00:00:11,978 --> 00:00:13,246
Welcome to another episode of
2
00:00:13,246 --> 00:00:14,481
On the Floor with Wayne and Rob.
3
00:00:14,481 --> 00:00:15,415
I'm Wayne, Highlander
4
00:00:15,415 --> 00:00:17,283
with Bona Adhesives.
5
00:00:17,283 --> 00:00:20,120
And, Rob Johnson from the Bona
6
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,123
training, Hey, Rob.
7
00:00:24,257 --> 00:00:25,458
Hey, Wayne.
8
00:00:25,458 --> 00:00:27,027
How's it going? I'm good.
9
00:00:27,027 --> 00:00:28,728
Thank you.
10
00:00:28,728 --> 00:00:30,163
I thought we would talk a little bit
11
00:00:30,163 --> 00:00:33,166
about networking today.
12
00:00:34,968 --> 00:00:36,069
All right.
13
00:00:36,069 --> 00:00:36,803
You good?
14
00:00:36,803 --> 00:00:39,239
Okay.
15
00:00:39,239 --> 00:00:41,307
All right.
16
00:00:41,307 --> 00:00:44,310
17
00:00:44,944 --> 00:00:47,947
Okay.
18
00:01:08,501 --> 00:01:11,504
Let's save some money.
19
00:01:16,910 --> 00:01:17,977
Oh, there you go.
20
00:01:17,977 --> 00:01:20,380
All right. Well, Let's see.
21
00:01:20,380 --> 00:01:23,750
I'm often asked
22
00:01:23,750 --> 00:01:25,051
and sometimes it comes across,
23
00:01:25,051 --> 00:01:25,685
we get asked,
24
00:01:25,685 --> 00:01:28,922
if I'm, if I'm going to nail the floor
25
00:01:28,922 --> 00:01:29,789
anyhow.
26
00:01:29,789 --> 00:01:31,057
Do I have to use the same size
27
00:01:31,057 --> 00:01:33,026
night's trowel or can I, can I,
28
00:01:33,026 --> 00:01:33,726
you know, go down
29
00:01:33,726 --> 00:01:36,729
to, a size or two and save money
30
00:01:36,830 --> 00:01:38,565
as what you get in that?
31
00:01:38,565 --> 00:01:40,700
So here's the dealio.
32
00:01:40,700 --> 00:01:42,669
I've got an engineer
33
00:01:42,669 --> 00:01:43,603
that's more palatable
34
00:01:43,603 --> 00:01:45,138
on an engineered floor.
35
00:01:45,138 --> 00:01:47,240
But when you get into, like,
36
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,210
the wide, like, like a solid floor,
37
00:01:50,410 --> 00:01:52,278
some of those have the, like, the,
38
00:01:52,278 --> 00:01:53,279
the curves on the back,
39
00:01:53,279 --> 00:01:54,581
and some of them are deep curves
40
00:01:54,581 --> 00:01:56,049
on the back of the boards.
41
00:01:56,049 --> 00:01:59,385
And, when you got to a smaller trowel,
42
00:01:59,385 --> 00:01:59,986
you can,
43
00:01:59,986 --> 00:02:02,522
it cannot get up into the void
44
00:02:02,522 --> 00:02:03,890
and reach into the curves and everything
45
00:02:03,890 --> 00:02:04,724
like you'd want them to.
46
00:02:04,724 --> 00:02:06,259
Right. Makes sense.
47
00:02:06,259 --> 00:02:07,760
So when people ask me
48
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,095
that and understanding
49
00:02:09,095 --> 00:02:10,930
that they want to save some money,
50
00:02:10,930 --> 00:02:12,732
that's the idea that, okay,
51
00:02:12,732 --> 00:02:13,099
I mean,
52
00:02:13,099 --> 00:02:15,034
they don't want a full trowel because.
53
00:02:15,034 --> 00:02:15,768
And the old
54
00:02:15,768 --> 00:02:16,269
because they want to
55
00:02:16,269 --> 00:02:17,770
save money on the job,
56
00:02:17,770 --> 00:02:19,472
which obviously
57
00:02:19,472 --> 00:02:21,274
that's the optimum for traveling in.
58
00:02:21,274 --> 00:02:21,574
They like,
59
00:02:21,574 --> 00:02:23,710
but if they want to save money in that,
60
00:02:23,710 --> 00:02:26,045
I'd rather than have them
61
00:02:26,045 --> 00:02:26,846
rather than have them
62
00:02:26,846 --> 00:02:28,114
drop down to a smaller notch.
63
00:02:28,114 --> 00:02:31,751
Trowel is maybe, skip trowel,
64
00:02:32,152 --> 00:02:33,319
like every eight inch or so
65
00:02:33,319 --> 00:02:34,954
and go with a, with a, quarter.
66
00:02:34,954 --> 00:02:35,955
It's not your wider.
67
00:02:35,955 --> 00:02:36,890
Not so you can make sure
68
00:02:36,890 --> 00:02:38,591
you get up into all the recesses
69
00:02:38,591 --> 00:02:40,160
of the, of that board.
70
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:40,760
Does that make sense.
71
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:41,628
So you can
72
00:02:41,628 --> 00:02:42,795
you can still,
73
00:02:42,795 --> 00:02:44,464
you know, save some money by like,
74
00:02:44,464 --> 00:02:45,198
you know, going over
75
00:02:45,198 --> 00:02:46,833
every eight inches or so
76
00:02:46,833 --> 00:02:49,202
and, and steadily nailing schedule.
77
00:02:49,202 --> 00:02:50,470
But by that way, you're getting you're
78
00:02:50,470 --> 00:02:50,837
making sure
79
00:02:50,837 --> 00:02:52,005
you're getting adhesive up into
80
00:02:52,005 --> 00:02:53,540
the board. That makes sense.
81
00:02:54,574 --> 00:02:55,909
So you would use the same
82
00:02:55,909 --> 00:02:58,444
trowel you would use
83
00:02:58,444 --> 00:03:00,747
if you were going full trowel.
84
00:03:00,747 --> 00:03:01,347
Yep.
85
00:03:01,347 --> 00:03:02,382
Like let's say
86
00:03:02,382 --> 00:03:02,782
let's say
87
00:03:02,782 --> 00:03:04,417
I wasn't going to nail the Florida
88
00:03:04,417 --> 00:03:05,418
and I was going to use,
89
00:03:05,418 --> 00:03:07,487
like the 1250 trowel or whatever.
90
00:03:07,487 --> 00:03:08,354
Because,
91
00:03:08,354 --> 00:03:10,256
you know, it's a five inch or so,
92
00:03:10,256 --> 00:03:10,623
you know,
93
00:03:10,623 --> 00:03:12,192
six inch wide plank board
94
00:03:12,192 --> 00:03:14,594
or you maybe there's a 1500 trowel.
95
00:03:14,594 --> 00:03:16,229
Use the same trowel.
96
00:03:16,229 --> 00:03:18,965
But just just, you know,
97
00:03:18,965 --> 00:03:20,934
skip trowel every eight inches or so,
98
00:03:20,934 --> 00:03:22,202
and you can trowel that out.
99
00:03:22,202 --> 00:03:24,204
You can try that out pretty quick
100
00:03:24,204 --> 00:03:25,138
when you're doing that.
101
00:03:25,138 --> 00:03:26,906
I'd rather that then.
102
00:03:26,906 --> 00:03:28,875
Now, if it's an engineered floor
103
00:03:28,875 --> 00:03:30,410
where it's flat on the bottom, like,
104
00:03:30,410 --> 00:03:31,110
you know what I mean?
105
00:03:31,110 --> 00:03:32,445
You could probably drop
106
00:03:32,445 --> 00:03:33,947
down a drop down in size
107
00:03:33,947 --> 00:03:35,114
and in the trowel
108
00:03:35,114 --> 00:03:37,617
without any problem for sure. So, okay.
109
00:03:38,585 --> 00:03:40,687
All right, all right.
110
00:03:40,687 --> 00:03:42,288
Because you're not at that point,
111
00:03:42,288 --> 00:03:44,724
you're not worried about sound control.
112
00:03:44,724 --> 00:03:46,226
Just thinking it through
113
00:03:46,226 --> 00:03:47,560
because you're kneeling also.
114
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:48,328
So it kind of defeats
115
00:03:48,328 --> 00:03:49,662
the purpose of that. So yeah.
116
00:03:49,662 --> 00:03:50,997
Absolutely. You could do that.
117
00:03:50,997 --> 00:03:54,000
All right.
118
00:04:02,809 --> 00:04:03,276
Yeah.
119
00:04:03,276 --> 00:04:03,676
A lot of
120
00:04:03,676 --> 00:04:04,577
you had the deep curves
121
00:04:04,577 --> 00:04:05,612
in the back of the boards
122
00:04:05,612 --> 00:04:06,246
and what have you.
123
00:04:06,246 --> 00:04:07,447
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
124
00:04:07,447 --> 00:04:09,649
Exactly right. Okay.
125
00:04:09,649 --> 00:04:10,216
All right.
126
00:04:10,216 --> 00:04:12,986
So is it.
127
00:04:12,986 --> 00:04:14,854
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
128
00:04:14,854 --> 00:04:17,857
There you go.
129
00:04:19,292 --> 00:04:19,826
All right.
130
00:04:19,826 --> 00:04:21,928
Let's talk about networking.
131
00:04:21,928 --> 00:04:23,563
Would you, would.
132
00:04:23,563 --> 00:04:25,131
You say.
133
00:04:25,131 --> 00:04:26,432
That you are an introvert
134
00:04:26,432 --> 00:04:29,435
or an extrovert?
135
00:04:31,938 --> 00:04:32,672
You are.
136
00:04:32,672 --> 00:04:33,006
Would you.
137
00:04:33,006 --> 00:04:35,642
What would you say?
138
00:04:35,642 --> 00:04:36,676
Yeah.
139
00:04:36,676 --> 00:04:37,777
I would agree with that. With you.
