00:00:10,744 --> 00:00:12,112
Hello, and welcome to another episode
2
00:00:12,112 --> 00:00:13,480

00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,483
I'm Wayne Highlander with Bona adhesives.

Hey, Rob, how are we doing?

00:00:23,523 --> 00:00:24,657
Yeah.

00:00:24,657 --> 00:00:26,626
I'm doing fantastic.
9
00:00:26,626 --> 00:00:28,628
We we, you know,
10
00:00:28,628 --> 00:00:30,530
it didn't work out during Thanksgiving.
11
00:00:30,530 --> 00:00:31,364
We were both on the road.
12
00:00:31,364 --> 00:00:32,298
We didn't get to talk much
13
00:00:32,298 --> 00:00:33,933
about Thanksgiving.
14
00:00:33,933 --> 00:00:35,368
We we often do.
15
00:00:35,368 --> 00:00:37,170
And, now Christmas is coming up.
16
00:00:37,170 --> 00:00:38,171
Or the holiday seasons,
17
00:00:38,171 --> 00:00:38,772
however, you,
18
00:00:38,772 --> 00:00:42,909
however you, celebrate them.
19
00:00:43,710 --> 00:00:45,712
And, you know, Robin,
20
00:00:45,712 --> 00:00:47,180
I wanted to say, you know, Merry
21
00:00:47,180 --> 00:00:49,115
Christmas, everybody, and happy holidays
22
00:00:49,115 --> 00:00:51,451
and what have you.
23
00:00:51,451 --> 00:00:53,319
But Rob and I are always the
24
00:00:53,319 --> 00:00:54,988
ones on on here.
25
00:00:54,988 --> 00:00:57,490
And the ones that you maybe see or hear.
26
00:00:57,490 --> 00:01:00,026
And there are so many people
27
00:01:00,026 --> 00:01:02,028
that make this thing work.
28
00:01:02,996 --> 00:01:05,865
So many people behind the scenes that,
29
00:01:05,865 --> 00:01:08,968
I wish my wish that, you know,
30
00:01:08,968 --> 00:01:11,204
if I had a wish, I almost wish
31
00:01:11,204 --> 00:01:12,906
everybody could see
32
00:01:12,906 --> 00:01:13,907
the people that are in
33
00:01:13,907 --> 00:01:15,842
all the departments at Mona
34
00:01:15,842 --> 00:01:17,343
and go to a sales meeting
35
00:01:17,343 --> 00:01:18,711
and see how much
36
00:01:18,711 --> 00:01:21,114
they really care about what they do.
37
00:01:21,114 --> 00:01:21,481
I mean,
38
00:01:21,481 --> 00:01:22,949
I talk about the marketing department.
39
00:01:22,949 --> 00:01:23,917
Chris is on here
40
00:01:23,917 --> 00:01:25,318
that that that works with us.
41
00:01:25,318 --> 00:01:27,253
And he does so many things at Mona,
42
00:01:27,253 --> 00:01:28,288
with the videos
43
00:01:28,288 --> 00:01:29,489
and what have you and Eileen.
44
00:01:29,489 --> 00:01:31,424
And there's just so many people.
45
00:01:31,424 --> 00:01:34,260
And, so when we say Merry Christmas
46
00:01:34,260 --> 00:01:35,728
or Happy Holidays,
47
00:01:35,728 --> 00:01:38,331
is from the entire Bonia family
48
00:01:38,331 --> 00:01:39,332
and their families
49
00:01:39,332 --> 00:01:40,600
that put so much into this
50
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,602
that do this every day. So.
51
00:01:43,536 --> 00:01:44,370
You know, it's funny
52
00:01:44,370 --> 00:01:46,739
you said that because, you know,
53
00:01:46,739 --> 00:01:48,675
we're just started doing our
54
00:01:48,675 --> 00:01:50,410
holiday schools,
55
00:01:50,410 --> 00:01:52,645
and this week I was in Charlotte
56
00:01:52,645 --> 00:01:53,780
and Charlotte
57
00:01:53,780 --> 00:01:55,782
was the kickoff for the first holiday
58
00:01:55,782 --> 00:01:57,383
school of the year.
59
00:01:57,383 --> 00:01:59,586
And,
60
00:01:59,586 --> 00:02:01,254
so here are the departments
61
00:02:01,254 --> 00:02:02,555
that were represented
62
00:02:02,555 --> 00:02:04,190
at that holiday class.
63
00:02:04,190 --> 00:02:06,726
So you had me from tech and training.
64
00:02:06,726 --> 00:02:09,729
You had Larry, who's territory manager.
65
00:02:10,363 --> 00:02:12,165
You had Mark Raymond,
66
00:02:12,165 --> 00:02:14,167
who's an adhesives manager.
