That's. Yeah.
59
00:02:01,087 --> 00:02:02,589

95
00:03:05,718 --> 00:03:07,153
Yeah, absolutely.
96
00:03:07,153 --> 00:03:07,587
It's funny
97
00:03:07,587 --> 00:03:10,190
you said those names because
98
00:03:10,190 --> 00:03:11,591

00:03:13,259 --> 00:03:14,694
you know, knew their stuff,
101
00:03:14,694 --> 00:03:15,929
but didn't beat you over the head
102
00:03:15,929 --> 00:03:16,462
with it.
103
00:03:16,462 --> 00:03:18,631
Very easy to guys to learn from.

get this right because I is
107
00:03:26,139 --> 00:03:29,809
just I just crept up in a typical typical
108
00:03:29,842 --> 00:03:32,011
I think might have been the first one.
109
00:03:32,011 --> 00:03:34,347
So, a lot of good, a lot of good,
110
00:03:34,347 --> 00:03:35,481

111
00:03:35,481 --> 00:03:35,915
in that role
112
00:03:35,915 --> 00:03:37,817
that, Brett had and he played
113
00:03:37,817 --> 00:03:39,619
he wore a lot of hats in that,
114
00:03:39,619 --> 00:03:41,955
in that role in the leadership.
115
00:03:41,955 --> 00:03:42,488
And they became
116
00:03:42,488 --> 00:03:43,623
a really good public speaker.
117
00:03:43,623 --> 00:03:44,157
And what have you.
118
00:03:44,157 --> 00:03:45,358
So, you know, it's
119
00:03:45,358 --> 00:03:47,827
nice to see him grow in the role
120
00:03:47,827 --> 00:03:48,595
and just get better
121
00:03:48,595 --> 00:03:50,163
and better and thriving.
122
00:03:50,163 --> 00:03:51,297

00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:01,174
That you
127
00:04:01,174 --> 00:04:02,442
be leaving Boehner
128
00:04:02,442 --> 00:04:05,445
to take over the new role in WFA?
129
00:04:08,414 --> 00:04:11,651
That is the million dollar question.
130
00:04:11,651 --> 00:04:13,386
Who?
131
00:04:13,386 --> 00:04:14,187
I know there's going to be
132
00:04:14,187 --> 00:04:17,190
a lot of people lined up for that job.
133
00:04:18,124 --> 00:04:19,292
Yeah.
134
00:04:19,292 --> 00:04:20,326
And I was thinking about you
135
00:04:20,326 --> 00:04:21,594
as a trainer, too.
136
00:04:21,594 --> 00:04:22,829
I mean, as as many.
137
00:04:22,829 --> 00:04:23,263
We talked.
138
00:04:23,263 --> 00:04:24,230
You were coming home last night
139
00:04:24,230 --> 00:04:26,165
about 4 or 5 hour drive.
140
00:04:26,165 --> 00:04:28,434
And as many, schools
141
00:04:28,434 --> 00:04:30,069
have you done, and you do a ton.
142
00:04:30,069 --> 00:04:31,004
I mean, you're busy
143
00:04:31,004 --> 00:04:32,138
from now to the end of the year,
144
00:04:32,138 --> 00:04:34,274
except for
145
00:04:34,274 --> 00:04:37,377
I'm on a clip right now of 18
146
00:04:37,377 --> 00:04:40,780
cities, 19 cities in 16 weeks.
147
00:04:43,383 --> 00:04:46,386
It's like a rock n roll band, isn't it?
148
00:04:46,486 --> 00:04:49,489
It.
149
00:04:49,856 --> 00:04:50,623
All right.
150
00:04:50,623 --> 00:04:51,758
There. All right.
151
00:04:51,758 --> 00:04:53,826
Once in a while, I do forget what Roma.
152
00:04:53,826 --> 00:04:55,995
Me and I got to look at my key again.
153
00:04:55,995 --> 00:04:57,096
Yeah.
154
00:04:57,096 --> 00:04:59,499
So, you know, with all that
155
00:04:59,499 --> 00:05:01,367
and there's pressure on you to,
156
00:05:01,367 --> 00:05:03,336
to perform because you get there.
157
00:05:03,336 --> 00:05:04,937
I mean, if you if you can't show up,
158
00:05:04,937 --> 00:05:06,606
I mean, you can't have a sick day, right?
159
00:05:07,974 --> 00:05:10,810
What's what's the worst time?
160
00:05:10,810 --> 00:05:12,845
You've been, like, totally out of it.
161
00:05:12,845 --> 00:05:13,579
And I just
162
00:05:13,579 --> 00:05:15,748
I have to show up because I just.
163
00:05:15,748 --> 00:05:17,550
I just can't let them down. I'm.
164
00:05:17,550 --> 00:05:17,817
You know,
165
00:05:17,817 --> 00:05:18,451
I thought we were going
166
00:05:18,451 --> 00:05:21,454
to keep this to ourselves.
167
00:05:26,092 --> 00:05:27,694
You know,
168
00:05:27,694 --> 00:05:30,697
I may never let this story down.
169
00:05:36,402 --> 00:05:37,270
I told you this
170
00:05:37,270 --> 00:05:40,239
in complete confidence.
171
00:05:41,541 --> 00:05:44,110
And the first thing you want to do,
172
00:05:44,110 --> 00:05:45,712
the first thing you said to me was,
173
00:05:45,712 --> 00:05:46,846
oh, we get you
174
00:05:46,846 --> 00:05:49,849
to tell that story on the show.
175
00:05:52,518 --> 00:05:55,521
Oh, man.
176
00:05:56,022 --> 00:05:56,956
All right.
177
00:05:56,956 --> 00:05:59,959
178
00:06:02,595 --> 00:06:03,262
We should.
179
00:06:03,262 --> 00:06:04,897
We might get canceled.
180
00:06:04,897 --> 00:06:07,600
That this might be the last show.
181
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:08,468
Yeah.
182
00:06:08,468 --> 00:06:09,569
And here's this.
183
00:06:09,569 --> 00:06:10,269
That's it.
184
00:06:10,269 --> 00:06:13,005
It could be over.
185
00:06:13,005 --> 00:06:15,875
So this could be our last one.
186
00:06:15,875 --> 00:06:18,878
Everybody.
187
00:06:18,911 --> 00:06:20,380
You frickin better.
188
00:06:20,380 --> 00:06:23,383
Was your idea?
189
00:06:24,250 --> 00:06:26,352
Well,
190
00:06:29,455 --> 00:06:32,024
So, So what?
191
00:06:32,024 --> 00:06:35,027
You and I were talking, and,
192
00:06:35,495 --> 00:06:37,530
And we're not definitely not
193
00:06:37,530 --> 00:06:40,533
going to mention any names and,
194
00:06:41,968 --> 00:06:44,170
guy was supposed to show up for work
195
00:06:44,170 --> 00:06:45,471
one day,
196
00:06:45,471 --> 00:06:46,606
and somebody
197
00:06:46,606 --> 00:06:49,542
that was working with us said
198
00:06:49,542 --> 00:06:50,543
he can't make it today.
199
00:06:50,543 --> 00:06:53,112
He's feeling under the weather.
200
00:06:53,112 --> 00:06:55,782
And this was for a school.
201
00:06:55,782 --> 00:06:57,350
And I said,
202
00:06:57,350 --> 00:07:00,353
is he in the hospital?
203
00:07:01,821 --> 00:07:03,156
Okay.
204
00:07:03,156 --> 00:07:04,023
Is it is
205
00:07:04,023 --> 00:07:06,125
if you're not showing up for work,
206
00:07:06,125 --> 00:07:07,760
you better be in the hospital.
207
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,129
Okay? Especially
208
00:07:10,129 --> 00:07:11,264
you know, what we do,
209
00:07:11,264 --> 00:07:12,231
I think when we're doing
210
00:07:12,231 --> 00:07:15,234
schools is people
211
00:07:15,401 --> 00:07:19,238
rearrange their schedules like crazy.
212
00:07:19,806 --> 00:07:20,440
You know what I mean?
213
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:21,974
I mean,
214
00:07:21,974 --> 00:07:24,844
you know, and you know what?
215
00:07:24,844 --> 00:07:25,144
It's.
216
00:07:25,144 --> 00:07:25,578
You know what?
217
00:07:25,578 --> 00:07:26,279
It's like
218
00:07:26,279 --> 00:07:27,413
you were in the business and,
219
00:07:27,413 --> 00:07:28,080
you know,
220
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:28,881
like, the worst thing
221
00:07:28,881 --> 00:07:31,150
a flawed guy can do is take a vacation
222
00:07:31,150 --> 00:07:32,652
because he's all right, I'm
223
00:07:32,652 --> 00:07:33,820
going to take a week off.
224
00:07:33,820 --> 00:07:35,922
And now you get to work like crazy
225
00:07:35,922 --> 00:07:36,756
for three weeks
226
00:07:36,756 --> 00:07:39,625
before and crazy for three weeks after,
227
00:07:39,625 --> 00:07:42,094
just to try to make up. Right.
228
00:07:44,063 --> 00:07:44,931
So the last thing
229
00:07:44,931 --> 00:07:47,934
I want to do is
230
00:07:47,934 --> 00:07:50,670
tell somebody that,
231
00:07:50,670 --> 00:07:52,572
you know, I can't make it
232
00:07:52,572 --> 00:07:53,506
because I know
233
00:07:53,506 --> 00:07:56,509
that guys are coming to the school,
234
00:07:57,009 --> 00:07:58,978
have rearranged their schedule.
235
00:07:58,978 --> 00:08:01,981
I can't just cancel a school.
236
00:08:02,748 --> 00:08:03,549
You know what I mean?
237
00:08:03,549 --> 00:08:05,418
That you know the deal.
238
00:08:05,418 --> 00:08:07,220
We just can't do it.
239
00:08:07,220 --> 00:08:08,921
You and and same thing.
240
00:08:08,921 --> 00:08:09,789
We working.
241
00:08:09,789 --> 00:08:11,591
You couldn't call a homeowner and go,
242
00:08:11,591 --> 00:08:12,124
hey, geez.
243
00:08:12,124 --> 00:08:12,758
Like, you know,
244
00:08:12,758 --> 00:08:14,126
they get the sniffles today.
245
00:08:14,126 --> 00:08:14,894
You know, I can't.
246
00:08:14,894 --> 00:08:16,562
I can't show up because now
247
00:08:16,562 --> 00:08:19,565
you're schedule screwed up big time.
248
00:08:21,300 --> 00:08:24,303
I can't.
249
00:08:29,108 --> 00:08:30,343
All right,
250
00:08:30,343 --> 00:08:33,346
so I was talking to Wayne, and I said,
251
00:08:33,646 --> 00:08:36,315
we just can't
252
00:08:36,315 --> 00:08:37,250
cancel a school
253
00:08:37,250 --> 00:08:40,219
because you might not be feeling well.
254
00:08:40,219 --> 00:08:42,922
And.
255
00:08:42,922 --> 00:08:45,925
A while back, I wasn't feeling well.
256
00:08:46,792 --> 00:08:49,795
I don't know if I had food poisoning or
257
00:08:49,896 --> 00:08:50,563
I had something
258
00:08:51,664 --> 00:08:52,899
terribly wrong
259
00:08:52,899 --> 00:08:55,902
with me, but
260
00:08:56,102 --> 00:08:58,237
I had guys that, you know,
261
00:08:58,237 --> 00:08:59,238
there was like, 14
262
00:08:59,238 --> 00:09:02,241
guys coming to the school and,
263
00:09:02,441 --> 00:09:05,444
you know, I can't I can't cancel out.
264
00:09:06,646 --> 00:09:09,649
So I had to do this school.
265
00:09:11,250 --> 00:09:14,253
And like I said, I was feeling
266
00:09:14,554 --> 00:09:16,822
pretty, pretty bad.
267
00:09:16,822 --> 00:09:18,991
There was stuff
268
00:09:18,991 --> 00:09:21,093
coming out of me all over the place.
269
00:09:21,093 --> 00:09:22,428
It was bad.
270
00:09:22,428 --> 00:09:23,229
I don't know if it's food
271
00:09:23,229 --> 00:09:26,198
poisoning or what, but.
272
00:09:27,767 --> 00:09:28,234
So I said,
273
00:09:28,234 --> 00:09:31,237
I can't cancel the school, but.
274
00:09:33,139 --> 00:09:35,741
How do I say this?
275
00:09:35,741 --> 00:09:38,711
I.
276
00:09:38,711 --> 00:09:40,947
Like they said in jaws,
277
00:09:40,947 --> 00:09:41,948
I'm not going to sit here
278
00:09:41,948 --> 00:09:43,082
and watch that kitten or boy
279
00:09:43,082 --> 00:09:46,085
spill out all over the dock.
280
00:09:46,419 --> 00:09:48,421
So
281
00:09:48,421 --> 00:09:51,057
I said, well, I got to take some kind of
282
00:09:51,057 --> 00:09:54,060
precautions here.
283
00:09:54,527 --> 00:09:57,196
Talk.
