1
00:00:11,311 --> 00:00:12,045
Hello and welcome to
2
00:00:12,045 --> 00:00:15,115
another episode of On the Floor
3
00:00:15,115 --> 00:00:16,182
with Wayne and Rob.
4
00:00:16,182 --> 00:00:17,650
I'm Wayne Highlander, National Sales
5
00:00:17,650 --> 00:00:19,419
Manager for Bona Adhesives.
6
00:00:19,419 --> 00:00:22,022
And I'm Rob Johnson from Bona Training.
7
00:00:22,655 --> 00:00:24,324
How are you doing, Rob?
8
00:00:24,324 --> 00:00:25,125
Pretty good, buddy.
9
00:00:25,125 --> 00:00:26,493
How are you doing today?
10
00:00:26,493 --> 00:00:27,894
I'm doing fantastic.
11
00:00:27,894 --> 00:00:28,661
I noticed how you
12
00:00:28,661 --> 00:00:30,930
emphasized on the floor.
13
00:00:31,698 --> 00:00:32,499
Yeah, really?
14
00:00:32,499 --> 00:00:34,200
You really hit floor?
15
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:34,801
Yeah. On the.
16
00:00:34,801 --> 00:00:37,470
World. Just. Yeah. Singular. Singular.
17
00:00:37,604 --> 00:00:38,505
Yes. Yeah.
18
00:00:38,505 --> 00:00:40,306
Things like.
19
00:00:40,306 --> 00:00:42,308
Yeah. I keep getting in trouble for that.
20
00:00:43,109 --> 00:00:45,578
So, Rob, let's talk about garages.
21
00:00:46,179 --> 00:00:48,848
Garages? You know,
22
00:00:48,848 --> 00:00:50,050
I bet there's nobody
23
00:00:50,050 --> 00:00:51,885
in the flooring industry.
24
00:00:51,885 --> 00:00:54,387
Any any flooring podcast out there
25
00:00:55,021 --> 00:00:57,290
who has done something on garages.
26
00:00:58,425 --> 00:00:59,559
I love a garage.
27
00:00:59,559 --> 00:01:01,161
I love a good garage.
28
00:01:01,161 --> 00:01:02,095
I couldn't agree more.
29
00:01:02,095 --> 00:01:03,496
Man is part of the American
30
00:01:03,496 --> 00:01:04,330
experience, man.
31
00:01:04,330 --> 00:01:06,599
It comes along with automobiles.
32
00:01:06,599 --> 00:01:08,001
I mean, they were first,
33
00:01:08,001 --> 00:01:08,501
you know,
34
00:01:08,635 --> 00:01:10,703
made and built to house automobiles.
35
00:01:11,104 --> 00:01:12,272
But what they have turned
36
00:01:12,272 --> 00:01:14,107
into over the years
37
00:01:14,107 --> 00:01:16,476
as pretty incredible, is as American
38
00:01:16,476 --> 00:01:18,478
as Highway 66. Man.
39
00:01:18,478 --> 00:01:20,580
And so many things coming out of the
40
00:01:20,814 --> 00:01:22,082
I mean, probably half
41
00:01:22,082 --> 00:01:22,949
the people are three quarters
42
00:01:22,949 --> 00:01:23,516
people listening to it
43
00:01:23,516 --> 00:01:26,186
started in the garage in their business.
44
00:01:26,786 --> 00:01:28,855
So I thought,
45
00:01:28,855 --> 00:01:29,055
you know
46
00:01:29,055 --> 00:01:33,026
what, let's kind of talk about garages.
47
00:01:33,026 --> 00:01:34,160
You know.
48
00:01:34,327 --> 00:01:35,195
They're more than
49
00:01:35,195 --> 00:01:36,162
they're more than a place
50
00:01:36,162 --> 00:01:37,097
that for a long time,
51
00:01:37,097 --> 00:01:38,598
they've been more than a place to just
52
00:01:38,598 --> 00:01:39,966
store a car. I mean,
53
00:01:41,267 --> 00:01:43,636
their stores, bases are offices, offices.
54
00:01:43,636 --> 00:01:44,437
There's man caves.
55
00:01:44,437 --> 00:01:46,473
But what I like most about them
56
00:01:46,473 --> 00:01:47,907
is they're where they are,
57
00:01:47,907 --> 00:01:50,110
where dreams take off.
58
00:01:50,110 --> 00:01:50,844
Right?
59
00:01:51,311 --> 00:01:52,078
I mean,
60
00:01:52,078 --> 00:01:53,313
look at how many businesses
61
00:01:53,313 --> 00:01:55,949
started in the garage somewhere.
62
00:01:55,949 --> 00:01:58,084
And it's it's pretty amazing.
63
00:01:59,185 --> 00:02:01,054
You know, it's got a good garage.
64
00:02:01,054 --> 00:02:02,222
Who's at
65
00:02:02,655 --> 00:02:04,891
Rowdy up in Michigan?
66
00:02:04,891 --> 00:02:06,092
Does it really?
67
00:02:06,092 --> 00:02:06,759
Yeah.
68
00:02:07,193 --> 00:02:08,528
You didn't make it into the house.
69
00:02:08,528 --> 00:02:10,563
You just go to the garage.
70
00:02:10,597 --> 00:02:11,231
No, no.
71
00:02:11,231 --> 00:02:13,366
I'm talking to his garage. His shop.
72
00:02:13,366 --> 00:02:14,834
Oh, okay. Yeah.
73
00:02:14,834 --> 00:02:16,069
I mean, he's got a good
74
00:02:16,069 --> 00:02:17,704
he's got a good place.
75
00:02:17,704 --> 00:02:18,872
He's got two beer,
76
00:02:18,872 --> 00:02:20,173
refrigerators, one on each.
77
00:02:20,173 --> 00:02:20,773
And
78
00:02:21,841 --> 00:02:23,910
and it just seems like
79
00:02:23,910 --> 00:02:25,612
everybody is very comfortable.
80
00:02:25,612 --> 00:02:27,413
His guys are.
81
00:02:27,514 --> 00:02:29,249
I think that's a really good sign
82
00:02:29,249 --> 00:02:30,283
of a good garage
83
00:02:30,283 --> 00:02:33,286
or a good shop where people come back,
84
00:02:33,286 --> 00:02:35,088
crack a beer, talk about the
85
00:02:35,088 --> 00:02:37,157
they talk about tomorrow.
86
00:02:37,157 --> 00:02:39,225
I had some good vibes up in his place.
87
00:02:39,225 --> 00:02:40,493
So when you said garage,
88
00:02:40,493 --> 00:02:42,829
that was just one of the first ones that
89
00:02:42,829 --> 00:02:45,732
popped into my head.
90
00:02:46,099 --> 00:02:47,200
I'll tell you another,
91
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,802
I would take I would love to have
92
00:02:49,802 --> 00:02:50,937
Jeff sees his garage.
93
00:02:52,572 --> 00:02:54,541
He's got a super nice garage, too.
94
00:02:54,541 --> 00:02:56,643
Does he really? Yeah. Hmm.
95
00:02:56,643 --> 00:02:57,610
All right, Rob, I'm.
96
00:02:57,610 --> 00:02:58,978
I'm going to lift off on the list
97
00:02:58,978 --> 00:03:00,246
of some companies, Rob,
98
00:03:00,246 --> 00:03:03,183
that started in a garage. Okay.
99
00:03:03,183 --> 00:03:04,050
All right.
100
00:03:04,350 --> 00:03:05,351
Go.
101
00:03:05,351 --> 00:03:07,921
Disney started in the garage.
102
00:03:08,688 --> 00:03:10,857
Hewlett Packard started in a garage.
103
00:03:10,857 --> 00:03:12,692
Apple started in a garage.
104
00:03:12,692 --> 00:03:14,060
Microsoft.
105
00:03:14,060 --> 00:03:15,428
Dell.
106
00:03:15,495 --> 00:03:17,163
Virgin Airlines is Virgin Airlines.
107
00:03:17,163 --> 00:03:18,364
Yep. Virgin.
108
00:03:18,364 --> 00:03:20,200
Amazon. Google.
109
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,467
Mattel.
110
00:03:21,701 --> 00:03:22,936
Mag Life.
111
00:03:22,936 --> 00:03:24,070
Yankee Yankee
112
00:03:24,070 --> 00:03:26,005
Candle Company, Harley-Davidson.
113
00:03:26,005 --> 00:03:27,574
These are all American companies
114
00:03:27,574 --> 00:03:29,008
that started in a garage somewhere.
115
00:03:29,008 --> 00:03:30,310
And that's the beauty of these
116
00:03:30,310 --> 00:03:32,011
of a garage, man.
117
00:03:32,011 --> 00:03:33,313
You know when
118
00:03:33,313 --> 00:03:34,747
because that's where dreams start, man.
119
00:03:34,747 --> 00:03:35,949
One guy says he's going to he's
120
00:03:35,949 --> 00:03:36,783
going to do his own floor
121
00:03:36,783 --> 00:03:37,984
business, whatever.
122
00:03:37,984 --> 00:03:38,618
That's where,
123
00:03:38,618 --> 00:03:40,587
you know, more than likely
124
00:03:40,587 --> 00:03:42,655
it probably started in a garage.
125
00:03:42,655 --> 00:03:43,923
Tinkering in a garage is one
126
00:03:43,923 --> 00:03:44,591
of the greatest
127
00:03:45,625 --> 00:03:46,125
things that's
128
00:03:46,125 --> 00:03:48,094
happened to this country, in fact.
129
00:03:48,094 --> 00:03:49,128
I mean, that's where,
130
00:03:49,128 --> 00:03:49,562
like I said,
131
00:03:49,562 --> 00:03:50,263
just somebody
132
00:03:50,263 --> 00:03:51,831
tinkering on on a motorcycle
133
00:03:51,831 --> 00:03:53,333
turn into Harley Davidson,
134
00:03:53,333 --> 00:03:55,201
someone tinkering on some type of machine
135
00:03:55,201 --> 00:03:57,303
that he invented or whatever she invented
136
00:03:57,303 --> 00:03:58,972
turned into something else.
137
00:03:58,972 --> 00:04:00,840
And it all started in a garage.
138
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,008
I'm actually a little concerned
139
00:04:02,008 --> 00:04:04,043
that grudges are kind of going away.
140
00:04:04,043 --> 00:04:04,978
I mean, with the housing
141
00:04:04,978 --> 00:04:06,779
and people having townhouses
142
00:04:06,779 --> 00:04:08,248
and, you know, and condos
143
00:04:08,248 --> 00:04:10,516
and stuff like that, just like
144
00:04:11,551 --> 00:04:12,752
just like
145
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,990
wood, wood shops in high school.
146
00:04:16,990 --> 00:04:19,492
I think the American Garage Man is is a
147
00:04:20,326 --> 00:04:21,427
look at weightlifting.
148
00:04:21,427 --> 00:04:21,961
I started
149
00:04:21,961 --> 00:04:23,696
I started lifting weights in the garage.
150
00:04:23,696 --> 00:04:24,330
Okay.
151
00:04:24,330 --> 00:04:27,033
Well, maybe that's not a good example.
152
00:04:27,033 --> 00:04:28,534
That's where things go wrong.
153
00:04:28,534 --> 00:04:29,235
But,
154
00:04:30,270 --> 00:04:31,137
you know, when I
155
00:04:31,137 --> 00:04:31,804
when I first started
156
00:04:31,804 --> 00:04:33,006
living with my brother in the garage,
157
00:04:33,006 --> 00:04:34,440
we got serious about lifting weights.