67
00:02:14,167 --> 00:02:17,170
You had Robbie, Robbie Smith
68
00:02:17,403 --> 00:02:19,839
from Product Management.
69
00:02:19,839 --> 00:02:20,673
Oh, my God,
70
00:02:20,673 --> 00:02:21,608
I cannot believe
71
00:02:21,608 --> 00:02:24,077
I can't remember this woman's name.
72
00:02:24,077 --> 00:02:25,712
So, you know, we could
73
00:02:25,712 --> 00:02:27,413
did the kickoff for the,
74
00:02:27,413 --> 00:02:28,414
holiday schools in.
75
00:02:28,414 --> 00:02:30,884
The first one was in Charlotte,
76
00:02:30,884 --> 00:02:32,152
and, you know, you're talking
77
00:02:32,152 --> 00:02:35,155
about all the people behind the scenes,
78
00:02:35,455 --> 00:02:37,557
at the school.
79
00:02:37,557 --> 00:02:37,957
So we had territory managers,
80
00:02:37,957 --> 00:02:40,960
Well.
81
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:41,694
we had adhesive managers,
82
00:02:41,694 --> 00:02:43,163
we had tech and training there.
83
00:02:43,163 --> 00:02:44,964
That's three departments.
84
00:02:44,964 --> 00:02:46,299
We had product management
85
00:02:46,299 --> 00:02:48,001
people there, and
86
00:02:48,001 --> 00:02:49,636
we had a lab person there.
87
00:02:50,537 --> 00:02:51,538
Was there any ladies?
88
00:02:51,538 --> 00:02:54,541
Ladies from the band department there?
89
00:02:55,575 --> 00:02:56,543
Any ladies from the PR?
90
00:02:56,543 --> 00:02:57,644
For from the from the lab
91
00:02:57,644 --> 00:03:00,647
department or anything.
92
00:03:00,647 --> 00:03:03,616
Okay, okay.
93
00:03:03,616 --> 00:03:03,783
and we had a person from the lab, I,
94
00:03:03,783 --> 00:03:06,052
Okay.
95
00:03:06,052 --> 00:03:07,554
Okay. Okay.
96
00:03:07,554 --> 00:03:09,422
With you.
97
00:03:09,422 --> 00:03:10,123
Okay.
98
00:03:10,123 --> 00:03:13,126
Well.
99
00:03:13,126 --> 00:03:15,094
for the students to see of the, you know,
100
00:03:15,261 --> 00:03:18,097
how many moving parts
101
00:03:18,097 --> 00:03:21,334
there is to to what's going on at Vona,
102
00:03:21,467 --> 00:03:21,834
you know,
103
00:03:21,834 --> 00:03:23,670
because a lot of times, you know,
104
00:03:23,670 --> 00:03:25,371
a contractor just walked
105
00:03:25,371 --> 00:03:26,306
into a distributor
106
00:03:26,306 --> 00:03:28,007
and he grabs a jug off of the shelf
107
00:03:28,007 --> 00:03:30,977
and let's say that's bona, you know,
108
00:03:31,110 --> 00:03:32,278
you really don't know
109
00:03:32,278 --> 00:03:34,180
what went into that jug.
110
00:03:34,180 --> 00:03:34,614
And, you know,
111
00:03:34,614 --> 00:03:37,617
Yeah.
112
00:03:37,617 --> 00:03:37,750
once we started talking about actually,
113
00:03:37,750 --> 00:03:40,420
when we got into the chroma discussion
114
00:03:40,420 --> 00:03:41,087
and we were,
115
00:03:41,087 --> 00:03:42,355
you know, teaching the chrome.
116
00:03:42,355 --> 00:03:43,790
But first, you know, we start off
117
00:03:43,790 --> 00:03:45,825
with a little theory behind the chroma,
118
00:03:45,825 --> 00:03:48,027
and then we go do the hands on.
119
00:03:48,027 --> 00:03:50,863
But there was a lot of people involved
120
00:03:50,863 --> 00:03:52,065
and you know,
121
00:03:52,065 --> 00:03:54,067
just getting that stuff in the jug,
122
00:03:54,067 --> 00:03:55,134
you know,
123
00:03:55,134 --> 00:03:56,336
and it was great
124
00:03:56,336 --> 00:03:57,437
that, you know, because not
125
00:03:57,437 --> 00:03:58,871
I don't really get that
126
00:03:58,871 --> 00:04:00,039
at a lot of the trainings.
127
00:04:00,039 --> 00:04:00,240
You know,
128
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,408
you don't get that many people
129
00:04:02,408 --> 00:04:03,776
from different departments.
130
00:04:04,877 --> 00:04:06,646
And
131
00:04:06,646 --> 00:04:09,482
the product management guy, probably
132
00:04:09,482 --> 00:04:11,718
he was out talking about,
133
00:04:11,718 --> 00:04:13,553
you know, what they did and everything.