284
00:09:57,196 --> 00:09:59,732
So I went to Kmart and are not.
285
00:09:59,732 --> 00:10:01,500
Okay. Show me.
286
00:10:01,500 --> 00:10:03,603
I went to Walmart and I.
287
00:10:04,570 --> 00:10:05,004
I thought,
288
00:10:05,004 --> 00:10:08,240
All right, I gotta I gotta buy some.
289
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:09,609
Depends.
290
00:10:09,609 --> 00:10:12,612
I got I.
291
00:10:12,712 --> 00:10:13,713
I can't believe
292
00:10:13,713 --> 00:10:16,716
we're doing this.
293
00:10:18,918 --> 00:10:20,519
Look, I know I got to lose weight.
294
00:10:20,519 --> 00:10:21,354
I know I'm big.
295
00:10:21,354 --> 00:10:23,422
You don't gotta tell me, okay?
296
00:10:23,422 --> 00:10:25,558
I had to get extra large.
297
00:10:25,558 --> 00:10:27,026
298
00:10:27,026 --> 00:10:27,727
Yeah.
299
00:10:27,727 --> 00:10:30,262
So
300
00:10:30,262 --> 00:10:32,331
it was just a precaution.
301
00:10:32,331 --> 00:10:35,334
And that's all it was for.
302
00:10:35,668 --> 00:10:38,170
Okay. Have you ever.
303
00:10:38,170 --> 00:10:41,173
Have you ever bought them before?
304
00:10:48,114 --> 00:10:50,349
You know, first off, I just,
305
00:10:50,349 --> 00:10:52,084
All right, I'm just going to get,
306
00:10:52,084 --> 00:10:54,086
you know, 1 or 2.
307
00:10:54,086 --> 00:10:57,089
I know they don't sell them like that.
308
00:10:57,623 --> 00:11:00,226
They know it's like a giant economy,
309
00:11:00,226 --> 00:11:03,229
but it's like four dozen in a box.
310
00:11:04,030 --> 00:11:06,966
Like, Oh my God.
311
00:11:06,966 --> 00:11:09,068
You know,
312
00:11:09,068 --> 00:11:10,236
what the hell?
313
00:11:10,236 --> 00:11:13,472
This is insane how much you have to.
314
00:11:13,939 --> 00:11:17,109
You know, I just wanted, you know, send
315
00:11:17,743 --> 00:11:20,479
a sample pack or something to argue with.
316
00:11:20,479 --> 00:11:23,182
No. Thank God for self-checkout.
317
00:11:25,451 --> 00:11:26,118
So I hey.
318
00:11:26,118 --> 00:11:27,219
So.
319
00:11:27,219 --> 00:11:27,920
And then,
320
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:29,789
you know, I'm trying to put it in a bag,
321
00:11:29,789 --> 00:11:30,623
but they're so big,
322
00:11:30,623 --> 00:11:32,124
you can barely get them in a bag,
323
00:11:32,124 --> 00:11:34,093
and I like,
324
00:11:34,093 --> 00:11:35,628
And then I'm walking out the door.
325
00:11:35,628 --> 00:11:36,962
Try it.
326
00:11:36,962 --> 00:11:37,463
I'm thinking,
327
00:11:37,463 --> 00:11:40,466
please, God, don't let me see anybody
328
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,869
that I've ever met in my entire life.
329
00:11:43,869 --> 00:11:45,938
Okay.
330
00:11:45,938 --> 00:11:47,907
I figured, you know, I figure it all.
331
00:11:47,907 --> 00:11:49,608
I'll probably bump into my old girlfriend
332
00:11:49,608 --> 00:11:51,210
from school or something like that.
333
00:11:51,210 --> 00:11:51,677
That would.
334
00:11:51,677 --> 00:11:53,979
Oh. What do you got there? No, nothing.
335
00:11:53,979 --> 00:11:55,748
No, nothing.
336
00:11:55,748 --> 00:11:57,883
And then I'm thinking, oh, jeez.
337
00:11:57,883 --> 00:11:59,719
Now I gotta get.
338
00:11:59,719 --> 00:12:00,453
I gotta get by
339
00:12:00,453 --> 00:12:03,456
the guy who checks out your bag.
340
00:12:03,522 --> 00:12:04,390
You know what I mean?
341
00:12:04,390 --> 00:12:05,424
That guy who says,
342
00:12:05,424 --> 00:12:06,459
hey, give me your receipt.
343
00:12:06,459 --> 00:12:06,892
Let me tell you.
344
00:12:06,892 --> 00:12:08,928
What do you got in there? I was like,
345
00:12:10,196 --> 00:12:10,429
yeah.
346
00:12:10,429 --> 00:12:11,197
I figured I was just
347
00:12:11,197 --> 00:12:13,632
going to drop and run, and.
348
00:12:13,632 --> 00:12:16,635
But he, maybe he saw me, and he just.
349
00:12:17,870 --> 00:12:18,304
It is.
350
00:12:18,304 --> 00:12:19,338
Waved me through.
351
00:12:19,338 --> 00:12:21,941
No, I didn't I didn't try him out.
352
00:12:21,941 --> 00:12:23,109
Okay, then.
353
00:12:23,109 --> 00:12:25,745
No, I didn't I didn't need him.
354
00:12:25,745 --> 00:12:26,479
I didn't need it.
355
00:12:26,479 --> 00:12:28,347
It was a precaution.
356
00:12:28,347 --> 00:12:29,882
357
00:12:29,882 --> 00:12:31,083
Oh I had it on.
358
00:12:31,083 --> 00:12:32,618
I did the whole.
359
00:12:32,618 --> 00:12:35,621
Yeah, yeah.
360
00:12:35,888 --> 00:12:37,690
They're not very comfortable either,
361
00:12:37,690 --> 00:12:39,492
let me tell you.
362
00:12:39,492 --> 00:12:39,859
Yeah.
363
00:12:39,859 --> 00:12:41,460
You're not going to see me do it.
364
00:12:41,460 --> 00:12:42,394
I love these people
365
00:12:42,394 --> 00:12:43,462
doing commercials for them.
366
00:12:43,462 --> 00:12:44,530
And they're playing tennis.
367
00:12:44,530 --> 00:12:46,332
And, you know, just having a ball,
368
00:12:46,332 --> 00:12:46,966
I,
369
00:12:46,966 --> 00:12:49,969
you know, the shame that I was feeling.
370
00:12:50,136 --> 00:12:52,538
But it would have been worse.
371
00:12:52,538 --> 00:12:53,139
Like I said,
372
00:12:53,139 --> 00:12:54,673
if the Kettner boys spilled out
373
00:12:54,673 --> 00:12:55,641
all over the dock,
374
00:12:55,641 --> 00:12:58,644
that that would have been, you know.
375
00:12:58,944 --> 00:13:00,212
I think you should have tried them
376
00:13:00,212 --> 00:13:01,480
out, though. You bottom.
377
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,115
See what he's getting. Can do.
378
00:13:03,115 --> 00:13:04,450
What do you mean? Try it out.
379
00:13:04,450 --> 00:13:05,684
Like, really use it.
380
00:13:05,684 --> 00:13:07,419
You. I put them on. Yeah.
381
00:13:08,921 --> 00:13:11,323
No.
382
00:13:11,323 --> 00:13:14,326
Yeah.
383
00:13:22,434 --> 00:13:23,636
Oh.
384
00:13:23,636 --> 00:13:26,639
Oh.
385
00:13:28,974 --> 00:13:31,977
Yeah.
386
00:13:32,278 --> 00:13:33,379
They are not comfortable.
387
00:13:33,379 --> 00:13:34,914
Yeah. I mean, they're.
388
00:13:34,914 --> 00:13:37,383
Yeah, they're they're not comfortable.
389
00:13:37,383 --> 00:13:38,184
I love when they.
390
00:13:38,184 --> 00:13:39,785
When you put for anybody diapers
391
00:13:39,785 --> 00:13:40,486
for babies.
392
00:13:40,486 --> 00:13:40,820
They have.
393
00:13:40,820 --> 00:13:43,322
There's names like Huggies and Love
394
00:13:43,322 --> 00:13:45,825
and the adult diapers,
395
00:13:45,825 --> 00:13:46,725
they call them the pens.
396
00:13:46,725 --> 00:13:48,060
And I think they call them the pens,
397
00:13:48,060 --> 00:13:49,862
because who's going to change them?
398
00:13:49,862 --> 00:13:50,329
Well, it depends
399
00:13:50,329 --> 00:13:51,997
if you're in the will or not.
400
00:13:51,997 --> 00:13:55,000
You know what I mean?
401
00:13:57,403 --> 00:13:58,871
I cannot believe
402
00:13:58,871 --> 00:14:00,639
that this story is out there.
403
00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:02,608
Now, every person who comes to a school,
404
00:14:02,608 --> 00:14:03,876
they're going to, you know,
405
00:14:03,876 --> 00:14:05,377
slap me in the ass or something,
406
00:14:05,377 --> 00:14:08,380
see if they can hear the plastic.
407
00:14:17,389 --> 00:14:19,058
Yeah, well, the secret's out now.
408
00:14:19,058 --> 00:14:20,092
That's it.
409
00:14:20,092 --> 00:14:20,426
Yeah.
410
00:14:20,426 --> 00:14:23,495
Now everybody's going to be a a you.
411
00:14:23,829 --> 00:14:25,631
Hey. Hey, Huggy.
412
00:14:25,631 --> 00:14:27,633
Huggy bear. Yeah.
413
00:14:27,633 --> 00:14:29,001
Hey, hey,
414
00:14:30,769 --> 00:14:32,504
you packing right now?
415
00:14:32,504 --> 00:14:35,507
You it,
416
00:14:38,177 --> 00:14:39,311
But I ain't that.
417
00:14:39,311 --> 00:14:41,113
I couldn't
418
00:14:41,113 --> 00:14:43,382
I couldn't not do the school,
419
00:14:43,382 --> 00:14:45,050
you know what I mean?
420
00:14:45,050 --> 00:14:45,951
I could not do
421
00:14:45,951 --> 00:14:48,621
the school, and I couldn't.
422
00:14:48,621 --> 00:14:50,723
You
423
00:14:50,723 --> 00:14:53,726
right.
424
00:14:55,527 --> 00:14:58,030
Oh my gosh.
425
00:14:58,030 --> 00:14:58,564
Yeah.
426
00:14:58,564 --> 00:15:02,034
And, Wow, that was a that was a tough,
427
00:15:02,568 --> 00:15:03,502
tough day.
428
00:15:03,502 --> 00:15:06,105
That was a tough one. But got through it.
429
00:15:06,105 --> 00:15:07,339
through it. You made it.
430
00:15:07,339 --> 00:15:08,107
All right,
431
00:15:08,107 --> 00:15:09,975
so you talk about Brett Miller,
432
00:15:09,975 --> 00:15:11,710
and you talk about,
433
00:15:11,710 --> 00:15:13,779
So how do we go from Brett Miller to.
434
00:15:13,779 --> 00:15:16,782
Depends.
435
00:15:17,249 --> 00:15:18,784
Boy, you couldn't you couldn't
436
00:15:18,784 --> 00:15:23,522
wait for that, You could not wait.
437
00:15:23,522 --> 00:15:24,990
I, I can't even believe
438
00:15:24,990 --> 00:15:26,091
I told you the story.
439
00:15:26,091 --> 00:15:29,094
And now you know.
440
00:15:29,261 --> 00:15:30,896
Now it's out there.
441
00:15:30,896 --> 00:15:32,197
story started out,
442
00:15:32,197 --> 00:15:33,332
just some some guy
443
00:15:33,332 --> 00:15:34,433
that there was a city
444
00:15:34,433 --> 00:15:35,901
that didn't, didn't show up
445
00:15:35,901 --> 00:15:37,536
because he had a few sniffles.
446
00:15:37,536 --> 00:15:39,939
And that's how I progressed into to this.
447
00:15:39,939 --> 00:15:42,308
So we talk about how you gotta show up.
448
00:15:42,308 --> 00:15:44,176
You gotta answer the bell no matter what.
449
00:15:44,176 --> 00:15:45,511
And, you answered the bill.
450
00:15:45,511 --> 00:15:46,245
That's all that matters.
451
00:15:48,580 --> 00:15:49,348
The.
452
00:15:49,348 --> 00:15:52,351
The bell of shame.
453
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:55,421
All right.
454
00:15:55,421 --> 00:15:57,790
Fire safety.
455
00:15:57,790 --> 00:15:59,491
This is something that we've talked
456
00:15:59,491 --> 00:16:00,259
about before.
457
00:16:00,259 --> 00:16:01,360
And I think when we also,
458
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:02,428
you and I were talking
459
00:16:02,428 --> 00:16:03,295
about Britain earlier
460
00:16:03,295 --> 00:16:05,064
last night and whatever.
461
00:16:05,064 --> 00:16:07,399
And you mentioned that he mentioned,
462
00:16:07,399 --> 00:16:09,902
your fire speeds that you do.