140
00:04:37,777 --> 00:04:40,780
What would you say that I am?
141
00:04:45,451 --> 00:04:47,253
Oh I'm absolutely not an extrovert.
142
00:04:49,689 --> 00:04:51,624
No
143
00:04:51,624 --> 00:04:53,760
I think I'm going to ambivalent.
144
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,095
I think that's a word.
145
00:04:56,095 --> 00:04:58,264
Yeah.
146
00:04:58,264 --> 00:05:01,134
I at work, I'm an extrovert, I think.
147
00:05:01,134 --> 00:05:03,469
But in my true nature of my mind,
148
00:05:03,469 --> 00:05:04,971
you know, when I'm by myself
149
00:05:04,971 --> 00:05:07,340
or in my, you know, not working world.
150
00:05:07,340 --> 00:05:09,175
I'm definitely an introvert.
151
00:05:09,175 --> 00:05:11,444
I don't like I don't I don't talk a lot.
152
00:05:11,444 --> 00:05:14,347
I don't.
153
00:05:14,347 --> 00:05:17,250
Well, there's not that it
154
00:05:17,250 --> 00:05:20,253
I think just think that's my nature.
155
00:05:26,292 --> 00:05:29,295
The, that's a bad example.
156
00:05:29,762 --> 00:05:32,131
That might. Yeah.
157
00:05:32,131 --> 00:05:32,532
All right.
158
00:05:32,532 --> 00:05:34,367
Reason I ask that.
159
00:05:34,367 --> 00:05:36,836
I think talking about,
160
00:05:36,836 --> 00:05:39,839
networking and,
161
00:05:40,506 --> 00:05:42,308
as a, as an introvert, for me,
162
00:05:42,308 --> 00:05:43,710
especially to I remember
163
00:05:43,710 --> 00:05:46,179
going back as a younger contractor,
164
00:05:46,179 --> 00:05:50,049
I didn't I was not one to,
165
00:05:50,049 --> 00:05:51,317
like, talk in the crowd
166
00:05:51,317 --> 00:05:52,118
and not to
167
00:05:52,118 --> 00:05:53,920
to reach out to people or and and,
168
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,755
and and also
169
00:05:55,755 --> 00:05:57,590
I was of the mindset
170
00:05:57,590 --> 00:05:59,592
that, you know, my, my, my work
171
00:05:59,592 --> 00:06:01,627
did the talking. You know what I mean?
172
00:06:01,627 --> 00:06:02,495
I didn't
173
00:06:02,495 --> 00:06:03,996
yeah, that was just the way it was.
174
00:06:03,996 --> 00:06:05,331
I was quiet and kept to yourself
175
00:06:05,331 --> 00:06:06,499
and what have you.
176
00:06:06,499 --> 00:06:08,501
But, it's a kind of a different world
177
00:06:08,501 --> 00:06:09,902
now where everybody seems
178
00:06:09,902 --> 00:06:11,604
to be their own advocate
179
00:06:11,604 --> 00:06:14,607
and just in general, I think the,
180
00:06:15,208 --> 00:06:17,977
how important it is to network,
181
00:06:18,978 --> 00:06:21,981
for a lot of different reasons.
182
00:06:22,515 --> 00:06:23,649
And I'll tell you one thing
183
00:06:23,649 --> 00:06:25,985
I just heard about recently,
184
00:06:25,985 --> 00:06:28,054
that, you know, that's really smart,
185
00:06:28,054 --> 00:06:30,790
a flooring contractor that I know,
186
00:06:30,790 --> 00:06:32,258
was friends with,
187
00:06:32,258 --> 00:06:32,658
and he
188
00:06:32,658 --> 00:06:35,628
joined a, kind of a, a small business
189
00:06:36,496 --> 00:06:38,197
business association or what have you.
190
00:06:38,197 --> 00:06:39,065
And there's different,
191
00:06:39,065 --> 00:06:41,267
you know, it could be a,
192
00:06:41,267 --> 00:06:42,769
the tile guy in there.
193
00:06:42,769 --> 00:06:43,436
It could be a painter.
194
00:06:43,436 --> 00:06:44,070
Could also,
195
00:06:44,070 --> 00:06:44,937
just be like a guy
196
00:06:44,937 --> 00:06:46,472
that owns a subway store or whatever,
197
00:06:46,472 --> 00:06:46,672
you know,
198
00:06:46,672 --> 00:06:47,440
just all kind of
199
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,510
small, professional, business people.
200
00:06:51,411 --> 00:06:52,678
And he got to talking with one
201
00:06:52,678 --> 00:06:53,880
and about how hard,
202
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,883
how much his rent was for his, his shop.
203
00:06:57,016 --> 00:07:00,153
And, man, the landlord raised it again.
204
00:07:00,153 --> 00:07:01,120
And you're paying
205
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,321
all this money for rent?
206
00:07:02,321 --> 00:07:03,322
The other guy was kind of saying
207
00:07:03,322 --> 00:07:04,824
the same thing.
208
00:07:04,824 --> 00:07:06,225
Totally unrelated.
209
00:07:06,225 --> 00:07:08,494
The guy was a painter,
210
00:07:08,494 --> 00:07:10,630
and he started saying, you know what?
211
00:07:10,630 --> 00:07:11,597
Let's look at my shop.
212
00:07:11,597 --> 00:07:12,165
In your shop?
213
00:07:12,165 --> 00:07:14,333
Does it make sense to combine them
214
00:07:14,333 --> 00:07:15,868
and split the rent?
215
00:07:15,868 --> 00:07:17,570
On this?
216
00:07:17,570 --> 00:07:19,639
And it worked out fantastic
217
00:07:19,639 --> 00:07:21,140
for both of them.
218
00:07:21,140 --> 00:07:24,110
So, you know, just through networking
219
00:07:24,444 --> 00:07:26,012
opens a lot of doors
220
00:07:26,012 --> 00:07:27,380
that, you know, if you're closed off
221
00:07:27,380 --> 00:07:29,115
and you buy yourself and what have you.
222
00:07:30,483 --> 00:07:31,284
I also
223
00:07:31,284 --> 00:07:31,851
don't think you're as
224
00:07:31,851 --> 00:07:34,854
open to ideas as much if you don't.
225
00:07:34,854 --> 00:07:36,989
So I think that's one example of,
226
00:07:36,989 --> 00:07:40,526
you know, of, of networking
227
00:07:40,526 --> 00:07:43,529
that I think really kind of pays off.
228
00:07:47,867 --> 00:07:48,935
it was funny when you said.
229
00:07:48,935 --> 00:07:51,571
Hey, let's do a show on networking.
230
00:07:51,571 --> 00:07:53,706
I usually start,
231
00:07:53,706 --> 00:07:54,674
the school, you know,
232
00:07:54,674 --> 00:07:56,742
my opening monologue type thing.
233
00:07:56,742 --> 00:07:57,710
And what we talk about
234
00:07:57,710 --> 00:07:59,278
when we're starting everything.
235
00:07:59,278 --> 00:08:01,848
And one of the things that I also say to
236
00:08:01,848 --> 00:08:03,349
everybody is,
237
00:08:03,349 --> 00:08:04,450
hey, you're going to learn a lot
238
00:08:04,450 --> 00:08:06,886
from the bone of people here
239
00:08:06,886 --> 00:08:08,621
as instructors.
240
00:08:08,621 --> 00:08:08,988
I said,
241
00:08:08,988 --> 00:08:10,256
but you really going to learn a lot
242
00:08:10,256 --> 00:08:11,457
from each other, too?
243
00:08:11,457 --> 00:08:12,558
I go,
244
00:08:12,558 --> 00:08:12,959
you know,
245
00:08:12,959 --> 00:08:14,527
the big thing about the schools
246
00:08:14,527 --> 00:08:16,996
is we get two days to network,
247
00:08:18,097 --> 00:08:19,966
and
248
00:08:19,966 --> 00:08:23,503
it's amazing what I've seen guys do.
249
00:08:23,769 --> 00:08:26,706
I was here about a month ago, and,
250
00:08:26,706 --> 00:08:28,941
we did a Rico class
251
00:08:28,941 --> 00:08:31,811
and talk about networking
252
00:08:31,811 --> 00:08:34,814
to guys, about
253
00:09:15,321 --> 00:09:18,324
Yep.
254
00:09:39,712 --> 00:09:42,715
Yeah.
255
00:09:49,789 --> 00:09:50,656
Yeah.
256
00:09:50,656 --> 00:09:51,624
Yes. Yeah.
257
00:09:51,624 --> 00:09:54,627
That's a great example.
258
00:10:00,032 --> 00:10:03,035
Yeah.
259
00:10:23,823 --> 00:10:26,826
Yep.
260
00:10:39,305 --> 00:10:41,307
Yep.
261
00:10:41,307 --> 00:10:42,308
Yep. Look at you.
262
00:10:42,308 --> 00:10:44,477
Using the word organic.
263
00:10:44,477 --> 00:10:46,879
Yeah. Yeah.
264
00:10:46,879 --> 00:10:48,648
Pretty good stuff.
265
00:10:48,648 --> 00:10:49,749
We have a friend
266
00:10:49,749 --> 00:10:51,984
whose daughter is a wedding photographer,
267
00:10:51,984 --> 00:10:52,652
and,
268
00:10:52,652 --> 00:10:54,120
she networks with florists
269
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,389
in different venues and caterers,
270
00:10:56,389 --> 00:10:59,358
and it's an instant referral pipeline.
271
00:10:59,558 --> 00:11:02,628
So I just think that, you know,
272
00:11:02,728 --> 00:11:03,529
back in the old days
273
00:11:03,529 --> 00:11:04,830
where I was more closed off
274
00:11:04,830 --> 00:11:06,499
and would have you just kind of,
275
00:11:06,499 --> 00:11:07,400
you know, that mentality.
276
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:08,501
I take care of myself,
277
00:11:08,501 --> 00:11:09,669
and I just do my own thing,
278
00:11:09,669 --> 00:11:11,704
whatever that reaching out.
