00:00:12,779 --> 00:00:13,713
episode of On the Floor
4
00:00:13,713 --> 00:00:14,581
with Wayne and Rob.
5
00:00:14,581 --> 00:00:14,914

Hey. Hey, Rob.
10
00:00:21,955 --> 00:00:23,323
Merry Christmas.
11
00:00:23,656 --> 00:00:24,424
Merry Christmas.
12
00:00:24,424 --> 00:00:26,192
I didn't think you did Christmas.
13
00:00:26,192 --> 00:00:27,127
Merry Christmas.
14
00:00:27,127 --> 00:00:29,429
Back, Wayne? Yes.
15
00:00:29,429 --> 00:00:31,364
I didn't think you were a Christmas guy,
16
00:00:31,364 --> 00:00:33,566
so I'm glad you're coming around.
17
00:00:34,100 --> 00:00:35,668
Well, I've always been a Christmas guy.
18
00:00:35,668 --> 00:00:36,569
I just.
19
00:00:36,569 --> 00:00:40,040
Just don't give up gifts.
20
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,475
I'm the true meaning of Christmas.
21
00:00:42,475 --> 00:00:45,045
You're the receiver you receive.
22
00:00:45,478 --> 00:00:45,979
Yes.
23
00:00:45,979 --> 00:00:47,213
So happy holidays,
24
00:00:47,213 --> 00:00:48,848
everybody, and merry Christmas.
25
00:00:48,848 --> 00:00:49,516
And
26
00:00:50,216 --> 00:00:51,651
we've made it through another year.
27
00:00:51,651 --> 00:00:52,652
So
28
00:00:53,286 --> 00:00:54,454
one you know,
29
00:00:54,454 --> 00:00:55,088
we always say
30
00:00:55,088 --> 00:00:57,257
thank you to our listeners and
31
00:00:57,257 --> 00:01:00,660
and we mean that sincerely and above
32
00:01:00,660 --> 00:01:01,394
and beyond that.
33
00:01:01,394 --> 00:01:01,961
You know,
34
00:01:01,961 --> 00:01:04,064
as for contractors and retailers
35
00:01:04,064 --> 00:01:06,032
and foremen and craftsmen
36
00:01:06,032 --> 00:01:07,934
and crafts women,
37
00:01:07,934 --> 00:01:09,836
you made it through another year
38
00:01:09,836 --> 00:01:11,938
and pat yourself on the back, man,
39
00:01:11,938 --> 00:01:12,572
because that's one hell
40
00:01:12,572 --> 00:01:14,607
of an accomplishment. That's
41
00:01:15,875 --> 00:01:16,443
you know, we always
42
00:01:16,443 --> 00:01:17,077
talk about this
43
00:01:17,077 --> 00:01:18,578
almost being a small fraternity
44
00:01:18,578 --> 00:01:19,779
or whatever, doing floors.
45
00:01:19,779 --> 00:01:20,914
And it is a very,
46
00:01:20,914 --> 00:01:22,282
very difficult job to do.
47
00:01:22,282 --> 00:01:23,817
Man is labor intensive.
48
00:01:23,817 --> 00:01:24,551
It's hard work.
49
00:01:24,551 --> 00:01:26,019
It's you're under a microscope.
50
00:01:26,019 --> 00:01:26,686
A lot of times
51
00:01:26,686 --> 00:01:27,353
there's not a lot of
52
00:01:27,353 --> 00:01:28,488
people can do this craft
53
00:01:28,488 --> 00:01:30,523
that we do called hardwood floors.
54
00:01:30,523 --> 00:01:32,892
So, hey, congratulations.
55
00:01:32,892 --> 00:01:35,061
And and pat yourself on the back
56
00:01:35,061 --> 00:01:36,596
for another another year
57
00:01:36,596 --> 00:01:37,697
and hope you learned something
58
00:01:37,697 --> 00:01:40,066
along the way and made some money and and
59
00:01:41,568 --> 00:01:42,869
got some value out of it.
60
00:01:42,869 --> 00:01:43,937
We are on the road this week.
61
00:01:43,937 --> 00:01:44,838
What you do.
62
00:01:44,838 --> 00:01:46,940
Now? I've been home.
63
00:01:46,940 --> 00:01:47,807
I'm home this week
64
00:01:47,807 --> 00:01:49,642
and wrapping up the end of the year
65
00:01:49,642 --> 00:01:51,878
and I'm excited about that
66
00:01:51,878 --> 00:01:53,847
and talking to my guys and everything.
67
00:01:53,847 --> 00:01:55,715
So really good year.
68
00:01:55,715 --> 00:01:58,651
Rob You know, and I think about this year
69
00:01:59,152 --> 00:02:02,388
I was thinking about VONA and the things
70
00:02:02,455 --> 00:02:04,023
that we've done throughout this year.
71
00:02:04,023 --> 00:02:06,226
If we do a year in review,
72
00:02:06,226 --> 00:02:07,861
it's actually been 20, 22,
73
00:02:07,861 --> 00:02:10,063
a really big year for us.
74
00:02:10,063 --> 00:02:10,730
If we go back
75
00:02:10,730 --> 00:02:11,564
and look at some of the things
76
00:02:11,564 --> 00:02:14,467
that we've launched this year and.
77
00:02:15,034 --> 00:02:18,505
Yeah, we did a read out, we did.
78
00:02:18,505 --> 00:02:20,206
We did the whole
79
00:02:20,206 --> 00:02:22,408
almost the whole HD lineup.
80
00:02:23,176 --> 00:02:26,913
We did that going to Raw and Anti-Slip
81
00:02:26,913 --> 00:02:29,582
and I think Gloss is coming out
82
00:02:31,284 --> 00:02:31,417
like.
83
00:02:31,417 --> 00:02:33,753
Traffic. Is coming out. Yeah. Yep.
84
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,088
Going from traffic
85
00:02:35,088 --> 00:02:37,590
to the traffic HD family,
86
00:02:38,958 --> 00:02:41,094
which, you know, it's going to give us
87
00:02:41,928 --> 00:02:42,729
much better care
88
00:02:42,729 --> 00:02:44,297
times, three day care times.
89
00:02:44,297 --> 00:02:46,366
And also the green card
90
00:02:46,366 --> 00:02:47,667
gold certification.
91
00:02:47,667 --> 00:02:49,569
So yeah, made some
92
00:02:49,569 --> 00:02:51,471
really great improvements.
93
00:02:51,471 --> 00:02:53,339
Yep we
94
00:02:54,107 --> 00:02:55,775
the diamond plate for the power drive
95
00:02:55,775 --> 00:02:56,643
for sanding aluminum
96
00:02:56,643 --> 00:02:59,179
oxide floors is a big deal
97
00:02:59,179 --> 00:03:00,280
and one of our most important
98
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:01,714
assets is our people.
99
00:03:01,714 --> 00:03:03,116
We've added more people.
100
00:03:03,116 --> 00:03:04,350
I was able
101
00:03:04,384 --> 00:03:06,452
able to add another adhesive manager
102
00:03:06,452 --> 00:03:07,620
to the team
103
00:03:07,620 --> 00:03:09,389
and team more up there
104
00:03:09,389 --> 00:03:10,423
in Seattle and Portland
105
00:03:10,423 --> 00:03:12,492
and or through Canada.
106
00:03:12,492 --> 00:03:14,661
So we have I know we've added
107
00:03:15,562 --> 00:03:16,262
some other
108
00:03:16,262 --> 00:03:17,163
inside people,
109
00:03:17,163 --> 00:03:20,066
so that's always a good thing.
110
00:03:20,066 --> 00:03:22,202
I think we've also added
111
00:03:22,202 --> 00:03:22,735
we had
112
00:03:22,735 --> 00:03:23,469
Oh man, I wish
113
00:03:23,469 --> 00:03:25,505
I could remember their names.
114
00:03:25,505 --> 00:03:27,640
It's terrible of me. But we added
115
00:03:28,675 --> 00:03:30,910
a new team in Arkansas.
116
00:03:30,910 --> 00:03:36,149
We added a new team in March.
117
00:03:36,149 --> 00:03:37,550
Texas, yeah.
118
00:03:37,550 --> 00:03:39,652
We had a Josh Frink.
119
00:03:40,153 --> 00:03:42,155
Yep. Down in. Florida. Down in Florida.
120
00:03:42,488 --> 00:03:43,990
So
121
00:03:44,557 --> 00:03:46,893
sorry if I forgot anybody.
122
00:03:46,893 --> 00:03:47,694
Now, but there.
123
00:03:47,694 --> 00:03:48,261
Would be
124
00:03:48,261 --> 00:03:51,264
they hire somebody West Coast to.
125
00:03:51,264 --> 00:03:51,965
Know.
126
00:03:52,131 --> 00:03:54,734
I said, well, adhesives manager and he's.
127
00:03:55,101 --> 00:03:56,836
I'm talking just regular teams.
128
00:03:56,836 --> 00:03:57,604
No.
129
00:03:57,604 --> 00:04:00,873
No.
130
00:04:00,873 --> 00:04:01,774
So
131
00:04:02,375 --> 00:04:04,410
well, let me ask you about 2002, Rob.
132
00:04:04,644 --> 00:04:07,046
Did you learn anything at all this year?
133
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,682
222 Yeah, that was 2000.
134
00:04:09,682 --> 00:04:10,450
Two was the year
135
00:04:10,450 --> 00:04:13,286
that I started with Boehner. 2022.
136
00:04:13,286 --> 00:04:15,388
I mean, really, they've been that long?
137
00:04:15,388 --> 00:04:16,923
No, no, no, no, no.
138
00:04:16,923 --> 00:04:18,625
I didn't think so. I didn't think so.
139
00:04:18,625 --> 00:04:20,193
It was not 2002.
140
00:04:20,193 --> 00:04:22,528
That's when I started with basic 2002.
141
00:04:22,895 --> 00:04:25,498
I started with Boehner and
142
00:04:26,366 --> 00:04:29,135
2007,
143
00:04:29,135 --> 00:04:31,371
27, 28. One of those.
144
00:04:33,406 --> 00:04:33,673
You look.
145
00:04:33,673 --> 00:04:34,374
Like you're tired.
146
00:04:34,374 --> 00:04:36,242
Do you ever take vitamins?
147
00:04:36,509 --> 00:04:38,411
Okay. Yeah.
148
00:04:38,411 --> 00:04:39,946
That was the new thing that I did
149
00:04:39,946 --> 00:04:41,681
this year. Really?
150
00:04:41,681 --> 00:04:43,883
Yeah. I started taking a multivitamin.
151
00:04:44,050 --> 00:04:46,619
Yeah, we're not doing too much for me.
152
00:04:46,619 --> 00:04:49,088
It's working wonders, man. Yeah, it was.
153
00:04:49,255 --> 00:04:50,223
We had a long week.
154
00:04:50,223 --> 00:04:51,224
This is a long week.
155
00:04:51,224 --> 00:04:53,326
We had we.
156
00:04:53,926 --> 00:04:56,496
We had an awesome school to finish.
157
00:04:56,529 --> 00:04:57,530
I mean,
158
00:04:57,897 --> 00:04:58,865
it was a great year, a
159
00:04:58,865 --> 00:05:00,166
great way to finish out the year
160
00:05:00,166 --> 00:05:00,733
in training.
161
00:05:00,733 --> 00:05:03,102
We had an amazing school
162
00:05:03,703 --> 00:05:06,372
in New Jersey this week
163
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,107
and it was probably one
164
00:05:08,107 --> 00:05:09,475
of our biggest of the year
165
00:05:09,475 --> 00:05:10,476
couple of years ago
166
00:05:10,476 --> 00:05:11,311
before COVID
167
00:05:11,311 --> 00:05:14,113
and everything, we did a huge school
168
00:05:15,048 --> 00:05:16,516
st around the same time
169
00:05:16,516 --> 00:05:17,417
and it was like the week
170
00:05:17,417 --> 00:05:19,185
before Christmas.
171
00:05:19,185 --> 00:05:21,054
So it was really just like
172
00:05:21,054 --> 00:05:22,588
a Christmas party for floor
173
00:05:22,588 --> 00:05:23,723
guys, you know?
174
00:05:23,723 --> 00:05:25,792
But everybody got to got together
175
00:05:25,792 --> 00:05:27,193
learning and stuff
176
00:05:27,193 --> 00:05:28,494
and COVID,
177
00:05:28,494 --> 00:05:28,861
you know,
178
00:05:28,861 --> 00:05:29,462
kind of shut
179
00:05:29,462 --> 00:05:30,463
the big numbers down
180
00:05:30,463 --> 00:05:32,231
and everything and, you know,
181
00:05:32,231 --> 00:05:35,001
I know this year I don't know.
182
00:05:35,001 --> 00:05:35,702
I think I heard
183
00:05:35,702 --> 00:05:36,903
the numbers are starting to pick
184
00:05:36,903 --> 00:05:38,304
up or whatever. But we had
185
00:05:39,339 --> 00:05:39,672
we had
186
00:05:39,672 --> 00:05:43,242
30 people into a school this week.
187
00:05:44,243 --> 00:05:45,511
Nice. Yeah.
188
00:05:45,511 --> 00:05:46,813
So we did.
189
00:05:46,813 --> 00:05:49,048
Oh, it was, it was awesome.
190
00:05:50,249 --> 00:05:51,651
And it was kind of
191
00:05:51,651 --> 00:05:52,952
like a renegade school.
192
00:05:52,952 --> 00:05:54,153
We didn't really follow
193
00:05:54,153 --> 00:05:56,656
the regular three day procedure.
194
00:05:56,656 --> 00:05:58,591
We did just
195
00:05:58,891 --> 00:05:59,826
a lot of color.
196
00:05:59,826 --> 00:06:01,994
It was an invitational type of a thing