463
00:16:09,902 --> 00:16:11,036
And I don't know about you,
464
00:16:11,036 --> 00:16:13,372
but I've seen more fires in the last year
465
00:16:13,372 --> 00:16:15,174
and a half than I've seen in
466
00:16:15,174 --> 00:16:15,975
probably the five years.
467
00:16:15,975 --> 00:16:16,809
And I don't know why,
468
00:16:16,809 --> 00:16:17,609
but it seems like there's
469
00:16:17,609 --> 00:16:19,311
been a rash of fires,
470
00:16:19,311 --> 00:16:22,314
and it takes one rag to ruin your career.
471
00:16:22,681 --> 00:16:23,549
One, two.
472
00:16:23,549 --> 00:16:24,750
And we're coming up on winter
473
00:16:24,750 --> 00:16:25,484
like that doesn't
474
00:16:25,484 --> 00:16:26,618
makes no difference at all.
475
00:16:26,618 --> 00:16:28,220
He we've we've seen the rags
476
00:16:28,220 --> 00:16:30,189
catch on fire on a snowbank.
477
00:16:30,189 --> 00:16:32,358
So I think is a good time
478
00:16:32,358 --> 00:16:34,059
that and if I had employees
479
00:16:34,059 --> 00:16:35,794
I want them to really listen to this
480
00:16:35,794 --> 00:16:37,629
because this is an important podcast.
481
00:16:39,665 --> 00:16:40,466
About fire.
482
00:16:40,466 --> 00:16:41,967
And nobody does this better than you.
483
00:16:41,967 --> 00:16:42,668
So maybe you could
484
00:16:42,668 --> 00:16:43,669
you could give that again.
485
00:16:43,669 --> 00:16:44,436
Rob.
486
00:16:44,436 --> 00:16:45,771
Well, I was doing a class
487
00:16:45,771 --> 00:16:47,840
this week in Montreal.
488
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,677
And, you know, right away, of course.
489
00:16:51,677 --> 00:16:54,680
And it actually, there was a lot of,
490
00:16:54,913 --> 00:16:56,715
a lot of call for,
491
00:16:56,715 --> 00:16:58,283
are we going to be doing chroma?
492
00:16:58,283 --> 00:17:00,085
Can we do chroma?
493
00:17:00,085 --> 00:17:03,789
And, so, like every class, you know,
494
00:17:03,789 --> 00:17:05,791
we always talked about the fire safety
495
00:17:05,791 --> 00:17:06,759
with the oil stained
496
00:17:06,759 --> 00:17:08,694
rags, dust, whatever.
497
00:17:08,694 --> 00:17:10,996
And,
498
00:17:10,996 --> 00:17:11,764
if you've ever been
499
00:17:11,764 --> 00:17:13,465
to one of my classes, you.
500
00:17:13,465 --> 00:17:16,101
Whenever I say anybody,
501
00:17:16,101 --> 00:17:18,037
anybody ever had an issue,
502
00:17:18,037 --> 00:17:21,006
ever had a fire?
503
00:17:21,006 --> 00:17:22,608
It it's
504
00:17:22,608 --> 00:17:24,610
usually more than half of the hands
505
00:17:24,610 --> 00:17:26,145
go up.
506
00:17:26,145 --> 00:17:27,613
And that's when I really want.
507
00:17:27,613 --> 00:17:28,447
And,
508
00:17:28,447 --> 00:17:30,149
I will always tell everybody
509
00:17:30,149 --> 00:17:32,117
if your hand isn't up
510
00:17:32,117 --> 00:17:33,652
or you're new to the game,
511
00:17:34,787 --> 00:17:36,522
turn around, take a look around.
512
00:17:36,522 --> 00:17:38,290
Look how many hands are up.
513
00:17:38,290 --> 00:17:39,625
Okay?
514
00:17:39,625 --> 00:17:40,259
And then I'll have
515
00:17:40,259 --> 00:17:43,195
everybody tell their story.
516
00:17:43,195 --> 00:17:45,230
I'll let everybody tell their story
517
00:17:45,230 --> 00:17:47,466
because it.
518
00:17:47,466 --> 00:17:48,934
It could be stained rags.
519
00:17:48,934 --> 00:17:50,469
It could be a backpack.
520
00:17:50,469 --> 00:17:52,171
It could be a dust bag.
521
00:17:52,171 --> 00:17:53,739
It could be chemical
522
00:17:53,739 --> 00:17:54,606
they're working with.
523
00:17:54,606 --> 00:17:56,408
It could have been electric.
524
00:17:56,408 --> 00:17:58,677
I mean, we are just
525
00:17:58,677 --> 00:18:00,512
we are all over the map
526
00:18:00,512 --> 00:18:03,582
when it comes to ways that you can
527
00:18:04,183 --> 00:18:05,617
get bitten in this business
528
00:18:05,617 --> 00:18:06,585
with the fire stuff.
529
00:18:06,585 --> 00:18:07,753
And like you said,
530
00:18:07,753 --> 00:18:10,756
it has seemed like the last,
531
00:18:11,790 --> 00:18:12,958
last couple of years.
532
00:18:12,958 --> 00:18:14,159
I don't know if it's just
533
00:18:14,159 --> 00:18:14,927
because everybody's
534
00:18:14,927 --> 00:18:17,930
so much more tied into the internet or
535
00:18:18,363 --> 00:18:20,165
or just doing more staining,
536
00:18:20,165 --> 00:18:21,266
but man,
537
00:18:21,266 --> 00:18:24,269
there has been just a crazy amount
538
00:18:24,703 --> 00:18:25,504
of fires.
539
00:18:27,506 --> 00:18:28,607
So I'll just touch on a
540
00:18:28,607 --> 00:18:30,576
little bit on what,
541
00:18:30,576 --> 00:18:32,744
you know, what causes a stain rag fire.
542
00:18:32,744 --> 00:18:34,880
Because a lot of guys
543
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,649
no stain rags will catch on fire,
544
00:18:37,649 --> 00:18:39,751
but they're not sure
545
00:18:39,751 --> 00:18:41,353
why it's really happening.
546
00:18:41,353 --> 00:18:44,423
So, you know, with any of the stains out
547
00:18:44,423 --> 00:18:46,625
there, any oil based stain,
548
00:18:46,625 --> 00:18:49,027
it doesn't matter. The company, it.
549
00:18:49,027 --> 00:18:52,598
You know, but usually in those stains
550
00:18:52,598 --> 00:18:55,601
there's one of three oils used
551
00:18:56,001 --> 00:18:59,004
linseed, soy or vegetable.
552
00:18:59,438 --> 00:19:00,672
So when an oil is
553
00:19:00,672 --> 00:19:03,809
used, Mother nature natural product
554
00:19:04,476 --> 00:19:07,179
oil, it's her job to dry it.
555
00:19:07,179 --> 00:19:08,080
Once it oils
556
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,949
you, she's going to dry it okay.
557
00:19:10,949 --> 00:19:13,685
And she's going to dry it 1 or 2 ways.
558
00:19:13,685 --> 00:19:15,721
One would be air.
559
00:19:15,721 --> 00:19:17,156
So if you just lay them out
560
00:19:17,156 --> 00:19:19,057
and let them air dry,
561
00:19:19,057 --> 00:19:20,592
usually they're going to be harmless.
562
00:19:20,592 --> 00:19:22,094
But if you then at some guy say, yeah,
563
00:19:22,094 --> 00:19:23,896
I thought they were okay once
564
00:19:23,896 --> 00:19:25,164
I dried them, but
565
00:19:25,164 --> 00:19:26,498
maybe they weren't dried enough
566
00:19:26,498 --> 00:19:28,100
and we had an issue.
567
00:19:28,100 --> 00:19:30,135
Or the other is heat.
568
00:19:30,135 --> 00:19:31,336
And that's where the
569
00:19:31,336 --> 00:19:34,239
the heat comes in because people will,
570
00:19:34,239 --> 00:19:35,574
you know, take that rag
571
00:19:35,574 --> 00:19:37,042
and then ball it up.
572
00:19:37,042 --> 00:19:38,744
And when they ball it up,
573
00:19:38,744 --> 00:19:41,747
like so, they take away the air.
574
00:19:42,514 --> 00:19:43,015
And now
575
00:19:43,015 --> 00:19:45,150
Mother Nature starts generating heat.
576
00:19:45,150 --> 00:19:46,552
That's called oxidation.
577
00:19:47,686 --> 00:19:48,820
And that heat is so
578
00:19:48,820 --> 00:19:49,988
that she can dry the oil.
579
00:19:49,988 --> 00:19:52,991
But on the right,
580
00:19:53,559 --> 00:19:55,561
the right piece of material,
581
00:19:55,561 --> 00:19:57,129
that oxidation can lead
582
00:19:57,129 --> 00:19:59,031
to spontaneous combustion,
583
00:19:59,031 --> 00:20:01,200
which is how you get the fires.
584
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:02,768
And it's all mother Nature stuff.
585
00:20:02,768 --> 00:20:05,771
It it can't not happen,
586
00:20:06,071 --> 00:20:07,039
can't not happen.
587
00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:08,874
So
588
00:20:08,874 --> 00:20:11,410
you got to be so careful with those,
589
00:20:11,410 --> 00:20:13,812
you know,
590
00:20:13,812 --> 00:20:16,548
what we like to do
591
00:20:16,548 --> 00:20:17,816
five gallon bucket,
592
00:20:17,816 --> 00:20:19,084
a couple gallons of water,
593
00:20:19,084 --> 00:20:20,619
everything goes into the water.
594
00:20:20,619 --> 00:20:21,720
Stain rags, carpet
595
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,623
pads, whatever you use. And,
596
00:20:24,623 --> 00:20:27,092
I remember,
597
00:20:27,092 --> 00:20:30,095
bum had come to a school,
598
00:20:31,129 --> 00:20:32,364
and we're driving home
599
00:20:32,364 --> 00:20:33,398
and we're talking about it,
600
00:20:33,398 --> 00:20:33,999
and he goes, you know,
601
00:20:33,999 --> 00:20:34,900
I don't know if I believe
602
00:20:34,900 --> 00:20:37,903
that whole stain rag thing.
603
00:20:37,936 --> 00:20:39,571
And I said, really?
604
00:20:39,571 --> 00:20:41,740
You know, I go, what do you think I may?
605
00:20:41,740 --> 00:20:42,608
I said, you know, I
606
00:20:43,609 --> 00:20:44,876
talked to guys in the fire
607
00:20:44,876 --> 00:20:46,278
department, I've talked to fire
608
00:20:46,278 --> 00:20:48,280
safety, I've talked to, you know,
609
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:49,181
paint experts.
610
00:20:49,181 --> 00:20:51,250
I go, I didn't just make this up.
611
00:20:51,250 --> 00:20:54,253
This is, you know, this is what happens.
612
00:20:54,820 --> 00:20:56,154
I showed him a couple articles
613
00:20:56,154 --> 00:20:57,723
and he's like,
614
00:20:57,723 --> 00:21:00,292
because it never happened to him.
615
00:21:00,292 --> 00:21:01,860
So one Sunday he's over
616
00:21:01,860 --> 00:21:04,863
and I took a bunch of, really stoked
617
00:21:04,963 --> 00:21:06,798
stain rags, put them in the fire pit
618
00:21:06,798 --> 00:21:08,500
and black bag son's beating on him.
619
00:21:08,500 --> 00:21:11,103
I got all this single torching.
620
00:21:11,103 --> 00:21:13,438
So I said, hey, you know, here we go.
621
00:21:13,438 --> 00:21:14,640
You watching?
622
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,976
I bet 3 or 4 hours go by and nothing.
623
00:21:18,744 --> 00:21:19,845
And he's kind of looking at me
624
00:21:19,845 --> 00:21:20,579
like, yeah,
625
00:21:20,579 --> 00:21:21,647
you know, hey,
626
00:21:21,647 --> 00:21:22,848
I didn't think anything was going
627
00:21:22,848 --> 00:21:24,182
to happen, you know? And I
628
00:21:25,484 --> 00:21:27,152
so now we kind of forget about it.
629
00:21:27,152 --> 00:21:28,253
We're both sitting on the deck.
630
00:21:28,253 --> 00:21:31,056
We get our back to the pit
631
00:21:31,056 --> 00:21:32,758
and Pauline sticks her head out
632
00:21:32,758 --> 00:21:33,225
and she goes,
633
00:21:33,225 --> 00:21:35,460
why are you guys lighting a fire now?
634
00:21:35,460 --> 00:21:36,495
The kids are going home.
635
00:21:36,495 --> 00:21:38,297
Everybody's getting ready to go,
636
00:21:38,297 --> 00:21:39,431
and we turn around
637
00:21:39,431 --> 00:21:42,200
and she's just a blazing.
638
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,336
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
639
00:21:44,336 --> 00:21:47,205
And he looked at me and said,
640
00:21:47,205 --> 00:21:48,340
if I wasn't sitting next
641
00:21:48,340 --> 00:21:49,508
to you the whole time
642
00:21:49,508 --> 00:21:51,009
and know that you didn't go back, there
643
00:21:51,009 --> 00:21:51,310
he goes,
644
00:21:51,310 --> 00:21:52,511
I would swear and went back there
645
00:21:52,511 --> 00:21:53,578
and lit that thing on fire.
