00:00:11,544 --> 00:00:13,146
Hello and welcome to another episode
2
00:00:13,146 --> 00:00:14,647
of On the Floor with Wayne and Rob.
3
00:00:14,647 --> 00:00:17,650
I'm Wayne Highlander with Bona Adhesives.
4
00:00:21,121 --> 00:00:23,757
Hey, Rob, I got a question for you.
5
00:00:23,757 --> 00:00:25,492
Rob,
6
00:00:25,492 --> 00:00:27,394
has there ever been a time in your life
7
00:00:27,394 --> 00:00:29,562
when you've an early adopter
8
00:00:29,562 --> 00:00:32,565
to technology?
9
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,803
Yeah.
10
00:00:36,970 --> 00:00:37,470
Okay.
11
00:00:37,470 --> 00:00:40,473
Talk to me.
12
00:00:45,478 --> 00:00:47,914
Yeah.
13
00:00:47,914 --> 00:00:50,884
yes.
14
00:00:56,289 --> 00:00:56,756
Yeah.
15
00:00:56,756 --> 00:00:58,458
You got some up too?
16
00:00:58,458 --> 00:01:01,461
Yeah.
17
00:01:07,167 --> 00:01:09,502
Yeah, I knew.
18
00:01:09,502 --> 00:01:11,938
I knew he was going to catch that.
19
00:01:11,938 --> 00:01:32,826
I thought you think
20
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,962
that I.
21
00:01:50,844 --> 00:01:51,311
Yeah.
22
00:01:51,311 --> 00:01:54,314
23
00:02:01,654 --> 00:02:04,290
And that.
24
00:02:04,290 --> 00:02:04,691
Yeah.
25
00:02:04,691 --> 00:02:07,694
There's,
26
00:02:12,899 --> 00:02:14,934
yeah, yeah.
27
00:02:14,934 --> 00:02:16,336
There's, there's so many guys
28
00:02:16,336 --> 00:02:17,370
that could have made that list
29
00:02:17,370 --> 00:02:18,805
and should have made that list.
30
00:02:18,805 --> 00:02:20,507
It makes it so hard.
31
00:02:20,507 --> 00:02:23,276
I mean, but yeah, like I said, it's just
32
00:02:23,276 --> 00:02:25,378
you got to, you know,
33
00:02:25,378 --> 00:02:28,381
we can't put them all on the team and
34
00:02:28,748 --> 00:02:31,718
it's tough stuff but, but, but, but
35
00:02:32,852 --> 00:02:34,954
the calls have been pretty funny.
36
00:02:34,954 --> 00:02:36,623
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
37
00:02:36,623 --> 00:02:39,626
You put, you put you, you put him
38
00:02:39,626 --> 00:02:42,629
and you put him instead of me.
39
00:02:42,695 --> 00:02:45,298
Are you kidding me?
40
00:02:45,298 --> 00:02:46,866
And they were all having
41
00:02:46,866 --> 00:02:49,869
fun here.
42
00:02:50,036 --> 00:02:50,737
Yeah.
43
00:02:50,737 --> 00:02:53,339
There's a lot of fun.
44
00:02:53,339 --> 00:02:55,842
Hey, hey.
45
00:02:55,842 --> 00:02:57,443
Like I'm a, I'm a judge of talent.
46
00:02:57,443 --> 00:02:57,911
Like my
47
00:02:57,911 --> 00:02:58,811
I thought Kentucky
48
00:02:58,811 --> 00:02:59,579
was going to go all the way.
49
00:02:59,579 --> 00:03:00,880
They got bounced by Tennessee in
50
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,883
no time, so.
51
00:03:06,853 --> 00:03:09,422
Ah, in.
52
00:03:09,422 --> 00:03:11,090
I don't know that that's ever happened.
53
00:03:11,090 --> 00:03:11,724
I know it's happened
54
00:03:11,724 --> 00:03:14,727
at least one other time.
55
00:03:15,028 --> 00:03:16,095
Yeah. Yeah.
56
00:03:16,095 --> 00:03:19,098
Well, it's going to be it's going to be.
57
00:03:19,265 --> 00:03:20,633
I mean, all the teams are incredible
58
00:03:20,633 --> 00:03:21,034
right now.
59
00:03:21,034 --> 00:03:24,037
They have so amazing talent out there.
60
00:03:24,270 --> 00:03:25,104
All right.
61
00:03:25,104 --> 00:03:27,640
Early adapters.
62
00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:30,076
I can tell you
63
00:03:30,076 --> 00:03:32,178
one time that I was definitely
64
00:03:32,178 --> 00:03:35,048
an early adapter and times that I was.
65
00:03:35,048 --> 00:03:36,082
I've been I've been
66
00:03:36,082 --> 00:03:37,016
I've missed the boat
67
00:03:37,016 --> 00:03:38,117
more than been on the boat
68
00:03:38,117 --> 00:03:40,086
for early adapters.
69
00:03:40,086 --> 00:03:44,257
But the one time I was an early adapter,
70
00:03:45,625 --> 00:03:48,328
but I didn't necessarily
71
00:03:48,328 --> 00:03:49,963
get on it after that.
72
00:03:49,963 --> 00:03:50,597
And I'll just I'll,
73
00:03:50,597 --> 00:03:51,764
I'll explain what that was.
74
00:03:51,764 --> 00:03:54,033
It was water based finish
75
00:03:54,033 --> 00:03:56,402
living in California as a contractor.
76
00:03:56,402 --> 00:03:57,904
I heard about water
77
00:03:57,904 --> 00:04:00,173
based finish early on in my career
78
00:04:00,173 --> 00:04:01,841
and I thought
79
00:04:01,841 --> 00:04:04,344
I better learn this technology.
80
00:04:04,344 --> 00:04:07,013
So I did embrace it early on.
81
00:04:07,013 --> 00:04:08,314
But it didn't I didn't
82
00:04:08,314 --> 00:04:11,217
I didn't necessarily switch over
83
00:04:11,217 --> 00:04:12,919
most of my business to water.
84
00:04:12,919 --> 00:04:15,555
I still stayed probably 80% oil
85
00:04:15,555 --> 00:04:17,390
for a long time after that.
86
00:04:17,390 --> 00:04:18,958
But the thing is,
87
00:04:18,958 --> 00:04:20,660
I wanted to know how to do it
88
00:04:20,660 --> 00:04:22,061
in case it came up.
89
00:04:22,061 --> 00:04:22,629
You know what I mean?
90
00:04:22,629 --> 00:04:23,196
That in case
91
00:04:23,196 --> 00:04:24,264
anybody ever asked me to do that,
92
00:04:24,264 --> 00:04:25,465
I wanted to be proficient in it.
93
00:04:25,465 --> 00:04:26,833
I wanted to still comfortable in it.
94
00:04:26,833 --> 00:04:28,101
I want to know all the
95
00:04:28,101 --> 00:04:29,502
techniques to until eventually
96
00:04:29,502 --> 00:04:31,404
we did switch over altogether.
