00:00:12,012 --> 00:00:13,013
Welcome to another episode
2
00:00:13,013 --> 00:00:14,748
of On the Floor with Wayne and Rob.
3
00:00:14,748 --> 00:00:15,482
I'm Wayne Highlander,
4
00:00:15,482 --> 00:00:18,451
Director of Sales for Adhesives.
5
00:00:18,451 --> 00:00:20,920
And I'm Rob Johnson from Bona Training.
6
00:00:21,021 --> 00:00:23,223
You finally got it in there.
7
00:00:23,223 --> 00:00:25,558
Di-rec-tor.
8
00:00:26,126 --> 00:00:28,928
I did a demo earlier in NWFA
9
00:00:29,129 --> 00:00:31,231
and I said I was director of sales
10
00:00:31,231 --> 00:00:32,332
and then I got sidetracked.
11
00:00:32,332 --> 00:00:33,967
I was talking about something else.
12
00:00:33,967 --> 00:00:35,335
And the guy had Bono, who is who
13
00:00:35,335 --> 00:00:37,303
actually is a director of sales,
14
00:00:37,303 --> 00:00:38,471
texted me.
15
00:00:38,471 --> 00:00:43,476
He said, you're director of sales.
16
00:00:43,476 --> 00:00:44,310
So I had to go
17
00:00:44,310 --> 00:00:46,246
say, well, it was an accident.
18
00:00:46,246 --> 00:00:47,147
All right.
19
00:00:47,547 --> 00:00:48,782
Robert, for that, isn't
20
00:00:48,782 --> 00:00:50,417
that a Freudian slip?
21
00:00:50,417 --> 00:00:52,385
I think that's what they call that.
22
00:00:52,385 --> 00:00:53,520
I guess it could be.
23
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,856
I have no desire to do that man's job.
24
00:00:57,323 --> 00:00:58,024
They would.
25
00:00:58,024 --> 00:01:00,026
You would take it in a second.
26
00:01:00,026 --> 00:01:01,861
No, no, no, no, no. That's not true.
27
00:01:02,829 --> 00:01:05,098
Hey, try to stay on your steady job.
28
00:01:05,698 --> 00:01:06,633
You got it.
29
00:01:06,933 --> 00:01:09,669
All right, so today we're going to talk.
30
00:01:09,669 --> 00:01:11,137
We're going to do a recap of the end
31
00:01:11,137 --> 00:01:12,172
B of A,
32
00:01:13,673 --> 00:01:15,141
where this just got back from this
33
00:01:15,141 --> 00:01:18,278
foreign association expo and rob
34
00:01:19,746 --> 00:01:20,647
every time.
35
00:01:20,647 --> 00:01:22,148
Well, first, I'm going to say something
36
00:01:22,148 --> 00:01:27,487
right off the bat.
37
00:01:27,487 --> 00:01:28,455
First thing I did
38
00:01:28,455 --> 00:01:29,856
when I walked into the Buffet
39
00:01:29,856 --> 00:01:32,292
Expo and I had to get my badge
40
00:01:32,292 --> 00:01:34,360
and I saw Sharon Schuler there
41
00:01:35,361 --> 00:01:36,896
and I seen her smiling
42
00:01:36,896 --> 00:01:37,464
and working
43
00:01:37,464 --> 00:01:39,332
and handing out badges, people.
44
00:01:39,332 --> 00:01:40,834
And I thought to myself,
45
00:01:40,834 --> 00:01:43,503
that is a wonderful human being.
46
00:01:43,503 --> 00:01:44,871
I, you know, some people
47
00:01:44,871 --> 00:01:46,739
that are just so good at their job
48
00:01:46,739 --> 00:01:47,941
and everything and that, yeah,
49
00:01:47,941 --> 00:01:49,676
you don't want to take them for granted.
50
00:01:49,676 --> 00:01:50,210
And
51
00:01:51,377 --> 00:01:52,011
I see your every
52
00:01:52,011 --> 00:01:52,545
year and
53
00:01:52,545 --> 00:01:53,613
maybe I don't ever talk to her
54
00:01:53,613 --> 00:01:55,849
for 5 minutes or 2 minutes or whatever,
55
00:01:56,182 --> 00:01:57,183
but she's always there,
56
00:01:57,183 --> 00:01:58,351
she's always smiling,
57
00:01:58,351 --> 00:02:00,520
she's always helping out and does.
58
00:02:00,753 --> 00:02:01,721
She's the
59
00:02:03,523 --> 00:02:04,491
engagement manager.
60
00:02:04,491 --> 00:02:05,859
Member engagement manager
61
00:02:05,859 --> 00:02:07,794
for the for the IT
62
00:02:07,794 --> 00:02:09,362
and I want to give a shout out to her
63
00:02:09,362 --> 00:02:11,731
because she just such a good job
64
00:02:11,731 --> 00:02:12,832
and she's just a wonderful human
65
00:02:12,832 --> 00:02:14,267
being and and the
66
00:02:14,267 --> 00:02:16,236
if is very lucky to have her.
67
00:02:16,236 --> 00:02:18,304
She is beautiful on the inside
68
00:02:18,304 --> 00:02:20,039
as well as on the outside.
69
00:02:20,039 --> 00:02:22,041
She is such an ass.
70
00:02:22,041 --> 00:02:24,944
I've known her for 18 years now
71
00:02:25,178 --> 00:02:27,380
since I started doing WFA schools
72
00:02:27,380 --> 00:02:27,981
and everything.
73
00:02:27,981 --> 00:02:31,284
And boy, if every time you see
74
00:02:31,284 --> 00:02:33,453
her, just the big smile on her face,
75
00:02:33,453 --> 00:02:35,455
she can't wait to talk to you.
76
00:02:35,455 --> 00:02:37,457
She is so much better than you.
77
00:02:37,457 --> 00:02:37,824
And I
78
00:02:40,627 --> 00:02:42,061
just absolutely the best.
79
00:02:42,061 --> 00:02:44,697
She's the best. Yeah, I'm just.
80
00:02:44,697 --> 00:02:46,065
You can't see her
81
00:02:46,065 --> 00:02:47,967
and think about her and be positive
82
00:02:47,967 --> 00:02:48,468
about this.
83
00:02:48,468 --> 00:02:50,003
About her. So just.
84
00:02:50,003 --> 00:02:51,171
Just a shout out to her
85
00:02:51,171 --> 00:02:51,604
and all that
86
00:02:51,604 --> 00:02:53,940
she does for the end of Evvie.
87
00:02:53,940 --> 00:02:55,141
All right,
88
00:02:55,575 --> 00:02:56,142
in there, if.
89
00:02:56,142 --> 00:02:59,312
Hey, Rob, I every time
90
00:02:59,312 --> 00:03:00,013
I go to the end of life
91
00:03:00,013 --> 00:03:02,582
fair brings up a lot of emotions for me.
92
00:03:02,582 --> 00:03:03,483
Okay?
93
00:03:03,716 --> 00:03:05,818
One is
94
00:03:05,852 --> 00:03:06,953
it takes me
95
00:03:06,953 --> 00:03:07,954
it takes me a few days
96
00:03:07,954 --> 00:03:09,923
to come down from it.
97
00:03:09,923 --> 00:03:11,124
It's so exciting
98
00:03:11,124 --> 00:03:13,426
for me to see all the members
99
00:03:13,426 --> 00:03:14,794
and everybody get together
100
00:03:14,794 --> 00:03:16,462
and the meeting people,
101
00:03:16,462 --> 00:03:17,997
new people, people
102
00:03:17,997 --> 00:03:19,465
I've known in colleagues.
103
00:03:19,465 --> 00:03:21,935
And it's just there's
104
00:03:21,935 --> 00:03:23,770
no there's no event.
105
00:03:23,770 --> 00:03:24,537
And I know it's hard
106
00:03:24,537 --> 00:03:25,471
for everybody to get away.
107
00:03:25,471 --> 00:03:26,973
I completely understand that.
108
00:03:26,973 --> 00:03:29,075
I've been times when I was a contractor,
109
00:03:29,075 --> 00:03:30,843
when the end of day crept up on me,
110
00:03:30,843 --> 00:03:32,545
the expo and I and I just couldn't go
111
00:03:33,513 --> 00:03:34,013
too busy.
112
00:03:34,013 --> 00:03:34,547
I had
113
00:03:34,547 --> 00:03:35,281
jobs scheduled
114
00:03:35,281 --> 00:03:38,251
and I totally understand that
115
00:03:38,518 --> 00:03:43,156
next year in New Orleans, man, this
116
00:03:44,324 --> 00:03:46,926
this event is so damn good, Rob.
117
00:03:46,926 --> 00:03:47,827
It's good for the soul.
118
00:03:47,827 --> 00:03:48,728
If you're in this industry,
119
00:03:48,728 --> 00:03:49,562
it's good for you.
120
00:03:49,562 --> 00:03:51,931
And I'll tell you what I saw.
121
00:03:51,931 --> 00:03:54,033
I saw some people this year
122
00:03:54,033 --> 00:03:55,101
that had not attended
123
00:03:55,101 --> 00:03:57,303
for many, many years for various reasons.
124
00:03:57,337 --> 00:03:59,706
Okay.
125
00:03:59,706 --> 00:04:00,306
And one guy
126
00:04:00,306 --> 00:04:01,674
that I don't want to mention names
127
00:04:01,674 --> 00:04:03,042
because I haven't talked to him
128
00:04:03,042 --> 00:04:03,376
for years,
129
00:04:03,376 --> 00:04:05,478
but the one guy who's been kind of,
130
00:04:05,478 --> 00:04:08,581
you know, kind of
131
00:04:08,581 --> 00:04:11,117
you know, got away from the buffet
132
00:04:11,117 --> 00:04:13,786
and he's, you know, kind of, you know,
133
00:04:13,786 --> 00:04:14,654
kind of went, Mia,
134
00:04:14,654 --> 00:04:16,022
you couldn't find a guy.
135
00:04:16,022 --> 00:04:18,992
And and he showed up this year.
136
00:04:18,992 --> 00:04:19,926
And
137
00:04:20,093 --> 00:04:21,294
and some of the guys that have,
138
00:04:21,294 --> 00:04:22,428
for various reasons, weren't
139
00:04:22,428 --> 00:04:24,197
around the buffet for the last few years.
140
00:04:24,197 --> 00:04:26,399
They I saw them this year
141
00:04:26,399 --> 00:04:28,501
and I know
142
00:04:28,501 --> 00:04:31,004
it was good for their soul to be there.
143
00:04:31,004 --> 00:04:32,739
And when they got around people
144
00:04:32,739 --> 00:04:33,406
and they realize
145
00:04:33,406 --> 00:04:34,874
how much people respected them
146
00:04:34,874 --> 00:04:36,976
and how many how much they missed them,
147
00:04:36,976 --> 00:04:38,111
I think it was great.
148
00:04:38,111 --> 00:04:39,979
It was good for me to see him.
149
00:04:39,979 --> 00:04:41,581
It was really good for me to see them
150
00:04:41,581 --> 00:04:43,583
and it was good for me to see that that
151
00:04:44,550 --> 00:04:46,185
they were enjoying the experience.
152
00:04:46,185 --> 00:04:47,420
And, you know, people
153
00:04:47,420 --> 00:04:48,221
reaching out to them
154
00:04:48,221 --> 00:04:50,590
and hugging them and saying, Man,
155
00:04:50,590 --> 00:04:52,091
I missed you and whatever
156
00:04:52,091 --> 00:04:53,159
and glad to see you.
157
00:04:53,159 --> 00:04:54,794
And it just couldn't
158
00:04:54,794 --> 00:04:55,395
have been any
159
00:04:55,395 --> 00:04:55,895
and it just
160
00:04:55,895 --> 00:04:58,598
could not have been any better.
161
00:04:58,598 --> 00:04:59,932
They gave out a.
162
00:04:59,932 --> 00:05:02,669