646
00:21:53,578 --> 00:21:55,113
He goes, I can't believe it.
647
00:21:55,113 --> 00:21:55,681
I go, yeah,
648
00:21:55,681 --> 00:21:58,684
it's it's it can't not happen.
649
00:21:59,451 --> 00:22:01,086
And
650
00:22:01,086 --> 00:22:01,520
I think
651
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,755
when guys really get jammed up with
652
00:22:03,755 --> 00:22:06,058
this is
653
00:22:06,058 --> 00:22:08,226
if they have a new guy on the job and
654
00:22:08,226 --> 00:22:09,061
they don't really
655
00:22:10,862 --> 00:22:12,497
explain to him
656
00:22:12,497 --> 00:22:15,133
how dangerous these things are, because,
657
00:22:15,133 --> 00:22:16,702
you know, the new guy,
658
00:22:16,702 --> 00:22:17,836
he just wants to help out.
659
00:22:17,836 --> 00:22:18,770
He's running around, he's
660
00:22:18,770 --> 00:22:19,838
picking up stained rags.
661
00:22:19,838 --> 00:22:22,808
He's doing this and that, and.
662
00:22:25,010 --> 00:22:26,411
Throw one in the trash.
663
00:22:26,411 --> 00:22:27,379
Okay.
664
00:22:27,379 --> 00:22:29,614
And I did a school in Jersey
665
00:22:29,614 --> 00:22:30,549
over the summer,
666
00:22:30,549 --> 00:22:33,518
and I'm doing this whole spiel right?
667
00:22:33,719 --> 00:22:35,020
And I said, new guys,
668
00:22:35,020 --> 00:22:36,688
you got to watch him
669
00:22:36,688 --> 00:22:38,423
because they might throw something away.
670
00:22:38,423 --> 00:22:41,426
And this kid jumps up out of his seat
671
00:22:41,993 --> 00:22:43,695
and runs over to a garbage
672
00:22:43,695 --> 00:22:46,231
can in my training center
673
00:22:46,231 --> 00:22:49,134
and starts pulling out stuff.
674
00:22:49,134 --> 00:22:51,036
He had put rags in there
675
00:22:51,036 --> 00:22:53,238
and then he said,
676
00:22:53,238 --> 00:22:54,106
and for some reason
677
00:22:54,106 --> 00:22:55,307
I put a bunch of sandpaper
678
00:22:55,307 --> 00:22:58,310
and stuff on top of the rags.
679
00:23:00,545 --> 00:23:02,280
Can you imagine?
680
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:03,715
Can you imagine me, Mr.
681
00:23:03,715 --> 00:23:05,450
Fire Safety, burning down
682
00:23:05,450 --> 00:23:06,651
a bow in a training center?
683
00:23:09,321 --> 00:23:09,721
But the
684
00:23:09,721 --> 00:23:10,455
kid, the way the
685
00:23:10,455 --> 00:23:12,624
kid just jumped up and ran over,
686
00:23:12,624 --> 00:23:13,658
I was like, wow.
687
00:23:13,658 --> 00:23:15,293
All right, it's somebody who's listening.
688
00:23:15,293 --> 00:23:16,862
You know?
689
00:23:16,862 --> 00:23:19,865
Somebody is listening.
690
00:23:25,170 --> 00:23:25,871
guy on the job
691
00:23:25,871 --> 00:23:28,206
and we just stain the floor dark and.
692
00:23:28,206 --> 00:23:29,641
Well, we went to lunch
693
00:23:29,641 --> 00:23:30,809
and I was talking about fire
694
00:23:30,809 --> 00:23:31,843
dusting rags out.
695
00:23:31,843 --> 00:23:33,845
You know how dangerous there was?
696
00:23:33,845 --> 00:23:35,380
Spontaneous combustion.
697
00:23:35,380 --> 00:23:38,083
So I set all the rags on the curb.
698
00:23:38,083 --> 00:23:38,950
Okay.
699
00:23:38,950 --> 00:23:40,051
We went down to a fast
700
00:23:40,051 --> 00:23:41,420
food place, Wendy's,
701
00:23:41,420 --> 00:23:43,422
and we'd gone about 45 minutes.
702
00:23:43,422 --> 00:23:43,989
An hour,
703
00:23:43,989 --> 00:23:45,957
maybe the most because we had to pick up
704
00:23:45,957 --> 00:23:47,292
after we stain the floor.
705
00:23:47,292 --> 00:23:49,661
So the rags were sitting on the curb,
706
00:23:49,661 --> 00:23:51,396
and,
707
00:23:51,396 --> 00:23:53,165
we came back and we parked in front of it
708
00:23:53,165 --> 00:23:54,032
and I could see, like,
709
00:23:54,032 --> 00:23:55,534
heat waves coming off of those rags,
710
00:23:55,534 --> 00:23:56,134
I told him, I said,
711
00:23:56,134 --> 00:23:57,836
look at those rags right now.
712
00:23:57,836 --> 00:23:59,938
Can you see the heat coming off of that?
713
00:23:59,938 --> 00:24:00,806
And he goes, yeah,
714
00:24:06,278 --> 00:24:08,680
Air.
715
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:09,548
Yeah.
716
00:24:09,548 --> 00:24:12,551
Yeah.
717
00:24:13,952 --> 00:24:16,054
This happened in Livermore, California,
718
00:24:16,054 --> 00:24:18,156
when a fire captain
719
00:24:18,156 --> 00:24:19,658
burned his house down.
720
00:24:19,658 --> 00:24:21,193
Believe it or not.
721
00:24:21,193 --> 00:24:22,727
Stained, a deck outside
722
00:24:22,727 --> 00:24:23,628
or some something.
723
00:24:23,628 --> 00:24:25,564
I think it was a deck outside.
724
00:24:25,564 --> 00:24:26,965
And believe it or not,
725
00:24:26,965 --> 00:24:29,968
put the state rags in the trash
726
00:24:33,672 --> 00:24:36,641
And that was a captain of far,
727
00:24:36,641 --> 00:24:37,742
you know, being,
728
00:24:37,742 --> 00:24:39,377
being so close to New York City.
729
00:24:39,377 --> 00:24:41,480
I do get a lot in our jersey
730
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:42,247
training center.
731
00:24:42,247 --> 00:24:45,784
I do get a lot of, firemen that,
732
00:24:46,351 --> 00:24:46,885
you know,
733
00:24:46,885 --> 00:24:49,888
you go to a New York City firehouse and
734
00:24:49,955 --> 00:24:51,256
you could build a house
735
00:24:51,256 --> 00:24:53,358
with the guys on their side jobs.
736
00:24:53,358 --> 00:24:55,193
There's always electricians, plumbers,
737
00:24:55,193 --> 00:24:55,994
you name it.
738
00:24:55,994 --> 00:24:57,295
And there's a lot of floor guys,
739
00:24:57,295 --> 00:24:58,830
even though some gym guys
740
00:24:58,830 --> 00:25:00,899
who are in the fire department.
741
00:25:00,899 --> 00:25:04,035
And, as I'm doing my explanation and
742
00:25:04,035 --> 00:25:05,003
everything, one day
743
00:25:06,438 --> 00:25:07,138
he said,
744
00:25:07,138 --> 00:25:08,139
hey, I'm from the,
745
00:25:08,139 --> 00:25:08,940
you know, New York City
746
00:25:08,940 --> 00:25:10,775
Fire Department and everything.
747
00:25:10,775 --> 00:25:13,612
And he stood up and said,
748
00:25:13,612 --> 00:25:15,280
that was one of the best explanations
749
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,749
I've ever heard anybody talk about
750
00:25:17,749 --> 00:25:19,384
stain rags and things like that.
751
00:25:19,384 --> 00:25:20,085
And then he,
752
00:25:20,085 --> 00:25:20,385
you know,
753
00:25:20,385 --> 00:25:22,220
he elaborated on what he's seen
754
00:25:22,220 --> 00:25:23,955
in the past and dust
755
00:25:23,955 --> 00:25:24,689
and things like that.
756
00:25:24,689 --> 00:25:26,491
So it was great.
757
00:25:26,491 --> 00:25:29,494
And.
758
00:25:34,633 --> 00:25:36,234
One more thing I'll talk about
759
00:25:36,234 --> 00:25:37,969
before we move on to that,
760
00:25:37,969 --> 00:25:40,972
is the chroma.
761
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,209
I tell you what, man, that is,
762
00:25:44,209 --> 00:25:47,145
it's a hard habit to break.
763
00:25:47,145 --> 00:25:48,346
Taking a chrome rag
764
00:25:48,346 --> 00:25:51,316
and just throwing it in the garbage can,
765
00:25:51,316 --> 00:25:52,517
you know what I mean?
766
00:25:52,517 --> 00:25:53,318
It's just
767
00:25:53,318 --> 00:25:55,654
it just seems insane to do that.
768
00:25:55,654 --> 00:25:58,690
But the chrome of being a water
769
00:25:58,690 --> 00:25:59,925
based product,
770
00:25:59,925 --> 00:26:01,760
you could put a fire out with chrome.
771
00:26:03,428 --> 00:26:04,829
I mean, what,
772
00:26:04,829 --> 00:26:07,165
the what a safety game changer
773
00:26:07,165 --> 00:26:09,501
that one is as far as
774
00:26:09,501 --> 00:26:10,902
getting good color on the floor,
775
00:26:10,902 --> 00:26:12,103
not having a water pop
776
00:26:12,103 --> 00:26:14,172
and never worrying
777
00:26:14,172 --> 00:26:15,874
about a stain rag again.
778
00:26:15,874 --> 00:26:16,775
I've had guys
779
00:26:16,775 --> 00:26:17,709
tell me in schools
780
00:26:17,709 --> 00:26:19,811
that they've jumped out of bed
781
00:26:19,811 --> 00:26:21,212
at 2:00 in the morning
782
00:26:21,212 --> 00:26:21,980
because they know
783
00:26:21,980 --> 00:26:22,914
they left dust
784
00:26:22,914 --> 00:26:25,150
or stain rags or something,
785
00:26:25,150 --> 00:26:26,618
someplace in their truck
786
00:26:26,618 --> 00:26:28,486
or wherever, where
787
00:26:28,486 --> 00:26:31,489
that's what walk them up.
788
00:27:43,428 --> 00:27:46,431
I.
789
00:27:50,468 --> 00:27:51,569
I've got bad news.
790
00:27:51,569 --> 00:27:54,572
In worse news.
791
00:28:03,682 --> 00:28:05,517
Didn't that such a floor guy thing?
792
00:28:05,517 --> 00:28:07,118
I mean,
793
00:28:07,118 --> 00:28:08,920
it's not the second or third time
794
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:09,921
I've ever heard somebody
795
00:28:09,921 --> 00:28:11,222
getting up in the middle of the night.
796
00:28:11,222 --> 00:28:11,790
Because.
797
00:28:11,790 --> 00:28:14,492
Oh, crap, I forgot dust.
798
00:28:14,492 --> 00:28:16,661
I forgot stain or something in the truck.
799
00:28:16,661 --> 00:28:19,330
You know? Crazy.
800
00:28:21,132 --> 00:28:24,135
That's all it takes.
801
00:28:48,393 --> 00:28:49,327
You know, the other thing
802
00:28:49,327 --> 00:28:50,528
I found too, about Chrome
803
00:28:50,528 --> 00:28:51,529
is the more you work with it,
804
00:28:51,529 --> 00:28:54,132
the easier it gets.
805
00:28:54,132 --> 00:28:55,600
You know what I mean?
806
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:56,634
I mean, we've all been
807
00:28:56,634 --> 00:28:57,969
putting stain on oil
808
00:28:57,969 --> 00:29:00,038
based stain the same way.
809
00:29:00,038 --> 00:29:00,939
Yeah, either
810
00:29:00,939 --> 00:29:03,875
wipe it on by hand or you bust it on,
811
00:29:03,875 --> 00:29:05,443
and.
812
00:29:05,443 --> 00:29:06,344
And I remember
813
00:29:06,344 --> 00:29:07,645
when Chrome first came out, it was,
814
00:29:07,645 --> 00:29:08,246
oh my God.
815
00:29:08,246 --> 00:29:08,980
There's, you know,
816
00:29:08,980 --> 00:29:10,782
so many steps to do it.
817
00:29:10,782 --> 00:29:13,585
There really isn't a lot of steps more.
818
00:29:13,585 --> 00:29:14,853
You know what I mean?
819
00:29:14,853 --> 00:29:16,554
There really isn't too many.
820
00:29:16,554 --> 00:29:17,522
And the more you do
821
00:29:17,522 --> 00:29:20,525
it, the the faster and easier it gets.
822
00:29:21,159 --> 00:29:21,860
I think I will.
823
00:29:21,860 --> 00:29:24,429
I tell everybody, you know,
824
00:29:24,429 --> 00:29:26,998
don't do a 3000ft job for your first one.
