00:11:11,804

maintenance free,

 

272

00:11:11,804 --> 00:11:14,640

waterproof, and will last forever.

 

273

00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,643

But, yeah,

 

274

00:11:18,944 --> 00:11:21,947

yeah.

 

275

00:11:23,683 --> 00:11:25,651

Well, there's no question

 

276

00:11:25,651 --> 00:11:28,654

that LVP is is,

 

277

00:11:29,355 --> 00:11:29,922

on the rise.

 

278

00:11:29,922 --> 00:11:30,623

It is taking a toll

 

279

00:11:30,623 --> 00:11:32,892

on the flooring industry, for sure.

 

280

00:11:32,892 --> 00:11:35,594

The biggest threat,

 

281

00:11:35,594 --> 00:11:38,597

31% say the political climate,

 

282

00:11:39,565 --> 00:11:41,367

25% say the economy,

 

283

00:11:42,301 --> 00:11:45,304

19% say competing floor coverings

 

284

00:11:46,105 --> 00:11:49,175

and, 6% competing Asian wood

 

285

00:11:49,175 --> 00:11:52,645

flooring manufacturers, 19% is other.

 

286

00:11:53,579 --> 00:11:55,414

So

 

287

00:11:55,414 --> 00:11:58,417

31% political climate

 

288

00:11:58,651 --> 00:12:01,654

is the biggest threat to the to the,

 

289

00:12:02,054 --> 00:12:05,057

their business seems high to me.

 

290

00:12:07,893 --> 00:12:09,228

I mean, I can see the economy

 

291

00:12:09,228 --> 00:12:12,231

and stuff like that, but,

 

292

00:12:12,331 --> 00:12:15,334

whatever.

 

293

00:12:17,570 --> 00:12:20,573

Okay, well.

 

294

00:12:39,125 --> 00:12:39,592

Where did you see

 

295

00:12:39,592 --> 00:12:42,595

that at?

 

296

00:12:48,367 --> 00:12:49,802

Yeah, I yeah.

 

297

00:12:49,802 --> 00:12:50,269

What do you say?

 

298

00:12:50,269 --> 00:12:51,203

It'll be a thing of the past

 

299

00:12:51,203 --> 00:12:54,206

in seven years.

 

300

00:12:55,107 --> 00:12:55,541

That's.

 

301

00:12:55,541 --> 00:12:58,544

You're you're.

 

302

00:12:59,178 --> 00:13:02,181

Yeah.

 

303

00:13:06,051 --> 00:13:06,385

Okay.

 

304

00:13:06,385 --> 00:13:07,353

But, yeah, you're quoting

 

305

00:13:07,353 --> 00:13:10,322

one guy's opinion.

 

306

00:13:12,658 --> 00:13:15,528

I know, but.

 

307

00:13:15,528 --> 00:13:16,395

I understand,

 

308

00:13:16,395 --> 00:13:19,398

but when you said that, you said.

 

309

00:13:20,332 --> 00:13:21,934

You said it like though.

 

310

00:13:21,934 --> 00:13:24,937

Like.

 

311

00:13:25,871 --> 00:13:28,240

I'm giving the award back.

 

312

00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,509

I'm going to box the award back up

 

313

00:13:30,509 --> 00:13:31,343

and send it back to them

 

314

00:13:31,343 --> 00:13:32,311

and say we don't deserve it.

 

315

00:13:38,083 --> 00:13:39,151

Yeah.

 

316

00:13:39,151 --> 00:13:41,554

Okay.

 

317

00:13:41,554 --> 00:13:43,322

All right.

 

318

00:13:43,322 --> 00:13:44,290

Okay, so this one,

 

319

00:13:44,290 --> 00:13:46,392

this is opinion of one guy.

 

320

00:13:46,392 --> 00:13:48,394

It is saying that it'll be gone

 

321

00:13:48,394 --> 00:13:49,662

in seven years.

 

322

00:13:49,662 --> 00:13:52,531

That's absolutely not true.

 

323

00:13:52,531 --> 00:13:55,534

There's no way there's.

 

324

00:13:55,968 --> 00:13:58,971

Yeah.

 

325

00:14:01,073 --> 00:14:03,042

I'd say he's been around that ten years.

