2

00:00:11,378 --> 00:00:12,712

Hello and welcome to another episode

 

3

00:00:12,712 --> 00:00:13,947

of On the Floor with Wayne and Rob.

 

4

00:00:13,947 --> 00:00:15,515

I'm Wayne Highlander, national sales

 

5

00:00:15,515 --> 00:00:16,950

manager for Bowen Adhesives,

 

6

00:00:16,950 --> 00:00:18,018

and I'm Rob Johnson.

 

7

00:00:18,018 --> 00:00:20,020

Thing only training.

 

8

00:00:20,020 --> 00:00:22,222

Well, Rob good afternoon.

 

9

00:00:22,222 --> 00:00:23,857

Wayne. How you doing, buddy?

 

10

00:00:23,857 --> 00:00:26,192

The. Well, excellent.

 

11

00:00:26,192 --> 00:00:26,559

Rob.

 

12

00:00:26,559 --> 00:00:29,462

We, we always, we don't always,

 

13

00:00:29,462 --> 00:00:30,196

but we do.

 

14

00:00:30,196 --> 00:00:31,131

We talk obviously

 

15

00:00:31,131 --> 00:00:33,033

a lot about hardwood floors

 

16

00:00:33,033 --> 00:00:34,000

and the different components

 

17

00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,269

of hardwood floors and what have you, but

 

18

00:00:36,269 --> 00:00:36,936

I don't know

 

19

00:00:36,936 --> 00:00:39,939

if we've ever actually talked about the,

 

20

00:00:39,939 --> 00:00:42,909

the wood substrates in particular

 

21

00:00:43,643 --> 00:00:45,311

on

 

22

00:00:45,311 --> 00:00:47,047

the show.

 

23

00:00:47,047 --> 00:00:49,816

So let's talk about some floors.

 

24

00:00:49,816 --> 00:00:51,017

A lot of people say

 

25

00:00:51,017 --> 00:00:54,020

that's not a very sexy topic, but

 

26

00:00:55,321 --> 00:00:57,123

they have no idea.

 

27

00:00:57,123 --> 00:01:01,361

So Highlander can do with any blood fan.

 

28

00:01:01,361 --> 00:01:02,295

What do you call panty

 

29

00:01:02,295 --> 00:01:04,531

drop and blue eyes of yours? Yes.

 

30

00:01:04,531 --> 00:01:04,998

Thank you.

 

31

00:01:04,998 --> 00:01:07,167

You can make anything sexy.

 

32

00:01:07,167 --> 00:01:08,535

So here you go.

 

33

00:01:08,535 --> 00:01:10,170

Here's your shot.

 

34

00:01:10,170 --> 00:01:12,772

You're going to make some floor sexy.

 

35

00:01:12,772 --> 00:01:14,541

So as I turn down the lights,

 

36

00:01:15,575 --> 00:01:16,910

you just put that all on me.

 

37

00:01:16,910 --> 00:01:18,278

Turn down the music.

 

38

00:01:18,278 --> 00:01:19,979

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

 

39

00:01:19,979 --> 00:01:21,815

You wised off at the last show.

 

40

00:01:21,815 --> 00:01:22,816

So now.

 

41

00:01:22,816 --> 00:01:23,483

Okay.

 

42

00:01:23,483 --> 00:01:26,486

It's all about Wayne.

 

43

00:01:26,653 --> 00:01:28,822

Well, okay.

 

44

00:01:28,822 --> 00:01:30,256

Tell her about Wayne.

 

45

00:01:30,256 --> 00:01:31,758

Thank you.

 

46

00:01:31,758 --> 00:01:34,761

But Wayne's World, we're all in it.

 

47

00:01:35,061 --> 00:01:37,730

You know, I was thinking, Rob, that,

 

48

00:01:37,730 --> 00:01:39,199

if you think of all the things

 

49

00:01:39,199 --> 00:01:40,533

that absolutely affect

 

50

00:01:40,533 --> 00:01:42,502

your new floor installation,

 

51

00:01:42,502 --> 00:01:45,271

that you did not touch it, you did not,

 

52

00:01:45,271 --> 00:01:46,272

you know,

 

53

00:01:46,272 --> 00:01:47,907

you had nothing to do with it,

 

54

00:01:47,907 --> 00:01:50,243

but it can absolutely call you,

 

55

00:01:50,243 --> 00:01:52,011

get you drawn into a callback

 

56

00:01:52,011 --> 00:01:53,379

or complaint

 

57

00:01:53,379 --> 00:01:54,814

at the very top of that list.

 

58

00:01:54,814 --> 00:01:57,283

I think you have to talk about some.

 

59

00:01:57,283 --> 00:01:57,951

Yeah, I didn't

 

60

00:01:57,951 --> 00:01:59,686

and you didn't select this up for

 

61

00:01:59,686 --> 00:02:01,154

you didn't install the subfloor,

 

62

00:02:01,154 --> 00:02:02,622

you didn't nail it or,

 

63

00:02:03,590 --> 00:02:04,124

properly or

 

64

00:02:04,124 --> 00:02:05,258

improperly, and

 

65

00:02:05,258 --> 00:02:07,727

you didn't protect it from the elements.

 

66

00:02:07,727 --> 00:02:08,828

But you know, you're finished

 

67

00:02:08,828 --> 00:02:09,562

for is only as good

 

68

00:02:09,562 --> 00:02:11,498

as your subfloor beneath it. Right?

 

69

00:02:11,498 --> 00:02:13,833

It is what it is.

 

70

00:02:13,833 --> 00:02:14,334

Yep.

 

71

00:02:14,334 --> 00:02:15,401

If you got a substandard

 

72

00:02:15,401 --> 00:02:17,237

floor, it'll create problems.

 

73

00:02:17,237 --> 00:02:19,005

And,

 

74

00:02:19,005 --> 00:02:20,106

long term problems

 

75

00:02:20,106 --> 00:02:21,608

and user dissatisfaction

 

76

00:02:21,608 --> 00:02:22,642

and all kinds of things.

 

77

00:02:22,642 --> 00:02:24,477

And, I said it's,

 

78

00:02:24,477 --> 00:02:26,079

something that it's amazing

 

79

00:02:26,079 --> 00:02:28,348

how many things that affect us

 

80

00:02:28,348 --> 00:02:30,917

in our little niche of that,

 

81

00:02:30,917 --> 00:02:32,218

construction world

 

82

00:02:32,218 --> 00:02:34,254

that we don't have any, concrete

 

83

00:02:34,254 --> 00:02:35,488

same way.

 

84

00:02:35,488 --> 00:02:36,122

You know, you don't.

 

85

00:02:36,122 --> 00:02:37,357

We didn't pour the concrete.

 

86

00:02:37,357 --> 00:02:38,758

We don't know what the see is

 

87

00:02:38,758 --> 00:02:39,425

that concrete.

 

88

00:02:39,425 --> 00:02:41,060

We don't know what the moisture content.

 

89

00:02:41,060 --> 00:02:42,228

Yeah, because lunatics

 

90

00:02:42,228 --> 00:02:44,297

like you used to spray it down with water

 

91

00:02:44,297 --> 00:02:45,698

because you wanted to make your life

 

92

00:02:45,698 --> 00:02:48,134

easier. You're supposed to do that.

 

93

00:02:51,738 --> 00:02:52,972

But you know what I mean.

 

94

00:02:52,972 --> 00:02:53,339

Like you

 

95

00:02:53,339 --> 00:02:55,108

say, if we don't tested or whatever,

 

96

00:02:55,108 --> 00:02:56,709

if we don't, you know, do our thing.

 

97

00:02:56,709 --> 00:02:58,244

But, there's so many things.

 

98

00:02:58,244 --> 00:02:59,812

The Hvac on off

 

99

00:02:59,812 --> 00:03:02,382

or running up and running or not,

 

100

00:03:02,382 --> 00:03:03,550

you know, the other trades,

 

101

00:03:03,550 --> 00:03:05,018

everything affects us.

 

102

00:03:05,018 --> 00:03:05,785

And, there's

 

103

00:03:05,785 --> 00:03:07,086

a lot of almost comes down

 

104

00:03:07,086 --> 00:03:09,489

to the flooring contractor,

 

105

00:03:09,489 --> 00:03:12,125

but sub floors is a big one.

 

106

00:03:12,125 --> 00:03:13,426

So, you know,

 

107

00:03:13,426 --> 00:03:14,761

when it comes to building assets,

 

108

00:03:14,761 --> 00:03:16,796

some of the most valuable

 

109

00:03:16,796 --> 00:03:19,032

parts of that home are covered.

 

110

00:03:19,032 --> 00:03:20,300

You'll never see them.

 

111

00:03:20,300 --> 00:03:22,802

And that's the case with the, sub force.

 

112

00:03:22,802 --> 00:03:25,405

So,

 

113

00:03:25,405 --> 00:03:26,739

well,

 

114

00:03:26,739 --> 00:03:28,875

talking about sub floors,

 

115

00:03:28,875 --> 00:03:30,276

my brother years ago

 

116

00:03:30,276 --> 00:03:31,077

built a house

 

117

00:03:31,077 --> 00:03:33,112

in one of the nicest

 

118

00:03:33,112 --> 00:03:34,380

neighborhoods in his town.

 

119

00:03:34,380 --> 00:03:37,317

He does very well for himself and

 

120

00:03:37,317 --> 00:03:38,851

he built,

 

121

00:03:38,851 --> 00:03:40,887

or, you know, had a builder build him

 

122

00:03:40,887 --> 00:03:43,957

just a phenomenal house, like I said,

 

123

00:03:44,324 --> 00:03:46,059

and one of the best neighborhoods.

 

124

00:03:46,059 --> 00:03:49,062

And one day he called me up there

 

125

00:03:49,062 --> 00:03:51,664

and they were getting ready to, you know,

 

126

00:03:51,664 --> 00:03:53,433

it was almost over.

 

127

00:03:53,433 --> 00:03:54,968

They were doing the floors.

 

128

00:03:54,968 --> 00:03:56,069

They wouldn't allow me to

 

129

00:03:56,069 --> 00:03:57,937

do the floors because

 

130

00:03:59,772 --> 00:04:01,641

I didn't work for that subcontractor.

 

131

00:04:01,641 --> 00:04:03,042

I didn't work for that contractor

 

132

00:04:03,042 --> 00:04:03,743

or whatever.

 

133

00:04:03,743 --> 00:04:06,946

And, at the time, you know, I wasn't

 

134

00:04:06,946 --> 00:04:08,748

contracting any more, but

 

135

00:04:08,748 --> 00:04:10,183

still, whatever.

 

136

00:04:10,183 --> 00:04:11,184

I couldn't do the floors.

 

137

00:04:11,184 --> 00:04:14,187

They had to he had to use his floor guy.

 

138

00:04:15,488 --> 00:04:17,257

Crazy weather that we had.

 

139

00:04:17,257 --> 00:04:19,659

Crazy winter

 

140

00:04:19,659 --> 00:04:22,629

tons and tons and tons of snow.

 

141

00:04:23,062 --> 00:04:24,097

And he even questioned

 

142

00:04:24,097 --> 00:04:25,031

the builder at one time.

 

143

00:04:25,031 --> 00:04:27,667

He's like,

 

144

00:04:27,667 --> 00:04:29,736

because now his subfloor is covered

 

145

00:04:29,736 --> 00:04:30,870

with snow all the time.

 

146

00:04:30,870 --> 00:04:32,605

Freezing to freeze.

 

147

00:04:32,605 --> 00:04:34,941

It was a, you know, nightmare.

 

148

00:04:34,941 --> 00:04:37,010

Lots of water, lots of rain.

 

149

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

So anyways, they're installing the floor.

 

150

00:04:40,947 --> 00:04:41,948

He says, hey, Ravi,

 

151

00:04:41,948 --> 00:04:42,715

can you do me a favor?

 

152

00:04:42,715 --> 00:04:43,616

Come on over to the house.

 

153

00:04:43,616 --> 00:04:46,486

I'm going to show you something.

 

154

00:04:46,486 --> 00:04:49,489

It was OSB plywood

 

155

00:04:49,689 --> 00:04:51,991

the guys had left for the day.

 

156

00:04:51,991 --> 00:04:53,326

He walks over

 

157

00:04:53,326 --> 00:04:53,993

and he goes,

 

158

00:04:53,993 --> 00:04:55,328

should you be able to do this

 

159

00:04:55,328 --> 00:04:57,297

with hardwood floors?

 

160

00:04:57,297 --> 00:05:00,433

And he reaches down and he pulls it out.

 

161

00:05:01,934 --> 00:05:02,669

Wow.

 

162

00:05:02,669 --> 00:05:03,870

He pulls it right out.

 

163

00:05:03,870 --> 00:05:04,837

I'm not kidding you.

 

164

00:05:04,837 --> 00:05:06,773

I never saw anything like it

 

165

00:05:06,773 --> 00:05:08,908

in all my years doing hardwood floors.

 

166

00:05:08,908 --> 00:05:09,909

I can't believe that

 

167

00:05:09,909 --> 00:05:11,744

not only is this happening,

 

168

00:05:11,744 --> 00:05:14,080

but it's happening to my brother.

 

169

00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:14,981

Wow.

 

170

00:05:14,981 --> 00:05:17,984

I go, no, dude, that is not.

 

171

00:05:18,785 --> 00:05:20,420

That is not something

 

172

00:05:20,420 --> 00:05:21,487

that should be happening.

 

173

00:05:21,487 --> 00:05:23,823

You you you know this, right?

 

174

00:05:23,823 --> 00:05:25,024

He goes. Yeah.

 

175

00:05:25,024 --> 00:05:26,526

I didn't think so.

 

176

00:05:26,526 --> 00:05:27,193

And he goes, you know,

 

177

00:05:27,193 --> 00:05:30,196

I kept talking to him about the subfloor,

 

178

00:05:30,196 --> 00:05:30,663

the subfloor.

 

179

00:05:30,663 --> 00:05:32,165

And the guy kept telling me, no, no,

 

180

00:05:32,165 --> 00:05:33,733

this is special.

 

181

00:05:33,733 --> 00:05:35,368

This is special. OSB.

 

182

00:05:35,368 --> 00:05:36,703

I said, well, I,

 

183

00:05:36,703 --> 00:05:39,005

I don't know what's so special about it.

 

184

00:05:39,005 --> 00:05:39,238

You know,

 

185

00:05:39,238 --> 00:05:40,673

it looks like it's swelled and shrunk.

 

186

00:05:40,673 --> 00:05:42,375

I don't know how many times.

 

187

00:05:42,375 --> 00:05:45,745

And it had zero holding

 

188

00:05:45,745 --> 00:05:48,281

power for the nails. Wow.

 

189

00:05:48,281 --> 00:05:50,616

It was unbelievable.

 

190

00:05:50,616 --> 00:05:51,651

I had to rip out

 

191

00:05:51,651 --> 00:05:53,019

everything that they had done.

 

192

00:05:54,354 --> 00:05:54,787

I was a

 

193

00:05:54,787 --> 00:05:55,488

little surprised that

 

194

00:05:55,488 --> 00:05:56,923

the floor guy didn't

 

195

00:05:56,923 --> 00:05:58,524

mention anything, but.

 

196

00:05:58,524 --> 00:06:00,293

Right, right.

 

197

00:06:00,293 --> 00:06:01,027

You know the deal.

 

198

00:06:01,027 --> 00:06:03,463

Sometimes,

 

199

00:06:03,463 --> 00:06:05,498

the high end guys are

 

200

00:06:05,498 --> 00:06:07,333

are not using high end guys.

 

201

00:06:07,333 --> 00:06:08,901

I don't even want go down that road.

 

202

00:06:08,901 --> 00:06:11,070

But anyways,

 

203

00:06:11,070 --> 00:06:11,671

not only do

 

204

00:06:11,671 --> 00:06:12,538

I have to rip all the floor

 

205

00:06:12,538 --> 00:06:14,807

up there to rip subfloor out to

 

206

00:06:14,807 --> 00:06:19,011

wow, because subfloor was wow garbage.

 

207

00:06:19,579 --> 00:06:19,846

Wow.

 

208

00:06:19,846 --> 00:06:21,013

So when you said you want to do

 

209

00:06:21,013 --> 00:06:23,583

sub floors, I was like, oh my gosh,

 

210

00:06:23,583 --> 00:06:26,052

I remember that absolute brutal

 

211

00:06:26,052 --> 00:06:27,820

nightmare my brother had to go through

 

212

00:06:27,820 --> 00:06:30,823

with his house. Insane.