825
00:29:26,998 --> 00:29:30,301
Do a small do it, do a 200, do a 300ft,
826
00:29:30,301 --> 00:29:31,703
you know 600.
827
00:29:31,703 --> 00:29:34,973
Do something manageable and work that
828
00:29:35,173 --> 00:29:38,009
if if you can get to a training center,
829
00:29:38,009 --> 00:29:38,943
you know, definitely
830
00:29:38,943 --> 00:29:41,012
give us a call or even if,
831
00:29:41,012 --> 00:29:41,846
even if, you know,
832
00:29:41,846 --> 00:29:43,681
your distributor has a couple of panels
833
00:29:43,681 --> 00:29:44,983
that you can hack around on
834
00:29:44,983 --> 00:29:47,051
call a bone a rep, call me,
835
00:29:47,051 --> 00:29:48,253
we'll get somebody out there.
836
00:29:48,253 --> 00:29:49,654
We'll work with you.
837
00:29:49,654 --> 00:29:50,889
Rather,
838
00:29:50,889 --> 00:29:51,656
I'd rather see
839
00:29:51,656 --> 00:29:52,924
you put your hands on it
840
00:29:52,924 --> 00:29:55,426
at a batting cage or or driving range
841
00:29:55,426 --> 00:29:57,996
before you first get out there and and,
842
00:29:57,996 --> 00:29:59,798
you know, do it on somebody's house.
843
00:29:59,798 --> 00:30:01,266
Hey, there is a couple of steps,
844
00:30:01,266 --> 00:30:03,601
but, man, it just gets easier and easier.
845
00:30:05,136 --> 00:30:07,705
say, that, especially our generation.
846
00:30:07,705 --> 00:30:08,940
But,
847
00:30:08,940 --> 00:30:10,041
you know, we've had
848
00:30:10,041 --> 00:30:11,409
we've all made the change
849
00:30:11,409 --> 00:30:12,811
from oil based to water based.
850
00:30:12,811 --> 00:30:14,646
We've all made a wholesale change,
851
00:30:14,646 --> 00:30:15,380
you know, I mean, you know,
852
00:30:15,380 --> 00:30:17,215
some guy using oil, no question.
853
00:30:17,215 --> 00:30:20,051
But we've adapted
854
00:30:20,051 --> 00:30:22,854
to to advances in the industry,
855
00:30:22,854 --> 00:30:24,689
you know, on the benefits of that or the
856
00:30:24,689 --> 00:30:26,724
with the, you know, the faster dry time
857
00:30:26,724 --> 00:30:28,660
and what have you,
858
00:30:28,660 --> 00:30:28,960
you know,
859
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,128
the products are easier to work with
860
00:30:30,128 --> 00:30:30,695
and they can roll
861
00:30:30,695 --> 00:30:31,996
in all kinds of different stuff.
862
00:30:31,996 --> 00:30:34,332
So as we've gone along in our industry,
863
00:30:34,332 --> 00:30:35,700
we've adapted also with the,
864
00:30:35,700 --> 00:30:38,736
with the, with the, planetary machines.
865
00:30:38,736 --> 00:30:39,771
We're learning to sandpaper,
866
00:30:39,771 --> 00:30:41,439
scratch and blah, blah, blah.
867
00:30:41,439 --> 00:30:42,874
It's just one more.
868
00:30:42,874 --> 00:30:43,808
And the evolution of the
869
00:30:43,808 --> 00:30:45,343
where the industry is going.
870
00:30:45,343 --> 00:30:46,177
And,
871
00:30:46,177 --> 00:30:47,412
there's been other attempts at this.
872
00:30:47,412 --> 00:30:51,683
So I think that, guys use the chrome,
873
00:30:51,683 --> 00:30:53,318
and use it for a few jobs.
874
00:30:53,318 --> 00:30:54,252
They probably won't go back
875
00:30:54,252 --> 00:30:55,353
to a traditional stain.
876
00:30:57,322 --> 00:30:58,890
Oh, absolutely.
877
00:30:58,890 --> 00:31:00,859
Yeah, definitely.
878
00:31:00,859 --> 00:31:03,428
So you did mention,
879
00:31:03,428 --> 00:31:06,464
backpacks, vacuum.
880
00:31:06,531 --> 00:31:09,200
Vacuum fires, dust fires in the vacuum.
881
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,936
882
00:31:11,936 --> 00:31:14,239
Do you ever happen.
883
00:31:14,239 --> 00:31:15,373
never had one of those.
884
00:31:15,373 --> 00:31:16,674
We had one really heat up
885
00:31:16,674 --> 00:31:17,809
where it was smelling,
886
00:31:17,809 --> 00:31:21,479
but we had, we've had a van fire, in,
887
00:31:21,479 --> 00:31:24,482
with the with oil based, rags.
888
00:31:24,682 --> 00:31:25,750
Rags.
889
00:31:25,750 --> 00:31:26,084
Yeah.
890
00:31:26,084 --> 00:31:29,087
We had two backpack fires,
891
00:31:29,888 --> 00:31:31,189
too.
892
00:31:31,189 --> 00:31:31,956
Same thing.
893
00:31:31,956 --> 00:31:34,092
Started in the truck. Put?
894
00:31:34,092 --> 00:31:35,260
Put in. Of course.
895
00:31:35,260 --> 00:31:37,428
It took twice before we started
896
00:31:37,428 --> 00:31:41,532
smartening up, but, you know, we never.
897
00:31:41,532 --> 00:31:43,468
I never remember having any issues
898
00:31:43,468 --> 00:31:46,471
with canister vacs,
899
00:31:47,538 --> 00:31:49,073
you know what I mean?
900
00:31:49,073 --> 00:31:50,508
Like, before there were backpacks.
901
00:31:50,508 --> 00:31:51,542
We all had canister vacs
902
00:31:51,542 --> 00:31:52,343
and then backpacks.
903
00:31:52,343 --> 00:31:53,311
And believe me,
904
00:31:53,311 --> 00:31:54,379
I'm not saying anything bad
905
00:31:54,379 --> 00:31:55,747
about backpack vacuums.
906
00:31:55,747 --> 00:31:57,348
I, you know,
907
00:31:57,348 --> 00:31:57,916
a lot of us,
908
00:31:57,916 --> 00:31:59,517
we couldn't live without them.
909
00:31:59,517 --> 00:32:01,819
They just become such an amazing tool.
910
00:32:03,521 --> 00:32:06,524
The issue is the way that they're set up.
911
00:32:06,891 --> 00:32:08,326
I think
912
00:32:08,326 --> 00:32:09,227
that's where the issue,
913
00:32:09,227 --> 00:32:11,195
because I had my fire
914
00:32:11,195 --> 00:32:11,863
on the backpack,
915
00:32:11,863 --> 00:32:14,565
started the same exact place.
916
00:32:14,565 --> 00:32:17,669
That first line of dust that kind of sits
917
00:32:17,669 --> 00:32:18,970
right on top of the motor,
918
00:32:18,970 --> 00:32:20,939
you know, and your canister backs,
919
00:32:20,939 --> 00:32:22,707
your heat sources on top,
920
00:32:22,707 --> 00:32:23,875
the motors on top,
921
00:32:23,875 --> 00:32:25,576
and the dust is completely away
922
00:32:25,576 --> 00:32:27,478
from the heat source
923
00:32:27,478 --> 00:32:29,681
on backpack backs,
924
00:32:29,681 --> 00:32:31,683
the motors on the bottom.
925
00:32:31,683 --> 00:32:32,617
So the dust
926
00:32:32,617 --> 00:32:35,119
kind of sits on top of the motor
927
00:32:35,119 --> 00:32:37,422
in, in a sense.
928
00:32:37,422 --> 00:32:39,157
And then the more dust gets in there,
929
00:32:39,157 --> 00:32:39,557
the hotter
930
00:32:39,557 --> 00:32:41,526
the motor has to work
931
00:32:41,526 --> 00:32:43,428
to create that suction everything.
932
00:32:43,428 --> 00:32:46,431
So they get hotter and hotter and hotter.
933
00:32:46,998 --> 00:32:48,132
And what happened with ours
934
00:32:48,132 --> 00:32:52,103
was that first layer of dust got so hot
935
00:32:52,837 --> 00:32:54,872
that it melted a hole in the side of the
936
00:32:55,940 --> 00:32:57,175
vacuum.
937
00:32:57,175 --> 00:32:58,209
And as the hole got
938
00:32:58,209 --> 00:33:01,212
bigger, dust fell out and air went in.
939
00:33:02,380 --> 00:33:04,449
And then, you know, we didn't
940
00:33:04,449 --> 00:33:05,950
we didn't learn on the first one.
941
00:33:05,950 --> 00:33:08,519
We had to learn.
942
00:33:08,519 --> 00:33:10,488
We had to learn on the second one.
943
00:33:10,488 --> 00:33:13,124
But that was the other thing is like,
944
00:33:13,124 --> 00:33:14,859
all right, we've got to be careful
945
00:33:14,859 --> 00:33:15,760
that we don't store
946
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,730
these machines with dust.
947
00:33:18,730 --> 00:33:19,731
And that's another one.
948
00:33:19,731 --> 00:33:22,734
When I tell vacuum stories,
949
00:33:23,468 --> 00:33:25,403
almost every class I've had a guy.
950
00:33:25,403 --> 00:33:27,171
Yeah, I had same thing.
951
00:33:27,171 --> 00:33:28,439
Didn't turn into a fire,
952
00:33:28,439 --> 00:33:29,907
but it was smoldering in the back.
953
00:33:29,907 --> 00:33:31,209
Or, you know, one guy told me
954
00:33:31,209 --> 00:33:32,276
he stuck his hand in.
955
00:33:32,276 --> 00:33:33,678
He felt it was kind of warm
956
00:33:33,678 --> 00:33:35,079
stop and sanding,
957
00:33:35,079 --> 00:33:36,047
and he burned his hand
958
00:33:36,047 --> 00:33:38,016
because inside of the back
959
00:33:38,016 --> 00:33:39,450
was starting to cook.
960
00:33:39,450 --> 00:33:41,285
The dust was starting to cook.
961
00:33:41,285 --> 00:33:44,856
So be extremely careful
962
00:33:44,856 --> 00:33:46,224
with the backpack vacuums.
963
00:33:46,224 --> 00:33:47,525
Like I said, they're
964
00:33:47,525 --> 00:33:50,228
just a fantastic tool, but
965
00:33:52,030 --> 00:33:54,298
you got to be careful with them.
966
00:33:54,298 --> 00:33:54,899
a bomb.
967
00:33:54,899 --> 00:33:56,467
I mean, you've got heat,
968
00:33:56,467 --> 00:33:58,569
and then you pack that on top of it,
969
00:33:58,569 --> 00:33:59,904
generating more heat,
970
00:33:59,904 --> 00:34:02,173
and, you know, some,
971
00:34:02,173 --> 00:34:04,976
some brands of, of, of your things,
972
00:34:04,976 --> 00:34:05,843
especially when you're breeding
973
00:34:05,843 --> 00:34:08,446
between coats that gets hot.
974
00:34:08,446 --> 00:34:09,580
You know what I mean?
975
00:34:09,580 --> 00:34:11,682
Well, that was, the one fire we had.
976
00:34:11,682 --> 00:34:12,517
That's what we were.
977
00:34:12,517 --> 00:34:13,317
It was just
978
00:34:13,317 --> 00:34:14,285
the only dust in
979
00:34:14,285 --> 00:34:16,621
there was from undercoat.
980
00:34:16,621 --> 00:34:19,557
Abrasion on polyurethane,
981
00:34:19,557 --> 00:34:22,527
and and there was not a lot of dust.
982
00:34:22,527 --> 00:34:26,097
But if you think about it, that dust is.
983
00:34:26,497 --> 00:34:26,764
You know,
984
00:34:26,764 --> 00:34:29,767
I think I was using, like, a 180 screen.
985
00:34:30,401 --> 00:34:32,470
So you're screening up
986
00:34:32,470 --> 00:34:34,038
oil based polyurethane
987
00:34:34,038 --> 00:34:35,540
to a very fine powder.
988
00:34:35,540 --> 00:34:38,543
You're, you're almost making gunpowder.
989
00:34:38,843 --> 00:34:39,510
You know what I mean?
990
00:34:39,510 --> 00:34:40,912
Now, you got a really fine dust
991
00:34:40,912 --> 00:34:42,814
with a little bit of accelerant on there.
992
00:34:43,848 --> 00:34:46,451
Yeah, yeah, that can be.
993
00:34:46,451 --> 00:34:47,151
here's the thing.
994
00:34:47,151 --> 00:34:49,554
You might think okay well I'll do it.
995
00:34:49,554 --> 00:34:50,388
At the end of the day
996
00:34:50,388 --> 00:34:51,689
I'm going to run to the other job,
997
00:34:51,689 --> 00:34:52,690
I'm going to run the lunch, I'm
998
00:34:52,690 --> 00:34:54,025
going to run down the store.
