00:00:12,612 --> 00:00:13,046

of On the Floor

 

3

00:00:13,046 --> 00:00:14,280

with Wayne and Rob and Wayne. Hi.

 

4

00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:15,582

They are director of sales for Bonnie.

00:00:15,582 --> 00:00:16,616

He serves.

00:00:16,616 --> 00:00:20,220

I'm Rob Johnson from the Ebola training.

 

7

00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:21,921

How are we doing, Rob?

 

8

00:00:21,921 --> 00:00:22,789

Really good, buddy.

 

9

00:00:22,789 --> 00:00:23,723

How you doing?

 

10

00:00:23,723 --> 00:00:24,057

Good.

 

11

00:00:24,057 --> 00:00:26,559

We made it through most of the holidays.

 

12

00:00:26,559 --> 00:00:29,229

Yeah, we're

 

13

00:00:29,229 --> 00:00:31,197

coming up on New Year's now.

 

14

00:00:31,197 --> 00:00:33,166

How was your Christmas? 2024.

 

15

00:00:33,166 --> 00:00:35,535

It was fantastic.

 

16

00:00:35,535 --> 00:00:37,971

Yep, Yep.

 

17

00:00:37,971 --> 00:00:39,139

nice.

 

18

00:00:39,139 --> 00:00:40,640

went over to a friend's house

 

19

00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,844

and played some games and that was.

 

20

00:00:44,844 --> 00:00:46,513

Yeah, it was fun.

 

21

00:00:46,513 --> 00:00:48,214

What game,

 

22

00:00:48,214 --> 00:00:49,582

Actually, this was

 

23

00:00:49,582 --> 00:00:51,351

I don't know what you call this game,

 

24

00:00:51,351 --> 00:00:53,153

but they did it last year

 

25

00:00:53,153 --> 00:00:54,387

and they did it this year to win.

 

26

00:00:54,387 --> 00:00:56,322

It is it is a crack up.

 

27

00:00:56,322 --> 00:01:00,727

So you, you, you get a cellophane

 

28

00:01:00,827 --> 00:01:02,629

ball of cellophane

 

29

00:01:02,629 --> 00:01:04,197

and you start

 

30

00:01:04,197 --> 00:01:05,532

you start rolling it into a ball.

 

31

00:01:05,532 --> 00:01:06,332

Okay.

 

32

00:01:06,332 --> 00:01:07,901

Then maybe you put a $10 bill in it.

 

33

00:01:07,901 --> 00:01:09,402

You keep rolling, rolling.

 

34

00:01:09,402 --> 00:01:11,404

They make you put lottery tickets

 

35

00:01:11,404 --> 00:01:12,906

and you keep rolling, rolling.

 

36

00:01:12,906 --> 00:01:14,274

And then you put different things in it

 

37

00:01:14,274 --> 00:01:15,708

and then you break the cellophane.

 

38

00:01:15,708 --> 00:01:16,309

Every so often,

 

39

00:01:16,309 --> 00:01:18,178

you break this whole thing, okay?

 

40

00:01:18,178 --> 00:01:19,646

And then you put other gifts in there.

 

41

00:01:19,646 --> 00:01:22,315

Price might be a candy bar, whatever.

 

42

00:01:22,382 --> 00:01:24,217

And you just keep rolling it, rolling it.

 

43

00:01:24,217 --> 00:01:25,318

Then you break the cellophane

 

44

00:01:25,318 --> 00:01:26,352

and you roll it again

 

45

00:01:26,352 --> 00:01:27,654

until you get a ball

 

46

00:01:27,654 --> 00:01:32,225

about a bigger than a basketball game.

 

47

00:01:32,325 --> 00:01:35,328

Then you get a paradise.

 

48

00:01:35,562 --> 00:01:37,430

All right, now your turn to roll.

 

49

00:01:37,430 --> 00:01:41,367

Okay, So you roll until someone gets a

 

50

00:01:41,401 --> 00:01:41,801

I'm sorry,

 

51

00:01:41,801 --> 00:01:44,904

your turn to try to unwrap the ball

 

52

00:01:44,904 --> 00:01:46,639

and get as many, many prizes as you can.

 

53

00:01:46,639 --> 00:01:47,941

Okay.

 

54

00:01:47,941 --> 00:01:48,842

While the other person

 

55

00:01:48,842 --> 00:01:50,376

is rolling the dice

 

56

00:01:50,376 --> 00:01:52,345

and and when they get a pair,

 

57

00:01:52,345 --> 00:01:53,413

you have to stop.

 

58

00:01:53,413 --> 00:01:54,447

Like if they get two sixes

 

59

00:01:54,447 --> 00:01:55,882

or two fives or pear ones,

 

60

00:01:55,882 --> 00:01:56,649

whatever you got.

 

61

00:01:56,649 --> 00:01:58,518

So you roll as far as you can

 

62

00:01:58,518 --> 00:02:00,153

until that person rolls a pair,

 

63

00:02:00,153 --> 00:02:02,155

then you stop those, the next person

 

64

00:02:02,155 --> 00:02:03,189

and they go, they,

 

65

00:02:03,189 --> 00:02:04,424

they try to unroll it

 

66

00:02:04,424 --> 00:02:05,758

and get as many presence as they can

 

67

00:02:05,758 --> 00:02:07,760

while the person rolls a dice.

 

68

00:02:07,827 --> 00:02:11,030

And it is it's a crack up, man.

 

69

00:02:11,030 --> 00:02:12,532

It is really pretty funny.

 

70

00:02:12,532 --> 00:02:13,967

Yeah. So it was fun.

 

71

00:02:13,967 --> 00:02:15,401

Yeah, it's pretty cool.

 

72

00:02:15,401 --> 00:02:17,003

That sounds like a good one.

 

73

00:02:17,003 --> 00:02:18,238

Yeah, it was really fun.

 

74

00:02:18,238 --> 00:02:19,305

And then watch the kids

 

75

00:02:19,305 --> 00:02:21,074

get so excited that they know you

 

76

00:02:21,074 --> 00:02:21,741

because you can start

 

77

00:02:21,741 --> 00:02:23,309

seeing the prizes coming up.

 

78

00:02:23,309 --> 00:02:24,277

You know what I mean?

 

79

00:02:24,277 --> 00:02:25,378

And you all, you know,

 

80

00:02:25,378 --> 00:02:26,880

And then the cool thing, my break

 

81

00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:27,614

and you can't get to it.

 

82

00:02:27,614 --> 00:02:28,982

You got to find a new you got to,

 

83

00:02:28,982 --> 00:02:31,451

you know, unfurl the new cellophane,

 

84

00:02:31,451 --> 00:02:32,585

you know what I mean?

 

85

00:02:32,585 --> 00:02:34,120

And then while the person

 

86

00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,722

is obviously rolling the dice

 

87

00:02:35,722 --> 00:02:37,157

to get you to stop, you know what I mean?

 

88

00:02:37,157 --> 00:02:38,525

So they get their turn.

 

89

00:02:38,525 --> 00:02:40,059

So it was pretty fun.

 

90

00:02:40,059 --> 00:02:42,829

So that could be adults and kids together

 

91

00:02:42,829 --> 00:02:46,499

94

00:02:50,270 --> 00:02:50,603

or something.

 

95

00:02:50,603 --> 00:02:52,005

They gave candy bar away to somebody

 

96

00:02:52,005 --> 00:02:54,340

I did get your postcard,

 

106

00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,963

I think it should just be a picture of me

 

114

00:03:29,242 --> 00:03:30,810

I was thinking of.

 

115

00:03:30,810 --> 00:03:31,945

144

00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:29,902

That's great.

 

145

00:04:29,902 --> 00:04:31,504

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

 

146

00:04:31,504 --> 00:04:34,774

I told you about one of my relatives that

 

147

00:04:34,874 --> 00:04:37,110

see her mom's Irish,

 

148

00:04:37,110 --> 00:04:38,311

Your grandmother's Irish.

 

149

00:04:38,311 --> 00:04:41,314

You know, she's Irish.

 

150

00:04:41,514 --> 00:04:42,915

And so she named,

 

151

00:04:42,915 --> 00:04:45,018

she had like five or seven kids

 

152

00:04:45,018 --> 00:04:46,786

and she named them the most Irish kids

 

153

00:04:46,786 --> 00:04:48,321

you've ever met in your life.

 

154

00:04:48,321 --> 00:04:50,690

I mean, I mean, like the

 

155

00:04:50,690 --> 00:04:55,428

like the most deep down Irish names.

 

156

00:04:55,495 --> 00:04:58,298

We all knew that

 

157

00:04:58,298 --> 00:04:59,932

her real father was Hispanic.

 

158

00:04:59,932 --> 00:05:01,701

Okay?

 

159

00:05:01,701 --> 00:05:02,635

That that who

 

160

00:05:02,635 --> 00:05:03,436

who she thought was her

 

161

00:05:03,436 --> 00:05:04,971

father wasn't her father.

 

162

00:05:04,971 --> 00:05:07,373

Everybody in the family knew it but her.

 

163

00:05:07,373 --> 00:05:08,841

And she didn't find that out

 

164

00:05:08,841 --> 00:05:10,043

until she was like

 

165

00:05:10,043 --> 00:05:12,245

35 years old or something like that

 

166

00:05:12,245 --> 00:05:13,713

after like the whole house.

 

167

00:05:13,713 --> 00:05:16,182

Irish, Irish, Irish, Irish, Irish.

 

168

00:05:16,182 --> 00:05:17,984

And then when she named the new kid

 

169

00:05:17,984 --> 00:05:18,751

another Irish name,

 

170

00:05:18,751 --> 00:05:19,552

maybe because of

 

171

00:05:19,552 --> 00:05:21,921

us, years later,

 

172

00:05:21,921 --> 00:05:23,323

we got a summons here to tell her.

 

173

00:05:23,323 --> 00:05:25,958

So I've got to tell her

 

174

00:05:25,958 --> 00:05:26,693

so.

 

175

00:05:26,693 --> 00:05:27,193

But they're,

 

176

00:05:27,193 --> 00:05:30,063

they're great, great, beautiful kids.

 

177

00:05:30,063 --> 00:05:30,596

All right.

 

178

00:05:30,596 --> 00:05:32,031

So today, you

 

179

00:05:32,031 --> 00:05:32,999

you hit me with something

 

180

00:05:32,999 --> 00:05:36,002

that kind of surprised me.

 

181

00:05:36,135 --> 00:05:38,871

A fresh idea.

 

182

00:05:38,871 --> 00:05:42,108

No,

 

183

00:05:42,175 --> 00:05:43,609

no,

 

184

00:05:43,609 --> 00:05:46,212

you you wanted to go reach back

 

185

00:05:46,212 --> 00:05:47,380

a little bit and talk about something

 

186

00:05:47,380 --> 00:05:49,015

we just recently talked about.

 

187

00:05:49,015 --> 00:05:50,149

And I was surprised by that.

 

188

00:05:50,149 --> 00:05:51,351

I thought we covered it very well.

 

189

00:05:51,351 --> 00:05:54,454

But you had some thoughts on that Yeah.

 

190

00:05:54,454 --> 00:05:55,855

Well, at the

 

191

00:05:55,855 --> 00:05:56,122

you know,

 

192

00:05:56,122 --> 00:05:57,390

we did our annual Christmas

 

193

00:05:57,390 --> 00:05:59,959

score a couple of weeks ago.

 

194

00:06:00,026 --> 00:06:00,526

Yeah.

 

195

00:06:00,526 --> 00:06:01,561

As a couple of weeks ago.

 

196

00:06:01,561 --> 00:06:03,196

Yeah, a couple of weeks ago.

 

197

00:06:03,196 --> 00:06:05,098

And I had a couple of guys

 

198

00:06:05,098 --> 00:06:06,165

talk to me,

 

199

00:06:06,165 --> 00:06:08,701

They were listen to the podcast

 

200

00:06:08,701 --> 00:06:10,236

and they were like,

 

201

00:06:10,236 --> 00:06:14,507

okay, could you explain Clearasil again?

 

202

00:06:14,574 --> 00:06:15,942

It was kind of confusing

 

203

00:06:15,942 --> 00:06:16,843

on the podcast

 

204

00:06:16,843 --> 00:06:18,111

when you were trying to explain it,

 

205

00:06:18,111 --> 00:06:24,550

and I thought, Wow, I thought we

 

206

00:06:24,650 --> 00:06:25,551

just in case

 

207

00:06:25,551 --> 00:06:28,554

anybody else was doing the same thing.

 

208

00:06:28,588 --> 00:06:29,722

Well, we're just going to hit

 

209

00:06:29,722 --> 00:06:31,557

Clearasil one more time,

 

210

00:06:31,557 --> 00:06:32,692

and I think this time

 

211

00:06:32,692 --> 00:06:33,326

I can make it

 

212

00:06:33,326 --> 00:06:39,065

even more confusing for people,

 

213

00:06:39,165 --> 00:06:43,169

I will send

 

214

00:06:43,236 --> 00:06:47,039

I will send a picture that they can

 

215

00:06:47,140 --> 00:06:48,007

they can put up

 

216

00:06:48,007 --> 00:06:51,210

and it's a pretty good picture of

 

217

00:06:51,310 --> 00:06:53,713

it shows intense seal, clear seal and

 

218

00:06:53,713 --> 00:06:56,816

natural seal. And it really

 

219

00:06:56,883 --> 00:06:57,650

has a good

 

220

00:06:57,650 --> 00:06:58,418

look where you

 

221

00:06:58,418 --> 00:06:59,652

can really see the difference

 

222

00:06:59,652 --> 00:07:01,487

between the three.