 

326

00:14:03,042 --> 00:14:05,477

Pretty strong.

 

327

00:14:05,477 --> 00:14:06,812

Yeah.

 

328

00:14:06,812 --> 00:14:09,815

This isn't the.

 

329

00:14:45,117 --> 00:14:48,120

Yeah.

 

330

00:14:55,928 --> 00:14:57,263

So let me see what

 

331

00:14:57,263 --> 00:15:00,266

I can understand.

 

332

00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,001

Let me see if I can understand

 

333

00:15:02,001 --> 00:15:03,302

this logic.

 

334

00:15:03,302 --> 00:15:05,604

You went to a distributor

 

335

00:15:05,604 --> 00:15:07,640

and you said, like, in no time at all.

 

336

00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,176

It's like 80% of it turned into LVP yet.

 

337

00:15:11,176 --> 00:15:13,846

Yet that you think is an indication

 

338

00:15:13,846 --> 00:15:14,680

that it's going to go away

 

339

00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,683

in seven years.

 

340

00:15:17,950 --> 00:15:18,951

As the craziest logic

 

341

00:15:18,951 --> 00:15:21,954

I've ever heard in my life.

 

342

00:15:22,621 --> 00:15:25,624

Yeah, but see, I know

 

343

00:15:25,958 --> 00:15:27,993

well, of course I've heard of Pergau,

 

344

00:15:27,993 --> 00:15:28,894

but this is a

 

345

00:15:30,195 --> 00:15:31,196

this is

 

346

00:15:31,196 --> 00:15:31,997

is is

 

347

00:15:31,997 --> 00:15:35,000

this a different animal than Pergau?

 

348

00:15:39,805 --> 00:15:40,973

You still think there is flat?

 

349

00:15:40,973 --> 00:15:44,376

You an Earth flat guy?

 

350

00:15:44,543 --> 00:15:47,546

The Earth is flat.

 

351

00:16:03,395 --> 00:16:05,397

Yeah,

 

352

00:16:05,397 --> 00:16:08,400

it did for a minute.

 

353

00:16:08,634 --> 00:16:10,369

Yeah, yeah.

 

354

00:16:10,369 --> 00:16:11,537

They had a day.

 

355

00:16:11,537 --> 00:16:14,540

 

 

356

00:16:17,343 --> 00:16:17,676

Yeah.

 

357

00:16:17,676 --> 00:16:20,679

Yeah yeah.

 

358

00:16:27,686 --> 00:16:28,620

Okay.

 

359

00:16:28,620 --> 00:16:31,623

What.

 

360

00:16:50,909 --> 00:16:53,912

What what what.

 

361

00:16:54,847 --> 00:16:57,850

What do you think will.

 

362

00:16:58,951 --> 00:16:59,485

What do you think

 

363

00:16:59,485 --> 00:17:02,488

will kill LVP.

 

364

00:17:36,622 --> 00:17:37,423

Yeah.

 

365

00:17:37,423 --> 00:17:37,823

As well

 

366

00:17:37,823 --> 00:17:38,924

I think that eventually

 

367

00:17:38,924 --> 00:17:41,393

there will be enough consumer awareness,

 

368

00:17:41,393 --> 00:17:42,795

about the,

 

369

00:17:42,795 --> 00:17:44,830

long term effects on the, on

 

370

00:17:44,830 --> 00:17:45,764

what do you do with this stuff.

 

371

00:17:45,764 --> 00:17:48,133

It doesn't break down in the landfill.

 

372

00:17:48,133 --> 00:17:49,635

Like like what does.

 

373

00:17:49,635 --> 00:17:50,202

I think that's

 

374

00:17:50,202 --> 00:17:51,703

where it's going to come from.

 

375

00:17:51,703 --> 00:17:54,706

And probably,

 

376

00:18:02,881 --> 00:18:05,884

Yeah.

 

377

00:18:13,559 --> 00:18:16,562

Yeah.

 

378

00:18:21,166 --> 00:18:21,500

Yeah.

 

379

00:18:21,500 --> 00:18:23,102

I think that's what's going to be

 

380

00:18:23,102 --> 00:18:24,903

there's going to be the one that

 

381

00:18:24,903 --> 00:18:25,671

changes things.

 

382

00:18:40,419 --> 00:18:43,422

80.

