00:00:11,311 --> 00:00:12,679
Hello and welcome to another episode
2
00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:14,047
of On the Floor with Wayne and Rob.
3
00:00:14,047 --> 00:00:15,582
I'm Wayne Highland National Sales
4
00:00:15,582 --> 00:00:17,417
manager for Bonnie Adhesive.
5
00:00:17,417 --> 00:00:18,785
And I'm Rob Johnson,
6
00:00:18,785 --> 00:00:21,321
the king of Halloween.
7
00:00:21,321 --> 00:00:22,622
It's coming up.
8
00:00:22,622 --> 00:00:24,357
So your time up?
9
00:00:24,357 --> 00:00:26,659
you know, we love the Halloween.
10
00:00:26,659 --> 00:00:29,596
Well, you get a lot of visitors
11
00:00:29,596 --> 00:00:31,765
now. Now.
12
00:00:31,765 --> 00:00:32,532
Nice.
13
00:00:32,532 --> 00:00:34,367
No, I live out in the boondocks.
14
00:00:34,367 --> 00:00:34,734
Okay.
15
00:00:34,734 --> 00:00:37,737
I mean, we live out in the sticks, so,
16
00:00:37,971 --> 00:00:40,974
know we might get one or two or,
17
00:00:41,241 --> 00:00:41,474
you know,
18
00:00:41,474 --> 00:00:42,242
I think
19
00:00:42,242 --> 00:00:44,010
because of COVID and everything,
20
00:00:44,010 --> 00:00:45,645
we really haven't seen anybody.
21
00:00:45,645 --> 00:00:48,648
And, you know, couple of years.
22
00:00:48,748 --> 00:00:49,416
Okay.
23
00:00:49,416 --> 00:00:50,417
But, you know,
24
00:00:50,417 --> 00:00:51,851
I live on a country street.
25
00:00:51,851 --> 00:00:53,253
Like I said, you know,
26
00:00:53,253 --> 00:00:54,187
across the street from me
27
00:00:54,187 --> 00:00:55,221
is all cornfield.
28
00:00:55,221 --> 00:00:57,891
There's no house across the street.
29
00:00:57,891 --> 00:00:59,592
Cornfield in Buffalo.
30
00:00:59,592 --> 00:01:00,693
Did you bus your kids
31
00:01:00,693 --> 00:01:01,795
into other neighborhoods
32
00:01:02,796 --> 00:01:03,897
when they were young?
33
00:01:03,897 --> 00:01:06,900
No, I wouldn't say that We bused them
34
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:09,903
in to other neighborhoods,
35
00:01:10,103 --> 00:01:13,640
but we went to a buddy of mine set house,
36
00:01:13,673 --> 00:01:15,442
and he went around his neighborhood
37
00:01:15,442 --> 00:01:17,043
with three families.
38
00:01:17,043 --> 00:01:19,679
We get together every year
39
00:01:19,679 --> 00:01:21,714
and we do, you know, a big
40
00:01:21,714 --> 00:01:23,783
dinner and everything, you know,
41
00:01:23,783 --> 00:01:25,085
potluck type stuff.
42
00:01:25,085 --> 00:01:26,653
And then
43
00:01:26,653 --> 00:01:28,121
the husbands,
44
00:01:28,121 --> 00:01:28,721
the guys,
45
00:01:28,721 --> 00:01:29,823
we would take the kids out,
46
00:01:29,823 --> 00:01:30,423
trick or treat.
47
00:01:30,423 --> 00:01:32,358
And so it wasn't like
48
00:01:32,358 --> 00:01:34,160
we were going to that neighborhood
49
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:34,794
because,
50
00:01:34,794 --> 00:01:36,296
they're going to get good stuff here.
51
00:01:36,296 --> 00:01:37,831
It was just,
52
00:01:37,831 --> 00:01:39,599
you know, that kind of thing.
53
00:01:39,599 --> 00:01:42,602
Right.
54
00:01:45,004 --> 00:01:45,738
You did
55
00:01:45,738 --> 00:01:48,741
you bus into other neighborhoods.
56
00:01:50,076 --> 00:01:52,445
We always lived in no good neighborhoods
57
00:01:52,445 --> 00:01:55,448
with too far for us.
58
00:01:57,050 --> 00:01:59,119
It would have been too much to expect.
59
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:02,589
Sorry, we're not worthy of of of your
60
00:02:02,622 --> 00:02:03,790
your good food here.
61
00:02:03,790 --> 00:02:04,924
No, we never.
62
00:02:04,924 --> 00:02:06,126
We never hightailed it
63
00:02:06,126 --> 00:02:07,193
over to the good neighborhoods.
64
00:02:08,495 --> 00:02:09,095
It would have been
65
00:02:09,095 --> 00:02:11,598
it would have required a
66
00:02:11,598 --> 00:02:14,601
a drive, and that wasn't going to happen.
67
00:02:14,834 --> 00:02:15,668
Okay.
68
00:02:15,668 --> 00:02:17,170
So
69
00:02:17,170 --> 00:02:18,037
what,
70
00:02:18,037 --> 00:02:20,540
where at what age did you stop
71
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:21,941
trick or treating?
72
00:02:21,941 --> 00:02:23,643
my God. I can't believe you asked this.
73
00:02:23,643 --> 00:02:26,012
I went one year to waiting, man.
74
00:02:26,012 --> 00:02:29,015
And it is one of my big regrets in life.
75
00:02:29,649 --> 00:02:32,652
I went one year too many I.
76
00:02:33,753 --> 00:02:34,888
So what were you are.
77
00:02:34,888 --> 00:02:37,157
What are you in the eighth grade?
78
00:02:37,157 --> 00:02:38,258
I can't remember what
79
00:02:38,258 --> 00:02:40,293
it must have been like 14.
80
00:02:40,293 --> 00:02:42,095
And I thought, All right, I don't know.
81
00:02:42,095 --> 00:02:43,396
These people, this town, I'm new here.
82
00:02:43,396 --> 00:02:44,998
Right. So it's safe.
83
00:02:44,998 --> 00:02:48,968
So I dressed up to go out that last year
84
00:02:49,369 --> 00:02:51,838
in, you know, in the quest of chocolate.
85
00:02:51,838 --> 00:02:55,408
And I dressed up some goofy outfit
86
00:02:55,408 --> 00:02:56,843
or whatever, just some homemade whatever,
87
00:02:56,843 --> 00:02:58,478
just to get the chocolate, you know?
88
00:02:58,478 --> 00:03:00,813
And I knocked on the door
89
00:03:02,749 --> 00:03:03,349
and is the
90
00:03:03,349 --> 00:03:06,352
prettiest girl in our class is house.
91
00:03:07,253 --> 00:03:08,121
All right.
92
00:03:08,121 --> 00:03:09,455
You know what?
93
00:03:09,455 --> 00:03:11,925
I think I've heard this story before.
94
00:03:11,925 --> 00:03:14,227
I think I have.
95
00:03:14,227 --> 00:03:16,029
She was handing the candy
96
00:03:16,029 --> 00:03:17,764
out to the kids.
97
00:03:17,764 --> 00:03:19,966
I was mortified.
98
00:03:19,966 --> 00:03:22,769
I mean, I was absolutely mortified.
99
00:03:22,769 --> 00:03:24,037
Did she know it was you?
100
00:03:24,037 --> 00:03:26,372
Of course. Immediately.
101
00:03:26,372 --> 00:03:28,942
You know, I couldn't disguise all these.
102
00:03:28,942 --> 00:03:31,477
And so that was I was bad, bad, bad.
103
00:03:31,477 --> 00:03:31,711
Well,
104
00:03:31,711 --> 00:03:34,714
you know, girls mature before guys, so.
105
00:03:35,815 --> 00:03:37,116
It's no help, Rob.
106
00:03:37,116 --> 00:03:38,551
So there's no help.
107
00:03:38,551 --> 00:03:39,953
But I was trying to throw a.
108
00:03:39,953 --> 00:03:41,020
Knife at dejected.
109
00:03:41,020 --> 00:03:43,556
Yeah, but, Yeah, so.
110
00:03:43,556 --> 00:03:46,059
Yeah.
111
00:03:46,059 --> 00:03:48,695
All right.
112
00:03:48,695 --> 00:03:51,664
I stopped when I was a freshman.
113
00:03:51,798 --> 00:03:53,666
Freshman in high school,
114
00:03:53,666 --> 00:03:56,436
and that was probably like you.
115
00:03:56,436 --> 00:03:58,004
That was.
116
00:03:58,004 --> 00:03:59,639
That was a little too late.
117
00:03:59,639 --> 00:04:01,174
Clearly. When?
118
00:04:01,174 --> 00:04:03,343
Yeah, in your freshman in high school.
119
00:04:03,343 --> 00:04:06,312
That probably. Yeah.
120
00:04:06,312 --> 00:04:07,113
Yeah,
121
00:04:07,113 --> 00:04:08,748
You can say, I'm at school
122
00:04:08,748 --> 00:04:11,417
and I was out throwing eggs and.
123
00:04:11,417 --> 00:04:12,285
Yeah.
124
00:04:12,285 --> 00:04:13,286
You know, being a hoodlum
125
00:04:13,286 --> 00:04:14,153
and everything but
126
00:04:15,154 --> 00:04:15,455
you know,
127
00:04:15,455 --> 00:04:17,323
still came home with the sack candy too.
128
00:04:17,323 --> 00:04:19,459
So freshman in high school,
129
00:04:19,459 --> 00:04:21,628
way too old to be out there.
130
00:04:21,628 --> 00:04:23,463
Yeah. Thank you.
131
00:04:23,463 --> 00:04:24,330
And and then, like,
132
00:04:24,330 --> 00:04:26,633
when they get the doorbell knocked and.
133
00:04:26,633 --> 00:04:28,101
And if some kid is down,
134
00:04:28,101 --> 00:04:28,901
you're got a beard
135
00:04:28,901 --> 00:04:29,969
and he just got his hand out,
136
00:04:29,969 --> 00:04:31,037
and he's really getting the whole outfit
137
00:04:31,037 --> 00:04:34,040
on, really doing a good job.
138
00:04:36,009 --> 00:04:36,476
You know what I mean?
139
00:04:36,476 --> 00:04:37,877
There's 8 million jobs out there
140
00:04:37,877 --> 00:04:38,745
right now. You're here.
141
00:04:38,745 --> 00:04:39,779
Trick or treating.
142
00:04:39,779 --> 00:04:42,215
Go, go get a job.
143
00:04:42,215 --> 00:04:43,483
Okay.
144
00:04:43,483 --> 00:04:43,816
All right.
145
00:04:43,816 --> 00:04:46,286
Today show about. Way.
146
00:04:46,286 --> 00:04:48,388
If if this guy hadn't done
147
00:04:48,388 --> 00:04:50,156
what we're going to say next,
148
00:04:50,156 --> 00:04:51,157
he wouldn't have been trick
149
00:04:51,157 --> 00:04:52,392
or treating at 14 years old
150
00:04:52,392 --> 00:04:53,593
with his hand out,
151
00:04:53,593 --> 00:04:54,627
you would have already developed
152
00:04:54,627 --> 00:04:55,762
good habits
153
00:04:55,762 --> 00:04:56,696
where you could have started
154
00:04:56,696 --> 00:04:57,897
making some headway in life.
155
00:04:59,165 --> 00:05:00,867
So that's what today's show is about.
156
00:05:00,867 --> 00:05:01,668
Habits.
157
00:05:01,668 --> 00:05:03,436
We talked about the
158
00:05:03,436 --> 00:05:05,038
annoying habits of coworkers,
159
00:05:05,038 --> 00:05:05,872
but now we're going to talk
160
00:05:05,872 --> 00:05:07,040
about habits in general
161
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,308
and how they affect your life
162
00:05:08,308 --> 00:05:09,776
and how to how to have good habits
163
00:05:09,776 --> 00:05:11,611
and how important good habits are.
164
00:05:11,611 --> 00:05:14,447
And I'm going to tell you something.
165
00:05:14,447 --> 00:05:15,682
A lot of people
166
00:05:15,682 --> 00:05:17,583
how do people in this industry,
167
00:05:17,583 --> 00:05:19,085
I'll tell you, Rob,
168
00:05:19,085 --> 00:05:20,353
the role of a father
169
00:05:20,353 --> 00:05:21,421
is so important in life.
170
00:05:21,421 --> 00:05:23,189
And I've learned good habits.
171
00:05:23,189 --> 00:05:23,823
When you're young.
172
00:05:23,823 --> 00:05:25,391
Because I was thinking about this,
173
00:05:25,391 --> 00:05:27,126
we started doing the show.
174
00:05:27,126 --> 00:05:29,062
What if you had lousy habits from the
175
00:05:29,062 --> 00:05:31,097
from the very beginning
176
00:05:31,097 --> 00:05:33,066
and you were never taught good habits
177
00:05:33,066 --> 00:05:35,134
and you went through this whole life
178
00:05:35,134 --> 00:05:36,669
knowing that a few adjustment,
179
00:05:36,669 --> 00:05:38,504
not knowing that a few adjustments here
180
00:05:38,504 --> 00:05:39,739
or there or a few things
181
00:05:39,739 --> 00:05:41,407
you did differently
182
00:05:41,407 --> 00:05:41,808
could have made
183
00:05:41,808 --> 00:05:43,176
all the difference in the world.
184
00:05:43,176 --> 00:05:45,345
And so many things
185
00:05:45,345 --> 00:05:46,746
all come down to habits,
186
00:05:47,814 --> 00:05:48,581
right?
187
00:05:48,581 --> 00:05:49,349
Yes.
188
00:05:49,349 --> 00:05:50,583
The most important habit
189
00:05:50,583 --> 00:05:52,385
you can have as a young man
190
00:05:52,385 --> 00:05:55,321
is make your bed every day.
191
00:05:55,321 --> 00:05:58,324
Ask me how many times I made my bed.
192
00:05:58,524 --> 00:06:00,960
How many times have you made your bed?
193
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,562
Never.
194
00:06:02,562 --> 00:06:04,731
But
195
00:06:04,731 --> 00:06:05,898
I started thinking about that.
196
00:06:05,898 --> 00:06:08,334
Now. That would have been a good habit.
197
00:06:08,334 --> 00:06:09,268
You know what I mean?
198
00:06:09,268 --> 00:06:10,570
And in the military,
199
00:06:10,570 --> 00:06:11,771
they teach you how to make your bed
200
00:06:11,771 --> 00:06:14,340
because if you do nothing else in life,
201
00:06:14,340 --> 00:06:15,508
if you just get up every day
202
00:06:15,508 --> 00:06:16,809
and made your bed, you did.
203
00:06:16,809 --> 00:06:18,678
You've you've accomplished something.
204
00:06:18,678 --> 00:06:19,345
Right.
205
00:06:19,345 --> 00:06:21,214
So I'm going to read you
206
00:06:21,214 --> 00:06:21,948
just this one
207
00:06:21,948 --> 00:06:23,616
little thing from this book.
208
00:06:23,616 --> 00:06:26,619
This book is called Atomic Habits, Right?
209
00:06:27,553 --> 00:06:30,556
It's by James Clear.
210
00:06:30,723 --> 00:06:32,291
I'm just going to read this one short
211
00:06:32,291 --> 00:06:32,825
paragraph.
212
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,361
If you can get 1% better
213
00:06:35,361 --> 00:06:36,863
each day for one year,
214
00:06:36,863 --> 00:06:39,565
you'll end up 37 times better for the
215
00:06:39,565 --> 00:06:41,401
by the time you're done.
216
00:06:41,401 --> 00:06:43,669
Conversely, if you get 1% worse
217
00:06:43,669 --> 00:06:44,704
each day for one year,
218
00:06:44,704 --> 00:06:47,707
you'll decline nearly down to zero.
219
00:06:47,774 --> 00:06:49,208
What started as a smaller minor
220
00:06:49,208 --> 00:06:50,209
with a small setback
221
00:06:50,209 --> 00:06:52,745
accumulation is something much more
222
00:06:52,745 --> 00:06:53,246
so.
223
00:06:53,246 --> 00:06:54,580
I mean, it's like
224
00:06:54,580 --> 00:06:55,815
compound interest,
225
00:06:55,815 --> 00:06:58,050
you know, when your money in the bank
226
00:06:58,050 --> 00:06:59,719
bye bye
227
00:06:59,719 --> 00:07:00,219
And here's
228
00:07:00,219 --> 00:07:01,154
here's a thing that we do
229
00:07:01,154 --> 00:07:02,121
in America to ourselves.
230
00:07:02,121 --> 00:07:04,724
I mean, this is
231
00:07:04,724 --> 00:07:07,727
something that I think sets us back.
232
00:07:08,094 --> 00:07:10,630
We reach to high nobody.
233
00:07:10,630 --> 00:07:13,633
And I'll give you a great example.
234
00:07:13,933 --> 00:07:15,368
I remember when I was
235
00:07:15,368 --> 00:07:18,137
What did you say we reached too high.
236
00:07:18,137 --> 00:07:20,239
Yes. We set the bar too high.
237
00:07:20,239 --> 00:07:22,341
Yes, way too high. So you want to
238
00:07:23,676 --> 00:07:25,812
lower the bar, you know.
239
00:07:25,812 --> 00:07:26,312
Okay.
240
00:07:26,312 --> 00:07:27,213
Weightlifters.
241
00:07:27,213 --> 00:07:28,714
Years ago, bodybuilders met,
242
00:07:28,714 --> 00:07:30,616
you know, strongman in the circus.
243
00:07:30,616 --> 00:07:33,186
There was very, very few of those.
244
00:07:33,186 --> 00:07:34,153
And the reason?
245
00:07:34,153 --> 00:07:35,555
Because those weights
246
00:07:35,555 --> 00:07:37,056
were so damn big and heavy to begin
247
00:07:37,056 --> 00:07:38,991
with, nobody could lift them.