279
00:11:11,704 --> 00:11:14,674
I just don't know if, if it's a it's
280
00:11:14,674 --> 00:11:17,677
the smart thing to do, especially now.
281
00:11:17,810 --> 00:11:19,545
And I'm going to talk about the buffet
282
00:11:19,545 --> 00:11:21,280
and the the wood for business magazine
283
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:22,848
a little bit later on too.
284
00:11:22,848 --> 00:11:27,486
But then for, for free or cheap
285
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,989
advice and mentoring,
286
00:11:29,989 --> 00:11:31,924
with experience owners, it,
287
00:11:31,924 --> 00:11:33,292
you know, network
288
00:11:33,292 --> 00:11:35,661
becomes like informal advisors,
289
00:11:35,661 --> 00:11:36,796
who've already made
290
00:11:36,796 --> 00:11:39,031
the mistakes that you're about to make.
291
00:11:39,031 --> 00:11:40,900
So I think that's
292
00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:42,201
I think we've seen that with,
293
00:11:42,201 --> 00:11:43,069
so many,
294
00:11:43,069 --> 00:11:44,236
you know, Chris is has been
295
00:11:44,236 --> 00:11:46,005
really good at,
296
00:11:47,206 --> 00:11:50,142
I'll tell you story about Chris is a.
297
00:11:50,142 --> 00:11:51,477
I don't think he mind that.
298
00:11:51,477 --> 00:11:53,412
Mind me sharing this.
299
00:11:53,412 --> 00:11:56,215
I there's a good contractor
300
00:11:56,215 --> 00:11:56,882
I know very well
301
00:11:56,882 --> 00:11:58,217
I'm friends with in Nashville.
302
00:11:58,217 --> 00:12:00,553
Mike Betts with all American hardwood.
303
00:12:00,553 --> 00:12:03,989
And, he had a pair of boxing gloves
304
00:12:03,989 --> 00:12:06,992
from Muhammad Ali, and,
305
00:12:07,827 --> 00:12:08,494
he knows it.
306
00:12:08,494 --> 00:12:10,362
Chris, this is, this law guy.
307
00:12:10,362 --> 00:12:11,030
Over the years, he's
308
00:12:11,030 --> 00:12:12,364
been exchanging information,
309
00:12:12,364 --> 00:12:12,965
you know,
310
00:12:12,965 --> 00:12:14,133
talking about what we do
311
00:12:14,133 --> 00:12:15,000
on different jobs
312
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:15,735
and how you would handle
313
00:12:15,735 --> 00:12:17,336
a certain situation. Whatever.
314
00:12:17,336 --> 00:12:20,072
And, and Mike gave him the boxing gloves
315
00:12:20,072 --> 00:12:21,006
that were at the time,
316
00:12:21,006 --> 00:12:22,675
they were very, very expensive
317
00:12:22,675 --> 00:12:24,276
boxing gloves when he bought them.
318
00:12:24,276 --> 00:12:25,044
And, you know what?
319
00:12:25,044 --> 00:12:26,011
I know he would like these.
320
00:12:26,011 --> 00:12:27,947
And so that's kind of a nice,
321
00:12:27,947 --> 00:12:29,949
nice little thing there.
322
00:12:29,949 --> 00:12:32,418
But you look at Josh Hanson
323
00:12:32,418 --> 00:12:33,919
and, Matt Garcia,
324
00:12:33,919 --> 00:12:35,654
we've had both these guys on here
325
00:12:35,654 --> 00:12:36,489
that you see them
326
00:12:36,489 --> 00:12:37,490
networking back and forth
327
00:12:37,490 --> 00:12:38,557
with each other, network
328
00:12:38,557 --> 00:12:40,092
with other people.
329
00:12:40,092 --> 00:12:41,227
Josh did a great thing
330
00:12:41,227 --> 00:12:43,195
where he brought in a distributor
331
00:12:43,195 --> 00:12:44,730
and all the flooring contractors
332
00:12:44,730 --> 00:12:45,765
in the area,
333
00:12:45,765 --> 00:12:49,034
and, other businesses, and had a class.
334
00:12:49,568 --> 00:12:52,605
So, it just man,
335
00:12:52,605 --> 00:12:54,173
what a great, inexpensive way
336
00:12:54,173 --> 00:12:55,908
to get your name out there
337
00:12:55,908 --> 00:12:57,243
and to, to build
338
00:12:57,243 --> 00:12:59,078
your business in your brand.
339
00:12:59,078 --> 00:13:01,947
So I just think that, you know,
340
00:13:01,947 --> 00:13:02,815
for visibility
341
00:13:02,815 --> 00:13:03,649
and credibility,
342
00:13:03,649 --> 00:13:05,384
doing events like this is,
343
00:13:05,384 --> 00:13:08,754
it you think these things, like extra
344
00:13:09,421 --> 00:13:10,422
curricular things that,
345
00:13:10,422 --> 00:13:12,091
I don't have time for doing these things
346
00:13:12,091 --> 00:13:15,094
or what have you, but they pay off
347
00:13:15,561 --> 00:13:16,829
and they pay off in a really,
348
00:13:16,829 --> 00:13:18,164
really big way.
349
00:13:18,164 --> 00:13:19,632
And especially when it
350
00:13:19,632 --> 00:13:21,734
comes to being like a mentor.
351
00:13:21,734 --> 00:13:23,002
I mean, you can spend thousands
352
00:13:23,002 --> 00:13:24,203
in consulting fees
353
00:13:24,203 --> 00:13:26,238
and you could do months
354
00:13:26,238 --> 00:13:28,374
and years of trial and error,
355
00:13:28,374 --> 00:13:30,209
or reaching out to
356
00:13:30,209 --> 00:13:31,043
little different people.
357
00:13:31,043 --> 00:13:32,978
Matt Garcia had, a thing
358
00:13:32,978 --> 00:13:34,380
on how he pays his employees.
359
00:13:34,380 --> 00:13:35,414
I thought it was really super
360
00:13:35,414 --> 00:13:35,815
interesting.
361
00:13:35,815 --> 00:13:37,783
He's kind of changing the game,
362
00:13:37,783 --> 00:13:39,885
with some of the stuff he's doing.
363
00:13:39,885 --> 00:13:43,522
So, I, I just think it's
364
00:13:43,522 --> 00:13:47,026
so important now to, Not only that, Rob.
365
00:13:49,161 --> 00:13:51,197
Running a business is hard work,
366
00:13:51,197 --> 00:13:53,866
and not many people can relate to
367
00:13:53,866 --> 00:13:56,869
how hard that that is to run a business.
368
00:13:57,636 --> 00:13:58,804
I've said before,
369
00:13:58,804 --> 00:14:00,739
I don't think your friends realize
370
00:14:00,739 --> 00:14:01,473
how hard it is.
371
00:14:01,473 --> 00:14:01,874
I don't think
372
00:14:01,874 --> 00:14:03,275
sometimes spouses or whatever,
373
00:14:03,275 --> 00:14:04,710
it may not realize how hard it is.
374
00:14:04,710 --> 00:14:05,878
And sometimes your employees
375
00:14:05,878 --> 00:14:07,046
don't realize how hard it is,
376
00:14:07,046 --> 00:14:08,581
how much pressure is on you,
377
00:14:08,581 --> 00:14:09,882
you know, because you got to be the whip
378
00:14:09,882 --> 00:14:10,449
all the time.
379
00:14:10,449 --> 00:14:11,450
You got to keep everything
380
00:14:11,450 --> 00:14:12,918
going for everybody.
381
00:14:12,918 --> 00:14:13,252
You know?
382
00:14:13,252 --> 00:14:14,854
You got to be the coach,
383
00:14:14,854 --> 00:14:17,690
the mentor, the the the psychologist,
384
00:14:17,690 --> 00:14:18,924
the guy who gives the pep talks,
385
00:14:18,924 --> 00:14:20,659
the guy that puts the hammer down,
386
00:14:20,659 --> 00:14:21,861
the guy who keeps the schedule,
387
00:14:21,861 --> 00:14:23,062
the guy that pays the bills,
388
00:14:23,062 --> 00:14:24,530
the guy that does the bidding.
389
00:14:24,530 --> 00:14:25,397
In many cases.
390
00:14:25,397 --> 00:14:27,433
Are you where so many hats
391
00:14:27,433 --> 00:14:29,235
and you can get worn down the,
392
00:14:29,235 --> 00:14:30,536
year after year.
393
00:14:30,536 --> 00:14:33,272
So just for moral support, you know.
394
00:14:33,272 --> 00:14:33,873
Hey, man,
395
00:14:33,873 --> 00:14:35,341
I know what you're going through.
396
00:14:35,341 --> 00:14:38,277
To talk to someone that that gets it.
397
00:14:38,277 --> 00:14:40,746
And that's why another reason
398
00:14:40,746 --> 00:14:43,849
why I'm such a big fan of the PFA and,
399
00:14:43,849 --> 00:14:46,018
and going to the conventions
400
00:14:46,018 --> 00:14:47,586
and, to get around.
401
00:14:47,586 --> 00:14:49,255
It's good for your soul
402
00:14:49,255 --> 00:14:51,590
just to be around other like minded guys.
403
00:14:51,590 --> 00:14:53,959
It just charges your batteries.
404
00:14:53,959 --> 00:14:55,427
We talk about the conventions.
405
00:14:59,665 --> 00:15:02,668
Yeah.
406
00:15:10,609 --> 00:15:13,579
Yeah.
407
00:15:17,650 --> 00:15:18,284
Yeah.
408
00:15:18,284 --> 00:15:21,287
Yeah.
409
00:15:27,893 --> 00:15:30,896
Yeah.
410
00:15:33,532 --> 00:15:36,535
Yeah.
411
00:15:39,038 --> 00:15:40,105
Yeah.
412
00:15:40,105 --> 00:15:40,706
Yeah.
413
00:15:40,706 --> 00:15:43,676
No.