97
00:04:31,404 --> 00:04:34,340
But I saw then I talked about before,
98
00:04:34,340 --> 00:04:35,208
what really got me
99
00:04:35,208 --> 00:04:36,576
was my father in law
100
00:04:36,576 --> 00:04:39,112
financially saw the benefits of doing it.
101
00:04:39,112 --> 00:04:40,079
When you counted
102
00:04:40,079 --> 00:04:42,181
how many trips to the job
103
00:04:42,181 --> 00:04:43,283
and you extrapolate that out
104
00:04:43,283 --> 00:04:45,118
by 50 weeks in a year,
105
00:04:45,118 --> 00:04:47,253
how many trips it was saving me,
106
00:04:47,253 --> 00:04:49,522
it just became a no brainer to me.
107
00:04:49,522 --> 00:04:49,922
So
108
00:04:50,890 --> 00:04:52,492
you talking about sometimes
109
00:04:52,492 --> 00:04:56,062
50 days in a year of less trips to jobs,
110
00:04:56,562 --> 00:04:57,497
which
111
00:04:57,497 --> 00:04:59,265
which finally got me over, but,
112
00:04:59,265 --> 00:05:01,434
well, I was an early adapter.
113
00:05:01,434 --> 00:05:04,404
It took me still several years after that
114
00:05:04,704 --> 00:05:07,907
before I switched completely, I'll say
115
00:05:08,541 --> 00:05:11,544
90, 95% anyhow.
116
00:05:11,711 --> 00:05:14,714
So yeah,
117
00:05:34,834 --> 00:05:37,570
well,
118
00:05:37,570 --> 00:05:40,573
no.
119
00:05:43,843 --> 00:05:44,977
Yeah.
120
00:05:44,977 --> 00:05:47,980
So it's a long time in
121
00:05:48,781 --> 00:05:50,483
Europe, in Europe
122
00:05:50,483 --> 00:05:53,453
in my Uncle Stan status.
123
00:05:54,954 --> 00:05:57,123
Yeah.
124
00:05:57,123 --> 00:05:58,024
Yeah.
125
00:05:58,024 --> 00:06:01,027
It's crazy
126
00:06:15,241 --> 00:06:18,244
to
127
00:06:18,845 --> 00:06:20,313
No kidding
128
00:06:20,313 --> 00:06:22,682
of times to your early adapter.
129
00:06:22,682 --> 00:06:25,685
Okay.
130
00:06:27,153 --> 00:06:28,054
Okay.
131
00:06:28,054 --> 00:06:29,122
Okay.
132
00:06:29,122 --> 00:06:32,125
Yep.
133
00:06:32,558 --> 00:06:35,395
Yeah,
134
00:06:35,395 --> 00:06:38,364
yeah,
135
00:06:39,265 --> 00:06:41,667
yeah.
136
00:06:41,667 --> 00:06:43,436
Okay.
137
00:06:43,436 --> 00:06:45,204
Well, hey, I'm very curious
138
00:06:45,204 --> 00:06:48,174
to hear these.
139
00:06:50,276 --> 00:06:53,279
Wow.
140
00:06:55,314 --> 00:06:56,582
Yeah, they.
141
00:06:56,582 --> 00:06:59,585
Everybody buys them in boxes.
142
00:07:08,394 --> 00:07:09,662
We take in 12 inch paper
143
00:07:09,662 --> 00:07:12,665
in the.
144
00:07:20,339 --> 00:07:23,342
my gosh.
145
00:07:23,643 --> 00:07:26,379
No kidding.
146
00:07:26,379 --> 00:07:28,381
Yeah,
147
00:07:28,381 --> 00:07:29,682
we're.
148
00:07:29,682 --> 00:07:30,983
Was it actually cheaper?
149
00:07:30,983 --> 00:07:32,718
I mean, I know it takes a time.
150
00:07:32,718 --> 00:07:34,220
Time out of element out of it.
151
00:07:38,624 --> 00:07:41,627
It
152
00:07:43,262 --> 00:07:43,996
you think you might
153
00:07:43,996 --> 00:07:45,264
have stopped and went.
154
00:07:45,264 --> 00:07:46,499
You know,
155
00:07:46,499 --> 00:07:49,502
maybe we don't have to do the assembly.
156
00:07:58,377 --> 00:08:01,147
Yeah.
157
00:08:01,147 --> 00:08:02,148
Yeah.
158
00:08:02,148 --> 00:08:05,151
We try to rip off.
159
00:08:08,354 --> 00:08:10,490
Well,
160
00:08:10,490 --> 00:08:13,493
yeah, yeah,
161
00:08:18,664 --> 00:08:21,667
yeah.
162
00:08:26,172 --> 00:08:29,175
Wow,
163
00:08:37,717 --> 00:08:40,720
wow, wow.
164
00:08:41,621 --> 00:08:43,856
That's a that's a trip, man.
165
00:08:43,856 --> 00:08:46,859
Yeah. Well, all right,
166
00:08:47,159 --> 00:08:47,994
So. So.
167
00:08:47,994 --> 00:08:50,630
So you were not an early adapter.
168
00:08:50,630 --> 00:08:51,297
You were about.
169
00:08:51,297 --> 00:08:53,966
You're about as late as it gets.
170
00:08:53,966 --> 00:08:54,667
Yeah. Okay.
171
00:08:54,667 --> 00:08:57,537
Okay,
172
00:08:57,537 --> 00:09:00,540
okay, okay.
173
00:09:03,876 --> 00:09:06,879
Yeah,
174
00:09:07,380 --> 00:09:10,383
yeah,
175
00:09:13,119 --> 00:09:16,122
yeah.
176
00:09:18,824 --> 00:09:20,626
Yeah,
177
00:09:20,626 --> 00:09:22,962
yeah, yeah, yeah.
178
00:09:22,962 --> 00:09:24,597
Okay.
179
00:09:24,597 --> 00:09:25,031
All right.
180
00:09:25,031 --> 00:09:28,034
What's the third
181
00:09:32,939 --> 00:09:33,472
band?
182
00:09:33,472 --> 00:09:34,840
That's hot.
183
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,843
That's hard to believe.
184
00:09:39,712 --> 00:09:42,715
Yeah,
185
00:09:47,453 --> 00:09:50,456
we did two.
186
00:10:10,109 --> 00:10:13,112
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
187
00:10:13,179 --> 00:10:16,182
right,
188
00:10:20,319 --> 00:10:22,822
yeah, yeah, yeah.
189
00:10:22,822 --> 00:10:25,491
Wow.
190
00:10:25,491 --> 00:10:28,494
Yeah.
191
00:10:30,029 --> 00:10:33,032
You?
192
00:10:33,132 --> 00:10:33,532
Yeah.
193
00:10:33,532 --> 00:10:35,468
Yeah.
194
00:10:35,468 --> 00:10:36,035
It's funny.
195
00:10:36,035 --> 00:10:39,038
We.
196
00:10:39,805 --> 00:10:41,407
Well, we didn't.
197
00:10:41,407 --> 00:10:42,341
We didn't change it
198
00:10:42,341 --> 00:10:43,275
because I heard
199
00:10:43,275 --> 00:10:45,444
they didn't cut as aggressively so that.
200
00:10:45,444 --> 00:10:47,847
No, we can, I can play one of those.