248
00:07:38,991 --> 00:07:40,393
It wasn't until he started making
249
00:07:40,393 --> 00:07:42,562
two and a half pound weights, £5 weight,
250
00:07:42,562 --> 00:07:43,863
£10 weights
251
00:07:43,863 --> 00:07:45,064
that people got started
252
00:07:45,064 --> 00:07:46,132
getting more into bodybuilding
253
00:07:46,132 --> 00:07:48,201
and stuff and got stronger
254
00:07:48,201 --> 00:07:48,968
because you could make
255
00:07:48,968 --> 00:07:51,437
those small increments.
256
00:07:51,437 --> 00:07:52,972
When I when I was in high school,
257
00:07:52,972 --> 00:07:54,407
I was in great shape. Right.
258
00:07:54,407 --> 00:07:56,008
You see that in me.
259
00:07:56,008 --> 00:07:59,011
So when I, when I was a joke with you,
260
00:07:59,045 --> 00:08:00,746
you really see really.
261
00:08:00,746 --> 00:08:02,482
cool, cool.
262
00:08:02,482 --> 00:08:03,216
When I was in high school,
263
00:08:03,216 --> 00:08:04,317
I was in great shape
264
00:08:04,317 --> 00:08:05,918
about four years out of high school.
265
00:08:07,053 --> 00:08:08,721
Now I was working with old men.
266
00:08:08,721 --> 00:08:10,256
I'm not active anymore.
267
00:08:10,256 --> 00:08:11,891
I picked a bad habit of just eating
268
00:08:11,891 --> 00:08:13,726
whatever I want, coming home, watching TV
269
00:08:13,726 --> 00:08:15,094
or watching football.
270
00:08:15,094 --> 00:08:16,329
And that was an activity more.
271
00:08:16,329 --> 00:08:19,298
And I gained weight in like £25
272
00:08:19,298 --> 00:08:21,968
right out of high school.
273
00:08:21,968 --> 00:08:23,202
And one day I decided, I'm
274
00:08:23,202 --> 00:08:24,003
going to turn this around.
275
00:08:24,003 --> 00:08:24,837
I'm going to get in shape.
276
00:08:24,837 --> 00:08:26,205
And right down the road from
277
00:08:26,205 --> 00:08:26,539
my house
278
00:08:26,539 --> 00:08:28,007
was a massive hill,
279
00:08:28,007 --> 00:08:30,476
I mean, a huge, humongous hill.
280
00:08:30,476 --> 00:08:32,845
I went out of Boston sweat pants
281
00:08:32,845 --> 00:08:34,013
and I thought I would set the alarm
282
00:08:34,013 --> 00:08:35,081
at 5:00 every morning.
283
00:08:35,081 --> 00:08:35,515
I'm going to I'm
284
00:08:35,515 --> 00:08:36,616
going to run up the top of the hill
285
00:08:36,616 --> 00:08:37,583
every morning.
286
00:08:37,583 --> 00:08:39,051
All right. Get in shape.
287
00:08:39,051 --> 00:08:39,919
Can you hear the Rocky
288
00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:41,020
theme song right now?
289
00:08:41,020 --> 00:08:41,854
I can't.
290
00:08:41,854 --> 00:08:42,288
The Rocky
291
00:08:42,288 --> 00:08:43,055
theme song is going to
292
00:08:43,055 --> 00:08:44,490
come crashing down shortly.
293
00:08:46,225 --> 00:08:47,093
On day one,
294
00:08:47,093 --> 00:08:49,095
I made it a third of the way out
295
00:08:49,095 --> 00:08:50,129
and I had a cramp
296
00:08:50,129 --> 00:08:50,830
and everything was hurting.
297
00:08:50,830 --> 00:08:52,131
I was out of breath.
298
00:08:52,131 --> 00:08:52,865
I was tired.
299
00:08:52,865 --> 00:08:53,432
I turned around,
300
00:08:53,432 --> 00:08:54,000
I went home
301
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:54,734
and I got my truck
302
00:08:54,734 --> 00:08:57,537
and I slept for about an hour and a half.
303
00:08:57,537 --> 00:08:59,672
The expectations were too high.
304
00:08:59,672 --> 00:09:01,541
Those small incremental changes,
305
00:09:01,541 --> 00:09:03,042
I think are huge,
306
00:09:03,042 --> 00:09:05,011
but habits are so important.
307
00:09:05,011 --> 00:09:07,446
So and to this day, I reason I have
308
00:09:07,446 --> 00:09:07,980
this book
309
00:09:07,980 --> 00:09:09,448
is because I
310
00:09:09,448 --> 00:09:10,583
realized that
311
00:09:10,583 --> 00:09:11,684
in our careers,
312
00:09:11,684 --> 00:09:14,086
how habits become so important
313
00:09:14,086 --> 00:09:15,421
to everything that we do
314
00:09:15,421 --> 00:09:16,556
and creating good habits
315
00:09:16,556 --> 00:09:17,990
so right to make these choices.
316
00:09:17,990 --> 00:09:19,091
And it's just
317
00:09:19,091 --> 00:09:20,059
it's just
318
00:09:20,059 --> 00:09:21,994
something seems very meaningless,
319
00:09:21,994 --> 00:09:23,563
but over time
320
00:09:23,563 --> 00:09:25,865
amounts to a tremendous amount.
321
00:09:25,865 --> 00:09:27,400
So.
322
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:28,668
Well, I think we'll talk about that.
323
00:09:30,102 --> 00:09:32,505
I can still hear the Rocky theme.
324
00:09:32,505 --> 00:09:34,106
Really? Yeah.
325
00:09:34,106 --> 00:09:35,308
I mean,
326
00:09:35,308 --> 00:09:36,976
he didn't get up to the stairs
327
00:09:36,976 --> 00:09:38,177
the very first time member.
328
00:09:38,177 --> 00:09:39,879
He could barely make it up.
329
00:09:39,879 --> 00:09:41,047
I don't remember that part.
330
00:09:41,047 --> 00:09:41,814
Yeah.
331
00:09:41,814 --> 00:09:42,782
The first time,
332
00:09:42,782 --> 00:09:43,849
his very first day
333
00:09:43,849 --> 00:09:45,918
when he drinks the eggs.
334
00:09:45,918 --> 00:09:48,220
Okay, I'm going out and training.
335
00:09:48,220 --> 00:09:50,089
He can't remember that part.
336
00:09:50,089 --> 00:09:51,524
No, I just made him get to the top
337
00:09:51,524 --> 00:09:52,558
and he'll be dancing.
338
00:09:52,558 --> 00:09:55,261
Yeah, That didn't happen for months
339
00:09:55,261 --> 00:09:55,761
and months.
340
00:09:55,761 --> 00:09:57,430
His first time up the hill. He's old.
341
00:09:57,430 --> 00:09:58,230
And this side,
342
00:09:58,230 --> 00:09:59,966
he could barely get up there.
343
00:09:59,966 --> 00:10:01,400
If you gave me the speech.
344
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:02,768
After I did that, Jill,
345
00:10:02,768 --> 00:10:04,937
I probably went another day.
346
00:10:04,937 --> 00:10:05,805
There you go.
347
00:10:05,805 --> 00:10:07,740
You know, you didn't go back to the hill.
348
00:10:07,740 --> 00:10:08,574
That was it.
349
00:10:08,574 --> 00:10:10,743
That was it one time.
350
00:10:10,743 --> 00:10:12,311
But I did look in that sweatsuit.
351
00:10:13,813 --> 00:10:16,349
I did rocky sweatsuits for quite a while.
352
00:10:16,349 --> 00:10:18,117
Yeah.
353
00:10:18,117 --> 00:10:19,018
All right.
354
00:10:19,018 --> 00:10:20,019
So you want,
355
00:10:20,019 --> 00:10:21,253
don't you told me about some habits
356
00:10:21,253 --> 00:10:22,254
you have over that.
357
00:10:22,254 --> 00:10:24,423
What your thoughts here?
358
00:10:24,423 --> 00:10:24,690
Well,
359
00:10:24,690 --> 00:10:26,525
I thought we were going to go with habits
360
00:10:26,525 --> 00:10:29,195
of saying the flaws in stone.
361
00:10:29,195 --> 00:10:30,963
Flaws? I think. They are. We are.
362
00:10:30,963 --> 00:10:32,932
I didn't think this was a.
363
00:10:32,932 --> 00:10:34,533
Well, we are, but.
364
00:10:34,533 --> 00:10:36,135
I personal stuff.
365
00:10:36,135 --> 00:10:37,536
This was a teachable moment.
366
00:10:37,536 --> 00:10:38,971
I thought,
367
00:10:38,971 --> 00:10:40,272
and generally, like,
368
00:10:40,272 --> 00:10:40,873
you know, there's some
369
00:10:40,873 --> 00:10:42,074
there might be some apprentices
370
00:10:42,074 --> 00:10:42,908
of this industry,
371
00:10:42,908 --> 00:10:44,176
young people starting out
372
00:10:44,176 --> 00:10:45,344
and didn't have a father figure
373
00:10:45,344 --> 00:10:48,347
that I could be their father figure,
374
00:10:49,215 --> 00:10:50,783
although that's a lot of responsibility.
375
00:10:50,783 --> 00:10:51,984
So I don't know.
376
00:10:51,984 --> 00:10:53,552
The father of Flor Santi.
377
00:10:53,552 --> 00:10:54,854
I can see it now.
378
00:10:54,854 --> 00:10:57,590
Well, yes.
379
00:10:57,590 --> 00:10:58,758
All right. So good him.
380
00:10:58,758 --> 00:10:59,525
With the animals.
381
00:10:59,525 --> 00:11:01,360
I don't know about people, though.
382
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,462
Yeah, yeah, true.
383
00:11:03,462 --> 00:11:04,296
Because I would get annoyed
384
00:11:04,296 --> 00:11:05,231
if you didn't have good habits.
385
00:11:05,231 --> 00:11:06,298
You came to me as a young guy.
386
00:11:06,298 --> 00:11:07,900
Probably be annoyed.
387
00:11:09,035 --> 00:11:09,301
Yeah.
388
00:11:09,301 --> 00:11:12,304
So you all right?
389
00:11:12,538 --> 00:11:15,541
I'll tell you
390
00:11:16,242 --> 00:11:17,943
a habit that I.
391
00:11:17,943 --> 00:11:19,211
That and I,
392
00:11:19,211 --> 00:11:19,512
you know,
393
00:11:19,512 --> 00:11:21,080
you talk about this fairly often
394
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,315
and how important it is.
395
00:11:23,315 --> 00:11:25,151
You've got to respect that bag
396
00:11:25,151 --> 00:11:27,086
in that standard.
397
00:11:27,086 --> 00:11:28,921
You've got to, even when you go to lunch,
398
00:11:28,921 --> 00:11:29,789
get in the habit of
399
00:11:29,789 --> 00:11:31,023
of taking it outside
400
00:11:31,023 --> 00:11:32,224
and taking care of it
401
00:11:32,224 --> 00:11:33,426
and don't even trusted
402
00:11:33,426 --> 00:11:35,294
by the time you go to lunch
403
00:11:35,294 --> 00:11:38,631
and even that that that maybe
404
00:11:38,898 --> 00:11:40,366
30 minutes or 45 minutes,
405
00:11:40,366 --> 00:11:42,601
it could creep into an hour
406
00:11:42,601 --> 00:11:45,204
that this bag is a scary animal.
407
00:11:45,204 --> 00:11:48,207
It doesn't take much.
408
00:11:48,307 --> 00:11:48,808
I think of
409
00:11:48,808 --> 00:11:50,176
that thing is like a mountain lion
410
00:11:50,176 --> 00:11:51,143
sitting there.
411
00:11:51,143 --> 00:11:52,378
They could turn on you
412
00:11:52,378 --> 00:11:52,845
if you
413
00:11:52,845 --> 00:11:55,114
if you if you take it for granted
414
00:11:55,114 --> 00:11:57,049
and take it for granted. Jacob Granted.
415
00:11:57,049 --> 00:11:58,684
gosh. We show up
416
00:11:59,885 --> 00:12:01,087
to work at 8:00 in the morning.
417
00:12:01,087 --> 00:12:01,954
We realize, shoot,
418
00:12:01,954 --> 00:12:03,723
we've got to get the dust bags out.
419
00:12:03,723 --> 00:12:06,726
It can happen and it can't happen.
420
00:12:07,293 --> 00:12:08,494
There's too much on the line.
421
00:12:08,494 --> 00:12:09,161
And that's a habit
422
00:12:09,161 --> 00:12:12,164
that I think is an absolute must.
423
00:12:12,364 --> 00:12:13,933
Well, if that's where we're going,
424
00:12:13,933 --> 00:12:16,936
a mine would be stain rags.
425
00:12:17,269 --> 00:12:18,037
What the hell you can give.
426
00:12:18,037 --> 00:12:19,338
That's where you're going.
427
00:12:19,338 --> 00:12:20,973
I was off into worldly events
428
00:12:20,973 --> 00:12:21,507
and you'd brought them
429
00:12:21,507 --> 00:12:22,908
back in the zany things.
430
00:12:22,908 --> 00:12:25,311
I'm glad we're going there. That's good.
431
00:12:25,311 --> 00:12:25,945
Okay.
432
00:12:25,945 --> 00:12:27,747
I really have nothing on worldly
433
00:12:27,747 --> 00:12:29,915
stuff, just bad habits.
434
00:12:29,915 --> 00:12:31,550
But it's a
435
00:12:31,550 --> 00:12:34,053
I like doing floor sanding habits.
436
00:12:34,053 --> 00:12:35,254
Okay, good.
437
00:12:35,254 --> 00:12:36,355
That's where my list is.
438
00:12:36,355 --> 00:12:37,823
That's where I made my list.
439
00:12:37,823 --> 00:12:38,324
All right.
440
00:12:38,324 --> 00:12:40,226
And stain rags. That's what I like.
441
00:12:40,226 --> 00:12:41,060
You were talking about.
442
00:12:41,060 --> 00:12:42,728
Does the dust bags.
443
00:12:44,363 --> 00:12:45,397
My habit was
444
00:12:45,397 --> 00:12:48,367
I had dust bags further down, up
445
00:12:48,367 --> 00:12:50,302
really close to the top of my list
446
00:12:50,302 --> 00:12:52,438
was stain rags.
447
00:12:52,438 --> 00:12:54,473
Yeah, All hands on deck.
448
00:12:54,473 --> 00:12:55,541
When you're done staying in,
449
00:12:55,541 --> 00:12:56,442
you have to know where
450
00:12:56,442 --> 00:12:58,744
every stain rag is.
451
00:12:58,744 --> 00:12:59,912
Do yourself a favor.
452
00:12:59,912 --> 00:13:02,381
Get a plastic bucket, five gallon bucket,
453
00:13:02,381 --> 00:13:04,316
a couple of gallons of water.
454
00:13:04,316 --> 00:13:07,153
Everything goes into the water,
455
00:13:07,153 --> 00:13:08,254
carpet pad, stain,
456
00:13:08,254 --> 00:13:10,656
rags, whatever you're using, everything.
457
00:13:10,656 --> 00:13:13,659
Go to the water. Yep.
458
00:13:13,926 --> 00:13:16,195
And shame on me because I said dust bags
459
00:13:16,195 --> 00:13:17,062
from the big machine.
460
00:13:17,062 --> 00:13:19,198
But it's also add your bags.
461
00:13:19,198 --> 00:13:21,367
And maybe even more important,
462
00:13:21,367 --> 00:13:23,869
anything is the the vacuum cleaner bags.
463
00:13:23,869 --> 00:13:25,704
Backpack vac bags. Yep.
464
00:13:25,704 --> 00:13:27,006
That was on.
465
00:13:27,006 --> 00:13:28,541
I was right under stain rag.
466
00:13:28,541 --> 00:13:31,110
I'm going to gross that one off. Yeah.
467
00:13:31,110 --> 00:13:33,512
Speaking of stain rags and stains.
468
00:13:33,512 --> 00:13:35,181
Well, we're in this train every day.
469
00:13:35,181 --> 00:13:36,382
We're working with stains
470
00:13:36,382 --> 00:13:37,516
every single day.
471
00:13:37,516 --> 00:13:38,384
You're almost immune
472
00:13:38,384 --> 00:13:39,652
to the smell anymore, right?
473
00:13:39,652 --> 00:13:40,419
I mean, customers will.
474
00:13:40,419 --> 00:13:42,254
Come on, we go. my God, I smell so bad.
475
00:13:42,254 --> 00:13:42,521
You're like.
476
00:13:44,023 --> 00:13:45,658
What?
477
00:13:45,658 --> 00:13:47,560
But I don't know if I told you or not,
478
00:13:47,560 --> 00:13:48,994
but next door to me,
479
00:13:48,994 --> 00:13:50,863
somebody is working on the floors.
480
00:13:50,863 --> 00:13:51,430
I love it.
481
00:13:51,430 --> 00:13:52,865
And I'm like a kid in a candy store.
482
00:13:52,865 --> 00:13:53,899
I don't know who they are.
483
00:13:53,899 --> 00:13:55,868
They're older. It's an older guy.
484
00:13:55,868 --> 00:13:58,470
It is as a kid as I got to know them.
485
00:13:58,470 --> 00:14:01,473
But they stay in the floor today.
486
00:14:01,740 --> 00:14:03,843
And from the back of my house,
487
00:14:03,843 --> 00:14:04,977
from the very back of my yard,
488
00:14:04,977 --> 00:14:07,413
I can smell the stain.
489
00:14:07,413 --> 00:14:07,613
Now.
490
00:14:07,613 --> 00:14:10,416
I'm a long ways away from them,
491
00:14:10,416 --> 00:14:11,517
but that tells you those
492
00:14:11,517 --> 00:14:12,218
these chemicals
493
00:14:12,218 --> 00:14:13,385
that we're using that we take
494
00:14:13,385 --> 00:14:15,688
for granted that we smell all the time,
495
00:14:15,688 --> 00:14:17,590
I mean, that's
496
00:14:17,590 --> 00:14:19,325
working around some serious stuff.
497
00:14:19,325 --> 00:14:22,228
So all it takes is we know, as you said,
498
00:14:22,228 --> 00:14:23,762
as many times as it takes
499
00:14:23,762 --> 00:14:25,731
once they rag one time.
