Sorry.

00:00:26,659 --> 00:00:27,394

in the end. Yeah.

 

11

00:00:27,394 --> 00:00:28,461

I thought I was going to leave you.

 

12

00:00:28,461 --> 00:00:29,129

I thought you're going to

 

13

00:00:29,129 --> 00:00:30,330

break into snoring.

 

14

00:00:30,330 --> 00:00:32,732

What's he doing?

 

15

00:00:32,732 --> 00:00:33,433

Well, here we are.

 

16

00:00:33,433 --> 00:00:37,704

17

00:00:37,804 --> 00:00:41,908

Day 562.

 

18

00:00:41,975 --> 00:00:42,776

Do you know we're.

 

19

00:00:42,776 --> 00:00:45,678

We're about halfway through

 

20

00:00:45,678 --> 00:00:49,883

year number six of this show.

 

21

00:00:49,949 --> 00:00:50,717

that's amazing.

 

22

00:00:50,717 --> 00:00:51,384

And I know

 

23

00:00:51,384 --> 00:00:53,353

and I apologize to our to our viewers.

 

24

00:00:53,353 --> 00:00:54,621

I know we've done more repeats

 

25

00:00:54,621 --> 00:00:56,489

than we ever have this year.

 

26

00:00:56,489 --> 00:00:58,992

The schedule's been incredible.

 

27

00:00:58,992 --> 00:01:00,660

And Rob had a negotiations

 

28

00:01:00,660 --> 00:01:02,762

contract issue.

 

29

00:01:02,762 --> 00:01:04,397

We had to fight through.

 

30

00:01:04,397 --> 00:01:07,033

And he was a stickler on that.

 

31

00:01:07,033 --> 00:01:08,568

I get

 

32

00:01:08,568 --> 00:01:09,436

I get

 

33

00:01:09,436 --> 00:01:14,040

joined me on the picket line cause I I.

 

34

00:01:14,140 --> 00:01:15,508

I guess you like him and EMS

 

35

00:01:15,508 --> 00:01:17,243

because you held out

 

36

00:01:17,243 --> 00:01:19,579

as long as you possibly could.

 

37

00:01:19,579 --> 00:01:22,549

no green Yeah.

 

38

00:01:22,615 --> 00:01:23,683

All right.

 

39

00:01:23,683 --> 00:01:26,186

You No green Eminem's.

 

40

00:01:26,186 --> 00:01:27,320

all right, Rob?

 

41

00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:28,221

We're going to talk today

 

42

00:01:28,221 --> 00:01:29,889

about our new product.

 

43

00:01:29,889 --> 00:01:30,757

Here we go again.

 

44

00:01:30,757 --> 00:01:32,292

I mean, every every

 

45

00:01:32,292 --> 00:01:33,460

sometimes twice a year,

 

46

00:01:33,460 --> 00:01:34,427

it seems like we're coming out

 

47

00:01:34,427 --> 00:01:35,795

with a new product.

 

48

00:01:35,795 --> 00:01:36,996

And this one, you know,

 

49

00:01:36,996 --> 00:01:38,331

this is very exciting

 

50

00:01:38,331 --> 00:01:38,631

to me,

 

51

00:01:38,631 --> 00:01:42,769

close to home for me, which is Bono Rogan

 

52

00:01:42,836 --> 00:01:45,438

and Wait, here, wait.

 

53

00:01:45,438 --> 00:01:49,442

The roll guard

 

54

00:01:49,542 --> 00:01:51,578

here, I do,

 

55

00:01:51,578 --> 00:01:54,347

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

 

56

00:01:54,347 --> 00:01:56,449

Very nice.

 

57

00:01:56,449 --> 00:01:56,749

Boy.

 

58

00:01:56,749 --> 00:02:00,687

Look at you.

 

59

00:02:00,787 --> 00:02:01,354

Yeah.

 

60

00:02:01,354 --> 00:02:01,955

I mean, when you're

 

61

00:02:01,955 --> 00:02:03,957

trying to tell the marketing people this

 

62

00:02:03,957 --> 00:02:07,427

and they you from the meeting,

 

63

00:02:07,494 --> 00:02:08,995

I said it on the last podcast.

 

64

00:02:08,995 --> 00:02:10,763

Rob, you're not a gambler. I'm not a GM.

 

65

00:02:10,763 --> 00:02:11,664

I used to gamble a little bit

 

66

00:02:11,664 --> 00:02:12,198

when I was young

 

67

00:02:12,198 --> 00:02:13,366

and I didn't have any money

 

68

00:02:13,366 --> 00:02:15,635

and I don't I don't gamble.

 

69

00:02:15,635 --> 00:02:17,036

But the number one rule of gambling

 

70

00:02:17,036 --> 00:02:19,839

is don't bet more than you can afford.

 

71

00:02:19,839 --> 00:02:22,509

And you know,

 

72

00:02:22,509 --> 00:02:24,144

it's a game of chance

 

73

00:02:24,144 --> 00:02:25,879

in math is universal.

 

74

00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:26,779

It's a universal language.

 

75

00:02:26,779 --> 00:02:28,181

And it doesn't lie.

 

76

00:02:28,181 --> 00:02:29,983

You roll the dice so many times

 

77

00:02:29,983 --> 00:02:32,519

and you know, eventually, you know,

 

78

00:02:32,519 --> 00:02:34,087

it stands to reason

 

79

00:02:34,087 --> 00:02:39,425

that you might get caught.

 

80

00:02:39,526 --> 00:02:40,994

Contractors rarely have

 

81

00:02:40,994 --> 00:02:45,298

optimum conditions to to

 

82

00:02:45,398 --> 00:02:46,666

install flooring

 

83

00:02:46,666 --> 00:02:47,133

sorry,

 

84

00:02:47,133 --> 00:02:49,602

getting bugs to your install flooring.

 

85

00:02:49,602 --> 00:02:52,272

And this what this does the roll guard

 

86

00:02:52,272 --> 00:02:56,309

is it allows

 

87

00:02:56,409 --> 00:02:59,812

I'm just the phone never stops you know

 

88

00:02:59,879 --> 00:03:01,147

so yeah.

 

89

00:03:01,147 --> 00:03:03,149

easy.

 

90

00:03:03,149 --> 00:03:04,884

Yeah

 

91

00:03:04,884 --> 00:03:06,886

No I don't do

 

92

00:03:06,886 --> 00:03:10,623

those things.

 

93

00:03:10,723 --> 00:03:11,691

Although you know,

 

94

00:03:11,691 --> 00:03:12,559

I tell you what,

 

95

00:03:12,559 --> 00:03:17,463

before we go any further,

 

96

00:03:17,564 --> 00:03:18,965

you know, you and I,

 

97

00:03:18,965 --> 00:03:19,299

we're

 

98

00:03:19,299 --> 00:03:19,866

this is like,

 

99

00:03:19,866 --> 00:03:23,436

may know, this is November what, fourth,

 

100

00:03:23,536 --> 00:03:28,575

Third, November of really?

 

101

00:03:28,675 --> 00:03:29,442

It's your phone.

 

102

00:03:29,442 --> 00:03:30,677

Look at your text messages.

 

103

00:03:30,677 --> 00:03:35,548

Monday, the fourth

 

104

00:03:35,615 --> 00:03:38,284

tomorrow tomorrow's tomorrow's Tuesday.

 

105

00:03:38,284 --> 00:03:41,087

And you know, you and I,

 

106

00:03:41,087 --> 00:03:43,723

we never weigh in on stuff like this.

 

107

00:03:43,723 --> 00:03:44,657

And I mean, you know,

 

108

00:03:44,657 --> 00:03:45,258

we know that

 

109

00:03:45,258 --> 00:03:47,393

the country is pretty divided

 

110

00:03:47,393 --> 00:03:49,862

and this is something that

 

111

00:03:49,862 --> 00:03:53,967

a topic we don't ever really

 

112

00:03:54,067 --> 00:03:56,002

go to very often.

 

113

00:03:56,002 --> 00:04:01,374

But I'm going to weigh in here, Rob.

 

114

00:04:01,441 --> 00:04:02,075

Yep.

 

115

00:04:02,075 --> 00:04:06,012

But I'm going to want to weigh in here.

 

116

00:04:06,079 --> 00:04:08,581

You can do things that most of us can't.

 

117

00:04:08,581 --> 00:04:10,083

Well,

 

118

00:04:10,083 --> 00:04:13,553

that

 

119

00:04:13,620 --> 00:04:14,988

and I think

 

120

00:04:14,988 --> 00:04:17,056

a little bit I'd say

 

121

00:04:17,056 --> 00:04:18,391

everybody is divided on this.

 

122

00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:19,759

And I,

 

123

00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:20,994

I usually don't

 

124

00:04:20,994 --> 00:04:21,961

put my opinion out there,

 

125

00:04:21,961 --> 00:04:24,831

but I want to today,

 

126

00:04:24,831 --> 00:04:27,734

November 4th,

 

127

00:04:27,734 --> 00:04:29,936

cleats are staples.

 

128

00:04:29,936 --> 00:04:32,105

I'm going to go with Staples,

 

129

00:04:32,105 --> 00:04:35,108

the cleats, rather.

 

130

00:04:35,208 --> 00:04:37,010

I don't care what anybody says.

 

131

00:04:37,010 --> 00:04:40,013

I'm going with cleats.

 

132

00:04:40,046 --> 00:04:41,514

I am. I am. Yeah.

 

133

00:04:41,514 --> 00:04:44,751

I got to look at it more.

 

134

00:04:44,817 --> 00:04:47,020

Well,

 

135

00:04:47,020 --> 00:04:50,023

here's a thing.

 

136

00:04:50,056 --> 00:04:51,424

Well,

 

137

00:04:51,424 --> 00:04:54,794

yes, there's an exception to this rule.

 

138

00:04:54,861 --> 00:04:56,929

And that exception is this.

 

139

00:04:56,929 --> 00:05:00,700

If it's on OSB, I'm back to Staples.

