00:00:36,669 --> 00:00:39,072

You mind standing up on the flag?

 

13

00:00:39,139 --> 00:00:41,174

It's my festive take.

 

14

00:00:41,174 --> 00:00:42,442

Oh, it's nice shirt.

 

15

00:00:42,442 --> 00:00:44,611

23

00:00:59,225 --> 00:01:00,060

24

00:01:00,060 --> 00:01:01,561

I actually think that there's,

 

32

00:01:16,743 --> 00:01:19,846

there's more

to celebrate this year for you right now.

 

33

00:01:19,913 --> 00:01:22,115

Other than the 4th of July,

you will talk about that.

 

34

00:01:22,315 --> 00:01:23,450

Yeah, well, let's try.

 

35

00:01:23,450 --> 00:01:25,418

I am a little tired

 

36

00:01:26,553 --> 00:01:27,754

Got the call last night.

 

37

00:01:27,754 --> 00:01:32,692

I don't know, about two,

3:00 in the morning that Rebecca had her

 

38

00:01:32,692 --> 00:01:36,663

baby girl, Charlotte O'Neill, McSweeney

 

39

00:01:38,131 --> 00:01:40,934

40

00:01:41,568 --> 00:01:43,603

18 inches?

 

41

00:01:43,603 --> 00:01:45,338

Yes. Give her a bell.

 

42

00:01:45,338 --> 00:01:46,639

Absolutely.

 

43

00:01:47,507 --> 00:01:51,010

Mother, baby

and father are all very doing very well.

 

44

00:01:51,010 --> 00:01:53,079

They're a little tired. Nice.

 

45

00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,883

You know, the real cool thing

 

46

00:01:57,250 --> 00:02:01,087

my father in law

today is my father in law's birthday.

 

47

00:02:01,087 --> 00:02:03,957

And Pauline's dad was just

 

48

00:02:04,924 --> 00:02:07,260

one of the greatest guys you'd ever meet.

 

49

00:02:07,260 --> 00:02:09,395

He was chief of police for Conrail.

 

50

00:02:10,597 --> 00:02:12,632

Just just from the

 

51

00:02:12,632 --> 00:02:15,301

first day I met him,

even before I was dating Pauline.

 

52

00:02:16,035 --> 00:02:16,836

What a great guy.

 

53

00:02:16,836 --> 00:02:22,275

Well, he passed away a cancer a few years

ago, and today was his birthday.

 

54

00:02:22,275 --> 00:02:24,511

So what a day for his great granddaughter.

 

55

00:02:24,511 --> 00:02:27,480

To be born on. I mean, it was.

Holy smokes.

 

56

00:02:27,647 --> 00:02:28,615

I know.

 

57

00:02:28,615 --> 00:02:30,783

It sent chills up there.

 

58

00:02:30,783 --> 00:02:33,786

Paulie and I spy.

Yeah. Oh, it's very cool.

 

59

00:02:34,187 --> 00:02:35,455

Yeah. I know.

 

60

00:02:35,455 --> 00:02:36,656

I couldn't believe it.

 

61

00:02:36,656 --> 00:02:38,858

I mean, as soon as.

 

62

00:02:39,392 --> 00:02:42,061

As soon as we heard, you know, like three

or 4:00 in the morning.

 

63

00:02:42,061 --> 00:02:45,665

Pauline tells me, you know what?

 

64

00:02:45,665 --> 00:02:48,001

Today would have been my dad's birthday.

 

65

00:02:48,001 --> 00:02:50,136

I'm like, Oh, my God. What?

 

66

00:02:50,136 --> 00:02:51,037

What a great day.

 

67

00:02:51,037 --> 00:02:53,373

I mean, what a day for that kid to be,

 

68

00:02:53,373 --> 00:02:57,177

you know, because everybody always looked

at this kind of a sad day as Mr.

 

69

00:02:57,177 --> 00:02:58,411

Van around anymore.

 

70

00:02:59,412 --> 00:03:02,482

And and so now we get

 

71

00:03:03,082 --> 00:03:05,552

we get number

five Got my first grand daughter.

 

72

00:03:06,452 --> 00:03:08,454

That's fantastic. Congratulations.

 

73

00:03:08,454 --> 00:03:10,957

Four boys, one girl. Yeah.

Thank you very much.

 

74

00:03:10,957 --> 00:03:11,758

Appreciate it.

 

75

00:03:11,758 --> 00:03:13,693

I know it is going to be

should be over the top.

 

76

00:03:13,693 --> 00:03:15,962

Oh. I haven't seen her all day.

 

77

00:03:15,962 --> 00:03:17,163

And that

 

78

00:03:20,833 --> 00:03:21,067

you know,

 

79

00:03:21,067 --> 00:03:23,136

I've never been a godfather to anybody,

 

80

00:03:24,170 --> 00:03:27,073

and I know I've never met her at all.

 

81

00:03:27,540 --> 00:03:29,576

So, you know.

 

82

00:03:29,576 --> 00:03:31,711

You just thrown your name out there, huh?

 

83

00:03:31,711 --> 00:03:33,646

I've seen in an application.

 

84

00:03:33,646 --> 00:03:36,082

Yeah. Yeah. I'll.

 

85

00:03:36,082 --> 00:03:38,318

I'll definitely

talk to the kids about that.

 

86

00:03:38,318 --> 00:03:39,452

Why not?

 

87

00:03:39,586 --> 00:03:41,287

They're very real responsive.

 

88

00:03:41,287 --> 00:03:43,489

They comply with the Godfather.

 

89

00:03:43,489 --> 00:03:45,925

There's a legal thing, like.

 

90

00:03:45,925 --> 00:03:49,629

I think if the parents pass away,

the Godfathers

 

91

00:03:49,629 --> 00:03:54,300

job is to make sure the child is

brought up Catholic.

 

92

00:03:54,467 --> 00:03:55,802

I think that's the whole

 

93

00:03:57,003 --> 00:03:59,138

thing about being a godfather.

 

94

00:03:59,138 --> 00:04:00,540

I think I could do that.

 

95

00:04:00,540 --> 00:04:02,041

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

 

96

00:04:02,041 --> 00:04:04,010

Just call her, you know, once a month.

 

97

00:04:04,010 --> 00:04:06,746

You go to church. Yep. Okay. You're good.

 

98

00:04:07,247 --> 00:04:08,548

Yeah. Checking it.

 

99

00:04:08,548 --> 00:04:08,848

Yeah.

 

100

00:04:08,848 --> 00:04:14,554

Yeah, I could be wrong about that, but I

thought that was the one godparents duty.

 

101

00:04:15,421 --> 00:04:16,990

I think that's probably the case.

 

102

00:04:16,990 --> 00:04:17,957

But also, there's, like,

 

103

00:04:17,957 --> 00:04:21,194

implied things that you need

that you should be around for.

 

104

00:04:21,694 --> 00:04:23,997

And I don't know

if I could commit to those.

 

105

00:04:25,064 --> 00:04:28,067

So it's a lot of

you got to give extra gifts.

 

106

00:04:28,067 --> 00:04:29,102

That's the deal.

 

107

00:04:29,102 --> 00:04:30,003

Yeah. Yeah.

 

108

00:04:30,003 --> 00:04:30,870

So they'd be looking.

 

109

00:04:30,870 --> 00:04:34,274

I mean, if you if you get the nod,

 

110

00:04:34,274 --> 00:04:36,342

they're going to be looking stuff.

 

111

00:04:36,809 --> 00:04:37,443

Well,

 

112

00:04:39,212 --> 00:04:42,649

is it okay?

 

113

00:04:43,716 --> 00:04:44,250

Seriously?

 

114

00:04:44,250 --> 00:04:46,085

Congratulations, man. That is awesome.

 

115

00:04:46,085 --> 00:04:48,054

Is that the first granddaughter?

 

116

00:04:48,054 --> 00:04:49,322

That is, yeah.

 

117

00:04:49,322 --> 00:04:53,359

She's number five,

but she's the first granddaughter. So.

 

118

00:04:53,693 --> 00:04:54,861

Awesome. Awesome.

 

119

00:04:56,362 --> 00:04:56,763

I don't know.

 

120

00:04:56,763 --> 00:04:58,831

I don't

know when this is ever going to end.

 

121

00:04:58,831 --> 00:05:00,900

I don't know how many we can end up with.

 

122

00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:03,102

A dozen? Yeah.

 

123

00:05:03,102 --> 00:05:04,771

I don't know where it's going to go.

 

124

00:05:04,771 --> 00:05:06,272

Oh, it'd be nice.

 

125

00:05:07,607 --> 00:05:08,274

All right.

 

126

00:05:08,474 --> 00:05:10,710

You know, one more thing.

 

127

00:05:10,710 --> 00:05:13,079

I'm pretty sure this puts me in the parent

hall of Fame.

 

128

00:05:15,114 --> 00:05:16,482

Another hall of Famer.

 

129

00:05:16,482 --> 00:05:18,351

Another Hall of Fame for me.

 

130

00:05:18,351 --> 00:05:20,453

Definitely parent Hall of Fame.

 

131

00:05:20,453 --> 00:05:21,854

All three of my kids are married.

 

132

00:05:21,854 --> 00:05:24,324

I own a home, have a job,

and now I have kids.

 

133

00:05:24,691 --> 00:05:27,293

So I. I've used them.

 

134

00:05:27,794 --> 00:05:30,730

I said to Pauline this morning,

I go, We've really done our job.

 

135

00:05:30,730 --> 00:05:32,065

We can just check out now.

 

136

00:05:32,065 --> 00:05:35,301

We're we're good. We've done it.

 

137

00:05:35,301 --> 00:05:37,537

Yeah. Now you can be a pain in the ass.

 

138

00:05:39,238 --> 00:05:41,474

Now you can

go around and make them feel guilty, and.

 

139

00:05:41,774 --> 00:05:45,211

They'll all say, oh,

he's he's going to start now.

 

140

00:05:45,311 --> 00:05:49,015

He's been it's

been like this for 40 years.

 

141

00:05:50,049 --> 00:05:51,651

Well, congrats.

 

142

00:05:51,651 --> 00:05:53,353

Okay, thank you very much.

 

143

00:05:53,353 --> 00:05:53,853

That's great.

 

144

00:05:53,853 --> 00:05:55,922

We're very excited.

 

145

00:05:55,922 --> 00:05:58,124

That truly happy for you.

I know that means a lot to you.

 

146

00:05:58,124 --> 00:06:00,660

How much of a family guy you are

 

147

00:06:02,362 --> 00:06:04,430

Okay, so robbery

 

148

00:06:04,430 --> 00:06:07,567

or do you believe it's been three years

that we done podcast

 

149

00:06:09,936 --> 00:06:11,738

I wonder how many and what

 

150

00:06:11,738 --> 00:06:15,808

the average in length of podcasts

are that actually that do him as me

 

151

00:06:15,808 --> 00:06:18,478

not only three years,

but it's, it's every week

 

152

00:06:18,878 --> 00:06:21,647

for three every every week.

 

153

00:06:21,647 --> 00:06:23,983

2 hours a week.

 

154

00:06:24,450 --> 00:06:26,185

Well, I mean we take for 2 hours

 

155

00:06:26,185 --> 00:06:29,222

a cut usually an hour and 15 minutes out

 

156

00:06:30,823 --> 00:06:31,290

there.

 

157

00:06:31,290 --> 00:06:33,993

This is like the only one we've done

during daylight hours.

 

158

00:06:35,762 --> 00:06:37,864

Maybe that's why I'm so alert.

 

159

00:06:37,864 --> 00:06:41,567

We usually do them on our own time

and evening or and not only us, but

 

160

00:06:42,235 --> 00:06:44,537

but I've been advising the blank as well

 

161

00:06:45,605 --> 00:06:50,476

as so much work for her and, and for Chris

that does the editing and even for him,

 

162

00:06:50,476 --> 00:06:53,413

I mean, he's got a lot of things

on his plate for him to

 

163

00:06:54,647 --> 00:06:56,082

take the time out and do this.

 

164

00:06:56,082 --> 00:06:57,350

It's a lot of work for them as well.

 

165

00:06:57,350 --> 00:07:00,186

So we want to take them

for all their hard work.

 

166

00:07:00,186 --> 00:07:04,257

And they really I thought we you know,

you and I just kind of made their job

 

167

00:07:04,357 --> 00:07:05,691

pretty easy.

 

168

00:07:06,459 --> 00:07:06,826

Actually.

 

169

00:07:06,826 --> 00:07:09,061

I think we've been kind of hard oh, yeah.

 

170

00:07:09,762 --> 00:07:10,696

Right. Jeremy.

 

171

00:07:10,696 --> 00:07:12,932

You know, you wanted me

to stand up and show my shirt.

 

172

00:07:12,932 --> 00:07:14,567

What what do you got on today?

 

173

00:07:14,567 --> 00:07:16,502

I haven't seen this one.

 

174

00:07:16,502 --> 00:07:17,670

This is the.

 

175

00:07:17,737 --> 00:07:20,139

New bone of gear. Yes, it was sent to me.

 

176

00:07:20,473 --> 00:07:22,909

It's quite colorful. Yes, it is.

 

177

00:07:23,309 --> 00:07:24,544

Look at that.

 

178

00:07:24,544 --> 00:07:26,712

And that's. Why.

 

179

00:07:26,712 --> 00:07:29,182

I don't know why they sent it to me,

but they did.

 

180

00:07:29,282 --> 00:07:30,183

I'll take it.

 

181

00:07:30,416 --> 00:07:31,117

All right,

 

182

00:07:31,651 --> 00:07:36,756

so three year anniversary, and over

those three years, we had a lot of advice,

 

183

00:07:36,756 --> 00:07:39,992

and we've condensed down

some really good advice.