 

383

00:18:45,424 --> 00:18:46,225

Now a bunch of them

 

384

00:18:46,225 --> 00:18:48,193

of course we all have.

 

385

00:18:48,193 --> 00:18:51,196

Yes.

 

386

00:18:59,605 --> 00:19:02,608

Yeah.

 

387

00:19:15,254 --> 00:19:18,257

Yeah.

 

388

00:19:54,259 --> 00:19:55,527

I think the American consumer

 

389

00:19:55,527 --> 00:19:57,829

has like a split personality,

 

390

00:19:57,829 --> 00:20:01,099

you know, like like, I really do.

 

391

00:20:01,099 --> 00:20:02,467

I mean, you have one hand.

 

392

00:20:02,467 --> 00:20:05,470

You have so much concern on green.

 

393

00:20:05,737 --> 00:20:06,838

We're talking about

 

394

00:20:06,838 --> 00:20:07,839

even the water bottles

 

395

00:20:07,839 --> 00:20:08,840

now, the peat fires

 

396

00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,275

and all these different things,

 

397

00:20:10,275 --> 00:20:11,343

how important it is.

 

398

00:20:11,343 --> 00:20:13,545

And, and and the environment

 

399

00:20:13,545 --> 00:20:15,080

and and climate change

 

400

00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:15,814

and whether you believe it

 

401

00:20:15,814 --> 00:20:17,716

or not, whatever.

 

402

00:20:17,716 --> 00:20:18,717

All these different things

 

403

00:20:18,717 --> 00:20:21,053

that are so top of mind right now

 

404

00:20:21,053 --> 00:20:21,987

and everybody's, you know,

 

405

00:20:21,987 --> 00:20:23,622

everybody's talking about it,

 

406

00:20:23,622 --> 00:20:24,990

get rid of the straws,

 

407

00:20:24,990 --> 00:20:26,825

the plastic straws.

 

408

00:20:26,825 --> 00:20:28,427

Yet

 

409

00:20:28,427 --> 00:20:29,328

we're putting in millions

 

410

00:20:29,328 --> 00:20:30,262

and millions of square foot

 

411

00:20:30,262 --> 00:20:32,364

of this pollution in homes.

 

412

00:20:32,364 --> 00:20:34,766

I don't I just don't get it.

 

413

00:20:34,766 --> 00:20:35,467

I don't get it.

 

414

00:20:37,002 --> 00:20:39,438

The.

 

415

00:20:39,438 --> 00:20:41,940

Yeah yeah yeah.

 

416

00:20:41,940 --> 00:20:44,343

And then you want.

 

417

00:20:44,343 --> 00:20:47,312

Yeah.

 

418

00:20:50,983 --> 00:20:53,585

So I just wonder what

 

419

00:20:53,585 --> 00:20:54,519

I don't know man.

 

420

00:20:54,519 --> 00:20:56,154

The American consumer

 

421

00:20:56,154 --> 00:20:58,323

I think it just comes down to education.

 

422

00:20:58,323 --> 00:20:59,424

And you know what

 

423

00:20:59,424 --> 00:21:03,562

the PFA needs to start educating more on.

 

424

00:21:03,595 --> 00:21:06,131

And somebody and some of these maybe

 

425

00:21:06,131 --> 00:21:08,967

big mill, wood manufacturers

 

426

00:21:08,967 --> 00:21:10,636

need to start putting their side of it.

 

427

00:21:10,636 --> 00:21:11,703

It's like you're in a fight,

 

428

00:21:11,703 --> 00:21:12,804

but you're getting your butt kicked

 

429

00:21:12,804 --> 00:21:13,905

for 15 rounds a year.

 

430

00:21:13,905 --> 00:21:15,607

When are you going to fight back?

 

431

00:21:15,607 --> 00:21:17,175

You know what I mean?

 

432

00:21:17,175 --> 00:21:20,078

What?

 

433

00:21:20,078 --> 00:21:20,412

Yeah.

 

434

00:21:20,412 --> 00:21:23,015

You you you

 

435

00:21:23,015 --> 00:21:25,050

you got a, you got a great argument.

 

436

00:21:25,050 --> 00:21:26,618

You got a great product.