197
00:06:01,994 --> 00:06:04,197
just for floor guys.
198
00:06:04,197 --> 00:06:06,933
You know, there weren't any,
199
00:06:06,999 --> 00:06:08,835
you know, people who weren't there.
200
00:06:08,835 --> 00:06:10,436
People had some experience.
201
00:06:10,436 --> 00:06:13,740
But the cool thing is we also had
202
00:06:13,740 --> 00:06:15,975
we had three kids, three
203
00:06:16,976 --> 00:06:19,479
like kids now if you're under 50,
204
00:06:20,046 --> 00:06:21,514
but we had three new guys
205
00:06:21,514 --> 00:06:24,016
who had never seen a floor in their life.
206
00:06:24,016 --> 00:06:26,285
And I started them out on a maple panel
207
00:06:27,086 --> 00:06:28,154
and
208
00:06:29,322 --> 00:06:31,290
my God, they were just
209
00:06:31,290 --> 00:06:31,991
horrible, you know,
210
00:06:31,991 --> 00:06:32,992
first time around, the big
211
00:06:32,992 --> 00:06:34,460
machine and everything, just
212
00:06:35,661 --> 00:06:38,331
just a nightmare, you know?
213
00:06:38,331 --> 00:06:39,699
And when they all got done
214
00:06:39,699 --> 00:06:41,701
with the first cut on the first panel,
215
00:06:42,201 --> 00:06:45,571
then I moved them over to the far panel
216
00:06:45,571 --> 00:06:46,372
in New Jersey,
217
00:06:46,372 --> 00:06:49,075
you know, right up against the wall
218
00:06:49,075 --> 00:06:51,511
and Charles, my my good
219
00:06:51,511 --> 00:06:52,245
man, Charles,
220
00:06:52,245 --> 00:06:54,614
who works with me in training,
221
00:06:54,614 --> 00:06:56,549
I said, All right, man, here you go.
222
00:06:56,549 --> 00:06:57,750
There's three rookies.
223
00:06:57,750 --> 00:07:00,019
They're all yours.
224
00:07:00,019 --> 00:07:01,888
And at the end of the second day,
225
00:07:01,888 --> 00:07:03,489
we brought him back to the panel
226
00:07:03,489 --> 00:07:04,657
that they started on.
227
00:07:04,657 --> 00:07:05,158
And I said,
228
00:07:05,158 --> 00:07:07,293
All right, now clean this damn mess up.
229
00:07:08,327 --> 00:07:10,863
And Wayne, I'm telling you,
230
00:07:11,197 --> 00:07:12,565
you would have loved
231
00:07:12,565 --> 00:07:13,232
somebody like
232
00:07:13,232 --> 00:07:15,935
you would have absolutely loved it.
233
00:07:15,935 --> 00:07:16,836
And I told Charles,
234
00:07:16,836 --> 00:07:18,771
I go, let's just back off
235
00:07:18,771 --> 00:07:20,406
and see what they've learned over
236
00:07:20,406 --> 00:07:21,674
the last 48 hours.
237
00:07:23,042 --> 00:07:24,310
And those three kids sanded
238
00:07:24,310 --> 00:07:26,312
that panel down.
239
00:07:26,345 --> 00:07:28,514
Perfect. John Edge.
240
00:07:28,514 --> 00:07:29,816
The funny part was the first thing.
241
00:07:29,816 --> 00:07:31,017
And one kid said to me, he goes, Hey,
242
00:07:31,017 --> 00:07:32,852
can we just use a power drive?
243
00:07:32,852 --> 00:07:34,887
Oh, no, no, no. No.
244
00:07:35,688 --> 00:07:36,055
No.
245
00:07:36,055 --> 00:07:38,791
You're going to kick it old school. Okay.
246
00:07:38,791 --> 00:07:40,960
And they knocked it out of the park.
247
00:07:42,161 --> 00:07:44,363
I mean, they knocked it out of the park.
248
00:07:44,363 --> 00:07:46,232
So when they were done,
249
00:07:46,232 --> 00:07:48,067
I got the three kids
250
00:07:48,067 --> 00:07:49,168
standing up there
251
00:07:49,168 --> 00:07:51,404
in front of the whole class.
252
00:07:51,404 --> 00:07:52,972
And it gave a little speech like,
253
00:07:52,972 --> 00:07:54,674
you know, yesterday
254
00:07:54,674 --> 00:07:55,341
these guys had
255
00:07:55,341 --> 00:07:57,944
never seen a floor machine in their life.
256
00:07:59,412 --> 00:08:01,714
And look at what they did today,
257
00:08:01,714 --> 00:08:04,050
you know, a good two days of training.
258
00:08:04,350 --> 00:08:05,451
And like I say,
259
00:08:05,451 --> 00:08:08,521
hats off to my man Charles.
260
00:08:08,521 --> 00:08:09,822
And so the whole class
261
00:08:09,822 --> 00:08:11,591
gave a big round of applause.
262
00:08:11,591 --> 00:08:12,692
You know, I walked up
263
00:08:12,692 --> 00:08:13,593
and I shook their hand.
264
00:08:13,593 --> 00:08:15,561
I said, you know, I'm really proud,
265
00:08:15,561 --> 00:08:16,295
proud of you guys.
266
00:08:16,295 --> 00:08:18,397
What you've accomplished in two days.
267
00:08:18,397 --> 00:08:19,098
You know, it's great
268
00:08:19,098 --> 00:08:20,733
to have you in the Brotherhood.
269
00:08:20,733 --> 00:08:22,935
And then every guy in the class
270
00:08:23,202 --> 00:08:25,338
went up and shook their hands.
271
00:08:25,972 --> 00:08:27,406
Wow. They were on a panel.
272
00:08:27,406 --> 00:08:29,242
I got to I'll send the picture in
273
00:08:29,242 --> 00:08:30,943
so you guys can see
274
00:08:30,943 --> 00:08:32,111
it was a great picture of them
275
00:08:32,111 --> 00:08:33,913
and they got their arms crossed.
276
00:08:33,913 --> 00:08:36,516
Big smile. And I mean, they are just
277
00:08:37,650 --> 00:08:39,318
just so proud of what they did.
278
00:08:39,318 --> 00:08:41,554
So it was really cool
279
00:08:41,554 --> 00:08:43,956
that it was a really great
280
00:08:43,956 --> 00:08:46,726
part of a really amazing school.
281
00:08:46,726 --> 00:08:48,094
We did
282
00:08:49,228 --> 00:08:50,630
we did all we stained
283
00:08:50,630 --> 00:08:53,633
a Christmas wreath.
284
00:08:53,633 --> 00:08:56,636
We did a Christmas tree.
285
00:08:56,636 --> 00:08:58,738
But everything was done
286
00:08:58,738 --> 00:09:00,072
with tinting, stains.
287
00:09:00,072 --> 00:09:01,841
There was no paint. It all looks painted.
288
00:09:01,841 --> 00:09:03,509
But when you look close,
289
00:09:03,509 --> 00:09:06,812
it was really just all custom blended
290
00:09:06,812 --> 00:09:08,581
stains, things like that.
291
00:09:08,581 --> 00:09:10,383
And we did it all in the red out.
292
00:09:10,383 --> 00:09:12,485
So we did white around
293
00:09:12,485 --> 00:09:13,786
on the red oak panels.
294
00:09:13,786 --> 00:09:16,355
So you can see how why it is so it was
295
00:09:16,722 --> 00:09:19,158
it was a great it was a great school.
296
00:09:19,592 --> 00:09:21,360
Really great school.
297
00:09:21,994 --> 00:09:23,396
Well, it's very cool
298
00:09:23,396 --> 00:09:24,263
that you guys did that.
299
00:09:24,263 --> 00:09:24,864
And, you know,
300
00:09:24,864 --> 00:09:26,132
we need more people in the industry.
301
00:09:26,132 --> 00:09:27,066
So gosh you
302
00:09:27,066 --> 00:09:27,199
of an
303
00:09:27,199 --> 00:09:28,167
impression that would have made
304
00:09:28,167 --> 00:09:29,702
if I was a new kid
305
00:09:29,702 --> 00:09:31,270
just learning how to trade
306
00:09:31,270 --> 00:09:33,439
and you get that kind of
307
00:09:33,439 --> 00:09:35,875
response that's pretty nice and maple
308
00:09:36,309 --> 00:09:38,144
is, you know, it's a tough species, so,
309
00:09:38,144 --> 00:09:39,712
you know, that's a big deal, man.
310
00:09:39,712 --> 00:09:41,480
Congratulations. Yeah, very good.
311
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:42,615
Very cool.
312
00:09:42,648 --> 00:09:44,951
And the next day, too,
313
00:09:44,951 --> 00:09:46,619
when the school was over,
314
00:09:46,619 --> 00:09:48,554
I had another class
315
00:09:48,554 --> 00:09:49,689
that wasn't another class.
316
00:09:49,689 --> 00:09:52,458
Instead, another sport crew come in
317
00:09:53,025 --> 00:09:54,226
and they have a big job
318
00:09:54,226 --> 00:09:56,128
going on in Queens next week. And
319
00:09:57,363 --> 00:09:58,264
they asked for kind
320
00:09:58,264 --> 00:09:59,465
of a refresher course.
321
00:09:59,465 --> 00:10:00,132
I said, Yeah,
322
00:10:00,132 --> 00:10:00,766
you know,
323
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:02,335
you know,
324
00:10:02,335 --> 00:10:03,502
I'm working at a training center
325
00:10:03,502 --> 00:10:03,970
this week.
326
00:10:03,970 --> 00:10:04,670
Once you meet me
327
00:10:04,670 --> 00:10:06,839
there, I'll, you know, make sure the
328
00:10:07,707 --> 00:10:08,040
you see
329
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:09,475
and everything comes around,
330
00:10:09,475 --> 00:10:10,076
you know, that's why
331
00:10:10,076 --> 00:10:11,010
I brought those kids
332
00:10:11,010 --> 00:10:12,712
back in a maple panel.
333
00:10:12,712 --> 00:10:15,414
So it was all prepped for my gym class
334
00:10:15,648 --> 00:10:16,549
when they got in there.
335
00:10:16,549 --> 00:10:18,884
The sport guys is there.
336
00:10:18,884 --> 00:10:20,419
It's all yeah, yeah, yeah.
337
00:10:20,419 --> 00:10:21,187
Well, we'll. Just.
338
00:10:21,187 --> 00:10:23,222
Whatever I can do to make my life easy.
339
00:10:23,789 --> 00:10:25,591
Very nice.
340
00:10:25,591 --> 00:10:28,594
So now I get these
341
00:10:28,594 --> 00:10:29,462
hard
342
00:10:30,696 --> 00:10:32,198
New York City
343
00:10:32,198 --> 00:10:34,233
carpenters union guys coming in
344
00:10:35,267 --> 00:10:36,936
to do some colors, right?
345
00:10:36,936 --> 00:10:38,270
Because they get to do a big gym,
346
00:10:38,270 --> 00:10:39,238
like I said,
347
00:10:39,238 --> 00:10:40,306
and a bunch of colors
348
00:10:40,306 --> 00:10:40,973
and everything that
349
00:10:40,973 --> 00:10:42,241
they got to try to match up.
350
00:10:43,509 --> 00:10:45,177
So they come in and
351
00:10:45,177 --> 00:10:46,078
they're looking around
352
00:10:46,078 --> 00:10:47,580
and they see the Christmas trees
353
00:10:47,580 --> 00:10:49,782
and the tree and the stains
354
00:10:49,782 --> 00:10:50,650
and everything.
355
00:10:50,650 --> 00:10:54,453
And and oh, Fredo just did an amazing job
356
00:10:54,453 --> 00:10:56,389
of decorating
357
00:10:56,389 --> 00:10:59,458
the whole training center of the trees.
358
00:10:59,492 --> 00:11:01,794
That's the Jeff for Fredo.
359
00:11:01,794 --> 00:11:02,762
Yeah. Yeah.
360
00:11:02,762 --> 00:11:03,629
Jeff, there's Jeff.
361
00:11:03,629 --> 00:11:04,864
Afraid of the territory manager
362
00:11:04,864 --> 00:11:06,265
for born in New Jersey.
363
00:11:06,265 --> 00:11:07,333
In New York. Yeah.
364
00:11:07,333 --> 00:11:09,568
Everybody knows Jeff. Yeah. Okay.
365
00:11:09,902 --> 00:11:11,904
So he did just an amazing job.
366
00:11:11,904 --> 00:11:14,006
Gifts under the tree for everybody.
367
00:11:14,006 --> 00:11:16,208
I mean, it was it was right.
368
00:11:16,208 --> 00:11:16,942
Anyway, so
369
00:11:16,942 --> 00:11:18,344
here come these hardened
370
00:11:18,344 --> 00:11:20,346
New York City carpenters, you know,
371
00:11:20,946 --> 00:11:23,582
and they see the stuff
372
00:11:23,582 --> 00:11:24,650
all the Christmas stuff.
373
00:11:24,650 --> 00:11:26,152
And I was telling them, you know, well,
374
00:11:26,152 --> 00:11:27,987
we just had a color school, you know,
375
00:11:27,987 --> 00:11:28,921
past couple days.
376
00:11:29,855 --> 00:11:32,558
And as we get going with their training,
377
00:11:33,092 --> 00:11:35,227
the one guy says to me,
378
00:11:35,227 --> 00:11:37,496
you know, if you don't mind,
379
