Episode Transcription

1

00:00:09,876 --> 00:00:10,243

Hello

 

2

00:00:10,243 --> 00:00:11,578

and welcome to another episode

 

3

00:00:11,578 --> 00:00:13,346

of On the Floor with Wayne and Rob.

 

4

00:00:13,346 --> 00:00:14,547

I'm Wayne Highlander.

 

5

00:00:14,547 --> 00:00:18,151

National Sales manager for Mona Lisa.

 

6

00:00:18,218 --> 00:00:19,452

And I'm Rob Johnson.

 

7

00:00:19,452 --> 00:00:23,623

Sorry, I was way off.

 

8

00:00:23,723 --> 00:00:26,092

And I'm Rob Johnson from Boner Training.

 

9

00:00:26,092 --> 00:00:29,429

Sorry I was yawning during your.

 

10

00:00:29,496 --> 00:00:31,498

I was up late last night.

 

11

00:00:31,498 --> 00:00:33,833

You were? Yeah.

 

12

00:00:33,833 --> 00:00:35,235

Getting into trouble?

 

13

00:00:35,235 --> 00:00:36,269

No, no.

 

14

00:00:36,269 --> 00:00:39,272

I made Pauline a new cabinet, and

 

15

00:00:39,472 --> 00:00:42,142

I was using a little

 

16

00:00:42,142 --> 00:00:45,145

bone, a dry, fast bark stain.

 

17

00:00:45,311 --> 00:00:46,679

Okay.

 

18

00:00:46,679 --> 00:00:48,014

Yeah. Nice. Nice, nice.

 

19

00:00:48,014 --> 00:00:49,649

Very good.

 

20

00:00:49,649 --> 00:00:51,918

Well, Rob,

 

21

00:00:51,918 --> 00:00:54,687

it's play by play time.

 

22

00:00:54,687 --> 00:00:57,590

And we go again,

 

23

00:00:57,590 --> 00:00:58,858

Let's see if we can get this right.

 

24

00:00:58,858 --> 00:00:59,993

I think both of us know that

 

25

00:00:59,993 --> 00:01:00,794

we're one step away

 

26

00:01:00,794 --> 00:01:03,797

from being Wal-Mart greeters.

 

27

00:01:03,863 --> 00:01:06,299

So

 

28

00:01:06,299 --> 00:01:08,168

let's do a play by play.

 

29

00:01:08,168 --> 00:01:09,736

Last. I know all.

 

30

00:01:09,736 --> 00:01:11,938

All work is honorable, you know?

 

31

00:01:11,938 --> 00:01:14,707

Even if you are the greeter at Wal-Mart,

 

32

00:01:14,707 --> 00:01:16,109

100%.

 

33

00:01:16,109 --> 00:01:16,976

They're getting up

 

34

00:01:16,976 --> 00:01:18,278

and going to work, man.

 

35

00:01:18,278 --> 00:01:20,213

That's all that matters.

 

36

00:01:20,213 --> 00:01:24,617

I could not. Speaking of going to work.

 

37

00:01:24,717 --> 00:01:26,586

We put the band back together, baby.

 

38

00:01:26,586 --> 00:01:28,855

We're about to hit the road.

 

39

00:01:28,855 --> 00:01:30,156

I hear the class.

 

40

00:01:30,156 --> 00:01:31,057

Dee Dee

 

41

00:01:31,057 --> 00:01:32,192

did a school last week

 

42

00:01:32,192 --> 00:01:36,429

back to back schools in Texas.

 

43

00:01:36,496 --> 00:01:38,832

Yeah. In Texas.

 

44

00:01:38,832 --> 00:01:41,468

Down there with our man, Jason Owen.

 

45

00:01:41,468 --> 00:01:43,470

I hit the road next week,

 

46

00:01:43,470 --> 00:01:46,239

heading out to Marietta.

 

47

00:01:46,239 --> 00:01:49,109

See the great folks down in Atlanta.

 

48

00:01:49,109 --> 00:01:50,677

And we are back, baby.

 

49

00:01:50,677 --> 00:01:51,711

We're doing a lot of back

 

50

00:01:51,711 --> 00:01:54,881

to back schools this year to where we're

 

51

00:01:54,981 --> 00:01:56,449

so we can accommodate

 

52

00:01:56,449 --> 00:01:56,983

everybody

 

53

00:01:56,983 --> 00:01:58,485

that might have missed out on schools

 

54

00:01:58,485 --> 00:01:59,919

last year.

 

55

00:01:59,919 --> 00:02:02,622

And because of the smaller class sizes,

 

56

00:02:02,622 --> 00:02:03,590

because of the COVID

 

57

00:02:03,590 --> 00:02:07,594

and everything we're doing,

 

58

00:02:07,660 --> 00:02:09,896

we're doing like a monday, Tuesday,

 

59

00:02:09,896 --> 00:02:11,397

Wednesday school

 

60

00:02:11,397 --> 00:02:13,700

and then a Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

 

61

00:02:13,700 --> 00:02:15,535

So we're doing back to back

 

62

00:02:15,535 --> 00:02:16,669

in the same town.

 

63

00:02:16,669 --> 00:02:19,105

So like I said, we can

 

64

00:02:19,105 --> 00:02:20,907

get everybody trained who needs

 

65

00:02:20,907 --> 00:02:22,208

who wants to be trained.

 

66

00:02:22,208 --> 00:02:26,045

And so we are just pumped up and

 

67

00:02:26,112 --> 00:02:27,847

ready to go.

 

68

00:02:27,914 --> 00:02:28,748

I saw

 

69

00:02:28,748 --> 00:02:30,049

a picture of,

 

70

00:02:30,049 --> 00:02:31,751

I guess one of the guys on Indy's

 

71

00:02:31,751 --> 00:02:32,919

class there in Texas.

 

72

00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,487

Did a pretty cool design

 

73

00:02:34,487 --> 00:02:36,556

with the water popping the floor.

 

74

00:02:36,556 --> 00:02:37,557

It's amazing what you can do.

 

75

00:02:37,557 --> 00:02:39,025

Just one simple thing,

 

76

00:02:39,025 --> 00:02:40,527

you know, just water pop in the floor.

 

77

00:02:40,527 --> 00:02:42,262

You know,

 

78

00:02:42,262 --> 00:02:43,830

sometimes we used to do a you know what?

 

79

00:02:43,830 --> 00:02:44,264

You know what I mean

 

80

00:02:44,264 --> 00:02:47,267

by soldiers in a row border?

 

81

00:02:47,367 --> 00:02:48,067

And just water.

 

82

00:02:48,067 --> 00:02:49,035

Pop the border.

 

83

00:02:49,035 --> 00:02:49,502

That's all.

 

84

00:02:49,502 --> 00:02:50,370

Just. Just changed.

 

85

00:02:50,370 --> 00:02:51,538

Nothing other than us

 

86

00:02:51,538 --> 00:02:53,273

soldiers in a row border.

 

87

00:02:53,273 --> 00:02:54,541

Same stain.

 

88

00:02:54,541 --> 00:02:55,575

Just water. Pop the border.

 

89

00:02:55,575 --> 00:02:57,343

No water. Pop the field.

 

90

00:02:57,343 --> 00:02:58,811

And it's so simple,

 

91

00:02:58,811 --> 00:03:00,013

but very dramatic looking.

 

92

00:03:00,013 --> 00:03:01,080

I love that border, by the way.

 

93

00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:01,581

I used to get.

 

94

00:03:01,581 --> 00:03:02,282

I got tired of doing

 

95

00:03:02,282 --> 00:03:03,016

the other type of border.

 

96

00:03:03,016 --> 00:03:04,317

We did so many of them.

 

97

00:03:04,317 --> 00:03:05,985

So it's a nice change up

 

98

00:03:05,985 --> 00:03:06,953

to do that type of border.

 

99

00:03:06,953 --> 00:03:08,688

And plus, have you got a lot of

 

100

00:03:08,688 --> 00:03:11,424

leftover shorts?

 

101

00:03:11,491 --> 00:03:12,859

Great way to use them up.

 

102

00:03:12,859 --> 00:03:14,727

And I think it's just a really cool,

 

103

00:03:14,727 --> 00:03:16,863

timeless look.

 

104

00:03:16,863 --> 00:03:18,331

I hate it.

 

105

00:03:18,331 --> 00:03:19,532

Do you really?

 

106

00:03:19,532 --> 00:03:22,135

Yeah, I do. Yes.

 

107

00:03:22,135 --> 00:03:23,937

As soon as you start talking about it,

 

108

00:03:23,937 --> 00:03:24,537

I was like,

 

109

00:03:24,537 --> 00:03:26,940

my God, don't ever hate that one.

 

110

00:03:26,940 --> 00:03:27,874

Really? That is.

 

111

00:03:27,874 --> 00:03:28,141

Yeah.

 

112

00:03:28,141 --> 00:03:28,741

Well, of course

 

113

00:03:28,741 --> 00:03:29,909

you love it, and I hate it.

 

114

00:03:29,909 --> 00:03:32,979

I mean, East, West, it.

 

115

00:03:33,012 --> 00:03:34,681

It never ends, does it?

 

116

00:03:34,681 --> 00:03:37,183

It just never ends. You know something?

 

117

00:03:37,183 --> 00:03:38,851

This is going to make you feel bad.

 

118

00:03:38,851 --> 00:03:40,653

I've got that in my house.

 

119

00:03:40,653 --> 00:03:41,688

Okay.

 

120

00:03:41,688 --> 00:03:43,156

I soldiers in a row border.

 

121

00:03:43,156 --> 00:03:44,424

I mean, that's.

 

122

00:03:44,424 --> 00:03:47,827

Did you do it or was it already there?

 

123

00:03:47,894 --> 00:03:48,328

No.

 

124

00:03:48,328 --> 00:03:50,129

I installed all the flaws in the house

 

125

00:03:50,129 --> 00:03:51,531

and the reason why I did it in my house.

 

126

00:03:51,531 --> 00:03:52,732

Rob,

 

127

00:03:52,799 --> 00:03:54,567

I really wasn't initially going

 

128

00:03:54,567 --> 00:03:55,602

to put one in,

 

129

00:03:55,602 --> 00:03:58,504

but it's an old antique house.

 

130

00:03:58,504 --> 00:04:01,507

And from the parallel walls are like

 

131

00:04:01,741 --> 00:04:03,009

two and a half inches off

 

132

00:04:03,009 --> 00:04:04,777

from one side of the room to the other.