You mean to say that
163
00:05:02,669 --> 00:05:03,202
it was good
164
00:05:03,202 --> 00:05:03,670
for you
165
00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:07,173
to see them or good for them to see you?
166
00:05:07,573 --> 00:05:09,008
It was good for me to see them
167
00:05:09,008 --> 00:05:10,877
and good for them to be there.
168
00:05:10,877 --> 00:05:11,344
I think.
169
00:05:11,344 --> 00:05:12,512
I think what you mean
170
00:05:12,512 --> 00:05:15,682
though it was good for them to see you
171
00:05:16,316 --> 00:05:18,451
now that you're a director.
172
00:05:18,484 --> 00:05:20,553
Well, no, no, no, no.
173
00:05:20,553 --> 00:05:21,854
I'm not like that.
174
00:05:21,854 --> 00:05:22,789
No, not at all.
175
00:05:22,789 --> 00:05:25,091
When I'm there, I'm regular guy.
176
00:05:25,158 --> 00:05:26,793
Yeah, no, no, no, no.
177
00:05:26,793 --> 00:05:28,294
That didn't even cross my mind.
178
00:05:28,294 --> 00:05:29,362
You're a regular guy
179
00:05:29,362 --> 00:05:32,131
with a podcast and a DirecTV title.
180
00:05:32,131 --> 00:05:32,832
Come up.
181
00:05:32,832 --> 00:05:34,200
Put my pants on one leg at
182
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:35,702
a time, just like you do. Rob
183
00:05:37,103 --> 00:05:37,937
Actually, I don't know if
184
00:05:37,937 --> 00:05:38,671
it's just like you,
185
00:05:38,671 --> 00:05:39,906
but now it's like circus.
186
00:05:39,906 --> 00:05:40,807
So every time
187
00:05:40,807 --> 00:05:41,874
I get dressed in the morning
188
00:05:41,874 --> 00:05:43,943
and put my pants on
189
00:05:43,943 --> 00:05:45,945
with my bad knee and whatever, and
190
00:05:47,113 --> 00:05:48,614
so it's amazing when they all fall down
191
00:05:48,614 --> 00:05:50,583
and break a hip, just put your hands on.
192
00:05:50,583 --> 00:05:51,918
How did you how did that happen?
193
00:05:51,918 --> 00:05:53,486
I was putting my pants on.
194
00:05:53,486 --> 00:05:54,921
Yeah. Yeah.
195
00:05:54,921 --> 00:05:56,856
You get in a fight, car wreck?
196
00:05:56,856 --> 00:05:57,657
No, no, just.
197
00:05:57,657 --> 00:06:00,159
Just just put my pants on
198
00:06:01,427 --> 00:06:01,694
for me.
199
00:06:01,694 --> 00:06:03,429
Krupa got was that
200
00:06:03,429 --> 00:06:04,864
was there in attendance
201
00:06:04,864 --> 00:06:08,134
and all the members of the the
202
00:06:09,302 --> 00:06:10,737
the regional training instructors
203
00:06:10,737 --> 00:06:12,372
gave him a plaque
204
00:06:12,372 --> 00:06:14,774
in appreciation of everything he's done.
205
00:06:14,774 --> 00:06:17,076
And I could not have been happier there.
206
00:06:17,076 --> 00:06:18,811
I love Frank Krupa
207
00:06:18,811 --> 00:06:20,480
and what he's done for the industry,
208
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:21,781
and he was one
209
00:06:21,781 --> 00:06:23,883
of my favorite instructors.
210
00:06:23,883 --> 00:06:25,084
And what I'll tell you
211
00:06:25,084 --> 00:06:25,918
something about him.
212
00:06:25,918 --> 00:06:27,587
I told him this story
213
00:06:27,587 --> 00:06:29,288
when I went to one of my first interview
214
00:06:29,288 --> 00:06:30,923
classes.
215
00:06:30,923 --> 00:06:31,524
He wasn't there
216
00:06:31,524 --> 00:06:32,892
in the first or second day.
217
00:06:32,892 --> 00:06:34,460
I think he was coming from Idaho
218
00:06:34,460 --> 00:06:36,062
and there was plane issues or whatever.
219
00:06:36,062 --> 00:06:37,163
He couldn't get there, but he's there.
220
00:06:37,163 --> 00:06:38,364
On day three.
221
00:06:38,564 --> 00:06:40,900
We are installed the floor.
222
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:41,501
We were
223
00:06:41,501 --> 00:06:43,202
just all we had to do is drop a medallion
224
00:06:43,202 --> 00:06:45,471
in which we rooted out for a medallion.
225
00:06:45,471 --> 00:06:47,907
We did a fancy board already.
226
00:06:47,907 --> 00:06:49,041
It was a very nice
227
00:06:49,041 --> 00:06:50,376
Oshkosh custom medallion.
228
00:06:50,376 --> 00:06:51,844
It's a beautiful medallion.
229
00:06:51,844 --> 00:06:53,546
And we were going to drop it in
230
00:06:53,546 --> 00:06:55,348
and send it by the end of the day
231
00:06:55,348 --> 00:06:57,417
and put a coat on it. Okay.
232
00:06:57,417 --> 00:06:59,118
So I said to him,
233
00:06:59,118 --> 00:07:00,286
I said, Frank, I said, Hey,
234
00:07:00,286 --> 00:07:02,121
do you not want us to to
235
00:07:02,121 --> 00:07:03,856
to glue this medallion down? Because
236
00:07:04,891 --> 00:07:05,291
in a few
237
00:07:05,291 --> 00:07:06,426
hours the class is over
238
00:07:06,426 --> 00:07:06,893
and, you know, it's
239
00:07:06,893 --> 00:07:08,394
going to be all tore out.
240
00:07:08,394 --> 00:07:10,763
And I love what he said.
241
00:07:10,763 --> 00:07:11,831
He goes, Hey, Lane,
242
00:07:11,831 --> 00:07:13,566
I didn't get on a plane
243
00:07:13,566 --> 00:07:15,601
and travel halfway across the country
244
00:07:15,601 --> 00:07:17,570
to do a job.
245
00:07:17,570 --> 00:07:18,404
So we're going to put it down.
246
00:07:18,404 --> 00:07:19,806
We're going to glue it down.
247
00:07:19,806 --> 00:07:22,442
Now that that's my man right there, man.
248
00:07:23,042 --> 00:07:25,311
That's pretty damn cool.
249
00:07:25,311 --> 00:07:26,012
So
250
00:07:28,681 --> 00:07:30,716
in our in another life,
251
00:07:30,716 --> 00:07:31,551
you know, the company
252
00:07:31,551 --> 00:07:35,688
we used to work for,
253
00:07:35,688 --> 00:07:38,391
we built the training center
254
00:07:38,491 --> 00:07:39,792
and the first training
255
00:07:39,792 --> 00:07:40,626
said the first school
256
00:07:40,626 --> 00:07:41,661
we did the training center.
257
00:07:41,661 --> 00:07:43,930
I said, Let's do a
258
00:07:43,930 --> 00:07:44,797
let's do it big.
259
00:07:44,797 --> 00:07:46,499
You know, let's bring in as many people
260
00:07:46,499 --> 00:07:48,835
as we can and more contact.
261
00:07:48,835 --> 00:07:50,870
We get in touch with the FAA and
262
00:07:51,871 --> 00:07:52,405
you know,
263
00:07:52,405 --> 00:07:53,339
we didn't install
264
00:07:53,339 --> 00:07:55,274
Santa finished the whole thing to
265
00:07:55,274 --> 00:07:58,144
to kick the whole thing off so Frank
266
00:07:59,312 --> 00:08:02,215
Frank came in, he ran the school,
267
00:08:02,215 --> 00:08:03,349
you know,
268
00:08:03,349 --> 00:08:05,384
and I was so excited to have him
269
00:08:05,384 --> 00:08:06,752
because I had done a lot of schools
270
00:08:06,752 --> 00:08:08,221
with Frank and,
271
00:08:08,221 --> 00:08:10,289
you know, really liked the way that
272
00:08:10,823 --> 00:08:13,259
that he did teaching you know.
273
00:08:13,593 --> 00:08:15,661
Yeah, I learned some stuff from him
274
00:08:16,496 --> 00:08:17,730
through the years
275
00:08:17,730 --> 00:08:20,433
just like is his demeanor too you know
276
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,702
so him that the brass
277
00:08:22,702 --> 00:08:25,404
yeah this guy is kicking this guy is
278
00:08:25,905 --> 00:08:28,975
you know this is who we want
279
00:08:28,975 --> 00:08:30,943
to lead off our first cool
280
00:08:30,943 --> 00:08:32,979
everybody's there
281
00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:34,981
all the higher ups everybody.
282
00:08:34,981 --> 00:08:37,483
And I said to Frank, I go
283
00:08:37,483 --> 00:08:40,086
do me a favor and just, you know,
284
00:08:40,086 --> 00:08:42,688
I take it off, I'll introduce you.
285
00:08:42,722 --> 00:08:43,856
You know, I'll do introductions
286
00:08:43,856 --> 00:08:45,024
and everything, but,
287
00:08:45,024 --> 00:08:45,892
you know, I want you to.
288
00:08:45,892 --> 00:08:47,960
And he's like, Yeah, no problem.
289
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,095
I got it. And you know,
290
00:08:50,730 --> 00:08:54,066
so I introduce him and he stands up.
291
00:08:54,300 --> 00:08:56,536
That's got to be 60 people, right?
292
00:08:57,870 --> 00:09:00,740
And he starts and he and all of a sudden
293
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,743
he starts to go down this rabbit hole
294
00:09:05,311 --> 00:09:06,746
and man, did
295
00:09:06,746 --> 00:09:09,248
he start to get angry
296
00:09:10,283 --> 00:09:14,320
about people not doing things correctly
297
00:09:14,754 --> 00:09:16,622
and how important schools are
298
00:09:16,622 --> 00:09:19,458
and how important great sequence is.
299
00:09:19,458 --> 00:09:21,527
And in their code abrasion
300
00:09:21,894 --> 00:09:25,164
and I mean, oh my God.
301
00:09:25,364 --> 00:09:26,599
At one point I'm
302
00:09:26,599 --> 00:09:28,134
I'm looking over everybody
303
00:09:28,134 --> 00:09:30,636
and everybody's looking at me like,
304
00:09:30,636 --> 00:09:31,871
is this guy for real?
305
00:09:31,871 --> 00:09:32,371
And I'm like,
306
00:09:32,371 --> 00:09:33,973
he and I keep looking at her.
307
00:09:33,973 --> 00:09:35,975
I go, He's pretty passionate.
308
00:09:35,975 --> 00:09:38,778
Yeah, yeah, he's pretty passionate.
309
00:09:39,145 --> 00:09:42,415
And at one point he is he takes a
310
00:09:43,115 --> 00:09:45,551
it takes a board and he goes, sometimes
311
00:09:45,551 --> 00:09:47,486
I just like to slap people
312
00:09:47,486 --> 00:09:48,988
in the head because
313
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:54,927
I love it.
314
00:09:54,927 --> 00:09:56,662
And I'm like, Oh my God.
315
00:09:56,662 --> 00:09:58,397
And you could
316
00:09:58,397 --> 00:09:59,298