 

213

00:06:30,823 --> 00:06:31,257

Wow.

 

214

00:06:31,257 --> 00:06:34,260

Well, you know, anybody that's ever,

 

215

00:06:34,961 --> 00:06:37,230

had a issues with squeaks and creaks

 

216

00:06:37,230 --> 00:06:38,030

and, you know,

 

217

00:06:38,030 --> 00:06:40,299

movement and sagging and separating

 

218

00:06:40,299 --> 00:06:41,801

and what have you.

 

219

00:06:41,801 --> 00:06:43,236

They know the effects of a faulty,

 

220

00:06:43,236 --> 00:06:44,804

faulty subfloor.

 

221

00:06:44,804 --> 00:06:46,472

And, it's

 

222

00:06:46,472 --> 00:06:47,340

obviously results

 

223

00:06:47,340 --> 00:06:49,809

that can result in callbacks and

 

224

00:06:49,809 --> 00:06:50,877

everything and reworks

 

225

00:06:50,877 --> 00:06:53,379

and all the way up to, lawsuits. So,

 

226

00:06:54,380 --> 00:06:55,982

and and you know what?

 

227

00:06:55,982 --> 00:06:56,682

The floor

 

228

00:06:56,682 --> 00:06:58,484

guy's going to get pinned for it.

 

229

00:06:58,484 --> 00:07:00,486

Of course. Of course. Yeah.

 

230

00:07:00,486 --> 00:07:01,487

That's what

 

231

00:07:01,487 --> 00:07:02,622

that's what surprised me

 

232

00:07:02,622 --> 00:07:05,625

about what my brother went through was

 

233

00:07:05,892 --> 00:07:07,760

this guy didn't kind of notice

 

234

00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,396

this was happening, you know? Right.

 

235

00:07:10,396 --> 00:07:11,798

Because once that thing starts

 

236

00:07:11,798 --> 00:07:13,032

squeaking and popping and move,

 

237

00:07:13,032 --> 00:07:15,735

and if he doesn't say anything now, it's

 

238

00:07:15,735 --> 00:07:17,336

it's, well, it's subfloor his fault.

 

239

00:07:17,336 --> 00:07:18,905

It's your, you know, it's your floor.

 

240

00:07:18,905 --> 00:07:20,239

What did you do.

 

241

00:07:20,239 --> 00:07:21,007

Yeah.

 

242

00:07:21,007 --> 00:07:22,208

Well when, when you lay on it,

 

243

00:07:22,208 --> 00:07:23,543

it's it's yours.

 

244

00:07:23,543 --> 00:07:24,510

You know what I mean. You. Yeah.

 

245

00:07:24,510 --> 00:07:26,446

You're given the green light.

 

246

00:07:26,446 --> 00:07:27,780

Yeah. So you know you know.

 

247

00:07:27,780 --> 00:07:28,214

Yeah.

 

248

00:07:28,214 --> 00:07:28,981

That's got to be done up

 

249

00:07:28,981 --> 00:07:30,783

front those conversations.

 

250

00:07:30,783 --> 00:07:31,717

Okay.

 

251

00:07:31,717 --> 00:07:34,153

So, the here's the interesting thing too,

 

252

00:07:34,153 --> 00:07:35,421

is that nobody ever thinks

 

253

00:07:35,421 --> 00:07:36,823

they need subfloor prep.

 

254

00:07:38,090 --> 00:07:39,325

No, nobody.

 

255

00:07:39,325 --> 00:07:40,626

No builder.

 

256

00:07:40,626 --> 00:07:40,927

No.

 

257

00:07:40,927 --> 00:07:41,227

You know,

 

258

00:07:41,227 --> 00:07:42,895

they they in their mind,

 

259

00:07:42,895 --> 00:07:45,298

they're looking at pricing of flooring

 

260

00:07:45,298 --> 00:07:46,232

only.

 

261

00:07:46,232 --> 00:07:47,033

They're never

 

262

00:07:47,033 --> 00:07:49,068

thinking about the subfloor prep.

 

263

00:07:49,068 --> 00:07:50,703

And it's always that gray area

 

264

00:07:50,703 --> 00:07:52,305

we talked about before.

 

265

00:07:52,305 --> 00:07:53,439

And especially when it comes to

 

266

00:07:53,439 --> 00:07:55,041

if you're doing concrete work

 

267

00:07:55,041 --> 00:07:56,042

and you have to do any

 

268

00:07:56,042 --> 00:07:57,243

a leveling of the self-leveling

 

269

00:07:57,243 --> 00:07:59,445

under underlayment,

 

270

00:07:59,445 --> 00:08:00,179

Holy smokes.

 

271

00:08:00,179 --> 00:08:00,680

What that can do

 

272

00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,249

to the cost of the job or grinding.

 

273

00:08:03,249 --> 00:08:04,817

And if that's not discussed up

 

274

00:08:04,817 --> 00:08:06,185

front, man, holy smokes,

 

275

00:08:06,185 --> 00:08:07,386

that could ruin the entire job.

 

276

00:08:07,386 --> 00:08:08,387

I know a guy right now

 

277

00:08:08,387 --> 00:08:10,089

sitting on a really big job

 

278

00:08:10,089 --> 00:08:11,891

and that's become a gray area.

 

279

00:08:11,891 --> 00:08:15,094

And, so it's, it's a tough place

 

280

00:08:15,094 --> 00:08:18,097

to be.

 

281

00:08:18,130 --> 00:08:19,298

The demand on subfloor,

 

282

00:08:19,298 --> 00:08:20,199

when you said that,

 

283

00:08:20,199 --> 00:08:22,335

when you said that about subfloor prep,

 

284

00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:24,770

you don't even think you need to do it.

 

285

00:08:24,770 --> 00:08:25,972

Subfloor prep for me

 

286

00:08:25,972 --> 00:08:27,640

and Pete was to just take a hammer

 

287

00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,275

and smash down the high edges.

 

288

00:08:29,275 --> 00:08:31,777

All right, it's prepped. Let's go. Yeah.

 

289

00:08:34,146 --> 00:08:34,981

Not whack that.

 

290

00:08:34,981 --> 00:08:35,548

Nail that.

 

291

00:08:35,548 --> 00:08:36,082

Yeah, yeah.

 

292

00:08:36,082 --> 00:08:37,316

Let's go down.

 

293

00:08:37,316 --> 00:08:40,319

Beat that, beat that corner down.

 

294

00:08:40,386 --> 00:08:41,587

When,

 

295

00:08:41,587 --> 00:08:42,989

when we started to do a more and more pre

 

296

00:08:42,989 --> 00:08:43,689

finish floors,

 

297

00:08:43,689 --> 00:08:44,790

I think when contractors,

 

298

00:08:44,790 --> 00:08:45,591

foreign contractors

 

299

00:08:45,591 --> 00:08:48,027

got better doing subfloor prep,

 

300

00:08:48,027 --> 00:08:49,028

the more they got involved

 

301

00:08:49,028 --> 00:08:49,529

because what it was,

 

302

00:08:49,529 --> 00:08:49,795

you know,

 

303

00:08:49,795 --> 00:08:50,863

we all knew when it was going to be

 

304

00:08:50,863 --> 00:08:51,564

sanded, finished.

 

305

00:08:51,564 --> 00:08:52,365

I mean,

 

306

00:08:52,365 --> 00:08:54,367

a lot of guys, you know, they're not

 

307

00:08:54,367 --> 00:08:54,867

they figured

 

308

00:08:54,867 --> 00:08:56,402

the sand was going to get it right.

 

309

00:08:56,402 --> 00:08:57,470

Right. And that.

 

310

00:08:57,470 --> 00:08:59,205

Yes, exactly.

 

311

00:08:59,205 --> 00:09:01,207

The sander will take care of that. Yeah.

 

312

00:09:01,207 --> 00:09:01,807

So now

 

313

00:09:01,807 --> 00:09:03,776

with some of these veneer jobs, you know,

 

314

00:09:03,776 --> 00:09:05,811

some of these veneer floors out there,

 

315

00:09:05,811 --> 00:09:06,779

they have a good wear layer.

 

316

00:09:06,779 --> 00:09:08,447

But they're not that they're not thick.

 

317

00:09:08,447 --> 00:09:11,017

They're not three quarter boy.

 

318

00:09:11,017 --> 00:09:12,084

They're they're going to match

 

319

00:09:12,084 --> 00:09:13,286

right up to that subfloor.

 

320

00:09:13,286 --> 00:09:15,021

And if that subfloor in rough shape,

 

321

00:09:16,656 --> 00:09:17,557

you know,

 

322

00:09:17,557 --> 00:09:19,058

one thing, going from a contractor

 

323

00:09:19,058 --> 00:09:20,593

that does most of the unfinished work

 

324

00:09:20,593 --> 00:09:22,929

to doing pre finished work

 

325

00:09:22,929 --> 00:09:25,898

1000ft², it's not 1000ft²,

 

326

00:09:26,098 --> 00:09:26,599

you know what I mean.

 

327

00:09:26,599 --> 00:09:27,833

When you have unfinished

 

328

00:09:27,833 --> 00:09:29,402

versus pre finished

 

329

00:09:29,402 --> 00:09:30,369

because you know

 

330

00:09:30,369 --> 00:09:33,039

even just dropping the nail gun over it's

 

331

00:09:33,039 --> 00:09:36,042

going to cleats across it or you know

 

332

00:09:36,676 --> 00:09:37,510

you know you've

 

333

00:09:37,510 --> 00:09:38,578

especially it's

 

334

00:09:38,578 --> 00:09:39,312

gotten a little bit better

 

335

00:09:39,312 --> 00:09:41,347

now because of the

 

336

00:09:41,347 --> 00:09:44,183

because of the trend of the of hand

 

337

00:09:44,183 --> 00:09:45,651

scrapes and stuff like that,

 

338

00:09:45,651 --> 00:09:46,852

that you remember back in the day

 

339

00:09:46,852 --> 00:09:48,487

when they would take a credit card

 

340

00:09:48,487 --> 00:09:50,623

in the butt joint and,

 

341

00:09:50,623 --> 00:09:52,058

you know, our feeler gauge and say,

 

342

00:09:52,058 --> 00:09:53,593

oh, no, I mean, you know,

 

343

00:09:53,593 --> 00:09:54,994

that that's just a hair.

 

344

00:09:54,994 --> 00:09:56,829

It's just a just a slight.

 

345

00:09:56,829 --> 00:09:58,898

Is hair higher than the other, but joint.

 

346

00:09:58,898 --> 00:10:00,766

Well, that's a problem.

 

347

00:10:00,766 --> 00:10:03,536

So, you know, I, I hated

 

348

00:10:04,537 --> 00:10:07,273

I hated laying pre finish floor.

 

349

00:10:07,273 --> 00:10:08,341

I would do everything

 

350

00:10:08,341 --> 00:10:11,043

not to lay a pre finish floor.

 

351

00:10:11,043 --> 00:10:14,046

Just just like you said it just one,

 

352

00:10:14,847 --> 00:10:17,116

one stone on your shoe.

 

353

00:10:17,116 --> 00:10:18,951

One

 

354

00:10:18,951 --> 00:10:20,786

drop the nail or drop a hammer.

 

355

00:10:20,786 --> 00:10:22,321

Yeah. Oh my god.

 

356

00:10:22,321 --> 00:10:23,589

My hat's off to you guys

 

357

00:10:23,589 --> 00:10:25,458

who install refinish floors all day

 

358

00:10:25,458 --> 00:10:27,526

because that's you're right.

 

359

00:10:27,526 --> 00:10:29,061

That's not 1000ft lay.

 

360

00:10:29,061 --> 00:10:31,864

That's that's 1400 feet.

 

361

00:10:31,864 --> 00:10:32,164

Yeah.

 

362

00:10:32,164 --> 00:10:33,132

If you're charging I'm

 

363

00:10:33,132 --> 00:10:34,567

just throwing a number out there.

 

364

00:10:34,567 --> 00:10:35,468

It's four bucks a foot

 

365

00:10:35,468 --> 00:10:37,803

to install unfinished 4000ft².

 

366

00:10:37,803 --> 00:10:38,971

And there was got to go up for pre

 

367

00:10:38,971 --> 00:10:40,139

fitness right.

 

368

00:10:40,139 --> 00:10:41,741

Oh yeah. It's. Yes.

 

369

00:10:41,741 --> 00:10:43,743

And then when I see when I see

 

370

00:10:43,743 --> 00:10:45,878

you know it's impressive to see

 

371

00:10:45,878 --> 00:10:47,346

a four that was sanded finish.

 

372

00:10:47,346 --> 00:10:48,914

That's you know

 

373

00:10:48,914 --> 00:10:51,317

three board border with with maybe

 

374

00:10:51,317 --> 00:10:52,318

running on a diagonal

 

375

00:10:52,318 --> 00:10:53,586

and you got A34 board

 

376

00:10:53,586 --> 00:10:55,121

border around it with the beach strip.

 

377

00:10:55,121 --> 00:10:56,856

That's impressive with unfinished.

 

378

00:10:56,856 --> 00:10:59,091

But when I see that pre finished

 

379

00:10:59,091 --> 00:11:00,226

and I know that guy had a great

 

380

00:11:00,226 --> 00:11:01,694

break out the router and

 

381

00:11:01,694 --> 00:11:02,828

and do all that

 

382

00:11:02,828 --> 00:11:04,030

and make sure everything comes up

 

383

00:11:04,030 --> 00:11:05,931

and just the I mean that's just

 

384

00:11:05,931 --> 00:11:07,099

that's a different game man.

 

385

00:11:07,099 --> 00:11:08,567

That is a different game. Right.

 

386

00:11:08,567 --> 00:11:09,568

A lot of respect

 

387

00:11:09,568 --> 00:11:10,536

for those guys to do that.

 

388

00:11:12,271 --> 00:11:12,571

And there's

 

389

00:11:12,571 --> 00:11:13,406

also more demands

 

390

00:11:13,406 --> 00:11:16,409

put on sub floors today.

 

391

00:11:16,509 --> 00:11:18,077

You know, when they have the open, open

 

392

00:11:18,077 --> 00:11:20,046

concept rooms, the

 

393

00:11:20,046 --> 00:11:23,049

the heavier stone is being put down,

 

394

00:11:23,416 --> 00:11:25,151

you know, so,

 

395

00:11:25,151 --> 00:11:26,886

it's up floors and,

 

396

00:11:26,886 --> 00:11:28,788

you know, it's a big deal right now.

 

397

00:11:28,788 --> 00:11:30,523

And,

 

398

00:11:30,523 --> 00:11:33,526

and the even the, stiffness

 

399

00:11:34,060 --> 00:11:36,328

you probably you ever had

 

400

00:11:36,328 --> 00:11:36,662

a problem

 

401

00:11:36,662 --> 00:11:39,932

was stiffness rub on my subfloor,

 

402

00:11:40,599 --> 00:11:41,333

and you think

 

403

00:11:41,333 --> 00:11:42,401

you're getting up in the morning

 

404

00:11:42,401 --> 00:11:43,669

as you're getting older and age.

 

405

00:11:43,669 --> 00:11:45,471

I mean,

 

406

00:11:45,471 --> 00:11:47,239

very stiff. Yes.

 

407

00:11:47,239 --> 00:11:48,607

Very stiff.

 

408

00:11:48,607 --> 00:11:49,208

Yeah. Yes.

 

409

00:11:49,208 --> 00:11:50,409

We had,

 

410

00:11:50,409 --> 00:11:51,677

you know, you left,

 

411

00:11:51,677 --> 00:11:52,812

everybody went out there

 

412

00:11:52,812 --> 00:11:55,815

and doing yoga, but, I think, maybe the

 

413

00:11:56,282 --> 00:11:57,516

they were way ahead of the game.

 

414

00:11:57,516 --> 00:11:57,883

Yeah.

 

415

00:11:57,883 --> 00:12:00,886

Stretch that stiffness right out.

 

416

00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,523

See,

 

417

00:12:04,523 --> 00:12:05,224

Strength.

 

418

00:12:05,224 --> 00:12:06,125

Durability.

 

419

00:12:06,125 --> 00:12:06,959

That's what you need with

 

420

00:12:06,959 --> 00:12:08,994

these sub floors now? Yep.