201
00:10:47,847 --> 00:10:48,447
You want something.
202
00:10:48,447 --> 00:10:50,983
So I also was way behind
203
00:10:50,983 --> 00:10:52,218
on that one as well.
204
00:10:58,491 --> 00:10:59,759
Okay, you guys.
205
00:10:59,759 --> 00:11:02,762
But you guys started it though with the
206
00:11:02,762 --> 00:11:03,362
bowling alley.
207
00:11:03,362 --> 00:11:06,365
Finished
208
00:11:06,399 --> 00:11:09,402
Okay.
209
00:11:11,604 --> 00:11:14,573
Okay.
210
00:11:26,385 --> 00:11:29,388
Well,
211
00:11:32,358 --> 00:11:34,160
yeah,
212
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,163
yeah.
213
00:11:44,303 --> 00:11:47,273
Wow.
214
00:11:54,113 --> 00:11:56,982
Yeah,

00:12:00,086 --> 00:12:03,089
yeah, yeah.
217
00:12:10,596 --> 00:12:10,963
Did you.
218
00:12:10,963 --> 00:12:13,966
Did.
219
00:12:16,235 --> 00:12:19,238
Yeah.
220
00:12:20,306 --> 00:12:23,309
Wow.
221
00:12:23,809 --> 00:12:25,344
Yeah,
222
00:12:25,344 --> 00:12:27,546
yeah. Yep.
223
00:12:27,546 --> 00:12:30,549
Damn
224
00:12:30,583 --> 00:12:31,150
easy.
225
00:12:31,150 --> 00:12:32,752
Yep.
226
00:12:32,752 --> 00:12:34,920
Wow, wow,
227
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,055
that.
228
00:12:36,055 --> 00:12:37,056
Yeah.
229
00:12:37,056 --> 00:12:39,024
You.
230
00:12:39,024 --> 00:12:41,293
You jumped on it.
231
00:12:41,293 --> 00:12:42,862
Wow,
232
00:12:42,862 --> 00:12:44,063
wow, wow.
233
00:12:44,063 --> 00:12:47,066
That's something else,
234
00:12:55,741 --> 00:12:57,510
right?
235
00:12:57,510 --> 00:13:00,513
Yeah,
236
00:13:11,557 --> 00:13:14,326
yeah, yeah.
237
00:13:14,326 --> 00:13:17,296
Yep,
238
00:13:17,296 --> 00:13:20,299
yep, yep,
239
00:13:21,867 --> 00:13:24,870
yep.
240
00:13:28,808 --> 00:13:31,243
So,
241
00:13:31,243 --> 00:13:32,378
yeah,
242
00:13:32,378 --> 00:13:33,245
back in the day,
243
00:13:33,245 --> 00:13:36,248
we we didn't have vacuums at first.
244
00:13:36,382 --> 00:13:37,249
We pruned everything.
245
00:13:37,249 --> 00:13:38,284
We pushed, pruned everything.
246
00:13:38,284 --> 00:13:39,318
And we always kept the,
247
00:13:39,318 --> 00:13:40,953
putting out in your back pocket
248
00:13:40,953 --> 00:13:43,189
to get the corners and,
249
00:13:43,189 --> 00:13:44,089
and that's how, that's,
250
00:13:44,089 --> 00:13:44,323
you know,
251
00:13:44,323 --> 00:13:45,357
we put like, shellac
252
00:13:45,357 --> 00:13:47,393
and whatever a polish on it,
253
00:13:47,393 --> 00:13:49,929
but then we went to vacuums,
254
00:13:49,929 --> 00:13:51,864
we went, to those home vacuums,
255
00:13:51,864 --> 00:13:53,365
like the three horsepower little ones
256
00:13:53,365 --> 00:13:54,733
you could hold in your hand,
257
00:13:54,733 --> 00:13:56,602
like really Smart Hammer or the Brandon.
258
00:13:56,602 --> 00:13:58,170
But we loved them
259
00:13:58,170 --> 00:14:00,105
because they're really small and compact
260
00:14:00,105 --> 00:14:01,841
and they were just house house ones.
261
00:14:01,841 --> 00:14:02,942
They're expensive, by the way,
262
00:14:02,942 --> 00:14:05,845
and they did not last any time at all.
263
00:14:05,845 --> 00:14:06,212
When.
264
00:14:07,646 --> 00:14:09,748
No, and not no at all.
265
00:14:09,748 --> 00:14:12,518
And when the backpack bags came out,
266
00:14:12,518 --> 00:14:14,119
that was that was a lifesaver.
267
00:14:14,119 --> 00:14:16,088
That man, this is this is pretty cool.
268
00:14:16,088 --> 00:14:17,122
That was a big switch up.
269
00:14:17,122 --> 00:14:20,092
Yeah.
270
00:14:20,359 --> 00:14:22,361
Yeah.
271
00:14:22,361 --> 00:14:25,364
Big deal.
272
00:14:32,905 --> 00:14:34,907
Yeah, it was Yeah, yeah,
273
00:14:34,907 --> 00:14:37,910
yeah, yeah.
274
00:14:41,647 --> 00:14:44,650
Yeah.
275
00:14:46,418 --> 00:14:46,919
And now.
276
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:48,520
And now
277
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,322
HEPA filters on the on the vacs.
278
00:14:50,322 --> 00:14:53,325
So come a long, long way.
279
00:15:00,432 --> 00:15:03,435
Yeah,
280
00:15:09,375 --> 00:15:11,944
Yeah,
281
00:15:11,944 --> 00:15:14,914
yeah, yeah.
282
00:15:14,914 --> 00:15:15,981
if somebody, if somebody.
283
00:15:15,981 --> 00:15:17,983
A dollar a square foot more.
284
00:15:17,983 --> 00:15:20,986
Yeah,
285
00:15:25,958 --> 00:15:28,961
yeah, yeah, yeah,
286
00:15:30,262 --> 00:15:33,265
yeah, yeah.
287
00:15:47,379 --> 00:15:50,382
Yeah.
288
00:15:50,616 --> 00:15:54,019
Well not many did
289
00:15:54,653 --> 00:15:56,288
planetary Sanders
290
00:15:56,288 --> 00:15:57,623
until, until,
291
00:15:57,623 --> 00:16:00,225
til really the till the came out
292
00:16:00,225 --> 00:16:00,893
I mean there was,
293
00:16:00,893 --> 00:16:01,827
there was one out there.
294
00:16:01,827 --> 00:16:02,828
Good machine,
295
00:16:02,828 --> 00:16:04,530
but it really wasn't,
296
00:16:04,530 --> 00:16:06,332
you know, you didn't see a lot of them.
297
00:16:06,332 --> 00:16:08,667
So yeah, I think that's forgivable.
298
00:16:08,667 --> 00:16:09,034
Yeah.
299
00:16:18,844 --> 00:16:21,847
Yeah.
300
00:16:25,484 --> 00:16:28,487
Yeah,
301
00:16:28,754 --> 00:16:29,088
yeah.
302
00:16:29,088 --> 00:16:32,091
But
303
00:16:46,605 --> 00:16:49,608
yeah,
304
00:16:56,115 --> 00:16:59,118
yeah,
305
00:17:01,286 --> 00:17:04,289
yeah.