 

223

00:07:01,487 --> 00:07:04,424

Well, you know, I guess

 

224

00:07:04,424 --> 00:07:07,427

I shouldn't be surprised

 

225

00:07:07,493 --> 00:07:08,761

if you're, you know, you know,

 

226

00:07:08,761 --> 00:07:11,063

some people are not good at emails,

 

227

00:07:11,063 --> 00:07:12,231

You know, they don't come across.

 

228

00:07:12,231 --> 00:07:13,332

No, no, no. Not you.

 

229

00:07:13,332 --> 00:07:14,834

No, no, no, no.

 

230

00:07:14,834 --> 00:07:17,103

Goodness, no.

 

231

00:07:17,103 --> 00:07:18,905

But some people are not good at emails,

 

232

00:07:18,905 --> 00:07:19,439

you know what I mean?

 

233

00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:20,039

Like,

 

234

00:07:20,039 --> 00:07:23,976

and sometimes the tone of an email is

 

235

00:07:24,076 --> 00:07:26,646

is completely different than the intent.

 

236

00:07:26,646 --> 00:07:28,648

And when you pick up the phone and call

 

237

00:07:28,648 --> 00:07:30,783

somebody is sometimes

 

238

00:07:30,783 --> 00:07:31,451

way better

 

239

00:07:31,451 --> 00:07:34,454

than the way it comes across in an email.

 

240

00:07:34,687 --> 00:07:35,688

You know what I mean?

 

241

00:07:35,688 --> 00:07:36,122

Yeah.

 

242

00:07:36,122 --> 00:07:39,392

Emails tend to be I think emails

 

243

00:07:39,492 --> 00:07:41,093

tend to be a little on the negative

 

244

00:07:41,093 --> 00:07:44,497

side sometimes. Yeah,

 

245

00:07:44,597 --> 00:07:46,466

yeah.

 

246

00:07:46,466 --> 00:07:48,668

Some people are short on emails.

 

247

00:07:48,668 --> 00:07:50,336

It is real direct communication

 

248

00:07:50,336 --> 00:07:54,907

and it comes off kind of abrupt and,

 

249

00:07:55,007 --> 00:07:57,643

you know, quick and to the point and

 

250

00:07:57,643 --> 00:07:58,478

yeah, sometimes.

 

251

00:07:58,478 --> 00:08:01,013

So I can understand how sometimes,

 

252

00:08:01,013 --> 00:08:02,181

you know what,

 

253

00:08:02,181 --> 00:08:02,682

what we said

 

254

00:08:02,682 --> 00:08:03,783

maybe didn't come across

 

255

00:08:03,783 --> 00:08:06,252

exactly as intended.

 

256

00:08:06,252 --> 00:08:09,255

So

 

257

00:08:09,322 --> 00:08:10,556

and you're high on this product

 

258

00:08:10,556 --> 00:08:11,958

anyhow

 

259

00:08:11,958 --> 00:08:12,959

we were talking about this

 

260

00:08:12,959 --> 00:08:13,759

a couple days ago.

 

261

00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:14,594

You're this is a

 

262

00:08:14,594 --> 00:08:17,029

this you're you're pretty

 

263

00:08:17,029 --> 00:08:17,964

pumped about this one.

 

264

00:08:17,964 --> 00:08:22,869

So anything

 

265

00:08:22,969 --> 00:08:24,136

I think you're going to see it

 

266

00:08:24,136 --> 00:08:28,608

start to put a dent in classic SEAL sales

 

267

00:08:28,708 --> 00:08:32,078

and intense seal sales.

 

268

00:08:32,178 --> 00:09:01,807

I think and why.

 

269

00:09:01,908 --> 00:09:04,577

like me,

 

270

00:09:04,577 --> 00:09:09,916

no, no pigment, no color.

 

271

00:09:09,982 --> 00:09:10,416

there you go.

 

272

00:09:10,416 --> 00:09:11,417

I'll take that.

 

273

00:09:11,417 --> 00:09:12,685

Yeah.

 

274

00:09:12,685 --> 00:09:15,454

Okay.

 

275

00:09:15,454 --> 00:09:17,323

But

 

276

00:09:17,323 --> 00:09:19,892

like I said, the clear seal

 

277

00:09:19,892 --> 00:09:20,826

gives you.

 

278

00:09:20,826 --> 00:09:21,727

And I think

 

279

00:09:21,727 --> 00:09:23,062

when you do a side by side

 

280

00:09:23,062 --> 00:09:25,765

with classic and clear,

 

281

00:09:25,831 --> 00:09:27,333

the clear seal looks

 

282

00:09:27,333 --> 00:09:28,901

just a little bit better.

 

283

00:09:28,901 --> 00:09:29,869

I always thought that

 

284

00:09:29,869 --> 00:09:32,872

sometimes classic seal

 

285

00:09:32,939 --> 00:09:35,474

washed out a little bit of color, but

 

286

00:09:35,474 --> 00:09:38,811

it was our only sealer that was

 

287

00:09:38,878 --> 00:09:41,881

just had no color to it, you know.

 

288

00:09:41,948 --> 00:09:45,585

And now we've got the clear seal.

 

289

00:09:45,651 --> 00:09:47,720

But the other thing about clear

 

290

00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,989

seal versus the

 

291

00:09:49,989 --> 00:09:54,293

classic seal, where they're both

 

292

00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:55,761

gives you that look,

 

293

00:09:55,761 --> 00:09:58,764

okay, there's certain

 

294

00:09:59,031 --> 00:10:02,201

barriers that classic SEAL has.

 

295

00:10:02,301 --> 00:10:05,271

You can't put classic seal overstay

 

296

00:10:05,438 --> 00:10:06,072

and you

 

297

00:10:06,072 --> 00:10:08,207

can't put classic seal over itself.

 

298

00:10:08,207 --> 00:10:10,943

So classic seals, a one shot deal,

 

299

00:10:10,943 --> 00:10:13,279

He won't go the classic SEAL.

 

300

00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:16,282

And then you have to put a topcoat on it.

 

301

00:10:16,349 --> 00:10:18,784

So you're kind of limiting Classic SEAL

 

302

00:10:18,784 --> 00:10:20,853

is one of like it first generation sealer

 

303

00:10:20,853 --> 00:10:22,455

we came out with right?

 

304

00:10:22,455 --> 00:10:23,556

it came out in the nineties.

 

305

00:10:23,556 --> 00:10:26,025

I think it was like one of the first ones

 

306

00:10:26,025 --> 00:10:27,426

Maybe even earlier than that.

 

307

00:10:27,426 --> 00:10:29,629

I don't know. But it's been around.

 

308

00:10:29,629 --> 00:10:31,564

was used to be bone seal.

 

309

00:10:31,564 --> 00:10:34,133

Yeah, correct.

 

310

00:10:34,233 --> 00:10:35,868

And, you know,

 

311

00:10:35,868 --> 00:10:37,036

the numbers kept

 

312

00:10:37,036 --> 00:10:38,371

justifying it every year.

 

313

00:10:38,371 --> 00:10:39,438

I mean, you know what I mean?

 

314

00:10:39,438 --> 00:10:40,506

The amount that we sold,

 

315

00:10:40,506 --> 00:10:40,806

I mean,

 

316

00:10:40,806 --> 00:10:43,009

it made no sense not to not think

 

317

00:10:43,009 --> 00:10:44,777

not to have it because it

 

318

00:10:44,777 --> 00:10:46,245

the numbers are there and they still are.

 

319

00:10:46,245 --> 00:10:49,015

But to your point,

 

320

00:10:49,015 --> 00:10:51,884

I think the clear seal,

 

321

00:10:51,884 --> 00:10:53,819

all the things that you just mentioned

 

322

00:10:53,819 --> 00:10:56,822

and also a braid so much better.

 

323

00:10:56,989 --> 00:10:59,058

It really braids beautifully.

 

324

00:10:59,058 --> 00:11:00,493

And that was one of the things

 

325

00:11:00,493 --> 00:11:01,594

about classic SEAL

 

326

00:11:01,594 --> 00:11:02,895

is that you have to either

 

327

00:11:02,895 --> 00:11:04,363

hot coat it or braid

 

328

00:11:04,363 --> 00:11:08,934

it really quick with a maroon pad right?

 

329

00:11:09,035 --> 00:11:10,202

of strip or football

 

330

00:11:10,202 --> 00:11:11,937

or something on there.

 

331

00:11:11,937 --> 00:11:19,078

Yeah.

 

332

00:11:19,145 --> 00:11:19,445

you know,

 

333

00:11:19,445 --> 00:11:20,479

heat that stuff up

 

334

00:11:20,479 --> 00:11:21,113

and that's

 

335

00:11:21,113 --> 00:11:22,415

when you get those little gummies

 

336

00:11:22,415 --> 00:11:23,115

and stickers or

 

337

00:11:23,115 --> 00:11:26,252

whatever you want to call.

 

338

00:11:26,318 --> 00:11:27,987

Yeah,

 

339

00:11:27,987 --> 00:11:30,756

that makes sense.

 

340

00:11:30,756 --> 00:11:32,825

So it's definitely the,

 

341

00:11:32,825 --> 00:11:35,561

you know, everything with Bona,

 

342

00:11:35,561 --> 00:11:38,564

I mean, since you and I have been here is

 

343

00:11:38,597 --> 00:11:39,965

a good, better best,

 

344

00:11:39,965 --> 00:11:41,167

but we're always improving

 

345

00:11:41,167 --> 00:11:42,401

on the good better best.

 

346

00:11:42,401 --> 00:11:44,170

So this is just

 

347

00:11:44,170 --> 00:11:46,772

an amazing improvement on plastic seal

 

348

00:11:46,772 --> 00:11:49,475

and classic seal is loved

 

349

00:11:49,475 --> 00:11:51,510

because it doesn't

 

350

00:11:51,510 --> 00:11:51,711

you know,

 

351

00:11:51,711 --> 00:11:53,145

it doesn't really add color

 

352

00:11:53,145 --> 00:11:54,346

to anything that you're doing.

 

353

00:11:54,346 --> 00:11:57,983

But it it, you know, had its limits

 

354

00:11:58,084 --> 00:12:00,586

where, you know, we can do everything.

 

355

00:12:00,586 --> 00:12:02,822

I mean, we are

 

356

00:12:02,822 --> 00:12:03,122

you know,

 

357

00:12:03,122 --> 00:12:07,426

we're tinting the clear seal where,

 

358

00:12:07,526 --> 00:12:08,160

you know, doing

 

359

00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:12,064

two coats,

 

360

00:12:12,131 --> 00:12:13,365

very easy to operate.

 

361

00:12:13,365 --> 00:12:16,802

I mean, there's just so many things that,

 

362

00:12:16,869 --> 00:12:17,503

you know, it's

 

363

00:12:17,503 --> 00:12:18,604

going to be actually

 

364

00:12:18,604 --> 00:12:18,904

you know,

 

365

00:12:18,904 --> 00:12:20,406

it's going to save you a little money

 

366

00:12:20,406 --> 00:12:21,073

using the clear

 

367

00:12:21,073 --> 00:12:22,575

seal over the classic seal,

 

368

00:12:22,575 --> 00:12:24,176

because now you're

 

369

00:12:24,176 --> 00:12:25,845

two and two system isn't,

 

370

00:12:25,845 --> 00:12:26,145

you know,

 

371

00:12:26,145 --> 00:12:27,747

one seal or three type coats now

 

372

00:12:27,747 --> 00:12:29,782

to seal or to top coats

 

373

00:12:29,782 --> 00:12:30,649

and you're also going

 

374

00:12:30,649 --> 00:12:32,084

to save a little money.

 

375

00:12:32,084 --> 00:12:36,889

But the the thing that I loved about it

 

376

00:12:36,989 --> 00:12:39,225

was how easy it is to apply.

 

377

00:12:39,225 --> 00:12:41,761

I mean, how forgiving it is.

 

378

00:12:41,761 --> 00:12:43,996

And, you know, that's to me,

 

379

00:12:43,996 --> 00:12:45,965

that's everything with

 

380

00:12:45,965 --> 00:12:47,266

first coat on, bare wood.

 

381

00:12:47,266 --> 00:12:48,000

I mean, we've

 

382

00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,335

you and I have talked about that.

 

383

00:12:49,335 --> 00:12:51,370

We're blue in the face

 

384

00:12:51,370 --> 00:12:56,942

and it was just so easy and forgiving.

 

385

00:12:57,009 --> 00:12:58,310

Yeah.

 

386

00:12:58,310 --> 00:13:00,312

Well, I've been at about

 

387

00:13:00,312 --> 00:13:01,480

ten years now,

 

388

00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,616

and I know that's shocking.

 

389

00:13:03,616 --> 00:13:05,017

Is

 

390

00:13:05,017 --> 00:13:07,086

in considering all the accomplishments

 

391

00:13:07,086 --> 00:13:10,489

and the meteoric rise in my stature,

 

392

00:13:10,589 --> 00:13:13,292

but I've seen so many changes happening

 

393

00:13:13,292 --> 00:13:17,096

since I first started in products.

 

394

00:13:17,196 --> 00:13:19,999

I mean, the mega one, the traffic,

 

395

00:13:19,999 --> 00:13:20,933

the the

 

396

00:13:20,933 --> 00:13:23,435

the the Nordic seal, the natural seal,

 

397

00:13:23,435 --> 00:13:24,537

and then this one,

 

398

00:13:24,537 --> 00:13:25,571

all the approve

 

399

00:13:25,571 --> 00:13:27,973

improvements, all all down the line.