 

184

00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,096

Now, I think you live in a different

direction than I did, which is good.

 

185

00:07:44,964 --> 00:07:48,568

We'll kind of go back and forth

and look at the excuse of my words.

 

186

00:07:48,601 --> 00:07:50,703

If it was a hardwood floor related,

 

187

00:07:51,237 --> 00:07:54,907

I think yours may have been like related,

which is good.

 

188

00:07:54,907 --> 00:07:56,309

I'm glad you did that.

 

189

00:07:56,309 --> 00:07:58,945

And I think we can talk about that.

 

190

00:07:59,111 --> 00:07:59,612

We think.

 

191

00:08:01,647 --> 00:08:02,548

I was just going to shoot

 

192

00:08:02,548 --> 00:08:05,585

mine off

like a David Letterman Top Ten list.

 

193

00:08:05,585 --> 00:08:08,821

But yeah, perfect. That's perfect.

 

194

00:08:08,821 --> 00:08:09,388

All right.

 

195

00:08:09,388 --> 00:08:11,858

Well, why don't you shoot year off, David

Letterman Top Ten List.

 

196

00:08:12,058 --> 00:08:13,593

Well, you know what?

 

197

00:08:13,593 --> 00:08:16,195

I'm trying to think of anything that.

 

198

00:08:16,195 --> 00:08:18,598

Well, okay, wait a minute.

 

199

00:08:18,598 --> 00:08:20,766

Yeah, I got my first one.

 

200

00:08:20,766 --> 00:08:23,202

You accidentally found the boring one.

 

201

00:08:23,202 --> 00:08:27,106

It's one that anybody who's been to

one of my trainings

 

202

00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,577

has heard me say in my opening

 

203

00:08:31,611 --> 00:08:33,813

perfection is not attainable.

 

204

00:08:35,147 --> 00:08:37,583

But if we can chase perfection,

 

205

00:08:37,583 --> 00:08:40,119

we can catch excellence.

 

206

00:08:40,119 --> 00:08:42,388

I've heard you say that a lot of times,

and I like that.

 

207

00:08:42,955 --> 00:08:48,394

I threw that up on Instagram

a long time ago as a wood floor

 

208

00:08:48,394 --> 00:08:51,998

man's creed, and I got

I had a lot of people call me and say,

 

209

00:08:52,365 --> 00:08:55,167

man, that was that's

just perfect for wood floor guy.

 

210

00:08:56,502 --> 00:08:56,969

Have you ever

 

211

00:08:56,969 --> 00:09:00,006

thrown anything else up on Instagram?

 

212

00:09:00,172 --> 00:09:01,607

A lot of baseball pictures.

 

213

00:09:01,607 --> 00:09:03,709

I was putting up a lot of class pictures.

 

214

00:09:04,844 --> 00:09:07,079

I, I need to get back at it.

 

215

00:09:08,014 --> 00:09:11,384

I don't think that follow you

on Instagram.

 

216

00:09:11,384 --> 00:09:12,385

I don't know what to do with that.

 

217

00:09:12,385 --> 00:09:15,321

I have an Instagram account, too.

 

218

00:09:15,721 --> 00:09:17,957

I I don't know what it is, but I.

 

219

00:09:18,257 --> 00:09:20,726

I try to keep up with it, but.

 

220

00:09:20,726 --> 00:09:22,295

I have all boring stuff online.

 

221

00:09:22,295 --> 00:09:24,196

So what am I?

 

222

00:09:24,196 --> 00:09:26,866

My mind's about half and half family stuff

 

223

00:09:26,866 --> 00:09:30,836

and I have a lot of stuff from classes

and and everything.

 

224

00:09:31,337 --> 00:09:32,071

Okay.

 

225

00:09:34,106 --> 00:09:35,207

Instagram,

 

226

00:09:35,207 --> 00:09:42,415

I am apparently only nine or at Instagram.

 

227

00:09:43,616 --> 00:09:45,751

Okay. I have

 

228

00:09:46,085 --> 00:09:49,422

672 followers and I'm following 377.

 

229

00:09:50,356 --> 00:09:52,825

I don't know what that means.

 

230

00:09:52,825 --> 00:09:55,061

I, it's funny, but Wayne Highlander.

 

231

00:09:55,561 --> 00:09:57,530

I got some pretty cool

for pictures on there.

 

232

00:09:57,530 --> 00:10:00,800

Yes, I. Am. I'm Rob Johnson. 9663.

 

233

00:10:01,801 --> 00:10:02,969

Sweet boy.

 

234

00:10:02,969 --> 00:10:05,638

We really went with some stuff.

 

235

00:10:05,972 --> 00:10:07,907

Yeah, some really

 

236

00:10:08,207 --> 00:10:11,010

put a lot of thought

into our, into our handles there.

 

237

00:10:11,010 --> 00:10:11,711

Then we.

 

238

00:10:11,811 --> 00:10:12,345

Yeah.

 

239

00:10:12,478 --> 00:10:14,046

Something else but okay, whatever.

 

240

00:10:14,046 --> 00:10:15,381

Anyhow, sorry about that.

 

241

00:10:15,381 --> 00:10:16,382

Okay. I like that.

 

242

00:10:16,382 --> 00:10:19,719

We've talked about that before and

I think that that makes a lot of sense.

 

243

00:10:21,454 --> 00:10:25,124

We're just to live by. Yes.

 

244

00:10:25,291 --> 00:10:26,459

So you're going to, you're going to

 

245

00:10:26,459 --> 00:10:29,495

go, give me one

or you want all of mine at once.

 

246

00:10:29,729 --> 00:10:32,398

I was going to and then you said

he was going to do all yours.

 

247

00:10:32,398 --> 00:10:35,034

And once I'll do mine,

I'll go back and forth yeah.

 

248

00:10:35,034 --> 00:10:36,869

Let's go back and forth. Okay.

 

249

00:10:36,869 --> 00:10:38,904

You see how everybody just want

everybody know

 

250

00:10:38,904 --> 00:10:42,108

how much we practice

before we do these shows, you know.

 

251

00:10:42,742 --> 00:10:44,210

Let's see how well it works.

 

252

00:10:44,210 --> 00:10:46,545

Out when we practice that.

 

253

00:10:46,545 --> 00:10:48,180

All right, so buy it.

 

254

00:10:48,180 --> 00:10:50,816

And some of these are going to be

we've heard before,

 

255

00:10:51,050 --> 00:10:53,552

but if you

if you condense down my 30 years

 

256

00:10:53,919 --> 00:10:57,423

of being a foreign contractor and say,

hey, okay, well,

 

257

00:10:57,423 --> 00:11:01,260

give me some tips to live by, I'm

starting off in this industry or whatever

 

258

00:11:02,128 --> 00:11:05,665

this is what I came up

with, number one is don't watch it.

 

259

00:11:05,665 --> 00:11:06,198

Right?

 

260

00:11:06,232 --> 00:11:08,100

We talked about it so many times.

 

261

00:11:08,100 --> 00:11:10,569

Oh, just don't watch it. Right.

 

262

00:11:11,270 --> 00:11:14,040

All right. All right. Wait, wait.

 

263

00:11:15,074 --> 00:11:17,410

I talked to a guy last night from Montreal

 

264

00:11:17,743 --> 00:11:20,913

at around 10:00,

 

265

00:11:21,180 --> 00:11:23,349

and we're going to talk about Domo.

 

266

00:11:23,683 --> 00:11:29,055

We're going to talk about bonus

new product, domo, amazing product.

 

267

00:11:29,288 --> 00:11:30,189

Okay.

 

268

00:11:30,423 --> 00:11:33,893

I've been using it in the schools

I've been playing with the paints

 

269

00:11:33,893 --> 00:11:34,560

and internet

 

270

00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:37,997

and glazing and all sorts of stuff

that I'm really not supposed

 

271

00:11:37,997 --> 00:11:41,667

to talk about, but we've been playing it,

you know, that's how we figure stuff out.

 

272

00:11:42,601 --> 00:11:44,970

And the way that it flows and levels

 

273

00:11:44,970 --> 00:11:47,673

and applies the durability.

 

274

00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,310

And this is just an awesome product, but

 

275

00:11:52,778 --> 00:11:55,281

it is a heart attack and a can.

 

276

00:11:55,281 --> 00:11:58,584

I have never seen anything dry.

 

277

00:11:58,851 --> 00:12:00,853

Crazier. No kidding.

 

278

00:12:01,387 --> 00:12:05,191

I mean, I don't know if you've seen

this yet at the schools or anything,

 

279

00:12:06,225 --> 00:12:10,629

but at one point it, it almost

looks like you've painted the floor white

 

280

00:12:11,764 --> 00:12:14,066

well, yeah.

 

281

00:12:14,066 --> 00:12:15,034

And it's right.

 

282

00:12:15,034 --> 00:12:18,437

And you come back

the next day and it dries crystal clear.

 

283

00:12:18,437 --> 00:12:22,274

That's another great thing about it is

you know, it is a crystal clear product,

 

284

00:12:22,942 --> 00:12:26,645

but man, oh, man, you want to talk about

 

285

00:12:27,213 --> 00:12:30,750

heart attack in the can,

about not watching I can't believe

 

286

00:12:30,750 --> 00:12:35,454

that's your lead off because I talked

with this guy last night for a while.

 

287

00:12:35,955 --> 00:12:39,458

And, you know, one of the issues

too was eight.

 

288

00:12:39,658 --> 00:12:41,393

He got back on a little quick.

 

289

00:12:41,393 --> 00:12:44,697

He put it down, he goes,

I waited 90 minutes and I was like, that

 

290

00:12:45,431 --> 00:12:47,867

90 minutes is really fast, you know?

 

291

00:12:48,601 --> 00:12:52,438

And he said, I had one spot

that was pretty white.

 

292

00:12:52,438 --> 00:12:54,907

And he went in and scraped it

and all that.

 

293

00:12:54,907 --> 00:12:56,909

And I was like, it just wasn't dry.

 

294

00:12:56,909 --> 00:12:58,778

That's all you just had,

 

295

00:12:58,778 --> 00:13:02,281

you know, 90 minutes, but, you know, it's

late at night, so you want to get home.

 

296

00:13:02,281 --> 00:13:02,715

I get it.

 

297

00:13:02,715 --> 00:13:05,518

Sometimes we try to push the envelope,

 

298

00:13:06,252 --> 00:13:08,387

but I leans in marketing.

 

299

00:13:09,321 --> 00:13:10,623

We should talk to her about

 

300

00:13:11,957 --> 00:13:14,760

put a blurb on there something

because it's

 

301

00:13:15,928 --> 00:13:18,764

the first time I saw it, I was like,

This can't be all fair.

 

302

00:13:18,764 --> 00:13:20,766

You know,

I mean, I couldn't believe it, but

 

303

00:13:22,001 --> 00:13:25,838

come back and it was Jeff,

Alfredo and Jeremiah both told me

 

304

00:13:26,605 --> 00:13:30,109

they were just they were just laughing

their butts off like don't worry about it.

 

305

00:13:30,676 --> 00:13:33,012

It'll be crystal clear tomorrow

as like that.

 

306

00:13:33,412 --> 00:13:34,113

No way.

 

307

00:13:34,113 --> 00:13:38,350

And it has been every time,

but yeah, I don't watch it.

 

308

00:13:38,350 --> 00:13:40,586

Try very good one way. I like that.

 

309

00:13:40,586 --> 00:13:41,587

All right.

 

310

00:13:41,821 --> 00:13:42,988

Let's get

 

311

00:13:43,689 --> 00:13:45,424

you think practice is boring.

 

312

00:13:45,424 --> 00:13:48,260

Try sitting on the bench

 

313

00:13:49,061 --> 00:13:49,795

yeah.

 

314

00:13:50,196 --> 00:13:51,263

I like that, too.

 

315

00:13:51,263 --> 00:13:52,198

As a sports guy.

 

316

00:13:52,198 --> 00:13:53,532

I like that.

 

317

00:13:53,532 --> 00:13:55,701

Yeah, I like sports stuff, you know?

 

318

00:13:55,734 --> 00:13:57,703

Yeah. Yeah, I relate to.

 

319

00:13:57,703 --> 00:13:59,405

I like sports. I relate to it.

 

320

00:13:59,405 --> 00:14:02,575

Not that I am the greatest of players

or anything, but still.

 

321

00:14:05,311 --> 00:14:07,413

My next one is trust your instincts.

 

322

00:14:07,513 --> 00:14:10,049

The situation doesn't feel right back out.

 

323

00:14:10,082 --> 00:14:13,452

Listen to the voice in your head

that says this in that

 

324

00:14:15,688 --> 00:14:18,624

you you know, there's things in the book

 

325

00:14:18,991 --> 00:14:22,494

that, you know, we do X, Y, and Z,

and they do things properly, whatever.

 

326

00:14:22,695 --> 00:14:24,063

And then there's great stuff.

 

327

00:14:24,063 --> 00:14:26,532

And then there's also people

that are part of that equation.

 

328

00:14:26,532 --> 00:14:28,334

And they're always in the great category

 

329

00:14:28,334 --> 00:14:30,502

because you never know how

that's going to go.

 

330

00:14:30,502 --> 00:14:34,273

I learned to and don't be afraid

to trust your instincts

 

331

00:14:34,273 --> 00:14:37,576

if everything isn't lining up

the way you like

 

332

00:14:37,576 --> 00:14:39,945

as a business owner,

that's one of the nice things

 

333

00:14:39,945 --> 00:14:42,481

about owning your own business, is

you have the ability to say no.

 

334

00:14:43,215 --> 00:14:45,517

I can't say no, you can't say no.

 

335

00:14:45,517 --> 00:14:47,519

We work for a manufacturer.

 

336

00:14:47,519 --> 00:14:50,789

Other people work

in a lot of other businesses or jobs.