134
00:04:13,553 --> 00:04:15,722
And then the person from the lab,
135
00:04:15,722 --> 00:04:16,923
she was talking about
136
00:04:16,923 --> 00:04:17,957
everything that they did.
137
00:04:17,957 --> 00:04:18,891
And, you know,
138
00:04:18,891 --> 00:04:19,959
I was like,
139
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:20,560
Holy crap,
140
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,429
I didn't know all this was going on.
141
00:04:23,429 --> 00:04:24,264
You know,
142
00:04:24,264 --> 00:04:27,267
and how they have to work together,
143
00:04:27,934 --> 00:04:28,701
you know, by the time
144
00:04:28,701 --> 00:04:29,235
they get it out
145
00:04:29,235 --> 00:04:30,703
to guys like you and I is like,
146
00:04:30,703 --> 00:04:32,739
okay, here you go.
147
00:04:32,739 --> 00:04:32,805
And now,
148
00:04:32,805 --> 00:04:35,775
Yeah.
149
00:04:35,775 --> 00:04:36,376
looking like rockstars,
150
00:04:36,376 --> 00:04:36,876
Yeah.
151
00:04:36,876 --> 00:04:39,879
Yeah.
152
00:04:39,879 --> 00:04:42,348
as soon as you said about the people
153
00:04:42,348 --> 00:04:45,051
behind the scenes with this,
154
00:04:45,051 --> 00:04:45,918
you know, I mean,
155
00:04:45,918 --> 00:04:47,587
you know, look, look at the show,
156
00:04:47,587 --> 00:04:47,854
even just even just with our show,
157
00:04:47,854 --> 00:04:50,290
Yeah.
158
00:04:50,290 --> 00:04:53,293
Yeah.
159
00:04:53,293 --> 00:04:53,393
you and I couldn't do this,
160
00:04:53,593 --> 00:04:53,893
No.
161
00:04:53,893 --> 00:04:56,896
You're kidding me.
162
00:04:56,896 --> 00:04:57,463
wouldn't even be able
163
00:04:57,463 --> 00:04:58,731
to find the microphone.
164
00:04:58,731 --> 00:04:59,332
No.
165
00:04:59,332 --> 00:05:02,335
And we even look them up and everything.
166
00:05:02,335 --> 00:05:04,037
We were lost.
167
00:05:04,037 --> 00:05:07,006
Yeah.
168
00:05:07,006 --> 00:05:07,040
Yeah. Right.
169
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:07,307
You imagine that if we didn't have
170
00:05:07,307 --> 00:05:10,276
So.
171
00:05:10,276 --> 00:05:10,710
the people behind it in the show, right?
172
00:05:10,710 --> 00:05:12,312
Now the impossible.
173
00:05:12,312 --> 00:05:15,315
We're very, very fortunate.
174
00:05:15,315 --> 00:05:16,482
Things not even close.
175
00:05:16,616 --> 00:05:18,284
Yeah.
176
00:05:18,284 --> 00:05:19,619
And,
177
00:05:19,619 --> 00:05:19,886
you know,
178
00:05:19,886 --> 00:05:21,521
I extend this to our distributor partners
179
00:05:21,521 --> 00:05:23,089
as well, that,
180
00:05:23,089 --> 00:05:24,424
the guys behind the counter
181
00:05:24,424 --> 00:05:25,658
and everything that, that
182
00:05:25,658 --> 00:05:26,726
that, sell the products
183
00:05:26,726 --> 00:05:29,729
when we're not there, and, and,
184
00:05:29,762 --> 00:05:30,163
you know,
185
00:05:30,163 --> 00:05:31,397
even if you, if you look at our,
186
00:05:31,397 --> 00:05:33,032
our plant where the guys are lonely,
187
00:05:33,032 --> 00:05:34,233
the adhesive pills on the,
188
00:05:34,233 --> 00:05:36,369
on the on, on the pallets
189
00:05:36,369 --> 00:05:37,537
and all that kind of stuff. And.
190
00:05:38,805 --> 00:05:40,306
The.
191
00:05:40,306 --> 00:05:41,908
There's a lot there's so many people
192
00:05:41,908 --> 00:05:43,643
that are involved in this and,
193
00:05:43,643 --> 00:05:44,944
and, again, I,
194
00:05:44,944 --> 00:05:46,479
I know how much they care
195
00:05:46,479 --> 00:05:47,880
and how much they get excited about it
196
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,115
because we get a chance
197
00:05:49,115 --> 00:05:49,882
to come back and see him
198
00:05:49,882 --> 00:05:51,351
in meetings every year.
199
00:05:51,351 --> 00:05:54,253
But, it means it means a lot to them.
200
00:05:54,253 --> 00:05:55,722
And, we just wanted from.