 

400

00:13:27,973 --> 00:13:28,741

I mean, really,

 

401

00:13:28,741 --> 00:13:30,109

the whole line is not the same

 

402

00:13:30,109 --> 00:13:32,611

since I was here ten years ago.

 

403

00:13:32,678 --> 00:13:33,813

yeah, exactly.

 

404

00:13:33,813 --> 00:13:35,748

I feel the same way.

 

405

00:13:35,748 --> 00:13:37,216

They really have improvement.

 

406

00:13:37,216 --> 00:13:40,219

But even look at your department Yep.

 

407

00:13:40,452 --> 00:13:43,222

Yep.

 

408

00:13:43,222 --> 00:13:43,823

Absolutely.

 

409

00:13:43,823 --> 00:13:46,625

You can't sit still there, Rob.

 

410

00:13:46,625 --> 00:13:48,661

So

 

411

00:13:48,661 --> 00:13:50,029

now let's get into the color

 

412

00:13:50,029 --> 00:13:50,696

and where I think

 

413

00:13:50,696 --> 00:13:52,865

we're really confusing people Okay.

 

414

00:13:52,865 --> 00:13:54,700

Okay.

 

415

00:13:54,700 --> 00:13:58,437

confusing

 

416

00:13:58,504 --> 00:14:00,940

natural seal.

 

417

00:14:00,940 --> 00:14:03,943

Okay, you get on the color scale.

 

418

00:14:03,943 --> 00:14:06,512

Nordic is the whitest,

 

419

00:14:06,512 --> 00:14:07,513

right?

 

420

00:14:07,513 --> 00:14:08,714

Nordic is going to be white.

 

421

00:14:08,714 --> 00:14:10,049

Two three coats in Nordic.

 

422

00:14:10,049 --> 00:14:12,117

You're going to have a white floor

 

423

00:14:12,117 --> 00:14:15,354

natural seal is going to give you.

 

424

00:14:15,454 --> 00:14:17,656

And I'm trying to think of

 

425

00:14:17,656 --> 00:14:19,158

you're a smart guy.

 

426

00:14:19,158 --> 00:14:23,796

What would be another Sure.

 

427

00:14:23,896 --> 00:14:39,511

Right.

 

428

00:14:39,578 --> 00:14:39,979

Okay.

 

429

00:14:39,979 --> 00:14:40,512

when you start

 

430

00:14:40,512 --> 00:14:43,749

throwing these names around,

 

431

00:14:43,816 --> 00:14:46,151

then when you say

 

432

00:14:46,151 --> 00:14:48,354

clear, SEAL has a very natural look,

 

433

00:14:48,354 --> 00:14:52,324

now we're like Yeah,

 

434

00:14:52,391 --> 00:14:57,763

right, right.

 

435

00:14:57,830 --> 00:14:59,498

Okay, let's do this.

 

436

00:14:59,498 --> 00:15:00,666

let's do it.

 

437

00:15:00,666 --> 00:15:04,970

You're a smart guy Siri Synonyms for Rob.

 

438

00:15:05,070 --> 00:15:07,973

uncooked and fresh.

 

439

00:15:08,073 --> 00:15:09,942

Okay, We could call it uncooked

 

440

00:15:09,942 --> 00:15:13,579

or fresh,

 

441

00:15:13,646 --> 00:15:15,514

unprocessed, untreated,

 

442

00:15:15,514 --> 00:15:18,884

crude, natural.

 

443

00:15:18,951 --> 00:15:19,652

Those aren't working.

 

444

00:15:19,652 --> 00:15:21,820

Rob None of that is working.

 

445

00:15:21,820 --> 00:15:23,722

But you know what I think is funny?

 

446

00:15:23,722 --> 00:15:24,690

I asked you

 

447

00:15:24,690 --> 00:15:26,592

because I think it was a smart guy.

 

448

00:15:26,592 --> 00:15:33,565

He'll

 

449

00:15:33,666 --> 00:15:35,167

Series everything now.

 

450

00:15:35,167 --> 00:15:38,170

I mean,

 

451

00:15:38,170 --> 00:15:41,840

I know

 

452

00:15:41,907 --> 00:15:44,910

I didn't know,

 

453

00:15:44,910 --> 00:15:45,778

right?

 

454

00:15:45,778 --> 00:15:46,645

You still got time.

 

455

00:15:46,645 --> 00:15:47,112

You should

 

456

00:15:47,112 --> 00:15:48,547

you should watch the movie outfits,

 

457

00:15:48,547 --> 00:15:50,916

the Will Ferrell movie. It's

 

458

00:15:50,916 --> 00:15:52,885

you know,

 

459

00:15:52,885 --> 00:15:54,887

one of the sentiments is intense.

 

460

00:15:54,887 --> 00:15:58,257

Maybe we should call intentional

 

461

00:15:58,357 --> 00:16:01,927

that to make it even more confusing.

 

462

00:16:01,994 --> 00:16:02,494

I have not.

 

463

00:16:02,494 --> 00:16:20,179

No, I have not seen an elf

 

464

00:16:20,279 --> 00:16:43,969

here.

 

465

00:16:44,036 --> 00:16:46,405

Yeah.

 

466

00:16:46,405 --> 00:16:53,979

Somebody else?

 

467

00:16:54,046 --> 00:17:00,486

Yeah.

 

468

00:17:00,552 --> 00:17:05,391

That's beautiful.

 

469

00:17:05,457 --> 00:17:07,593

Well, let's not confuse it anymore.

 

470

00:17:07,593 --> 00:17:08,927

So I should actually.

 

471

00:17:08,927 --> 00:17:09,762

I shouldn't have interrupted

 

472

00:17:09,762 --> 00:17:10,996

you there, so may try to make it

 

473

00:17:10,996 --> 00:17:13,732

more as clear as you can on, on,

 

474

00:17:13,732 --> 00:17:16,201

on that color thing.

 

475

00:17:16,301 --> 00:17:18,303

So

 

476

00:17:18,303 --> 00:17:22,041

the natural seal is going to give you

 

477

00:17:22,141 --> 00:17:25,144

that raw,

 

478

00:17:25,210 --> 00:17:27,079

freshly sanded, nothing on it.

 

479

00:17:27,079 --> 00:17:30,649

Look. Yep, yep,

 

480

00:17:30,749 --> 00:17:37,523

yep, yep.

 

481

00:17:37,623 --> 00:17:39,324

Which I got it.

 

482

00:17:39,324 --> 00:17:41,360

Yes. Yeah.

 

483

00:17:41,360 --> 00:17:45,697

If.

 

484

00:17:45,764 --> 00:17:47,933

Well yeah.

 

485

00:17:47,933 --> 00:17:48,700

You can't do that.

 

486

00:17:48,700 --> 00:17:50,002

You got to put something on it. Yeah.

 

487

00:17:50,002 --> 00:17:52,204

You got to you got to protect it.

 

488

00:17:52,204 --> 00:18:07,519

Yeah, yeah, yeah,

 

489

00:18:07,619 --> 00:18:09,888

you cannot have been in this business

 

490

00:18:09,888 --> 00:18:10,656

to not have heard that

 

491

00:18:10,656 --> 00:18:12,191

from a homeowner at the point

 

492

00:18:12,191 --> 00:18:12,524

where it is

 

493

00:18:12,524 --> 00:18:14,059

perfectly sanded and they go, gosh,

 

494

00:18:14,059 --> 00:18:16,562

I wish you could leave it just like this.

 

495

00:18:16,562 --> 00:18:18,864

You, every single human

 

496

00:18:18,864 --> 00:18:19,631

being in this industry

 

497

00:18:19,631 --> 00:18:21,166

obviously has heard that.

 

498

00:18:21,166 --> 00:18:25,137

Any every school I do when I'm doing

 

499

00:18:25,237 --> 00:18:26,171

the natural sale

 

500

00:18:26,171 --> 00:18:27,339

demo, I say that

 

501

00:18:27,339 --> 00:18:29,208

and I go, raise your hands

 

502

00:18:29,208 --> 00:18:30,509

if you've heard that.

 

503

00:18:30,509 --> 00:18:35,948

Yeah,

 

504

00:18:36,014 --> 00:18:38,484

yeah, yeah,

 

505

00:18:38,584 --> 00:18:41,153

yeah,

 

506

00:18:41,153 --> 00:18:42,221

yeah. No, it's.

 

507

00:18:42,221 --> 00:18:43,522

Everybody is universal.

 

508

00:18:43,522 --> 00:18:47,092

everybody, right?

 

509

00:18:47,192 --> 00:18:49,928

So now

 

510

00:18:49,928 --> 00:18:51,797

that's the

 

511

00:18:51,797 --> 00:18:52,631

you know,

 

512

00:18:52,631 --> 00:18:54,466

I want to call it the raw look,

 

513

00:18:54,466 --> 00:18:57,369

but we have raw right?

 

514

00:18:57,369 --> 00:19:10,916

Yeah,

 

515

00:19:11,016 --> 00:19:11,750

where things

 

516

00:19:11,750 --> 00:19:13,352

really start to get

 

517

00:19:13,352 --> 00:19:16,088

crazy, is we're talking raw, we're

 

518

00:19:16,088 --> 00:19:19,091

talking natural and we're talking clear.

 

519

00:19:19,191 --> 00:19:20,526

well, I think.

 

520

00:19:20,526 --> 00:19:24,296

I think this maybe this is it.

 

521

00:19:24,396 --> 00:19:25,264

The natural is like,

 

522

00:19:25,264 --> 00:19:26,098

like you said, natural.

 

523

00:19:26,098 --> 00:19:27,699

You walk in, you look like, gosh,

 

524

00:19:27,699 --> 00:19:28,567

it doesn't look like there's

 

525

00:19:28,567 --> 00:19:31,036

anything on there. Okay?

 

526

00:19:31,036 --> 00:19:32,871

This type of kind of just enhances

 

527

00:19:32,871 --> 00:19:34,139

that a little bit.

 

528

00:19:34,139 --> 00:19:35,674

Enhances the color a little bit.

 

529

00:19:35,674 --> 00:19:36,975

I think to me.

 

530

00:19:36,975 --> 00:19:39,444

And it.

 

531

00:19:39,444 --> 00:19:41,313

Yes. Yes.

 

532

00:19:41,313 --> 00:19:43,649

Yep. Yep.

 

533

00:19:43,649 --> 00:19:44,416

And without getting

 

534

00:19:44,416 --> 00:19:46,285

into the yellow tones,

 

535

00:19:46,285 --> 00:19:47,386

you know, the old seventies

 

536

00:19:47,386 --> 00:19:51,156

and eighties, you know, that we had.

 

537

00:19:51,223 --> 00:19:52,624

Yeah.

 

538

00:19:52,691 --> 00:19:53,725

lacquer, you know,

 

539

00:19:53,725 --> 00:19:56,228

lacquer would give you that Yeah.

 

540

00:19:56,228 --> 00:19:57,196

out type of look.

 

541

00:19:57,196 --> 00:20:02,100

There's no it really just it just

 

542

00:20:02,201 --> 00:20:05,537

brings out the natural color of the wood.

 

543

00:20:05,637 --> 00:20:07,573

So there are nuances here,

 

544

00:20:07,573 --> 00:20:08,840

you know, we get that.

 

545

00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,409

But that's what

 

546

00:20:10,409 --> 00:20:11,043

the homeowners

 

547

00:20:11,043 --> 00:20:12,511

are looking for in options.

 

548

00:20:12,511 --> 00:20:13,178

You know what I mean?

 

549

00:20:13,178 --> 00:20:14,379

If someone is looking for

 

550

00:20:14,379 --> 00:20:15,847

a little bit of white,

 

551

00:20:15,847 --> 00:20:17,049

well, that's not natural.

 

552

00:20:17,049 --> 00:20:17,583

You know what I mean?

 

553

00:20:17,583 --> 00:20:18,951

That's that's a little bit of white

 

554

00:20:18,951 --> 00:20:20,519

and that's a Nordic seal.

 

555

00:20:20,519 --> 00:20:23,021

If they're looking for that raw look,

 

556

00:20:23,021 --> 00:20:25,357

then that's an and natural seal.

 

557

00:20:25,357 --> 00:20:27,159

If they want something like this,

 

558

00:20:27,159 --> 00:20:28,393

that just kind of enhances

 

559

00:20:28,393 --> 00:20:29,928

the color a little bit,

 

560

00:20:29,928 --> 00:20:30,429

it brings it out

 

561

00:20:30,429 --> 00:20:31,029

a little bit more

 

562

00:20:31,029 --> 00:20:32,064

then that's going to be

 

563

00:20:32,064 --> 00:20:34,299

in is in this clear seal.

 

564

00:20:34,299 --> 00:20:35,500

So, you know,

 

565

00:20:35,500 --> 00:20:36,568

we have the and Brazil

 

566

00:20:36,568 --> 00:20:38,704

if you want to get that oil based look.

 

567

00:20:38,704 --> 00:20:39,638

So yeah,

 

568

00:20:39,638 --> 00:20:40,572

there's there's some

 

569

00:20:40,572 --> 00:20:41,440

different sealers here

 

570

00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:42,641

but I think there is a

 

571

00:20:42,641 --> 00:20:44,109

you know, there's nuances

 

572

00:20:44,109 --> 00:20:46,211

and there's reasons for each one of them

 

573

00:20:46,211 --> 00:20:48,080

if because you're certain

 

574

00:20:48,146 --> 00:20:48,547

I'm sorry.