 

337

00:14:50,789 --> 00:14:51,624

You can't say no.

 

338

00:14:51,624 --> 00:14:56,962

But as a business owner, it has to be

part of your your your makeup.

 

339

00:14:56,962 --> 00:14:58,998

You have to say

no. It is not feeling right.

 

340

00:15:00,032 --> 00:15:00,566

You do the

 

341

00:15:00,566 --> 00:15:04,570

things that I've got into that

that that didn't go the way I want to do.

 

342

00:15:04,570 --> 00:15:08,240

There was something in the back of my head

saying, this doesn't smell right,

 

343

00:15:08,607 --> 00:15:09,875

and I went forward.

 

344

00:15:09,875 --> 00:15:12,878

So you feel right,

 

345

00:15:13,045 --> 00:15:15,047

trust your instincts and say, no.

 

346

00:15:15,948 --> 00:15:17,850

I've heard you say this before

on the show.

 

347

00:15:17,850 --> 00:15:19,952

This is definitely one of the ones

you live by.

 

348

00:15:20,586 --> 00:15:23,188

Yeah. I've heard you say that before.

Yeah.

 

349

00:15:23,222 --> 00:15:26,926

Sometimes the best job

is the one that you walked away from.

 

350

00:15:27,393 --> 00:15:28,560

100%.

 

351

00:15:29,161 --> 00:15:29,895

All right.

 

352

00:15:30,863 --> 00:15:31,363

Okay.

 

353

00:15:31,363 --> 00:15:33,699

Don't judge others.

 

354

00:15:33,699 --> 00:15:36,302

You don't know what they're going through.

 

355

00:15:40,639 --> 00:15:44,977

Can Well,

 

356

00:15:46,378 --> 00:15:47,479

okay, I agree with that.

 

357

00:15:47,479 --> 00:15:48,881

I agree with part of that.

 

358

00:15:48,881 --> 00:15:51,617

But there's a there's this thing you hear

you hear all the time.

 

359

00:15:51,617 --> 00:15:55,354

Now, people say the

you know, you don't know me.

 

360

00:15:55,354 --> 00:15:56,355

You know you can't judge me.

 

361

00:15:56,355 --> 00:15:58,357

You don't know me. I judge everybody.

 

362

00:15:58,791 --> 00:16:00,159

Absolutely everybody.

 

363

00:16:00,159 --> 00:16:02,328

And, you know, so we know.

 

364

00:16:02,328 --> 00:16:05,264

Do you so do you and so does everybody.

 

365

00:16:06,198 --> 00:16:10,035

I'm, I hope, cried

when I judge them, whatever.

 

366

00:16:10,035 --> 00:16:11,503

But I give everybody a fair shot.

 

367

00:16:11,503 --> 00:16:13,672

But I think we all judge everybody.

 

368

00:16:14,239 --> 00:16:17,977

But I think the key is this to be kind and

 

369

00:16:20,379 --> 00:16:21,480

have have this

 

370

00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,150

this this magic word is empathy, right?

 

371

00:16:25,351 --> 00:16:28,220

That's I know I said

I have empathy for people that break down

 

372

00:16:28,220 --> 00:16:31,590

side the road,

but I don't stop and help them

 

373

00:16:33,459 --> 00:16:35,527

you know, when I was told the other day

 

374

00:16:35,527 --> 00:16:38,030

and I thought that was very interesting,

I thought about you

 

375

00:16:40,966 --> 00:16:43,002

I heard this lady say the difference

 

376

00:16:43,202 --> 00:16:46,038

between people on the East Coast,

the people on the West Coast,

 

377

00:16:47,406 --> 00:16:50,709

and tell me what you think about this

 

378

00:16:50,876 --> 00:16:54,246

this person said that

the people on the West Coast are nice,

 

379

00:16:55,447 --> 00:16:57,182

but they're not close.

 

380

00:16:57,449 --> 00:17:01,453

And the people on the East

Coast are trying, but they're not nice.

 

381

00:17:01,587 --> 00:17:06,158

And I think this is the entire time

 

382

00:17:07,259 --> 00:17:08,761

on the West Coast, stuff like this.

 

383

00:17:08,761 --> 00:17:09,762

I just want to get out there

 

384

00:17:10,963 --> 00:17:12,031

but I thought it was interesting.

 

385

00:17:12,031 --> 00:17:16,268

I think in the West Coast,

if you got to get tired of

 

386

00:17:16,268 --> 00:17:19,204

Sandy Row, something like, oh, well,

that's really that's a shame.

 

387

00:17:19,304 --> 00:17:19,638

I'm sorry.

 

388

00:17:19,638 --> 00:17:23,075

You got to keep going on the East Coast.

 

389

00:17:23,142 --> 00:17:25,944

My guys like my stuff. What's the news?

 

390

00:17:26,512 --> 00:17:27,246

You don't have a

 

391

00:17:27,246 --> 00:17:30,249

you can't you just tell your daddy

to get down the way we change it.

 

392

00:17:31,283 --> 00:17:33,685

You said yes.

 

393

00:17:33,685 --> 00:17:35,988

I wonder how true that may be.

 

394

00:17:35,988 --> 00:17:38,490

The real truth of that. I don't know.

 

395

00:17:38,490 --> 00:17:41,460

Well, I, I agree half with you

 

396

00:17:41,460 --> 00:17:44,863

because I definitely think

she's right on the East Coast.

 

397

00:17:44,863 --> 00:17:50,702

People, we're kind,

but we're not nice Yes, yes, absolutely.

 

398

00:17:50,702 --> 00:17:55,340

And I think I told this story before we

were building a bowling alley in Queens.

 

399

00:17:56,408 --> 00:17:59,078

And I remember the first

 

400

00:17:59,078 --> 00:18:02,347

few, three days of the job,

and the guy who owned

 

401

00:18:02,347 --> 00:18:05,584

the bowling alley and his manager

and his mechanic and everything.

 

402

00:18:06,218 --> 00:18:08,754

And I just kept thinking to myself, man,

 

403

00:18:08,821 --> 00:18:11,490

these guys are the worst.

 

404

00:18:12,057 --> 00:18:14,560

What a couple of patsies these guys are.

 

405

00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:15,661

And I was like,

 

406

00:18:15,661 --> 00:18:19,364

I going to be here almost the whole summer

with these fools, you know?

 

407

00:18:20,365 --> 00:18:23,335

And then three days later,

they're bringing us to their bar,

 

408

00:18:23,469 --> 00:18:26,538

introducing us to their friends,

 

409

00:18:26,538 --> 00:18:28,740

you know, you had to

you had to break the ice with them.

 

410

00:18:28,740 --> 00:18:30,242

That was the deal.

 

411

00:18:30,242 --> 00:18:34,880

So I definitely agree with kind,

but not nice.

 

412

00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:39,017

But I think once you're in with them,

you know, you're in like family.

 

413

00:18:39,318 --> 00:18:42,387

But I haven't spent a lot of

time on the West Coast, so.

 

414

00:18:44,156 --> 00:18:47,025

I I actually like I like that I'm

fine with it.

 

415

00:18:47,025 --> 00:18:49,194

I don't look either a knucklehead,

you know,

 

416

00:18:49,228 --> 00:18:51,597

how come the one shows you

that you've done me get out of the way?

 

417

00:18:51,964 --> 00:18:55,567

And then if they show me, then

all right, I get I would take a little bit

 

418

00:18:55,567 --> 00:18:58,570

of ribbing to get to the end result,

you know what I mean?

 

419

00:18:59,004 --> 00:19:01,039

Yeah, that that was interesting.

 

420

00:19:01,039 --> 00:19:01,807

All right.

 

421

00:19:03,275 --> 00:19:04,643

No, your worth,

 

422

00:19:05,611 --> 00:19:08,247

but have some humility about it.

 

423

00:19:08,247 --> 00:19:10,015

You know, there's the that one quote.

 

424

00:19:10,015 --> 00:19:12,784

The bitterness of poor quality

remains long after

 

425

00:19:12,784 --> 00:19:16,021

the sweetness of low prices forgotten.

 

426

00:19:16,021 --> 00:19:18,290

I think it's important

to know your worth and

 

427

00:19:19,591 --> 00:19:21,793

don't be afraid to talk about it

all the time.

 

428

00:19:21,793 --> 00:19:24,029

It's a lesson I learned in the

business. Know your worth,

 

429

00:19:25,831 --> 00:19:27,566

but have some humility about

 

430

00:19:27,566 --> 00:19:31,503

it, too, because I have seen people

go, I know, I know.

 

431

00:19:31,537 --> 00:19:34,173

It's just, you know,

I don't care with every blah, blah, blah.

 

432

00:19:34,473 --> 00:19:38,076

And I just think that it's

okay to know your words.

 

433

00:19:38,076 --> 00:19:41,013

But I think you can also

 

434

00:19:41,013 --> 00:19:42,447

be kind of kind of out there.

 

435

00:19:42,447 --> 00:19:44,483

We don't beat somebody

above the head with that

 

436

00:19:44,516 --> 00:19:46,818

because sometimes

people don't know what prices are.

 

437

00:19:46,818 --> 00:19:48,253

You have no idea.

 

438

00:19:48,253 --> 00:19:49,421

You know, I've talked to you before

 

439

00:19:49,421 --> 00:19:52,591

that was genuinely thought

it would be like half the cost.

 

440

00:19:53,225 --> 00:19:55,427

So it's not their fault.

 

441

00:19:55,427 --> 00:19:57,462

I'm still not for my price, not me.

 

442

00:19:57,462 --> 00:20:00,332

But yeah, but but it's

I don't want to beat them over the head

 

443

00:20:00,332 --> 00:20:01,200

with their lack of knowledge.

 

444

00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,536

So no, your first is right up

at the top of the ladder things.

 

445

00:20:04,536 --> 00:20:07,105

That wasn't

that kind of frustrating. Remember that?

 

446

00:20:08,073 --> 00:20:08,507

Yeah.

 

447

00:20:08,507 --> 00:20:12,010

I mean, I remember going in doing

estimates sometimes and handed people

 

448

00:20:12,010 --> 00:20:16,014

the estimate like like I handed them

a ransom note or something.

 

449

00:20:16,315 --> 00:20:16,982

Right.

 

450

00:20:17,249 --> 00:20:20,252

And they're, they're looking at it

and like, is everything okay?

 

451

00:20:20,252 --> 00:20:22,988

And remember, one lady,

you know, one couple, I said,

 

452

00:20:23,789 --> 00:20:26,558

because they're just staring at it

like dumbfounded.

 

453

00:20:26,558 --> 00:20:28,727

You could see the look on their face

 

454

00:20:30,062 --> 00:20:32,564

finally says, Everything okay?

 

455

00:20:32,564 --> 00:20:36,501

And they said, we thought I was going

to, you know, kind of be like carpet

 

456

00:20:36,501 --> 00:20:38,604

cleaning or something

like 100 bucks a room

 

457

00:20:41,340 --> 00:20:41,940

yeah.

 

458

00:20:41,940 --> 00:20:46,745

I was like, Oh, boy, I'm so glad that

I showered for these people afterward.

 

459

00:20:46,745 --> 00:20:47,579

Today.

 

460

00:20:48,647 --> 00:20:49,381

Yeah.

 

461

00:20:50,616 --> 00:20:54,119

Well, it kind of goes back to in this day

and age with the price of gas

 

462

00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,989

and everything is trying to get out

to people a little bit over the phone.

 

463

00:20:57,556 --> 00:21:01,460

And I think I would

I would definitely that would be more

 

464

00:21:01,827 --> 00:21:04,129

part of my business plan

now than it had been in the past when

 

465

00:21:04,696 --> 00:21:06,064

things were less expensive or whatever.

 

466

00:21:06,064 --> 00:21:11,403

But but knowing your worth, I can't see it

enough or in business to make money.

 

467

00:21:12,104 --> 00:21:14,506

It's tough to do this

job you want to get. They

 

468

00:21:15,540 --> 00:21:16,241

know your worth.

 

469

00:21:16,241 --> 00:21:17,442

I like that.

 

470

00:21:17,909 --> 00:21:19,478

Time heals everything.

 

471

00:21:19,478 --> 00:21:22,381

But give it time

 

472

00:21:22,914 --> 00:21:23,415

okay.

 

473

00:21:23,415 --> 00:21:25,917

Which has nothing to do with laws.

 

474

00:21:25,917 --> 00:21:28,253

No, but it's. It's my my went personal.

 

475

00:21:28,887 --> 00:21:30,322

Well, I think that's.

 

476

00:21:30,322 --> 00:21:31,890

Yeah, I don't think that's actually good.

 

477

00:21:31,890 --> 00:21:34,092

I don't think that they're all flaws.

 

478

00:21:34,092 --> 00:21:35,894

I don't think that would be

 

479

00:21:37,095 --> 00:21:40,465

I don't know necessarily

if I agree with that.

 

480

00:21:40,565 --> 00:21:42,968

I think there has to be

another part of that equation.

 

481

00:21:42,968 --> 00:21:45,304

Something about forgiveness

 

482

00:21:46,838 --> 00:21:48,640

but that might be tougher.

 

483

00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,642

How are you a forgiveness

you get with that?

 

484

00:21:50,642 --> 00:21:53,278

Oh, I, I, I don't hold grudges.

 

485

00:21:53,478 --> 00:21:55,314

I really don't. To die.

 

486

00:21:55,314 --> 00:21:57,916

I will I'll forgive. And pretty much.

 

487

00:21:58,016 --> 00:22:01,353

I was always so impressed with myself

 

488

00:22:02,988 --> 00:22:05,157

raising the kids.

 

489

00:22:05,457 --> 00:22:08,627

I mean, I could give them holy hell

 

490

00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,097

and come home and just, you know,

something was done.