201
00:05:55,722 --> 00:05:58,091
So from the whole Bono family,
202
00:05:58,091 --> 00:05:59,158
we just want to say
203
00:05:59,158 --> 00:06:00,927
happy holidays, everybody.
204
00:06:00,927 --> 00:06:02,295
And,
205
00:06:02,295 --> 00:06:02,829
you know,
206
00:06:02,829 --> 00:06:03,396
there's it's
207
00:06:03,396 --> 00:06:04,797
one of the hardest jobs in the world,
208
00:06:04,797 --> 00:06:06,466
doing floors, man.
209
00:06:06,466 --> 00:06:08,434
It's a it's a hard job.
210
00:06:08,434 --> 00:06:09,001
And,
211
00:06:09,001 --> 00:06:09,635
we've been doing this
212
00:06:09,635 --> 00:06:10,436
for seven years now.
213
00:06:10,436 --> 00:06:13,439
Rob.
214
00:06:13,439 --> 00:06:13,906
Yeah, yeah.
215
00:06:13,906 --> 00:06:15,842
Seven years we've been doing this.
216
00:06:15,842 --> 00:06:16,876
So if you listen,
217
00:06:16,876 --> 00:06:19,846
if you listen.
218
00:06:19,846 --> 00:06:20,613
maybe we can do ten episodes.
219
00:06:20,613 --> 00:06:21,280
Yeah.
220
00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:24,283
Yeah, especially in the first.
221
00:06:24,283 --> 00:06:24,417
Yeah. Don't listen to those first ten.
222
00:06:24,417 --> 00:06:25,318
Yeah, yeah,
223
00:06:25,318 --> 00:06:26,352
Yeah. Don't listen to those first ten.
224
00:06:26,352 --> 00:06:27,587
yeah.
225
00:06:27,587 --> 00:06:28,454
So.
226
00:06:28,454 --> 00:06:29,655
So, if you've been
227
00:06:29,655 --> 00:06:31,891
listening to us for those seven years,
228
00:06:31,891 --> 00:06:33,960
we're even off and on here and there.
229
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,228
I mean, that's seven more years
230
00:06:35,228 --> 00:06:37,230
that you've been in this industry.
231
00:06:37,230 --> 00:06:40,299
And again, it's a what do you see?
232
00:06:40,299 --> 00:06:42,201
The average age is 56 years old or so.
233
00:06:42,201 --> 00:06:43,202
That's, that's that's doing
234
00:06:43,202 --> 00:06:44,537
the work right now
235
00:06:44,537 --> 00:06:46,906
is a very difficult job. It's a hard job.
236
00:06:46,906 --> 00:06:48,708
It's a labor intensive job.
237
00:06:48,708 --> 00:06:50,476
It's a stressful job.
238
00:06:50,476 --> 00:06:53,379
And, so the holidays are important.
239
00:06:53,379 --> 00:06:54,747
And I hope everybody, you know, I,
240
00:06:54,747 --> 00:06:55,915
I worked a lot of holidays.
241
00:06:55,915 --> 00:06:57,150
I'm, you know,
242
00:06:57,150 --> 00:06:58,684
I'm, I'm almost embarrassed
243
00:06:58,684 --> 00:06:58,918
to say
244
00:06:58,918 --> 00:07:00,920
how many, holidays and
245
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,156
and weekends I've worked in my life
246
00:07:03,156 --> 00:07:04,857
and, Thanksgivings.
247
00:07:04,857 --> 00:07:05,992
I've worked Thanksgivings.
248
00:07:05,992 --> 00:07:08,327
I've worked, on Christmas coding,
249
00:07:08,327 --> 00:07:08,861
which we didn't
250
00:07:08,861 --> 00:07:09,796
we didn't
251
00:07:09,796 --> 00:07:10,997
consider that a work day
252
00:07:10,997 --> 00:07:13,499
because we're just coding, you know?
253
00:07:13,499 --> 00:07:16,335
But but, and you know how it goes.
254
00:07:16,335 --> 00:07:16,736
So,
255
00:07:16,736 --> 00:07:19,705
No, I, I I know exactly how it goes.
256
00:07:19,705 --> 00:07:21,374
Especially when I was in sport.
257
00:07:21,374 --> 00:07:24,377
You know, there was one year,
258
00:07:25,278 --> 00:07:26,412
you know, all of our sport
259
00:07:26,412 --> 00:07:27,680
guys out there, all the guys
260
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,515
listening in on sport,
261
00:07:29,515 --> 00:07:31,417
holidays or not really.
262
00:07:31,417 --> 00:07:32,385
Holidays for us,
263
00:07:33,886 --> 00:07:34,854
holidays are when
264
00:07:34,854 --> 00:07:37,089
the schools are closing. Oh, okay. Good.
265
00:07:37,089 --> 00:07:38,191
I got to get in there.