 

140

00:05:00,767 --> 00:05:02,268

If it's on that type of sub floor,

 

141

00:05:02,268 --> 00:05:03,803

I'm back to Staples

 

142

00:05:03,803 --> 00:05:05,538

because I've done too many insurance jobs

 

143

00:05:05,538 --> 00:05:06,272

and I try to

 

144

00:05:06,272 --> 00:05:06,706

pull out

 

145

00:05:06,706 --> 00:05:08,007

boards that were installed

 

146

00:05:08,007 --> 00:05:09,976

with with cleats

 

147

00:05:09,976 --> 00:05:11,444

and they just fly out

 

148

00:05:11,444 --> 00:05:12,979

when I'm taking them out.

 

149

00:05:12,979 --> 00:05:17,483

And so that's my only caveat.

 

150

00:05:17,550 --> 00:05:20,053

Let's say you plywood.

 

151

00:05:20,053 --> 00:05:21,854

would sub floors, plywood, sub floors.

 

152

00:05:21,854 --> 00:05:24,257

I'm

 

153

00:05:24,257 --> 00:05:27,260

all day long.

 

154

00:05:27,327 --> 00:05:28,428

Yep.

 

155

00:05:28,428 --> 00:05:30,330

I don't care what anybody says

 

156

00:05:30,330 --> 00:05:32,932

about that.

 

157

00:05:32,932 --> 00:05:34,667

All right.

 

158

00:05:34,667 --> 00:05:35,535

All right.

 

159

00:05:35,535 --> 00:05:37,170

day before the big election.

 

160

00:05:37,170 --> 00:05:40,940

And Wayne Islander has endorsed

 

161

00:05:41,007 --> 00:05:45,845

both.

 

162

00:05:45,945 --> 00:05:47,280

I did a report one time

 

163

00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:48,481

when I first went to work for Boeing

 

164

00:05:48,481 --> 00:05:51,084

and my boss had me do a report

 

165

00:05:51,084 --> 00:05:52,885

as a new territory manager,

 

166

00:05:52,885 --> 00:05:54,120

and he wanted me to report

 

167

00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:58,257

on the on the on the territory.

 

168

00:05:58,324 --> 00:06:01,260

And this report went on and on.

 

169

00:06:01,260 --> 00:06:03,329

And I'm all over the place, man. I am.

 

170

00:06:03,329 --> 00:06:07,300

I am absolutely all over the place.

 

171

00:06:07,367 --> 00:06:10,370

Got an added bonus

 

172

00:06:10,403 --> 00:06:11,971

and I couldn't kill this report.

 

173

00:06:11,971 --> 00:06:12,972

I couldn't

 

174

00:06:12,972 --> 00:06:14,173

there was like no place to stop,

 

175

00:06:14,173 --> 00:06:17,076

but I just kept going like a moron.

 

176

00:06:17,176 --> 00:06:18,378

And finally at the end I

 

177

00:06:18,378 --> 00:06:21,347

said, And if you're still reading this,

 

178

00:06:21,481 --> 00:06:24,617

whatever is my, my, my final,

 

179

00:06:24,617 --> 00:06:26,552

my final conclusion.

 

180

00:06:26,552 --> 00:06:29,055

So I've been known to bounce

 

181

00:06:29,055 --> 00:06:30,490

around a little bit,

 

182

00:06:30,490 --> 00:06:33,493

but so here's the thing

 

183

00:06:33,493 --> 00:06:36,496

with regard.

 

184

00:06:36,562 --> 00:06:37,130

Contractors

 

185

00:06:37,130 --> 00:06:38,398

really have optimum conditions

 

186

00:06:38,398 --> 00:06:39,799

to install the flaws.

 

187

00:06:39,799 --> 00:06:40,933

We know that.

 

188

00:06:40,933 --> 00:06:42,935

The exciting thing about this, though,

 

189

00:06:42,935 --> 00:06:43,669

is that, you know,

 

190

00:06:43,669 --> 00:06:45,438

we've been wanting something.

 

191

00:06:45,438 --> 00:06:46,839

We something that dries

 

192

00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,007

within a couple of hours.

 

193

00:06:48,007 --> 00:06:50,109

Okay, Two, 3 hours.

 

194

00:06:50,109 --> 00:06:51,778

Our 540 is not going to go away.

 

195

00:06:51,778 --> 00:06:52,979

A lot of people know that's our moisture

 

196

00:06:52,979 --> 00:06:54,747

barrier that we have out there now.

 

197

00:06:54,747 --> 00:06:57,884

And and the roll

 

198

00:06:57,884 --> 00:06:59,218

guard

 

199

00:06:59,218 --> 00:07:00,987

is a couple of unique things about it.

 

200

00:07:00,987 --> 00:07:03,556

Number one, it's a sailing based product.

 

201

00:07:03,556 --> 00:07:04,824

Okay.

 

202

00:07:04,824 --> 00:07:06,659

That very actually very unique

 

203

00:07:06,659 --> 00:07:09,929

to us and in team.

 

204

00:07:10,029 --> 00:07:11,164

And I'll tell you what,

 

205

00:07:11,164 --> 00:07:12,165

when you come out with

 

206

00:07:12,165 --> 00:07:13,733

this type of product,

 

207

00:07:13,733 --> 00:07:14,967

there's there's other products

 

208

00:07:14,967 --> 00:07:16,469

could come out with,

 

209

00:07:16,469 --> 00:07:18,271

but we would have to change the formula

 

210

00:07:18,271 --> 00:07:19,705

of our adhesives to make this work.

 

211

00:07:19,705 --> 00:07:21,073

And Boneham won't do that.

 

212

00:07:21,073 --> 00:07:24,444

And I'll tell you the reason why

 

213

00:07:24,510 --> 00:07:24,977

we don't

 

214

00:07:24,977 --> 00:07:27,947

use lid or tin in our eyes if

 

215

00:07:27,980 --> 00:07:29,115

we're selling adhesive,

 

216

00:07:29,115 --> 00:07:30,183

not a modified say name, that's

 

217

00:07:30,183 --> 00:07:31,017

we don't do it

 

218

00:07:31,017 --> 00:07:33,152

because we don't feel like it's good

 

219

00:07:33,152 --> 00:07:33,920

for the environment.

 

220

00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:34,687

We don't do it

 

221

00:07:34,687 --> 00:07:36,856

also because it's it's often series.

 

222

00:07:36,856 --> 00:07:38,524

So that's just our stance.

 

223

00:07:38,524 --> 00:07:41,160

We won't use letter tin in our products

 

224

00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,398

so therefore having a compatible adhesive

 

225

00:07:45,565 --> 00:07:46,132

excuse me

 

226

00:07:46,132 --> 00:07:47,300

a moisture

 

227

00:07:47,300 --> 00:07:49,001

retarder for the subfloor

 

228

00:07:49,001 --> 00:07:50,870

is more of a challenge for us.

 

229

00:07:50,870 --> 00:07:54,740

But our doctor well, our scientist Dr.

 

230

00:07:54,740 --> 00:07:56,375

Brokamp and doctor out to

 

231

00:07:56,375 --> 00:07:57,343

you worked on this

 

232

00:07:57,343 --> 00:07:58,678

and now they have this product.

 

233

00:07:58,678 --> 00:07:59,712

It's a sailing

 

234

00:07:59,712 --> 00:08:02,415

which is here's why this is unique now.

 

235

00:08:02,415 --> 00:08:03,416

It's it's a product

 

236

00:08:03,416 --> 00:08:05,318

that's green Guard gold certified.

 

237

00:08:05,318 --> 00:08:07,753

Okay, that that's not Green Guard.

 

238

00:08:07,753 --> 00:08:08,187

I mean,

 

239

00:08:08,187 --> 00:08:10,289

there's a distinct difference there.

 

240

00:08:10,289 --> 00:08:11,491

And the nice thing about

 

241

00:08:11,491 --> 00:08:12,959

this is if you look at our system

 

242

00:08:12,959 --> 00:08:14,160

now, Rob,

 

243

00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:15,795

from the very beginning

 

244

00:08:15,795 --> 00:08:16,863

to the very end

 

245

00:08:16,863 --> 00:08:18,531

of doing your hardwood floor,

 

246

00:08:18,531 --> 00:08:20,233

if you want to tell a consumer

 

247

00:08:20,233 --> 00:08:22,635

that we'll do everything on your floor

 

248

00:08:22,635 --> 00:08:25,171

is going to be green guard gold products.

 

249

00:08:25,171 --> 00:08:26,405

If you start at the subfloor,

 

250

00:08:26,405 --> 00:08:27,874

we have a vulnerable guard,

 

251

00:08:27,874 --> 00:08:29,509

which is Green guard gold.

 

252

00:08:29,509 --> 00:08:30,743

We have bonus adhesive,

 

253

00:08:30,743 --> 00:08:32,278

which is green guard gold,

 

254

00:08:32,278 --> 00:08:33,045

We have bone

 

255

00:08:33,045 --> 00:08:35,047

chroma stain, which is green guard gold.

 

256

00:08:35,047 --> 00:08:36,282

We have bonded clear seal,

 

257

00:08:36,282 --> 00:08:38,317

which is green Guard gold, mono traffic.

 

258

00:08:38,317 --> 00:08:39,819

Go and bonus

 

259

00:08:39,819 --> 00:08:41,721

for having HD are also green guard gold.

 

260

00:08:41,721 --> 00:08:44,223

And not only that our cleaners are green

 

261

00:08:44,223 --> 00:08:45,525

guard gold.

 

262

00:08:45,525 --> 00:08:48,094

So you've got a system now

 

263

00:08:48,094 --> 00:08:49,762

when you talk about a differentiator

 

264

00:08:49,762 --> 00:08:52,765

you talk about a and I can send you

 

265

00:08:52,932 --> 00:08:57,270

these these products later

 

266

00:08:57,370 --> 00:08:58,571

to separate yourself from

 

267

00:08:58,571 --> 00:08:59,539

everybody else

 

268

00:08:59,539 --> 00:09:01,641

at the time of the estimate.

 

269

00:09:01,641 --> 00:09:03,476

And, you know, green card

 

270

00:09:03,476 --> 00:09:05,044

gold used to mean that certificates

 

271

00:09:05,044 --> 00:09:05,945

used to mean safe

 

272

00:09:05,945 --> 00:09:08,948

for children, schools and hospitals.