500
00:14:25,731 --> 00:14:29,134
So I think sometimes the first step
501
00:14:29,134 --> 00:14:30,569
in the good habits
502
00:14:30,569 --> 00:14:32,605
is like I would leave myself
503
00:14:34,206 --> 00:14:35,507
a note every day on my
504
00:14:35,507 --> 00:14:36,809
on my driver's seat,
505
00:14:36,809 --> 00:14:37,943
like things
506
00:14:37,943 --> 00:14:39,245
I'm going to need for the job tomorrow.
507
00:14:39,245 --> 00:14:40,179
I don't want to get.
508
00:14:40,179 --> 00:14:41,313
So I would put something out
509
00:14:41,313 --> 00:14:42,982
like put it on my driver's seat
510
00:14:42,982 --> 00:14:43,716
so I can't get
511
00:14:43,716 --> 00:14:45,251
or I'll put it with my car keys
512
00:14:45,251 --> 00:14:45,551
and no,
513
00:14:45,551 --> 00:14:47,553
I can't drive off without doing it.
514
00:14:47,553 --> 00:14:49,321
So then I make myself read the note.
515
00:14:49,321 --> 00:14:50,589
So that will help you
516
00:14:50,589 --> 00:14:52,758
get in the habit of doing these things.
517
00:14:52,758 --> 00:14:54,793
But all it takes is one thing.
518
00:14:54,793 --> 00:14:57,429
MAN one You missed one edge your bag.
519
00:14:57,429 --> 00:14:58,330
It got on fire.
520
00:14:58,330 --> 00:14:59,899
You missed one stain rag
521
00:14:59,899 --> 00:15:00,299
that could
522
00:15:00,299 --> 00:15:02,268
that could just destroy your career.
523
00:15:02,268 --> 00:15:04,403
So it's so important that we
524
00:15:04,403 --> 00:15:07,406
we keep that in mind with our habits.
525
00:15:07,873 --> 00:15:09,541
Now,
526
00:15:09,541 --> 00:15:10,776
your neighbor who was having
527
00:15:10,776 --> 00:15:12,311
their floor done. Yeah.
528
00:15:14,613 --> 00:15:16,382
Did they ask you to do it?
529
00:15:16,382 --> 00:15:18,784
It's funny, because
530
00:15:18,784 --> 00:15:19,952
the ladies, they were there.
531
00:15:19,952 --> 00:15:20,419
She's not.
532
00:15:20,419 --> 00:15:21,987
She's been remodeling his house for years
533
00:15:21,987 --> 00:15:23,188
and she doesn't live there.
534
00:15:23,188 --> 00:15:24,089
I don't
535
00:15:24,089 --> 00:15:24,490
I don't even,
536
00:15:24,490 --> 00:15:25,891
I think think about a Alina.
537
00:15:25,891 --> 00:15:27,092
But my duty was the
538
00:15:27,092 --> 00:15:27,993
all the neighbor was there today.
539
00:15:27,993 --> 00:15:28,794
She knows her car.
540
00:15:28,794 --> 00:15:30,029
She stopped for a few days before,
541
00:15:30,029 --> 00:15:30,996
but I don't know her.
542
00:15:30,996 --> 00:15:31,697
I did tell her.
543
00:15:31,697 --> 00:15:32,364
I did. I did.
544
00:15:32,364 --> 00:15:33,399
Because back in the day,
545
00:15:33,399 --> 00:15:34,967
I don't do this anymore.
546
00:15:34,967 --> 00:15:36,802
So she didn't ask me.
547
00:15:36,802 --> 00:15:39,305
I involved your information.
548
00:15:39,305 --> 00:15:40,339
You know, obviously, I didn't
549
00:15:40,339 --> 00:15:42,308
I don't do say jobs.
550
00:15:42,308 --> 00:15:43,776
So. Yeah.
551
00:15:43,776 --> 00:15:45,110
So I don't.
552
00:15:45,110 --> 00:15:48,113
Is it because the reason I ask
553
00:15:48,914 --> 00:15:50,349
I remember
554
00:15:50,349 --> 00:15:53,352
a neighbor that I knew
555
00:15:53,585 --> 00:15:56,522
a who's maybe three doors down from me.
556
00:15:56,522 --> 00:15:57,856
I even though I live in the sticks
557
00:15:57,856 --> 00:15:58,924
to one side of the street,
558
00:15:58,924 --> 00:15:59,758
is just normal.
559
00:15:59,758 --> 00:16:01,393
On the other side there's not.
560
00:16:01,393 --> 00:16:02,661
Yeah.
561
00:16:02,661 --> 00:16:04,163
And three doors down.
562
00:16:04,163 --> 00:16:06,198
Now I know everybody in the neighborhood
563
00:16:06,198 --> 00:16:07,232
knows what I do
564
00:16:07,232 --> 00:16:08,200
because I know what everybody
565
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:09,635
we all know what everybody does.
566
00:16:11,270 --> 00:16:13,439
And I'll never forget
567
00:16:13,439 --> 00:16:13,973
I pull
568
00:16:13,973 --> 00:16:14,807
out of the driveway,
569
00:16:14,807 --> 00:16:17,176
I'm driving to work and
570
00:16:17,176 --> 00:16:18,811
I see a competitor struck
571
00:16:18,811 --> 00:16:20,346
in that guy's driveway.
572
00:16:20,346 --> 00:16:20,713
Wow.
573
00:16:20,713 --> 00:16:22,448
And they're unloading the machines
574
00:16:22,448 --> 00:16:24,149
and they're in.
575
00:16:24,149 --> 00:16:26,785
And I was like, well, what the
576
00:16:26,785 --> 00:16:28,620
I mean, talk about.
577
00:16:28,620 --> 00:16:30,489
That's an insult. You're.
578
00:16:30,489 --> 00:16:31,724
Yeah, like,
579
00:16:31,724 --> 00:16:33,625
he didn't even give me a shot.
580
00:16:33,625 --> 00:16:33,993
Yeah.
581
00:16:33,993 --> 00:16:36,195
I thought, you know,
582
00:16:36,195 --> 00:16:38,764
I always wave to you when I drive by,
583
00:16:38,764 --> 00:16:40,866
you know,
584
00:16:40,866 --> 00:16:43,135
that frosted me.
585
00:16:43,135 --> 00:16:43,802
Good man.
586
00:16:43,802 --> 00:16:46,605
That was that. That that hurt.
587
00:16:46,605 --> 00:16:46,872
Yeah.
588
00:16:46,872 --> 00:16:48,173
I was kind of rooting against him
589
00:16:48,173 --> 00:16:49,475
on that one.
590
00:16:49,475 --> 00:16:51,043
I had that happen to me, too.
591
00:16:51,043 --> 00:16:52,711
About three doors down from me,
592
00:16:52,711 --> 00:16:54,413
they had another four guy do the thing,
593
00:16:54,413 --> 00:16:57,049
and I had same reaction. I was furious.
594
00:16:57,049 --> 00:16:59,418
Now I didn't want the job
595
00:16:59,418 --> 00:17:00,986
and I would have told the guy, no,
596
00:17:00,986 --> 00:17:02,688
I probably would turn it down
597
00:17:02,688 --> 00:17:03,889
because I don't want to come home
598
00:17:03,889 --> 00:17:04,223
every day.
599
00:17:04,223 --> 00:17:05,991
And I did it for your next door to me.
600
00:17:05,991 --> 00:17:06,759
You know what I mean?
601
00:17:06,759 --> 00:17:08,160
Well, I guess I don't want that.
602
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,030
But you should have asked me, right?
603
00:17:11,030 --> 00:17:11,830
Yeah, that's me.
604
00:17:11,830 --> 00:17:13,265
And then we could be friends still.
605
00:17:13,265 --> 00:17:14,566
But now we can't be friends.
606
00:17:14,566 --> 00:17:17,169
And now you're. You're. You're.
607
00:17:17,169 --> 00:17:18,670
You're an enemy now.
608
00:17:18,670 --> 00:17:20,873
You're definitely an enemy force.
609
00:17:20,873 --> 00:17:22,341
Absolutely.
610
00:17:22,341 --> 00:17:22,708
You know,
611
00:17:22,708 --> 00:17:24,243
when you said that you
612
00:17:24,243 --> 00:17:24,910
smelled the stain
613
00:17:24,910 --> 00:17:26,945
when you walked outside. Yeah.
614
00:17:26,945 --> 00:17:27,613
How many times
615
00:17:27,613 --> 00:17:30,616
have you been driving down the street or
616
00:17:31,016 --> 00:17:32,284
what? When I was in sport,
617
00:17:34,086 --> 00:17:35,254
Billy, we
618
00:17:35,254 --> 00:17:36,655
took a couple of contractors
619
00:17:36,655 --> 00:17:38,357
and we were in Boston
620
00:17:38,357 --> 00:17:40,659
and we're in downtown,
621
00:17:40,659 --> 00:17:43,662
downtown Boston.
622
00:17:43,729 --> 00:17:44,329
We're going to take
623
00:17:44,329 --> 00:17:45,731
these guys out to dinner.
624
00:17:45,731 --> 00:17:48,734
So we're at a park and we park just
625
00:17:48,967 --> 00:17:51,970
at an outdoor parking place.
626
00:17:52,571 --> 00:17:54,873
As soon as we get out of the car,
627
00:17:54,873 --> 00:17:57,843
we all heard manager
628
00:17:57,910 --> 00:17:59,011
and this edger
629
00:17:59,011 --> 00:18:00,679
was two blocks away
630
00:18:00,679 --> 00:18:03,148
and he was up five or six stories.
631
00:18:03,148 --> 00:18:04,883
Yeah, you could hear it.
632
00:18:04,883 --> 00:18:05,384
I mean,
633
00:18:05,384 --> 00:18:05,918
there is
634
00:18:05,918 --> 00:18:08,787
nothing like the sound of a sander
635
00:18:08,787 --> 00:18:10,589
for a floor guy because we were all we
636
00:18:10,589 --> 00:18:11,657
we look like little kids.
637
00:18:11,657 --> 00:18:12,991
Like, my God, look, It's up.
638
00:18:12,991 --> 00:18:13,592
There it is.
639
00:18:13,592 --> 00:18:16,095
It's up there. Right up there.
640
00:18:16,095 --> 00:18:17,329
And this is pretty far away.
641
00:18:17,329 --> 00:18:18,097
But man,
642
00:18:18,097 --> 00:18:19,298
there is just nothing
643
00:18:19,298 --> 00:18:21,200
like the wine of an edger
644
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:22,134
that,
645
00:18:22,134 --> 00:18:23,202
you know, just like you
646
00:18:23,202 --> 00:18:25,504
when you said you smelled stain. Yeah,
647
00:18:26,638 --> 00:18:27,106
you can,
648
00:18:27,106 --> 00:18:27,573
you can be
649
00:18:27,573 --> 00:18:28,841
driving down the road
650
00:18:28,841 --> 00:18:30,876
with your window down and hear
651
00:18:30,876 --> 00:18:31,844
you're a machine.
652
00:18:31,844 --> 00:18:34,146
Yeah, I guarantee.
653
00:18:34,146 --> 00:18:34,646
Yeah.
654
00:18:34,646 --> 00:18:36,348
Listen, I'll go one better than that.
655
00:18:36,348 --> 00:18:37,649
I was in Boston.
656
00:18:37,649 --> 00:18:39,585
I was on vacation with my cousin,
657
00:18:39,585 --> 00:18:41,987
walking down the sidewalk.
658
00:18:41,987 --> 00:18:42,955
I looked down,
659
00:18:42,955 --> 00:18:44,389
I look at a guy
660
00:18:44,389 --> 00:18:46,692
and I go, eight yard for poor guy.
661
00:18:46,692 --> 00:18:47,960
He goes, Yeah,
662
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:48,961
because he goes,
663
00:18:48,961 --> 00:18:50,562
How the hell did you know that?
664
00:18:50,562 --> 00:18:51,930
I look at the shoes, man,
665
00:18:51,930 --> 00:18:53,031
the stain on the boots.
666
00:18:53,031 --> 00:18:53,932
Nobody's down, Boots.
667
00:18:53,932 --> 00:18:56,301
You look at his knuckles, the poor guy.
668
00:18:56,301 --> 00:18:58,837
Another for me is and
669
00:18:58,837 --> 00:19:00,072
people say this all the time,
670
00:19:00,072 --> 00:19:02,674
but it is true for me is that if my
671
00:19:02,674 --> 00:19:03,642
if my sander wasn't
672
00:19:03,642 --> 00:19:04,810
standing before the wheels
673
00:19:04,810 --> 00:19:06,745
were that touching the ground,
674
00:19:06,745 --> 00:19:08,814
if I was transporting it to the job,
675
00:19:08,814 --> 00:19:10,849
if I went to lunch, if I,
676
00:19:10,849 --> 00:19:12,484
if the next day I
677
00:19:12,484 --> 00:19:13,385
the nail the wheels,
678
00:19:13,385 --> 00:19:14,253
they were sitting on the ground
679
00:19:14,253 --> 00:19:15,954
and that is the honest to God truth
680
00:19:15,954 --> 00:19:16,922
that I didn't know
681
00:19:16,922 --> 00:19:17,823
at the beginning of my career
682
00:19:17,823 --> 00:19:18,924
because I didn't know how important
683
00:19:18,924 --> 00:19:19,925
this was, as you know.
684
00:19:19,925 --> 00:19:20,893
But the more I learned
685
00:19:20,893 --> 00:19:22,494
and the more I got into
686
00:19:22,494 --> 00:19:23,695
the sanding aspect of it,
687
00:19:25,264 --> 00:19:25,764
that was where I was
688
00:19:25,764 --> 00:19:26,732
never touch the ground
689
00:19:26,732 --> 00:19:29,735
unless I'm standing.
690
00:19:30,602 --> 00:19:31,637
That's a good one.
691
00:19:31,637 --> 00:19:34,640
I should put that under my bad habits.
692
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:37,342
yeah, because, well,
693
00:19:37,342 --> 00:19:40,345
we got in bad habits because
694
00:19:40,679 --> 00:19:42,014
the wheels that we used to have
695
00:19:42,014 --> 00:19:43,182
were all steel.
696
00:19:43,182 --> 00:19:43,882
All the jobs
697
00:19:43,882 --> 00:19:45,484
we had were all steel wheels.
698
00:19:45,484 --> 00:19:47,686
So yeah, yeah.
699
00:19:47,686 --> 00:19:49,188
We used to just go up and down
700
00:19:49,188 --> 00:19:51,156
driveways, sidewalks and everything.
701
00:19:51,156 --> 00:19:52,891
And then when we got our first
702
00:19:52,891 --> 00:19:54,259
OC your pre type
703
00:19:54,259 --> 00:19:55,694
wheels, I was treating the wheels
704
00:19:55,694 --> 00:19:57,062
just like, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
705
00:19:57,062 --> 00:19:58,163
Now you don't got to carry it,
706
00:19:58,163 --> 00:19:58,764
you just roll
707
00:19:58,764 --> 00:20:00,899
It is like everything because
708
00:20:00,899 --> 00:20:02,134
remember the old steel wheels
709
00:20:02,134 --> 00:20:04,203
on everything. They were indestructible.
710
00:20:04,203 --> 00:20:04,937
Yeah.
711
00:20:04,937 --> 00:20:06,305
I mean, those wheels lasted
712
00:20:06,305 --> 00:20:07,806
longer than people.
713
00:20:07,806 --> 00:20:08,707
Speaking of wheels,
714
00:20:08,707 --> 00:20:10,275
and you're kind of going into this.
715
00:20:10,275 --> 00:20:11,643
Have you ever seen
716
00:20:11,643 --> 00:20:13,145
something get underneath a will?
717
00:20:13,145 --> 00:20:13,979
It leaves little pecker
718
00:20:13,979 --> 00:20:15,847
marks on the floor. yeah.
719
00:20:16,982 --> 00:20:19,618
indentations absolutely right.
720
00:20:19,618 --> 00:20:21,053
Doesn't take much.
721
00:20:21,053 --> 00:20:21,853
That's the other thing is
722
00:20:21,853 --> 00:20:23,121
I never wheeled my
723
00:20:23,121 --> 00:20:25,123
my machine into the job.
724
00:20:25,123 --> 00:20:26,525
I know. I know.
725
00:20:26,525 --> 00:20:28,227
A lot of guys say you're crazy.
726
00:20:28,227 --> 00:20:29,194
Whatever. It takes time, but.
727
00:20:29,194 --> 00:20:30,128
But I broke my machine down
728
00:20:30,128 --> 00:20:31,363
every time, and I carried it,
729
00:20:31,363 --> 00:20:32,898
you know, to the motor,
730
00:20:32,898 --> 00:20:34,466
it in the in the chassis
731
00:20:34,466 --> 00:20:35,367
and put it together.
732
00:20:35,367 --> 00:20:38,370
And I did check the wheels
733
00:20:39,037 --> 00:20:39,404
and.
734
00:20:39,404 --> 00:20:41,640
Okay, we're going to go to another one.
735
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:42,808
Sorry, because I'm, I'm
736
00:20:42,808 --> 00:20:43,942
probably taking a half years
737
00:20:43,942 --> 00:20:45,844
Rob, but I did blow the machine out
738
00:20:45,844 --> 00:20:47,679
after every job.
739
00:20:47,679 --> 00:20:49,348
Honestly,
740
00:20:49,348 --> 00:20:50,816
again, not in the beginning of my career.
741
00:20:50,816 --> 00:20:51,516
Certainly in the last
742
00:20:51,516 --> 00:20:53,819
ten years of my career, I blew it out.
743
00:20:53,819 --> 00:20:55,187
Compressor got under there
744
00:20:55,187 --> 00:20:56,555
and blew everything out all the time.
745
00:20:56,555 --> 00:20:58,023
Make sure was running right.
746
00:20:58,023 --> 00:20:58,490
So yeah,
747
00:20:58,490 --> 00:20:59,891
I think that's important to have to
748
00:20:59,891 --> 00:21:00,359
get into it.