158
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:34,974
And believe me,
159
00:04:34,974 --> 00:04:37,277
I'm telling you as a fat old guy,
160
00:04:37,277 --> 00:04:39,379
so don't think I'm trying to, you know,
161
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:41,914
go on about how strong I was. I'm not.
162
00:04:41,914 --> 00:04:43,349
We know how strong you are.
163
00:04:43,349 --> 00:04:44,450
We know you go to the gym.
164
00:04:44,450 --> 00:04:46,319
We know everybody. Knows that.
165
00:04:46,319 --> 00:04:47,020
I am.
166
00:04:47,220 --> 00:04:48,354
We. Yes, we.
167
00:04:48,354 --> 00:04:50,023
Have been the gym in a while lately.
168
00:04:50,023 --> 00:04:51,991
I kind of fell off the track, but
169
00:04:53,092 --> 00:04:54,060
but you know what?
170
00:04:54,060 --> 00:04:54,727
So we had
171
00:04:54,727 --> 00:04:56,763
two things that that that motivated me.
172
00:04:57,096 --> 00:04:59,699
I had Arnold Schwarzenegger's
173
00:04:59,699 --> 00:05:00,433
encyclopedia
174
00:05:00,433 --> 00:05:02,268
of encyclopedia, bodybuilding,
175
00:05:02,268 --> 00:05:02,935
believe it or not,
176
00:05:02,935 --> 00:05:04,537
and then we worked out in the garage.
177
00:05:04,537 --> 00:05:05,772
But let me tell you what we did
178
00:05:05,772 --> 00:05:07,407
when we did Arms, for instance.
179
00:05:07,407 --> 00:05:09,709
This was I this came to me.
180
00:05:09,909 --> 00:05:10,977
If you ever do an arm curl,
181
00:05:10,977 --> 00:05:12,945
here was a guy doing arm curls.
182
00:05:12,945 --> 00:05:15,615
No, never absolutely have.
183
00:05:15,615 --> 00:05:19,052
I have never watched a guy do arm curls.
184
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:21,287
That was a man test right there.
185
00:05:21,287 --> 00:05:22,088
Yeah.
186
00:05:22,555 --> 00:05:23,990
Okay. Good answer.
187
00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:24,891
All right.
188
00:05:25,591 --> 00:05:26,459
If you're in the gym
189
00:05:26,459 --> 00:05:28,494
and you watch guys do arm curls,
190
00:05:28,494 --> 00:05:32,365
actually most most movements in a gym,
191
00:05:32,365 --> 00:05:34,167
most guys are not not lifting
192
00:05:34,167 --> 00:05:35,401
weights properly.
193
00:05:35,401 --> 00:05:36,035
A lot of times
194
00:05:36,035 --> 00:05:37,103
they're swinging their back
195
00:05:37,103 --> 00:05:38,171
and they're doing arm girls,
196
00:05:38,171 --> 00:05:39,205
but they're swinging their back
197
00:05:39,205 --> 00:05:39,939
and they're throwing it up
198
00:05:39,939 --> 00:05:40,373
with everything
199
00:05:40,373 --> 00:05:41,641
and using every ounce of their body,
200
00:05:41,641 --> 00:05:43,609
their legs, their toes, their back.
201
00:05:43,609 --> 00:05:45,211
And there's everything else to get that
202
00:05:45,211 --> 00:05:48,047
so they can go, oh I arm curl £220 today.
203
00:05:48,981 --> 00:05:51,150
Well no, that's
204
00:05:51,150 --> 00:05:52,285
like a guy saying yeah
205
00:05:52,285 --> 00:05:52,919
what do you bench and
206
00:05:52,919 --> 00:05:53,820
and I hate people asking
207
00:05:53,820 --> 00:05:54,554
what do you bench
208
00:05:54,554 --> 00:05:56,556
I there's no man on earth
209
00:05:56,789 --> 00:05:57,857
that has not lied
210
00:05:57,857 --> 00:05:59,392
about how much you benches.
211
00:05:59,392 --> 00:06:01,561
What do you bench. Yes.
212
00:06:01,561 --> 00:06:03,629
There are certain life sets ever.
213
00:06:03,629 --> 00:06:04,564
What do you bench.
214
00:06:04,564 --> 00:06:06,766
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
215
00:06:06,766 --> 00:06:07,700
And I've talked about it
216
00:06:07,700 --> 00:06:08,501
on the show before,
217
00:06:08,501 --> 00:06:10,903
I won't say it again, but
218
00:06:10,903 --> 00:06:11,337
they'll go,
219
00:06:11,337 --> 00:06:13,773
what do you bench Saturday Night Live?
220
00:06:13,773 --> 00:06:15,441
You will not be able to stop laughing.
221
00:06:16,442 --> 00:06:17,510
I've never met
222
00:06:17,510 --> 00:06:18,611
someone that I believe them
223
00:06:18,611 --> 00:06:20,346
when they tell me what they bench,
224
00:06:20,346 --> 00:06:21,247
because at the height
225
00:06:21,247 --> 00:06:22,181
of my lifting weights
226
00:06:22,181 --> 00:06:23,883
when I was as strong as I've ever been,
227
00:06:23,883 --> 00:06:24,984
I've been in the gym.
228
00:06:24,984 --> 00:06:26,486
I mean, I have been in the gym
229
00:06:26,486 --> 00:06:28,821
and I mean, never miss a workout.
230
00:06:28,821 --> 00:06:29,088
I mean,
231
00:06:29,088 --> 00:06:30,156
drink and protein
232
00:06:30,156 --> 00:06:30,790
shakes and blah,
233
00:06:30,790 --> 00:06:32,191
blah, blah, doing everything.
234
00:06:32,191 --> 00:06:33,993
And then I talk to a guy and I go
235
00:06:33,993 --> 00:06:35,461
and he says, you know, you workout.
236
00:06:35,461 --> 00:06:37,029
Yeah, workout out. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
237
00:06:37,029 --> 00:06:38,731
Bunch of 380 right now
238
00:06:38,731 --> 00:06:41,234
you couldn't sniff 380 right now.
239
00:06:41,267 --> 00:06:42,001
Okay.
240
00:06:42,869 --> 00:06:44,370
What are you talking about?
241
00:06:44,370 --> 00:06:45,772
It's not possible
242
00:06:45,772 --> 00:06:47,640
that you're benching 380 right now,
243
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:48,841
you know what I mean?
244
00:06:49,142 --> 00:06:51,043
So, so,
245
00:06:51,043 --> 00:06:51,878
so what we did
246
00:06:51,878 --> 00:06:53,312
with the arm curls because.
247
00:06:53,312 --> 00:06:55,047
Because, you know, we're doing arm curls.
248
00:06:55,047 --> 00:06:56,449
And I realized I was getting that habit
249
00:06:56,449 --> 00:06:57,683
because you get that number in your head.
250
00:06:57,683 --> 00:06:58,651
Like I wanted to get the water
251
00:06:58,651 --> 00:06:59,852
and £10 arm curls.
252
00:06:59,852 --> 00:07:01,854
Right and I got there and they are great.
253
00:07:01,888 --> 00:07:04,323
110 But then I started realizing,
254
00:07:04,323 --> 00:07:06,025
yeah, I am, you know, using my back too
255
00:07:06,025 --> 00:07:06,392
much, whatever.
256
00:07:06,392 --> 00:07:06,926
So here's one.
257
00:07:06,926 --> 00:07:09,028
Your body, you're throwing your back.
258
00:07:09,028 --> 00:07:11,030
Yes. So here's what we did. Rob
259
00:07:11,998 --> 00:07:13,232
the genius right here.
260
00:07:13,232 --> 00:07:14,934
I can't wait. Okay.
261
00:07:14,934 --> 00:07:15,768
So
262
00:07:16,569 --> 00:07:17,470
the the
263
00:07:17,470 --> 00:07:19,205
the garage was not insulated, right?
264
00:07:19,205 --> 00:07:19,939
It was no sheetrock.
265
00:07:19,939 --> 00:07:20,072
Right.
266
00:07:20,072 --> 00:07:20,706
Was just
267
00:07:20,706 --> 00:07:22,909
the studs in two by fours and whatever.
268
00:07:23,509 --> 00:07:24,243
And so,
269
00:07:24,243 --> 00:07:24,544
you know,
270
00:07:24,544 --> 00:07:25,344
the moving dollies,
271
00:07:25,344 --> 00:07:26,179
you know that
272
00:07:26,179 --> 00:07:26,746
you moving stuff,
273
00:07:26,746 --> 00:07:28,548
you have a ratchet on there.
274
00:07:28,548 --> 00:07:31,517
The to tighten stuff up on the dolly.
275
00:07:31,517 --> 00:07:33,119
Yes. Yes. Okay.
276
00:07:33,119 --> 00:07:35,221
The refrigerator dolly. Yes.
277
00:07:35,221 --> 00:07:37,523
So what we did we took that off.
278
00:07:37,523 --> 00:07:40,193
We we, we nailed it to the wall.
279
00:07:40,693 --> 00:07:42,628
So I stand against the wall.
280
00:07:42,628 --> 00:07:47,500
My brother wrenches me to the wall.
281
00:07:47,500 --> 00:07:49,569
So it's not even possible
282
00:07:49,569 --> 00:07:49,936
for you to move.
283
00:07:49,936 --> 00:07:51,637
Then he hands you the bar.
284
00:07:51,637 --> 00:07:53,239
Okay? Yeah.
285
00:07:53,239 --> 00:07:53,539
Yes.
286
00:07:53,539 --> 00:07:55,208
You're suffocating as this is happening.
287
00:07:55,208 --> 00:07:55,975
You can't breathe
288
00:07:55,975 --> 00:07:57,477
because it's going to cross your chest
289
00:07:57,477 --> 00:07:59,445
so, so, so tightly.
290
00:07:59,445 --> 00:08:00,580
But it does not allow you
291
00:08:00,580 --> 00:08:02,014
to cheat whatsoever.
292
00:08:02,014 --> 00:08:02,548
So my
293
00:08:02,548 --> 00:08:05,985
my £110 dropped down to more like £80.
294
00:08:05,985 --> 00:08:08,488
So that was real.
295
00:08:08,488 --> 00:08:11,190
But but it all starts in the garage, man.
296
00:08:11,190 --> 00:08:12,725
It's I mean, it's so many dreams
297
00:08:12,725 --> 00:08:14,393
and so many things. Start in a garage.
298
00:08:14,393 --> 00:08:15,828
Look at all the garage bands
299
00:08:16,963 --> 00:08:17,897
that it started out,
300
00:08:17,897 --> 00:08:20,733
just some guy singing and playing in a
301
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,368
I bet any man who's ever played
302
00:08:22,368 --> 00:08:25,771
the drums is relegated to the garage,
303
00:08:25,771 --> 00:08:26,239
you know what I mean?
304
00:08:26,239 --> 00:08:28,140
That's where they got to play.
305
00:08:28,140 --> 00:08:28,674
On the name
306
00:08:28,674 --> 00:08:31,911
of some bands that started in the garage,
307
00:08:31,911 --> 00:08:35,982
the Ramones, no doubt, Nirvana,
308
00:08:36,415 --> 00:08:37,116
Creedence Clearwater
309
00:08:37,116 --> 00:08:39,252
Revival, The Who, Buddy Holly, Weezer,
310
00:08:39,485 --> 00:08:41,854
all bands that started in the garage.