but you could tell
317
00:09:59,298 --> 00:10:02,401
it was coming from the right place.
318
00:10:02,401 --> 00:10:05,571
But it just it just took everybody
319
00:10:05,571 --> 00:10:08,240
the the floor guys got it.
320
00:10:08,641 --> 00:10:11,010
Anybody who was a floor guy, they got it.
321
00:10:11,010 --> 00:10:12,812
And they were right there with them.
322
00:10:12,812 --> 00:10:13,212
Yeah,
323
00:10:13,212 --> 00:10:15,615
but it was the senior brass
324
00:10:15,615 --> 00:10:17,416
that was like, what?
325
00:10:17,450 --> 00:10:18,985
What they're all going to be like.
326
00:10:18,985 --> 00:10:21,454
Yeah, you guys are in trouble
327
00:10:21,454 --> 00:10:23,022
before you put the first board down.
328
00:10:23,022 --> 00:10:23,990
I'm like,
329
00:10:23,990 --> 00:10:24,690
No, he's
330
00:10:24,690 --> 00:10:25,958
just really passionate
331
00:10:25,958 --> 00:10:28,794
about doing things.
332
00:10:28,794 --> 00:10:30,363
You know, the right way.
333
00:10:30,363 --> 00:10:31,664
Yeah, exactly.
334
00:10:31,664 --> 00:10:34,467
And it turned out to be just an amazing,
335
00:10:34,900 --> 00:10:35,801
amazing class.
336
00:10:35,801 --> 00:10:38,004
And Frank was amazing every day.
337
00:10:38,004 --> 00:10:40,673
Loved working with him.
338
00:10:40,673 --> 00:10:41,307
So that's great.
339
00:10:41,307 --> 00:10:42,274
I'm glad you got to see him.
340
00:10:42,274 --> 00:10:44,710
But every time I hear that name,
341
00:10:44,710 --> 00:10:45,511
I just think of that
342
00:10:45,511 --> 00:10:47,613
first speech that he gave
343
00:10:47,613 --> 00:10:49,081
where he picked up a board. And
344
00:10:51,317 --> 00:10:53,953
you ever have you ever have two friends,
345
00:10:54,420 --> 00:10:56,255
but they don't know each other
346
00:10:56,255 --> 00:10:58,290
and you like them both a lot.
347
00:10:58,524 --> 00:10:59,258
And then you can't
348
00:10:59,258 --> 00:11:01,260
wait for them to meet each other also.
349
00:11:01,260 --> 00:11:02,261
And when they meet each other,
350
00:11:02,261 --> 00:11:04,296
they don't like each other.
351
00:11:04,597 --> 00:11:06,399
I had a friend one time
352
00:11:06,399 --> 00:11:09,568
that he was a high school wrestler.
353
00:11:09,735 --> 00:11:11,270
He was like one of the best
354
00:11:11,270 --> 00:11:11,937
100 athletes
355
00:11:11,937 --> 00:11:13,506
to graduate high school in 1978.
356
00:11:13,506 --> 00:11:14,674
And some book
357
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,375
and the other friend
358
00:11:16,375 --> 00:11:18,044
I knew was like a boxing champion.
359
00:11:18,044 --> 00:11:19,045
He was a stud
360
00:11:19,045 --> 00:11:20,246
and he was lifting weights at the time.
361
00:11:20,246 --> 00:11:22,648
The power that they're both great guys.
362
00:11:22,648 --> 00:11:24,917
And then we met to play football
363
00:11:24,917 --> 00:11:26,352
and they were on the opposite teams.
364
00:11:26,352 --> 00:11:27,753
Oh my God.
365
00:11:27,753 --> 00:11:28,387
I thought they were
366
00:11:28,387 --> 00:11:29,789
going to kill each other.
367
00:11:29,789 --> 00:11:31,090
And neither one of them
368
00:11:31,090 --> 00:11:32,191
know how to play football.
369
00:11:32,191 --> 00:11:33,159
They're great athletes,
370
00:11:33,159 --> 00:11:33,826
but they don't like
371
00:11:33,826 --> 00:11:35,127
they're both blocking each other.
372
00:11:35,127 --> 00:11:36,729
And I mean blocking and blocking
373
00:11:36,729 --> 00:11:37,897
and blocking and blocking.
374
00:11:37,897 --> 00:11:38,764
And the play is already on
375
00:11:38,764 --> 00:11:39,999
the other side of the field.
376
00:11:39,999 --> 00:11:41,967
Like, you know, I mean,
377
00:11:41,967 --> 00:11:43,436
I really in the gym,
378
00:11:43,436 --> 00:11:44,603
we had to break them up from fighting
379
00:11:44,603 --> 00:11:47,506
like well and then go as planned.
380
00:11:47,506 --> 00:11:48,541
But you're right,
381
00:11:48,541 --> 00:11:50,142
Frank is a great guy
382
00:11:50,142 --> 00:11:51,243
and I think I know
383
00:11:51,243 --> 00:11:53,612
it was good for his soul to be there.
384
00:11:53,612 --> 00:11:56,115
And he's a wonderful, wonderful guy, man.
385
00:11:56,115 --> 00:11:57,750
That made my day to see him there.
386
00:11:57,750 --> 00:11:59,852
I think he was a teacher.
387
00:11:59,852 --> 00:12:00,519
Well, he was a
388
00:12:00,519 --> 00:12:02,288
he was the main teacher instructor
389
00:12:02,288 --> 00:12:03,322
for the NWA.
390
00:12:03,322 --> 00:12:03,756
No, no.
391
00:12:03,756 --> 00:12:04,957
But I think.
392
00:12:04,990 --> 00:12:06,592
Oh, he was, he was.
393
00:12:06,592 --> 00:12:08,394
Well I taught. Teacher.
394
00:12:08,394 --> 00:12:09,829
And I told him that I said
395
00:12:09,829 --> 00:12:10,429
I said that,
396
00:12:10,429 --> 00:12:10,830
you know,
397
00:12:10,830 --> 00:12:12,698
he made such an impression on me.
398
00:12:12,698 --> 00:12:13,699
And I remember
399
00:12:13,699 --> 00:12:14,967
he told me he was a schoolteacher,
400
00:12:14,967 --> 00:12:16,535
and you could tell he was a teacher.
401
00:12:16,535 --> 00:12:18,070
Yeah, because he does such a good.
402
00:12:18,070 --> 00:12:20,072
He breaks things down so easily.
403
00:12:20,072 --> 00:12:21,574
And he did a phenomenal job
404
00:12:21,574 --> 00:12:23,242
in instructing and that.
405
00:12:23,242 --> 00:12:24,844
Yeah, he had a teaching background.
406
00:12:24,844 --> 00:12:26,445
We should have him on the show.
407
00:12:26,445 --> 00:12:29,882
I would love to is is an artist
408
00:12:30,449 --> 00:12:31,817
and to this day he's we got.
409
00:12:31,817 --> 00:12:33,753
To get him on the show. Right.
410
00:12:33,753 --> 00:12:35,221
He had to write that one down.
411
00:12:35,221 --> 00:12:37,356
He's a sculptor does hand
412
00:12:37,356 --> 00:12:39,091
carving woodcarving and stuff like that.
413
00:12:39,091 --> 00:12:40,326
And, you know, so he's a
414
00:12:40,326 --> 00:12:40,893
he's a good dude.
415
00:12:41,927 --> 00:12:42,661
All right.
416
00:12:42,661 --> 00:12:43,262
So when you
417
00:12:43,262 --> 00:12:45,364
talked about friends, meeting friends,
418
00:12:45,364 --> 00:12:47,933
that's what I'm really scared about
419
00:12:48,901 --> 00:12:50,703
you and Peter meeting,
420
00:12:50,703 --> 00:12:52,571
because on one hand, I thought, you know,
421
00:12:52,571 --> 00:12:54,273
you guys would be, you know, great.
422
00:12:54,273 --> 00:12:57,877
But I don't know.
423
00:12:57,877 --> 00:12:59,311
It's got to be an A.
424
00:12:59,411 --> 00:13:01,380
I don't know. I'm going to go.
425
00:13:01,380 --> 00:13:03,783
I will only meet him in a public place.
426
00:13:03,783 --> 00:13:05,851
Yeah, he looks pretty big
427
00:13:06,452 --> 00:13:08,087
and I've said some things.
428
00:13:08,087 --> 00:13:10,289
So you said some stuff? Yeah.
429
00:13:10,289 --> 00:13:10,623
Yeah.
430
00:13:10,623 --> 00:13:14,126
In fact, we had a surprise retirement
431
00:13:14,126 --> 00:13:16,629
party form last week.
432
00:13:17,429 --> 00:13:19,265
Oh, it was.
433
00:13:19,265 --> 00:13:21,433
It was pretty fun. That's. That's cool.
434
00:13:21,567 --> 00:13:23,102
It was pretty good.
435
00:13:23,102 --> 00:13:24,003
And
436
00:13:25,037 --> 00:13:27,039
even my brother said to me,
437
00:13:27,039 --> 00:13:28,073
You sure you're going to be able
438
00:13:28,073 --> 00:13:29,441
to get Pete there?
439
00:13:30,342 --> 00:13:32,478
You know, because he yeah, he kind of
440
00:13:33,712 --> 00:13:34,380
doesn't do that with
441
00:13:34,380 --> 00:13:35,848
his own trumpet, you know?
442
00:13:35,848 --> 00:13:38,150
And I'm like, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
443
00:13:38,150 --> 00:13:38,784
My brother's like,
444
00:13:38,784 --> 00:13:39,885
I think you should tell him
445
00:13:39,885 --> 00:13:41,020
just so he shows up.
446
00:13:41,020 --> 00:13:43,222
You can have all these people there,
447
00:13:43,222 --> 00:13:45,558
you know, you got to tell him.
448
00:13:45,558 --> 00:13:46,692
So I was talking to his kids
449
00:13:46,692 --> 00:13:47,159
and they're like,
450
00:13:47,159 --> 00:13:48,861
No, no, no, please don't tell him.
451
00:13:48,861 --> 00:13:51,363
We'll we'll get him there.
452
00:13:51,363 --> 00:13:53,132
And I was like, okay.
453
00:13:53,132 --> 00:13:55,167
So we had probably 40 or 50 people.
454
00:13:55,167 --> 00:13:56,468
I rented a big pavilion
455
00:13:56,468 --> 00:13:57,536
down to State Park.
456
00:13:57,536 --> 00:13:59,104
It was awesome, right?
457
00:13:59,104 --> 00:14:01,807
And we get the grills going, everything.
458
00:14:01,807 --> 00:14:02,241
And
459
00:14:03,409 --> 00:14:06,579
so we get a call from Peter's daughter.
460
00:14:06,579 --> 00:14:08,347
You know, we're 5 minutes out
461
00:14:08,347 --> 00:14:10,082
and I'm like, I can't believe it.
462
00:14:10,082 --> 00:14:11,116
He still doesn't know
463
00:14:11,116 --> 00:14:12,985
this is going to be great.
464
00:14:12,985 --> 00:14:15,321
So what she told him was,
465
00:14:15,321 --> 00:14:16,555
we're going to a party
466
00:14:16,555 --> 00:14:18,624
so you can meet my boyfriend's family.
467
00:14:18,958 --> 00:14:20,226
They're having a big cookout.
468
00:14:21,193 --> 00:14:21,527
So he's
469
00:14:21,527 --> 00:14:24,563
like, Oh, okay, no, yeah, I'll do that.
470
00:14:24,563 --> 00:14:28,467
So he's walking across the field and,
471
00:14:28,467 --> 00:14:28,834
you know,
472
00:14:28,834 --> 00:14:30,269
he's kind of looking and looking
473