999
00:34:54,025 --> 00:34:55,693
That's even too long man
1000
00:34:55,693 --> 00:34:57,128
to, to try to
1001
00:34:57,128 --> 00:34:59,664
or you also might sometimes,
1002
00:34:59,664 --> 00:35:01,299
a general contractor on the job will say,
1003
00:35:01,299 --> 00:35:02,967
oh, I'll get rid of all the trash bags
1004
00:35:02,967 --> 00:35:03,568
or whatever.
1005
00:35:03,568 --> 00:35:06,571
I would never let anybody do that Yeah.
1006
00:35:08,206 --> 00:35:11,209
that responsibly or the proper way.
1007
00:35:11,442 --> 00:35:14,245
And also with the big machines,
1008
00:35:14,245 --> 00:35:16,614
you know, you hit a nail,
1009
00:35:16,614 --> 00:35:17,448
you get a spark.
1010
00:35:17,448 --> 00:35:19,250
Spark. It's in the bag.
1011
00:35:19,250 --> 00:35:21,819
And that takes a long time to fester.
1012
00:35:21,819 --> 00:35:22,587
So bag
1013
00:35:22,587 --> 00:35:24,789
bags, man, bags are your scary deal.
1014
00:35:24,789 --> 00:35:27,391
Also, That's one of the things too.
1015
00:35:27,391 --> 00:35:30,128
I was really happy when, you know, the.
1016
00:35:30,128 --> 00:35:32,230
Did you ever see the bonus super VAC.
1017
00:35:32,230 --> 00:35:33,865
You remember that one right.
1018
00:35:33,865 --> 00:35:35,500
The, the blue one.
1019
00:35:35,500 --> 00:35:36,834
I had more of those than any other
1020
00:35:36,834 --> 00:35:38,803
bona vacuum products.
1021
00:35:38,803 --> 00:35:39,337
Yeah.
1022
00:35:39,337 --> 00:35:40,872
I there's a bunch of guys
1023
00:35:40,872 --> 00:35:42,607
who still have those, those things.
1024
00:35:42,607 --> 00:35:45,610
Just those things just run forever.
1025
00:35:45,910 --> 00:35:46,844
Okay.
1026
00:35:46,844 --> 00:35:49,480
But now with the new replacement,
1027
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,817
the DCS 50, I was so happy that
1028
00:35:54,285 --> 00:35:55,086
they made an
1029
00:35:55,086 --> 00:35:58,089
improvement to our canister type vac.
1030
00:35:58,222 --> 00:35:59,157
And that's the other thing
1031
00:35:59,157 --> 00:36:00,057
that I like about that.
1032
00:36:00,057 --> 00:36:03,528
DCS 50 is the heat source is on top
1033
00:36:05,429 --> 00:36:07,665
and the dust is completely away from it.
1034
00:36:07,665 --> 00:36:09,600
So just another
1035
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,770
another safety aspect of that DCS 50 plus
1036
00:36:13,171 --> 00:36:14,205
the DCS 50
1037
00:36:14,205 --> 00:36:16,607
is just such a great vacuum for
1038
00:36:16,607 --> 00:36:18,176
especially if you run a small hand
1039
00:36:18,176 --> 00:36:21,078
tools and things like that. Get that
1040
00:36:21,078 --> 00:36:22,713
where as soon as you turn your tool
1041
00:36:22,713 --> 00:36:23,848
on, the vacuum comes
1042
00:36:23,848 --> 00:36:26,050
on, it's got the automatic purge.
1043
00:36:26,050 --> 00:36:27,185
There's a lot of great bells
1044
00:36:27,185 --> 00:36:30,188
and whistles on that, that machine too.
1045
00:36:30,421 --> 00:36:33,191
But big machine, that's where I had
1046
00:36:33,191 --> 00:36:36,160
I had a major fire running a big machine,
1047
00:36:37,028 --> 00:36:38,296
up in Maine.
1048
00:36:38,296 --> 00:36:39,297
We were doing,
1049
00:36:39,297 --> 00:36:40,698
bowling alley, Maine sand.
1050
00:36:40,698 --> 00:36:43,701
And, I was sanding approaches
1051
00:36:43,734 --> 00:36:45,870
that had lacquer on it.
1052
00:36:45,870 --> 00:36:47,672
And my fire.
1053
00:36:47,672 --> 00:36:49,040
Oh, I didn't hit a nail.
1054
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:50,975
I didn't hear anything.
1055
00:36:50,975 --> 00:36:53,511
I just was overworking my paper.
1056
00:36:53,511 --> 00:36:54,245
It was friction.
1057
00:36:55,780 --> 00:36:58,249
I had a little weird little bit to go.
1058
00:36:58,249 --> 00:37:01,118
I only got about 6 or 7ft to go.
1059
00:37:01,118 --> 00:37:02,887
I, I ain't going to change of paper now,
1060
00:37:02,887 --> 00:37:04,255
you know, because it was drum paper,
1061
00:37:04,255 --> 00:37:05,423
you know what I mean?
1062
00:37:05,423 --> 00:37:07,158
Wasn't just putting it on a new belt.
1063
00:37:07,158 --> 00:37:07,892
It was,
1064
00:37:07,892 --> 00:37:10,061
you know, the slot and blah, blah, blah.
1065
00:37:10,061 --> 00:37:11,462
And I'm a lazy bastard.
1066
00:37:11,462 --> 00:37:14,065
So, yeah, I can make it.
1067
00:37:14,065 --> 00:37:16,467
And I could smell it, too.
1068
00:37:16,467 --> 00:37:17,668
I could smell that
1069
00:37:17,668 --> 00:37:18,035
the paper
1070
00:37:18,035 --> 00:37:18,970
was getting too dull
1071
00:37:18,970 --> 00:37:21,939
and I'm like, I'm five, six feet.
1072
00:37:21,939 --> 00:37:23,107
I'll be good.
1073
00:37:23,107 --> 00:37:26,911
And so you've got to watch friction.
1074
00:37:27,478 --> 00:37:30,414
And now with today's machines,
1075
00:37:30,414 --> 00:37:32,149
you know that machine I was running back
1076
00:37:32,149 --> 00:37:35,152
then, the 12 inch American Lincoln
1077
00:37:36,187 --> 00:37:37,288
they had,
1078
00:37:37,288 --> 00:37:37,588
you know,
1079
00:37:37,588 --> 00:37:38,623
they were a big machine,
1080
00:37:38,623 --> 00:37:40,391
but they only had about 70,
1081
00:37:40,391 --> 00:37:43,127
80 pounds of head pressure
1082
00:37:43,127 --> 00:37:46,130
spinning at about 1200 rpm.
1083
00:37:46,197 --> 00:37:47,298
You look at the equipment
1084
00:37:47,298 --> 00:37:49,100
we have, if you look at the belt,
1085
00:37:49,100 --> 00:37:49,867
the bone of belt you
1086
00:37:50,801 --> 00:37:52,570
that's spinning almost twice
1087
00:37:52,570 --> 00:37:53,771
as fast
1088
00:37:53,771 --> 00:37:55,206
with an extra 40
1089
00:37:55,206 --> 00:37:58,042
or 50 pounds of head pressure. Yeah.
1090
00:37:58,042 --> 00:38:00,578
So now we've quadrupled our friction
1091
00:38:00,578 --> 00:38:03,281
or almost quadrupled like friction.
1092
00:38:03,281 --> 00:38:06,284
And people don't realize that friction.
1093
00:38:06,651 --> 00:38:07,051
Yeah.
1094
00:38:07,051 --> 00:38:08,953
Frictions is rubbing two sticks together.
1095
00:38:08,953 --> 00:38:10,588
It doesn't take a match,
1096
00:38:10,588 --> 00:38:12,657
a nail or anything like that.
1097
00:38:12,657 --> 00:38:16,193
So I got to be very careful that.
1098
00:38:17,828 --> 00:38:20,598
You know, as a contractor,
1099
00:38:20,598 --> 00:38:21,699
there's a lot of ways
1100
00:38:21,699 --> 00:38:23,000
I, we've said before, like,
1101
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:24,068
you want to put as many things
1102
00:38:24,068 --> 00:38:26,370
on your side of the equation as you can.
1103
00:38:26,370 --> 00:38:27,838
There's a lot of risk involved.
1104
00:38:27,838 --> 00:38:29,573
There's a lot of liability involved.
1105
00:38:29,573 --> 00:38:30,741
And the more employees
1106
00:38:30,741 --> 00:38:33,744
you have, the more that that's, you know,
1107
00:38:34,145 --> 00:38:35,279
extend that out further
1108
00:38:35,279 --> 00:38:37,148
and further and further.
1109
00:38:37,148 --> 00:38:40,151
So a lot of this is habits
1110
00:38:40,318 --> 00:38:43,321
and, getting everybody on the same page
1111
00:38:43,688 --> 00:38:45,189
that you walk to a job site,
1112
00:38:45,189 --> 00:38:46,691
everybody's doing exactly the same way.
1113
00:38:46,691 --> 00:38:47,058
That way,
1114
00:38:47,058 --> 00:38:47,925
if someone does something
1115
00:38:47,925 --> 00:38:49,126
out of the norm,
1116
00:38:49,126 --> 00:38:49,960
it doesn't take the
1117
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:51,429
the dust bag out for the day or whatever.
1118
00:38:51,429 --> 00:38:53,364
Everybody knows that,
1119
00:38:53,364 --> 00:38:54,899
that's not that's not the way we do it.
1120
00:38:54,899 --> 00:38:56,434
And it's so important.
1121
00:38:56,434 --> 00:38:58,135
And I don't think you can give this fire
1122
00:38:58,135 --> 00:39:00,738
speech, talk enough,
1123
00:39:00,738 --> 00:39:03,741
because, it is, man,
1124
00:39:04,442 --> 00:39:05,242
this is
1125
00:39:05,242 --> 00:39:06,410
life is hard enough
1126
00:39:06,410 --> 00:39:08,646
owning a business and running a business.
1127
00:39:08,646 --> 00:39:11,349
And, and when they, you know,
1128
00:39:11,349 --> 00:39:12,717
one of the descriptions of
1129
00:39:12,717 --> 00:39:13,918
of being an entrepreneur
1130
00:39:13,918 --> 00:39:14,318
and owning
1131
00:39:14,318 --> 00:39:17,321
your business is, is should be overworked
1132
00:39:17,588 --> 00:39:19,423
because you put in a ton of hours.
1133
00:39:19,423 --> 00:39:20,358
The most people that are doing
1134
00:39:20,358 --> 00:39:22,026
this are not working 40 hour jobs.
1135
00:39:22,026 --> 00:39:23,260
Most people are working
1136
00:39:23,260 --> 00:39:24,829
much longer than that.
1137
00:39:24,829 --> 00:39:27,832
And it's to work that hard
1138
00:39:28,165 --> 00:39:30,868
and have something like this happen.
1139
00:39:30,868 --> 00:39:32,103
Go into a box in there
1140
00:39:32,103 --> 00:39:33,971
and in the box,
1141
00:39:33,971 --> 00:39:36,474
and you'll electrocute yourself that way.
1142
00:39:36,474 --> 00:39:38,709
Or or have a fire like
1143
00:39:38,709 --> 00:39:40,010
this or some kind of hazard.
1144
00:39:41,579 --> 00:39:43,481
It's just habits.
1145
00:39:43,481 --> 00:39:44,215
And the more
1146
00:39:44,215 --> 00:39:45,750
you can put on your side of the equation
1147
00:39:45,750 --> 00:39:47,385
and getting in in good habits
1148
00:39:47,385 --> 00:39:48,719
of not doing these type of things,
1149
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:50,154
and the better off you are.
1150
00:39:50,154 --> 00:39:52,423
I mean, it really,
1151
00:39:52,423 --> 00:39:53,391
it's the same thing. Is it?
1152
00:39:53,391 --> 00:39:53,758
Know,
1153
00:39:53,758 --> 00:39:55,659
sometimes I think we treat our equipment
1154
00:39:55,659 --> 00:39:57,294
better than we treat ourselves.
1155
00:39:57,294 --> 00:39:57,728
You know,
1156
00:39:57,728 --> 00:39:58,429
at the end of the day,
1157
00:39:58,429 --> 00:39:59,797
you take the wheels off the ground
1158
00:39:59,797 --> 00:40:01,499
so the wheels don't get a flat spot.
1159
00:40:01,499 --> 00:40:02,800
You take the pressure off
1160
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:04,301
of the drama of the big machine
1161
00:40:04,301 --> 00:40:06,303
so you don't get a flat spot on the drum.
1162
00:40:06,303 --> 00:40:08,339
And, you know, you know,
1163
00:40:08,339 --> 00:40:10,040
you make sure the wheels are clean
1164
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,176
and all these little things that you do
1165
00:40:12,176 --> 00:40:14,745
for guys sometimes,
1166
00:40:14,745 --> 00:40:16,781
if you really think about this trade,
1167
00:40:16,781 --> 00:40:18,616
how many, many, many things
1168
00:40:18,616 --> 00:40:20,951
there are that make things work,
1169
00:40:20,951 --> 00:40:22,386
that when you see the wonder guys
1170
00:40:22,386 --> 00:40:24,355
get so excited over a fabulous job,
1171
00:40:24,355 --> 00:40:26,290
you know, a beautiful job, how about you?