414
00:15:43,676 --> 00:15:46,612
this networking thing,
415
00:15:46,612 --> 00:15:47,413
it's amazing
416
00:15:47,413 --> 00:15:49,481
what it's turned into because, you know,
417
00:15:49,481 --> 00:15:51,350
going back to my family
418
00:15:51,350 --> 00:15:53,419
roots and everything.
419
00:15:53,419 --> 00:15:56,555
Well, we didn't talk to anybody.
420
00:15:57,623 --> 00:16:00,626
And if you talk to my dad and uncle, they
421
00:16:02,561 --> 00:16:05,564
Yep.
422
00:16:10,235 --> 00:16:13,238
Yep.
423
00:16:15,274 --> 00:16:17,376
Secret.
424
00:16:17,376 --> 00:16:20,379
Yeah.
425
00:16:33,559 --> 00:16:34,760
Yeah.
426
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,763
Yeah.
427
00:16:40,065 --> 00:16:43,068
working well when I was a kid,
428
00:16:43,268 --> 00:16:46,071
just the thought of another company
429
00:16:46,071 --> 00:16:48,440
calling and, you know,
430
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:49,908
saying, hey, can you,
431
00:16:49,908 --> 00:16:51,677
you know, can you help me out?
432
00:16:51,677 --> 00:16:54,980
But I, you know, I say that and
433
00:16:56,115 --> 00:16:57,883
there was a time that,
434
00:16:57,883 --> 00:17:00,119
one of our biggest competitors,
435
00:17:00,119 --> 00:17:02,821
another bowling alley guy, Sander
436
00:17:02,821 --> 00:17:05,557
in Massachusetts,
437
00:17:05,557 --> 00:17:08,560
who called my dad
438
00:17:08,894 --> 00:17:11,897
and said, my wife is dying of
439
00:17:39,758 --> 00:17:42,761
Yeah.
440
00:17:52,037 --> 00:17:54,940
So his wife is dying of cancer and is.
441
00:17:54,940 --> 00:17:57,543
And your dad put you on one of his jobs.
442
00:18:01,013 --> 00:18:01,713
There.
443
00:18:01,713 --> 00:18:02,214
Your dad.
444
00:18:02,214 --> 00:18:05,217
Your dad pulled no punches, man.
445
00:18:08,120 --> 00:18:08,954
Yeah.
446
00:18:08,954 --> 00:18:10,522
He put me in another guy
447
00:18:10,522 --> 00:18:11,723
on that guy's crew.
448
00:18:11,723 --> 00:18:13,125
And, you know, we kind of,
449
00:18:13,125 --> 00:18:15,160
we were kind of
450
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,163
Well,
451
00:18:24,536 --> 00:18:27,539
Yeah.
452
00:18:29,108 --> 00:18:30,676
Yeah.
453
00:18:30,676 --> 00:18:33,679
Good.
454
00:18:51,797 --> 00:18:54,800
Yeah.
455
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,609
Wow.
456
00:19:03,609 --> 00:19:05,477
Yeah, yeah, I've seen it before.
457
00:19:05,477 --> 00:19:07,146
When I was, working to Lawrence
458
00:19:07,146 --> 00:19:07,913
Livermore lab, half
459
00:19:07,913 --> 00:19:10,582
our crew could not get in
460
00:19:10,582 --> 00:19:12,284
the government job.
461
00:19:12,284 --> 00:19:13,719
He used to work with the guys
462
00:19:13,719 --> 00:19:14,520
every day, and, you know.
463
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:15,687
Yeah, we went to this new job
464
00:19:15,687 --> 00:19:16,255
and everything else
465
00:19:16,255 --> 00:19:17,523
suddenly like, no, I can't.
466
00:19:17,523 --> 00:19:18,357
I can't work here.
467
00:19:18,357 --> 00:19:19,558
And we're still in psych,
468
00:19:19,558 --> 00:19:21,026
and you couldn't work here.
469
00:19:21,026 --> 00:19:24,029
That kind of crowd was that working with?
470
00:19:26,899 --> 00:19:27,799
I've read,
471
00:19:27,799 --> 00:19:29,535
that for small businesses
472
00:19:29,535 --> 00:19:31,803
that that do under $5 million
473
00:19:31,803 --> 00:19:33,805
consistent networking beats
474
00:19:33,805 --> 00:19:36,808
almost any paid advertising channel in
475
00:19:36,808 --> 00:19:40,212
both ROI and long term stability.
476
00:19:41,146 --> 00:19:43,448
So they say treat relationships
477
00:19:43,448 --> 00:19:44,750
as your most valuable asset
478
00:19:44,750 --> 00:19:47,152
because they usually are. I think that is
479
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:49,922
pretty powerful stuff
480
00:19:49,922 --> 00:19:51,356
and tells you how important it is
481
00:19:51,356 --> 00:19:53,158
to actually spend time,
482
00:19:53,158 --> 00:19:55,494
doing this kind of stuff, you know,
483
00:19:55,494 --> 00:19:56,228
and there's
484
00:19:56,228 --> 00:19:57,429
there's a couple different types
485
00:19:57,429 --> 00:19:59,998
of networking, there's online networking,
486
00:19:59,998 --> 00:20:01,967
and then there's,
487
00:20:01,967 --> 00:20:03,902
there's in-person networking,
488
00:20:03,902 --> 00:20:05,103
and there's,
489
00:20:05,103 --> 00:20:05,537
you know,
490
00:20:05,537 --> 00:20:06,738
certainly advantages
491
00:20:06,738 --> 00:20:09,074
and disadvantages to both.
492
00:20:09,074 --> 00:20:12,077
And, so I can remember that as well.
493
00:20:12,544 --> 00:20:15,547
I think that,
494
00:20:17,282 --> 00:20:20,285
Yeah.
495
00:20:23,055 --> 00:20:26,058
Yeah.
496
00:20:26,892 --> 00:20:28,093
a couple of distributors.
497
00:20:28,093 --> 00:20:31,396
So he he made no bones about it.
498
00:20:31,430 --> 00:20:32,998
I mean, there was like, you know, it was
499
00:20:32,998 --> 00:20:34,366
there's plenty for everybody
500
00:20:34,366 --> 00:20:36,001
kind of an attitude.
501
00:20:36,001 --> 00:20:38,337
And I just did a school like that
502
00:20:38,337 --> 00:20:39,705
last week.
503
00:20:39,705 --> 00:20:42,708
I did a, two day school in Pittsburgh,
504
00:20:43,242 --> 00:20:45,143
and there was a sport guy
505
00:20:45,143 --> 00:20:46,511
that I used to work with,
506
00:20:46,511 --> 00:20:48,680
when I was doing sport rec class ski.
507
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,683
And Rudy Kawasaki, his dad, would floor
508
00:20:51,683 --> 00:20:54,686
designs just outside of Pittsburgh.
509
00:20:54,886 --> 00:20:57,589
And what, beautiful training center
510
00:20:57,589 --> 00:20:59,658
he put in his shop Wow.
511
00:21:03,061 --> 00:21:05,797
You know, he's, pretty good size outfit,
512
00:21:05,797 --> 00:21:09,601
but, man, I mean, his training center is
513
00:21:09,601 --> 00:21:10,669
probably the same size
514
00:21:10,669 --> 00:21:11,770
as our training center
515
00:21:11,770 --> 00:21:14,773
and or our old training center in
516
00:21:15,173 --> 00:21:18,076
Yeah.
517
00:21:18,076 --> 00:21:20,112
And we he did the same thing.
518
00:21:20,112 --> 00:21:23,715
He had, he had a distributor.
519
00:21:24,082 --> 00:21:26,418
He had, a couple of different companies
520
00:21:26,418 --> 00:21:27,319
there.
521
00:21:27,319 --> 00:21:30,322
And, you know, it was just a huge,
522
00:21:30,656 --> 00:21:33,659
networking event Nice.
523
00:21:34,559 --> 00:21:35,327
That says a lot.
524
00:21:35,327 --> 00:21:36,795
The only other person I've ever known
525
00:21:36,795 --> 00:21:39,431
do that is, is, John
526
00:21:39,431 --> 00:21:40,532
with,
527
00:21:40,532 --> 00:21:42,934
the flooring contractor
528
00:21:42,934 --> 00:21:44,069
down there in Chattanooga.
529
00:21:44,069 --> 00:21:45,937
John. Prater.
530
00:21:45,937 --> 00:21:47,139
Previous floors. Yeah.
531
00:21:47,139 --> 00:21:48,740
He brings in all his competitors.
532
00:21:48,740 --> 00:21:49,908
And just as here's
533
00:21:49,908 --> 00:21:51,209
guy, here's what we're doing.
534
00:21:51,209 --> 00:21:52,711
Here's how we do it.
535
00:21:52,711 --> 00:21:53,979
Welcome.
536
00:21:53,979 --> 00:21:55,113
Any input you guys want,
537
00:21:55,113 --> 00:21:57,582
but just want to see what we're doing.
538
00:21:57,582 --> 00:21:59,451
It says a lot about
539
00:21:59,451 --> 00:22:00,786
the character and confidence
540
00:22:01,753 --> 00:22:02,954
and quality of a person
541
00:22:02,954 --> 00:22:03,922
that that does that.
542
00:22:03,922 --> 00:22:06,925
So hats off to those those guys.
543
00:22:20,072 --> 00:22:23,075
Well.
544
00:22:37,489 --> 00:22:37,823
Yeah.
545
00:22:37,823 --> 00:22:39,257
That's all about.
546
00:22:39,257 --> 00:22:40,826
Yeah,
547
00:22:40,826 --> 00:22:41,593
yeah.
548
00:22:41,593 --> 00:22:44,596
The team right?
549
00:22:44,763 --> 00:22:47,766
550
00:22:49,368 --> 00:22:50,602
Well look, look.
551
00:22:50,602 --> 00:22:52,371
What happens to tends to happen
552
00:22:52,371 --> 00:22:53,605
to people like that.
