00:00:11,411 --> 00:00:11,745
Hello.
2
00:00:11,745 --> 00:00:12,512
Welcome to another
3
00:00:12,512 --> 00:00:13,413
episode of On the Floor
4
00:00:13,413 --> 00:00:14,280
with Wayne and Rob.
5
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:15,181
I'm Wayne Highlander.
6
00:00:15,181 --> 00:00:16,082
National Sales manager
7
00:00:16,082 --> 00:00:17,183
for Bona Adhesives.
8
00:00:17,183 --> 00:00:20,387
And I'm Rob Johnson from Bona Training.
9
00:00:20,954 --> 00:00:22,288
How are we doing, Rob?
10
00:00:22,288 --> 00:00:22,922
Pretty good.
11
00:00:22,922 --> 00:00:23,490
How's it going?
12
00:00:23,490 --> 00:00:25,625
I got your power shirt on today. Read it.
13
00:00:25,658 --> 00:00:27,193
Oh, yes.
14
00:00:27,193 --> 00:00:28,294
It's a powercolor.
15
00:00:28,294 --> 00:00:30,330
Tiger Woods Sun golf shirt.
16
00:00:30,330 --> 00:00:31,131
Absolutely.
17
00:00:31,164 --> 00:00:32,999
What do you think of the new hat?
18
00:00:32,999 --> 00:00:33,566
What is it?
19
00:00:33,633 --> 00:00:35,368
It's very nice, actually. Very nice.
20
00:00:35,368 --> 00:00:35,668
Yeah.
21
00:00:35,668 --> 00:00:38,204
Boehner has finally made a hat that fits
22
00:00:38,204 --> 00:00:40,907
my head. Wow.
23
00:00:40,907 --> 00:00:42,542
How's that? I got.
24
00:00:42,542 --> 00:00:43,676
I got two of them.
25
00:00:43,676 --> 00:00:44,444
And they said it.
26
00:00:44,444 --> 00:00:46,646
You done. It? Exactly.
27
00:00:46,646 --> 00:00:47,647
Mm hmm.
28
00:00:47,781 --> 00:00:53,386
Rob, the world's
29
00:00:53,386 --> 00:00:56,356
happiest man is a Tibetan monk
30
00:00:57,390 --> 00:00:59,059
named Matthieu Ricard.
31
00:00:59,059 --> 00:01:01,428
He's a 66 year old Tibetan monk.
32
00:01:01,895 --> 00:01:02,996
And the way that they know he's
33
00:01:02,996 --> 00:01:04,064
the happiest man in the world
34
00:01:04,064 --> 00:01:05,532
is that they studied
35
00:01:05,532 --> 00:01:07,500
like they had neurosurgeons do,
36
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:08,668
studying a brainwaves
37
00:01:08,668 --> 00:01:10,203
and stuff like this.
38
00:01:10,203 --> 00:01:11,371
And then they got to this guy,
39
00:01:11,371 --> 00:01:13,573
and it was absolutely, positively off
40
00:01:13,573 --> 00:01:15,141
the charts, his brainwaves.
41
00:01:15,141 --> 00:01:16,943
And they almost said it wasn't real.
42
00:01:16,943 --> 00:01:18,845
They had they retested him
43
00:01:18,845 --> 00:01:20,847
and they afterwards in
44
00:01:21,915 --> 00:01:22,682
the testing and
45
00:01:22,682 --> 00:01:23,616
they realized this guy
46
00:01:23,616 --> 00:01:26,820
must be the happiest man in the world,
47
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,955
but not anymore.
48
00:01:29,022 --> 00:01:31,591
Now, since Boehner came out with the
49
00:01:31,591 --> 00:01:33,560
the diamond spinning plates,
50
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,096
I'll tell you what, Rob,
51
00:01:36,096 --> 00:01:37,964
anybody who's ever sanded
52
00:01:37,964 --> 00:01:38,865
an aluminum oxide
53
00:01:38,865 --> 00:01:41,734
floor is going to be blown away.
54
00:01:42,769 --> 00:01:43,470
Wait a minute.
55
00:01:43,470 --> 00:01:44,804
We get back.
56
00:01:44,804 --> 00:01:46,973
What was this monk's name?
57
00:01:47,140 --> 00:01:49,075
Matthieu Ricard, a 66 year
58
00:01:49,075 --> 00:01:50,410
old Tibetan monk.
59
00:01:50,410 --> 00:01:52,412
And he's from Tibet.
60
00:01:52,412 --> 00:01:53,947
Well, he's a Tibetan monk,
61
00:01:53,947 --> 00:01:55,715
so I'm going to guess that he.
62
00:01:55,715 --> 00:01:57,383
Yes. Can.
63
00:01:57,383 --> 00:01:58,651
Monks can't fool around, right?
64
00:01:58,651 --> 00:02:00,353
They can't have a girlfriend. No.
65
00:02:00,353 --> 00:02:01,254
But what they do
66
00:02:01,254 --> 00:02:04,257
is they do a lot of meditation and.
67
00:02:04,457 --> 00:02:05,391
Oh, is that.
68
00:02:05,391 --> 00:02:06,326
Is that what they call it?
69
00:02:06,326 --> 00:02:07,327
That's the code. It's.
70
00:02:07,327 --> 00:02:08,461
It's meditation.
71
00:02:08,461 --> 00:02:10,263
Meditation, Rob. Okay.
72
00:02:10,263 --> 00:02:12,699
And they think that leads to a lot of his
73
00:02:13,366 --> 00:02:15,135
a lot of his happiness.
74
00:02:15,135 --> 00:02:18,471
And he reaches places in his in his mind
75
00:02:18,471 --> 00:02:19,572
that a lot of people don't get to.
76
00:02:19,572 --> 00:02:20,840
And I'll tell you something else, Rob.
77
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,609
I was thinking about this
78
00:02:22,609 --> 00:02:24,077
actually this morning, early
79
00:02:24,077 --> 00:02:25,111
this morning,
80
00:02:25,111 --> 00:02:26,179
I was sitting down in the
81
00:02:26,179 --> 00:02:27,814
and just for
82
00:02:27,814 --> 00:02:28,348
my backyard
83
00:02:28,348 --> 00:02:30,216
and the sun was starting to come up.
84
00:02:30,216 --> 00:02:31,284
And for just a brief
85
00:02:31,284 --> 00:02:32,418
moment, I was content
86
00:02:33,419 --> 00:02:35,355
and I thought, what a great feeling.
87
00:02:35,355 --> 00:02:38,791
And had the that that I think
88
00:02:40,026 --> 00:02:40,927
I
89
00:02:41,694 --> 00:02:42,962
am always
90
00:02:42,962 --> 00:02:43,396
truth me
91
00:02:43,396 --> 00:02:43,897
out of the people
92
00:02:43,897 --> 00:02:44,697
that are absolutely
93
00:02:44,697 --> 00:02:46,699
positively content in life.
94
00:02:46,699 --> 00:02:46,933
You know,
95
00:02:46,933 --> 00:02:47,600
I mean like people
96
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,335
just very, very happy
97
00:02:49,335 --> 00:02:51,104
with everything in their station in life
98
00:02:51,104 --> 00:02:53,806
and just very happy and content.
99
00:02:53,806 --> 00:02:55,141
It must be an incredible feeling.
100
00:02:55,141 --> 00:02:55,942
What do you have
101
00:02:55,942 --> 00:02:57,510
not to be content about
102
00:02:57,510 --> 00:02:59,612
your life is a storybook.
103
00:03:00,613 --> 00:03:03,750
Well, you know, I grew up poor.
104
00:03:06,119 --> 00:03:08,421
I'm not saying well, I'm not content.
105
00:03:08,421 --> 00:03:10,290
I don't think I can allow myself
106
00:03:10,290 --> 00:03:11,491
to be content.
107
00:03:11,491 --> 00:03:14,294
I think while I'm working, I'm
108
00:03:14,294 --> 00:03:15,361
always, always,
109
00:03:15,361 --> 00:03:17,530
always trying to get better.
110
00:03:17,530 --> 00:03:19,232
And there's no place in there
111
00:03:19,232 --> 00:03:21,601
for contentment, I don't think.
112
00:03:21,601 --> 00:03:22,202
Robbie, who's
113
00:03:22,202 --> 00:03:24,370
the most content guy, you know?
114
00:03:24,370 --> 00:03:25,104
You.
115
00:03:25,138 --> 00:03:27,740
Thank you.
116
00:03:28,408 --> 00:03:29,342
That's a problem.
117
00:03:29,342 --> 00:03:30,610
We spent a lot of time together,
118
00:03:30,610 --> 00:03:31,477
and I've never met
119
00:03:31,477 --> 00:03:32,579
someone who just doesn't
120
00:03:32,579 --> 00:03:35,582
really get rattled by anything.
121
00:03:36,449 --> 00:03:39,686
Just shrugs it off, whatever it is,
122
00:03:39,686 --> 00:03:40,620
what it is.
123
00:03:40,620 --> 00:03:41,087
Rob.
124
00:03:41,087 --> 00:03:43,623
Rob is the living, breathing motto of.
125
00:03:44,057 --> 00:03:44,891
It is what it is.
126
00:03:45,858 --> 00:03:47,393
They should put that on his tombstone.
127
00:03:47,393 --> 00:03:48,595
For real.
128
00:03:48,661 --> 00:03:50,797
It is Rob Johnson. Here lies Rob Johnson.
129
00:03:50,797 --> 00:03:51,831
It is what it is.
130
00:03:51,831 --> 00:03:52,632
It is.
131
00:03:52,632 --> 00:03:54,133
It was what it was.
132
00:03:54,133 --> 00:03:55,969
Yeah. There you go.
133
00:03:55,969 --> 00:03:56,936
You can't beat a man
134
00:03:56,936 --> 00:03:57,937
with that kind of attitude.
135
00:03:57,937 --> 00:03:59,138
You know that, right?
136
00:03:59,138 --> 00:04:01,741
You can't beat a man like that.
137
00:04:01,741 --> 00:04:02,442
A quarterback
138
00:04:02,442 --> 00:04:03,376
just got through
139
00:04:03,376 --> 00:04:05,778
three interceptions yesterday and
140
00:04:06,813 --> 00:04:08,581
just got completely rattled.