 

575

00:20:48,547 --> 00:20:49,114

Go ahead.

 

576

00:20:49,114 --> 00:20:50,082

it would be easy

 

577

00:20:50,082 --> 00:20:51,817

if life was like, all right, you see.

 

578

00:20:51,817 --> 00:20:53,819

Yep. Go boom, use this.

 

579

00:20:53,819 --> 00:20:55,354

But that's not our clients anymore.

 

580

00:20:55,354 --> 00:20:56,255

I mean, they're very more,

 

581

00:20:56,255 --> 00:20:57,456

they're more specific in their

 

582

00:20:57,456 --> 00:21:01,093

what their wants are.

 

583

00:21:01,193 --> 00:21:03,228

And the other thing, too,

 

584

00:21:03,228 --> 00:21:03,462

you know,

 

585

00:21:03,462 --> 00:21:06,265

I did a school last week in Atlanta.

 

586

00:21:06,265 --> 00:21:08,867

Shout out to the guys at Fleming.

 

587

00:21:08,867 --> 00:21:10,269

What?

 

588

00:21:10,269 --> 00:21:10,802

I'll tell you,

 

589

00:21:10,802 --> 00:21:13,338

that was a way to wrap up the season.

 

590

00:21:13,338 --> 00:21:15,741

What a fantastic class.

 

591

00:21:15,741 --> 00:22:19,805

That was

 

592

00:22:19,871 --> 00:22:20,639

Nice.

 

593

00:22:20,639 --> 00:22:23,141

Very nice.

 

594

00:22:23,141 --> 00:22:23,608

Okay.

 

595

00:22:23,608 --> 00:22:25,077

I think that clears it up.

 

596

00:22:25,077 --> 00:22:30,315

Rob.

 

597

00:22:30,382 --> 00:22:33,985

But like I said, I just want to go back

 

598

00:22:34,086 --> 00:22:36,988

however you like to apply

 

599

00:22:36,988 --> 00:22:40,325

your sealers, roller tea bar, shrimp pad

 

600

00:22:40,392 --> 00:22:43,028

and everything works with this.

 

601

00:22:43,028 --> 00:22:45,664

That is one of the big things about this

 

602

00:22:45,664 --> 00:22:46,932

is just

 

603

00:22:46,932 --> 00:22:49,368

the ease of application

 

604

00:22:49,368 --> 00:22:51,970

and how forgiving it is.

 

605

00:22:51,970 --> 00:22:52,704

Plus, you're going to get

 

606

00:22:52,704 --> 00:22:55,240

around five, 600,

 

607

00:22:55,307 --> 00:22:57,275

five or 600 feet per gallon.

 

608

00:22:57,275 --> 00:22:59,511

You get your 48 hour hock window,

 

609

00:22:59,511 --> 00:23:00,746

you know, all that stuff.

 

610

00:23:00,746 --> 00:23:03,348

Greengart gold certified.

 

611

00:23:03,348 --> 00:23:04,616

But it also gives you

 

612

00:23:04,616 --> 00:23:06,351

some really good build, you know,

 

613

00:23:06,351 --> 00:23:07,419

So when you put in your top

 

614

00:23:07,419 --> 00:23:09,187

kill time, you're going to get that

 

615

00:23:09,187 --> 00:23:10,622

that look to the depth.

 

616

00:23:10,622 --> 00:23:12,357

But

 

617

00:23:12,357 --> 00:23:13,959

it sounds like we just confused

 

618

00:23:13,959 --> 00:23:15,494

everybody a little bit more.

 

619

00:23:15,494 --> 00:23:17,429

I don't know, but

 

620

00:23:17,429 --> 00:23:18,563

we're going to throw

 

621

00:23:18,563 --> 00:23:20,932

I think Chris can throw

 

622

00:23:20,932 --> 00:23:23,034

Yeah.

 

623

00:23:23,034 --> 00:23:25,337

training center of intense,

 

624

00:23:25,337 --> 00:23:28,407

intense, clear seal and natural seal.

 

625

00:23:28,407 --> 00:23:29,808

And then, you know,

 

626

00:23:29,808 --> 00:23:31,610

I think that'll help break it down.

 

627

00:23:31,610 --> 00:23:34,479

I think years ago, in the past,

 

628

00:23:34,479 --> 00:23:35,781

you talked about how easy

 

629

00:23:35,781 --> 00:23:36,815

these products are to coat.

 

630

00:23:36,815 --> 00:23:37,682

Now, you know,

 

631

00:23:37,682 --> 00:23:38,750

when we all learn the trade,

 

632

00:23:38,750 --> 00:23:39,751

back in the old days

 

633

00:23:39,751 --> 00:23:41,453

in the seventies or eighties or whatever,

 

634

00:23:41,453 --> 00:23:42,521

and the products were,

 

635

00:23:42,521 --> 00:23:44,055

I think, more difficult to apply

 

636

00:23:44,055 --> 00:23:45,791

and there wasn't as many techniques

 

637

00:23:45,791 --> 00:23:47,025

to apply them.

 

638

00:23:47,025 --> 00:23:48,427

And, you know,

 

639

00:23:48,427 --> 00:23:50,061

you were with a journeyman

 

640

00:23:50,061 --> 00:23:51,863

for a long time usually.

 

641

00:23:51,863 --> 00:23:53,498

And you know, there was a learning curve

 

642

00:23:53,498 --> 00:23:55,767

and it was a steep learning curve and,

 

643

00:23:55,767 --> 00:23:56,101

you know,

 

644

00:23:56,101 --> 00:23:56,735

you had,

 

645

00:23:56,735 --> 00:23:57,803

you know, work your way up

 

646

00:23:57,803 --> 00:23:59,971

to finally being coding a floor.

 

647

00:23:59,971 --> 00:24:00,839

I think

 

648

00:24:00,839 --> 00:24:02,374

what one thing bondage is

 

649

00:24:02,374 --> 00:24:03,542

has done over the years

 

650

00:24:03,542 --> 00:24:07,112

is, is realize that

 

651

00:24:07,212 --> 00:24:07,779

the ease,

 

652

00:24:07,779 --> 00:24:08,713

the ease of use

 

653

00:24:08,713 --> 00:24:09,815

has to be a very much

 

654

00:24:09,815 --> 00:24:11,883

a high priority with the products

 

655

00:24:11,883 --> 00:24:13,385

and and the different

 

656

00:24:13,385 --> 00:24:14,286

techniques like rolling

 

657

00:24:14,286 --> 00:24:15,287

and what have you are

 

658

00:24:15,287 --> 00:24:18,190

are part of our our our our DNA.

 

659

00:24:18,190 --> 00:24:19,391

Yeah they have to be

 

660

00:24:19,391 --> 00:24:20,892

they have to pass that test with us

 

661

00:24:20,892 --> 00:24:22,894

before they pass anything else. Really.

 

662

00:24:22,894 --> 00:24:24,496

They have to be easy to use.

 

663

00:24:24,496 --> 00:24:25,397

And I think that's one thing

 

664

00:24:25,397 --> 00:24:26,331

what we've done over the years

 

665

00:24:26,331 --> 00:24:28,600

and why we've gone like,

 

666

00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,001

you know, the traffic aids

 

667

00:24:30,001 --> 00:24:30,936

and the mega ones

 

668

00:24:30,936 --> 00:24:32,938

and now different sealers or whatever

 

669

00:24:32,938 --> 00:24:35,407

is is for the the ease of use.

 

670

00:24:35,407 --> 00:24:38,310

Now,

 

671

00:24:38,310 --> 00:24:39,244

you know, like a Nordic

 

672

00:24:39,244 --> 00:24:40,245

seal is going to be more difficult

 

673

00:24:40,245 --> 00:24:43,248

to apply any time you have added weight

 

674

00:24:43,248 --> 00:24:44,149

to anything,

 

675

00:24:44,149 --> 00:24:45,283

it's going to be the

 

676

00:24:45,283 --> 00:24:47,385

more difficult one to apply.

 

677

00:24:47,452 --> 00:24:48,687

Be aware of that.

 

678

00:24:48,687 --> 00:24:50,088

But but by and large,

 

679

00:24:50,088 --> 00:24:52,023

with all the sealers now and

 

680

00:24:52,023 --> 00:24:53,758

and the finishes,

 

681

00:24:53,758 --> 00:24:55,327

they've just gotten much easier to use

 

682

00:24:55,327 --> 00:24:56,094

and they had in the past.

 

683

00:24:56,094 --> 00:24:57,095

You remember the old days

 

684

00:24:57,095 --> 00:24:59,531

when all you had was a bar

 

685

00:24:59,531 --> 00:25:00,599

and there were some,

 

686

00:25:00,599 --> 00:25:01,299

you know,

 

687

00:25:01,299 --> 00:25:01,566

you know,

 

688

00:25:01,566 --> 00:25:03,168

we didn't know as much as we did

 

689

00:25:03,168 --> 00:25:04,436

right now.

 

690

00:25:04,436 --> 00:25:06,137

Also we were kind of learning back

 

691

00:25:06,137 --> 00:25:07,539

then as we went along.

 

692

00:25:07,539 --> 00:25:09,875

But they've definitely gotten easier

 

693

00:25:09,875 --> 00:25:13,879

as time has gone on.

 

694

00:25:13,945 --> 00:25:15,814

I love when people say, that T-bar bar.

 

695

00:25:15,814 --> 00:25:17,983

That's the old way, right?

 

696

00:25:17,983 --> 00:25:19,584

Absolutely.

 

697

00:25:19,584 --> 00:25:22,254

Yeah, yeah,

 

698

00:25:22,254 --> 00:25:22,687

yeah.

 

699

00:25:22,687 --> 00:25:24,189

And it's still a very effective way.

 

700

00:25:24,189 --> 00:25:25,790

And the guys,

 

701

00:25:25,790 --> 00:25:26,691

I mean, you know,

 

702

00:25:26,691 --> 00:25:29,494

I'll, I'll, I'll die on this hill

 

703

00:25:29,494 --> 00:25:31,062

that I don't ever see

 

704

00:25:31,062 --> 00:25:32,797

a reason to roll a silk out

 

705

00:25:32,797 --> 00:25:33,565

in my opinion.

 

706

00:25:33,565 --> 00:25:36,768

I mean I t bar every one of them,

 

707

00:25:36,835 --> 00:25:39,271

I just don't see a reason to,

 

708

00:25:39,271 --> 00:25:40,872

to roll as Hillcoat.

 

709

00:25:40,872 --> 00:25:41,873

But that's my opinion.

 

710

00:25:41,873 --> 00:25:43,408

And I grew up with,

 

711

00:25:43,408 --> 00:25:44,943

you know, coloring with the T bar.

 

712

00:25:44,943 --> 00:25:46,578

But I often will

 

713

00:25:46,578 --> 00:25:48,547

if that's the case, I will still roll

 

714

00:25:48,547 --> 00:25:49,247

the last coat.

 

715

00:25:49,247 --> 00:25:53,485

Just depends on the layout to me.

 

716

00:25:53,585 --> 00:25:55,487

all right, Rob, What else?

 

717

00:25:55,487 --> 00:25:56,588

You also you,

 

718

00:25:56,588 --> 00:25:59,257

you doing some things with schools now?

 

719

00:25:59,257 --> 00:26:01,226

I thought we could talk about. thing

 

720

00:26:01,226 --> 00:26:04,763

I wanted to talk about today was,

 

721

00:26:04,863 --> 00:26:07,632

you know, we cut our regular

 

722

00:26:07,632 --> 00:26:10,535

bonus and it finished three days goals.

 

723

00:26:10,535 --> 00:26:12,837

We cut them in half last year

 

724

00:26:12,837 --> 00:26:15,240

and I think we used to do

 

725

00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,442

2024 or something like that.

 

726

00:26:17,442 --> 00:26:20,078

And last year I think we did 12.

 

727

00:26:20,078 --> 00:26:21,179

But the reason we did

 

728

00:26:21,179 --> 00:26:25,250

that was more and more people wanted

 

729

00:26:25,317 --> 00:26:28,219

different types of training,

 

730

00:26:28,219 --> 00:26:29,754

you know, maybe shorter,

 

731

00:26:29,754 --> 00:26:31,256

maybe a little longer,

 

732

00:26:31,256 --> 00:26:33,992

maybe more in depth,

 

733

00:26:33,992 --> 00:26:35,794

more intermediate stuff.

 

734

00:26:35,794 --> 00:26:37,262

You know,

 

735

00:26:37,262 --> 00:26:40,265

I'm always I'm always a little nervous

 

736

00:26:40,332 --> 00:26:42,467

when the you know,

 

737

00:26:42,467 --> 00:26:43,668

I start talking to guys

 

738

00:26:43,668 --> 00:26:44,936

before the school starts.

 

739

00:26:44,936 --> 00:26:46,004

Hey, you know,

 

740

00:26:46,004 --> 00:26:48,506

one of the things I'll always ask is

 

741

00:26:48,506 --> 00:26:50,141

how many years you get on the job,

 

742

00:26:50,141 --> 00:26:50,508

you know,

 

743

00:26:50,508 --> 00:26:52,110

and you have guys who are like,

 

744

00:26:52,110 --> 00:26:53,979

this is my third month.

 

745

00:26:53,979 --> 00:26:55,981

And then you get guys, you're like,

 

746

00:26:55,981 --> 00:26:58,550

This is my 40th year.