311
00:08:41,854 --> 00:08:44,657
So I bet there's a thousand more
312
00:08:44,690 --> 00:08:47,059
that yes, we would know.
313
00:08:47,059 --> 00:08:48,327
100%.
314
00:08:48,961 --> 00:08:51,097
So for four guys, I mean,
315
00:08:51,864 --> 00:08:52,965
I just thought
316
00:08:52,965 --> 00:08:53,533
and I mean,
317
00:08:53,533 --> 00:08:54,567
they're not particularly nice
318
00:08:54,567 --> 00:08:56,702
looking either, by the way, garages.
319
00:08:56,702 --> 00:08:57,937
I, you know,
320
00:08:57,937 --> 00:08:58,938
I don't like a garage
321
00:08:58,938 --> 00:08:59,972
that's a part of the house.
322
00:08:59,972 --> 00:09:00,473
When you drive
323
00:09:00,473 --> 00:09:01,741
up, you pull into the driveway
324
00:09:01,741 --> 00:09:03,142
and it's part of the house.
325
00:09:03,142 --> 00:09:04,176
Mm hmm.
326
00:09:04,176 --> 00:09:06,245
I don't think that's a good luck.
327
00:09:06,245 --> 00:09:07,346
I mean, yeah, I just don't.
328
00:09:07,346 --> 00:09:08,180
But what are you going to do?
329
00:09:08,180 --> 00:09:08,948
I mean, you got to have it.
330
00:09:10,049 --> 00:09:10,883
It's become, like, the
331
00:09:10,883 --> 00:09:12,919
most important room in the house
332
00:09:12,919 --> 00:09:14,086
for men, you know?
333
00:09:14,086 --> 00:09:15,054
I mean, that's where you go in.
334
00:09:15,054 --> 00:09:16,022
That's where you go. And you.
335
00:09:16,022 --> 00:09:18,090
You tinker with stuff, you get out.
336
00:09:18,090 --> 00:09:18,658
You know what I mean?
337
00:09:18,658 --> 00:09:20,493
That's your own world right there.
338
00:09:20,493 --> 00:09:22,395
And I still remember my uncle that I did
339
00:09:22,395 --> 00:09:23,896
floors with.
340
00:09:23,896 --> 00:09:25,932
His passion was building hot rods
341
00:09:25,932 --> 00:09:27,600
and he had a Vega.
342
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:27,900
You know,
343
00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:30,336
Vega was not nothing to write home about,
344
00:09:30,336 --> 00:09:31,871
but this was a badass Vega
345
00:09:31,871 --> 00:09:32,972
on planet Earth, man.
346
00:09:32,972 --> 00:09:33,873
I mean, he, you know, they,
347
00:09:33,873 --> 00:09:35,207
you know, he mold
348
00:09:35,207 --> 00:09:36,776
he took off the door handles,
349
00:09:36,776 --> 00:09:39,111
you know I mean where there's no it's all
350
00:09:39,111 --> 00:09:40,713
and and had the tires on there
351
00:09:40,713 --> 00:09:42,048
like massive tires on the back
352
00:09:42,048 --> 00:09:43,316
he had this all jacked up
353
00:09:43,316 --> 00:09:44,951
and everything had the hood scoop
354
00:09:44,951 --> 00:09:45,651
and everything.
355
00:09:45,651 --> 00:09:46,519
It was a cold and car.
356
00:09:46,519 --> 00:09:48,788
But you are really
357
00:09:48,788 --> 00:09:50,489
you are really showing your age.
358
00:09:50,489 --> 00:09:51,724
I mean, if you're talking about
359
00:09:52,725 --> 00:09:53,926
a Vega.
360
00:09:54,093 --> 00:09:55,528
Well, how about this?
361
00:09:55,528 --> 00:09:56,495
That does it
362
00:09:56,495 --> 00:09:58,331
for anybody who doesn't know.
363
00:09:58,331 --> 00:10:00,132
And there's probably
364
00:10:00,132 --> 00:10:01,434
a ton of people right there
365
00:10:01,434 --> 00:10:04,170
who have no idea who built the Vega.
366
00:10:04,537 --> 00:10:06,872
Yeah. That car company's gone.
367
00:10:06,906 --> 00:10:08,407
You imagine that
368
00:10:08,407 --> 00:10:10,443
there was another car company around
369
00:10:10,443 --> 00:10:13,112
that is not around when we were born.
370
00:10:13,646 --> 00:10:16,048
That's not around today.
371
00:10:16,682 --> 00:10:18,351
Chevrolet didn't build a Vega.
372
00:10:18,351 --> 00:10:19,885
I thought it was American Motors.
373
00:10:19,885 --> 00:10:21,520
Or maybe it was.
374
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:22,521
Maybe you're right. Maybe you're.
375
00:10:22,521 --> 00:10:25,257
I think it was a merc AMC Motor Company.
376
00:10:25,524 --> 00:10:28,294
I thought they had the javelin, the Vega.
377
00:10:29,128 --> 00:10:32,431
Who had the Gremlin.
378
00:10:32,431 --> 00:10:34,667
The Gremlin was another one, remember?
379
00:10:34,667 --> 00:10:35,735
Where's the other half of your car, too?
380
00:10:35,735 --> 00:10:38,004
It's for the commercial.
381
00:10:38,004 --> 00:10:40,740
It's all right.
382
00:10:40,906 --> 00:10:42,642
I might be wrong.
383
00:10:42,642 --> 00:10:43,909
I don't know. I could be wrong.
384
00:10:43,909 --> 00:10:44,777
I don't know. I'm not.
385
00:10:44,777 --> 00:10:45,845
I'm not a car guy.
386
00:10:45,845 --> 00:10:46,712
I am.
387
00:10:46,712 --> 00:10:48,748
I am. So I thought for sure
388
00:10:49,682 --> 00:10:50,416
now you got
389
00:10:50,416 --> 00:10:52,451
me questioning who made the Vega.
390
00:10:53,786 --> 00:10:54,954
I'm going to the phone.
391
00:10:54,954 --> 00:10:56,322
This is what you usually do,
392
00:10:56,322 --> 00:10:57,923
but I'm going to do it.
393
00:10:57,923 --> 00:10:58,824
Okay?
394
00:10:58,824 --> 00:11:01,227
You made
395
00:11:02,461 --> 00:11:03,929
the Vega
396
00:11:04,897 --> 00:11:06,365
two doomed. Doomed.
397
00:11:06,365 --> 00:11:07,633
Exactly.
398
00:11:07,633 --> 00:11:12,538
Dum dum dum dum dum dum dum.
399
00:11:12,538 --> 00:11:14,640
I am so frickin wrong.
400
00:11:16,108 --> 00:11:17,209
You're right.
401
00:11:17,209 --> 00:11:18,110
No kidding.
402
00:11:18,110 --> 00:11:19,712
Chevy made the Vega.
403
00:11:19,712 --> 00:11:21,080
So you broke up a little bit. What?
404
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,449
It was you said.
405
00:11:23,749 --> 00:11:25,117
Wayne was right.
406
00:11:25,117 --> 00:11:26,252
All right.
407
00:11:26,252 --> 00:11:27,553
Chevy Vega.
408
00:11:27,553 --> 00:11:28,220
Yeah.
409
00:11:28,220 --> 00:11:30,289
I think AMC made the Gremlin.
410
00:11:30,556 --> 00:11:32,391
I think you're right on that. Yeah.
411
00:11:32,391 --> 00:11:33,125
The gremlin.
412
00:11:33,125 --> 00:11:34,493
I think they made the javelin.
413
00:11:34,493 --> 00:11:36,095
The matador.
414
00:11:36,095 --> 00:11:37,096
Uh huh.
415
00:11:37,296 --> 00:11:38,664
I. I think they even make.
416
00:11:38,664 --> 00:11:39,632
Remember the pacer.
417
00:11:39,632 --> 00:11:40,366
Remember that car?
418
00:11:40,366 --> 00:11:41,934
Oh, that was the ugliest car on earth.
419
00:11:41,934 --> 00:11:44,403
Yeah, everybody could see.
420
00:11:44,403 --> 00:11:46,472
And that was crazy car.
421
00:11:46,472 --> 00:11:48,841
I think that was American Motors.
422
00:11:48,841 --> 00:11:49,508
I think you're right.
423
00:11:51,477 --> 00:11:53,913
That was the car that put them out.
424
00:11:53,913 --> 00:11:54,980
Well, yeah.
425
00:11:54,980 --> 00:11:57,216
And Ford made the Pinto right?
426
00:11:57,216 --> 00:11:57,817
Yeah.
427
00:11:57,817 --> 00:11:58,784
Ford Pinto.
428
00:11:58,784 --> 00:12:01,654
Yeah. So.
429
00:12:01,854 --> 00:12:02,922
Okay.
430
00:12:03,022 --> 00:12:04,023
All right.
431
00:12:04,190 --> 00:12:06,459
So you said all these great companies
432
00:12:06,459 --> 00:12:07,293
and brands and everything
433
00:12:07,293 --> 00:12:09,228
got their start in a garage.
434
00:12:09,228 --> 00:12:11,497
Yep. You forgot one company.
435
00:12:11,497 --> 00:12:12,431
Okay. Good.
436
00:12:12,431 --> 00:12:14,233
All our Jay Associates
437
00:12:14,233 --> 00:12:16,235
out of East Greenbush, New York.
438
00:12:16,235 --> 00:12:17,403
Started in a garage.
439
00:12:17,403 --> 00:12:22,842
We started in a garage if I had to.
440
00:12:23,175 --> 00:12:26,312
I was 20 years old
441
00:12:26,312 --> 00:12:27,680
and I had to rent a garage.
442
00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:28,314
And I'll tell you
443
00:12:28,314 --> 00:12:29,582
I'll tell you the story
444
00:12:29,582 --> 00:12:33,219
of how I got my first set of equipment,
445
00:12:33,519 --> 00:12:36,088
my own set of equipment
446
00:12:36,088 --> 00:12:38,224
were on a job up in Newark, in New York.
447
00:12:39,325 --> 00:12:42,194
And this old timer walks in and he said,
448
00:12:43,329 --> 00:12:43,729
Yeah,
449
00:12:43,863 --> 00:12:44,163
you know,
450
00:12:44,163 --> 00:12:46,232
my brother died a few months ago.
451
00:12:46,232 --> 00:12:47,399
You guys want to buy
452
00:12:47,399 --> 00:12:48,400
a bunch of the stuff?
453
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:49,502
Here is
454
00:12:49,502 --> 00:12:50,169
he was watching us
455
00:12:50,169 --> 00:12:51,437
saying the bowling alleys, you know.
456
00:12:52,438 --> 00:12:54,240
So I said,
457
00:12:54,607 --> 00:12:55,641
I go, yeah.
458
00:12:55,641 --> 00:12:57,143
And so my dad's like, what?
459
00:12:57,143 --> 00:12:58,878
My dad's screaming over, what's he want?
460
00:12:58,878 --> 00:12:59,345
What's he want?
461
00:12:59,345 --> 00:13:01,413
I go, Nothing, he's good.
462
00:13:01,413 --> 00:13:02,815
He doesn't want anything.
463
00:13:02,815 --> 00:13:04,850
No, he wants to bowl.