 

273

00:09:08,981 --> 00:09:09,282

Right.

 

274

00:09:09,282 --> 00:09:09,715

Children

 

275

00:09:09,715 --> 00:09:12,084

because their lungs are still developing.

 

276

00:09:12,084 --> 00:09:13,653

You know, they're closer to the floor

 

277

00:09:13,653 --> 00:09:14,453

and what have you.

 

278

00:09:14,453 --> 00:09:16,789

And and and, you know, hospitals,

 

279

00:09:16,789 --> 00:09:18,658

we obviously have to have pristine

 

280

00:09:18,658 --> 00:09:20,593

environments, what have you.

 

281

00:09:20,593 --> 00:09:24,263

So to be able to have

 

282

00:09:24,330 --> 00:09:26,198

products that would be able to be used

 

283

00:09:26,198 --> 00:09:29,669

in the strictest of environments

 

284

00:09:29,769 --> 00:09:30,369

that you could put

 

285

00:09:30,369 --> 00:09:31,137

in someone else's home

 

286

00:09:31,137 --> 00:09:31,804

and not contribute

 

287

00:09:31,804 --> 00:09:33,940

to indoor air pollution, What have you.

 

288

00:09:33,940 --> 00:09:34,974

I talk about

 

289

00:09:34,974 --> 00:09:35,975

I see ads on the

 

290

00:09:35,975 --> 00:09:37,310

sometimes with little girls

 

291

00:09:37,310 --> 00:09:38,110

laying on the floor,

 

292

00:09:38,110 --> 00:09:39,412

playing on the floor,

 

293

00:09:39,412 --> 00:09:41,147

little puppies running around

 

294

00:09:41,147 --> 00:09:43,282

and half inch underneath the floor.

 

295

00:09:43,282 --> 00:09:45,518

A lot of times there's a sea of chemicals

 

296

00:09:45,518 --> 00:09:47,353

and we breathe everything

 

297

00:09:47,353 --> 00:09:48,955

that the chemicals emit

 

298

00:09:48,955 --> 00:09:50,356

in that household.

 

299

00:09:50,356 --> 00:09:52,325

And so they separate yourself

 

300

00:09:52,325 --> 00:09:54,060

from a lot of a lot of people

 

301

00:09:54,060 --> 00:09:55,094

out of your competition.

 

302

00:09:55,094 --> 00:09:56,596

This is a great way to do it.

 

303

00:09:56,596 --> 00:09:59,932

So having a green Guard gold is is huge

 

304

00:09:59,999 --> 00:10:01,767

and having something that dries

 

305

00:10:01,767 --> 00:10:03,669

now within two or 3 hours

 

306

00:10:03,669 --> 00:10:06,405

is also really, really exciting.

 

307

00:10:06,505 --> 00:10:12,378

We did want to

 

308

00:10:12,445 --> 00:10:12,945

we talked

 

309

00:10:12,945 --> 00:10:13,713

about Green Garden

 

310

00:10:13,713 --> 00:10:15,648

certified products and green garden

 

311

00:10:15,648 --> 00:10:16,582

and we talk about it,

 

312

00:10:16,582 --> 00:10:17,650

you know, many times

 

313

00:10:17,650 --> 00:10:19,785

we talked about the school,

 

314

00:10:19,785 --> 00:10:21,654

but this was really a big year.

 

315

00:10:21,654 --> 00:10:24,023

I mean, this was the

 

316

00:10:24,023 --> 00:10:39,538

It's a breakthrough year for us.

 

317

00:10:39,639 --> 00:10:41,173

The stain was always

 

318

00:10:41,173 --> 00:10:45,778

the killer.

 

319

00:10:45,878 --> 00:10:48,881

Yeah.

 

320

00:10:48,981 --> 00:10:50,549

clear seal was.

 

321

00:10:50,549 --> 00:10:50,916

You know,

 

322

00:10:50,916 --> 00:10:52,652

the other Steelers were green guard,

 

323

00:10:52,652 --> 00:10:55,154

but not green Guard gold.

 

324

00:10:55,154 --> 00:10:58,858

Now, with the addition of roll guard,

 

325

00:10:58,958 --> 00:11:01,427

chrome and clear seal,

 

326

00:11:01,427 --> 00:11:04,063

now it is a 100%

 

327

00:11:04,063 --> 00:11:07,600

total Green Guard gold certified package.

 

328

00:11:07,667 --> 00:11:11,337

This is this is huge.

 

329

00:11:11,437 --> 00:11:12,772

From

 

330

00:11:12,772 --> 00:11:13,873

underneath the floor

 

331

00:11:13,873 --> 00:11:15,741

to the top of the floor.

 

332

00:11:15,741 --> 00:11:16,742

Yes.

 

333

00:11:16,742 --> 00:11:18,711

The life or death law.

 

334

00:11:18,711 --> 00:11:19,345

Yeah.

 

335

00:11:19,345 --> 00:11:20,946

So it's exciting.

 

336

00:11:20,946 --> 00:11:23,816

And you know, it's a big deal to Bona.

 

337

00:11:23,816 --> 00:11:26,452

I mean, this is our company, you know,

 

338

00:11:26,452 --> 00:11:27,720

We feel like our responsibility,

 

339

00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:28,320

the industry.

 

340

00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,022

We're in so many homes, millions of homes

 

341

00:11:30,022 --> 00:11:32,324

across the world, really,

 

342

00:11:32,391 --> 00:11:34,660

that we're putting products in there.

 

343

00:11:34,660 --> 00:11:35,561

And not only that,

 

344

00:11:35,561 --> 00:11:36,562

there is installers

 

345

00:11:36,562 --> 00:11:38,898

that are 18 inches off the floor,

 

346

00:11:38,898 --> 00:11:41,600

loving the floor, staying the floor,

 

347

00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:42,968

applying products to the floor.

 

348

00:11:42,968 --> 00:11:43,469

They're breathing

 

349

00:11:43,469 --> 00:11:45,705

that stuff all day long,

 

350

00:11:45,705 --> 00:11:47,406

not for weeks at a time, 8 hours

 

351

00:11:47,406 --> 00:11:48,974

a day, weeks at a time, once

 

352

00:11:48,974 --> 00:11:51,944

a year, decades.

 

353

00:11:51,944 --> 00:11:53,779

It's a big deal to the Bowman

 

354

00:11:53,779 --> 00:11:55,514

family that we put out

 

355

00:11:55,514 --> 00:11:57,249

is responsible products we can.

 

356

00:11:57,249 --> 00:11:59,552

So this is a really big,

 

357

00:11:59,552 --> 00:12:00,986

big deal to the family

 

358

00:12:00,986 --> 00:12:03,989

as well as the company.

 

359

00:12:04,156 --> 00:12:07,159

And

 

360

00:12:07,359 --> 00:12:08,894

at the schools and on the show

 

361

00:12:08,894 --> 00:12:09,395

and everything.

 

362

00:12:09,395 --> 00:12:11,397

We're always trying to give

 

363

00:12:11,397 --> 00:12:12,798

give you some little nuggets

 

364

00:12:12,798 --> 00:12:13,666

to make more money

 

365

00:12:13,666 --> 00:12:16,035

without doing more square footage.

 

366

00:12:16,035 --> 00:12:18,604

If you're not talking about green

 

367

00:12:18,604 --> 00:12:21,173

or gold certified products,

 

368

00:12:21,173 --> 00:12:24,376

you're leaving money on the table.

 

369

00:12:24,443 --> 00:12:28,547

you leaving money on the table.

 

370

00:12:28,614 --> 00:12:30,483

you said on a previous show

 

371

00:12:30,483 --> 00:12:32,752

that I and I agreed with you

 

372

00:12:32,752 --> 00:12:34,420

that if you were to

 

373

00:12:34,420 --> 00:12:37,423

go back and do floors today, you

 

374

00:12:37,423 --> 00:12:37,890

you would

 

375

00:12:37,890 --> 00:12:39,825

you would be a better communicator.

 

376

00:12:39,825 --> 00:12:40,893

And I said the same thing

 

377

00:12:40,893 --> 00:12:42,027

that even though I thought

 

378

00:12:42,027 --> 00:12:43,963

I was a good communicator,

 

379

00:12:43,963 --> 00:12:45,698

I think I said great communicator.

 

380

00:12:45,698 --> 00:12:49,034

I, I did.

 

381

00:12:49,034 --> 00:12:51,203

I was pretty humble about that.

 

382

00:12:51,203 --> 00:12:52,505

And there's another point five.

 

383

00:12:52,505 --> 00:12:53,372

I didn't take it, Rob.

 

384

00:12:53,372 --> 00:12:55,741

I said, Nope, nope, it's not right.

 

385

00:12:55,741 --> 00:12:57,143

I'm Not going to

 

386

00:12:57,143 --> 00:12:59,145

no, I'm going to be real.

 

387

00:12:59,145 --> 00:13:01,147

But the other thing I would do

 

388

00:13:01,147 --> 00:13:04,650

100% is as uses as a sale.

 

389

00:13:04,650 --> 00:13:06,619

So, you know, I, I'd use this.

 

390

00:13:06,619 --> 00:13:08,854

As for what

 

391

00:13:08,854 --> 00:13:11,290

you know, for your own, for your own self

 

392

00:13:11,290 --> 00:13:11,957

and for your

 

393

00:13:11,957 --> 00:13:13,025

for your guys

 

394

00:13:13,025 --> 00:13:16,762

and for them, for your consumers. And

 

395

00:13:16,829 --> 00:13:17,463

I've said this

 

396

00:13:17,463 --> 00:13:18,197

before with

 

397

00:13:18,197 --> 00:13:20,499

let's say with with adhesives,

 

398

00:13:20,499 --> 00:13:22,501

you know, if the consumer knew, like,

 

399

00:13:22,501 --> 00:13:23,435

I don't think that consumers

 

400

00:13:23,435 --> 00:13:24,136

are going to say to you,

 

401

00:13:24,136 --> 00:13:27,139

hey, ABC flaws do you

 

402

00:13:27,139 --> 00:13:28,774

do you have a green card Gold

 

403

00:13:28,774 --> 00:13:29,208

It is it

 

404

00:13:29,208 --> 00:13:30,342

I don't think that's going to come out

 

405

00:13:30,342 --> 00:13:32,011

to be honest with you

 

406

00:13:32,011 --> 00:13:33,312

because they don't know.

