Adhesives Sure, about that one.
8
00:00:24,791 --> 00:00:25,225
Well,
9
00:00:25,225 --> 00:00:25,625
that's funny
10
00:00:25,625 --> 00:00:27,260
you said that when
11
00:00:27,260 --> 00:00:29,162

12
00:00:29,162 --> 00:00:31,431
I'm Rob Johnson from Bona Training
13
00:00:33,099 --> 00:00:34,501
You know, we're really
14
00:00:34,501 --> 00:00:35,735
we say we're going on vacation,
15
00:00:35,735 --> 00:00:36,903
but I think
16
00:00:36,903 --> 00:00:39,005
only you're really going on vacation.
17
00:00:39,005 --> 00:00:42,175
And I think I'm still working.
18
00:00:42,175 --> 00:00:44,477
So I haven't planned a.
19
00:00:44,477 --> 00:00:45,645
Vacation yet. But.
20
00:00:45,645 --> 00:00:46,513
Okay, well,

00:00:46,513 --> 00:00:47,614
we say we're going on vacation.
22
00:00:47,614 --> 00:00:48,481
That sounds normal.
23
00:00:48,481 --> 00:00:50,083
Normal people do that, right?
24
00:00:50,083 --> 00:00:51,885
Yeah, some of them.
25
00:00:51,885 --> 00:00:52,619
All right.

00:00:52,986 --> 00:00:54,087

On the Floor with Wayne and Rob.
31
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:01,928
I'm Wayne Highlander,
32
00:01:01,928 --> 00:01:02,996
national sales manager
33
00:01:02,996 --> 00:01:03,797

38
00:01:14,340 --> 00:01:15,241
Yes, yes.
39
00:01:15,241 --> 00:01:17,277
Ask me what I did this morning
40
00:01:17,277 --> 00:01:19,345
or one of the things I did this morning.
41
00:01:19,345 --> 00:01:20,513
What did you do this morning, Rob?
42
00:01:20,513 --> 00:01:21,281
I booked
43
00:01:21,281 --> 00:01:23,750
a flight for a freakin school baby.
44
00:01:26,052 --> 00:01:27,420
I don't even know how to book flights
45
00:01:27,420 --> 00:01:28,755
anymore, man.
46
00:01:29,322 --> 00:01:31,324
I got an Uber a lot.
47
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:33,626
I bet
48
00:01:33,626 --> 00:01:34,227
I won't have to
49
00:01:34,227 --> 00:01:36,796
learn how to use my Uber app.
50
00:01:36,996 --> 00:01:38,598
Oh, my God.
51
00:01:38,598 --> 00:01:41,434
Which I'm headed over anyhow.
52
00:01:41,434 --> 00:01:43,970
What Uber do to you?
53
00:01:43,970 --> 00:01:44,370
Well.
54
00:01:44,838 --> 00:01:47,907
Now, before you go into this,
55
00:01:47,907 --> 00:01:51,044
remember what you said a few weeks ago.
56
00:01:51,911 --> 00:01:53,913
What did I say to yourself?
57
00:01:53,913 --> 00:01:56,282
You kind of sound like an asshole.
58
00:01:58,151 --> 00:01:58,785
I think I said.
59
00:01:58,785 --> 00:01:59,853
I said I sounded angry.
60
00:01:59,853 --> 00:02:00,620
I don't think I said
61
00:02:00,620 --> 00:02:02,222
I sound like an asshole.
62
00:02:02,222 --> 00:02:05,191
No, it was off, you know, off camera.
63
00:02:05,225 --> 00:02:06,159
You said that? Yeah.
64
00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:07,227
Okay. Well, yeah, then.
65
00:02:07,227 --> 00:02:08,461
Certainly, I must have.
66
00:02:08,461 --> 00:02:10,230
So, yeah. So, you know,
67
00:02:11,698 --> 00:02:12,132
we don't want
68
00:02:12,132 --> 00:02:12,999
people to figure
69
00:02:12,999 --> 00:02:13,967
we want everybody
70
00:02:13,967 --> 00:02:15,168
love you, just like we do.
71
00:02:15,168 --> 00:02:15,802
So go ahead.
72
00:02:15,802 --> 00:02:17,704
Whatever duty it.
73
00:02:19,205 --> 00:02:19,973
Now.
74
00:02:19,973 --> 00:02:23,543
Now you have an opportunity to tip them.
75
00:02:23,843 --> 00:02:25,478
And before you didn't.
76
00:02:25,478 --> 00:02:26,179
You didn't have to.
77
00:02:26,179 --> 00:02:27,413
Was rolled back into the V.
78
00:02:27,413 --> 00:02:28,615
I don't mind paying a tip.
79
00:02:28,615 --> 00:02:29,616
I just don't. I just.
80
00:02:29,616 --> 00:02:31,084
I just give me what the thing is.
81
00:02:31,084 --> 00:02:31,885
I don't want to pay you
82
00:02:31,885 --> 00:02:32,919
because I overpaid people,
83
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:33,853
you know, over,
84
00:02:33,853 --> 00:02:36,222
you know, that they judge you too.
85
00:02:36,222 --> 00:02:38,224
Like you get an override,
86
00:02:38,224 --> 00:02:39,159
you get, like a rating.
87
00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:40,760
You know how you rate drivers?
88
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,129
I didn't know that they rated us.
89
00:02:43,129 --> 00:02:44,030
Yes.
90
00:02:44,731 --> 00:02:46,499
And I looked at my rating.
91
00:02:46,499 --> 00:02:48,301
My rating should be off the charts
92
00:02:48,301 --> 00:02:49,602
because I do tip well.
93
00:02:49,602 --> 00:02:50,470
I mean, I do.
94
00:02:50,470 --> 00:02:52,338
But I looked at my rating.
95
00:02:52,338 --> 00:02:53,940
It was less than perfect.
96
00:02:53,940 --> 00:02:56,142
And I kept going back in my mind.
97
00:02:56,976 --> 00:02:57,977
How could somebody
98
00:02:57,977 --> 00:02:59,179
not give me a perfect rating?
99
00:02:59,179 --> 00:03:00,113
I'm so charming
100
00:03:00,113 --> 00:03:01,781
and I'm always making great conversation
101
00:03:01,781 --> 00:03:02,715
with people and everything
102
00:03:02,715 --> 00:03:03,550
on the Uber ride.
103
00:03:03,550 --> 00:03:05,618
And then I figured it out.
104
00:03:05,618 --> 00:03:06,386
I think maybe it's the
105
00:03:06,386 --> 00:03:07,287
people that are with me,
106
00:03:08,288 --> 00:03:09,088
you know what I mean?
107
00:03:09,088 --> 00:03:11,591
When I bring. It, it's him.
108
00:03:11,591 --> 00:03:12,992
It's them.
109
00:03:12,992 --> 00:03:15,128
Yeah, right.
110
00:03:15,128 --> 00:03:16,129
No, that's right.
111
00:03:16,129 --> 00:03:17,897
I can. I can see that.
112
00:03:17,897 --> 00:03:18,932
Well, congratulations
113
00:03:18,932 --> 00:03:19,966
on booking your flight, man.
114
00:03:19,966 --> 00:03:21,067
I know that's
115
00:03:21,067 --> 00:03:22,001
something you've been talking about
116
00:03:22,001 --> 00:03:23,903
for a long time, and so great.