 

133

00:04:04,777 --> 00:04:05,945

So I need a border.

 

134

00:04:05,945 --> 00:04:07,113

Okay. All right.

 

135

00:04:07,113 --> 00:04:07,580

You know what I mean?

 

136

00:04:07,580 --> 00:04:10,116

So did you keep this in the field?

 

137

00:04:10,116 --> 00:04:10,850

You know where I want

 

138

00:04:10,850 --> 00:04:11,884

it lined up and everything?

 

139

00:04:11,884 --> 00:04:12,819

I could disguise it

 

140

00:04:12,819 --> 00:04:14,420

in the in the soldiers. In a real war.

 

141

00:04:14,420 --> 00:04:16,122

You don't see it in there as much

 

142

00:04:16,122 --> 00:04:18,224

and you don't see it, so.

 

143

00:04:18,224 --> 00:04:20,460

So there

 

144

00:04:20,460 --> 00:04:22,328

you take that once again.

 

145

00:04:22,328 --> 00:04:24,130

Yeah, Once again.

 

146

00:04:24,130 --> 00:04:24,764

Yeah.

 

147

00:04:24,764 --> 00:04:26,966

No, don't feel bad.

 

148

00:04:26,966 --> 00:04:28,968

All right, we're going to do.

 

149

00:04:28,968 --> 00:04:30,803

So you were when you were laying that

 

150

00:04:30,803 --> 00:04:33,172

when you were laying that border, did you

 

151

00:04:33,172 --> 00:04:34,307

you have a little play by play

 

152

00:04:34,307 --> 00:04:35,842

going in your head.

 

153

00:04:35,842 --> 00:04:36,809

You're working alone.

 

154

00:04:36,809 --> 00:04:39,178

Does Jeremiah come out or you work alone?

 

155

00:04:39,178 --> 00:04:42,682

I know I did this by myself.

 

156

00:04:42,749 --> 00:04:44,217

No, I did not.

 

157

00:04:44,217 --> 00:04:45,018

I had a really

 

158

00:04:45,018 --> 00:04:49,389

good young young guy, Valera

 

159

00:04:49,489 --> 00:04:50,023

was a hard day

 

160

00:04:50,023 --> 00:04:51,257

to pronounce his last name,

 

161

00:04:51,257 --> 00:04:52,892

Temecula, Temecula

 

162

00:04:52,892 --> 00:04:53,626

or something like that.

 

163

00:04:53,626 --> 00:04:54,961

But super good guy, man.

 

164

00:04:54,961 --> 00:04:55,795

Real good floor guy.

 

165

00:04:55,795 --> 00:04:57,397

He helped me install it, so.

 

166

00:04:57,397 --> 00:04:58,865

And finish it

 

167

00:04:58,865 --> 00:05:01,868

and finish it to this several years ago.

 

168

00:05:01,968 --> 00:05:04,170

But

 

169

00:05:04,170 --> 00:05:05,538

no, I don't have the play by play

 

170

00:05:05,538 --> 00:05:06,205

in my head anymore

 

171

00:05:06,205 --> 00:05:08,041

because I'm you know,

 

172

00:05:08,041 --> 00:05:08,608

you do that

 

173

00:05:08,608 --> 00:05:09,275

when you're in your prime

 

174

00:05:09,275 --> 00:05:09,976

of your life, man.

 

175

00:05:09,976 --> 00:05:10,710

You're in your zone

 

176

00:05:10,710 --> 00:05:11,678

and you're in your game.

 

177

00:05:11,678 --> 00:05:12,445

But now when you're

 

178

00:05:12,445 --> 00:05:13,813

when you're old, it'll be like, now

 

179

00:05:13,813 --> 00:05:15,515

watching a major history show with a guy,

 

180

00:05:15,515 --> 00:05:16,849

your average dying.

 

181

00:05:16,849 --> 00:05:17,917

It takes like three days

 

182

00:05:17,917 --> 00:05:20,787

to completely die.

 

183

00:05:20,787 --> 00:05:21,988

You're watching those kids when you're

 

184

00:05:21,988 --> 00:05:24,590

I remember when I was a little kid

 

185

00:05:24,657 --> 00:05:25,725

watching, and I don't

 

186

00:05:25,725 --> 00:05:26,759

know why they would do this

 

187

00:05:26,759 --> 00:05:28,895

and I think is a third grade in Colorado

 

188

00:05:28,895 --> 00:05:30,630

as a military school.

 

189

00:05:30,630 --> 00:05:32,398

And they

 

190

00:05:32,398 --> 00:05:35,301

the teacher wheeled in the television

 

191

00:05:35,301 --> 00:05:36,102

and she showed us

 

192

00:05:36,102 --> 00:05:37,437

the kids in Africa

 

193

00:05:37,437 --> 00:05:40,073

like dying of starvation.

 

194

00:05:40,073 --> 00:05:40,907

I mean, you know what I mean?

 

195

00:05:40,907 --> 00:05:41,607

Why would you show that?

 

196

00:05:41,607 --> 00:05:42,875

You go, They're great gifts.

 

197

00:05:42,875 --> 00:05:45,878

Anyhow, I started crying

 

198

00:05:46,012 --> 00:05:48,014

because I got like a hunger pain.

 

199

00:05:48,014 --> 00:05:49,382

I'm not making this up, man.

 

200

00:05:49,382 --> 00:05:50,083

I started like

 

201

00:05:50,083 --> 00:05:51,684

then I started thinking, well, I can end.

 

202

00:05:51,684 --> 00:05:52,318

You just die.

 

203

00:05:52,318 --> 00:05:53,553

All of a sudden, there's starvation.

 

204

00:05:53,553 --> 00:05:54,954

You know what I mean?

 

205

00:05:54,954 --> 00:05:56,356

I mean, I didn't realize it.

 

206

00:05:56,356 --> 00:05:57,457

The days and whatever.

 

207

00:05:57,457 --> 00:05:58,558

I just start feeling hungry.

 

208

00:05:58,558 --> 00:05:59,459

And I started this little girl

 

209

00:05:59,459 --> 00:06:01,627

next me said me so and so.

 

210

00:06:01,627 --> 00:06:02,895

He's crying.

 

211

00:06:02,895 --> 00:06:04,163

So he took me out and she goes,

 

212

00:06:04,163 --> 00:06:04,831

What's the matter, honey?

 

213

00:06:04,831 --> 00:06:06,599

I said, I'm hungry.

 

214

00:06:06,599 --> 00:06:09,001

You call my mom and

 

215

00:06:09,068 --> 00:06:10,370

mom.

 

216

00:06:10,370 --> 00:06:12,672

My mom took that personal.

 

217

00:06:12,672 --> 00:06:14,374

I was already wearing size husky pants.

 

218

00:06:14,374 --> 00:06:15,808

So I think that was her evidence

 

219

00:06:15,808 --> 00:06:18,811

that I really wasn't being abused.

 

220

00:06:18,878 --> 00:06:20,646

So anyhow,

 

221

00:06:20,646 --> 00:06:20,980

you know.

 

222

00:06:20,980 --> 00:06:23,383

You know. Yes. See that anymore?

 

223

00:06:23,383 --> 00:06:25,017

Well, you don't see that anymore.

 

224

00:06:25,017 --> 00:06:28,321

And in the clothing stores I see.

 

225

00:06:28,388 --> 00:06:29,655

You remember the big sign?

 

226

00:06:29,655 --> 00:06:30,957

Yeah. I used to have a big sign.

 

227

00:06:30,957 --> 00:06:33,126

Husky voice department.

 

228

00:06:33,126 --> 00:06:34,360

You had the boys department

 

229

00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,796

and then the Husky department.

 

230

00:06:36,796 --> 00:06:37,463

Yeah,

 

231

00:06:37,463 --> 00:06:40,867

I think it probably a lawsuit nowadays.

 

232

00:06:40,967 --> 00:06:43,035

Yeah, I can tell you was traumatic for me

 

233

00:06:43,035 --> 00:06:44,337

and my three skinny brothers.

 

234

00:06:44,337 --> 00:06:45,571

Never let me hear the end of it.

 

235

00:06:45,571 --> 00:06:46,439

Hey, Husky,

 

236

00:06:46,439 --> 00:06:47,407

you got to go out with us today.

 

237

00:06:47,407 --> 00:06:49,976

Yeah, Come on, let's go.

 

238

00:06:49,976 --> 00:06:51,244

yeah.

 

239

00:06:51,244 --> 00:06:52,211

So you were the.

 

240

00:06:52,211 --> 00:06:56,282

You were the big brother, Yeah. Yeah.

 

241

00:06:56,349 --> 00:06:56,949

Not the oldest,

 

242

00:06:56,949 --> 00:07:00,219

but the biggest

 

243

00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:03,489

in girth.

 

244

00:07:03,556 --> 00:07:04,757

But no,

 

245

00:07:04,757 --> 00:07:07,427

we're the most powerful

 

246

00:07:07,427 --> 00:07:09,128

that

 

247

00:07:09,128 --> 00:07:09,962

not pound for pound.

 

248

00:07:09,962 --> 00:07:12,498

I can't even claim that.

 

249

00:07:12,498 --> 00:07:14,100

But

 

250

00:07:14,100 --> 00:07:15,802

I didn't have a play by play in my head

 

251

00:07:15,802 --> 00:07:17,103

was always installing my flaws

 

252

00:07:17,103 --> 00:07:19,105

because the game is pass me by, man.

 

253

00:07:19,105 --> 00:07:19,639

I'm not.

 

254

00:07:19,639 --> 00:07:21,140

I'm not fast anymore.

 

255

00:07:21,140 --> 00:07:22,175

I'm slow

 

256

00:07:22,175 --> 00:07:24,076

and I don't do it hardly anymore.

 

257

00:07:24,076 --> 00:07:28,014

So but we did a play by play

 

258

00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:32,118

in around the holidays last year of guys

 

259

00:07:32,118 --> 00:07:33,519

installing a floor,

 

260

00:07:33,519 --> 00:07:34,887

and I think it probably wasn't

 

261

00:07:34,887 --> 00:07:35,588

listened to very much

 

262

00:07:35,588 --> 00:07:36,622

because it's around the holidays.

 

263

00:07:36,622 --> 00:07:37,957

I don't know.

 

264

00:07:37,957 --> 00:07:40,059

No, they were sanding the floors.

 

265

00:07:40,059 --> 00:07:40,493

That's right.