749
00:21:01,860 --> 00:21:03,528
That's another one of my bad habits.
750
00:21:03,528 --> 00:21:05,564
I learned that one the hard way.
751
00:21:05,564 --> 00:21:07,199
Well, it wasn't that hard.
752
00:21:07,199 --> 00:21:08,166
All right, It wasn't.
753
00:21:08,166 --> 00:21:10,402
It wasn't that bad.
754
00:21:10,402 --> 00:21:12,371
I brought one of our belts.
755
00:21:12,371 --> 00:21:14,740
Sanders When we made the transition
756
00:21:14,740 --> 00:21:16,308
over to belt Sanders,
757
00:21:16,308 --> 00:21:17,676
I brought that in
758
00:21:17,676 --> 00:21:20,679
to have it serviced and service Guy
759
00:21:21,146 --> 00:21:22,481
pulls me aside
760
00:21:22,481 --> 00:21:23,749
when I get there, and he goes, Hey,
761
00:21:23,749 --> 00:21:25,550
I want to show you something.
762
00:21:25,550 --> 00:21:26,918
When I took your upper roller
763
00:21:26,918 --> 00:21:29,688
assembly out,
764
00:21:29,688 --> 00:21:32,691
he saved the dust.
765
00:21:33,292 --> 00:21:34,226
Okay?
766
00:21:34,226 --> 00:21:35,294
It was all dust,
767
00:21:35,294 --> 00:21:36,361
it was all charred,
768
00:21:36,361 --> 00:21:38,330
it was all black and everything.
769
00:21:38,330 --> 00:21:39,865
And he goes,
770
00:21:39,865 --> 00:21:40,999
This was
771
00:21:40,999 --> 00:21:43,268
this was coming out of your machine.
772
00:21:43,268 --> 00:21:43,568
You know?
773
00:21:43,568 --> 00:21:44,703
So all of this stuff
774
00:21:44,703 --> 00:21:46,104
was blowing in your bag.
775
00:21:46,104 --> 00:21:46,571
He goes,
776
00:21:46,571 --> 00:21:48,640
You got to blow these machines out
777
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,276
a lot more than you than you were doing.
778
00:21:51,276 --> 00:21:53,278
It was like, Well, I never blew them out.
779
00:21:54,613 --> 00:21:56,181
And when he showed me all that dust,
780
00:21:56,181 --> 00:21:57,649
I was like, holy.
781
00:21:57,649 --> 00:21:58,984
I mean, this stuff was, you know,
782
00:21:58,984 --> 00:22:01,253
it was all it was all burnished.
783
00:22:01,253 --> 00:22:02,220
And you know what I mean?
784
00:22:02,220 --> 00:22:03,588
You know, the dust I'm talking about.
785
00:22:03,588 --> 00:22:04,856
Yeah, Yeah.
786
00:22:04,856 --> 00:22:05,991
So, yeah,
787
00:22:05,991 --> 00:22:08,260
you got to be careful with that big time.
788
00:22:08,260 --> 00:22:09,294
So that's a good habit
789
00:22:09,294 --> 00:22:11,263
to get in, blow those machines out.
790
00:22:11,263 --> 00:22:13,699
Yeah.
791
00:22:13,699 --> 00:22:14,099
All right.
792
00:22:14,099 --> 00:22:16,768
You want to go yet? One of you? Yeah.
793
00:22:16,768 --> 00:22:18,870
One of my big habits was start
794
00:22:18,870 --> 00:22:20,339
with a drum. Finished with a drum.
795
00:22:20,339 --> 00:22:22,607
And it doesn't mean I'm right or wrong.
796
00:22:22,607 --> 00:22:24,276
You know, like,
797
00:22:24,276 --> 00:22:25,811
you talk to guys in the classes,
798
00:22:25,811 --> 00:22:26,445
in the schools,
799
00:22:26,445 --> 00:22:27,846
and some guys like to finish
800
00:22:27,846 --> 00:22:29,781
with the edge or some guys
801
00:22:29,781 --> 00:22:30,749
finish with the drum.
802
00:22:30,749 --> 00:22:32,617
But my thing was
803
00:22:32,617 --> 00:22:35,253
I used to get the drum going as fast as
804
00:22:35,253 --> 00:22:35,854
I could
805
00:22:36,788 --> 00:22:38,757
and do as much as I could with the drums.
806
00:22:38,757 --> 00:22:40,992
So the guy edge and
807
00:22:40,992 --> 00:22:42,994
doesn't have a lot to edge,
808
00:22:42,994 --> 00:22:45,297
you know, if I can make his job easier,
809
00:22:45,297 --> 00:22:46,865
he's got the toughest job on the crew.
810
00:22:46,865 --> 00:22:49,868
So I try and make his life easier
811
00:22:50,569 --> 00:22:51,536
and I like starting
812
00:22:51,536 --> 00:22:52,838
with the drum, getting, you know,
813
00:22:52,838 --> 00:22:53,939
try to get a room done
814
00:22:53,939 --> 00:22:55,307
before he set up and go.
815
00:22:55,307 --> 00:22:56,241
And so
816
00:22:56,241 --> 00:22:57,843
we used to get our machine going
817
00:22:57,843 --> 00:22:59,978
absolutely as fast as possible
818
00:22:59,978 --> 00:23:01,146
just for that.
819
00:23:01,146 --> 00:23:03,982
But the other thing too, is I always like
820
00:23:03,982 --> 00:23:07,386
finishing with the drum edge
821
00:23:07,619 --> 00:23:10,622
and then finish with the drum.
822
00:23:11,289 --> 00:23:11,957
I agree,
823
00:23:11,957 --> 00:23:14,126
but I think there's exceptions to that.
824
00:23:14,126 --> 00:23:15,794
And the one exception to me
825
00:23:15,794 --> 00:23:18,663
is on a parkgate floor or a pattern floor
826
00:23:20,065 --> 00:23:22,667
that excuse me, especially at
827
00:23:22,667 --> 00:23:23,668
this late in the diagonal,
828
00:23:23,668 --> 00:23:24,903
whatever is that
829
00:23:24,903 --> 00:23:27,105
I don't want that machine to baby lever
830
00:23:27,105 --> 00:23:29,007
have to go through half a block.
831
00:23:29,007 --> 00:23:30,609
You know what I mean?
832
00:23:30,609 --> 00:23:32,110
So I'd rather in that case
833
00:23:32,110 --> 00:23:34,312
I'd rather do my edging last.
834
00:23:34,312 --> 00:23:35,480
But, but for the most part
835
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:36,314
I do believe in it
836
00:23:36,314 --> 00:23:38,016
very, very, very much so.
837
00:23:38,016 --> 00:23:40,185
I know there's there's
838
00:23:40,185 --> 00:23:41,920
I think Lenny Hall,
839
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,488
I know he did back in the day.
840
00:23:43,488 --> 00:23:44,189
I would be curious
841
00:23:44,189 --> 00:23:46,024
to see if he still feels the same way
842
00:23:46,024 --> 00:23:48,693
that the edging should be done last.
843
00:23:48,693 --> 00:23:51,963
I know 100% sure he won't remember it.
844
00:23:51,963 --> 00:23:52,297
You know,
845
00:23:52,297 --> 00:23:55,500
we're in the we fake last year's shoot
846
00:23:55,634 --> 00:23:58,637
probably 20 years ago or more even.
847
00:23:58,737 --> 00:24:00,172
And that came up.
848
00:24:00,172 --> 00:24:01,940
So I think back in the day
849
00:24:01,940 --> 00:24:04,876
he used to recommend edging last.
850
00:24:04,876 --> 00:24:06,311
I know if he feels the same way
851
00:24:06,311 --> 00:24:07,712
I couldn't be wrong,
852
00:24:07,712 --> 00:24:09,147
but I think
853
00:24:09,147 --> 00:24:11,183
you always run the big machine last
854
00:24:11,183 --> 00:24:13,084
unless that one
855
00:24:13,084 --> 00:24:13,852
exception is
856
00:24:13,852 --> 00:24:15,654
if you're doing a parquet floor
857
00:24:15,654 --> 00:24:16,755
or herringbone floor
858
00:24:16,755 --> 00:24:17,789
or whatever that I don't want
859
00:24:17,789 --> 00:24:18,356
that machine
860
00:24:18,356 --> 00:24:19,424
that I couldn't do
861
00:24:19,424 --> 00:24:20,258
the middle of the block.
862
00:24:21,526 --> 00:24:23,995
So in that case I had last.
863
00:24:23,995 --> 00:24:25,730
Well, it hit, it hit
864
00:24:25,730 --> 00:24:28,400
Peter and I one day because I use it
865
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:29,434
never really mattered.
866
00:24:29,434 --> 00:24:30,368
I didn't think it mattered.
867
00:24:30,368 --> 00:24:32,704
And hey, whatever. Right.
868
00:24:32,704 --> 00:24:33,738
If we're edging Regin,
869
00:24:33,738 --> 00:24:34,973
if we're drumming, we're drumming,
870
00:24:34,973 --> 00:24:36,842
not a big deal.
871
00:24:36,842 --> 00:24:39,811
And we had done this,
872
00:24:39,811 --> 00:24:41,413
I don't know, probably
873
00:24:41,413 --> 00:24:43,849
doesn't rack up all courts.
874
00:24:43,849 --> 00:24:45,016
And I think I even told
875
00:24:45,016 --> 00:24:48,019
story on the show before and
876
00:24:48,620 --> 00:24:50,422
so we're sitting there having lunch
877
00:24:50,422 --> 00:24:51,323
and watching these guys
878
00:24:51,323 --> 00:24:52,057
playing racquetball.
879
00:24:52,057 --> 00:24:55,594
Now it's maybe for the courts
880
00:24:56,094 --> 00:24:58,330
where the glass on.
881
00:24:58,330 --> 00:24:58,797
Yeah,
882
00:24:58,797 --> 00:25:00,131
so you could watch guys play
883
00:25:00,131 --> 00:25:01,099
and then the others
884
00:25:01,099 --> 00:25:02,868
were all the enclosed, right?
885
00:25:02,868 --> 00:25:04,903
Remember the old racquetball court place?
886
00:25:04,903 --> 00:25:06,404
But what did you get out of
887
00:25:06,404 --> 00:25:08,373
watching the guys play?
888
00:25:08,373 --> 00:25:09,808
But okay,
889
00:25:09,808 --> 00:25:11,743
we were watching Girls Play Rec. Okay?
890
00:25:11,743 --> 00:25:14,346
I don't know. We were eating lunch.
891
00:25:14,346 --> 00:25:16,248
We were just hanging out, eating lunch.
892
00:25:16,248 --> 00:25:17,816
I'm not judging. I just asked.
893
00:25:17,816 --> 00:25:20,151
It does sound like I'm being judged here.
894
00:25:20,151 --> 00:25:21,453
No, I'm sorry.
895
00:25:21,453 --> 00:25:21,820
Okay,
896
00:25:21,820 --> 00:25:23,355
so you're looking through the glass.
897
00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:23,688
So we're.
898
00:25:23,688 --> 00:25:24,856
We're looking through the glass.
899
00:25:24,856 --> 00:25:26,291
And the other thing was,
900
00:25:27,492 --> 00:25:28,393
you know, we had just
901
00:25:28,393 --> 00:25:29,794
finished this one and,
902
00:25:29,794 --> 00:25:31,229
you know, mentioned a couple of days
903
00:25:31,229 --> 00:25:32,297
ago, and
904
00:25:32,297 --> 00:25:32,531
like,
905
00:25:32,531 --> 00:25:34,032
those beautiful lines out
906
00:25:34,032 --> 00:25:37,602
there, Crispin, the floor was shy and
907
00:25:37,836 --> 00:25:40,839
and just just perfect.
908
00:25:41,139 --> 00:25:42,574
And then I looked right down
909
00:25:42,574 --> 00:25:43,909
where the floor met
910
00:25:43,909 --> 00:25:46,912
the glass and the lights and everything.
911
00:25:47,846 --> 00:25:50,582
I thought I was going to throw up
912
00:25:50,582 --> 00:25:51,583
when I saw all the edge.
913
00:25:51,583 --> 00:25:53,385
Your marks,
914
00:25:53,385 --> 00:25:56,121
all you could see.
915
00:25:56,121 --> 00:25:58,023
I mean, you could see everything
916
00:25:58,023 --> 00:25:59,024
because it was, you know,
917
00:25:59,024 --> 00:26:01,860
glass reflection,
918
00:26:01,860 --> 00:26:04,729
intense lighting and gloss finish
919
00:26:04,729 --> 00:26:06,665
and the beat.
920
00:26:06,665 --> 00:26:08,633
And I go, I can't live.
921
00:26:08,633 --> 00:26:10,201
We get to do these courts over.
922
00:26:10,201 --> 00:26:12,103
We there's no way
923
00:26:12,103 --> 00:26:13,505
we're going to try and get business
924
00:26:13,505 --> 00:26:16,341
out of this, right.
925
00:26:16,341 --> 00:26:19,044
that was it was really,
926
00:26:19,044 --> 00:26:19,911
really bad
927
00:26:19,911 --> 00:26:20,879
edge or work
928
00:26:20,879 --> 00:26:23,715
That was really to say, all right,
929
00:26:23,715 --> 00:26:26,418
we got to do a better job as you know,
930
00:26:27,786 --> 00:26:29,154
you know, the old 4080
931
00:26:29,154 --> 00:26:32,591
sat and probably bad lighting not here.
932
00:26:33,325 --> 00:26:34,259
Was that back in the day
933
00:26:34,259 --> 00:26:35,493
where the men were those
934
00:26:35,493 --> 00:26:36,995
real short shorts?
935
00:26:36,995 --> 00:26:39,731
Yes. Yeah. Yes.
936
00:26:39,731 --> 00:26:41,232
And my kids make fun of me
937
00:26:41,232 --> 00:26:42,734
because I still wear those short shorts.
938
00:26:42,734 --> 00:26:44,102
Really? Yeah.
939
00:26:44,102 --> 00:26:44,469
You know,
940
00:26:44,469 --> 00:26:47,472
I lost my when I went to work for Bona.
941
00:26:47,906 --> 00:26:48,873
You did?
942
00:26:48,873 --> 00:26:50,775
Yeah.
943
00:26:50,775 --> 00:26:51,276
Chiseled.
944
00:26:51,276 --> 00:26:53,645
It used to be. Fine financially. Or.
945
00:26:53,645 --> 00:26:55,513
No, no,
946
00:26:55,513 --> 00:26:57,482
no, physically.
947
00:26:57,482 --> 00:26:59,217
Finance is okay, but.
948
00:26:59,217 --> 00:27:01,186
But, you know, you're doing floors
949
00:27:01,186 --> 00:27:01,720
every day.
950
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,121
You're you're picking up machines,
951
00:27:03,121 --> 00:27:03,955
you're bent over,
952
00:27:03,955 --> 00:27:05,156
you're picking up stuff.
953
00:27:05,156 --> 00:27:06,424
You're working every day,
954
00:27:06,424 --> 00:27:08,126
You're carrying in wood, You're
955
00:27:08,126 --> 00:27:09,728
you're working all the time.
956
00:27:09,728 --> 00:27:11,262
And and
957
00:27:11,262 --> 00:27:13,565
and now you know, that's all gone.
958
00:27:13,565 --> 00:27:16,034
And Aaron pointed out to me
959
00:27:16,034 --> 00:27:17,435
one time they took a picture
960
00:27:17,435 --> 00:27:18,637
and it was like, It's gone, dude.
961
00:27:18,637 --> 00:27:19,104
It's gone.
962
00:27:20,972 --> 00:27:22,540
So this is one of
963
00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:24,342
the things that come with the territory.
964
00:27:24,342 --> 00:27:26,311
I, I said it to the kids, Art.
965
00:27:26,311 --> 00:27:28,079
I really miss being strong.
966
00:27:28,079 --> 00:27:31,216
Yeah, yeah, I agree with you.
967
00:27:32,250 --> 00:27:34,019
Like,
968
00:27:34,019 --> 00:27:36,788
like, like I lost, like, £30
969
00:27:36,788 --> 00:27:37,822
or so
970
00:27:37,822 --> 00:27:38,623
that you had to go
971
00:27:38,623 --> 00:27:40,925
and get most of it off, I think.
972
00:27:40,925 --> 00:27:42,093
that's fantastic.
973
00:27:42,093 --> 00:27:44,896
But I look, I went over like 30,
974
00:27:44,896 --> 00:27:45,463
you know what I mean?
975
00:27:45,463 --> 00:27:46,264
I don't like 30,
976
00:27:46,264 --> 00:27:47,265
like back in the day
977
00:27:47,265 --> 00:27:48,299
when I weighed that amount
978
00:27:48,299 --> 00:27:50,068
as things, things changed.
979
00:27:50,068 --> 00:27:53,071
So.
980
00:27:53,138 --> 00:27:55,240
All right.
981
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:55,907
So, you know,
982
00:27:55,907 --> 00:27:56,341
you got to be
983
00:27:56,341 --> 00:27:57,342
the only person in the world
984
00:27:57,342 --> 00:27:59,044
disappointed in weight loss.
985
00:27:59,044 --> 00:28:00,311
my God, look at me.
986
00:28:00,311 --> 00:28:02,313
I remember when I was a kid
987
00:28:02,313 --> 00:28:03,181
of cheeseburgers.
988
00:28:03,181 --> 00:28:06,184
I can't get like this.
989
00:28:06,918 --> 00:28:08,319
When I was in a ranch rack,
990
00:28:08,319 --> 00:28:09,287
when I was in high school.
991
00:28:09,287 --> 00:28:11,523
And I ran the mile on a two mile,
992
00:28:12,757 --> 00:28:13,525
although I could have ran
993
00:28:13,525 --> 00:28:15,794
a 100 yard dash. But the politics.
994
00:28:15,794 --> 00:28:18,797
But I ran my own two mile and
995
00:28:19,564 --> 00:28:21,066
we had our pictures taken.
996
00:28:21,066 --> 00:28:21,332
All right.
997
00:28:21,332 --> 00:28:22,400
The track team, right.