 

491

00:22:12,097 --> 00:22:13,465

They did whatever, right?

 

492

00:22:13,465 --> 00:22:16,501

And come down

like a ton of bricks on them,

 

493

00:22:17,102 --> 00:22:20,172

and then 20 minutes later say, hey,

come on, let's go.

 

494

00:22:20,205 --> 00:22:21,239

Let's go out for ice cream.

 

495

00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:23,342

Don't hold the grudge.

 

496

00:22:23,342 --> 00:22:25,444

Come down

hard. Don't hold a grudge. Though.

 

497

00:22:25,477 --> 00:22:28,680

So I actually think that's

a really good one.

 

498

00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:29,481

That was

 

499

00:22:29,614 --> 00:22:32,551

you just said they're even owning

your own business and work with employees

 

500

00:22:33,151 --> 00:22:37,289

because I'm I can be like, that

like I would come down hard, but that.

 

501

00:22:37,322 --> 00:22:39,691

All right, let's turn the page. Just go

what else we had.

 

502

00:22:39,691 --> 00:22:42,060

Going on underneath it. Yeah, yeah.

 

503

00:22:42,060 --> 00:22:44,229

And I don't

and I'm not going to show up the next day.

 

504

00:22:45,430 --> 00:22:48,033

With that same feeling

that I've disappointed in somebody,

 

505

00:22:48,033 --> 00:22:48,800

you know what I mean?

 

506

00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,235

Oh, God.

 

507

00:22:50,235 --> 00:22:52,537

Yeah. And you've seen it many times.

 

508

00:22:53,004 --> 00:22:54,506

Yeah. And it's not good for you.

 

509

00:22:54,506 --> 00:22:55,774

It's not good for them.

 

510

00:22:55,774 --> 00:22:56,708

So get it out.

 

511

00:22:56,708 --> 00:23:00,545

I'm a big believer

that East Coast mentality of get it out.

 

512

00:23:01,747 --> 00:23:03,782

Was. You got to say that.

 

513

00:23:03,782 --> 00:23:06,418

All right,

we we clear on the let's move on.

 

514

00:23:07,185 --> 00:23:08,286

And then you could.

 

515

00:23:08,286 --> 00:23:10,522

Definitely be East Coast.

 

516

00:23:10,522 --> 00:23:12,290

I think that you could.

 

517

00:23:12,290 --> 00:23:14,693

Only be East Coast.

 

518

00:23:15,427 --> 00:23:15,994

Either

 

519

00:23:16,528 --> 00:23:21,133

go with another one win from others, both

good and bad things I've learned in life

 

520

00:23:21,700 --> 00:23:25,437

and with other contractors

I've learned is almost as much

 

521

00:23:25,437 --> 00:23:28,607

from bad contractors as good contractors.

 

522

00:23:28,607 --> 00:23:30,008

I I'll give you an example right now.

 

523

00:23:30,008 --> 00:23:34,079

I just I the guy there's

somebody working on the house next door

 

524

00:23:34,646 --> 00:23:36,515

and he doesn't say

you just pretty good work.

 

525

00:23:36,515 --> 00:23:40,385

I asked him for a quote on the replacing

my deck and he goes, okay.

 

526

00:23:40,385 --> 00:23:42,587

Yeah. It took

my information has been about them.

 

527

00:23:42,587 --> 00:23:44,790

He hasn't called me obviously

 

528

00:23:44,790 --> 00:23:47,793

he'll be back over there,

wait till his shows up again.

 

529

00:23:48,226 --> 00:23:49,361

I can't wait to talk to him.

 

530

00:23:50,762 --> 00:23:53,064

It's such a pity if

 

531

00:23:53,064 --> 00:23:56,435

if you learned the hard phone call,

just make the phone call

 

532

00:23:56,635 --> 00:24:01,006

if you don't want to do the job, just just

to see a new job and just get past you.

 

533

00:24:01,006 --> 00:24:06,077

Don't procrastinate and move on

but I think that's a big one, I think.

 

534

00:24:06,311 --> 00:24:08,046

Yeah. And also in business.

 

535

00:24:08,046 --> 00:24:10,415

In life,

well, let's just start a business.

 

536

00:24:11,883 --> 00:24:14,820

If you let stuff drag on,

you don't make that call

 

537

00:24:14,820 --> 00:24:16,855

or someone has a problem

you don't want to call back.

 

538

00:24:16,855 --> 00:24:18,390

I just it's been my experience.

 

539

00:24:18,390 --> 00:24:20,859

One of the best things I've learned

is get it done right now.

 

540

00:24:21,193 --> 00:24:24,029

Matter of fact,

get it done first thing in the morning.

 

541

00:24:24,362 --> 00:24:26,164

If you got to lose the things

to get a tough

 

542

00:24:26,164 --> 00:24:27,632

one off your plate right away,

you'll feel better.

 

543

00:24:27,632 --> 00:24:29,801

The whole thing more than like.

 

544

00:24:30,035 --> 00:24:33,071

Or give it time

and everything will go away with time.

 

545

00:24:35,574 --> 00:24:36,808

Pick ups.

 

546

00:24:36,942 --> 00:24:40,312

That's what you wish would happen. But

 

547

00:24:40,345 --> 00:24:41,713

doesn't work like that.

 

548

00:24:41,713 --> 00:24:43,548

So we tend to focus on time.

 

549

00:24:43,548 --> 00:24:45,283

Don't progressively.

 

550

00:24:45,717 --> 00:24:48,820

You know, I'm going to tell you

a quick story and I think I told it before

 

551

00:24:49,621 --> 00:24:51,656

when Pete Knight left my dad's company

 

552

00:24:52,090 --> 00:24:55,293

is this is going to go with give

it time is beaten.

 

553

00:24:55,293 --> 00:24:57,095

I love my dad's company.

 

554

00:24:57,095 --> 00:25:02,000

Did a weight floor

in July for this woman over in Albany

 

555

00:25:02,701 --> 00:25:05,904

and she calls us in February calls me in

 

556

00:25:05,904 --> 00:25:09,608

February says she's raptors

black lines everywhere and I said Mr.

 

557

00:25:09,674 --> 00:25:11,910

question no problem

I'll come over and take a look at it.

 

558

00:25:12,043 --> 00:25:14,513

And it wasn't black lines.

 

559

00:25:14,513 --> 00:25:16,748

It was just turf or floors were shrinking.

 

560

00:25:17,582 --> 00:25:20,252

I neglected to explain to her

 

561

00:25:20,252 --> 00:25:23,154

because he had dark brown floors

going to wait.

 

562

00:25:23,855 --> 00:25:26,892

She's going to see seasonal expansion

where we live.

 

563

00:25:27,526 --> 00:25:32,230

So right away she's like, no, I've been

living in this house for two years.

 

564

00:25:32,230 --> 00:25:34,966

Never happened before.

It's something you did.

 

565

00:25:36,234 --> 00:25:39,838

I want the floors ripped out and replaced

 

566

00:25:39,838 --> 00:25:41,940

so when I say time heals, everything

 

567

00:25:44,042 --> 00:25:45,544

I beat her

 

568

00:25:45,544 --> 00:25:48,313

and I are driving home from this fiasco.

 

569

00:25:48,547 --> 00:25:50,315

He's like,

What are we going to do? I go on.

 

570

00:25:50,315 --> 00:25:53,118

I'm going to lie to her

for the next six months that we've got

 

571

00:25:53,618 --> 00:25:55,120

specialists coming in or so.

 

572

00:25:55,120 --> 00:25:56,221

And so didn't call you.

 

573

00:25:56,221 --> 00:25:59,157

I mean, every horrible thing I can do.

 

574

00:25:59,824 --> 00:26:01,192

I said just a bias.

 

575

00:26:01,192 --> 00:26:04,729

Enough time to get into June or July

and the floors smells back up

 

576

00:26:05,030 --> 00:26:07,499

and we're good to go. Yeah.

 

577

00:26:07,499 --> 00:26:07,766

Yeah.

 

578

00:26:07,766 --> 00:26:09,100

Maybe that's why I wrote that.

 

579

00:26:09,100 --> 00:26:12,537

Time heals everything because

 

580

00:26:12,637 --> 00:26:13,939

your thought I would feel guilty

 

581

00:26:13,939 --> 00:26:17,175

about selling all the crap to that woman,

but not one bit.

 

582

00:26:17,475 --> 00:26:18,743

I felt I was helping her.

 

583

00:26:25,684 --> 00:26:26,451

I when

 

584

00:26:26,451 --> 00:26:29,387

I was

very young, I was like 23 years old now.

 

585

00:26:29,554 --> 00:26:32,090

I would a distributor like I don't maybe

a couple thousand dollars.

 

586

00:26:32,090 --> 00:26:34,225

I was going to

I was going to pay him the next day

 

587

00:26:34,225 --> 00:26:36,494

what certain would,

but I was waiting on a check.

 

588

00:26:36,995 --> 00:26:38,663

Says We have like a lot of checks.

 

589

00:26:38,663 --> 00:26:41,232

You know, when you get that point

where you like six people owe you money

 

590

00:26:41,733 --> 00:26:43,635

and you know, they haven't come in yet.

 

591

00:26:43,635 --> 00:26:44,936

It was one of those deals

 

592

00:26:44,936 --> 00:26:48,506

and but I didn't go over there

and I told them I would be there.

 

593

00:26:48,506 --> 00:26:50,809

I told my I pay the guy so

 

594

00:26:51,977 --> 00:26:53,311

I was killed.

 

595

00:26:53,311 --> 00:26:54,946

Do you know what I knew?

 

596

00:26:54,946 --> 00:27:00,118

I put my religion with my distributor with

so that night I said, what do I do?

 

597

00:27:00,452 --> 00:27:03,321

So the next day,

I just drove over there and told him

 

598

00:27:03,321 --> 00:27:04,322

to pick up the phone and call him.

 

599

00:27:04,322 --> 00:27:06,558

I just want to tell him that, listen,

I told you I'm here tomorrow.

 

600

00:27:06,558 --> 00:27:07,659

I apologize.

 

601

00:27:07,659 --> 00:27:10,595

I don't have it. But I will get it.

 

602

00:27:11,062 --> 00:27:13,098

It's worth it.

Whatever you. I just let you know.

 

603

00:27:13,098 --> 00:27:16,635

And then I called him again

later that day, and it was

 

604

00:27:17,669 --> 00:27:19,204

the right thing to do early on.

 

605

00:27:19,204 --> 00:27:24,576

I just instinctively knew that you want

to be that guy doesn't call the problem.

 

606

00:27:24,576 --> 00:27:28,747

So maybe that distributors

your lifeline. To

 

607

00:27:30,448 --> 00:27:32,584

100%.

 

608

00:27:32,917 --> 00:27:33,451

I've talked.

 

609

00:27:33,451 --> 00:27:36,121

I've told you before about the guys

that did to be pairs of jeans.

 

610

00:27:36,121 --> 00:27:39,691

We tip those guys because I

look I walk in there with my machine.

 

611

00:27:39,791 --> 00:27:41,826

I see that there's 12

sitting on the bench.

 

612

00:27:41,826 --> 00:27:44,396

I'm thinking, all right,

this takes him a date with each one,

 

613

00:27:44,396 --> 00:27:46,798

which it's gonna take longer.

When am I ever to get my machine back?

 

614

00:27:47,098 --> 00:27:49,501

So you're there's 100 bucks, man.

 

615

00:27:49,501 --> 00:27:52,003

I really, really need this back tomorrow.

 

616

00:27:52,003 --> 00:27:53,004

So nice.

 

617

00:27:53,004 --> 00:27:55,173

Magically, the machine moves up here.

 

618

00:27:55,173 --> 00:27:57,342

Definitely East Coast.

 

619

00:27:57,342 --> 00:28:00,445

All right, well, so I miss you.

 

620

00:28:00,512 --> 00:28:03,715

That is it me? Are you?

 

621

00:28:03,715 --> 00:28:06,317

That's up. I think it's you.

 

622

00:28:06,317 --> 00:28:09,788

What others

think of you is none of your business.

 

623

00:28:10,388 --> 00:28:11,322

You do. You

 

624

00:28:13,058 --> 00:28:15,126

but others think of you.

 

625

00:28:15,126 --> 00:28:17,729

Is none of your business.

 

626

00:28:18,697 --> 00:28:19,931

Yeah, I agree with that.

 

627

00:28:19,931 --> 00:28:20,765

I really.

 

628

00:28:20,765 --> 00:28:21,533

You know what I mean?

 

629

00:28:21,533 --> 00:28:24,369

Always worrying about it. Yeah, you know?

 

630

00:28:25,203 --> 00:28:26,671

Yeah, I like it.

 

631

00:28:26,671 --> 00:28:30,108

Like when I put the shirt on today,

I did not care what

 

632

00:28:30,408 --> 00:28:32,277

you were going to think about this shirt.

 

633

00:28:32,277 --> 00:28:34,479

It's funny you pointed it out.

 

634

00:28:34,479 --> 00:28:36,114

You know something?

 

635

00:28:36,548 --> 00:28:37,382

You're going.

 

636

00:28:37,382 --> 00:28:41,619

You you're been to a beach,

and the guys in the Speedo,

 

637

00:28:42,487 --> 00:28:45,790

and he's like, £290

 

638

00:28:46,191 --> 00:28:51,930

and he is the living life,

and he don't care about.

 

639

00:28:51,996 --> 00:28:53,998

No, but no thing.

 

640

00:28:53,998 --> 00:28:56,568

I don't know how guys like that can do it.

 

641

00:28:57,102 --> 00:28:57,769

I don't.

 

642

00:28:57,769 --> 00:29:00,505

I, I wish I could know.

 

643

00:29:00,972 --> 00:29:02,207

I just.