 

266

00:07:40,493 --> 00:07:41,294

You were standing on the floor?

 

267

00:07:41,294 --> 00:07:43,262

Yeah, they were sanding the floors.

 

268

00:07:43,262 --> 00:07:43,563

Yeah.

 

269

00:07:43,563 --> 00:07:45,731

Or it sucked worse than we realized

 

270

00:07:45,731 --> 00:07:47,467

and we never heard anything about it.

 

271

00:07:47,467 --> 00:07:47,800

So we're

 

272

00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,168

just going to keep ramming it down.

 

273

00:07:49,168 --> 00:07:52,538

Everybody stop until we get it right?

 

274

00:07:52,538 --> 00:07:52,905

Yeah.

 

275

00:07:52,905 --> 00:07:54,407

Do you guys send those emails

 

276

00:07:54,407 --> 00:07:56,075

telling us how much you love it?

 

277

00:07:56,075 --> 00:07:58,911

Then we'll stop doing it.

 

278

00:07:58,978 --> 00:07:59,779

That's how it works.

 

279

00:07:59,779 --> 00:08:00,880

All right, Rob,

 

280

00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:01,647

we're going to do a play

 

281

00:08:01,647 --> 00:08:04,617

by play coating the floor.

 

282

00:08:04,617 --> 00:08:08,921

So why don't you get us started?

 

283

00:08:09,021 --> 00:08:12,758

All right, Good morning, everybody.

 

284

00:08:12,758 --> 00:08:15,428

Here beside Wayne Highlander again

 

285

00:08:15,428 --> 00:08:17,330

today as we check in on our team

 

286

00:08:17,330 --> 00:08:17,930

in Wayne.

 

287

00:08:17,930 --> 00:08:21,234

As you know, this is coating day,

 

288

00:08:21,300 --> 00:08:22,935

not just any coating day.

 

289

00:08:22,935 --> 00:08:23,903

These two guys

 

290

00:08:23,903 --> 00:08:25,838

have advanced to the final coat round.

 

291

00:08:25,838 --> 00:08:27,440

That's right.

 

292

00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,009

Final coat day.

 

293

00:08:30,009 --> 00:08:31,344

Final coat day, Rob.

 

294

00:08:31,344 --> 00:08:31,777

You're right.

 

295

00:08:31,777 --> 00:08:32,378

And you know what?

 

296

00:08:32,378 --> 00:08:33,379

For these guys, it's

 

297

00:08:33,379 --> 00:08:34,680

a 40 mile round trip

 

298

00:08:34,680 --> 00:08:37,683

each way to the jobsite for this pair.

 

299

00:08:37,850 --> 00:08:39,652

And their new job starts tomorrow.

 

300

00:08:39,652 --> 00:08:41,087

This homeowner is going to either

 

301

00:08:41,087 --> 00:08:42,688

write their check

 

302

00:08:42,688 --> 00:08:43,389

or not,

 

303

00:08:43,389 --> 00:08:45,391

depending on the outcome of this go.

 

304

00:08:45,391 --> 00:08:46,225

That's more pressure

 

305

00:08:46,225 --> 00:08:47,827

than a redheaded kid in a beach party.

 

306

00:08:47,827 --> 00:08:48,861

Rob.

 

307

00:08:48,861 --> 00:08:50,596

You'd know all about that, wouldn't you?

 

308

00:08:50,596 --> 00:08:52,598

Wayne?

 

309

00:08:52,698 --> 00:08:53,232

Do you have any

 

310

00:08:53,232 --> 00:08:56,903

rituals when it came to Cody?

 

311

00:08:56,969 --> 00:08:58,504

other than my lucky rabbit's foot

 

312

00:08:58,504 --> 00:08:59,438

crossing my fingers,

 

313

00:08:59,438 --> 00:09:00,306

knocking on wood,

 

314

00:09:00,306 --> 00:09:01,707

throwing salt over my shoulder,

 

315

00:09:01,707 --> 00:09:03,309

rubbing my lucky penny?

 

316

00:09:03,309 --> 00:09:04,944

No.

 

317

00:09:04,944 --> 00:09:05,211

Rob.

 

318

00:09:05,211 --> 00:09:06,913

Let's look at the scenario, though.

 

319

00:09:06,913 --> 00:09:08,147

We have a living room,

 

320

00:09:08,147 --> 00:09:09,582

a dining room and a kitchen.

 

321

00:09:09,582 --> 00:09:12,118

It's fairly pedestrian, but the hallway.

 

322

00:09:12,118 --> 00:09:14,120

Rob The hallway is 100 feet

 

323

00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,589

long by 6 to 7 feet wide.

 

324

00:09:16,589 --> 00:09:18,024

There are windows everywhere.

 

325

00:09:18,024 --> 00:09:19,025

And you know, that's

 

326

00:09:19,025 --> 00:09:21,027

where the challenge lies in this job.

 

327

00:09:21,027 --> 00:09:22,562

That's scarier than an undertaker

 

328

00:09:22,562 --> 00:09:24,931

for the average man. Rob

 

329

00:09:24,931 --> 00:09:26,098

That's right, Wayne.

 

330

00:09:26,098 --> 00:09:27,900

And, you know, it's been on his mind

 

331

00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:29,936

since the day he did this job.

 

332

00:09:29,936 --> 00:09:31,203

He's a T-bar guy.

 

333

00:09:31,203 --> 00:09:32,972

One of the best in

 

334

00:09:32,972 --> 00:09:34,273

this job doesn't set up

 

335

00:09:34,273 --> 00:09:36,409

well for his style of coding.

 

336

00:09:36,409 --> 00:09:37,109

Two of the rooms

 

337

00:09:37,109 --> 00:09:38,511

are right off the long hallway

 

338

00:09:38,511 --> 00:09:39,946

with no breaks and no boarders,

 

339

00:09:39,946 --> 00:09:42,748

So he has to tie them all together

 

340

00:09:42,748 --> 00:09:44,517

as he makes his way down the hall.

 

341

00:09:44,517 --> 00:09:46,285

You've heard of Highway to Hell.

 

342

00:09:46,285 --> 00:09:51,057

Well, Wayne, this is all the way to hell.

 

343

00:09:51,123 --> 00:09:52,558

Profound, Rob.

 

344

00:09:52,558 --> 00:09:53,392

However,

 

345

00:09:53,392 --> 00:09:53,759

if he

 

346

00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:54,560

can make the right

 

347

00:09:54,560 --> 00:09:56,162

application adjustments,

 

348

00:09:56,162 --> 00:09:56,929

he can easily knocked

 

349

00:09:56,929 --> 00:09:57,663

this out of the park.

 

350

00:09:57,663 --> 00:10:00,266

And we all know this is a team sport.

 

351

00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:01,067

You have to be able

 

352

00:10:01,067 --> 00:10:02,735

to depend on his apprentice.

 

353

00:10:02,735 --> 00:10:05,171

Last time we checked on these two,

 

354

00:10:05,171 --> 00:10:06,939

they weren't getting along.

 

355

00:10:06,939 --> 00:10:09,241

Paul's got a bit of a temper as we know,

 

356

00:10:09,241 --> 00:10:10,643

and he's under pressure

 

357

00:10:10,643 --> 00:10:11,444

and his apprentice

 

358

00:10:11,444 --> 00:10:15,414

is, well, an apprentice.

 

359

00:10:15,481 --> 00:10:16,616

He's a good kid, Wayne.

 

360

00:10:16,616 --> 00:10:18,651

But let's just say he is

 

361

00:10:18,651 --> 00:10:21,387

one of the sharpest tools in the shed

 

362

00:10:21,387 --> 00:10:23,756

as corn like going would say, that boy's

 

363

00:10:23,756 --> 00:10:26,759

about as sharp as a bowling ball.

 

364

00:10:26,826 --> 00:10:28,327

Let's go back to the action, Rob.

 

365

00:10:28,327 --> 00:10:28,761

You can see

 

366

00:10:28,761 --> 00:10:29,929

they're talking it over first.

 

367

00:10:29,929 --> 00:10:31,297

And you love to see this.

 

368

00:10:31,297 --> 00:10:33,165

They're dialing in a game plan.

 

369

00:10:33,165 --> 00:10:34,734

Paul keeps his custom t bar

 

370

00:10:34,734 --> 00:10:37,737

in a special modified plastic case.

 

371

00:10:37,737 --> 00:10:38,738

He won the West Coast

 

372

00:10:38,738 --> 00:10:40,439

annual Golden T-bar contest.

 

373

00:10:40,439 --> 00:10:41,474

With it,

 

374

00:10:41,474 --> 00:10:42,408

this T-bar comes

 

375

00:10:42,408 --> 00:10:44,343

with a high velocity rotation.

 

376

00:10:44,343 --> 00:10:45,878

It's water resistant.

 

377

00:10:45,878 --> 00:10:47,546

It's made up of multi-directional

 

378

00:10:47,546 --> 00:10:48,981

carbon fiber,

 

379

00:10:48,981 --> 00:10:51,217

unparalleled front end balance

 

380

00:10:51,217 --> 00:10:53,252

and low deflection qualities.

 

381

00:10:53,252 --> 00:10:54,086

Rob, I got to say,

 

382

00:10:54,086 --> 00:10:56,455

his confidence is riding high right now,

 

383

00:10:56,455 --> 00:10:59,091

but you can swing a $500 bet,

 

384

00:10:59,091 --> 00:11:00,326

but you still got to hit the ball, right?

 

385

00:11:00,326 --> 00:11:01,661

Rob

 

386

00:11:01,761 --> 00:11:02,228

That's right.

 

387

00:11:02,228 --> 00:11:03,429

Wayne.

 

388

00:11:03,429 --> 00:11:03,996

Wayne You know,

 

389

00:11:03,996 --> 00:11:05,264

I remember the day you won

 

390

00:11:05,264 --> 00:11:06,432

your golden tee bar.

 

391

00:11:06,432 --> 00:11:08,901

Whatever happened to it?

 

392

00:11:08,901 --> 00:11:10,102

Well,

 

393

00:11:10,102 --> 00:11:11,003

when my apprentice quit,

 

394

00:11:11,003 --> 00:11:12,438

he took it with him.

 

395

00:11:12,438 --> 00:11:13,506

He later sent me a video

 

396

00:11:13,506 --> 00:11:15,875

running it through a wood chip.