141
00:04:08,581 --> 00:04:11,117
And the other team used to play with him.
142
00:04:11,117 --> 00:04:12,552
He's be on the same team.
143
00:04:12,552 --> 00:04:13,419
And they said, you know,
144
00:04:13,419 --> 00:04:14,420
like what happened is said,
145
00:04:14,420 --> 00:04:15,722
we played with this guy before.
146
00:04:15,722 --> 00:04:16,556
We know what happens
147
00:04:16,556 --> 00:04:18,591
when when he gets a little pressure
148
00:04:19,392 --> 00:04:19,792
that well.
149
00:04:19,792 --> 00:04:22,929
Oh, that's saying something.
150
00:04:23,162 --> 00:04:23,496
All right.
151
00:04:23,496 --> 00:04:24,464
Who is this guy, Rob?
152
00:04:24,464 --> 00:04:25,698
Who is this Rob you speak of?
153
00:04:25,698 --> 00:04:27,700
Oh, come on. This is the man.
154
00:04:27,734 --> 00:04:29,068
This is
155
00:04:29,269 --> 00:04:30,570
is one of the greatest guys
156
00:04:30,570 --> 00:04:32,605
I ever worked with. Boehner, I kid you.
157
00:04:32,605 --> 00:04:33,740
I love this kid.
158
00:04:33,740 --> 00:04:36,342
How dare you? I'm sorry, Wayne.
159
00:04:38,144 --> 00:04:39,379
That's going to ruffle some feathers,
160
00:04:39,379 --> 00:04:41,547
I think. I don't give a shit.
161
00:04:41,547 --> 00:04:42,782
You know what, Robbie?
162
00:04:42,782 --> 00:04:44,851
Come on.
163
00:04:45,451 --> 00:04:46,085
Go on, Robbie.
164
00:04:46,085 --> 00:04:47,820
Tell him who you are.
165
00:04:48,554 --> 00:04:49,322
All right.
166
00:04:49,322 --> 00:04:51,324
My name is Robbie Smith.
167
00:04:51,324 --> 00:04:54,360
I am an ex contractor out of Virginia.
168
00:04:54,694 --> 00:04:55,628
I've been with Boehner
169
00:04:55,628 --> 00:04:58,731
for about three and a half years now,
170
00:04:58,731 --> 00:05:00,600
if you can believe it, Rob.
171
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,135
I started out at Boehner
172
00:05:02,135 --> 00:05:03,036
in tech training.
173
00:05:03,036 --> 00:05:04,771
Just travel in
174
00:05:04,771 --> 00:05:06,939
the entire east with Rob Johnson,
175
00:05:06,973 --> 00:05:07,807
just road
176
00:05:07,807 --> 00:05:10,977
warriors on the road teaching classes.
177
00:05:12,245 --> 00:05:13,946
When he got hired, Wayne,
178
00:05:13,946 --> 00:05:15,181
when he got hired,
179
00:05:15,181 --> 00:05:16,716
we told him, yeah, you know,
180
00:05:16,716 --> 00:05:18,084
you might be on the week,
181
00:05:18,084 --> 00:05:20,086
you might be on the road, maybe,
182
00:05:20,086 --> 00:05:21,788
you know, one or two times a month.
183
00:05:21,788 --> 00:05:23,256
How many weeks did we do
184
00:05:23,256 --> 00:05:25,224
when you started? In a row?
185
00:05:26,526 --> 00:05:27,226
In a row?
186
00:05:27,226 --> 00:05:28,127
When we first started,
187
00:05:28,127 --> 00:05:30,296
they were a little bit more sporadic
188
00:05:30,296 --> 00:05:30,830
after about.
189
00:05:30,830 --> 00:05:33,166
Well, I was going to say
190
00:05:33,166 --> 00:05:34,200
it still in the beginning,
191
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:35,168
but after about two months,
192
00:05:35,168 --> 00:05:36,703
we did a 28 week
193
00:05:36,703 --> 00:05:38,971
cigaret straight on the road
194
00:05:38,971 --> 00:05:40,440
teaching classes.
195
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,342
Wow. And, you know.
196
00:05:42,342 --> 00:05:44,177
It is I see the Rolling Stones.
197
00:05:44,177 --> 00:05:45,778
It's hard to kind of.
198
00:05:47,146 --> 00:05:49,449
It is hard to keep the positive
199
00:05:49,449 --> 00:05:50,283
vibe, energy,
200
00:05:50,283 --> 00:05:51,084
whatever you want to call it
201
00:05:51,084 --> 00:05:52,318
going for that long.
202
00:05:52,318 --> 00:05:53,820
I it did start to show
203
00:05:53,820 --> 00:05:54,587
I think a little bit there.
204
00:05:54,587 --> 00:05:55,021
At the end
205
00:05:55,021 --> 00:05:56,522
we would go and sit down for dinner
206
00:05:56,522 --> 00:05:57,223
at the end of the night
207
00:05:57,223 --> 00:05:57,824
and just
208
00:05:57,824 --> 00:05:59,192
not really even speak to each other
209
00:05:59,192 --> 00:06:01,561
like, hey, I just want to go home so bad.
210
00:06:01,561 --> 00:06:03,463
But it was fine. It was a good time.
211
00:06:03,463 --> 00:06:04,864
We got through it and I think
212
00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:06,799
Rob and I
213
00:06:06,799 --> 00:06:07,800
schools, I mean, I
214
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:08,968
don't want to toot my own horn,
215
00:06:08,968 --> 00:06:09,402
but I don't,
216
00:06:09,402 --> 00:06:11,170
I don't know if that will ever be topped.
217
00:06:11,170 --> 00:06:13,272
Robin Ravi School I think that was
218
00:06:13,272 --> 00:06:14,807
that was as good as it got.
219
00:06:14,807 --> 00:06:17,310
Rob Square Baby.
220
00:06:18,711 --> 00:06:19,912
In those days
221
00:06:19,912 --> 00:06:21,447
that down on the 28 week stretch
222
00:06:21,447 --> 00:06:23,282
you know how you could have been happy
223
00:06:23,282 --> 00:06:25,485
had been more like a Tibetan monk.
224
00:06:25,485 --> 00:06:26,219
Right?
225
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:27,720
Yeah.
226
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,422
With all that meditation.
227
00:06:29,422 --> 00:06:30,723
Yeah. Yeah.
228
00:06:30,723 --> 00:06:31,524
All right.
229
00:06:31,524 --> 00:06:33,960
So you're here, I guess, the the delayed.
230
00:06:35,161 --> 00:06:37,029
Go ahead. How?
231
00:06:37,029 --> 00:06:38,598
Okay. No, go ahead.
232
00:06:38,598 --> 00:06:39,799
Finish your thought.
233
00:06:40,466 --> 00:06:42,935
I was going to say the the time spent
234
00:06:43,202 --> 00:06:46,105
on those flights and layovers,
235
00:06:46,105 --> 00:06:46,939
I could have spent a little bit
236
00:06:46,939 --> 00:06:48,908
more time meditating
237
00:06:48,975 --> 00:06:50,510
instead of just being angry.
238
00:06:50,510 --> 00:06:52,678
Instead of being on Bumble.
239
00:06:52,678 --> 00:06:54,580
Yeah. Those days are behind me.
240
00:06:54,580 --> 00:06:56,182
Rob is.
241
00:06:56,182 --> 00:06:57,750
He's a cat man now.
242
00:06:57,750 --> 00:07:00,119
Yeah. Yeah. All right.
243
00:07:00,686 --> 00:07:03,356
I want to talk about the these
244
00:07:03,356 --> 00:07:04,524
diamond tanning plates,
245
00:07:04,524 --> 00:07:06,793
because I tell you what,
246
00:07:06,793 --> 00:07:08,494
I was with Jeremiah Strong
247
00:07:08,494 --> 00:07:10,163
at the RTC in Nashville
248
00:07:10,163 --> 00:07:10,930
and several people
249
00:07:10,930 --> 00:07:12,398
that listen to this podcast right now
250
00:07:12,398 --> 00:07:13,533
where they're at the same time
251
00:07:15,301 --> 00:07:16,202
he ran
252
00:07:16,202 --> 00:07:16,869
those
253
00:07:16,869 --> 00:07:19,071
those deaths on the lunar oxide floor.
254
00:07:19,806 --> 00:07:22,008
He turned the power drive on,
255
00:07:22,008 --> 00:07:23,643
and 15 seconds later, he stopped.
256
00:07:23,643 --> 00:07:24,644
And we both looked at each other
257
00:07:24,644 --> 00:07:26,746
and shook her head like, Holy smokes,
258
00:07:26,746 --> 00:07:27,814
we're as have
259
00:07:27,814 --> 00:07:29,515
these been all our lives, man.
260
00:07:29,515 --> 00:07:31,451
All the aluminum oxide jobs,
261
00:07:31,451 --> 00:07:33,186
if anybody, you know,
262
00:07:33,186 --> 00:07:35,321
you put the sandpaper on, you know,
263
00:07:35,321 --> 00:07:36,756
it's almost like, say,
264
00:07:36,756 --> 00:07:38,424
at least I hope you do.
265
00:07:38,424 --> 00:07:38,758
And you're
266
00:07:38,758 --> 00:07:40,193
praying that you're going
267
00:07:40,193 --> 00:07:40,593
to get a lot
268
00:07:40,593 --> 00:07:42,662
out of the building in ten feet or so.
269
00:07:42,662 --> 00:07:44,163
You burn a built up
270
00:07:44,163 --> 00:07:46,466
and you're like, oh, man, what? What?
271
00:07:46,466 --> 00:07:47,200
What am I in for?
272
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,501
It is going to be a miserable day
273
00:07:48,501 --> 00:07:50,336
of sanding these floors.
274
00:07:50,336 --> 00:07:52,171
Or you can go to some systems out there
275
00:07:52,171 --> 00:07:53,606
that will kind of remove it,
276
00:07:53,606 --> 00:07:54,740
but they chew the living
277
00:07:54,740 --> 00:07:56,075
hell out of the floor.