464
00:13:04,850 --> 00:13:05,618
Yeah.
465
00:13:05,618 --> 00:13:07,253
So we go back to work.
466
00:13:07,253 --> 00:13:08,821
So I took the guy's number,
467
00:13:08,821 --> 00:13:10,322
didn't say anything.
468
00:13:10,322 --> 00:13:11,924
Now Pete was working on it at that time
469
00:13:11,924 --> 00:13:13,425
and you'll see what's going on.
470
00:13:13,425 --> 00:13:14,460
I said that
471
00:13:14,460 --> 00:13:14,860
that guy
472
00:13:14,860 --> 00:13:17,062
selling a bunch of fluorescent equipment.
473
00:13:17,797 --> 00:13:18,364
Let's go.
474
00:13:18,364 --> 00:13:20,399
Let's go take a look at it, you know?
475
00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:23,502
So we drove up on Saturday,
476
00:13:23,502 --> 00:13:25,471
couple of drums buffers.
477
00:13:25,471 --> 00:13:26,705
The whole thing.
478
00:13:26,705 --> 00:13:29,074
The whole thing. Hmm.
479
00:13:29,074 --> 00:13:32,111
Ladies says, you know, make me an offer.
480
00:13:32,344 --> 00:13:33,279
Well, you know,
481
00:13:33,279 --> 00:13:35,447
I just need this stuff cleaned out.
482
00:13:35,447 --> 00:13:36,816
Get everything out of the basement.
483
00:13:36,816 --> 00:13:37,516
I was like, all right.
484
00:13:38,484 --> 00:13:40,986
I said, Yeah, how's 800 bucks now?
485
00:13:40,986 --> 00:13:42,788
She goes, Oh, that's perfect.
486
00:13:42,788 --> 00:13:44,723
Yeah, that I feel.
487
00:13:44,723 --> 00:13:46,292
Yeah, well, of course. Yeah, I.
488
00:13:46,292 --> 00:13:48,394
Am going straight to hell on that. One.
489
00:13:48,594 --> 00:13:50,262
Yes, yes.
490
00:13:50,262 --> 00:13:50,896
Absolutely.
491
00:13:50,896 --> 00:13:52,765
Oh, you take advantage of widow.
492
00:13:52,765 --> 00:13:53,732
Aren't you a good guy?
493
00:13:53,732 --> 00:13:54,800
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
494
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:55,701
I always told myself
495
00:13:55,701 --> 00:13:58,170
she nailed it in the life insurance.
496
00:13:58,170 --> 00:13:58,838
There you go.
497
00:13:58,838 --> 00:13:59,705
Yeah, yeah.
498
00:13:59,705 --> 00:14:02,107
You said every I had everything paper
499
00:14:03,209 --> 00:14:06,846
bait, rolls of paper Naylor's everything.
500
00:14:06,846 --> 00:14:09,315
Just think about it right
501
00:14:10,482 --> 00:14:12,284
when I'm putting all this stuff in
502
00:14:12,284 --> 00:14:14,587
the garage, in the truck
503
00:14:14,587 --> 00:14:15,988
and Pete goes, we're going to put it
504
00:14:15,988 --> 00:14:17,223
you can't show your dad.
505
00:14:17,223 --> 00:14:19,391
He'll, he'll flip. Right.
506
00:14:19,391 --> 00:14:20,893
Oh yeah.
507
00:14:20,893 --> 00:14:22,194
Because you bought it.
508
00:14:22,194 --> 00:14:23,529
That was his equipment.
509
00:14:23,529 --> 00:14:25,664
He would have bought it. Yes. Yeah.
510
00:14:26,498 --> 00:14:27,466
So and plus.
511
00:14:27,466 --> 00:14:29,969
Or or you're showing him you're leaving.
512
00:14:29,969 --> 00:14:30,236
Right.
513
00:14:31,203 --> 00:14:31,837
Right.
514
00:14:31,837 --> 00:14:32,338
Yeah.
515
00:14:32,338 --> 00:14:35,107
That's so.
516
00:14:35,975 --> 00:14:38,677
So I found this place, the next town over
517
00:14:38,677 --> 00:14:39,612
insular in New York.
518
00:14:39,612 --> 00:14:42,715
I found this garage for rent two car
519
00:14:42,715 --> 00:14:45,951
garage, 35 bucks a month,
520
00:14:47,052 --> 00:14:49,188
two car garage.
521
00:14:49,188 --> 00:14:50,322
It's kind of old, though.
522
00:14:50,322 --> 00:14:52,524
One door didn't work, and the other one,
523
00:14:52,524 --> 00:14:53,259
you know, it's the doors.
524
00:14:53,259 --> 00:14:55,527
It would flip straight up. Yeah.
525
00:14:55,527 --> 00:14:57,062
You know what I mean? Not that. Oh, yeah.
526
00:14:57,062 --> 00:14:59,064
Just like. Oh, so. Yeah, right.
527
00:14:59,131 --> 00:15:00,332
I know what you're talking about.
528
00:15:00,332 --> 00:15:01,033
On that thing
529
00:15:01,033 --> 00:15:03,035
was a mother to get open, but
530
00:15:03,035 --> 00:15:05,004
hey, you know 35 bucks
531
00:15:05,004 --> 00:15:08,674
dirt floor, no concrete.
532
00:15:08,674 --> 00:15:10,876
It was a dirt floor. Was this a resort?
533
00:15:11,343 --> 00:15:12,611
Was this a residence?
534
00:15:12,611 --> 00:15:14,713
It was in the back of a lady's house.
535
00:15:14,713 --> 00:15:16,015
This old house.
536
00:15:16,015 --> 00:15:18,150
Wow. Okay. Okay.
537
00:15:18,150 --> 00:15:19,318
Plus,
538
00:15:19,318 --> 00:15:22,488
the lady who owned it, she was, you know,
539
00:15:22,855 --> 00:15:23,389
I don't know,
540
00:15:23,389 --> 00:15:27,526
seven these trees completely blind.
541
00:15:27,526 --> 00:15:29,228
And she wanted cash.
542
00:15:29,228 --> 00:15:30,162
Yeah. Oh, boy.
543
00:15:30,162 --> 00:15:32,064
One of the meanest ladies you ever saw.
544
00:15:32,064 --> 00:15:33,799
And when they had to pay her,
545
00:15:33,799 --> 00:15:36,702
you had to go in the house and pay her.
546
00:15:36,702 --> 00:15:38,804
So Pauline and I had just started dating.
547
00:15:38,804 --> 00:15:40,940
Like I said, I was 20 years old.
548
00:15:40,940 --> 00:15:42,508
So Pauline would go into the house
549
00:15:42,508 --> 00:15:44,877
with me and count the money out to her.
550
00:15:44,910 --> 00:15:47,446
Right. And the lady be scream it at her.
551
00:15:47,446 --> 00:15:48,914
What is this? What?
552
00:15:48,914 --> 00:15:50,749
What is this? Right.
553
00:15:50,749 --> 00:15:51,850
That's a ten, right?
554
00:15:51,850 --> 00:15:54,720
Yeah, this is a 25.
555
00:15:54,753 --> 00:15:54,987
Right.
556
00:15:54,987 --> 00:15:56,488
And she'd be surprised
557
00:15:56,488 --> 00:15:57,990
she gets she couldn't see a damn thing
558
00:15:59,758 --> 00:16:02,094
but we opened up the garage door
559
00:16:02,461 --> 00:16:03,729
and I saw a workbench in there.
560
00:16:03,729 --> 00:16:05,064
Go, I'll take it as
561
00:16:05,064 --> 00:16:06,899
oh there's ratty old workbench in there.
562
00:16:06,899 --> 00:16:09,134
I'm like, Oh, that's right.
563
00:16:09,134 --> 00:16:10,569
I'm going to make that magic happen
564
00:16:10,569 --> 00:16:12,538
right there on that workbench, man.
565
00:16:12,538 --> 00:16:13,472
I'll tell you.
566
00:16:13,472 --> 00:16:18,577
Rocky Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
567
00:16:18,577 --> 00:16:20,813
So then about three months later,
568
00:16:21,613 --> 00:16:26,218
I buy a motorcycle, a semi chopper.
569
00:16:26,218 --> 00:16:27,853
You that you should have seen me
570
00:16:27,853 --> 00:16:28,420
on there.
571
00:16:28,420 --> 00:16:30,456
I was. I was born to ride.
572
00:16:30,456 --> 00:16:32,558
Yeah. I really was born to ride.
573
00:16:32,858 --> 00:16:33,959
If now
574
00:16:33,959 --> 00:16:36,195
I'm living at home at this time, right?
575
00:16:37,663 --> 00:16:39,765
So now I get I bring a motorcycle home.
576
00:16:39,765 --> 00:16:41,934
My parents are like, no,
577
00:16:41,934 --> 00:16:43,035
you're not going to live here
578
00:16:43,035 --> 00:16:43,669
and driving.
579
00:16:43,669 --> 00:16:44,436
Like they had a friend
580
00:16:44,436 --> 00:16:45,971
that got killed and, you know,
581
00:16:45,971 --> 00:16:48,507
no motorcycles in this house.
582
00:16:48,507 --> 00:16:50,009
So I just started laughing.
583
00:16:50,009 --> 00:16:51,477
Okay, no problem.
584
00:16:51,477 --> 00:16:52,044
I got it.
585
00:16:52,044 --> 00:16:53,012
My own garage.
586
00:16:53,012 --> 00:16:53,712
It's, you know,
587
00:16:53,712 --> 00:16:55,981
you don't even know about, right?
588
00:16:55,981 --> 00:16:58,217
So now I get my motorcycle in there,
589
00:16:58,217 --> 00:17:01,053
get my workbench, all my equipment.
590
00:17:01,053 --> 00:17:03,222
I mean, really. In a double life.
591
00:17:03,222 --> 00:17:04,590
Oh, my God.
592
00:17:04,590 --> 00:17:05,657
It's like heaven.
593
00:17:05,657 --> 00:17:07,893
It's like my own little slice of heaven,
594
00:17:07,893 --> 00:17:08,660
you know?
595
00:17:09,061 --> 00:17:11,096
And I be working on that motorcycle
596
00:17:11,096 --> 00:17:13,198
and just ridden the s*** out of it
597
00:17:13,198 --> 00:17:13,732
and everything.
598
00:17:13,732 --> 00:17:15,000
The old broad,
599
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,302
it'd be screaming out the back and I'll
600
00:17:17,302 --> 00:17:18,504
throw you out. And
601
00:17:19,838 --> 00:17:20,372
it's just
602
00:17:20,372 --> 00:17:24,143
great times that absolutely great times.
603
00:17:24,143 --> 00:17:25,778
I wish I had that garage today.
604
00:17:25,778 --> 00:17:28,313
That was a fun place.
605
00:17:28,514 --> 00:17:30,883
When when you and I were first
606
00:17:30,883 --> 00:17:32,151
going out together, when we
607
00:17:32,151 --> 00:17:33,385
our first apartment was
608
00:17:33,385 --> 00:17:35,454
was was a house behind another house
609
00:17:35,954 --> 00:17:37,589
above a garage.
610
00:17:37,589 --> 00:17:37,923
Okay.
611
00:17:37,923 --> 00:17:40,592
And one of the neighbors used to graduate
612
00:17:40,592 --> 00:17:42,361
parked the Volkswagen in there.