 

421

00:12:10,496 --> 00:12:10,930

I didn't

 

422

00:12:10,930 --> 00:12:13,933

even think about.

 

423

00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,569

If you're using marble countertops

 

424

00:12:16,569 --> 00:12:17,870

and stuff, that extra weight

 

425

00:12:17,870 --> 00:12:20,873

and yeah, it's going to have to.

 

426

00:12:22,608 --> 00:12:25,044

It it, makes a big difference now.

 

427

00:12:25,044 --> 00:12:27,179

I mean, here's the thing.

 

428

00:12:27,179 --> 00:12:28,314

You know, these things

 

429

00:12:28,314 --> 00:12:29,849

that there's so much money on these jobs

 

430

00:12:29,849 --> 00:12:32,284

now, the houses cost so much money.

 

431

00:12:32,284 --> 00:12:34,153

I remember, you know,

 

432

00:12:34,153 --> 00:12:35,454

when the housing boom

 

433

00:12:35,454 --> 00:12:36,956

really started in California.

 

434

00:12:36,956 --> 00:12:40,059

Let me back in the, the 80s and 90s when,

 

435

00:12:40,426 --> 00:12:41,227

you know,

 

436

00:12:41,227 --> 00:12:42,394

1200 square feet home,

 

437

00:12:42,394 --> 00:12:43,562

that should be like 80 grand.

 

438

00:12:43,562 --> 00:12:43,996

Now, also

 

439

00:12:43,996 --> 00:12:46,732

in that same home is like 700 grand.

 

440

00:12:46,732 --> 00:12:48,701

Now, like it's the Taj Mahal, right?

 

441

00:12:48,701 --> 00:12:48,934

I mean,

 

442

00:12:48,934 --> 00:12:49,802

now the

 

443

00:12:49,802 --> 00:12:51,470

everything you do is, like, so important

 

444

00:12:51,470 --> 00:12:53,405

because that was a $700,000 home.

 

445

00:12:53,405 --> 00:12:55,508

Meanwhile, you got

 

446

00:12:55,508 --> 00:12:56,275

100 grand.

 

447

00:12:56,275 --> 00:12:57,176

You know what I mean?

 

448

00:12:57,176 --> 00:13:00,546

Just so now, with all the expensive,

 

449

00:13:00,546 --> 00:13:01,180

the materials,

 

450

00:13:01,180 --> 00:13:02,982

the expensive labor, the expense of,

 

451

00:13:02,982 --> 00:13:04,650

doing, doing business,

 

452

00:13:04,650 --> 00:13:06,952

that there's a lot of onus on us now.

 

453

00:13:06,952 --> 00:13:08,554

So I think this up for the

 

454

00:13:08,554 --> 00:13:09,889

holding power of suppliers,

 

455

00:13:11,056 --> 00:13:13,058

is is questionable with a lot of times

 

456

00:13:13,058 --> 00:13:14,627

with OSB floors

 

457

00:13:14,627 --> 00:13:15,761

and how well did they handle

 

458

00:13:15,761 --> 00:13:17,229

seasonal changes.

 

459

00:13:17,229 --> 00:13:19,165

So you couple that

 

460

00:13:19,165 --> 00:13:22,168

with the white plank floors.

 

461

00:13:22,268 --> 00:13:23,435

Deflection a lot of times

 

462

00:13:23,435 --> 00:13:25,838

the subfloor is, what is it, 19.2in?

 

463

00:13:25,838 --> 00:13:27,039

I think they need to be on center.

 

464

00:13:27,039 --> 00:13:29,708

That was the maximum width.

 

465

00:13:29,708 --> 00:13:32,711

And some of the other framing components,

 

466

00:13:33,646 --> 00:13:35,781

that, I think it lines up

 

467

00:13:35,781 --> 00:13:38,784

in a very smart way to,

 

468

00:13:39,485 --> 00:13:41,020

to protect yourself

 

469

00:13:41,020 --> 00:13:42,555

by doing the nail glosses

 

470

00:13:42,555 --> 00:13:43,923

and by doing the, the, the,

 

471

00:13:43,923 --> 00:13:46,625

the moisture barrier. There are 540.

 

472

00:13:46,625 --> 00:13:47,526

I mean, you

 

473

00:13:47,526 --> 00:13:49,028

you look at what you've got going on

 

474

00:13:49,028 --> 00:13:50,896

your side of the equation,

 

475

00:13:50,896 --> 00:13:51,463

you know,

 

476

00:13:51,463 --> 00:13:53,799

and what you have going against you.

 

477

00:13:53,799 --> 00:13:55,334

And it's frightening sometimes

 

478

00:13:55,334 --> 00:13:57,670

when I remember when I was, when I was

 

479

00:13:57,670 --> 00:13:58,938

sat down and like,

 

480

00:13:58,938 --> 00:13:59,905

really studied

 

481

00:13:59,905 --> 00:14:01,407

this and thought about this.

 

482

00:14:01,407 --> 00:14:01,807

All right, here's

 

483

00:14:01,807 --> 00:14:02,408

what I got going on

 

484

00:14:02,408 --> 00:14:03,609

my side of the equation.

 

485

00:14:03,609 --> 00:14:05,811

There's these 4 or 5 things.

 

486

00:14:05,811 --> 00:14:07,179

Here's a, here's a

 

487

00:14:07,179 --> 00:14:08,447

the other side of the equation

 

488

00:14:08,447 --> 00:14:10,282

that could possibly go against me.

 

489

00:14:10,282 --> 00:14:11,617

And the list kept getting longer

 

490

00:14:11,617 --> 00:14:13,652

and longer and longer and longer.

 

491

00:14:13,652 --> 00:14:14,053

And it's like

 

492

00:14:14,053 --> 00:14:15,688

you got to protect yourself.

 

493

00:14:15,688 --> 00:14:16,388

You know what I mean?

 

494

00:14:16,388 --> 00:14:18,524

And and, Ling, as you said,

 

495

00:14:18,524 --> 00:14:19,959

you know, you're laying on that subfloor.

 

496

00:14:19,959 --> 00:14:21,527

Well, then then you own that, right?

 

497

00:14:21,527 --> 00:14:22,428

You're basically saying

 

498

00:14:22,428 --> 00:14:23,195

you're the professional

 

499

00:14:23,195 --> 00:14:24,563

that that it's a it's good to go.

 

500

00:14:24,563 --> 00:14:25,097

It's good enough

 

501

00:14:25,097 --> 00:14:28,100

that I can just throw my floor on and,

 

502

00:14:29,702 --> 00:14:30,669

like I said, I think we

 

503

00:14:30,669 --> 00:14:32,304

take a lot of the onus on us

 

504

00:14:32,304 --> 00:14:33,672

in this industry that.

 

505

00:14:33,672 --> 00:14:35,574

So you need to put as many things

 

506

00:14:35,574 --> 00:14:36,575

on your side of the equation

 

507

00:14:36,575 --> 00:14:38,077

as you possibly can.

 

508

00:14:38,077 --> 00:14:39,144

You know,

 

509

00:14:39,144 --> 00:14:41,947

you know, you'd be very proud of me

 

510

00:14:41,947 --> 00:14:44,216

if you came to some of the schools now,

 

511

00:14:44,216 --> 00:14:46,085

you'd be very happy.

 

512

00:14:46,085 --> 00:14:48,120

You might even want to hire me.

 

513

00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:48,888

Be in here, team.

 

514

00:14:48,888 --> 00:14:51,891

No no no no, you you might.

 

515

00:14:52,057 --> 00:14:53,492

Listen,

 

516

00:14:53,492 --> 00:14:56,362

you have got me as a true believer

 

517

00:14:56,362 --> 00:14:59,365

in the 540 when I get going.

 

518

00:14:59,899 --> 00:15:02,401

I'm talking about the R5 40

 

519

00:15:02,401 --> 00:15:05,404

and it being not a moisture barrier,

 

520

00:15:05,838 --> 00:15:08,841

but a moisture mitigation system.

 

521

00:15:09,041 --> 00:15:11,410

And I tell people exactly how it works

 

522

00:15:11,410 --> 00:15:13,245

and why it has to work like that.

 

523

00:15:13,245 --> 00:15:15,247

I let me tell you,

 

524

00:15:15,247 --> 00:15:16,982

not a dry eye in the house,

 

525

00:15:16,982 --> 00:15:19,418

not a dry eye in the house.

 

526

00:15:19,418 --> 00:15:20,419

Oh, yeah.

 

527

00:15:20,419 --> 00:15:22,655

That's that's I'm telling you,

 

528

00:15:24,356 --> 00:15:26,158

I believe in that stuff, man.

 

529

00:15:26,158 --> 00:15:29,161

That is,

 

530

00:15:29,228 --> 00:15:30,596

I go to my daughter's house.

 

531

00:15:30,596 --> 00:15:32,798

I laid her floors three inch.

 

532

00:15:32,798 --> 00:15:35,601

It was only three inch

 

533

00:15:35,601 --> 00:15:36,769

a cup.

 

534

00:15:36,769 --> 00:15:38,137

I did everything right.

 

535

00:15:38,137 --> 00:15:40,205

Everything was perfect.

 

536

00:15:40,205 --> 00:15:42,107

We go back in for Christmas.

 

537

00:15:42,107 --> 00:15:43,709

She's like one of the.

 

538

00:15:43,709 --> 00:15:45,844

And I'm like, oh, my God, the floor cup.

 

539

00:15:45,844 --> 00:15:48,213

How could it cup on me?

 

540

00:15:48,213 --> 00:15:49,214

Right.

 

541

00:15:49,214 --> 00:15:51,350

And I have to be there all the time.

 

542

00:15:51,350 --> 00:15:52,484

Look at the floor.

 

543

00:15:52,484 --> 00:15:53,619

Look at

 

544

00:15:53,619 --> 00:15:55,721

even the little grandkids at that Bubba.

 

545

00:15:55,721 --> 00:15:58,624

Look at that. Yeah, yeah I, I see that.

 

546

00:15:58,624 --> 00:15:59,925

Did your mother tell you to say that

 

547

00:15:59,925 --> 00:16:01,660

or you just really

 

548

00:16:01,660 --> 00:16:04,663

trying to hurt up this feeling?

 

549

00:16:05,264 --> 00:16:07,666

I, I would use it on everything.

 

550

00:16:07,666 --> 00:16:09,501

Two and a quarter. Three.

 

551

00:16:09,501 --> 00:16:10,202

I would

 

552

00:16:10,202 --> 00:16:11,370

there's no reason

 

553

00:16:11,370 --> 00:16:14,340

I would never not use that product.

 

554

00:16:14,340 --> 00:16:16,775

Especially after you really find out how

 

555

00:16:16,775 --> 00:16:18,344

it works and why it works.

 

556

00:16:20,412 --> 00:16:23,415

You'd be crazy not to.

 

557

00:16:23,449 --> 00:16:24,283

Crazy not to.

 

558

00:16:24,283 --> 00:16:26,652

And I think it's an upsell to.

 

559

00:16:26,652 --> 00:16:27,186

Yeah, I think it's

 

560

00:16:27,186 --> 00:16:29,555

another upsell opportunity.

 

561

00:16:29,555 --> 00:16:30,789

It absolutely is.

 

562

00:16:30,789 --> 00:16:31,757

And, you know,

 

563

00:16:31,757 --> 00:16:32,057

you see

 

564

00:16:32,057 --> 00:16:33,592

a lot of builders are choosing OSB

 

565

00:16:33,592 --> 00:16:35,027

because it typically, typically

 

566

00:16:35,027 --> 00:16:36,628

cost less than plywood.

 

567

00:16:36,628 --> 00:16:37,563

You don't have the knots in it

 

568

00:16:37,563 --> 00:16:39,465

in the voids and stuff like that.

 

569

00:16:39,465 --> 00:16:42,401

But the whole key is is managing

 

570

00:16:42,401 --> 00:16:44,803

and mitigating the moisture.

 

571

00:16:44,803 --> 00:16:47,139

To be have a successful installation.

 

572

00:16:47,139 --> 00:16:49,808

And I really do believe that

 

573

00:16:49,808 --> 00:16:50,409

in the minimum

 

574

00:16:50,409 --> 00:16:50,843

and they'll go

 

575

00:16:50,843 --> 00:16:52,277

assist on these type of floors

 

576

00:16:52,277 --> 00:16:53,545

because of the way,

 

577

00:16:53,545 --> 00:16:55,014

the way that they hold the nails

 

578

00:16:55,014 --> 00:16:57,483

and what have you and the fasteners,

 

579

00:16:57,483 --> 00:16:58,484

is a must.

 

580

00:16:58,484 --> 00:17:00,185

It is your defense against

 

581

00:17:00,185 --> 00:17:02,287

what's changed in the industry.

 

582

00:17:02,287 --> 00:17:03,022

It's like,

 

583

00:17:03,022 --> 00:17:04,556

okay, well, all these things are coming.

 

584

00:17:04,556 --> 00:17:06,759

You know, it's we're litigious society.

 

585

00:17:06,759 --> 00:17:07,693

We live in now,

 

586

00:17:07,693 --> 00:17:08,827

you know, all these pressures on us

 

587

00:17:08,827 --> 00:17:09,862

and what have you.

 

588

00:17:09,862 --> 00:17:10,696

Then,

 

589

00:17:10,696 --> 00:17:12,164

for the business guy, you got a

 

590

00:17:12,164 --> 00:17:13,599

it's your self-defense

 

591

00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:15,234

against a changing world

 

592

00:17:15,234 --> 00:17:16,735

and protecting your business.

 

593

00:17:16,735 --> 00:17:17,436

It just is.

 

594

00:17:17,436 --> 00:17:18,737

And I just think that,

 

595

00:17:18,737 --> 00:17:18,937

you know,

 

596

00:17:18,937 --> 00:17:19,671

we've I've said

 

597

00:17:19,671 --> 00:17:20,739

before, building paper

 

598

00:17:20,739 --> 00:17:23,108

is not much of a deterrent

 

599

00:17:23,108 --> 00:17:24,910

if you have moisture issues.

 

600

00:17:24,910 --> 00:17:27,813

And, hey, you know, at the time,

 

601

00:17:27,813 --> 00:17:28,814

that's really all we had.

 

602

00:17:30,382 --> 00:17:30,883

Yeah,

 

603

00:17:30,883 --> 00:17:33,886

that's all we had, you know, now

 

604

00:17:34,586 --> 00:17:35,521

with the improvements

 

605

00:17:35,521 --> 00:17:37,656

and everything in this product,

 

606

00:17:37,656 --> 00:17:40,092

you're just crazy not to do it.

 

607

00:17:40,092 --> 00:17:40,459

It's funny.

 

608

00:17:40,459 --> 00:17:43,295

You said you would be so happy

 

609

00:17:43,295 --> 00:17:44,229

if you heard me.

 

610

00:17:44,229 --> 00:17:45,697

I might even do it when you.

 

611

00:17:45,697 --> 00:17:46,565

You're

 

612

00:17:46,565 --> 00:17:47,866

you're going to be with me next week.

 

613

00:17:47,866 --> 00:17:49,568

Maybe, maybe I'll.

 

614

00:17:49,568 --> 00:17:50,502

I'll show you the love.

 

615

00:17:50,502 --> 00:17:52,204

I'll show you how to do it.

 

616

00:17:52,204 --> 00:17:53,939

I would like to see that.

 

617

00:17:53,939 --> 00:17:54,940

I'd like to see you in action.

 

618

00:17:54,940 --> 00:17:55,974

I would actually like to see you

 

619

00:17:55,974 --> 00:17:58,043

on a cell call.

 

620

00:17:58,043 --> 00:17:59,812

Yeah,

 

621

00:17:59,812 --> 00:18:02,047

it's funny you said your daughter's, four

 

622

00:18:02,047 --> 00:18:04,116

is three inches in it and a couple,

 

623

00:18:04,116 --> 00:18:06,051

because in the Bay area

 

624

00:18:06,051 --> 00:18:06,518

for it

 

625

00:18:06,518 --> 00:18:08,587

always seemed like never a problem

 

626

00:18:08,587 --> 00:18:09,888

with three inches.

 

627

00:18:09,888 --> 00:18:10,856

Go to three and a quarter,

 

628

00:18:12,057 --> 00:18:12,558

and then one of

 

629

00:18:12,558 --> 00:18:14,593

them to the ones that one of the cup,

 

630

00:18:14,593 --> 00:18:15,961

I mean, three inches you have.