 

644

00:29:02,207 --> 00:29:04,309

I am not that guy.

 

645

00:29:05,443 --> 00:29:06,611

Baggy pair of shorts.

 

646

00:29:06,611 --> 00:29:09,114

I actually have a t shirt

that I wear at the beach.

 

647

00:29:09,547 --> 00:29:11,649

That's kind of a tan t shirt,

 

648

00:29:12,884 --> 00:29:14,919

so it looks like I'm tanned in

 

649

00:29:16,988 --> 00:29:17,422

yeah.

 

650

00:29:20,058 --> 00:29:22,260

Like you could just be walking by me

at the beach.

 

651

00:29:22,260 --> 00:29:22,694

Yeah.

 

652

00:29:22,694 --> 00:29:24,362

And not think anything of it all.

 

653

00:29:24,362 --> 00:29:28,633

The guy spends a lot of time at the beach

was just his tan,

 

654

00:29:28,633 --> 00:29:32,070

but it's hard to kind of read and wonder

what's going on, but you know what I mean.

 

655

00:29:32,670 --> 00:29:35,740

Yeah, a lot of attraction to this

you know?

 

656

00:29:36,141 --> 00:29:37,909

Yeah, I'm more that guy than the other.

 

657

00:29:37,909 --> 00:29:41,713

I wish that I actually admire

that other guy, you know what I mean?

 

658

00:29:41,713 --> 00:29:43,381

It just that. You know what? I don't know.

 

659

00:29:43,381 --> 00:29:45,049

You guys screw you guys.

 

660

00:29:45,049 --> 00:29:47,819

I'm going to go out there be me and I.

 

661

00:29:47,819 --> 00:29:51,022

That is a definite you do you? Yeah. Yeah.

 

662

00:29:51,356 --> 00:29:54,859

I feel like that

I had more of that as a person, as more of

 

663

00:29:54,859 --> 00:29:57,695

I got more as I've gotten older.

 

664

00:29:58,163 --> 00:29:58,997

And that's why

 

665

00:29:59,130 --> 00:30:01,766

you see a lot of people that just flat out

don't care what anybody thinks,

 

666

00:30:02,367 --> 00:30:02,734

you know?

 

667

00:30:02,734 --> 00:30:06,070

I mean, when you get to that point

in life, you can say that you're doing it.

 

668

00:30:06,070 --> 00:30:06,838

You just don't care, right?

 

669

00:30:06,838 --> 00:30:09,374

Nobody cares what they think. Whatever.

 

670

00:30:09,908 --> 00:30:10,909

You're going a good place.

 

671

00:30:10,909 --> 00:30:13,077

You know,

it's funny you said that a buddy of mine

 

672

00:30:14,512 --> 00:30:14,846

I used

 

673

00:30:14,846 --> 00:30:19,484

to talk to his dad a lot and him

and his wife, I got back from a cruise

 

674

00:30:20,285 --> 00:30:22,320

and it's a few years back and

 

675

00:30:23,388 --> 00:30:25,356

I said so yeah, Mr. Cook, I wasn't.

 

676

00:30:25,356 --> 00:30:27,692

He goes, Oh,

I was. Yeah. And it was great.

 

677

00:30:28,660 --> 00:30:29,494

And Mrs.

 

678

00:30:29,494 --> 00:30:31,262

Cook says, Well,

are you going to tell him?

 

679

00:30:31,262 --> 00:30:33,898

And you tell him what you wanted to do?

 

680

00:30:33,898 --> 00:30:36,467

And he goes, Yeah,

we went to a nude beach.

 

681

00:30:36,467 --> 00:30:39,037

Now, this an older couple, right?

 

682

00:30:39,037 --> 00:30:42,340

He goes, But you didn't have to be nude

 

683

00:30:42,340 --> 00:30:44,876

me in the commander

that's what he used to call his wife.

 

684

00:30:44,943 --> 00:30:48,179

The commander used me

and the commander we had.

 

685

00:30:48,913 --> 00:30:52,717

And she said, Bob,

the only people that were naked

 

686

00:30:53,251 --> 00:30:57,555

or hairy old men,

it was the most disgusting she was.

 

687

00:30:57,555 --> 00:31:00,258

He, he thought it was going to

be like a James Bond movie.

 

688

00:31:03,695 --> 00:31:04,128

You know, you're

 

689

00:31:04,128 --> 00:31:06,698

talking to an old couple when one of them

called the other one, the commander.

 

690

00:31:07,232 --> 00:31:09,634

Oh, the commander.

 

691

00:31:09,968 --> 00:31:13,838

And he and right to her face right there.

 

692

00:31:14,305 --> 00:31:16,241

You know, there was no hiding it.

 

693

00:31:16,241 --> 00:31:18,810

Yeah, but it was they were funny couple.

 

694

00:31:18,810 --> 00:31:20,912

They really funny couple.

 

695

00:31:20,912 --> 00:31:21,613

All right.

 

696

00:31:21,613 --> 00:31:24,282

My next one is being excellent

communicator.

 

697

00:31:24,282 --> 00:31:28,519

I tell you what,

I only a business and dealing with people,

 

698

00:31:28,519 --> 00:31:32,457

I think is a that is a skill set

that is very, very important.

 

699

00:31:33,091 --> 00:31:35,894

Communication

is everything you communication

 

700

00:31:35,894 --> 00:31:39,264

of how you represent yourself

and how you sell your business.

 

701

00:31:40,832 --> 00:31:41,900

You set expectations.

 

702

00:31:41,900 --> 00:31:44,869

But we always talk about making sure

we set the expectations.

 

703

00:31:44,869 --> 00:31:48,139

It's so hard

to get you out of so many problems

 

704

00:31:48,606 --> 00:31:50,642

just by simply being a great communicator.

 

705

00:31:51,209 --> 00:31:53,411

And it communicate communicating.

 

706

00:31:53,411 --> 00:31:56,381

There are

there are many, many books and styles.

 

707

00:31:56,381 --> 00:31:58,383

A way to communicate

is really an art form.

 

708

00:31:58,383 --> 00:32:00,118

Not to say that I am by any means

 

709

00:32:02,153 --> 00:32:04,722

you know, mastered it by no stretch.

 

710

00:32:04,722 --> 00:32:07,191

Imagination

be good. Master of communications.

 

711

00:32:07,425 --> 00:32:10,261

Yeah, it's really important to use it.

 

712

00:32:10,695 --> 00:32:14,198

And I've known great, great installers,

great finishers

 

713

00:32:14,599 --> 00:32:18,603

that that ended up having problems because

they just did not communicate very well.

 

714

00:32:19,938 --> 00:32:23,074

So communication to me,

I think it's better to overcommunicate

 

715

00:32:23,541 --> 00:32:26,144

than other communicate

and just the way that you communicate

 

716

00:32:26,144 --> 00:32:30,548

your body language or mannerisms,

eye contact, all that is shaking hands and

 

717

00:32:30,548 --> 00:32:34,786

with a good firm handshake and everything

and all that stuff still matters.

 

718

00:32:34,919 --> 00:32:38,690

So being a great communicator

will absolutely help you with business

 

719

00:32:40,291 --> 00:32:41,459

excellent.

 

720

00:32:41,659 --> 00:32:43,928

My kind, my next role

and kind of goes with that.

 

721

00:32:44,429 --> 00:32:48,032

Every situation doesn't need a reaction.

 

722

00:32:49,367 --> 00:32:52,603

Or the older

I get, the more I realize that.

 

723

00:32:53,137 --> 00:32:55,239

Yeah, isn't that it? Yeah.

 

724

00:32:55,239 --> 00:32:57,976

I'm glad you said that because

 

725

00:32:59,043 --> 00:33:01,980

man, that was me in a nutshell, you know,

 

726

00:33:02,747 --> 00:33:05,883

going from my thirties

into my fifties and sixties.

 

727

00:33:06,250 --> 00:33:06,918

Yeah.

 

728

00:33:07,952 --> 00:33:09,187

You know, it's I don't communicate.

 

729

00:33:09,187 --> 00:33:12,857

I don't I really don't talk

about much on social media other than that

 

730

00:33:12,991 --> 00:33:17,528

very simple stuff because people, people,

you know, give them

 

731

00:33:17,895 --> 00:33:21,366

take things different ways or whatever,

and then I just don't care.

 

732

00:33:21,366 --> 00:33:22,066

I don't care.

 

733

00:33:22,066 --> 00:33:25,169

I don't want to get you can go down that

road of arguing with everybody, you know?

 

734

00:33:25,203 --> 00:33:28,606

I mean, I've got a friend that does that

and I just it's just too much energy.

 

735

00:33:30,475 --> 00:33:33,745

And I think women can appreciate this

because there's an expression

 

736

00:33:33,745 --> 00:33:38,883

out there called mansplaining

that the that I think drives women crazy.

 

737

00:33:38,883 --> 00:33:40,952

I mean, are you are you listening? I mean,

 

738

00:33:44,889 --> 00:33:45,857

right.

 

739

00:33:45,857 --> 00:33:46,557

Right.

 

740

00:33:46,791 --> 00:33:47,225

Yeah.

 

741

00:33:51,329 --> 00:33:54,365

We had to wake her up. No.

 

742

00:33:54,966 --> 00:33:57,902

I mean, do you want to comment on that?

 

743

00:33:58,803 --> 00:34:01,172

On mansplaining? Yeah.

You know what I mean?

 

744

00:34:01,205 --> 00:34:02,540

You heard the expression.

 

745

00:34:02,540 --> 00:34:04,542

Yeah, I have. Yeah.

 

746

00:34:04,542 --> 00:34:05,076

I've heard it.

 

747

00:34:05,076 --> 00:34:06,144

What is it?

 

748

00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:10,381

What is it?

 

749

00:34:10,448 --> 00:34:12,784

Well, okay, this if I can explain this.

 

750

00:34:13,151 --> 00:34:15,620

Yeah, let's let's say

 

751

00:34:17,422 --> 00:34:19,791

you're talking about something, okay?

 

752

00:34:19,791 --> 00:34:24,195

And the man just assumes that she doesn't

quite understand it, so he breaks

 

753

00:34:24,195 --> 00:34:28,833

it down to her in what he does, what,

you know, from his point of view.

 

754

00:34:29,167 --> 00:34:29,934

Okay.

 

755

00:34:30,268 --> 00:34:32,270

And then,

you know, not taking account of that,

 

756

00:34:32,270 --> 00:34:35,473

you probably might know more than he does

or she doesn't need his help.

 

757

00:34:35,473 --> 00:34:37,575

Or she has her own opinion

that she doesn't need

 

758

00:34:37,575 --> 00:34:39,977

someone else

to interject there. That I think.

 

759

00:34:40,011 --> 00:34:42,046

Would you say that

that's pretty accurate enough?

 

760

00:34:42,380 --> 00:34:44,782

Yeah, that's pretty accurate. Yeah.

 

761

00:34:44,782 --> 00:34:47,685

So I've seen as an action

when you want to when you cringe

 

762

00:34:48,219 --> 00:34:50,088

and sometimes it's with the best.

 

763

00:34:50,088 --> 00:34:53,458

There's probably a lot of older

guys do this the job of your guys and it's

 

764

00:34:53,458 --> 00:34:58,830

probably with mostly good intentions, but

it's like, dude, I didn't need your help.

 

765

00:34:58,830 --> 00:35:00,898

I got it, you know, blah, blah, blah.

 

766

00:35:00,898 --> 00:35:02,400

So now, you know,

 

767

00:35:04,135 --> 00:35:07,605

mansplaining so so you can go home,

you go bowling

 

768

00:35:07,939 --> 00:35:11,409

and something comes up, go listen,

let me mansplain this to you, okay?

 

769

00:35:12,009 --> 00:35:12,610

Here's the way.

 

770

00:35:12,610 --> 00:35:15,480

Just break it down to the more basic

 

771

00:35:16,514 --> 00:35:17,815

start from there.

 

772

00:35:17,815 --> 00:35:22,553

And watch out mad

you have made the room get so okay.

 

773

00:35:22,987 --> 00:35:24,789

Yeah, don't do that.

 

774

00:35:24,789 --> 00:35:25,022

Right.

 

775

00:35:25,022 --> 00:35:28,793

So good

communication is it's a skill set that I,

 

776

00:35:29,327 --> 00:35:32,497

I think you we

 

777

00:35:32,497 --> 00:35:34,232

by working on that I can make you a level

 

778

00:35:34,232 --> 00:35:35,166

are easier

 

779

00:35:39,237 --> 00:35:39,670

okay.

 

780

00:35:39,937 --> 00:35:41,038

You're up.

 

781

00:35:41,372 --> 00:35:43,708

I think I thought I was done, but.

 

782

00:35:43,741 --> 00:35:44,475

Okay,

 

783

00:35:46,010 --> 00:35:48,513

I did communicate.

 

784

00:35:48,913 --> 00:35:49,780

Oh, no, you.

 

785

00:35:49,780 --> 00:35:50,581

You're right.

 

786

00:35:51,449 --> 00:35:53,084

I've got four left.

 

787

00:35:53,084 --> 00:35:54,318

Okay, well.

 

788

00:35:54,318 --> 00:35:56,554

So all right, so I'll do it number four.

 

789

00:35:56,554 --> 00:35:59,657

And actually, I put this one down.

 

790

00:35:59,657 --> 00:36:02,160

This is a Wayne ism,

but I heard you say this one time,

 

791

00:36:03,060 --> 00:36:06,130

and, man,

did I ever fall in love with this one?

 

792

00:36:07,398 --> 00:36:08,833

A lion

 

793

00:36:09,033 --> 00:36:12,637

doesn't care what a sheep thinks.