 

407

00:13:33,312 --> 00:13:34,013

But if you were to say

 

408

00:13:34,013 --> 00:13:35,514

to a consumer, listen,

 

409

00:13:35,514 --> 00:13:37,082

I have you have two choices here.

 

410

00:13:37,082 --> 00:13:38,217

We have a product,

 

411

00:13:38,217 --> 00:13:40,920

Green Gago Gold certified

 

412

00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:41,987

is good for indoor

 

413

00:13:41,987 --> 00:13:43,088

air quality, doesn't contribute

 

414

00:13:43,088 --> 00:13:44,623

to indoor air pollution,

 

415

00:13:44,623 --> 00:13:45,891

and not to mention

 

416

00:13:45,891 --> 00:13:46,559

all the other features

 

417

00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,894

and benefits of the product.

 

418

00:13:48,894 --> 00:13:50,796

Or you can have this other one

 

419

00:13:50,796 --> 00:13:51,897

with this other technology

 

420

00:13:51,897 --> 00:13:52,565

that pretty

 

421

00:13:52,565 --> 00:13:54,033

has some pretty nasty chemicals in it.

 

422

00:13:54,033 --> 00:13:56,101

Some of them that you're

 

423

00:13:56,101 --> 00:13:58,571

breathing all that you know,

 

424

00:13:58,571 --> 00:14:00,906

that that's included in that product,

 

425

00:14:00,906 --> 00:14:01,740

you have a choice.

 

426

00:14:01,740 --> 00:14:02,842

Which one would they choose?

 

427

00:14:02,842 --> 00:14:03,809

I don't think I don't

 

428

00:14:03,809 --> 00:14:05,311

I think it's a no brainer.

 

429

00:14:05,311 --> 00:14:07,880

So what it does and by the way,

 

430

00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,481

our products can't be shopped

 

431

00:14:09,481 --> 00:14:12,151

in other names at big box stores.

 

432

00:14:12,151 --> 00:14:14,453

So what this does is for you,

 

433

00:14:14,453 --> 00:14:16,655

it gives you more of a boutique feel,

 

434

00:14:16,655 --> 00:14:19,758

a more cottage, feel like we we like

 

435

00:14:19,758 --> 00:14:21,193

we care so much about your indoor

 

436

00:14:21,193 --> 00:14:24,663

air quality that we offer this. So

 

437

00:14:24,763 --> 00:14:26,332

the other thing go ahead.

 

438

00:14:26,332 --> 00:14:28,934

Hold it.

 

439

00:14:28,934 --> 00:14:30,402

Yeah, It's tough to get in on you.

 

440

00:14:30,402 --> 00:14:31,837

You I know. I'm sorry.

 

441

00:14:31,837 --> 00:14:33,405

Yeah, I.

 

442

00:14:33,405 --> 00:14:34,073

but then when you do

 

443

00:14:34,073 --> 00:14:34,874

give me an opening,

 

444

00:14:34,874 --> 00:14:35,941

usually I've,

 

445

00:14:35,941 --> 00:14:38,177

you know, dozed off by then.

 

446

00:14:38,177 --> 00:14:38,510

Well,

 

447

00:14:38,510 --> 00:14:39,445

I hope that you forgot it

 

448

00:14:39,445 --> 00:14:40,579

by the time it comes to you

 

449

00:14:40,579 --> 00:14:42,982

and you've got. Yeah.

 

450

00:14:42,982 --> 00:14:44,083

forgot it.

 

451

00:14:44,083 --> 00:14:47,086

Listen, we're talking about and,

 

452

00:14:47,086 --> 00:14:47,453

you know,

 

453

00:14:47,453 --> 00:14:49,054

I know how sometimes shows get

 

454

00:14:49,054 --> 00:14:50,522

we were able to talk about one thing

 

455

00:14:50,522 --> 00:14:52,558

and we end up talking about another.

 

456

00:14:52,558 --> 00:14:56,328

Go on the Green Guard website, print out

 

457

00:14:56,395 --> 00:14:59,265

how you become green Guard certified

 

458

00:14:59,265 --> 00:15:00,699

and you'll see everything

 

459

00:15:00,699 --> 00:15:02,501

that Bona has to do

 

460

00:15:02,501 --> 00:15:04,069

to get the Green Guard

 

461

00:15:04,069 --> 00:15:05,571

gold certification.

 

462

00:15:05,571 --> 00:15:09,174

Then once you have that, print that out,

 

463

00:15:09,241 --> 00:15:11,543

make a bunch of copies,

 

464

00:15:11,610 --> 00:15:13,946

then go on the bonus website

 

465

00:15:13,946 --> 00:15:15,614

to any of the products that you use

 

466

00:15:15,614 --> 00:15:16,715

and that are Green Guard

 

467

00:15:16,715 --> 00:15:19,385

or, green or gold, let's say.

 

468

00:15:19,385 --> 00:15:22,187

Let's take roll guard, for instance.

 

469

00:15:22,187 --> 00:15:25,190

Go to role guard, Google World Guard,

 

470

00:15:25,291 --> 00:15:27,259

bona roll guard,

 

471

00:15:27,259 --> 00:15:28,727

scroll down the documents

 

472

00:15:28,727 --> 00:15:30,429

and you will see

 

473

00:15:30,429 --> 00:15:33,732

the Green Guard gold certificate.

 

474

00:15:33,799 --> 00:15:37,403

It's just one sheet, a certificate sheet.

 

475

00:15:37,469 --> 00:15:40,439

Now, imagine at the end of the estimate

 

476

00:15:40,439 --> 00:15:41,874

that you hand these people

 

477

00:15:41,874 --> 00:15:43,842

a small packet of,

 

478

00:15:43,842 --> 00:15:44,643

by the way,

 

479

00:15:44,643 --> 00:15:44,977

you know,

 

480

00:15:44,977 --> 00:15:45,544

the Green Guard,

 

481

00:15:45,544 --> 00:15:46,946

I was talking about here's

 

482

00:15:46,946 --> 00:15:47,546

the Green Guard

 

483

00:15:47,546 --> 00:15:49,949

certificate for each product

 

484

00:15:49,949 --> 00:15:51,984

and how they got

 

485

00:15:51,984 --> 00:15:53,285

that Green Guard certificate.

 

486

00:15:53,285 --> 00:15:55,087

It's not just something that we pay

 

487

00:15:55,087 --> 00:15:55,921

a bunch of money for

 

488

00:15:55,921 --> 00:15:58,123

and we get to use their label.

 

489

00:15:58,123 --> 00:16:00,259

You know, all this stuff is real.

 

490

00:16:00,259 --> 00:16:02,594

But I think leaving that behind

 

491

00:16:02,594 --> 00:16:04,229

and what's that going to cost you?

 

492

00:16:04,229 --> 00:16:08,634

$0.05 to make a copy? Not even

 

493

00:16:08,734 --> 00:16:29,421

Yeah.

 

494

00:16:29,488 --> 00:16:30,422

There you go.

 

495

00:16:30,422 --> 00:16:31,423

It's huge.

 

496

00:16:31,423 --> 00:16:36,495

I mean, it's huge and it's free

 

497

00:16:36,562 --> 00:16:37,429

All right, so the green.

 

498

00:16:37,429 --> 00:16:37,863

Our goal,

 

499

00:16:37,863 --> 00:16:41,033

we know scared the Lonely World Guard.

 

500

00:16:41,133 --> 00:16:42,468

We did else here, too.

 

501

00:16:42,468 --> 00:16:46,338

We added some color to it, and we did it

 

502

00:16:46,372 --> 00:16:47,439

based on some feedback

 

503

00:16:47,439 --> 00:16:48,073

where, you know,

 

504

00:16:48,073 --> 00:16:49,074

the consumer pays

 

505

00:16:49,074 --> 00:16:52,378

to do something else to the subfloor

 

506

00:16:52,478 --> 00:16:53,379

that they get to see

 

507

00:16:53,379 --> 00:16:54,546

where their money went to get a see

 

508

00:16:54,546 --> 00:16:55,848

that has been colored and coated

 

509

00:16:55,848 --> 00:16:57,282

and what have you.

 

510

00:16:57,282 --> 00:16:58,484

So I think that's exciting.

 

511

00:16:58,484 --> 00:17:02,087

I think that was a good move on our part.

 

512

00:17:02,154 --> 00:17:03,355

It's rising a little

 

513

00:17:03,355 --> 00:17:06,358

the what's it Velshi's on that zero.

 

514

00:17:06,358 --> 00:17:08,861

Come on. Me

 

515

00:17:08,861 --> 00:17:13,265

Yeah, you're overseas, so

 

516

00:17:13,365 --> 00:17:15,200

you know, it's one component.

 

517

00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:16,502

It's one color coverage.

 

518

00:17:16,502 --> 00:17:17,970

So what's up? Floor?

 

519

00:17:17,970 --> 00:17:19,405

You only ever need to put one coat.

 

520

00:17:19,405 --> 00:17:19,972

In fact, don't

 

521

00:17:19,972 --> 00:17:21,273

ever put any more than one coat.

 

522

00:17:21,273 --> 00:17:23,575

One coats. Enough.

 

523

00:17:23,675 --> 00:17:24,143

in on

 

524

00:17:24,143 --> 00:17:27,146

the wood and concrete.

 

525

00:17:27,312 --> 00:17:28,247

wood and concrete.

 

526

00:17:28,247 --> 00:17:30,149

So concrete we have a choice.

 

527

00:17:30,149 --> 00:17:31,250

When we have

 

528

00:17:31,250 --> 00:17:32,518

wood is always one,

 

529

00:17:32,518 --> 00:17:34,553

never more than one with with concrete.

 

530

00:17:34,553 --> 00:17:36,055

We had two choices here.