278
00:07:56,075 --> 00:07:57,810
So where you do have to aggressively
279
00:07:57,810 --> 00:07:59,111
sand it again,
280
00:07:59,111 --> 00:08:00,746
these things are incredible, man.
281
00:08:00,746 --> 00:08:02,281
So, Rob, maybe you can Rob
282
00:08:02,281 --> 00:08:03,182
you can kind of talk
283
00:08:03,182 --> 00:08:04,917
about your experience with these
284
00:08:04,917 --> 00:08:05,218
or did
285
00:08:05,218 --> 00:08:07,053
I just use up all your information?
286
00:08:07,053 --> 00:08:08,521
Yeah. No.
287
00:08:08,521 --> 00:08:09,155
I mean,
288
00:08:09,155 --> 00:08:11,190
I used to spend a lot of time
289
00:08:11,190 --> 00:08:11,958
the night before
290
00:08:11,958 --> 00:08:13,459
going to a pre finished
291
00:08:13,459 --> 00:08:16,496
refinish meditating, if you will,
292
00:08:16,863 --> 00:08:18,431
that there was some other way
293
00:08:18,431 --> 00:08:19,999
to take care of these.
294
00:08:19,999 --> 00:08:21,534
Just really tough to stay on floors.
295
00:08:21,534 --> 00:08:22,134
And as you said,
296
00:08:22,134 --> 00:08:23,202
I mean, you could
297
00:08:23,202 --> 00:08:24,904
I've been on plenty of pre
298
00:08:24,904 --> 00:08:26,606
finished refinished jobs where, you know
299
00:08:26,606 --> 00:08:29,242
you got ten, 20 feet in the shop
300
00:08:29,342 --> 00:08:29,642
and you're
301
00:08:29,642 --> 00:08:31,711
just as soon as you start, you're like,
302
00:08:31,711 --> 00:08:33,980
this is going to be a long, long job.
303
00:08:33,980 --> 00:08:34,480
This is going to
304
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,015
I know I didn't charge enough.
305
00:08:36,015 --> 00:08:37,583
I'm going to lose my shirt on this long
306
00:08:37,583 --> 00:08:38,484
because I'm a be here
307
00:08:38,484 --> 00:08:39,151
for three days
308
00:08:39,151 --> 00:08:42,288
from beginning this thing off.
309
00:08:42,288 --> 00:08:43,756
And we have the answer to that here.
310
00:08:43,756 --> 00:08:45,391
You know, these these parks, not only
311
00:08:45,391 --> 00:08:46,893
are they easy to use,
312
00:08:46,893 --> 00:08:47,193
you know,
313
00:08:47,193 --> 00:08:48,060
you got to buy a separate
314
00:08:48,060 --> 00:08:49,795
piece of equipment.
315
00:08:49,795 --> 00:08:50,830
You know, it's just an attachment
316
00:08:50,830 --> 00:08:52,765
for the already great power drive,
317
00:08:52,765 --> 00:08:53,199
as we know.
318
00:08:53,199 --> 00:08:54,500
That already does help a lot
319
00:08:54,500 --> 00:08:56,202
with some of these tougher sand jobs.
320
00:08:57,570 --> 00:08:58,371
And as you mentioned
321
00:08:58,371 --> 00:08:59,805
before, the thing that impressed me
322
00:08:59,805 --> 00:09:00,940
the most about these
323
00:09:00,940 --> 00:09:03,609
discs is how they don't show up this off.
324
00:09:03,609 --> 00:09:03,943
Great.
325
00:09:03,943 --> 00:09:05,778
And these leaf your species,
326
00:09:05,778 --> 00:09:05,945
you know,
327
00:09:05,945 --> 00:09:07,013
as some of the other products
328
00:09:07,013 --> 00:09:09,181
that we've been experiencing
329
00:09:10,016 --> 00:09:12,351
or utilizing over the past
330
00:09:12,351 --> 00:09:13,953
several years to try to
331
00:09:13,953 --> 00:09:15,154
remove these tough
332
00:09:15,154 --> 00:09:17,189
vehicular and aluminum oxide finishes,
333
00:09:18,424 --> 00:09:19,191
you know, it
334
00:09:19,191 --> 00:09:21,561
it does not remove the bevel,
335
00:09:21,561 --> 00:09:22,862
but that's kind of the easy part
336
00:09:22,862 --> 00:09:23,829
once you get to it is, you know,
337
00:09:23,829 --> 00:09:24,897
at least at least up down
338
00:09:24,897 --> 00:09:25,831
to the raw wood in
339
00:09:25,831 --> 00:09:27,733
my machine had something to cut on.
340
00:09:27,733 --> 00:09:29,769
It's not just sliding across these
341
00:09:29,769 --> 00:09:31,070
tough to the stand finish
342
00:09:31,070 --> 00:09:32,238
and burn it through,
343
00:09:32,238 --> 00:09:34,840
you know, 100 belts on 1000 feet.
344
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,175
These things get it done quick.
345
00:09:36,175 --> 00:09:37,777
They get it done efficiently.
346
00:09:37,777 --> 00:09:39,579
And, you know,
347
00:09:39,579 --> 00:09:40,780
it's somewhat cost effective
348
00:09:40,780 --> 00:09:41,781
as it's not a separate tool.
349
00:09:41,781 --> 00:09:42,248
It's just something
350
00:09:42,248 --> 00:09:42,748
that's already
351
00:09:42,748 --> 00:09:44,550
an attachment for the piece of equipment
352
00:09:44,550 --> 00:09:45,284
that you already own.
353
00:09:46,652 --> 00:09:48,521
When I when I bought my house that I'm in
354
00:09:48,521 --> 00:09:49,855
right now, the upstairs
355
00:09:49,855 --> 00:09:51,090
three bedrooms upstairs
356
00:09:51,090 --> 00:09:53,593
was a refinished floors,
357
00:09:53,593 --> 00:09:54,093
three quarter
358
00:09:54,093 --> 00:09:55,661
two and a quarter pre finished
359
00:09:55,661 --> 00:09:57,129
and actually they had no business
360
00:09:57,129 --> 00:09:57,630
in selling them
361
00:09:57,630 --> 00:09:58,631
floors on that subfloor
362
00:09:58,631 --> 00:09:59,899
man I had a say in the hell out of them
363
00:09:59,899 --> 00:10:01,767
to get them plan whatever but
364
00:10:01,767 --> 00:10:02,735
sanding them floor.
365
00:10:02,735 --> 00:10:03,336
I still remember
366
00:10:03,336 --> 00:10:05,071
that was only like eight years ago
367
00:10:05,071 --> 00:10:07,039
and sanding that woman on my side of them
368
00:10:07,039 --> 00:10:09,308
floors man was brutal.
369
00:10:09,308 --> 00:10:11,377
And then it doesn't really bother me
370
00:10:11,377 --> 00:10:13,179
that they don't send the bevels out
371
00:10:13,179 --> 00:10:14,313
because some guys don't
372
00:10:14,313 --> 00:10:16,082
want to stay in the builders out. Sure.
373
00:10:16,082 --> 00:10:17,750
So that you can have your choice
374
00:10:17,750 --> 00:10:18,217
at that point.
375
00:10:18,217 --> 00:10:20,286
You can put a sander on it anyhow.
376
00:10:20,286 --> 00:10:22,555
But yeah, I think of all the times
377
00:10:22,555 --> 00:10:23,422
we've been on jobs
378
00:10:23,422 --> 00:10:24,557
with looking at like same floor
379
00:10:24,557 --> 00:10:25,558
as being trying to stay on them
380
00:10:25,558 --> 00:10:27,627
and this is miserable.
381
00:10:27,627 --> 00:10:29,895
And if you've ever had them back to back
382
00:10:29,895 --> 00:10:31,497
and you start reevaluating
383
00:10:31,497 --> 00:10:32,531
your decisions in life
384
00:10:33,499 --> 00:10:35,701
of your career choice,
385
00:10:35,701 --> 00:10:37,003
I remember we had two back to back
386
00:10:37,003 --> 00:10:39,138
jobs, over 1500 square feet of my ex.
387
00:10:39,138 --> 00:10:40,840
I, I should have spaced them out
388
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,842
between to give us a bit of a break.
389
00:10:42,842 --> 00:10:45,311
But it is absolutely brutal job.
390
00:10:45,311 --> 00:10:47,647
And I think
391
00:10:47,647 --> 00:10:48,214
the reason
392
00:10:48,214 --> 00:10:49,181
that some of the other things
393
00:10:49,181 --> 00:10:50,216
that you talked about that
394
00:10:50,216 --> 00:10:52,051
that that we would try different
395
00:10:52,051 --> 00:10:54,220
systems out there are different machines
396
00:10:54,220 --> 00:10:55,354
is in a desperate attempt
397
00:10:55,354 --> 00:10:56,055
to find something
398
00:10:56,055 --> 00:10:57,690
to get this off the floor
399
00:10:57,690 --> 00:10:59,759
and this search is over, man.
400
00:10:59,759 --> 00:11:00,893
I mean, in 15
401
00:11:00,893 --> 00:11:03,496
seconds, I'm not exaggerating.
402
00:11:03,496 --> 00:11:05,698
We we looked at each other, went,
403
00:11:05,731 --> 00:11:07,933
oh, my God, this is incredible.
404
00:11:07,933 --> 00:11:09,602
And so I thought,
405
00:11:09,602 --> 00:11:10,503
all right, well, maybe that's
406
00:11:10,503 --> 00:11:11,337
maybe there's a different
407
00:11:11,337 --> 00:11:12,071
aluminum oxides.
408
00:11:12,071 --> 00:11:12,672
Maybe it wasn't
409
00:11:12,672 --> 00:11:14,206
one of the really bad ones.
410
00:11:14,206 --> 00:11:15,341
And you guys have tested them
411
00:11:15,341 --> 00:11:17,376
on all kinds of floors, man.
412
00:11:17,376 --> 00:11:19,445
And it's been this is sensational for us.
413
00:11:19,445 --> 00:11:19,712
So.
