Episode Transcription

1

00:00:17,183 --> 00:00:20,120

I'm Rob Johnson with the

 

2

00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,123

Bona Training.

 

3

00:00:23,590 --> 00:00:24,090

Pretty good.

 

4

00:00:24,090 --> 00:00:27,093

But how's it going?

 

5

00:00:30,797 --> 00:00:33,800

Even electric.

 

6

00:00:35,068 --> 00:00:36,836

So,

 

7

00:00:36,836 --> 00:00:38,772

I was, talking to a contractor

 

8

00:00:38,772 --> 00:00:39,339

the other day,

 

9

00:00:39,339 --> 00:00:42,342

and this is a good contractor.

 

10

00:00:42,475 --> 00:00:43,710

It's been in the business

 

11

00:00:43,710 --> 00:00:45,645

at least 30 years, maybe longer.

 

12

00:00:45,645 --> 00:00:48,548

Okay.

 

13

00:00:48,548 --> 00:00:50,550

He's done it all.

 

14

00:00:50,550 --> 00:00:53,653

And he was on a job recently, and,

 

15

00:00:54,687 --> 00:00:57,123

he was tapping into the into the the box,

 

16

00:00:57,123 --> 00:00:58,792

which he's done into the panel,

 

17

00:00:58,792 --> 00:01:00,060

which he's done

 

18

00:01:00,060 --> 00:01:01,528

countless times in his career.

 

19

00:01:01,528 --> 00:01:04,531

Right.

 

20

00:01:05,365 --> 00:01:05,799

You know,

 

21

00:01:05,799 --> 00:01:08,802

okay, 30, 30, 30 years,

 

22

00:01:09,002 --> 00:01:10,904

50 weeks, a year times 30.

 

23

00:01:10,904 --> 00:01:12,739

So you did it once. Once.

 

24

00:01:12,739 --> 00:01:15,742

Was that 1500 times?

 

25

00:01:15,975 --> 00:01:17,310

It's a it's it's on average.

 

26

00:01:17,310 --> 00:01:18,211

I mean, real quick

 

27

00:01:18,211 --> 00:01:18,812

say it's,

 

28

00:01:18,812 --> 00:01:21,781

he's been doing for for 30 years.

 

29

00:01:22,415 --> 00:01:25,418

Times say 50.

 

30

00:01:26,119 --> 00:01:28,421

So a lot of times tapping into a box.

 

31

00:01:28,421 --> 00:01:29,489

Right. So let's

 

32

00:01:31,591 --> 00:01:34,561

Yes.

 

33

00:01:47,107 --> 00:01:47,474

Yes.

 

34

00:01:47,474 --> 00:01:48,908

They're my favorite screwdriver.

 

35

00:01:48,908 --> 00:01:51,811

I have a problem.

 

36

00:01:51,811 --> 00:01:53,079

thought.

 

37

00:01:53,079 --> 00:01:54,681

So

 

38

00:01:54,681 --> 00:01:56,850

he, he tapped into

 

39

00:01:56,850 --> 00:01:57,750

he he,

 

40

00:01:57,750 --> 00:01:59,252

he put the wire into the

 

41

00:01:59,252 --> 00:02:00,487

into the breaker.

 

42

00:02:00,487 --> 00:02:01,087

Right?

 

43

00:02:01,087 --> 00:02:02,322

Took the screwdriver,

 

44

00:02:02,322 --> 00:02:03,423

tighten the breaker.

 

45

00:02:03,423 --> 00:02:06,426

Okay. Close the box,

 

46

00:02:06,526 --> 00:02:08,027

hit the breaker,

 

47

00:02:08,027 --> 00:02:10,663

and all hell broke loose.

 

48

00:02:10,663 --> 00:02:13,666

I mean, fire shot out.

 

49

00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,503

His fingers, the three fingers that

 

50

00:02:16,503 --> 00:02:18,671

were black from the soot or whatever.

 

51

00:02:18,671 --> 00:02:20,039

The electric light.

 

52

00:02:20,039 --> 00:02:22,509

And what happened was

 

53

00:02:22,509 --> 00:02:25,245

the, the 41 screwdriver,

 

54

00:02:25,245 --> 00:02:28,248

the bit stayed

 

55

00:02:28,515 --> 00:02:31,518

Oh,

 

56

00:02:32,252 --> 00:02:35,221

yes.

 

57

00:02:35,688 --> 00:02:38,691

Oh, man.

 

58

00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,295

So it was just the little ones

 

59

00:02:42,295 --> 00:02:43,530

with the magnetic.

 

60

00:02:43,530 --> 00:02:46,533

It stuck in there.

 

61

00:02:46,566 --> 00:02:49,569

He pulled it out.

 

62

00:02:49,802 --> 00:02:52,805

Oh, man.

 

63

00:02:54,941 --> 00:02:56,943

hit the breaker to turn it on.

 

64

00:02:56,943 --> 00:02:58,478

And like I said, all hell

 

65

00:02:58,478 --> 00:02:59,913

broke loose on that man.

 

66

00:02:59,913 --> 00:03:01,681

It was like I was getting a heart attack.

 

67

00:03:01,681 --> 00:03:02,348

He had to sit down.

 

68

00:03:02,348 --> 00:03:04,317

He was shaking so bad.

 

69

00:03:04,317 --> 00:03:05,552

And he had another guy there.

 

70

00:03:05,552 --> 00:03:06,953

And God who just hit, you know,

 

71

00:03:06,953 --> 00:03:08,254

was able to take a plastic,

 

72

00:03:09,789 --> 00:03:10,223

wrench

 

73

00:03:10,223 --> 00:03:11,357

with plastic on and just hit

 

74

00:03:11,357 --> 00:03:13,293

hit the breaker to turn it off.

 

75

00:03:13,293 --> 00:03:15,161

And there was,

 

76

00:03:15,161 --> 00:03:17,997

you know, black up the wall,

 

77

00:03:17,997 --> 00:03:21,000

black on the, on the electrical panel.

 

78

00:03:21,367 --> 00:03:22,235

Just a quick side

 

79

00:03:22,235 --> 00:03:23,603

note here with the bonus,

 

80

00:03:23,603 --> 00:03:26,606

a maroon pads, 320 maroon

 

81

00:04:06,579 --> 00:04:09,482

You know, the the other thing about.

 

82

00:04:09,482 --> 00:04:11,551

And

 

83

00:04:11,551 --> 00:04:12,151

it's funny

 

84

00:04:12,151 --> 00:04:12,685

that we're going to

 

85

00:04:12,685 --> 00:04:15,688

have this conversation because

 

86

00:04:15,922 --> 00:04:16,923

we are so guilty

 

87

00:04:16,923 --> 00:04:19,459

of doing so many things wrong.

 

88

00:04:19,459 --> 00:04:20,727

Okay?

 

89

00:04:20,727 --> 00:04:23,196

But.

 

90

00:04:23,196 --> 00:04:24,364

Sometimes,

 

91

00:04:24,364 --> 00:04:25,064

I mean,

 

92

00:04:25,064 --> 00:04:26,833

I look back at what we were doing,

 

93

00:04:26,833 --> 00:04:28,701

and half of the time

 

94

00:04:28,701 --> 00:04:32,038

I was tapping into boxes which legally,

 

95

00:04:32,538 --> 00:04:34,040

I have no authority to do.

 

96

00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,075

I am not a licensed electrician.

 

97

00:04:36,075 --> 00:04:38,011

I am not a homeowner.

 

98

00:04:38,011 --> 00:04:41,381

So if you tap into the box,

 

99

00:04:42,382 --> 00:04:43,750

your insurance is not going to cover

 

100

00:04:43,750 --> 00:04:45,885

you because now you've just

 

101

00:04:47,186 --> 00:04:49,088

you've broken all the rules.

 

102

00:04:49,088 --> 00:04:50,223

Those are the two rules.

 

103

00:04:50,223 --> 00:04:52,425

The only people allowed to go in the box

 

104

00:04:52,425 --> 00:04:54,994

is the owner of that box

 

105

00:04:54,994 --> 00:04:57,330

and a licensed electrician.

 

106

00:04:57,330 --> 00:05:01,534

And that 80% of the boxes I tapped in

 

107

00:05:02,001 --> 00:05:03,336

was because

 

108

00:05:03,336 --> 00:05:05,571

I didn't feel like building a range cord.

 

109

00:05:05,571 --> 00:05:07,874

I just had a dryer cord or

 

110

00:05:07,874 --> 00:05:09,042

I forgot the dryer cord.

 

111

00:05:09,042 --> 00:05:12,045

All I have is the range cord.

 

112

00:05:12,345 --> 00:05:14,814

Or it was three prong and all I had was.

 

113

00:05:14,814 --> 00:05:15,815

Or it was four prong

 

114

00:05:15,815 --> 00:05:18,618

and all I had was three prong.

 

115

00:05:18,618 --> 00:05:21,621

Just lazy, not building

 

116

00:05:22,622 --> 00:05:25,258

a good 6 or 8

 

117

00:05:25,258 --> 00:05:28,394

pigtails that would fit in three, 430

 

118

00:05:28,394 --> 00:05:31,397

amp fit the range dryer.

 

119

00:05:32,432 --> 00:05:33,366

We can eliminate

 

120

00:05:33,366 --> 00:05:36,369

so many issues of tapping into a box,

 

121

00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:40,673

if we have the correct pigtails.

 

122

00:05:40,807 --> 00:05:42,175

And that is

 

123

00:05:42,175 --> 00:05:42,875

that is something

 

124

00:05:42,875 --> 00:05:44,110

that I have been pushing at

 

125

00:05:44,110 --> 00:05:46,779

schools now for ever. Like,

 

126

00:05:48,247 --> 00:05:50,383

and a lot of our training centers,

 

127

00:05:50,383 --> 00:05:53,486

we have the pushing for,

 

128

00:05:54,187 --> 00:05:55,655

or a twist lock,

 

129

00:05:55,655 --> 00:05:57,757

you know, we have different ones.

 

130

00:05:57,757 --> 00:05:59,592

So I have different pigtails

 

131

00:05:59,592 --> 00:06:01,361

at the schools to show everybody.