00:14:30,269 --> 00:14:32,404
and he sees me
474
00:14:32,404 --> 00:14:34,506
and my son at the grills and he's like,
475
00:14:35,407 --> 00:14:37,243
What the hell is Bob doing here
476
00:14:37,243 --> 00:14:38,577
cooking for this family?
477
00:14:38,577 --> 00:14:41,180
Wow. They did they hire or.
478
00:14:41,347 --> 00:14:41,680
You know.
479
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:42,248
I know he does.
480
00:14:42,248 --> 00:14:42,815
Yeah,
481
00:14:43,148 --> 00:14:43,782
it took it
482
00:14:43,782 --> 00:14:46,285
took a while for him to figure it out and
483
00:14:46,752 --> 00:14:49,321
and so it was like I said,
484
00:14:49,355 --> 00:14:50,422
it was a great surprise
485
00:14:50,422 --> 00:14:52,291
and everything had a great day.
486
00:14:52,291 --> 00:14:54,660
But your name came up a few times.
487
00:14:55,127 --> 00:14:55,828
Really?
488
00:14:55,828 --> 00:14:57,363
Yeah, your name came up
489
00:14:57,363 --> 00:14:59,565
and not in a good way.
490
00:14:59,565 --> 00:15:01,300
Well, it's like I can't believe how.
491
00:15:01,300 --> 00:15:03,235
I mean, he's.
492
00:15:03,235 --> 00:15:04,236
I can't believe how mean
493
00:15:04,236 --> 00:15:05,070
when I go, you know,
494
00:15:05,070 --> 00:15:07,072
Pete, it's not you know,
495
00:15:07,072 --> 00:15:08,207
it's not that he's mean.
496
00:15:08,207 --> 00:15:09,541
It's just he's
497
00:15:09,541 --> 00:15:11,610
well above me in the pecking order.
498
00:15:11,610 --> 00:15:14,113
So true. Yeah, it's just. It is.
499
00:15:15,180 --> 00:15:16,682
True.
500
00:15:16,682 --> 00:15:19,118
I said, but if you heard the outtakes,
501
00:15:20,786 --> 00:15:21,921
that's when, you know,
502
00:15:21,921 --> 00:15:23,155
we kind of even things up
503
00:15:23,155 --> 00:15:24,757
and I'm much
504
00:15:24,757 --> 00:15:26,926
during the outtakes I said but.
505
00:15:26,926 --> 00:15:29,461
You said he kind of walks
506
00:15:29,461 --> 00:15:31,230
to the beat of his own drum.
507
00:15:31,230 --> 00:15:31,530
Those are
508
00:15:31,530 --> 00:15:32,665
the type of guys are more likely
509
00:15:32,665 --> 00:15:34,366
to beat you up in life
510
00:15:34,366 --> 00:15:36,635
with they don't follow social decorum
511
00:15:36,635 --> 00:15:39,872
and social norms, you know what I mean?
512
00:15:40,105 --> 00:15:42,374
So yeah, we'll meet in a public place
513
00:15:42,374 --> 00:15:43,342
if we meet.
514
00:15:44,076 --> 00:15:45,544
Okay? Okay.
515
00:15:45,544 --> 00:15:46,111
Hey,
516
00:15:47,012 --> 00:15:48,547
here's the thing.
517
00:15:49,381 --> 00:15:51,216
The hardwood floor business is hard.
518
00:15:51,216 --> 00:15:52,818
It's hard. It's a hard business.
519
00:15:52,818 --> 00:15:54,987
It's very difficult to do this job.
520
00:15:54,987 --> 00:15:56,055
And
521
00:15:56,555 --> 00:15:58,257
it is so good for the soul
522
00:15:58,257 --> 00:16:01,093
to come together once a year
523
00:16:01,093 --> 00:16:01,927
that,
524
00:16:02,928 --> 00:16:04,596
you know, for everybody that that,
525
00:16:04,596 --> 00:16:04,897
you know,
526
00:16:04,897 --> 00:16:06,031
there were like minded people
527
00:16:06,031 --> 00:16:06,865
that do the same thing.
528
00:16:06,865 --> 00:16:08,701
Big companies, small companies.
529
00:16:08,701 --> 00:16:10,469
I mean, this is your tribe, man.
530
00:16:10,469 --> 00:16:12,037
This is these are your people.
531
00:16:12,037 --> 00:16:13,672
Nobody else in your life will understand
532
00:16:13,672 --> 00:16:14,840
it like everybody here.
533
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:15,708
And if you
534
00:16:15,708 --> 00:16:16,775
if you're of the mindset
535
00:16:16,775 --> 00:16:18,177
that I'm just one guy,
536
00:16:18,177 --> 00:16:19,345
I'm just, you know,
537
00:16:19,345 --> 00:16:21,613
I don't do it for years like like like
538
00:16:21,747 --> 00:16:23,449
like Lenny or some of the other
539
00:16:23,449 --> 00:16:24,350
guys that we know
540
00:16:25,951 --> 00:16:26,885
and that
541
00:16:27,386 --> 00:16:28,320
that this
542
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,222
maybe is not as important or whatever.
543
00:16:30,222 --> 00:16:33,425
I, I hope that is not your mindset, man,
544
00:16:33,425 --> 00:16:34,760
because everybody is important.
545
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,028
Everybody one guy,
546
00:16:36,028 --> 00:16:37,162
if you're one shop guy
547
00:16:37,162 --> 00:16:39,131
that works out in the middle of nowhere,
548
00:16:39,131 --> 00:16:40,499
it's important for you to be there
549
00:16:40,499 --> 00:16:42,067
because these are your people
550
00:16:42,067 --> 00:16:43,936
and the end of it they did.
551
00:16:43,936 --> 00:16:45,270
Hats off to them
552
00:16:45,270 --> 00:16:47,272
and thank God for them really
553
00:16:47,272 --> 00:16:48,774
that it gives us all a chance
554
00:16:48,774 --> 00:16:51,176
to get together and more than anything,
555
00:16:52,111 --> 00:16:54,513
just get together and meet each other
556
00:16:54,513 --> 00:16:55,848
and have a drink with each other
557
00:16:55,848 --> 00:16:58,117
and go out. I met some great guys, man.
558
00:16:58,117 --> 00:16:59,918
I met guys that I that I normally,
559
00:16:59,918 --> 00:17:01,053
you know, get to see every year
560
00:17:01,053 --> 00:17:01,587
and what have you.
561
00:17:01,587 --> 00:17:03,188
But I like it when I get to know
562
00:17:03,188 --> 00:17:04,890
someone I've never met before.
563
00:17:04,890 --> 00:17:05,958
I got a chance to meet
564
00:17:07,126 --> 00:17:08,994
Sean Kelley in Chicago
565
00:17:08,994 --> 00:17:09,762
and he's just like me.
566
00:17:09,762 --> 00:17:11,563
And you know what I mean?
567
00:17:11,563 --> 00:17:12,798
Come from a family background
568
00:17:12,798 --> 00:17:13,665
like you and I do.
569
00:17:13,665 --> 00:17:15,234
Is that family in the in the trade.
570
00:17:15,234 --> 00:17:16,802
He's The Last of the Mohicans
571
00:17:16,802 --> 00:17:18,604
is an old school floor guy
572
00:17:18,604 --> 00:17:19,705
and a damn good floor
573
00:17:19,705 --> 00:17:21,273
guy in the Chicago area.
574
00:17:21,273 --> 00:17:22,441
It was wonderful to get a chance
575
00:17:22,441 --> 00:17:23,942
to sit down with him.
576
00:17:23,942 --> 00:17:25,644
And and I said, I'm
577
00:17:25,644 --> 00:17:26,211
gonna try and see
578
00:17:26,211 --> 00:17:27,746
if we can get this guy on the podcast.
579
00:17:27,746 --> 00:17:30,449
I was really a Phil Valenti
580
00:17:30,449 --> 00:17:32,251
and his wife, Julie
581
00:17:32,251 --> 00:17:33,318
out of and, you know,
582
00:17:33,318 --> 00:17:34,319
they're out of the Hamptons
583
00:17:34,319 --> 00:17:36,255
area in New York,
584
00:17:36,255 --> 00:17:37,022
which I'd like to
585
00:17:37,022 --> 00:17:38,390
I'd like to talk to him because,
586
00:17:38,390 --> 00:17:38,624
you know,
587
00:17:38,624 --> 00:17:40,059
we always think of the Hamptons, right?
588
00:17:40,059 --> 00:17:41,693
I mean, that's like the royalty.
589
00:17:41,693 --> 00:17:43,095
And and he works in that.
590
00:17:43,095 --> 00:17:44,630
That's his backyard.
591
00:17:44,630 --> 00:17:46,598
But you know, that during COVID,
592
00:17:46,598 --> 00:17:49,068
he told me that they went to Mississippi,
593
00:17:49,868 --> 00:17:50,803
him and his wife, because he
594
00:17:50,803 --> 00:17:51,403
she has family
595
00:17:51,403 --> 00:17:53,305
down there, Oxford, Mississippi,
596
00:17:53,305 --> 00:17:54,640
and kind of got away,
597
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,141
lay low for a while
598
00:17:56,141 --> 00:17:57,543
and he listened to the podcast
599
00:17:57,543 --> 00:17:58,644
the whole time.
600
00:17:58,710 --> 00:18:01,480
So it was kind of cool to sit down
601
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:02,915
and meet him and his wife.
602
00:18:02,915 --> 00:18:05,884
And so, yeah, so I.
603
00:18:05,918 --> 00:18:10,923
Got, I got my first mowing last week.
604
00:18:10,923 --> 00:18:13,559
Oh you're you Magellan last week. Yeah.
605
00:18:13,692 --> 00:18:14,026
Yep.
606
00:18:14,026 --> 00:18:16,228
Last week I got my first mowing.
607
00:18:16,695 --> 00:18:17,329
I'm so sorry
608
00:18:17,329 --> 00:18:18,931
you didn't get a chance to go.
609
00:18:18,931 --> 00:18:20,532
When I looked at the numbers of everybody
610
00:18:20,532 --> 00:18:21,733
that was going
611
00:18:21,967 --> 00:18:23,769
and I said, there's 42 people,
612
00:18:25,337 --> 00:18:27,406
he just we just
613
00:18:27,406 --> 00:18:28,707
didn't make the cut,
614
00:18:28,707 --> 00:18:31,310
didn't of is that it's
615
00:18:31,310 --> 00:18:32,945
not it's not a jealousy thing
616
00:18:32,945 --> 00:18:33,545
that I'd be worried
617
00:18:33,545 --> 00:18:34,480
about people talking to you
618
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:35,981
more than me or anything like that.
619
00:18:35,981 --> 00:18:36,715
I just
620
00:18:36,748 --> 00:18:38,250
if we're going to talk 43 people,
621
00:18:38,250 --> 00:18:39,451
I'm sure you would have been.
622
00:18:39,451 --> 00:18:40,686
Wait a minute.
623
00:18:41,420 --> 00:18:43,122
We had a new receptionist.
624
00:18:43,122 --> 00:18:46,058
I'm sure we would have got you in,
625
00:18:46,058 --> 00:18:47,192
so. But you got the lie low.
626
00:18:47,192 --> 00:18:47,993
That's important.
627
00:18:47,993 --> 00:18:48,894
That's good stuff.
628
00:18:48,894 --> 00:18:50,496
I, I,
629
00:18:50,496 --> 00:18:51,029
i help
630
00:18:51,029 --> 00:18:54,099