998
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,335
So I get the picture taken,
999
00:28:24,335 --> 00:28:25,236
you know, and I come home
1000
00:28:25,236 --> 00:28:27,405
and I show my my
1001
00:28:27,405 --> 00:28:30,408
mom here's a picture of me and attractive
1002
00:28:30,508 --> 00:28:32,544
and she I'm standing next to the shot,
1003
00:28:32,544 --> 00:28:35,246
put it right, and she goes,
1004
00:28:35,246 --> 00:28:38,249
You had to stand next to that guy.
1005
00:28:39,818 --> 00:28:40,985
The guy was a take.
1006
00:28:40,985 --> 00:28:41,853
And I was the time
1007
00:28:41,853 --> 00:28:43,488
I probably weigh about £175
1008
00:28:43,488 --> 00:28:44,055
because I was,
1009
00:28:44,055 --> 00:28:44,956
you know, running every day.
1010
00:28:44,956 --> 00:28:45,990
I was skinny.
1011
00:28:45,990 --> 00:28:46,891
But yeah.
1012
00:28:46,891 --> 00:28:47,726
So anyhow,
1013
00:28:47,726 --> 00:28:50,195
that's I was going I'm going backwards.
1014
00:28:50,195 --> 00:28:50,662
All right.
1015
00:28:50,662 --> 00:28:51,529
That that's what
1016
00:28:51,529 --> 00:28:53,932
I was shot putter and discus this.
1017
00:28:53,932 --> 00:28:54,866
Yeah.
1018
00:28:54,866 --> 00:28:55,767
Well
1019
00:28:55,767 --> 00:28:57,135
and one of the funniest
1020
00:28:57,135 --> 00:28:59,137
track meets ever was
1021
00:29:00,238 --> 00:29:01,172
because I was also on the
1022
00:29:01,172 --> 00:29:02,907
indoor track team, too.
1023
00:29:02,907 --> 00:29:05,677
So we're at an indoor track meet
1024
00:29:05,677 --> 00:29:07,345
and there was no place
1025
00:29:07,345 --> 00:29:08,613
for us to throw the shotput.
1026
00:29:08,613 --> 00:29:09,247
It was just
1027
00:29:09,247 --> 00:29:11,883
something happened, something weird.
1028
00:29:11,883 --> 00:29:14,018
So you get all and these to, you know,
1029
00:29:14,018 --> 00:29:15,153
these track meets, right?
1030
00:29:15,153 --> 00:29:15,787
You were in track.
1031
00:29:15,787 --> 00:29:17,422
So they be
1032
00:29:17,422 --> 00:29:18,723
four or five, six schools
1033
00:29:18,723 --> 00:29:21,926
there, you know, So you got four or five
1034
00:29:21,926 --> 00:29:24,929
and they used to call us the weight men.
1035
00:29:25,029 --> 00:29:26,564
Imagine calling kids that now.
1036
00:29:26,564 --> 00:29:27,565
And.
1037
00:29:27,565 --> 00:29:30,568
Everybody be going to their safe space.
1038
00:29:30,869 --> 00:29:31,770
And I remember
1039
00:29:31,770 --> 00:29:34,072
listening to the coaches like, well,
1040
00:29:34,072 --> 00:29:35,740
the Weight man can't do that if shotput,
1041
00:29:35,740 --> 00:29:37,108
you know,
1042
00:29:37,108 --> 00:29:40,111
he goes, let's have him run a relay race.
1043
00:29:41,780 --> 00:29:45,583
So you had five teams of sharpshooters
1044
00:29:46,217 --> 00:29:47,819
running a relay race.
1045
00:29:47,819 --> 00:29:48,419
Could have been.
1046
00:29:48,419 --> 00:29:49,387
It's a shame
1047
00:29:49,387 --> 00:29:51,189
that we didn't have cameras and stuff
1048
00:29:51,189 --> 00:29:51,689
like phones
1049
00:29:51,689 --> 00:29:52,357
like we have now
1050
00:29:52,357 --> 00:29:55,360
because it was hysterical, man.
1051
00:29:55,426 --> 00:29:58,763
All you heard the whole time was just
1052
00:29:58,763 --> 00:30:01,766
the the banging of the batons dropping.
1053
00:30:01,833 --> 00:30:03,668
Right? You know that clanging?
1054
00:30:03,668 --> 00:30:04,569
Yeah. Yeah.
1055
00:30:07,405 --> 00:30:10,408
You know, though, when it
1056
00:30:10,575 --> 00:30:11,442
a relay race
1057
00:30:11,442 --> 00:30:14,445
is the worst race you could possibly run
1058
00:30:14,712 --> 00:30:15,914
if they take you out of your sport
1059
00:30:15,914 --> 00:30:16,981
like you're a shot putter
1060
00:30:16,981 --> 00:30:17,615
doing your thing.
1061
00:30:17,615 --> 00:30:19,684
You're trained to do that, right?
1062
00:30:19,684 --> 00:30:20,051
Yeah,
1063
00:30:20,051 --> 00:30:21,352
but then they put you in something
1064
00:30:21,352 --> 00:30:22,587
else, man.
1065
00:30:22,587 --> 00:30:23,555
Like I said, I ran the mile.
1066
00:30:23,555 --> 00:30:24,756
Two mile one day.
1067
00:30:24,756 --> 00:30:25,723
They said, we need somebody
1068
00:30:25,723 --> 00:30:28,760
that do the on the relay for the 880.
1069
00:30:29,594 --> 00:30:30,261
And I said,
1070
00:30:30,261 --> 00:30:31,696
All right, well, I'll do it for you.
1071
00:30:31,696 --> 00:30:31,896
All right.
1072
00:30:31,896 --> 00:30:33,298
This man will bring this up, man.
1073
00:30:33,298 --> 00:30:34,199
I'm used to running a mile.
1074
00:30:34,199 --> 00:30:34,833
It's going to be that.
1075
00:30:34,833 --> 00:30:36,201
I got to do something like that.
1076
00:30:36,201 --> 00:30:37,268
Yeah. Okay.
1077
00:30:37,268 --> 00:30:38,436
A third of the way through
1078
00:30:38,436 --> 00:30:40,038
I wanted to throw up
1079
00:30:40,038 --> 00:30:41,306
is like, Man, this is, like,
1080
00:30:41,306 --> 00:30:42,106
completely different
1081
00:30:42,106 --> 00:30:42,974
than I've been used to.
1082
00:30:42,974 --> 00:30:44,943
So the funny part of this was
1083
00:30:44,943 --> 00:30:47,612
they just threw us out there, right?
1084
00:30:47,612 --> 00:30:48,246
And they go, Okay,
1085
00:30:48,246 --> 00:30:49,981
you guys are going to run a relay.
1086
00:30:49,981 --> 00:30:51,716
So and you had.
1087
00:30:51,716 --> 00:30:53,785
But the funny part was the coaches
1088
00:30:53,785 --> 00:30:56,020
and the other guys on the team
1089
00:30:56,020 --> 00:30:58,523
trying to show sharpshooters
1090
00:30:58,523 --> 00:31:01,226
how to give a baton and run
1091
00:31:01,226 --> 00:31:02,694
and accept the baton.
1092
00:31:02,694 --> 00:31:04,362
You know, it's not. Yeah.
1093
00:31:04,362 --> 00:31:05,163
they run up to you
1094
00:31:05,163 --> 00:31:06,698
and hand it to you, right?
1095
00:31:06,698 --> 00:31:08,166
Yeah. They're trying to do the whole.
1096
00:31:08,166 --> 00:31:09,334
Well, this is how you do it.
1097
00:31:09,334 --> 00:31:11,069
You got to be running in motion
1098
00:31:11,069 --> 00:31:12,337
with your hand in the back
1099
00:31:12,337 --> 00:31:14,572
and the whole it was
1100
00:31:14,572 --> 00:31:15,573
that would have been half of
1101
00:31:15,573 --> 00:31:17,942
the comedy was just them
1102
00:31:17,942 --> 00:31:20,879
showing us how to give it and accept it.
1103
00:31:22,614 --> 00:31:24,349
Yeah, yeah.
1104
00:31:24,349 --> 00:31:25,783
I'll have to tell you this.
1105
00:31:25,783 --> 00:31:26,885
And then maybe there's a two on.
1106
00:31:26,885 --> 00:31:28,353
We had to get this out. I don't know.
1107
00:31:28,353 --> 00:31:29,954
But the part of the problem
1108
00:31:29,954 --> 00:31:31,990
on a relay team too, is that you're
1109
00:31:31,990 --> 00:31:33,591
part of a team now.
1110
00:31:33,591 --> 00:31:34,859
That's what I like about running
1111
00:31:34,859 --> 00:31:36,394
track is it's you,
1112
00:31:36,394 --> 00:31:37,896
good or bad, it's you, right?
1113
00:31:37,896 --> 00:31:38,963
But now, you know, if you
1114
00:31:38,963 --> 00:31:39,564
if you blow,
1115
00:31:39,564 --> 00:31:41,599
if you blow the hand off and you know,
1116
00:31:41,599 --> 00:31:43,201
you screwed up for everybody,
1117
00:31:43,201 --> 00:31:44,802
the worst instance of that
1118
00:31:44,802 --> 00:31:46,537
I've ever had in my life
1119
00:31:46,537 --> 00:31:47,405
was when
1120
00:31:47,405 --> 00:31:48,039
my brother John
1121
00:31:48,039 --> 00:31:51,042
and I moved to a new town again.
1122
00:31:51,109 --> 00:31:53,177
And we were in the ROTC program.
1123
00:31:53,177 --> 00:31:54,245
Right.
1124
00:31:54,245 --> 00:31:55,380
We joined the drill
1125
00:31:55,380 --> 00:31:56,915
team in the honor guard,
1126
00:31:56,915 --> 00:31:59,183
the drill team, these guys at our school,
1127
00:31:59,183 --> 00:32:00,551
they really took this to heart, man.
1128
00:32:00,551 --> 00:32:01,619
And they were really good at,
1129
00:32:01,619 --> 00:32:02,453
you know, you see
1130
00:32:02,453 --> 00:32:04,555
have you see the on TV, the
1131
00:32:04,555 --> 00:32:04,989
the Marines,
1132
00:32:04,989 --> 00:32:05,590
the color guard
1133
00:32:05,590 --> 00:32:06,724
doing the clean in salute,
1134
00:32:06,724 --> 00:32:07,892
doing the rivals of each other
1135
00:32:07,892 --> 00:32:08,760
and all that, right?
1136
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:09,761
Yeah. Yes.
1137
00:32:09,761 --> 00:32:09,994
All right.
1138
00:32:09,994 --> 00:32:11,629
So my brother was on that.
1139
00:32:11,629 --> 00:32:14,098
I was on the color guard. Okay.
1140
00:32:14,098 --> 00:32:16,200
So we had a drive to this function
1141
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:16,668
where all
1142
00:32:16,668 --> 00:32:17,135
we compete
1143
00:32:17,135 --> 00:32:19,137
against all the other ROTC teams
1144
00:32:19,137 --> 00:32:20,939
in the in the state. And
1145
00:32:21,906 --> 00:32:23,107
they had practiced night
1146
00:32:23,107 --> 00:32:24,175
after night after night.
1147
00:32:24,175 --> 00:32:27,178
And my brother was was
1148
00:32:27,545 --> 00:32:28,313
he was in the front
1149
00:32:28,313 --> 00:32:29,948
were as are marching off
1150
00:32:29,948 --> 00:32:31,049
when the routine is done
1151
00:32:31,049 --> 00:32:32,317
he has to take his rifle
1152
00:32:32,317 --> 00:32:33,651
and throw it to the guy at the very back.
1153
00:32:33,651 --> 00:32:34,385
Right.
1154
00:32:34,385 --> 00:32:35,520
So he throws it without
1155
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,355
look at you toss it back to him
1156
00:32:37,355 --> 00:32:37,855
and the guy
1157
00:32:37,855 --> 00:32:39,223
five guys back catches it
1158
00:32:39,223 --> 00:32:40,224
and then he doesn't salute
1159
00:32:40,224 --> 00:32:41,759
and they walk up.
1160
00:32:41,759 --> 00:32:42,994
They nailed it every time.
1161
00:32:42,994 --> 00:32:45,263
Every time. Every time was perfect.
1162
00:32:45,263 --> 00:32:46,364
When it came time to do it,
1163
00:32:46,364 --> 00:32:48,666
my brother threw it at a right angle.
1164
00:32:48,666 --> 00:32:49,434
He threw it out.
1165
00:32:49,434 --> 00:32:50,969
He threw it, like so far up to the right.
1166
00:32:50,969 --> 00:32:51,869
That,
1167
00:32:51,869 --> 00:32:53,404
I mean, is like,
1168
00:32:53,404 --> 00:32:56,374
incomprehensible how you could do that.
1169
00:32:56,908 --> 00:32:59,277
So then it came time for the color guard.
1170
00:32:59,277 --> 00:33:00,845
I was a rifle man on the color guard.
1171
00:33:00,845 --> 00:33:01,245
There's one.
1172
00:33:01,245 --> 00:33:03,247
I did say this way as the two guys, the
1173
00:33:03,247 --> 00:33:03,881
in the regiment,
1174
00:33:05,016 --> 00:33:06,684
when we start marching out there,
1175
00:33:06,684 --> 00:33:07,585
the guy called Help.
1176
00:33:07,585 --> 00:33:10,355
I kept walking, right?
1177
00:33:10,355 --> 00:33:11,856
I mean, walking beautifully,
1178
00:33:11,856 --> 00:33:13,725
but walking alone without the flag.
1179
00:33:13,725 --> 00:33:14,559
Everybody else is stopped.
1180
00:33:14,559 --> 00:33:16,027
Like they're back there.
1181
00:33:16,027 --> 00:33:16,894
And I keep walking.
1182
00:33:16,894 --> 00:33:19,097
After he said, Hope, I don't know.
1183
00:33:19,097 --> 00:33:19,697
And then then
1184
00:33:19,697 --> 00:33:20,465
it's like
1185
00:33:20,465 --> 00:33:21,199
it's like,
1186
00:33:21,199 --> 00:33:23,601
Well, how far do I carry this arm?
1187
00:33:23,601 --> 00:33:26,604
You know what I mean?
1188
00:33:28,506 --> 00:33:31,476
I can now just pick any place to stop,
1189
00:33:31,476 --> 00:33:34,045
you know, I'm like, out the window.
1190
00:33:34,045 --> 00:33:35,446
So when I came to a stop,
1191
00:33:35,446 --> 00:33:37,415
it was like a really official, beautiful,
1192
00:33:37,415 --> 00:33:40,018
full stop.
1193
00:33:40,018 --> 00:33:40,818
And then the other guy
1194
00:33:40,818 --> 00:33:41,686
had to have everybody
1195
00:33:41,686 --> 00:33:44,522
go and march them up to catch up to me.
1196
00:33:44,522 --> 00:33:45,857
And then it's been
1197
00:33:45,857 --> 00:33:46,290
my brother
1198
00:33:46,290 --> 00:33:47,258
and I were in the back of the bus.
1199
00:33:47,258 --> 00:33:50,128
It was like being a Highlanders, man,
1200
00:33:50,128 --> 00:33:51,996
you know, we just moved to this town.
1201
00:33:51,996 --> 00:33:53,064
We didn't know anybody,
1202
00:33:53,064 --> 00:33:54,065
but my brother Joe
1203
00:33:54,065 --> 00:33:56,467
screwed up the whole ROTC drill team.
1204
00:33:56,467 --> 00:33:57,635
I screwed up the Coast Guard.
1205
00:33:57,635 --> 00:34:00,838
We came back like a zero in the contest,
1206
00:34:03,274 --> 00:34:03,708
so.
1207
00:34:03,708 --> 00:34:06,711
Exactly like a Three Stooges.
1208
00:34:07,712 --> 00:34:08,179
right.
1209
00:34:08,179 --> 00:34:10,048
I can see that now.
1210
00:34:10,048 --> 00:34:12,417
Yeah, They stop. Curly keeps going.
1211
00:34:12,417 --> 00:34:13,284
You were curly.
1212
00:34:13,284 --> 00:34:16,054
Keep going. Yeah, it was ugly. Okay.
1213
00:34:16,054 --> 00:34:17,688
You should have done the curly shuffle.
1214
00:34:17,688 --> 00:34:18,623
Going backwards
1215
00:34:18,623 --> 00:34:20,525
to get back into the light.
1216
00:34:20,525 --> 00:34:20,992
That whole thing.
1217
00:34:20,992 --> 00:34:23,828
So
1218
00:34:23,828 --> 00:34:24,896
habits.
1219
00:34:24,896 --> 00:34:27,065
I will say this, that
1220
00:34:27,065 --> 00:34:28,533
making a lunch every day,
1221
00:34:28,533 --> 00:34:29,200
Believe it or not,
1222
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,102
if you add up the amount of money
1223
00:34:31,102 --> 00:34:34,872
that you spend in time at lunch is over
1224
00:34:34,872 --> 00:34:36,007
a year's time.
1225
00:34:36,007 --> 00:34:38,109
That is a habit that for young, young,
1226
00:34:38,109 --> 00:34:39,877
young people especially,
1227
00:34:39,877 --> 00:34:40,311
I mean,
1228
00:34:40,311 --> 00:34:41,746
if you're spending 15 bucks a day,
1229
00:34:41,746 --> 00:34:42,914
if you want to Starbucks in the morning,
1230
00:34:42,914 --> 00:34:44,315
you're getting coffee,
1231
00:34:44,315 --> 00:34:47,051
which is astronomically expensive,
1232
00:34:47,051 --> 00:34:47,785
and at lunch time
1233
00:34:47,785 --> 00:34:49,520
you're spending 15 or so bucks
1234
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,556
for lunch, ten bucks for lunch.
1235
00:34:51,556 --> 00:34:54,158
Well, that's you know, just on a lunch
1236
00:34:54,158 --> 00:34:55,827
every day is 50 bucks a week
1237
00:34:55,827 --> 00:34:57,328
as 200 bucks a month.