 

132

00:06:01,361 --> 00:06:04,364

Look, see, I'm not tapping into any boxes

 

133

00:06:05,832 --> 00:06:08,735

because, we have this, we have this.

 

134

00:06:08,735 --> 00:06:10,336

And,

 

135

00:06:10,336 --> 00:06:11,571

I mean, that is one thing

 

136

00:06:11,571 --> 00:06:13,806

I would really like to see.

 

137

00:06:13,806 --> 00:06:16,809

And and I, you know, I'm

 

138

00:06:17,710 --> 00:06:18,845

preaching to the choir here.

 

139

00:06:18,845 --> 00:06:20,947

Nobody wants to do it,

 

140

00:06:20,947 --> 00:06:24,183

but I will not at trainings.

 

141

00:06:24,384 --> 00:06:27,086

I will not talk about how to do it.

 

142

00:06:27,086 --> 00:06:29,655

I just want I tell everybody,

 

143

00:06:29,655 --> 00:06:31,224

know I'm not going to be on the hook

 

144

00:06:31,224 --> 00:06:32,925

for somebody getting hurt.

 

145

00:06:32,925 --> 00:06:35,928

No way.

 

146

00:06:43,503 --> 00:06:44,604

Yes.

 

147

00:06:44,604 --> 00:06:47,607

Well, yeah.

 

148

00:06:47,940 --> 00:06:49,709

And, our filling was as long

 

149

00:06:49,709 --> 00:06:50,643

as we were going through a breaker,

 

150

00:06:50,643 --> 00:06:51,844

it was safe.

 

151

00:06:51,844 --> 00:06:52,945

That was you know,

 

152

00:06:52,945 --> 00:06:54,013

that's stupid,

 

153

00:06:54,013 --> 00:06:55,248

but that's that's what we thought

 

154

00:06:55,248 --> 00:06:57,450

that was. And I never knew.

 

155

00:06:57,450 --> 00:07:00,019

I went for years and years

 

156

00:07:00,019 --> 00:07:00,386

with that

 

157

00:07:00,386 --> 00:07:02,755

until I went to an AA class

 

158

00:07:02,755 --> 00:07:03,756

in the realm of healing.

 

159

00:07:03,756 --> 00:07:04,390

Oh, gosh. What?

 

160

00:07:04,390 --> 00:07:05,792

I'm supposed to be doing this,

 

161

00:07:05,792 --> 00:07:06,125

you know,

 

162

00:07:06,125 --> 00:07:07,160

and I've taught my brothers

 

163

00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:07,794

now how to do it.

 

164

00:07:07,794 --> 00:07:09,929

What if something happens to one of them?

 

165

00:07:09,929 --> 00:07:10,263

But,

 

166

00:07:11,597 --> 00:07:12,031

I was

 

167

00:07:12,031 --> 00:07:12,865

tapping into a

 

168

00:07:12,865 --> 00:07:15,868

box one time, and the screwdriver

 

169

00:07:15,902 --> 00:07:18,404

hit the side of the box in art

 

170

00:07:18,404 --> 00:07:20,339

and melted the screwdriver.

 

171

00:07:20,339 --> 00:07:22,008

You know what I mean? So.

 

172

00:07:22,008 --> 00:07:23,342

And if you've ever been zapped

 

173

00:07:23,342 --> 00:07:26,913

by 220, man, it is a life altering.

 

174

00:07:28,114 --> 00:07:30,616

I spent, yeah, I spent

 

175

00:07:30,616 --> 00:07:32,718

I spent the day in the hospital

 

176

00:07:32,718 --> 00:07:34,320

like a good day.

 

177

00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,023

I didn't wake up until,

 

178

00:07:37,023 --> 00:07:40,059

you know, 3 or 4 hours after I got hit.

 

179

00:07:40,827 --> 00:07:43,296

And it was just.

 

180

00:07:43,296 --> 00:07:44,964

It was something that,

 

181

00:07:44,964 --> 00:07:46,065

you know, when we were doing

 

182

00:07:46,065 --> 00:07:46,799

bowling alleys,

 

183

00:07:46,799 --> 00:07:48,901

we used to take the panel right off.

 

184

00:07:48,901 --> 00:07:51,037

We had big battery clamp,

 

185

00:07:51,037 --> 00:07:52,004

you know, like the kind

 

186

00:07:52,004 --> 00:07:53,739

you would use in a car, right?

 

187

00:07:53,739 --> 00:07:55,608

Jumper, cable tapes.

 

188

00:07:55,608 --> 00:07:57,810

That's what our cords were hooked to.

 

189

00:07:57,810 --> 00:08:01,581

And we would go into the incoming legs

 

190

00:08:01,781 --> 00:08:02,515

because,

 

191

00:08:02,515 --> 00:08:02,882

you know,

 

192

00:08:02,882 --> 00:08:05,117

we were setting up big boosters

 

193

00:08:05,117 --> 00:08:06,586

and things like that,

 

194

00:08:06,586 --> 00:08:09,388

and we would just snap into it,

 

195

00:08:09,388 --> 00:08:12,124

into the incoming, like, I mean,

 

196

00:08:12,124 --> 00:08:13,459

like crawling up on the pole.

 

197

00:08:14,660 --> 00:08:17,663

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

 

198

00:08:18,064 --> 00:08:19,398

And but oh,

 

199

00:08:19,398 --> 00:08:20,166

it was really safe

 

200

00:08:20,166 --> 00:08:20,933

because there were

 

201

00:08:20,933 --> 00:08:22,235

pieces of cardboard in there

 

202

00:08:22,235 --> 00:08:24,804

so it wouldn't arc

 

203

00:08:24,804 --> 00:08:28,007

or and to be really safe, I yanked the

 

204

00:08:28,274 --> 00:08:30,743

the shoe out of a bowl and rental shoe

 

205

00:08:30,743 --> 00:08:31,143

and tie

 

206

00:08:31,143 --> 00:08:33,613

the cord to the to the box and like,

 

207

00:08:33,613 --> 00:08:34,380

oh, look at me.

 

208

00:08:34,380 --> 00:08:37,383

I can create power anywhere.

 

209

00:08:37,383 --> 00:08:38,684

And, you know, it's

 

210

00:08:38,684 --> 00:08:39,719

just one of those things

 

211

00:08:39,719 --> 00:08:40,553

where it was funny

 

212

00:08:40,553 --> 00:08:41,220

when you were saying

 

213

00:08:41,220 --> 00:08:44,023

how many times you hook up, right?

 

214

00:08:44,023 --> 00:08:45,391

How many times we've

 

215

00:08:45,391 --> 00:08:47,126

hooked up in our life.

 

216

00:08:47,126 --> 00:08:48,794

And,

 

217

00:08:48,794 --> 00:08:51,063

as I'm about to put

 

218

00:08:51,063 --> 00:08:53,266

one of the battery clamp cables

 

219

00:08:53,266 --> 00:08:56,269

on the incoming leg, the

 

220

00:08:57,103 --> 00:08:58,971

the manager of the place, he

 

221

00:08:58,971 --> 00:09:00,840

it was right behind the counter,

 

222

00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,109

the the rental counter there.

 

223

00:09:03,109 --> 00:09:06,112

And just as he said something to me,

 

224

00:09:06,379 --> 00:09:07,780

I turned and I looked at him.

 

225

00:09:07,780 --> 00:09:10,082

I could, done it a thousand times,

 

226

00:09:11,183 --> 00:09:12,151

right?

 

227

00:09:12,151 --> 00:09:13,419

Or is the end of the summer, too.

 

228

00:09:13,419 --> 00:09:14,654

So this is like,

 

229

00:09:14,654 --> 00:09:17,657

oh, you just this is what we do, right?

 

230

00:09:17,723 --> 00:09:20,726

And I.

 

231

00:09:21,961 --> 00:09:23,029

Stuck my hand in.

 

232

00:09:23,029 --> 00:09:24,230

And when he said something to me,

 

233

00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:27,233

I just took my I looked at him,

 

234

00:09:27,433 --> 00:09:30,670

my hand kept going and my hand

 

235

00:09:30,670 --> 00:09:32,071

hit the arc.

 

236

00:09:32,071 --> 00:09:34,273

Hit the leg.

 

237

00:09:34,273 --> 00:09:36,676

And that was, you know,

 

238

00:09:36,676 --> 00:09:37,376

that was something

 

239

00:09:37,376 --> 00:09:38,077

because it blew

 

240

00:09:38,077 --> 00:09:40,112

the whole building out and

 

241

00:09:40,112 --> 00:09:42,148

blew me over the counter.

 

242

00:09:42,148 --> 00:09:42,582

The good thing

 

243

00:09:42,582 --> 00:09:42,949

was, is

 

244

00:09:42,949 --> 00:09:43,783

I wasn't

 

245

00:09:43,783 --> 00:09:45,718

holding on to the box

 

246

00:09:45,718 --> 00:09:48,688

because that would have went,

 

247

00:09:48,688 --> 00:09:49,889

that would have grabbed me,

 

248

00:09:49,889 --> 00:09:50,690

and I would have been

 

249

00:09:50,690 --> 00:09:52,525

probably stuck there.

 

250

00:09:52,525 --> 00:09:55,528

So.

 

251

00:09:56,028 --> 00:09:59,031

I have no idea.

 

252

00:09:59,398 --> 00:10:01,601

I don't know, I woke up in the hospital.

 

253

00:10:01,601 --> 00:10:03,369

I mean,

 

254

00:10:03,369 --> 00:10:06,372

I was gone out, it blew me

 

255

00:10:06,572 --> 00:10:07,473

over the counter.

 

256

00:10:07,473 --> 00:10:09,241

My cousin and Pete were there

 

257

00:10:09,241 --> 00:10:11,677

and they all thought I was dead

 

258

00:10:11,677 --> 00:10:13,913

because it was a huge flash.

 

259

00:10:13,913 --> 00:10:15,147

Yeah, it was a big mess.