Pauline take down some Easter stuff.
631
00:18:54,099 --> 00:18:55,334
Wow. No kidding.
632
00:18:55,334 --> 00:18:57,503
That is exciting. Yeah.
633
00:18:57,503 --> 00:18:58,904
Did you talk to anybody in Canada
634
00:18:58,904 --> 00:19:01,940
by any chance?
635
00:19:01,940 --> 00:19:03,275
I'm going there next week.
636
00:19:03,275 --> 00:19:04,576
I'll save that story.
637
00:19:04,576 --> 00:19:06,879
I'll say, okay. Okay.
638
00:19:07,346 --> 00:19:09,281
Well, did you get a chance
639
00:19:09,281 --> 00:19:10,983
to separate your clothes at all
640
00:19:10,983 --> 00:19:12,818
or go through the old shirts?
641
00:19:12,818 --> 00:19:14,720
I got some new underwear.
642
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:15,154
Throughout the.
643
00:19:15,154 --> 00:19:16,822
Old and I got some new underwear
644
00:19:16,822 --> 00:19:17,623
last week.
645
00:19:17,623 --> 00:19:18,891
Yeah, listen, that's important.
646
00:19:18,891 --> 00:19:21,093
I was thinking, you know, I know Wayne
647
00:19:21,093 --> 00:19:23,495
just probably having the time of his life
648
00:19:23,495 --> 00:19:25,063
at the WFAA.
649
00:19:25,063 --> 00:19:27,633
Yeah, but,
650
00:19:27,633 --> 00:19:27,966
you know,
651
00:19:27,966 --> 00:19:30,502
I had a hell of a week around here to.
652
00:19:30,502 --> 00:19:32,404
The last time you went to the end of Be A
653
00:19:32,404 --> 00:19:34,439
do you remember what your expense was,
654
00:19:35,107 --> 00:19:37,476
what your what you expense that week?
655
00:19:37,476 --> 00:19:40,879
Was it extraordinarily high or something?
656
00:19:40,879 --> 00:19:41,780
Are you going to like
657
00:19:41,780 --> 00:19:43,048
do not fly to Milwaukee
658
00:19:43,048 --> 00:19:44,416
list or something? I
659
00:19:45,817 --> 00:19:46,451
you know, it kind
660
00:19:46,451 --> 00:19:48,720
of reminds me of
661
00:19:49,755 --> 00:19:51,456
we were playing in a hockey tournament
662
00:19:51,456 --> 00:19:53,492
when I was coach and bomb
663
00:19:54,226 --> 00:19:55,627
and the tournament ends.
664
00:19:55,627 --> 00:19:56,962
We're in the championship game,
665
00:19:56,962 --> 00:19:59,164
but it ends in a shootout.
666
00:19:59,164 --> 00:20:01,867
So it was pretty exciting, you know,
667
00:20:01,867 --> 00:20:04,169
and we won.
668
00:20:05,003 --> 00:20:06,405
And the way you do a shootout
669
00:20:06,405 --> 00:20:08,373
is you pick three players and they go out
670
00:20:08,373 --> 00:20:09,541
and then if the neck
671
00:20:09,541 --> 00:20:10,876
and then if it's still tied,
672
00:20:10,876 --> 00:20:12,778
another three and then, well,
673
00:20:12,778 --> 00:20:14,580
we went through three rounds.
674
00:20:14,580 --> 00:20:15,347
Right.
675
00:20:15,814 --> 00:20:18,383
So it was the ninth kid there
676
00:20:18,383 --> 00:20:20,852
and there was nine kids.
677
00:20:20,852 --> 00:20:23,021
We win this tournament up in Vermont.
678
00:20:23,021 --> 00:20:25,090
It's huge, right. And we're driving home.
679
00:20:25,891 --> 00:20:27,693
It's about a two hour ride home
680
00:20:27,693 --> 00:20:30,929
and and I was boom is pretty quiet.
681
00:20:32,631 --> 00:20:34,233
Pretty quiet, you know.
682
00:20:34,233 --> 00:20:35,367
And I was like, man, what a
683
00:20:35,367 --> 00:20:36,101
great, you know.
684
00:20:37,135 --> 00:20:38,237
And finally, I
685
00:20:38,237 --> 00:20:39,071
know I could tell
686
00:20:39,071 --> 00:20:41,006
what's the matter with you?
687
00:20:41,206 --> 00:20:42,241
He goes,
688
00:20:43,542 --> 00:20:44,610
How come I didn't go?
689
00:20:44,610 --> 00:20:47,613
Why didn't I get to shoot?
690
00:20:47,613 --> 00:20:49,114
I go, Because you're a defenseman,
691
00:20:49,114 --> 00:20:51,316
you're not for that.
692
00:20:51,316 --> 00:20:52,784
And he goes, Well, you know, so
693
00:20:52,784 --> 00:20:54,553
and so you had him.
694
00:20:54,553 --> 00:20:58,123
He's a defenseman.
695
00:20:58,123 --> 00:20:58,523
I go,
696
00:20:58,523 --> 00:21:00,525
Are you asking me what your number is?
697
00:21:00,892 --> 00:21:02,094
Maybe I have to ask Greg,
698
00:21:02,094 --> 00:21:03,161
what's my number?
699
00:21:03,161 --> 00:21:04,763
So next time I know.
700
00:21:04,763 --> 00:21:05,464
Yeah.
701
00:21:05,931 --> 00:21:09,501
So I said you're you were number 14 four.
702
00:21:09,768 --> 00:21:11,169
Oh my God.
703
00:21:11,169 --> 00:21:14,106
He exploded 14.
704
00:21:14,806 --> 00:21:16,908
I go, look, man, you're my man.
705
00:21:16,908 --> 00:21:19,645
I go, if we're up by a goal,
706
00:21:19,978 --> 00:21:21,146
you're on the ice.
707
00:21:21,146 --> 00:21:22,981
I know you're my protector.
708
00:21:22,981 --> 00:21:25,284
If I'm down by a goal,
709
00:21:25,284 --> 00:21:26,184
you know, I'm
710
00:21:26,184 --> 00:21:27,919
probably going to put a couple of flashy
711
00:21:27,919 --> 00:21:28,387
guys in there.
712
00:21:28,387 --> 00:21:30,222
He goes up during practice.
713
00:21:30,222 --> 00:21:31,323
I went there, Oh, I said,
714
00:21:31,323 --> 00:21:32,791
I know that's during practice.
715
00:21:32,791 --> 00:21:35,093
I said, But that's practice.
716
00:21:35,093 --> 00:21:35,427
I go,
717
00:21:35,427 --> 00:21:35,894
I know you're
718
00:21:35,894 --> 00:21:38,297
also a little nervous sometimes in oh,
719
00:21:38,664 --> 00:21:39,731
oh, man.
720
00:21:39,731 --> 00:21:41,166
Oh, oh.
721
00:21:41,166 --> 00:21:43,068
I said, Jeez, I'm sorry.
722
00:21:43,068 --> 00:21:44,469
I thought I was doing you a favor,
723
00:21:44,469 --> 00:21:45,470
not putting you out there
724
00:21:45,470 --> 00:21:48,573
for, you know, for my reasoning.
725
00:21:48,807 --> 00:21:50,642
Yeah. Maybe I'll talk to Greg.
726
00:21:50,642 --> 00:21:51,643
What's the reason?
727
00:21:51,643 --> 00:21:53,879
Oh, you know, you don't.
728
00:21:53,879 --> 00:21:55,414
You don't. You don't need to talk to him.
729
00:21:55,414 --> 00:21:57,149
I told him you and I talked.
730
00:21:57,149 --> 00:21:57,783
It's Tony.
731
00:21:57,783 --> 00:22:02,120
Don't even worry about it.
732
00:22:02,120 --> 00:22:04,456
I don't have my numbers that bad, huh?
733
00:22:05,023 --> 00:22:05,991
Well, yeah.
734
00:22:07,292 --> 00:22:10,195
You know, like I said,
735
00:22:10,195 --> 00:22:11,029
I do get emotional
736
00:22:11,029 --> 00:22:11,997
about around these times
737
00:22:11,997 --> 00:22:12,831
when I look around the room
738
00:22:12,831 --> 00:22:14,599
and I see all the people in that room.
739
00:22:14,599 --> 00:22:16,001
And one seminar I was in,
740
00:22:16,001 --> 00:22:17,569
I looked across there and the talent
741
00:22:17,569 --> 00:22:18,370
that's in that room
742
00:22:18,370 --> 00:22:20,505
and is just extraordinary.
743
00:22:20,505 --> 00:22:22,040
But then I think about guys like Jeff
744
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:23,875
Rose, my dear friend, that died,
745
00:22:23,875 --> 00:22:25,711
passed away a year ago now.
746
00:22:25,711 --> 00:22:26,678
They would have loved to been
747
00:22:26,678 --> 00:22:27,612
at these type of things.
748
00:22:27,612 --> 00:22:28,947
They're really passionate about the floor
749
00:22:28,947 --> 00:22:29,881
and everything.
750
00:22:29,881 --> 00:22:32,784
Clods with renaissance floors, inlays,
751
00:22:32,784 --> 00:22:33,618
another guy,
752
00:22:33,618 --> 00:22:34,519
if you don't know that name,
753
00:22:34,519 --> 00:22:35,187
if you don't know Jean
754
00:22:35,187 --> 00:22:37,823
Claude is a renaissance in lake floors
755
00:22:37,823 --> 00:22:39,191
I think his name is company is
756
00:22:39,191 --> 00:22:40,859
look up some of his work.
757
00:22:40,859 --> 00:22:41,593
I've said it before.
758
00:22:41,593 --> 00:22:42,427
They'll never be
759
00:22:42,427 --> 00:22:43,795
they'll never be another one of him
760
00:22:43,795 --> 00:22:45,097
in our lifetime.
761
00:22:45,097 --> 00:22:46,531
And the line will always start
762
00:22:46,531 --> 00:22:47,099
behind him.
763
00:22:47,099 --> 00:22:48,834
As far as talented hardwood floor
764
00:22:48,834 --> 00:22:51,670
guys, it was an artist was incredible.
765
00:22:51,670 --> 00:22:54,940
There's no words how good he was.
766
00:22:54,940 --> 00:22:57,609
So hold on a second.
767
00:22:57,609 --> 00:22:58,310
Did you get a chance
768
00:22:58,310 --> 00:23:01,213
to wear the belt buckle?
769
00:23:01,213 --> 00:23:04,816
No, I tell you what, I, I.
770
00:23:05,083 --> 00:23:05,984
You know what?
771
00:23:05,984 --> 00:23:07,285
This would have been a good time
772
00:23:07,285 --> 00:23:08,520
to lie to me.
773
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,455
I know, I know, I know.
774
00:23:10,455 --> 00:23:13,892
I did, Larry, and didn't know it.
775
00:23:13,892 --> 00:23:15,527
Just the tape. Warm.
776
00:23:15,527 --> 00:23:17,295
I want my money back.
777
00:23:17,295 --> 00:23:19,531
No, no, don't you think you me.
778
00:23:19,531 --> 00:23:20,565
The money back?
779
00:23:20,565 --> 00:23:22,134
No, it's a great gift.
780
00:23:22,134 --> 00:23:24,803
I do wear mine. I do. But
781
00:23:26,138 --> 00:23:28,006
I'm telling you, Robert, this is a blur.
782
00:23:28,006 --> 00:23:29,107
It was an absolute blur.
783
00:23:29,107 --> 00:23:30,509
Is you're.
784
00:23:30,509 --> 00:23:31,476
You're taking people out
785
00:23:31,476 --> 00:23:32,177
or you're going out.
786
00:23:32,177 --> 00:23:33,612
You're late at night
787
00:23:33,612 --> 00:23:34,913
and then you're up early in the morning.
788
00:23:34,913 --> 00:23:36,214