414
00:11:21,414 --> 00:11:23,249
Yeah, you know, the product
415
00:11:23,249 --> 00:11:24,550
management department
416
00:11:24,550 --> 00:11:25,551
that I'm in now is
417
00:11:25,551 --> 00:11:27,720
I kind of failed to mention earlier,
418
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:27,987
you know,
419
00:11:27,987 --> 00:11:28,921
we spent a lot of time
420
00:11:28,921 --> 00:11:30,790
passing these around to contractors
421
00:11:30,790 --> 00:11:33,459
all over the U.S. and Canada.
422
00:11:33,459 --> 00:11:35,061
And I spoke in-depth
423
00:11:35,061 --> 00:11:35,995
with a lot of these guys
424
00:11:35,995 --> 00:11:36,629
that tested them
425
00:11:36,629 --> 00:11:38,364
who have tried, you know,
426
00:11:38,364 --> 00:11:39,699
different abrasives,
427
00:11:39,699 --> 00:11:41,701
different attachments, some chemical,
428
00:11:41,701 --> 00:11:43,736
you know, ways to strip the finish.
429
00:11:43,736 --> 00:11:46,172
And I heard the exact same thing
430
00:11:46,172 --> 00:11:48,240
from every single contractor that tested
431
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:49,442
these is
432
00:11:49,442 --> 00:11:51,310
these are a lifesaver
433
00:11:51,310 --> 00:11:53,779
when it comes to refinishing
434
00:11:54,246 --> 00:11:55,247
pretty finished floors.
435
00:11:55,247 --> 00:11:57,750
I used to try to dodge these floors
436
00:11:57,750 --> 00:12:00,052
like they had the plague as a contractor,
437
00:12:00,052 --> 00:12:00,286
you know,
438
00:12:00,286 --> 00:12:01,587
go out, bid a job, you walk,
439
00:12:01,587 --> 00:12:02,521
you see it's pre finished
440
00:12:02,521 --> 00:12:04,223
and I'm like, oh,
441
00:12:04,223 --> 00:12:06,092
you know, it's just now
442
00:12:06,092 --> 00:12:07,493
I wouldn't run from them at all.
443
00:12:07,493 --> 00:12:07,727
You know,
444
00:12:07,727 --> 00:12:09,228
I take on as many as I can
445
00:12:09,228 --> 00:12:11,630
while I got the attachments
446
00:12:11,630 --> 00:12:14,066
and use them to my advantage and,
447
00:12:14,900 --> 00:12:16,702
and really just push them
448
00:12:16,702 --> 00:12:16,936
as hard
449
00:12:16,936 --> 00:12:18,871
as I could to inform people
450
00:12:18,871 --> 00:12:19,238
that, you know,
451
00:12:19,238 --> 00:12:21,340
there are better options than, you know,
452
00:12:21,340 --> 00:12:23,442
turn this old pre finished floor out.
453
00:12:24,276 --> 00:12:26,612
You know, it can be refinished easily and
454
00:12:27,213 --> 00:12:28,380
it's just good for everyone.
455
00:12:29,682 --> 00:12:30,483
Hey, Rob, you give us
456
00:12:30,483 --> 00:12:32,351
a step by step.
457
00:12:33,519 --> 00:12:35,421
As far as refinishing these.
458
00:12:35,421 --> 00:12:36,822
Stories. Yeah.
459
00:12:36,822 --> 00:12:38,524
You know, weights on the power drive,
460
00:12:38,524 --> 00:12:39,992
no weights,
461
00:12:39,992 --> 00:12:41,293
steel plates on it,
462
00:12:41,293 --> 00:12:43,729
you know, give us a sure walk in.
463
00:12:43,729 --> 00:12:45,331
And so right now,
464
00:12:45,331 --> 00:12:46,098
right now, as
465
00:12:46,098 --> 00:12:46,599
I said before,
466
00:12:46,599 --> 00:12:48,033
these are just a six inch disc
467
00:12:48,033 --> 00:12:48,667
that hook and loops
468
00:12:48,667 --> 00:12:50,035
onto your power drive.
469
00:12:50,035 --> 00:12:50,736
You know,
470
00:12:51,070 --> 00:12:52,638
I recommend using the quarter
471
00:12:52,638 --> 00:12:53,973
inch interface pads in between them
472
00:12:53,973 --> 00:12:54,373
just to give them
473
00:12:54,373 --> 00:12:56,008
a little bit of cushion.
474
00:12:56,575 --> 00:12:57,676
You know, if you got something
475
00:12:57,676 --> 00:12:58,744
that's really tough, you know,
476
00:12:58,744 --> 00:12:59,111
you might
477
00:12:59,111 --> 00:12:59,745
you might use them
478
00:12:59,745 --> 00:13:01,380
without the interface pads.
479
00:13:01,380 --> 00:13:02,181
But that's, you know, that's
480
00:13:02,181 --> 00:13:03,482
that's totally up to you.
481
00:13:03,482 --> 00:13:04,717
We are currently recommending
482
00:13:04,717 --> 00:13:06,118
not using any weights
483
00:13:06,118 --> 00:13:08,120
as they are pretty aggressive.
484
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:09,955
The scratch pattern is pretty aggressive,
485
00:13:09,955 --> 00:13:14,059
but it's not unmanageable.
486
00:13:14,059 --> 00:13:15,528
You know, I would definitely recommend
487
00:13:15,528 --> 00:13:16,929
running over the pre
488
00:13:16,929 --> 00:13:17,696
finished floor
489
00:13:17,696 --> 00:13:18,063
as you would
490
00:13:18,063 --> 00:13:19,231
typically run your power drive
491
00:13:19,231 --> 00:13:19,865
until it's clean.
492
00:13:21,133 --> 00:13:21,634
There's you know,
493
00:13:21,634 --> 00:13:22,701
everyone's got a different way
494
00:13:22,701 --> 00:13:23,536
of running their power drives.
495
00:13:23,536 --> 00:13:24,837
So I'm not going to say
496
00:13:24,837 --> 00:13:25,638
which way is best,
497
00:13:25,638 --> 00:13:26,872
but once you get
498
00:13:26,872 --> 00:13:28,541
it cleaned up with these pucks,
499
00:13:28,541 --> 00:13:30,009
then you have your option of,
500
00:13:30,009 --> 00:13:31,043
do I want to bring my belt
501
00:13:31,043 --> 00:13:31,710
machine in here
502
00:13:31,710 --> 00:13:33,946
and just belt off these scratches?
503
00:13:33,946 --> 00:13:34,847
Or do I just want to work
504
00:13:34,847 --> 00:13:35,714
my power drive up
505
00:13:35,714 --> 00:13:37,850
and you have the option with that?
506
00:13:37,850 --> 00:13:39,351
So a lot of these guys nowadays
507
00:13:39,351 --> 00:13:40,519
that are just start to finish
508
00:13:40,519 --> 00:13:41,687
with their power drive,
509
00:13:41,687 --> 00:13:42,488
even with these,
510
00:13:42,488 --> 00:13:43,122
they don't have to worry
511
00:13:43,122 --> 00:13:45,191
about getting their belt machine back in,
512
00:13:45,191 --> 00:13:46,058
especially if they're not worried
513
00:13:46,058 --> 00:13:46,625
about cutting out
514
00:13:46,625 --> 00:13:48,894
some of those Microbubbles
515
00:13:48,894 --> 00:13:51,030
As far as you know, grit sequence,
516
00:13:51,030 --> 00:13:53,365
I think that's going to depend on you
517
00:13:53,365 --> 00:13:54,233
as a contractor
518
00:13:54,233 --> 00:13:56,135
and what species you're working on.
519
00:13:56,135 --> 00:13:57,870
We have found that a lot of guys,
520
00:13:57,870 --> 00:13:59,738
though, were able to follow up
521
00:13:59,738 --> 00:14:00,406
the diamond
522
00:14:00,406 --> 00:14:02,241
standing plates with like a 50 green
523
00:14:02,241 --> 00:14:04,076
to remove the scratches left behind.
524
00:14:04,076 --> 00:14:04,343
And then,
525
00:14:04,343 --> 00:14:04,810
of course, you know,
526
00:14:04,810 --> 00:14:05,878
you just work your grits up
527
00:14:05,878 --> 00:14:07,546
in a standard recommended
528
00:14:07,546 --> 00:14:08,280
sanding sequence.
529
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:09,782
From there.
530
00:14:09,782 --> 00:14:11,016
That was my big question.
531
00:14:11,016 --> 00:14:13,052
What's our next cut after the diamond?
532
00:14:13,052 --> 00:14:15,421
So you recommend a 50 grain,
533
00:14:15,421 --> 00:14:17,489
whether it's on the power drive
534
00:14:17,489 --> 00:14:20,092
or the big machine, correct.
535
00:14:20,092 --> 00:14:20,359
Okay.
536
00:14:22,261 --> 00:14:23,662
So you look at the cost of
537
00:14:23,662 --> 00:14:25,231
doing alumina oxide for,
538
00:14:25,231 --> 00:14:25,898
you know, basically,
539
00:14:25,898 --> 00:14:26,165
you know,
540
00:14:26,165 --> 00:14:27,333
after you do one or two of these,
541
00:14:27,333 --> 00:14:28,801
you get smart, realize
542
00:14:28,801 --> 00:14:29,635
you really get to charge
543
00:14:29,635 --> 00:14:31,337
a lot of money for these.
544
00:14:31,337 --> 00:14:33,372
And that conversation doesn't change.
545
00:14:33,772 --> 00:14:35,140
I'd still say the same thing.
546
00:14:35,140 --> 00:14:35,574
You know,
547
00:14:35,574 --> 00:14:36,976
you got to charge a lot of money
548
00:14:36,976 --> 00:14:37,776
for these,
549
00:14:37,776 --> 00:14:39,812
but man, talk about a moneymaker
550
00:14:40,446 --> 00:14:41,981
to be able to use this machine
551
00:14:41,981 --> 00:14:43,282
and get that off the floor
552
00:14:43,282 --> 00:14:44,884
and make your jobs go so much faster.
553
00:14:44,884 --> 00:14:46,652
But it's not it's not only that.
554
00:14:46,652 --> 00:14:49,121
It's it's cutting the aggravation down.
555
00:14:49,555 --> 00:14:50,055
I mean, no.