613
00:17:42,361 --> 00:17:43,195
So the first night
614
00:17:43,195 --> 00:17:45,631
that we stayed there together,
615
00:17:45,631 --> 00:17:46,832
we're in the house, you know,
616
00:17:46,832 --> 00:17:47,933
and then we hear
617
00:17:47,933 --> 00:17:49,802
the neighbor from each side come in
618
00:17:49,802 --> 00:17:51,503
and they're underneath the house talking.
619
00:17:51,503 --> 00:17:52,337
Right.
620
00:17:52,638 --> 00:17:54,907
And the one guy goes
621
00:17:55,741 --> 00:17:56,675
and then we're being quiet.
622
00:17:56,675 --> 00:17:57,376
You can't you know, we're
623
00:17:57,376 --> 00:17:58,710
just being real quiet and everything.
624
00:17:58,710 --> 00:18:00,579
And the one guy goes, the other one goes.
625
00:18:00,579 --> 00:18:02,281
I guess you rented the place out, huh?
626
00:18:02,281 --> 00:18:03,348
You go, Yeah.
627
00:18:03,348 --> 00:18:04,683
You know, he said that you meet him.
628
00:18:04,683 --> 00:18:05,951
He goes, Yeah, young couple.
629
00:18:05,951 --> 00:18:06,852
He goes,
630
00:18:07,219 --> 00:18:09,555
She seems like she's all right, you know,
631
00:18:09,555 --> 00:18:11,723
and I'm waiting for what's he like.
632
00:18:11,723 --> 00:18:13,225
You know, to me, nothing.
633
00:18:15,027 --> 00:18:15,360
Nothing.
634
00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:17,229
That's all. That's all that.
635
00:18:17,229 --> 00:18:19,665
But the guy started his Volkswagen,
636
00:18:20,532 --> 00:18:23,068
rob the fumes that came up through that.
637
00:18:23,569 --> 00:18:24,203
That garage
638
00:18:24,203 --> 00:18:26,205
up into our apartment was ungodly.
639
00:18:26,205 --> 00:18:28,640
MAN Oh.
640
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,042
340 bucks a month.
641
00:18:30,042 --> 00:18:32,344
And I think it was like 340 square feet.
642
00:18:33,212 --> 00:18:34,746
It was no bigger than that.
643
00:18:34,746 --> 00:18:37,950
And that was she was going to school and
644
00:18:38,183 --> 00:18:40,119
but that's the garage where we
645
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,121
we started the same thing.
646
00:18:42,121 --> 00:18:43,489
We bought our Sanders
647
00:18:43,489 --> 00:18:44,590
we put everything down there.
648
00:18:44,590 --> 00:18:45,757
We start our wood down there.
649
00:18:45,757 --> 00:18:47,926
We that started our business down there
650
00:18:47,926 --> 00:18:49,561
in that garage down there
651
00:18:49,561 --> 00:18:51,997
and the lifts, the weights down there,
652
00:18:52,097 --> 00:18:52,598
everything.
653
00:18:52,598 --> 00:18:53,999
Everything started down there, man.
654
00:18:53,999 --> 00:18:55,801
And I still have plate
655
00:18:55,801 --> 00:18:56,635
where my notes, where
656
00:18:56,635 --> 00:18:57,603
I put my notes up there
657
00:18:57,603 --> 00:18:59,104
for different jobs and everything.
658
00:18:59,104 --> 00:19:01,140
And I mean, I don't think it was a
659
00:19:01,540 --> 00:19:03,642
maybe it was like an eight by 12,
660
00:19:03,642 --> 00:19:04,209
you know what I mean?
661
00:19:04,209 --> 00:19:05,010
I don't think any white
662
00:19:05,010 --> 00:19:06,678
or nattering bigger than that,
663
00:19:06,678 --> 00:19:08,547
but that was where we started, man.
664
00:19:08,547 --> 00:19:09,248
And I think so
665
00:19:09,248 --> 00:19:11,216
many guys in this business,
666
00:19:11,216 --> 00:19:13,118
that's where they started in a garage.
667
00:19:13,118 --> 00:19:15,220
And you wonder if they didn't have that.
668
00:19:15,721 --> 00:19:18,023
I guess now storage spaces are current.
669
00:19:18,090 --> 00:19:19,525
Take the place of a lot of garages.
670
00:19:19,525 --> 00:19:20,192
Right?
671
00:19:20,526 --> 00:19:21,994
But yeah.
672
00:19:21,994 --> 00:19:24,463
But I don't know. There's this, uh.
673
00:19:25,697 --> 00:19:26,031
You.
674
00:19:26,331 --> 00:19:27,099
No, I've never
675
00:19:27,099 --> 00:19:29,301
seen anybody hanging in a storage space.
676
00:19:30,135 --> 00:19:32,771
Unfortunately, I have, but.
677
00:19:32,771 --> 00:19:33,872
Oh, that's right.
678
00:19:33,872 --> 00:19:35,107
You're from California.
679
00:19:35,107 --> 00:19:36,975
Yeah. Yeah. So. Yeah, so.
680
00:19:36,975 --> 00:19:37,976
Yeah, you've probably got people
681
00:19:37,976 --> 00:19:40,045
living in storage. Well, we. We do.
682
00:19:40,045 --> 00:19:41,213
We absolutely did.
683
00:19:41,213 --> 00:19:41,713
I mean, you know,
684
00:19:41,713 --> 00:19:43,215
we went from having a storage place
685
00:19:43,215 --> 00:19:43,682
and whatever.
686
00:19:43,682 --> 00:19:44,616
Then pretty soon
687
00:19:44,616 --> 00:19:45,484
you realize this guy,
688
00:19:45,484 --> 00:19:46,518
oh, he's actually living in
689
00:19:46,518 --> 00:19:48,086
that one two doors down from you
690
00:19:48,086 --> 00:19:49,221
and then another guy lives,
691
00:19:49,221 --> 00:19:49,655
you know what I mean?
692
00:19:49,655 --> 00:19:51,223
So it's kind of sad.
693
00:19:51,223 --> 00:19:51,423
But I
694
00:19:51,423 --> 00:19:51,990
also I told you
695
00:19:51,990 --> 00:19:53,058
before the rent went from like
696
00:19:53,058 --> 00:19:54,560
300 bucks a month
697
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:55,661
to 800 bucks a month
698
00:19:55,661 --> 00:19:57,329
for those storage units.
699
00:19:57,329 --> 00:19:57,796
But,
700
00:19:58,764 --> 00:19:59,531
you know, like I say,
701
00:19:59,531 --> 00:20:00,933
that's California prices.
702
00:20:00,933 --> 00:20:03,101
But yeah.
703
00:20:03,635 --> 00:20:04,469
What town was that?
704
00:20:04,469 --> 00:20:07,005
Garaging apartment.
705
00:20:07,005 --> 00:20:08,974
San Leandro.
706
00:20:08,974 --> 00:20:10,075
Yeah, San Leandro.
707
00:20:10,075 --> 00:20:12,644
Where we lived a few miles from Oakland.
708
00:20:12,644 --> 00:20:15,380
Okay. Yeah. But
709
00:20:16,448 --> 00:20:17,649
hey, you
710
00:20:17,649 --> 00:20:19,718
know, there's a little sidebar to that
711
00:20:20,852 --> 00:20:23,222
that story about the
712
00:20:23,222 --> 00:20:25,757
my garage.
713
00:20:25,757 --> 00:20:28,560
So Pete and I are doing side jobs,
714
00:20:29,461 --> 00:20:30,529
not really
715
00:20:30,629 --> 00:20:32,197
talking to the old man about it,
716
00:20:32,197 --> 00:20:32,831
you know what I mean?
717
00:20:32,831 --> 00:20:36,902
Not nobody really knew.
718
00:20:36,902 --> 00:20:39,271
And then we're on a side job. Yeah.
719
00:20:39,338 --> 00:20:43,675
Couple of towns away.
720
00:20:43,675 --> 00:20:45,143
And who walks through the front
721
00:20:45,143 --> 00:20:46,645
door of the job?
722
00:20:47,212 --> 00:20:48,447
No kidding.
723
00:20:48,447 --> 00:20:51,183
He does that right,
724
00:20:51,350 --> 00:20:52,317
Dad?
725
00:20:52,317 --> 00:20:54,853
Right to the front door. That job.
726
00:20:55,254 --> 00:20:55,821
Oh, man.
727
00:20:55,821 --> 00:20:59,224
Big smile on his face.
728
00:20:59,224 --> 00:21:00,859
He goes up
729
00:21:01,360 --> 00:21:03,762
to get all this equipment.
730
00:21:03,762 --> 00:21:05,797
He said it was that old guy up in Utica,
731
00:21:05,797 --> 00:21:06,265
wasn't it?
732
00:21:06,265 --> 00:21:08,267
And I was like, home. Wow.
733
00:21:08,267 --> 00:21:09,268
No kidding.
734
00:21:09,268 --> 00:21:10,669
Oh, my God.
735
00:21:10,669 --> 00:21:14,373
How did he how the hell did he
736
00:21:15,407 --> 00:21:17,242
how did he know this? Right.
737
00:21:17,242 --> 00:21:18,243
And I'm like,
738
00:21:18,243 --> 00:21:19,378
well, you know, back then
739
00:21:19,378 --> 00:21:20,479
we had an eight man crew.
740
00:21:20,479 --> 00:21:23,148
So very tough to keep a secret.
741
00:21:23,515 --> 00:21:24,216
Yeah, right.
742
00:21:24,216 --> 00:21:26,418
Four guys love to talk. Yeah.
743
00:21:26,418 --> 00:21:27,919
Most of the time the machines are gone.
744
00:21:27,919 --> 00:21:29,388
So when they turn the machine off
745
00:21:29,388 --> 00:21:33,759
right there, chatty Cathy door, right.
746
00:21:33,759 --> 00:21:34,793
So.
747
00:21:34,926 --> 00:21:35,427
Yeah,
748
00:21:35,427 --> 00:21:36,328
the old man walks
749
00:21:36,328 --> 00:21:38,997
it big smile on his face.
750
00:21:38,997 --> 00:21:40,465
So would you pay for
751
00:21:40,465 --> 00:21:42,200
I said, you know, I don't know.
752
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,169
800 850, whatever.
753
00:21:44,169 --> 00:21:47,806
And he goes, okay, well he goes, You
754
00:21:47,806 --> 00:21:48,273
owe me this.
755
00:21:48,273 --> 00:21:50,642
He goes, This is really my equipment
756
00:21:51,343 --> 00:21:53,979
because you bought this on my time,
757
00:21:53,979 --> 00:21:56,014
I was paying you.
758
00:21:56,014 --> 00:21:58,517
So you actually bought this equipment
759
00:21:58,517 --> 00:21:59,117
from me,
760
00:22:00,319 --> 00:22:02,654
so you owe me
761
00:22:02,654 --> 00:22:03,455
this 800
762
00:22:03,455 --> 00:22:03,989
and he goes
763
00:22:03,989 --> 00:22:06,525
and it's worth a lot more than 800.
764
00:22:06,525 --> 00:22:08,460
I haven't decided what you owe me,
765
00:22:08,460 --> 00:22:10,262
but it's going to be more than 800
766
00:22:10,262 --> 00:22:13,432
because you bought this on my time.
767
00:22:13,965 --> 00:22:16,234
Well, is it a mafia?