117
00:03:23,903 --> 00:03:24,537
Yep.
118
00:03:24,537 --> 00:03:26,406
We're our first Mike's
119
00:03:26,406 --> 00:03:27,073
first goal,
120
00:03:27,073 --> 00:03:28,541
but I think De is doing one
121
00:03:28,541 --> 00:03:32,312
next week in Texas, and I'm doing one
122
00:03:32,312 --> 00:03:35,315
in two weeks down in Marietta.
123
00:03:35,982 --> 00:03:38,051
So nice we are.
124
00:03:38,051 --> 00:03:38,851
Yeah, we are.
125
00:03:38,851 --> 00:03:40,253
Back on track, baby.
126
00:03:40,253 --> 00:03:43,556
And then April, April, May and June,
127
00:03:43,556 --> 00:03:45,158
we are just slammin.
128
00:03:45,158 --> 00:03:46,326
So, wait.
129
00:03:46,326 --> 00:03:48,661
When are you coming to Nashville?
130
00:03:49,229 --> 00:03:51,664
I, I think Nashville is June.
131
00:03:52,532 --> 00:03:54,901
Okay, I got to get.
132
00:03:54,901 --> 00:03:56,769
I got to get down there
133
00:03:57,370 --> 00:03:58,671
or you just close. I can't.
134
00:03:58,671 --> 00:04:01,107
I can't that you can't get by without me
135
00:04:01,107 --> 00:04:03,309
going overseas in Haiti anyhow. Yeah.
136
00:04:04,410 --> 00:04:04,944
I didn't know
137
00:04:04,944 --> 00:04:06,512
why you come to the Nashville schools
138
00:04:06,512 --> 00:04:07,614
when I'm there.
139
00:04:07,981 --> 00:04:09,849
That chicken place down the road?
140
00:04:09,849 --> 00:04:10,350
No.
141
00:04:10,350 --> 00:04:11,284
You just like to steal
142
00:04:11,284 --> 00:04:12,318
a little of my thunder.
143
00:04:12,318 --> 00:04:13,353
You know, God forbid
144
00:04:13,353 --> 00:04:15,521
I get a little audience of my own.
145
00:04:15,521 --> 00:04:17,690
Yeah. No, no.
146
00:04:17,690 --> 00:04:18,157
You know, it's.
147
00:04:18,157 --> 00:04:20,193
Like we're in. Wayne.
148
00:04:20,193 --> 00:04:22,729
I see the look in their eyes.
149
00:04:22,729 --> 00:04:24,097
I remember one student
150
00:04:24,097 --> 00:04:25,632
a couple of years ago, he goes, Is,
151
00:04:25,632 --> 00:04:26,866
is Wayne coming?
152
00:04:26,866 --> 00:04:29,168
And I said, Listen,
153
00:04:30,370 --> 00:04:31,971
Wayne is now a corporate stooge.
154
00:04:31,971 --> 00:04:34,974
He does not care about you anymore.
155
00:04:35,008 --> 00:04:35,875
Okay.
156
00:04:36,009 --> 00:04:38,144
I'm your daddy now.
157
00:04:38,144 --> 00:04:39,312
I'm your. Dad.
158
00:04:40,780 --> 00:04:42,515
You know, I.
159
00:04:42,949 --> 00:04:44,417
I usually wait til about an hour
160
00:04:44,417 --> 00:04:45,852
and a half into your in your class,
161
00:04:45,852 --> 00:04:46,653
so I show up that way,
162
00:04:46,653 --> 00:04:47,887
make you feel like the opening act,
163
00:04:49,188 --> 00:04:51,424
you know?
164
00:04:51,758 --> 00:04:53,092
Now, I'm happy for you, Rob.
165
00:04:53,092 --> 00:04:53,493
I know.
166
00:04:53,493 --> 00:04:55,428
I said Leonard Skinner, too.
167
00:04:55,428 --> 00:04:57,597
Your Rolling Stones, huh?
168
00:04:57,597 --> 00:04:58,731
Yeah.
169
00:04:59,098 --> 00:05:00,300
I'll go with that.
170
00:05:00,366 --> 00:05:03,636
And, you know, we are a team
171
00:05:03,636 --> 00:05:05,171

And certainly

Eileen is a big part of the podcast.
179
00:05:18,051 --> 00:05:20,219
She helps us out tremendously
180
00:05:20,219 --> 00:05:21,954

00:05:21,954 --> 00:05:22,789

186
00:05:28,161 --> 00:05:28,728
And I don't care

00:05:28,728 --> 00:05:31,030
how many people come to me, man, and go,
188
00:05:31,064 --> 00:05:32,131
You know what you need to lose?
189
00:05:32,131 --> 00:05:33,232
Rob I won't do it.
190
00:05:33,232 --> 00:05:34,400
Rob I just,
191
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:35,535
you know, the hundreds of fan
192
00:05:35,535 --> 00:05:36,269
mail that I get,
193
00:05:36,269 --> 00:05:36,602
they say
194
00:05:36,602 --> 00:05:37,670
you should have your own podcast.
195
00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:38,571
I'm just not going to do it.
196
00:05:39,672 --> 00:05:40,740
But it will.
197
00:05:40,740 --> 00:05:42,241
Many of the listeners knew.
198
00:05:42,241 --> 00:05:43,710
That was coming.
199
00:05:43,710 --> 00:05:47,714
Yeah.
200
00:05:47,714 --> 00:05:49,115
Yeah. You know.
201
00:05:49,115 --> 00:05:51,117
A lot of them knew that was
202
00:05:51,117 --> 00:05:52,652
that's coming.
203
00:05:52,652 --> 00:05:53,553
We're a team.
204
00:05:53,553 --> 00:05:54,954
So I always have your back.
205
00:05:54,954 --> 00:05:56,389
And I know you always had my back
206
00:05:56,389 --> 00:05:57,990
and you know, what have you.
207
00:05:57,990 --> 00:06:00,426
But if anybody listen listen to our Pop
208
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,430
Potpourri podcast,
209
00:06:04,530 --> 00:06:06,766
maybe it's a couple of weeks ago now
210
00:06:06,766 --> 00:06:08,401
and they tuned in to that
211
00:06:08,401 --> 00:06:10,236
and they heard the Larry
212
00:06:10,236 --> 00:06:14,073
Nichols interview.
213
00:06:14,073 --> 00:06:14,540
It's it's
214
00:06:14,540 --> 00:06:15,174
not like I mean,
215
00:06:15,174 --> 00:06:16,142
you know, one, once
216
00:06:16,142 --> 00:06:17,443
you're with Larry is enough.
217
00:06:17,443 --> 00:06:19,579
But we had that the week before.
218
00:06:19,579 --> 00:06:21,347
And then you tune in in the potpourri.
219
00:06:21,347 --> 00:06:23,649
And then you hear that, Larry, if you
220
00:06:23,850 --> 00:06:25,651
if you turned in or tuned in early
221
00:06:25,651 --> 00:06:25,985
in the morning,
222
00:06:25,985 --> 00:06:29,522
you would heard that podcast over you.
223
00:06:29,522 --> 00:06:29,789
You know,
224
00:06:29,789 --> 00:06:31,858
if we're going to double up on a podcast.
225
00:06:32,458 --> 00:06:34,093
Yeah, that's not to want to do it.