 

260

00:10:15,147 --> 00:10:17,516

It was a it was a big mess. But,

 

261

00:10:18,918 --> 00:10:19,285

but it

 

262

00:10:19,285 --> 00:10:20,119

but the weird thing

 

263

00:10:20,119 --> 00:10:23,122

was, it's just one of those things that

 

264

00:10:23,956 --> 00:10:25,591

happened so fast on

 

265

00:10:25,591 --> 00:10:26,792

something that I had done

 

266

00:10:26,792 --> 00:10:29,762

a hundred times that summer

 

267

00:10:29,895 --> 00:10:31,464

and just lost

 

268

00:10:31,464 --> 00:10:34,467

my concentration for one

 

269

00:10:34,634 --> 00:10:36,369

split second.

 

270

00:10:36,369 --> 00:10:37,603

That that was it.

 

271

00:10:37,603 --> 00:10:40,606

That's all it took.

 

272

00:10:41,273 --> 00:10:44,276

Yeah.

 

273

00:10:49,782 --> 00:10:52,652

Well, I mean, this was a lot of juice.

 

274

00:10:52,652 --> 00:10:55,655

This is a commercial three phase.

 

275

00:10:55,788 --> 00:10:58,457

You know, I, I could have been dead.

 

276

00:10:58,457 --> 00:11:00,526

Seriously.

 

277

00:11:00,526 --> 00:11:01,160

And then what?

 

278

00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,528

What would you have done then?

 

279

00:11:02,528 --> 00:11:04,030

You'd have never met me.

 

280

00:11:04,030 --> 00:11:07,033

There'd be no show, nothing.

 

281

00:11:10,636 --> 00:11:12,238

Yeah.

 

282

00:11:12,238 --> 00:11:13,706

Yeah, exactly.

 

283

00:11:13,706 --> 00:11:15,241

Yeah.

 

284

00:11:15,241 --> 00:11:15,908

And then I.

 

285

00:11:15,908 --> 00:11:18,911

I'm sorry.

 

286

00:11:20,646 --> 00:11:23,649

No.

 

287

00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:26,519

You can sing that.

 

288

00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:27,653

You can learn that song

 

289

00:11:27,653 --> 00:11:29,822

and maybe sing it to me someday

 

290

00:11:29,822 --> 00:11:32,792

before you retire.

 

291

00:11:33,993 --> 00:11:36,662

You know, when mom told me

 

292

00:11:36,662 --> 00:11:38,397

then he was leaving the railroad

 

293

00:11:38,397 --> 00:11:40,900

and going back to floor sanding

 

294

00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:42,168

and going to open up his

 

295

00:11:42,168 --> 00:11:43,235

own company and everything,

 

296

00:11:44,270 --> 00:11:44,704

that was

 

297

00:11:44,704 --> 00:11:45,805

really the only

 

298

00:11:45,805 --> 00:11:48,808

thing that ever worried me

 

299

00:11:48,808 --> 00:11:50,810

was.

 

300

00:11:50,810 --> 00:11:52,244

Yeah, yeah.

 

301

00:11:52,244 --> 00:11:54,080

Because I, you know,

 

302

00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,083

I feel like I got away with one.

 

303

00:12:00,019 --> 00:12:01,220

Okay.

 

304

00:12:01,220 --> 00:12:04,123

You want to hear something crazy?

 

305

00:12:04,123 --> 00:12:05,491

And

 

306

00:12:05,491 --> 00:12:06,692

God's my witness.

 

307

00:12:06,692 --> 00:12:08,094

You can ask Pauline.

 

308

00:12:08,094 --> 00:12:11,097

The hair has never grown back on my legs

 

309

00:12:11,731 --> 00:12:14,700

since I got electrocuted.

 

310

00:12:16,368 --> 00:12:17,970

Just the legs out.

 

311

00:12:17,970 --> 00:12:20,973

No hair everywhere.

 

312

00:12:21,073 --> 00:12:24,076

Nothing on the legs.

 

313

00:12:24,410 --> 00:12:25,978

I look like a plucked chicken.

 

314

00:12:25,978 --> 00:12:27,246

Yeah,

 

315

00:12:27,246 --> 00:12:30,249

I see people looking at me at the beach.

 

316

00:12:31,484 --> 00:12:32,251

You would think.

 

317

00:12:32,251 --> 00:12:34,019

You would think I would shave my legs.

 

318

00:12:34,019 --> 00:12:35,821

Absolutely.

 

319

00:12:35,821 --> 00:12:37,056

And Pauline's like, what?

 

320

00:12:37,056 --> 00:12:39,058

What happened to the hair?

 

321

00:12:39,058 --> 00:12:40,259

What happened to the hair on your leg?

 

322

00:12:40,259 --> 00:12:42,561

And it's like.

 

323

00:12:42,561 --> 00:12:44,330

No,

 

324

00:12:44,330 --> 00:12:45,498

it never.

 

325

00:12:45,498 --> 00:12:46,632

It never came back.

 

326

00:12:46,632 --> 00:12:49,568

And if I would get bit,

 

327

00:12:49,568 --> 00:12:51,003

you know, when I was

 

328

00:12:51,003 --> 00:12:52,471

away from the family business

 

329

00:12:52,471 --> 00:12:52,872

and everything

 

330

00:12:52,872 --> 00:12:53,939

and on my own and then,

 

331

00:12:53,939 --> 00:12:54,974

you know, once in a while

 

332

00:12:54,974 --> 00:12:56,675

you get electrocuted, right.

 

333

00:12:56,675 --> 00:12:57,109

I mean,

 

334

00:12:57,109 --> 00:12:59,011

it doesn't happen all the time,

 

335

00:12:59,011 --> 00:13:01,280

but when you're doing stupid things,

 

336

00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,849

you don't play stupid games, right?

 

337

00:13:03,849 --> 00:13:06,452

She could always tell

 

338

00:13:06,452 --> 00:13:07,620

when I got electrocuted,

 

339

00:13:08,954 --> 00:13:10,623

we'd be sitting at supper or something,

 

340

00:13:10,623 --> 00:13:11,957

and she'd look at my arms, go.

 

341

00:13:11,957 --> 00:13:14,727

They looked cute today.

 

342

00:13:14,727 --> 00:13:16,228

I'm like, yeah.

 

343

00:13:16,228 --> 00:13:16,862

She goes, yeah,

 

344

00:13:16,862 --> 00:13:18,798

because the hair is missing

 

345

00:13:18,798 --> 00:13:21,801

all on your wrist.

 

346

00:13:31,644 --> 00:13:33,746

Yes.

 

347

00:13:33,746 --> 00:13:33,946

Yeah.

 

348

00:13:33,946 --> 00:13:36,949

You won't see it.

 

349

00:13:44,423 --> 00:13:45,491

Just.

 

350

00:13:45,491 --> 00:13:48,494

Yeah.

 

351

00:14:21,327 --> 00:14:22,595

But.

 

352

00:14:22,595 --> 00:14:24,964

But you're not the it.

 

353

00:14:24,964 --> 00:14:27,867

You're. You're not the average man.

 

354

00:14:27,867 --> 00:14:30,870

Yeah.

 

355

00:14:31,470 --> 00:14:33,372

was a doctor, right?

 

356

00:14:33,372 --> 00:14:36,041

And his his wife was

 

357

00:14:36,041 --> 00:14:37,977

extraordinarily beautiful.

 

358

00:14:37,977 --> 00:14:39,345

Okay.

 

359

00:14:39,345 --> 00:14:41,146

And and he was a good looking do, too.

 

360

00:14:41,146 --> 00:14:41,914

And he's a doctor.

 

361

00:14:41,914 --> 00:14:44,049

He had a Porsche outside. Really nice.

 

362

00:14:44,049 --> 00:14:46,085

And then he said, we have,

 

363

00:14:46,085 --> 00:14:47,920

I live in a house

 

364

00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,456

keeper made type of deal too, as well.

 

365

00:14:50,456 --> 00:14:52,558

And, her English isn't very good.

 

366

00:14:52,558 --> 00:14:55,561

She she's from Japan and she works in

 

367

00:14:56,295 --> 00:14:57,096

and she's equally

 

368

00:14:57,096 --> 00:14:58,697

as stunning as his wife.

 

369

00:14:58,697 --> 00:15:00,232

And they got no kids.

 

370

00:15:00,232 --> 00:15:01,066

I think what's going

 

371

00:15:09,508 --> 00:15:10,976

Well.

 

372

00:15:10,976 --> 00:15:12,011

Where's this?

 

373

00:15:12,011 --> 00:15:15,014

Where is this story going?

 

374

00:15:18,484 --> 00:15:20,052

He wasn't electrocuted.

 

375

00:15:20,052 --> 00:15:20,886

He didn't help you

 

376

00:15:20,886 --> 00:15:23,889

when you were electrocuted,

 

377

00:15:25,257 --> 00:15:26,492

turned the wrong breaker off.

 

378

00:15:26,492 --> 00:15:29,161

Stupid, stupid as a young kid, and I.

 

379

00:15:29,161 --> 00:15:30,829

And I was going to,

 

380

00:15:30,829 --> 00:15:33,165

I had to change out the cord for.

 

381

00:15:33,165 --> 00:15:34,233

I can't really reason why,

 

382

00:15:34,233 --> 00:15:37,202

but I was changing out the cord, and,

 

383

00:15:37,202 --> 00:15:38,837

I thought the, it was

 

384

00:15:38,837 --> 00:15:40,806

the breaker was off or whatever.

 

385

00:15:40,806 --> 00:15:42,841

And then I got zapped that way

 

386

00:15:42,841 --> 00:15:44,310

so as to, like, twice as many.

 

387

00:15:44,310 --> 00:15:46,512

Like I said, it is, you know, like,

 

388

00:15:46,512 --> 00:15:49,148

that's the thing is that

 

389

00:15:49,148 --> 00:15:51,784

in a long career,

 

390

00:15:51,784 --> 00:15:53,352

the amount of times you try to tap

 

391

00:15:53,352 --> 00:15:54,787

into a panel,

 

392

00:15:54,787 --> 00:15:55,120

you know,

 

393

00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:55,921

and I know they say,

 

394

00:15:55,921 --> 00:15:56,889

oh, it's a pain in the butt.

 

395

00:15:56,889 --> 00:15:58,457

And we've done this a thousand times

 

396

00:15:58,457 --> 00:15:59,692

and you know it.