00:11:37,730 --> 00:11:38,330
you know,
380
00:11:38,431 --> 00:11:39,799
can we play some Christmas music?
381
00:11:39,799 --> 00:11:41,033
Can we play Christmas music
382
00:11:41,033 --> 00:11:41,834
while we're doing this?
383
00:11:41,834 --> 00:11:43,903
So I said, Really?
384
00:11:44,770 --> 00:11:45,604
Wow.
385
00:11:45,604 --> 00:11:47,573
New York City carpenters union
386
00:11:47,573 --> 00:11:48,841
tough guys, right?
387
00:11:48,841 --> 00:11:50,009
And you want to listen?
388
00:11:50,009 --> 00:11:52,344
I said absolutely so
389
00:11:53,913 --> 00:11:55,047
it was a great week.
390
00:11:55,047 --> 00:11:57,316
I'm totally in the mood
391
00:11:57,349 --> 00:11:58,918
for for the holidays.
392
00:11:58,918 --> 00:11:59,685
Now,
393
00:11:59,819 --> 00:12:01,987
when those New York City carpenters,
394
00:12:01,987 --> 00:12:03,989
the union carpenters, said,
395
00:12:03,989 --> 00:12:05,658
can we listen to Christmas music
396
00:12:05,658 --> 00:12:07,026
as we're doing the training today?
397
00:12:07,026 --> 00:12:08,694
I was like, Oh, my God, absolutely.
398
00:12:08,694 --> 00:12:10,229
I you of course.
399
00:12:10,229 --> 00:12:12,398
Of course you can. So
400
00:12:12,398 --> 00:12:13,232
but the
401
00:12:13,232 --> 00:12:14,734
the tree and the wreath, I think, is
402
00:12:14,734 --> 00:12:15,334
what really
403
00:12:15,334 --> 00:12:16,235
put him in the mood
404
00:12:16,235 --> 00:12:19,071
to do some training to Christmas music.
405
00:12:19,805 --> 00:12:20,840
Very nice.
406
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,042
Well, I'm happy for you
407
00:12:23,042 --> 00:12:23,876
more than anything,
408
00:12:23,876 --> 00:12:25,711
because you put your heart
409
00:12:25,711 --> 00:12:27,613
and soul into these classes in
410
00:12:27,613 --> 00:12:29,281
32 weeks, a year, and then
411
00:12:30,783 --> 00:12:32,118
the last class of this.
412
00:12:32,118 --> 00:12:33,385
Your last class of the year?
413
00:12:33,385 --> 00:12:34,687
Yes. Yes.
414
00:12:34,687 --> 00:12:37,389
So the last class you get.
415
00:12:37,656 --> 00:12:39,058
You know, you have 30 students there.
416
00:12:39,058 --> 00:12:40,593
You get to dress up like Santa Claus.
417
00:12:40,593 --> 00:12:41,293
You got to do something
418
00:12:41,293 --> 00:12:42,228
a little different.
419
00:12:42,228 --> 00:12:44,196
So that's good for you, man.
420
00:12:44,196 --> 00:12:45,297
I'm happy for.
421
00:12:45,297 --> 00:12:46,165
You that I had to be
422
00:12:46,165 --> 00:12:47,366
the only person in the world
423
00:12:47,366 --> 00:12:48,334
that had to lose weight
424
00:12:48,334 --> 00:12:51,137
to get into a Santa suit.
425
00:12:51,137 --> 00:12:52,037
Really?
426
00:12:53,005 --> 00:12:53,272
Yeah.
427
00:12:53,272 --> 00:12:54,907
So I was happy it fit, you know.
428
00:12:54,907 --> 00:12:55,741
Well,
429
00:12:55,741 --> 00:12:57,243
this goes back to my other
430
00:12:57,243 --> 00:12:57,910
what I started.
431
00:12:57,910 --> 00:13:00,112
I asked you if you if you take vitamins.
432
00:13:00,946 --> 00:13:01,313
And.
433
00:13:01,814 --> 00:13:07,186
I'm going to do a PSA announcement,
434
00:13:07,186 --> 00:13:11,524
don't take them.
435
00:13:11,524 --> 00:13:14,260
I think vitamins are a waste of money.
436
00:13:14,260 --> 00:13:16,428
I'm I'm seriously beginning to doubt
437
00:13:17,363 --> 00:13:20,833
if vitamins work because answer me this.
438
00:13:21,333 --> 00:13:22,468
How do you know they don't work?
439
00:13:24,136 --> 00:13:24,937
How do you know they work?
440
00:13:24,937 --> 00:13:25,971
They don't work.
441
00:13:25,971 --> 00:13:26,705
Do you feel any different
442
00:13:26,705 --> 00:13:28,140
taking vitamins? No.
443
00:13:28,140 --> 00:13:30,910
No, he does.
444
00:13:30,910 --> 00:13:31,911
No, I.
445
00:13:31,911 --> 00:13:33,512
I don't think I do.
446
00:13:33,512 --> 00:13:34,580
No, no, no.
447
00:13:34,580 --> 00:13:35,581
Nobody feels any different
448
00:13:35,581 --> 00:13:37,917
because he took vitamins. So leave, take.
449
00:13:37,917 --> 00:13:39,385
Don't waste your money on them.
450
00:13:39,385 --> 00:13:41,453
If somebody is taking vitamins out there
451
00:13:42,621 --> 00:13:43,689
and they made a difference,
452
00:13:43,689 --> 00:13:45,391
let us know what they are.
453
00:13:45,391 --> 00:13:46,058
I'd like to know
454
00:13:46,058 --> 00:13:47,159
because I have never
455
00:13:47,159 --> 00:13:48,961
I've yet to see
456
00:13:48,961 --> 00:13:50,896
any vitamins make any difference to me
457
00:13:50,896 --> 00:13:51,497
at all.
458
00:13:51,697 --> 00:13:52,231
One time
459
00:13:52,231 --> 00:13:55,034
Steve C Bar told me, Don't take it.
460
00:13:55,701 --> 00:13:57,770
I saw him pop and something, you know,
461
00:13:57,770 --> 00:14:00,306
like he was doing a shot in the morning
462
00:14:00,306 --> 00:14:01,340
one day
463
00:14:01,774 --> 00:14:03,242
and I said, you know, what's that?
464
00:14:03,242 --> 00:14:05,744
And he goes, Oh, it's my vitamins.
465
00:14:05,744 --> 00:14:07,913
I go, really liquid, huh?
466
00:14:07,947 --> 00:14:10,316
He goes, Oh, yeah, liquid, man.
467
00:14:10,316 --> 00:14:12,384
That's that's the only way to go.
468
00:14:12,384 --> 00:14:12,751
He goes,
469
00:14:12,751 --> 00:14:14,053
You take a regular vitamin,
470
00:14:14,053 --> 00:14:16,255
it just now just comes right out.
471
00:14:16,255 --> 00:14:19,058
It doesn't dissolve quick enough.
472
00:14:19,058 --> 00:14:21,093
So maybe it's a liquid vitamin.
473
00:14:21,093 --> 00:14:23,395
I never looked into it, but
474
00:14:23,395 --> 00:14:23,996
there's got to be
475
00:14:23,996 --> 00:14:25,231
somebody listening to this
476
00:14:25,231 --> 00:14:27,066
that knows more than I
477
00:14:27,066 --> 00:14:27,766
know that you think
478
00:14:28,801 --> 00:14:29,435
about it.
479
00:14:29,435 --> 00:14:30,669
I mean, come on.
480
00:14:30,669 --> 00:14:34,039
You're a you're a.
481
00:14:34,039 --> 00:14:34,907
So you
482
00:14:34,907 --> 00:14:36,242
I asked you if you learn anything
483
00:14:36,242 --> 00:14:37,910
this in 2022.
484
00:14:37,910 --> 00:14:41,146
I mean, what what looking back this year,
485
00:14:41,180 --> 00:14:42,014
anything any
486
00:14:42,014 --> 00:14:43,682
any great changes in your life
487
00:14:43,682 --> 00:14:45,517
as you waste this year? Yes.
488
00:14:45,517 --> 00:14:46,752
This was a big year
489
00:14:46,752 --> 00:14:49,722
for the Johnson family.
490
00:14:49,722 --> 00:14:50,022
You know,
491
00:14:50,022 --> 00:14:51,590
we had our first granddaughter,
492
00:14:51,590 --> 00:14:52,658
Charlotte.
493
00:14:52,691 --> 00:14:55,561
Well, yeah, my youngest kid, Rebecca,
494
00:14:56,328 --> 00:14:58,230
had our first granddaughter,
495
00:14:58,230 --> 00:14:59,131
baby Charlotte.
496
00:14:59,131 --> 00:15:00,699
I, I think we might even
497
00:15:00,699 --> 00:15:02,334
put up a picture of her
498
00:15:02,334 --> 00:15:04,103
if not, I'll send a picture in, but.
499
00:15:04,103 --> 00:15:07,206
Oh, my God. She is just
500
00:15:07,273 --> 00:15:09,241
she is just an amazing,
501
00:15:09,241 --> 00:15:10,409
adorable little girl
502
00:15:10,409 --> 00:15:13,112
who all she does is just laugh and smile.
503
00:15:13,112 --> 00:15:14,313
It's crazy.
504
00:15:14,413 --> 00:15:15,481
That's nice. It's crazy.
505
00:15:15,481 --> 00:15:16,949
Every time she's over here,
506
00:15:16,949 --> 00:15:17,917
you never hear her crying.
507
00:15:17,917 --> 00:15:19,218
She's always just smiling.
508
00:15:19,218 --> 00:15:21,020
And and her
509
00:15:21,020 --> 00:15:23,389
her cousins, all the grandsons just,
510
00:15:23,956 --> 00:15:24,690
you know, fight over
511
00:15:24,690 --> 00:15:26,058
who's going to hold her.
512
00:15:26,058 --> 00:15:28,160
So that's been pretty cool.
513
00:15:28,527 --> 00:15:29,862
This this Christmas
514
00:15:29,862 --> 00:15:31,730
should be a lot of fun
515
00:15:31,730 --> 00:15:33,499
having the first granddaughter.
516
00:15:33,499 --> 00:15:34,733
You know, she's still kind of young.
517
00:15:34,733 --> 00:15:36,402
I think she's only about six months old.
518
00:15:36,402 --> 00:15:38,070
So, you know, she's not going to do much.
519
00:15:38,070 --> 00:15:39,905
But. Right, right. Well.
520
00:15:39,905 --> 00:15:41,140
Smile at everybody
521
00:15:41,140 --> 00:15:43,842
that maybe everybody melts, you know?
522
00:15:44,343 --> 00:15:45,444
Nice. That's cool, man.
523
00:15:45,444 --> 00:15:49,515
Congratulations on that, too.
524
00:15:49,515 --> 00:15:51,650
Thank you. Yes. What about you?
525
00:15:53,052 --> 00:15:53,652
What about you?
526
00:15:53,652 --> 00:15:54,153
Any.
527
00:15:55,654 --> 00:15:56,388
Actually, I've.
528
00:15:56,388 --> 00:15:57,823
I've met a new brother,
529
00:15:57,823 --> 00:15:59,758
a brother I never knew existed.
530
00:15:59,758 --> 00:16:00,926
Oh, that's right.
531
00:16:00,926 --> 00:16:02,061
The English song.
532
00:16:02,061 --> 00:16:02,628
Yes.
533
00:16:02,628 --> 00:16:04,863
So I have a new brother and a new sister
534
00:16:05,397 --> 00:16:06,799
that we didn't know existed.
535
00:16:06,799 --> 00:16:08,167
And it
536
00:16:08,167 --> 00:16:10,402
actually could not have been any better.
537
00:16:10,402 --> 00:16:11,704
They're just very nice people.
538
00:16:11,704 --> 00:16:13,872
Very, very nice people, man.
539
00:16:13,872 --> 00:16:15,541
And we're going to meet with them
540
00:16:15,541 --> 00:16:16,442
several times more.
541
00:16:16,442 --> 00:16:17,710
So yeah.
542
00:16:17,710 --> 00:16:21,380
So, yep.
543
00:16:21,380 --> 00:16:22,848
I lost a really dear friend.
544
00:16:22,848 --> 00:16:25,284
I a very good,
545
00:16:25,284 --> 00:16:26,151
very good friend
546
00:16:26,151 --> 00:16:27,586
and a very good floor guy.
547
00:16:27,586 --> 00:16:29,254
I'll never be able to
548
00:16:29,254 --> 00:16:30,956
to visit a certain bar in Nashville
549
00:16:30,956 --> 00:16:32,458
without thinking about this guy.
550
00:16:32,458 --> 00:16:34,960
He was a we were very close and
551
00:16:36,095 --> 00:16:37,896
he died of cancer this year.
552
00:16:37,896 --> 00:16:39,631
And he was a super good guy.
553
00:16:39,631 --> 00:16:42,835
And a great craftsman and a young guy.
554
00:16:42,935 --> 00:16:43,902
Young guy,
555
00:16:43,902 --> 00:16:45,371
you know, he's in his fifties,
556
00:16:45,371 --> 00:16:46,772
so early fifties.
557
00:16:46,772 --> 00:16:48,841
So that was sad to see that. So
558
00:16:51,410 --> 00:16:52,177
and
559
00:16:52,945 --> 00:16:54,513
what else.
560
00:16:55,381 --> 00:16:58,017
I don't think that's the.
561
00:16:58,017 --> 00:16:59,685
Highlight of the year.
562
00:16:59,685 --> 00:17:01,120
No new cats.
563
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:02,087
No new cats.
564
00:17:02,087 --> 00:17:03,889
When when you know
565
00:17:03,889 --> 00:17:06,625
I still got the two strays.
566
00:17:06,625 --> 00:17:08,327
When you don't have any any kids, it's,
567
00:17:08,327 --> 00:17:09,661