 

397

00:11:15,875 --> 00:11:17,143

I made him sit in the back of the truck

 

398

00:11:17,143 --> 00:11:17,943

a few, many times.

 

399

00:11:17,943 --> 00:11:18,711

I guess

 

400

00:11:18,711 --> 00:11:19,412

it was a mean kid

 

401

00:11:19,412 --> 00:11:22,615

from Weyers Cave, Virginia.

 

402

00:11:22,682 --> 00:11:23,282

Here you go.

 

403

00:11:23,282 --> 00:11:24,817

Watch the footwork, Robert,

 

404

00:11:24,817 --> 00:11:25,885

as this apprentice.

 

405

00:11:25,885 --> 00:11:27,186

Well, he's cutting it.

 

406

00:11:27,186 --> 00:11:28,721

Ain't no Fred Astaire,

 

407

00:11:28,721 --> 00:11:30,923

but he's moving at a pretty good clip.

 

408

00:11:30,923 --> 00:11:31,957

He's intimidated

 

409

00:11:31,957 --> 00:11:33,726

by the speed of his demon

 

410

00:11:33,726 --> 00:11:34,493

who has been known

 

411

00:11:34,493 --> 00:11:36,095

to run over the cutting guy.

 

412

00:11:36,095 --> 00:11:37,563

Look at the fingertip control

 

413

00:11:37,563 --> 00:11:39,065

of that dream of this T-bar,

 

414

00:11:39,065 --> 00:11:41,300

it is effortless,

 

415

00:11:41,300 --> 00:11:43,436

is almost overexaggerated.

 

416

00:11:43,436 --> 00:11:44,603

Moves across the floor

 

417

00:11:44,603 --> 00:11:47,339

harkens back to Abba and dancing Queen.

 

418

00:11:47,339 --> 00:11:48,474

Speaking of dancing Queen, Rob,

 

419

00:11:48,474 --> 00:11:50,910

what ever happened to your Golden G bar?

 

420

00:11:50,976 --> 00:11:51,877

Funny you should mention

 

421

00:11:51,877 --> 00:11:53,612

Dancing Queen

 

422

00:11:53,612 --> 00:11:55,948

Billy Price borrowed my T-bar.

 

423

00:11:55,948 --> 00:11:57,249

Thank God,

 

424

00:11:57,249 --> 00:11:58,150

hung it on the wall,

 

425

00:11:58,150 --> 00:11:58,851

scratched off

 

426

00:11:58,851 --> 00:11:59,518

my initials,

 

427

00:11:59,518 --> 00:12:03,189

put his on, never returned it.

 

428

00:12:03,255 --> 00:12:06,258

I'll get it back someday.

 

429

00:12:06,358 --> 00:12:09,028

Wayne, did you just hear that?

 

430

00:12:09,028 --> 00:12:11,464

The hear Recycle just turned on.

 

431

00:12:11,464 --> 00:12:13,099

He's got about 30 seconds

 

432

00:12:13,099 --> 00:12:15,935

before this starts. Things are.

 

433

00:12:15,935 --> 00:12:17,670

Wayne. Did you just do that?

 

434

00:12:17,670 --> 00:12:19,138

All right, let me try it again,

 

435

00:12:19,138 --> 00:12:22,141

you halfwit. Go.

 

436

00:12:22,174 --> 00:12:24,677

You having fun,

 

437

00:12:24,677 --> 00:12:25,010

Wayne?

 

438

00:12:25,010 --> 00:12:26,679

Did you just hear that

 

439

00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,315

the heater recycler just turned on?

 

440

00:12:29,315 --> 00:12:30,916

He's got about 30 seconds

 

441

00:12:30,916 --> 00:12:33,119

before that thing starts forward.

 

442

00:12:33,119 --> 00:12:34,620

I caught that, Rob.

 

443

00:12:34,620 --> 00:12:35,588

I'm surprised you could

 

444

00:12:35,588 --> 00:12:37,289

with your horrible hearing.

 

445

00:12:37,289 --> 00:12:37,690

You know what?

 

446

00:12:37,690 --> 00:12:39,291

That could spell trouble, Rob.

 

447

00:12:39,291 --> 00:12:40,359

He's got to make it to that

 

448

00:12:40,359 --> 00:12:41,160

thermostat quick.

 

449

00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,828

If they heater comes on,

 

450

00:12:42,828 --> 00:12:44,330

that can be disaster in the making

 

451

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

That's more uncomfortable than

 

452

00:12:45,498 --> 00:12:49,101

a warm public policy

 

453

00:12:49,168 --> 00:12:51,170

kind of creepy way.

 

454

00:12:51,170 --> 00:12:52,772

You're kind of creepy.

 

455

00:12:52,772 --> 00:12:53,205

sorry.

 

456

00:12:53,205 --> 00:12:57,643

I get defensive there.

 

457

00:12:57,743 --> 00:12:59,545

look at that apprentice run.

 

458

00:12:59,545 --> 00:13:01,981

He's moving like a gazelle.

 

459

00:13:01,981 --> 00:13:03,516

He'll make it to the thermostat

 

460

00:13:03,516 --> 00:13:06,418

with plenty of time to spare.

 

461

00:13:06,418 --> 00:13:07,253

no, Rob.

 

462

00:13:07,253 --> 00:13:07,987

I mean, look,

 

463

00:13:07,987 --> 00:13:08,988

he put his dirty hands

 

464

00:13:08,988 --> 00:13:10,356

on the wallpaper, though.

 

465

00:13:10,356 --> 00:13:12,057

I don't care how well that tea bars

 

466

00:13:12,057 --> 00:13:13,559

balanced with carbon fiber.

 

467

00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:14,627

If you don't get that wall

 

468

00:13:14,627 --> 00:13:15,928

cleaned up, Paul is going to balance it

 

469

00:13:15,928 --> 00:13:17,363

against that kid's head.

 

470

00:13:17,363 --> 00:13:19,598

If looks could kill

 

471

00:13:19,598 --> 00:13:23,269

that scarier than never mind.

 

472

00:13:23,369 --> 00:13:24,703

I know

 

473

00:13:24,703 --> 00:13:25,638

he wasn't a good looking

 

474

00:13:25,638 --> 00:13:26,438

kid to begin with.

 

475

00:13:26,438 --> 00:13:28,140

He looks like he had too much more secure

 

476

00:13:28,140 --> 00:13:31,143

without a respirator, if you ask me.

 

477

00:13:31,210 --> 00:13:33,712

Well, when it's decision time,

 

478

00:13:33,712 --> 00:13:35,114

do they keep coding

 

479

00:13:35,114 --> 00:13:38,584

or do they stop and clean up that wall?

 

480

00:13:38,651 --> 00:13:40,019

You got to keep going, Rob.

 

481

00:13:40,019 --> 00:13:40,753

Remember,

 

482

00:13:40,753 --> 00:13:41,987

there's a painter on the job

 

483

00:13:41,987 --> 00:13:44,056

and the homeowner does not like.

 

484

00:13:44,056 --> 00:13:45,391

You got to blame this one on the painter.

 

485

00:13:45,391 --> 00:13:46,125

Keep going, Rob.

 

486

00:13:46,125 --> 00:13:48,727

Pretty easy. Go.

 

487

00:13:48,727 --> 00:13:49,395

Well, Wayne.

 

488

00:13:49,395 --> 00:13:50,629

That's why they make chocolate

 

489

00:13:50,629 --> 00:13:51,664

and vanilla.

 

490

00:13:51,664 --> 00:13:53,098

I would agree with you.

 

491

00:13:53,098 --> 00:13:55,167

If it was first go, I'm better.

 

492

00:13:55,167 --> 00:13:56,335

Would

 

493

00:13:56,335 --> 00:13:56,769

I say

 

494

00:13:56,769 --> 00:13:58,437

you got to stop and fix it with traffic?

 

495

00:13:58,437 --> 00:14:00,005

HD The proper spread

 

496

00:14:00,005 --> 00:14:04,310

rate, you get plenty of work in time.

 

497

00:14:04,410 --> 00:14:06,111

Wayne Did

 

498

00:14:06,111 --> 00:14:07,646

he just look at the side of the gown,

 

499

00:14:07,646 --> 00:14:09,915

see how much finished is made up?

 

500

00:14:09,915 --> 00:14:11,750

Please tell me he has enough

 

501

00:14:11,750 --> 00:14:13,786

finished to complete this room.

 

502

00:14:13,786 --> 00:14:14,787

I've be giving this kid

 

503

00:14:14,787 --> 00:14:16,622

the benefit of the doubt this whole time,

 

504

00:14:16,622 --> 00:14:18,891

but my patience is really starting

 

505

00:14:18,891 --> 00:14:20,459

to wear thin.

 

506

00:14:20,459 --> 00:14:21,093

Easy, Rob.

 

507

00:14:21,093 --> 00:14:21,527

You're starting to

 

508

00:14:21,527 --> 00:14:22,828

sound like an old queen.

 

509

00:14:22,828 --> 00:14:27,433

That kid's got plenty of finished.

 

510

00:14:27,533 --> 00:14:29,401

I did not see this coming.

 

511

00:14:29,401 --> 00:14:31,303

I did not see this guy.

 

512

00:14:31,303 --> 00:14:34,306

You can teach an old dog new tricks.

 

513

00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,109

Paul kept this one to himself.

 

514

00:14:37,109 --> 00:14:39,445

He is a T-bar master,

 

515

00:14:39,445 --> 00:14:40,412

but I'll be damned

 

516

00:14:40,412 --> 00:14:41,347

if he is in breaking out

 

517

00:14:41,347 --> 00:14:43,415

a roll in a coat. That long hallway.

 

518

00:14:43,415 --> 00:14:45,584

Look at the grin on his face.

 

519

00:14:45,584 --> 00:14:48,921

He knew nobody was expecting this one.

 

520

00:14:48,988 --> 00:14:49,955

man. Robin, you know.

 

521

00:14:49,955 --> 00:14:50,456

You know what?

 

522

00:14:50,456 --> 00:14:52,091

This is a sign of a true pro.

 

523

00:14:52,091 --> 00:14:54,293

He's using all the tools in his arsenal.

 

524

00:14:54,293 --> 00:14:56,161

He's not just married of one application

 

525

00:14:56,161 --> 00:14:57,296

to this technique.

 

526

00:14:57,296 --> 00:14:58,664

I've said it before.

 

527

00:14:58,664 --> 00:15:00,032

A perfect goal

 

528

00:15:00,032 --> 00:15:02,201

is a constantly moving target.