And you've been doing that.
789
00:23:36,214 --> 00:23:37,382
My your e-mails don't stop
790
00:23:37,382 --> 00:23:38,650
and your phone calls don't stop.
791
00:23:38,650 --> 00:23:40,218
And those things don't stop.
792
00:23:40,218 --> 00:23:43,088
So you're it's almost 24 hours a day
793
00:23:43,655 --> 00:23:46,625
but it's a. Of belt on.
794
00:23:46,625 --> 00:23:47,192
I did.
795
00:23:47,192 --> 00:23:48,260
But here's the thing with it, Bill.
796
00:23:48,260 --> 00:23:48,860
You okay?
797
00:23:48,860 --> 00:23:50,195
You should have sent me a belt buckle
798
00:23:50,195 --> 00:23:55,367
with a belt attached to it already.
799
00:23:55,367 --> 00:23:57,302
I took apart a perfectly good belt
800
00:23:57,302 --> 00:23:57,803
that I ruined
801
00:23:57,803 --> 00:23:58,937
because I tried to put that on there
802
00:23:58,937 --> 00:24:00,439
and it wouldn't work.
803
00:24:01,506 --> 00:24:02,174
I would have said
804
00:24:02,174 --> 00:24:04,409
I wanted to do that at the airport.
805
00:24:04,409 --> 00:24:05,677
You give your kids. Toys
806
00:24:05,677 --> 00:24:07,646
without the batteries at Christmastime?
807
00:24:07,646 --> 00:24:08,647
Never.
808
00:24:08,814 --> 00:24:09,381
Okay, well,
809
00:24:09,381 --> 00:24:10,215
then why did you send me
810
00:24:10,215 --> 00:24:12,284
a belt buckle without the belt?
811
00:24:12,284 --> 00:24:15,020
Couldn't fit it all in the same box.
812
00:24:15,020 --> 00:24:16,922
Okay, they don't make one size box.
813
00:24:17,923 --> 00:24:18,723
I'm.
814
00:24:18,723 --> 00:24:20,058
I'm not complaining.
815
00:24:20,058 --> 00:24:21,159
I'm really not. I love that.
816
00:24:21,159 --> 00:24:22,260
They can't believe you guys
817
00:24:22,260 --> 00:24:23,395
didn't wear two buckles.
818
00:24:23,395 --> 00:24:24,196
I know.
819
00:24:24,196 --> 00:24:25,430
Look, there was many things
820
00:24:25,430 --> 00:24:28,033
we were going to do we never got to do.
821
00:24:28,033 --> 00:24:29,668
That was one of them.
822
00:24:30,101 --> 00:24:31,937
Had you been on the trip,
823
00:24:31,937 --> 00:24:35,407
had you made number 43.
824
00:24:37,075 --> 00:24:40,412
So I could have went out and belt?
825
00:24:40,412 --> 00:24:42,881
Maybe if I bought everybody belts
826
00:24:43,715 --> 00:24:45,517
to go with the belt buckle.
827
00:24:45,517 --> 00:24:45,951
We would have.
828
00:24:45,951 --> 00:24:47,519
I promise you, we would have worm.
829
00:24:47,519 --> 00:24:49,321
No, maybe I would have been able to go.
830
00:24:49,321 --> 00:24:50,489
Maybe I would have bumped me up
831
00:24:50,489 --> 00:24:52,090
just a little bit.
832
00:24:52,257 --> 00:24:53,191
Yeah, I'm sure,
833
00:24:53,191 --> 00:24:54,092
I'm sure and I'm
834
00:24:54,092 --> 00:24:55,861
sure next year in New Orleans.
835
00:24:55,861 --> 00:24:57,262
And that's the thing,
836
00:24:57,262 --> 00:24:58,830
you know, next year in New Orleans.
837
00:24:58,830 --> 00:24:59,331
And just
838
00:24:59,331 --> 00:25:00,031
the way I had
839
00:25:00,031 --> 00:25:01,132
everybody I'm going
840
00:25:01,132 --> 00:25:03,201
and I'm going the week before.
841
00:25:03,201 --> 00:25:04,402
I'm taking a few days off
842
00:25:04,402 --> 00:25:05,370
vacation before
843
00:25:05,370 --> 00:25:07,906
because there's like the jazz festival.
844
00:25:07,906 --> 00:25:10,242
There's like 30 stages down there.
845
00:25:10,242 --> 00:25:12,210
And maybe you can do that, Rob.
846
00:25:12,210 --> 00:25:13,545
You can take a vacation
847
00:25:13,545 --> 00:25:14,112
the week before
848
00:25:14,112 --> 00:25:16,081
and not to attend, of course.
849
00:25:16,081 --> 00:25:18,183
But but Greg, I'll have me go down there
850
00:25:18,183 --> 00:25:19,351
and help build stages
851
00:25:19,351 --> 00:25:20,952
and then get the hell out of there
852
00:25:20,952 --> 00:25:22,320
before the show starts.
853
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:23,121
Yeah,
854
00:25:23,622 --> 00:25:24,990
but I'm going to go down there
855
00:25:24,990 --> 00:25:26,825
the week before and it's in New Orleans
856
00:25:26,825 --> 00:25:27,926
and I love New Orleans
857
00:25:27,926 --> 00:25:29,094
and you know,
858
00:25:29,094 --> 00:25:30,095
and I think everybody
859
00:25:30,095 --> 00:25:31,029
should try to get down there.
860
00:25:31,029 --> 00:25:31,563
Look,
861
00:25:31,930 --> 00:25:32,497
of course,
862
00:25:32,497 --> 00:25:33,565
it's a dangerous town
863
00:25:33,565 --> 00:25:35,534
and a few people probably killed.
864
00:25:35,534 --> 00:25:36,902
But, you know, at least it's nice.
865
00:25:36,902 --> 00:25:37,502
Chicago.
866
00:25:39,004 --> 00:25:40,805
So there's that
867
00:25:40,805 --> 00:25:42,107
that should be their tagline.
868
00:25:42,107 --> 00:25:44,242
New Orleans where is this music?
869
00:25:44,309 --> 00:25:45,877
Got New Orleans
870
00:25:45,877 --> 00:25:47,779
and then New Orleans next year.
871
00:25:47,779 --> 00:25:48,480
And that probably a year
872
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:49,848
after will be Chicago.
873
00:25:49,848 --> 00:25:51,783
Yeah, yeah.
874
00:25:51,783 --> 00:25:54,486
See how tough we are.
875
00:25:54,486 --> 00:25:56,755
You did you go to the
876
00:25:58,723 --> 00:26:00,992
did you go to the end?
877
00:26:01,092 --> 00:26:01,626
WFAA?
878
00:26:01,626 --> 00:26:03,962
When I was in Hawaii, no.
879
00:26:05,697 --> 00:26:06,331
No.
880
00:26:07,232 --> 00:26:09,067
We went to the one that was in Hawaii.
881
00:26:09,067 --> 00:26:10,302
And, you know,
882
00:26:10,302 --> 00:26:11,469
I brought Pauline,
883
00:26:11,469 --> 00:26:12,571
the kids and her mother
884
00:26:12,571 --> 00:26:13,405
in law and everything.
885
00:26:13,405 --> 00:26:15,373
She always wanted to go to Hawaii.
886
00:26:15,373 --> 00:26:18,009
But, you know, to the last
887
00:26:18,810 --> 00:26:20,078
I don't know if they do it anymore.
888
00:26:20,078 --> 00:26:21,212
It's been so long
889
00:26:21,212 --> 00:26:24,583
since I've been to an end, WFAA.
890
00:26:24,583 --> 00:26:26,351
But The Last Supper,
891
00:26:26,351 --> 00:26:27,752
they would always have the city
892
00:26:27,752 --> 00:26:28,987
who was going to host it next
893
00:26:28,987 --> 00:26:32,123
year, come in and do a little,
894
00:26:32,123 --> 00:26:32,357
you know,
895
00:26:32,357 --> 00:26:33,224
do a little dog
896
00:26:33,224 --> 00:26:34,759
and pony show about how great
897
00:26:34,759 --> 00:26:36,528
their city is. Right.
898
00:26:38,163 --> 00:26:39,631
And I remember
899
00:26:40,131 --> 00:26:41,433
we're in Hawaii
900
00:26:41,433 --> 00:26:44,135
and I think it was Saint Louis
901
00:26:44,135 --> 00:26:45,837
that had to come in. We're in Hawaii.
902
00:26:45,837 --> 00:26:47,572
Oh, wow. Wow, wow.
903
00:26:47,572 --> 00:26:48,807
That's a tough act to follow.
904
00:26:48,807 --> 00:26:49,507
Yeah, yeah.
905
00:26:49,507 --> 00:26:52,444
You're in Hawaii and like, yeah, yeah.
906
00:26:52,811 --> 00:26:55,513
Wait till next year
907
00:26:55,513 --> 00:26:57,549
when you're in Saint Louis.
908
00:26:57,549 --> 00:26:58,383
Yeah,
909
00:26:59,551 --> 00:27:01,886
he gave pretty good
910
00:27:01,886 --> 00:27:03,288
big the when he called.
911
00:27:03,288 --> 00:27:05,757
And I remember us all sitting there like,
912
00:27:05,757 --> 00:27:08,760
oh man, I'm feeling with this team
913
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:09,628
up here
914
00:27:09,694 --> 00:27:10,328
trying to,
915
00:27:10,328 --> 00:27:10,695
you know,
916
00:27:10,695 --> 00:27:11,997
they were talking about,
917
00:27:11,997 --> 00:27:12,464
you know,
918
00:27:12,464 --> 00:27:15,567
Anheuser-Busch and ribs and everything.
919
00:27:15,567 --> 00:27:17,035
And I'm like, Yeah, well,
920
00:27:17,035 --> 00:27:19,371
here we are, Hawaii right here.
921
00:27:19,437 --> 00:27:20,572
And I think the
922
00:27:21,473 --> 00:27:23,642
I think it's like an open pavilion
923
00:27:23,642 --> 00:27:25,677
and just this beautiful, gentle
924
00:27:25,677 --> 00:27:27,812
Hawaiian breezes blowing through.
925
00:27:27,812 --> 00:27:29,414
And the ocean was.
926
00:27:29,414 --> 00:27:31,249
Going to go nights, women
927
00:27:31,249 --> 00:27:32,283
at night and everything.
928
00:27:32,283 --> 00:27:32,917
And I'm like,
929
00:27:32,917 --> 00:27:33,918
this has got to be
930
00:27:33,918 --> 00:27:36,021
the toughest job in the world.
931
00:27:36,021 --> 00:27:36,588
You imagine
932
00:27:36,588 --> 00:27:38,289
those people from Saint Louis.
933
00:27:38,289 --> 00:27:38,757
Yeah.
934
00:27:38,757 --> 00:27:39,190
Or whoever
935
00:27:39,190 --> 00:27:40,158
the Chamber of Commerce
936
00:27:40,158 --> 00:27:42,360
got the cameras, got Deandra work.
937
00:27:42,360 --> 00:27:43,261
Where are we going?
938
00:27:43,261 --> 00:27:44,729
Well, we got to go to Hawaii
939
00:27:44,729 --> 00:27:45,764
and convince everybody
940
00:27:45,764 --> 00:27:50,435
that next year will be bigger and better.
941
00:27:50,435 --> 00:27:50,869
Well,
942
00:27:50,869 --> 00:27:53,071
the next year we'll be in New Orleans.
943
00:27:53,071 --> 00:27:54,572
And, you know, like I said, hey,
944
00:27:54,572 --> 00:27:56,675
they can't kill us all. So
945
00:27:58,143 --> 00:27:59,544
it's going to be a great time.
946
00:27:59,544 --> 00:28:01,112
I love New Orleans.
947
00:28:01,112 --> 00:28:01,980
It's a great town.
948
00:28:01,980 --> 00:28:02,914
I know some
949
00:28:02,914 --> 00:28:03,682
some friends of mine
950
00:28:03,682 --> 00:28:04,516
are down in that area.