266
00:07:38,191 --> 00:07:39,258
You know,
267
00:07:39,258 --> 00:07:41,627
we've got so many schools,
268
00:07:41,627 --> 00:07:43,796
they're all closed for a week or two,
269
00:07:43,796 --> 00:07:45,631
and, man, you gotta
270
00:07:45,631 --> 00:07:47,767
you gotta turn and burn in those,
271
00:07:47,767 --> 00:07:49,268
so, you know, for our sport
272
00:07:49,268 --> 00:07:50,603
guys out there,
273
00:07:50,603 --> 00:07:52,305
I know what you're going through.
274
00:07:52,305 --> 00:07:54,207
And these holidays can be
275
00:07:54,207 --> 00:07:55,341
because you're also trying
276
00:07:55,341 --> 00:07:56,642
to celebrate the holidays.
277
00:07:56,642 --> 00:07:57,677
You want to be with your family.
278
00:07:57,677 --> 00:07:58,377
You want to do everything.
279
00:07:58,377 --> 00:08:00,179
Yeah, but
280
00:08:00,179 --> 00:08:01,314
it is that time of year
281
00:08:01,314 --> 00:08:02,048
where we're getting in
282
00:08:02,048 --> 00:08:03,316
all those sport coats
283
00:08:03,316 --> 00:08:04,350
around the Thanksgiving
284
00:08:04,350 --> 00:08:05,418
and the Christmas holiday.
285
00:08:05,418 --> 00:08:09,088
So there were out there, I was training
286
00:08:09,088 --> 00:08:12,091
a crew up in, Minneapolis
287
00:08:12,458 --> 00:08:15,194
a few years ago, and, and the guy's like,
288
00:08:15,194 --> 00:08:15,595
you know,
289
00:08:15,595 --> 00:08:19,165
is it possible that you could get here,
290
00:08:19,165 --> 00:08:20,900
on the day on the 26th,
291
00:08:20,900 --> 00:08:22,201
you know, the day after Christmas?
292
00:08:22,201 --> 00:08:23,669
And I'm like, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
293
00:08:23,669 --> 00:08:24,003
You know,
294
00:08:24,971 --> 00:08:26,205
that's a depressing day
295
00:08:26,205 --> 00:08:27,340
for me anyways, right?
296
00:08:27,340 --> 00:08:30,343
Yeah.
297
00:08:30,343 --> 00:08:31,878
So I thought, you know what?
298
00:08:31,878 --> 00:08:34,847
I bet nobody flies on Christmas.
299
00:08:35,281 --> 00:08:36,916
I'm going to fly out Christmas night.
300
00:08:36,916 --> 00:08:37,817
You know, everybody's
301
00:08:37,817 --> 00:08:39,585
kids are all worn out.
302
00:08:39,585 --> 00:08:41,387
And, you know what I mean?
303
00:08:41,387 --> 00:08:41,687
It's like,
304
00:08:41,687 --> 00:08:44,657
Yeah.
305
00:08:44,657 --> 00:08:45,358
you just.
306
00:08:45,358 --> 00:08:48,361
You're just punking out on the couch and
307
00:08:49,095 --> 00:08:50,429
taking a deep breath, right, exhaling.
308
00:08:50,429 --> 00:08:53,432
Yeah.
309
00:08:53,432 --> 00:08:53,666
So I thought, oh, hell, I'll,
310
00:08:53,666 --> 00:08:56,002
I'll fly out Christmas night.
311
00:08:56,002 --> 00:08:57,203
It'll be easy.
312
00:08:57,203 --> 00:09:00,206
There'll be nobody on the plane,
313
00:09:00,540 --> 00:09:01,607
Oh my gosh.
314
00:09:01,607 --> 00:09:03,075
That was one of the biggest mistakes.
315
00:09:03,075 --> 00:09:03,910
One of the biggest
316
00:09:03,910 --> 00:09:06,646
traveling mistakes I ever made.
317
00:09:06,646 --> 00:09:09,649
Wow.
318
00:09:09,649 --> 00:09:10,082
and, like, 4
319
00:09:10,082 --> 00:09:10,850
million people
320
00:09:10,850 --> 00:09:13,085
thought the same exact thing.
321
00:09:13,085 --> 00:09:15,488
I'm going to outsmart everybody and fly
322
00:09:15,488 --> 00:09:17,089
on Christmas night and.
323
00:09:18,457 --> 00:09:20,626
That,
324
00:09:20,626 --> 00:09:20,927
Wow.
325
00:09:20,927 --> 00:09:23,930
Wow.
326
00:09:23,930 --> 00:09:24,964
you know,
327
00:09:24,964 --> 00:09:27,967
Well.