306
00:17:13,132 --> 00:17:13,999
Well you're
307
00:17:13,999 --> 00:17:17,002
in, you're in Boston, right?
308
00:17:17,169 --> 00:17:20,172
I'm your Boston guy.
309
00:17:20,205 --> 00:17:23,275
And this is pretty sad actually.
310
00:17:24,309 --> 00:17:27,312
Just came out word for business magazine
311
00:17:27,813 --> 00:17:28,414
in. Sure.
312
00:17:28,414 --> 00:17:30,382
Susan would refinish yours for $3.8
313
00:17:30,382 --> 00:17:33,385
million And Boston restaurant fire,
314
00:17:34,319 --> 00:17:36,221
stain
315
00:17:36,221 --> 00:17:37,222
rags are saying,
316
00:17:37,222 --> 00:17:39,124
is he suing three wood
317
00:17:39,124 --> 00:17:40,893
refinish companies allegedly caused fire
318
00:17:40,893 --> 00:17:43,896
by estimated $3.8 million?
319
00:17:45,531 --> 00:17:46,198
second oldest
320
00:17:46,198 --> 00:17:47,933
continuously run
321
00:17:47,933 --> 00:17:49,735
operating restaurant in since 19.
322
00:17:49,735 --> 00:17:52,304
Since 1868.
323
00:17:52,304 --> 00:17:55,274
failing
324
00:17:55,307 --> 00:17:56,408
to improperly
325
00:17:56,408 --> 00:17:57,709
disposing of flammable
326
00:17:57,709 --> 00:17:58,744
substance used for wood
327
00:17:58,744 --> 00:18:00,479
refinished is what they're claiming.
328
00:18:00,479 --> 00:18:02,781
Okay, so it's very sad.
329
00:18:02,781 --> 00:18:04,817
What's the name of
330
00:18:04,817 --> 00:18:07,820
a C
331
00:18:08,087 --> 00:18:11,090
Jacob Worth restaurant?
332
00:18:12,091 --> 00:18:15,094
Yeah.
333
00:18:15,427 --> 00:18:16,628
Okay.
334
00:18:16,628 --> 00:18:19,465
So anyhow, it's very sad.
335
00:18:19,465 --> 00:18:22,034
So but
336
00:18:22,034 --> 00:18:22,935
I do think
337
00:18:22,935 --> 00:18:23,535
and it seems like
338
00:18:23,535 --> 00:18:24,036
we've been seeing
339
00:18:24,036 --> 00:18:25,771
a lot of these recently,
340
00:18:25,771 --> 00:18:27,172
so I think that's an innovation
341
00:18:27,172 --> 00:18:27,673
to your point
342
00:18:27,673 --> 00:18:28,874
that has to come along
343
00:18:28,874 --> 00:18:30,909
and and change the industry.
344
00:18:30,909 --> 00:18:32,978
I said that before that,
345
00:18:32,978 --> 00:18:33,278
you know,
346
00:18:33,278 --> 00:18:35,080
we're not making NASCAR money
347
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:36,748
doing doing this industry.
348
00:18:36,748 --> 00:18:39,251
We it's enough to put our lives at risk
349
00:18:39,251 --> 00:18:41,186
and our bodies at risk and everything.
350
00:18:41,186 --> 00:18:44,189
So we're embracing new technology.
351
00:18:44,189 --> 00:18:46,792
I Think sometimes
352
00:18:46,792 --> 00:18:49,828
is good for a lot of reasons.
353
00:18:49,828 --> 00:18:50,429
As you say.
354
00:19:09,748 --> 00:19:12,751
Yeah,
355
00:19:13,252 --> 00:19:14,586
yeah.
356
00:19:14,586 --> 00:19:16,889
By the way.
357
00:19:16,889 --> 00:19:19,892
And by the way, I hope
358
00:19:20,292 --> 00:19:21,960
whoever was involved in the job,
359
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,162
the best of luck.
360
00:19:23,162 --> 00:19:24,963
I mean, and maybe it's not even that.
361
00:19:24,963 --> 00:19:25,697
Maybe they'll find out
362
00:19:25,697 --> 00:19:26,865
it was something different.
363
00:19:26,865 --> 00:19:29,868
I hope that's the case when
364
00:19:31,570 --> 00:19:34,573
you get
365
00:19:38,610 --> 00:19:41,613
in.
366
00:19:48,453 --> 00:19:51,456
Yeah.
367
00:19:51,990 --> 00:19:54,993
Wow.
368
00:19:56,995 --> 00:19:58,397
That the first time
369
00:19:58,397 --> 00:19:59,097
that the first time
370
00:19:59,097 --> 00:20:02,100
you guys skedaddled out of town?
371
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,443
Yeah.
372
00:20:30,829 --> 00:20:33,832
And.
373
00:20:35,834 --> 00:20:38,503
Wow,
374
00:20:38,503 --> 00:20:41,506
you know,
375
00:20:45,844 --> 00:20:48,847
and.
376
00:20:56,188 --> 00:20:59,191
Yeah.
377
00:20:59,191 --> 00:21:00,058
Wow.

00:21:37,162 --> 00:21:38,430
That's a scary moment for your
385
00:21:38,430 --> 00:21:40,832
for your dad at that time.
386
00:21:40,832 --> 00:21:42,301
I can't imagine.
387
00:21:42,301 --> 00:21:44,569
Yeah.
388
00:21:44,569 --> 00:21:46,872

the way.
391
00:21:51,843 --> 00:21:52,511
Yeah.
392
00:21:52,511 --> 00:21:52,844
Is that
393
00:21:52,844 --> 00:21:54,413
why your dad made you a subcontractor
394
00:21:54,413 --> 00:21:56,214
so he could blame it on you
395
00:21:56,214 --> 00:21:58,283
for liability purposes?
396
00:22:01,553 --> 00:22:03,855
Yeah.
397
00:22:03,855 --> 00:22:05,624
we're.
398
00:22:05,624 --> 00:22:08,627
Yeah, Yeah, we're way to the top.
399
00:22:10,796 --> 00:22:13,165
Wow.
400
00:22:13,165 --> 00:22:16,168
It.
401
00:22:16,201 --> 00:22:17,336
Yeah.
402
00:22:17,336 --> 00:22:19,571
You're a kid.
403
00:22:19,571 --> 00:22:21,340
Yeah.
404
00:22:21,340 --> 00:22:22,908
You all right?
405
00:22:22,908 --> 00:22:25,911
Let's go to is.
406
00:22:33,318 --> 00:22:34,419
Yeah.
407
00:22:34,419 --> 00:22:37,422
Now it's in general
408
00:22:37,889 --> 00:22:39,391
education.
409
00:22:39,391 --> 00:22:42,394
Stupid.
410
00:22:42,427 --> 00:22:45,364
Yeah,
411
00:22:45,364 --> 00:22:47,499
yeah, yeah.
412
00:22:47,499 --> 00:22:48,734
It's good enough for him.
413
00:22:48,734 --> 00:22:51,236
Good enough for you.