 

437

00:21:26,618 --> 00:21:27,452

There's a love story

 

438

00:21:27,452 --> 00:21:28,720

with with wood floors.

 

439

00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,758

I mean, there's so many reasons

 

440

00:21:32,758 --> 00:21:33,525

why we all know the reason.

 

441

00:21:33,525 --> 00:21:34,793

We have to talk about the reason why.

 

442

00:21:40,899 --> 00:21:43,902

Which one?

 

443

00:21:48,473 --> 00:21:51,476

I don't remember it.

 

444

00:22:02,421 --> 00:22:05,324

Yeah.

 

445

00:22:05,324 --> 00:22:08,327

Okay.

 

446

00:22:09,861 --> 00:22:12,864

Okay.

 

447

00:22:16,868 --> 00:22:18,170

Okay.

 

448

00:22:18,170 --> 00:22:21,173

Somebody had a foot fetish.

 

449

00:22:36,088 --> 00:22:37,756

Okay.

 

450

00:22:37,756 --> 00:22:40,759

Yeah.

 

451

00:22:45,163 --> 00:22:48,166

Yeah.

 

452

00:22:50,969 --> 00:22:53,739

No.

 

453

00:22:53,739 --> 00:22:56,742

Yep.

 

454

00:23:02,647 --> 00:23:03,148

Well,

 

455

00:23:03,148 --> 00:23:04,383

I think they need to start

 

456

00:23:04,383 --> 00:23:05,717

fighting back again

 

457

00:23:05,717 --> 00:23:09,121

and, in certain third to, you know,

 

458

00:23:09,721 --> 00:23:11,356

also do it for the, for the people

 

459

00:23:11,356 --> 00:23:12,357

that support the industry,

 

460

00:23:12,357 --> 00:23:13,492

the wood for flooring,

 

461

00:23:13,492 --> 00:23:15,293

craftsmen and women.

 

462

00:23:15,293 --> 00:23:18,296

You know, let's let's go.

 

463

00:23:18,363 --> 00:23:18,797

So.

 

464

00:23:18,797 --> 00:23:21,800

Okay.

 

465

00:23:23,268 --> 00:23:26,271

No.

 

466

00:24:22,093 --> 00:24:25,096

I mean, yeah.

 

467

00:24:53,558 --> 00:24:56,561

Yeah.

 

468

00:25:19,351 --> 00:25:22,354

I had a flashback of.

 

469

00:25:23,522 --> 00:25:25,257

I had a flashback of like

 

470

00:25:25,257 --> 00:25:25,557

like a,

 

471

00:25:25,557 --> 00:25:27,659

just like in my head

 

472

00:25:27,659 --> 00:25:28,026

like you

 

473

00:25:28,026 --> 00:25:28,894

sitting at a bar

 

474

00:25:28,894 --> 00:25:31,897

telling 4 or 5 people this

 

475

00:25:32,531 --> 00:25:33,732

and then you sitting there

 

476

00:25:33,732 --> 00:25:34,833

and telling your grandkids

 

477

00:25:34,833 --> 00:25:36,167

this, your great great grandkids

 

478

00:25:36,167 --> 00:25:37,369

this later in life

 

479

00:25:37,369 --> 00:25:40,372

when you got suspenders on.

 

480

00:25:40,872 --> 00:25:43,875

You did.

 

481

00:25:44,175 --> 00:25:45,043

Everybody can.

 

482

00:25:46,444 --> 00:25:47,045

All right.

 

483

00:25:47,045 --> 00:25:48,046

Types of wood flooring.

 

484

00:25:48,046 --> 00:25:49,748

So do you see that one?

 

485

00:25:49,748 --> 00:25:50,815

42%.

 

486

00:25:50,815 --> 00:25:53,251

Refinish engineered

 

487

00:25:53,251 --> 00:25:55,353

32%. Unfinished. Solid.

 

488

00:25:55,353 --> 00:25:56,054

I still, that's

 

489

00:25:56,054 --> 00:25:57,022

still a respectable number.

 

490

00:25:57,022 --> 00:26:00,025

They're 15% refinish solid

 

491

00:26:01,526 --> 00:26:02,327

11%.

 

492

00:26:02,327 --> 00:26:04,996

And, unfinished engineered.