226
00:06:34,093 --> 00:06:36,195
Let's double up on the play by play
227
00:06:36,195 --> 00:06:38,264
or the or the marketing.
228
00:06:38,264 --> 00:06:38,464
Why?
229
00:06:38,464 --> 00:06:39,165
You know,
230
00:06:39,165 --> 00:06:41,234
but doubling up on the Larry one.
231
00:06:42,034 --> 00:06:44,036
Yeah, I love Larry like a brother.
232
00:06:44,036 --> 00:06:45,471
But once is enough.
233
00:06:46,606 --> 00:06:48,508
And I'm not going to throw.
234
00:06:48,541 --> 00:06:49,642
My Larry.
235
00:06:50,176 --> 00:06:50,943
Yeah.
236
00:06:51,110 --> 00:06:51,978
I'm not going to throw
237
00:06:51,978 --> 00:06:53,112
Eileen under the bus for this.
238
00:06:53,112 --> 00:06:54,781
I'm not going to do it.
239
00:06:54,781 --> 00:06:55,748
I'm not going to say that
240
00:06:55,748 --> 00:06:57,316
she made a mistake and
241
00:06:57,316 --> 00:06:58,985
and didn't record the podcast
242
00:06:58,985 --> 00:07:01,621
under the right one.
243
00:07:01,621 --> 00:07:02,889
It doesn't matter
244
00:07:02,889 --> 00:07:03,756
because we're a team here.
245
00:07:03,756 --> 00:07:06,592
We got each other's back no matter what.
246
00:07:06,592 --> 00:07:07,093
So.
247
00:07:07,093 --> 00:07:09,595
So you're blaming all of us for that?
248
00:07:09,595 --> 00:07:11,063
No, I'm just not going to blame
249
00:07:11,063 --> 00:07:12,632
Miley on it.
250
00:07:12,632 --> 00:07:13,833
You just take.
251
00:07:17,370 --> 00:07:17,703
This.
252
00:07:17,703 --> 00:07:20,239
I will defend herself a little bit.
253
00:07:20,573 --> 00:07:21,307
Or now
254
00:07:21,307 --> 00:07:23,342
we have a new way to send messages.
255
00:07:23,342 --> 00:07:25,745
I can't wait to message this. Send you.
256
00:07:25,745 --> 00:07:26,946
She sends you.
257
00:07:26,946 --> 00:07:28,748
Oh, it's it's fixed now.
258
00:07:28,748 --> 00:07:29,782
She said, oh, yeah.
259
00:07:29,782 --> 00:07:31,851
If you ever if you listen to that podcast
260
00:07:32,285 --> 00:07:33,286
and you turned it on
261
00:07:33,286 --> 00:07:34,353
when what the hell this was
262
00:07:34,353 --> 00:07:35,521
a podcast last time.
263
00:07:36,489 --> 00:07:37,757
She fixed it later in the day.
264
00:07:37,757 --> 00:07:40,760
But in the early morning it was, it was,
265
00:07:41,661 --> 00:07:42,962
it was a wrong podcast.
266
00:07:42,962 --> 00:07:44,430
Yep. You didn't hear that one.
267
00:07:44,430 --> 00:07:46,666
The problem that is up and running now.
268
00:07:46,666 --> 00:07:50,169
So my our apologies on behalf of Eileen.
269
00:07:51,571 --> 00:07:51,871
All right.
270
00:07:51,871 --> 00:07:54,707
Well, thank you, Brian.
271
00:07:54,774 --> 00:07:55,308
In a hard time,
272
00:07:55,308 --> 00:07:57,810
she's always so good at everything, and
273
00:07:57,810 --> 00:07:59,879
she'll take it in good stride.
274
00:08:00,112 --> 00:08:02,248
Um, Rob,
275
00:08:02,448 --> 00:08:03,683
what are we gonna talk about today?
276
00:08:03,683 --> 00:08:04,851
All right, Rob.
277
00:08:04,851 --> 00:08:07,119
So there's a meme going around or a thing
278
00:08:07,119 --> 00:08:10,423
going around is, you know, tell me.
279
00:08:10,423 --> 00:08:11,791
Tell me you're a Dodgers fan
280
00:08:11,791 --> 00:08:12,391
without telling me
281
00:08:12,391 --> 00:08:13,793
your Dodgers fan or what have you.
282
00:08:13,793 --> 00:08:14,126
Tell me
283
00:08:14,126 --> 00:08:14,560
you love that
284
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:15,595
you love
285
00:08:15,828 --> 00:08:18,030
cake without telling me you love cake.
286
00:08:18,030 --> 00:08:18,931
So
287
00:08:19,799 --> 00:08:22,034
you were talking about doing one.
288
00:08:22,034 --> 00:08:23,102
Tell me your floor, man,
289
00:08:23,102 --> 00:08:24,704
without telling me your floor man. Right.
290
00:08:24,704 --> 00:08:25,638
We might as well get on the
291
00:08:25,638 --> 00:08:27,340
I mean, a couple of young hip, hip
292
00:08:27,340 --> 00:08:29,108
guys like us and get on the
293
00:08:29,108 --> 00:08:30,343
latest urban craze.
294
00:08:31,410 --> 00:08:32,778
Absolutely.
295
00:08:32,778 --> 00:08:33,179
All right.
296
00:08:33,179 --> 00:08:35,515
My play, it's funny that meme is
297
00:08:36,949 --> 00:08:38,818
coming out there
298
00:08:38,818 --> 00:08:40,553
because
299
00:08:41,187 --> 00:08:43,256
at the opening of every school,
300
00:08:44,690 --> 00:08:45,024
it
301
00:08:45,992 --> 00:08:48,361
that's what I'm talking about.
302
00:08:48,361 --> 00:08:50,096
And I always make the crack.
303
00:08:50,096 --> 00:08:52,365
Like, you can always tell a floor guy.
304
00:08:52,532 --> 00:08:55,268
Always you can always tell a floor guy.
305
00:08:55,268 --> 00:08:57,570
He's walking around with his head down
306
00:08:57,570 --> 00:08:59,839
and he sees everything.
307
00:09:01,173 --> 00:09:01,741
Right?
308
00:09:01,741 --> 00:09:04,410
Yeah. He's at all.
309
00:09:04,710 --> 00:09:08,581
Eights, joints, stairs, steps, halos.
310
00:09:08,581 --> 00:09:09,382
Right.
311
00:09:09,482 --> 00:09:10,683
He doesn't miss a beat.
312
00:09:10,683 --> 00:09:11,350
Nothing.
313
00:09:11,350 --> 00:09:14,487
The I remember I was in Boston one time.
314
00:09:14,487 --> 00:09:16,422
You ever see a bird dog point
315
00:09:16,422 --> 00:09:17,223
when it gets on?
316
00:09:17,223 --> 00:09:18,124
When it gets on his hands,
317
00:09:18,124 --> 00:09:19,592
it gets on birds.
318
00:09:19,592 --> 00:09:20,860
I was in Boston
319
00:09:20,860 --> 00:09:22,028
and I was with my cousin
320
00:09:22,028 --> 00:09:23,029
and we were on vacation
321
00:09:23,029 --> 00:09:23,963
and we're some
322
00:09:23,963 --> 00:09:26,065
some historic part of town.
323
00:09:26,065 --> 00:09:28,434
And just all sudden, I hear an edge.
324
00:09:28,434 --> 00:09:31,137
You're like the next block away.