 

794

00:36:13,070 --> 00:36:14,071

And at one time

 

795

00:36:14,071 --> 00:36:16,574

that you said that to me,

I had said something to you,

 

796

00:36:17,241 --> 00:36:20,211

and you got to use it on me,

which I thought was

 

797

00:36:21,512 --> 00:36:22,513

really funny.

 

798

00:36:22,513 --> 00:36:25,183

And really put me in my place there.

 

799

00:36:25,183 --> 00:36:28,419

I was like, oh, that's down that.

 

800

00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:29,887

That's dung.

 

801

00:36:29,887 --> 00:36:30,688

I like that one.

 

802

00:36:30,688 --> 00:36:33,191

But there's a lot of meaning to that, too.

 

803

00:36:33,958 --> 00:36:36,360

A lion doesn't care

about the opinions of the sea.

 

804

00:36:36,661 --> 00:36:38,529

Yes, that's a wing.

 

805

00:36:38,529 --> 00:36:39,997

And I even wrote down Wayne as.

 

806

00:36:39,997 --> 00:36:42,166

Well that goes along with that.

 

807

00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,168

Yeah, that goes along with what

other people think,

 

808

00:36:44,168 --> 00:36:45,736

you know, your business or whatever.

 

809

00:36:45,736 --> 00:36:48,072

It's kind of it's kind of down that thing.

 

810

00:36:48,072 --> 00:36:52,210

But I and then again, the reason

why I think that is important,

 

811

00:36:52,210 --> 00:36:56,948

but I really mean by that 10th of that

is, you know, you just, just

 

812

00:36:58,249 --> 00:37:00,885

you do

you and you do you as best that you can.

 

813

00:37:01,085 --> 00:37:05,957

And don't worry about other opinions

of whatever detractors or whatever.

 

814

00:37:06,324 --> 00:37:08,025

You try to do the right thing.

 

815

00:37:08,025 --> 00:37:10,328

You know, you try professional,

blah, blah, blah.

 

816

00:37:10,328 --> 00:37:15,433

You do all that stuff and then just worry

about our pitfalls involved.

 

817

00:37:15,533 --> 00:37:17,235

But then there's another question.

 

818

00:37:17,235 --> 00:37:20,471

I think they're all almost

you can put in with that one, too.

 

819

00:37:20,471 --> 00:37:23,341

Is no your worth.

 

820

00:37:23,341 --> 00:37:24,642

Yeah. Yeah.

 

821

00:37:24,642 --> 00:37:27,211

That kind of falls in line with well.

 

822

00:37:27,511 --> 00:37:28,846

I've said this before, too.

 

823

00:37:28,846 --> 00:37:32,216

It also reminds me of this expression

when you go fishing is that talk

 

824

00:37:32,850 --> 00:37:36,020

where you show up for a bass

term to go fishing

 

825

00:37:36,020 --> 00:37:37,722

and you have something in mind

which you got to do

 

826

00:37:37,722 --> 00:37:42,360

and you start getting distracted by

or sidetracked by people saying,

 

827

00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:46,530

oh, to either catching one person

three feet of water over some of those.

 

828

00:37:46,530 --> 00:37:49,166

You're yesterday

and he just got all kinds of using a rip

 

829

00:37:50,167 --> 00:37:52,203

curl and blue, blah, blah, blah.

 

830

00:37:52,203 --> 00:37:54,605

And you went there thinking that today

 

831

00:37:54,605 --> 00:37:56,907

I'm going to do nothing

but throw jig in deep one

 

832

00:37:58,075 --> 00:37:59,944

because I've done it

I have confidence in it.

 

833

00:37:59,944 --> 00:38:02,280

I feel like they're there

and all of a sudden

 

834

00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,583

you start in other people,

you get it gets in your head

 

835

00:38:06,050 --> 00:38:09,120

and you get out of your game plans

that are you doing what you do

 

836

00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,489

and being confident,

what you did, what you do.

 

837

00:38:11,489 --> 00:38:14,525

You went off on some of the changes

because somebody said something.

 

838

00:38:15,293 --> 00:38:16,761

I think let you know your path.

 

839

00:38:16,761 --> 00:38:18,629

You stick a little stick to your path.

 

840

00:38:18,629 --> 00:38:19,730

I always keep an open mind.

 

841

00:38:19,730 --> 00:38:23,401

But but you have confidence

to do what you set out to do.

 

842

00:38:23,834 --> 00:38:25,469

Absolutely.

 

843

00:38:25,636 --> 00:38:27,505

Okay.

 

844

00:38:29,807 --> 00:38:32,643

Your skill will be determined

by the appearance of your work.

 

845

00:38:33,010 --> 00:38:34,545

Do not use inferior materials

 

846

00:38:36,814 --> 00:38:41,585

I even when I didn't have much money.

 

847

00:38:41,585 --> 00:38:41,819

You know,

 

848

00:38:41,819 --> 00:38:44,955

starting off in the business, I knew

it was important to use good product.

 

849

00:38:44,955 --> 00:38:47,558

I knew it was important to surround myself

with people

 

850

00:38:47,858 --> 00:38:52,530

I knew was important to even with a kid

that didn't have much to carry myself

 

851

00:38:52,530 --> 00:38:58,302

like I did and to to look up to people

in this industry that I respected

 

852

00:38:58,736 --> 00:39:02,139

and to surround myself

with good people and have good intentions.

 

853

00:39:03,974 --> 00:39:06,811

I I think that I don't get bogged down,

 

854

00:39:07,345 --> 00:39:09,780

that I hate the expression,

hey, man, hey, man.

 

855

00:39:09,814 --> 00:39:11,515

They'll work too hard today, man.

 

856

00:39:11,515 --> 00:39:13,484

Hey, man, take it easy.

 

857

00:39:13,584 --> 00:39:16,053

I really drive you crazy because why not?

 

858

00:39:16,487 --> 00:39:17,221

Why not?

 

859

00:39:17,221 --> 00:39:18,622

Let me get up and attack the day.

 

860

00:39:18,622 --> 00:39:18,889

Get up.

 

861

00:39:18,889 --> 00:39:23,561

We were mad at me just because that's

because it's a positive thing to do.

 

862

00:39:23,561 --> 00:39:24,261

In life.

 

863

00:39:24,261 --> 00:39:28,165

So I don't get

I don't like that that that mindset,

 

864

00:39:28,532 --> 00:39:31,836

it has nothing to do with my job now

or whatever or even the contrary.

 

865

00:39:31,836 --> 00:39:35,773

I think no matter what I was doing

in life, that's my, my it's my feeling.

 

866

00:39:35,773 --> 00:39:36,807

Just get up and

 

867

00:39:36,807 --> 00:39:37,708

and do the best you can

 

868

00:39:37,708 --> 00:39:40,611

is that they try to learn some

try to make today better than yesterday.

 

869

00:39:40,945 --> 00:39:42,012

This is unbelievable.

 

870

00:39:42,012 --> 00:39:44,348

We didn't even practice we did not.

 

871

00:39:44,415 --> 00:39:46,417

Know about practice.

 

872

00:39:47,585 --> 00:39:49,153

Practice.

 

873

00:39:50,221 --> 00:39:51,889

It's our coach that.

 

874

00:39:51,889 --> 00:39:57,094

Was the coach it was a dude from the 76th

basketball player.

 

875

00:39:57,294 --> 00:39:57,728

Okay.

 

876

00:39:57,728 --> 00:40:00,965

I thought it was the coach that was

I know there was one football coach.

 

877

00:40:00,965 --> 00:40:03,934

He was screaming playoffs playoffs.

 

878

00:40:04,502 --> 00:40:05,403

Yeah.

 

879

00:40:05,703 --> 00:40:07,705

I can't believe that you said that.

 

880

00:40:07,705 --> 00:40:11,275

We didn't we didn't know

what each one of us was going to say. No.

 

881

00:40:12,009 --> 00:40:14,345

And you just went on on yours.

 

882

00:40:14,378 --> 00:40:16,747

Now we're getting towards the end.

 

883

00:40:16,747 --> 00:40:19,116

So these are

the ones that are really important to you.

 

884

00:40:20,351 --> 00:40:22,653

And you just said attack every day.

 

885

00:40:23,788 --> 00:40:27,124

My number three is sharks.

 

886

00:40:27,124 --> 00:40:30,027

Don't complain about it being Monday.

 

887

00:40:30,027 --> 00:40:34,632

Oh, get up and get up every day

and just do shark stuff.

 

888

00:40:34,632 --> 00:40:38,702

Run around chase and fight

and be in a shark.

 

889

00:40:39,036 --> 00:40:39,703

Yeah,

 

890

00:40:40,905 --> 00:40:42,673

I've never heard the expression

before, but I like it.

 

891

00:40:43,874 --> 00:40:45,676

Yeah, I like.

 

892

00:40:45,676 --> 00:40:48,012

Yeah. All right. I'm happy

I got one for it.

 

893

00:40:48,012 --> 00:40:49,680

Reminds me of another depression.

 

894

00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:51,782

See if I can get this right.

 

895

00:40:51,882 --> 00:40:54,285

And this was this was in reference to

 

896

00:40:55,586 --> 00:40:59,490

the country singer George Jones

and how good a singer he is.

 

897

00:40:59,957 --> 00:41:03,627

And the guy in the article wrote,

When a deer gets up in the morning,

 

898

00:41:03,661 --> 00:41:05,996

it doesn't say itself. I'm going to run

pretty today.

 

899

00:41:06,330 --> 00:41:08,833

It just runs. It just runs, right?

 

900

00:41:09,166 --> 00:41:10,534

Yeah. Yeah.

 

901

00:41:10,534 --> 00:41:11,101

I like that.

 

902

00:41:11,101 --> 00:41:12,970

I like that one, too. About the sharks.

 

903

00:41:12,970 --> 00:41:14,872

Say one more time about the sharks.

 

904

00:41:14,872 --> 00:41:16,407

Sharks don't care about money.

 

905

00:41:16,407 --> 00:41:18,108

Sharks don't care. It's Monday.

 

906

00:41:18,108 --> 00:41:20,711

They just get up every day.

 

907

00:41:20,711 --> 00:41:24,482

Running around doing shark stuff, biting,

chasing, being a shark.

 

908

00:41:24,982 --> 00:41:27,918

I like it.

Shark doesn't care about Mondays.

 

909

00:41:29,053 --> 00:41:29,453

I can't

 

910

00:41:29,453 --> 00:41:33,524

believe that was right

after what you were just talking about.

 

911

00:41:33,524 --> 00:41:35,726

About getting up and attacking the day.

 

912

00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,929

Wow. East Coast. West Coast.

 

913

00:41:39,096 --> 00:41:40,431

We're in sync.

 

914

00:41:41,565 --> 00:41:42,166

All right.

 

915

00:41:42,166 --> 00:41:45,302

And a bell. Yes,

 

916

00:41:45,302 --> 00:41:47,538

because now.

 

917

00:41:47,538 --> 00:41:49,006

I got two left.

 

918

00:41:49,006 --> 00:41:51,642

Okay. Then I'll go with two as well.

 

919

00:41:51,642 --> 00:41:53,477

I'll start with every step you do.

 

920

00:41:53,477 --> 00:41:55,813

She complement the next step,

 

921

00:41:55,813 --> 00:41:59,683

and the more you get in that mindset.

 

922

00:42:00,017 --> 00:42:02,887

And when we finish something,

I want to be completely done.

 

923

00:42:02,887 --> 00:42:05,322

It's finished

and move on to the next step.

 

924

00:42:05,756 --> 00:42:07,591

When I get that done,

I want to get that done

 

925

00:42:07,591 --> 00:42:08,959

because that sets me up for the next step.

 

926

00:42:08,959 --> 00:42:10,828

I don't like going backwards.

 

927

00:42:10,828 --> 00:42:13,664

I want to get something done

and I want to keep making progress.

 

928

00:42:13,664 --> 00:42:18,435

I've worked with guys before and like

I know a guy I worked with for a while.

 

929

00:42:19,603 --> 00:42:20,070

He would get the

 

930

00:42:20,070 --> 00:42:22,406

job done and it would be stunning,

 

931

00:42:23,140 --> 00:42:25,976

but it was like one step forward,

two steps back,

 

932

00:42:26,210 --> 00:42:29,446

three steps forward, two steps

back, one step forward, one step.

 

933

00:42:29,446 --> 00:42:31,148

You know what I mean is like, yeah,

 

934

00:42:31,148 --> 00:42:34,718

it's like he never quite

finished everything and except from that.

 

935

00:42:34,718 --> 00:42:36,120

So that's definitely helped do that.

 

936

00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:36,887

And the goal that we didn't

 

937

00:42:36,887 --> 00:42:40,124

quite finish this step

well, let's just be something and move on.

 

938

00:42:40,691 --> 00:42:45,062

Reminds me of the guy that one time

I said, Why did you get involved today?

 

939

00:42:45,629 --> 00:42:48,499

Oh, we got,

I did about 1200 feet by myself to the way

 

940

00:42:48,899 --> 00:42:51,302

you start to over two feet by something

that's fantastic.

 

941

00:42:51,302 --> 00:42:53,103

They have a great day.

 

942

00:42:53,103 --> 00:42:56,040

Then I go out to the job site and yes,

he did.

 

943

00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:57,942

He then blew up any of the walls.

 

944

00:42:57,942 --> 00:43:00,844

He didn't like all

but the last four rows, every single one.

 

945

00:43:01,078 --> 00:43:05,816

He didn't do the closets in the

so the next is going to get 60 feet.

 

946

00:43:06,083 --> 00:43:06,617

You're ready

 

947

00:43:07,785 --> 00:43:10,721

you can instead of finishing that room,

he just went to the next room

 

948

00:43:10,821 --> 00:43:13,791

they set up to the wall,

which is fine if you're the one.