328
00:09:27,967 --> 00:09:29,368
But then my sport guys out there,
329
00:09:29,368 --> 00:09:32,038
our sport guys,
330
00:09:32,038 --> 00:09:33,706
I know how tough this holiday is
331
00:09:33,706 --> 00:09:34,373
because you're trying
332
00:09:34,373 --> 00:09:35,608
to juggle the holidays.
333
00:09:35,608 --> 00:09:38,611
And that packed up schedule to.
334
00:09:39,278 --> 00:09:39,679
Well,
335
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:40,947
sometimes, even though you work,
336
00:09:40,947 --> 00:09:42,949
it almost feels like a holiday.
337
00:09:42,949 --> 00:09:45,318
Because nobody else is working,
338
00:09:45,318 --> 00:09:46,352
you know,
339
00:09:46,352 --> 00:09:47,787
on your on the job sites, there's
340
00:09:47,787 --> 00:09:49,755
nobody else there a lot of times.
341
00:09:49,755 --> 00:09:51,023
And so you don't have to deal
342
00:09:51,023 --> 00:09:52,091
with all the
343
00:09:52,091 --> 00:09:53,059
everybody else that you're,
344
00:09:53,059 --> 00:09:54,961
you know, have the, you know,
345
00:09:54,961 --> 00:09:56,963
run around and work around.
346
00:09:56,963 --> 00:09:57,730
So there's that.
347
00:09:57,730 --> 00:09:58,931
And also if you're coding,
348
00:09:58,931 --> 00:10:00,199
if it's just a coding day,
349
00:10:00,199 --> 00:10:00,466
you know,
350
00:10:00,466 --> 00:10:03,035
when I started in the business, my, my
351
00:10:03,035 --> 00:10:05,004
I worked with my Uncle Stan, obviously.
352
00:10:05,004 --> 00:10:06,572
And we would start the morning
353
00:10:06,572 --> 00:10:09,475
by going to a cafe and having breakfast.
354
00:10:09,475 --> 00:10:11,077
Now think about that.
355
00:10:11,077 --> 00:10:12,645
I mean,
356
00:10:12,645 --> 00:10:14,580
nowadays people don't have time for that.
357
00:10:14,580 --> 00:10:15,848
Like, I can't imagine, like,
358
00:10:15,848 --> 00:10:17,149
all right, guys, let's go down here.
359
00:10:17,149 --> 00:10:18,884
And and I'm talking about not McDonald's.
360
00:10:18,884 --> 00:10:20,052
I'm talking about a regular restaurant
361
00:10:20,052 --> 00:10:21,087
that you sat down.
362
00:10:21,087 --> 00:10:22,688
You'd have a cup of coffee,
363
00:10:22,688 --> 00:10:23,356
you know what I mean?
364
00:10:23,356 --> 00:10:25,791
And, you know, it was relaxing.
365
00:10:25,791 --> 00:10:26,092
No. No. Yeah.
366
00:10:26,092 --> 00:10:27,326
Absolutely.
367
00:10:27,326 --> 00:10:28,728
And, so
368
00:10:28,728 --> 00:10:30,796
obviously when we're doing flooring,
369
00:10:30,796 --> 00:10:31,998
we know no one has time for that.
370
00:10:31,998 --> 00:10:32,465
You're learning.
371
00:10:32,465 --> 00:10:33,733
You're, you know, you're learning.
372
00:10:33,733 --> 00:10:33,866
You know,
373
00:10:33,866 --> 00:10:34,967
I mean, you're burning money, man.
374
00:10:34,967 --> 00:10:35,901
These guys got to be humping
375
00:10:35,901 --> 00:10:37,336
you can't do that.
376
00:10:37,336 --> 00:10:39,705
But around the holidays even to do
377
00:10:39,705 --> 00:10:41,574
even to go out
378
00:10:41,574 --> 00:10:43,275
on that day for breakfast or something,
379
00:10:43,275 --> 00:10:44,710
or around that time with the guys
380
00:10:44,710 --> 00:10:47,480
and just go have a piece of pumpkin pie.
381
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:47,713
Good.
382
00:10:47,713 --> 00:10:48,614
Got a little pumpkin
383
00:10:48,614 --> 00:10:50,449
pie with whipped cream on it.
384
00:10:50,449 --> 00:10:52,184
Hey, I used to hate pumpkin pie.
385
00:10:52,184 --> 00:10:52,918
I don't know what happened to me.
386
00:10:52,918 --> 00:10:54,053
Now I love it.
387
00:10:54,053 --> 00:10:55,488
You never know.
388
00:10:55,488 --> 00:10:58,057
Look at at me.
389
00:10:58,057 --> 00:11:01,060
Yeah.
390
00:11:01,060 --> 00:11:01,527
I think it once you hit 60,
391
00:11:01,527 --> 00:11:04,530
Yeah, it's.
392
00:11:04,530 --> 00:11:05,531
and then we hit 75. It's mincemeat.