 

529

00:15:02,201 --> 00:15:04,570

It is dictated by jobsite

 

530

00:15:04,570 --> 00:15:07,473

technique and chemistry.

 

531

00:15:07,473 --> 00:15:08,607

Wayne, how many times

 

532

00:15:08,607 --> 00:15:10,409

are you going to wear that one out?

 

533

00:15:10,409 --> 00:15:12,544

It's not going to stick.

 

534

00:15:12,544 --> 00:15:20,986

You've tried that too,

 

535

00:15:21,086 --> 00:15:25,858

and

 

536

00:15:25,925 --> 00:15:26,959

wait, how many times are

 

537

00:15:26,959 --> 00:15:29,028

you going to wear that one out?

 

538

00:15:29,028 --> 00:15:30,396

It's not going to stick.

 

539

00:15:30,396 --> 00:15:31,397

You've tried to work that

 

540

00:15:31,397 --> 00:15:34,700

into every training book and video.

 

541

00:15:34,767 --> 00:15:35,935

Hashtag perfect code.

 

542

00:15:35,935 --> 00:15:40,005

If anybody's listening.

 

543

00:15:40,105 --> 00:15:40,606

man, it

 

544

00:15:40,606 --> 00:15:41,774

just when I wanted to split

 

545

00:15:41,774 --> 00:15:44,376

this kid's head open with a razor,

 

546

00:15:44,376 --> 00:15:45,978

I see that he has switched

 

547

00:15:45,978 --> 00:15:47,646

to cutting in behind the journeyman.

 

548

00:15:47,646 --> 00:15:49,949

He really seems to understand

 

549

00:15:49,949 --> 00:15:52,484

his role finally.

 

550

00:15:52,484 --> 00:15:55,688

And he's finding his comfort zone

 

551

00:15:55,788 --> 00:15:57,089

Now, the issue I have with this

 

552

00:15:57,089 --> 00:15:59,191

hallway is the exit is 30 feet away

 

553

00:15:59,191 --> 00:16:03,395

from the first 60 feet has been gravy.

 

554

00:16:03,462 --> 00:16:06,298

But now the real challenge begins

 

555

00:16:06,298 --> 00:16:07,132

speaking.

 

556

00:16:07,132 --> 00:16:09,268

Grady Rob, you never mentioned that.

 

557

00:16:09,268 --> 00:16:09,568

You know,

 

558

00:16:09,568 --> 00:16:10,803

you never even mentioned you notice

 

559

00:16:10,803 --> 00:16:12,705

I lost £32.

 

560

00:16:12,705 --> 00:16:14,106

I could tell your head looks

 

561

00:16:14,106 --> 00:16:16,976

way too big for your body

 

562

00:16:17,042 --> 00:16:17,543

not to look.

 

563

00:16:17,543 --> 00:16:19,545

I was going for it, but thinks so.

 

564

00:16:19,545 --> 00:16:20,579

Back to the floor now.

 

565

00:16:20,579 --> 00:16:21,246

They got to

 

566

00:16:21,246 --> 00:16:22,648

they got to do the wet line dance.

 

567

00:16:22,648 --> 00:16:23,916

Rob, you know that it's

 

568

00:16:23,916 --> 00:16:24,917

keeping several areas

 

569

00:16:24,917 --> 00:16:26,218

wet at the same time.

 

570

00:16:26,218 --> 00:16:29,188

If he stays on the proper coverage,

 

571

00:16:29,188 --> 00:16:29,955

his life is going to be

 

572

00:16:29,955 --> 00:16:31,357

a whole lot easier.

 

573

00:16:31,357 --> 00:16:32,825

Rob Here's where you need patience

 

574

00:16:32,825 --> 00:16:33,325

and skill

 

575

00:16:33,325 --> 00:16:34,293

to know how much product

 

576

00:16:34,293 --> 00:16:36,662

to put out there on the floor.

 

577

00:16:36,662 --> 00:16:37,963

This is when you need your dream

 

578

00:16:37,963 --> 00:16:39,531

and to be a leader and call the shots.

 

579

00:16:39,531 --> 00:16:41,133

You got to stay calm.

 

580

00:16:41,133 --> 00:16:42,735

You got to stay confident

 

581

00:16:42,735 --> 00:16:43,469

your apprentice is

 

582

00:16:43,469 --> 00:16:44,436

going to key off of him.

 

583

00:16:44,436 --> 00:16:45,904

If he panics,

 

584

00:16:45,904 --> 00:16:47,639

you can lose The Apprentice.

 

585

00:16:47,639 --> 00:16:48,474

Many times

 

586

00:16:48,474 --> 00:16:49,508

I've had to slap The Apprentice

 

587

00:16:49,508 --> 00:16:54,179

to get his focus back.

 

588

00:16:54,246 --> 00:16:55,080

I hear you, Wayne.

 

589

00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:55,647

My brother

 

590

00:16:55,647 --> 00:16:58,650

still won't talk to me about work.

 

591

00:16:58,751 --> 00:17:00,019

Well, okay, here we go.

 

592

00:17:00,019 --> 00:17:01,253

One thing I really did, Rob,

 

593

00:17:01,253 --> 00:17:01,920

this is what I love.

 

594

00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,188

What they did right here.

 

595

00:17:03,188 --> 00:17:03,622

You know,

 

596

00:17:03,622 --> 00:17:05,691

they could end up with extra finish

 

597

00:17:05,691 --> 00:17:07,426

and there's no bench in sight.

 

598

00:17:07,426 --> 00:17:09,628

So they place towels at the exit points

 

599

00:17:09,628 --> 00:17:10,596

before they even started

 

600

00:17:10,596 --> 00:17:12,064

coding ahead of time

 

601

00:17:12,064 --> 00:17:13,065

in case they need to pick up

 

602

00:17:13,065 --> 00:17:13,932

that extra finish.

 

603

00:17:13,932 --> 00:17:14,366

That's a

 

604

00:17:14,366 --> 00:17:18,270

that's a really, really smart move.

 

605

00:17:18,337 --> 00:17:20,439

We are about to see the classic pendulum

 

606

00:17:20,439 --> 00:17:27,379

swing can take

 

607

00:17:27,479 --> 00:17:28,447

eight.

 

608

00:17:28,447 --> 00:17:30,649

We were about to see the classic pendulum

 

609

00:17:30,649 --> 00:17:31,550

swing connecting

 

610

00:17:31,550 --> 00:17:33,152

both sides of the hallway

 

611

00:17:33,152 --> 00:17:37,056

and out of the room after one less.

 

612

00:17:37,122 --> 00:17:40,359

my God, you moron.

 

613

00:17:40,426 --> 00:17:48,500

And

 

614

00:17:48,567 --> 00:17:51,270

one two,

 

615

00:17:51,270 --> 00:17:52,304

high.

 

616

00:17:52,304 --> 00:17:53,305

Thank God

 

617

00:17:53,305 --> 00:17:54,139

we are about to see

 

618

00:17:54,139 --> 00:17:56,241

the classic pendulum swing

 

619

00:17:56,241 --> 00:17:58,977

connecting both sides of the hallway

 

620

00:17:58,977 --> 00:18:00,846

and out of the room.

 

621

00:18:00,846 --> 00:18:08,754

After one less. my God.

 

622

00:18:08,821 --> 00:18:14,026

Try to get Rob.

 

623

00:18:14,126 --> 00:18:17,129

All right.

 

624

00:18:17,229 --> 00:18:22,634

We are about to see the classic swing.

 

625

00:18:22,734 --> 00:18:24,470

What was that, Larry?

 

626

00:18:24,470 --> 00:18:25,804

Just.

 

627

00:18:25,804 --> 00:18:26,939

You'll get it.

 

628

00:18:26,939 --> 00:18:28,841

Yeah, I'm good.

 

629

00:18:28,841 --> 00:18:33,278

I want to help you concentrate.

 

630

00:18:33,345 --> 00:18:34,213

Okay, Thanks.

 

631

00:18:34,213 --> 00:18:36,148

That goes that out.

 

632

00:18:36,148 --> 00:18:37,182

I was about to nail it.

 

633

00:18:37,182 --> 00:18:43,555

The exit

 

634

00:18:43,655 --> 00:18:46,525

are.

 

635

00:18:46,525 --> 00:18:47,926

We are about to see the classic

 

636

00:18:47,926 --> 00:18:48,861

pendulum swing

 

637

00:18:48,861 --> 00:18:51,363

connecting both ends of the hallway

 

638

00:18:51,363 --> 00:18:53,232

and out of the room.

 

639

00:18:53,232 --> 00:18:54,900

One last overly dramatic

 

640

00:18:54,900 --> 00:18:56,435

role of push away from himself.

 

641

00:18:56,435 --> 00:18:58,270

He finds.

 

642

00:18:58,270 --> 00:19:05,010

you got to be me

 

643

00:19:05,077 --> 00:19:06,245

language.

 

644

00:19:06,245 --> 00:19:12,484

Sorry, I lean.

 

645

00:19:12,551 --> 00:19:18,190

why can't I do this?

 

646

00:19:18,290 --> 00:19:20,659

The rhetorical or you want the answer?

 

647

00:19:20,659 --> 00:19:22,227

No, that's just.

 

648

00:19:22,227 --> 00:19:24,830

Yeah, just keep your mouth shut.

 

649

00:19:24,830 --> 00:19:26,098

Thank.

 

650

00:19:26,098 --> 00:19:28,300

We're about to see the classic pendulum

 

651

00:19:28,300 --> 00:19:30,636

swing connecting both ends of the hallway

 

652

00:19:30,636 --> 00:19:31,570

and out of the room.

 

653

00:19:31,570 --> 00:19:33,105

They go

 

654

00:19:33,105 --> 00:19:35,440

one last overly dramatic role of push

 

655

00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,876

away from himself.

 

656

00:19:37,976 --> 00:19:38,810

He's got it.

 

657

00:19:38,810 --> 00:19:39,912

He hands Zorro a

 

658

00:19:39,912 --> 00:19:41,313

handle to the kid and says,

 

659

00:19:41,313 --> 00:19:44,316

My work is done here.

 

660

00:19:44,449 --> 00:19:46,518

You know what I smell, Rob?

 

661

00:19:46,518 --> 00:19:47,786

Yeah, I smell money.

 

662

00:19:47,786 --> 00:19:49,855

You're going to get paid on this one.