414
00:22:51,236 --> 00:22:52,804
Really?
415
00:22:52,804 --> 00:22:55,807
Yeah,
416
00:23:09,221 --> 00:23:12,224
yeah, yeah,
417
00:23:13,658 --> 00:23:16,528
yeah, yeah.
418
00:23:16,528 --> 00:23:17,396
Nothing.
419
00:23:17,396 --> 00:23:20,399
Wow, wow, wow.
420
00:23:37,482 --> 00:23:40,452
Yeah, yeah,
421
00:23:42,120 --> 00:23:45,123
yeah,
422
00:23:45,690 --> 00:23:48,693
yeah.
423
00:23:57,469 --> 00:24:00,472
Really?
424
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,243
I couldn't embrace him fast enough.
425
00:24:05,477 --> 00:24:08,480
Wow.
426
00:24:09,347 --> 00:24:12,117
A magnesium minor.
427
00:24:12,117 --> 00:24:15,120
What?
428
00:24:16,988 --> 00:24:19,691
Well, the coming up.
429
00:24:19,691 --> 00:24:20,025
Yeah.
430
00:24:20,025 --> 00:24:22,494
Yeah.
431
00:24:22,494 --> 00:24:25,497
Well, there's a great example of
432
00:24:25,931 --> 00:24:28,300
not embracing technology
433
00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:29,267
because that
434
00:24:29,267 --> 00:24:31,369
that there's never been a machine
435
00:24:31,369 --> 00:24:32,270
that's built it.
436
00:24:32,270 --> 00:24:33,472
There's never been a machine.
437
00:24:33,472 --> 00:24:34,306
No one will ever.
438
00:24:34,306 --> 00:24:36,441
I mean, I just. I'm right.
439
00:24:36,441 --> 00:24:38,009
No machine has ever come along
440
00:24:38,009 --> 00:24:38,944
better than a cabinet
441
00:24:38,944 --> 00:24:40,479
tailored to this day
442
00:24:40,479 --> 00:24:43,682
in that it was this is your, your,
443
00:24:43,782 --> 00:24:45,050
your hand,
444
00:24:45,050 --> 00:24:46,685
your hand, the mallet and
445
00:24:46,685 --> 00:24:48,220
and the stool you wrote across.
446
00:24:48,220 --> 00:24:50,021
You got sat down this cart
447
00:24:50,021 --> 00:24:50,922
and you fed nails
448
00:24:50,922 --> 00:24:52,290
into the top of the hopper
449
00:24:52,290 --> 00:24:53,124
and they came down
450
00:24:53,124 --> 00:24:54,693
and each one with a mallet.
451
00:24:54,693 --> 00:24:56,394
It was all done manually.
452
00:24:56,394 --> 00:24:57,629
And to this day there's
453
00:24:57,629 --> 00:24:58,630
never been a better machine,
454
00:25:00,365 --> 00:25:02,801
not even close
455
00:25:02,801 --> 00:25:05,637
that well, that's a that's an instance
456
00:25:05,637 --> 00:25:08,240
that's an instance where that technology
457
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,243
didn't really move forward.
458
00:25:14,012 --> 00:25:14,880
Yeah.
459
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,883
Yeah,
460
00:25:21,686 --> 00:25:24,689
yeah.
461
00:25:25,123 --> 00:25:28,093
Wow.
462
00:25:30,962 --> 00:25:31,663
Don't some.
463
00:25:31,663 --> 00:25:34,666
Yeah.
464
00:25:34,933 --> 00:25:35,634
Wow.
465
00:25:35,634 --> 00:25:38,637
Yeah,
466
00:25:39,371 --> 00:25:42,040
wow, wow.
467
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:43,542
Yeah, yeah. Look at me.
468
00:25:43,542 --> 00:25:45,677
Yeah, yeah.
469
00:25:45,677 --> 00:25:48,146
It.
470
00:25:48,146 --> 00:25:51,149
Yeah,
471
00:25:59,124 --> 00:26:00,592
yep,
472
00:26:00,592 --> 00:26:02,227
yep. No doubt about it.
473
00:26:02,227 --> 00:26:04,029
I mean, the user friendliness
474
00:26:04,029 --> 00:26:05,764
of cleaning out of the floor,
475
00:26:05,764 --> 00:26:07,132
not etching the boards.
476
00:26:07,132 --> 00:26:08,767
It's not your arm
477
00:26:08,767 --> 00:26:10,368
not falling up your shoulder.
478
00:26:10,368 --> 00:26:12,370
Talked about that a lot of times.
479
00:26:12,370 --> 00:26:14,539
No question. That is the future.
480
00:26:14,539 --> 00:26:15,607
There is no denying it.
481
00:26:15,607 --> 00:26:18,610
So Yeah,
482
00:26:21,012 --> 00:26:21,413
no, but
483
00:26:21,413 --> 00:26:24,416
I got some stuff
484
00:26:37,395 --> 00:26:37,963
and what it is.
485
00:26:37,963 --> 00:26:40,966
Yeah, yeah,
486
00:26:44,336 --> 00:26:47,339
yeah.
487
00:26:56,381 --> 00:26:59,384
You?
488
00:26:59,484 --> 00:27:02,487
Yeah,
489
00:27:06,257 --> 00:27:09,160
yeah,
490
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,163
yeah.
491
00:27:12,664 --> 00:27:14,232
Yep,
492
00:27:14,232 --> 00:27:17,202
yep.
493
00:27:23,341 --> 00:27:25,243
All these,
494
00:27:25,243 --> 00:27:25,844
all the,
495
00:27:25,844 --> 00:27:28,079
all these things you just mentioned,
496
00:27:28,079 --> 00:27:30,348
hard playing screens,
497
00:27:30,348 --> 00:27:31,850
all these different things
498
00:27:32,917 --> 00:27:34,486
that don't even exist anymore,
499
00:27:34,486 --> 00:27:35,420
man, your nails
500
00:27:35,420 --> 00:27:36,321
and all these type of things
501
00:27:36,321 --> 00:27:38,223
don't even exist anymore.
502
00:27:38,223 --> 00:27:40,625
My, the reason why I wanted you to
503
00:27:40,625 --> 00:27:43,628
say these things is that
504
00:27:44,829 --> 00:27:47,465
you resisted the change, right?
505
00:27:47,465 --> 00:27:47,666
And.
506
00:27:47,666 --> 00:27:48,433
But look, look
507
00:27:48,433 --> 00:27:49,567
how much easier
508
00:27:49,567 --> 00:27:50,602
that little bit of learning
509
00:27:50,602 --> 00:27:52,370
curve of learning new things
510
00:27:52,370 --> 00:27:54,272
made your life easier.
511
00:27:54,272 --> 00:27:56,908
And I would say the same thing.
512
00:27:56,908 --> 00:27:58,643
I'm just going to talk about a couple.
513
00:27:58,643 --> 00:27:59,277
I just.
514
00:27:59,277 --> 00:28:02,280
I just put down hand saying we thought,
515
00:28:02,514 --> 00:28:05,517
I'm sorry, go ahead.
516
00:28:05,684 --> 00:28:08,687
Yeah.