556
00:14:50,055 --> 00:14:52,291
One, if you're on those aluminum oxide
557
00:14:52,291 --> 00:14:54,093
jobs, it's a miserable day.
558
00:14:54,093 --> 00:14:54,727
I mean, let's face
559
00:14:54,727 --> 00:14:56,195
it, it's tough to sand
560
00:14:56,195 --> 00:14:57,730
in floors and in the edger,
561
00:14:58,764 --> 00:15:00,299
edging off aluminum oxide is
562
00:15:00,299 --> 00:15:01,667
miserable as well.
563
00:15:01,667 --> 00:15:02,768
So you can get this thing
564
00:15:02,768 --> 00:15:04,236
damn close to this, to the
565
00:15:04,236 --> 00:15:05,638
to the baseboard
566
00:15:05,638 --> 00:15:07,806
and cut out the aggravation.
567
00:15:07,806 --> 00:15:08,407
Yeah.
568
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,342
Instead of one guy on the edge,
569
00:15:10,342 --> 00:15:10,809
you're just,
570
00:15:10,809 --> 00:15:11,810
you know, it's a miserable day.
571
00:15:11,810 --> 00:15:12,945
And we got in a big machine
572
00:15:12,945 --> 00:15:14,146
and cut and gone through.
573
00:15:14,146 --> 00:15:15,047
Did it the other day.
574
00:15:15,047 --> 00:15:15,948
You get all the sandpaper
575
00:15:15,948 --> 00:15:17,283
at the end of the day
576
00:15:17,283 --> 00:15:18,584
and that's even more depressing.
577
00:15:18,584 --> 00:15:20,119
Like holy smokes, it can be built.
578
00:15:20,119 --> 00:15:21,387
I burned, you know?
579
00:15:21,387 --> 00:15:22,221
And you try to say, Well,
580
00:15:22,221 --> 00:15:23,489
I may use them on another job.
581
00:15:23,489 --> 00:15:25,357
May I still have some life in them?
582
00:15:25,357 --> 00:15:27,526
But you pretty much burned them belts.
583
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,461
So to be able to save the money
584
00:15:29,461 --> 00:15:30,396
and the aggravation
585
00:15:30,396 --> 00:15:32,898
and all that crap that goes into it,
586
00:15:32,898 --> 00:15:35,000
these aluminum oxide floors now, and
587
00:15:36,669 --> 00:15:37,636
especially like
588
00:15:37,636 --> 00:15:39,738
you also have on engineered floors
589
00:15:39,738 --> 00:15:40,439
and like we said,
590
00:15:40,439 --> 00:15:41,407
some of these other floors
591
00:15:41,407 --> 00:15:41,974
will remove,
592
00:15:41,974 --> 00:15:43,275
these other products will remove it,
593
00:15:43,275 --> 00:15:45,377
but to the hell out of the wood.
594
00:15:45,377 --> 00:15:46,111
So there's nothing there.
595
00:15:46,111 --> 00:15:47,313
So you can't trust that system
596
00:15:47,313 --> 00:15:49,214
on an engineer floor
597
00:15:49,214 --> 00:15:50,382
because they'll go through the
598
00:15:50,382 --> 00:15:51,517
the wear layer.
599
00:15:51,517 --> 00:15:54,153
So this is this is you
600
00:15:54,153 --> 00:15:54,753
know, Robin,
601
00:15:54,753 --> 00:15:56,388
I've been wanting to talk about this
602
00:15:56,388 --> 00:15:57,523
for like a month,
603
00:15:57,523 --> 00:15:59,792
so I appreciate you coming on
604
00:15:59,792 --> 00:16:01,560
and kind of giving your your
605
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:02,628
your expertize on this.
606
00:16:02,628 --> 00:16:04,730
So this is a this is exciting for us.
607
00:16:04,730 --> 00:16:08,000
And our distributors are loaded up,
608
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:08,901
I understand.
609
00:16:08,901 --> 00:16:09,768
So we already got them out
610
00:16:09,768 --> 00:16:11,303
with distribution.
611
00:16:11,303 --> 00:16:14,239
So yeah, we're excited about it.
612
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:15,007
Robbie
613
00:16:15,007 --> 00:16:17,209
What's the lifecycle on these parts?
614
00:16:17,209 --> 00:16:18,477
You're going to get about anywhere
615
00:16:18,477 --> 00:16:20,779
from 5 to 10000 square feet.
616
00:16:20,779 --> 00:16:23,082
And I know that may sound like kind of
617
00:16:23,082 --> 00:16:24,683
like a large gap in between.
618
00:16:25,684 --> 00:16:26,385
And that's a good
619
00:16:26,385 --> 00:16:27,987
segue way to talk about these.
620
00:16:27,987 --> 00:16:29,054
The longevity in them
621
00:16:29,054 --> 00:16:30,489
is going to depend a little bit on
622
00:16:30,489 --> 00:16:31,490
how you treat them.
623
00:16:31,490 --> 00:16:33,359
One thing about these these boxes,
624
00:16:33,359 --> 00:16:34,626
they are all metal.
625
00:16:34,626 --> 00:16:35,427
And as we know, there's
626
00:16:35,427 --> 00:16:36,061
a lot of friction
627
00:16:36,061 --> 00:16:37,863
being created between the machine
628
00:16:37,863 --> 00:16:39,631
and the hardwood itself.
629
00:16:39,631 --> 00:16:40,833
So we do recommend
630
00:16:40,833 --> 00:16:42,901
stopping every couple of hundred feet
631
00:16:42,901 --> 00:16:44,203
and turning the machine over
632
00:16:44,203 --> 00:16:45,170
and just giving them a chance
633
00:16:45,170 --> 00:16:46,438
to kind of cool down.
634
00:16:46,438 --> 00:16:47,973
Because you'll notice
635
00:16:47,973 --> 00:16:48,841
as you run up, they
636
00:16:48,841 --> 00:16:50,809
they do tend to heat up a little bit.
637
00:16:50,809 --> 00:16:52,444
So I will use this as the
638
00:16:52,444 --> 00:16:54,646
as a as a warning to say, you know, don't
639
00:16:54,913 --> 00:16:56,181
don't grab it with bare hands
640
00:16:56,181 --> 00:16:56,882
if you've been running them
641
00:16:56,882 --> 00:16:58,484
for a few hundred feet,
642
00:16:58,484 --> 00:16:59,118
use the glove,
643
00:16:59,118 --> 00:17:00,319
use your mechanic's gloves.
644
00:17:00,319 --> 00:17:01,153
Or, you know,
645
00:17:01,153 --> 00:17:02,554
if you've ever bought the wire brush kit,
646
00:17:02,554 --> 00:17:04,857
those come with a great set of gloves
647
00:17:04,857 --> 00:17:06,492
and a five in one tool that also works
648
00:17:06,492 --> 00:17:10,529
very well on these talks as well.
649
00:17:10,529 --> 00:17:12,364
So if you if you take care of them
650
00:17:12,364 --> 00:17:13,198
and you don't run them
651
00:17:13,198 --> 00:17:14,333
on a lot of sticky,
652
00:17:14,333 --> 00:17:14,867
hard to use
653
00:17:14,867 --> 00:17:15,801
surfaces, it's
654
00:17:15,801 --> 00:17:18,137
going to increase the longevity of them.
655
00:17:18,137 --> 00:17:18,871
That being said,
656
00:17:18,871 --> 00:17:21,507
if you do get them on to a job that has,
657
00:17:22,374 --> 00:17:24,510
you know, maybe it had some wax on it
658
00:17:24,510 --> 00:17:25,878
or something that was a little bit sticky
659
00:17:25,878 --> 00:17:26,745
and starting to clog
660
00:17:26,745 --> 00:17:27,813
the pucks up a little bit.
661
00:17:28,781 --> 00:17:30,449
Denatured alcohol and
662
00:17:30,449 --> 00:17:31,683
a kind of medium
663
00:17:31,683 --> 00:17:32,484
stiff brush
664
00:17:32,484 --> 00:17:35,521
helps to clean them up very well.
665
00:17:35,654 --> 00:17:36,889
So as long as you take care of them,
666
00:17:36,889 --> 00:17:37,523
you will probably get
667
00:17:37,523 --> 00:17:40,059
that maximum square footage out of them.
668
00:17:40,059 --> 00:17:41,593
You know, when you were working with me
669
00:17:41,593 --> 00:17:43,562
in training, you didn't sound this smart.
670
00:17:43,562 --> 00:17:44,730
What happened?
671
00:17:45,864 --> 00:17:48,567
You sound much smarter now.
672
00:17:48,567 --> 00:17:50,402
Is that what the
673
00:17:50,402 --> 00:17:51,370
the product management
674
00:17:51,370 --> 00:17:52,638
team has done for you?
675
00:17:52,638 --> 00:17:54,373
Have you ever heard the phrase
676
00:17:54,373 --> 00:17:58,077
fake it till you make it?
677
00:17:58,077 --> 00:17:58,811
You know, so you.
678
00:17:58,811 --> 00:18:02,848
Know.
679
00:18:02,848 --> 00:18:04,216
You get a belt.
680
00:18:04,316 --> 00:18:04,917
It was in
681
00:18:04,917 --> 00:18:06,151
I was in a bar in Nashville
682
00:18:06,151 --> 00:18:07,619
that I've talked about before.
683
00:18:07,619 --> 00:18:08,287
I've seen these guys
684
00:18:08,287 --> 00:18:10,189
probably play 30 times
685
00:18:10,189 --> 00:18:11,223
and there's Elite,
686
00:18:11,223 --> 00:18:12,558
there's called the Don Kelly Band,
687
00:18:12,558 --> 00:18:13,459
and he's the leader of the band
688
00:18:13,459 --> 00:18:15,594
and he's probably in his sixties.
689
00:18:15,594 --> 00:18:18,030
And he has a phenom guitar player
690
00:18:18,363 --> 00:18:19,598
that plays with these
691
00:18:19,598 --> 00:18:20,732
like eight years old.
692
00:18:20,732 --> 00:18:21,567
Now he's like 20.
693
00:18:21,567 --> 00:18:22,768
I've been seeing it for years.
694
00:18:22,768 --> 00:18:24,002
I've seen that kid.