325
00:09:31,404 --> 00:09:32,338
And that high pitched
326
00:09:32,338 --> 00:09:33,472
wind of that edge, you're mad.
327
00:09:33,472 --> 00:09:34,140
And I said, there's
328
00:09:34,140 --> 00:09:36,342
somebody is edging for right now
329
00:09:36,342 --> 00:09:37,810
and he's not in the floor business.
330
00:09:37,810 --> 00:09:38,277
You don't know.
331
00:09:38,277 --> 00:09:40,179
You know what, we're on vacation.
332
00:09:40,179 --> 00:09:41,514
And I said, I got to go, man.
333
00:09:41,514 --> 00:09:43,349
I got I got to follow this sound.
334
00:09:43,349 --> 00:09:45,151
So he followed the sound
335
00:09:45,151 --> 00:09:45,518
all the way up
336
00:09:45,518 --> 00:09:46,953
to the second floor of an apartment here.
337
00:09:46,953 --> 00:09:47,420
It's here now.
338
00:09:47,420 --> 00:09:48,521
There's a couple of guys in there, floor
339
00:09:48,521 --> 00:09:49,221
guys doing the floor.
340
00:09:49,221 --> 00:09:51,157
And I was shooting the breeze with him.
341
00:09:51,157 --> 00:09:53,092
But yeah, I mean, that's a.
342
00:09:54,427 --> 00:09:56,062
I can't believe it.
343
00:09:56,829 --> 00:09:57,930
Because
344
00:09:57,930 --> 00:10:00,433
we were in a sport meeting in Boston and
345
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:01,867
me and Billy
346
00:10:01,867 --> 00:10:02,902
and a couple of the other guys,
347
00:10:02,902 --> 00:10:05,371
all we parked downtown in a parking or,
348
00:10:05,471 --> 00:10:05,671
you know,
349
00:10:05,671 --> 00:10:08,441
parking lot, you know, pay parking lot
350
00:10:08,441 --> 00:10:09,442
and we get out.
351
00:10:09,442 --> 00:10:12,311
And I swear to you, about a block away,
352
00:10:12,745 --> 00:10:14,280
about eight stories up.
353
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:15,948
Now, this is the middle of the summer,
354
00:10:15,948 --> 00:10:18,584
about eight stories up.
355
00:10:18,751 --> 00:10:19,852
Billy and I get out of the car
356
00:10:19,852 --> 00:10:20,753
and just looked at each other
357
00:10:20,753 --> 00:10:21,721
and started laughing.
358
00:10:21,721 --> 00:10:23,222
I mean, it's probably
359
00:10:23,222 --> 00:10:25,625
nine, eight, 9:00 at night
360
00:10:26,926 --> 00:10:28,961
and the windows are open
361
00:10:29,261 --> 00:10:30,329
and you get there's
362
00:10:30,329 --> 00:10:31,864
nothing like the sound of an edger.
363
00:10:31,864 --> 00:10:34,467
And, yeah, we're about a block away.
364
00:10:35,267 --> 00:10:37,503
Yeah, yeah.
365
00:10:37,637 --> 00:10:38,804
Have to do this, you know, we're.
366
00:10:38,804 --> 00:10:40,106
About a block away. Do.
367
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:41,974
Yeah.
368
00:10:42,408 --> 00:10:43,609
You ever, ever do this, though?
369
00:10:43,609 --> 00:10:44,210
This happened to me.
370
00:10:44,210 --> 00:10:45,378
It was very disappointing, man.
371
00:10:45,378 --> 00:10:46,245
I was visiting my
372
00:10:46,245 --> 00:10:49,448
my my sister was in Indianapolis and
373
00:10:50,583 --> 00:10:51,751
she had a house there,
374
00:10:51,751 --> 00:10:53,219
but she was looking to buy another house.
375
00:10:53,219 --> 00:10:54,420
And we were just happened to be there
376
00:10:54,420 --> 00:10:55,454
with her for a few days.
377
00:10:55,454 --> 00:10:57,223
And she went up to this housing area
378
00:10:57,223 --> 00:10:59,525
with her new home, new development.
379
00:10:59,525 --> 00:11:01,327
And I saw a floor van outside
380
00:11:01,327 --> 00:11:02,161
and there were a couple of guys
381
00:11:02,161 --> 00:11:02,962
laying a floor in there.
382
00:11:02,962 --> 00:11:04,330
Another arm, man. Cool.
383
00:11:04,330 --> 00:11:06,198
I mean, I go in there and, you know,
384
00:11:06,198 --> 00:11:06,666
at the time
385
00:11:06,666 --> 00:11:07,433
I was a contractor,
386
00:11:07,433 --> 00:11:08,801
go in and talk to the guys, man,
387
00:11:08,801 --> 00:11:09,068
you know,
388
00:11:09,068 --> 00:11:10,369
see how they do in Indianapolis.
389
00:11:10,369 --> 00:11:11,237
And, you know,
390
00:11:11,237 --> 00:11:12,538
I went in there and I go, Hey, man,
391
00:11:12,538 --> 00:11:13,572
you guys do a horizontal.
392
00:11:13,572 --> 00:11:14,807
Yeah, I go, Yeah, I'm a four.
393
00:11:14,807 --> 00:11:16,208
Man, two in California. They go.
394
00:11:17,877 --> 00:11:18,444
There.
395
00:11:18,678 --> 00:11:19,912
And I
396
00:11:19,912 --> 00:11:20,780
start asking,
397
00:11:20,780 --> 00:11:22,181
you know, how you do things or whatever.
398
00:11:22,181 --> 00:11:24,183
And it was like nothing, nothing.
399
00:11:24,216 --> 00:11:25,851
They could care less.
400
00:11:25,985 --> 00:11:27,653
And, well, shoot, they don't want to.
401
00:11:27,653 --> 00:11:28,621
I was excited, man.
402
00:11:28,621 --> 00:11:29,221
I was, you know,
403
00:11:29,221 --> 00:11:30,356
what do you guys do different?
404
00:11:30,356 --> 00:11:31,323
You know, all these different things
405
00:11:31,323 --> 00:11:32,725
that you might do different than we do,
406
00:11:32,725 --> 00:11:35,428
and we're a little part of it now.
407
00:11:35,861 --> 00:11:37,029
What kind of woman is that?
408
00:11:37,029 --> 00:11:37,797
What kind of for a man
409
00:11:37,797 --> 00:11:39,098
would be like that?
410
00:11:39,098 --> 00:11:39,465
I don't know.
411
00:11:39,465 --> 00:11:41,167
For guys like that, they got no passion.
412
00:11:41,167 --> 00:11:43,335
You?
413
00:11:43,869 --> 00:11:46,205
Well, I'm from the Northeast.
414
00:11:46,472 --> 00:11:47,373
Okay.
415
00:11:47,373 --> 00:11:49,075
There might be a couple
416
00:11:50,409 --> 00:11:50,910
right there.
417
00:11:50,910 --> 00:11:51,744
All right.
418
00:11:52,578 --> 00:11:54,580
Well, tell me your floor, man, then.
419
00:11:54,580 --> 00:11:59,585
Without telling me your floor, man.
420
00:11:59,585 --> 00:12:03,089
All right.
421
00:12:03,089 --> 00:12:05,891
I guess I'll never understa.
422
00:12:05,891 --> 00:12:07,560
Tell you you're a floor guy without on
423
00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:08,894
your floor guy. Okay.