 

631

00:18:15,961 --> 00:18:17,629

You're always okay. Yeah.

 

632

00:18:17,629 --> 00:18:18,530

You worry about too much,

 

633

00:18:18,530 --> 00:18:21,100

but for some reason and that 3.25in on us

 

634

00:18:21,100 --> 00:18:22,267

was the rid of three

 

635

00:18:22,267 --> 00:18:22,668

and a quarter

 

636

00:18:22,668 --> 00:18:24,703

was a pretty common back in the day.

 

637

00:18:24,703 --> 00:18:26,105

And they're the ones that you

 

638

00:18:26,105 --> 00:18:29,108

I don't worry about a little bit.

 

639

00:18:29,975 --> 00:18:32,644

You would love your sales call.

 

640

00:18:32,644 --> 00:18:35,647

I would you would definitely.

 

641

00:18:36,048 --> 00:18:38,117

You would love to see me on a sales call.

 

642

00:18:38,117 --> 00:18:41,120

I'm a fun guy on a sales call.

 

643

00:18:41,353 --> 00:18:43,088

I'm a fun guy.

 

644

00:18:43,088 --> 00:18:44,890

And that might not be

 

645

00:18:44,890 --> 00:18:47,893

what you're looking for in a sales guy.

 

646

00:18:48,227 --> 00:18:48,894

You know what?

 

647

00:18:48,894 --> 00:18:49,995

You ever seen a sales guy

 

648

00:18:49,995 --> 00:18:51,396

just completely die?

 

649

00:18:51,396 --> 00:18:53,198

And I go, yo, guy.

 

650

00:18:53,198 --> 00:18:56,468

Yeah, I have, isn't it the best I have?

 

651

00:18:56,768 --> 00:18:57,603

Yeah, yeah.

 

652

00:18:57,603 --> 00:18:59,538

One time I did it in front of the boss.

 

653

00:18:59,538 --> 00:19:01,673

Oh, yeah, I was.

 

654

00:19:01,673 --> 00:19:02,841

But I'll tell you

 

655

00:19:02,841 --> 00:19:04,643

a quick little story about sales call.

 

656

00:19:04,643 --> 00:19:05,144

I was on.

 

657

00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,182

It was a Jansen call,

 

658

00:19:10,182 --> 00:19:13,185

and, were meeting with the

 

659

00:19:14,253 --> 00:19:16,155

head of buildings

 

660

00:19:16,155 --> 00:19:16,955

and grounds

 

661

00:19:16,955 --> 00:19:17,956

for Brunswick,

 

662

00:19:17,956 --> 00:19:19,458

new Jersey central schools.

 

663

00:19:19,458 --> 00:19:22,227

A lot of gyms, a lot of gyms.

 

664

00:19:22,227 --> 00:19:23,862

Right.

 

665

00:19:23,862 --> 00:19:26,798

So we're sitting in his office now with,

 

666

00:19:26,798 --> 00:19:28,433

Jansen distributors.

 

667

00:19:28,433 --> 00:19:30,836

Salesperson. Right.

 

668

00:19:30,836 --> 00:19:32,971

They buy bone now I'm in there.

 

669

00:19:32,971 --> 00:19:34,806

Me in the sales rep.

 

670

00:19:34,806 --> 00:19:37,242

And there's like two clipboard people

 

671

00:19:37,242 --> 00:19:40,145

and this huge guy,

 

672

00:19:40,145 --> 00:19:42,681

and he is in charge of everything.

 

673

00:19:42,681 --> 00:19:44,950

And he lets everybody know

 

674

00:19:44,950 --> 00:19:46,485

he's in charge of everybody.

 

675

00:19:46,485 --> 00:19:48,453

He's in charge of this meeting.

 

676

00:19:48,453 --> 00:19:50,422

You know what I mean.

 

677

00:19:50,422 --> 00:19:52,057

Look out.

 

678

00:19:52,057 --> 00:19:53,559

He walks into the room.

 

679

00:19:53,559 --> 00:19:55,460

That's how this dude carries himself.

 

680

00:19:55,460 --> 00:19:57,796

And I'm like here we go brother.

 

681

00:19:57,796 --> 00:19:59,965

Okay here we go.

 

682

00:19:59,965 --> 00:20:01,567

He sits down.

 

683

00:20:01,567 --> 00:20:03,068

He looks across at me

 

684

00:20:03,068 --> 00:20:04,770

and he goes, you know we've looked at

 

685

00:20:06,238 --> 00:20:06,905

we've looked at

 

686

00:20:06,905 --> 00:20:08,106

bona and he goes,

 

687

00:20:08,106 --> 00:20:08,874

you know what else

 

688

00:20:08,874 --> 00:20:11,076

we've looked at Hilliard.

 

689

00:20:11,076 --> 00:20:13,812

I like both sleeves.

 

690

00:20:13,812 --> 00:20:15,347

Okay.

 

691

00:20:15,347 --> 00:20:17,149

You you told his story.

 

692

00:20:17,149 --> 00:20:18,917

Like I just

 

693

00:20:18,917 --> 00:20:20,819

literally just listened to this episode

 

694

00:20:20,819 --> 00:20:22,054

exactly the same time.

 

695

00:20:22,054 --> 00:20:22,721

Are you serious?

 

696

00:20:22,721 --> 00:20:24,256

I already told this story,

 

697

00:20:24,256 --> 00:20:25,424

like two episodes ago.

 

698

00:20:25,424 --> 00:20:26,658

You told this story?

 

699

00:20:26,658 --> 00:20:27,459

Oh, man.

 

700

00:20:27,459 --> 00:20:29,394

Literally, literally two episodes.

 

701

00:20:29,394 --> 00:20:30,529

Let me finish it for you.

 

702

00:20:30,529 --> 00:20:32,097

Let me finish. Let me.

 

703

00:20:32,097 --> 00:20:35,100

So he said, where's my freaking head?

 

704

00:20:35,234 --> 00:20:36,868

Why should I hire you?

 

705

00:20:36,868 --> 00:20:38,437

Why should you hire me?

 

706

00:20:38,437 --> 00:20:40,505

Because they don't have Rob Johnson.

 

707

00:20:40,505 --> 00:20:41,406

Bingo.

 

708

00:20:41,406 --> 00:20:42,307

We went outside

 

709

00:20:42,307 --> 00:20:43,642

and that was just, you know. Right.

 

710

00:20:43,642 --> 00:20:45,277

Maybe we'll start telling that story.

 

711

00:20:45,277 --> 00:20:46,044

You know, we're going to do.

 

712

00:20:46,044 --> 00:20:49,047

We're gonna tell that story every show.

 

713

00:20:49,081 --> 00:20:51,250

One of my favorite sales goals ever.

 

714

00:20:53,051 --> 00:20:54,319

And we got it.

 

715

00:20:54,319 --> 00:20:56,255

I can't believe I told that story.

 

716

00:20:56,255 --> 00:20:58,490

So you have to look so good in my head

 

717

00:20:58,490 --> 00:21:01,293

when I talked about, you know, we have,

 

718

00:21:01,293 --> 00:21:03,595

you know, to protect ourselves,

 

719

00:21:03,595 --> 00:21:04,529

and protect our business

 

720

00:21:04,529 --> 00:21:05,931

and protect our schedule and protect

 

721

00:21:05,931 --> 00:21:06,999

our, our money that's in

 

722

00:21:06,999 --> 00:21:07,899

our bank

 

723

00:21:07,899 --> 00:21:10,302

is using the 540 in the adhesives.

 

724

00:21:10,302 --> 00:21:11,670

You don't see the elevator guy

 

725

00:21:11,670 --> 00:21:13,105

come out to the job

 

726

00:21:13,105 --> 00:21:14,139

and say, you know,

 

727

00:21:14,139 --> 00:21:16,308

I think I can save a little bit of money.

 

728

00:21:16,308 --> 00:21:19,311

I'll leave one of the cables out.

 

729

00:21:22,914 --> 00:21:24,583

So why would we do the same?

 

730

00:21:24,583 --> 00:21:25,183

Why would we?

 

731

00:21:25,183 --> 00:21:25,684

Wait a minute.

 

732

00:21:25,684 --> 00:21:27,653

How much money could you save?

 

733

00:21:27,653 --> 00:21:28,320

I gotta believe it's

 

734

00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:29,588

a pretty good savings. There's.

 

735

00:21:29,588 --> 00:21:30,922

You know, you see these elevators?

 

736

00:21:30,922 --> 00:21:31,957

They get all these.

 

737

00:21:31,957 --> 00:21:33,525

Do they really need every one?

 

738

00:21:34,526 --> 00:21:36,495

Well, not until they do.

 

739

00:21:36,495 --> 00:21:38,163

Yeah, yeah.

 

740

00:21:38,163 --> 00:21:39,231

So, but

 

741

00:21:39,231 --> 00:21:42,234

but I mean, I'm in all seriousness,

 

742

00:21:43,068 --> 00:21:46,171

they they will protect themselves

 

743

00:21:46,171 --> 00:21:47,172

by doing. You know what I mean?

 

744

00:21:47,172 --> 00:21:47,873

When rebar

 

745

00:21:47,873 --> 00:21:49,675

when they put rebar in the gate,

 

746

00:21:49,675 --> 00:21:50,709

you know, the guy does say,

 

747

00:21:50,709 --> 00:21:52,577

you know what,

 

748

00:21:52,577 --> 00:21:53,145

let's just leave.

 

749

00:21:53,145 --> 00:21:54,112

We can tell you what we can

 

750

00:21:54,112 --> 00:21:56,548

leave out every other rebar,

 

751

00:21:56,548 --> 00:21:57,883

in the concrete because it'll,

 

752

00:21:57,883 --> 00:21:59,084

you know, save money on the rebar.

 

753

00:21:59,084 --> 00:21:59,718

We'll do that for.

 

754

00:21:59,718 --> 00:22:01,553

You know what I mean?

 

755

00:22:01,553 --> 00:22:03,689

Obviously, when they do that,

 

756

00:22:03,689 --> 00:22:05,223

actually, I'll tell you a story, though.

 

757

00:22:05,223 --> 00:22:06,892

An awful story, about that,

 

758

00:22:06,892 --> 00:22:07,826

it just came to mind.

 

759

00:22:07,826 --> 00:22:10,195

You remember the earthquake in California

 

760

00:22:10,195 --> 00:22:11,830

in the Bay area?

 

761

00:22:11,830 --> 00:22:14,032

A's were playing the Giants in the,

 

762

00:22:14,032 --> 00:22:15,667

World Series,

 

763

00:22:15,667 --> 00:22:16,935

and there was an earthquake.

 

764

00:22:16,935 --> 00:22:17,936

I remember.

 

765

00:22:19,971 --> 00:22:22,841

Peter and I were quoting a job.

 

766

00:22:22,841 --> 00:22:24,876

We're quoting a huge job.

 

767

00:22:24,876 --> 00:22:26,745

The guy and live way out in the woods.

 

768

00:22:26,745 --> 00:22:28,380

We're in a huge job.

 

769

00:22:28,380 --> 00:22:29,781

And we had the World

 

770

00:22:29,781 --> 00:22:32,784

Series on why we were okay.

 

771

00:22:32,918 --> 00:22:34,086

And as we were coating,

 

772

00:22:34,086 --> 00:22:36,088

and all of a sudden,

 

773

00:22:36,088 --> 00:22:36,221

I.

 

774

00:22:36,221 --> 00:22:37,389

Yeah, I remember that

 

775

00:22:37,389 --> 00:22:39,324

like it was yesterday.

 

776

00:22:39,324 --> 00:22:41,660

Okay, bring it to that house.

 

777

00:22:41,660 --> 00:22:43,061

I don't I don't know if at the time

 

778

00:22:43,061 --> 00:22:44,329

it was highway 17 or it,

 

779

00:22:44,329 --> 00:22:45,797

it changed over to highway 8080.

 

780

00:22:45,797 --> 00:22:48,100

But this a highway was collapsing right.

 

781

00:22:48,100 --> 00:22:48,633

Yes.

 

782

00:22:48,633 --> 00:22:49,368

It ran

 

783

00:22:49,368 --> 00:22:51,269

that highway ran through Oakland

 

784

00:22:51,269 --> 00:22:53,004

and there was an upper and lower.

 

785

00:22:53,004 --> 00:22:55,707

If you're going say, east, you're on

 

786

00:22:55,707 --> 00:22:56,742

the lower section, you're going

 

787

00:22:56,742 --> 00:22:57,809

west, you're on the,

 

788

00:22:57,809 --> 00:22:58,877

on the upper section.

 

789

00:22:58,877 --> 00:23:01,079

Okay, I remember that. Okay.

 

790

00:23:01,079 --> 00:23:02,748

So what happened was

 

791

00:23:02,748 --> 00:23:04,216

when the earthquake happened.

 

792

00:23:04,216 --> 00:23:05,550

Yeah, the one floor

 

793

00:23:05,550 --> 00:23:06,818

collapsed on the other.

 

794

00:23:06,818 --> 00:23:08,553

So all the cars driving

 

795

00:23:08,553 --> 00:23:10,655

below were all smashed

 

796

00:23:10,655 --> 00:23:12,591

from the upper one. Right.

 

797

00:23:12,591 --> 00:23:13,692

And so that was a huge,

 

798

00:23:13,692 --> 00:23:14,659

you know, California,

 

799

00:23:14,659 --> 00:23:15,727

say what you want,

 

800

00:23:15,727 --> 00:23:18,263

but they do a great job when it comes to,

 

801

00:23:18,263 --> 00:23:20,399

protecting for earthquakes, right?

 

802

00:23:20,399 --> 00:23:20,632

I mean,

 

803

00:23:20,632 --> 00:23:21,633

they built it into that,

 

804

00:23:21,633 --> 00:23:21,900

you know,

 

805

00:23:21,900 --> 00:23:23,201

when they build these structures

 

806

00:23:23,201 --> 00:23:25,036

and what have you, it's they

 

807

00:23:25,036 --> 00:23:25,604

they do that

 

808

00:23:25,604 --> 00:23:27,339

with your earthquakes in mind.

 

809

00:23:27,339 --> 00:23:28,507

So it was a little surprising

 

810

00:23:28,507 --> 00:23:30,275

when this freeway with it

 

811

00:23:30,275 --> 00:23:31,710

that wasn't really

 

812

00:23:31,710 --> 00:23:33,612

like a devastating earthquake,

 

813

00:23:33,612 --> 00:23:35,180

but it collapsed onto the other one

 

814

00:23:35,180 --> 00:23:38,083

and killed many, many, many people. Okay.

 

815

00:23:38,083 --> 00:23:39,851

And I remember

 

816

00:23:39,851 --> 00:23:41,019

they were digging people out of

 

817

00:23:41,019 --> 00:23:43,889

there for. Yeah. Yep. They've

 

818

00:23:45,157 --> 00:23:46,358

they investigated.

 

819

00:23:46,358 --> 00:23:47,659

Well why did this happen.

 

820

00:23:47,659 --> 00:23:48,960

And it took months

 

821

00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,129

this investigation to come through

 

822

00:23:51,129 --> 00:23:52,230

and it, it got down to

 

823

00:23:52,230 --> 00:23:53,265

they realize what happened

 

824

00:23:53,265 --> 00:23:55,000

was when they the support beams

 

825

00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,601

that come up in the freeway,

 

826

00:23:56,601 --> 00:23:58,303

they have rebar in it. Right.

 

827

00:23:58,303 --> 00:23:58,537

Yeah.

 

828

00:23:58,537 --> 00:23:59,704

And you're supposed to put rebar

 

829

00:23:59,704 --> 00:24:01,807

going around them as well.

 

830

00:24:01,807 --> 00:24:04,242

Well, the engineer or somebody

 

831

00:24:04,242 --> 00:24:07,145

left the dock and put those in,

 

832

00:24:07,145 --> 00:24:08,180

and they, they,

 

833

00:24:08,180 --> 00:24:09,881

they eventually went to him, retired.

 

834

00:24:09,881 --> 00:24:11,516

Now an old guy

 

835

00:24:11,516 --> 00:24:13,418

and, they said, hey,

 

836

00:24:13,418 --> 00:24:14,886

you know, it called in the plans.

 

837

00:24:14,886 --> 00:24:16,688

You didn't put those in. There he goes.