 

531

00:17:36,055 --> 00:17:37,022

We can actually give you

 

532

00:17:37,022 --> 00:17:38,624

unlimited moisture protection

 

533

00:17:38,624 --> 00:17:40,359

if you do the following.

 

534

00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,162

If you do two coats of of the road guard

 

535

00:17:43,162 --> 00:17:45,597

with using the 1500 trail,

 

536

00:17:45,597 --> 00:17:46,565

but you still going to get about

 

537

00:17:46,565 --> 00:17:49,034

45 square feet per gallon.

 

538

00:17:49,034 --> 00:17:49,868

We'll give you unlimited

 

539

00:17:49,868 --> 00:17:51,637

choice protection

 

540

00:17:51,637 --> 00:17:52,071

or you do

 

541

00:17:52,071 --> 00:17:53,105

one coat of the road

 

542

00:17:53,105 --> 00:17:55,374

guarded about 250 per liter

 

543

00:17:55,374 --> 00:17:56,975

and use a 1500

 

544

00:17:56,975 --> 00:17:57,810

and we'll give you unlimited

 

545

00:17:57,810 --> 00:17:59,144

on that as well.

 

546

00:17:59,144 --> 00:18:02,414

So great use under under floating

 

547

00:18:02,481 --> 00:18:03,449

type floors.

 

548

00:18:03,449 --> 00:18:08,854

Floating floors themselves.

 

549

00:18:08,954 --> 00:18:11,690

You're using a trial to put this down?

 

550

00:18:11,690 --> 00:18:13,725

No, no, no, no.

 

551

00:18:13,725 --> 00:18:14,860

Here's what I said.

 

552

00:18:14,860 --> 00:18:15,194

You put

 

553

00:18:15,194 --> 00:18:16,695

or use a roller cover to put it down.

 

554

00:18:16,695 --> 00:18:18,764

Thinks maybe

 

555

00:18:18,764 --> 00:18:21,700

maybe someone else to get that to

 

556

00:18:21,767 --> 00:18:22,101

you put

 

557

00:18:22,101 --> 00:18:23,502

on with a quarter and similar cover.

 

558

00:18:23,502 --> 00:18:26,405

Okay.

 

559

00:18:26,405 --> 00:18:27,573

No, no.

 

560

00:18:27,573 --> 00:18:28,006

listen to,

 

561

00:18:28,006 --> 00:18:30,876

the show didn't understand Yeah.

 

562

00:18:30,876 --> 00:18:32,811

What I what I said.

 

563

00:18:32,811 --> 00:18:33,178

Yeah.

 

564

00:18:33,178 --> 00:18:34,580

You put it on with a quarter inch

 

565

00:18:34,580 --> 00:18:36,115

and that roller

 

566

00:18:36,115 --> 00:18:38,617

but then you use the 1500 trowel

 

567

00:18:38,617 --> 00:18:39,618

when you're spreading the adhesive

 

568

00:18:39,618 --> 00:18:42,488

over it to get the unlimited.

 

569

00:18:42,488 --> 00:18:44,623

All So. Got it.

 

570

00:18:44,623 --> 00:18:44,990

Yeah.

 

571

00:18:44,990 --> 00:18:47,593

So

 

572

00:18:47,593 --> 00:18:48,727

yes.

 

573

00:18:48,727 --> 00:18:50,562

any special rollers.

 

574

00:18:50,562 --> 00:18:51,697

Quarter is that roller.

 

575

00:18:51,697 --> 00:18:55,934

You know any, any

 

576

00:18:56,001 --> 00:18:56,935

type of these products.

 

577

00:18:56,935 --> 00:18:58,871

I don't, I don't buy a high roller

 

578

00:18:58,871 --> 00:19:00,706

this quarter. Is that more the roller.

 

579

00:19:00,706 --> 00:19:03,208

A lot of guys that use a mohair roller

 

580

00:19:03,208 --> 00:19:05,711

that's fine and

 

581

00:19:05,711 --> 00:19:06,678

yeah it's good for flooring

 

582

00:19:06,678 --> 00:19:09,014

floors, wood carpet

 

583

00:19:09,014 --> 00:19:12,384

and if you don't use the if the the

 

584

00:19:12,384 --> 00:19:13,919

the quantum flow of use

 

585

00:19:13,919 --> 00:19:16,288

eight 851 we can get you up to 95%.

 

586

00:19:16,288 --> 00:19:18,357

RH And £18

 

587

00:19:18,357 --> 00:19:20,759

So yeah, we're excited about this man.

 

588

00:19:20,759 --> 00:19:22,694

This has been a long time coming for us.

 

589

00:19:22,694 --> 00:19:24,830

Like I said, if

 

590

00:19:24,897 --> 00:19:25,364

you know,

 

591

00:19:25,364 --> 00:19:26,965

we've been easier

 

592

00:19:26,965 --> 00:19:28,600

to come up with this a long time ago.

 

593

00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:29,635

If we weren't as concerned

 

594

00:19:29,635 --> 00:19:32,271

about the silent adhesive that we have

 

595

00:19:32,271 --> 00:19:34,273

and that formula that we use,

 

596

00:19:34,273 --> 00:19:35,941

it's very important to bone it.

 

597

00:19:35,941 --> 00:19:37,776

And that platform of ours

 

598

00:19:37,776 --> 00:19:38,644

is not going to change.

 

599

00:19:38,644 --> 00:19:41,113

And just in case anybody says, well,

 

600

00:19:41,113 --> 00:19:41,380

you know,

 

601

00:19:41,380 --> 00:19:42,481

what is a silent

 

602

00:19:42,481 --> 00:19:45,484

adhesive anyhow, just real quick,

 

603

00:19:45,584 --> 00:19:46,418

it's a one component

 

604

00:19:46,418 --> 00:19:47,686

adhesive that reacts with

 

605

00:19:47,686 --> 00:19:48,220

then here's

 

606

00:19:48,220 --> 00:19:49,288

with the moisture

 

607

00:19:49,288 --> 00:19:52,024

actually comes from the silicone family.

 

608

00:19:52,024 --> 00:19:54,226

So silicone is anything they use around

 

609

00:19:54,226 --> 00:19:55,561

showers or tubs,

 

610

00:19:55,561 --> 00:19:57,062

caulking around windows, anywhere.

 

611

00:19:57,062 --> 00:19:58,864

They don't want moisture intrusion

 

612

00:19:58,864 --> 00:20:00,732

because it has phenomenal moisture

 

613

00:20:00,732 --> 00:20:02,434

blocking properties.

 

614

00:20:02,434 --> 00:20:04,937

And so it's come from the silicone

 

615

00:20:04,937 --> 00:20:05,971

family, great shear

 

616

00:20:05,971 --> 00:20:09,575

strength and flexibility

 

617

00:20:09,675 --> 00:20:10,576

where you can also and

 

618

00:20:10,576 --> 00:20:13,579

is environmentally friendly.

 

619

00:20:13,645 --> 00:20:14,379

It does, yeah.

 

620

00:20:14,379 --> 00:20:15,681

Yeah.

 

621

00:20:15,681 --> 00:20:20,419

So I'm a concrete slab.

 

622

00:20:20,485 --> 00:20:24,556

You should.

 

623

00:20:24,623 --> 00:20:28,327

Yeah,

 

624

00:20:28,393 --> 00:20:29,127

that's a good question.

 

625

00:20:29,127 --> 00:20:30,262

You can use both.

 

626

00:20:30,262 --> 00:20:32,864

I personally prefer an aged it roller.

 

627

00:20:32,864 --> 00:20:34,366

I like the weight of it.

 

628

00:20:34,366 --> 00:20:35,167

I like to

 

629

00:20:35,167 --> 00:20:35,567

I can

 

630

00:20:35,567 --> 00:20:36,735

I can put on much faster

 

631

00:20:36,735 --> 00:20:37,669

than I can to nine inch.

 

632

00:20:37,669 --> 00:20:38,270

Obviously

 

633

00:20:38,270 --> 00:20:40,405

I just like the way it feels better.

 

634

00:20:40,405 --> 00:20:44,943

So I personally prefer the 18 inch.

 

635

00:20:45,043 --> 00:20:46,745

So yeah, we're,

 

636

00:20:46,745 --> 00:20:48,547

we're really excited about this one.

 

637

00:20:48,547 --> 00:20:49,781

This is a big deal for us.

 

638

00:20:49,781 --> 00:20:51,083

I was going to say the last point

 

639

00:20:51,083 --> 00:20:53,085

I had on the on the

 

640

00:20:53,085 --> 00:20:56,588

this Eileen's on a concrete subfloor,

 

641

00:20:56,655 --> 00:20:59,324

it achieves a chemical bond

 

642

00:20:59,324 --> 00:21:00,192

or on a you're

 

643

00:21:00,192 --> 00:21:02,194

a you're thinking on a concrete floor,

 

644

00:21:02,194 --> 00:21:04,696

achieve a mechanical bond

 

645

00:21:04,696 --> 00:21:07,466

and it's the opposite on upwards.

 

646

00:21:07,466 --> 00:21:10,769

Now I want to tell you something to rub

 

647

00:21:10,869 --> 00:21:13,138

and I keep going or you want to

 

648

00:21:13,138 --> 00:21:17,342

you want to. me

 

649

00:21:17,442 --> 00:21:17,776

last.

 

650

00:21:17,776 --> 00:21:19,077

We get that Syracuse. Cool.

 

651

00:21:19,077 --> 00:21:21,079

I was talking about,

 

652

00:21:21,079 --> 00:21:24,950

I was explaining to people about the 540,

 

653

00:21:25,017 --> 00:21:38,330

Yeah,

 

654

00:21:38,397 --> 00:22:06,058

yeah.

 

655

00:22:06,158 --> 00:22:06,858

No, you're right.

 

656

00:22:06,858 --> 00:22:08,493

We don't want to stop all the moisture

 

657

00:22:08,493 --> 00:22:09,227

from coming through.

 

658

00:22:09,227 --> 00:22:10,462

It's a vapor retarder.

 

659

00:22:10,462 --> 00:22:13,465

We it will let the transmission

 

660

00:22:13,565 --> 00:22:14,766

of moisture pass through.