424
00:12:10,596 --> 00:12:12,631
When a homeowner walks into a room,
425
00:12:13,799 --> 00:12:14,467
is choking
426
00:12:14,467 --> 00:12:15,901
and gagging, is rubbing his eyes,
427
00:12:15,901 --> 00:12:17,203
and you have no idea
428
00:12:17,203 --> 00:12:18,237
what's the matter with him
429
00:12:18,237 --> 00:12:19,905
as you're pulling
430
00:12:20,272 --> 00:12:24,543
a couple of gallons of polyurethane.
431
00:12:24,543 --> 00:12:25,845
Everything all right?
432
00:12:25,845 --> 00:12:26,178
It was
433
00:12:26,178 --> 00:12:26,545
I don't
434
00:12:26,545 --> 00:12:27,546
I didn't know you were going to say that.
435
00:12:27,546 --> 00:12:30,182
So I have to tell you the story, though.
436
00:12:30,182 --> 00:12:30,883
I bought a brand
437
00:12:30,883 --> 00:12:31,617
new Ranger bass
438
00:12:31,617 --> 00:12:34,687
boat in late 1996 or something like that.
439
00:12:34,754 --> 00:12:36,722
I mean, you know, ranger bass boats.
440
00:12:36,722 --> 00:12:38,791
Like. That's a Cadillac, man.
441
00:12:38,791 --> 00:12:39,692
That's the one.
442
00:12:39,692 --> 00:12:41,127
That's the moose.
443
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:41,594
Yeah.
444
00:12:41,594 --> 00:12:43,596
And we had a 175 Yamaha at the time.
445
00:12:43,596 --> 00:12:44,964
They didn't have like the two fifties
446
00:12:44,964 --> 00:12:46,298
and three hunters that they have now,
447
00:12:46,298 --> 00:12:47,466
but that was a big motor.
448
00:12:47,466 --> 00:12:48,300
Maybe they had to order.
449
00:12:48,300 --> 00:12:50,402
Boston whale or of bass boats.
450
00:12:50,870 --> 00:12:52,404
Yeah, it was a Cadillac.
451
00:12:53,372 --> 00:12:54,073
But,
452
00:12:55,374 --> 00:12:55,775
you know, you
453
00:12:55,775 --> 00:12:56,976
sometimes you got to compromise.
454
00:12:56,976 --> 00:12:58,077
Didn't have a truck to pull with.
455
00:12:58,077 --> 00:12:59,779
I put all my work van. Right.
456
00:12:59,779 --> 00:13:00,446
With all my tools
457
00:13:00,446 --> 00:13:01,614
and everything like that.
458
00:13:01,614 --> 00:13:02,548
So I took my buddy
459
00:13:02,548 --> 00:13:03,482
and his father, Lance
460
00:13:03,482 --> 00:13:03,816
Bass,
461
00:13:03,816 --> 00:13:06,719
fishing up to Clearlake, California.
462
00:13:06,852 --> 00:13:08,320
You don't remember the old wood filler
463
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:08,854
they probably didn't
464
00:13:08,854 --> 00:13:10,055
have in your part of the world,
465
00:13:10,055 --> 00:13:10,623
Gabon,
466
00:13:10,623 --> 00:13:12,491
which smelled its lack of bass product.
467
00:13:12,491 --> 00:13:13,159
Right.
468
00:13:13,526 --> 00:13:14,126
So, you know,
469
00:13:14,126 --> 00:13:14,760
I had probably three
470
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:15,928
or four cans, some open
471
00:13:15,928 --> 00:13:17,296
some that open once billed over
472
00:13:17,296 --> 00:13:19,431
probably in that bag aside is back there.
473
00:13:19,932 --> 00:13:20,633
And, you know, there's
474
00:13:20,633 --> 00:13:21,367
no chair in the back,
475
00:13:21,367 --> 00:13:22,501
but they do it in the back. Right.
476
00:13:22,501 --> 00:13:24,303
Because, you know, we don't know.
477
00:13:24,303 --> 00:13:26,338
You don't need a chair back there.
478
00:13:26,338 --> 00:13:28,240
And I pick them up
479
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:29,208
like 430 in the morning.
480
00:13:29,208 --> 00:13:29,708
We go in there
481
00:13:29,708 --> 00:13:31,844
and the first thing, I guess are you guys
482
00:13:31,844 --> 00:13:33,345
what the hell's that smell?
483
00:13:33,345 --> 00:13:34,180
I said, Oh,
484
00:13:34,180 --> 00:13:35,514
it's just like the international you
485
00:13:35,514 --> 00:13:36,615
no big deal.
486
00:13:36,615 --> 00:13:37,249
And he's back there
487
00:13:37,249 --> 00:13:37,449
and I
488
00:13:37,449 --> 00:13:38,050
literally see him
489
00:13:38,050 --> 00:13:39,518
like covering his face with
490
00:13:39,518 --> 00:13:40,953
a scarf and everything. And
491
00:13:41,954 --> 00:13:42,988
then we go around the corner.
492
00:13:42,988 --> 00:13:44,123
Then he goes, You guys,
493
00:13:44,123 --> 00:13:45,424
my room and windows down, man.
494
00:13:45,424 --> 00:13:46,225
I go, Yeah, sure.
495
00:13:46,225 --> 00:13:47,126
So roll the windows down.
496
00:13:47,126 --> 00:13:49,361
We go around the corner and dust bag like
497
00:13:49,361 --> 00:13:52,598
got him with the dust.
498
00:13:52,598 --> 00:13:53,866
I hope the dude never had a worse.
499
00:13:53,866 --> 00:13:55,000
It's a four hour drive
500
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,735
to clear lake from where we lived,
501
00:13:56,735 --> 00:13:58,170
and that poor guy has never smelled
502
00:13:58,170 --> 00:13:58,904
blacker in his life.
503
00:13:58,904 --> 00:13:59,972
And very distinguished
504
00:13:59,972 --> 00:14:00,873
gentleman type of guy.
505
00:14:00,873 --> 00:14:01,774
But hey,
506
00:14:02,141 --> 00:14:02,575
I guess
507
00:14:02,575 --> 00:14:04,543
sometimes you got to compromise, man.
508
00:14:04,543 --> 00:14:05,945
Well, you know the deal, right?
509
00:14:05,945 --> 00:14:08,013
You political or policy,
510
00:14:08,013 --> 00:14:09,515
you maybe you're into your third
511
00:14:09,515 --> 00:14:10,883
or fourth row
512
00:14:10,883 --> 00:14:12,084
homeowners sticks their head
513
00:14:12,084 --> 00:14:14,186
in, you know, just want to take it
514
00:14:14,220 --> 00:14:14,453
in.
515
00:14:14,453 --> 00:14:16,088
They are dragging and choking
516
00:14:16,088 --> 00:14:17,289
and rubbing their eyes.
517
00:14:17,289 --> 00:14:19,358
And for the life of me, I used
518
00:14:19,358 --> 00:14:20,826
to think, boy, this person's.
519
00:14:21,794 --> 00:14:22,561
Yeah.
520
00:14:22,728 --> 00:14:25,030
You know, a little kind of a snowflake.
521
00:14:25,130 --> 00:14:26,765
AGUERO Yeah.