695
00:18:24,002 --> 00:18:26,038
Okay, guys. Yeah, right. Okay. Yeah.
696
00:18:26,438 --> 00:18:27,506
But what he plays,
697
00:18:27,506 --> 00:18:29,741
he basically stands in this box
698
00:18:29,741 --> 00:18:31,376
and just plays. He doesn't talk.
699
00:18:31,376 --> 00:18:32,311
He doesn't do anything else.
700
00:18:32,311 --> 00:18:33,946
He just does his thing.
701
00:18:33,946 --> 00:18:36,482
Well, Don Kelly retired during COVID,
702
00:18:36,482 --> 00:18:36,915
and I thought,
703
00:18:36,915 --> 00:18:38,050
I wonder how this band is now.
704
00:18:38,050 --> 00:18:39,618
I went back to see him.
705
00:18:39,618 --> 00:18:40,953
And now that Don Kelly's gone,
706
00:18:40,953 --> 00:18:42,087
this kid is coming.
707
00:18:42,087 --> 00:18:43,288
He is all over the place.
708
00:18:43,288 --> 00:18:43,956
He's dancing,
709
00:18:43,956 --> 00:18:45,424
he's on the stage, he's singing.
710
00:18:45,424 --> 00:18:46,892
He's doing all, can I do stuff?
711
00:18:46,892 --> 00:18:47,426
So that's probably
712
00:18:47,426 --> 00:18:49,194
what happened with you, with Rob.
713
00:18:49,194 --> 00:18:53,165
He sucks all the oxygen out of the room.
714
00:18:53,165 --> 00:18:53,732
There's no room.
715
00:18:54,967 --> 00:18:55,868
For me.
716
00:18:55,868 --> 00:18:57,269
And there's not room for two showmen.
717
00:18:57,269 --> 00:18:59,138
There has to be a supporting actor.
718
00:18:59,138 --> 00:19:01,173
And I was fine taking that role
719
00:19:01,206 --> 00:19:03,442
because there's not room for two,
720
00:19:03,442 --> 00:19:04,409
there's no showman.
721
00:19:04,409 --> 00:19:06,278
There's got to be the supporting actor.
722
00:19:06,278 --> 00:19:07,479
And that was my role.
723
00:19:07,479 --> 00:19:09,214
And I played it, I think, to a T
724
00:19:09,214 --> 00:19:10,782
as best as best as.
725
00:19:10,782 --> 00:19:12,084
I tell this to everybody.
726
00:19:12,084 --> 00:19:14,486
Nobody can take a punch like Robby Smith.
727
00:19:14,820 --> 00:19:15,988
Nobody.
728
00:19:16,121 --> 00:19:18,490
He just takes it, laughs it off,
729
00:19:18,891 --> 00:19:19,825
comes back.
730
00:19:19,825 --> 00:19:22,161
Oh, my God, we we had too much fun.
731
00:19:23,228 --> 00:19:24,863
We had too much of that.
732
00:19:24,863 --> 00:19:26,865
It was crazy how much fun we were having.
733
00:19:26,865 --> 00:19:28,534
There was some days where I felt,
734
00:19:28,534 --> 00:19:29,067
this is it's
735
00:19:29,067 --> 00:19:30,536
hard to believe I'm getting paid for this
736
00:19:30,536 --> 00:19:32,671
because we're just having a ball.
737
00:19:32,671 --> 00:19:33,539
That's because
738
00:19:33,539 --> 00:19:34,840
Rob's ego's out of control.
739
00:19:36,375 --> 00:19:37,409
Well, you know, the thing is,
740
00:19:37,409 --> 00:19:37,976
the easiest way.
741
00:19:37,976 --> 00:19:39,978
To deal with that out of control.
742
00:19:39,978 --> 00:19:40,746
The best way to deal with
743
00:19:40,746 --> 00:19:42,047
that is just fluff it up.
744
00:19:42,047 --> 00:19:44,316
You know, I really I really do it
745
00:19:44,850 --> 00:19:46,552
very easy.
746
00:19:46,552 --> 00:19:48,620
All I really wanted to implement
747
00:19:49,388 --> 00:19:52,090
like coming out music for Rob, like,
748
00:19:52,090 --> 00:19:52,324
you know,
749
00:19:52,324 --> 00:19:53,225
like when he comes in
750
00:19:53,225 --> 00:19:54,893
like a WWE wrestler,
751
00:19:54,893 --> 00:19:57,563
you know, you introduce them and every.
752
00:19:57,563 --> 00:19:58,730
So the whole class knows
753
00:19:58,730 --> 00:20:01,233
my wrestler entrance song is
754
00:20:01,233 --> 00:20:02,634
is the first 30 seconds
755
00:20:02,634 --> 00:20:04,703
the stranglehold by Ted Nugent that's.
756
00:20:04,703 --> 00:20:06,004
Yeah that's
757
00:20:06,004 --> 00:20:08,207
what's happening with the smoke you know
758
00:20:08,207 --> 00:20:10,309
smoke machine really do it on
759
00:20:10,309 --> 00:20:10,609
you know
760
00:20:10,609 --> 00:20:12,477
really really put the show out there.
761
00:20:12,477 --> 00:20:13,812
I see where you guys got along.
762
00:20:13,812 --> 00:20:17,583
Now, you know
763
00:20:17,583 --> 00:20:19,351
everybody knows what a big Boston
764
00:20:19,351 --> 00:20:20,252
Bruin fan I am.
765
00:20:20,252 --> 00:20:22,120
Everybody knows that. Right.
766
00:20:22,120 --> 00:20:24,489
So the first time.
767
00:20:24,489 --> 00:20:25,924
Can I just introduce you from
768
00:20:25,924 --> 00:20:27,326
can I interrupt you just for 1/2?
769
00:20:28,260 --> 00:20:29,761
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
770
00:20:29,761 --> 00:20:30,362
You know,
771
00:20:30,362 --> 00:20:31,830
listen, I interrupt you all the time.
772
00:20:31,830 --> 00:20:33,465
Do you ever hear me apologize?
773
00:20:33,465 --> 00:20:33,899
Okay.
774
00:20:33,899 --> 00:20:34,166
Let me
775
00:20:34,166 --> 00:20:36,134
let me finish this story for you now.
776
00:20:36,134 --> 00:20:38,270
So the first time I met Robbie,
777
00:20:38,270 --> 00:20:38,604
it's going
778
00:20:38,604 --> 00:20:40,339
all you got a Boston Bruins hat on
779
00:20:40,339 --> 00:20:42,207
and that oh trying to suck up to the boss
780
00:20:42,207 --> 00:20:42,774
you had bros
781
00:20:42,774 --> 00:20:45,344
but then the guy takes off his shirt
782
00:20:45,711 --> 00:20:46,745
and shows me a Boston
783
00:20:46,745 --> 00:20:48,480
Bruins tattoo on his shirt.
784
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,616
No, he did not take off his shirt.
785
00:20:50,682 --> 00:20:52,317
He rolled up his sleeve.
786
00:20:52,317 --> 00:20:53,819
Okay. Big difference.
787
00:20:53,819 --> 00:20:54,586
Okay.
788
00:20:54,586 --> 00:20:55,420
The big difference is
789
00:20:55,420 --> 00:20:58,023
you don't know the story you're playing.
790
00:20:58,190 --> 00:20:58,523
You know it.
791
00:20:58,523 --> 00:20:59,791
Don't get me going about Uncle
792
00:20:59,791 --> 00:21:01,893
Stan stories.
793
00:21:02,294 --> 00:21:03,362
Robbie, what else are you guys
794
00:21:03,362 --> 00:21:04,630
fooling around with? It?
795
00:21:04,630 --> 00:21:05,497
Product management
796
00:21:05,497 --> 00:21:06,765
that you can't really talk about.
797
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:09,768
But there are a few things.
798
00:21:09,768 --> 00:21:11,003
One thing that I can talk about
799
00:21:11,003 --> 00:21:11,770
and that I am excited
800
00:21:11,770 --> 00:21:14,640
about is a new finish that we have.
801
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:15,574
It's been out on the market
802
00:21:15,574 --> 00:21:18,043
for maybe six months now.
803
00:21:18,977 --> 00:21:20,345
It's called Domo.
804
00:21:21,146 --> 00:21:24,750
It's just about that.
805
00:21:24,750 --> 00:21:29,688
What I said is this Sorry.
806
00:21:30,055 --> 00:21:31,256
I said,
807
00:21:31,456 --> 00:21:32,591
it's going to give you a I'm going
808
00:21:32,591 --> 00:21:33,358
to give you a heads up
809
00:21:33,358 --> 00:21:34,326
about working with Wayne
810
00:21:34,326 --> 00:21:36,061
when he does things like that.
811
00:21:36,061 --> 00:21:38,730
Your a steamroller, you just keep mo,
812
00:21:38,797 --> 00:21:39,464
you know what I mean?
813
00:21:39,464 --> 00:21:40,032
If a
814
00:21:40,165 --> 00:21:41,366
if a squirrel runs up
815
00:21:41,366 --> 00:21:42,267
in front of a steamroller,
816
00:21:42,267 --> 00:21:43,201
he doesn't stop.
817
00:21:43,201 --> 00:21:45,137
It just becomes part of pavement. So.
818
00:21:45,137 --> 00:21:47,406
So we do all those things like that.
819
00:21:47,406 --> 00:21:48,707
No, don't.
820
00:21:48,707 --> 00:21:49,441
Yeah, we're not cutting
821
00:21:49,441 --> 00:21:50,609
any of this, matter of fact.
822
00:21:50,609 --> 00:21:53,111
So when Wayne does something like that,
823
00:21:53,111 --> 00:21:55,013
you just keep going, okay?
824
00:21:55,013 --> 00:21:56,481
Okay, go.
825
00:21:56,481 --> 00:21:58,583
All right, so as I tell.
826
00:21:58,583 --> 00:21:59,351
You, what did I tell you
827
00:21:59,351 --> 00:22:00,285
about apologizing
828
00:22:00,285 --> 00:22:01,987
for interrupting people?
829
00:22:01,987 --> 00:22:04,122
You do that. That's the show.
830
00:22:04,122 --> 00:22:06,458
That's the flavor of the show. Robby.