 

838

00:24:16,688 --> 00:24:19,658

My whole life I worried about that.

 

839

00:24:20,492 --> 00:24:21,193

Wow.

 

840

00:24:21,193 --> 00:24:23,261

Isn't that something,

 

841

00:24:23,261 --> 00:24:24,729

that that that would happen,

 

842

00:24:24,729 --> 00:24:25,797

you know, how would you like me?

 

843

00:24:25,797 --> 00:24:27,699

That you ever had anything in the floor

 

844

00:24:27,699 --> 00:24:29,468

business hanging over your head

 

845

00:24:29,468 --> 00:24:31,203

like you did something

 

846

00:24:31,203 --> 00:24:31,970

and you did the job?

 

847

00:24:31,970 --> 00:24:32,437

Whatever.

 

848

00:24:32,437 --> 00:24:33,004

But there was just

 

849

00:24:33,004 --> 00:24:35,273

something nagging at you that, you know,

 

850

00:24:35,273 --> 00:24:36,374

not that you were trying.

 

851

00:24:36,374 --> 00:24:37,108

You know, that you're

 

852

00:24:37,108 --> 00:24:38,210

trying to take a short cut or some.

 

853

00:24:38,210 --> 00:24:39,478

But something about the job,

 

854

00:24:39,478 --> 00:24:40,412

maybe it was

 

855

00:24:40,412 --> 00:24:41,646

a little better than you thought

 

856

00:24:41,646 --> 00:24:42,247

it might be,

 

857

00:24:42,247 --> 00:24:43,548

or that you thought, yeah, I'm

 

858

00:24:43,548 --> 00:24:44,249

riding the fence

 

859

00:24:44,249 --> 00:24:45,817

and having to wet or not.

 

860

00:24:45,817 --> 00:24:46,384

Not I,

 

861

00:24:46,384 --> 00:24:47,886

you know, it's such a pressure thing.

 

862

00:24:47,886 --> 00:24:49,354

I got to get it done

 

863

00:24:49,354 --> 00:24:50,622

and then know I never thought that.

 

864

00:24:50,622 --> 00:24:52,324

I always thought I was perfect.

 

865

00:24:52,324 --> 00:24:53,625

Me neither. But I'm just saying,

 

866

00:24:54,893 --> 00:24:56,061

no, I

 

867

00:24:56,061 --> 00:24:59,664

tell you, I have, and then you you you.

 

868

00:25:00,465 --> 00:25:01,466

It just doesn't go away.

 

869

00:25:01,466 --> 00:25:02,767

You you worry that.

 

870

00:25:02,767 --> 00:25:05,403

You know what a waste I would have.

 

871

00:25:05,403 --> 00:25:05,904

You know what I mean?

 

872

00:25:05,904 --> 00:25:06,338

Or maybe.

 

873

00:25:06,338 --> 00:25:08,106

See, this is an amazing part of you.

 

874

00:25:08,106 --> 00:25:10,675

Me that a lot of people don't know.

 

875

00:25:10,675 --> 00:25:12,878

I don't worry,

 

876

00:25:12,878 --> 00:25:13,712

no kidding.

 

877

00:25:13,712 --> 00:25:16,214

I don't carry around that bag of bricks.

 

878

00:25:16,214 --> 00:25:16,548

Okay?

 

879

00:25:16,548 --> 00:25:19,551

Pauline does all that for me.

 

880

00:25:19,818 --> 00:25:21,052

You seem like a guy

 

881

00:25:21,052 --> 00:25:22,654

who might have a lot of bag,

 

882

00:25:22,654 --> 00:25:24,322

a lot of bricks in your bag, Gary.

 

883

00:25:24,322 --> 00:25:27,158

And around me.

 

884

00:25:27,158 --> 00:25:28,226

Always empty.

 

885

00:25:28,226 --> 00:25:29,561

It's always empty. Yeah.

 

886

00:25:29,561 --> 00:25:31,997

I sleep like a baby all the time.

 

887

00:25:31,997 --> 00:25:34,266

You're like, no bricks in my bag. You.

 

888

00:25:34,266 --> 00:25:35,400

I can see you carry

 

889

00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:36,968

around a lot of bricks.

 

890

00:25:36,968 --> 00:25:38,970

My father in law would say about you.

 

891

00:25:38,970 --> 00:25:39,838

You're like a chicken.

 

892

00:25:39,838 --> 00:25:41,573

Every day is a brand new day. Yeah,

 

893

00:25:43,241 --> 00:25:44,509

almost.

 

894

00:25:44,509 --> 00:25:45,844

He's almost right.

 

895

00:25:45,844 --> 00:25:47,178

Now, I know you're busting

 

896

00:25:47,178 --> 00:25:50,181

my chops about a repeat story.

 

897

00:25:51,216 --> 00:25:53,919

You see the difference between you and I.

 

898

00:25:53,919 --> 00:25:55,854

You couldn't wait to jump on me.

 

899

00:25:55,854 --> 00:25:57,822

And the last show,

 

900

00:25:57,822 --> 00:26:00,625

we had already heard that fish and story.

 

901

00:26:00,625 --> 00:26:02,060

The kid with the fishing story.

 

902

00:26:02,060 --> 00:26:03,862

You told us that one before.

 

903

00:26:03,862 --> 00:26:04,629

Well, you should have stopped.

 

904

00:26:04,629 --> 00:26:06,565

But, you see, the difference is,

 

905

00:26:06,565 --> 00:26:08,533

I was like, that's a nice story.

 

906

00:26:08,533 --> 00:26:09,534

You know,

 

907

00:26:09,534 --> 00:26:10,969

that's how friends are

 

908

00:26:10,969 --> 00:26:12,604

a lot of people who listen to us,

 

909

00:26:12,604 --> 00:26:14,439

we're we're all friends now.

 

910

00:26:14,439 --> 00:26:16,708

Sometimes friends repeat stories.

 

911

00:26:16,708 --> 00:26:18,577

You don't have to gang up on it.

 

912

00:26:18,577 --> 00:26:21,112

Make him feel terrible, like a dope.

 

913

00:26:21,112 --> 00:26:22,814

Okay,

 

914

00:26:22,814 --> 00:26:24,182

let's just let it go.

 

915

00:26:24,182 --> 00:26:24,883

You see me, okay?

 

916

00:26:24,883 --> 00:26:26,585

I didn't say anything, okay?

 

917

00:26:26,585 --> 00:26:27,485

But I and

 

918

00:26:27,485 --> 00:26:30,021

I could have told that whole story.

 

919

00:26:30,021 --> 00:26:32,290

Okay? Nothing.

 

920

00:26:32,290 --> 00:26:33,258

All right?

 

921

00:26:33,258 --> 00:26:34,926

There's a difference.

 

922

00:26:34,926 --> 00:26:36,227

Oh, of course there is.

 

923

00:26:36,227 --> 00:26:37,529

Yes, yes, I mean, I can't wait.

 

924

00:26:37,529 --> 00:26:38,196

Differences.

 

925

00:26:38,196 --> 00:26:40,865

Oh, I bet it's the timing.

 

926

00:26:40,865 --> 00:26:42,968

As I was going through that story,

 

927

00:26:42,968 --> 00:26:43,969

I was thinking to myself,

 

928

00:26:45,570 --> 00:26:46,705

I mean, I think I maybe I

 

929

00:26:46,705 --> 00:26:47,973

told this story before,

 

930

00:26:47,973 --> 00:26:50,709

but if I had and I, you know, you

 

931

00:26:50,709 --> 00:26:52,777

clearly you brought it out that I did,

 

932

00:26:52,777 --> 00:26:55,747

that had to be like 25 episodes ago,

 

933

00:26:56,314 --> 00:26:56,948

right?

 

934

00:26:56,948 --> 00:26:58,917

Yours was two episodes ago.

 

935

00:26:58,917 --> 00:27:01,052

I do not remember from two episodes

 

936

00:27:01,052 --> 00:27:03,188

because I take the bricks out of the bag.

 

937

00:27:03,188 --> 00:27:06,157

I don't. It's okay.

 

938

00:27:06,524 --> 00:27:09,527

No no no no no,

 

939

00:27:09,661 --> 00:27:10,829

that's what he keeps me

 

940

00:27:10,829 --> 00:27:13,832

happy and go lucky.

 

941

00:27:13,898 --> 00:27:15,033

Happy and go lucky.

 

942

00:27:15,033 --> 00:27:17,602

That's me. Yeah.

 

943

00:27:17,602 --> 00:27:20,772

I admire that in some simplistic form.

 

944

00:27:21,206 --> 00:27:22,340

You should try it. It's.

 

945

00:27:22,340 --> 00:27:24,809

You know, it's nice being simple.

 

946

00:27:24,809 --> 00:27:25,910

Yeah, I actually, it's

 

947

00:27:25,910 --> 00:27:28,346

I it's very simple to be simple.

 

948

00:27:28,346 --> 00:27:31,249

I actually admire people like you

 

949

00:27:31,249 --> 00:27:34,252

in some way.

 

950

00:27:36,321 --> 00:27:39,024

Just go through life as a Rube, right?

 

951

00:27:39,024 --> 00:27:41,493

Yeah. It's just does it. Yeah.

 

952

00:27:41,493 --> 00:27:42,093

Yeah.

 

953

00:27:42,093 --> 00:27:43,595

It's the little things

 

954

00:27:43,595 --> 00:27:44,629

that keep me happy.

 

955

00:27:45,730 --> 00:27:46,131

You know?

 

956

00:27:46,131 --> 00:27:49,134

We have to worry about social norms.

 

957

00:27:49,901 --> 00:27:52,270

The thought of ever getting ahead.

 

958

00:27:52,270 --> 00:27:52,737

You just.

 

959

00:27:52,737 --> 00:27:54,606

Oh, that whole thing.

 

960

00:27:54,606 --> 00:27:55,807

Yeah. Yeah.

 

961

00:27:55,807 --> 00:27:57,409

Keeping up with the Joneses.

 

962

00:27:57,409 --> 00:27:58,610

Oh. Now that.

 

963

00:27:58,610 --> 00:28:01,613

No, no. All right.

 

964

00:28:01,980 --> 00:28:04,182

People should be keeping up with me.

 

965

00:28:04,182 --> 00:28:05,917

They should. The simple life.

 

966

00:28:05,917 --> 00:28:08,019

The simple life would Rob Johnson.

 

967

00:28:08,019 --> 00:28:10,388

That could be my new podcast,

 

968

00:28:10,388 --> 00:28:12,490

the Simple Life. Just me.

 

969

00:28:12,490 --> 00:28:13,124

Yeah.

 

970

00:28:13,124 --> 00:28:16,127

Telling people keep it simple.

 

971

00:28:17,896 --> 00:28:18,430

Well,

 

972

00:28:18,430 --> 00:28:19,431

you'll probably get to do that

 

973

00:28:19,431 --> 00:28:20,532

sooner than later.

 

974

00:28:20,532 --> 00:28:22,167

There's the show. Yeah. That's it.

 

975

00:28:22,167 --> 00:28:24,402

It's just.

 

976

00:28:24,402 --> 00:28:24,836

All right.

 

977

00:28:24,836 --> 00:28:26,871

I do need playing music, I guess.

 

978

00:28:26,871 --> 00:28:28,640

There you go.

 

979

00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:29,708

I really like this song.

 

980

00:28:29,708 --> 00:28:32,310

I don't know why, but,

 

981

00:28:32,310 --> 00:28:35,313

spin it for you.

 

982

00:28:36,247 --> 00:28:37,148

I do want to point out

 

983

00:28:37,148 --> 00:28:38,349

a couple of things,

 

984

00:28:38,349 --> 00:28:40,952

because I, I brought up, the,

 

985

00:28:40,952 --> 00:28:43,988

the, A51 adhesive on our A51.

 

986

00:28:43,988 --> 00:28:44,355

He said,

 

987

00:28:45,590 --> 00:28:46,725

a couple things.

 

988

00:28:46,725 --> 00:28:47,859

One, people

 

989

00:28:47,859 --> 00:28:48,526

may have noticed

 

990

00:28:48,526 --> 00:28:50,929

that we had a name change,

 

991

00:28:50,929 --> 00:28:51,830

not a product change.

 

992

00:28:51,830 --> 00:28:54,532

Is that absolutely exact same product?

 

993

00:28:54,532 --> 00:28:56,000

But the product's been.

 

994

00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,569

It's now called quantum.

 

995

00:28:57,569 --> 00:28:59,304

All right, 51,

 

996

00:28:59,304 --> 00:29:00,205

the reason behind

 

997

00:29:00,205 --> 00:29:01,339

that, people say, well, in fact,

 

998

00:29:01,339 --> 00:29:02,407

I see someone on the internet goes,

 

999

00:29:02,407 --> 00:29:03,608

why do these marketing people

 

1000

00:29:03,608 --> 00:29:05,677

want to just keep making up things

 

1001

00:29:05,677 --> 00:29:08,213

cracked me up.

 

1002

00:29:08,213 --> 00:29:09,748

If you think of the Nike,

 

1003

00:29:09,748 --> 00:29:11,683

if you think of Nike, the brand Nike,

 

1004

00:29:11,683 --> 00:29:13,485

you think of that swoosh, right?

 

1005

00:29:13,485 --> 00:29:14,085

I mean, how to make

 

1006

00:29:14,085 --> 00:29:15,553

that comes to your head?

 

1007

00:29:15,553 --> 00:29:17,756

Well, we are in, all over the world

 

1008

00:29:17,756 --> 00:29:19,524

now with the Bose adhesive

 

1009

00:29:19,524 --> 00:29:20,625

and under

 

1010

00:29:20,625 --> 00:29:21,192

different names

 

1011

00:29:21,192 --> 00:29:22,494

in different parts of the world.

 

1012

00:29:22,494 --> 00:29:25,497

So in order to align everything,

 

1013

00:29:25,497 --> 00:29:26,364

which is quantum

 

1014

00:29:26,364 --> 00:29:27,398

and over in Europe

 

1015

00:29:27,398 --> 00:29:29,467

and different areas of the world,

 

1016

00:29:29,467 --> 00:29:30,668

we decided to,

 

1017

00:29:30,668 --> 00:29:31,970

to put it all under the same umbrella

 

1018

00:29:31,970 --> 00:29:33,238

and call it quantum.

 

1019

00:29:33,238 --> 00:29:34,239

So there's no confusing.

 

1020

00:29:34,239 --> 00:29:35,340

I actually like the name anyhow.

 

1021

00:29:35,340 --> 00:29:37,075

Better quantum school.

 

1022

00:29:37,075 --> 00:29:38,643

It's like James Bond wasn't there.

 

1023

00:29:38,643 --> 00:29:40,812

Yeah, yeah, there's a James Bond movie.

 

1024

00:29:40,812 --> 00:29:43,815

Quantum Quantum of Solace, I think.

 

1025

00:29:43,948 --> 00:29:46,451

Quantum leap quantum something.

 

1026

00:29:46,451 --> 00:29:48,353

Yeah, but anyhow,

 

1027

00:29:48,353 --> 00:29:49,621

so just so people are aware of that.

 

1028

00:29:49,621 --> 00:29:51,055

And the other thing too is I had a guy

 

1029

00:29:51,055 --> 00:29:51,790

ask me today

 

1030

00:29:51,790 --> 00:29:52,757

why we put it

 

1031

00:29:52,757 --> 00:29:53,258

well, why

 

1032

00:29:53,258 --> 00:29:55,794

we put the adhesive in three gallon pails

 

1033

00:29:55,794 --> 00:29:58,329

and, instead of five gallon pails

 

1034

00:29:58,329 --> 00:29:59,364

and there's a, there's

 

1035

00:29:59,364 --> 00:30:00,999

actually a reason for that.

 

1036

00:30:00,999 --> 00:30:01,533

Actually, there's two

 

1037

00:30:01,533 --> 00:30:02,801

because guys like you and I

 

1038

00:30:02,801 --> 00:30:03,468

a long time ago,

 

1039

00:30:03,468 --> 00:30:04,335

we're much stronger

 

1040

00:30:04,335 --> 00:30:06,104

than the guys are today.

 

1041

00:30:06,104 --> 00:30:07,539

You're absolutely right.

 

1042

00:30:07,539 --> 00:30:08,439

Thanks.