522
00:14:26,765 --> 00:14:27,633
We don't it's
523
00:14:27,633 --> 00:14:28,801
scary that you don't
524
00:14:28,801 --> 00:14:30,903
smell it anymore, but
525
00:14:30,903 --> 00:14:34,006
I got a lack of story for you
526
00:14:34,406 --> 00:14:36,475
back in the bowling days.
527
00:14:36,475 --> 00:14:37,776
Lot of lacquer.
528
00:14:37,776 --> 00:14:39,812
We used tons and tons of, like,
529
00:14:39,812 --> 00:14:41,313
you know, you know the story.
530
00:14:41,313 --> 00:14:43,449
I might even told this story before, but
531
00:14:43,716 --> 00:14:45,551
what the hell you got a lacquer one.
532
00:14:45,551 --> 00:14:48,420
I'll I'll give you my like one where
533
00:14:49,188 --> 00:14:50,756
working up in New Hampshire
534
00:14:50,756 --> 00:14:52,291
we're driving back from
535
00:14:52,291 --> 00:14:54,460
we did a RICO two coats of lacquer
536
00:14:54,460 --> 00:14:57,529
on a RICO job and we're driving back
537
00:14:57,930 --> 00:14:59,131
probably, I don't know,
538
00:14:59,131 --> 00:15:01,467
nine, 10:00 at night
539
00:15:01,467 --> 00:15:04,203
and we get pulled over by
540
00:15:04,203 --> 00:15:06,705
a New Hampshire state trooper.
541
00:15:06,705 --> 00:15:09,909
Now it's me and my cousin and Pete
542
00:15:09,909 --> 00:15:12,011
and my cousin sitting on a liquor can in
543
00:15:12,011 --> 00:15:12,811
the middle of us
544
00:15:14,446 --> 00:15:15,714
with a bag on it.
545
00:15:15,714 --> 00:15:17,850
And me and Peter in the seats.
546
00:15:17,850 --> 00:15:19,785
So it was a little chilly
547
00:15:19,785 --> 00:15:21,587
that summer night.
548
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,088
So the state trooper walks up
549
00:15:23,088 --> 00:15:24,790
and for some reason we just thought
550
00:15:24,790 --> 00:15:25,691
it was hysterical
551
00:15:25,691 --> 00:15:27,126
that we were getting pulled over
552
00:15:27,126 --> 00:15:27,927
right and
553
00:15:29,361 --> 00:15:31,230
roll the window down.
554
00:15:31,230 --> 00:15:33,399
And the trooper is like, what?
555
00:15:33,599 --> 00:15:34,566
Oh, my God.
556
00:15:34,566 --> 00:15:36,635
You know, all I could think of is,
557
00:15:36,635 --> 00:15:38,370
you know, picture the movie
558
00:15:38,370 --> 00:15:40,105
The Ginger Children.
559
00:15:40,105 --> 00:15:40,906
Yes.
560
00:15:40,906 --> 00:15:42,574
They were all the way at all.
561
00:15:42,574 --> 00:15:42,841
Well,
562
00:15:42,841 --> 00:15:44,209
it was an invisible fume,
563
00:15:44,209 --> 00:15:45,978
a lacquer that just knocked this
564
00:15:45,978 --> 00:15:47,513
cop over. Right.
565
00:15:47,513 --> 00:15:48,314
Wow.
566
00:15:48,347 --> 00:15:51,317
And he's like, What the hell?
567
00:15:51,317 --> 00:15:55,321
Now, I asked him why we had pulled over.
568
00:15:55,321 --> 00:15:56,789
He goes, Because you're doing 40 miles
569
00:15:56,789 --> 00:15:57,723
an hour.
570
00:15:57,723 --> 00:15:59,758
It's a 65 mile an hour.
571
00:15:59,758 --> 00:16:00,893
He goes, There's something wrong
572
00:16:00,893 --> 00:16:02,695
with the truck. If
573
00:16:05,364 --> 00:16:07,800
we are stoned to the bejesus.
574
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:08,867
What had happened was
575
00:16:08,867 --> 00:16:10,736
and we realize it
576
00:16:10,736 --> 00:16:11,403
because after a while
577
00:16:11,403 --> 00:16:12,705
you don't smell it anymore, right?
578
00:16:12,705 --> 00:16:14,206
Yeah. Yeah.
579
00:16:14,506 --> 00:16:16,742
We used to puncture the five gallon pails
580
00:16:16,742 --> 00:16:17,242
with the hull.
581
00:16:17,242 --> 00:16:20,679
So a pour easy.
582
00:16:20,679 --> 00:16:21,413
Well, my cousin
583
00:16:21,413 --> 00:16:22,448
didn't cover the hole,
584
00:16:22,448 --> 00:16:24,483
so every time he'd hit a bump,
585
00:16:24,483 --> 00:16:25,651
it was like pumping that
586
00:16:25,651 --> 00:16:27,586
five gallon and it's just
587
00:16:27,586 --> 00:16:29,288
pumping lacquer fumes
588
00:16:29,288 --> 00:16:31,590
into the cab of the truck.
589
00:16:31,590 --> 00:16:34,226
But we don't smell it anymore.
590
00:16:34,226 --> 00:16:36,962
And we're, like, completely,
591
00:16:37,196 --> 00:16:39,932
completely stoned to the gills.
592
00:16:39,932 --> 00:16:40,366
Good thing
593
00:16:40,366 --> 00:16:42,468
was was back in the eighties when,
594
00:16:42,468 --> 00:16:43,302
you know,
595
00:16:43,836 --> 00:16:46,271
people were kind of cool, right?
596
00:16:46,271 --> 00:16:47,072
So the guy says,
597
00:16:47,072 --> 00:16:49,808
How much further you going?
598
00:16:49,808 --> 00:16:51,176
I forget how far we're going.
599
00:16:51,176 --> 00:16:52,544
He goes, okay,
600
00:16:52,644 --> 00:16:53,712
I'm going to turn the lights on.
601
00:16:53,712 --> 00:16:56,315
You just stay right on my ass, okay?
602
00:16:56,548 --> 00:16:58,317
He drove us to the hotel,
603
00:16:58,317 --> 00:17:00,019
knew where I was.
604
00:17:00,019 --> 00:17:02,054
We got a police escort to the hotel
605
00:17:02,054 --> 00:17:03,288
and of course,
606
00:17:03,288 --> 00:17:04,323
stoned to the bejesus,
607
00:17:04,323 --> 00:17:05,457
just laughing like hell
608
00:17:05,457 --> 00:17:07,626
the whole time, right? Wow. Wow. Yeah.
609
00:17:07,693 --> 00:17:09,061
Pulling into the hotel.
610
00:17:09,061 --> 00:17:10,863
Or it was we didn't stay in hotels.
611
00:17:10,863 --> 00:17:12,464
We stayed in motels.
612
00:17:12,464 --> 00:17:13,732
Remember? Motels, yeah.
613
00:17:13,732 --> 00:17:15,534
Oh yeah. Yeah.
614
00:17:15,534 --> 00:17:17,102
You're in those motels.
615
00:17:17,102 --> 00:17:19,304
Yeah, we're staying at the motel.
616
00:17:19,304 --> 00:17:20,305
Motel. All right.
617
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:22,441
Well, I'm going to.
618
00:17:22,441 --> 00:17:23,542
I'll give. You the.
619
00:17:23,542 --> 00:17:24,710
Lights.