 

661

00:22:14,766 --> 00:22:17,769

But it's such a very, very slowly, slowly

 

662

00:22:17,803 --> 00:22:19,037

reduced rate

 

663

00:22:19,037 --> 00:22:21,273

that it doesn't shock the floor.

 

664

00:22:21,273 --> 00:22:22,607

So that's why we tell you

 

665

00:22:22,607 --> 00:22:24,309

don't put two coats on.

 

666

00:22:24,309 --> 00:22:25,844

Vapor retarder.

 

667

00:22:25,844 --> 00:22:28,680

Yeah.

 

668

00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,084

Now,

 

669

00:22:32,150 --> 00:22:33,185

same thing with regard.

 

670

00:22:33,185 --> 00:22:35,654

Yes.

 

671

00:22:35,654 --> 00:22:44,663

Yes.

 

672

00:22:44,763 --> 00:22:45,197

trapping

 

673

00:22:45,197 --> 00:22:47,265

moisture is going to create mold.

 

674

00:22:47,265 --> 00:22:49,134

This lets it mitigate through.

 

675

00:22:49,134 --> 00:22:52,003

I say it's a moisture mitigation system

 

676

00:22:52,003 --> 00:22:53,839

where we can control it,

 

677

00:22:53,839 --> 00:22:55,607

you know, blah, blah, blah.

 

678

00:22:55,607 --> 00:22:57,976

And I swear to you, 15 minutes later,

 

679

00:22:57,976 --> 00:23:01,513

one of the students who had never used it

 

680

00:23:01,580 --> 00:23:03,949

started to explain it to another student.

 

681

00:23:03,949 --> 00:23:06,017

It doesn't trap the moisture.

 

682

00:23:06,017 --> 00:23:07,219

Trapping moisture is bad.

 

683

00:23:07,219 --> 00:23:09,888

And I just sat back going, yeah,

 

684

00:23:09,888 --> 00:23:11,923

this is perfect.

 

685

00:23:11,990 --> 00:23:17,529

Did your job.

 

686

00:23:17,596 --> 00:23:20,499

Very nice.

 

687

00:23:20,499 --> 00:23:21,199

Yeah.

 

688

00:23:21,199 --> 00:23:32,844

Yep.

 

689

00:23:32,944 --> 00:23:34,312

that story really clicked.

 

690

00:23:34,312 --> 00:23:36,014

So I'm glad we can keep

 

691

00:23:36,014 --> 00:23:37,482

using that store guy.

 

692

00:23:37,482 --> 00:23:38,850

I think that, you know,

 

693

00:23:38,850 --> 00:23:41,520

that story's a great story yeah, yeah.

 

694

00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,755

Very good.

 

695

00:23:43,755 --> 00:23:45,524

Here's the thing to rub.

 

696

00:23:45,524 --> 00:23:48,460

So when it comes to concrete.

 

697

00:23:48,460 --> 00:23:50,462

Yeah, maybe

 

698

00:23:50,462 --> 00:23:51,763

I've said this before on the show.

 

699

00:23:51,763 --> 00:23:52,697

I don't know if I have or not,

 

700

00:23:52,697 --> 00:23:53,899

but the thing that scares me

 

701

00:23:53,899 --> 00:23:55,167

about concrete

 

702

00:23:55,167 --> 00:23:56,701

is that a couple of things.

 

703

00:23:56,701 --> 00:23:58,904

There's so many things that we cannot see

 

704

00:23:58,904 --> 00:24:00,405

is man

 

705

00:24:00,405 --> 00:24:00,906

the one of the,

 

706

00:24:00,906 --> 00:24:01,907

one of the biggest decisions

 

707

00:24:01,907 --> 00:24:02,507

that's made

 

708

00:24:02,507 --> 00:24:04,242

before you even get to the job site,

 

709

00:24:04,242 --> 00:24:05,444

well, before you even think about

 

710

00:24:05,444 --> 00:24:07,479

doing floors,

 

711

00:24:07,479 --> 00:24:08,480

before you ever scheduled

 

712

00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,115

a job, is the concrete,

 

713

00:24:10,115 --> 00:24:12,884

the give the water, the cement ratio.

 

714

00:24:12,884 --> 00:24:14,386

I mean, that that determines

 

715

00:24:14,386 --> 00:24:15,787

how long it takes for the adhesives

 

716

00:24:15,787 --> 00:24:18,557

and for the the concrete to dry.

 

717

00:24:18,557 --> 00:24:21,159

It has a huge determining factor on it

 

718

00:24:21,159 --> 00:24:23,929

so that that water to cement ratio

 

719

00:24:23,929 --> 00:24:24,963

is is huge.

 

720

00:24:24,963 --> 00:24:26,898

And a lot of times that water can be

 

721

00:24:26,898 --> 00:24:28,166

is at the job site.

 

722

00:24:28,166 --> 00:24:28,800

Well, they're adding

 

723

00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,001

pumping more water into it.

 

724

00:24:30,001 --> 00:24:32,170

It makes the construction laborers

 

725

00:24:32,170 --> 00:24:32,804

job easier.

 

726

00:24:32,804 --> 00:24:33,405

They can

 

727

00:24:33,405 --> 00:24:34,573

they can shovel the concrete

 

728

00:24:34,573 --> 00:24:35,907

and move the concrete around the place.

 

729

00:24:35,907 --> 00:24:38,176

The concrete makes their life easier.

 

730

00:24:38,176 --> 00:24:39,010

The other thing, too, is

 

731

00:24:39,010 --> 00:24:40,679

we don't know what curing compounds it

 

732

00:24:40,679 --> 00:24:41,313

that they use

 

733

00:24:41,313 --> 00:24:43,148

for for curing the concrete.

 

734

00:24:43,148 --> 00:24:45,717

I mean, some of them again,

 

735

00:24:45,717 --> 00:24:48,620

takes much, much much longer for the

 

736

00:24:48,620 --> 00:24:50,689

for the concrete to cure.

 

737

00:24:50,689 --> 00:24:52,257

So you have no privy to that.

 

738

00:24:52,257 --> 00:24:53,024

You have no idea of

 

739

00:24:53,024 --> 00:24:54,526

what's been done on the on this lab.

 

740

00:24:54,526 --> 00:24:57,195

You can't look at it. Tell me

 

741

00:24:57,262 --> 00:24:58,230

you don't know what admixture

 

742

00:24:58,230 --> 00:24:59,464

has been added to the concrete.

 

743

00:24:59,464 --> 00:25:00,999

A lot of times there's a lot of stuff

 

744

00:25:00,999 --> 00:25:01,967

fly ash and different

 

745

00:25:01,967 --> 00:25:03,802

things are being added to the concrete

 

746

00:25:03,802 --> 00:25:04,903

that also contribute

 

747

00:25:04,903 --> 00:25:06,104

to moisture in the concrete.

 

748

00:25:06,104 --> 00:25:09,474

Also, when they burn is, you know,

 

749

00:25:09,674 --> 00:25:10,208

like a floor

 

750

00:25:10,208 --> 00:25:11,910

man wants to have, you know, our we

 

751

00:25:11,910 --> 00:25:13,111

our pride is like how smooth

 

752

00:25:13,111 --> 00:25:14,045

that floor is.

 

753

00:25:14,045 --> 00:25:15,514

Well, look how we got this floor

 

754

00:25:15,514 --> 00:25:17,048

so smooth and everything

 

755

00:25:17,048 --> 00:25:18,283

concrete finishes a lot of them

 

756

00:25:18,283 --> 00:25:19,251

the same way.

 

757

00:25:19,251 --> 00:25:20,652

And he burnished that concrete

 

758

00:25:20,652 --> 00:25:21,419

so slick

 

759

00:25:21,419 --> 00:25:22,153

and so tight

 

760

00:25:22,153 --> 00:25:23,989

it doesn't allow the moisture to

 

761

00:25:23,989 --> 00:25:25,423

evaporate out.

 

762

00:25:25,423 --> 00:25:28,126

So there's a lot of things going on that

 

763

00:25:28,126 --> 00:25:29,928

we just have no idea.

 

764

00:25:29,928 --> 00:25:30,896

And like I said,

 

765

00:25:30,896 --> 00:25:33,298

I will gamble with a lot of things,

 

766

00:25:33,298 --> 00:25:34,165

but my business

 

767

00:25:34,165 --> 00:25:35,800

and my livelihood is not one of.

 

768

00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,035

Those things.

 

769

00:25:37,035 --> 00:25:39,437

I had a friend one time,

 

770

00:25:39,437 --> 00:25:41,606

he was a carpenter

 

771

00:25:41,706 --> 00:25:43,408

and I went out

 

772

00:25:43,408 --> 00:25:45,043

and helped him on a job one time

 

773

00:25:45,043 --> 00:25:47,412

and we were young kids in her twenties

 

774

00:25:47,412 --> 00:25:48,813

and I knew his wife very well,

 

775

00:25:48,813 --> 00:25:50,549

Joann, and we'd been friends.

 

776

00:25:50,549 --> 00:25:51,283

We were still friends.

 

777

00:25:51,283 --> 00:25:53,985

This they are our families.

 

778

00:25:53,985 --> 00:25:56,621

And she always me as as a friend

 

779

00:25:56,621 --> 00:25:57,455

going out and Friday

 

780

00:25:57,455 --> 00:25:59,024

nights every night, whatever

 

781

00:25:59,024 --> 00:26:00,659

as you came by the job site

 

782

00:26:00,659 --> 00:26:02,694

and she was at the job and she was there

 

783

00:26:02,694 --> 00:26:03,728

as she brought us lunch or whatever.

 

784

00:26:03,728 --> 00:26:04,930

And we're working

 

785

00:26:04,930 --> 00:26:06,298

and she left and she called Paul.

 

786

00:26:06,298 --> 00:26:07,499

She was wise, wise mate,

 

787

00:26:07,499 --> 00:26:10,235

what's wrong with Wayne? Why is he mad?

 

788

00:26:10,235 --> 00:26:11,636

And he shared it with me.

 

789

00:26:11,636 --> 00:26:13,004

I go, What are you talking about?