 

397

00:15:59,692 --> 00:16:01,093

You don't be,

 

398

00:16:01,093 --> 00:16:03,796

you know, a sissy and call electrician.

 

399

00:16:03,796 --> 00:16:04,563

You know who needs to do

 

400

00:16:04,563 --> 00:16:05,064

you don't need to do.

 

401

00:16:05,064 --> 00:16:07,566

That's a pain you really do.

 

402

00:16:07,566 --> 00:16:09,601

Should call the electrician.

 

403

00:16:09,601 --> 00:16:11,070

It's illegal. Like Rob said,

 

404

00:16:15,341 --> 00:16:15,674

If it

 

405

00:16:15,674 --> 00:16:18,677

isn't, it should be.

 

406

00:16:18,944 --> 00:16:20,746

I got electrocuted one time,

 

407

00:16:20,746 --> 00:16:22,114

and Peter in the homeowner

 

408

00:16:22,114 --> 00:16:25,117

were cracking up.

 

409

00:16:25,918 --> 00:16:29,221

The, a few times, yeah.

 

410

00:16:29,221 --> 00:16:31,623

Fair amount. Yeah.

 

411

00:16:31,623 --> 00:16:33,125

We couldn't find any place

 

412

00:16:33,125 --> 00:16:34,994

to get power in this house.

 

413

00:16:34,994 --> 00:16:38,063

And they had a small electric range

 

414

00:16:38,063 --> 00:16:42,067

that was that was wired direct.

 

415

00:16:42,701 --> 00:16:43,569

There was no plug.

 

416

00:16:43,569 --> 00:16:46,572

This is an old, old, old home.

 

417

00:16:46,572 --> 00:16:49,041

So I had the idea of pulling

 

418

00:16:49,041 --> 00:16:51,977

the back off of the stove

 

419

00:16:51,977 --> 00:16:54,346

and putting my clips

 

420

00:16:54,346 --> 00:16:57,349

onto the where they were hooked in,

 

421

00:16:58,150 --> 00:17:00,619

and I'm thinking, this is a great idea.

 

422

00:17:00,619 --> 00:17:01,653

This is perfect.

 

423

00:17:01,653 --> 00:17:03,222

Now you know,

 

424

00:17:03,222 --> 00:17:05,557

I can't wait to get work in now,

 

425

00:17:05,557 --> 00:17:07,593

now that I have juice

 

426

00:17:07,593 --> 00:17:10,562

and, I don't know what happened, but,

 

427

00:17:11,096 --> 00:17:12,231

untucked it

 

428

00:17:12,231 --> 00:17:13,332

there wasn't a lot of room

 

429

00:17:13,332 --> 00:17:15,067

to move the stove out.

 

430

00:17:15,067 --> 00:17:17,803

Okay, so I'm in a really tight place,

 

431

00:17:18,971 --> 00:17:20,672

and

 

432

00:17:20,672 --> 00:17:23,275

it hit me really good,

 

433

00:17:23,275 --> 00:17:24,543

and my head started

 

434

00:17:24,543 --> 00:17:26,912

banging from the wall, like.

 

435

00:17:26,912 --> 00:17:29,281

Like a basketball dribbling sideways.

 

436

00:17:29,281 --> 00:17:30,015

Right?

 

437

00:17:30,015 --> 00:17:32,017

It was banging off of the stove

 

438

00:17:32,017 --> 00:17:33,652

into the wall, stove wall, stone

 

439

00:17:33,652 --> 00:17:35,521

wall, like, bye bye, bye bye bye bye bye.

 

440

00:17:35,521 --> 00:17:37,523

Like that.

 

441

00:17:37,523 --> 00:17:39,892

They're cracking up.

 

442

00:17:39,892 --> 00:17:41,193

They're cracking up here.

 

443

00:17:41,193 --> 00:17:44,163

I'm dying.

 

444

00:17:45,631 --> 00:17:46,432

And they thought that

 

445

00:17:46,432 --> 00:17:47,332

I was messing around.

 

446

00:17:47,332 --> 00:17:50,335

It was like a Three Stooges thing, right?

 

447

00:17:50,536 --> 00:17:52,204

So

 

448

00:17:52,204 --> 00:17:53,472

I crawl out of there

 

449

00:17:53,472 --> 00:17:54,606

and I'm all pissed off.

 

450

00:17:54,606 --> 00:17:57,476

Like, what is so funny?

 

451

00:17:57,476 --> 00:17:58,043

And they're like,

 

452

00:17:58,043 --> 00:17:59,078

oh, that was really funny.

 

453

00:17:59,078 --> 00:18:02,081

I go, I was getting electrocuted.

 

454

00:18:13,358 --> 00:18:13,859

I said,

 

455

00:18:13,859 --> 00:18:16,862

why would you think that I would be

 

456

00:18:16,895 --> 00:18:19,598

that I would be doing that as a joke?

 

457

00:18:19,598 --> 00:18:21,033

You didn't hear the floor.

 

458

00:18:21,033 --> 00:18:24,002

So those hits.

 

459

00:18:25,537 --> 00:18:26,371

But I love them.

 

460

00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,043

I love that guy.

 

461

00:18:55,901 --> 00:18:57,870

I can't stop thinking about that

 

462

00:18:57,870 --> 00:19:00,873

foreign one screwdriver thing,

 

463

00:19:01,874 --> 00:19:04,443

How many times is that happen

 

464

00:19:04,443 --> 00:19:06,445

when you're using that?

 

465

00:19:06,445 --> 00:19:08,313

I don't mean on an electric box.

 

466

00:19:08,313 --> 00:19:11,316

I mean, anyway.

 

467

00:19:22,561 --> 00:19:24,563

No.

 

468

00:19:24,563 --> 00:19:27,566

Hey.

 

469

00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:35,974

There was a mechanic

 

470

00:19:35,974 --> 00:19:37,242

in a bowling alley

 

471

00:19:37,242 --> 00:19:39,978

watching me hook up one day,

 

472

00:19:39,978 --> 00:19:40,345

and he.

 

473

00:19:40,345 --> 00:19:40,913

He looks.

 

474

00:19:40,913 --> 00:19:41,980

He walks over and he goes,

 

475

00:19:41,980 --> 00:19:43,148

what the hell are you doing?

 

476

00:19:43,148 --> 00:19:44,616

I go, you know,

 

477

00:19:44,616 --> 00:19:46,952

so we have power for the equipment,

 

478

00:19:46,952 --> 00:19:47,286

everything.

 

479

00:19:47,286 --> 00:19:47,653

He goes,

 

480

00:19:47,653 --> 00:19:49,288

why aren't you wearing safety gloves?

 

481

00:19:49,288 --> 00:19:51,490

I go, what?

 

482

00:19:51,490 --> 00:19:52,958

He goes, yeah, he goes.

 

483

00:19:52,958 --> 00:19:55,227

And he showing me

 

484

00:19:55,227 --> 00:19:58,230

rubber safety gloves that,

 

485

00:19:58,263 --> 00:20:01,266

you know, people in that business use.

 

486

00:20:02,501 --> 00:20:04,203

So I said to my dad, I go, hey,

 

487

00:20:04,203 --> 00:20:06,672

how come we don't wear these,

 

488

00:20:06,672 --> 00:20:08,740

these rubber safety gloves?

 

489

00:20:08,740 --> 00:20:10,842

You know, somebody could get hurt.

 

490

00:20:10,842 --> 00:20:11,843

And he's like,

 

491

00:20:11,843 --> 00:20:12,477

no, you know,

 

492

00:20:12,477 --> 00:20:15,614

if you wear that, you'll lose all respect

 

493

00:20:16,381 --> 00:20:17,583

for the electricity.

 

494

00:20:19,585 --> 00:20:21,853

It'll make you two brave.

 

495

00:20:21,853 --> 00:20:23,855

You'll be fearless.

 

496

00:20:23,855 --> 00:20:24,790

That. Yeah.

 

497

00:20:24,790 --> 00:20:25,424

Oh, yeah.

 

498

00:20:25,424 --> 00:20:27,859

Yeah, yeah. Exactly.

 

499

00:20:27,859 --> 00:20:28,660

Look. And we're.

 

500

00:20:28,660 --> 00:20:31,029

I don't care how many times we say it,

 

501

00:20:31,029 --> 00:20:33,432

we highly, strongly recommend.

 

502

00:20:33,432 --> 00:20:36,235

Do not tap into a bag.

 

503

00:20:36,235 --> 00:20:37,269

But, you know,

 

504

00:20:37,269 --> 00:20:39,838

get an electrician to do it for you.

 

505

00:20:39,838 --> 00:20:40,706

Drop.

 

506

00:20:40,706 --> 00:20:42,608

Have him give him your big tip.

 

507

00:20:42,608 --> 00:20:44,576

Tell him what you need.

 

508

00:20:44,576 --> 00:20:47,045

And I'm, that's why I started this story

 

509

00:20:47,045 --> 00:20:48,013

and I think it's a, it's

 

510

00:20:48,013 --> 00:20:49,448

a, it's a great lesson for everybody else

 

511

00:20:49,448 --> 00:20:51,617

because this guy was the guy.

 

512

00:20:51,617 --> 00:20:54,219

I mean, you know, very, very experienced,

 

513

00:20:54,219 --> 00:20:55,320

super talented guy,

 

514

00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:56,121

great floor guy,

 

515

00:20:56,121 --> 00:20:58,056

knowledgeable, can do anything.

 

516

00:20:58,056 --> 00:20:59,057

And,

 

517

00:20:59,057 --> 00:20:59,958

he actually called me

 

518

00:20:59,958 --> 00:21:01,493

to tell me about this,

 

519

00:21:01,493 --> 00:21:02,060

and he goes, you know,

 

520

00:21:02,060 --> 00:21:03,061

he might want to talk about this

 

521

00:21:03,061 --> 00:21:03,795

on your show, man.

 

522

00:21:03,795 --> 00:21:05,831

He goes, this was, you know, that that.

 

523

00:21:05,831 --> 00:21:07,232

Thank you for that, man, I appreciate it.