553
00:22:53,605 --> 00:22:55,540
You know where they're not small
554
00:22:55,540 --> 00:22:56,541
and they're not closed off
555
00:22:56,541 --> 00:22:57,476
and what have you,
556
00:22:57,476 --> 00:22:59,711
they just seem to grow exponentially
557
00:22:59,711 --> 00:23:00,746
with these relationships.
558
00:23:00,746 --> 00:23:02,447
And part of the reason I believe,
559
00:23:02,447 --> 00:23:05,317
is why, they say that 80%
560
00:23:05,317 --> 00:23:06,251
of your deepest,
561
00:23:06,251 --> 00:23:07,185
most profitable
562
00:23:07,185 --> 00:23:08,920
relationships still come from face
563
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:10,021
to face
564
00:23:10,021 --> 00:23:12,124
is as much as online is still,
565
00:23:12,124 --> 00:23:14,493
you know, a big part of people's lives.
566
00:23:14,493 --> 00:23:16,461
There's something about being in a room
567
00:23:16,461 --> 00:23:19,464
with somebody reading body language,
568
00:23:19,631 --> 00:23:20,265
sitting there
569
00:23:20,265 --> 00:23:22,701
having having a drink with somebody
570
00:23:22,701 --> 00:23:23,935
and just
571
00:23:23,935 --> 00:23:25,537
sharing that type of communication
572
00:23:25,537 --> 00:23:26,671
is still more powerful
573
00:23:26,671 --> 00:23:27,773
than anything that's out there.
574
00:23:28,907 --> 00:23:30,976
So I talked about the
575
00:23:30,976 --> 00:23:33,979
buffet, Give Wood for business magazine
576
00:23:33,979 --> 00:23:35,013
a big nod to,
577
00:23:35,013 --> 00:23:38,116
I mean, Kim and him do great articles.
578
00:23:39,017 --> 00:23:40,352
So sharing that way,
579
00:23:40,352 --> 00:23:40,585
you know,
580
00:23:40,585 --> 00:23:42,020
reaching out, saying, look, I got,
581
00:23:42,020 --> 00:23:43,588
I'm doing a pretty cool project.
582
00:23:43,588 --> 00:23:44,723
I think they would embrace that.
583
00:23:44,723 --> 00:23:46,291
I actually, I know that they would.
584
00:23:46,291 --> 00:23:48,360
I've seen him do it so many times.
585
00:23:48,360 --> 00:23:51,997
Is a great way of networking.
586
00:23:51,997 --> 00:23:52,631
And also,
587
00:23:52,631 --> 00:23:55,634
the wood for business magazine came out
588
00:23:56,401 --> 00:23:57,335
and, the
589
00:23:57,335 --> 00:24:00,439
2026, for Flooring Industry Guide.
590
00:24:01,239 --> 00:24:02,541
And there's some
591
00:24:02,541 --> 00:24:04,743
interesting information out here,
592
00:24:04,743 --> 00:24:05,510
and I'll see if I can find
593
00:24:05,510 --> 00:24:07,179
a few of them here.
594
00:24:07,179 --> 00:24:10,615
40 plus new exhibitors, 180
595
00:24:10,615 --> 00:24:11,550
returning exhibitors.
596
00:24:11,550 --> 00:24:14,386
So I just, You know.
597
00:24:14,386 --> 00:24:15,687
60% of the people attending
598
00:24:15,687 --> 00:24:17,189
are the decision makers at the job,
599
00:24:17,189 --> 00:24:17,889
but you
600
00:24:17,889 --> 00:24:20,025
you think it's important to go to a,
601
00:24:20,025 --> 00:24:21,626
an event like that, I think is
602
00:24:21,626 --> 00:24:22,994
wildly important.
603
00:24:27,866 --> 00:24:29,000
I know you don't get a go,
604
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,335
and I,
605
00:24:30,335 --> 00:24:31,603
webinars, all the webinars,
606
00:24:31,603 --> 00:24:33,405
they do the process.
607
00:24:33,405 --> 00:24:35,040
No. Much.
608
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,043
Yeah.
609
00:24:39,244 --> 00:24:42,247
Yeah.
610
00:24:42,914 --> 00:24:45,917
You're going.
611
00:24:46,117 --> 00:24:47,219
Really?
612
00:24:47,219 --> 00:24:50,222
Why?
613
00:24:50,388 --> 00:24:51,323
I mean.
614
00:24:51,323 --> 00:24:53,792
I see why I've always seen why.
615
00:24:53,792 --> 00:24:54,292
But why?
616
00:24:54,292 --> 00:24:55,060
This year,
617
00:24:55,060 --> 00:24:58,063
they finally did the right thing.
618
00:25:12,644 --> 00:25:13,211
Wow.
619
00:25:13,211 --> 00:25:16,214
Wow.
620
00:25:18,850 --> 00:25:19,818
Well,
621
00:25:19,818 --> 00:25:21,386
I'm thrilled that you're going to go.
622
00:25:21,386 --> 00:25:23,522
Yeah.
623
00:25:23,522 --> 00:25:24,890
So. Yeah.
624
00:25:24,890 --> 00:25:26,291
This is, is as Eileen
625
00:25:26,291 --> 00:25:29,294
is, has been to you.
626
00:25:31,596 --> 00:25:31,863
Yeah.
627
00:25:31,863 --> 00:25:34,533
Yeah.
628
00:25:34,533 --> 00:25:37,502
Wow.
629
00:25:37,802 --> 00:25:38,403
Yeah.
630
00:25:38,403 --> 00:25:40,171
Oh that's good.
631
00:25:40,171 --> 00:25:43,174
So.
632
00:25:46,878 --> 00:25:47,612
See it's
633
00:25:47,612 --> 00:25:48,947
a networking between her
634
00:25:48,947 --> 00:25:51,016
and Eileen or her and Pauline.
635
00:25:51,016 --> 00:25:54,119
One of those little angel leans
636
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,122
that the, the lean sisters.
637
00:25:57,122 --> 00:25:59,958
Eileen and Pauline.
638
00:25:59,958 --> 00:26:03,461
So anyhow, I just, I thought it'd be,
639
00:26:04,262 --> 00:26:06,464
something important to talk about.
640
00:26:06,464 --> 00:26:09,334
I, it's something in the in the past
641
00:26:09,334 --> 00:26:10,168
that we used to,
642
00:26:10,168 --> 00:26:11,436
you know, kind of like I say,
643
00:26:11,436 --> 00:26:12,704
turn our nose up
644
00:26:12,704 --> 00:26:14,940
or or think we're too busy to do it,
645
00:26:14,940 --> 00:26:16,708
but, working this into your schedule,
646
00:26:16,708 --> 00:26:18,176
and it might be just some of your job
647
00:26:18,176 --> 00:26:21,179
that's dedicated to to this,
648
00:26:21,179 --> 00:26:22,347
Carter floors
649
00:26:22,347 --> 00:26:24,883
hardwood up in, up in Michigan.
650
00:26:24,883 --> 00:26:26,618
Also does a great job with networking.
651
00:26:26,618 --> 00:26:27,452
And there's another thing
652
00:26:27,452 --> 00:26:28,987
he does every year
653
00:26:28,987 --> 00:26:30,555
that, is very impressive.
654
00:26:30,555 --> 00:26:32,357
He gives back to this cancer thing.
655
00:26:33,458 --> 00:26:34,893
I mean, I'm.
656
00:26:34,893 --> 00:26:35,660
Apologizing for
657
00:26:35,660 --> 00:26:36,661
exactly what it was for,
658
00:26:36,661 --> 00:26:39,664
but I seen him wearing a pink outfit,
659
00:26:39,864 --> 00:26:42,434
and I assume that's not his daily wear.
660
00:26:42,434 --> 00:26:45,470
So, I know that that that's that's
661
00:26:45,570 --> 00:26:47,005
something they give back every year
662
00:26:47,005 --> 00:26:47,372
for that.
663
00:26:47,372 --> 00:26:49,174
Or they, they do like communities.
664
00:26:49,174 --> 00:26:51,309
Community stuff is important.
665
00:26:51,309 --> 00:26:52,811
You get your name out there.
666
00:26:52,811 --> 00:26:53,912
You get regularly.
667
00:26:53,912 --> 00:26:55,246
I don't that's not why they do that,
668
00:26:55,246 --> 00:26:59,384
but I it I believe in karma and,
669
00:26:59,384 --> 00:27:01,019
and, and,
670
00:27:01,019 --> 00:27:02,120
I think that comes back to you
671
00:27:02,120 --> 00:27:04,122
tenfold when you do stuff like that.
672
00:27:04,122 --> 00:27:04,356
You know
673
00:27:04,356 --> 00:27:05,824
the other thing about networking.
674
00:27:05,824 --> 00:27:06,558
I mean, you know,
675
00:27:06,558 --> 00:27:07,826
we're talking about networking,
676
00:27:07,826 --> 00:27:10,362
but networking is just another way
677
00:27:10,362 --> 00:27:12,030
to make more money
678
00:27:12,030 --> 00:27:14,265
without having to do more square footage.
679
00:27:15,967 --> 00:27:17,636
That that's what it comes down to.
680
00:27:17,636 --> 00:27:18,837
We at our
681
00:27:18,837 --> 00:27:19,638
a convention,
682
00:27:19,638 --> 00:27:20,772
they wanted me to do
683
00:27:20,772 --> 00:27:25,010
a, a thing on, machines
684
00:27:25,010 --> 00:27:28,313
and upkeep of the machines and things
685
00:27:28,313 --> 00:27:28,813
like that.
686
00:27:28,813 --> 00:27:29,948
So, you know,
687
00:27:29,948 --> 00:27:30,682
we had the boner,
688
00:27:30,682 --> 00:27:32,517
machine guys in there,
689
00:27:32,517 --> 00:27:35,053
Bobby and Corinne, and they're just.
690
00:27:35,053 --> 00:27:36,588
They're just amazing.
691
00:27:36,588 --> 00:27:39,124
And I, you know, she's.