00:17:12,998 --> 00:17:13,899

00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:15,901
But I'm telling you, you know what?
573
00:17:15,901 --> 00:17:17,403
That's not a bad thing.
574
00:17:17,403 --> 00:17:18,871
No change sometimes is just fine.
575
00:17:18,871 --> 00:17:22,408
I have no complaints, man.
576
00:17:22,408 --> 00:17:23,242
I saw the woods.
577
00:17:23,242 --> 00:17:25,044
I want to give a shout out to wood.
578
00:17:25,044 --> 00:17:26,745
Wood floor business.
579
00:17:26,745 --> 00:17:28,480

They do a great job
586
00:17:41,193 --> 00:17:42,494
with this magazine, by the way.
587
00:17:42,494 --> 00:17:44,863
You give them a shout out for that.
588
00:17:44,863 --> 00:17:45,898
And in the magazine,
589
00:17:45,898 --> 00:17:48,400
I see some of the questions they have,
590
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,436
you know, in the survey.
591
00:17:50,436 --> 00:17:52,905
And one of them caught my attention here.

00:17:53,605 --> 00:17:55,240

00:18:24,770 --> 00:18:26,138

00:18:34,580 --> 00:18:38,250
7%.
611
00:18:38,250 --> 00:18:39,284
Yeah.
612
00:18:39,852 --> 00:18:41,587
That's pretty high.
613
00:18:42,387 --> 00:18:43,155
Is it.
614
00:18:43,322 --> 00:18:44,756
Like that? Yeah.
615
00:18:44,756 --> 00:18:46,225
I mean, graduate guy.
616
00:18:46,225 --> 00:18:48,961
Yeah, I guess so. Huh.
617
00:18:48,961 --> 00:18:50,162
And this what I thought was interesting.
618
00:18:50,162 --> 00:18:50,629
How many
619
00:18:50,629 --> 00:18:51,497
how many years
620
00:18:51,497 --> 00:18:54,366
you been in the wood flooring industry?
621
00:18:54,466 --> 00:18:56,101
7% in five years or less.
622
00:18:56,101 --> 00:18:58,770
13%. 6 to 10 years.
623
00:18:58,770 --> 00:19:00,672
But here's what got me.
624
00:19:00,672 --> 00:19:03,775
The 15% is 16 to 20 years
625
00:19:03,775 --> 00:19:07,312
and 59%, 21 plus years.
626
00:19:07,312 --> 00:19:08,580
So, wow,
627
00:19:08,580 --> 00:19:10,749
59% of the people in our trade
628
00:19:10,749 --> 00:19:13,152
have been in business 21 years or more
629
00:19:13,952 --> 00:19:16,455
and 15%, 16 to 20 years.
630
00:19:17,422 --> 00:19:18,490
So that that's eight.
631
00:19:18,490 --> 00:19:20,659
So 59% plus 15%.
632
00:19:21,226 --> 00:19:22,361
You can do the Robinette
633
00:19:22,361 --> 00:19:23,495
the math on that Rob
634
00:19:23,495 --> 00:19:24,630
is pretty close to seven you can.
635
00:19:24,630 --> 00:19:26,798
Do the math. The rub on that math. Yeah.

00:19:41,847 --> 00:19:44,216
Nine and in 15.

00:19:45,584 --> 00:19:47,519
So so 74%.
645
00:19:47,519 --> 00:19:49,922
I know your wheels are turning.
646
00:19:49,922 --> 00:19:51,790
74% have been in the business

Okay, so 74% have been around for over

00:20:07,839 --> 00:20:09,341
15 years. Yeah.

Again, 16 years
657
00:20:15,414 --> 00:20:17,583
it was 16 to 20.
658
00:20:17,583 --> 00:20:19,618
Look, you guys want to do this on Friday
659
00:20:19,618 --> 00:20:21,954

00:20:34,099 --> 00:20:35,334
even further for you.
667
00:20:35,334 --> 00:20:37,035
There's some old dudes out here

00:20:38,937 --> 00:20:41,506
From 0 to 29 years old
670
00:20:41,506 --> 00:20:44,610
represents 8% of our industry.
671
00:20:44,610 --> 00:20:47,312
I haven't seen a zero year old yet.
672
00:20:47,312 --> 00:20:49,014
They can run a sander.
673
00:20:49,014 --> 00:20:51,817
But a 32 can run a power drive.
674
00:20:52,217 --> 00:20:55,921
70% of of of the people
675
00:20:55,921 --> 00:20:59,258
are 3239 years old, 40 to 49
676
00:21:00,792 --> 00:21:03,195
or 19% is 40 to 49 years old.
677
00:21:04,096 --> 00:21:08,066
50 19% also is 50 to 59 years old.
678
00:21:08,934 --> 00:21:09,334
Okay.

19%, 25% of the industry is 60 to
680
00:21:13,272 --> 00:21:14,072
69 years old.
681
00:21:16,108 --> 00:21:17,509
Oh.