 

663

00:19:49,855 --> 00:19:50,889

8020, of course,

 

664

00:19:50,889 --> 00:19:52,090

but they're going to get paid.

 

665

00:19:52,090 --> 00:19:53,525

You struggled a little bit there.

 

666

00:19:53,525 --> 00:19:55,027

You rub

 

667

00:19:55,027 --> 00:19:56,728

you remember what I started off?

 

668

00:19:56,728 --> 00:19:58,797

I'm not used to doing all the talking.

 

669

00:19:58,797 --> 00:20:01,166

You're. You're the talker, not me.

 

670

00:20:01,166 --> 00:20:01,300

Well,

 

671

00:20:01,300 --> 00:20:04,169

we see why now I'm just comic relief,

 

672

00:20:04,169 --> 00:20:05,270

you know what I mean? I'm.

 

673

00:20:05,270 --> 00:20:08,006

I'm the Ed McMahon of the show.

 

674

00:20:08,006 --> 00:20:08,507

You know,

 

675

00:20:08,507 --> 00:20:09,675

very the beginning of that thing

 

676

00:20:09,675 --> 00:20:10,409

when I said, you know,

 

677

00:20:10,409 --> 00:20:11,210

we're one step away

 

678

00:20:11,210 --> 00:20:13,879

from being Wal-Mart readers

 

679

00:20:13,879 --> 00:20:16,114

when I was talking about

 

680

00:20:16,114 --> 00:20:18,884

it was too much right there.

 

681

00:20:18,884 --> 00:20:20,652

How many times did that read through?

 

682

00:20:20,652 --> 00:20:22,621

How many times you do that read through

 

683

00:20:22,621 --> 00:20:23,455

when Great.

 

684

00:20:23,455 --> 00:20:25,157

Every time. Yeah.

 

685

00:20:25,157 --> 00:20:26,491

And I'm surprised you struggled

 

686

00:20:26,491 --> 00:20:28,660

with it was cracking me up.

 

687

00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,263

I only struggled twice.

 

688

00:20:31,263 --> 00:20:33,498

Yeah, I only struggled twice on that.

 

689

00:20:33,498 --> 00:20:35,500

Yeah. Listen to it back.

 

690

00:20:35,500 --> 00:20:36,235

Okay?

 

691

00:20:36,235 --> 00:20:38,503

I want to say something, Rob.

 

692

00:20:38,503 --> 00:20:41,506

You know,

 

693

00:20:41,607 --> 00:20:43,976

we have some guys

 

694

00:20:43,976 --> 00:20:44,977

call us from time to time

 

695

00:20:44,977 --> 00:20:46,378

about the podcast and different stuff.

 

696

00:20:46,378 --> 00:20:48,146

And what I mean, I had a good guy,

 

697

00:20:48,146 --> 00:20:49,147

you know, real good guy.

 

698

00:20:49,147 --> 00:20:50,015

He's struggling,

 

699

00:20:50,015 --> 00:20:51,283

struggling, struggling

 

700

00:20:51,283 --> 00:20:53,752

big time right now in a job.

 

701

00:20:53,752 --> 00:20:55,921

He had a helper quit him in the middle

 

702

00:20:55,921 --> 00:20:56,989

of one of the biggest job

 

703

00:20:56,989 --> 00:20:59,157

losses of his career,

 

704

00:20:59,157 --> 00:21:00,225

which coincidentally is

 

705

00:21:00,225 --> 00:21:00,626

one of the more

 

706

00:21:00,626 --> 00:21:02,561

stressful jobs of his career.

 

707

00:21:02,561 --> 00:21:04,930

And he had one of his guys quit on them

 

708

00:21:04,930 --> 00:21:06,865

and he had some other other issues

 

709

00:21:06,865 --> 00:21:08,767

going on, family stuff, what have you.

 

710

00:21:08,767 --> 00:21:12,771

And I just wanted to say, I mean,

 

711

00:21:12,838 --> 00:21:14,773

that's that's a that's tough, man.

 

712

00:21:14,773 --> 00:21:15,374

I mean, Rob,

 

713

00:21:15,374 --> 00:21:16,708

we certainly been there

 

714

00:21:16,708 --> 00:21:17,843

when there's this job

 

715

00:21:17,843 --> 00:21:19,311

can be overwhelmingly stressful

 

716

00:21:19,311 --> 00:21:22,681

and and listen to his voice and I

 

717

00:21:22,748 --> 00:21:24,082

if if he didn't live

 

718

00:21:24,082 --> 00:21:25,617

I'll have Wednesday the country

 

719

00:21:25,617 --> 00:21:27,452

and if I had any time at all.

 

720

00:21:27,452 --> 00:21:27,953

One of the guys

 

721

00:21:27,953 --> 00:21:28,887

you want to pack up your tools

 

722

00:21:28,887 --> 00:21:29,888

and go over there and give the guy

 

723

00:21:29,888 --> 00:21:31,390

give the guy a hand.

 

724

00:21:31,390 --> 00:21:32,991

But

 

725

00:21:32,991 --> 00:21:35,294

we know that for guys that go through

 

726

00:21:35,294 --> 00:21:36,695

this kind of stuff from time to time

 

727

00:21:36,695 --> 00:21:40,966

and and I wish we had something,

 

728

00:21:41,066 --> 00:21:41,833

you know,

 

729

00:21:41,833 --> 00:21:42,934

just comforting

 

730

00:21:42,934 --> 00:21:44,369

to say about stuff like that

 

731

00:21:44,369 --> 00:21:45,437

because we've all been there.

 

732

00:21:45,437 --> 00:21:46,738

It is tough, man.

 

733

00:21:46,738 --> 00:21:48,073

The only thing I can say

 

734

00:21:48,073 --> 00:21:48,807

when you're going through

 

735

00:21:48,807 --> 00:21:50,275

something like that,

 

736

00:21:50,275 --> 00:21:51,610

I know for myself

 

737

00:21:51,610 --> 00:21:52,778

is that I start

 

738

00:21:52,778 --> 00:21:54,012

looking at long range goals.

 

739

00:21:54,012 --> 00:21:54,613

And I started

 

740

00:21:54,613 --> 00:21:57,382

I started taking just baby steps.

 

741

00:21:57,382 --> 00:21:59,184

Like I would just say, you know what?

 

742

00:21:59,184 --> 00:22:01,019

I just need to get this room done.

 

743

00:22:01,019 --> 00:22:02,187

Sometimes it's too overwhelming

 

744

00:22:02,187 --> 00:22:03,789

to look at the big picture.

 

745

00:22:03,789 --> 00:22:06,024

Just take it baby steps at a time.

 

746

00:22:06,024 --> 00:22:07,392

If you and I mean, that's

 

747

00:22:07,392 --> 00:22:08,026

what's worked for me.

 

748

00:22:08,026 --> 00:22:08,627

If you're going through

 

749

00:22:08,627 --> 00:22:09,328

something like this

 

750

00:22:09,328 --> 00:22:11,997

and try to try to just just

 

751

00:22:11,997 --> 00:22:13,699

stop thinking of, you know,

 

752

00:22:13,699 --> 00:22:15,467

stressing yourself out on the big picture

 

753

00:22:15,467 --> 00:22:16,501

and just try to break it down

 

754

00:22:16,501 --> 00:22:17,836

into little steps,

 

755

00:22:17,836 --> 00:22:18,570

They say like they say,

 

756

00:22:18,570 --> 00:22:20,005

how hit an elephant just once,

 

757

00:22:20,005 --> 00:22:22,774

one spoonful at a time or whatever.

 

758

00:22:22,841 --> 00:22:24,643

So I hope when he gets

 

759

00:22:24,643 --> 00:22:25,911

through it, we've all been there, man.

 

760

00:22:25,911 --> 00:22:26,845

When when when you

 

761

00:22:26,845 --> 00:22:27,746

when you're up against

 

762

00:22:27,746 --> 00:22:28,580

something like that.

 

763

00:22:28,580 --> 00:22:30,048

And sometimes in this job

 

764

00:22:30,048 --> 00:22:30,849

as a contractor,

 

765

00:22:30,849 --> 00:22:32,517

you feel like you're on an island

 

766

00:22:32,517 --> 00:22:34,953

and certainly have a guy quit on you.

 

767

00:22:34,953 --> 00:22:36,054

I don't know circumstances

 

768

00:22:36,054 --> 00:22:37,189

and I don't care, you know,

 

769

00:22:37,189 --> 00:22:37,989

whatever it is.

 

770

00:22:37,989 --> 00:22:39,658

But but it is just tough, man.

 

771

00:22:39,658 --> 00:22:40,525

And so

 

772

00:22:40,525 --> 00:22:42,394

and however he's going through it,

 

773

00:22:42,394 --> 00:22:44,730

so I'm not going to big names,

 

774

00:22:44,730 --> 00:22:45,664

super good guy,

 

775

00:22:45,664 --> 00:22:47,566

but I would just

 

776

00:22:47,566 --> 00:22:48,400

throw in some good thoughts

 

777

00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:49,735

out to the guy.

 

778

00:22:49,735 --> 00:22:51,269

And I know they'll power through it

 

779

00:22:51,269 --> 00:22:52,871

and it's you know,

 

780

00:22:52,871 --> 00:22:54,206

I know it's going to be a lot of weekends

 

781

00:22:54,206 --> 00:22:55,240

do to get past it

 

782

00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:56,942

and and just keep in mind

 

783

00:22:56,942 --> 00:22:58,343

you will get past this

 

784

00:22:58,343 --> 00:22:59,678

and onto the next one

 

785

00:22:59,678 --> 00:23:02,914

and give yourself a break, man. I mean,

 

786

00:23:02,981 --> 00:23:03,715

you know,

 

787

00:23:03,715 --> 00:23:06,718

don't be so hard on yourself and and

 

788

00:23:06,785 --> 00:23:09,788

just Robin, I just wish you well, man,

 

789

00:23:09,855 --> 00:23:11,056

as all I had to say.

 

790

00:23:11,056 --> 00:23:11,923

So, you know,

 

791

00:23:11,923 --> 00:23:14,760

that's a really good advice sometimes.

 

792

00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,630

And I've really tried to teach that

 

793

00:23:18,697 --> 00:23:22,601

that little thing to my kids.

 

794

00:23:22,701 --> 00:23:25,170

Don't look at everything at once,

 

795

00:23:25,170 --> 00:23:27,139

you know, like you said, just

 

796

00:23:27,139 --> 00:23:27,506

yeah,

 

797

00:23:27,506 --> 00:23:30,242

you get your eight rooms or whatever.