 

747

00:26:58,617 --> 00:26:59,951

And so now,

 

748

00:26:59,951 --> 00:27:00,385

you know,

 

749

00:27:00,385 --> 00:27:03,221

there's a pretty big swing right there.

 

750

00:27:03,221 --> 00:27:05,590

And I'm always

 

751

00:27:05,590 --> 00:27:08,259

careful to make sure that that 40 year

 

752

00:27:08,259 --> 00:27:11,930

guy walks away with some good

 

753

00:27:11,997 --> 00:27:15,233

as well as the kid, you know?

 

754

00:27:15,333 --> 00:27:16,101

So, I mean,

 

755

00:27:16,101 --> 00:27:18,103

I think we've always done a great job

 

756

00:27:18,103 --> 00:27:19,437

at our schools for that

 

757

00:27:19,437 --> 00:27:20,438

because I've

 

758

00:27:20,438 --> 00:27:21,172

it's amazing

 

759

00:27:21,172 --> 00:27:22,540

how many times you get that guy

 

760

00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:24,809

who's been doing it 30 or 40 years.

 

761

00:27:24,809 --> 00:27:26,978

And as he's walking out and, you know,

 

762

00:27:26,978 --> 00:27:28,747

handshaking and everything,

 

763

00:27:28,747 --> 00:27:30,048

he's like, I never knew this.

 

764

00:27:30,048 --> 00:27:31,383

I never knew that, you know,

 

765

00:27:31,383 --> 00:27:32,817

thanks a lot. This is great.

 

766

00:27:32,817 --> 00:27:37,155

So I know we always do a good job of,

 

767

00:27:37,222 --> 00:27:39,457

you know, that mix of guys

 

768

00:27:39,457 --> 00:27:40,925

that you get at our school.

 

769

00:27:40,925 --> 00:27:42,193

But, you know,

 

770

00:27:42,193 --> 00:27:43,662

we want to

 

771

00:27:43,662 --> 00:27:46,564

focus a little bit more on intermediate.

 

772

00:27:46,564 --> 00:27:48,700

And I mean, the other thing

 

773

00:27:48,700 --> 00:27:51,002

now with your department,

 

774

00:27:51,002 --> 00:27:53,872

it just seem like, okay, it's

 

775

00:27:53,872 --> 00:27:57,008

definitely time for Boehner to wade

 

776

00:27:57,008 --> 00:28:00,378

into installation classes and,

 

777

00:28:00,445 --> 00:28:02,280

you know, the addition of Mike

 

778

00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,750

Dittmar to the team is just really

 

779

00:28:05,850 --> 00:28:06,918

you know what I mean?

 

780

00:28:06,918 --> 00:28:08,887

We got Dittmar on our team.

 

781

00:28:08,887 --> 00:28:11,489

So as far as install the,

 

782

00:28:11,489 --> 00:28:13,491

you know, floor of the year,

 

783

00:28:13,491 --> 00:28:14,325

you know what I mean?

 

784

00:28:14,325 --> 00:28:20,899

So I mean, I know you can hear that.

 

785

00:28:20,965 --> 00:28:21,800

yeah, it's there.

 

786

00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,101

Yeah, a little in the distance

 

787

00:28:23,101 --> 00:28:23,902

788

00:28:23,902 --> 00:28:25,303

00:28:25,303 --> 00:28:27,505

Even Yeah, Yeah, plating for Dittmar.

791

00:28:28,907 --> 00:28:32,544

you know the addition of Mike Dittmar

 

792

00:28:32,644 --> 00:28:34,813

to our trainings because now

 

793

00:28:34,813 --> 00:28:38,583

like I said, we're we're waiting

 

794

00:28:38,683 --> 00:28:40,552

right into installation

 

795

00:28:40,552 --> 00:28:42,120

classes and it's almost like

 

796

00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:47,392

we've started with intermediate Yep.

 

797

00:28:47,492 --> 00:28:51,229

Well,

 

798

00:28:51,329 --> 00:28:53,498

if you name the top five guys

 

799

00:28:53,498 --> 00:28:54,466

in this business, who's

 

800

00:28:54,466 --> 00:28:57,102

whose work I respect,

 

801

00:28:57,102 --> 00:28:59,304

Mike is in that top five.

 

802

00:28:59,304 --> 00:29:00,171

He's just that guy.

 

803

00:29:00,171 --> 00:29:02,474

But when it comes to being

 

804

00:29:02,474 --> 00:29:04,476

two human beings,

 

805

00:29:04,542 --> 00:29:05,343

you're not going to

 

806

00:29:05,343 --> 00:29:08,346

find anybody better than Mike DETMER.

 

807

00:29:08,379 --> 00:29:11,216

You're just not going to he's, you know,

 

808

00:29:11,216 --> 00:29:12,183

you know that thing.

 

809

00:29:12,183 --> 00:29:13,551

He just must be B

 

810

00:29:13,551 --> 00:29:15,520

It makes me want to be a better person.

 

811

00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:16,855

He's that kind of guy.

 

812

00:29:16,855 --> 00:29:18,790

Yeah, he's just a just,

 

813

00:29:18,790 --> 00:29:21,559

just a wonderful, wonderful human being.

 

814

00:29:21,559 --> 00:29:24,562

So, yeah, we could have done any better.

 

815

00:29:24,629 --> 00:29:27,632

So. of humor, too.

 

816

00:29:27,766 --> 00:30:23,521

yeah,

 

817

00:30:23,621 --> 00:30:50,949

yeah.

 

818

00:30:51,015 --> 00:30:55,820

Yeah.

 

819

00:30:55,887 --> 00:30:57,222

Wow.

 

820

00:30:57,222 --> 00:31:02,193

Yeah.

 

821

00:31:02,293 --> 00:31:04,062

You know,

 

822

00:31:04,062 --> 00:31:06,197

he was a contractor for a long time,

 

823

00:31:06,197 --> 00:31:07,332

and that work ethic

 

824

00:31:07,332 --> 00:31:09,434

and that high standard of his

 

825

00:31:09,434 --> 00:31:11,302

doesn't drop, you know what I mean?

 

826

00:31:11,302 --> 00:31:12,737

He he goes into these schools

 

827

00:31:12,737 --> 00:31:14,672

and he has the same expectations

 

828

00:31:14,672 --> 00:31:16,741

and the same,

 

829

00:31:16,741 --> 00:31:19,477

you know, same work ethic and everything.

 

830

00:31:19,477 --> 00:31:21,913

I mean he just he's a class guy.

 

831

00:31:21,913 --> 00:31:22,480

I mean,

 

832

00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:23,681

that doesn't surprise me

 

833

00:31:23,681 --> 00:31:40,131

that that's the case. You do?

 

834

00:31:40,231 --> 00:31:43,902

Yeah.

 

835

00:31:44,002 --> 00:31:54,245

Yeah, Yeah,

 

836

00:31:54,312 --> 00:32:02,453

yeah,

 

837

00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:11,496

Yep.

 

838

00:32:11,562 --> 00:32:36,387

my gosh.

 

839

00:32:36,487 --> 00:33:03,681

Yeah.

 

840

00:33:03,748 --> 00:33:13,825

One.

 

841

00:33:13,925 --> 00:33:36,381

Yeah.

 

842

00:33:36,481 --> 00:33:37,782

yeah.

 

843

00:33:37,782 --> 00:33:40,752

One thing that Mike did that well,

 

844

00:33:40,852 --> 00:33:41,352

one of the schools

 

845

00:33:41,352 --> 00:33:43,087

I was at that I like is that

 

846

00:33:43,087 --> 00:33:43,488

he showed him

 

847

00:33:43,488 --> 00:33:44,522

how to do the center layout

 

848

00:33:44,522 --> 00:33:46,057

in four four herringbone for the,

 

849

00:33:46,057 --> 00:33:47,825

for the spine and everything

 

850

00:33:47,825 --> 00:33:50,828

and how to do your your two offset lines

 

851

00:33:50,962 --> 00:33:52,764

and then so you know everybody got it.

 

852

00:33:52,764 --> 00:33:54,165

Okay everybody understand that we did.

 

853

00:33:54,165 --> 00:33:55,099

Okay good.

 

854

00:33:55,099 --> 00:33:57,368

And then he took a two hour drive

 

855

00:33:57,368 --> 00:34:01,572

and the car drives off all his marks

 

856

00:34:01,639 --> 00:34:03,107

and said, All right, now you guys do it.

 

857

00:34:03,107 --> 00:34:04,809

So you guys,

 

858

00:34:04,809 --> 00:34:05,576

that way you can,

 

859

00:34:05,576 --> 00:34:06,144

you know, once you

 

860

00:34:06,144 --> 00:34:07,345

you know, you do it yourself,

 

861

00:34:07,345 --> 00:34:09,347

you kind of get a better grasp of it.

 

862

00:34:09,347 --> 00:34:12,717

So I'd be curious of our listeners,

 

863

00:34:12,817 --> 00:34:14,786

give us some feedback, if you would.

 

864

00:34:14,786 --> 00:34:15,520

It be interesting

 

865

00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:16,954

going to a hearing boarding school

 

866

00:34:16,954 --> 00:34:18,790

this year with Mike DETMER?

 

867

00:34:18,790 --> 00:34:20,725

I just curious on the feedback.

 

868

00:34:20,725 --> 00:34:22,994

So

 

869

00:34:22,994 --> 00:34:25,396

what about you?

 

870

00:34:25,396 --> 00:34:28,366

Did Colored Schools last year?

 

871

00:34:28,366 --> 00:34:30,401

yep, we did

 

872

00:34:30,401 --> 00:34:32,437

There are so many things

 

873

00:34:32,437 --> 00:34:33,838

that we have going on now

 

874

00:34:33,838 --> 00:34:36,307

as far as color, you know, And

 

875

00:34:36,307 --> 00:34:37,341

you know, I know

 

876

00:34:37,341 --> 00:34:38,476

we talked about it before,

 

877

00:34:38,476 --> 00:34:39,510

but even Clearasil

 

878

00:34:39,510 --> 00:34:41,345

throwing Clearasil in the mix,

 

879

00:34:41,345 --> 00:34:41,746

you know,

 

880

00:34:41,746 --> 00:34:42,547

now all of a sudden

 

881

00:34:42,547 --> 00:34:45,016

we've got another product that we can

 

882

00:34:45,016 --> 00:34:46,050

do some tinting with.

 

883

00:34:46,050 --> 00:34:46,651

That's even going

 

884

00:34:46,651 --> 00:34:49,420

to get you a more crystal clear look.

 

885

00:34:49,420 --> 00:34:52,423

So the color schools,

 

886

00:34:52,623 --> 00:34:55,026

we do the bone, a glaze,

 

887

00:34:55,026 --> 00:34:59,197

which is mixing our paint our game

 

888

00:34:59,197 --> 00:35:03,434

like water based paint into colors.

 

889

00:35:03,501 --> 00:35:06,137

So you can make any type of seal or color

 

890

00:35:06,137 --> 00:35:08,306

that you need to make.

 

891

00:35:08,306 --> 00:35:11,876

We mix paints and stains.

 

892

00:35:11,976 --> 00:35:14,812

We do,

 

893

00:35:14,812 --> 00:35:16,347

you know, of course, natural

 

894

00:35:16,347 --> 00:35:19,217

Nordic amber seal.

 

895

00:35:19,217 --> 00:35:20,785

it's amazing what we can do

 

896

00:35:20,785 --> 00:35:21,853

with all those products

 

897

00:35:21,853 --> 00:35:24,856

as far as achieving different colors,

 

898

00:35:25,022 --> 00:35:25,656

different things.

 

899

00:35:25,656 --> 00:35:28,659

But what we really work on is,

 

900

00:35:28,860 --> 00:35:30,561

yeah, that's the easy part.

 

901

00:35:30,561 --> 00:35:31,629

You know, just showing somebody.

 

902

00:35:31,629 --> 00:35:33,564

Yeah, take a half cup of paint,

 

903

00:35:33,564 --> 00:35:36,834

half cup of gray paint,

 

904

00:35:36,934 --> 00:35:38,002

throw it in some intense

 

905

00:35:38,002 --> 00:35:39,036

zeal, and all of a sudden

 

906

00:35:39,036 --> 00:35:41,172

I've got a really nice looking,

 

907

00:35:41,172 --> 00:35:41,906

you know, sealer.

 

908

00:35:41,906 --> 00:35:43,975

Now we'll throw it and clear seal

 

909

00:35:43,975 --> 00:35:45,743

and we get a nice gray

 

910

00:35:45,743 --> 00:35:47,578

type of a Nordic seal product.

 

911

00:35:47,578 --> 00:35:50,081

You know, that's easy.

 

912

00:35:50,081 --> 00:35:51,182

That's the easy part.

 

913

00:35:51,182 --> 00:35:53,117

What we really focus on

 

914

00:35:53,117 --> 00:35:56,587

is the process, the techniques,

 

915

00:35:56,687 --> 00:35:59,857

the application of these things, because,

 

916

00:35:59,957 --> 00:36:01,659

you know, anybody can do the mix.

 

917

00:36:01,659 --> 00:36:02,793

It's getting it on the floor

 

918

00:36:02,793 --> 00:36:04,996

and making it look good, you know,

 

919

00:36:04,996 --> 00:36:06,030

And we just

 

920

00:36:06,030 --> 00:36:08,699

show some different tricks, especially

 

921

00:36:08,699 --> 00:36:10,134

herringbone parquet.