768
00:22:16,401 --> 00:22:17,536
Yeah, my.
769
00:22:17,536 --> 00:22:20,372
My dad lived for things like this.
770
00:22:21,206 --> 00:22:21,840
Yeah.
771
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:22,708
E
772
00:22:23,208 --> 00:22:24,409
and of course, he never charged
773
00:22:24,409 --> 00:22:25,344
me, right?
774
00:22:25,344 --> 00:22:26,678
He never charged eight.
775
00:22:26,678 --> 00:22:29,314
He's just holding it over my head,
776
00:22:29,581 --> 00:22:31,083
you know, just, just having
777
00:22:31,083 --> 00:22:32,784
a, a ball with it, you know?
778
00:22:32,784 --> 00:22:35,654
Yeah, yeah.
779
00:22:35,654 --> 00:22:36,655
Well, one of the reasons
780
00:22:36,655 --> 00:22:38,790
I want to say this about this episode,
781
00:22:38,790 --> 00:22:39,391
we're kind of caught
782
00:22:39,391 --> 00:22:41,760
my attention about this is that,
783
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:42,094
you know,
784
00:22:42,094 --> 00:22:44,162
don't let anybody squash your dreams
785
00:22:44,162 --> 00:22:46,331
if you're starting out very small
786
00:22:46,732 --> 00:22:48,800
and with you don't have a shop
787
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:49,301
or whatever,
788
00:22:49,301 --> 00:22:50,802
you're working out of a small garage.
789
00:22:50,802 --> 00:22:51,737
And and that's
790
00:22:51,737 --> 00:22:53,572
where or even even 30 years
791
00:22:53,572 --> 00:22:54,606
from from doing floors.
792
00:22:54,606 --> 00:22:56,575
You're working in a garage.
793
00:22:56,575 --> 00:22:58,844
That's that's you know, that's
794
00:22:58,844 --> 00:23:01,179
the beauty of the American spirit, man,
795
00:23:01,179 --> 00:23:02,247
in being an entrepreneur.
796
00:23:02,247 --> 00:23:02,948
Entrepreneur.
797
00:23:02,948 --> 00:23:04,449
And and having,
798
00:23:04,449 --> 00:23:04,683
you know,
799
00:23:04,683 --> 00:23:05,784
that you're a piece of the pie
800
00:23:05,784 --> 00:23:06,251
and everything.
801
00:23:06,251 --> 00:23:08,420
So I don't think there's a damn
802
00:23:08,420 --> 00:23:09,721
thing wrong with it. And
803
00:23:10,956 --> 00:23:12,057
in the end, sometimes it
804
00:23:12,057 --> 00:23:13,825
saves a lot of headaches.
805
00:23:13,825 --> 00:23:15,494
And I've seen guys go from garages
806
00:23:15,494 --> 00:23:17,829
to big fancy
807
00:23:18,029 --> 00:23:19,231
buildings and what have you
808
00:23:19,231 --> 00:23:19,598
and then
809
00:23:19,598 --> 00:23:21,266
end up going back to the garages
810
00:23:21,266 --> 00:23:23,402
and being more happy than ever.
811
00:23:23,402 --> 00:23:26,238
So not, you know, don't let anybody,
812
00:23:26,605 --> 00:23:26,905
you know,
813
00:23:26,905 --> 00:23:28,206
if you're working out of a garage
814
00:23:28,206 --> 00:23:30,642
or you're just starting it like we did.
815
00:23:30,642 --> 00:23:34,079
I mean, Rob, with no, no, no dirt floor.
816
00:23:34,613 --> 00:23:35,013
Yeah.
817
00:23:35,013 --> 00:23:37,783
I think stolen merchandise and.
818
00:23:38,250 --> 00:23:39,251
Paid
819
00:23:40,118 --> 00:23:41,553
that was not stolen.
820
00:23:41,553 --> 00:23:42,621
Okay. Okay.
821
00:23:42,621 --> 00:23:43,889
But the more
822
00:23:44,222 --> 00:23:44,923
I had a good year
823
00:23:44,923 --> 00:23:45,624
that year, that year
824
00:23:45,624 --> 00:23:48,827
I bought all my sanding equipment,
825
00:23:48,827 --> 00:23:51,430
800 bucks or 850, I think it was.
826
00:23:51,430 --> 00:23:53,265
I can't remember which one it was.
827
00:23:53,265 --> 00:23:54,399
And I bought the motorcycle
828
00:23:54,399 --> 00:23:55,901
for 400 bucks.
829
00:23:55,901 --> 00:23:57,169
Wow. Wow.
830
00:23:57,169 --> 00:23:59,037
Oh, yeah. Yeah, it was amazing.
831
00:23:59,037 --> 00:24:00,505
I did all right. Yeah.
832
00:24:00,505 --> 00:24:01,973
Yeah. Well, okay.
833
00:24:01,973 --> 00:24:03,675
So not only was I living in,
834
00:24:03,675 --> 00:24:05,544
you know, working in 300
835
00:24:05,544 --> 00:24:06,812
square foot house
836
00:24:06,812 --> 00:24:09,181
with a working out of a tiny garage.
837
00:24:09,181 --> 00:24:10,682
The first van I bought for doing
838
00:24:10,682 --> 00:24:12,150
floors was in 1965.
839
00:24:12,150 --> 00:24:13,084
I would love to have that van
840
00:24:13,084 --> 00:24:13,885
right now, by the way.
841
00:24:13,885 --> 00:24:14,486
It was, you know,
842
00:24:14,486 --> 00:24:15,754
but it was a three on a column,
843
00:24:15,754 --> 00:24:16,721
you know what I mean?
844
00:24:16,721 --> 00:24:17,889
Well, I mean I mean.
845
00:24:17,889 --> 00:24:19,825
Yes. Three.
846
00:24:19,825 --> 00:24:20,325
Yeah.
847
00:24:20,325 --> 00:24:22,561
And I'm sure I'm not a freeway
848
00:24:22,561 --> 00:24:23,094
one time
849
00:24:23,094 --> 00:24:24,262
and I just have to be next
850
00:24:24,262 --> 00:24:26,398
to another beater, old van. Right.
851
00:24:26,398 --> 00:24:27,199
I'm driving down the road
852
00:24:27,199 --> 00:24:28,800
and all of a sudden
853
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,101
the exhaust is so loud
854
00:24:30,101 --> 00:24:32,137
like a Harley Davidson, right.
855
00:24:32,137 --> 00:24:33,872
And at the same time, I look at him,
856
00:24:33,872 --> 00:24:35,106
he looked at me
857
00:24:35,106 --> 00:24:36,842
and I'm wondering, is that him?
858
00:24:36,842 --> 00:24:38,243
Is that me?
859
00:24:38,376 --> 00:24:39,411
And then I put the clutch in
860
00:24:39,411 --> 00:24:40,846
and I revved it and it was me,
861
00:24:40,846 --> 00:24:41,880
my muffler fell. Off
862
00:24:43,782 --> 00:24:44,082
and I.
863
00:24:44,082 --> 00:24:46,318
Thought, Hell yeah, man, it sounds great.
864
00:24:46,818 --> 00:24:50,422
And yeah.
865
00:24:50,422 --> 00:24:51,990
So, you know, it was a rough start.
866
00:24:51,990 --> 00:24:53,492
Well, listen, when I said we bought our
867
00:24:53,492 --> 00:24:54,726
we bought our first equipment.
868
00:24:54,726 --> 00:24:55,927
You talked about your first equipment.
869
00:24:55,927 --> 00:24:57,662
We bought ours from a guy called
870
00:24:57,662 --> 00:24:59,931
it was t bars and from in the Bay Area
871
00:25:00,432 --> 00:25:02,067
and I think it was 1200 bucks.
872
00:25:02,067 --> 00:25:03,502
I bought the big machine in the edger
873
00:25:03,502 --> 00:25:04,402
for 1200 bucks.
874
00:25:04,402 --> 00:25:06,505
I could not afford the buffer.
875
00:25:06,505 --> 00:25:08,507
And so we work at these apartments
876
00:25:08,507 --> 00:25:10,675
and it was months before we got a buffer.
877
00:25:11,076 --> 00:25:12,611
So everything we everything we braided
878
00:25:12,611 --> 00:25:14,980
between coach was on our hands and knees,
879
00:25:14,980 --> 00:25:15,547
you know what I mean?
880
00:25:15,547 --> 00:25:16,114
That was it.
881
00:25:16,114 --> 00:25:17,282
That and
882
00:25:17,415 --> 00:25:18,984
I could barely afford
883
00:25:18,984 --> 00:25:21,753
the first installation I did.
884
00:25:21,753 --> 00:25:24,022
I my uncle worked for me for one day
885
00:25:24,022 --> 00:25:25,257
and made more money in that one day
886
00:25:25,257 --> 00:25:26,258
than in the whole two weeks.
887
00:25:26,258 --> 00:25:26,992
Because I didn't,
888
00:25:26,992 --> 00:25:28,593
I did it wrong and whatever.
889
00:25:28,593 --> 00:25:29,761
And I didn't have all the equipment.
890
00:25:29,761 --> 00:25:31,730
I didn't have a nailer and a nail
891
00:25:31,730 --> 00:25:34,399
a CAVANAUGH nailer and so they were
892
00:25:34,399 --> 00:25:35,066
there were that
893
00:25:35,066 --> 00:25:35,467
you know
894
00:25:35,467 --> 00:25:38,003
that's a school of hard knocks brother
895
00:25:38,803 --> 00:25:39,771
is what it was.
896
00:25:39,771 --> 00:25:41,273
But you know what, man?
897
00:25:41,273 --> 00:25:43,108
It makes you who you are and
898
00:25:43,108 --> 00:25:43,942
and it just keeps
899
00:25:43,942 --> 00:25:45,010
you just got to keep building
900
00:25:45,010 --> 00:25:46,044
on those mistakes
901
00:25:46,044 --> 00:25:47,812
and problems and challenges
902
00:25:47,812 --> 00:25:49,447
and keep putting your head down and
903
00:25:49,447 --> 00:25:50,749
and moving forward.
904
00:25:50,749 --> 00:25:52,150
And you know what
905
00:25:54,152 --> 00:25:55,620
I, you know,
906
00:25:55,620 --> 00:25:57,222
is nothing like hard work, man.
907
00:25:57,222 --> 00:25:58,156
And, you know,
908
00:25:58,156 --> 00:25:59,858
when you don't have a plan B
909
00:25:59,858 --> 00:26:01,927
and there is no plan B in sight.
910
00:26:01,927 --> 00:26:03,995
Yet.
911
00:26:03,995 --> 00:26:05,063
You ain't got no choice
912
00:26:05,063 --> 00:26:06,398
but making it work.
913
00:26:06,398 --> 00:26:07,432
So
914
00:26:08,333 --> 00:26:09,601
but that's what it was, man.
915
00:26:09,601 --> 00:26:10,502
So I. Bet.
916
00:26:10,502 --> 00:26:11,937
I bet everybody listening to
917
00:26:11,937 --> 00:26:14,739
this show has definitely get some
918
00:26:14,739 --> 00:26:17,075
some really good garage stories.
919
00:26:17,075 --> 00:26:17,709
Yeah.
920
00:26:17,709 --> 00:26:19,744
Hanging out in garages, being.
921
00:26:19,844 --> 00:26:21,179
Oh, absolutely.
922
00:26:21,179 --> 00:26:21,813
Yeah.