692
00:27:39,124 --> 00:27:41,326
I think at one of the seminars
693
00:27:41,326 --> 00:27:41,793
that we did,
694
00:27:41,793 --> 00:27:42,661
we probably had
695
00:27:42,661 --> 00:27:45,296
close to 300 people there.
696
00:27:45,296 --> 00:27:47,132
And I was kind of asking Corinne
697
00:27:47,132 --> 00:27:47,966
some different things
698
00:27:47,966 --> 00:27:50,869
about the power scrubber.
699
00:27:50,869 --> 00:27:53,872
And then, a guy asked a question
700
00:27:54,806 --> 00:27:56,141
and then it took off.
701
00:27:56,141 --> 00:28:00,011
It was crazy because then we started
702
00:28:00,311 --> 00:28:03,314
there was probably 6 or 7 guys
703
00:28:03,648 --> 00:28:05,216
who were saying
704
00:28:05,216 --> 00:28:07,686
how they used the power scrubber.
705
00:28:07,686 --> 00:28:09,988
And then I started hearing guys saying,
706
00:28:09,988 --> 00:28:12,323
geez, I never thought about Yeah.
707
00:28:13,458 --> 00:28:15,393
doing that with the power scrubber.
708
00:28:15,393 --> 00:28:16,528
Or really,
709
00:28:16,528 --> 00:28:17,996
you did that with a power scrubber
710
00:28:17,996 --> 00:28:18,530
design.
711
00:28:18,530 --> 00:28:21,533
Never thought about going that and,
712
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,401
it was just like I said, it was just
713
00:28:23,401 --> 00:28:25,303
guys just finding out
714
00:28:25,303 --> 00:28:26,971
how to what other guys are doing.
715
00:28:26,971 --> 00:28:27,572
They all want
716
00:28:27,572 --> 00:28:29,174
the same piece of equipment,
717
00:28:29,174 --> 00:28:31,743
but what they were doing to,
718
00:28:31,743 --> 00:28:33,044
you know, just
719
00:28:33,044 --> 00:28:34,713
enhance it and make more money with it.
720
00:28:34,713 --> 00:28:38,917
So networking is just I mean, you can't
721
00:28:39,584 --> 00:28:42,587
you can't buy that kind of stuff.
722
00:28:44,522 --> 00:28:46,524
Okay.
723
00:28:46,524 --> 00:28:48,760
so, like, this week,
724
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,528
doing, like,
725
00:28:50,528 --> 00:28:51,429
at a couple of schools
726
00:28:51,429 --> 00:28:52,897
going up here in Toronto.
727
00:28:52,897 --> 00:28:54,199
So we got a two day school
728
00:28:54,199 --> 00:28:55,600
this week in Toronto.
729
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:56,968
If you're around,
730
00:28:56,968 --> 00:28:58,737
on Thursday,
731
00:28:58,737 --> 00:29:00,305
we're going to be doing a Rico class.
732
00:29:00,305 --> 00:29:01,773
Definitely stop in.
733
00:29:01,773 --> 00:29:04,275
And then on Friday, I'll be doing,
734
00:29:04,275 --> 00:29:05,744
sport class.
735
00:29:05,744 --> 00:29:07,078
So we had a lot
736
00:29:07,078 --> 00:29:08,480
going on up here in Toronto.
737
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,482
And then the week
738
00:29:10,482 --> 00:29:13,818
after the Thanksgiving week,
739
00:29:13,818 --> 00:29:15,687
if you're down by our Jersey
740
00:29:15,687 --> 00:29:17,088
training center
741
00:29:17,088 --> 00:29:20,859
on, Tuesday, we'll be doing a one day
742
00:29:20,859 --> 00:29:21,659
Chrome school.
743
00:29:21,659 --> 00:29:24,095
So if anybody wants to stop in,
744
00:29:24,095 --> 00:29:26,164
don't worry about it. Come on by.
745
00:29:26,164 --> 00:29:27,332
If you're listening
746
00:29:27,332 --> 00:29:29,167
and you want to see the chrome again
747
00:29:29,167 --> 00:29:30,301
or play with it
748
00:29:30,301 --> 00:29:33,238
and, meet the new team there.
749
00:29:33,238 --> 00:29:34,072
Great kid.
750
00:29:34,072 --> 00:29:36,641
Going to love him. A lot of energy.
751
00:29:36,641 --> 00:29:37,976
Funny kid.
752
00:29:37,976 --> 00:29:38,877
I don't know if you've ever.
753
00:29:38,877 --> 00:29:39,711
Have you talked to
754
00:29:40,678 --> 00:29:41,112
No.
755
00:29:41,112 --> 00:29:43,548
No. A
756
00:29:43,548 --> 00:29:46,551
good.
757
00:29:47,418 --> 00:29:50,421
What's his name Dante.
758
00:29:50,655 --> 00:29:51,956
Dante.
759
00:29:51,956 --> 00:29:54,959
We got last name.
760
00:29:55,426 --> 00:29:57,395
Dirty Dante currently is in the Mafia.
761
00:29:57,395 --> 00:30:00,398
762
00:30:03,134 --> 00:30:05,503
There you go.
763
00:30:05,503 --> 00:30:07,438
I go, is your dad in the mob?
764
00:30:07,438 --> 00:30:08,773
And he's
765
00:30:08,773 --> 00:30:09,474
he's like, no,
766
00:30:09,474 --> 00:30:12,510
I No, no, but don't joke about it.
767
00:30:13,778 --> 00:30:16,781
Yeah.
768
00:30:18,349 --> 00:30:21,352
Yeah.
769
00:30:22,954 --> 00:30:23,521
Yeah.
770
00:30:23,521 --> 00:30:24,989
Yeah. Yeah.
771
00:30:24,989 --> 00:30:27,992
Funny boy.
772
00:30:29,527 --> 00:30:30,495
if you're around,
773
00:30:30,495 --> 00:30:31,596
you want to do some network
774
00:30:31,596 --> 00:30:32,864
and see the Chrome.
775
00:30:32,864 --> 00:30:33,865
We're going to be doing a one day
776
00:30:33,865 --> 00:30:36,868
Chrome school in Jersey that
777
00:30:36,935 --> 00:30:38,903
starting in December
778
00:30:38,903 --> 00:30:40,605
we got three schools coming up.
779
00:30:40,605 --> 00:30:41,906
First week in December
780
00:30:41,906 --> 00:30:43,374
we're doing a Christmas school
781
00:30:43,374 --> 00:30:46,377
in, our Charlotte
782
00:30:46,544 --> 00:30:49,547
training center,
783
00:31:00,291 --> 00:31:01,893
This is interesting.
784
00:31:01,893 --> 00:31:03,161
This has never been done before.
785
00:31:03,161 --> 00:31:04,295
I don't think
786
00:31:04,295 --> 00:31:07,498
it's, all all women school.
787
00:31:08,032 --> 00:31:09,534
I think you take these women
788
00:31:09,534 --> 00:31:10,935
in allies of women. Right?
789
00:31:13,471 --> 00:31:14,405
Well, who wouldn't be in
790
00:31:14,405 --> 00:31:17,408
ally of women?
791
00:31:22,180 --> 00:31:25,183
I'll be darn.
792
00:31:34,893 --> 00:31:37,862
Yeah.
793
00:31:38,029 --> 00:31:39,597
Yeah, yeah.
794
00:31:39,597 --> 00:31:41,966
Yep.
795
00:31:41,966 --> 00:31:42,834
I.
796
00:31:42,834 --> 00:31:45,603
we have so many women that
797
00:31:45,603 --> 00:31:46,938
that come to schools.
798
00:31:46,938 --> 00:31:47,772
And, you know,
799
00:31:47,772 --> 00:31:48,573
I got to kind of
800
00:31:48,573 --> 00:31:50,141
drag them up on the panel.
801
00:31:50,141 --> 00:31:51,509
And, you know,
802
00:31:51,509 --> 00:31:53,144
I was talking to Pauline about it one day
803
00:31:53,144 --> 00:31:55,680
and she's like, that's terrible.
804
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,882
You know, she goes, I wouldn't want to
805
00:31:57,882 --> 00:31:59,284
I wouldn't want to do that.
806
00:31:59,284 --> 00:31:59,851
I wouldn't
807
00:31:59,851 --> 00:32:00,285
want you
808
00:32:00,285 --> 00:32:01,219
yanking me up there
809
00:32:01,219 --> 00:32:02,120
and making me do stuff
810
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,656
in front of a bunch of guys, you know?
811
00:32:04,656 --> 00:32:05,924
And I was like, yeah, okay.
812
00:32:05,924 --> 00:32:08,626
And when she came to the Christmas school
813
00:32:08,626 --> 00:32:09,961
last year, I.
814
00:32:09,961 --> 00:32:12,730
Yeah, I yanked her up on the panel.
815
00:32:12,730 --> 00:32:15,733
I was doing the power drive,
816
00:32:48,499 --> 00:32:49,033
Yeah.
817
00:32:49,033 --> 00:32:49,767
No. Yeah.
818
00:32:49,767 --> 00:32:52,603
She's the best. Pauline is awesome. Yeah.
819
00:32:54,272 --> 00:32:55,807
No, she was really.
820
00:32:55,807 --> 00:32:58,309
She thought this was a great idea.
821
00:32:58,309 --> 00:33:01,312
Yeah.
822
00:33:08,886 --> 00:33:09,153
guys.
823
00:33:09,153 --> 00:33:12,390
But she said, this could definitely be,
824
00:33:12,390 --> 00:33:14,492
she thinks this is a great thing,
825
00:33:14,492 --> 00:33:16,661
so I'm psyched
826
00:33:16,661 --> 00:33:19,697
But also it's kind of a nice networking
827
00:33:19,697 --> 00:33:20,698
bonding thing for them.
828
00:33:20,698 --> 00:33:22,266
But I'll tell you what,
829
00:33:22,266 --> 00:33:23,134
there's some women out there
830
00:33:23,134 --> 00:33:24,268
that we both know
831
00:33:24,268 --> 00:33:25,903
that run circles around a lot of guys.