620
00:17:25,611 --> 00:17:27,513
I'll give you a serious liquor story
621
00:17:27,513 --> 00:17:28,547
then, too, then,
622
00:17:28,547 --> 00:17:30,382
because it is no joke,
623
00:17:30,382 --> 00:17:31,050
and I don't know who
624
00:17:31,050 --> 00:17:32,618
these poor fellows were.
625
00:17:32,618 --> 00:17:34,153
I think I want to say
626
00:17:34,153 --> 00:17:37,389
it was in the Caribbean or Indiana area,
627
00:17:37,389 --> 00:17:38,891
but I was or maybe Missouri.
628
00:17:38,891 --> 00:17:39,491
I won't swear to it.
629
00:17:39,491 --> 00:17:40,626
But anyhow,
630
00:17:41,060 --> 00:17:42,027
Buck's drunk
631
00:17:42,027 --> 00:17:43,829
guy, guys driving down the road,
632
00:17:43,829 --> 00:17:45,097
three or four employees
633
00:17:45,097 --> 00:17:46,865
in the back of the box, drug
634
00:17:46,865 --> 00:17:48,767
liquor back there.
635
00:17:48,767 --> 00:17:50,102
Guy like two cigaret
636
00:17:50,102 --> 00:17:52,604
in the liquor goes up in flames
637
00:17:52,604 --> 00:17:54,039
guy driving down the road.
638
00:17:54,039 --> 00:17:56,175
Obviously this is a big box truck
639
00:17:56,175 --> 00:17:57,476
and they're fighting
640
00:17:57,476 --> 00:17:58,544
for the lights back there.
641
00:17:58,544 --> 00:18:01,146
And I don't know if they killed them.
642
00:18:01,146 --> 00:18:03,515
I know it seriously. At least burn.
643
00:18:03,515 --> 00:18:04,950
Some of them may have killed them.
644
00:18:04,950 --> 00:18:05,717
I don't know.
645
00:18:05,717 --> 00:18:07,619
But I mean, so that's no joke.
646
00:18:07,619 --> 00:18:09,421
I mean, so consider that
647
00:18:09,421 --> 00:18:10,689
Bakker's a dangerous animal, man.
648
00:18:10,689 --> 00:18:11,623
We want to get honest
649
00:18:11,623 --> 00:18:12,991
on a thing about liquor,
650
00:18:12,991 --> 00:18:14,660
but yeah, it is no joke, man.
651
00:18:14,660 --> 00:18:17,229
Something finishes out there, so.
652
00:18:17,229 --> 00:18:18,430
Yeah, anybody who's been to
653
00:18:18,430 --> 00:18:20,032
my school knows the story.
654
00:18:20,032 --> 00:18:21,667
My great grandfather
655
00:18:21,667 --> 00:18:23,001
got killed in the liquor fire.
656
00:18:23,001 --> 00:18:25,104
So that's why every part of our school,
657
00:18:25,671 --> 00:18:27,840
big part of our school is fire safety
658
00:18:28,807 --> 00:18:30,375
and proper.
659
00:18:30,375 --> 00:18:33,779
How to properly wear a operator's belt.
660
00:18:33,779 --> 00:18:36,315
So you're not tied into the machine?
661
00:18:36,315 --> 00:18:37,082
Yeah, let's.
662
00:18:37,082 --> 00:18:38,317
Let's try to bring this back
663
00:18:38,317 --> 00:18:40,252
around to the fun stuff.
664
00:18:40,252 --> 00:18:40,919
Yeah.
665
00:18:42,321 --> 00:18:42,888
All right, all right.
666
00:18:42,888 --> 00:18:43,622
So that's mine.
667
00:18:43,622 --> 00:18:45,390
That's my first one, you know?
668
00:18:45,390 --> 00:18:46,725
Okay.
669
00:18:46,725 --> 00:18:48,460
No, it's not a skin condition.
670
00:18:48,460 --> 00:18:50,162
I rub my knuckles on the floor
671
00:18:50,162 --> 00:18:52,464
and on concrete and wood all day long.
672
00:18:53,298 --> 00:18:54,366
You ever look at a floor?
673
00:18:54,366 --> 00:18:55,801
Man's knuckles
674
00:18:56,401 --> 00:18:58,470
and and the big calluses on them?
675
00:18:58,470 --> 00:18:59,705
The biggest I've ever seen
676
00:18:59,705 --> 00:19:00,873
and I've seen guys out
677
00:19:00,873 --> 00:19:03,275
there was a big house I used to,
678
00:19:03,275 --> 00:19:04,643
but they've pretty much gone away
679
00:19:04,643 --> 00:19:06,211
now, and I never thought they would.
680
00:19:06,211 --> 00:19:06,778
But
681
00:19:07,946 --> 00:19:10,149
my Uncle Stan, his.
682
00:19:10,382 --> 00:19:11,583
Stooge, is now.
683
00:19:11,583 --> 00:19:12,918
Yeah, yeah.
684
00:19:12,918 --> 00:19:14,620
And my uncle, I remember my uncle,
685
00:19:14,620 --> 00:19:14,953
like I said,
686
00:19:14,953 --> 00:19:15,320
he was like
687
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,356
54, 56 years in a trade and,
688
00:19:17,356 --> 00:19:18,557
and that used to bother him.
689
00:19:18,557 --> 00:19:19,091
You know,
690
00:19:19,091 --> 00:19:20,459
he goes, you know, when I get done do is
691
00:19:20,459 --> 00:19:21,660
I think I can have these taken off
692
00:19:21,660 --> 00:19:23,328
or whatever and go, dude,
693
00:19:23,362 --> 00:19:24,329
that's a badge of courage
694
00:19:24,329 --> 00:19:25,197
in my eyes, man.
695
00:19:25,197 --> 00:19:26,298
I mean, that's that's that's
696
00:19:26,298 --> 00:19:27,332
that's like stripes on a
697
00:19:27,332 --> 00:19:28,734
on a soldier, man
698
00:19:28,734 --> 00:19:30,869
on a on a on his sleeves.
699
00:19:30,869 --> 00:19:33,005
That that wouldn't bother me a bit.
700
00:19:33,005 --> 00:19:34,406
And I was proud of mine.
701
00:19:34,406 --> 00:19:35,340
And I'm one of those guys
702
00:19:35,340 --> 00:19:36,608
are when they have them.
703
00:19:36,608 --> 00:19:37,643
But as I told you,
704
00:19:37,643 --> 00:19:40,179
he he taught me to work with my palms
705
00:19:40,179 --> 00:19:40,612
on the floor
706
00:19:40,612 --> 00:19:42,314
instead of my knuckles on the floor
707
00:19:42,314 --> 00:19:44,249
because of what happened to him.
708
00:19:44,249 --> 00:19:46,251
And later in life, I got
709
00:19:47,619 --> 00:19:49,621
carpal tunnel syndrome, whatever.
710
00:19:49,621 --> 00:19:50,455
And
711
00:19:51,156 --> 00:19:52,891
so I would alternate back and forth.
712
00:19:52,891 --> 00:19:53,292
But yeah.
713
00:19:53,292 --> 00:19:55,827
Did you just call it Corporal or.
714
00:19:55,827 --> 00:19:57,629
I probably did.
715
00:19:57,629 --> 00:19:58,063
Corporal.
716
00:19:58,063 --> 00:19:58,797
Corporal
717
00:19:59,131 --> 00:20:02,401
Corporal Tunnell Tunnel Syndrome.