This is a lot of people, man, 11, 11%
683
00:21:21,813 --> 00:21:25,183

00:21:25,684 --> 00:21:26,618
and kidding me.
685
00:21:26,618 --> 00:21:28,754
And God bless the next group.
686
00:21:28,987 --> 00:21:33,892
70, 79%, 70 to 79 is 11%.
687
00:21:34,526 --> 00:21:36,295
Makes up one out of ten.
688
00:21:36,295 --> 00:21:38,730
Sanders is over 70 years old.
689
00:21:39,231 --> 00:21:39,531
Yeah.
690
00:21:39,531 --> 00:21:42,768
Oh, my God.
691
00:21:42,868 --> 00:21:44,236
Well, like I said, God
692
00:21:44,236 --> 00:21:46,605
bless this next group, 80 to 89,
693
00:21:47,606 --> 00:21:49,274
there's 2%.
694
00:21:49,741 --> 00:21:52,444
Oh, man, they're there.
695
00:21:52,744 --> 00:21:53,512
They should walk in.
696
00:21:53,512 --> 00:21:55,847
Any any floor distributor, anywhere.
697
00:21:56,181 --> 00:21:57,382
Everybody should move out of their way,
698
00:21:57,382 --> 00:21:59,251
like John Wayne moving into a saloon.
699
00:21:59,251 --> 00:22:00,452
And I can guarantee
700
00:22:00,452 --> 00:22:02,921
now one of those 80 year olds
701
00:22:02,921 --> 00:22:04,423
is listening to this show.
702
00:22:04,423 --> 00:22:05,390
Not oh, they can.
703
00:22:05,390 --> 00:22:06,525
They can't hear it.
704
00:22:06,525 --> 00:22:08,593
Right? Yeah.
705
00:22:08,593 --> 00:22:10,862
And if anybody knows these guys,
706
00:22:11,463 --> 00:22:13,598
please have him call us.
707
00:22:13,598 --> 00:22:14,766
We want him on the show.
708
00:22:14,766 --> 00:22:15,834
We want to talk to him.
709
00:22:15,834 --> 00:22:16,968
You better do a quick
710
00:22:19,504 --> 00:22:20,906
80 to 89.
711
00:22:20,906 --> 00:22:23,141
Yeah. You're not promised.
712
00:22:23,141 --> 00:22:25,911
The next day, we.
713
00:22:25,977 --> 00:22:27,346
Said the oldest.
714
00:22:27,346 --> 00:22:27,713
I think
715
00:22:27,713 --> 00:22:28,347
one of the oldest
716
00:22:28,347 --> 00:22:30,115
guys I ever had a class.
717
00:22:30,115 --> 00:22:31,383
Oh, man.
718
00:22:31,483 --> 00:22:34,453
I got to find out his name from Jeremiah.
719
00:22:34,453 --> 00:22:36,955
Old guy from Nashville.
720
00:22:36,955 --> 00:22:40,158
He was just he was a crack up.
721
00:22:40,158 --> 00:22:41,360
I mean, he just had
722
00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:43,028
everybody in stitches laughing.
723
00:22:43,028 --> 00:22:43,528
And, you know,
724
00:22:43,528 --> 00:22:44,096
as I'm going
725
00:22:44,096 --> 00:22:45,864
through the PowerPoint, like,
726
00:22:45,864 --> 00:22:47,265
you know, one thing I had said
727
00:22:47,265 --> 00:22:48,867
is, you know, when I'm
728
00:22:48,867 --> 00:22:51,136
doing the PowerPoint stuff,
729
00:22:52,137 --> 00:22:53,238
I go through, you know,
730
00:22:53,238 --> 00:22:53,972
maybe shouldn't
731
00:22:53,972 --> 00:22:56,007
we use an elevator clips anymore?
732
00:22:56,007 --> 00:22:57,175
And, you know,
733
00:22:57,175 --> 00:22:58,410
they're kind of dangerous
734
00:22:58,410 --> 00:23:00,379
and this that and this old timer,
735
00:23:00,379 --> 00:23:02,914
he goes, Do you think that's dangerous?
736
00:23:04,015 --> 00:23:06,418
My dad used to make me climb up the pole,
737
00:23:06,418 --> 00:23:07,319
and we would
738
00:23:07,319 --> 00:23:09,221
I'd have to hook into the telephone
739
00:23:09,221 --> 00:23:10,088
pole wires.
740
00:23:10,088 --> 00:23:10,822
And he goes,
741
00:23:10,822 --> 00:23:12,958
I'm only doing that one time.
742
00:23:12,958 --> 00:23:14,493
And it was really fun
743
00:23:14,493 --> 00:23:15,727
to have him because,
744
00:23:15,727 --> 00:23:17,028
you know, I'm talking about belts.
745
00:23:17,028 --> 00:23:19,131
Anders And then he was going back,
746
00:23:19,231 --> 00:23:20,866
you know, the chain driven.
747
00:23:20,866 --> 00:23:22,501
Sanders, you know,
748
00:23:22,501 --> 00:23:25,303
so he was a black, he was a blast.
749
00:23:25,303 --> 00:23:28,407
And he had an older guy with him
750
00:23:28,407 --> 00:23:30,809
that was like his sidekick.
751
00:23:30,976 --> 00:23:31,443
You know,
752
00:23:32,511 --> 00:23:34,146
they really never moved.
753
00:23:34,146 --> 00:23:35,514
They, you know, every once in a while
754
00:23:35,514 --> 00:23:36,481
I say, hey, you know,
755
00:23:36,481 --> 00:23:37,749
you want to try that guy?
756
00:23:37,749 --> 00:23:39,451
No, my gosh, no, no.
757
00:23:39,451 --> 00:23:40,585
Why would I want it?
758
00:23:40,585 --> 00:23:44,623
Why would I want to do that?
759
00:23:44,623 --> 00:23:45,023
He goes,
760
00:23:45,023 --> 00:23:46,324
I'm really just here to
761
00:23:46,324 --> 00:23:46,958
you know,
762
00:23:46,958 --> 00:23:49,060
I heard about these bonus goals and
763
00:23:49,728 --> 00:23:50,962
I just want to see what you kids
764
00:23:50,962 --> 00:23:53,865
are doing nowadays. And it was so funny.
765
00:23:53,899 --> 00:23:55,834
I mean, he was like
766
00:23:55,834 --> 00:23:58,437
he was like a walk in history book and.
767
00:24:00,839 --> 00:24:01,473
If he.
768
00:24:01,473 --> 00:24:04,509
Say things to me like, you know,
769
00:24:04,643 --> 00:24:06,645
you're kind of in a hole, but I like you.
770
00:24:06,645 --> 00:24:06,878
You know,
771
00:24:06,878 --> 00:24:08,814
I don't like anybody from the north.
772
00:24:08,814 --> 00:24:09,214
You know,
773
00:24:09,214 --> 00:24:11,283
I don't like any you northerners.
774
00:24:11,283 --> 00:24:12,217
But for an A-hole,
775
00:24:12,217 --> 00:24:14,586
you're a pretty good guy, you know? Yeah.
776
00:24:14,586 --> 00:24:15,120
Oh, my.
777
00:24:16,154 --> 00:24:17,189
So I bet
778
00:24:17,189 --> 00:24:18,089
he he had to
779
00:24:18,089 --> 00:24:19,357
be one of those guys
780
00:24:19,357 --> 00:24:21,092
who was up there, but.
781
00:24:21,092 --> 00:24:22,461
Oh, my God, he was
782
00:24:22,461 --> 00:24:24,062
he was a pleasure to have in the class.
783
00:24:24,062 --> 00:24:26,298
So he was he was a crackup.
784
00:24:26,298 --> 00:24:28,366
It's a small, small percentage, man.
785
00:24:28,366 --> 00:24:30,435
2%. That's a it's elite company.
786
00:24:30,769 --> 00:24:32,237
80 to 89.
787
00:24:32,237 --> 00:24:36,041
2% of our workforce is over 80 years old.
788
00:24:36,241 --> 00:24:37,075
Yep.
789
00:24:37,809 --> 00:24:39,478
You know, that's that's nice.
790
00:24:39,478 --> 00:24:40,111
But
791
00:24:40,812 --> 00:24:43,582
that one out of ten that's over 70.
792
00:24:44,483 --> 00:24:45,183
Yeah.
793
00:24:46,518 --> 00:24:47,319
That's.
794
00:24:47,319 --> 00:24:48,420
That's something.
795
00:24:48,420 --> 00:24:50,088
Yeah, that's that's impressive, man.
796
00:24:50,088 --> 00:24:51,790
To last that long.
797
00:24:51,790 --> 00:24:53,124
You know what I mean?
798
00:24:53,391 --> 00:24:55,360
That's a that's saying something.
799
00:24:55,360 --> 00:24:57,262
Yeah.
800
00:24:57,262 --> 00:24:59,731
I mean, this takes a toll on you.
801
00:24:59,731 --> 00:25:00,665
You think.
802
00:25:00,665 --> 00:25:04,736
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
803
00:25:04,736 --> 00:25:08,940
I wonder if they take vitamins, you know?
804
00:25:08,974 --> 00:25:10,842
You know what the hell they're taking.
805
00:25:10,842 --> 00:25:11,977
Yeah, but they don't.
806
00:25:13,345 --> 00:25:15,313
All right, this one surprised me.
807
00:25:15,313 --> 00:25:16,715
Do you require your employees
808
00:25:16,715 --> 00:25:19,818
wear safety equipment?
809
00:25:19,818 --> 00:25:21,253
I already gave you the answer to this.
810
00:25:21,253 --> 00:25:22,888
81% said yes.
811
00:25:22,888 --> 00:25:25,123
19% said no.
812
00:25:25,123 --> 00:25:25,924
I'm actually shocked
813
00:25:25,924 --> 00:25:28,260
that it's not the other way around
814
00:25:28,260 --> 00:25:29,995
because it was in our day.
815
00:25:29,995 --> 00:25:31,663
It would have been completely
816
00:25:31,663 --> 00:25:33,098
the other way around.
817
00:25:33,131 --> 00:25:33,965
We never were safety.
818
00:25:33,965 --> 00:25:35,267
Nobody wore safety equipment
819
00:25:35,267 --> 00:25:36,601
back in the day.
820
00:25:36,601 --> 00:25:38,003
I mean, yours. Yeah. Yeah.
821
00:25:38,003 --> 00:25:39,504
You were frowned on
822
00:25:39,504 --> 00:25:41,339
if you were safety equipment.
823
00:25:41,339 --> 00:25:42,107
So.
824
00:25:42,807 --> 00:25:45,010
And 85%
825
00:25:45,777 --> 00:25:47,546
of what they wear is hearing protection.
826
00:25:47,546 --> 00:25:49,214
And I'm glad to hear that,
827
00:25:49,214 --> 00:25:52,617
no pun intended,
828
00:25:52,617 --> 00:25:53,985
as 2% don't use
829
00:25:53,985 --> 00:25:57,122
any safety equipment at all.
830
00:25:57,122 --> 00:25:58,456
I'd like to.
831
00:25:58,456 --> 00:26:00,225
Know hearing protection.
832
00:26:00,225 --> 00:26:02,394
I actually like to meet them.
833
00:26:02,994 --> 00:26:03,695
Yeah.
834
00:26:04,195 --> 00:26:04,796
So no
835
00:26:04,796 --> 00:26:06,164
hearing protection or need protection
836
00:26:06,164 --> 00:26:07,132
or anything like that.
837
00:26:07,132 --> 00:26:07,766
They're not going to be
838
00:26:07,766 --> 00:26:12,304
in that 80 to 89 year old group.
839
00:26:12,304 --> 00:26:13,471
I don't think they're going to make
840
00:26:13,471 --> 00:26:14,673
make it that long.
841
00:26:15,974 --> 00:26:17,842
You got to wear it.
842
00:26:17,842 --> 00:26:18,743
And
843
00:26:19,477 --> 00:26:20,946
I've really been pushing it
844
00:26:20,946 --> 00:26:22,681
at the past couple schools.
845
00:26:22,681 --> 00:26:25,083
You got to wear eye protection.
846
00:26:25,083 --> 00:26:25,817
Yeah.
847
00:26:25,951 --> 00:26:26,718
You got
848
00:26:26,718 --> 00:26:27,252
you got to
849
00:26:27,252 --> 00:26:28,920
I mean, gloves and respirators
850
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,622
and all that. But yeah, yeah, yeah.
851
00:26:30,622 --> 00:26:31,623
You know, the thing
852
00:26:31,623 --> 00:26:32,290
that,
853
00:26:32,857 --> 00:26:34,292
you know, I think going through
854
00:26:34,292 --> 00:26:38,563
I stuff all year long you know and
855
00:26:39,931 --> 00:26:40,765
you know when I
856
00:26:40,765 --> 00:26:41,366
one of my eyes
857
00:26:41,366 --> 00:26:42,734
is much better than the other.
858
00:26:42,734 --> 00:26:43,201
And I
859
00:26:43,201 --> 00:26:44,869
you know, I was thinking,
860
00:26:44,936 --> 00:26:46,571
man, if something happens to the good.
861
00:26:46,571 --> 00:26:49,107
I. That's it.
862
00:26:49,107 --> 00:26:50,942
I'm done. Yeah, yeah.
863
00:26:50,942 --> 00:26:53,912
So, okay, so I've been really,
864
00:26:54,813 --> 00:26:57,282
really pushing the eye protection lately.
865
00:26:57,282 --> 00:26:58,049
Okay.
866
00:26:58,049 --> 00:26:59,117
In all seriousness,
867
00:26:59,117 --> 00:26:59,884
there is a vitamin
868
00:26:59,884 --> 00:27:01,886
you can take for your eye, okay?
869
00:27:01,886 --> 00:27:03,388
And I'm I'm being dead serious.
870
00:27:03,388 --> 00:27:04,823
I I'll.
871
00:27:04,823 --> 00:27:05,790
I'll find out
872
00:27:05,790 --> 00:27:07,859
and even I'll share it with you. Okay?
873
00:27:07,859 --> 00:27:08,593
It's supposed to be really good
874
00:27:08,593 --> 00:27:09,594
for your eyes.
875
00:27:09,594 --> 00:27:11,763
I think Pauline has me take.
876
00:27:12,030 --> 00:27:12,931
I think it's fish
877
00:27:12,931 --> 00:27:14,733
oil or something like that.
878
00:27:14,733 --> 00:27:16,201
Okay, this is not fish oil,
879
00:27:16,201 --> 00:27:17,869
but you can use fish oil.
880
00:27:17,869 --> 00:27:20,305
I can send you fish oil.
881
00:27:20,305 --> 00:27:20,972
So this
882
00:27:20,972 --> 00:27:22,607
this show is really just loaded
883
00:27:22,607 --> 00:27:23,775
with lots of questions
884
00:27:23,775 --> 00:27:24,909
that we're going to answer
885
00:27:24,909 --> 00:27:26,044
later on down the road.
886
00:27:26,044 --> 00:27:27,512
It's kind of like a year in review.
887
00:27:28,513 --> 00:27:29,247
Yeah.
888
00:27:29,247 --> 00:27:31,783
Yeah.
889
00:27:31,783 --> 00:27:33,718
Moisture meters.
890
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:35,620
2% of the people in the industry
891
00:27:35,620 --> 00:27:38,023
don't use moisture meters
892
00:27:38,523 --> 00:27:40,692
98 and 98% said they do.
893
00:27:41,092 --> 00:27:42,027
Yeah, I know.
894
00:27:42,027 --> 00:27:44,763
You know what? Of that 98%,
895
00:27:44,763 --> 00:27:46,898
I think 70% of telling the truth.
896
00:27:48,366 --> 00:27:50,735
I know that this is anonymous,
897
00:27:50,735 --> 00:27:53,238
but but I've lied in anonymous surveys
898
00:27:53,238 --> 00:27:58,410
both before.
899
00:27:58,410 --> 00:28:00,712
I've I've had, you know, where it says
900
00:28:01,046 --> 00:28:02,614
like a vacation package or whatever,
901
00:28:02,614 --> 00:28:04,716
and it'll say how much money, what,
902
00:28:04,716 --> 00:28:06,685
what raises your income in.
903
00:28:06,685 --> 00:28:08,653
I've always wanted up to the highest.
904
00:28:08,653 --> 00:28:10,922
Okay. And and for what?
905
00:28:11,256 --> 00:28:14,426
For what to people that there's no way.
906
00:28:14,793 --> 00:28:16,161
You know what I mean? They don't know me.
907
00:28:16,161 --> 00:28:18,363
I don't know them, but they don't know.
908
00:28:18,797 --> 00:28:20,331
So in anonymous questionnaires,
909
00:28:20,331 --> 00:28:22,500
you'll lie on an anonymous watch?
910
00:28:22,500 --> 00:28:25,403
Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely.
911
00:28:25,403 --> 00:28:27,872
Just to screw the rest of us up. Yeah.
912
00:28:29,774 --> 00:28:30,408
All right.
913
00:28:30,408 --> 00:28:31,309
What else?
914
00:28:31,309 --> 00:28:32,110
Cleaning staples.
915
00:28:32,110 --> 00:28:33,511
Who cares
916
00:28:34,145 --> 00:28:35,146
how you play stain?
917
00:28:35,146 --> 00:28:36,781
Who cares.
918
00:28:38,216 --> 00:28:38,783
You?
919
00:28:39,050 --> 00:28:39,818
What was a
920
00:28:39,818 --> 00:28:41,386
go back to the cleats and staples?
921
00:28:41,386 --> 00:28:42,620
What was the number on that?
922
00:28:42,620 --> 00:28:44,656
I'm not even going to tell you
923
00:28:45,023 --> 00:28:46,191
what I will tell you.
924
00:28:46,191 --> 00:28:47,125
I'm so sick of that.
925
00:28:47,125 --> 00:28:48,660
I'm so sick of that debate.
926
00:28:48,660 --> 00:28:50,929
Yeah, that's why I'm wondering.
927
00:28:50,929 --> 00:28:51,329
That's why
928
00:28:51,329 --> 00:28:54,065
I'm wondering because two schools ago,
929
00:28:54,065 --> 00:28:55,800
two guys got into it.
930
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,937
What was better cleats or staples?
931
00:28:58,937 --> 00:29:02,674
They're both wrong.
932
00:29:02,674 --> 00:29:03,475
Okay.
933
00:29:03,475 --> 00:29:04,943
If they got into it.
934
00:29:04,943 --> 00:29:07,612
It Jesus, it is the right answer.
935
00:29:07,645 --> 00:29:08,747
That's right.
936
00:29:08,747 --> 00:29:09,514
Yes.
937
00:29:09,848 --> 00:29:12,751
52% said cleats, 48% said Staples.
938
00:29:12,817 --> 00:29:13,718
Oh, my gosh.
939
00:29:13,718 --> 00:29:14,786
That's like Republicans
940
00:29:14,786 --> 00:29:16,221
and Democrats, right?
941
00:29:16,221 --> 00:29:18,690
It's a split. Yes.
942
00:29:18,690 --> 00:29:21,259
All right.
943
00:29:21,259 --> 00:29:23,661
What about you personally?
944
00:29:24,062 --> 00:29:26,498
I don't it doesn't matter.
945
00:29:26,798 --> 00:29:27,632
It depends. On.
946
00:29:27,632 --> 00:29:28,733
Where we me.
947
00:29:29,901 --> 00:29:30,301
For.
948
00:29:30,301 --> 00:29:31,636
The year.
949
00:29:31,636 --> 00:29:32,437
Okay.
950
00:29:32,437 --> 00:29:33,371
Would you use
951
00:29:33,371 --> 00:29:34,906
when you were kneeling up for the year,
952
00:29:34,906 --> 00:29:35,740
would you use.
953
00:29:35,740 --> 00:29:36,641
Oh, that's all good then.
954
00:29:36,641 --> 00:29:37,709
You know that the whole floor
955
00:29:37,709 --> 00:29:38,543
go down well.
956
00:29:38,543 --> 00:29:40,178
Oh there was no kneeling at all.
957
00:29:40,178 --> 00:29:41,212
There's not a single kneel.
958
00:29:41,212 --> 00:29:41,846
There's no where
959
00:29:41,846 --> 00:29:43,581
would I put a nail in that job.
960
00:29:43,581 --> 00:29:47,685
There's no there's not, there's none.
961
00:29:47,685 --> 00:29:48,153
I've said
962
00:29:48,153 --> 00:29:50,321
before it depends on the situation.
963
00:29:50,321 --> 00:29:51,022
If I'm on
964
00:29:51,022 --> 00:29:52,524
if I'm on OSB, I'm
965
00:29:52,524 --> 00:29:54,325
going to use a staple gun.
966
00:29:54,325 --> 00:29:56,094
If I'm on a regular plywood, I'm
967
00:29:56,094 --> 00:29:57,962
going to use cleats.
968
00:29:58,630 --> 00:30:00,165
And just based on my
969
00:30:00,165 --> 00:30:01,733
my experience doing insurance work,
970
00:30:01,733 --> 00:30:03,334
doing tear outs,
971
00:30:03,334 --> 00:30:06,204
you tear out a floor on OSB with cleats
972
00:30:06,204 --> 00:30:09,507
and it comes right out like make nothing.
973
00:30:09,507 --> 00:30:11,376
It just is too easy to take it out.
974
00:30:11,376 --> 00:30:12,977
So that's the.
975
00:30:12,977 --> 00:30:14,846
Order here, everybody. That's it.
976
00:30:14,846 --> 00:30:15,980
We're going to win the Highlander
977
00:30:15,980 --> 00:30:17,015
method here.
978
00:30:17,015 --> 00:30:18,850
We're going to go both now.
979
00:30:18,850 --> 00:30:19,384
And if I
980
00:30:19,384 --> 00:30:21,152
you know, again, if I lived in Florida,
981
00:30:21,152 --> 00:30:22,520
I'd be using cleats.
982
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:23,588
I mean, you know,
983
00:30:23,822 --> 00:30:26,491
it's just depends on the situation.
984
00:30:26,491 --> 00:30:27,292
So.
985
00:30:27,292 --> 00:30:29,394
Well, there's a lot of OSB out there,
986
00:30:29,394 --> 00:30:30,829
so I'm going to side with you
987
00:30:30,829 --> 00:30:33,298
with the staple thing. Okay.
988
00:30:33,298 --> 00:30:35,934
And then the rest of the survey
989
00:30:37,502 --> 00:30:38,837
doesn't matter.
990
00:30:39,904 --> 00:30:42,440
We got to we had the most important ones,
991
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:48,546
roller T-bar.
992
00:30:48,546 --> 00:30:49,414
You want to know?
993
00:30:49,414 --> 00:30:50,181
I'm going to say
994
00:30:50,181 --> 00:30:52,684
one is 46% and one is 41%.
995
00:30:53,885 --> 00:30:55,954
41, it's got to be T-bar.
996
00:30:56,888 --> 00:30:57,722
Nope,
997
00:30:58,389 --> 00:31:00,792
46% still holding strong.
998
00:31:00,792 --> 00:31:03,761
T-bar is still higher than roller.
999
00:31:04,128 --> 00:31:05,997
Yeah. And 35.
1000
00:31:05,997 --> 00:31:06,931
Now.
1001
00:31:06,931 --> 00:31:09,267
13% is other.
1002
00:31:10,201 --> 00:31:11,636
Yeah. So.
1003
00:31:11,636 --> 00:31:12,570
All right.
1004
00:31:13,338 --> 00:31:14,472
I just thought that was interesting,
1005
00:31:14,472 --> 00:31:16,541
especially the age groups
1006
00:31:16,541 --> 00:31:18,776
that are in there represented and that.
1007
00:31:19,143 --> 00:31:22,347
That T-bar roller one
1008
00:31:22,580 --> 00:31:23,648
that surprises me
1009
00:31:23,648 --> 00:31:25,950
I thought of the way higher on roller.
1010
00:31:27,752 --> 00:31:29,821
Well you know it's only
1011
00:31:29,821 --> 00:31:30,588
been in the last few
1012
00:31:30,588 --> 00:31:32,490
this is only been in the last
1013
00:31:32,490 --> 00:31:33,291
five years
1014
00:31:33,291 --> 00:31:35,326
and it's really, really taken off.
1015
00:31:35,326 --> 00:31:35,727
Well,
1016
00:31:35,727 --> 00:31:36,227
when you look
1017
00:31:36,227 --> 00:31:37,562
at the average age of the floor,
1018
00:31:37,562 --> 00:31:38,630
guys, you're right. Yeah.
1019
00:31:38,630 --> 00:31:40,298
Yeah, most of us were
1020
00:31:41,466 --> 00:31:43,768
most of us went from
1021
00:31:43,801 --> 00:31:45,937
Lamb's wool to the tea bar.
1022
00:31:45,937 --> 00:31:48,206
Yeah, yeah, right.
1023
00:31:48,573 --> 00:31:49,307
Yeah.
1024
00:31:49,307 --> 00:31:50,909
I remember when you were
1025
00:31:50,909 --> 00:31:54,345
you have nothing to do with the roller.
1026
00:31:54,345 --> 00:31:55,980
You were dead set against it.
1027
00:31:55,980 --> 00:31:56,781
Yeah.
1028
00:31:58,016 --> 00:31:59,117
What do you. What do you.
1029
00:31:59,117 --> 00:32:00,084
What do you.
1030
00:32:00,084 --> 00:32:01,519
What are you getting Judy for Christmas?
1031
00:32:01,519 --> 00:32:02,220
Anything.
1032
00:32:02,220 --> 00:32:04,355
I know you're not a gift guy, but,
1033
00:32:04,355 --> 00:32:07,558
you know, did you have anything
1034
00:32:07,558 --> 00:32:09,827
your eye on for a surprise?
1035
00:32:09,827 --> 00:32:14,232
No.
1036
00:32:14,232 --> 00:32:18,303
Nothing.
1037
00:32:18,303 --> 00:32:21,306
Oh, yeah. 40 and up.
1038
00:32:21,372 --> 00:32:24,676
He doesn't get me anything.
1039
00:32:24,676 --> 00:32:26,010
But we are buying stuff.
1040
00:32:26,010 --> 00:32:28,112
I know. It's, you
1041
00:32:28,112 --> 00:32:29,113
know, I hate to bring this up.
1042
00:32:29,113 --> 00:32:30,214
This is actually embarrassing,
1043
00:32:30,214 --> 00:32:31,049
but I know if
1044
00:32:31,049 --> 00:32:34,285
you asked me for my address, I look
1045
00:32:34,285 --> 00:32:36,688