 

524

00:21:08,934 --> 00:21:09,334

So.

 

525

00:21:09,334 --> 00:21:11,803

Yeah. It's scary.

 

526

00:21:11,803 --> 00:21:13,171

You know, I'm glad we're doing this

 

527

00:21:13,171 --> 00:21:14,973

because we've done fire safety.

 

528

00:21:14,973 --> 00:21:15,274

You know,

 

529

00:21:15,274 --> 00:21:17,009

we've done the hell out of fire safety.

 

530

00:21:17,009 --> 00:21:17,442

And I.

 

531

00:21:17,442 --> 00:21:18,477

You know,

 

532

00:21:18,477 --> 00:21:18,910

I don't care

 

533

00:21:18,910 --> 00:21:20,545

how many times you do fire safety.

 

534

00:21:20,545 --> 00:21:21,780

I think somebody always

 

535

00:21:21,780 --> 00:21:22,814

get something out of that.

 

536

00:21:22,814 --> 00:21:25,250

But I don't think we've done

 

537

00:21:25,250 --> 00:21:26,918

a lot of electric safety.

 

538

00:21:26,918 --> 00:21:28,920

Maybe sometimes we'll tie

 

539

00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,089

electric safety into fire safety.

 

540

00:21:31,089 --> 00:21:34,092

But we don't really,

 

541

00:21:34,426 --> 00:21:36,728

I don't, I don't remember really getting

 

542

00:21:36,728 --> 00:21:38,397

into the whole electric

 

543

00:21:38,397 --> 00:21:39,831

safety thing we've had,

 

544

00:21:39,831 --> 00:21:41,233

we've had our talks about it

 

545

00:21:41,233 --> 00:21:44,236

and all the mistakes we've made, but.

 

546

00:21:45,370 --> 00:21:46,705

Well,

 

547

00:21:46,705 --> 00:21:49,508

you know.

 

548

00:21:49,508 --> 00:21:50,976

Electricity and cords

 

549

00:21:50,976 --> 00:21:52,711

are a big part of our life.

 

550

00:21:52,711 --> 00:21:53,645

I mean,

 

551

00:21:53,645 --> 00:21:56,648

we I've never taken an entire days out

 

552

00:21:56,982 --> 00:21:58,083

where we're not working

 

553

00:21:58,083 --> 00:22:00,719

is making up cords for the for every.

 

554

00:22:00,719 --> 00:22:01,653

So every,

 

555

00:22:01,653 --> 00:22:02,821

every van had, like

 

556

00:22:02,821 --> 00:22:04,323

you said, had all the different cordage

 

557

00:22:04,323 --> 00:22:05,624

you could possibly have.

 

558

00:22:05,624 --> 00:22:08,393

And then even checking our cords.

 

559

00:22:08,393 --> 00:22:08,527

This,

 

560

00:22:08,527 --> 00:22:10,295

you know, the cords get, get pulled

 

561

00:22:10,295 --> 00:22:11,063

and whatever you need,

 

562

00:22:11,063 --> 00:22:12,264

it can start to come loose.

 

563

00:22:12,264 --> 00:22:13,265

And this, that and the other.

 

564

00:22:13,265 --> 00:22:13,932

Sometimes you go

 

565

00:22:13,932 --> 00:22:15,267

look and see that you got some, some,

 

566

00:22:15,267 --> 00:22:17,703

some darkness in the, in one of the legs

 

567

00:22:17,703 --> 00:22:18,236

because it's,

 

568

00:22:18,236 --> 00:22:19,237

you know, it's starting to come loose

 

569

00:22:19,237 --> 00:22:19,471

or what

 

570

00:22:19,471 --> 00:22:20,572

have you,

 

571

00:22:20,572 --> 00:22:22,874

changing those cords out and even,

 

572

00:22:22,874 --> 00:22:23,308

you know,

 

573

00:22:24,810 --> 00:22:26,111

any, any Germans ever

 

574

00:22:26,111 --> 00:22:29,114

worked with, apprentice?

 

575

00:22:29,915 --> 00:22:31,383

Rolling up the cord the wrong way.

 

576

00:22:31,383 --> 00:22:33,685

I mean, how bad that is.

 

577

00:22:33,685 --> 00:22:34,086

We used

 

578

00:22:34,086 --> 00:22:37,089

to put one end of the cord under a tire,

 

579

00:22:37,255 --> 00:22:38,390

and then stretch it out

 

580

00:22:38,390 --> 00:22:39,291

as long as you, you know,

 

581

00:22:39,291 --> 00:22:39,958

as long as you can.

 

582

00:22:39,958 --> 00:22:40,459

And just,

 

583

00:22:40,459 --> 00:22:41,993

you know, get all that wrinkles out of

 

584

00:22:41,993 --> 00:22:44,062

and then roll them up properly.

 

585

00:22:44,062 --> 00:22:46,832

But just just cord management

 

586

00:22:46,832 --> 00:22:49,568

and electrical, your all your legs,

 

587

00:22:49,568 --> 00:22:52,571

your old cords and your, your, your

 

588

00:22:53,238 --> 00:22:56,241

Yeah.

 

589

00:22:56,942 --> 00:22:59,945

a podcast on,

 

590

00:23:01,213 --> 00:23:02,147

charging for your words

 

591

00:23:02,147 --> 00:23:03,582

and all these types of things,

 

592

00:23:03,582 --> 00:23:05,283

you know, and how much should you charge?

 

593

00:23:05,283 --> 00:23:06,518

Because you're not productive

 

594

00:23:06,518 --> 00:23:08,253

every day on a job.

 

595

00:23:08,253 --> 00:23:09,221

You know what I mean? You're not.

 

596

00:23:09,221 --> 00:23:10,021

Because that

 

597

00:23:10,021 --> 00:23:11,656

if you take a Monday out to organize

 

598

00:23:11,656 --> 00:23:12,157

a van

 

599

00:23:12,157 --> 00:23:14,259

and to do the cords and all this stuff

 

600

00:23:14,259 --> 00:23:16,595

as a day that you're not on the job.

 

601

00:23:16,595 --> 00:23:18,063

So when you talk about,

 

602

00:23:18,063 --> 00:23:18,330

you know,

 

603

00:23:18,330 --> 00:23:19,231

charging for your worth

 

604

00:23:19,231 --> 00:23:20,565

and charging for these extra things

 

605

00:23:20,565 --> 00:23:22,067

because that doesn't

 

606

00:23:22,067 --> 00:23:23,602

get applied to a single job,

 

607

00:23:23,602 --> 00:23:24,603

but that that's

 

608

00:23:24,603 --> 00:23:25,837

something that has to be done.

 

609

00:23:25,837 --> 00:23:27,305

You know what I mean?

 

610

00:23:27,305 --> 00:23:28,840

So it it takes time and money.

 

611

00:23:30,142 --> 00:23:31,109

Do you remember the first

 

612

00:23:31,109 --> 00:23:34,112

chord you ever built?

 

613

00:23:36,181 --> 00:23:38,417

I remember

 

614

00:23:38,417 --> 00:23:41,319

the absolute very first chord I built.

 

615

00:23:41,319 --> 00:23:43,822

I was 16,

 

616

00:23:43,822 --> 00:23:45,991

and my dad was like, all right, you know,

 

617

00:23:45,991 --> 00:23:46,925

this is how you do it.

 

618

00:23:46,925 --> 00:23:48,427

This is this, that is that.

 

619

00:23:48,427 --> 00:23:49,961

And.

 

620

00:23:49,961 --> 00:23:51,062

And I was like, oh, man,

 

621

00:23:51,062 --> 00:23:52,864

look at look at me.

 

622

00:23:52,864 --> 00:23:54,933

Look at this,

 

623

00:23:54,933 --> 00:23:57,536

16 years old in a building courts.

 

624

00:23:57,536 --> 00:23:59,738

I mean, what's next?

 

625

00:23:59,738 --> 00:24:01,339

President of the United States?

 

626

00:24:01,339 --> 00:24:03,675

I can do anything right?

 

627

00:24:03,675 --> 00:24:05,477

I get all done.

 

628

00:24:05,477 --> 00:24:06,745

I'm all done.

 

629

00:24:06,745 --> 00:24:07,946

So proud of myself.

 

630

00:24:07,946 --> 00:24:10,382

My dad comes walking over,

 

631

00:24:10,382 --> 00:24:12,517

he's like, so you all done?

 

632

00:24:12,517 --> 00:24:14,786

I go, yeah, he goes, you sure?

 

633

00:24:14,786 --> 00:24:16,521

I go, yeah, okay.

 

634

00:24:16,521 --> 00:24:17,889

You know, and I'm very proud.

 

635

00:24:17,889 --> 00:24:19,591

You know what I did?

 

636

00:24:19,591 --> 00:24:20,725

He goes, are you sure about this?

 

637

00:24:20,725 --> 00:24:21,660

I go, yeah.

 

638

00:24:21,660 --> 00:24:22,427

And I'm thinking, you know,

 

639

00:24:22,427 --> 00:24:23,462

what's this guy's problem?

 

640

00:24:23,462 --> 00:24:26,465

It doesn't he, doesn't he see the talent?

 

641

00:24:26,465 --> 00:24:26,731

Right?

 

642

00:24:27,833 --> 00:24:28,400

Yeah.

 

643

00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,535

I put a male on one end

 

644

00:24:30,535 --> 00:24:33,538

and a male on the other.

 

645

00:24:33,638 --> 00:24:36,641

You.

 

646

00:24:38,210 --> 00:24:39,744

But there isn't anything wrong with it.

 

647

00:24:39,744 --> 00:24:42,547

You just made yourself 100ft cattle prod.

 

648

00:24:42,547 --> 00:24:45,550

Way to go.

 

649

00:24:46,318 --> 00:24:48,153

And that was the absolute

 

650

00:24:48,153 --> 00:24:50,522

very first chord I ever built.

 

651

00:24:50,522 --> 00:24:53,458

Never forget it

 

652

00:24:53,458 --> 00:24:53,792

goes.

 

653

00:24:53,792 --> 00:24:55,861

You remember your first one?