 

798

00:23:30,242 --> 00:23:31,076

You know what I mean?

 

799

00:23:31,076 --> 00:23:32,644

Don't think if I get eight rooms,

 

800

00:23:32,644 --> 00:23:34,312

just think of you.

 

801

00:23:34,312 --> 00:23:35,514

Just get this room done

 

802

00:23:35,514 --> 00:23:37,015

and move to the next stop

 

803

00:23:37,015 --> 00:23:39,217

thinking about the whole picture

 

804

00:23:39,217 --> 00:23:40,419

and then just.

 

805

00:23:40,419 --> 00:23:41,486

Just attack it.

 

806

00:23:41,486 --> 00:23:42,687

You know,

 

807

00:23:42,687 --> 00:23:44,289

like you said, one bite at a time.

 

808

00:23:44,289 --> 00:23:46,124

But

 

809

00:23:46,124 --> 00:23:49,127

too many times, I think people

 

810

00:23:49,127 --> 00:23:51,363

don't look at things like that.

 

811

00:23:51,363 --> 00:23:53,498

They just look at, my God, I've got

 

812

00:23:53,498 --> 00:23:54,966

I got four jobs this week.

 

813

00:23:54,966 --> 00:23:56,935

And, you know, this is

 

814

00:23:57,002 --> 00:23:59,838

room number one, a day one.

 

815

00:23:59,838 --> 00:24:01,840

Yeah, My Uncle Fred used to have my name.

 

816

00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:02,240

Robbie.

 

817

00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,009

The sun will rise tomorrow morning.

 

818

00:24:04,009 --> 00:24:05,477

I guarantee it.

 

819

00:24:05,477 --> 00:24:07,512

Yep. Yep.

 

820

00:24:07,512 --> 00:24:09,014

And,

 

821

00:24:09,014 --> 00:24:10,015

you know, sometimes it's

 

822

00:24:10,015 --> 00:24:11,817

success is just getting through the day,

 

823

00:24:11,817 --> 00:24:12,150

right?

 

824

00:24:12,150 --> 00:24:13,018

Just get through the day

 

825

00:24:13,018 --> 00:24:14,386

to make it to the next one.

 

826

00:24:14,386 --> 00:24:15,821

And you'll find if you can do that

 

827

00:24:15,821 --> 00:24:17,656

and break it down sometimes

 

828

00:24:17,656 --> 00:24:18,657

and I think the main thing too

 

829

00:24:18,657 --> 00:24:19,591

is don't be so damn hard

 

830

00:24:19,591 --> 00:24:20,892

on yourself sometimes,

 

831

00:24:20,892 --> 00:24:22,194

you know, sometimes you get thrown in.

 

832

00:24:22,194 --> 00:24:23,562

A situation is just human

 

833

00:24:23,562 --> 00:24:24,062

and you just trying

 

834

00:24:24,062 --> 00:24:25,630

to work your way out of it

 

835

00:24:25,630 --> 00:24:27,132

through no fault of your own.

 

836

00:24:27,132 --> 00:24:28,867

So easy for us to say.

 

837

00:24:28,867 --> 00:24:30,001

We know. We know that.

 

838

00:24:30,001 --> 00:24:30,635

But just

 

839

00:24:30,635 --> 00:24:32,337

I just want to say our

 

840

00:24:32,337 --> 00:24:33,104

our thoughts

 

841

00:24:33,104 --> 00:24:34,139

and prayers are with you, man.

 

842

00:24:34,139 --> 00:24:35,273

And I know you make it through.

 

843

00:24:35,273 --> 00:24:38,176

And and again, I

 

844

00:24:38,276 --> 00:24:39,211

say it because I know he's

 

845

00:24:39,211 --> 00:24:40,245

not the only one going through it.

 

846

00:24:40,245 --> 00:24:41,012

Everybody's been through it

 

847

00:24:41,012 --> 00:24:43,014

at one time or another. So.

 

848

00:24:43,014 --> 00:24:45,684

Okay, Rob,

 

849

00:24:45,684 --> 00:24:46,017

I don't know

 

850

00:24:46,017 --> 00:24:47,719

if we'll do another play by play podcast

 

851

00:24:47,719 --> 00:24:50,188

or not. I was

 

852

00:24:50,188 --> 00:24:51,456

or maybe won't be allowed to.

 

853

00:24:51,456 --> 00:24:52,958

I I don't know.

 

854

00:24:52,958 --> 00:24:55,961

But anything

 

855

00:24:55,961 --> 00:24:56,528

we could do.

 

856

00:24:56,528 --> 00:24:57,929

What about if we could do

 

857

00:24:57,929 --> 00:24:59,431

one about installs?

 

858

00:24:59,431 --> 00:25:01,199

We didn't do installs.

 

859

00:25:01,199 --> 00:25:03,869

We didn't do a play by play for installs.

 

860

00:25:03,869 --> 00:25:04,903

Yeah, Yeah.

 

861

00:25:04,903 --> 00:25:06,037

We should talk about, you know what?

 

862

00:25:06,037 --> 00:25:07,939

We got to have a stair builder on here.

 

863

00:25:07,939 --> 00:25:08,907

You know what we're going to do?

 

864

00:25:08,907 --> 00:25:10,709

There's a podcast.

 

865

00:25:10,709 --> 00:25:12,777

My brother's a on stairs, man.

 

866

00:25:12,777 --> 00:25:15,146

I mean, he got a niche of doing stairs

 

867

00:25:15,146 --> 00:25:16,448

that he is super, super

 

868

00:25:16,448 --> 00:25:17,582

good and fast at it, man.

 

869

00:25:17,582 --> 00:25:18,717

And there's a lot of them out there

 

870

00:25:18,717 --> 00:25:19,050

like that.

 

871

00:25:19,050 --> 00:25:20,819

So that will we'll have a guest on there

 

872

00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:22,420

talking about doing stairs.

 

873

00:25:22,420 --> 00:25:23,688

A lot of guys

 

874

00:25:23,688 --> 00:25:25,090

have questions about that,

 

875

00:25:25,090 --> 00:25:26,791

Dad putting up the risers and everything

 

876

00:25:26,791 --> 00:25:27,359

and the rules

 

877

00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:28,159

arise and run

 

878

00:25:28,159 --> 00:25:29,928

and which goes first and scholarship

 

879

00:25:29,928 --> 00:25:30,929

molding and

 

880

00:25:30,929 --> 00:25:32,364

and all kinds of different stuff.

 

881

00:25:32,364 --> 00:25:32,697

And there's

 

882

00:25:32,697 --> 00:25:33,798

tips and techniques out there.

 

883

00:25:33,798 --> 00:25:36,835

So I think that'll be a good show around.

 

884

00:25:36,902 --> 00:25:37,235

All right.

 

885

00:25:37,235 --> 00:25:39,638

You know, did you do a lot of stairs?

 

886

00:25:39,638 --> 00:25:41,873

Yeah. Yep, yep.

 

887

00:25:41,873 --> 00:25:44,876

I'll tell you a funny story.

 

888

00:25:44,976 --> 00:25:46,344

When I was a carpenter,

 

889

00:25:46,344 --> 00:25:47,946

I worked with this guy.

 

890

00:25:47,946 --> 00:25:48,647

It cracks me up

 

891

00:25:48,647 --> 00:25:50,315

because we both started

 

892

00:25:50,315 --> 00:25:51,182

as apprentices together.

 

893

00:25:51,182 --> 00:25:51,917

Not floor guys,

 

894

00:25:51,917 --> 00:25:53,518

but in the Carpenters union. Right?

 

895

00:25:53,518 --> 00:25:53,919

We both.

 

896

00:25:53,919 --> 00:25:55,487

We were in the first class together.

 

897

00:25:55,487 --> 00:25:57,489

We're all on the same job side together.

 

898

00:25:57,489 --> 00:25:59,124

This guy was a horrible carpenter.

 

899

00:25:59,124 --> 00:26:00,158

There is no two ways around it.

 

900

00:26:00,158 --> 00:26:01,893

He has become very successful in life.

 

901

00:26:01,893 --> 00:26:03,194

After he got out of being a carpenter,

 

902

00:26:03,194 --> 00:26:04,496

he opened up three different stores

 

903

00:26:04,496 --> 00:26:05,997

and he's killing it right now.

 

904

00:26:05,997 --> 00:26:07,332

But he was on it.

 

905

00:26:07,332 --> 00:26:09,034

We were on a very good crew.

 

906

00:26:09,034 --> 00:26:11,169

Our guys. I mean, they were like an 80.

 

907

00:26:11,169 --> 00:26:12,437

Not that we're any part of it.

 

908

00:26:12,437 --> 00:26:13,672

We were learning from these journeymen.

 

909

00:26:13,672 --> 00:26:15,840

They were fantastic craftsmen.

 

910

00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,743

And and we did concrete stairs, right?

 

911

00:26:18,743 --> 00:26:20,078

I mean, everything we do was concrete.

 

912

00:26:20,078 --> 00:26:20,912

We put in concrete.

 

913

00:26:20,912 --> 00:26:22,047

We did concrete floors.

 

914

00:26:22,047 --> 00:26:24,583

We got the we've already huge jobs.

 

915

00:26:24,583 --> 00:26:27,152

But in that world of carpentry

 

916

00:26:27,152 --> 00:26:29,120

and formwork,

 

917

00:26:29,120 --> 00:26:30,088

if you're doing stairs,

 

918

00:26:30,088 --> 00:26:31,323

you're you got to be a stud.

 

919

00:26:31,323 --> 00:26:32,257

You got to be pretty good

 

920

00:26:32,257 --> 00:26:33,124

because it ain't like,

 

921

00:26:33,124 --> 00:26:33,425

you know,

 

922

00:26:33,425 --> 00:26:34,926

okay, I got to tear this out, this

 

923

00:26:34,926 --> 00:26:35,727

this riser out,

 

924

00:26:35,727 --> 00:26:36,995

because it's not the right size

 

925

00:26:36,995 --> 00:26:38,163

you pour concrete

 

926

00:26:38,163 --> 00:26:39,331

in rebar

 

927

00:26:39,331 --> 00:26:41,099

is jackhammer time getting it out?

 

928

00:26:41,099 --> 00:26:41,700

You know what I mean?

 

929

00:26:41,700 --> 00:26:42,867

And you just can't make a mistake.