1172
00:40:26,290 --> 00:40:27,725
Things had to go right in order
1173
00:40:27,725 --> 00:40:29,059
for that to come together.
1174
00:40:29,059 --> 00:40:30,694
It's amazing the skill level
1175
00:40:30,694 --> 00:40:32,329
that these guys have.
1176
00:40:32,329 --> 00:40:33,397
And I think sometimes
1177
00:40:33,397 --> 00:40:34,298
we take it for granted
1178
00:40:34,298 --> 00:40:34,999
because we
1179
00:40:34,999 --> 00:40:36,033
we do it all the time
1180
00:40:36,033 --> 00:40:37,334
and we see it all the time.
1181
00:40:37,334 --> 00:40:39,303
But man,
1182
00:40:39,303 --> 00:40:41,038
God bless these guys out there
1183
00:40:41,038 --> 00:40:42,440
and gals doing floors, man.
1184
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,408
That, that that so many things
1185
00:40:44,408 --> 00:40:45,876
have to come together
1186
00:40:45,876 --> 00:40:47,812
to come out with a great product
1187
00:40:47,812 --> 00:40:49,046
and so don't get yourself
1188
00:40:49,046 --> 00:40:49,814
in trouble on something
1189
00:40:51,549 --> 00:40:52,650
Yeah.
1190
00:40:52,650 --> 00:40:54,351
Another thing with fire.
1191
00:40:54,351 --> 00:40:56,854
You had mentioned sparks.
1192
00:40:56,854 --> 00:40:57,721
Okay.
1193
00:40:57,721 --> 00:40:59,156
Nails.
1194
00:40:59,156 --> 00:41:00,758
Staples. Of course.
1195
00:41:00,758 --> 00:41:02,760
They're going to throw some sparks.
1196
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,029
We had
1197
00:41:05,029 --> 00:41:08,032
our old, old, old radiator machine
1198
00:41:08,866 --> 00:41:11,869
had, like, a seven inch disc on the end
1199
00:41:12,970 --> 00:41:15,039
that had no guard or anything on it.
1200
00:41:15,039 --> 00:41:15,606
Do you remember?
1201
00:41:15,606 --> 00:41:18,442
Do you ever see that one? Right.
1202
00:41:18,442 --> 00:41:18,876
Yeah.
1203
00:41:18,876 --> 00:41:21,145
And somebody had the bright idea.
1204
00:41:21,145 --> 00:41:22,713
We're not going to put any guards on it
1205
00:41:22,713 --> 00:41:23,214
or anything.
1206
00:41:23,214 --> 00:41:23,647
And that way
1207
00:41:23,647 --> 00:41:26,650
you can get really close to the pipes
1208
00:41:26,750 --> 00:41:28,219
and then you won't have
1209
00:41:28,219 --> 00:41:31,188
to stick your arm in. And. Right.
1210
00:41:31,188 --> 00:41:32,756
And that's what we had.
1211
00:41:32,756 --> 00:41:34,625
That was our radiator machine.
1212
00:41:34,625 --> 00:41:36,660
I mean, it looked like a suicide
1213
00:41:36,660 --> 00:41:38,829
edger type thing. Right.
1214
00:41:38,829 --> 00:41:40,564
And that whole open wheel,
1215
00:41:40,564 --> 00:41:42,333
there was no cover on that thing
1216
00:41:42,333 --> 00:41:45,336
that just you bolted it on and went.
1217
00:41:45,336 --> 00:41:47,538
And I know there's guys still using them.
1218
00:41:47,538 --> 00:41:48,405
I've seen it.
1219
00:41:48,405 --> 00:41:51,408
I've seen them in warehouses and stuff.
1220
00:41:51,408 --> 00:41:53,911
But, we had a fire from that.
1221
00:41:54,979 --> 00:41:56,380
I was,
1222
00:41:56,380 --> 00:41:57,548
we were sanding and
1223
00:41:57,548 --> 00:42:00,017
it had to be a lacquer poly mix,
1224
00:42:00,017 --> 00:42:01,385
ton of lacquer under there.
1225
00:42:01,385 --> 00:42:03,787
And I am just grinding up
1226
00:42:03,787 --> 00:42:06,557
against the legs of that radiator
1227
00:42:06,557 --> 00:42:08,826
so I wouldn't have to scrape right.
1228
00:42:08,826 --> 00:42:11,829
Yeah.
1229
00:42:16,834 --> 00:42:18,335
Yeah.
1230
00:42:18,335 --> 00:42:20,804
I mean, it looked like I was welding,
1231
00:42:20,804 --> 00:42:22,106
it looked like I was welding
1232
00:42:22,106 --> 00:42:24,041
and I'm just grinding away.
1233
00:42:24,041 --> 00:42:24,875
Look at me.
1234
00:42:24,875 --> 00:42:26,877
I'm such a great worker.
1235
00:42:26,877 --> 00:42:29,513
And I had a big, giant pile of dust,
1236
00:42:29,513 --> 00:42:31,749
and I got up, went over
1237
00:42:31,749 --> 00:42:33,250
I think I went to get some more paper
1238
00:42:33,250 --> 00:42:35,085
or something. And Pete looked at me.
1239
00:42:35,085 --> 00:42:36,320
He goes, you smell something burning?
1240
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,622
I go, yeah, what the hell?
1241
00:42:38,622 --> 00:42:40,991
You know?
1242
00:42:40,991 --> 00:42:42,459
How could that happen?
1243
00:42:42,459 --> 00:42:45,029
Right?
1244
00:42:45,029 --> 00:42:46,030
There's a big pile.
1245
00:42:46,030 --> 00:42:46,830
There it is.
1246
00:42:46,830 --> 00:42:48,732
It was just smoldering. It wasn't.
1247
00:42:48,732 --> 00:42:50,334
There wasn't a huge fire.
1248
00:42:50,334 --> 00:42:52,002
But another one, too.
1249
00:42:52,002 --> 00:42:54,271
Is the paper tracking on your machine?
1250
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:56,740
How many guys?
1251
00:42:56,740 --> 00:42:58,309
You how many guys?
1252
00:42:58,309 --> 00:42:59,977
When they open up the door
1253
00:42:59,977 --> 00:43:02,846
to that machine, you see that?
1254
00:43:02,846 --> 00:43:04,181
That ring.
1255
00:43:04,181 --> 00:43:06,050
You know what I mean?
1256
00:43:06,050 --> 00:43:08,085
Is, you see that ring,
1257
00:43:08,085 --> 00:43:10,988
and I know it sounds like.
1258
00:43:10,988 --> 00:43:11,388
I know it
1259
00:43:11,388 --> 00:43:12,222
sounds like we're just
1260
00:43:12,222 --> 00:43:13,924
doing commercials for boner.
1261
00:43:13,924 --> 00:43:15,459
Okay, but now the two things
1262
00:43:15,459 --> 00:43:18,596
I just talked about, the radiator machine
1263
00:43:19,363 --> 00:43:20,631
with that open wheel
1264
00:43:20,631 --> 00:43:22,666
causing all those sparks
1265
00:43:22,666 --> 00:43:23,067
you look at,
1266
00:43:23,067 --> 00:43:24,234
the bone can be edge
1267
00:43:24,234 --> 00:43:25,869
with the radiator machine.
1268
00:43:25,869 --> 00:43:29,139
It does pick up amazing dust pick up
1269
00:43:30,074 --> 00:43:33,077
and that edge is covered.
1270
00:43:33,611 --> 00:43:34,278
You know what I mean.
1271
00:43:34,278 --> 00:43:36,347
That edge is covered.
1272
00:43:36,347 --> 00:43:38,048
So there's your coffee edge
1273
00:43:38,048 --> 00:43:40,918
answer to that radiator machine.
1274
00:43:40,918 --> 00:43:43,921
And now the belt uccs.
1275
00:43:44,054 --> 00:43:45,456
There is no better belt
1276
00:43:45,456 --> 00:43:47,758
tracking system in the world.
1277
00:43:47,758 --> 00:43:50,628
You will never see that ring.
1278
00:43:51,662 --> 00:43:52,930
I better watch what I'm saying.
1279
00:43:52,930 --> 00:43:55,899
But you will never see that ring.
1280
00:43:55,966 --> 00:43:56,900
We've been running that
1281
00:43:56,900 --> 00:43:59,903
machine for 25 years.
1282
00:44:00,638 --> 00:44:03,641
And because it's self-adjusting.
1283
00:44:03,974 --> 00:44:05,576
can take them off at all the schools
1284
00:44:05,576 --> 00:44:06,276
and look at them.
1285
00:44:06,276 --> 00:44:07,111
And these are
1286
00:44:07,111 --> 00:44:09,279
you know 100 different guys using it with
1287
00:44:09,279 --> 00:44:12,249
you know sometimes no experience Yep.
1288
00:44:15,486 --> 00:44:17,888
And that self-adjusting
1289
00:44:17,888 --> 00:44:20,791
upper roller assembly
1290
00:44:20,791 --> 00:44:23,260
that if the paper starts to track bad,
1291
00:44:23,260 --> 00:44:25,129
it corrects itself.
1292
00:44:25,129 --> 00:44:25,663
There you go.
1293
00:44:25,663 --> 00:44:26,997
That's why you never see that
1294
00:44:26,997 --> 00:44:28,866
those sparks flying on that machine,
1295
00:44:28,866 --> 00:44:30,234
because of
1296
00:44:30,234 --> 00:44:31,035
that upper roller
1297
00:44:31,035 --> 00:44:32,636
assembly is just amazing.
1298
00:44:32,636 --> 00:44:33,103
I didn't know
1299
00:44:33,103 --> 00:44:35,139
this is going to turn into
1300
00:44:35,139 --> 00:44:38,175
commercials for bonus equipment, but boy,
1301
00:44:38,175 --> 00:44:40,277
we really get our together
1302
00:44:40,277 --> 00:44:41,478
with some of these things.
1303
00:44:41,478 --> 00:44:42,880
As far as,
1304
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:43,714
you know, a little bit
1305
00:44:43,714 --> 00:44:44,815
of fire safety tip,
1306
00:44:46,150 --> 00:44:47,718
dust.
1307
00:44:47,718 --> 00:44:49,520
That's, number three. So.
1308
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:51,989
So far I got, number one is friction.
1309
00:44:51,989 --> 00:44:54,992
Number two is sparks three dust.
1310
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,629
I don't know, we could just go on forever
1311
00:44:58,629 --> 00:44:59,830
about dust.
1312
00:44:59,830 --> 00:45:00,764
You know,
1313
00:45:00,764 --> 00:45:02,299
I think the big thing with dust
1314
00:45:02,299 --> 00:45:04,702
is where you are storing it.
1315
00:45:04,702 --> 00:45:07,471
I mean, I've heard so many guys
1316
00:45:07,471 --> 00:45:10,307
with van fires, warehouse fires
1317
00:45:10,307 --> 00:45:12,009
that started in their vans
1318
00:45:12,009 --> 00:45:13,677
or their vans in the warehouse,
1319
00:45:13,677 --> 00:45:16,680
all from leaving dust in their.
1320
00:45:19,516 --> 00:45:21,351
And we did talk about the backpack
1321
00:45:21,351 --> 00:45:22,352
vacuums.
1322
00:45:22,352 --> 00:45:24,121
Versus that
1323
00:45:24,121 --> 00:45:25,389
the other thing too, I talked
1324
00:45:25,389 --> 00:45:28,459
to, a guy up here around Albany
1325
00:45:28,459 --> 00:45:31,462
who's a big, machine repair guy,
1326
00:45:31,628 --> 00:45:34,131
and he was telling me he's shocked
1327
00:45:34,131 --> 00:45:34,865
that there isn't
1328
00:45:34,865 --> 00:45:37,868
even more fires than people have.
1329
00:45:37,968 --> 00:45:38,235
You know,
1330
00:45:38,235 --> 00:45:40,671
sometimes when I start working on guys
1331
00:45:40,671 --> 00:45:44,408
machines, the dust that is impacted
1332
00:45:45,743 --> 00:45:47,745
on the inside of the belt
1333
00:45:47,745 --> 00:45:51,215
machines, he said, is absolutely insane.
1334
00:45:51,782 --> 00:45:53,016
He goes, I've opened them up.
1335
00:45:53,016 --> 00:45:55,419
And he said, I've felt hot dust.
1336
00:45:55,419 --> 00:45:57,254
I've seen stuff that was,
1337
00:45:57,254 --> 00:45:57,654
you know,
1338
00:45:57,654 --> 00:45:58,155
looked like
1339
00:45:58,155 --> 00:46:01,058
it was ready to start going because
1340
00:46:01,058 --> 00:46:02,226
simple thing, guys
1341
00:46:02,226 --> 00:46:04,528
just start blowing out their machines.