1238
00:34:57,328 --> 00:34:58,629
And you add in the other things
1239
00:34:58,629 --> 00:35:00,231
and that you're now you're talking about
1240
00:35:00,231 --> 00:35:00,965
that's a car payment
1241
00:35:00,965 --> 00:35:02,100
after a while, Right.
1242
00:35:02,100 --> 00:35:03,701
Especially for your hoodies.
1243
00:35:03,701 --> 00:35:05,036
So I think it's important
1244
00:35:05,036 --> 00:35:06,904
if you think about
1245
00:35:06,904 --> 00:35:09,273
how much you spend on on on lunch
1246
00:35:09,273 --> 00:35:10,007
every day versus
1247
00:35:10,007 --> 00:35:12,343
just making your own in the morning and
1248
00:35:12,343 --> 00:35:13,778
and bring it with you.
1249
00:35:13,778 --> 00:35:15,346
I've actually make my own breakfast
1250
00:35:15,346 --> 00:35:16,547
now every morning
1251
00:35:16,547 --> 00:35:17,715
instead of to one of the restaurant.
1252
00:35:19,684 --> 00:35:20,251
And it
1253
00:35:20,251 --> 00:35:23,254
saves you know, it saves ten bucks a day.
1254
00:35:23,321 --> 00:35:25,790
So I really think that's a habit
1255
00:35:25,790 --> 00:35:26,224
that if you
1256
00:35:26,224 --> 00:35:28,226
if you add that up over years time,
1257
00:35:28,226 --> 00:35:31,195
put that money aside.
1258
00:35:31,195 --> 00:35:32,530
It's a lot of money.
1259
00:35:32,530 --> 00:35:35,533
It's big time.
1260
00:35:36,534 --> 00:35:37,802
One of my big habits
1261
00:35:37,802 --> 00:35:41,172
is releasing the pressure, releasing
1262
00:35:41,172 --> 00:35:44,175
the paper
1263
00:35:44,742 --> 00:35:45,576
on the drum.
1264
00:35:45,576 --> 00:35:46,611
Yeah. Okay.
1265
00:35:46,611 --> 00:35:47,445
Yep, yep.
1266
00:35:47,445 --> 00:35:48,779
Especially now
1267
00:35:48,779 --> 00:35:50,181
where the drums
1268
00:35:50,181 --> 00:35:50,948
that we have now
1269
00:35:50,948 --> 00:35:53,484
compared to the old drum standards,
1270
00:35:53,484 --> 00:35:54,752
you know, the old drum standards.
1271
00:35:54,752 --> 00:35:55,987
Remember, you
1272
00:35:55,987 --> 00:35:57,155
didn't have that nice, soft,
1273
00:35:57,155 --> 00:35:59,190
rubbery ears that white felt
1274
00:35:59,190 --> 00:36:00,691
how hard it was.
1275
00:36:00,691 --> 00:36:03,194
So it was tough to flat spot that stuff
1276
00:36:03,194 --> 00:36:04,228
unless you hit it with something.
1277
00:36:04,228 --> 00:36:05,329
But yeah,
1278
00:36:05,329 --> 00:36:06,697
with the new rubbers
1279
00:36:06,697 --> 00:36:08,299
that we have today on Drum.
1280
00:36:08,299 --> 00:36:09,300
Sanders
1281
00:36:09,300 --> 00:36:12,003
If you leave that pressure on the paper,
1282
00:36:12,003 --> 00:36:13,471
you're going to flat spot it,
1283
00:36:13,471 --> 00:36:14,705
because what happens is
1284
00:36:14,705 --> 00:36:17,375
that rubber gets all warm. It's right.
1285
00:36:17,375 --> 00:36:18,376
You run that machine eight,
1286
00:36:18,376 --> 00:36:21,145
ten, 12 hours a day, that rubber is hot.
1287
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:23,247
And if you don't
1288
00:36:23,247 --> 00:36:24,882
take the pressure off of that paper,
1289
00:36:24,882 --> 00:36:27,118
you're going to flat spot that rubber.
1290
00:36:27,118 --> 00:36:27,485
Yeah.
1291
00:36:27,485 --> 00:36:30,454
And if it cools like that,
1292
00:36:30,454 --> 00:36:31,455
you're going to have to shatter marks
1293
00:36:31,455 --> 00:36:32,423
45 minutes
1294
00:36:32,423 --> 00:36:35,927
the next day until she heats up again.
1295
00:36:35,927 --> 00:36:38,763
And now you get that that nice round.
1296
00:36:38,763 --> 00:36:41,766
So every day, that's my big habit,
1297
00:36:41,899 --> 00:36:43,034
even to the point where
1298
00:36:43,034 --> 00:36:44,035
if I'm going to lunch,
1299
00:36:44,035 --> 00:36:46,871
I'll just release the pressure off of it,
1300
00:36:46,871 --> 00:36:48,606
let that rubber come back. Nice.
1301
00:36:48,606 --> 00:36:50,775
So I'm constantly it's
1302
00:36:50,775 --> 00:36:52,043
one of the things I talk to guys
1303
00:36:52,043 --> 00:36:52,944
about in the class.
1304
00:36:52,944 --> 00:36:53,644
Same thing.
1305
00:36:53,644 --> 00:36:55,680
Just get in that habit
1306
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,982
of always releasing the pressure
1307
00:36:57,982 --> 00:36:59,250
and you'll never flat
1308
00:36:59,250 --> 00:37:01,586
spot the drum and you won't get the,
1309
00:37:01,586 --> 00:37:03,254
you know, shadow marks.
1310
00:37:03,254 --> 00:37:04,689
Because I remember when people were like,
1311
00:37:04,689 --> 00:37:05,523
Yeah,
1312
00:37:05,523 --> 00:37:06,157
I'm getting shatter
1313
00:37:06,157 --> 00:37:06,991
marks on my units
1314
00:37:06,991 --> 00:37:09,660
and it's impossible to get a chad or mark
1315
00:37:09,660 --> 00:37:11,429
with a belt machine.
1316
00:37:11,429 --> 00:37:14,365
But I found out, no, absolutely not.
1317
00:37:14,365 --> 00:37:15,666
You can get it.
1318
00:37:15,666 --> 00:37:17,268
Well, it's interesting.
1319
00:37:17,268 --> 00:37:19,003
I had that on my list as well. And
1320
00:37:20,137 --> 00:37:21,539
I also added to that this
1321
00:37:21,539 --> 00:37:23,374
could almost turn into a big machine
1322
00:37:23,374 --> 00:37:26,010
episode is losing the belts
1323
00:37:26,010 --> 00:37:28,813
on the machines for the very same reason
1324
00:37:28,813 --> 00:37:30,481
they develop a set.
1325
00:37:30,481 --> 00:37:31,549
And over time you,
1326
00:37:31,549 --> 00:37:32,683
instead of going through the pulleys
1327
00:37:32,683 --> 00:37:35,319
nice and smooth, is going to boom
1328
00:37:35,319 --> 00:37:36,520
as it comes around.
1329
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:37,255
So now look,
1330
00:37:37,255 --> 00:37:37,455
look,
1331
00:37:37,455 --> 00:37:38,723
look at the things we just talked about
1332
00:37:38,723 --> 00:37:41,726
that takes 30 seconds.
1333
00:37:41,759 --> 00:37:44,762
Loosen the belts,
1334
00:37:46,998 --> 00:37:48,366
take the wheels off the ground.
1335
00:37:48,366 --> 00:37:50,835
When you're not seeing
1336
00:37:50,835 --> 00:37:52,970
the dust bag, take the dust bag out
1337
00:37:52,970 --> 00:37:55,873
and and,
1338
00:37:55,873 --> 00:37:57,308
you know,
1339
00:37:57,308 --> 00:37:59,477
taking the tension off of the of the
1340
00:37:59,477 --> 00:38:00,711
the sandpaper.
1341
00:38:00,711 --> 00:38:02,113
So that tells you these
1342
00:38:02,113 --> 00:38:03,881
these are finely tuned
1343
00:38:03,881 --> 00:38:05,383
machines that we're working with today.
1344
00:38:05,383 --> 00:38:06,517
No matter what brand they are,
1345
00:38:06,517 --> 00:38:08,319
they're finely tuned machines.
1346
00:38:08,319 --> 00:38:10,821
And so there was a labor shortage
1347
00:38:10,821 --> 00:38:11,956
and then the expectations
1348
00:38:11,956 --> 00:38:12,556
put on the floor.
1349
00:38:12,556 --> 00:38:13,491
I say that's that's
1350
00:38:13,491 --> 00:38:14,625
something can do every day
1351
00:38:14,625 --> 00:38:15,526
that takes literally
1352
00:38:15,526 --> 00:38:16,961
no time
1353
00:38:16,961 --> 00:38:17,495
to do
1354
00:38:17,495 --> 00:38:19,664
and could really dramatically
1355
00:38:19,664 --> 00:38:21,399
or even have it on one job.
1356
00:38:21,399 --> 00:38:22,767
It stops you from having a problem
1357
00:38:24,035 --> 00:38:25,236
and well, just read it.
1358
00:38:25,236 --> 00:38:27,438
I'm just going to say
1359
00:38:27,438 --> 00:38:28,472
when you go on vacation,
1360
00:38:28,472 --> 00:38:29,307
if you know your schedule
1361
00:38:29,307 --> 00:38:30,207
and go on vacation
1362
00:38:30,207 --> 00:38:31,242
schedule, bring in the machine
1363
00:38:31,242 --> 00:38:33,844
at the same time that shop that works on
1364
00:38:33,844 --> 00:38:35,346
every service.
1365
00:38:35,346 --> 00:38:37,481
Don Smith and God bless you
1366
00:38:37,481 --> 00:38:38,316
wherever you are, man.
1367
00:38:38,316 --> 00:38:39,750
I know he's us.
1368
00:38:39,750 --> 00:38:40,885
He's retired from the industry,
1369
00:38:40,885 --> 00:38:42,720
but one of the best
1370
00:38:42,720 --> 00:38:44,322
guys I've ever seen working on a machine.
1371
00:38:44,322 --> 00:38:46,324
Phenomenal machine, man.
1372
00:38:46,324 --> 00:38:47,458
We would take our machine,
1373
00:38:47,458 --> 00:38:48,392
we would bring it to him.
1374
00:38:48,392 --> 00:38:49,226
He would service them
1375
00:38:49,226 --> 00:38:50,695
while we're on vacation.
1376
00:38:50,695 --> 00:38:52,730
Wasn't he?
1377
00:38:52,730 --> 00:38:54,131
He was from California, wasn't he?
1378
00:38:54,131 --> 00:38:57,034
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I.
1379
00:38:57,034 --> 00:38:58,703
I knew him.
1380
00:38:58,703 --> 00:39:00,404
I met him a couple of times out there.
1381
00:39:00,404 --> 00:39:01,605
Such a good dude, man.
1382
00:39:01,605 --> 00:39:02,340
Really nice.
1383
00:39:02,340 --> 00:39:02,873
Guy.
1384
00:39:02,873 --> 00:39:05,876
Yeah, nice guy, Phenomenal mechanic.
1385
00:39:06,043 --> 00:39:06,377
And.
1386
00:39:07,511 --> 00:39:08,646
And he's retired.
1387
00:39:08,646 --> 00:39:10,281
that's a name from the past.
1388
00:39:10,281 --> 00:39:11,916
Yeah. Yeah.
1389
00:39:11,916 --> 00:39:12,850
Good, good.
1390
00:39:12,850 --> 00:39:15,853
I'll tell you, Kevin O'Leary to
1391
00:39:18,422 --> 00:39:20,091
think you got a good, great shop as well.
1392
00:39:20,091 --> 00:39:21,092
I mean, that is another guy
1393
00:39:21,092 --> 00:39:23,194
that does a good job with machine, so.
1394
00:39:23,194 --> 00:39:25,463
That's right. Well,
1395
00:39:25,463 --> 00:39:26,097
you know what?
1396
00:39:26,097 --> 00:39:27,965
Let's keep going down big machines.
1397
00:39:27,965 --> 00:39:30,935
I got a couple more for the big machine,
1398
00:39:31,268 --> 00:39:32,002
so we're on it.
1399
00:39:32,002 --> 00:39:32,803
I'm going to
1400
00:39:32,803 --> 00:39:35,806
I check that for Frank every day,
1401
00:39:36,073 --> 00:39:36,874
every day
1402
00:39:36,874 --> 00:39:39,276
I check the footprint before I start.
1403
00:39:39,276 --> 00:39:41,712
Do you really? Yeah.
1404
00:39:41,712 --> 00:39:43,114
You want to check the footprint?
1405
00:39:43,114 --> 00:39:44,715
And one of the reasons
1406
00:39:44,715 --> 00:39:47,718
and I think we've all done it, where
1407
00:39:49,019 --> 00:39:50,421
you start running the buffer,
1408
00:39:50,421 --> 00:39:51,422
you're all done.
1409
00:39:51,422 --> 00:39:52,256
You start running the buffer
1410
00:39:52,256 --> 00:39:53,724
and all of a sudden you see,
1411
00:39:53,724 --> 00:39:55,526
you know, those nice slice lights.
1412
00:39:55,526 --> 00:39:57,661
You know, we cut too heavy on one side.
1413
00:39:57,661 --> 00:39:59,530
Now I got to go back.
1414
00:39:59,530 --> 00:40:00,064
I got to either
1415
00:40:00,064 --> 00:40:02,133
try and buff everything out or take it
1416
00:40:02,133 --> 00:40:03,868
take it out with the machine.
1417
00:40:03,868 --> 00:40:05,770
And if I just check the footprint
1418
00:40:06,737 --> 00:40:08,706
and the
1419
00:40:08,706 --> 00:40:11,175
the reason that I like checking it
1420
00:40:11,175 --> 00:40:14,178
is because
1421
00:40:14,178 --> 00:40:15,246
even though it was sand
1422
00:40:15,246 --> 00:40:17,448
and heavy to one side,
1423
00:40:17,448 --> 00:40:19,116
it was sand and light enough
1424
00:40:19,116 --> 00:40:20,418
that it was still removing
1425
00:40:20,418 --> 00:40:23,421
finish on the other side,
1426
00:40:23,421 --> 00:40:25,055
you know what I mean?
1427
00:40:25,055 --> 00:40:26,824
So even though it was removing
1428
00:40:26,824 --> 00:40:29,393
finish all across the eight inches,
1429
00:40:29,393 --> 00:40:30,194
it was removing
1430
00:40:30,194 --> 00:40:31,295
a hell of a lot more on
1431
00:40:31,295 --> 00:40:33,397
one side than it was the other.
1432
00:40:33,397 --> 00:40:34,632
And until I started checking
1433
00:40:34,632 --> 00:40:35,733
the footprint
1434
00:40:35,733 --> 00:40:36,934
now, you never going
1435
00:40:36,934 --> 00:40:38,969
to get jammed up like that again.
1436
00:40:38,969 --> 00:40:40,204
Yeah, go.
1437
00:40:40,204 --> 00:40:43,174
I honestly didn't do that a lot.
1438
00:40:43,340 --> 00:40:45,109
Can I backtrack real quick?
1439
00:40:45,109 --> 00:40:47,578
No. No way. We're moving forward.
1440
00:40:47,578 --> 00:40:48,913
You already passed it up.
1441
00:40:48,913 --> 00:40:49,680
All right.
1442
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:51,682
Let's go back up.
1443
00:40:51,682 --> 00:40:53,150
Okay, So I talked about
1444
00:40:53,150 --> 00:40:55,553
bringing your lunch to work
1445
00:40:55,553 --> 00:40:56,554
back in the Oakland Hills.
1446
00:40:56,554 --> 00:40:57,254
Anybody was a floor
1447
00:40:57,254 --> 00:40:58,656
contractor in the nineties.
1448
00:40:58,656 --> 00:40:59,457
Well, remember this?
1449
00:40:59,457 --> 00:41:00,791
That there was a massive fire,
1450
00:41:00,791 --> 00:41:02,026
neocolonialism.
1451
00:41:02,026 --> 00:41:02,293
You know,
1452
00:41:02,293 --> 00:41:02,860
they get the Santa
1453
00:41:02,860 --> 00:41:04,161
Ana winds in California
1454
00:41:04,161 --> 00:41:06,330
every year or so, and.
1455
00:41:06,330 --> 00:41:09,333
And it's very hot and really windy.
1456
00:41:09,733 --> 00:41:12,403
It was a fire and it ate fire with you.
1457
00:41:12,403 --> 00:41:15,406
And I wiped out about 3500 homes.
1458
00:41:15,473 --> 00:41:16,907
So all the homes in this area
1459
00:41:16,907 --> 00:41:18,309
were completely destroyed.
1460
00:41:18,309 --> 00:41:18,976
And these are homes
1461
00:41:18,976 --> 00:41:20,211
that were up in the hills that, you know,
1462
00:41:20,211 --> 00:41:21,479
really very nice.
1463
00:41:21,479 --> 00:41:22,346
It's a common neighborhood.
1464
00:41:22,346 --> 00:41:24,148
You want to trick or treat it right.
1465
00:41:24,148 --> 00:41:26,116
Really nice, fancy homes,
1466
00:41:26,116 --> 00:41:27,218
but they're integrated into
1467
00:41:27,218 --> 00:41:29,119
the hills and everything. So
1468
00:41:31,455 --> 00:41:32,356
when we were doing
1469
00:41:32,356 --> 00:41:32,857
work up
1470
00:41:32,857 --> 00:41:34,425
there after the fire, there was
1471
00:41:34,425 --> 00:41:35,960
it was like a sea of construction workers
1472
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:36,760
everywhere, right?
1473
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:37,561
I mean, every
1474
00:41:37,561 --> 00:41:38,195
I mean, every house
1475
00:41:38,195 --> 00:41:39,330
had being rebuilt from scratch.
1476
00:41:39,330 --> 00:41:41,365
You can imagine the chaos.
1477
00:41:41,365 --> 00:41:43,234
And we're working at the top of the hill.