393
00:11:05,531 --> 00:11:06,365
You'll. Yeah. You can't.
394
00:11:06,365 --> 00:11:07,299
Oh, gosh.
395
00:11:07,299 --> 00:11:09,402
Oh, man. Don't tell me that.
396
00:11:09,402 --> 00:11:11,904
Okay.
397
00:11:11,904 --> 00:11:13,906
So, anyhow,
398
00:11:13,906 --> 00:11:14,607
we hope
399
00:11:14,607 --> 00:11:15,675
everybody has a great holiday
400
00:11:15,675 --> 00:11:16,275
for themselves.
401
00:11:16,275 --> 00:11:17,376
Gets to take a little time off
402
00:11:17,376 --> 00:11:18,144
with your family.
403
00:11:18,144 --> 00:11:19,078
So, from our family
404
00:11:19,078 --> 00:11:20,413
and our extended family
405
00:11:20,413 --> 00:11:23,416
to your families, happy holiday.
406
00:11:24,050 --> 00:11:26,352
We hope 2026 is a great year for you.
407
00:11:26,352 --> 00:11:27,853
We'll talk about that later.
408
00:11:27,853 --> 00:11:30,189
And, happy holidays, everybody.
409
00:11:31,390 --> 00:11:32,391
Yeah.
410
00:11:32,391 --> 00:11:34,260
Stay with the Christmas theme here.
411
00:11:34,260 --> 00:11:35,928
You know, like I mentioned,
412
00:11:35,928 --> 00:11:37,930
the big top of the show.
413
00:11:37,930 --> 00:11:39,131
You know,
414
00:11:39,131 --> 00:11:40,800
we've got our holiday schools going,
415
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,535
and it is just amazing
416
00:11:42,535 --> 00:11:43,703
what these holiday schools
417
00:11:43,703 --> 00:11:44,637
have turned into.
418
00:11:44,637 --> 00:11:45,971
You know, it started it.
419
00:11:45,971 --> 00:11:48,808
We did one in new Jersey,
420
00:11:48,808 --> 00:11:50,910
about 5 or 6 years ago.
421
00:11:50,910 --> 00:11:51,711
I'm not sure.
422
00:11:51,711 --> 00:11:54,580
And now we're up to four.
423
00:11:54,580 --> 00:11:56,282
We're doing one in Charlotte.
424
00:11:56,282 --> 00:11:58,250
We're doing one in Nashville.
425
00:11:58,250 --> 00:12:01,987
Or we're doing one in, Colorado.
426
00:12:02,321 --> 00:12:04,323
And we're doing one.
427
00:12:04,323 --> 00:12:07,326
And the last one will be in new Jersey.
428
00:12:07,393 --> 00:12:08,227
And, Wayne,
429
00:12:09,261 --> 00:12:09,762
I just
430
00:12:09,762 --> 00:12:12,164
hope you can make one of these,
431
00:12:12,164 --> 00:12:13,733
the Nashville one.
432
00:12:13,733 --> 00:12:14,333
Next week,
433
00:12:14,333 --> 00:12:17,303
I, I will.
434
00:12:17,303 --> 00:12:18,871
because I gotta tell you,
435
00:12:18,871 --> 00:12:21,874
it's a whole new type of training.
436
00:12:22,875 --> 00:12:24,210
Well, there's music,
437
00:12:24,210 --> 00:12:25,578
there's good food, there's,
438
00:12:25,578 --> 00:12:27,179
you know, Christmas music
439
00:12:27,179 --> 00:12:30,850
and just a lot of great, camaraderie.
440
00:12:31,183 --> 00:12:32,651
And just to watch,
441
00:12:32,651 --> 00:12:32,985
you know,
442
00:12:32,985 --> 00:12:34,954
I think in Colorado, they,
443
00:12:34,954 --> 00:12:37,089
they do stuff for the food bank
444
00:12:37,089 --> 00:12:38,324
and the other three schools.
445
00:12:38,324 --> 00:12:41,694
We do the toys for tots thing, and, like,
446
00:12:41,727 --> 00:12:42,995
like I said before, it's
447
00:12:42,995 --> 00:12:45,931
just one of my favorite times of the year
448
00:12:45,931 --> 00:12:48,434
to see these guys walking
449
00:12:48,434 --> 00:12:51,437
through the door with armloads of toys
450
00:12:52,004 --> 00:12:55,007
with just a giant smile on their face.
451
00:12:55,541 --> 00:12:57,843
You know, everybody just it's,
452
00:12:57,843 --> 00:12:59,512
I'm not saying that people aren't happy
453
00:12:59,512 --> 00:13:00,713
when they come to the trainings,
454
00:13:00,713 --> 00:13:02,214
but this is just a
455
00:13:02,214 --> 00:13:04,183
a different kind of happy, you know?