831
00:22:06,491 --> 00:22:08,627
Go, Wayne. All right.
832
00:22:08,627 --> 00:22:11,163
Domo knew finish that we released about
833
00:22:11,196 --> 00:22:11,997
six months ago.
834
00:22:13,432 --> 00:22:16,068
It's just phenomenal to work with
835
00:22:16,068 --> 00:22:18,670
flow leveling crystal clear,
836
00:22:19,204 --> 00:22:20,672
especially at the price point
837
00:22:20,672 --> 00:22:21,173
that it's not
838
00:22:21,173 --> 00:22:23,875
it's just it's just a fantastic finish.
839
00:22:23,875 --> 00:22:24,976
One thing that it is
840
00:22:24,976 --> 00:22:25,577
that is unique
841
00:22:25,577 --> 00:22:25,844
about it
842
00:22:25,844 --> 00:22:28,747
is we are selling it in five gallon pail.
843
00:22:28,747 --> 00:22:29,047
I don't
844
00:22:29,047 --> 00:22:29,448
I think that's
845
00:22:29,448 --> 00:22:30,215
the only finish
846
00:22:30,215 --> 00:22:31,149
that we currently sell
847
00:22:31,149 --> 00:22:34,052
any five gallon pail so big jobs
848
00:22:34,553 --> 00:22:36,154
think you saved a little bit of coin
849
00:22:36,154 --> 00:22:37,489
buying it that way.
850
00:22:37,489 --> 00:22:39,358
But the thing that I love about
851
00:22:39,358 --> 00:22:39,925
the finish
852
00:22:39,925 --> 00:22:43,362
the most is the answer or the the
853
00:22:44,196 --> 00:22:45,097
what it provides for.
854
00:22:45,097 --> 00:22:46,598
The pastel colors are white,
855
00:22:46,598 --> 00:22:48,834
your grades, things like that.
856
00:22:48,834 --> 00:22:50,736
It is completely crystal clear.
857
00:22:50,736 --> 00:22:51,536
So you're not going to
858
00:22:51,536 --> 00:22:52,904
get any of that honey
859
00:22:52,904 --> 00:22:53,972
or orange type color
860
00:22:53,972 --> 00:22:54,539
that you might get
861
00:22:54,539 --> 00:22:56,274
from some of the other
862
00:22:56,274 --> 00:22:57,909
sellers and different
863
00:22:57,909 --> 00:22:59,711
in different lineups. It just
864
00:23:01,012 --> 00:23:02,214
it really
865
00:23:02,214 --> 00:23:05,884
answered a lot of
866
00:23:05,884 --> 00:23:08,387
a lot of situations for these whites
867
00:23:08,387 --> 00:23:09,988
in grades type colors
868
00:23:09,988 --> 00:23:11,556
to provide a clear sealer,
869
00:23:11,556 --> 00:23:14,826
you know, for for those type colors.
870
00:23:14,826 --> 00:23:16,161
Nice. Wow.
871
00:23:16,161 --> 00:23:17,696
Listen to this kid now.
872
00:23:17,696 --> 00:23:18,697
Yeah, he's amazing.
873
00:23:18,697 --> 00:23:19,831
He's really corporate.
874
00:23:19,831 --> 00:23:21,133
Now, you
875
00:23:21,133 --> 00:23:21,466
you know,
876
00:23:21,466 --> 00:23:22,000
when you and I
877
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,068
were playing with that demo
878
00:23:23,068 --> 00:23:25,570
that day up in North Carolina,
879
00:23:26,972 --> 00:23:28,140
did you ever try the
880
00:23:28,140 --> 00:23:29,307
I know we talked about
881
00:23:29,307 --> 00:23:30,976
you were doing some mixing with it
882
00:23:30,976 --> 00:23:31,810
and tinting it,
883
00:23:31,810 --> 00:23:33,545
glazing it, things like that.
884
00:23:33,545 --> 00:23:34,112
You try
885
00:23:34,112 --> 00:23:36,515
do you work with translucent in it?
886
00:23:36,515 --> 00:23:37,949
I did work with the transition
887
00:23:37,949 --> 00:23:38,784
a little bit.
888
00:23:38,784 --> 00:23:39,451
Yes, it does.
889
00:23:39,451 --> 00:23:41,486
Well, with the transition,
890
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,922
you know, it it definitely can
891
00:23:44,956 --> 00:23:47,025
enhance a color
892
00:23:47,025 --> 00:23:47,859
that you're trying to match.
893
00:23:47,859 --> 00:23:49,227
If you've got like a tough match
894
00:23:49,227 --> 00:23:51,696
or just trying to create a custom
895
00:23:51,696 --> 00:23:53,031
type look for a homeowner,
896
00:23:53,031 --> 00:23:54,966
you can put a little transient in there
897
00:23:54,966 --> 00:23:56,101
and really dial
898
00:23:56,101 --> 00:23:57,636
in, you know, either a custom color
899
00:23:57,636 --> 00:23:59,371
or help create a blend
900
00:23:59,371 --> 00:24:02,641
for some of those tough floors.
901
00:24:02,641 --> 00:24:05,210
And just as a as a disclaimer,
902
00:24:05,210 --> 00:24:08,013
be aware that those train stands or
903
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,882
are pretty photosensitive sometimes
904
00:24:11,316 --> 00:24:13,051
and they can't fade a little bit
905
00:24:13,051 --> 00:24:14,653
if if they're in a lot of
906
00:24:14,653 --> 00:24:16,054
the direct sunlight,
907
00:24:16,054 --> 00:24:17,823
but they can be a lifesaver
908
00:24:18,790 --> 00:24:20,292
in the right circumstances.
909
00:24:20,292 --> 00:24:20,926
I'm happy to hear
910
00:24:20,926 --> 00:24:22,928
you say that about Domo, because
911
00:24:23,929 --> 00:24:25,997
my brothers have been using it lately and
912
00:24:26,331 --> 00:24:27,699
and raving about it.
913
00:24:27,699 --> 00:24:29,034
And that's like you said,
914
00:24:29,034 --> 00:24:30,068
the price point is great on it,
915
00:24:30,068 --> 00:24:32,270
but it can be a finish or sealer, but
916
00:24:33,638 --> 00:24:36,274
that's having a crystal clear similar
917
00:24:36,274 --> 00:24:38,276
like that is very important
918
00:24:38,276 --> 00:24:39,711
with these colors, as you say,
919
00:24:39,711 --> 00:24:41,012
and the way the industry is gone.
920
00:24:41,012 --> 00:24:42,214
So I think that's huge for
921
00:24:42,214 --> 00:24:43,882
to have that that filled
922
00:24:43,882 --> 00:24:45,217
and I've said it before
923
00:24:45,217 --> 00:24:47,319
when it first came out and
924
00:24:47,886 --> 00:24:49,087
when I started fooling around with it
925
00:24:49,087 --> 00:24:49,921
is that
926
00:24:50,021 --> 00:24:51,256
if you're an oil based guy
927
00:24:51,256 --> 00:24:51,623
and you
928
00:24:51,623 --> 00:24:53,792
a little bit reticent to use a
929
00:24:54,526 --> 00:24:55,660
oil based finish,
930
00:24:55,660 --> 00:24:57,262
this is your lead in to water
931
00:24:57,262 --> 00:24:58,396
is finish world
932
00:24:58,396 --> 00:24:59,698
because it is going to be
933
00:24:59,698 --> 00:25:00,699
the easiest water based finish
934
00:25:00,699 --> 00:25:03,268
you'll ever use. So yeah pretty
935
00:25:04,536 --> 00:25:06,104
I know people have gives me
936
00:25:06,104 --> 00:25:07,706
some time of using big words like that
937
00:25:07,706 --> 00:25:08,773
like I've got to have this horse
938
00:25:08,773 --> 00:25:09,407
handy, you know,
939
00:25:09,407 --> 00:25:10,175
like, like,
940
00:25:10,175 --> 00:25:10,842
I don't know, words
941
00:25:10,842 --> 00:25:13,144
like energizer, enthusiastic or euphoric
942
00:25:13,144 --> 00:25:15,580
or excited or exhilarated. Exuberant.
943
00:25:16,014 --> 00:25:19,618
But I do like.
944
00:25:23,221 --> 00:25:24,789
You are amazing.
945
00:25:24,789 --> 00:25:26,358
Amazing or forthright,
946
00:25:26,358 --> 00:25:28,560
friendly, frisky, fulfilled and generous.
947
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:29,761
There you go.
948
00:25:29,761 --> 00:25:30,562
You got it right there
949
00:25:30,562 --> 00:25:31,730
at your fingertips.
950
00:25:31,730 --> 00:25:32,864
Uh. It's it's.
951
00:25:32,864 --> 00:25:35,100
It's up here. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
952
00:25:35,100 --> 00:25:36,968
Hey, Robby,
953
00:25:36,968 --> 00:25:38,970
what happened with you in the WFA?
954
00:25:38,970 --> 00:25:41,373
Who did you tick off over at the WFA?
955
00:25:42,841 --> 00:25:45,744
As far as I know, no one.
956
00:25:46,278 --> 00:25:47,712
How old are you?
957
00:25:47,712 --> 00:25:49,214
35. Wow, 30.
958
00:25:49,214 --> 00:25:51,616
I'll be 35 on December 30 here. 35.
959
00:25:51,616 --> 00:25:53,318
And your 35?
960
00:25:53,318 --> 00:25:53,618
Yeah.
961
00:25:53,618 --> 00:25:54,553
How many years have
962
00:25:54,553 --> 00:25:55,820
I put you in for the 40.
963
00:25:55,820 --> 00:25:58,123
Under 40. Oh.
964
00:25:58,123 --> 00:25:59,224
Three years in a row.
965
00:26:00,392 --> 00:26:01,893
Three years in a row.
966
00:26:01,893 --> 00:26:04,796
I have put this kid in 40 under 40.
967
00:26:04,963 --> 00:26:06,064
I see the problem.
968
00:26:06,064 --> 00:26:07,799
Third generation, right.
969
00:26:07,799 --> 00:26:09,167
Is three generation high.