 

493

00:26:04,996 --> 00:26:06,031

I guess I'm not surprised

 

494

00:26:06,031 --> 00:26:07,499

with any of those numbers.

 

495

00:26:07,499 --> 00:26:10,502

You.

 

496

00:26:13,838 --> 00:26:16,675

Yeah, I think so too.

 

497

00:26:16,675 --> 00:26:19,144

All right.

 

498

00:26:19,144 --> 00:26:20,845

Well, let's see here.

 

499

00:26:20,845 --> 00:26:23,848

 

 

500

00:26:24,549 --> 00:26:25,617

Characterize your outlook

 

501

00:26:25,617 --> 00:26:28,620

for the wood flooring industry this year.

 

502

00:26:28,853 --> 00:26:30,622

6% of the people think

 

503

00:26:30,622 --> 00:26:32,824

it's dramatically better, 50%

 

504

00:26:32,824 --> 00:26:35,493

somewhat better, 13% stay.

 

505

00:26:35,493 --> 00:26:37,462

It stays the same.

 

506

00:26:37,462 --> 00:26:39,631

25% somewhat worse,

 

507

00:26:39,631 --> 00:26:42,634

6% say dramatically worse.

 

508

00:26:43,101 --> 00:26:44,603

Some of the reasons

 

509

00:26:44,603 --> 00:26:45,971

builder business is very slow.

 

510

00:26:45,971 --> 00:26:46,538

Wood flooring

 

511

00:26:46,538 --> 00:26:48,473

has been used to a great extent

 

512

00:26:48,473 --> 00:26:50,375

in single home construction,

 

513

00:26:50,375 --> 00:26:51,109

uncertainty

 

514

00:26:51,109 --> 00:26:52,911

and the kind of economic trends

 

515

00:26:52,911 --> 00:26:55,013

leading to less spending.

 

516

00:26:55,013 --> 00:26:56,047

And,

 

517

00:26:56,047 --> 00:26:58,283

we're hoping for a better year in 2025.

 

518

00:26:58,283 --> 00:27:00,552

But there was a major erosion of margins

 

519

00:27:00,552 --> 00:27:01,753

and thus profit dollars.

 

520

00:27:04,189 --> 00:27:06,458

All right.

 

521

00:27:06,458 --> 00:27:07,025

No surprise.

 

522

00:27:07,025 --> 00:27:10,028

I guess there.

 

523

00:27:22,307 --> 00:27:22,540

Well,

 

524

00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:25,543

I said the same thing.

 

525

00:27:28,913 --> 00:27:31,683

A long time,

 

526

00:27:31,683 --> 00:27:34,686

right?

 

527

00:27:41,993 --> 00:27:44,996

Yeah.

 

528

00:27:50,201 --> 00:27:52,103

No, no,

 

529

00:27:52,103 --> 00:27:53,505

I don't that,

 

530

00:27:53,505 --> 00:27:55,040

it's never a concern to me

 

531

00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:55,907

who's in the office

 

532

00:27:55,907 --> 00:27:58,910

as far as business goes,

 

533

00:28:00,178 --> 00:28:03,181

it doesn't affect me.

 

534

00:28:06,584 --> 00:28:09,587

Yeah.

 

535

00:28:16,127 --> 00:28:19,130

I was at some economic forum.

 

536

00:28:22,233 --> 00:28:23,101

And one of the world's

 

537

00:28:23,101 --> 00:28:26,104

biggest.

 

538

00:28:27,338 --> 00:28:30,241

I used to, I'm at a bar.

 

539

00:28:30,241 --> 00:28:32,477

And

 

540

00:28:32,477 --> 00:28:34,079

one of the world's

 

541

00:28:34,079 --> 00:28:36,014

leading economists was there,

 

542

00:28:36,014 --> 00:28:38,583

and he put up a graph of, Democrats

 

543

00:28:38,583 --> 00:28:41,586

and Republicans and the economy.

 

544

00:28:42,020 --> 00:28:45,256

And there is zero difference of good

 

545

00:28:45,256 --> 00:28:48,259

economy, bad economy, of who's in office.

 

546

00:28:49,394 --> 00:28:50,261

It's all the same.

 

547

00:28:50,261 --> 00:28:51,796

Doesn't matter.