 

1043

00:30:08,439 --> 00:30:09,307

Well, we

 

1044

00:30:09,307 --> 00:30:09,941

somebody is going to

 

1045

00:30:09,941 --> 00:30:11,075

I'm going to get hit.

 

1046

00:30:11,075 --> 00:30:12,410

Somebody is going to take a shot at me

 

1047

00:30:12,410 --> 00:30:13,178

for that one.

 

1048

00:30:13,178 --> 00:30:13,645

Yeah.

 

1049

00:30:13,645 --> 00:30:16,114

Wouldn't take much, than I'm.

 

1050

00:30:16,114 --> 00:30:17,315

I miss being strong.

 

1051

00:30:17,315 --> 00:30:18,817

You know, I've said that before.

 

1052

00:30:18,817 --> 00:30:19,617

You're going to remind me

 

1053

00:30:19,617 --> 00:30:21,352

that I said that one before. Two.

 

1054

00:30:21,352 --> 00:30:23,421

No, because I actually thought about that

 

1055

00:30:23,421 --> 00:30:24,088

just the other day.

 

1056

00:30:24,088 --> 00:30:25,056

In fact,

 

1057

00:30:25,056 --> 00:30:26,157

that crossed my mind

 

1058

00:30:26,157 --> 00:30:28,426

just probably a couple days ago

 

1059

00:30:28,426 --> 00:30:29,994

when I was sitting on the on the plane,

 

1060

00:30:29,994 --> 00:30:32,330

I folded my arms and I realized, oh.

 

1061

00:30:37,168 --> 00:30:38,970

It's not like it used to be.

 

1062

00:30:38,970 --> 00:30:39,737

I really.

 

1063

00:30:39,737 --> 00:30:42,106

Hey, there's a lot of room there.

 

1064

00:30:42,106 --> 00:30:45,109

Yeah, there's the shirts and the sleeves.

 

1065

00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:49,147

And I,

 

1066

00:30:49,147 --> 00:30:51,816

I absolutely will agree with you 100%.

 

1067

00:30:51,816 --> 00:30:53,084

I don't mind getting older.

 

1068

00:30:53,084 --> 00:30:55,286

I'm fine with my station in life,

 

1069

00:30:55,286 --> 00:30:57,222

but I do really do miss being strong.

 

1070

00:30:57,222 --> 00:30:57,822

You know that feeling

 

1071

00:30:57,822 --> 00:30:58,489

when you're installers.

 

1072

00:30:58,489 --> 00:31:01,492

So you guys are installing 000

 

1073

00:31:01,726 --> 00:31:03,728

when you're installing today

 

1074

00:31:03,728 --> 00:31:04,996

and you're in your zone

 

1075

00:31:04,996 --> 00:31:06,097

and you feel good, man.

 

1076

00:31:06,097 --> 00:31:06,598

You know what I mean?

 

1077

00:31:06,598 --> 00:31:07,866

You, you're walking up the stairs

 

1078

00:31:07,866 --> 00:31:09,367

you can carry with no problem.

 

1079

00:31:09,367 --> 00:31:10,268

You throw the wood down

 

1080

00:31:10,268 --> 00:31:11,436

and you start installing.

 

1081

00:31:11,436 --> 00:31:14,439

You're a man or woman that's in shape.

 

1082

00:31:14,639 --> 00:31:16,140

And,

 

1083

00:31:16,140 --> 00:31:17,542

that's not always going to be that way.

 

1084

00:31:17,542 --> 00:31:19,344

And pick the drum up

 

1085

00:31:19,344 --> 00:31:22,146

off of the truck by yourself

 

1086

00:31:22,146 --> 00:31:23,381

like nothing, right?

 

1087

00:31:23,381 --> 00:31:24,682

Yeah, yeah.

 

1088

00:31:24,682 --> 00:31:25,850

And in your heads, playing

 

1089

00:31:25,850 --> 00:31:27,485

Bob Seger like a rock.

 

1090

00:31:27,485 --> 00:31:29,487

Like a rock. Exactly.

 

1091

00:31:29,487 --> 00:31:30,188

Yeah. Well, now we're.

 

1092

00:31:30,188 --> 00:31:31,022

Now we're playing Barry

 

1093

00:31:31,022 --> 00:31:33,157

Manilow in our heads. Yeah.

 

1094

00:31:34,359 --> 00:31:37,362

Looks like we made it

 

1095

00:31:37,629 --> 00:31:39,097

now.

 

1096

00:31:39,097 --> 00:31:40,365

So, anyhow,

 

1097

00:31:40,365 --> 00:31:41,466

Yeah, you're right about that.

 

1098

00:31:41,466 --> 00:31:42,767

I definitely do miss that.

 

1099

00:31:42,767 --> 00:31:45,770

I, I so when we,

 

1100

00:31:46,804 --> 00:31:49,040

when we back to get in shape so late and

 

1101

00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,276

it's not going to happen again.

 

1102

00:31:51,276 --> 00:31:53,711

But they answer that guy's question of

 

1103

00:31:53,711 --> 00:31:55,313

the three pals is two reasons for that.

 

1104

00:31:55,313 --> 00:31:56,347

One is,

 

1105

00:31:56,347 --> 00:31:57,982

if you'll notice with our signing

 

1106

00:31:57,982 --> 00:31:58,416

that he said,

 

1107

00:31:58,416 --> 00:32:01,419

you get very, very, very good,

 

1108

00:32:01,986 --> 00:32:03,888

spread rates on the adhesives

 

1109

00:32:03,888 --> 00:32:05,857

and a couple that with you,

 

1110

00:32:05,857 --> 00:32:08,159

you get fantastic moisture protection

 

1111

00:32:08,159 --> 00:32:10,762

per square foot with the adhesive.

 

1112

00:32:10,762 --> 00:32:12,397

But the other thing is

 

1113

00:32:12,397 --> 00:32:14,399

the three gallon pail.

 

1114

00:32:14,399 --> 00:32:16,968

They they weigh 41.7 pounds apiece.

 

1115

00:32:16,968 --> 00:32:18,970

Okay, a five gallon pill.

 

1116

00:32:18,970 --> 00:32:20,438

I just looked up

 

1117

00:32:20,438 --> 00:32:22,507

another manufacturer's five gallon pail

 

1118

00:32:22,507 --> 00:32:24,676

as a matter who,

 

1119

00:32:24,676 --> 00:32:26,678

they weigh 63 pounds.

 

1120

00:32:26,678 --> 00:32:28,279

If you're carrying two pails,

 

1121

00:32:28,279 --> 00:32:30,848

you're carrying 126 pounds.

 

1122

00:32:30,848 --> 00:32:31,916

That with

 

1123

00:32:31,916 --> 00:32:34,686

with just on a single, you know, handle.

 

1124

00:32:34,686 --> 00:32:36,788

That's like a 50% increase in weight.

 

1125

00:32:38,222 --> 00:32:39,190

That's a lot of weight

 

1126

00:32:39,190 --> 00:32:40,058

carrying up and down

 

1127

00:32:40,058 --> 00:32:41,292

as you get older in this business

 

1128

00:32:41,292 --> 00:32:42,126

and you're back.

 

1129

00:32:42,126 --> 00:32:43,061

And what have you been talking about?

 

1130

00:32:43,061 --> 00:32:44,395

Protecting your back.

 

1131

00:32:44,395 --> 00:32:46,531

So that absolutely is

 

1132

00:32:46,531 --> 00:32:47,732

part of the consideration.

 

1133

00:32:47,732 --> 00:32:48,166

Believe me,

 

1134

00:32:48,166 --> 00:32:49,334

I know all about

 

1135

00:32:49,334 --> 00:32:50,702

carrying a lot of weight.

 

1136

00:32:50,702 --> 00:32:53,404

I know I don't, I,

 

1137

00:32:53,404 --> 00:32:56,407

I would never I, I,

 

1138

00:32:56,574 --> 00:32:58,977

live in that every day.

 

1139

00:32:58,977 --> 00:33:00,979

You're working on it.

 

1140

00:33:00,979 --> 00:33:03,281

You know me both were working on it.

 

1141

00:33:03,281 --> 00:33:04,682

I always thought it was easy to carry

 

1142

00:33:04,682 --> 00:33:06,217

two pails. Rather than one.

 

1143

00:33:06,217 --> 00:33:08,186

I agree it is about.

 

1144

00:33:08,186 --> 00:33:10,288

I always thought that carry two.

 

1145

00:33:10,288 --> 00:33:12,390

It's much easier than carrying one.

 

1146

00:33:12,390 --> 00:33:15,393

Yeah, but 126 pounds.

 

1147

00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:16,260

You know, I,

 

1148

00:33:16,260 --> 00:33:19,263

I versus, you know, what, 82 pounds.

 

1149

00:33:19,497 --> 00:33:20,765

So that's a lot,

 

1150

00:33:20,765 --> 00:33:21,566

a lot of difference there.

 

1151

00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,202

So for a guy like you though,

 

1152

00:33:24,202 --> 00:33:25,269

I mean, yeah,

 

1153

00:33:25,269 --> 00:33:28,239

we just established that I'm a wimp now.

 

1154

00:33:31,542 --> 00:33:33,044

This is the whole airplane

 

1155

00:33:33,044 --> 00:33:35,179

chicken wing arms of yours now.

 

1156

00:33:35,179 --> 00:33:36,147

But, you know,

 

1157

00:33:36,147 --> 00:33:37,715

there are times I was at a gas station.

 

1158

00:33:37,715 --> 00:33:38,783

We talked about Mississippi,

 

1159

00:33:38,783 --> 00:33:41,386

that I was in Mississippi

 

1160

00:33:41,386 --> 00:33:44,055

going into a gas station, my rental car.

 

1161

00:33:44,055 --> 00:33:46,224

And this guy's in front of me in a truck,

 

1162

00:33:46,224 --> 00:33:48,259

and he backs in. There's three pumps.

 

1163

00:33:48,259 --> 00:33:49,594

They're all open.

 

1164

00:33:49,594 --> 00:33:52,430

So he's backing in, so I fall.

 

1165

00:33:52,430 --> 00:33:53,398

So I'm going, you know,

 

1166

00:33:53,398 --> 00:33:55,433

and then he gets midway the pump.

 

1167

00:33:55,433 --> 00:33:58,202

He stops and like stops and looks at me

 

1168

00:33:58,202 --> 00:33:59,303

like what?

 

1169

00:33:59,303 --> 00:34:00,505

So then he backs up again.

 

1170

00:34:00,505 --> 00:34:01,272

He's going to the other pump.

 

1171

00:34:01,272 --> 00:34:03,441

So I, I'm following him something okay

 

1172

00:34:03,441 --> 00:34:04,375

whatever pump you stop

 

1173

00:34:04,375 --> 00:34:06,010

and I'll go to the next one.

 

1174

00:34:06,010 --> 00:34:08,279

So then he stops me and I can see him

 

1175

00:34:09,614 --> 00:34:10,481

yelling at me

 

1176

00:34:10,481 --> 00:34:11,816

right through his, through his window.

 

1177

00:34:11,816 --> 00:34:14,318

Right. Something. And,

 

1178

00:34:14,318 --> 00:34:16,754

so I, you know, time.

 

1179

00:34:16,754 --> 00:34:17,855

I won't do it again, Joe.

 

1180

00:34:17,855 --> 00:34:18,656

No, no, no,

 

1181

00:34:18,656 --> 00:34:19,357

I get out of the car

 

1182

00:34:19,357 --> 00:34:20,324

and I go over to where I go.

 

1183

00:34:20,324 --> 00:34:22,760

I say, partner as it what's matter?

 

1184

00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,062

I said, I'm trying to give you room.

 

1185

00:34:24,062 --> 00:34:25,863

I don't know which pump you want.

 

1186

00:34:25,863 --> 00:34:27,665

And because I start a little bit,

 

1187

00:34:27,665 --> 00:34:30,368

came back and I realize,

 

1188

00:34:30,368 --> 00:34:32,336

no, you don't need to,

 

1189

00:34:32,336 --> 00:34:34,238

you know, get out of the car.

 

1190

00:34:34,238 --> 00:34:35,840

You don't need to be that that guy.

 

1191

00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:36,974

Yeah. So.

 

1192

00:34:36,974 --> 00:34:37,975

And so what happened?

 

1193

00:34:37,975 --> 00:34:39,744

Did he,

 

1194

00:34:39,744 --> 00:34:42,013

he he, Who did he say?

 

1195

00:34:42,013 --> 00:34:43,948

He didn't apologize, but he said,

 

1196

00:34:43,948 --> 00:34:45,583

just like it's over, man.

 

1197

00:34:45,583 --> 00:34:46,417

Don't worry about it. Whatever.

 

1198

00:34:46,417 --> 00:34:46,918

They blew it up.

 

1199

00:34:46,918 --> 00:34:48,586

So then we go in the store,

 

1200

00:34:48,586 --> 00:34:49,787

so buying,

 

1201

00:34:49,787 --> 00:34:50,288

Diet Coke,

 

1202

00:34:50,288 --> 00:34:52,890

because that's what keeps me in shape.

 

1203

00:34:52,890 --> 00:34:55,426

So he said he's behind me,

 

1204

00:34:55,426 --> 00:34:56,094

so I said, hey,

 

1205

00:34:56,094 --> 00:34:57,562

I say pardon, I, I was trying yeah.

 

1206

00:34:57,562 --> 00:34:58,496

Anyway.

 

1207

00:34:58,496 --> 00:34:59,831

Yeah. Yeah, man, don't worry about.

 

1208

00:34:59,831 --> 00:35:00,431

It's all right.

 

1209

00:35:00,431 --> 00:35:02,900

School made me okay. Yeah.

 

1210

00:35:02,900 --> 00:35:03,134

So.

 

1211

00:35:03,134 --> 00:35:04,869

But, Yeah, it's,

 

1212

00:35:04,869 --> 00:35:06,337

clearly not a smart thing.

 

1213

00:35:06,337 --> 00:35:07,238

Let me ask you a question.

 

1214

00:35:07,238 --> 00:35:09,240

Could you have taken the guy?

 

1215

00:35:09,240 --> 00:35:11,409

No. No. Probably not.

 

1216

00:35:13,511 --> 00:35:16,481

I probably that.

 

1217

00:35:16,481 --> 00:35:18,549

I think I'm, I think I'm all right.

 

1218

00:35:18,549 --> 00:35:21,519

I think I'm four and 15.

 

1219

00:35:27,992 --> 00:35:28,259

Yeah,

 

1220

00:35:28,259 --> 00:35:29,694

I have a much better record

 

1221

00:35:29,694 --> 00:35:30,761

against drugs.

 

1222

00:35:30,761 --> 00:35:32,830

Unlike undefeated. Against drugs.

 

1223

00:35:32,830 --> 00:35:33,598

Yeah, but,

 

1224

00:35:33,598 --> 00:35:34,899

you know, the other record

 

1225

00:35:34,899 --> 00:35:36,367

where I don't need to get into that.

 

1226

00:35:36,367 --> 00:35:37,201

Yeah, yeah,

 

1227

00:35:37,201 --> 00:35:40,204

but you can ask all my buddies.

 

1228

00:35:40,238 --> 00:35:42,206

Yeah, I get no against drugs.

 

1229

00:35:42,206 --> 00:35:43,107

The bad thing about that

 

1230

00:35:43,107 --> 00:35:45,143

is they silver up.

 

1231

00:35:45,143 --> 00:35:45,843

You know,

 

1232

00:35:45,843 --> 00:35:46,944

while they might not remember you,

 

1233

00:35:46,944 --> 00:35:49,947

their friends might remember you.

 

1234

00:35:50,047 --> 00:35:51,082

And that point years ago.

 

1235

00:35:51,082 --> 00:35:52,450

Hey, I was drunk, too.

 

1236

00:35:52,450 --> 00:35:54,152

I don't know what happened.

 

1237

00:35:54,152 --> 00:35:55,686

All right, so it's just a couple things

 

1238

00:35:55,686 --> 00:35:56,988

I just want to touch on to

 

1239

00:35:56,988 --> 00:35:58,956

Rob is that, you know,

 

1240

00:35:58,956 --> 00:35:59,991

the difference between, say,

 

1241

00:35:59,991 --> 00:36:00,758

a high performance

 

1242

00:36:00,758 --> 00:36:03,761

panels and sub floors and, and,

 

1243

00:36:04,495 --> 00:36:07,498

plywood and OSB is a,

 

1244

00:36:08,132 --> 00:36:10,234

I guess several different factors.