951
00:28:04,516 --> 00:28:05,650
And so I'm want to go down there
952
00:28:05,650 --> 00:28:06,651
ahead of time and
953
00:28:06,651 --> 00:28:08,853
and which I've never done before
954
00:28:08,853 --> 00:28:09,988
and take some time.
955
00:28:09,988 --> 00:28:10,488
But.
956
00:28:11,823 --> 00:28:12,924
So what did you think of the floor,
957
00:28:12,924 --> 00:28:13,692
the years?
958
00:28:13,692 --> 00:28:15,427
You must have seen it.
959
00:28:16,194 --> 00:28:18,063
There were the four years are incredible
960
00:28:18,063 --> 00:28:20,732
that Tom Aurora, I can't remember
961
00:28:21,399 --> 00:28:22,267
what is his last name?
962
00:28:22,267 --> 00:28:23,034
I don't know how to pronounce
963
00:28:23,034 --> 00:28:23,835
his last name.
964
00:28:23,835 --> 00:28:24,602
He went for the year
965
00:28:24,602 --> 00:28:24,903
or the year
966
00:28:24,903 --> 00:28:25,904
prior to that, too,
967
00:28:25,904 --> 00:28:27,205
and he did the one today,
968
00:28:27,205 --> 00:28:29,541
this one with the Austrian Eagle
969
00:28:29,541 --> 00:28:31,910
in the floor. He won.
970
00:28:31,910 --> 00:28:33,845
And there was I mean,
971
00:28:33,845 --> 00:28:35,413
they're incredible what I like
972
00:28:35,413 --> 00:28:36,514
about the floor of the year winners
973
00:28:36,514 --> 00:28:37,315
this year.
974
00:28:37,315 --> 00:28:38,283
There's a lot of super
975
00:28:38,283 --> 00:28:40,518
young guys that have won that
976
00:28:41,519 --> 00:28:42,420
they probably don't know a
977
00:28:42,420 --> 00:28:43,888
lot of the older guys, that one.
978
00:28:43,888 --> 00:28:45,123
You know what I mean?
979
00:28:45,757 --> 00:28:46,758
And I like that.
980
00:28:46,758 --> 00:28:47,092
I like
981
00:28:47,092 --> 00:28:49,160
I like that when new guys come along
982
00:28:49,494 --> 00:28:51,362
that don't know the history.
983
00:28:51,362 --> 00:28:52,197
I mean, I like it
984
00:28:52,197 --> 00:28:54,099
when you respect the history of it.
985
00:28:54,099 --> 00:28:55,333
But when a guy comes in
986
00:28:55,333 --> 00:28:56,101
that's kind of brash
987
00:28:56,101 --> 00:28:57,302
and doesn't know
988
00:28:57,302 --> 00:28:58,236
some of the history,
989
00:28:58,236 --> 00:29:00,171
I think that's cool too, man.
990
00:29:00,171 --> 00:29:02,040
Make way, you know what I mean?
991
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:03,942
And there was a
992
00:29:03,942 --> 00:29:06,177
there were some phenomenal flowers
993
00:29:06,177 --> 00:29:08,446
this year, man. Some beautiful work.
994
00:29:08,446 --> 00:29:09,347
And
995
00:29:10,348 --> 00:29:11,883
so I was always excited to see that
996
00:29:11,883 --> 00:29:12,851
the emerging leaders,
997
00:29:12,851 --> 00:29:13,952
the guys that are coming on in
998
00:29:13,952 --> 00:29:15,320
the industry is is good to see.
999
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,423
Those guys and I had a chance to sit
1000
00:29:18,423 --> 00:29:21,559
down with Adam Busy and I was
1001
00:29:22,794 --> 00:29:23,328
floored by the
1002
00:29:23,328 --> 00:29:24,362
show and
1003
00:29:24,362 --> 00:29:25,764
I talked into him
1004
00:29:25,764 --> 00:29:27,365
into doing the podcast with Rob.
1005
00:29:27,365 --> 00:29:28,433
He wrote a great article.
1006
00:29:28,433 --> 00:29:29,868
If anybody hasn't seen it
1007
00:29:29,868 --> 00:29:31,236
and the
1008
00:29:31,269 --> 00:29:32,771
Was in the World for Business Magazine
1009
00:29:32,771 --> 00:29:34,139
and some other places.
1010
00:29:34,139 --> 00:29:36,574
I saw it on Facebook in different areas
1011
00:29:36,574 --> 00:29:38,910
about moisture and in hardwood floors.
1012
00:29:38,910 --> 00:29:40,178
It was one of the most in-depth,
1013
00:29:40,178 --> 00:29:42,313
best articles I've ever seen.
1014
00:29:42,313 --> 00:29:44,949
So I got a chance to go to the Wood
1015
00:29:44,949 --> 00:29:47,819
for Business magazine, the after
1016
00:29:47,819 --> 00:29:49,554
and which was they did a great job
1017
00:29:49,554 --> 00:29:50,488
and they do a good job.
1018
00:29:50,488 --> 00:29:52,757
So hats off to them as well.
1019
00:29:52,757 --> 00:29:53,792
I always like reading the
1020
00:29:53,792 --> 00:29:55,894
the magazine every, every, every month.
1021
00:29:56,394 --> 00:29:57,562
So yeah man
1022
00:29:57,562 --> 00:29:59,197
wood floor business was there.
1023
00:29:59,197 --> 00:29:59,864
Yep.
1024
00:30:00,999 --> 00:30:02,300
That's pretty cool.
1025
00:30:02,300 --> 00:30:03,468
Yeah, it is.
1026
00:30:03,468 --> 00:30:05,103
And you know what I mean?
1027
00:30:05,103 --> 00:30:06,571
Like Coke and Pepsi.
1028
00:30:06,571 --> 00:30:07,205
Yeah, it's,
1029
00:30:07,205 --> 00:30:07,672
you know,
1030
00:30:07,672 --> 00:30:09,040
listen, every everybody
1031
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:09,274
that's in
1032
00:30:09,274 --> 00:30:10,308
this business has a stake
1033
00:30:10,308 --> 00:30:11,442
in this business.
1034
00:30:11,442 --> 00:30:13,411
And and it was good to see them as well.
1035
00:30:13,411 --> 00:30:14,913
They do a great job.
1036
00:30:14,913 --> 00:30:18,016
So any any listeners show up.
1037
00:30:19,083 --> 00:30:21,452
My Rob
1038
00:30:21,452 --> 00:30:24,122
I'm telling you I probably 50 times
1039
00:30:24,122 --> 00:30:24,722
people stopped
1040
00:30:24,722 --> 00:30:26,958
and talk to me about the podcast and
1041
00:30:29,194 --> 00:30:30,495
I told you that
1042
00:30:30,495 --> 00:30:33,498
or I usually tell them that you're,
1043
00:30:33,498 --> 00:30:34,432
you know, in your free time
1044
00:30:34,432 --> 00:30:38,203
you rather do something else.
1045
00:30:38,203 --> 00:30:39,904
You know, Rob's very standoffish.
1046
00:30:39,904 --> 00:30:40,471
And you know what?
1047
00:30:40,471 --> 00:30:42,841
He's not really getting paid to do it.
1048
00:30:42,841 --> 00:30:45,376
You know, you're probably not going to
1049
00:30:45,476 --> 00:30:45,844
know.
1050
00:30:45,844 --> 00:30:47,812
A lot of people ask about you, Rob, and
1051
00:30:47,812 --> 00:30:49,981
and I wish you were there the whole time.
1052
00:30:49,981 --> 00:30:51,482
You know, I totally I get sentimental.
1053
00:30:51,482 --> 00:30:52,217
Look at that
1054
00:30:52,217 --> 00:30:54,752
sea of bone of people that were there.
1055
00:30:54,752 --> 00:30:56,721
And you say he just
1056
00:30:56,721 --> 00:30:59,123
he just didn't make the cut at first.
1057
00:30:59,123 --> 00:31:00,458
I was going, oh, you just missed him.
1058
00:31:00,458 --> 00:31:01,559
You just missed him to make it
1059
00:31:01,559 --> 00:31:02,193
sound elusive,
1060
00:31:02,193 --> 00:31:03,228
like you were here somewhere.
1061
00:31:03,228 --> 00:31:04,062
But, you know, he's
1062
00:31:04,062 --> 00:31:05,864
so busy with other people,
1063
00:31:05,864 --> 00:31:08,366
but yeah, no, I, you know,
1064
00:31:08,366 --> 00:31:09,033
I thought they were going to say
1065
00:31:09,033 --> 00:31:09,601
new this year.
1066
00:31:09,601 --> 00:31:11,769
Again, I wish that you had,
1067
00:31:12,070 --> 00:31:13,438
you know, if it wasn't for the h.r.
1068
00:31:13,438 --> 00:31:15,540
Thing that you had earlier in the year,
1069
00:31:15,540 --> 00:31:17,108
we're not quite sure how you're going to
1070
00:31:18,076 --> 00:31:19,344
how you're going to be in public.
1071
00:31:19,344 --> 00:31:21,813
You know, we can't take it for sure.
1072
00:31:21,813 --> 00:31:23,448
You're for that. Bill.
1073
00:31:23,648 --> 00:31:26,117
I tried to do a quiet bell.
1074
00:31:26,117 --> 00:31:28,052
Yeah. Yeah, that was. Good.
1075
00:31:28,052 --> 00:31:29,587
The bell on the other side.
1076
00:31:29,587 --> 00:31:32,090
So it didn't hurt our listeners ears.
1077
00:31:32,190 --> 00:31:33,391
Okay. Yes, that's nice.
1078
00:31:33,391 --> 00:31:34,325
You didn't go out?
1079
00:31:34,325 --> 00:31:35,727
Yeah, because I used to put the bell
1080
00:31:35,727 --> 00:31:37,862
right near the microphone. Yeah.
1081
00:31:38,329 --> 00:31:39,597
And I thought, okay, maybe
1082
00:31:39,597 --> 00:31:40,832
that was too much.
1083
00:31:40,832 --> 00:31:43,368
Yeah, no, I got it.
1084
00:31:43,368 --> 00:31:46,004
So again, for Floor guys,
1085
00:31:46,905 --> 00:31:48,773
this I'm telling you,
1086
00:31:48,773 --> 00:31:50,041
it takes you several days
1087
00:31:50,041 --> 00:31:52,210
to come down from from the of
1088
00:31:52,210 --> 00:31:52,610
because it's
1089
00:31:52,610 --> 00:31:53,745
not you're on such a high
1090
00:31:53,745 --> 00:31:54,746
because it's so good
1091
00:31:54,746 --> 00:31:56,881
and so good for your soul.
1092
00:31:56,948 --> 00:31:58,750
And I'm not I'm not hands on every
1093
00:31:58,750 --> 00:31:59,884
you know, I don't do floors anymore.
1094
00:31:59,884 --> 00:32:00,551
Right.
1095
00:32:00,551 --> 00:32:01,586
So for the guys that are
1096
00:32:01,586 --> 00:32:02,120
that are
1097
00:32:02,487 --> 00:32:03,788
grinding who every day
1098
00:32:03,788 --> 00:32:05,256
running machines every day
1099
00:32:05,256 --> 00:32:06,691
humping the wood, every day
1100
00:32:06,691 --> 00:32:07,725
getting picking splinters
1101
00:32:07,725 --> 00:32:08,760
out of their hands, or
1102
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:09,360
you know what I mean?
1103
00:32:10,795 --> 00:32:12,964
Those guys need to be there, man.
1104
00:32:12,964 --> 00:32:13,865
Is this is your tribe.
1105
00:32:13,865 --> 00:32:15,166
These are your guys.
1106
00:32:15,166 --> 00:32:17,235
So and you'll