832
00:33:25,903 --> 00:33:27,605
They're great crafts.
833
00:33:27,605 --> 00:33:30,608
People grasp, people grasp.
834
00:33:32,010 --> 00:33:32,477
Yeah.
835
00:33:32,477 --> 00:33:34,112
See that? Yeah.
836
00:33:34,112 --> 00:33:34,946
Craftsman.
837
00:33:34,946 --> 00:33:35,980
I can't be a craftsman.
838
00:33:35,980 --> 00:33:37,815
Craftspeople,
839
00:33:37,815 --> 00:33:39,517
whatever.
840
00:33:39,517 --> 00:33:42,520
But they're they're great.
841
00:33:43,955 --> 00:33:45,456
Probably not too,
842
00:33:45,456 --> 00:33:46,991
there's the sentiment is they're, they're
843
00:33:46,991 --> 00:33:48,593
they're great at what they do.
844
00:33:48,593 --> 00:33:50,061
And there's some,
845
00:33:50,061 --> 00:33:51,095
I mean, some really,
846
00:33:51,095 --> 00:33:52,263
really outstanding ones.
847
00:33:52,263 --> 00:33:53,931
They shouldn't surprise anybody.
848
00:33:53,931 --> 00:33:55,767
But so I'm, I'm,
849
00:33:55,767 --> 00:33:57,435
I'm really excited about that class.
850
00:33:57,435 --> 00:33:58,436
That should be a good class.
851
00:33:58,436 --> 00:34:00,271
And these classes in December,
852
00:34:00,271 --> 00:34:01,172
if I'm not mistaken,
853
00:34:01,172 --> 00:34:04,008
the cost to get in Rob is.
854
00:34:04,008 --> 00:34:07,578
cost to get in is a toy,
855
00:34:08,546 --> 00:34:10,548
a toy or a cash donation.
856
00:34:10,548 --> 00:34:12,817
And we'll go out and buy the toys.
857
00:34:12,817 --> 00:34:15,286
You know, for the last five years,
858
00:34:15,286 --> 00:34:16,487
we've been doing these Christmas calls.
859
00:34:16,487 --> 00:34:17,155
I can't believe it's
860
00:34:17,155 --> 00:34:19,023
been 5 or 6 years now.
861
00:34:19,023 --> 00:34:21,492
We got together with your buddy.
862
00:34:21,492 --> 00:34:23,828
You know, our buddy Frank Capilano,
863
00:34:23,828 --> 00:34:25,496
who does a lot for the toys
864
00:34:25,496 --> 00:34:26,864
for tots, and,
865
00:34:26,864 --> 00:34:28,266
you know, one day
866
00:34:28,266 --> 00:34:29,200
I was talking to Frank,
867
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:29,967
and I said,
868
00:34:29,967 --> 00:34:30,401
you know,
869
00:34:30,401 --> 00:34:31,335
we're doing Christmas
870
00:34:31,335 --> 00:34:33,304
goals, and I think this would be a great.
871
00:34:33,304 --> 00:34:36,140
Rather than charging for the school,
872
00:34:36,140 --> 00:34:37,875
you know, give us a cash donation
873
00:34:37,875 --> 00:34:39,177
or bring a toy.
874
00:34:39,177 --> 00:34:40,311
And I've said it
875
00:34:40,311 --> 00:34:42,713
a thousand times on the show.
876
00:34:42,713 --> 00:34:45,216
It makes my Christmas.
877
00:34:45,216 --> 00:34:47,819
It really does to see
878
00:34:47,819 --> 00:34:51,022
just, you know, big, rough, tough floor
879
00:34:51,022 --> 00:34:54,325
guys who just kill it all year long
880
00:34:54,992 --> 00:34:55,927
and then come to these
881
00:34:55,927 --> 00:34:57,361
Christmas schools and,
882
00:34:57,361 --> 00:34:58,863
you know, we start and because I go,
883
00:34:58,863 --> 00:35:00,498
you know, floor guys never really get a
884
00:35:02,333 --> 00:35:04,502
Yeah.
885
00:35:04,502 --> 00:35:06,204
let's, let's do a school,
886
00:35:06,204 --> 00:35:09,407
but also have some fun and some cheer
887
00:35:09,407 --> 00:35:10,575
and things like that.
888
00:35:10,575 --> 00:35:11,576
And,
889
00:35:11,576 --> 00:35:12,777
but I'll tell you what, Wayne,
890
00:35:12,777 --> 00:35:15,513
that it makes my Christmas season.
891
00:35:15,513 --> 00:35:18,483
Just seeing these big, rough, tough guys
892
00:35:18,649 --> 00:35:21,152
walking in with three foot Barbie dolls
893
00:35:21,152 --> 00:35:22,353
and stuff like that
894
00:35:22,353 --> 00:35:23,855
with just the biggest
895
00:35:23,855 --> 00:35:25,923
smile on their face.
896
00:35:25,923 --> 00:35:28,526
And, you know, guys just
897
00:35:28,526 --> 00:35:30,661
just bringing in tons of stuff
898
00:35:30,661 --> 00:35:32,130
and you always get the same thing.
899
00:35:32,130 --> 00:35:33,197
Hey, do we not,
900
00:35:33,197 --> 00:35:34,365
you know, is there enough?
901
00:35:34,365 --> 00:35:35,433
We'll get more.
902
00:35:35,433 --> 00:35:37,168
We'll bring more tomorrow.
903
00:35:37,168 --> 00:35:37,568
You know,
904
00:35:37,568 --> 00:35:38,302
they just can't
905
00:35:38,302 --> 00:35:41,205
wait to, do it to the other.
906
00:35:41,205 --> 00:35:43,541
And then on the third week,
907
00:35:43,541 --> 00:35:46,244
we will be doing our that.
908
00:35:46,244 --> 00:35:47,979
That will be my last one.
909
00:35:47,979 --> 00:35:49,547
And that will be a third week
910
00:35:49,547 --> 00:35:51,249
in new Jersey.
911
00:35:51,249 --> 00:35:51,849
Same thing.
912
00:35:51,849 --> 00:35:53,751
That's where it all started in Jersey.
913
00:35:53,751 --> 00:35:55,653
So we always going to do one there.
914
00:35:55,653 --> 00:35:58,022
And it's same thing. Toys for tots.
915
00:35:58,022 --> 00:36:01,459
Eileen can you come on and
916
00:36:01,459 --> 00:36:03,327
just talk about the
917
00:36:04,395 --> 00:36:05,263
school
918
00:36:05,263 --> 00:36:08,266
in Colorado at the
919
00:36:08,566 --> 00:36:10,801
bone facility, dates and
920
00:36:10,801 --> 00:36:12,537
and what they're
921
00:36:12,537 --> 00:36:13,337
I don't think they're doing
922
00:36:13,337 --> 00:36:14,005
toys for tots.
923
00:36:14,005 --> 00:36:15,273
I think they're doing a food bank
924
00:36:15,273 --> 00:36:18,276
or something.
925
00:37:00,918 --> 00:37:02,086
Awesome.
926
00:37:02,086 --> 00:37:03,154
And what date is,
927
00:37:03,154 --> 00:37:06,123
What what week is that?
928
00:37:12,663 --> 00:37:13,731
Okay.
929
00:37:13,731 --> 00:37:14,632
Thank you.
930
00:37:14,632 --> 00:37:17,168
So I think that's the third week, right?
931
00:37:17,168 --> 00:37:20,171
Yeah, that's the third
932
00:37:22,340 --> 00:37:24,141
Oh.
933
00:37:24,141 --> 00:37:27,144
Have, you know, I, I,
934
00:37:28,312 --> 00:37:29,914
I donated to, to the,
935
00:37:29,914 --> 00:37:32,917
Denver Food Bank yesterday.
936
00:37:33,384 --> 00:37:36,287
Yeah.
937
00:37:36,287 --> 00:37:37,922
I think I but.
938
00:37:37,922 --> 00:37:41,659
I
939
00:37:42,994 --> 00:37:44,662
might have someplace I have to be
940
00:37:44,662 --> 00:37:46,530
at the same time, I. What?
941
00:37:46,530 --> 00:37:49,533
What are the dates again?
942
00:37:49,567 --> 00:37:50,868
Yeah.
943
00:37:50,868 --> 00:37:53,871
944
00:37:55,006 --> 00:37:58,009
So the eighth.
945
00:38:00,111 --> 00:38:02,413
We really.
946
00:38:02,413 --> 00:38:05,283
I got the night.
947
00:38:05,283 --> 00:38:08,085
Okay.
948
00:38:08,085 --> 00:38:09,453
I could be there on the 11th.
949
00:38:09,453 --> 00:38:10,488
I got to be in Saint Louis
950
00:38:10,488 --> 00:38:11,989
on, the ninth and 10th,
951
00:38:13,190 --> 00:38:13,624
so.
952
00:38:13,624 --> 00:38:14,525
Yeah, but I would definitely.
953
00:38:14,525 --> 00:38:15,593
I wouldn't miss it.
954
00:38:15,593 --> 00:38:17,328
So
955
00:38:17,328 --> 00:38:18,529
I would love to bring Julie.
956
00:38:18,529 --> 00:38:19,730
I'll see if I can get her down there.
957
00:38:19,730 --> 00:38:22,700
Yeah. Okay. Okay, okay.
958
00:38:22,700 --> 00:38:23,768
She'd like to meet everybody
959
00:38:23,768 --> 00:38:26,771
and see your bride again.
960
00:38:27,104 --> 00:38:27,772
Okay, Rob.
961
00:38:27,772 --> 00:38:29,940
Well, we spent enough time on this.
962
00:38:29,940 --> 00:38:31,742
What else you got?
963
00:38:31,742 --> 00:38:32,743
Anything else?
964
00:38:32,743 --> 00:38:34,312
where it's at. We got a lot.