 

1245

00:36:10,234 --> 00:36:12,570

More wood is packed into the high,

 

1246

00:36:12,570 --> 00:36:13,838

performance panels

 

1247

00:36:13,838 --> 00:36:15,339

and produces a more dense,

 

1248

00:36:15,339 --> 00:36:16,774

much more stronger panel on it.

 

1249

00:36:16,774 --> 00:36:19,377

And it, it grips the fasteners better

 

1250

00:36:19,377 --> 00:36:20,244

and they also have

 

1251

00:36:20,244 --> 00:36:21,712

better resins in there.

 

1252

00:36:21,712 --> 00:36:23,314

So there's a difference in the,

 

1253

00:36:23,314 --> 00:36:25,716

in the definitely in the substrates.

 

1254

00:36:25,716 --> 00:36:26,951

The difference between plywood

 

1255

00:36:26,951 --> 00:36:29,620

and OSB is a moisture content regarding

 

1256

00:36:29,620 --> 00:36:30,588

applied finished flooring,

 

1257

00:36:31,556 --> 00:36:33,424

for instance,

 

1258

00:36:33,424 --> 00:36:35,193

plywood tends to buckle and warp

 

1259

00:36:35,193 --> 00:36:36,427

and delimited,

 

1260

00:36:36,427 --> 00:36:38,896

when it's exposed to excess moisture

 

1261

00:36:38,896 --> 00:36:41,766

and the OSB swells,

 

1262

00:36:41,766 --> 00:36:43,367

more especially around the perimeter.

 

1263

00:36:43,367 --> 00:36:44,502

That's exactly what happened

 

1264

00:36:44,502 --> 00:36:46,070

with my brother's floor.

 

1265

00:36:46,070 --> 00:36:46,804

Is that right?

 

1266

00:36:46,804 --> 00:36:49,173

That OSB, it all swollen up

 

1267

00:36:49,173 --> 00:36:51,275

and it had absolutely no holding

 

1268

00:36:51,275 --> 00:36:53,010

power for the nails.

 

1269

00:36:53,010 --> 00:36:54,445

So what happened

 

1270

00:36:54,445 --> 00:36:55,580

was the OSB

 

1271

00:36:55,580 --> 00:36:57,348

manufacturers started to like,

 

1272

00:36:57,348 --> 00:36:59,283

to seal around the edges

 

1273

00:36:59,283 --> 00:37:00,051

to stop that

 

1274

00:37:00,051 --> 00:37:01,419

swelling and stuff for happy.

 

1275

00:37:01,419 --> 00:37:02,887

But, you know,

 

1276

00:37:02,887 --> 00:37:03,888

you get on a jobsite

 

1277

00:37:03,888 --> 00:37:05,389

and you're going to make cuts, right?

 

1278

00:37:05,389 --> 00:37:05,690

Right.

 

1279

00:37:05,690 --> 00:37:06,090

You're going to

 

1280

00:37:06,090 --> 00:37:07,058

you're going to cut the fit.

 

1281

00:37:07,058 --> 00:37:08,960

And so that kind of goes out the window.

 

1282

00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:10,761

So what

 

1283

00:37:10,761 --> 00:37:11,829

you also have to consider

 

1284

00:37:11,829 --> 00:37:14,198

the flatness of the substrate.

 

1285

00:37:14,198 --> 00:37:14,732

You know, again

 

1286

00:37:14,732 --> 00:37:15,666

we talked about how expensive

 

1287

00:37:15,666 --> 00:37:17,034

these floors are today.

 

1288

00:37:17,034 --> 00:37:18,502

So making sure these floors are

 

1289

00:37:18,502 --> 00:37:19,604

are good and flat.

 

1290

00:37:20,638 --> 00:37:21,973

My brother was on a job.

 

1291

00:37:21,973 --> 00:37:24,775

My two brothers ran a job one time,

 

1292

00:37:24,775 --> 00:37:26,477

I think it was last year.

 

1293

00:37:26,477 --> 00:37:28,779

And, the guy, the

 

1294

00:37:28,779 --> 00:37:31,382

the guy had screwed down the subfloor,

 

1295

00:37:31,382 --> 00:37:33,451

but this is the pre finished floor.

 

1296

00:37:33,451 --> 00:37:34,585

But he was like,

 

1297

00:37:34,585 --> 00:37:36,087

every the screws are taking

 

1298

00:37:36,087 --> 00:37:37,355

screws was like sticking up

 

1299

00:37:37,355 --> 00:37:38,789

like a, like an eighth of an inch

 

1300

00:37:38,789 --> 00:37:40,524

the heads. Right.

 

1301

00:37:40,524 --> 00:37:43,227

So and my brother's Doug is, as

 

1302

00:37:43,227 --> 00:37:44,695

meticulous as can be.

 

1303

00:37:44,695 --> 00:37:46,497

This is our big time custom builder.

 

1304

00:37:46,497 --> 00:37:47,198

I mean,

 

1305

00:37:47,198 --> 00:37:48,232

none of these homes are under

 

1306

00:37:48,232 --> 00:37:50,268

$3 million minimum.

 

1307

00:37:50,268 --> 00:37:52,203

And, this home was,

 

1308

00:37:52,203 --> 00:37:54,405

way more expensive than that.

 

1309

00:37:54,405 --> 00:37:56,807

And, so he was prepping the subfloor,

 

1310

00:37:56,807 --> 00:37:59,610

and he he just he said, you know what

 

1311

00:37:59,610 --> 00:38:00,344

I'm taking?

 

1312

00:38:00,344 --> 00:38:01,479

I'll I'll just re screw

 

1313

00:38:01,479 --> 00:38:03,347

the whole floor down myself to himself.

 

1314

00:38:03,347 --> 00:38:05,783

It was on a Saturday, and he was just

 

1315

00:38:06,817 --> 00:38:07,752

taking all the screws out.

 

1316

00:38:07,752 --> 00:38:08,786

Right.

 

1317

00:38:08,786 --> 00:38:10,421

And the owner of the company

 

1318

00:38:10,421 --> 00:38:12,590

had flown in from, from Orange County.

 

1319

00:38:12,590 --> 00:38:13,491

This is a Bay area floor.

 

1320

00:38:13,491 --> 00:38:14,558

He don't this guy, you know,

 

1321

00:38:14,558 --> 00:38:15,059

you don't ever see

 

1322

00:38:15,059 --> 00:38:16,961

this guy ever on a jobsite.

 

1323

00:38:16,961 --> 00:38:19,797

He's he's the guy for this company.

 

1324

00:38:19,797 --> 00:38:21,966

And he walked in with somebody else,

 

1325

00:38:21,966 --> 00:38:23,634

and he sees my brother.

 

1326

00:38:23,634 --> 00:38:26,337

He goes, what the hell are you doing?

 

1327

00:38:26,337 --> 00:38:26,737

And he was.

 

1328

00:38:26,737 --> 00:38:28,439

And my brother's like, oh, shoot.

 

1329

00:38:28,439 --> 00:38:29,273

I mean, who is this guy?

 

1330

00:38:29,273 --> 00:38:30,107

You know?

 

1331

00:38:30,107 --> 00:38:31,709

And, he goes, well, look,

 

1332

00:38:31,709 --> 00:38:33,210

I'm just want to show you something.

 

1333

00:38:33,210 --> 00:38:34,011

He goes, all these,

 

1334

00:38:34,011 --> 00:38:34,845

all these sub floors,

 

1335

00:38:34,845 --> 00:38:35,880

if you run your hand, here he goes.

 

1336

00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:37,648

They're all up proud a little bit,

 

1337

00:38:37,648 --> 00:38:38,649

all of them.

 

1338

00:38:38,649 --> 00:38:38,916

He goes.

 

1339

00:38:38,916 --> 00:38:39,917

If I try to screw them down

 

1340

00:38:39,917 --> 00:38:40,418

any further it's

 

1341

00:38:40,418 --> 00:38:41,452

not not really going to work.

 

1342

00:38:41,452 --> 00:38:42,853

So I'm just going to screw

 

1343

00:38:42,853 --> 00:38:44,689

the whole software over again.

 

1344

00:38:44,689 --> 00:38:47,124

And he goes, who are you?

 

1345

00:38:47,124 --> 00:38:49,026

And he goes, well with Highland for us

 

1346

00:38:49,026 --> 00:38:49,760

we're doing the floors.

 

1347

00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:51,228

He goes, you're installing the floors,

 

1348

00:38:51,228 --> 00:38:52,396

you know. Yeah.

 

1349

00:38:52,396 --> 00:38:53,798

You know, then you took all these screws

 

1350

00:38:53,798 --> 00:38:54,732

and you're going to screw the horse

 

1351

00:38:54,732 --> 00:38:56,767

up for now, you know. Yeah.

 

1352

00:38:56,767 --> 00:38:58,002

And he guy reached out his hand.

 

1353

00:38:58,002 --> 00:38:58,569

He shook his hand.

 

1354

00:38:58,569 --> 00:39:01,605

He goes, hey, I want to sincerely

 

1355

00:39:01,605 --> 00:39:03,507

thank you very much for for the effort

 

1356

00:39:03,507 --> 00:39:04,709

you put into this job.

 

1357

00:39:04,709 --> 00:39:07,478

I really want to thank you very much.

 

1358

00:39:07,478 --> 00:39:09,313

And, both of you guys and I

 

1359

00:39:09,313 --> 00:39:10,448

then he was like, over the top

 

1360

00:39:11,682 --> 00:39:14,685

when the other guy showed up on Monday,

 

1361

00:39:14,919 --> 00:39:16,987

the superintendent goes, hey, who did you

 

1362

00:39:16,987 --> 00:39:18,656

who did you guys talk to someone?

 

1363

00:39:18,656 --> 00:39:21,325

So he goes, yeah. He goes, Holy smokes.

 

1364

00:39:21,325 --> 00:39:22,226

I mean, he could

 

1365

00:39:22,226 --> 00:39:24,161

not say enough about you guys.

 

1366

00:39:24,161 --> 00:39:25,696

So,

 

1367

00:39:25,696 --> 00:39:28,165

you know, there's a little it's

 

1368

00:39:28,165 --> 00:39:31,168

amazing how well they're doing.

 

1369

00:39:31,268 --> 00:39:31,669

So.

 

1370

00:39:31,669 --> 00:39:33,337

Yeah, amazing how they.

 

1371

00:39:33,337 --> 00:39:35,573

I mean, I don't know what happened.

 

1372

00:39:35,573 --> 00:39:36,540

Yeah. When did you think?

 

1373

00:39:36,540 --> 00:39:38,109

Well, I don't know.

 

1374

00:39:38,109 --> 00:39:39,610

I don't know when that happened.

 

1375

00:39:39,610 --> 00:39:40,978

I don't,

 

1376

00:39:40,978 --> 00:39:43,047

maybe, I don't know,

 

1377

00:39:43,047 --> 00:39:46,751

0506 something something happened.

 

1378

00:39:47,017 --> 00:39:48,352

Something happened there. Yeah.

 

1379

00:39:48,352 --> 00:39:50,287

But but boy, they just seemed

 

1380

00:39:50,287 --> 00:39:51,455

just like a rocket.

 

1381

00:39:51,455 --> 00:39:52,056

Just like a.

 

1382

00:39:52,056 --> 00:39:53,224

Yeah, yeah.

 

1383

00:39:53,224 --> 00:39:54,925

It's almost like they, you know,

 

1384

00:39:54,925 --> 00:39:56,827

it was almost like they

 

1385

00:39:56,827 --> 00:39:58,863

they dropped their drag.

 

1386

00:39:58,863 --> 00:40:00,131

Okay. You remember.

 

1387

00:40:00,131 --> 00:40:02,166

Yeah. Waldo Waldman right.

 

1388

00:40:02,166 --> 00:40:03,768

You get lift. Yeah.

 

1389

00:40:03,768 --> 00:40:04,735

And you get drag.

 

1390

00:40:04,735 --> 00:40:07,538

And something happen in Highlander floor

 

1391

00:40:07,538 --> 00:40:08,506

where man

 

1392

00:40:08,506 --> 00:40:11,509

they just let that drag going boom.

 

1393

00:40:11,675 --> 00:40:13,677

Highlander floors just took off.

 

1394

00:40:13,677 --> 00:40:15,679

And I was like, oh 5 or 6.

 

1395

00:40:15,679 --> 00:40:17,281

Maybe somewhere in there.

 

1396

00:40:17,281 --> 00:40:18,916

You don't think I was a drag, do you?

 

1397

00:40:20,217 --> 00:40:21,519

No, no, no, not at all.

 

1398

00:40:21,519 --> 00:40:23,254

I don't know what happened, but yeah.

 

1399

00:40:23,254 --> 00:40:25,189

Something happened. Yeah.

 

1400

00:40:25,189 --> 00:40:27,024

Lift and drag, baby. Yeah.

 

1401

00:40:27,024 --> 00:40:28,993

And drag it. Serve.

 

1402

00:40:28,993 --> 00:40:30,961

All right, so that's subclause,

 

1403

00:40:30,961 --> 00:40:32,963

and there's a little that's,

 

1404

00:40:32,963 --> 00:40:34,365

kind of a lesson in like to.

 

1405

00:40:34,365 --> 00:40:35,199

I've always said to

 

1406

00:40:35,199 --> 00:40:37,168

you never know who's watching you.

 

1407

00:40:37,168 --> 00:40:37,468

Even.

 

1408

00:40:37,468 --> 00:40:40,304

Is it working for a corporation?

 

1409

00:40:40,304 --> 00:40:41,405

Working in the field?

 

1410

00:40:41,405 --> 00:40:42,740

Any job you have,

 

1411

00:40:42,740 --> 00:40:43,674

you never, never,

 

1412

00:40:43,674 --> 00:40:45,476

never know who's watching you.

 

1413

00:40:45,476 --> 00:40:48,279

And, to a poor kid, opportunities

 

1414

00:40:48,279 --> 00:40:51,282

come very seldom in life.

 

1415

00:40:51,282 --> 00:40:52,349

And one of the worst things

 

1416

00:40:52,349 --> 00:40:53,317

that can possibly happen

 

1417

00:40:53,317 --> 00:40:55,119

is that one comes in.

 

1418

00:40:55,119 --> 00:40:56,654

You're not ready for it.

 

1419

00:40:56,654 --> 00:40:58,556

So, you know,

 

1420

00:40:58,556 --> 00:40:59,957

I'm going to tell a little story.

 

1421

00:40:59,957 --> 00:41:00,758

You're right.

 

1422

00:41:00,758 --> 00:41:03,761

You never know who's watching you.

 

1423

00:41:04,061 --> 00:41:05,896

And I've told, actually,

 

1424

00:41:05,896 --> 00:41:07,298

I told the story,

 

1425

00:41:07,298 --> 00:41:08,098

when we were talking

 

1426

00:41:08,098 --> 00:41:09,633

about worst jobs ever.

 

1427

00:41:09,633 --> 00:41:11,035

And the one beating I was

 

1428

00:41:11,035 --> 00:41:13,237

on was Albany International.

 

1429

00:41:13,237 --> 00:41:15,539

And we went Friday night and work

 

1430

00:41:15,539 --> 00:41:18,375

till Monday morning. Right.

 

1431

00:41:18,375 --> 00:41:19,944

And one day it was,

 

1432

00:41:21,011 --> 00:41:22,379

it was like Saturday

 

1433

00:41:22,379 --> 00:41:23,647

morning, you know, so

 

1434

00:41:23,647 --> 00:41:26,350

we stop or having something to eat

 

1435

00:41:26,350 --> 00:41:28,352

and you can see all the equipment

 

1436

00:41:28,352 --> 00:41:29,220

and all the,

 

1437

00:41:29,220 --> 00:41:29,553

you know,

 

1438

00:41:29,553 --> 00:41:30,321

everything around

 

1439

00:41:30,321 --> 00:41:31,188

you can tell that,

 

1440

00:41:31,188 --> 00:41:31,589

you know,

 

1441

00:41:31,589 --> 00:41:33,858

we had been gone through the night

 

1442

00:41:33,858 --> 00:41:36,293

and, this guy just comes walking up.

 

1443

00:41:36,293 --> 00:41:38,162

We didn't know who he was,

 

1444

00:41:38,162 --> 00:41:41,165

sits down, he's talking to us.

 

1445

00:41:41,232 --> 00:41:42,199

Normal guy.