 

654

00:24:55,861 --> 00:24:57,162

When your dad told you

 

655

00:24:57,162 --> 00:24:57,896

about the gloves,

 

656

00:24:57,896 --> 00:24:58,930

that you don't wear the gloves

 

657

00:24:58,930 --> 00:24:59,865

because you

 

658

00:24:59,865 --> 00:25:01,466

don't respect the electricity,

 

659

00:25:01,466 --> 00:25:04,369

I told you, when I first started, like,

 

660

00:25:04,369 --> 00:25:05,437

for six months or so

 

661

00:25:05,437 --> 00:25:06,605

and never had ear protection

 

662

00:25:06,605 --> 00:25:08,373

and never had knee pads.

 

663

00:25:08,373 --> 00:25:10,308

And when I finally asked for them,

 

664

00:25:10,308 --> 00:25:21,219

I'll never forget as long as I know,

 

665

00:25:21,219 --> 00:25:22,554

we talk about this,

 

666

00:25:22,554 --> 00:25:23,688

the young guys coming up

 

667

00:25:23,688 --> 00:25:25,423

with the most educated,

 

668

00:25:25,423 --> 00:25:28,593

flooring, people that ever was before us.

 

669

00:25:28,593 --> 00:25:29,895

Right? Yeah.

 

670

00:25:32,297 --> 00:25:34,566

we made a lot of mistakes along the way

 

671

00:25:34,566 --> 00:25:35,600

and, a lot of,

 

672

00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,102

a lot of that old mindset, you know,

 

673

00:25:37,102 --> 00:25:39,271

I mean, that is kind of going away.

 

674

00:25:39,271 --> 00:25:40,405

But this is a big one, man.

 

675

00:25:40,405 --> 00:25:41,106

This is a big one,

 

676

00:25:41,106 --> 00:25:43,708

because you're going to get on jobs

 

677

00:25:43,708 --> 00:25:45,577

sometimes when you need power

 

678

00:25:45,577 --> 00:25:46,878

and you got to feel like

 

679

00:25:46,878 --> 00:25:49,014

you don't have any options or whatever,

 

680

00:25:49,014 --> 00:25:50,715

it's not worth taking a chance.

 

681

00:25:50,715 --> 00:25:51,816

This guy was,

 

682

00:25:51,816 --> 00:25:52,851

you know, he's got a family.

 

683

00:25:52,851 --> 00:25:53,852

This guy,

 

684

00:25:53,852 --> 00:25:54,452

it could have killed

 

685

00:25:54,452 --> 00:25:55,353

him, could have killed him

 

686

00:25:55,353 --> 00:25:56,354

very super easy.

 

687

00:25:56,354 --> 00:25:56,788

Could have killed

 

688

00:25:56,788 --> 00:25:58,189

him, could have killed you.

 

689

00:25:58,189 --> 00:25:58,690

You know what I mean?

 

690

00:25:58,690 --> 00:25:59,758

Could have killed me when I.

 

691

00:25:59,758 --> 00:26:00,959

When we got zapped.

 

692

00:26:00,959 --> 00:26:02,294

And I know people that have been zapped.

 

693

00:26:02,294 --> 00:26:02,761

Electricity.

 

694

00:26:02,761 --> 00:26:03,962

They're not the same anymore.

 

695

00:26:03,962 --> 00:26:05,530

You know what I mean? They have a nervous

 

696

00:26:07,933 --> 00:26:08,366

Yeah.

 

697

00:26:08,366 --> 00:26:11,102

I feel I'm lucky. I mean, for what?

 

698

00:26:11,102 --> 00:26:13,972

I got hit and, you know, like I said,

 

699

00:26:13,972 --> 00:26:14,839

I was in

 

700

00:26:14,839 --> 00:26:15,140

the Air

 

701

00:26:15,140 --> 00:26:18,143

Force Base hospital for most of the day.

 

702

00:26:18,276 --> 00:26:19,744

Only pick me up that night.

 

703

00:26:19,744 --> 00:26:22,847

I mean, yeah, I feel compared

 

704

00:26:22,847 --> 00:26:23,882

to some of the stories

 

705

00:26:23,882 --> 00:26:26,718

that I've heard of guys

 

706

00:26:26,718 --> 00:26:29,721

just, you know, simple things,

 

707

00:26:29,821 --> 00:26:32,824

you know, not as bad as what

 

708

00:26:33,091 --> 00:26:34,960

what could have been with me,

 

709

00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:36,061

you know, just like a

 

710

00:26:36,061 --> 00:26:37,929

I was that an N.W.A.

 

711

00:26:37,929 --> 00:26:39,064

Bass school?

 

712

00:26:39,064 --> 00:26:40,098

And one guy was telling me

 

713

00:26:40,098 --> 00:26:42,767

about a chord on his neck

 

714

00:26:42,767 --> 00:26:45,770

with a nick in it that nearly killed him

 

715

00:26:46,004 --> 00:26:48,740

like he was out of commission

 

716

00:26:48,740 --> 00:26:51,109

for, because we were doing the whole,

 

717

00:26:51,109 --> 00:26:52,243

you know, safety thing.

 

718

00:26:52,243 --> 00:26:54,112

And this guy got up

 

719

00:26:54,112 --> 00:26:56,514

and he started talking in

 

720

00:26:56,514 --> 00:26:57,716

his was a nicked

 

721

00:26:57,716 --> 00:27:00,785

chord on a sweaty neck that

 

722

00:27:02,420 --> 00:27:04,522

knocked him out for

 

723

00:27:04,522 --> 00:27:07,525

months, knocked him out of the game.

 

724

00:27:08,493 --> 00:27:10,428

he was dead before he hit the ground.

 

725

00:27:10,428 --> 00:27:11,162

Same thing.

 

726

00:27:11,162 --> 00:27:12,631

A sweaty, sweaty cord around

 

727

00:27:12,631 --> 00:27:14,799

his neck had a nick in it,

 

728

00:27:14,799 --> 00:27:17,168

and, And got him.

 

729

00:27:17,168 --> 00:27:18,503

It's probably the most dangerous thing

 

730

00:27:18,503 --> 00:27:21,139

we do is electricity on our jobs.

 

731

00:27:21,139 --> 00:27:22,874

I mean, if you think about the

 

732

00:27:22,874 --> 00:27:24,442

the dangers, things we do,

 

733

00:27:24,442 --> 00:27:26,244

I mean, you get spontaneous combustion.

 

734

00:27:26,244 --> 00:27:27,579

We talked about that.

 

735

00:27:27,579 --> 00:27:28,613

We've we've got a lot.

 

736

00:27:28,613 --> 00:27:29,314

You know, you're carrying

 

737

00:27:29,314 --> 00:27:31,483

heavy equipment.

 

738

00:27:31,483 --> 00:27:32,584

You know, there's a lot of ways

 

739

00:27:32,584 --> 00:27:34,019

you can get hurt on his job,

 

740

00:27:34,019 --> 00:27:35,020

but probably

 

741

00:27:35,020 --> 00:27:36,187

I don't think it's even probably.

 

742

00:27:36,187 --> 00:27:37,288

I think the most dangerous thing

 

743

00:27:37,288 --> 00:27:39,724

we do is with electricity.

 

744

00:27:39,724 --> 00:27:41,660

Not to mention probably driving to

 

745

00:27:41,660 --> 00:27:44,663

the job and back also,

 

746

00:27:47,565 --> 00:27:47,932

Yes.

 

747

00:27:49,634 --> 00:27:49,868

Yeah.

 

748

00:27:49,868 --> 00:27:50,502

Especially when you're

 

749

00:27:50,502 --> 00:27:51,403

trying to eat breakfast

 

750

00:27:51,403 --> 00:27:53,538

and drink coffee and all that stuff.

 

751

00:27:53,538 --> 00:27:54,439

Yeah.

 

752

00:27:54,439 --> 00:27:54,739

all right.

 

753

00:27:54,739 --> 00:27:57,142

So, we've got a couple lists here.

 

754

00:27:57,142 --> 00:27:59,477

Let's talk about the reasons why

 

755

00:27:59,477 --> 00:28:02,514

it is so dangerous with the electricity.

 

756

00:28:02,781 --> 00:28:04,416

jacking. Electrocution.

 

757

00:28:04,416 --> 00:28:05,917

Tapping into electric panel

 

758

00:28:05,917 --> 00:28:07,285

exposes the contracted

 

759

00:28:07,285 --> 00:28:09,087

to live conductors.

 

760

00:28:09,087 --> 00:28:09,888

Single misstep

 

761

00:28:09,888 --> 00:28:12,891

can cause serious or fatal shock.

 

762

00:28:13,024 --> 00:28:15,927

And that's exactly what happened to me.

 

763

00:28:15,927 --> 00:28:16,528

It sounds like

 

764

00:28:16,528 --> 00:28:19,497

it's happened to you before, so.

 

765

00:28:22,767 --> 00:28:25,770

Yes.

 

766

00:28:38,650 --> 00:28:39,417

This is one

 

767

00:28:39,417 --> 00:28:40,785

that,

 

768

00:28:40,785 --> 00:28:43,788

Peter and I, we tapped into one time to,

 

769

00:28:44,389 --> 00:28:47,158

breaker box that had the old twist.

 

770

00:28:47,158 --> 00:28:48,159

The twist fuzes.

 

771

00:28:48,159 --> 00:28:49,861

Remember those?

 

772

00:28:49,861 --> 00:28:52,163

The screw fuzes, whatever they were call.

 

773

00:28:52,163 --> 00:28:54,132

And, we burned that one

 

774

00:28:54,132 --> 00:28:54,866

right off of the wall.

 

775

00:28:54,866 --> 00:28:56,134

Fire risk, improper

 

776

00:28:56,134 --> 00:28:58,002

tapping of loose connections.

 

777

00:28:58,002 --> 00:29:01,005

Can overheat trip breakers or cause

 

778

00:29:01,239 --> 00:29:03,141

parking that starts a fire.

 

779

00:29:03,141 --> 00:29:04,409

And all of a sudden,

 

780

00:29:04,409 --> 00:29:06,111

everything started in the whole house

 

781

00:29:06,111 --> 00:29:07,345

and the machines.