1478
00:41:43,234 --> 00:41:46,237
To go down the hill to lunch and back
1479
00:41:46,237 --> 00:41:47,905
would have been over an hour trip
1480
00:41:47,905 --> 00:41:49,540
with all the chaos that was going on.
1481
00:41:49,540 --> 00:41:51,408
And I had four or five guys
1482
00:41:51,408 --> 00:41:52,810
on the job at the time.
1483
00:41:52,810 --> 00:41:53,911
And the young kids,
1484
00:41:53,911 --> 00:41:55,379
they didn't realize that, Man, I'm
1485
00:41:55,379 --> 00:41:56,313
going to lose these guys
1486
00:41:56,313 --> 00:41:57,948
for an hour and a half
1487
00:41:57,948 --> 00:41:59,016
and I can't afford that.
1488
00:41:59,016 --> 00:42:00,251
I said, So look,
1489
00:42:00,251 --> 00:42:01,685
just tell me what you I go down against,
1490
00:42:01,685 --> 00:42:02,486
get a piece or something.
1491
00:42:02,486 --> 00:42:04,955
I'll be back as quick as I can.
1492
00:42:04,955 --> 00:42:05,789
I leave the house.
1493
00:42:05,789 --> 00:42:07,491
I go down about two,
1494
00:42:07,491 --> 00:42:10,494
maybe two houses in my in my van.
1495
00:42:10,594 --> 00:42:11,962
I see a pizza delivery guy
1496
00:42:11,962 --> 00:42:13,664
looking for addresses.
1497
00:42:13,664 --> 00:42:14,598
Now, you can't really make
1498
00:42:14,598 --> 00:42:15,599
out the address anymore
1499
00:42:15,599 --> 00:42:17,401
because they're all new homes, right?
1500
00:42:17,401 --> 00:42:18,235
So I roll down the window
1501
00:42:18,235 --> 00:42:19,303
and I said, Were they all you been?
1502
00:42:20,271 --> 00:42:22,439
He goes, I couldn't get up here, man.
1503
00:42:22,439 --> 00:42:23,741
I mean, there's, you know, the traffic,
1504
00:42:23,741 --> 00:42:24,675
blah, blah, blah.
1505
00:42:24,675 --> 00:42:25,743
It's right there. It's all right.
1506
00:42:25,743 --> 00:42:26,677
Don't worry about.
1507
00:42:26,677 --> 00:42:28,412
So I grabbed my van and went over
1508
00:42:28,412 --> 00:42:30,648
you hand me three pizzas,
1509
00:42:30,648 --> 00:42:31,782
some big
1510
00:42:31,782 --> 00:42:33,584
two liter Cokes or whatever they are.
1511
00:42:33,584 --> 00:42:34,418
I gave him the money.
1512
00:42:34,418 --> 00:42:35,152
I was back in the house
1513
00:42:35,152 --> 00:42:38,155
like 5 minutes and
1514
00:42:38,956 --> 00:42:41,926
that was like the best for me, you know?
1515
00:42:41,926 --> 00:42:43,594
You know, somebody get screwed. But.
1516
00:42:43,594 --> 00:42:44,895
But how nice is that
1517
00:42:44,895 --> 00:42:45,663
man that I didn't
1518
00:42:45,663 --> 00:42:48,666
get to waste all that time with the guys?
1519
00:42:48,866 --> 00:42:50,401
You stole somebody else's pizza,
1520
00:42:50,401 --> 00:42:52,102
but you paid for it. I paid for it.
1521
00:42:52,102 --> 00:42:54,271
You paid for it? I paid. So. Exactly.
1522
00:42:54,271 --> 00:42:56,974
Yeah. Okay. Yeah. All right.
1523
00:42:56,974 --> 00:42:58,776
Yeah. All right. He didn't pay for it.
1524
00:42:58,776 --> 00:43:00,277
I was out.
1525
00:43:00,277 --> 00:43:00,911
All right?
1526
00:43:00,911 --> 00:43:02,179
You pay for it. So you're good.
1527
00:43:02,179 --> 00:43:04,949
Yeah. Jaglom end of the day ritual.
1528
00:43:04,949 --> 00:43:06,150
I think you have to have one.
1529
00:43:06,150 --> 00:43:07,351
I go through and
1530
00:43:08,285 --> 00:43:08,953
I make a note.
1531
00:43:08,953 --> 00:43:09,987
I want the job site
1532
00:43:09,987 --> 00:43:11,555
at the end of every job.
1533
00:43:11,555 --> 00:43:13,090
And what am I going to need for the day?
1534
00:43:13,090 --> 00:43:14,224
I mean, if I thought about
1535
00:43:14,224 --> 00:43:15,893
if I thought ahead and I plan properly,
1536
00:43:15,893 --> 00:43:17,494
I probably don't need anything
1537
00:43:17,494 --> 00:43:19,029
but always important to work
1538
00:43:19,029 --> 00:43:22,032
that job site so you don't lose time,
1539
00:43:23,367 --> 00:43:24,134
you know,
1540
00:43:24,134 --> 00:43:25,235
having to run to a distributor
1541
00:43:25,235 --> 00:43:27,271
or something like that or hardware store.
1542
00:43:27,271 --> 00:43:28,872
If you didn't have any of that,
1543
00:43:28,872 --> 00:43:29,940
what you needed on the job.
1544
00:43:29,940 --> 00:43:31,542
So
1545
00:43:31,542 --> 00:43:33,110
definitely a walk in the job
1546
00:43:33,110 --> 00:43:33,744
and taking notes
1547
00:43:33,744 --> 00:43:35,145
after every after every day.
1548
00:43:35,145 --> 00:43:37,014
And by the way, to
1549
00:43:37,014 --> 00:43:40,017
taking notes on on the jobs, if I
1550
00:43:40,017 --> 00:43:41,251
what I pay the job for
1551
00:43:41,251 --> 00:43:42,753
and how much itemize
1552
00:43:42,753 --> 00:43:44,488
every job at the end of every job
1553
00:43:44,488 --> 00:43:45,723
is how we did on it.
1554
00:43:45,723 --> 00:43:46,991
I think you have to do that.
1555
00:43:46,991 --> 00:43:47,858
You can't get in the habit
1556
00:43:47,858 --> 00:43:49,360
of being too busy
1557
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:50,995
to actually go through every single job
1558
00:43:50,995 --> 00:43:52,363
and itemize everything
1559
00:43:52,363 --> 00:43:53,864
and and how you did it,
1560
00:43:53,864 --> 00:43:54,098
you know,
1561
00:43:54,098 --> 00:43:54,598
the margin
1562
00:43:54,598 --> 00:43:55,399
you made on the job
1563
00:43:55,399 --> 00:43:56,233
and what you did it for
1564
00:43:56,233 --> 00:43:59,336
and evaluate yourself on every job,
1565
00:43:59,837 --> 00:44:01,038
I think that's important, too.
1566
00:44:01,038 --> 00:44:01,538
I think that
1567
00:44:01,538 --> 00:44:03,374
that has to become having to get better.
1568
00:44:03,374 --> 00:44:04,975
It can't be just routine.
1569
00:44:04,975 --> 00:44:06,644
You go out and, you know, whatever.
1570
00:44:06,644 --> 00:44:08,045
I think you have to be very
1571
00:44:08,045 --> 00:44:08,912
analytical about it.
1572
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,017
And every job I sit down and I what?
1573
00:44:13,017 --> 00:44:14,151
How did we do?
1574
00:44:14,151 --> 00:44:16,920
How could I have done better than I did
1575
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:18,188
by being me,
1576
00:44:18,188 --> 00:44:19,657
the expectations of what I was
1577
00:44:19,657 --> 00:44:20,991
that I was going to make on the job.
1578
00:44:20,991 --> 00:44:22,693
I think you have to do that.
1579
00:44:22,693 --> 00:44:24,094
Did you do that?
1580
00:44:24,094 --> 00:44:26,363
Did you do that, or was that a habit
1581
00:44:26,363 --> 00:44:27,364
you wish you had done?
1582
00:44:27,364 --> 00:44:29,066
No, we did.
1583
00:44:29,066 --> 00:44:30,367
Listen, especially the last
1584
00:44:30,367 --> 00:44:31,835
ten years of the job or whatever.
1585
00:44:31,835 --> 00:44:34,705
I mean, I made a habit of it
1586
00:44:34,705 --> 00:44:36,640
because I realized, that's great.
1587
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:37,174
Yeah.
1588
00:44:37,174 --> 00:44:39,109
You have to do.
1589
00:44:39,109 --> 00:44:39,877
Otherwise you're
1590
00:44:39,877 --> 00:44:40,944
kind of flying in the wind.
1591
00:44:40,944 --> 00:44:42,212
You're thinking what you're making.
1592
00:44:42,212 --> 00:44:43,614
But sometimes that doesn't
1593
00:44:43,614 --> 00:44:45,416
the reality doesn't match up.
1594
00:44:45,416 --> 00:44:47,751
So we've nothing to chance.
1595
00:44:47,751 --> 00:44:51,722
A big crazy habit of mine that I just.
1596
00:44:52,122 --> 00:44:52,923
I don't know.
1597
00:44:52,923 --> 00:44:54,358
Some of these habits are almost
1598
00:44:55,426 --> 00:44:58,429
anal, but I never started
1599
00:44:58,762 --> 00:45:01,765
a fresh joke in the middle of a room.
1600
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:04,535
I always had enough
1601
00:45:04,535 --> 00:45:06,203
to get through an entire room,
1602
00:45:06,203 --> 00:45:08,439
whether as you can stay or finish
1603
00:45:08,439 --> 00:45:10,874
or whatever. I never.
1604
00:45:10,874 --> 00:45:11,909
I always made sure
1605
00:45:11,909 --> 00:45:13,644
that I would never run out
1606
00:45:13,644 --> 00:45:14,511
halfway through a room
1607
00:45:14,511 --> 00:45:15,879
and then had to start something
1608
00:45:15,879 --> 00:45:16,847
new, a new job
1609
00:45:16,847 --> 00:45:19,883
or a new a new stain or whatever.
1610
00:45:19,883 --> 00:45:22,886
I always had enough to
1611
00:45:22,986 --> 00:45:25,622
just because of sheen levels, colors,
1612
00:45:25,622 --> 00:45:26,457
you name it,
1613
00:45:26,457 --> 00:45:27,624
whatever could go wrong
1614
00:45:27,624 --> 00:45:29,359
sometimes would go wrong.
1615
00:45:29,359 --> 00:45:30,861
So was always hedging my best.
1616
00:45:30,861 --> 00:45:32,830
But that was one of my big time
1617
00:45:32,830 --> 00:45:34,198
habits, was
1618
00:45:34,198 --> 00:45:37,201
really being maniacal about that.
1619
00:45:38,702 --> 00:45:41,038
This job can get you in so many ways
1620
00:45:41,038 --> 00:45:42,306
that, you know,
1621
00:45:42,306 --> 00:45:44,374
these these small little details,
1622
00:45:44,374 --> 00:45:46,343
Ed, the huge details.
1623
00:45:46,343 --> 00:45:48,212
And so all of these things that
1624
00:45:48,212 --> 00:45:48,879
that you can put on
1625
00:45:48,879 --> 00:45:51,315
your side of the equation and this this,
1626
00:45:51,315 --> 00:45:51,815
you know,
1627
00:45:51,815 --> 00:45:53,417
can make your life so much easier.
1628
00:45:53,417 --> 00:45:56,019
And it really a lot of what it is, is
1629
00:45:56,019 --> 00:45:57,187
so much of it is just thinking
1630
00:45:57,187 --> 00:46:00,057
ahead a little bit and planning it out.
1631
00:46:00,057 --> 00:46:00,724
And you're right.
1632
00:46:00,724 --> 00:46:02,793
I mean, batching the finish together
1633
00:46:02,793 --> 00:46:05,062
when all the pieces together, as we say,
1634
00:46:05,062 --> 00:46:06,663
is is very important
1635
00:46:06,663 --> 00:46:08,332
and especially on a big open room
1636
00:46:08,332 --> 00:46:10,434
with a lot of windows and everything,
1637
00:46:10,434 --> 00:46:11,135
that you just can't
1638
00:46:11,135 --> 00:46:13,303
leave anything to chance. Yeah.
1639
00:46:13,303 --> 00:46:16,106
So well I was that was another
1640
00:46:16,106 --> 00:46:16,640
one of my
1641
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:17,741
and you would just say it, you
1642
00:46:17,741 --> 00:46:19,276
know having a plan that was
1643
00:46:20,511 --> 00:46:21,311
Yeah, yeah.
1644
00:46:21,311 --> 00:46:21,812
If you're just
1645
00:46:21,812 --> 00:46:22,946
doing a living room, dining room
1646
00:46:22,946 --> 00:46:24,515
and not much of a plan
1647
00:46:24,515 --> 00:46:25,816
you're going to need.
1648
00:46:25,816 --> 00:46:26,650
But when you're doing
1649
00:46:26,650 --> 00:46:27,818
eight or nine rooms,
1650
00:46:27,818 --> 00:46:30,454
a couple of floors, stairs,
1651
00:46:30,454 --> 00:46:33,557
I always really started to map
1652
00:46:33,557 --> 00:46:34,158
things out,
1653
00:46:34,158 --> 00:46:36,093
sit down, draw it out
1654
00:46:36,093 --> 00:46:37,261
and really have a plan.
1655
00:46:37,261 --> 00:46:38,195
Because a lot of times
1656
00:46:38,195 --> 00:46:40,264
when I would sit down and draw it out,
1657
00:46:40,264 --> 00:46:41,331
you know,
1658
00:46:41,331 --> 00:46:43,901
you're always thinking, well, you
1659
00:46:43,901 --> 00:46:44,635
you've been doing this
1660
00:46:44,635 --> 00:46:46,270
since you were a kid.
1661
00:46:46,270 --> 00:46:47,037
All right?
1662
00:46:47,037 --> 00:46:48,105
So you just kind of walk in
1663
00:46:48,105 --> 00:46:49,673
and start doing it.
1664
00:46:49,673 --> 00:46:50,474
It was amazing
1665
00:46:50,474 --> 00:46:52,342
how many times when I really sat down
1666
00:46:52,342 --> 00:46:53,911
and made a plan
1667
00:46:53,911 --> 00:46:55,712
and I completely would go
1668
00:46:55,712 --> 00:46:57,080
in a different direction
1669
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:57,714
to make sure
1670
00:46:57,714 --> 00:47:00,717
that everything came together.
1671
00:47:00,918 --> 00:47:02,786
So
1672
00:47:02,786 --> 00:47:04,454
the the
1673
00:47:04,454 --> 00:47:05,756
the longer I was in this,
1674
00:47:05,756 --> 00:47:06,123
and especially
1675
00:47:06,123 --> 00:47:07,925
when I was working by myself,
1676
00:47:07,925 --> 00:47:10,394
I think here's the thing
1677
00:47:10,394 --> 00:47:11,929
is that you have to get every
1678
00:47:11,929 --> 00:47:12,963
you have to get something
1679
00:47:12,963 --> 00:47:14,364
out of every job,
1680
00:47:14,364 --> 00:47:16,099
you know, like what's the lesson?
1681
00:47:16,099 --> 00:47:17,734
It seems like a razzle dazzle job,
1682
00:47:17,734 --> 00:47:18,769
you see, like, okay, this
1683
00:47:18,769 --> 00:47:19,803
this was it really, you
1684
00:47:19,803 --> 00:47:20,804
know, this one doesn't really
1685
00:47:21,805 --> 00:47:23,674
tax me because I know all these things.
1686
00:47:23,674 --> 00:47:26,643
I I've done this job 100 times, right?
1687
00:47:26,643 --> 00:47:27,010
Yeah.
1688
00:47:27,010 --> 00:47:30,013
That's why I've done this 100 times.
1689
00:47:30,247 --> 00:47:31,982
But you have to get something
1690
00:47:31,982 --> 00:47:33,083
out of every job.
1691
00:47:33,083 --> 00:47:34,685
I really believe that.
1692
00:47:34,685 --> 00:47:35,953
Financially. Of course. Yes.
1693
00:47:35,953 --> 00:47:36,753
And what did I learn
1694
00:47:36,753 --> 00:47:38,355
on the business side of this?
1695
00:47:38,355 --> 00:47:39,289
That I could I,
1696
00:47:39,289 --> 00:47:42,292
you know, even to the point where
1697
00:47:43,260 --> 00:47:45,028
it's a 400 square foot job.
1698
00:47:45,028 --> 00:47:45,362
All right.
1699
00:47:45,362 --> 00:47:47,064
So I told her we could do
1700
00:47:47,064 --> 00:47:48,131
the three quarter
1701
00:47:48,131 --> 00:47:48,832
and finish standard
1702
00:47:48,832 --> 00:47:50,367
phase, blah, blah, blah.
1703
00:47:50,367 --> 00:47:52,369
Or should I have told her
1704
00:47:52,369 --> 00:47:53,570
refinish is the way to go?
1705
00:47:53,570 --> 00:47:55,372
Because if you any small jobs,
1706
00:47:55,372 --> 00:47:55,873
if you started
1707
00:47:55,873 --> 00:47:56,673
adding it up,
1708
00:47:56,673 --> 00:47:58,308
the amount of trips, returns, whatever,
1709
00:47:58,308 --> 00:47:59,943
maybe it makes more sense for refinish.
1710
00:47:59,943 --> 00:48:04,081
For as much as I'm a solid or solid
1711
00:48:04,114 --> 00:48:06,116
engineer now, but an unfinished guy
1712
00:48:06,116 --> 00:48:07,384
had it finished
1713
00:48:07,384 --> 00:48:09,186
maybe on a 300 square foot job.
1714
00:48:09,186 --> 00:48:09,653
I should did
1715
00:48:09,653 --> 00:48:11,655
all those is a pre finished job?
1716
00:48:11,655 --> 00:48:12,823
Yeah. I'm saying yeah.
1717
00:48:12,823 --> 00:48:14,491
So I am.
1718
00:48:14,491 --> 00:48:15,325
And I have to get
1719
00:48:15,325 --> 00:48:17,227
something out of every single job.