 

949

00:43:13,891 --> 00:43:16,260

But you lived it for me,

you know what I mean?

 

950

00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:18,262

No, I know exactly what you mean.

 

951

00:43:18,262 --> 00:43:20,431

Yeah. Yeah.

 

952

00:43:20,431 --> 00:43:20,998

All right.

 

953

00:43:20,998 --> 00:43:22,199

I'm going to go to this job.

 

954

00:43:22,199 --> 00:43:24,268

Pete's going to go to another job.

 

955

00:43:24,268 --> 00:43:25,035

How'd you do?

 

956

00:43:25,035 --> 00:43:26,971

Oh, I got about 800 Vito.

 

957

00:43:26,971 --> 00:43:28,672

Oh, man, that's awesome.

 

958

00:43:28,672 --> 00:43:31,041

Yeah, I drummed it three times.

I didn't edge once.

 

959

00:43:31,041 --> 00:43:32,242

I didn't scrape a corner.

 

960

00:43:32,242 --> 00:43:34,345

I didn't wonder. A radiator.

 

961

00:43:34,945 --> 00:43:36,080

Oh, yeah, that was me.

 

962

00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:36,547

Matt.

 

963

00:43:38,515 --> 00:43:40,718

All right, we just got

 

964

00:43:42,886 --> 00:43:43,554

my kids.

 

965

00:43:43,554 --> 00:43:45,422

Sent me this one,

 

966

00:43:45,556 --> 00:43:49,259

and for some reason,

it it's always just cracked me up,

 

967

00:43:49,259 --> 00:43:53,564

but it always made a little sense

you can't hurt my feelings.

 

968

00:43:54,231 --> 00:43:57,067

When I was a kid,

I had to hold the flashlight for my dad.

 

969

00:44:00,371 --> 00:44:02,973

And all my kids

 

970

00:44:02,973 --> 00:44:05,409

at one time or another

working on something.

 

971

00:44:06,644 --> 00:44:10,614

And I'm telling, hold the flashlight

and not holding it in the right place.

 

972

00:44:10,614 --> 00:44:12,516

How frustrating that can be.

 

973

00:44:12,516 --> 00:44:15,152

And I start screaming at him

and everything,

 

974

00:44:15,152 --> 00:44:19,023

and they saw that and sent that to me,

and they're like, man, we got to get it.

 

975

00:44:19,356 --> 00:44:20,891

This is this is you.

 

976

00:44:20,891 --> 00:44:23,460

I'm like, well, yeah,

that was my dad, too, you know? So

 

977

00:44:24,962 --> 00:44:27,164

that's all my feelings.

 

978

00:44:27,164 --> 00:44:29,366

You can't hurt my feelings.

 

979

00:44:29,366 --> 00:44:31,035

I had to hold the flashlight from.

 

980

00:44:31,035 --> 00:44:32,936

Oh, God, you guys okay?

 

981

00:44:32,936 --> 00:44:34,772

Yeah, I like. That's pretty good.

 

982

00:44:34,772 --> 00:44:36,106

Yeah, I God.

 

983

00:44:36,106 --> 00:44:38,208

Well, the funny part about it was

 

984

00:44:38,942 --> 00:44:41,712

they had, like, specific stories,

you know.

 

985

00:44:45,916 --> 00:44:46,417

Pretty good

 

986

00:44:46,417 --> 00:44:49,086

that we've all been there to man.

 

987

00:44:49,720 --> 00:44:52,623

All right, I want to go with

 

988

00:44:52,623 --> 00:44:55,292

if you're if you have a problem

with something, you can't figure it out.

 

989

00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:57,494

It's a competitive market today.

 

990

00:44:57,494 --> 00:45:00,564

There's no room

or time for learning by trial and error.

 

991

00:45:00,931 --> 00:45:03,267

Sometimes, like,

you kind of know how to do something.

 

992

00:45:03,634 --> 00:45:06,437

You kind of have an idea to do something

like, let's say

 

993

00:45:06,870 --> 00:45:09,606

like Herringbone,

you have a pretty good idea about you.

 

994

00:45:09,740 --> 00:45:12,976

There's still four questions in your head

and you keep barging forward.

 

995

00:45:13,143 --> 00:45:14,578

Never get those questions resolved.

 

996

00:45:16,447 --> 00:45:19,817

I resolved that.

 

997

00:45:19,817 --> 00:45:23,420

Find out what all the all the angles

around something, no pun intended.

 

998

00:45:23,754 --> 00:45:27,891

Before you move

on, don't don't be satisfied with

 

999

00:45:27,891 --> 00:45:29,860

I can have a pretty good idea

how to do it.

 

1000

00:45:29,860 --> 00:45:31,328

I don't understand it quite.

 

1001

00:45:31,328 --> 00:45:33,464

There's enough knowledge out there now.

 

1002

00:45:33,464 --> 00:45:37,301

It's easily accessible

to find out all these answers

 

1003

00:45:37,701 --> 00:45:40,370

and otherwise

you got to go through with this.

 

1004

00:45:40,604 --> 00:45:43,474

There's this lack of confidence

that you got it

 

1005

00:45:43,474 --> 00:45:46,343

all figured out

and that hurts you from job to job.

 

1006

00:45:46,877 --> 00:45:50,013

So if you're if you try to figure

something out, learn it.

 

1007

00:45:50,013 --> 00:45:50,881

The question marks

 

1008

00:45:50,881 --> 00:45:54,184

I would even write down the question marks

the questions that you have.

 

1009

00:45:54,685 --> 00:45:56,754

And these need to be addressed.

 

1010

00:45:56,754 --> 00:45:59,690

And with that procrastinate on that,

I would try to find out.

 

1011

00:45:59,690 --> 00:46:02,359

All right. What

why are these things coming up?

 

1012

00:46:02,359 --> 00:46:03,560

Why don't have these resolved?

 

1013

00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,330

And who can I find out

in order to do this?

 

1014

00:46:06,930 --> 00:46:08,732

So have to make the veteran.

 

1015

00:46:08,732 --> 00:46:11,435

You know, I had all the trainings.

 

1016

00:46:12,269 --> 00:46:14,671

I, I give this speech

 

1017

00:46:14,671 --> 00:46:17,274

almost exactly what you're talking about.

 

1018

00:46:17,274 --> 00:46:22,279

And I'll say, you know, if someone comes

up to you and they're holding a magazine

 

1019

00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:24,481

and they've got

 

1020

00:46:24,481 --> 00:46:27,751

a wire brush, blue floor, or whatever.

 

1021

00:46:28,352 --> 00:46:32,156

What we've all had that, you know,

and you're looking at it

 

1022

00:46:32,156 --> 00:46:35,159

going, I've never done anything like that

in my life.

 

1023

00:46:36,093 --> 00:46:39,596

Well, one of the and to stay

with what you were just talking about,

 

1024

00:46:39,596 --> 00:46:43,367

about getting confidence

to do things before moving forward,

 

1025

00:46:43,934 --> 00:46:46,770

it's something that I tell everybody

that comes to our trainings

 

1026

00:46:48,038 --> 00:46:50,073

please use our training centers

 

1027

00:46:50,073 --> 00:46:52,976

for that kind of a deal.

 

1028

00:46:52,976 --> 00:46:54,878

Never say no.

 

1029

00:46:55,045 --> 00:46:56,480

Come to their training center.

 

1030

00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,316

Call whoever team, call me, call whoever

 

1031

00:46:59,850 --> 00:47:03,153

or meet you there will help you

figure all this stuff out.

 

1032

00:47:03,153 --> 00:47:05,189

We have all the products, all the world.

 

1033

00:47:05,189 --> 00:47:07,724

We got everything or nothing, really.

 

1034

00:47:07,724 --> 00:47:08,492

Almost nothing.

 

1035

00:47:08,492 --> 00:47:10,794

We can't do it. A training center.

 

1036

00:47:10,794 --> 00:47:15,632

And I tell everybody, come here,

get your crazy battle plans.

 

1037

00:47:15,632 --> 00:47:17,668

Game plans, whatever.

 

1038

00:47:17,668 --> 00:47:19,670

Get it here. Figure it out here.

 

1039

00:47:19,937 --> 00:47:22,906

Then when you're out on the job

and you look like a champion.

 

1040

00:47:23,574 --> 00:47:28,278

So I'm going to use Ebony for the

first time, and I'm going to do a header.

 

1041

00:47:28,312 --> 00:47:30,447

I'm not sure what great to

finish off with the edge or

 

1042

00:47:31,648 --> 00:47:33,150

or the power drive.

 

1043

00:47:33,150 --> 00:47:37,287

And I got a border where I've got a wall

where I want to make sure everything

 

1044

00:47:37,287 --> 00:47:40,490

blends 100% and do just just take it

 

1045

00:47:40,490 --> 00:47:43,560

to one of our panels and and use that.

 

1046

00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:46,029

Use that for your freedom.

In your practice room.

 

1047

00:47:46,396 --> 00:47:47,831

I don't have a place.

 

1048

00:47:47,831 --> 00:47:48,732

That's what is there for.

 

1049

00:47:48,732 --> 00:47:50,367

We nothing makes us feel better.

 

1050

00:47:50,367 --> 00:47:53,704

Then we'll give somebody else a hand.

 

1051

00:47:53,704 --> 00:47:54,638

So cool.

 

1052

00:47:54,638 --> 00:47:55,305

I mean,

 

1053

00:47:55,372 --> 00:47:56,306

I know people know

 

1054

00:47:56,306 --> 00:47:59,142

that we have the training centers

and everything, but I think sometimes

 

1055

00:48:00,077 --> 00:48:04,281

people just assume that they're for,

you know, kind of our formal

 

1056

00:48:04,281 --> 00:48:08,852

two and three day trainings

where, you know, they're really geared.

 

1057

00:48:08,852 --> 00:48:11,688

We want to use these things every day,

you know?

 

1058

00:48:13,090 --> 00:48:14,458

Well, okay, I got one more.

 

1059

00:48:14,458 --> 00:48:16,860

Let's do that. Yeah.

 

1060

00:48:16,860 --> 00:48:17,761

I got one more.

 

1061

00:48:17,761 --> 00:48:20,163

So you do yours and then I'll do mine.

 

1062

00:48:20,163 --> 00:48:22,966

Okay. The next one is very simply,

 

1063

00:48:24,301 --> 00:48:25,936

do it right the first time

 

1064

00:48:25,936 --> 00:48:29,072

if there's time enough to do it

or there's not enough time to it, right?

 

1065

00:48:29,072 --> 00:48:30,474

First timers, you're not going to be time.

 

1066

00:48:30,474 --> 00:48:32,609

Do it right the second time.

 

1067

00:48:32,609 --> 00:48:35,379

So a lot of times

what I, what I try to teach

 

1068

00:48:35,379 --> 00:48:37,714

myself is patience is just take the time.

 

1069

00:48:38,615 --> 00:48:41,151

Just get it done right the first time.

 

1070

00:48:41,151 --> 00:48:42,552

Before you move on to something else.

 

1071

00:48:42,552 --> 00:48:44,321

And so you feel good about it

and whatever.

 

1072

00:48:44,321 --> 00:48:46,456

You don't leave any question

no doubt in your mind

 

1073

00:48:48,225 --> 00:48:49,293

if it's

 

1074

00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:52,429

if the supporters do what it's doing,

 

1075

00:48:53,063 --> 00:48:56,266

if you want to be if there's issues,

whether them this stuff

 

1076

00:48:56,266 --> 00:48:59,503

was that too much now

to fix this up or whatever

 

1077

00:48:59,603 --> 00:49:03,407

it's not within 36 general span

get those things done.

 

1078

00:49:03,941 --> 00:49:05,042

Get them behind you

 

1079

00:49:05,042 --> 00:49:08,578

because they will have a tendency

to hurt you your your entire career

 

1080

00:49:08,612 --> 00:49:11,081

but if you don't

they'll be so many things out there

 

1081

00:49:11,581 --> 00:49:15,285

that gets you that

that you don't know where their role

 

1082

00:49:15,919 --> 00:49:18,555

is going to come around

is going out all the time.

 

1083

00:49:18,822 --> 00:49:20,557

I didn't do this quite right on this job.

 

1084

00:49:20,557 --> 00:49:23,126

Now all of a sudden this comes out

that comes up.

 

1085

00:49:23,460 --> 00:49:25,963

So so you don't have those things

out there haunting you.

 

1086

00:49:26,930 --> 00:49:27,531

You know,

 

1087

00:49:27,764 --> 00:49:31,201

in Oakland, they had the earthquake,

I think about all the way.

 

1088

00:49:31,201 --> 00:49:32,903

I think about this poor guy

 

1089

00:49:32,903 --> 00:49:36,740

from time to time in the other earthquake

I think was in 1989 he was here

 

1090

00:49:36,773 --> 00:49:39,643

the World Series

the Oakland A's versus the Giants

 

1091

00:49:40,143 --> 00:49:43,647

and the bridge I was 17 and highway 17.

 

1092

00:49:43,647 --> 00:49:46,750

The bridge I was 17 was a freeway

that went through Oakland.

 

1093

00:49:46,750 --> 00:49:49,920

There was an upper deck in the lower deck

during the earthquake.

 

1094

00:49:49,987 --> 00:49:52,856

The upper deck

collapsed on top of the lower deck

 

1095

00:49:52,856 --> 00:49:56,660

and the engineers were surprised

like why would this happen.

 

1096

00:49:56,660 --> 00:50:00,130

I mean yes it was a bad earthquake and

everything but then it's catastrophic. Yes

 

1097

00:50:01,965 --> 00:50:06,003

the crushed and killed a lot of people

that run that lower deck.

 

1098

00:50:06,003 --> 00:50:08,839

Right. Kill that people

the upper deck too.