 

922

00:36:10,134 --> 00:36:11,102

You know, one of the tricks

 

923

00:36:11,102 --> 00:36:13,771

that we show at these color schools is

 

924

00:36:13,771 --> 00:36:15,840

and I got to give a shout out to Jeremiah

 

925

00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:16,874

because he was talking

 

926

00:36:16,874 --> 00:36:18,009

about this years ago,

 

927

00:36:18,009 --> 00:36:19,110

and I thought he was nuts

 

928

00:36:19,110 --> 00:36:22,113

until we got the memo from Sweden

 

929

00:36:22,180 --> 00:36:24,148

where we water popped the floor.

 

930

00:36:24,148 --> 00:36:27,151

Very nice, very even water pop,

 

931

00:36:27,285 --> 00:36:28,786

but don't let it dry

 

932

00:36:28,786 --> 00:36:31,155

and then pull the coat over.

 

933

00:36:31,155 --> 00:36:33,124

That bear would pull some of these tents

 

934

00:36:33,124 --> 00:36:36,894

in these colors, things like that. And

 

935

00:36:36,961 --> 00:36:38,796

this just

 

936

00:36:38,796 --> 00:36:40,631

you know, what that does

 

937

00:36:40,631 --> 00:36:44,302

is it blocks the sealer from the wood,

 

938

00:36:44,368 --> 00:36:45,503

sucking all the moisture

 

939

00:36:45,503 --> 00:36:47,104

because there's a lot of moisture

 

940

00:36:47,104 --> 00:36:48,940

in the wood already.

 

941

00:36:48,940 --> 00:36:50,841

And I'm going to give Jeremiah

 

942

00:36:50,841 --> 00:36:51,909

another shout out.

 

943

00:36:51,909 --> 00:36:53,077

I hope he's listening

 

944

00:36:53,077 --> 00:36:55,213

because you want to explain

 

945

00:36:55,213 --> 00:36:57,448

who this Jeremiah fellow is?

 

946

00:36:57,448 --> 00:36:59,684

there you would explain you do better.

 

947

00:36:59,684 --> 00:36:59,984

Yeah.

 

948

00:36:59,984 --> 00:37:01,619

Jeremiah Strong

 

949

00:37:01,619 --> 00:37:02,486

is the

 

950

00:37:02,486 --> 00:37:04,322

the territory manager

 

951

00:37:04,322 --> 00:37:05,756

out of Nashville, Tennessee,

 

952

00:37:05,756 --> 00:37:09,493

that has a lot of southern states for us.

 

953

00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,295

And he's the first guy I ever seen.

 

954

00:37:11,295 --> 00:37:12,897

I credit him with that, too.

 

955

00:37:12,897 --> 00:37:14,098

You have to give it up to him

 

956

00:37:14,098 --> 00:37:16,033

that this technique does work

 

957

00:37:16,033 --> 00:37:18,202

very well for.

 

958

00:37:18,202 --> 00:37:19,570

Yeah. And I thought he was nuts.

 

959

00:37:19,570 --> 00:37:20,771

I know he can't do that

 

960

00:37:20,771 --> 00:37:22,073

So yeah, I had to give it up.

 

961

00:37:22,073 --> 00:37:25,443

Jeremiah He invented that a long Yeah.

 

962

00:37:25,543 --> 00:37:28,479

those color schools, that's,

 

963

00:37:28,479 --> 00:37:30,014

you know, it's showing you

 

964

00:37:30,014 --> 00:37:31,015

that you can do it,

 

965

00:37:31,015 --> 00:37:33,050

but it's also showing you

 

966

00:37:33,050 --> 00:37:34,118

the different techniques

 

967

00:37:34,118 --> 00:37:36,354

and some of the tips and tricks.

 

968

00:37:36,354 --> 00:37:37,088

And, you know,

 

969

00:37:37,088 --> 00:37:38,189

sometimes it's easier

 

970

00:37:38,189 --> 00:37:40,691

just to put down a coat, a clear seal,

 

971

00:37:40,691 --> 00:37:41,926

and then lay your tents

 

972

00:37:41,926 --> 00:37:43,027

and everything on top.

 

973

00:37:43,027 --> 00:37:44,128

You're going to get a better.

 

974

00:37:44,128 --> 00:37:46,597

So that's what we really do at

 

975

00:37:46,597 --> 00:37:48,332

at these color schools.

 

976

00:37:48,332 --> 00:37:52,637

And they have been

 

977

00:37:52,737 --> 00:37:54,572

people want more and more of these.

 

978

00:37:54,572 --> 00:37:56,841

We're seeing that people want more

 

979

00:37:56,841 --> 00:37:57,908

and that school,

 

980

00:37:57,908 --> 00:38:00,044

we can usually bang out in a day.

 

981

00:38:00,044 --> 00:38:02,647

So we've gone into some distributors,

 

982

00:38:02,647 --> 00:38:04,849

we've even gone into some larger

 

983

00:38:04,849 --> 00:38:07,118

contractors own place and

 

984

00:38:07,118 --> 00:38:08,552

and did the hands on training

 

985

00:38:08,552 --> 00:38:09,320

right there.

 

986

00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,590

But the color schools have been

 

987

00:38:12,657 --> 00:38:15,026

very successful.

 

988

00:38:15,026 --> 00:38:16,294

Successful to the point

 

989

00:38:16,294 --> 00:38:18,729

we're going to see a lot more of these.

 

990

00:38:18,729 --> 00:38:19,897

You know,

 

991

00:38:19,897 --> 00:38:21,465

one of the things that we've done

 

992

00:38:21,465 --> 00:38:24,468

is we're talking to all the

 

993

00:38:24,468 --> 00:38:26,537

all the teams.

 

994

00:38:26,537 --> 00:38:29,040

And what we want to do is,

 

995

00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:29,273

you know,

 

996

00:38:29,273 --> 00:38:31,942

we talk about all these schools,

 

997

00:38:31,942 --> 00:38:34,945

but I think what we want to do this year

 

998

00:38:34,945 --> 00:38:37,915

is do a really great job of

 

999

00:38:37,915 --> 00:38:40,184

setting some dates

 

1000

00:38:40,184 --> 00:38:43,087

rather than, you know, okay, So if you

 

1001

00:38:43,087 --> 00:38:43,821

because if you

 

1002

00:38:43,821 --> 00:38:44,388

you know, let's say

 

1003

00:38:44,388 --> 00:38:45,956

you don't go to your distributor,

 

1004

00:38:45,956 --> 00:38:47,124

you just get deliveries

 

1005

00:38:47,124 --> 00:38:48,359

and things like that,

 

1006

00:38:48,359 --> 00:38:50,394

you might not know about these schools

 

1007

00:38:50,394 --> 00:38:50,928

and everything.

 

1008

00:38:50,928 --> 00:38:52,463

So I think we're going to do a really

 

1009

00:38:52,463 --> 00:38:55,733

good job this year of

 

1010

00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:57,234

when the color schools are

 

1011

00:38:57,234 --> 00:38:58,302

when the Scarboro

 

1012

00:38:58,302 --> 00:39:01,972

are when power drive schools are

 

1013

00:39:02,039 --> 00:39:05,309

Well, going back to the color school,

 

1014

00:39:05,376 --> 00:39:05,976

one of the

 

1015

00:39:05,976 --> 00:39:06,977

the cause flaws

 

1016

00:39:06,977 --> 00:39:09,780

that I was involved in was a

 

1017

00:39:09,780 --> 00:39:11,882

it was a mixing

 

1018

00:39:11,882 --> 00:39:15,219

intensive, I think 5050 with black paint

 

1019

00:39:15,319 --> 00:39:18,189

for the blackest floors I've ever seen.

 

1020

00:39:18,189 --> 00:39:20,358

It was incredible. It was beautiful.

 

1021

00:39:20,358 --> 00:39:21,692

And the nice thing about

 

1022

00:39:21,692 --> 00:39:22,993

it is when you do that,

 

1023

00:39:22,993 --> 00:39:25,029

if you ever had to sand that floor off,

 

1024

00:39:25,029 --> 00:39:26,597

if you ever seen an ebony floor off,

 

1025

00:39:26,597 --> 00:39:27,665

you know that Ebony is down

 

1026

00:39:27,665 --> 00:39:28,866

into that green man.

 

1027

00:39:28,866 --> 00:39:30,067

And you know, it's

 

1028

00:39:30,067 --> 00:39:31,435

hard to get all that back out

 

1029

00:39:31,435 --> 00:39:33,704

that back out again.

 

1030

00:39:33,704 --> 00:39:35,840

But these floors, you can see on and off

 

1031

00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:37,475

Snow White the road,

 

1032

00:39:37,475 --> 00:39:37,975

you know what I mean?

 

1033

00:39:37,975 --> 00:39:40,044

Because it doesn't have that same effect.

 

1034

00:39:40,044 --> 00:39:42,646

But we rolled it on

 

1035

00:39:42,713 --> 00:39:45,116

and my gosh, that floor was stunning.

 

1036

00:39:45,116 --> 00:39:46,117

What it's done is beautiful.

 

1037

00:39:46,117 --> 00:39:50,187

Black is black is could be so

 

1038

00:39:50,254 --> 00:39:52,823

I love that look on a wire brush floor.

 

1039

00:39:52,823 --> 00:39:57,228

I think that

 

1040

00:39:57,294 --> 00:39:59,463

Yeah, I agree

 

1041

00:39:59,463 --> 00:40:02,133

wire brush and that 6040 paint blend

 

1042

00:40:02,133 --> 00:40:04,034

with the intensity of crazy

 

1043

00:40:04,034 --> 00:40:05,169

how good that looks.

 

1044

00:40:05,169 --> 00:40:07,304

you look across that floor.

 

1045

00:40:07,304 --> 00:40:07,738

my God,

 

1046

00:40:07,738 --> 00:40:08,639

is that a good looking floor

 

1047

00:40:08,639 --> 00:40:11,542

When it's done by airbrush?

 

1048

00:40:11,542 --> 00:40:12,143

Yeah.

 

1049

00:40:12,143 --> 00:40:14,278

It also has a silvery look to it

 

1050

00:40:14,278 --> 00:40:14,745

when it's

 

1051

00:40:14,745 --> 00:40:17,615

when you look across is just stunning.

 

1052

00:40:17,615 --> 00:40:19,150

All right.

 

1053

00:40:19,150 --> 00:40:19,483

You know,

 

1054

00:40:19,483 --> 00:40:20,484

another school

 

1055

00:40:20,484 --> 00:40:23,421

that we did a few of last year

 

1056

00:40:23,421 --> 00:40:25,456

and I know we're going to do a lot more

 

1057

00:40:25,456 --> 00:40:28,459

this year is our kind of

 

1058

00:40:28,626 --> 00:40:29,660

I guess we could call it

 

1059

00:40:29,660 --> 00:40:32,596

the Advanced Power Drive School

 

1060

00:40:32,596 --> 00:41:24,148

So

 

1061

00:41:24,215 --> 00:41:26,784

yeah,

 

1062

00:41:26,784 --> 00:41:28,552

I put my brothers in that same category

 

1063

00:41:28,552 --> 00:41:29,920

where I keep seeing where they

 

1064

00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:30,387

they had it.

 

1065

00:41:30,387 --> 00:41:31,555

They really didn't know what they had.

 

1066

00:41:31,555 --> 00:41:32,356

And it sat

 

1067

00:41:32,356 --> 00:41:33,123

and they never really use it

 

1068

00:41:33,123 --> 00:41:34,658

until the weight came out.

 

1069

00:41:34,658 --> 00:41:35,993

And then when the other accessories

 

1070

00:41:35,993 --> 00:41:40,397

came out to the holy smokes and you know,

 

1071

00:41:40,464 --> 00:41:41,365

it's a big investment

 

1072

00:41:41,365 --> 00:41:43,167

for some to buy a power drive

 

1073

00:41:43,167 --> 00:41:44,268

and you want to make sure you're

 

1074

00:41:44,268 --> 00:41:45,703

getting all that you can out of

 

1075

00:41:45,703 --> 00:41:46,704

a, you know, the sequences

 

1076

00:41:46,704 --> 00:41:47,104

and everything.

 

1077

00:41:47,104 --> 00:41:47,972

And the nice thing about this

 

1078

00:41:47,972 --> 00:41:49,073

glass

 

1079

00:41:49,073 --> 00:41:49,773

is you're getting there

 

1080

00:41:49,773 --> 00:41:50,541

with a lot of people

 

1081

00:41:50,541 --> 00:41:52,409

that have a lot of different success

 

1082

00:41:52,409 --> 00:41:52,676

with it,

 

1083

00:41:52,676 --> 00:41:54,178

a lot of hours on their machines,

 

1084

00:41:54,178 --> 00:41:55,713

and it's kind of like

 

1085

00:41:55,713 --> 00:41:57,081

you put all these brains

 

1086

00:41:57,081 --> 00:41:58,048

in the same room of

 

1087

00:41:58,048 --> 00:41:59,683

I do this to get this result

 

1088

00:41:59,683 --> 00:42:01,585

and I'm using it this way and everything.

 

1089

00:42:01,585 --> 00:42:02,953

And that just makes for a lot of great

 

1090

00:42:02,953 --> 00:42:05,022

networking and discussion.

 

1091

00:42:05,022 --> 00:42:06,957

So yeah,

 

1092

00:42:06,957 --> 00:42:08,659

at another school

 

1093

00:42:08,659 --> 00:42:09,093

that I think

 

1094

00:42:09,093 --> 00:42:10,794

we're going to see a lot more of that.