 

930

00:26:42,867 --> 00:26:43,568

So the

 

931

00:26:43,568 --> 00:26:44,469

the stairs were left

 

932

00:26:44,469 --> 00:26:46,638

to the best craftsmen on the job.

 

933

00:26:46,638 --> 00:26:47,238

Well, this guy,

 

934

00:26:47,238 --> 00:26:49,174

who was a horrible carpenter,

 

935

00:26:49,174 --> 00:26:50,108

got away from us.

 

936

00:26:50,108 --> 00:26:51,409

He went out in other jobs.

 

937

00:26:51,409 --> 00:26:52,811

We hadn't seen him in a couple years.

 

938

00:26:52,811 --> 00:26:53,945

Whatever, You know, everybody

 

939

00:26:53,945 --> 00:26:54,813

to make fun of the guy.

 

940

00:26:54,813 --> 00:26:56,514

I mean, I used to call him Peaches.

 

941

00:26:56,514 --> 00:26:58,550

I don't know why, but it stuck.

 

942

00:26:58,550 --> 00:26:59,551

You know, he was nicknames

 

943

00:26:59,551 --> 00:27:00,819

and it just bug the hell out of them.

 

944

00:27:00,819 --> 00:27:01,886

So unfortunate.

 

945

00:27:01,886 --> 00:27:02,387

Let us know

 

946

00:27:02,387 --> 00:27:03,121

they bugged the hell out of

 

947

00:27:03,121 --> 00:27:04,756

because that became his name.

 

948

00:27:04,756 --> 00:27:06,157

So anyhow,

 

949

00:27:06,157 --> 00:27:07,125

fast forward about a year

 

950

00:27:07,125 --> 00:27:08,326

and a half or two years.

 

951

00:27:08,326 --> 00:27:10,762

He drives by our job site one day

 

952

00:27:10,762 --> 00:27:11,730

and we still remember him

 

953

00:27:11,730 --> 00:27:12,497

as the goofy kid

 

954

00:27:12,497 --> 00:27:13,999

who was not very good, right?

 

955

00:27:13,999 --> 00:27:16,434

So we said, Hey, man, how you doing?

 

956

00:27:16,434 --> 00:27:17,268

He goes, me?

 

957

00:27:17,268 --> 00:27:18,703

You know, I'm doing pretty good now.

 

958

00:27:18,703 --> 00:27:19,504

I'm working on his crew

 

959

00:27:19,504 --> 00:27:20,372

over in San Francisco.

 

960

00:27:20,372 --> 00:27:21,373

He goes, I've been

 

961

00:27:21,373 --> 00:27:23,608

running into a lot of stairs.

 

962

00:27:23,675 --> 00:27:25,110

So the journeyman that

 

963

00:27:25,110 --> 00:27:26,878

used to be is journeyman tangos.

 

964

00:27:26,878 --> 00:27:32,417

I want you to pick up your damn feet

 

965

00:27:32,517 --> 00:27:33,318

and right away,

 

966

00:27:33,318 --> 00:27:35,553

back to pieces all over again.

 

967

00:27:35,553 --> 00:27:37,422

Poor kid.

 

968

00:27:37,422 --> 00:27:37,889

All right.

 

969

00:27:37,889 --> 00:27:39,624

I don't know what we were.

 

970

00:27:39,624 --> 00:27:41,059

I was doing an estimate one day,

 

971

00:27:41,059 --> 00:27:41,993

and they had, like,

 

972

00:27:41,993 --> 00:27:44,029

a set of construction stairs,

 

973

00:27:44,029 --> 00:27:46,331

and the guy says,

 

974

00:27:46,331 --> 00:27:47,666

You know, I don't want anything fancy.

 

975

00:27:47,666 --> 00:27:49,801

Do you do stairs? I go, No, I don't know.

 

976

00:27:49,801 --> 00:27:51,369

You know, never, never.

 

977

00:27:51,369 --> 00:27:55,540

We never really did you know.

 

978

00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,876

So he goes east

 

979

00:27:57,876 --> 00:27:58,977

because I didn't think it would be them.

 

980

00:27:58,977 --> 00:27:59,377

I go, Well,

 

981

00:27:59,377 --> 00:28:01,146

let me do a little research, you know,

 

982

00:28:01,146 --> 00:28:02,313

now I know I've seen stair

 

983

00:28:02,313 --> 00:28:05,150

treads and risers from the distributor.

 

984

00:28:05,150 --> 00:28:06,618

I was doing business there.

 

985

00:28:06,618 --> 00:28:08,119

So I went talk to a few guys

 

986

00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:09,721

and one guy was telling me

 

987

00:28:09,721 --> 00:28:11,256

he goes, Yeah, it's not that hard.

 

988

00:28:11,256 --> 00:28:13,291

You know, it's, you know,

 

989

00:28:13,358 --> 00:28:14,526

really pretty simple.

 

990

00:28:14,526 --> 00:28:16,327

All right.

 

991

00:28:16,327 --> 00:28:18,196

I give the guy a quote on the stairs.

 

992

00:28:18,196 --> 00:28:20,532

I think it was 12 steps

 

993

00:28:20,532 --> 00:28:24,002

and I think I quoted him like

 

994

00:28:24,069 --> 00:28:26,137

1400 dollars.

 

995

00:28:26,137 --> 00:28:26,571

Okay.

 

996

00:28:26,571 --> 00:28:26,838

You know,

 

997

00:28:26,838 --> 00:28:28,907

it was like I figured 100 a step,

 

998

00:28:28,907 --> 00:28:31,376

and then I threw an extra 200 and

 

999

00:28:31,376 --> 00:28:34,179

just for shits and giggles

 

1000

00:28:34,179 --> 00:28:36,815

and boom,

 

1001

00:28:36,815 --> 00:28:39,484

the guy couldn't say yes fast enough.

 

1002

00:28:39,484 --> 00:28:40,685

Like,

 

1003

00:28:40,685 --> 00:28:41,586

I swear

 

1004

00:28:41,586 --> 00:28:43,221

he was acting like he wanted to pay me.

 

1005

00:28:43,221 --> 00:28:43,888

Right? Right.

 

1006

00:28:43,888 --> 00:28:45,323

Then when I just said,

 

1007

00:28:45,323 --> 00:28:46,357

you know, Yeah, here's.

 

1008

00:28:46,357 --> 00:28:47,325

Yeah, I'll do the stairs.

 

1009

00:28:47,325 --> 00:28:51,062

This right.

 

1010

00:28:51,129 --> 00:28:53,398

So I go home, I go back.

 

1011

00:28:53,398 --> 00:28:54,933

The next day I started to do it

 

1012

00:28:54,933 --> 00:28:55,767

and then finally

 

1013

00:28:55,767 --> 00:28:56,801

that's kind of bugging me.

 

1014

00:28:56,801 --> 00:28:59,804

I'm like, These are my price, my, my.

 

1015

00:28:59,804 --> 00:29:02,140

I may be a little low here, right?

 

1016

00:29:02,140 --> 00:29:05,510

Yeah. So I said to the guy, he

 

1017

00:29:05,577 --> 00:29:06,878

was my price low.

 

1018

00:29:06,878 --> 00:29:08,747

Is that why you were so happy?

 

1019

00:29:08,747 --> 00:29:14,018

He goes low,

 

1020

00:29:14,085 --> 00:29:14,519

he goes

 

1021

00:29:14,519 --> 00:29:15,487

the other guy,

 

1022

00:29:15,487 --> 00:29:18,389

the stair guy that we were going to have,

 

1023

00:29:18,389 --> 00:29:21,392

he was going to charge $5,000

 

1024

00:29:21,392 --> 00:29:23,561

now. Yeah.

 

1025

00:29:23,561 --> 00:29:26,097

Now I really had a lot of problems

 

1026

00:29:26,097 --> 00:29:27,232

sleeping.

 

1027

00:29:27,232 --> 00:29:28,266

Yeah,

 

1028

00:29:28,266 --> 00:29:30,335

I don't think that I could have said

 

1029

00:29:30,335 --> 00:29:32,670

four grand.

 

1030

00:29:32,670 --> 00:29:33,338

It was a lot.

 

1031

00:29:33,338 --> 00:29:33,972

And I still.

 

1032

00:29:33,972 --> 00:29:35,874

He still would have been right.

 

1033

00:29:35,874 --> 00:29:38,543

I saved a grand.

 

1034

00:29:38,543 --> 00:29:40,311

And here I am doing figures

 

1035

00:29:40,311 --> 00:29:41,746

figuring out how much it is

 

1036

00:29:41,746 --> 00:29:46,184

going to cost and all my.

 

1037

00:29:46,284 --> 00:29:48,319

So yeah, when I found out what stair

 

1038

00:29:48,319 --> 00:29:48,620

organize

 

1039

00:29:48,620 --> 00:29:51,256

your charge and I turned into a stair

 

1040

00:29:51,256 --> 00:29:52,090

I'm stair guy.

 

1041

00:29:52,090 --> 00:29:53,725

Yeah. I can do stairs.

 

1042

00:29:53,725 --> 00:29:56,928

Absolutely. Yeah.

 

1043

00:29:56,995 --> 00:29:57,228

Yeah.

 

1044

00:29:57,228 --> 00:29:58,029

I'll figure it out.

 

1045

00:29:58,029 --> 00:29:59,731

Don't worry about it. I'm a carpenter.

 

1046

00:29:59,731 --> 00:30:01,599

It's just

 

1047

00:30:01,666 --> 00:30:02,801

remind me if I forget

 

1048

00:30:02,801 --> 00:30:03,768

to tell you the best dare

 

1049

00:30:03,768 --> 00:30:06,037

jig ever made on planet Earth

 

1050

00:30:06,037 --> 00:30:07,672

and is nothing.

 

1051

00:30:07,672 --> 00:30:09,174

I'll get into it on the next show.

 

1052

00:30:09,174 --> 00:30:09,507

There you go.

 

1053

00:30:09,507 --> 00:30:11,142

That'll be a teaser for the guys.

 

1054

00:30:11,142 --> 00:30:12,477

Okay,

 

1055

00:30:12,477 --> 00:30:14,279

So thank you for listening, everybody.

 

1056

00:30:14,279 --> 00:30:16,181

And this has been another episode

 

1057

00:30:16,181 --> 00:30:18,116

of On the Floor with Wayne and Rob,

 

1058

00:30:18,116 --> 00:30:19,284

as they do for another episode.