1046
00:32:36,688 --> 00:32:38,823
You know I am so don't
1047
00:32:39,590 --> 00:32:40,458
don't feel like you have.
1048
00:32:40,458 --> 00:32:41,826
What do you think? I'm buying you a gift?
1049
00:32:42,794 --> 00:32:44,495
Well, you can ask me for my address.
1050
00:32:44,495 --> 00:32:45,596
At Christmas time.
1051
00:32:45,596 --> 00:32:48,032
Buckle. Oh.
1052
00:32:48,333 --> 00:32:48,766
Good.
1053
00:32:48,766 --> 00:32:49,801
All right.
1054
00:32:50,702 --> 00:32:53,805
You really are a receiver, aren't you?
1055
00:32:53,805 --> 00:32:55,907
Take, take, take, take.
1056
00:32:56,641 --> 00:32:57,709
Because I notice you didn't
1057
00:32:57,709 --> 00:32:59,010
ask me for my address.
1058
00:32:59,010 --> 00:32:59,210
Jeez,
1059
00:32:59,210 --> 00:33:01,446
maybe I'll send him a little something.
1060
00:33:01,446 --> 00:33:03,181
No, I'm not sending you anything.
1061
00:33:03,181 --> 00:33:04,682
It was for the belt buckle.
1062
00:33:04,682 --> 00:33:06,317
Well, what about the pay?
1063
00:33:06,317 --> 00:33:08,319
Yeah, I'll tell her.
1064
00:33:08,319 --> 00:33:10,254
You got to get that payout to him.
1065
00:33:10,254 --> 00:33:12,290
Yeah, I take a slice out of that pie.
1066
00:33:12,290 --> 00:33:14,292
Just so you know.
1067
00:33:14,292 --> 00:33:15,360
You get there first.
1068
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,061
I got. For.
1069
00:33:17,061 --> 00:33:20,131
All right.
1070
00:33:20,131 --> 00:33:20,965
Well.
1071
00:33:21,132 --> 00:33:22,700
All I wanted was my pie.
1072
00:33:22,700 --> 00:33:24,869
But. But don't feel like I know.
1073
00:33:24,869 --> 00:33:26,738
Please don't send me a gift. I know.
1074
00:33:26,738 --> 00:33:27,205
Oh, yeah.
1075
00:33:27,205 --> 00:33:27,972
Dress.
1076
00:33:27,972 --> 00:33:28,539
No, yeah.
1077
00:33:28,539 --> 00:33:30,308
Boy, that belt buckle was in and out.
1078
00:33:30,308 --> 00:33:31,009
Oh, that was
1079
00:33:32,944 --> 00:33:33,144
so.
1080
00:33:33,144 --> 00:33:34,412
Got it right here.
1081
00:33:34,412 --> 00:33:35,313
Right here.
1082
00:33:35,313 --> 00:33:36,180
Look at. That.
1083
00:33:36,180 --> 00:33:37,615
Is, that is beautiful isn't it.
1084
00:33:37,615 --> 00:33:40,051
If anybody could see this on YouTube.
1085
00:33:40,051 --> 00:33:41,452
That is beautiful.
1086
00:33:41,452 --> 00:33:43,154
Yeah, that is something.
1087
00:33:43,154 --> 00:33:44,489
Yes, sir.
1088
00:33:44,789 --> 00:33:46,524
I am not going to fondness
1089
00:33:46,524 --> 00:33:48,226
for something else at all.
1090
00:33:48,226 --> 00:33:49,327
You'll see this
1091
00:33:49,327 --> 00:33:51,029
next time you see me, I'll be wearing it.
1092
00:33:51,029 --> 00:33:51,763
I'm telling you, I'm
1093
00:33:51,763 --> 00:33:53,031
going to kill these belt buckle
1094
00:33:53,031 --> 00:33:54,332
people, though.
1095
00:33:54,332 --> 00:33:58,436
These people.
1096
00:33:58,436 --> 00:34:00,204
So after you've got your belt
1097
00:34:00,204 --> 00:34:02,173
buckle, right?
1098
00:34:02,373 --> 00:34:02,607
Yeah.
1099
00:34:02,607 --> 00:34:04,375
I called these people and was like, hey,
1100
00:34:04,375 --> 00:34:04,609
you know,
1101
00:34:04,609 --> 00:34:06,444
I ordered two more of these belt buckles.
1102
00:34:06,444 --> 00:34:09,480
Yeah. Has come.
1103
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:10,548
And they said, oh,
1104
00:34:10,548 --> 00:34:12,583
we canceled that order.
1105
00:34:12,583 --> 00:34:13,785
Oh, no.
1106
00:34:13,785 --> 00:34:14,852
I said, Well,
1107
00:34:14,852 --> 00:34:16,487
what do you mean he canceled.
1108
00:34:16,487 --> 00:34:17,221
They said, Well,
1109
00:34:17,221 --> 00:34:19,057
we didn't hear back from it. I go,
1110
00:34:20,024 --> 00:34:22,260
Well, what did you want to hear?
1111
00:34:22,260 --> 00:34:23,594
You know, I had the emails.
1112
00:34:23,594 --> 00:34:27,098
I go, Here's, here's the last email.
1113
00:34:27,098 --> 00:34:28,833
I okayed the artwork.
1114
00:34:28,833 --> 00:34:31,502
Here's your deposit. Yeah.
1115
00:34:31,502 --> 00:34:33,438
Oh well
1116
00:34:33,871 --> 00:34:35,206
oh doesn't look like
1117
00:34:35,206 --> 00:34:36,541
no we didn't get that.
1118
00:34:36,541 --> 00:34:37,442
And then we,
1119
00:34:37,442 --> 00:34:38,576
we called this phone
1120
00:34:38,576 --> 00:34:41,612
number 3033862902 and we,
1121
00:34:41,913 --> 00:34:43,214
we never heard anything.
1122
00:34:43,214 --> 00:34:45,616
I go.
1123
00:34:45,616 --> 00:34:46,217
Oh.
1124
00:34:47,118 --> 00:34:48,519
That's just a belt buckles.
1125
00:34:48,519 --> 00:34:49,187
Right.
1126
00:34:49,554 --> 00:34:50,521
You know what.
1127
00:34:50,521 --> 00:34:51,456
What these belt buckles.
1128
00:34:51,456 --> 00:34:53,691
But I really don't like being lied to.
1129
00:34:54,092 --> 00:34:56,894
Yeah, they had the right phone number,
1130
00:34:56,894 --> 00:34:58,663