 

790

00:26:13,004 --> 00:26:16,641

I'm a man and I realize she sees me

 

791

00:26:16,808 --> 00:26:18,476

is when I'm when I'm not working,

 

792

00:26:18,476 --> 00:26:19,678

I'm joking, whatever.

 

793

00:26:19,678 --> 00:26:20,779

But my my world

 

794

00:26:20,779 --> 00:26:24,149

it work is I'm deadly serious.

 

795

00:26:24,249 --> 00:26:24,616

In fact,

 

796

00:26:24,616 --> 00:26:28,053

you never see me joke about my job. I'm.

 

797

00:26:28,153 --> 00:26:28,620

You know, I'm.

 

798

00:26:28,620 --> 00:26:31,056

That's not me. I'm. I'm.

 

799

00:26:31,056 --> 00:26:33,525

When it comes to that, I am deadly.

 

800

00:26:33,525 --> 00:26:34,659

Deadly serious about it

 

801

00:26:34,659 --> 00:26:37,095

and I don't play games about my work.

 

802

00:26:37,095 --> 00:26:40,098

And so

 

803

00:26:40,231 --> 00:26:41,433

I just think it's

 

804

00:26:41,433 --> 00:26:43,134

so many things that are stacked up.

 

805

00:26:43,134 --> 00:26:44,235

We talked before

 

806

00:26:44,235 --> 00:26:44,703

how many things

 

807

00:26:44,703 --> 00:26:46,504

are against the contractor

 

808

00:26:46,504 --> 00:26:47,639

and how many things you have going

 

809

00:26:47,639 --> 00:26:49,040

on his side of the equation.

 

810

00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:50,075

The more things you can put

 

811

00:26:50,075 --> 00:26:51,343

on your side of the equation

 

812

00:26:51,343 --> 00:26:53,678

to save you from from a callback or hard

 

813

00:26:53,678 --> 00:26:55,680

heartache or problems like this,

 

814

00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:56,881

the better off you are.

 

815

00:26:56,881 --> 00:26:59,050

And the beauty of this one

 

816

00:26:59,050 --> 00:27:00,919

is if you can get the homeowner,

 

817

00:27:00,919 --> 00:27:01,586

if you can

 

818

00:27:01,586 --> 00:27:03,088

upcharge for the homeowner,

 

819

00:27:03,088 --> 00:27:05,523

it's like they're paying your insurance

 

820

00:27:05,523 --> 00:27:06,791

that the Florida isn't cut.

 

821

00:27:06,791 --> 00:27:07,959

You know what I mean?

 

822

00:27:07,959 --> 00:27:09,828

So. So you can sleep at night.

 

823

00:27:09,828 --> 00:27:10,695

I always tell the story

 

824

00:27:10,695 --> 00:27:11,463

about my grandfather,

 

825

00:27:11,463 --> 00:27:12,964

who was a tobacco farmer

 

826

00:27:12,964 --> 00:27:14,065

and was always worried,

 

827

00:27:14,065 --> 00:27:14,265

you know,

 

828

00:27:14,265 --> 00:27:15,133

even after retired

 

829

00:27:15,133 --> 00:27:16,334

from doing floors about,

 

830

00:27:16,334 --> 00:27:17,268

the crops are going

 

831

00:27:17,268 --> 00:27:18,303

to burn up in the field

 

832

00:27:18,303 --> 00:27:19,070

and the rain is going

 

833

00:27:19,070 --> 00:27:20,205

to destroy the tobacco.

 

834

00:27:20,205 --> 00:27:21,740

And I don't know about you,

 

835

00:27:21,740 --> 00:27:22,607

but I still have,

 

836

00:27:22,607 --> 00:27:22,907

you know,

 

837

00:27:22,907 --> 00:27:24,009

when it's been raining for three

 

838

00:27:24,009 --> 00:27:25,910

or four or five days in a row,

 

839

00:27:25,910 --> 00:27:27,612

I still think about floors cupping

 

840

00:27:27,612 --> 00:27:28,713

and I worry about the floors.

 

841

00:27:28,713 --> 00:27:29,514

And, you know,

 

842

00:27:29,514 --> 00:27:31,816

I mean, it doesn't go away.

 

843

00:27:31,816 --> 00:27:34,285

So I just think this is one thing

 

844

00:27:34,285 --> 00:27:36,388

we can put on our side of the equation

 

845

00:27:36,388 --> 00:27:38,323

for not a lot of money.

 

846

00:27:38,323 --> 00:27:39,658

And a thousand square feet

 

847

00:27:39,658 --> 00:27:41,059

with 18 is real or you can go

 

848

00:27:41,059 --> 00:27:42,193

super fast,

 

849

00:27:42,193 --> 00:27:43,461

doesn't take a lot of time

 

850

00:27:43,461 --> 00:27:45,263

in a couple of hours.

 

851

00:27:45,330 --> 00:27:47,799

I think this is a huge win for us.

 

852

00:27:47,799 --> 00:27:52,637

So yeah, use this over our 540?

 

853

00:27:52,737 --> 00:27:54,472

Give me a couple of bullets.

 

854

00:27:54,472 --> 00:27:55,740

well, this is a good question.

 

855

00:27:55,740 --> 00:27:58,743

So the the downside to 540

 

856

00:27:58,843 --> 00:28:00,211

is, is the dry time.

 

857

00:28:00,211 --> 00:28:00,912

It takes longer.

 

858

00:28:00,912 --> 00:28:02,147

It takes 6 hours

 

859

00:28:02,147 --> 00:28:04,215

for the before you can use adhesive.

 

860

00:28:04,215 --> 00:28:06,551

Now, if you're just installing

 

861

00:28:06,551 --> 00:28:08,219

and you're not using adhesive, you can,

 

862

00:28:08,219 --> 00:28:08,453

you know,

 

863

00:28:08,453 --> 00:28:10,255

wait an hour or two and you can go.

 

864

00:28:10,255 --> 00:28:11,623

But if you using adhesive,

 

865

00:28:11,623 --> 00:28:13,892

you still have a 16 hour drying time

 

866

00:28:13,892 --> 00:28:16,995

in 540, you know, may go away one day.

 

867

00:28:16,995 --> 00:28:18,463

We'll see what the market decides.

 

868

00:28:18,463 --> 00:28:20,532

But

 

869

00:28:20,532 --> 00:28:23,535

540 is a is a primer on advantech.

 

870

00:28:23,668 --> 00:28:25,937

And this product is not so far,

 

871

00:28:25,937 --> 00:28:27,672

although the testing looks really good

 

872

00:28:27,672 --> 00:28:28,840

that we might be able to change that.

 

873

00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:29,774

But right now it's not. So.

 

874

00:28:29,774 --> 00:28:31,376

540 in areas

 

875

00:28:31,376 --> 00:28:33,244

we have those type of sub floors.

 

876

00:28:33,244 --> 00:28:33,845

We're going to still

 

877

00:28:33,845 --> 00:28:34,813

keep that product around

 

878

00:28:34,813 --> 00:28:36,247

and also we have an audience for it.

 

879

00:28:36,247 --> 00:28:39,918

I mean, I still love it. So so

 

880

00:28:39,984 --> 00:28:44,689

it's mainly come to.

 

881

00:28:44,756 --> 00:28:47,759

Yeah,

 

882

00:28:47,892 --> 00:28:49,961

we'll travel now go.

 

883

00:28:49,961 --> 00:28:52,964

We want to do.

 

884

00:28:52,964 --> 00:28:53,765

Yeah.

 

885

00:28:53,765 --> 00:28:55,400

Okay.

 

886

00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,736

Well, that's that's huge.

 

887

00:28:57,736 --> 00:28:59,204

it's, yeah it's big.

 

888

00:28:59,204 --> 00:29:01,072

Yeah, yeah.

 

889

00:29:01,072 --> 00:29:03,575

huge.

 

890

00:29:03,575 --> 00:29:04,375

So there you go.

 

891

00:29:04,375 --> 00:29:05,110

And like I said,

 

892

00:29:05,110 --> 00:29:05,810

I mean you know,

 

893

00:29:05,810 --> 00:29:06,544

because we wanted

 

894

00:29:06,544 --> 00:29:07,545

to keep this in the family

 

895

00:29:07,545 --> 00:29:08,513

with a smiling user

 

896

00:29:08,513 --> 00:29:09,714

because we don't use letter

 

897

00:29:09,714 --> 00:29:10,949

ten or things like that.

 

898

00:29:10,949 --> 00:29:13,551

We, there's other technologies out there

 

899

00:29:13,551 --> 00:29:15,854

that we certainly could use and we don't

 

900

00:29:15,854 --> 00:29:16,421

when I tell you

 

901

00:29:16,421 --> 00:29:18,556

that is so important

 

902

00:29:18,556 --> 00:29:20,425

to the board and family,

 

903

00:29:20,425 --> 00:29:21,993

what we're putting into products,

 

904

00:29:21,993 --> 00:29:24,195

what we're putting into people's homes,

 

905

00:29:24,195 --> 00:29:25,530

what we're having installers

 

906

00:29:25,530 --> 00:29:26,564

and finishers use,

 

907

00:29:26,564 --> 00:29:29,768

sometimes that that's going to trump

 

908

00:29:29,834 --> 00:29:30,869

a lot of different things

 

909

00:29:30,869 --> 00:29:33,872

that would make my life easier.

 

910

00:29:33,938 --> 00:29:36,574

But but in the long run, in the

 

911

00:29:36,574 --> 00:29:37,375

in the scheme of things,

 

912

00:29:37,375 --> 00:29:38,243

it's the right thing to do.

 

913

00:29:38,243 --> 00:29:40,278

So there you go.

 

914

00:29:40,278 --> 00:29:41,112

So there's a few things

 

915

00:29:41,112 --> 00:29:42,514

you don't do in life. Rob.

 

916

00:29:42,514 --> 00:29:42,781

You know,

 

917

00:29:42,781 --> 00:29:44,816

there's some things you don't gamble on.

 

918

00:29:44,816 --> 00:29:45,850

You also don't buy off

 

919

00:29:45,850 --> 00:29:47,185

brand Oreo cookies.