 

1095

00:42:10,794 --> 00:42:13,764

We did we did, too last year

 

1096

00:42:13,998 --> 00:42:17,134

and I've already had a bunch of teams

 

1097

00:42:17,134 --> 00:42:17,868

talk to me about

 

1098

00:42:17,868 --> 00:42:20,371

they want to do one in their territory

 

1099

00:42:20,371 --> 00:42:21,872

are the

 

1100

00:42:21,939 --> 00:42:24,208

the power scrubber school

 

1101

00:42:24,208 --> 00:42:26,210

and you don't have to have

 

1102

00:42:26,210 --> 00:42:29,213

a power scrubber to go to this school.

 

1103

00:42:29,213 --> 00:42:30,247

But it was amazing

 

1104

00:42:30,247 --> 00:42:31,849

how many people came to these schools

 

1105

00:42:31,849 --> 00:42:33,918

that had power scrubbers.

 

1106

00:42:33,918 --> 00:42:34,818

And we're like, Wow,

 

1107

00:42:34,818 --> 00:42:36,120

I didn't know I could do with it.

 

1108

00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:37,421

I didn't know I could do that with it.

 

1109

00:42:37,421 --> 00:42:39,623

So it gave them some more ideas.

 

1110

00:42:39,623 --> 00:42:43,494

But really the focus on this is,

 

1111

00:42:43,561 --> 00:42:46,397

is removing bone

 

1112

00:42:46,397 --> 00:42:48,766

polish, removing paste wax,

 

1113

00:42:48,766 --> 00:42:50,267

removing Murphy's oil.

 

1114

00:42:50,267 --> 00:42:52,703

So we all run into these jobs,

 

1115

00:42:52,703 --> 00:42:54,872

you know, and Bone has got some

 

1116

00:42:54,872 --> 00:42:57,775

some amazing systems

 

1117

00:42:57,775 --> 00:42:58,842

that I never thought

 

1118

00:42:58,842 --> 00:43:00,578

we really talked about enough.

 

1119

00:43:00,578 --> 00:43:01,579

I mean, we talk about it

 

1120

00:43:01,579 --> 00:43:04,949

a little bit in the school, but

 

1121

00:43:05,015 --> 00:43:07,618

at these schools,

 

1122

00:43:07,618 --> 00:43:09,420

me and whatever team

 

1123

00:43:09,420 --> 00:43:11,188

will go in

 

1124

00:43:11,188 --> 00:43:11,522

the day

 

1125

00:43:11,522 --> 00:43:13,090

before the school is going to start

 

1126

00:43:13,090 --> 00:43:15,392

and we destroy the place.

 

1127

00:43:15,459 --> 00:43:16,760

We put down Murphy's oil.

 

1128

00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:19,430

So we put down

 

1129

00:43:19,430 --> 00:43:20,297

paste wax.

 

1130

00:43:20,297 --> 00:43:21,065

We put down,

 

1131

00:43:21,065 --> 00:43:25,469

you know what, a bone, a polish.

 

1132

00:43:25,536 --> 00:43:27,504

No, I think I might have said this before

 

1133

00:43:27,504 --> 00:43:29,740

one of the shows, but

 

1134

00:43:29,740 --> 00:43:30,841

I've never understood

 

1135

00:43:30,841 --> 00:43:32,910

why people use all this mop and glow.

 

1136

00:43:32,910 --> 00:43:33,844

I never understood why

 

1137

00:43:33,844 --> 00:43:35,713

people use this crap in their floors.

 

1138

00:43:35,713 --> 00:43:37,414

Right.

 

1139

00:43:37,414 --> 00:43:38,983

And Jeremiah,

 

1140

00:43:38,983 --> 00:43:40,250

the guy you were talking about down

 

1141

00:43:40,250 --> 00:43:41,552

in Asheville,

 

1142

00:43:41,552 --> 00:43:43,787

Jeremie and I did the first one

 

1143

00:43:43,787 --> 00:43:45,322

at his place,

 

1144

00:43:45,322 --> 00:43:48,492

and we coated all these floors as all.

 

1145

00:43:48,492 --> 00:43:50,127

And we read the directions, man.

 

1146

00:43:50,127 --> 00:43:51,996

I mean, we did everything by the book

 

1147

00:43:51,996 --> 00:43:53,564

with all these

 

1148

00:43:53,564 --> 00:43:54,999

crappy products that we tell

 

1149

00:43:54,999 --> 00:43:57,368

people do not use.

 

1150

00:43:57,368 --> 00:44:00,371

Well, we came in the next day

 

1151

00:44:00,404 --> 00:44:02,306

and I looked at him, he looked at me.

 

1152

00:44:02,306 --> 00:44:04,274

I go, okay, I get it.

 

1153

00:44:04,274 --> 00:44:05,209

Now I understand

 

1154

00:44:05,209 --> 00:44:06,644

why people use this stuff.

 

1155

00:44:06,644 --> 00:44:10,414

It look amazing. It look great,

 

1156

00:44:10,481 --> 00:44:13,484

smell great, smell clean.

 

1157

00:44:13,584 --> 00:44:16,787

It was it was an eye opening experience,

 

1158

00:44:16,854 --> 00:44:17,221

you know?

 

1159

00:44:17,221 --> 00:44:18,822

But the issue that you run into,

 

1160

00:44:18,822 --> 00:44:20,424

it looks good for a while.

 

1161

00:44:20,424 --> 00:44:22,126

And then people start adding

 

1162

00:44:22,126 --> 00:44:25,129

more and more of these, you know, buildup

 

1163

00:44:25,129 --> 00:44:25,863

type products

 

1164

00:44:25,863 --> 00:44:26,363

that are all

 

1165

00:44:26,363 --> 00:44:28,766

going to be a bond breaker someday.

 

1166

00:44:28,766 --> 00:44:31,402

So but it did give us

 

1167

00:44:31,402 --> 00:44:32,269

a little understanding

 

1168

00:44:32,269 --> 00:44:33,170

of why people do it,

 

1169

00:44:33,170 --> 00:44:35,239

because it looked and smelled great.

 

1170

00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:36,340

You know,

 

1171

00:44:36,340 --> 00:44:37,274

their house

 

1172

00:44:37,274 --> 00:44:38,542

is going to look and smell clean.

 

1173

00:44:38,542 --> 00:44:39,576

So

 

1174

00:44:39,576 --> 00:44:41,178

so with these classes,

 

1175

00:44:41,178 --> 00:44:41,812

like I said,

 

1176

00:44:41,812 --> 00:44:43,414

we go in the day before

 

1177

00:44:43,414 --> 00:44:44,114

they're going to class,

 

1178

00:44:44,114 --> 00:44:45,115

going to start

 

1179

00:44:45,115 --> 00:44:46,283

coat all the floors

 

1180

00:44:46,283 --> 00:44:48,519

with all these bad contaminants.

 

1181

00:44:48,519 --> 00:44:50,921

And then we spend the next two days

 

1182

00:44:50,921 --> 00:44:53,023

showing you how to remove it

 

1183

00:44:53,023 --> 00:44:54,458

and then coat it.

 

1184

00:44:54,458 --> 00:44:57,461

So like day one is removing stuff

 

1185

00:44:57,695 --> 00:45:00,464

and then they too is,

 

1186

00:45:00,464 --> 00:45:01,365

you know, the coating

 

1187

00:45:01,365 --> 00:45:02,833

over all these different products

 

1188

00:45:02,833 --> 00:45:07,805

that we've eliminated.

 

1189

00:45:07,905 --> 00:45:10,474

And of course, we touch on,

 

1190

00:45:10,474 --> 00:45:10,774

you know,

 

1191

00:45:10,774 --> 00:45:12,109

do a lot with a power scrubber,

 

1192

00:45:12,109 --> 00:45:12,743

show them different

 

1193

00:45:12,743 --> 00:45:13,844

brushes, the red brush,

 

1194

00:45:13,844 --> 00:45:16,013

the white brush, the deep clean system,

 

1195

00:45:16,013 --> 00:45:17,081

all that stuff.

 

1196

00:45:17,081 --> 00:45:20,584

So it's pretty it's a pretty cool school.

 

1197

00:45:20,651 --> 00:45:23,987

And we've just had

 

1198

00:45:24,054 --> 00:45:26,423

every time we put one out there,

 

1199

00:45:26,423 --> 00:45:30,027

the seats get filled up really quick

 

1200

00:45:30,094 --> 00:45:33,363

I just had

 

1201

00:45:33,430 --> 00:45:35,099

a text message

 

1202

00:45:35,099 --> 00:45:38,769

the day after Christmas from somebody

 

1203

00:45:38,869 --> 00:45:41,004

says, I wanna help you and you hope

 

1204

00:45:41,004 --> 00:45:42,172

you had a fabulous Christmas.

 

1205

00:45:42,172 --> 00:45:43,073

My associate at work

 

1206

00:45:43,073 --> 00:45:45,476

is having problems with her hardwood.

 

1207

00:45:45,476 --> 00:45:46,376

This is what she did.

 

1208

00:45:46,376 --> 00:45:46,777

First,

 

1209

00:45:46,777 --> 00:45:48,612

a moved with robot machine,

 

1210

00:45:48,612 --> 00:45:50,514

and Murphy's oil

 

1211

00:45:50,514 --> 00:45:53,283

got sticky same day,

 

1212

00:45:53,283 --> 00:45:54,818

remapped the machine

 

1213

00:45:54,818 --> 00:45:56,854

and shark concentrate

 

1214

00:45:56,854 --> 00:45:57,454

was a little bit

 

1215

00:45:57,454 --> 00:45:58,055

or same day

 

1216

00:45:58,055 --> 00:46:01,058

mopped with hot water and vinegar.

 

1217

00:46:01,091 --> 00:46:01,859

Second day

 

1218

00:46:01,859 --> 00:46:04,061

mopped with hot water and vinegar.

 

1219

00:46:04,061 --> 00:46:05,763

They had it cloudy and hazy.

 

1220

00:46:05,763 --> 00:46:07,164

It was there, cloudy and hazy.

 

1221

00:46:07,164 --> 00:46:07,998

I told her Murphy's

 

1222

00:46:07,998 --> 00:46:09,633

oil soap is a no no

 

1223

00:46:09,633 --> 00:46:11,001

and hot water is a no no.

 

1224

00:46:11,001 --> 00:46:12,569

And I've been out of the business

 

1225

00:46:12,569 --> 00:46:14,004

for seven years.

 

1226

00:46:14,004 --> 00:46:14,605

She has five.

 

1227

00:46:14,605 --> 00:46:17,975

And so any suggestions

 

1228

00:46:18,041 --> 00:46:18,942

So I mean

 

1229

00:46:18,942 --> 00:46:21,945

I mean we get these calls every day

 

1230

00:46:22,012 --> 00:46:23,814

Yeah yeah yeah.

 

1231

00:46:23,814 --> 00:46:26,083

So I mean there you go.

 

1232

00:46:26,083 --> 00:46:26,950

So

 

1233

00:46:26,950 --> 00:46:29,453

and Jeremiah Strong that you mentioned

 

1234

00:46:29,453 --> 00:46:30,387

that that class

 

1235

00:46:30,387 --> 00:46:31,622

I talked to him

 

1236

00:46:31,622 --> 00:46:32,823

after you guys had this class

 

1237

00:46:32,823 --> 00:46:34,391

before I talked to you.

 

1238

00:46:34,391 --> 00:46:35,659

And I say, man,

 

1239

00:46:35,659 --> 00:46:36,660

are you doing getting cut up?

 

1240

00:46:36,660 --> 00:46:38,462

And he goes, Hey, we just had this class.

 

1241

00:46:38,462 --> 00:46:39,329

And he was like, Man,

 

1242

00:46:39,329 --> 00:46:40,664

you can't believe

 

1243

00:46:40,664 --> 00:46:42,432

how bad this machine is, man.

 

1244

00:46:42,432 --> 00:46:43,801

And this it was.

 

1245

00:46:43,801 --> 00:46:44,201

He goes,

 

1246

00:46:44,201 --> 00:46:46,804

I was not excited about doing the class

 

1247

00:46:46,804 --> 00:46:49,039

until we got halfway through it.

 

1248

00:46:49,039 --> 00:46:49,540

And that man,

 

1249

00:46:49,540 --> 00:46:51,341

we should be doing these all the time

 

1250

00:46:51,341 --> 00:46:53,577

it's amazing what we took off that floor

 

1251

00:46:53,577 --> 00:46:55,612

and you didn't even get into.

 

1252

00:46:55,612 --> 00:46:57,347

I don't know if you guys did it at all.

 

1253

00:46:57,347 --> 00:47:00,384

Our our boner remover system

 

1254

00:47:00,484 --> 00:47:01,084

that you

 

1255

00:47:01,084 --> 00:47:02,419

touched on that We

 

1256

00:47:02,419 --> 00:47:04,121

we do all of our removals.

 

1257

00:47:04,121 --> 00:47:05,622

We do.

 

1258

00:47:05,622 --> 00:47:06,924

You know, we show you exactly

 

1259

00:47:06,924 --> 00:47:08,425

because it's all hands on.

 

1260

00:47:08,425 --> 00:47:39,857

It's no, good.