517
00:28:14,159 --> 00:28:14,859
Yeah.
518
00:28:14,859 --> 00:28:17,696
Well, I agree with that in myself.
519
00:28:17,696 --> 00:28:20,699
Yeah,
520
00:28:24,536 --> 00:28:27,372
yeah,
521
00:28:27,372 --> 00:28:29,541
yeah,
522
00:28:29,541 --> 00:28:32,544
yeah, yeah, I, I agree with that.
523
00:28:33,812 --> 00:28:34,212
I showed you
524
00:28:34,212 --> 00:28:37,215
how much my hand is falling up.
525
00:28:37,949 --> 00:28:40,952
Doesn't it look like my little guy?
526
00:28:40,985 --> 00:28:43,455
Does he look like my hand anymore?
527
00:28:43,455 --> 00:28:44,889
And I'm going to go to a bar,
528
00:28:44,889 --> 00:28:46,191
but just put my hand on the table.
529
00:28:48,226 --> 00:28:49,794
Yeah, it does.
530
00:28:49,794 --> 00:28:50,261
I just can put
531
00:28:50,261 --> 00:28:52,797
my hand on the table all night.
532
00:28:52,797 --> 00:28:54,132
Yeah.
533
00:28:54,132 --> 00:28:55,366
And then I'm just going to look it down.
534
00:28:55,366 --> 00:28:57,168
So Mad dog people like what
535
00:28:57,168 --> 00:28:59,003
they see this big hand
536
00:28:59,003 --> 00:29:00,972
woman in the hand on that dude.
537
00:29:00,972 --> 00:29:01,873
Meanwhile, they just.
538
00:29:01,873 --> 00:29:03,174
If they just took their finger flick
539
00:29:03,174 --> 00:29:06,177
my hand, I'd be doubled over in pain.
540
00:29:08,246 --> 00:29:09,814
I couldn't even think about it.
541
00:29:09,814 --> 00:29:10,749
All right, real quick.
542
00:29:10,749 --> 00:29:14,219
I mean, buffing arm stain is one
543
00:29:14,219 --> 00:29:15,787
that was a was a game change.
544
00:29:15,787 --> 00:29:17,622
I resisted for the longest time
545
00:29:17,622 --> 00:29:20,592
that I like it,
546
00:29:21,192 --> 00:29:21,693
man.
547
00:29:21,693 --> 00:29:23,495
That that that has to happen.
548
00:29:23,495 --> 00:29:24,596
But I'm not going to go into
549
00:29:24,596 --> 00:29:25,497
too many more over
550
00:29:25,497 --> 00:29:26,831
maybe even any more of them.
551
00:29:26,831 --> 00:29:27,899
But what I
552
00:29:27,899 --> 00:29:30,101
my thing about this is that,
553
00:29:30,101 --> 00:29:30,735
like I said,
554
00:29:32,937 --> 00:29:33,705
resisting going to
555
00:29:33,705 --> 00:29:34,472
schools like you talk
556
00:29:34,472 --> 00:29:35,840
about resisting training,
557
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,742
resisting some of these other techniques,
558
00:29:37,742 --> 00:29:38,943
resisting selling ingrained.
559
00:29:38,943 --> 00:29:39,310
Our goal,
560
00:29:39,310 --> 00:29:42,313
resisting all these other things is that
561
00:29:43,114 --> 00:29:45,550
when you finally got on board
562
00:29:45,550 --> 00:29:47,585
what it did to your career and how much
563
00:29:47,585 --> 00:29:48,453
how much it furthered
564
00:29:48,453 --> 00:29:50,321
your career and made life easier for you
565
00:29:50,321 --> 00:29:51,723
more than anything,
566
00:29:51,723 --> 00:29:53,291
it improves your efficiency
567
00:29:53,291 --> 00:29:54,726
in a lot of ways, right?
568
00:29:54,726 --> 00:29:57,729
I mean, a lot of the.
569
00:29:59,030 --> 00:30:02,033
Yeah,
570
00:30:03,201 --> 00:30:06,204
yeah, yeah,
571
00:30:07,639 --> 00:30:10,642
yeah.
572
00:30:18,283 --> 00:30:20,652
It could.
573
00:30:20,652 --> 00:30:22,020
It could have gave you a competitive
574
00:30:22,020 --> 00:30:23,288
edge, right?
575
00:30:23,288 --> 00:30:24,322
I mean, no question
576
00:30:24,322 --> 00:30:25,623
that a lot of these things
577
00:30:25,623 --> 00:30:26,491
for your customers
578
00:30:26,491 --> 00:30:28,426
would enhance their experiences.
579
00:30:28,426 --> 00:30:30,428
You know how many times
580
00:30:30,428 --> 00:30:31,229
you have a desk and same
581
00:30:31,229 --> 00:30:32,497
and stuff like that
582
00:30:32,497 --> 00:30:34,098
opening up to new markets.
583
00:30:34,098 --> 00:30:34,499
I mean
584
00:30:34,499 --> 00:30:35,466
you're the one that
585
00:30:35,466 --> 00:30:36,734
first talked about a lot about that
586
00:30:36,734 --> 00:30:38,369
as the first one through the door,
587
00:30:38,369 --> 00:30:39,537
the first one that that
588
00:30:39,537 --> 00:30:41,973
that that starts using the new technology
589
00:30:41,973 --> 00:30:43,374
and this type of thing.
590
00:30:43,374 --> 00:30:45,043
It's a great sales tool.
591
00:30:45,043 --> 00:30:47,412
So I think some
592
00:30:47,412 --> 00:30:49,047
of those are important and
593
00:31:00,792 --> 00:31:03,761
yeah
594
00:31:04,629 --> 00:31:07,632
yeah yeah
595
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,203
yeah,
596
00:31:13,738 --> 00:31:16,741
yeah.
597
00:31:17,141 --> 00:31:17,976
We talked about
598
00:31:17,976 --> 00:31:20,778
we talked about on the last show
599
00:31:20,778 --> 00:31:21,746
with the power drive,
600
00:31:21,746 --> 00:31:22,914
being able to retain
601
00:31:22,914 --> 00:31:25,917
and attract new talent is a big deal
602
00:31:26,150 --> 00:31:27,585
and I don't think
603
00:31:27,585 --> 00:31:29,354
it's a small, small thing either.
604
00:31:29,354 --> 00:31:30,822
I think it's a really big deal.
605
00:31:30,822 --> 00:31:31,456
Like you said,
606
00:31:31,456 --> 00:31:32,523
we got to get a guy behind
607
00:31:32,523 --> 00:31:33,791
that all day versus getting out.
608
00:31:33,791 --> 00:31:36,094
Game on the machine manager all day.
609
00:31:36,094 --> 00:31:37,495
You know what his experience is like,
610
00:31:37,495 --> 00:31:38,696
You know what I mean?
611
00:31:38,696 --> 00:31:40,265
So and future
612
00:31:40,265 --> 00:31:42,033
proofing your business, too,
613
00:31:42,033 --> 00:31:43,001
with some of the new products
614
00:31:43,001 --> 00:31:43,701
that are out there.