00:34:58,663 --> 00:35:00,565

1136
00:35:06,370 --> 00:35:09,240
I go, well, you know, I didn't mess up.
1137
00:35:09,240 --> 00:35:09,907
And they go, Oh, no,
1138
00:35:09,907 --> 00:35:10,875

1139
00:35:10,875 --> 00:35:12,977
I go, No, no, you didn't.
1140
00:35:14,278 --> 00:35:15,446
Yeah, didn't.
1141
00:35:15,446 --> 00:35:15,780
You didn't
1142
00:35:15,780 --> 00:35:19,016
contact me until I contacted you again.
1143
00:35:20,118 --> 00:35:22,386
But I get I won't name names.

You should just cancel it.
1148
00:35:31,062 --> 00:35:32,897
No, I want these guys.
1149
00:35:32,897 --> 00:35:34,198
Oh, it's all right.
1150
00:35:34,198 --> 00:35:36,000
Yeah, just. Cancel. It.
1151
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:36,567
You know what?
1152
00:35:36,567 --> 00:35:38,136
They really should only be one.

1164
00:35:55,853 --> 00:35:56,554
All right, well, look,
1165
00:35:56,554 --> 00:35:58,556
this is going to be a short so we
1166
00:35:58,556 --> 00:36:00,191
we really just more than anything
1167
00:36:00,191 --> 00:36:01,592
want to say Merry Christmas and happy
1168
00:36:01,592 --> 00:36:03,528
holidays, everybody. And
1169
00:36:04,862 --> 00:36:05,830

1170
00:36:05,830 --> 00:36:06,464

1171
00:36:06,464 --> 00:36:06,764
I hope

00:36:06,764 --> 00:36:08,266
you have time with your families
1173
00:36:08,266 --> 00:36:09,901
and take some time off.
1174
00:36:09,901 --> 00:36:11,335
And, you know, we never know what
1175
00:36:11,335 --> 00:36:13,971

1176
00:36:15,106 --> 00:36:15,840

00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:16,908
for a lot of guys was
1178
00:36:16,908 --> 00:36:17,642
was a struggle
1179
00:36:17,642 --> 00:36:18,242
with the
1180
00:36:18,242 --> 00:36:19,744
with the shortages
1181
00:36:19,744 --> 00:36:21,913
and all kinds of issues going on.
1182
00:36:22,413 --> 00:36:22,747
Hopefully,
1183
00:36:22,747 --> 00:36:23,381
we allow that
1184
00:36:23,381 --> 00:36:24,815
passed us going in the next year.

00:36:24,815 --> 00:36:26,017

1186
00:36:26,017 --> 00:36:27,685
to a great year next year.
1187
00:36:27,685 --> 00:36:28,386

00:36:45,670 --> 00:36:48,306
We have a lot of Spork guys
1196
00:36:48,339 --> 00:36:49,674