 

1261

00:47:39,923 --> 00:47:42,025

if I was a contractor and I had,

 

1262

00:47:42,025 --> 00:47:42,726

you know,

 

1263

00:47:42,726 --> 00:47:43,927

a client called me and said, hey,

 

1264

00:47:43,927 --> 00:47:44,761

I've got this on my floor

 

1265

00:47:44,761 --> 00:47:45,729

and blah, blah, blah,

 

1266

00:47:45,729 --> 00:47:47,431

not all I would be able to say this is

 

1267

00:47:47,431 --> 00:47:48,665

I have the solution for this.

 

1268

00:47:48,665 --> 00:47:49,733

We have the products in

 

1269

00:47:49,733 --> 00:47:50,500

the knowledge to do this.

 

1270

00:47:50,500 --> 00:47:52,002

But I also took the time out

 

1271

00:47:52,002 --> 00:47:55,005

to went to a school, to go to a school,

 

1272

00:47:55,105 --> 00:47:56,506

to learn from the manufacturer

 

1273

00:47:56,506 --> 00:47:57,641

exactly what we can do

 

1274

00:47:57,641 --> 00:47:59,376

and how to get this stuff off.

 

1275

00:47:59,376 --> 00:48:00,477

I mean, that's

 

1276

00:48:00,477 --> 00:48:01,712

how much we care

 

1277

00:48:01,712 --> 00:48:02,579

about our clients

 

1278

00:48:02,579 --> 00:48:04,181

and our business and blah, blah, blah.

 

1279

00:48:04,181 --> 00:48:06,016

Who are you going to go with?

 

1280

00:48:06,083 --> 00:48:06,717

You know what I mean?

 

1281

00:48:06,717 --> 00:48:10,087

Who are you going to hire to do that job?

 

1282

00:48:10,187 --> 00:48:10,854

I've said this.

 

1283

00:48:10,854 --> 00:48:13,523

I mean, Go ahead.

 

1284

00:48:13,523 --> 00:48:15,926

thank you,

 

1285

00:48:15,926 --> 00:48:16,460

because it's probably

 

1286

00:48:16,460 --> 00:48:17,094

gonna be more important

 

1287

00:48:17,094 --> 00:48:18,662

than what you were going to say,

 

1288

00:48:18,662 --> 00:48:19,997

but yeah.

 

1289

00:48:19,997 --> 00:48:21,031

Thank you. You.

 

1290

00:48:21,031 --> 00:48:21,832

You acquiesced.

 

1291

00:48:21,832 --> 00:48:24,434

Yeah, I've.

 

1292

00:48:24,434 --> 00:48:25,903

Yeah,

 

1293

00:48:25,903 --> 00:48:26,737

I'm not even sure

 

1294

00:48:26,737 --> 00:48:29,706

I know exactly what it means, but my my,

 

1295

00:48:29,706 --> 00:48:32,075

my father in law, my father in law

 

1296

00:48:32,075 --> 00:48:33,610

made all money in life

 

1297

00:48:33,610 --> 00:48:35,545

because he saved money.

 

1298

00:48:35,545 --> 00:48:37,948

And any money he made any money he made

 

1299

00:48:37,948 --> 00:48:39,716

because he was very frugal with his money

 

1300

00:48:39,716 --> 00:48:41,418

and he saved his money.

 

1301

00:48:41,418 --> 00:48:43,553

So when I Julie and I got married,

 

1302

00:48:43,553 --> 00:48:45,289

he would see me buying machines and.

 

1303

00:48:45,289 --> 00:48:46,590

SANDERS And buying more.

 

1304

00:48:46,590 --> 00:48:48,725

Sanders And put more money into it

 

1305

00:48:48,725 --> 00:48:50,727

just above or whatever in you guys.

 

1306

00:48:50,727 --> 00:48:51,662

I mean, how much did this guy

 

1307

00:48:51,662 --> 00:48:52,696

she you're spending all this money.

 

1308

00:48:52,696 --> 00:48:53,597

Well, but

 

1309

00:48:53,597 --> 00:48:54,631

what he didn't understand

 

1310

00:48:54,631 --> 00:48:56,867

is that I made money.

 

1311

00:48:56,867 --> 00:48:58,101

Everything was an investment

 

1312

00:48:58,101 --> 00:48:58,702

in the business.

 

1313

00:48:58,702 --> 00:49:00,137

And every every tool I bought,

 

1314

00:49:00,137 --> 00:49:01,038

I made money off of.

 

1315

00:49:01,038 --> 00:49:02,239

And that's how I made money.

 

1316

00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:03,507

I spent the money on it.

 

1317

00:49:03,507 --> 00:49:06,777

If it made sense,

 

1318

00:49:06,843 --> 00:49:08,545

I would buy the tool.

 

1319

00:49:08,545 --> 00:49:09,746

I'd buy quality tools.

 

1320

00:49:09,746 --> 00:49:11,381

I didn't have to buy it twice.

 

1321

00:49:11,381 --> 00:49:12,382

I invest in it.

 

1322

00:49:12,382 --> 00:49:13,417

I would make money out of it.

 

1323

00:49:13,417 --> 00:49:14,685

And that's how I made money.

 

1324

00:49:14,685 --> 00:49:15,719

You know what I mean?

 

1325

00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,221

So, you know, investing in a class

 

1326

00:49:18,221 --> 00:49:18,722

like this,

 

1327

00:49:18,722 --> 00:49:22,092

investing in a tool like a power scrubber

 

1328

00:49:22,192 --> 00:49:23,026

definitely pays off.

 

1329

00:49:23,026 --> 00:49:24,494

And you built that part of that,

 

1330

00:49:24,494 --> 00:49:25,062

too, Man,

 

1331

00:49:25,062 --> 00:49:26,330

I always

 

1332

00:49:26,330 --> 00:49:28,532

part of that, too, is to be able to

 

1333

00:49:28,532 --> 00:49:30,100

to have a conversation

 

1334

00:49:30,100 --> 00:49:32,669

with your client that listen.

 

1335

00:49:32,669 --> 00:49:33,403

Yeah, the phone

 

1336

00:49:33,403 --> 00:49:35,105

book is full of floor guys,

 

1337

00:49:35,105 --> 00:49:38,108

but as it pertains to this,

 

1338

00:49:38,175 --> 00:49:40,944

you know, we we understand these products

 

1339

00:49:40,944 --> 00:49:41,545

we went to

 

1340

00:49:41,545 --> 00:49:42,779

we took the time out,

 

1341

00:49:42,779 --> 00:49:44,748

we flew to the school,

 

1342

00:49:44,748 --> 00:49:45,382

we went to the school.

 

1343

00:49:45,382 --> 00:49:46,650

We spent the three day school

 

1344

00:49:46,650 --> 00:49:48,318

and learned exactly the process

 

1345

00:49:48,318 --> 00:49:49,820

from the manufacturer.

 

1346

00:49:49,820 --> 00:49:51,188

We have the tools to do this.

 

1347

00:49:51,188 --> 00:49:51,888

And yes,

 

1348

00:49:51,888 --> 00:49:52,356

I mean, we're

 

1349

00:49:52,356 --> 00:49:54,257

we're the qualified people to do it.

 

1350

00:49:54,257 --> 00:49:55,025

We just don't know

 

1351

00:49:55,025 --> 00:49:55,859

how you would go with somebody

 

1352

00:49:55,859 --> 00:49:57,861

else if you were if you're

 

1353

00:49:57,928 --> 00:49:59,062

now that I'm

 

1354

00:49:59,062 --> 00:50:02,866

I'm I just had somebody build my deck

 

1355

00:50:02,933 --> 00:50:04,401

and I'm seeing it.

 

1356

00:50:04,401 --> 00:50:06,069

I used to do these things all myself.

 

1357

00:50:06,069 --> 00:50:07,971

I used to, you know,

 

1358

00:50:07,971 --> 00:50:09,473

younger me would have built that deck.

 

1359

00:50:09,473 --> 00:50:10,807

I would have done it myself

 

1360

00:50:10,807 --> 00:50:13,810

and I would now I'm having to

 

1361

00:50:13,877 --> 00:50:14,978

hire people to things

 

1362

00:50:14,978 --> 00:50:16,413

that I would normally do.

 

1363

00:50:16,413 --> 00:50:18,181

And I'm on the other side of it now.

 

1364

00:50:18,181 --> 00:50:19,282

And I see the other side of it.

 

1365

00:50:19,282 --> 00:50:20,751

And the guy who built my desk,

 

1366

00:50:20,751 --> 00:50:23,086

he did a good job.

 

1367

00:50:23,086 --> 00:50:26,056

Some things I would have done better.

 

1368

00:50:26,056 --> 00:50:26,823

You know,

 

1369

00:50:26,823 --> 00:50:29,092

I really it's just it's the truth.

 

1370

00:50:29,092 --> 00:50:31,661

And he got done a couple days early, so.

 

1371

00:50:31,661 --> 00:50:32,429

Okay,

 

1372

00:50:32,429 --> 00:50:34,765

you could have put that time into this,

 

1373

00:50:34,765 --> 00:50:35,499

you know what I mean?

 

1374

00:50:35,499 --> 00:50:37,534

And but but you didn't.

 

1375

00:50:37,534 --> 00:50:38,835

And I noticed those things

 

1376

00:50:38,835 --> 00:50:40,137

now, so I don't know, man.

 

1377

00:50:40,137 --> 00:50:43,407

As if I'm dealing with contractors

 

1378

00:50:43,473 --> 00:50:44,574

and they can tell me this

 

1379

00:50:44,574 --> 00:50:45,509

and blah, blah, blah,

 

1380

00:50:45,509 --> 00:50:46,843

their price goes up.

 

1381

00:50:46,843 --> 00:50:48,345

I am more than happy to pay it

 

1382

00:50:48,345 --> 00:50:49,913

if the guy is qualified

 

1383

00:50:49,913 --> 00:50:51,915

and shows me a reason why I always say

 

1384

00:50:51,915 --> 00:50:53,617

people will part with their money.

 

1385

00:50:53,617 --> 00:50:54,718

They will absolutely part

 

1386

00:50:54,718 --> 00:50:55,719

with their money.

 

1387

00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:58,255

If you can show them the quality

 

1388

00:50:58,255 --> 00:51:00,424

of the product in why

 

1389

00:51:00,424 --> 00:51:01,892

you give them a good reason to do it,

 

1390

00:51:01,892 --> 00:51:02,993

they'll do it.

 

1391

00:51:02,993 --> 00:51:03,560

Yeah.

 

1392

00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:06,496

I hate people working on my house.

 

1393

00:51:06,563 --> 00:51:07,764

I hate it.

 

1394

00:51:07,764 --> 00:51:22,079

I've got such a good, good.

 

1395

00:51:22,145 --> 00:51:23,046

Yeah.

 

1396

00:51:23,046 --> 00:51:23,747

yeah.

 

1397

00:51:23,747 --> 00:51:32,289

it, you know?

 

1398

00:51:32,389 --> 00:51:35,358

Well, Rob, we're getting up against it,

 

1399

00:51:35,358 --> 00:51:37,494

so. Good stuff.

 

1400

00:51:37,494 --> 00:51:37,928

I'm glad.

 

1401

00:51:37,928 --> 00:51:39,029

I'm glad to see you excited

 

1402

00:51:39,029 --> 00:51:39,729

about the new year.

 

1403

00:51:39,729 --> 00:51:40,997

The school is coming up and everything.

 

1404

00:51:40,997 --> 00:51:42,099

You always are.

 

1405

00:51:42,099 --> 00:51:42,532

You know,

 

1406

00:51:42,532 --> 00:51:44,701

when they cut the schools in half,

 

1407

00:51:44,701 --> 00:51:47,704

I was like, my gosh.

 

1408

00:51:47,938 --> 00:51:48,972

Wow, How are we going

 

1409

00:51:48,972 --> 00:51:50,740

to fill all this time? You know?

 

1410

00:51:50,740 --> 00:51:52,843

And now it's like,

 

1411

00:51:52,843 --> 00:51:55,345

you know, the last

 

1412

00:51:55,345 --> 00:51:57,180

I did this year,

 

1413

00:51:57,180 --> 00:52:00,016

I mean, coming up to Christmas, we did

 

1414

00:52:00,016 --> 00:52:04,020

15 schools in 16 weeks,

 

1415

00:52:04,087 --> 00:52:18,034

It's a lot.

 

1416

00:52:18,101 --> 00:52:26,676

And

 

1417

00:52:26,776 --> 00:52:27,511

and keep in mind

 

1418

00:52:27,511 --> 00:52:29,146

that we are bringing these schools

 

1419

00:52:29,146 --> 00:52:30,347

to to the contractors.

 

1420

00:52:30,347 --> 00:52:31,081

In a lot of cases,

 

1421

00:52:31,081 --> 00:52:32,482

we don't just have the one location

 

1422

00:52:32,482 --> 00:52:33,884

we have all across the country.

 

1423

00:52:33,884 --> 00:52:35,252

We're doing these schools.

 

1424

00:52:35,252 --> 00:52:36,586

So look at.

 

1425

00:52:36,586 --> 00:52:39,322

was talking about, we did it.

 

1426

00:52:39,389 --> 00:52:40,924

We did some with distributors,

 

1427

00:52:40,924 --> 00:52:42,726

we did some in our training centers.

 

1428

00:52:42,726 --> 00:52:44,561

We took the show

 

1429

00:52:44,561 --> 00:52:46,763

right into some of these contractors

 

1430

00:52:46,763 --> 00:52:47,964

who had, you know, a large

 

1431

00:52:47,964 --> 00:52:50,100

enough space for us to come in.

 

1432

00:52:50,100 --> 00:52:51,001

So, yeah,