 

548

00:28:51,796 --> 00:28:54,032

So and I, we don't talk politics,

 

549

00:28:54,032 --> 00:28:56,234

I don't care. And so I just my point is,

 

550

00:28:57,168 --> 00:29:00,171

no matter who's in office,

 

551

00:29:01,439 --> 00:29:02,774

it didn't affect

 

552

00:29:02,774 --> 00:29:03,641

dramatically affect

 

553

00:29:03,641 --> 00:29:04,676

the economy one way

 

554

00:29:04,676 --> 00:29:06,845

or the other versus the other party.

 

555

00:29:06,845 --> 00:29:09,614

And it's like a 100 year line.

 

556

00:29:09,614 --> 00:29:11,883

So I don't I don't

 

557

00:29:11,883 --> 00:29:13,218

worry about who's in office.

 

558

00:29:13,218 --> 00:29:14,586

I don't that never affected me.

 

559

00:29:14,586 --> 00:29:16,921

I never give two to, you know,

 

560

00:29:16,921 --> 00:29:18,590

and you know, why?

 

561

00:29:18,590 --> 00:29:20,925

What am I?

 

562

00:29:20,925 --> 00:29:24,496

One of my lessons in life is control

 

563

00:29:24,496 --> 00:29:26,231

what you can control

 

564

00:29:26,231 --> 00:29:27,465

and what other you control.

 

565

00:29:27,465 --> 00:29:29,267

Don't worry about, you can't control it.

 

566

00:29:29,267 --> 00:29:32,270

So why put any energy to it

 

567

00:29:32,403 --> 00:29:35,406

right?

 

568

00:29:36,574 --> 00:29:37,041

Well, there's

 

569

00:29:37,041 --> 00:29:40,044

no question.

 

570

00:30:11,676 --> 00:30:12,510

Yeah I agree

 

571

00:30:12,510 --> 00:30:15,513

with you on that.

 

572

00:30:24,489 --> 00:30:27,325

Yeah.

 

573

00:30:27,325 --> 00:30:30,328

Yeah.

 

574

00:30:33,531 --> 00:30:36,534

Yep.

 

575

00:30:37,769 --> 00:30:39,571

Somebody knows a big

 

576

00:30:39,571 --> 00:30:40,905

something for a lot of people.

 

577

00:30:40,905 --> 00:30:43,875

Yeah.

 

578

00:30:51,316 --> 00:30:53,751

Yeah.

 

579

00:30:53,751 --> 00:30:55,887

Yeah.

 

580

00:30:55,887 --> 00:30:57,288

Yeah.

00:30:57,288 --> 00:30:57,755

All right.

 

582

00:30:57,755 --> 00:30:58,823

I'm going to scroll

 

583

00:30:58,823 --> 00:30:59,724

down here to something

 

584

00:30:59,724 --> 00:31:00,225

I think

 

585

00:31:00,225 --> 00:31:03,094

that might be a little bit interesting.

 

586

00:31:03,094 --> 00:31:04,195

What which social media

 

587

00:31:04,195 --> 00:31:06,931

do you use for your business? 81%

 

588

00:31:08,733 --> 00:31:11,002

Facebook,

 

589

00:31:11,002 --> 00:31:11,936

52%.

 

590

00:31:11,936 --> 00:31:14,038

591

00:31:14,038 --> 00:31:15,874

YouTube, 15%.

 

592

00:31:15,874 --> 00:31:17,275

LinkedIn 15%.

 

593

00:31:17,275 --> 00:31:19,043

I don't use social media

 

594

00:31:19,043 --> 00:31:20,578

595

00:31:20,578 --> 00:31:21,913

and Pinterest

 

596

00:31:21,913 --> 00:31:24,616

and X and all the other stuff.

So still 81% is, Facebook.

 

598

00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,289

I'm surprised

 

599

00:31:31,289 --> 00:31:34,259

that actually only 19% is YouTube,

 

600

00:31:35,226 --> 00:31:36,694

607

00:31:57,782 --> 00:32:00,218

how do you spend your marketing budget?

00:32:00,218 --> 00:32:00,985

2%.

 

609

00:32:00,985 --> 00:32:03,421

00:32:51,502 --> 00:32:52,670

We'll start wrapping this up

 

625

00:32:52,670 --> 00:32:54,005