1203
00:36:59,217 --> 00:37:02,520
spork guys, this is tough time of year.
1204
00:37:02,553 --> 00:37:04,355
The holidays are always
1205
00:37:04,355 --> 00:37:05,456
a really tough time of year.
1206
00:37:05,456 --> 00:37:07,692
Thanksgiving, Christmas,
1207
00:37:07,692 --> 00:37:08,492
this is when they have
1208
00:37:08,492 --> 00:37:10,561
to really go out and
1209
00:37:10,561 --> 00:37:11,896
and kick it, you know?
1210
00:37:11,896 --> 00:37:13,698
I mean, they're
1211
00:37:13,698 --> 00:37:13,931
you know,
1212
00:37:13,931 --> 00:37:14,432
a lot of us
1213
00:37:14,432 --> 00:37:15,766
are going to get a Christmas break
1214
00:37:15,766 --> 00:37:17,868
and we get the break around Thanksgiving.
1215
00:37:18,402 --> 00:37:19,036
But I'm
1216
00:37:19,036 --> 00:37:20,671
just giving a shout out to the sport.
1217
00:37:20,671 --> 00:37:21,872
Guys, I feel you
1218
00:37:21,872 --> 00:37:23,674
I know what you have to do
1219
00:37:23,674 --> 00:37:25,843
during these Christmas and holiday breaks
1220
00:37:26,978 --> 00:37:28,779
are like that grizzly in the river,
1221
00:37:28,779 --> 00:37:29,714
you know, the salmon
1222
00:37:29,714 --> 00:37:31,015
and you get an arm load of salmon
1223
00:37:31,015 --> 00:37:32,216
and you get to keep picking them up
1224
00:37:32,216 --> 00:37:32,850
and dropping them
1225
00:37:32,850 --> 00:37:33,851
because
1226
00:37:34,151 --> 00:37:37,121
everybody wants that Christmas Rico
1227
00:37:37,121 --> 00:37:38,823
and everything. So just a shout out.
1228
00:37:38,823 --> 00:37:39,190
I know
1229
00:37:39,190 --> 00:37:40,024
you guys got to
1230
00:37:40,024 --> 00:37:41,959
work through the holidays,
1231
00:37:41,959 --> 00:37:45,096
so, you know, just know that Wayne
1232
00:37:45,096 --> 00:37:46,530
and I and people on the show,
1233
00:37:46,530 --> 00:37:48,366
we all feel for you.
1234
00:37:48,933 --> 00:37:49,967
Yeah, they call Rob.
1235
00:37:49,967 --> 00:37:50,868
And also,
1236
00:37:50,868 --> 00:37:52,470
I like to also think,
1237
00:37:52,470 --> 00:37:55,006
Chris Hayes, that that does our
1238
00:37:55,673 --> 00:37:56,407
our editing
1239
00:37:56,407 --> 00:37:57,141
and all the work
1240
00:37:57,141 --> 00:37:58,376
he does on behalf of the show.
1241
00:37:58,376 --> 00:38:02,580
And I think LeBlanc, who also is
1242
00:38:02,580 --> 00:38:05,883
in charge of the show and word bosses
1243
00:38:05,883 --> 00:38:06,751
being Rob around.
1244
00:38:06,751 --> 00:38:07,952
No she doesn't
1245
00:38:08,185 --> 00:38:09,153
she helps us with the show
1246
00:38:09,153 --> 00:38:11,522
and it does is it's an invaluable service
1247
00:38:11,522 --> 00:38:12,957
that we'd be lost with.
1248
00:38:12,957 --> 00:38:14,191
Well, as face it, we would
1249
00:38:14,191 --> 00:38:14,925
we wouldn't be lost.
1250
00:38:14,925 --> 00:38:16,794
We would just there would be no show.
1251
00:38:16,794 --> 00:38:18,029
We just did really
1252
00:38:18,029 --> 00:38:19,497
just what we used to do.
1253
00:38:19,497 --> 00:38:20,665
Just talking to each other
1254
00:38:20,665 --> 00:38:21,932
when we were driving around.
1255
00:38:21,932 --> 00:38:23,501
Yeah, that's correct. Yeah.
1256
00:38:23,501 --> 00:38:25,369
So is it LeBlanc or LeBlanc?
1257
00:38:26,370 --> 00:38:27,305
All right,
1258
00:38:28,205 --> 00:38:28,806
I'm giving her
1259
00:38:28,806 --> 00:38:30,841
more of a European type of, you know.
1260
00:38:31,342 --> 00:38:32,677
Well, she's from Chicago,
1261
00:38:32,677 --> 00:38:34,812
so I'm sure she pronounce it. LeBlanc.
1262
00:38:35,579 --> 00:38:36,047
What is it?
1263
00:38:36,047 --> 00:38:36,814
I think.
1264
00:38:37,315 --> 00:38:39,884
It's LeBlanc.
1265
00:38:39,884 --> 00:38:41,319
It is LeBlanc.
1266
00:38:41,319 --> 00:38:43,120
Yeah, we've been pronouncing it
1267
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,324
wrong for years, but I can help me.
1268
00:38:46,691 --> 00:38:48,926
Yeah. Yeah, you call me LeBlanc.
1269
00:38:48,926 --> 00:38:52,029
It's LeBlanc, but it's not my.
1270
00:38:53,130 --> 00:38:55,633
I think you interrupt me.
1271
00:38:55,633 --> 00:38:57,301
No.
1272
00:38:57,301 --> 00:39:01,272
Where's my bell?
1273
00:39:01,272 --> 00:39:03,574
Yeah, I know. You call me LeBlanc.
1274
00:39:03,574 --> 00:39:04,742
I do. I thought I said.
1275
00:39:04,742 --> 00:39:05,076
I said.
1276
00:39:05,076 --> 00:39:06,711
I said, LeBlanc, listen to it back.
1277
00:39:06,711 --> 00:39:07,712
I'm pretty sure I did.
1278
00:39:07,712 --> 00:39:08,913
No, this time you did.
1279
00:39:08,913 --> 00:39:10,081
You set it right?
1280
00:39:10,081 --> 00:39:12,083
Yeah, normally, don't you?
1281
00:39:12,083 --> 00:39:14,352
I you know what? I think you're right.
1282
00:39:14,552 --> 00:39:16,620
Why did you say it, LeBlanc?
1283
00:39:16,620 --> 00:39:18,189
I don't know. It hit me all sudden,
1284
00:39:19,423 --> 00:39:20,358
so I don't know.
1285
00:39:20,358 --> 00:39:21,559
But you had a pretty
1286
00:39:21,559 --> 00:39:23,027
we had a pretty good goaltender
1287
00:39:23,027 --> 00:39:23,994
from around here
1288
00:39:23,994 --> 00:39:24,562
where I live,
1289
00:39:24,562 --> 00:39:26,163
in the Capital District
1290
00:39:26,163 --> 00:39:28,232
of Albany, New York area.
1291
00:39:28,232 --> 00:39:30,501
And we had a really good goalie.
1292
00:39:30,501 --> 00:39:32,503
His name was Guy Hebert.
1293
00:39:33,437 --> 00:39:34,305
He went to
1294
00:39:34,305 --> 00:39:37,007
I think he went to Troy High, amazing
1295
00:39:37,007 --> 00:39:39,377
goalie, ended up getting into the
1296
00:39:39,910 --> 00:39:40,845
and everything.
1297
00:39:40,845 --> 00:39:42,880
And once he got into the NHL,
1298
00:39:43,114 --> 00:39:44,582
he he became guy.
1299
00:39:44,582 --> 00:39:47,284
He better it wasn't Guy Hebert anymore.
1300
00:39:47,852 --> 00:39:50,154
It was guy he bear.
1301
00:39:50,154 --> 00:39:51,422
So that's why
1302
00:39:51,422 --> 00:39:54,992
I lean LeBlanc is how you say her name.
1303
00:39:55,226 --> 00:39:56,160
All right.
1304
00:39:57,194 --> 00:39:59,697
So I have a problem with that, actually,
1305
00:39:59,697 --> 00:40:02,933
I've seen I have I have
1306
00:40:03,701 --> 00:40:06,170
I have a relative of Izzy
1307
00:40:06,170 --> 00:40:11,575
that completely changed her name.
1308
00:40:11,575 --> 00:40:13,477
And I don't understand it
1309
00:40:13,477 --> 00:40:15,413
or like, you know, a kid named Rusty
1310
00:40:15,413 --> 00:40:16,680
when he's a kid,
1311
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:17,982
I mean, everybody he's Rusty.
1312
00:40:17,982 --> 00:40:18,482
Where's Rusty?
1313
00:40:18,482 --> 00:40:18,849
Eyeball.
1314
00:40:18,849 --> 00:40:19,917
And then you meet him
1315
00:40:19,917 --> 00:40:20,551
eight years later,
1316
00:40:20,551 --> 00:40:22,520
and he's now he's Charles.
1317
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,855
No, dude, you're rusty.
1318
00:40:24,855 --> 00:40:26,190
You know what I mean?
1319
00:40:26,190 --> 00:40:27,458
If he is where it is, I.
1320
00:40:29,193 --> 00:40:30,895
Went from Rusty to Charles.
1321
00:40:30,895 --> 00:40:32,129
Yeah? Yeah.
1322
00:40:32,129 --> 00:40:36,300
What would your family member go from?
1323
00:40:36,300 --> 00:40:37,268
She'll never satisfied.
1324
00:40:37,268 --> 00:40:39,003
Yes, I don't. Think she ain't listening.
1325
00:40:39,003 --> 00:40:40,404
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1326
00:40:40,404 --> 00:40:43,174
From Tammy to Tamara.
1327
00:40:43,174 --> 00:40:44,608
Oh, come on.
1328
00:40:44,608 --> 00:40:46,110
Yeah, that's really, man.
1329
00:40:46,110 --> 00:40:48,412
Come on. Yeah, but whatever.
1330
00:40:48,446 --> 00:40:49,280
You know,
1331
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:50,848
actually, I had a friend one time.
1332
00:40:50,848 --> 00:40:51,982
We were kids,
1333
00:40:51,982 --> 00:40:53,551
new kid in the neighborhood.
1334
00:40:53,551 --> 00:40:57,154
His name was Rene, and he said,
1335
00:40:57,154 --> 00:40:58,622
But you just call me Ray.
1336
00:40:58,622 --> 00:41:06,430
I said, Nah, it's going to be Rene.
1337
00:41:06,430 --> 00:41:08,599
So he's got to go with initials, I think.
1338
00:41:08,599 --> 00:41:10,334
Go with initials if yeah.
1339
00:41:10,334 --> 00:41:11,268
If you want to get
1340
00:41:11,268 --> 00:41:13,003
get away from that name. Yeah.
1341
00:41:13,003 --> 00:41:13,671
Huh.
1342
00:41:13,671 --> 00:41:16,106
Tamara and Tammy to Tamara.
1343
00:41:16,373 --> 00:41:17,074
Yeah.
1344
00:41:17,274 --> 00:41:19,577
Or maybe it's too many names.
1345
00:41:19,710 --> 00:41:21,912
I have a lot of names.
1346
00:41:22,513 --> 00:41:23,380
Lots of names.
1347
00:41:23,380 --> 00:41:24,748
Okay, everybody in my
1348
00:41:24,748 --> 00:41:26,417
family calls me Robby.
1349
00:41:28,152 --> 00:41:30,087
Everybody I work.
1350
00:41:30,087 --> 00:41:30,888
Work with, like you.
1351
00:41:30,888 --> 00:41:32,790
And you all call me Rob.
1352
00:41:32,790 --> 00:41:33,457
Do your face.
1353
00:41:33,457 --> 00:41:34,191
Yeah.
1354
00:41:34,191 --> 00:41:40,464
My.
1355
00:41:40,464 --> 00:41:40,764
All right.
1356
00:41:40,764 --> 00:41:41,799
I'm going to tell a story.
1357
00:41:41,799 --> 00:41:43,267
Since you said that.
1358
00:41:43,267 --> 00:41:43,901
Gay.
1359
00:41:46,370 --> 00:41:47,838
So I'm working with one of the
1360
00:41:47,838 --> 00:41:50,941
the guys who used to work Brad
1361
00:41:50,941 --> 00:41:52,743
I forget his last name,
1362
00:41:52,743 --> 00:41:54,078
but Brad was in training.
1363
00:41:54,078 --> 00:41:54,712
We're doing
1364
00:41:54,712 --> 00:41:55,246
a really
1365
00:41:55,246 --> 00:41:58,315
a huge job school out in Toronto.
1366
00:41:58,716 --> 00:42:01,352
But man, was it hot, you know?
1367
00:42:02,019 --> 00:42:03,854
Now, another guy, Scott,
1368
00:42:03,854 --> 00:42:06,257
who used to be in training, he's
1369
00:42:06,257 --> 00:42:07,391
kind of texting us, you know,
1370
00:42:07,391 --> 00:42:08,926
how's the school going?
1371
00:42:08,926 --> 00:42:09,927
Hey, it's really hot.
1372
00:42:09,927 --> 00:42:12,196
And so he's texting me and text.
1373
00:42:12,196 --> 00:42:16,166
And Brad now this guy, Scott,
1374
00:42:16,166 --> 00:42:17,067
and a lot of people
1375
00:42:17,067 --> 00:42:19,270
probably met him at one of the schools.
1376
00:42:19,270 --> 00:42:21,105
His real job at Boner
1377
00:42:21,105 --> 00:42:22,973
was giving everybody a nickname.
1378
00:42:22,973 --> 00:42:25,442
Everybody had a nickname,
1379
00:42:26,043 --> 00:42:26,810
and they weren't
1380
00:42:26,810 --> 00:42:28,479
really flattering nicknames.
1381
00:42:28,479 --> 00:42:30,614
And everybody had a nickname.
1382
00:42:30,614 --> 00:42:31,682
Everybody.
1383
00:42:31,682 --> 00:42:35,219
Okay, so I'm driving back to the
1384
00:42:35,219 --> 00:42:36,053
room one night
1385
00:42:37,721 --> 00:42:39,123
with Brad.
1386
00:42:39,423 --> 00:42:41,292
So I said, you know, that's God.
1387
00:42:41,292 --> 00:42:42,259
He really gives everybody
1388
00:42:42,259 --> 00:42:43,227
a nickname, doesn't he?
1389
00:42:43,227 --> 00:42:45,462
And Brad's like, Oh, yeah, yeah.
1390
00:42:45,462 --> 00:42:45,829
You know,
1391
00:42:45,829 --> 00:42:46,530
because they work
1392
00:42:46,530 --> 00:42:48,966
in the same cubicle, right?
1393
00:42:48,966 --> 00:42:51,435
He's like, everybody,
1394
00:42:51,669 --> 00:42:52,236
everybody.
1395
00:42:52,236 --> 00:42:54,905
He gives everybody a nickname.
1396
00:42:54,905 --> 00:42:55,773
So I said, Really?
1397
00:42:55,773 --> 00:42:58,175
I go, So what's my nickname?
1398
00:42:58,175 --> 00:42:59,043
Right?
1399
00:42:59,877 --> 00:43:02,246
And this kid turns red.
1400
00:43:02,613 --> 00:43:03,681
Okay?
1401
00:43:03,681 --> 00:43:05,783
I mean, he turns red and he goes, Oh,
1402
00:43:07,117 --> 00:43:09,053
no, I don't think you have one.
1403
00:43:09,053 --> 00:43:10,621
I go, Why are.
1404
00:43:10,621 --> 00:43:12,356
You. Lying?
1405
00:43:12,356 --> 00:43:13,390
What's my nickname?
1406
00:43:13,390 --> 00:43:14,925
And he's and he starts laughing.
1407
00:43:14,925 --> 00:43:17,261
He's like, No, I'm pretty sure.
1408
00:43:17,261 --> 00:43:19,096
I go, You're lying to me.
1409
00:43:19,096 --> 00:43:21,632
You're I can tell right away.
1410
00:43:21,632 --> 00:43:24,935
I go, Lookit, I can take a joke, okay?
1411
00:43:25,569 --> 00:43:26,604
Don't worry about it.
1412
00:43:26,604 --> 00:43:27,905
What's my nickname?
1413
00:43:27,905 --> 00:43:29,640
Yeah, he's telling me.
1414
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:31,241
No, no, no.
1415
00:43:31,241 --> 00:43:34,178
The next day, Scott's doing that
1416
00:43:34,178 --> 00:43:34,745
same thing
1417
00:43:34,745 --> 00:43:35,913
where he's texting me
1418
00:43:35,913 --> 00:43:39,216
and text and Brad, well, he sends me
1419
00:43:39,850 --> 00:43:42,987
a text that he was sending to Brad
1420
00:43:43,387 --> 00:43:46,590
and then he said, How's VESTER doing?
1421
00:43:47,124 --> 00:43:48,626
I bet he's sweating.
1422
00:43:48,626 --> 00:43:53,364
Right out of his third of the looms.
1423
00:43:53,364 --> 00:43:55,399
And there was your nickname.
1424
00:43:55,399 --> 00:43:56,667
Though, right?
1425
00:43:56,667 --> 00:43:57,201
Yeah.
1426
00:43:57,201 --> 00:43:59,503
Uncle Fester. Right.
1427
00:43:59,503 --> 00:44:00,738
That's funny.
1428
00:44:00,738 --> 00:44:04,274
So faster was my nickname that I didn't
1429
00:44:04,274 --> 00:44:05,042
know about.
1430
00:44:06,577 --> 00:44:07,745
But there it is.
1431
00:44:07,745 --> 00:44:09,780
He put it in black and white, right?
1432
00:44:09,780 --> 00:44:12,116
Yeah. Yeah, that's. That's rough, man.
1433
00:44:12,549 --> 00:44:14,852
I don't text him back.
1434
00:44:14,852 --> 00:44:17,221
I step out into the parking lot,
1435
00:44:17,221 --> 00:44:18,622
I call him
1436
00:44:18,656 --> 00:44:21,325
and I'm yelling Faster, faster.
1437
00:44:21,358 --> 00:44:23,093
You call me faster.
1438
00:44:23,093 --> 00:44:25,195
That's my frickin nickname.
1439
00:44:25,195 --> 00:44:27,498
I said, I know you make up the nicknames.
1440
00:44:27,498 --> 00:44:29,667
And he's like, No, no, no, not to go.
1441
00:44:29,667 --> 00:44:31,502
Don't lie to me.
1442
00:44:31,502 --> 00:44:33,270
It's I don't care, okay?
1443
00:44:33,270 --> 00:44:34,972
I can take a joke.
1444
00:44:34,972 --> 00:44:37,341
I go by Fester
1445
00:44:37,341 --> 00:44:38,909
and he's like, Oh, no, no.
1446
00:44:38,909 --> 00:44:40,377
Fester is a lovable character.
1447
00:44:40,377 --> 00:44:41,512
Everybody love Fester.
1448
00:44:41,512 --> 00:44:42,646
I got to go.
1449
00:44:42,646 --> 00:44:44,581
Try to not go there.
1450
00:44:44,581 --> 00:44:46,717
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1451
00:44:46,750 --> 00:44:50,120
But yes, he
1452
00:44:51,355 --> 00:44:53,223
he was the nickname guy, so.
1453
00:44:53,223 --> 00:44:53,691
Yeah,
1454
00:44:53,691 --> 00:44:55,059
that's what they were saying about me
1455
00:44:55,059 --> 00:44:57,327
behind my back. So.
1456
00:44:57,327 --> 00:44:59,196
Yeah, sometimes you don't want to know.
1457
00:44:59,196 --> 00:45:00,931
I don't want to know.
1458
00:45:00,931 --> 00:45:02,599
I love the way I found out, though.
1459
00:45:03,867 --> 00:45:05,335
He just told me.
1460
00:45:05,335 --> 00:45:07,171
Yes, yes. Yep.
1461
00:45:07,171 --> 00:45:08,272
That hurts.
1462
00:45:08,272 --> 00:45:10,407
Yeah.
1463
00:45:10,407 --> 00:45:12,543
All right, Rob. Well.
1464
00:45:14,011 --> 00:45:15,679
I guess I won't see you again
1465
00:45:15,679 --> 00:45:16,780
till next year.
1466
00:45:16,780 --> 00:45:18,182
Get some rest, buddy.
1467
00:45:18,182 --> 00:45:19,650
Yeah, you to.
1468

Get some rest.
1469
00:45:21,418 --> 00:45:24,254
Enjoy some time at home, off the road.
1470
00:45:24,254 --> 00:45:25,589
A little bit.
1471
00:45:26,390 --> 00:45:27,458