965
00:38:34,312 --> 00:38:35,279
We still got.
966
00:38:35,279 --> 00:38:37,615
We still got a ton of networking
967
00:38:37,615 --> 00:38:39,050
to go for. Bona.
968
00:38:39,050 --> 00:38:41,252
We still got a bunch of schools
969
00:38:41,252 --> 00:38:44,255
that we're doing so we don't stop, baby.
970
00:38:44,288 --> 00:38:45,690
I'm going to say.
971
00:38:45,690 --> 00:38:47,625
But I'm going to say this. So networking.
972
00:38:47,625 --> 00:38:48,459
Some people don't even
973
00:38:48,459 --> 00:38:49,493
have to hear this podcast
974
00:38:49,493 --> 00:38:50,261
they're already good at.
975
00:38:50,261 --> 00:38:50,861
They already know it.
976
00:38:50,861 --> 00:38:52,596
There's a second nature to them
977
00:38:52,596 --> 00:38:54,231
that's part of the personality.
978
00:38:54,231 --> 00:38:55,900
Or their well known
979
00:38:55,900 --> 00:38:56,901
and everybody knows them
980
00:38:56,901 --> 00:38:57,668
and what have you.
981
00:38:57,668 --> 00:38:59,003
You take a guy,
982
00:38:59,003 --> 00:39:00,137
a spray gland and everything.
983
00:39:00,137 --> 00:39:01,539
I mean, he's
984
00:39:01,539 --> 00:39:03,808
he's a master at networking, number one
985
00:39:03,808 --> 00:39:04,241
and two.
986
00:39:04,241 --> 00:39:04,975
His reputation
987
00:39:04,975 --> 00:39:06,610
precedes him everywhere he goes.
988
00:39:06,610 --> 00:39:08,913
But for some people, it's
989
00:39:08,913 --> 00:39:10,614
not second nature. To them, it's.
990
00:39:10,614 --> 00:39:11,716
And they have to get outside
991
00:39:11,716 --> 00:39:13,050
their comfort zone to do this.
992
00:39:13,050 --> 00:39:14,852
I would be one of those guys.
993
00:39:14,852 --> 00:39:17,855
I would I be, you know,
994
00:39:18,522 --> 00:39:19,357
comfortable in this.
995
00:39:19,357 --> 00:39:20,224
That would have to get outside
996
00:39:20,224 --> 00:39:21,892
my comfort zone to do this.
997
00:39:21,892 --> 00:39:23,761
But it's worth it.
998
00:39:23,761 --> 00:39:25,830
It's worth it to get out, reach out,
999
00:39:25,830 --> 00:39:28,599
be a mentor to somebody as someone to be
1000
00:39:28,599 --> 00:39:30,000
a mentor to you,
1001
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,470
join the NWA if they are.
1002
00:39:32,470 --> 00:39:36,540
My gosh, I, the NWA, this is, look,
1003
00:39:37,742 --> 00:39:39,844
if someone was getting into this business
1004
00:39:39,844 --> 00:39:40,411
and he asked me
1005
00:39:40,411 --> 00:39:41,612
was the number one thing I would
1006
00:39:41,612 --> 00:39:44,615
I would do 100%, I'd say join the NWA.
1007
00:39:44,882 --> 00:39:45,816
For all the reasons
1008
00:39:45,816 --> 00:39:47,718
we talked about on this podcast.
1009
00:39:47,718 --> 00:39:50,254
I would be nowhere near anywhere.
1010
00:39:50,254 --> 00:39:52,323
I am in my career right now.
1011
00:39:52,323 --> 00:39:54,458
Not for the NWA thing.
1012
00:39:54,458 --> 00:39:57,461
I can tell you that with 100% certainty.
1013
00:39:58,362 --> 00:40:01,365
So.
1014
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,569
None of your business.
1015
00:40:05,569 --> 00:40:06,937
I don't, I don't,
1016
00:40:06,937 --> 00:40:07,938
I don't have any, I don't,
1017
00:40:07,938 --> 00:40:09,173
I don't have any hang ups about that.
1018
00:40:09,173 --> 00:40:11,509
I'm 65.
1019
00:40:11,509 --> 00:40:14,512
Yeah.
1020
00:40:16,380 --> 00:40:18,616
I think about it.
1021
00:40:18,616 --> 00:40:21,285
You're 63.
1022
00:40:21,285 --> 00:40:22,686
Yeah,
1023
00:40:22,686 --> 00:40:25,456
yeah, yeah, yeah.
1024
00:40:25,456 --> 00:40:28,526
No.
1025
00:40:30,761 --> 00:40:31,061
No.
1026
00:40:31,061 --> 00:40:34,064
And I never will be.
1027
00:40:34,865 --> 00:40:37,868
Then.
1028
00:40:42,173 --> 00:40:44,575
Yeah.
1029
00:40:44,575 --> 00:40:46,444
Yeah.
1030
00:40:46,444 --> 00:40:48,179
we get the magazine.
1031
00:40:48,179 --> 00:40:51,982
I don't use my AARP for anything.
1032
00:40:52,616 --> 00:40:53,717
You know, you get discounts
1033
00:40:53,717 --> 00:40:54,685
for the movies and
1034
00:40:55,786 --> 00:40:57,621
You do.
1035
00:40:57,621 --> 00:41:00,624
1036
00:41:01,325 --> 00:41:02,726
Yeah.
1037
00:41:02,726 --> 00:41:04,161
the reason I'm talking about this,
1038
00:41:04,161 --> 00:41:06,697
you mentioned Wfae.
1039
00:41:06,697 --> 00:41:07,798
Pauline said to me,
1040
00:41:07,798 --> 00:41:10,367
you know, she just got the
1041
00:41:10,367 --> 00:41:13,370
AARP
1042
00:41:13,504 --> 00:41:16,474
Oh.
1043
00:41:22,713 --> 00:41:25,449
No kidding.
1044
00:41:25,449 --> 00:41:28,452
I'll be darn.
1045
00:41:29,887 --> 00:41:32,890
That's pretty good.
1046
00:41:33,491 --> 00:41:33,824
Yeah.
1047
00:41:33,824 --> 00:41:34,992
Yes.
1048
00:41:34,992 --> 00:41:37,561
You're you've made it.
1049
00:41:37,561 --> 00:41:40,531
Yeah.
1050
00:41:43,534 --> 00:41:44,068
Yeah.
1051
00:41:44,068 --> 00:41:44,401
Yeah.
1052
00:41:44,401 --> 00:41:47,404
But see that's like.
1053
00:41:47,938 --> 00:41:48,372
Yeah. It's.
1054
00:41:48,372 --> 00:41:49,406
Oh it's big time.
1055
00:41:49,406 --> 00:41:51,542
Yeah. It is good for him man.
1056
00:41:51,542 --> 00:41:51,976
Yeah.
1057
00:41:51,976 --> 00:41:52,510
Get Rock
1058
00:41:52,510 --> 00:41:55,513
started with all 65 year olds and up.
1059
00:41:55,579 --> 00:41:56,847
Yeah.
1060
00:41:56,847 --> 00:41:58,082
Oh
1061
00:41:58,082 --> 00:42:00,184
all right like David Lee Roth these days.
1062
00:42:00,184 --> 00:42:01,952
Oh man it's ruff.
1063
00:42:01,952 --> 00:42:03,020
Ruff ruff ruff.
1064
00:42:03,020 --> 00:42:04,622
Yeah Lee. Is it.
1065
00:42:04,622 --> 00:42:05,623
Go ahead and jump I wouldn't
1066
00:42:05,623 --> 00:42:06,590
I wouldn't have him jump
1067
00:42:06,590 --> 00:42:09,593
nowadays he'd be cripple himself.
1068
00:42:12,663 --> 00:42:15,032
Yeah.
1069
00:42:15,032 --> 00:42:16,834
No,
1070
00:42:16,834 --> 00:42:18,502
no.
1071
00:42:18,502 --> 00:42:21,138
who we saw that
1072
00:42:21,138 --> 00:42:22,172
he's a great singer,
1073
00:42:22,172 --> 00:42:23,474
but he doesn't have that big,
1074
00:42:23,474 --> 00:42:25,709
crazy voice. Is Bob Seger.
1075
00:42:26,911 --> 00:42:27,811
Bob Seger is one of
1076
00:42:27,811 --> 00:42:29,413
my all time favorites.
1077
00:42:29,413 --> 00:42:31,181
Yeah
1078
00:42:31,181 --> 00:42:34,184
yeah.
1079
00:42:35,452 --> 00:42:38,455
Yeah, yeah.
1080
00:42:41,592 --> 00:42:43,360
Yeah.
1081
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:45,663
I looked at Pauline and my son.
1082
00:42:45,663 --> 00:42:47,264
I go, is it lip sync?
1083
00:42:47,264 --> 00:42:50,267
And I don't think he's
1084
00:42:50,734 --> 00:42:53,737
Voice is still there.
1085
00:42:54,872 --> 00:42:57,441
absolutely amazing.
1086
00:42:57,441 --> 00:42:58,042
But, you know,
1087
00:42:58,042 --> 00:42:59,577
David Lee Roth voice,
1088
00:42:59,577 --> 00:43:02,580
those voices are going to be tough Yeah,
1089
00:43:03,747 --> 00:43:04,548
yeah.
1090
00:43:04,548 --> 00:43:07,451
Seeger, Springsteen, those voices there.
1091
00:43:07,451 --> 00:43:07,785
You know,
1092
00:43:07,785 --> 00:43:10,054
you could keep that going for a while.
1093
00:43:10,054 --> 00:43:13,023
Yeah. Yep. Agreed.
1094
00:43:13,023 --> 00:43:13,624
All right,
1095
00:43:13,624 --> 00:43:15,292
well, listen, we're carrying on now.
1096
00:43:15,292 --> 00:43:15,726
We should.
1097
00:43:15,726 --> 00:43:17,461
We should end this, and,
1098
00:43:17,461 --> 00:43:19,730