 

1446

00:41:42,199 --> 00:41:42,666

You know,

 

1447

00:41:42,666 --> 00:41:43,767

I thought he was some kind of

 

1448

00:41:43,767 --> 00:41:45,369

maybe a manager

 

1449

00:41:45,369 --> 00:41:47,004

coming in to work on equipment or.

 

1450

00:41:47,004 --> 00:41:48,172

I didn't know who he was.

 

1451

00:41:48,172 --> 00:41:49,607

Nice. Nice guy.

 

1452

00:41:49,607 --> 00:41:52,343

Talk to us for 45 minutes.

 

1453

00:41:52,343 --> 00:41:55,346

Gets up, leaves we go back to work.

 

1454

00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,015

It was the owner, CEO

 

1455

00:41:58,015 --> 00:41:59,450

of Albany International.

 

1456

00:41:59,450 --> 00:42:01,252

This is a publicly traded company,

 

1457

00:42:01,252 --> 00:42:04,088

so we had no idea who he was.

 

1458

00:42:04,088 --> 00:42:05,523

He introduced himself

 

1459

00:42:05,523 --> 00:42:06,457

whenever he even picked

 

1460

00:42:06,457 --> 00:42:07,925

up on the name right.

 

1461

00:42:08,859 --> 00:42:11,862

And that's funny you said that because

 

1462

00:42:12,396 --> 00:42:15,399

when we're leaving Monday morning,

 

1463

00:42:15,733 --> 00:42:17,167

the guy who we were,

 

1464

00:42:17,167 --> 00:42:19,603

you know, our contact and everything,

 

1465

00:42:19,603 --> 00:42:21,639

he's like, what the hell did you do?

 

1466

00:42:21,639 --> 00:42:23,274

And I'm like, I don't know.

 

1467

00:42:23,274 --> 00:42:24,008

He goes,

 

1468

00:42:24,008 --> 00:42:25,476

you don't even know who you talk to.

 

1469

00:42:25,476 --> 00:42:27,244

Yeah, I don't know what it

 

1470

00:42:27,244 --> 00:42:27,678

I don't even know

 

1471

00:42:27,678 --> 00:42:28,779

what you're talking about.

 

1472

00:42:28,779 --> 00:42:30,080

He goes Saturday morning.

 

1473

00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:30,247

Yeah,

 

1474

00:42:30,247 --> 00:42:32,082

I can't remember the guy's name, he said.

 

1475

00:42:32,082 --> 00:42:33,384

But so it's funny,

 

1476

00:42:33,384 --> 00:42:34,685

it's the same exact thing.

 

1477

00:42:34,685 --> 00:42:36,987

We had no idea who the guy was.

 

1478

00:42:36,987 --> 00:42:39,990

Really super nice guy and everything

 

1479

00:42:40,090 --> 00:42:41,325

very down to earth.

 

1480

00:42:41,325 --> 00:42:42,826

And, boy,

 

1481

00:42:42,826 --> 00:42:44,528

did we get a lot of work after that too.

 

1482

00:42:44,528 --> 00:42:44,995

We did

 

1483

00:42:44,995 --> 00:42:47,364

get tons and tons of work

 

1484

00:42:47,364 --> 00:42:48,799

at that place after that.

 

1485

00:42:48,799 --> 00:42:49,934

So you're right.

 

1486

00:42:49,934 --> 00:42:51,368

You never know.

 

1487

00:42:51,368 --> 00:42:53,404

And probably still to this day,

 

1488

00:42:53,404 --> 00:42:54,104

you don't know what it

 

1489

00:42:54,104 --> 00:42:55,306

means to be publicly traded.

 

1490

00:43:01,478 --> 00:43:03,614

Boy, oh, boy, I thought I had one there.

 

1491

00:43:03,614 --> 00:43:04,682

You know, I thought,

 

1492

00:43:04,682 --> 00:43:05,916

maybe I'll get one in,

 

1493

00:43:05,916 --> 00:43:08,919

you know, one kind of, Yeah.

 

1494

00:43:10,654 --> 00:43:11,855

I'm going to tell you another story

 

1495

00:43:11,855 --> 00:43:14,258

about you never know.

 

1496

00:43:14,258 --> 00:43:16,060

You never know who's watching.

 

1497

00:43:16,060 --> 00:43:17,061

Yeah.

 

1498

00:43:17,061 --> 00:43:19,763

Is this this goes for work.

 

1499

00:43:19,763 --> 00:43:21,665

This is this is work.

 

1500

00:43:21,665 --> 00:43:22,633

This is work.

 

1501

00:43:22,633 --> 00:43:25,302

No, no, this is all work. Okay?

 

1502

00:43:25,302 --> 00:43:26,303

I know who's watching me.

 

1503

00:43:26,303 --> 00:43:29,073

All tells.

 

1504

00:43:29,073 --> 00:43:32,042

So bowling alleys, start to get.

 

1505

00:43:32,042 --> 00:43:32,876

And I think I've talked

 

1506

00:43:32,876 --> 00:43:34,345

about this before,

 

1507

00:43:34,345 --> 00:43:35,079

where we used

 

1508

00:43:35,079 --> 00:43:36,847

to pump epoxy into the tongue

 

1509

00:43:36,847 --> 00:43:38,082

groove of bowling alley

 

1510

00:43:38,082 --> 00:43:40,551

to solidify everything, you know,

 

1511

00:43:40,551 --> 00:43:42,820

and you'd pump the epoxy in

 

1512

00:43:42,820 --> 00:43:44,221

until you see the epoxy.

 

1513

00:43:44,221 --> 00:43:46,123

Can that ooze in through the top.

 

1514

00:43:46,123 --> 00:43:46,957

Okay.

 

1515

00:43:46,957 --> 00:43:48,058

It's a miserable,

 

1516

00:43:48,058 --> 00:43:51,795

sucky job you drilling thousands of holes

 

1517

00:43:52,429 --> 00:43:55,332

every board, every eight inches.

 

1518

00:43:55,332 --> 00:43:56,266

Right?

 

1519

00:43:56,266 --> 00:43:56,867

Wait a minute.

 

1520

00:43:56,867 --> 00:43:57,635

Oh, you got to explain

 

1521

00:43:57,635 --> 00:43:58,335

that to me because,

 

1522

00:44:00,404 --> 00:44:01,405

are you saying

 

1523

00:44:01,405 --> 00:44:03,540

the floor already is installed

 

1524

00:44:03,540 --> 00:44:04,808

and you're drilling into the tongue

 

1525

00:44:04,808 --> 00:44:06,610

and groove? Yes.

 

1526

00:44:06,610 --> 00:44:08,746

Like down like a quarter inch or so,

 

1527

00:44:08,746 --> 00:44:09,313

and then your pump.

 

1528

00:44:09,313 --> 00:44:09,847

Oh, no, no,

 

1529

00:44:09,847 --> 00:44:11,715

no, no bowling alley is like,

 

1530

00:44:11,715 --> 00:44:13,717

three inches thick

 

1531

00:44:13,717 --> 00:44:14,785

and the tongue is you're

 

1532

00:44:14,785 --> 00:44:16,687

drilling the tongue and groove is down

 

1533

00:44:16,687 --> 00:44:18,222

about an inch away from the top.

 

1534

00:44:18,222 --> 00:44:19,189

Oh, I got you.

 

1535

00:44:19,189 --> 00:44:22,059

Okay, so we're drilling on an angle

 

1536

00:44:22,059 --> 00:44:22,926

into the tongue

 

1537

00:44:22,926 --> 00:44:24,828

and groove of the bowling alley,

 

1538

00:44:24,828 --> 00:44:27,464

and then we pump epoxy in there

 

1539

00:44:27,464 --> 00:44:29,033

because with all the pounding

 

1540

00:44:29,033 --> 00:44:30,901

of the balls and the oil

 

1541

00:44:30,901 --> 00:44:32,469

and the cleaners and everything.

 

1542

00:44:32,469 --> 00:44:33,103

Yeah. Yeah.

 

1543

00:44:33,103 --> 00:44:33,570

Right.

 

1544

00:44:33,570 --> 00:44:35,873

The the lanes, the wood

 

1545

00:44:35,873 --> 00:44:37,975

turns into, like, piano keys.

 

1546

00:44:37,975 --> 00:44:38,676

We darn.

 

1547

00:44:38,676 --> 00:44:38,976

Yeah.

 

1548

00:44:38,976 --> 00:44:39,810

That's what the pounding

 

1549

00:44:39,810 --> 00:44:40,878

the balls will do.

 

1550

00:44:40,878 --> 00:44:43,480

Okay? It just mashes everything.

 

1551

00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:44,181

So then we go

 

1552

00:44:44,181 --> 00:44:45,849

in, we pump epoxy into each

 

1553

00:44:45,849 --> 00:44:47,317

board every eight inches,

 

1554

00:44:48,886 --> 00:44:50,354

and,

 

1555

00:44:50,354 --> 00:44:51,522

and just makes everything

 

1556

00:44:51,522 --> 00:44:53,390

a solid piece of rock.

 

1557

00:44:53,390 --> 00:44:54,224

Okay.

 

1558

00:44:54,224 --> 00:44:56,527

Wow. Yeah, I did no idea.

 

1559

00:44:56,527 --> 00:44:57,695

That crazy.

 

1560

00:44:57,695 --> 00:45:00,431

If you ever see a wood bowling lane.

 

1561

00:45:00,431 --> 00:45:01,565

You don't see it a lot of wood

 

1562

00:45:01,565 --> 00:45:02,199

bowling lanes.

 

1563

00:45:02,199 --> 00:45:03,500

But if anybody's ever out there

 

1564

00:45:03,500 --> 00:45:05,269

you see a wood bowling lane,

 

1565

00:45:05,269 --> 00:45:07,004

you'll look down and you'll see.

 

1566

00:45:07,004 --> 00:45:07,838

Because every lane's

 

1567

00:45:07,838 --> 00:45:10,140

been injected with epoxy

 

1568

00:45:10,140 --> 00:45:13,077

and started back in the 80s.

 

1569

00:45:13,077 --> 00:45:14,812

And it's the same color as lane.

 

1570

00:45:14,812 --> 00:45:15,579

But you'll see

 

1571

00:45:15,579 --> 00:45:17,147

you can see exactly where everything's

 

1572

00:45:17,147 --> 00:45:19,550

from and pump anyways,

 

1573

00:45:19,550 --> 00:45:21,385

it was crappy work.

 

1574

00:45:21,385 --> 00:45:22,519

It was night work.

 

1575

00:45:22,519 --> 00:45:24,088

It was always during the winter

 

1576

00:45:24,088 --> 00:45:25,589

when you know,

 

1577

00:45:25,589 --> 00:45:26,090

it was good

 

1578

00:45:26,090 --> 00:45:27,825

to have something to do in the winter,

 

1579

00:45:27,825 --> 00:45:30,294

but you know, it was night work

 

1580

00:45:30,294 --> 00:45:31,795

and you're pumping epoxy in,

 

1581

00:45:31,795 --> 00:45:33,297

it's spraying all over the place

 

1582

00:45:33,297 --> 00:45:36,433

and it just horrible, horrible stuff.

 

1583

00:45:37,334 --> 00:45:39,203

And it was there's a ton of ether in it.

 

1584

00:45:39,203 --> 00:45:40,437

We get back to the hotel

 

1585

00:45:40,437 --> 00:45:42,039

room in the morning and we'd be out.

 

1586

00:45:42,039 --> 00:45:44,842

You could have operated on anyways.

 

1587

00:45:44,842 --> 00:45:45,843

Now our ball is flying

 

1588

00:45:45,843 --> 00:45:46,443

all over the place.

 

1589

00:45:46,443 --> 00:45:48,011

Why are you doing this or is it gambling?

 

1590

00:45:48,011 --> 00:45:49,546

Yes, actually, yeah.

 

1591

00:45:49,546 --> 00:45:50,948

There's some balls still flying.

 

1592

00:45:50,948 --> 00:45:52,549

People are still bowling. Right?

 

1593

00:45:52,549 --> 00:45:53,650

When we're there,

 

1594

00:45:53,650 --> 00:45:55,319

we'll start at one end of the place.

 

1595

00:45:55,319 --> 00:45:55,786

Okay,

 

1596

00:45:57,154 --> 00:45:59,189

so

 

1597

00:45:59,189 --> 00:46:01,258

when we were doing this,

 

1598

00:46:01,258 --> 00:46:02,426

people would sometimes

 

1599

00:46:02,426 --> 00:46:04,762

come over right there, done bowling,

 

1600

00:46:04,762 --> 00:46:06,029

they'd seen something going

 

1601

00:46:06,029 --> 00:46:07,664

on, you know, a couple of guys working

 

1602

00:46:07,664 --> 00:46:09,133

and they come over and they'd watch

 

1603

00:46:09,133 --> 00:46:10,868

and they'd talk to you and you know,

 

1604

00:46:10,868 --> 00:46:12,436

what are you doing? Blah, blah, blah.

 

1605

00:46:12,436 --> 00:46:14,605

And then we're telling everybody

 

1606

00:46:14,605 --> 00:46:15,706

now, most of these people

 

1607

00:46:15,706 --> 00:46:16,740

have been bowling

 

1608

00:46:16,740 --> 00:46:18,108

and drinking all night long.

 

1609

00:46:18,108 --> 00:46:20,410

So lots of drunks.

 

1610

00:46:20,410 --> 00:46:22,479

Right. And, whatever.

 

1611

00:46:22,479 --> 00:46:24,615

You know, I'm a nice guy.

 

1612

00:46:24,615 --> 00:46:27,518

I'll talk to you.

 

1613

00:46:27,518 --> 00:46:28,952

But you would pump the epoxy

 

1614

00:46:28,952 --> 00:46:30,721

until you saw

 

1615

00:46:30,721 --> 00:46:33,724

it come up through the top, right.

 

1616

00:46:34,391 --> 00:46:35,859

So there's these two drunk guys

 

1617

00:46:35,859 --> 00:46:36,426

watching us

 

1618

00:46:36,426 --> 00:46:38,061

and they're not really saying anything.

 

1619

00:46:38,061 --> 00:46:40,764

I don't know who this guy is.

 

1620

00:46:40,764 --> 00:46:43,567

And he goes hey you should put another,

 

1621

00:46:43,567 --> 00:46:46,103

1622

00:46:46,103 --> 00:46:48,739

I just look at the guy go yeah yeah okay.

 

1623

00:46:48,739 --> 00:46:51,441

I'm in my very early 20s

 

1624

00:46:52,476 --> 00:46:53,710

right.

 

1625

00:46:53,710 --> 00:46:56,713

And and then the guy says it again

 

1626

00:46:57,047 --> 00:46:58,782

and

 

1627

00:46:58,782 --> 00:47:00,317

1628

00:47:00,317 --> 00:47:02,119

I told you put another

 

1629

00:47:02,119 --> 00:47:03,987

1630

00:47:03,987 --> 00:47:05,589

I was like, yeah, right. Whatever.

 

1631

00:47:05,589 --> 00:47:07,858

And I said, whatever, buddy.

 

1632

You know. Yeah.

 

1633

00:47:09,359 --> 00:47:11,528

And I keep pumping along

 

1634

00:47:11,528 --> 00:47:14,498

and he says something again now

 

1635

00:47:14,498 --> 00:47:17,167

I redline right.

 

1636

00:47:17,167 --> 00:47:18,769

It's like 1:00 in the morning.

 

1646

00:47:38,355 --> 00:47:41,358

Yes, because it was a huge job, right.

 

1649

00:47:50,601 --> 00:47:51,735

Oh my God.

 

1650

00:47:51,735 --> 00:47:54,638

1653

00:47:59,776 --> 00:48:02,512

So here's how good the old man was.

 

1654

00:48:04,681 --> 00:48:05,716

1655

00:48:05,716 --> 00:48:06,083

He goes, don't worry about it.

 

1661

00:48:16,059 --> 00:48:18,128

He goes, don't go anywhere.

 

1662

00:48:18,128 --> 00:48:19,363

Apologize to me for not alerting to me

 

1676

00:48:48,592 --> 00:48:49,459

1677

00:48:49,459 --> 00:48:51,929

That's how good my dad was. Wow.

00:49:02,439 --> 00:49:03,941

That's a good word, man.

 

1686

00:49:05,042 --> 00:49:06,143

The old man was slick.