 

782

00:29:07,345 --> 00:29:08,346

Everything was flicker

 

783

00:29:08,346 --> 00:29:09,647

and we didn't know what was going on.

 

784

00:29:09,647 --> 00:29:13,485

Looked downstairs and the whole box is

 

785

00:29:13,518 --> 00:29:14,018

on fire.

 

786

00:29:16,421 --> 00:29:19,424

Yeah.

 

787

00:29:20,525 --> 00:29:23,528

Of stupidity.

 

788

00:29:45,517 --> 00:29:45,884

What happens?

 

789

00:29:45,884 --> 00:29:47,185

The power.

 

790

00:29:47,185 --> 00:29:49,721

And, I'm downstairs trying to do this.

 

791

00:29:49,721 --> 00:29:51,589

And then I ran around the corner

 

792

00:29:51,589 --> 00:29:52,991

and ran smack into guy.

 

793

00:29:52,991 --> 00:29:54,259

We hit exactly each other

 

794

00:29:54,259 --> 00:29:55,727

right in the corner

 

795

00:29:55,727 --> 00:29:57,162

and he goes, what's a barrel?

 

796

00:29:57,162 --> 00:29:58,563

You mean you turn off the power?

 

797

00:29:58,563 --> 00:30:00,465

Yeah, it's a it's a service thing.

 

798

00:30:00,465 --> 00:30:01,099

We gotta do it.

 

799

00:30:01,099 --> 00:30:01,332

You know,

 

800

00:30:01,332 --> 00:30:02,767

he didn't know I was doing the floors.

 

801

00:30:02,767 --> 00:30:04,302

And anyhow, this guy was a bruiser, man.

 

802

00:30:04,302 --> 00:30:07,305

And, it was, it was,

 

803

00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:10,108

We got to do a show on

 

804

00:30:10,108 --> 00:30:12,310

just how many times you've been beat up

 

805

00:30:12,310 --> 00:30:15,280

or threatened to get beat up or fights.

 

806

00:30:18,716 --> 00:30:21,719

You got a lot of storage for them.

 

807

00:30:22,053 --> 00:30:22,187

right.

 

808

00:30:22,187 --> 00:30:23,822

Code violations and liability.

 

809

00:30:23,822 --> 00:30:24,823

And that's the biggie right here.

 

810

00:30:24,823 --> 00:30:25,790

Here's a liability.

 

811

00:30:25,790 --> 00:30:27,625

By bypassing the proper distribution.

 

812

00:30:27,625 --> 00:30:28,326

The service equipment

 

813

00:30:28,326 --> 00:30:30,295

is a violation of electrical codes

 

814

00:30:30,295 --> 00:30:31,763

and can avoid insurance.

 

815

00:30:31,763 --> 00:30:32,730

As Rob said, begin

 

816

00:30:32,730 --> 00:30:35,200

with violate permits and create liability

 

817

00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:35,900

if someone is hurt or

 

818

00:30:35,900 --> 00:30:38,803

property is damaged. Then go.

 

819

00:30:46,344 --> 00:30:47,145

Yeah.

 

820

00:30:47,145 --> 00:30:50,148

That's the little kid.

 

821

00:30:50,515 --> 00:30:52,217

The.

 

822

00:30:52,217 --> 00:30:52,951

That was the day

 

823

00:30:52,951 --> 00:30:55,353

that I changed everything.

 

824

00:30:55,353 --> 00:30:57,155

That was the day that I cut

 

825

00:30:57,155 --> 00:30:59,591

the alligator clips off of my court,

 

826

00:30:59,591 --> 00:31:01,359

and that was it.

 

827

00:31:01,359 --> 00:31:04,362

That was the day that I stopped doing it

 

828

00:31:04,362 --> 00:31:07,332

the way my dad did it, where we just tap

 

829

00:31:07,465 --> 00:31:09,234

took alligator clips and snapped.

 

830

00:31:09,234 --> 00:31:11,202

Damonte. Incoming likes.

 

831

00:31:11,202 --> 00:31:12,303

And. Yeah.

 

832

00:31:12,303 --> 00:31:14,639

You remember the story?

 

833

00:31:14,639 --> 00:31:15,473

I was done.

 

834

00:31:15,473 --> 00:31:17,141

I told Pete I'm going to go downstairs.

 

835

00:31:17,141 --> 00:31:18,877

Guess, disconnect

 

836

00:31:18,877 --> 00:31:19,377

and hook

 

837

00:31:19,377 --> 00:31:21,212

the circuit breaker panel up

 

838

00:31:21,212 --> 00:31:23,548

and went downstairs.

 

839

00:31:23,548 --> 00:31:26,618

And there's, family still living there.

 

840

00:31:26,618 --> 00:31:27,952

And the mom told the kid,

 

841

00:31:27,952 --> 00:31:29,721

when you get home from school,

 

842

00:31:29,721 --> 00:31:31,689

get your snack and go downstairs,

 

843

00:31:31,689 --> 00:31:32,891

it was a finished basement.

 

844

00:31:32,891 --> 00:31:35,860

Go downstairs and watch TV and,

 

845

00:31:38,396 --> 00:31:40,632

Leave the guys who were working.

 

846

00:31:40,632 --> 00:31:41,933

And I went downstairs,

 

847

00:31:41,933 --> 00:31:44,936

and there is this kid sitting under

 

848

00:31:45,403 --> 00:31:48,640

an a completely open breaker panel

 

849

00:31:50,108 --> 00:31:51,042

with his.

 

850

00:31:51,042 --> 00:31:51,342

He.

 

851

00:31:51,342 --> 00:31:54,345

His shoulder was touching my cord.

 

852

00:31:56,681 --> 00:31:58,116

The crazy part was,

 

853

00:31:58,116 --> 00:31:59,450

I remember thinking,

 

854

00:31:59,450 --> 00:32:02,453

if that was bomb, that was my kid,

 

855

00:32:02,954 --> 00:32:03,655

he'd have been dead

 

856

00:32:03,655 --> 00:32:04,822

because bomb would have been

 

857

00:32:04,822 --> 00:32:05,957

fiddling around in that.

 

858

00:32:05,957 --> 00:32:07,825

He loved taking chords apart

 

859

00:32:07,825 --> 00:32:08,993

and you know all that.

 

860

00:32:08,993 --> 00:32:11,262

He loved taking stuff apart.

 

861

00:32:11,262 --> 00:32:12,797

Electrical stuff.

 

862

00:32:12,797 --> 00:32:14,666

I mean,

 

863

00:32:14,666 --> 00:32:16,734

I just remember thinking,

 

864

00:32:16,734 --> 00:32:19,737

Mike, I could have killed this kid.

 

865

00:32:21,105 --> 00:32:24,108

Yeah.

 

866

00:32:26,177 --> 00:32:26,644

So.

 

867

00:32:26,644 --> 00:32:27,111

Yeah.

 

868

00:32:27,111 --> 00:32:30,114

Leaving things unattended.

 

869

00:32:30,114 --> 00:32:33,117

Absolutely crazy.

 

870

00:32:33,551 --> 00:32:35,486

Next one, they're overloading circuits,

 

871

00:32:35,486 --> 00:32:36,754

plugging a heavy machine

 

872

00:32:36,754 --> 00:32:39,257

into an unattended circuit

 

873

00:32:39,257 --> 00:32:40,825

and cause overload.

 

874

00:32:40,825 --> 00:32:42,460

That circuit

 

875

00:32:42,460 --> 00:32:43,394

tripping breakers,

 

876

00:32:43,394 --> 00:32:45,463

damaging the panel wiring

 

877

00:32:45,463 --> 00:32:47,398

and creating unsafe conditions.

 

878

00:32:47,398 --> 00:32:50,401

Also, that can damage your machine.

 

879

00:32:50,568 --> 00:32:53,137

Last show I was talking about that,

 

880

00:32:53,137 --> 00:32:56,140

the power drive that we did, and,

 

881

00:32:57,141 --> 00:32:59,610

Chicago,

 

882

00:32:59,610 --> 00:33:01,913

the guy hooked up for us,

 

883

00:33:01,913 --> 00:33:05,016

but we had to run about 120ft of cord.

 

884

00:33:07,085 --> 00:33:08,419

The electrician hooked up,

 

885

00:33:08,419 --> 00:33:11,422

but what he did was he hooked up right.

 

886

00:33:14,292 --> 00:33:17,295

He hooked up the power station

 

887

00:33:17,695 --> 00:33:19,597

right underneath the power source.

 

888

00:33:19,597 --> 00:33:21,432

And then he ran 120ft.

 

889

00:33:21,432 --> 00:33:23,701

A cord.

 

890

00:33:23,701 --> 00:33:25,436

Wrong. Okay.

 

891

00:33:25,436 --> 00:33:28,439

And that's why we ran.

 

892

00:33:28,439 --> 00:33:30,942

I ran it for about an hour

 

893

00:33:30,942 --> 00:33:33,111

showing him that this can work.

 

894

00:33:33,111 --> 00:33:34,679

This is how we do it.

 

895

00:33:34,679 --> 00:33:35,546

And then I shut it

 

896

00:33:35,546 --> 00:33:38,549

all down and said, all right, so.

 

897

00:33:39,517 --> 00:33:41,052

It can be done.

 

898

00:33:41,052 --> 00:33:42,954

But here's what I want you to do.

 

899

00:33:42,954 --> 00:33:45,957

You've got to get another power station,

 

900

00:33:47,425 --> 00:33:47,825

okay.

 

901

00:33:47,825 --> 00:33:49,594

Because this building

 

902

00:33:49,594 --> 00:33:52,497

I think this building, we boosted it up

 

903

00:33:52,497 --> 00:33:53,264

as far as we could

 

904

00:33:53,264 --> 00:33:55,566

and are still only getting about 217.

 

905

00:33:55,566 --> 00:33:58,002

And we're looking for about 240.

 

906

00:33:58,002 --> 00:33:58,903

Okay.

 

907

00:33:58,903 --> 00:33:59,370

So I said,

 

908

00:33:59,370 --> 00:34:01,305

we're doing a lot of things wrong here

 

909

00:34:01,305 --> 00:34:03,875

where we're running that cord

 

910

00:34:03,875 --> 00:34:06,177

120ft from the power source.