 

1099

00:50:08,839 --> 00:50:11,808

But when they went through

to find out what happened, what

 

1100

00:50:11,875 --> 00:50:14,111

how did this go wrong

with all the engineering and everything,

 

1101

00:50:14,778 --> 00:50:16,813

you know,

the columns that you put the columns up

 

1102

00:50:16,813 --> 00:50:19,850

and the big columns

and they put the freeway on top

 

1103

00:50:21,218 --> 00:50:21,918

where they put that.

 

1104

00:50:21,918 --> 00:50:26,590

When you put the rebar in before they pour

the concrete, you put the rebar going up

 

1105

00:50:26,957 --> 00:50:29,092

and then you have these one stick

and then they go around it.

 

1106

00:50:29,426 --> 00:50:31,228

Well, they left them out

 

1107

00:50:31,461 --> 00:50:33,697

then engineer they they left them out.

 

1108

00:50:33,697 --> 00:50:38,168

And he said it's hard to revise

after he was retired or so.

 

1109

00:50:38,168 --> 00:50:40,704

So when they went back into the research,

 

1110

00:50:41,271 --> 00:50:44,941

they recognized that they didn't

put rebar going around and they went back

 

1111

00:50:44,941 --> 00:50:48,745

to the guy on the job or the

whoever, that responsibility that was.

 

1112

00:50:49,146 --> 00:50:51,181

And he said that's hurting me

my entire life.

 

1113

00:50:52,082 --> 00:50:54,518

And how does he live with himself?

 

1114

00:50:54,918 --> 00:50:57,587

Well, he's retired now, so that's.

 

1115

00:50:57,587 --> 00:50:58,422

A tough one.

 

1116

00:50:58,422 --> 00:50:59,523

Yeah, that's a tough one.

 

1117

00:50:59,523 --> 00:51:02,359

They have that at the end of his career

when he should have been

 

1118

00:51:02,592 --> 00:51:05,028

you know, he's he's retired

and they're using old man

 

1119

00:51:06,129 --> 00:51:07,998

and have they come back in.

 

1120

00:51:07,998 --> 00:51:10,734

So that's a horrible it's a great example,

 

1121

00:51:10,734 --> 00:51:13,904

but also a horrible example of that,

 

1122

00:51:13,937 --> 00:51:16,406

not taking care of things

and how they can come back to bite.

 

1123

00:51:17,174 --> 00:51:18,041

So it's.

 

1124

00:51:18,108 --> 00:51:20,243

Absolutely so.

 

1125

00:51:20,243 --> 00:51:24,414

So that's your final in my final couldn't

be more complete opposite.

 

1126

00:51:24,414 --> 00:51:28,118

But before I get to my last one,

do you remember where you were.

 

1127

00:51:28,985 --> 00:51:30,120

Obviously what. Happened?

 

1128

00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:31,421

I was doing a floor.

 

1129

00:51:31,421 --> 00:51:33,757

And I'll tell you what that is.

 

1130

00:51:33,757 --> 00:51:36,293

It's funny that you should ask me this.

 

1131

00:51:36,293 --> 00:51:38,161

We're working on a house

in the open house.

 

1132

00:51:38,161 --> 00:51:40,230

I was hanging out.

It was a clipping, you know what I mean?

 

1133

00:51:40,597 --> 00:51:42,699

Where half the house is, you know,

you look out,

 

1134

00:51:42,699 --> 00:51:45,135

if you jumped, you'd be going

five storeys down.

 

1135

00:51:45,869 --> 00:51:47,704

And I was running a big machine.

 

1136

00:51:47,704 --> 00:51:49,406

My two brothers were two back,

 

1137

00:51:49,406 --> 00:51:52,175

and they came running

past me out the front door, honestly.

 

1138

00:51:53,176 --> 00:51:55,145

And I'm like, you know, with how they go.

 

1139

00:51:55,145 --> 00:51:57,280

And then my brother Dad comes back to me.

 

1140

00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:00,550

I said, when I'm at least came back

and said, get out of here is earthquake.

 

1141

00:52:01,084 --> 00:52:05,288

And, you know, in California, you're

fairly accustomed to earthquakes, and

 

1142

00:52:05,622 --> 00:52:09,526

but I never felt it its way of the magic

touch doing,

 

1143

00:52:09,526 --> 00:52:10,093

you know,

 

1144

00:52:13,430 --> 00:52:14,764

I never felt it at all.

 

1145

00:52:14,764 --> 00:52:18,969

So I never even considered

that you would have been in it now.

 

1146

00:52:18,969 --> 00:52:20,537

So then, oh. My.

 

1147

00:52:20,537 --> 00:52:23,673

God, we're standing outside the house

and other people coming out of there.

 

1148

00:52:23,673 --> 00:52:26,977

I was like, wow, that was a bad because

 

1149

00:52:26,977 --> 00:52:28,278

it's very common.

 

1150

00:52:28,278 --> 00:52:30,747

So I knew I had a bit to do and else

to redo it.

 

1151

00:52:30,747 --> 00:52:31,982

5 p.m..

 

1152

00:52:31,982 --> 00:52:32,682

Okay.

 

1153

00:52:32,682 --> 00:52:36,052

I go to my bed, I drive to bed,

and I'm not going to do about 5:00.

 

1154

00:52:36,052 --> 00:52:39,489

I ring the doorbell and a guy goes,

What are you doing here?

 

1155

00:52:40,290 --> 00:52:41,691

I said, We have an appointment at five.

 

1156

00:52:41,691 --> 00:52:44,227

He goes,

Oh my God, you hear what happened?

 

1157

00:52:44,227 --> 00:52:45,595

And boy, it was an earthquake.

 

1158

00:52:45,595 --> 00:52:46,029

Yeah, yeah.

 

1159

00:52:46,029 --> 00:52:48,098

And I felt you look at the Bay Bridge

 

1160

00:52:48,098 --> 00:52:50,700

and you can see

the Bay Bridge was out in the upper deck.

 

1161

00:52:51,001 --> 00:52:53,436

One of the Porsches up

that fell down on the lower deck.

 

1162

00:52:54,137 --> 00:52:57,741

He goes the highway

17 collapsed and I had no idea.

 

1163

00:52:58,575 --> 00:52:59,643

And so

 

1164

00:53:00,710 --> 00:53:03,513

I can't remember if I got the job in that

 

1165

00:53:05,048 --> 00:53:07,350

if it was a good day or bad.

 

1166

00:53:09,619 --> 00:53:09,819

Well,

 

1167

00:53:09,819 --> 00:53:11,988

Peter and I had coded a job in the morning

 

1168

00:53:13,056 --> 00:53:16,092

and I said, you know,

we could come back tonight

 

1169

00:53:16,993 --> 00:53:19,763

and put the final on

 

1170

00:53:19,763 --> 00:53:22,232

because they're moving back

in a couple of days.

 

1171

00:53:22,232 --> 00:53:25,769

And, you know, he's got that huge TV.

 

1172

00:53:25,769 --> 00:53:29,339

We, we can have the World Series on.

 

1173

00:53:29,339 --> 00:53:30,774

So it was like, yeah, cool.

 

1174

00:53:30,774 --> 00:53:33,977

You know, we'll be watching the World

Series, but also,

 

1175

00:53:34,244 --> 00:53:37,047

you know, putting down a coat

and making up time.

 

1176

00:53:37,047 --> 00:53:39,516

Yeah. So we thought,

oh, that's a great idea.

 

1177

00:53:39,516 --> 00:53:41,585

And we watched that whole thing happen.

 

1178

00:53:41,585 --> 00:53:43,420

I'll never forget all the players.

 

1179

00:53:43,420 --> 00:53:43,954

Yeah.

 

1180

00:53:43,954 --> 00:53:47,424

Families running on to the field

and you know, here

 

1181

00:53:47,424 --> 00:53:48,692

we are in the middle of a coach job.

 

1182

00:53:48,692 --> 00:53:52,395

So I will never forget

I will never forget where I was for that

 

1183

00:53:53,396 --> 00:53:54,397

that disaster.

 

1184

00:53:54,397 --> 00:53:56,333

That was never even crossed.

 

1185

00:53:56,333 --> 00:53:58,435

My mind that you lived there.

 

1186

00:53:58,435 --> 00:54:00,704

Yeah. Yeah.

 

1187

00:54:00,704 --> 00:54:03,840

And so my number one

 

1188

00:54:05,775 --> 00:54:07,677

number one of my top ten lists,

 

1189

00:54:07,677 --> 00:54:11,214

I know it's

going to sound stupid and simple, but

 

1190

00:54:13,216 --> 00:54:15,218

everybody expects nothing less.

 

1191

00:54:15,986 --> 00:54:16,820

Okay?

 

1192

00:54:16,886 --> 00:54:20,190

And these are words that I truly live by.

 

1193

00:54:20,190 --> 00:54:23,193

And I've tried to get my kids and wife

and everybody else to live.

 

1194

00:54:23,193 --> 00:54:26,162

My happiness is a choice.

 

1195

00:54:26,596 --> 00:54:28,698

But yeah, that's good.

 

1196

00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:33,970

You just see too many miserable people

and I wonder then myself, why.

 

1197

00:54:34,738 --> 00:54:36,506

Why am miserable now?

 

1198

00:54:36,506 --> 00:54:38,942

Yeah, we're all in the same.

 

1199

00:54:38,942 --> 00:54:40,677

We're all on the same show here.

 

1200

00:54:40,677 --> 00:54:41,578

You know,

 

1201

00:54:42,479 --> 00:54:44,547

you just making things worse, I think.

 

1202

00:54:44,547 --> 00:54:46,650

But happiness is a choice.

 

1203

00:54:46,650 --> 00:54:48,652

That's my that's my number one.

 

1204

00:54:48,652 --> 00:54:49,319

I like that.

 

1205

00:54:49,319 --> 00:54:52,555

And it's fitting on today

when you just have you do grandchild

 

1206

00:54:52,922 --> 00:54:54,224

coming into the world.

 

1207

00:54:54,224 --> 00:54:56,626

Isn't that crazy? Yeah.

 

1208

00:54:56,626 --> 00:54:57,527

Pretty cool.

 

1209

00:54:57,961 --> 00:55:00,363

Yeah. Oh. Thank you.

 

1210

00:55:00,363 --> 00:55:01,831

So that's it.

 

1211

00:55:01,831 --> 00:55:03,400

That's words live by on our.

 

1212

00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:05,402

Three years, man.

 

1213

00:55:05,402 --> 00:55:05,935

Yeah.

 

1214

00:55:06,102 --> 00:55:07,804

Congratulations. Three years.

 

1215

00:55:07,804 --> 00:55:08,972

Well, great job.

 

1216

00:55:08,972 --> 00:55:10,440

And back at you, man.

 

1217

00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:12,575

It's been a pleasure doing these

with you all these years.

 

1218

00:55:12,575 --> 00:55:15,712

And there's not a person on this earth

I'd rather do them with.

 

1219

00:55:15,712 --> 00:55:18,915

So I can't imagine doing this

with anybody else.

 

1220

00:55:18,982 --> 00:55:21,551

No, I tried. I tried to get anybody

 

1221

00:55:23,086 --> 00:55:25,221

no body, but.

 

1222

00:55:25,221 --> 00:55:27,691

So finally, I thought, well, I guess.

 

1223

00:55:29,259 --> 00:55:32,395

Do you remember we said the first show no.

 

1224

00:55:32,762 --> 00:55:35,098

Come on, come on.

 

1225

00:55:35,098 --> 00:55:37,534

I want to go out?

 

1226

00:55:38,001 --> 00:55:40,136

You know,

they came to you about doing a show

 

1227

00:55:41,204 --> 00:55:43,673

and the first part, you.

 

1228

00:55:43,673 --> 00:55:45,875

You know who fights that one?

 

1229

00:55:45,875 --> 00:55:47,677

I always like that one.

 

1230

00:55:47,677 --> 00:55:52,182

Just to bring us back to the old

the number one show, our first show ever.

 

1231

00:55:52,182 --> 00:55:53,516

Here's what he said.

 

1232

00:55:53,516 --> 00:55:57,520

One is to right there

was I knew right away I wanted to do this

 

1233

00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:01,725

where there was no question in my mind

and when he turned me down,

 

1234

00:56:02,926 --> 00:56:04,294

I thought of you

 

1235

00:56:07,664 --> 00:56:09,232

know and.

 

1236

00:56:09,232 --> 00:56:10,266

Love that one.

 

1237

00:56:10,266 --> 00:56:11,368

Oh, of course I'm joking.

 

1238

00:56:11,368 --> 00:56:14,237

It was going to be this week.

 

1239

00:56:14,704 --> 00:56:17,440

So all right, Rob, thank you, everybody.

 

1240

00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:19,142

Thank you for listening

and I appreciate it.

 

1241

00:56:19,142 --> 00:56:21,778

And please stay tuned for another episode

 

1242

00:56:22,946 --> 00:56:25,448

and screw that up right is another.

 

1243

00:56:25,582 --> 00:56:26,716

Okay, let me do that again.

 

1244

00:56:26,716 --> 00:56:28,785

Hold on one more time, buddy.

 

1245

00:56:28,785 --> 00:56:29,119

All right.

 

1246

00:56:29,119 --> 00:56:32,122

All right, all right. 162 times.

 

1247

00:56:32,455 --> 00:56:34,891

Practice makes perfect.

That's my last one.

 

1248

00:56:35,258 --> 00:56:37,994

All right. Go back.

 

1249

00:56:38,128 --> 00:56:39,329

This this one.

 

1250

00:56:39,329 --> 00:56:41,664

Another episode of On the Floor

with Wayne and Rob.

 

1251

00:56:41,664 --> 00:56:44,334

Okay, time. They'll say I it's there.

 

1252