615
00:31:43,701 --> 00:31:46,704
Yeah, I think those are those reasons to
616
00:31:46,771 --> 00:31:48,773
because I you know,
617
00:31:48,773 --> 00:31:49,941
I always use my two brothers
618
00:31:49,941 --> 00:31:50,642
as an example.
619
00:31:50,642 --> 00:31:52,577
If I want to change
620
00:31:52,577 --> 00:31:53,411
one of my brothers like.
621
00:31:53,411 --> 00:31:54,112
All right, well, let's
622
00:31:54,112 --> 00:31:55,346
you know, let me start there tomorrow.
623
00:31:55,346 --> 00:31:56,247
I cool
624
00:31:56,247 --> 00:31:57,849
the other one would would just
625
00:31:57,849 --> 00:31:59,050
fight tooth and nail
626
00:31:59,050 --> 00:32:00,551
why are we do we did it this way forever.
627
00:32:00,551 --> 00:32:01,619
And he's a good mechanic
628
00:32:01,619 --> 00:32:03,254
so I'm not bagging on him,
629
00:32:03,254 --> 00:32:05,356
but it's a mindset.
630
00:32:05,356 --> 00:32:05,790
It is.
631
00:32:05,790 --> 00:32:06,157
Life is
632
00:32:06,157 --> 00:32:06,925
so much easier
633
00:32:06,925 --> 00:32:07,692
once you you know,
634
00:32:07,692 --> 00:32:08,793
kind of kind of
635
00:32:08,793 --> 00:32:10,094
got to embrace
636
00:32:10,094 --> 00:32:10,995
some of this technology
637
00:32:10,995 --> 00:32:13,631
in schools and stuff like that out there.
638
00:32:13,631 --> 00:32:15,166
So I don't know.
639
00:32:32,684 --> 00:32:35,687
Yeah,
640
00:32:44,896 --> 00:32:47,899
yeah,
641
00:32:53,271 --> 00:32:56,274
yeah,
642
00:32:59,310 --> 00:33:00,511
yeah.
643
00:33:00,511 --> 00:33:03,514
Well,
644
00:33:11,255 --> 00:33:14,258
yeah, yeah,
645
00:33:19,597 --> 00:33:21,733
yeah.
646
00:33:21,733 --> 00:33:23,801
Yep,
647
00:33:23,801 --> 00:33:26,304
yep,
648
00:33:26,304 --> 00:33:27,205
yeah.
649
00:33:27,205 --> 00:33:28,473
No question.
650
00:33:28,473 --> 00:33:31,142
I think also if you took like
651
00:33:31,142 --> 00:33:32,443
one or two areas
652
00:33:32,443 --> 00:33:34,278
that might be able to help your business
653
00:33:34,278 --> 00:33:36,114
and can
654
00:33:36,114 --> 00:33:37,815
that you're struggling with or whatever.
655
00:33:37,815 --> 00:33:39,550
So yeah I can technology
656
00:33:39,550 --> 00:33:41,319
help me in this in these areas
657
00:33:41,319 --> 00:33:42,587
that I'm struggling with
658
00:33:42,587 --> 00:33:45,556
and a lot of that is man
659
00:33:45,556 --> 00:33:48,126
you know computers the iPhone
660
00:33:48,126 --> 00:33:49,093
using it for work
661
00:33:49,093 --> 00:33:51,362
the new apps that are on there
662
00:33:51,362 --> 00:33:53,998
the phone is a tool now
663
00:33:53,998 --> 00:33:55,299
and it can be a lot of other things.
664
00:33:55,299 --> 00:33:56,701
It can be distractions and what have you.
665
00:33:56,701 --> 00:33:58,903
But that with iCloud with with,
666
00:33:58,903 --> 00:34:00,038
you know,
667
00:34:00,038 --> 00:34:00,638
putting pictures
668
00:34:00,638 --> 00:34:01,406
up into the cloud
669
00:34:01,406 --> 00:34:02,707
to protect yourself
670
00:34:02,707 --> 00:34:04,742
from from potential problems.
671
00:34:04,742 --> 00:34:05,643
The road
672
00:34:05,643 --> 00:34:06,310
someone says, hey,
673
00:34:06,310 --> 00:34:08,112
you damage my door or whatever.
674
00:34:08,112 --> 00:34:08,980
I mean, there's a lot
675
00:34:08,980 --> 00:34:11,282
of this new technology, man today.
676
00:34:11,282 --> 00:34:11,749
You know,
677
00:34:11,749 --> 00:34:13,618
the game is hard today
678
00:34:13,618 --> 00:34:14,452
for a lot of reasons.
679
00:34:14,452 --> 00:34:15,286
You know, you know,
680
00:34:15,286 --> 00:34:16,721
we always talk about.
681
00:34:16,721 --> 00:34:19,223
But I think embracing some of these
682
00:34:20,491 --> 00:34:22,427
really can can make
683
00:34:22,427 --> 00:34:25,430
your life so much easier for sure.
684
00:34:27,265 --> 00:34:27,665
Yeah.
685
00:34:27,665 --> 00:34:28,499
You know, the other thing
686
00:34:28,499 --> 00:34:30,134
it does it kind of makes you a pioneer.
687
00:34:30,134 --> 00:34:30,701
And,
688
00:34:30,701 --> 00:34:32,470
you know, we talk to a lot of like
689
00:34:32,470 --> 00:34:34,572
we have Matt Garcia on phone
690
00:34:34,572 --> 00:34:35,940
on the on the podcast.
691
00:34:35,940 --> 00:34:38,142
We had Josh Hanson on on the podcast,
692
00:34:38,142 --> 00:34:39,310
which I think a lot of guys,
693
00:34:39,310 --> 00:34:41,279
these guys are pioneers in a lot of ways.
694
00:34:41,279 --> 00:34:42,880
And look what it does for
695
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,348
in that regard too.
696
00:34:44,348 --> 00:34:45,750
You know, it gets your name out there,
697
00:34:45,750 --> 00:34:47,452
you become the go to guy
698
00:34:47,452 --> 00:34:48,786
and there's a lot to be said
699
00:34:48,786 --> 00:34:49,854
for that too.
700
00:34:49,854 --> 00:34:51,923
And there's nothing like you said before,
701
00:34:51,923 --> 00:34:53,558
I got a guy,
702
00:34:53,558 --> 00:34:55,393
I got a guy who knows how to do that.
703
00:34:55,393 --> 00:34:58,062
What you did, what your distributors,
704
00:34:58,062 --> 00:35:00,298
your distributors realize you're that guy
705
00:35:00,298 --> 00:35:01,199
there, they've come and,
706
00:35:01,199 --> 00:35:01,899
you know, a distributor
707
00:35:01,899 --> 00:35:04,302
needs to sell their products to and,
708
00:35:04,302 --> 00:35:06,204
you know, bringing new products in.
709
00:35:06,204 --> 00:35:06,904
And you're the guy
710
00:35:06,904 --> 00:35:07,472
that's out there
711
00:35:07,472 --> 00:35:08,206
using the products
712
00:35:08,206 --> 00:35:09,073
and giving them feedback
713
00:35:09,073 --> 00:35:10,842
and everything is,
714
00:35:12,276 --> 00:35:13,044
you know,
715
00:35:13,044 --> 00:35:15,713
it can add a lot to your career as well.