923
00:26:21,846 --> 00:26:24,583
So, well, Mars didn't get any bigger that
924
00:26:24,583 --> 00:26:25,617
didn't hold up
925
00:26:25,617 --> 00:26:27,619
the the straps around my arms.
926
00:26:27,619 --> 00:26:28,420
I mean, you know,
927
00:26:28,420 --> 00:26:30,121
it worked for a while, but as a,
928
00:26:30,121 --> 00:26:30,488
you know,
929
00:26:30,488 --> 00:26:30,956
all things
930
00:26:30,956 --> 00:26:34,492
good, all good things come to an end.
931
00:26:34,492 --> 00:26:36,528
That's all I got. A preacher bench.
932
00:26:37,429 --> 00:26:38,697
Yeah. Preacher girls.
933
00:26:38,697 --> 00:26:41,333
Preach across. Know we. Can't cheat.
934
00:26:41,333 --> 00:26:42,901
You can't cheat.
935
00:26:42,901 --> 00:26:44,169
You can.
936
00:26:44,336 --> 00:26:44,903
I know.
937
00:26:44,903 --> 00:26:46,471
I know what they say. Well, you remember.
938
00:26:46,471 --> 00:26:47,005
What was. It?
939
00:26:47,005 --> 00:26:48,807
I haven't figured out how to cheat on.
940
00:26:50,141 --> 00:26:52,677
There was also the preacher bench.
941
00:26:52,677 --> 00:26:53,712
What was the name of that bar?
942
00:26:53,712 --> 00:26:55,780
They put the bar around your neck also
943
00:26:55,780 --> 00:26:57,782
and you did arm curls with that mirror.
944
00:26:57,782 --> 00:27:00,251
Those know.
945
00:27:00,251 --> 00:27:01,353
Oh, man,
946
00:27:01,353 --> 00:27:02,487
everybody used to have them back then.
947
00:27:02,487 --> 00:27:03,922
I don't know, whatever.
948
00:27:05,023 --> 00:27:06,358
So yeah
949
00:27:06,658 --> 00:27:07,525
I know what
950
00:27:07,525 --> 00:27:08,193
you know what I learned out of
951
00:27:08,193 --> 00:27:09,361
with lifting weights.
952
00:27:09,361 --> 00:27:10,061
You know what I learned out
953
00:27:10,061 --> 00:27:11,763
of all the years of lifting weights?
954
00:27:11,763 --> 00:27:12,530
What's that
955
00:27:12,530 --> 00:27:14,766
is whoever the whoever the man said
956
00:27:15,433 --> 00:27:16,568
thousands of years ago
957
00:27:16,568 --> 00:27:18,003
that moderation is key.
958
00:27:18,003 --> 00:27:19,170
Was right.
959
00:27:20,238 --> 00:27:21,873
You know what?
960
00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:24,075
All them squats, them heavy
961
00:27:24,075 --> 00:27:26,277
lifting, heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy
962
00:27:26,277 --> 00:27:28,013
and all the fencing and all that.
963
00:27:28,013 --> 00:27:28,647
You know what I mean?
964
00:27:28,647 --> 00:27:31,683
Really, moderation is came in, you know,
965
00:27:32,117 --> 00:27:34,853
and I know when you're when you're
966
00:27:35,253 --> 00:27:36,254
when you're young kid,
967
00:27:36,254 --> 00:27:38,023
you're influenced by a man,
968
00:27:38,023 --> 00:27:38,223
you know,
969
00:27:38,223 --> 00:27:39,057
you want to get big
970
00:27:39,057 --> 00:27:39,891
and all that kind of stuff.
971
00:27:39,891 --> 00:27:42,360
But as you get older,
972
00:27:42,360 --> 00:27:43,828
what the hell does it matter anyhow?
973
00:27:43,828 --> 00:27:44,462
Now? So
974
00:27:47,499 --> 00:27:48,333
the hell's it matter
975
00:27:48,333 --> 00:27:49,501
who's going to throw the towel in
976
00:27:49,501 --> 00:27:51,603
anyways? Yeah.
977
00:27:51,703 --> 00:27:54,239
So I feel like a kid at all, man.
978
00:27:54,239 --> 00:27:55,006
Tell an eight year
979
00:27:55,006 --> 00:27:56,941
old kid, where's a kid?
980
00:27:56,941 --> 00:27:58,043
And never going to work anyhow.
981
00:27:58,043 --> 00:27:59,344
Just forget it.
982
00:27:59,444 --> 00:28:00,445
You feel. Old?
983
00:28:00,445 --> 00:28:02,313
I don't feel. Old. Do you feel old?
984
00:28:02,313 --> 00:28:04,182
No, I don't feel old.
985
00:28:04,182 --> 00:28:05,650
I don't feel old at all.
986
00:28:05,650 --> 00:28:07,185
I mean. No, no.
987
00:28:07,185 --> 00:28:09,454
I remember guys on my dad's crew
988
00:28:09,454 --> 00:28:10,989
who were 60
989
00:28:10,989 --> 00:28:11,589
and I was like,
990
00:28:11,589 --> 00:28:12,090
My God,
991
00:28:12,090 --> 00:28:14,592
that is the oldest man in the world
992
00:28:14,592 --> 00:28:16,695
right there. Look at that guy. You know.
993
00:28:17,429 --> 00:28:19,698
I don't feel that way at all.
994
00:28:19,698 --> 00:28:20,598
No, I feel old
995
00:28:20,598 --> 00:28:21,599
whenever the people I work with
996
00:28:21,599 --> 00:28:22,500
tell me that I'm old.
997
00:28:22,500 --> 00:28:24,903
That's the only time that I feel old.
998
00:28:24,903 --> 00:28:27,338
But I'll tell you, you want to feel old.
999
00:28:28,873 --> 00:28:29,808
You know.
1000
00:28:29,808 --> 00:28:31,943
A lot of the guys who were in training,
1001
00:28:32,610 --> 00:28:33,878
you know, a lot of the guys
1002
00:28:33,878 --> 00:28:34,579
that I work with,
1003
00:28:34,579 --> 00:28:36,715
I could be their dad, actually.
1004
00:28:37,982 --> 00:28:39,918
They're the same age as my kids.
1005
00:28:39,918 --> 00:28:40,652
Yeah.
1006
00:28:40,785 --> 00:28:42,020
Jordan Anderson
1007
00:28:42,020 --> 00:28:43,955
is the same age as my son.
1008
00:28:43,955 --> 00:28:44,689
Wow.
1009
00:28:44,689 --> 00:28:46,024
Actually, he's a year
1010
00:28:46,024 --> 00:28:48,493
younger than my kid. Hmm.
1011
00:28:48,493 --> 00:28:49,160
Okay.
1012
00:28:49,861 --> 00:28:52,130
So, yeah, I'm.
1013
00:28:52,230 --> 00:28:53,498
I'm used to that now.
1014
00:28:53,498 --> 00:28:55,600
I don't that doesn't bother me right now.
1015
00:28:55,633 --> 00:28:56,735
You know, I'll show you
1016
00:28:56,735 --> 00:28:57,802
young bucks something.
1017
00:28:57,802 --> 00:28:58,837
But we hired the new kid.
1018
00:28:58,837 --> 00:28:59,771
Pedro.
1019
00:28:59,771 --> 00:29:02,340
Mm hmm. Of Pedro. 18.
1020
00:29:03,041 --> 00:29:04,909
Wow. Be a. Grandkid.
1021
00:29:04,909 --> 00:29:06,478
Yeah.
1022
00:29:06,478 --> 00:29:08,646
Now we're getting there, right?
1023
00:29:08,646 --> 00:29:10,982
I picked them up in Nashville.
1024
00:29:10,982 --> 00:29:12,150
We stopped to get some supper.
1025
00:29:12,150 --> 00:29:13,084
It was kind of late.
1026
00:29:13,084 --> 00:29:14,619
We hadn't eaten, you know?
1027
00:29:14,619 --> 00:29:15,453
So we're getting to know each
1028
00:29:15,453 --> 00:29:16,554
other and everything. And
1029
00:29:17,989 --> 00:29:19,791
he asked me how old I was.
1030
00:29:19,791 --> 00:29:22,060
Oh, yeah.
1031
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:23,561
First day.
1032
00:29:23,561 --> 00:29:25,697
Yeah, first. First day on the job.
1033
00:29:25,697 --> 00:29:26,498
First day I met him.
1034
00:29:26,498 --> 00:29:26,731
Right.
1035
00:29:26,731 --> 00:29:27,932
Wasn't his first day on the job
1036
00:29:27,932 --> 00:29:29,667
the first time I had work with him.
1037
00:29:29,667 --> 00:29:31,202
Out of the mouths of babes.
1038
00:29:31,202 --> 00:29:32,771
Yeah, yeah.
1039
00:29:32,771 --> 00:29:35,440
And he goes, wow.
1040
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,075
Oh, man.
1041
00:29:37,075 --> 00:29:38,510
He goes, Well, wait a minute.
1042
00:29:38,510 --> 00:29:39,511
He followed it up with you.
1043
00:29:39,511 --> 00:29:41,079
Don't look that old. And like, wow.
1044
00:29:41,079 --> 00:29:42,580
Thanks. Yeah, there you go.
1045
00:29:42,580 --> 00:29:44,082
That's good. Yeah. Yeah.
1046
00:29:44,082 --> 00:29:46,751
But then he turns right around
1047
00:29:46,751 --> 00:29:48,853
after he goes, You don't look that old
1048
00:29:48,853 --> 00:29:49,821
in a couple minutes.
1049
00:29:49,821 --> 00:29:51,089
You know, it takes a couple of bites
1050
00:29:51,089 --> 00:29:52,023
and he's like, Yeah,
1051
00:29:52,023 --> 00:29:53,258
you could be my grandfather.
1052
00:29:53,258 --> 00:29:53,792
He goes,
1053
00:29:54,159 --> 00:29:55,827
I think you're older than my grandfather.
1054
00:29:55,827 --> 00:29:56,928
I'm like, Oh, thank me.
1055
00:29:56,928 --> 00:29:58,296
Thank you very. Yeah.
1056
00:29:58,296 --> 00:30:00,331
It's the hits just keep coming.
1057
00:30:00,331 --> 00:30:03,168
Yeah.
1058
00:30:03,168 --> 00:30:04,068
Well, I'll tell you one
1059
00:30:04,068 --> 00:30:04,669
good thing that does
1060
00:30:04,669 --> 00:30:05,303
come out of it, though,
1061
00:30:05,303 --> 00:30:06,471
when I'm with the guys
1062
00:30:06,471 --> 00:30:07,539
and we're doing training or whatever
1063
00:30:07,539 --> 00:30:08,606
and we have to carry adhesive
1064
00:30:08,606 --> 00:30:09,274
every time I pick up
1065
00:30:09,274 --> 00:30:10,041
bellies, if somebody
1066
00:30:10,041 --> 00:30:11,075
goes, No, no, no, you don't,
1067
00:30:11,075 --> 00:30:13,111
I'll get that, you know, oh,
1068
00:30:14,112 --> 00:30:14,846
I used to resent
1069
00:30:14,846 --> 00:30:16,514
it, but now I'm okay with it.
1070
00:30:16,514 --> 00:30:17,816
Now you don't think of that plywood
1071
00:30:17,816 --> 00:30:19,350
when we got it the way that.