970
00:26:09,167 --> 00:26:11,369
I know where you're going with that.
971
00:26:11,369 --> 00:26:12,103
Oh.
972
00:26:12,103 --> 00:26:14,639
Oh, I see the path.
973
00:26:14,639 --> 00:26:14,973
Yeah.
974
00:26:14,973 --> 00:26:17,042
Come on, man, that was too easy.
975
00:26:17,042 --> 00:26:18,843
Oh, yeah, that's.
976
00:26:18,843 --> 00:26:19,511
That's why
977
00:26:19,744 --> 00:26:20,178
I mean, like,
978
00:26:20,178 --> 00:26:21,513
the last guy that got fired from
979
00:26:21,513 --> 00:26:25,884
a job is referring the next guy to a job.
980
00:26:25,884 --> 00:26:28,553
Also, I'll throw my weight behind it.
981
00:26:28,753 --> 00:26:31,790
Oh, yeah, that was clear.
982
00:26:31,790 --> 00:26:33,425
A spot on the mantle for.
983
00:26:33,425 --> 00:26:33,792
For.
984
00:26:33,959 --> 00:26:35,527
Please say,
985
00:26:35,527 --> 00:26:37,128
you know, I did that on purpose, Robbie.
986
00:26:37,128 --> 00:26:39,030
That was my way of getting Wayne.
987
00:26:39,030 --> 00:26:42,233
Now, to throw your hat into the ring,
988
00:26:43,001 --> 00:26:44,703
okay? I mean, why wouldn't you be?
989
00:26:44,703 --> 00:26:46,538
Look at this kid, Wayne. Yep.
990
00:26:46,538 --> 00:26:48,340
Third generation contractor
991
00:26:49,441 --> 00:26:50,575
going to training.
992
00:26:50,575 --> 00:26:52,410
Now he's moving up the ladder of bone,
993
00:26:52,410 --> 00:26:53,478
and he's going to be our boss.
994
00:26:53,478 --> 00:26:54,613
And a couple of years away,
995
00:26:54,613 --> 00:26:57,415
this kid's fast track and everything
996
00:26:57,415 --> 00:26:59,150
but the 40 under 40.
997
00:26:59,150 --> 00:27:01,186
Wayne I think we're going to need the
998
00:27:01,186 --> 00:27:02,721
the old Highlander
999
00:27:02,721 --> 00:27:03,989
charm, as they would say.
1000
00:27:03,989 --> 00:27:05,590
Ah, the Nixon charm.
1001
00:27:05,590 --> 00:27:07,225
Well, it's actually the end of it.
1002
00:27:07,225 --> 00:27:09,894
Faye is asking for four references
1003
00:27:10,228 --> 00:27:10,862
right now.
1004
00:27:10,862 --> 00:27:12,664
They're looking for four people
1005
00:27:12,664 --> 00:27:15,033
that want to be nominated nominees.
1006
00:27:15,033 --> 00:27:17,335
I should have said I use the wrong word.
1007
00:27:17,335 --> 00:27:19,004
Usually I'm more
1008
00:27:20,238 --> 00:27:22,240
gregarious, gutsy, grateful
1009
00:27:22,374 --> 00:27:25,777
and good natured than that.
1010
00:27:25,777 --> 00:27:26,911
All right.
1011
00:27:26,978 --> 00:27:28,747
Well, Robby, it's been a pleasure
1012
00:27:28,747 --> 00:27:30,181
having you on.
1013
00:27:30,482 --> 00:27:32,250
Oh, yeah, thanks for having me.
1014
00:27:32,250 --> 00:27:33,952
You go. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
1015
00:27:33,952 --> 00:27:35,720
Robby, give a shout out to your father.
1016
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,523
I met him at the at the convention.
1017
00:27:38,523 --> 00:27:40,892
And what an awesome guy.
1018
00:27:40,892 --> 00:27:42,627
You got to give him a shout out.
1019
00:27:42,627 --> 00:27:44,162
Yeah, he's a great guy, man.
1020
00:27:44,162 --> 00:27:47,432
Tell me everything I know.
1021
00:27:47,432 --> 00:27:48,099
That's it.
1022
00:27:48,099 --> 00:27:49,734
That's all you got for him?
1023
00:27:49,734 --> 00:27:51,903
Oh. Yeah. Bob Smith.
1024
00:27:51,903 --> 00:27:54,873
Yeah. Bob Smith. Yeah.
1025
00:27:56,241 --> 00:27:59,177
Yeah.
1026
00:27:59,177 --> 00:28:00,612
He really did teach me everything I know.
1027
00:28:00,612 --> 00:28:01,279
I mean, I really
1028
00:28:01,279 --> 00:28:02,781
I would not be here today
1029
00:28:02,781 --> 00:28:04,049
if it wasn't if it really
1030
00:28:04,049 --> 00:28:05,850
if it wasn't for him,
1031
00:28:06,317 --> 00:28:06,651
you know,
1032
00:28:06,651 --> 00:28:07,952
I wasn't the easiest
1033
00:28:07,952 --> 00:28:10,288
to always deal with, but he.
1034
00:28:10,455 --> 00:28:11,656
He stuck with me and taught me
1035
00:28:11,656 --> 00:28:12,791
a lot, was patient with me
1036
00:28:12,791 --> 00:28:13,892
and let me learn a lot of things
1037
00:28:13,892 --> 00:28:14,926
on my own the hard way,
1038
00:28:14,926 --> 00:28:15,627
because that's the only way
1039
00:28:15,627 --> 00:28:17,228
that I do learn things.
1040
00:28:17,228 --> 00:28:18,596
He was patient with me,
1041
00:28:18,596 --> 00:28:19,931
so I got to give it to him for that.
1042
00:28:19,931 --> 00:28:21,099
And you know,
1043
00:28:21,099 --> 00:28:21,566
like I said,
1044
00:28:21,566 --> 00:28:22,200
I really, truly
1045
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,102
wouldn't be here without him.
1046
00:28:24,769 --> 00:28:26,304
Yeah. That's it.
1047
00:28:26,304 --> 00:28:27,272
That's him.
1048
00:28:27,272 --> 00:28:28,273
And I.
1049
00:28:28,273 --> 00:28:29,107
I met him down there,
1050
00:28:29,107 --> 00:28:30,675
I think, at the end of a
1051
00:28:30,675 --> 00:28:32,243
and super good guy, man.
1052
00:28:32,243 --> 00:28:33,011
And then you could tell,
1053
00:28:33,011 --> 00:28:34,112
I mean, he's damn proud of you,
1054
00:28:34,112 --> 00:28:34,679
which he should be.
1055
00:28:34,679 --> 00:28:36,081
You have really start
1056
00:28:36,081 --> 00:28:38,116
made a name for yourself.
1057
00:28:38,116 --> 00:28:39,050
Usually when they start with
1058
00:28:39,050 --> 00:28:40,318
Rob, we lose everybody.
1059
00:28:41,486 --> 00:28:43,388
You don't go much further than that.
1060
00:28:43,388 --> 00:28:45,056
But congrats on
1061
00:28:45,056 --> 00:28:47,192
and I'll tell you something else
1062
00:28:47,559 --> 00:28:50,395
having you around at any class, at any
1063
00:28:50,729 --> 00:28:52,163
any convention,
1064
00:28:52,163 --> 00:28:54,165
anywhere with you, you get a chance to
1065
00:28:54,532 --> 00:28:55,400
we get a chance to use
1066
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:56,401
your knowledge is always
1067
00:28:56,401 --> 00:28:59,370
a good thing, man, because you've done it
1068
00:28:59,370 --> 00:28:59,904
very well
1069
00:28:59,904 --> 00:29:02,073
and appreciate you're very analytical
1070
00:29:03,308 --> 00:29:05,543
and and which helps
1071
00:29:06,444 --> 00:29:07,912
you're accepting and affable
1072
00:29:07,912 --> 00:29:09,481
and affectionate and
1073
00:29:09,481 --> 00:29:11,382
agreeable and altruistic, in fact,
1074
00:29:11,382 --> 00:29:13,651
amendable and amiable, all those things.
1075
00:29:13,952 --> 00:29:15,487
And so we appreciate
1076
00:29:15,487 --> 00:29:17,122
you coming on the show.
1077
00:29:17,122 --> 00:29:17,756
Well, yeah, thanks.
1078
00:29:17,756 --> 00:29:19,591
I appreciate that. That means a lot.
1079
00:29:19,591 --> 00:29:20,191
Yeah.
1080
00:29:20,492 --> 00:29:21,493
Robbie, do me a favor
1081
00:29:21,493 --> 00:29:24,062
and give us your final thoughts
1082
00:29:24,062 --> 00:29:26,097
on those new diamond plates.
1083
00:29:26,097 --> 00:29:28,099
My final thought is do yourself a favor.
1084
00:29:28,767 --> 00:29:30,068
Go to your distributor.
1085
00:29:30,068 --> 00:29:32,370
Either pick up a set or order a set,
1086
00:29:32,370 --> 00:29:33,872
because when that free finished
1087
00:29:33,872 --> 00:29:35,940
refinish comes along, you'll be prepared.
1088
00:29:36,074 --> 00:29:37,976
And it won't be a nightmare for you.
1089
00:29:37,976 --> 00:29:39,344
It's going to be a real walk in the park.
1090
00:29:40,645 --> 00:29:42,614
So another tool for the truck.
1091
00:29:42,614 --> 00:29:43,581
That's right.
1092
00:29:43,581 --> 00:29:44,849
And how
1093
00:29:44,849 --> 00:29:46,317
these ones will pay for themselves
1094
00:29:46,317 --> 00:29:49,187
really quick in money and aggravation.
1095
00:29:49,187 --> 00:29:51,222
So thank you, Robbie.
1096
00:29:51,623 --> 00:29:52,457
All right.
1097
00:29:52,457 --> 00:29:53,658
Well, hey, listen,
1098
00:29:53,658 --> 00:29:54,692
there's been another episode
1099
00:29:54,692 --> 00:29:55,293
of On the Floor
1100
00:29:55,293 --> 00:29:57,328
with Wayne and Rob and Robbie.
1101
00:29:57,328 --> 00:30:07,038
Please do stay tuned for another episode.