716
00:35:15,713 --> 00:35:17,548
All right, Rob, I appreciate it.
717
00:35:17,548 --> 00:35:21,619
You you brought some good examples.
718
00:35:21,619 --> 00:35:22,887
I'm proud of you.
719
00:35:22,887 --> 00:35:24,355
I was going to go a little bit,
720
00:35:24,355 --> 00:35:25,490
but I saw you were on a roll.
721
00:35:25,490 --> 00:35:28,493
So.
722
00:35:31,429 --> 00:35:33,431
Well, you know what?
723
00:35:33,431 --> 00:35:35,333
Here's why You shouldn't be.
724
00:35:35,333 --> 00:35:36,534
50 years, brother.
725
00:35:36,534 --> 00:35:38,236
50 years history,
726
00:35:38,236 --> 00:35:39,837
all the things that you've seen
727
00:35:39,837 --> 00:35:41,706
and where technology is today
728
00:35:41,706 --> 00:35:43,107
from where it was there.
729
00:35:43,107 --> 00:35:43,875
In many ways,
730
00:35:43,875 --> 00:35:45,843
you say these things about yourself,
731
00:35:45,843 --> 00:35:48,646
but you're pioneer to
732
00:35:48,646 --> 00:35:50,248
in a lot of ways with the training
733
00:35:50,248 --> 00:35:50,648
and stuff
734
00:35:50,648 --> 00:35:52,250
that you've gone through and done.
735
00:35:52,250 --> 00:35:53,518
You are also a pioneer
736
00:35:53,518 --> 00:35:55,119
in training more than anything.
737
00:35:55,119 --> 00:35:56,721
You know, I'll tell you a reason why,
738
00:35:56,721 --> 00:35:57,889
because when you train.
739
00:35:57,889 --> 00:35:59,390
You're not just say
740
00:35:59,390 --> 00:35:59,757
some guy
741
00:35:59,757 --> 00:36:01,459
reading something out of a manual
742
00:36:01,459 --> 00:36:02,994
and I'm a corporate stooge,
743
00:36:02,994 --> 00:36:04,729
as you always call me,
744
00:36:04,729 --> 00:36:06,264
you rat and bastard.
745
00:36:06,264 --> 00:36:08,132
But it's from the heart.
746
00:36:08,132 --> 00:36:09,433
It's from experience
747
00:36:09,433 --> 00:36:11,068
is for your love of the trade.
748
00:36:11,068 --> 00:36:12,103
And you, you.
749
00:36:12,103 --> 00:36:13,971
You bring it as real as it gets.
750
00:36:13,971 --> 00:36:15,673
You're a regular guy.
751
00:36:15,673 --> 00:36:18,676
Simple guy that a particularly smart guy.
752
00:36:21,846 --> 00:36:22,947
I'm kidding.
753
00:36:22,947 --> 00:36:25,550
Sorry. The.
754
00:36:25,550 --> 00:36:27,118
It was kind of a back ended.
755
00:36:27,118 --> 00:36:29,020
A no,
756
00:36:29,020 --> 00:36:30,955
no, no.
757
00:36:30,955 --> 00:36:32,757
But no.
758
00:36:32,757 --> 00:36:35,059
You know what I mean by that too.
759
00:36:35,059 --> 00:36:37,195
Know, you do a fantastic job.
760
00:36:37,195 --> 00:36:40,198
Well, listen, I got to say, man, we
761
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:43,334
you you've
762
00:36:43,334 --> 00:36:46,337
you do look like a kid.
763
00:36:46,704 --> 00:36:48,506
Crazy whacked out kid.
764
00:36:48,506 --> 00:36:51,509
But kidneys, the less.
765
00:36:53,211 --> 00:36:55,046
But
766
00:36:55,046 --> 00:36:56,180
you've lived your market
767
00:36:56,180 --> 00:36:57,682
on this industry.
768
00:36:57,682 --> 00:36:58,683
I mean, you know,
769
00:36:58,683 --> 00:37:01,152
you think about the amount of people you
770
00:37:01,152 --> 00:37:02,453
over the years.
771
00:37:02,453 --> 00:37:05,156
It's got to be thousands, right?
772
00:37:05,156 --> 00:37:08,159
It's easily thousands.
773
00:37:11,028 --> 00:37:11,495
Yeah.
774
00:37:11,495 --> 00:37:12,196
So. Okay.
775
00:37:12,196 --> 00:37:12,563
All right.
776
00:37:12,563 --> 00:37:13,998
So you've been years
777
00:37:13,998 --> 00:37:17,001
and years in training and this.
778
00:37:19,937 --> 00:37:21,005
Well, that's a different
779
00:37:21,005 --> 00:37:23,140
different situation. Yeah. Yeah.
780
00:37:23,140 --> 00:37:23,608
You get.
781
00:37:23,608 --> 00:37:24,875
You take the boy out of the jungle.
782
00:37:24,875 --> 00:37:25,276
We can't.
783
00:37:25,276 --> 00:37:27,011
A jungle out of the boy.
784
00:37:27,011 --> 00:37:29,447
So.
785
00:37:29,447 --> 00:37:30,815
But if you look at all
786
00:37:30,815 --> 00:37:31,916
the people you have trained
787
00:37:31,916 --> 00:37:32,516
over the years
788
00:37:32,516 --> 00:37:33,484
in this industry, man,
789
00:37:33,484 --> 00:37:34,552
and you left your mark
790
00:37:34,552 --> 00:37:36,587
on this industry and your, your
791
00:37:36,587 --> 00:37:37,521
and your love for this
792
00:37:37,521 --> 00:37:39,423
industry is second to none, man.
793
00:37:39,423 --> 00:37:39,790
So.
794
00:37:39,790 --> 00:37:41,259
So, yeah,
795
00:37:41,259 --> 00:37:42,827
you are a pioneer in a lot of ways, too.
796
00:37:42,827 --> 00:37:44,028
So don't sell yourself short.
797
00:37:44,962 --> 00:37:47,965
All right,
798
00:38:11,622 --> 00:38:13,124
then.
799
00:38:13,124 --> 00:38:16,127
And
800
00:38:28,806 --> 00:38:31,809
all right,
801
00:38:33,277 --> 00:38:36,280
well,
802
00:38:45,923 --> 00:38:48,926

803
00:38:56,901 --> 00:38:58,969
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
804
00:38:58,969 --> 00:39:01,939
Okay.
805
00:39:02,907 --> 00:39:04,241
Yeah, yeah.
806
00:39:04,241 --> 00:39:06,711
Well, well,
807
00:39:06,711 --> 00:39:07,745
they're
808
00:39:07,745 --> 00:39:09,347
the reason you can get away with it
809
00:39:09,347 --> 00:39:11,382
is that at heart,
810
00:39:11,382 --> 00:39:14,118
you got a heart of gold, brother, so.
811
00:39:14,118 --> 00:39:16,620

Pretty soon we're going to be hugging.

00:39:20,958 --> 00:39:22,460
Let's get out of here.