 

911

00:34:06,177 --> 00:34:09,180

I go, you want to be 50ft

 

912

00:34:09,714 --> 00:34:11,783

from power station to machine

 

913

00:34:13,551 --> 00:34:14,952

and then run your hot sauce.

 

914

00:34:14,952 --> 00:34:16,521

Now, if you're not getting enough juice,

 

915

00:34:16,521 --> 00:34:18,523

then you gotta run

 

916

00:34:18,523 --> 00:34:20,725

a second booster.

 

917

00:34:20,725 --> 00:34:22,060

So we get to 17,

 

918

00:34:22,060 --> 00:34:24,595

and then we can boost up from 217.

 

919

00:34:24,595 --> 00:34:25,496

We had to do that

 

920

00:34:25,496 --> 00:34:28,599

in Denver a couple of BC shows ago.

 

921

00:34:29,500 --> 00:34:31,269

I had to run about 300ft of cord.

 

922

00:34:31,269 --> 00:34:33,971

Remember I had to run it for you,

 

923

00:34:33,971 --> 00:34:35,907

and I ended up using 2

 

924

00:34:35,907 --> 00:34:38,042

or 3 power stations

 

925

00:34:38,042 --> 00:34:40,078

to keep boosting along the way.

 

926

00:34:40,078 --> 00:34:41,612

So we had

 

927

00:34:41,612 --> 00:34:42,213

proper

 

928

00:34:42,213 --> 00:34:43,414

I mean, the great thing

 

929

00:34:43,414 --> 00:34:45,216

about the power station,

 

930

00:34:45,216 --> 00:34:47,652

it can boost or buck power,

 

931

00:34:47,652 --> 00:34:48,619

you know, can bucket.

 

932

00:34:48,619 --> 00:34:49,654

If it's too high,

 

933

00:34:49,654 --> 00:34:50,621

we can get it down

 

934

00:34:50,621 --> 00:34:53,891

close to where we need it to 20 to 40,

 

935

00:34:54,192 --> 00:34:57,195

whatever we're calling for.

 

936

00:34:57,762 --> 00:34:59,797

Or we can boost it.

 

937

00:34:59,797 --> 00:35:01,232

So that's what I love about that

 

938

00:35:01,232 --> 00:35:02,166

power station is

 

939

00:35:02,166 --> 00:35:04,368

we can go either way with that.

 

940

00:35:04,368 --> 00:35:06,704

But I did shut them down and say,

 

941

00:35:06,704 --> 00:35:08,573

all right, it can work. I said, but

 

942

00:35:09,574 --> 00:35:10,074

here's how I

 

943

00:35:10,074 --> 00:35:11,676

want you guys set up your power

 

944

00:35:11,676 --> 00:35:13,077

from now on, okay?

 

945

00:35:13,077 --> 00:35:14,846

We're not just because

 

946

00:35:14,846 --> 00:35:15,413

the other thing

 

947

00:35:15,413 --> 00:35:16,481

I said, what can happen is

 

948

00:35:16,481 --> 00:35:17,849

we can burn out capacitors

 

949

00:35:17,849 --> 00:35:18,616

and things like that.

 

950

00:35:18,616 --> 00:35:21,385

And then.

 

951

00:35:21,385 --> 00:35:23,020

We go back to our old the show

 

952

00:35:23,020 --> 00:35:26,023

we did before about prevention, right.

 

953

00:35:26,891 --> 00:35:27,825

Don't do it.

 

954

00:35:27,825 --> 00:35:29,393

If you know what's wrong, don't do it

 

955

00:35:29,393 --> 00:35:30,928

because it could cause things

 

956

00:35:30,928 --> 00:35:33,931

you know worse down the road.

 

957

00:35:45,776 --> 00:35:47,245

Yes, I just yep.

 

958

00:35:47,245 --> 00:35:50,248

Yeah, that can damage the equipment.

 

959

00:35:50,314 --> 00:35:51,849

and site safety concerns.

 

960

00:35:51,849 --> 00:35:53,718

Contractors may not be following

 

961

00:35:53,718 --> 00:35:55,253

lockout tag out procedures

 

962

00:35:55,253 --> 00:35:56,621

which are designed to prevent accidental

 

963

00:35:56,621 --> 00:35:58,089

and energizing of equipment.

 

964

00:35:58,089 --> 00:36:01,392

So, kind of out we are, we talked about,

 

965

00:36:02,493 --> 00:36:03,327

we really,

 

966

00:36:03,327 --> 00:36:06,264

encourage you to stay away from it.

 

967

00:36:06,264 --> 00:36:07,165

And it really that's

 

968

00:36:07,165 --> 00:36:09,400

that's really the only right answer

 

969

00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:10,568

We're going to put this up.

 

970

00:36:10,568 --> 00:36:11,936

Let's put this list up.

 

971

00:36:11,936 --> 00:36:13,271

Let's have Chris put this up

 

972

00:36:13,271 --> 00:36:14,472

so everybody can read it.

 

973

00:36:14,472 --> 00:36:15,573

And,

 

974

00:36:15,573 --> 00:36:16,274

because it does

 

975

00:36:16,274 --> 00:36:19,277

have safe alternatives for what to do.

 

976

00:36:19,277 --> 00:36:21,145

And that's where

 

977

00:36:21,145 --> 00:36:22,446

that's where we're at now.

 

978

00:36:23,514 --> 00:36:25,316

Just go with the safer alternatives.

 

979

00:36:25,316 --> 00:36:27,251

Have plenty of pigtails.

 

980

00:36:27,251 --> 00:36:29,654

So you're not,

 

981

00:36:29,654 --> 00:36:30,988

I think one of the funny

 

982

00:36:30,988 --> 00:36:32,390

I think one of the funniest ones

 

983

00:36:32,390 --> 00:36:33,925

I ever saw

 

984

00:36:33,925 --> 00:36:36,260

was, I had to go out

 

985

00:36:36,260 --> 00:36:39,130

on a job site one time and

 

986

00:36:39,130 --> 00:36:40,031

going through the garage,

 

987

00:36:40,031 --> 00:36:40,498

and you can hear

 

988

00:36:40,498 --> 00:36:42,366

the big machines running,

 

989

00:36:42,366 --> 00:36:44,769

and he had plugged into the dryer.

 

990

00:36:44,769 --> 00:36:46,704

Okay.

 

991

00:36:46,704 --> 00:36:47,672

But what he did

 

992

00:36:47,672 --> 00:36:49,307

was he moved the dryer out of the way,

 

993

00:36:49,307 --> 00:36:51,342

and he took three screwdrivers

 

994

00:36:51,342 --> 00:36:54,712

and stuck them into the outlet.

 

995

00:36:55,146 --> 00:36:58,149

And then he snapped

 

996

00:36:58,149 --> 00:37:01,152

it, snapped his alligator clips.

 

997

00:37:02,453 --> 00:37:04,422

On to the screwdrivers.

 

998

00:37:04,422 --> 00:37:05,189

But he was safe.

 

999

00:37:05,189 --> 00:37:06,791

He put little pieces of cardboard

 

1000

00:37:06,791 --> 00:37:07,959

in between there.

 

1001

00:37:07,959 --> 00:37:10,962

You know,

 

1002

00:37:12,096 --> 00:37:13,698

and I just remember saying to the,

 

1003

00:37:13,698 --> 00:37:14,732

you know, he's like, hey,

 

1004

00:37:14,732 --> 00:37:15,600

you know, we're talking.

 

1005

00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:16,334

I go, hey,

 

1006

00:37:16,334 --> 00:37:17,368

can I talk to you for a

 

1007

00:37:17,368 --> 00:37:17,969

I'm going to show you,

 

1008

00:37:17,969 --> 00:37:19,170

give me it for a minute.

 

1009

00:37:19,170 --> 00:37:19,971

I said, you know,

 

1010

00:37:21,372 --> 00:37:22,406

I can run down to Home

 

1011

00:37:22,406 --> 00:37:24,141

Depot and grab you a cord.

 

1012

00:37:24,141 --> 00:37:24,375

You know,

 

1013

00:37:24,375 --> 00:37:25,009

he goes, yeah,

 

1014

00:37:25,009 --> 00:37:28,012

I know I keep meaning to do that.

 

1015

00:37:30,615 --> 00:37:31,816

to the casino

 

1016

00:37:31,816 --> 00:37:34,085

and and put down a bet

 

1017

00:37:34,085 --> 00:37:36,020

that you're going to be right?

 

1018

00:37:36,020 --> 00:37:39,023

1500,

 

1019

00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:43,728

Yeah.

 

1020

00:37:43,728 --> 00:37:45,796

Yes.

 

1021

00:37:45,796 --> 00:37:46,364

And I think we,

 

1022

00:37:46,364 --> 00:37:48,065

you know, your life is precious, man.

 

1023

00:37:48,065 --> 00:37:49,567

And, you know, people depend on you

 

1024

00:37:49,567 --> 00:37:51,936

and and what have you. And,

 

1025

00:37:51,936 --> 00:37:53,037

you know, it's just,

 

1026

00:37:53,037 --> 00:37:55,640

not worth taking the risk. Right?

 

1027

00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,775

No, not at all.

 

1028

00:37:57,775 --> 00:37:58,609

Because I think the

 

1029

00:37:58,609 --> 00:38:01,212

the scariest thing about electricity

 

1030

00:38:01,212 --> 00:38:02,780

is the

 

1031

00:38:02,780 --> 00:38:05,950

freaking speed in which it can nail you.

 

1032

00:38:06,017 --> 00:38:08,486

Just the blink of an eye.

 

1033

00:38:08,486 --> 00:38:09,353

It's blink of an eye.

 

1034

00:38:09,353 --> 00:38:12,356

Stuff.

 

1035

00:38:18,529 --> 00:38:18,929

All right.

 

1036

00:38:18,929 --> 00:38:19,930

This has been another episode

 

1037

00:38:19,930 --> 00:38:21,532

of On the Floor with Wayne and Rob.

 

1038

00:38:21,532 --> 00:38:23,234

Please stay tuned for another episode.