1342
00:46:04,528 --> 00:46:05,195
And that does
1343
00:46:05,195 --> 00:46:06,997
get start to get caked in there
1344
00:46:06,997 --> 00:46:09,233
and the springs and all that stuff.
1345
00:46:09,233 --> 00:46:10,634
That's going to lead to heat too.
1346
00:46:10,634 --> 00:46:13,637
So be careful with that dust.
1347
00:46:13,771 --> 00:46:14,538
I've heard that from
1348
00:46:14,538 --> 00:46:17,241
every single mechanic I've ever met.
1349
00:46:17,241 --> 00:46:18,175
About the amount of dust
1350
00:46:18,175 --> 00:46:19,276
that's packed in these machines.
1351
00:46:19,276 --> 00:46:19,810
When they get them
1352
00:46:19,810 --> 00:46:22,179
and open them up and go to work on them.
1353
00:46:22,179 --> 00:46:22,379
Yeah.
1354
00:46:22,379 --> 00:46:23,313
Blowing out the machines
1355
00:46:23,313 --> 00:46:26,316
at the end of the day is
1356
00:46:26,550 --> 00:46:27,284
Yeah.
1357
00:46:27,284 --> 00:46:27,918
quick and easy.
1358
00:46:27,918 --> 00:46:28,819
And there's
1359
00:46:28,819 --> 00:46:29,720
I mean, you feel so
1360
00:46:29,720 --> 00:46:30,654
much better afterwards.
1361
00:46:32,689 --> 00:46:33,223
All right.
1362
00:46:33,223 --> 00:46:35,626
So number four was stain rags.
1363
00:46:35,626 --> 00:46:38,529
We started the show with stain rags.
1364
00:46:38,529 --> 00:46:42,132
Number five I have is electric.
1365
00:46:43,667 --> 00:46:48,472
How many electric fires
1366
00:46:48,472 --> 00:46:51,475
you've ever had?
1367
00:46:52,142 --> 00:46:53,210
We had,
1368
00:46:53,210 --> 00:46:55,279
we had a major electric fire
1369
00:46:55,279 --> 00:46:58,282
one time, and that was,
1370
00:46:59,349 --> 00:47:00,951
I hooked up into an old,
1371
00:47:00,951 --> 00:47:03,954
old, old fuze box that came with the the
1372
00:47:04,521 --> 00:47:06,557
the the screw in fuzes.
1373
00:47:06,557 --> 00:47:07,858
Yeah, yeah.
1374
00:47:07,858 --> 00:47:09,960
I had no business going into that one
1375
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:11,528
and something art,
1376
00:47:11,528 --> 00:47:14,097
but it just didn't blow.
1377
00:47:14,097 --> 00:47:15,999
It generated enough heat
1378
00:47:15,999 --> 00:47:16,900
and just everything
1379
00:47:16,900 --> 00:47:19,870
started to melt and catch on fire and
1380
00:47:21,505 --> 00:47:22,873
so of course, we're working
1381
00:47:22,873 --> 00:47:24,208
in the machines making funny
1382
00:47:24,208 --> 00:47:25,809
noises, and the lights are kind of
1383
00:47:25,809 --> 00:47:27,978
dimming and flashing and,
1384
00:47:27,978 --> 00:47:30,480
like, jeez, what the hell's going on?
1385
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:31,081
And then
1386
00:47:33,016 --> 00:47:34,718
Pete starts yelling.
1387
00:47:34,718 --> 00:47:36,053
He goes, you smell that?
1388
00:47:36,053 --> 00:47:37,721
And man,
1389
00:47:37,721 --> 00:47:38,488
there's just nothing
1390
00:47:38,488 --> 00:47:41,491
that smells like burning electricity.
1391
00:47:41,592 --> 00:47:42,693
Nothing. No.
1392
00:47:42,693 --> 00:47:43,327
That smell.
1393
00:47:43,327 --> 00:47:46,330
So that was, that was a pretty good one.
1394
00:47:46,663 --> 00:47:49,533
The other one that I've seen a lot, too,
1395
00:47:49,533 --> 00:47:50,667
because,
1396
00:47:50,667 --> 00:47:51,435
you know, the machines
1397
00:47:51,435 --> 00:47:54,438
we used in the bowling business for all
1398
00:47:54,872 --> 00:47:56,340
everything was 220.
1399
00:47:56,340 --> 00:47:57,341
Everything was,
1400
00:47:57,341 --> 00:48:00,310
you know, major three phase.
1401
00:48:00,344 --> 00:48:01,311
We had some cereal.
1402
00:48:01,311 --> 00:48:02,679
And the other thing, too,
1403
00:48:02,679 --> 00:48:03,981
about working in bowling
1404
00:48:03,981 --> 00:48:06,516
alleys, in gyms is
1405
00:48:06,516 --> 00:48:07,918
the length of a court.
1406
00:48:07,918 --> 00:48:08,318
You know,
1407
00:48:08,318 --> 00:48:09,753
sometimes you'd be stretching
1408
00:48:09,753 --> 00:48:12,756
cords 200ft and
1409
00:48:12,923 --> 00:48:13,423
and, boy,
1410
00:48:13,423 --> 00:48:14,625
if your connections weren't
1411
00:48:14,625 --> 00:48:17,127
spot on and tight,
1412
00:48:17,127 --> 00:48:19,329
the warmer they got, the looser they got.
1413
00:48:19,329 --> 00:48:21,465
And we saw plugs would blow like,
1414
00:48:21,465 --> 00:48:22,432
you know, they,
1415
00:48:22,432 --> 00:48:23,200
they would look like
1416
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,569
maybe sometimes crazy.
1417
00:48:25,569 --> 00:48:27,537
So be careful with your electric.
1418
00:48:29,740 --> 00:48:31,808
Another one I have
1419
00:48:31,808 --> 00:48:34,778
this liquid liquid vapors,
1420
00:48:35,579 --> 00:48:38,181
quick dry sealers, lacquer, shellac,
1421
00:48:38,181 --> 00:48:39,783
mineral spirits, conversion
1422
00:48:39,783 --> 00:48:42,486
varnishes, all of those
1423
00:48:42,486 --> 00:48:44,388
very, very dangerous to work with.
1424
00:48:44,388 --> 00:48:46,423
Anything that has that red label on it.
1425
00:48:46,423 --> 00:48:47,491
You know,
1426
00:48:47,491 --> 00:48:50,494
those are flammable products and they're
1427
00:48:51,261 --> 00:48:52,896
when they're sanding, they're dangerous.
1428
00:48:52,896 --> 00:48:53,630
When you're sanding them,
1429
00:48:53,630 --> 00:48:55,599
they're dangerous when you're using them.
1430
00:48:55,599 --> 00:48:57,501
They're dangerous in their liquid form.
1431
00:48:57,501 --> 00:48:58,902
They're vapor form.
1432
00:48:58,902 --> 00:49:00,671
Just
1433
00:49:00,671 --> 00:49:02,072
man stick with the water base.
1434
00:49:02,072 --> 00:49:03,740
I mean, that's really one of the reasons
1435
00:49:03,740 --> 00:49:05,709
that my family started with water base
1436
00:49:05,709 --> 00:49:08,679
just was the whole safety aspect of it.
1437
00:49:11,815 --> 00:49:14,785
And last but not least,
1438
00:49:14,785 --> 00:49:17,788
fire extinguishers.
1439
00:49:17,921 --> 00:49:19,856
Got to have those fire extinguishers.
1440
00:49:19,856 --> 00:49:20,624
Every truck should have
1441
00:49:20,624 --> 00:49:22,659
two fire extinguishers.
1442
00:49:22,659 --> 00:49:25,462
And the extinguisher we're looking for
1443
00:49:25,462 --> 00:49:29,166
is ABC rated for for like 300 bucks,
1444
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,269
you can put two decent size
1445
00:49:33,503 --> 00:49:35,372
fire extinguishers.
1446
00:49:35,372 --> 00:49:36,773
Not the kind that are in a boat.
1447
00:49:36,773 --> 00:49:38,608
You know, those are a little small.
1448
00:49:38,608 --> 00:49:40,510
And your your boat fire extinguishers.
1449
00:49:40,510 --> 00:49:42,312
You want something a little bit bigger.
1450
00:49:42,312 --> 00:49:43,680
So like 300 bucks
1451
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:46,650
you can put to good size.
1452
00:49:46,650 --> 00:49:48,051
And you want to make sure
1453
00:49:48,051 --> 00:49:49,386
you get the right type.
1454
00:49:49,386 --> 00:49:52,189
You're looking for the ABC rated,
1455
00:49:52,189 --> 00:49:55,058
ABC rated fire extinguisher fights,
1456
00:49:55,058 --> 00:49:58,028
liquid paper and electric.
1457
00:49:58,028 --> 00:50:00,564
All all the types of fires
1458
00:50:00,564 --> 00:50:02,265
that we can run into.
1459
00:50:02,265 --> 00:50:03,734
When you're doing
1460
00:50:03,734 --> 00:50:06,737
when you're doing the floor work.
1461
00:50:10,140 --> 00:50:11,842
That's about it for fire safety.
1462
00:50:11,842 --> 00:50:14,845
I can't think of anything else.
1463
00:50:21,218 --> 00:50:21,952
You know what?
1464
00:50:21,952 --> 00:50:24,688
This is I've done this, you know.
1465
00:50:24,688 --> 00:50:25,389
Well, you know me.
1466
00:50:25,389 --> 00:50:27,024
I've. We've done this for years.
1467
00:50:27,024 --> 00:50:28,025
This fire stuff.
1468
00:50:28,025 --> 00:50:29,960
And,
1469
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,195
the great part is sometimes
1470
00:50:32,195 --> 00:50:33,864
when we remind people to do this,
1471
00:50:34,898 --> 00:50:36,433
if you're listening to the
1472
00:50:36,433 --> 00:50:37,734
show, and I know I had
1473
00:50:37,734 --> 00:50:38,335
sport crews
1474
00:50:38,335 --> 00:50:40,504
have done this in the past,
1475
00:50:40,504 --> 00:50:42,039
they they'll have a roundtable
1476
00:50:42,039 --> 00:50:44,041
with their guys.
1477
00:50:44,041 --> 00:50:45,609
They'll say, hey, you know what?
1478
00:50:45,609 --> 00:50:47,711
Let's have a let's have that talk.
1479
00:50:47,711 --> 00:50:49,246
Because this is the talk.
1480
00:50:49,246 --> 00:50:50,680
You should be having this talk
1481
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:53,650
once a year with your crews.
1482
00:50:55,152 --> 00:50:56,286
even even I've been doing floors
1483
00:50:56,286 --> 00:50:57,554
for 20 years.
1484
00:50:57,554 --> 00:50:58,922
We get in the habit of doing stuff,
1485
00:50:58,922 --> 00:51:00,457
we get in a hurry.
1486
00:51:00,457 --> 00:51:02,125
Is, is a big factor.
1487
00:51:02,125 --> 00:51:03,493
As we get into her, we know better.
1488
00:51:03,493 --> 00:51:04,261
We know what the
1489
00:51:04,261 --> 00:51:05,162
what we're supposed to do.
1490
00:51:05,162 --> 00:51:06,430
But we get in a hurry.
1491
00:51:06,430 --> 00:51:07,597
We get jammed up for time
1492
00:51:07,597 --> 00:51:08,398
and whatever we, you know,
1493
00:51:08,398 --> 00:51:09,800
we end into the job,
1494
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:11,735
we start throwing our tools in the trunk
1495
00:51:11,735 --> 00:51:12,502
and this, that and the other.
1496
00:51:12,502 --> 00:51:15,439
And, you just get one shot
1497
00:51:25,215 --> 00:51:25,682
No.
1498
00:51:25,682 --> 00:51:28,685

00:51:32,856 --> 00:51:35,859

00:51:42,966 --> 00:51:45,969
I my my career is over.
1505
00:51:46,203 --> 00:51:47,471
It's over.
1506
00:51:47,471 --> 00:51:48,638
Yeah.
1507
00:51:48,638 --> 00:51:51,108

Then the NWA, they'll never hire me now.
1511
00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:58,615
No, never.
1512

00:52:11,995 --> 00:52:12,863
look at man.
1518
00:52:12,863 --> 00:52:13,964
It was,
1519
00:52:13,964 --> 00:52:16,967
it was break glass in case of emergency.
1520
00:52:17,467 --> 00:52:18,101

00:52:18,101 --> 00:52:21,104

1523
00:52:31,815 --> 00:52:32,649
Well that's it.
1524
00:52:32,649 --> 00:52:33,750
I mean, well, you know,
1525
00:52:33,750 --> 00:52:35,485
first we talked, years ago
1526
00:52:35,485 --> 00:52:36,920
about my colonoscopy,
1527
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:38,054
and that didn't get me fired.
1528
00:52:38,054 --> 00:52:39,523
So maybe this world,
1529
00:52:39,523 --> 00:52:41,658
maybe this is the one that.
1530
00:52:41,658 --> 00:52:43,894
All right, we've had enough of him.
1531
00:52:43,894 --> 00:52:44,961