456
00:13:04,183 --> 00:13:04,717
I mean,
457
00:13:06,018 --> 00:13:06,752
I just think
458
00:13:06,752 --> 00:13:09,755
everybody has a great feeling especially,
459
00:13:10,089 --> 00:13:11,590
you know, for such great things,
460
00:13:11,590 --> 00:13:13,926
you know, toys for tots and food banks
461
00:13:13,926 --> 00:13:15,294
and things like that.
462
00:13:15,294 --> 00:13:17,630
It really sets the tone for that.
463
00:13:17,630 --> 00:13:18,197
You know,
464
00:13:18,197 --> 00:13:20,166
I don't want to sound corny, but the,
465
00:13:20,166 --> 00:13:22,034
you know, the giving time of year
466
00:13:22,034 --> 00:13:23,502
and it just puts everybody
467
00:13:23,502 --> 00:13:24,937
in a super mood.
468
00:13:24,937 --> 00:13:26,238
Boy, if you can
469
00:13:26,238 --> 00:13:27,640
come to one of the schools,
470
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:28,974
like I said, next week,
471
00:13:28,974 --> 00:13:30,876
this week with Charlotte,
472
00:13:30,876 --> 00:13:32,878
next week is going to be Nashville.
473
00:13:32,878 --> 00:13:34,513
And,
474
00:13:34,513 --> 00:13:37,416
I think Denver next week.
475
00:13:37,416 --> 00:13:40,419
Let you know.
476
00:13:40,419 --> 00:13:40,753
Or is it the week after.
477
00:13:40,753 --> 00:13:43,522
But check the website, show up
478
00:13:43,522 --> 00:13:44,590
even if you just can't,
479
00:13:44,590 --> 00:13:46,091
even if you can't make it for the school,
480
00:13:46,091 --> 00:13:47,893
come on and bring up toy.
481
00:13:47,893 --> 00:13:48,394
Bring something
482
00:13:48,394 --> 00:13:49,862
for the food bank, say hi,
483
00:13:49,862 --> 00:13:52,164
have a bite with us. Have a cookie.
484
00:13:52,164 --> 00:13:53,732
Listen to some music.
485
00:13:53,732 --> 00:13:55,668
Have some stories with people.
486
00:13:55,668 --> 00:13:57,369
Catch up with old friends, things
487
00:13:57,369 --> 00:13:59,905
like that. I mean, these are just.
488
00:13:59,905 --> 00:14:01,841
This is just a great time of year,
489
00:14:01,841 --> 00:14:02,541
you know, just,
490
00:14:02,541 --> 00:14:04,109
just an awesome time of year.
491
00:14:04,109 --> 00:14:06,011
I look so forward to this.
492
00:14:06,011 --> 00:14:07,546
But I gotta tell you, I hate
493
00:14:07,546 --> 00:14:08,414
when it's over.
494
00:14:08,414 --> 00:14:10,382
I'm bushed.
495
00:14:10,382 --> 00:14:11,116
I'm pretty tired, but it's a good tired.
496
00:14:11,116 --> 00:14:14,119
Well,
497
00:14:14,119 --> 00:14:15,387
That's very sweet.
498
00:14:15,387 --> 00:14:17,289
When I got there on a Saturday
499
00:14:17,289 --> 00:14:18,257
after the class was over
500
00:14:18,257 --> 00:14:18,924
and they had the big,
501
00:14:18,924 --> 00:14:21,927
huge box full of toys and,
502
00:14:22,795 --> 00:14:25,130
business handmade toys were in that box.
503
00:14:25,130 --> 00:14:26,031
But my brother and
504
00:14:26,031 --> 00:14:27,466
I took him to the flea market,
505
00:14:27,466 --> 00:14:30,469
sold them, got 180 bucks.
506
00:14:33,772 --> 00:14:34,173
Like I
507
00:14:34,173 --> 00:14:34,740
said, man,
508
00:14:34,740 --> 00:14:37,743
it's all about the spirit of giving.
509
00:14:37,977 --> 00:14:40,813
That's fantastic.
510
00:14:40,813 --> 00:14:42,248
You probably went out and bought a couple
511
00:14:42,248 --> 00:14:44,216
cases of ripple with it.
512
00:14:44,216 --> 00:14:46,652
No, but some fishing lures, of course.
513
00:14:46,652 --> 00:14:47,820
Yeah.
514
00:14:47,820 --> 00:14:49,521
Okay. I'm kidding.
515
00:14:49,521 --> 00:14:51,523
All right. Rob.
516
00:14:51,523 --> 00:14:52,658
There's been another episode
517
00:14:52,658 --> 00:14:54,159
of On the Floor with Wayne and Rob,
518
00:14:54,159 --> 00:14:55,728
so please stay tuned for another episode.