1072
00:30:19,350 --> 00:30:20,552
If I'm picking a machine
1073
00:30:20,552 --> 00:30:21,219
out for something
1074
00:30:21,219 --> 00:30:22,420
and put it on a pound or whatever.
1075
00:30:22,420 --> 00:30:23,955
Oh, my God. Yeah. They all run over like.
1076
00:30:23,955 --> 00:30:25,723
No, no, no, no, no.
1077
00:30:25,723 --> 00:30:26,090
Yeah.
1078
00:30:26,090 --> 00:30:28,593
No, don't do that. Mm.
1079
00:30:28,593 --> 00:30:29,694
Oh I had a good one.
1080
00:30:29,694 --> 00:30:31,396
I fell the other day.
1081
00:30:31,396 --> 00:30:32,063
Mm.
1082
00:30:32,197 --> 00:30:34,365
I fell off and Toronto had a fall.
1083
00:30:34,365 --> 00:30:35,133
There's nothing ugly
1084
00:30:35,133 --> 00:30:36,534
than watching old man fall is.
1085
00:30:36,534 --> 00:30:40,138
Ah well this is the second fall.
1086
00:30:40,138 --> 00:30:42,040
This year. Mm.
1087
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,242
No, no, I'm thinking wait a minute.
1088
00:30:44,242 --> 00:30:46,778
What's going on Bolt. Same thing.
1089
00:30:46,778 --> 00:30:47,745
Got my foot.
1090
00:30:47,745 --> 00:30:48,513
I was showing a kid
1091
00:30:48,513 --> 00:30:51,182
how to do something on the machine.
1092
00:30:51,182 --> 00:30:52,817
Got my foot wrapped in the cord,
1093
00:30:54,485 --> 00:30:55,620
started to walk away.
1094
00:30:55,620 --> 00:30:59,190
Bow down goes. Frazier
1095
00:30:59,190 --> 00:31:00,525
Wow.
1096
00:31:00,525 --> 00:31:03,261
When I fell,
1097
00:31:03,261 --> 00:31:05,530
I still remember my old judo tricks.
1098
00:31:05,897 --> 00:31:06,865
Mm.
1099
00:31:07,131 --> 00:31:09,467
You roll on that shoulder, you roll right
1100
00:31:09,467 --> 00:31:10,235
over, baby.
1101
00:31:10,235 --> 00:31:13,071
So, you know, big mama goes.
1102
00:31:13,071 --> 00:31:14,973
FRAZIER But I hit and roll right
1103
00:31:14,973 --> 00:31:16,374
over, boom.
1104
00:31:16,374 --> 00:31:18,643
Right back to judo.
1105
00:31:18,643 --> 00:31:20,311
One on one man.
1106
00:31:20,311 --> 00:31:21,112
Here's what I know is
1107
00:31:21,112 --> 00:31:22,347
when I when I fall now,
1108
00:31:22,347 --> 00:31:23,414
like when you're young
1109
00:31:23,414 --> 00:31:24,549
and you fall, you realize,
1110
00:31:24,549 --> 00:31:25,717
okay, I'm going too far now you just go,
1111
00:31:25,717 --> 00:31:26,050
all right, well,
1112
00:31:26,050 --> 00:31:27,752
I'll just get this over the fall,
1113
00:31:27,752 --> 00:31:28,519
but as you get older,
1114
00:31:28,519 --> 00:31:29,220
you don't want to fall.
1115
00:31:29,220 --> 00:31:30,355
So you fall ugly.
1116
00:31:30,355 --> 00:31:31,856
Now, like, I'll take out
1117
00:31:31,856 --> 00:31:33,358
I'll take out the cabinets.
1118
00:31:33,358 --> 00:31:34,125
I'll keep stuff
1119
00:31:34,125 --> 00:31:35,026
on the other side of the room
1120
00:31:35,026 --> 00:31:36,361
and knock out that thing
1121
00:31:36,361 --> 00:31:37,996
because I just don't want to fall.
1122
00:31:37,996 --> 00:31:39,364
And then I'm going to take out this guy
1123
00:31:39,364 --> 00:31:40,231
and I'm going to split.
1124
00:31:40,231 --> 00:31:41,432
I'm going to splay myself
1125
00:31:41,432 --> 00:31:42,033
out on the floor.
1126
00:31:42,033 --> 00:31:44,102
Like like I even saw a shot.
1127
00:31:44,102 --> 00:31:45,069
I'm grabbing.
1128
00:31:45,069 --> 00:31:46,271
I'm grabbing for stuff.
1129
00:31:46,271 --> 00:31:47,438
Yeah, right. Yeah.
1130
00:31:47,438 --> 00:31:48,640
I'll take a kid down with.
1131
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,942
My balls now are very slow.
1132
00:31:51,209 --> 00:31:51,910
Yes, they're.
1133
00:31:51,910 --> 00:31:53,878
Wild. Yes, that's what I'm saying.
1134
00:31:53,878 --> 00:31:55,413
Yes. Yeah, yeah.
1135
00:31:55,413 --> 00:31:56,881
Actually, I have time to think.
1136
00:31:56,881 --> 00:31:57,315
All right.
1137
00:31:57,315 --> 00:31:59,484
You know, go back to eighth grade judo.
1138
00:31:59,484 --> 00:32:00,818
Yeah, yeah.
1139
00:32:00,818 --> 00:32:04,322
That's shoulder roll.
1140
00:32:04,322 --> 00:32:06,157
You're exactly right.
1141
00:32:06,157 --> 00:32:08,927
The falls are slower now you're caught.
1142
00:32:09,260 --> 00:32:10,495
The funny part is watching
1143
00:32:10,495 --> 00:32:12,397
people try not to laugh. Right.
1144
00:32:12,397 --> 00:32:14,365
And they're like, Are you okay?
1145
00:32:14,365 --> 00:32:15,700
That's. You're crying?
1146
00:32:15,700 --> 00:32:18,036
Yeah. Oh, Fredo didn't hold back, though.
1147
00:32:18,069 --> 00:32:19,037
He was.
1148
00:32:19,037 --> 00:32:19,604
He just said
1149
00:32:19,604 --> 00:32:20,505
it was the funniest thing
1150
00:32:20,505 --> 00:32:22,106
that he'd ever seen in his life.
1151
00:32:22,106 --> 00:32:23,541
You find out who your real friends
1152
00:32:23,541 --> 00:32:24,342
are when you fall.
1153
00:32:25,543 --> 00:32:26,444
You know
1154
00:32:28,112 --> 00:32:31,716
that's the damn truth.
1155
00:32:31,716 --> 00:32:31,916
Well,
1156
00:32:31,916 --> 00:32:33,618
I yell at their little Justin there.
1157
00:32:33,618 --> 00:32:35,820
Help me up for guts. Yeah, yeah.
1158
00:32:36,454 --> 00:32:36,921
All right.
1159
00:32:36,921 --> 00:32:39,290
Well, that's a good place to leave it.
1160
00:32:39,290 --> 00:32:41,359
I will tell you this.
1161
00:32:41,359 --> 00:32:42,860
I fell in Jersey
1162
00:32:42,860 --> 00:32:44,495
and bang my knee up a little bit.
1163
00:32:44,495 --> 00:32:46,130
No big deal.
1164
00:32:46,164 --> 00:32:49,067
The the fall, everything still hurts.
1165
00:32:49,067 --> 00:32:51,302
And then it was like I fell on Thursday.
1166
00:32:52,070 --> 00:32:54,939
Well, yeah, my my elbow.
1167
00:32:55,139 --> 00:32:57,275
My knee, my shoulder
1168
00:32:57,275 --> 00:32:58,843
wall leans like, you know,
1169
00:32:58,843 --> 00:32:59,777
because one day she saw me,
1170
00:32:59,777 --> 00:33:00,578
like, doing this.
1171
00:33:00,578 --> 00:33:00,979
I got. Yeah.
1172
00:33:00,979 --> 00:33:01,412
My shoulder
1173
00:33:01,412 --> 00:33:03,915
still she goes, take some Tylenol,
1174
00:33:03,915 --> 00:33:05,116
why don't you take some towel?
1175
00:33:05,116 --> 00:33:06,718
And I said, Because I'm a tough guy.
1176
00:33:06,718 --> 00:33:07,952
I'm not going to take a Tylenol
1177
00:33:07,952 --> 00:33:09,053
for a fall.
1178
00:33:09,053 --> 00:33:10,154
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1179
00:33:10,154 --> 00:33:11,956
Everybody needs to endure
1180
00:33:11,956 --> 00:33:13,858
a little bit of pain in their life.
1181
00:33:13,858 --> 00:33:16,094
I can't just keep popping pills. Sure.
1182
00:33:16,594 --> 00:33:17,662
For everything.
1183
00:33:17,662 --> 00:33:18,529
Or else you'd be fallen
1184
00:33:18,529 --> 00:33:19,697
all the time, right?
1185
00:33:20,698 --> 00:33:21,232
It was.
1186
00:33:21,232 --> 00:33:22,834
It was just a little fall.
1187
00:33:22,834 --> 00:33:23,868
I thought you was going to say
1188
00:33:23,868 --> 00:33:25,003
you start a fall in New Jersey,
1189
00:33:25,003 --> 00:33:26,204
and yet by the time you fell, well,
1190
00:33:26,204 --> 00:33:27,772
you're actually in New York.
1191
00:33:27,772 --> 00:33:29,374
So it feels
1192
00:33:30,842 --> 00:33:31,576
all right.
1193
00:33:31,642 --> 00:33:33,578
Grabbing on to the imaginary
1194
00:33:33,578 --> 00:33:34,779
handicap rail.
1195
00:33:34,779 --> 00:33:36,180
And don't be if you're next to me
1196
00:33:36,180 --> 00:33:37,815
too, I'll pull you down with me
1197
00:33:37,815 --> 00:33:40,051
as I'm helping.
1198
00:33:40,051 --> 00:33:40,518
Even here,
1199
00:33:40,518 --> 00:33:42,787
another old guy or a young kid
1200
00:33:42,787 --> 00:33:43,788
like a seven year old kid.
1201
00:33:43,788 --> 00:33:45,556
I'll drag you down with me if I go.
1202
00:33:45,556 --> 00:33:46,591
Oh, I know.
1203
00:33:46,591 --> 00:33:48,259
If you and I ever go fishing
1204
00:33:48,259 --> 00:33:50,294
and you go over to the side in the boat,
1205
00:33:50,294 --> 00:33:51,929
I'm not going to go for it because.
1206
00:33:51,929 --> 00:33:53,564
Yeah, no, please don't swim.
1207
00:33:53,564 --> 00:33:54,932
Now that I know that you're
1208
00:33:54,932 --> 00:33:56,401
just going to drag me under.
1209
00:33:56,401 --> 00:33:57,568
Yeah, don't listen to anything I say,
1210
00:33:57,568 --> 00:33:58,703
because I will 100%
1211
00:33:58,703 --> 00:34:00,104
take you down with me.
1212
00:34:00,104 --> 00:34:01,873
Yeah. Yeah, the panic. Is that real?
1213
00:34:03,574 --> 00:34:03,941
All right.
1214
00:34:03,941 --> 00:34:05,043
There's been another episode
1215
00:34:05,043 --> 00:34:06,844
of On the Floor with Wayne and Roberts.
1216
00:34:06,844 --> 00:34:16,020
Please stay tuned for another episode.