 

920

00:29:47,185 --> 00:29:49,487

Is everything okay with you?

 

921

00:29:49,487 --> 00:29:49,854

What do you mean?

 

922

00:29:49,854 --> 00:29:50,622

Is everything okay with me?

 

923

00:29:50,622 --> 00:29:55,760

Why would you ask me that?

 

924

00:29:55,827 --> 00:29:58,830

No, I don't know

 

925

00:29:59,063 --> 00:30:05,470

why,

 

926

00:30:05,570 --> 00:30:06,938

you

 

927

00:30:06,938 --> 00:30:07,872

know.

 

928

00:30:07,872 --> 00:30:09,107

Yes, I don't gamble,

 

929

00:30:09,107 --> 00:30:10,909

you know I don't gamble.

 

930

00:30:10,909 --> 00:30:12,377

No, no, no, no.

 

931

00:30:12,377 --> 00:30:13,077

No one's less.

 

932

00:30:13,077 --> 00:30:17,248

No, I never been on sports, ever.

 

933

00:30:17,282 --> 00:30:22,420

I even in even in my twenties,

 

934

00:30:22,420 --> 00:30:23,388

I knew I was terrible

 

935

00:30:23,388 --> 00:30:24,522

at gambling on sports.

 

936

00:30:24,522 --> 00:30:25,824

So I don't. I don't gamble.

 

937

00:30:25,824 --> 00:30:27,225

I don't even play blackjack or any

 

938

00:30:27,225 --> 00:30:28,059

when I go to casinos,

 

939

00:30:28,059 --> 00:30:30,461

I really don't gamble at all.

 

940

00:30:30,461 --> 00:30:31,996

Just not fun to me was too stressful.

 

941

00:30:31,996 --> 00:30:33,364

I'm not good at it.

 

942

00:30:33,364 --> 00:30:35,066

Took me a long time to realize that.

 

943

00:30:35,066 --> 00:30:37,502

I have learned I'm very cheap, Paul.

 

944

00:30:37,502 --> 00:30:38,303

When he stole my kid.

 

945

00:30:38,303 --> 00:30:41,306

Everybody knows I'm pretty cheap

 

946

00:30:41,506 --> 00:30:43,474

now. I'm not cheap.

 

947

00:30:43,474 --> 00:30:44,876

It comes at tip in and,

 

948

00:30:44,876 --> 00:30:50,582

you know, things like that Yeah, and

 

949

00:30:50,682 --> 00:30:53,618

yeah,

 

950

00:30:53,685 --> 00:31:01,292

yeah.

 

951

00:31:01,392 --> 00:31:03,461

Here's how

 

952

00:31:03,461 --> 00:31:04,762

we don't have time. We can cut this out.

 

953

00:31:04,762 --> 00:31:06,464

But I tell you, the worst lesson of all,

 

954

00:31:06,464 --> 00:31:10,101

which maybe this is why I don't gamble

 

955

00:31:10,201 --> 00:31:11,269

the large percentage.

 

956

00:31:11,269 --> 00:31:12,937

The reason why I don't gamble.

 

957

00:31:12,937 --> 00:31:13,972

Julie and I,

 

958

00:31:13,972 --> 00:31:16,207

we were still living in a 320 square foot

 

959

00:31:16,207 --> 00:31:17,008

apartment above.

 

960

00:31:17,008 --> 00:31:18,576

Above a garage.

 

961

00:31:18,576 --> 00:31:19,844

We had no money.

 

962

00:31:19,844 --> 00:31:20,912

She was going to college.

 

963

00:31:20,912 --> 00:31:21,880

I was working

 

964

00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:23,681

as a laborer in construction,

 

965

00:31:23,681 --> 00:31:26,117

and we went to Tahoe for the weekend

 

966

00:31:26,117 --> 00:31:27,452

as a sperm, anything.

 

967

00:31:27,452 --> 00:31:27,719

You know,

 

968

00:31:27,719 --> 00:31:29,921

I thought, very romantic, right, dude,

 

969

00:31:29,921 --> 00:31:31,923

You know what? Let's go to Tahoe. Really?

 

970

00:31:31,923 --> 00:31:33,458

Yeah. Let's just go.

 

971

00:31:33,458 --> 00:31:33,992

Really?

 

972

00:31:33,992 --> 00:31:34,926

We didn't,

 

973

00:31:34,926 --> 00:31:37,629

you know, let's just get the car and go.

 

974

00:31:37,629 --> 00:31:38,229

So we go.

 

975

00:31:38,229 --> 00:31:38,763

Well, first of all,

 

976

00:31:38,763 --> 00:31:39,731

there was a

 

977

00:31:39,731 --> 00:31:41,399

car accident there on the freeway.

 

978

00:31:41,399 --> 00:31:42,300

This woman died, took like,

 

979

00:31:42,300 --> 00:31:44,168

four extra hours to get there.

 

980

00:31:44,168 --> 00:31:45,403

But that's not his fault.

 

981

00:31:45,403 --> 00:31:48,873

So

 

982

00:31:48,940 --> 00:31:51,409

we get there.

 

983

00:31:51,409 --> 00:31:52,610

She doesn't gamble at all.

 

984

00:31:52,610 --> 00:31:54,345

She went to read a book or whatever.

 

985

00:31:54,345 --> 00:31:56,247

And before we get to the casino,

 

986

00:31:56,247 --> 00:31:56,915

she goes,

 

987

00:31:56,915 --> 00:31:58,016

Should we get her a hotel first?

 

988

00:31:58,016 --> 00:32:00,218

I know this is Google Casino first,

 

989

00:32:00,218 --> 00:32:02,120

then we go get a hotel.

 

990

00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,188

I lost every

 

991

00:32:04,188 --> 00:32:08,393

we had in about 45 minutes.

 

992

00:32:08,493 --> 00:32:09,694

I lost it all.

 

993

00:32:09,694 --> 00:32:12,697

I lost everything,

 

994

00:32:12,764 --> 00:32:16,901

which was like $320.

 

995

00:32:16,968 --> 00:32:18,903

So she comes up and I said,

 

996

00:32:18,903 --> 00:32:20,171

All right, let's go.

 

997

00:32:20,171 --> 00:32:21,506

And then it was a long drive.

 

998

00:32:21,506 --> 00:32:22,840

It ended up being like 8 hours.

 

999

00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:23,875

It should've been a four hour drive,

 

1000

00:32:23,875 --> 00:32:25,009

but it took forever.

 

1001

00:32:25,009 --> 00:32:27,412

So I said, Let's go.

 

1002

00:32:27,412 --> 00:32:28,713

We lost.

 

1003

00:32:28,713 --> 00:32:29,213

She was, What?

 

1004

00:32:29,213 --> 00:32:31,950

What do you mean? Said we lost.

 

1005

00:32:31,950 --> 00:32:32,984

Let's go.

 

1006

00:32:32,984 --> 00:32:33,985

We going home?

 

1007

00:32:33,985 --> 00:32:35,954

She says, Well, wait a minute.

 

1008

00:32:35,954 --> 00:32:36,788

We just got here.

 

1009

00:32:36,788 --> 00:32:37,121

I go.

 

1010

00:32:37,121 --> 00:32:39,824

I know, I'm telling you we lost.

 

1011

00:32:39,824 --> 00:32:42,360

So on the way home,

 

1012

00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:43,695

I was thinking about all the tools

 

1013

00:32:43,695 --> 00:32:45,229

I could have bought with that money, man.

 

1014

00:32:45,229 --> 00:32:46,097

I mean, I was.

 

1015

00:32:46,097 --> 00:32:48,800

man, I was just such a knucklehead.

 

1016

00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,703

So that's. I don't gamble.

 

1017

00:32:51,769 --> 00:32:54,005

I was chasing bad money

 

1018

00:32:54,005 --> 00:32:56,140

or good money with bad money or whatever.

 

1019

00:32:56,140 --> 00:32:57,208

Yeah, Yeah.

 

1020

00:32:57,208 --> 00:32:59,210

You live in the. Yeah.

 

1021

00:32:59,210 --> 00:33:00,345

All right.

 

1022

00:33:00,345 --> 00:33:01,679

I got more questions.

 

1023

00:33:01,679 --> 00:33:03,614

Okay.

 

1024

00:33:03,614 --> 00:33:06,617

can use this stuff under carpet,

 

1025

00:33:06,751 --> 00:33:07,819

Yeah.

 

1026

00:33:07,819 --> 00:33:08,987

Commercial jobs.

 

1027

00:33:08,987 --> 00:33:10,021

You'll see that sometimes.

 

1028

00:33:10,021 --> 00:33:14,959

Yep, lv ti carpet, yep, yep,

 

1029

00:33:15,059 --> 00:33:17,895

yep.

 

1030

00:33:17,895 --> 00:33:23,368

Yeah,

 

1031

00:33:23,468 --> 00:33:25,370

yeah.

 

1032

00:33:25,370 --> 00:33:34,379

Or you attend meetings.

 

1033

00:33:34,445 --> 00:33:36,981

Same 400 or 400 to 500.

 

1034

00:33:36,981 --> 00:33:44,055

Yeah.

 

1035

00:33:44,155 --> 00:33:49,227

Yes.

 

1036

00:33:49,293 --> 00:33:52,296

All right,

 

1037

00:33:52,363 --> 00:33:54,332

what else can I learn here?

 

1038

00:33:54,332 --> 00:33:54,899

I don't know.

 

1039

00:33:54,899 --> 00:34:00,071

But do we want to watch you read?

 

1040

00:34:00,171 --> 00:34:01,039

Well, like you say, cut

 

1041

00:34:01,039 --> 00:34:04,275

that all out,

 

1042

00:34:04,375 --> 00:34:05,043

Okay.

 

1043

00:34:05,043 --> 00:34:06,811

Just speed up his interaction.

 

1044

00:34:06,811 --> 00:34:07,578

Okay.

 

1045

00:34:07,578 --> 00:34:09,881

All right, Rob, it's been a pleasure.

 

1046

00:34:09,881 --> 00:34:10,314

Okay.

 

1047

00:34:10,314 --> 00:34:11,449

This has been another episode