1720
00:48:17,227 --> 00:48:18,929
I have to learn something
1721
00:48:18,929 --> 00:48:20,163
and that's what I mean today. Yeah.
1722
00:48:20,163 --> 00:48:22,366
I mean, you know, I also think that
1723
00:48:24,034 --> 00:48:25,535
I guess I'm a really an optimist
1724
00:48:25,535 --> 00:48:27,137
because I think every day
1725
00:48:27,137 --> 00:48:29,673
is got to be better than the day before.
1726
00:48:29,673 --> 00:48:30,207
As much.
1727
00:48:30,207 --> 00:48:31,475
I really am.
1728
00:48:31,475 --> 00:48:33,277
I mean, to me,
1729
00:48:33,277 --> 00:48:34,811
you got to get something out of it.
1730
00:48:34,811 --> 00:48:36,680
It's got to be better than yesterday.
1731
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:38,682
You just call yourself an optimist.
1732
00:48:38,682 --> 00:48:41,018
I am 100% an optimist.
1733
00:48:41,018 --> 00:48:43,687
Wow I wasn't 100% an optimist.
1734
00:48:43,687 --> 00:48:45,088
Absolutely. I'm a realist, though.
1735
00:48:45,088 --> 00:48:46,690
That's the day I.
1736
00:48:46,690 --> 00:48:48,725
I'm. You're a realist optimist.
1737
00:48:48,725 --> 00:48:50,594
Yeah, I'm a real optimist.
1738
00:48:50,594 --> 00:48:52,496
You're a real
1739
00:48:52,496 --> 00:48:54,197
realistic optimist.
1740
00:48:54,197 --> 00:48:55,565
Yes.
1741
00:48:55,565 --> 00:48:57,067
But you've got to get something
1742
00:48:57,067 --> 00:48:58,235
out of every every job.
1743
00:48:58,235 --> 00:48:59,670
You have to learn something from it.
1744
00:48:59,670 --> 00:49:00,604
It can't just be.
1745
00:49:00,604 --> 00:49:02,172
I can't be in the trade
1746
00:49:02,172 --> 00:49:02,973
that I just got to go
1747
00:49:02,973 --> 00:49:03,974
through the motions or whatever,
1748
00:49:03,974 --> 00:49:05,309
and I don't get something from it.
1749
00:49:05,309 --> 00:49:06,677
I've gotta learn something from it.
1750
00:49:06,677 --> 00:49:07,477
I got to get better.
1751
00:49:08,612 --> 00:49:09,980
And that's just the person.
1752
00:49:09,980 --> 00:49:11,148
I mean,
1753
00:49:11,148 --> 00:49:11,648
you know,
1754
00:49:11,648 --> 00:49:13,116
you can go through it like you're
1755
00:49:13,116 --> 00:49:13,850
mowing along,
1756
00:49:13,850 --> 00:49:15,385
you know, just walking by in this area
1757
00:49:15,385 --> 00:49:16,353
where and you know, you're not,
1758
00:49:16,353 --> 00:49:17,587
you're not paying attention to it
1759
00:49:17,587 --> 00:49:19,356
or or you can read that floor
1760
00:49:19,356 --> 00:49:19,790
and it tells
1761
00:49:19,790 --> 00:49:21,625
you exactly what it really wants.
1762
00:49:21,625 --> 00:49:23,226
And yeah.
1763
00:49:23,226 --> 00:49:24,695
My dad had a guy in the crew.
1764
00:49:24,695 --> 00:49:26,463
His name was Charlie Durant,
1765
00:49:26,463 --> 00:49:29,433
and I think I've talked about him before.
1766
00:49:29,733 --> 00:49:31,802
He was really the trainer.
1767
00:49:31,802 --> 00:49:33,403
He was a guy who trained everybody
1768
00:49:33,403 --> 00:49:34,538
on how to load the paper,
1769
00:49:34,538 --> 00:49:36,006
how to run on the machine
1770
00:49:36,006 --> 00:49:37,140
edge, the whole deal.
1771
00:49:37,140 --> 00:49:40,143
He was the trainer and
1772
00:49:40,811 --> 00:49:42,746
after your first day
1773
00:49:42,746 --> 00:49:45,615
of working with Charlie,
1774
00:49:45,615 --> 00:49:46,550
at the end of the day,
1775
00:49:46,550 --> 00:49:48,952
he would walk up to you and tell you,
1776
00:49:48,952 --> 00:49:52,356
do not become a robot when you're sanded.
1777
00:49:52,856 --> 00:49:54,191
Okay?
1778
00:49:54,191 --> 00:49:54,725
He goes,
1779
00:49:54,725 --> 00:49:56,493
This is he goes, Even though it's
1780
00:49:58,228 --> 00:49:59,363
the same motion
1781
00:49:59,363 --> 00:50:01,398
over and over and over and over,
1782
00:50:01,398 --> 00:50:03,467
he goes, You cannot be a robot.
1783
00:50:03,467 --> 00:50:04,968
You have to look at every pass.
1784
00:50:04,968 --> 00:50:07,437
You have to look at every single thing.
1785
00:50:07,437 --> 00:50:10,140
Every time you move the machine or
1786
00:50:10,140 --> 00:50:13,310
do whatever, it's it's a new pass.
1787
00:50:13,677 --> 00:50:15,912
And you have to look at it like that.
1788
00:50:15,912 --> 00:50:17,581
Look you so right.
1789
00:50:17,581 --> 00:50:19,483
So let's let's take that step further.
1790
00:50:19,483 --> 00:50:20,017
So let's say
1791
00:50:20,017 --> 00:50:21,485
you didn't do what I'm saying.
1792
00:50:21,485 --> 00:50:21,985
Let's say
1793
00:50:21,985 --> 00:50:22,953
that you're
1794
00:50:22,953 --> 00:50:24,688
staying force for 20 years
1795
00:50:24,688 --> 00:50:27,157
and you stayed with the routine.
1796
00:50:27,157 --> 00:50:29,026
Look what's happened in the last
1797
00:50:29,026 --> 00:50:29,559
ten years
1798
00:50:29,559 --> 00:50:30,560
or so in the industry
1799
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:32,562
with the planetary machines,
1800
00:50:32,562 --> 00:50:33,563
the power drive,
1801
00:50:33,563 --> 00:50:35,799
with the finishes, with the craft oil,
1802
00:50:35,799 --> 00:50:36,933
with the vacuum systems
1803
00:50:36,933 --> 00:50:37,968
that are out there,
1804
00:50:37,968 --> 00:50:38,702
with the different
1805
00:50:38,702 --> 00:50:38,869
to the
1806
00:50:38,869 --> 00:50:40,037
sandpaper sequences
1807
00:50:40,037 --> 00:50:41,104
that are sandpaper, grit
1808
00:50:41,104 --> 00:50:42,739
and make up the sandpaper
1809
00:50:42,739 --> 00:50:43,540
that's out there today
1810
00:50:43,540 --> 00:50:44,775
versus the other day.
1811
00:50:44,775 --> 00:50:46,443
And look at all the different procedures
1812
00:50:46,443 --> 00:50:47,878
and now the expectations
1813
00:50:47,878 --> 00:50:49,413
they have for the planet.
1814
00:50:49,413 --> 00:50:50,580
Flat floors have to be
1815
00:50:51,948 --> 00:50:52,549
that different.
1816
00:50:52,549 --> 00:50:53,583
The rolling versus
1817
00:50:53,583 --> 00:50:54,918
T-bar versus the different.
1818
00:50:54,918 --> 00:50:56,486
There's so many ways
1819
00:50:56,486 --> 00:50:57,954
this trade has changed
1820
00:50:57,954 --> 00:50:59,189
that if you're not challenge
1821
00:50:59,189 --> 00:51:00,190
yourself on every job,
1822
00:51:00,190 --> 00:51:01,992
you're staying in that
1823
00:51:01,992 --> 00:51:03,693
in that the way that you do things.
1824
00:51:03,693 --> 00:51:05,062
I think that, you know,
1825
00:51:05,062 --> 00:51:07,097
you could say maybe the game badges you.
1826
00:51:07,097 --> 00:51:09,332
I want to do a flip side to this
1827
00:51:09,332 --> 00:51:12,335
is that there's there is a school of that
1828
00:51:12,335 --> 00:51:13,003
and I
1829
00:51:13,003 --> 00:51:14,805
you know I'm not judging them either
1830
00:51:14,805 --> 00:51:16,773
is that you know what
1831
00:51:16,773 --> 00:51:18,141
I've been doing for so long.
1832
00:51:18,141 --> 00:51:19,910
I do exactly the same way every time.
1833
00:51:19,910 --> 00:51:21,044
It is work every time.
1834
00:51:21,044 --> 00:51:22,579
And there's that school of thought.
1835
00:51:22,579 --> 00:51:24,881
So I'm not knocking those guys either.
1836
00:51:24,881 --> 00:51:26,016
Everybody has a different way
1837
00:51:26,016 --> 00:51:26,817
of looking at it,
1838
00:51:26,817 --> 00:51:28,485
but that's my way of looking at it.
1839
00:51:30,187 --> 00:51:32,456
The
1840
00:51:32,456 --> 00:51:33,390
more you change, the
1841
00:51:33,390 --> 00:51:35,525
more money you're going to make.
1842
00:51:35,525 --> 00:51:36,660
Yeah,
1843
00:51:36,660 --> 00:51:38,361
I mean, there's some really cool ways
1844
00:51:38,361 --> 00:51:39,896
to make some money now,
1845
00:51:39,896 --> 00:51:42,666
and I see that with old timers.
1846
00:51:42,666 --> 00:51:43,600
You come to the school,
1847
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:44,434
it's like you were saying,
1848
00:51:44,434 --> 00:51:46,169
I've been doing it this way.
1849
00:51:46,169 --> 00:51:48,271
All the guys who come to the school,
1850
00:51:48,271 --> 00:51:49,706
I think they're getting some
1851
00:51:49,706 --> 00:51:51,975
they're getting a lot of new ways
1852
00:51:51,975 --> 00:51:54,845
to make a little extra money
1853
00:51:54,845 --> 00:51:56,113
just by new ideas.
1854
00:51:56,113 --> 00:51:57,747
Green Guard, gold
1855
00:51:57,747 --> 00:52:01,151
wire brushing your, using the, you know,
1856
00:52:01,218 --> 00:52:04,421
natural anti-slip, all that kind of stuff
1857
00:52:04,921 --> 00:52:06,790
where it,
1858
00:52:06,790 --> 00:52:08,458
you know, like you said,
1859
00:52:08,458 --> 00:52:10,327
might pass by some of the old timers.
1860
00:52:10,327 --> 00:52:11,061
But, boy,
1861
00:52:11,061 --> 00:52:13,230
boy, you're just passing out money.
1862
00:52:13,230 --> 00:52:15,699
Why don't we tell everybody one
1863
00:52:15,699 --> 00:52:18,502
What's your worst bad habits you do have?
1864
00:52:18,502 --> 00:52:19,803
I don't even need it.
1865
00:52:19,803 --> 00:52:21,671
Could be for anything.
1866
00:52:21,671 --> 00:52:22,305
Anything.
1867
00:52:22,305 --> 00:52:25,308
Whether it's work, personal, whatever.
1868
00:52:25,575 --> 00:52:26,977
What's your worst bad habit?
1869
00:52:28,745 --> 00:52:31,681
I've thought about this long and hard,
1870
00:52:31,681 --> 00:52:34,684
and I don't have any.
1871
00:52:38,455 --> 00:52:39,623
I don't.
1872
00:52:39,623 --> 00:52:42,626
I don't know if I have any bad habits.
1873
00:52:42,659 --> 00:52:44,261
You. I wish.
1874
00:52:44,261 --> 00:52:45,395
You had met my dad
1875
00:52:45,395 --> 00:52:48,398
because my dad used to tell everybody.
1876
00:52:48,532 --> 00:52:51,067
You can find me in the dictionary
1877
00:52:51,067 --> 00:52:54,070
under P for perfect.
1878
00:52:57,908 --> 00:52:59,509
I like your style.
1879
00:52:59,509 --> 00:53:00,410
All right. I don't know.
1880
00:53:00,410 --> 00:53:01,611
I have got something better,
1881
00:53:01,611 --> 00:53:02,646
but I don't know.
1882
00:53:02,646 --> 00:53:05,015
I probably too critical.
1883
00:53:05,015 --> 00:53:06,483
But
1884
00:53:06,483 --> 00:53:08,552
I will say this, though.
1885
00:53:08,552 --> 00:53:11,488
Atomic Habits is a great book
1886
00:53:11,488 --> 00:53:12,022
that I read.
1887
00:53:12,022 --> 00:53:14,391
I was by James Clear.
1888
00:53:14,391 --> 00:53:15,559
Atomic Habits
1889
00:53:15,559 --> 00:53:17,427
is a really eye opener
1890
00:53:17,427 --> 00:53:19,062
on how these little habits,
1891
00:53:19,062 --> 00:53:19,896
these little small
1892
00:53:19,896 --> 00:53:21,164
little small changes in life
1893
00:53:21,164 --> 00:53:22,465
make a big deal.
1894
00:53:22,465 --> 00:53:25,468
And I'll tell you, a habit that I met
1895
00:53:25,835 --> 00:53:27,237
on a podcast a while back and
1896
00:53:27,237 --> 00:53:28,672
I said that I went to the
1897
00:53:29,839 --> 00:53:30,740
went to the hotel and I
1898
00:53:30,740 --> 00:53:31,474
checked in the hotel
1899
00:53:31,474 --> 00:53:33,009
and I didn't have a toothbrush, whatever
1900
00:53:33,009 --> 00:53:33,743
I read telling you that.
1901
00:53:33,743 --> 00:53:34,311
And she said,
1902
00:53:34,311 --> 00:53:36,546
you look like a professional traveler,
1903
00:53:36,546 --> 00:53:37,147
and you're
1904
00:53:37,147 --> 00:53:38,682
for just a very small moment there.
1905
00:53:38,682 --> 00:53:40,317
I felt good about myself
1906
00:53:40,317 --> 00:53:43,053
and it occurred to me
1907
00:53:43,053 --> 00:53:44,955
how powerful words are
1908
00:53:44,955 --> 00:53:47,224
and how they can change a bad day
1909
00:53:47,224 --> 00:53:47,991
and a good day
1910
00:53:47,991 --> 00:53:49,893
or just a pat on the back for somebody,
1911
00:53:49,893 --> 00:53:51,194
for somebody up and coming
1912
00:53:51,194 --> 00:53:52,596
can mean the world to them.
1913
00:53:52,596 --> 00:53:54,264
Just one nice sentence.
1914
00:53:54,264 --> 00:53:56,466
So getting in the habit of
1915
00:53:56,466 --> 00:53:58,802
just just, just, you know, trying to be
1916
00:53:58,802 --> 00:54:00,003
a little bit nicer to somebody
1917
00:54:00,003 --> 00:54:01,104
or the guy you work with,
1918
00:54:01,104 --> 00:54:02,272
you know, Panama on the bags.
1919
00:54:02,272 --> 00:54:02,672
Hey, man,
1920
00:54:02,672 --> 00:54:03,807
appreciate everything you're doing
1921
00:54:03,807 --> 00:54:04,741
or whatever.
1922
00:54:04,741 --> 00:54:06,276
Just see someone struggling.
1923
00:54:06,276 --> 00:54:07,877
Just just know it.
1924
00:54:07,877 --> 00:54:09,145
Just all it takes is just a
1925
00:54:09,145 --> 00:54:10,247
one nice little thing.
1926
00:54:10,247 --> 00:54:11,314
It'll make your day better.
1927
00:54:11,314 --> 00:54:13,216
It'll make their day a whole lot better.
1928
00:54:13,216 --> 00:54:13,883
And.
1929
00:54:13,883 --> 00:54:14,784
And so there was a
1930
00:54:14,784 --> 00:54:16,553
there's a good habit, a lot
1931
00:54:16,553 --> 00:54:18,288
that I try to do.
1932
00:54:18,288 --> 00:54:19,222
And I'll leave you with.
1933
00:54:21,024 --> 00:54:23,493
So you're just trying to be more human?
1934
00:54:23,493 --> 00:54:24,194
Yeah.
1935
00:54:24,194 --> 00:54:25,595
So than.
1936
00:54:25,595 --> 00:54:26,896
Than the way you used to be.
1937
00:54:26,896 --> 00:54:28,531
Well, that's good. That's.
1938
00:54:28,531 --> 00:54:30,233
I'm glad you're joining us.
1939
00:54:30,233 --> 00:54:31,101
Yeah, I think. Yeah.
1940
00:54:31,101 --> 00:54:34,104
I don't know about you.
1941
00:54:35,005 --> 00:54:35,305
All right.
1942
00:54:35,305 --> 00:54:36,106
You got a bad habit.
1943
00:54:36,106 --> 00:54:37,540
What's your worst habit?
1944
00:54:37,540 --> 00:54:41,111
my worst habit is staying up until 2:00
1945
00:54:41,111 --> 00:54:41,778
in the morning
1946
00:54:41,778 --> 00:54:45,282
watching movies that I've seen 100 times.
1947
00:54:45,282 --> 00:54:48,285
I can break this habit.
1948
00:54:48,351 --> 00:54:52,255
It drives me crazy, drives me crazy.
1949
00:54:52,255 --> 00:54:54,457
But I. I don't know what.
1950
00:54:54,457 --> 00:54:55,925
I don't know what it is. I can't.
1951
00:54:55,925 --> 00:54:58,128
I can't stop.
1952
00:54:58,128 --> 00:54:59,262
Well, people
1953
00:54:59,262 --> 00:54:59,963

1954
00:54:59,963 --> 00:55:02,766
really enjoy movies like that love life.
1955
00:55:02,766 --> 00:55:03,700
So You know what?
1956
00:55:03,700 --> 00:55:05,135
Maybe
1957
00:55:05,135 --> 00:55:06,636
that's not such a bad habit.
1958
00:55:06,636 --> 00:55:08,004
So that's not a bad habit.
1959
00:55:08,004 --> 00:55:08,672

00:55:08,672 --> 00:55:10,807