00:32:18,236 --> 00:32:19,270
with such a great feeling
1109
00:32:19,270 --> 00:32:20,538
and you learn so much.
1110
00:32:20,538 --> 00:32:21,973
There's some great, great classes.
1111
00:32:21,973 --> 00:32:24,442
There are seminars.
1112
00:32:24,442 --> 00:32:25,410
So it just
1113
00:32:25,410 --> 00:32:27,378
it just it's whatever you want to do.
1114
00:32:27,378 --> 00:32:29,781
How everyone to spend your time.

We've introduced new products.
1116
00:32:31,316 --> 00:32:32,917
I have to tell you
1117
00:32:33,051 --> 00:32:35,253
that we introduced flow at the

1119
00:32:37,322 --> 00:32:39,090
How'd that go over that?
1120
00:32:39,090 --> 00:32:40,258
Phenomenal.
1121
00:32:40,291 --> 00:32:40,692
Yeah,

00:32:40,692 --> 00:32:42,961

1123
00:32:42,961 --> 00:32:44,529

1124
00:32:44,529 --> 00:32:46,831
and it was standing room only
1125
00:32:47,632 --> 00:32:48,800

1126
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:49,767
So we had a lot of

00:32:52,370 --> 00:32:53,137

00:33:05,783 --> 00:33:09,721
So yeah, it was the bone after party.
1138
00:33:09,887 --> 00:33:11,990
We had a with a customer reception,
1139
00:33:12,623 --> 00:33:14,759

1140
00:33:15,293 --> 00:33:16,861
And for that we're,

1147
00:33:25,670 --> 00:33:26,337
So

00:34:18,189 --> 00:34:18,990

00:34:18,990 --> 00:34:21,893

1177
00:34:22,593 --> 00:34:23,561
You know.

00:34:24,562 --> 00:34:26,130
Get a chance, go to school
1179
00:34:26,130 --> 00:34:26,931

00:34:26,931 --> 00:34:28,533
So, yeah.
1181
00:34:28,533 --> 00:34:31,235
I enjoy you see me just flash my phone.
1182
00:34:31,803 --> 00:34:33,771
No, because I was reading mine.
1183
00:34:33,771 --> 00:34:37,708
Yeah, I just got two calls from Sweden.
1184
00:34:37,875 --> 00:34:41,145
I flashed up the phone is from Melmotte.
1185
00:34:41,145 --> 00:34:42,146
Sweden.
1186
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,082
I wouldn't answer it.
1187
00:34:44,082 --> 00:34:45,850
I hear. Yeah, all right.
1188
00:34:45,850 --> 00:34:47,351
I'm just saying,
1189
00:34:47,351 --> 00:34:48,753
maybe it'll blow over there.
1190
00:34:48,753 --> 00:34:50,822
Something that's never happened before.
1191
00:34:50,822 --> 00:34:52,323
It takes a long time for something
1192
00:34:52,323 --> 00:34:55,293
from here in America to work his way to
1193
00:34:56,928 --> 00:34:57,562
just tell them,
1194
00:34:57,562 --> 00:34:58,863
I need you for the podcast.
1195
00:34:58,863 --> 00:35:01,532
Okay? I'll tell you.
1196
00:35:01,532 --> 00:35:03,701
I'll put a word in for you. All right.
1197
00:35:03,768 --> 00:35:05,436
I thought everything was going good.
1198
00:35:05,436 --> 00:35:07,605
I thought I was off the hook.
1199
00:35:07,605 --> 00:35:09,140
If you get a knock on the door today
1200
00:35:09,140 --> 00:35:11,142
and just keep. My nose clean.
1201
00:35:11,142 --> 00:35:11,943
Yeah.
1202
00:35:12,176 --> 00:35:12,910
When you get to school.

00:35:12,910 --> 00:35:15,079
You said later this week. You.
1204
00:35:15,079 --> 00:35:16,848
Don't bring your computer. I'm not.
1205
00:35:19,750 --> 00:35:19,951
You.
1206
00:35:19,951 --> 00:35:21,452
Somebody else's.
1207
00:35:21,953 --> 00:35:22,987
If they get the computers,
1208
00:35:22,987 --> 00:35:24,155
take it like a man.
1209
00:35:24,155 --> 00:35:25,089
Won't be the first.
1210
00:35:25,089 --> 00:35:26,424
Won't be the last.
1211
00:35:26,424 --> 00:35:27,325
All right,
1212
00:35:27,692 --> 00:35:29,727
now, most Weeden is calling me.
1213
00:35:29,727 --> 00:35:31,262
Well, well, well.
1214
00:35:31,262 --> 00:35:33,431
And you put him on hold for this day.
1215
00:35:33,998 --> 00:35:40,805
You deserve whatever's coming to you.
1216
00:35:40,805 --> 00:35:43,040
I mean, do they listen as we're taping?
1217
00:35:43,141 --> 00:35:47,645
Did I say something?
1218
00:35:47,645 --> 00:35:48,946
Okay. All right.
1219
00:35:48,946 --> 00:35:49,847
You got that on tape.
1220
00:35:49,847 --> 00:35:51,048
Eileen said I'm good.
1221
00:35:51,048 --> 00:35:52,717
I'll sugarcoat it. Eileen?
1222
00:35:52,717 --> 00:35:55,419
Yeah. Okay.
1223
00:35:55,419 --> 00:35:56,220
Well, that's all I got.

Glad you got to mow the lawn

00:36:23,915 --> 00:36:24,782
throughout the year.
1239
00:36:24,782 --> 00:36:26,250
Anywhere get new ones.
1240
00:36:26,250 --> 00:36:27,485
And what else did you do?
1241
00:36:27,485 --> 00:36:28,986
You changed some light bulbs.
1242
00:36:28,986 --> 00:36:30,988
I help Pauline. Pauline.
1243
00:36:30,988 --> 00:36:31,989
So that's important too.
1244
00:36:31,989 --> 00:36:33,758
I'm don't discount that
1245
00:36:33,758 --> 00:36:34,625
those little domestic
1246
00:36:34,625 --> 00:36:38,696
things like that are important.
1247
00:36:38,696 --> 00:36:39,530
I can't remember.
1248
00:36:39,530 --> 00:36:41,832
I got to ask you one question.
1249
00:36:41,832 --> 00:36:42,934
I do need to ask you why
1250
00:36:42,934 --> 00:36:45,269
I of course, I was getting all sorts of,
1251
00:36:46,437 --> 00:36:47,672
you know, people
1252
00:36:47,672 --> 00:36:50,141
texting me, Instagramming me, you know,
1253
00:36:50,141 --> 00:36:51,409
where are you coming out here.
1254
00:36:51,409 --> 00:36:54,545
So I saw tons of videos of
1255
00:36:55,613 --> 00:36:58,382
Mark Raymond up there doing all sorts of.
1256
00:36:58,783 --> 00:36:59,450
Yeah.
1257
00:36:59,817 --> 00:37:01,652
You like using him as your front man?
1258
00:37:01,652 --> 00:37:02,887
Because I saw you
1259
00:37:02,887 --> 00:37:06,123
always standing off to the side.
1260
00:37:06,123 --> 00:37:08,859
And Mark was up there representing.
1261
00:37:09,827 --> 00:37:11,362
So you know how hard it is for me to do.
1262
00:37:11,362 --> 00:37:11,963
Right.
1263
00:37:12,363 --> 00:37:13,664
So I got.
1264
00:37:13,664 --> 00:37:16,334
To ask you why, though, and I get it.
1265
00:37:16,334 --> 00:37:18,336
Mark's Mark's a good looking guy.
1266
00:37:18,336 --> 00:37:19,604
He's a good looking man.
1267
00:37:19,604 --> 00:37:20,938
Yeah, yeah, right.
1268
00:37:20,938 --> 00:37:21,505
Yeah.
1269
00:37:21,505 --> 00:37:23,774
Definite good and well-spoken.
1270
00:37:23,774 --> 00:37:25,977
And the guy looks like a game show host
1271
00:37:25,977 --> 00:37:29,981
or a California Highway Patrol officer.
1272
00:37:30,681 --> 00:37:32,049
And so I thought,
1273
00:37:32,049 --> 00:37:35,820
you know, I'll use him for the for the
1274
00:37:35,820 --> 00:37:36,387
listen.
1275
00:37:36,387 --> 00:37:38,823
I raised people up, like I said, what
1276
00:37:40,658 --> 00:37:42,526
I wanted him to do the presentation
1277
00:37:42,526 --> 00:37:43,294
or somebody else
1278
00:37:43,294 --> 00:37:44,262
or some of the younger guys.
1279
00:37:44,262 --> 00:37:45,129
I'm trying to step away
1280
00:37:45,129 --> 00:37:46,230
from doing the presentations
1281
00:37:46,230 --> 00:37:47,198
all the time.
1282
00:37:47,198 --> 00:37:49,133
I would rather have my guys do it.
1283
00:37:49,133 --> 00:37:50,201
But on the other hand, I'm
1284
00:37:50,201 --> 00:37:51,702
freaking passionate about it, man.
1285
00:37:51,702 --> 00:37:52,870
I can't help myself,
1286
00:37:52,870 --> 00:37:55,306
so I let him start the presentation
1287
00:37:55,606 --> 00:37:56,841
as soon as he said,
1288
00:37:56,841 --> 00:37:57,942
Wayne, do you have anything to add?
1289
00:37:57,942 --> 00:37:59,176
I went, That was mostly.
1290
00:38:00,811 --> 00:38:02,713
Thank you very much.
1291
00:38:02,713 --> 00:38:04,382
Hey, step out of the way.
1292
00:38:04,382 --> 00:38:05,516
That's it.
1293
00:38:05,516 --> 00:38:07,218
Don't go too far, though.
1294
00:38:07,218 --> 00:38:09,720
Yeah, stay with me. Yeah. Yeah.
1295
00:38:09,720 --> 00:38:11,389
So anyhow,
1296
00:38:11,389 --> 00:38:13,991
so yeah, that's a reason for that.
1297
00:38:13,991 --> 00:38:15,393
All right, Rob, listen,
1298
00:38:15,393 --> 00:38:17,261
I appreciate it again.
1299
00:38:17,261 --> 00:38:17,928
Again.
1300
00:38:17,928 --> 00:38:18,863
Hey, listen,

00:38:18,863 --> 00:38:20,364
this gives you something to work towards
1302
00:38:20,364 --> 00:38:20,865
next year.
1303
00:38:20,865 --> 00:38:21,699
This gives you a goal
1304
00:38:21,699 --> 00:38:23,234
that I'm a big believer in goals.
1305
00:38:23,234 --> 00:38:24,802
You know that, right? Right.
1306
00:38:24,802 --> 00:38:26,871
You just set a goal of getting better.
1307
00:38:26,871 --> 00:38:28,506
So you can also go the way of,
1308
00:38:28,506 --> 00:38:31,075

00:38:32,276 --> 00:38:33,511
I might be there next year.
1311
00:38:33,511 --> 00:38:35,646