718
00:20:02,401 --> 00:20:03,101
It's not as bad
719
00:20:03,101 --> 00:20:03,735
as Captain
720
00:20:03,735 --> 00:20:05,671
or Major Tunnell, but corporal. Yeah.
721
00:20:05,671 --> 00:20:07,105
Well he hear.
722
00:20:07,105 --> 00:20:09,541
Yeah, he had kids.
723
00:20:09,541 --> 00:20:11,343
It might be carpal.
724
00:20:11,343 --> 00:20:13,278
I think it's carpal tunnel syndrome.
725
00:20:13,278 --> 00:20:15,280
I think it is carpal. Yeah.
726
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,584
What from now on, I'm calling a corporal.
727
00:20:19,051 --> 00:20:21,320
You're going to go with that? Oh.
728
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,488
I think Corporal sounds much better.
729
00:20:23,488 --> 00:20:25,424
Absolutely. Yeah, well.
730
00:20:25,424 --> 00:20:26,692
That's where it starts out.
731
00:20:26,692 --> 00:20:27,326
You know, Corporal,
732
00:20:27,326 --> 00:20:28,460
who only got one or two stripes,
733
00:20:28,460 --> 00:20:29,595
I can't remember.
734
00:20:29,595 --> 00:20:30,929
But then as it gets bigger,
735
00:20:30,929 --> 00:20:31,730
it can be like,
736
00:20:31,730 --> 00:20:34,266
you know, Captain Tunnell syndrome.
737
00:20:34,366 --> 00:20:35,901
Captain Major, right?
738
00:20:35,901 --> 00:20:36,535
Yeah.
739
00:20:36,602 --> 00:20:37,803
Now, you can tell the floor
740
00:20:37,803 --> 00:20:39,004
guys in the Northeast, too,
741
00:20:39,004 --> 00:20:41,373
because the backs of their hands
742
00:20:41,373 --> 00:20:42,107
are all ripped
743
00:20:42,107 --> 00:20:45,310
to shreds from scraping on radiator.
744
00:20:45,310 --> 00:20:46,578
Okay. Yeah.
745
00:20:46,578 --> 00:20:48,947
Some of them old cars directive. Just
746
00:20:50,849 --> 00:20:51,583
nobody was
747
00:20:51,583 --> 00:20:53,385
financing any metals back then.
748
00:20:53,385 --> 00:20:54,419
Believe me.
749
00:20:54,419 --> 00:20:55,988
I took six of them out of this house
750
00:20:55,988 --> 00:20:58,557
that I'm sitting in now. Yeah. So, yeah.
751
00:20:58,557 --> 00:20:59,558
No kidding.
752
00:20:59,658 --> 00:20:59,925
Yeah.
753
00:20:59,925 --> 00:21:02,261
Heavy output from brutal.
754
00:21:02,794 --> 00:21:04,196
Yeah, I paid some guy to take them
755
00:21:04,196 --> 00:21:05,530
because I think there was some.
756
00:21:05,530 --> 00:21:07,099
There's a way to get some of the atom,
757
00:21:07,099 --> 00:21:08,166
whatever, to get there and pick them up.
758
00:21:08,166 --> 00:21:10,435
So I had to take them to the dump myself.
759
00:21:10,435 --> 00:21:10,969
But
760
00:21:12,037 --> 00:21:13,538
how do you tell a floor guy?
761
00:21:13,538 --> 00:21:14,239
How do you tell someone
762
00:21:14,239 --> 00:21:15,307
you're a floor guy with that note?
763
00:21:15,307 --> 00:21:17,476
Tell them you're a floor guy.
764
00:21:17,776 --> 00:21:21,680
You could be staring at the Mona Lisa
765
00:21:22,047 --> 00:21:23,015
and the floor and servant
766
00:21:23,015 --> 00:21:24,783
have an a joint.
767
00:21:24,783 --> 00:21:25,284
And that's all
768
00:21:25,284 --> 00:21:25,884
you're going to think about
769
00:21:25,884 --> 00:21:26,785
is that it's going
770
00:21:26,785 --> 00:21:27,586
to bug the hell out of you.
771
00:21:29,054 --> 00:21:31,890
Yes, it could be in the movies.
772
00:21:31,890 --> 00:21:34,326
He'll critique the floors, not the art.
773
00:21:35,060 --> 00:21:35,594
Yeah, he's.
774
00:21:35,594 --> 00:21:37,496
Critiquing the floors.
775
00:21:37,496 --> 00:21:40,165
You can get to the climax in in a movie
776
00:21:41,033 --> 00:21:43,935
and if the scene is in a in a room
777
00:21:43,935 --> 00:21:44,636
with a hardwood floor
778
00:21:44,636 --> 00:21:45,871
and there's three or four joints
779
00:21:45,871 --> 00:21:46,838
right there,
780
00:21:46,838 --> 00:21:48,273
you're spun now,
781
00:21:48,273 --> 00:21:50,208
that's all you're going to think about.
782
00:21:50,409 --> 00:21:51,576
And you want to tell somebody.
783
00:21:51,576 --> 00:21:52,444
You want everybody,
784
00:21:52,444 --> 00:21:53,745
everybody's wife or girlfriend
785
00:21:53,745 --> 00:21:54,713
heard desk.
786
00:21:55,547 --> 00:21:56,515
Look at the floor.
787
00:21:56,515 --> 00:21:57,649
I can't see what they did.
788
00:21:57,649 --> 00:21:58,150
I mean, there's
789
00:21:58,150 --> 00:21:59,751
joints all over the place.
790
00:21:59,751 --> 00:22:00,452
I know, honey,
791
00:22:00,452 --> 00:22:04,323
but I'm just saying, who would do this?
792
00:22:04,323 --> 00:22:07,626
Have you ever worked on a movie set?
793
00:22:08,093 --> 00:22:09,094
No, but I was.
794
00:22:09,094 --> 00:22:10,796
I worked right next to one.
795
00:22:10,796 --> 00:22:13,231
You'll remember Will Smith, the actor.
796
00:22:13,231 --> 00:22:14,466
Yes. Yeah.
797
00:22:14,466 --> 00:22:15,734
I walked through his movie set.
798
00:22:15,734 --> 00:22:16,601
In fact, he said,
799
00:22:16,601 --> 00:22:17,235
what are you guys doing?
800
00:22:17,235 --> 00:22:18,437
We're shooting a movie here.
801
00:22:18,437 --> 00:22:23,008
We were on the way to lunch.
802
00:22:23,008 --> 00:22:24,643
Yeah. But it's
803
00:22:25,711 --> 00:22:27,279
I it wasn't a movie set.
804
00:22:27,279 --> 00:22:29,381
It was a set of The Sopranos.
805
00:22:30,482 --> 00:22:31,516
Oh, wow.
806
00:22:31,883 --> 00:22:33,485
I got a call from a distributor,
807
00:22:33,485 --> 00:22:34,986
and he's like,
808
00:22:35,721 --> 00:22:38,457
Hey, I got a cool proposition for you.
809
00:22:38,457 --> 00:22:40,058
Goes, There's this
810
00:22:40,058 --> 00:22:41,326
movie studio
811
00:22:41,326 --> 00:22:42,627
that's having an issue
812
00:22:42,627 --> 00:22:44,262
with one of the floors,
813
00:22:44,262 --> 00:22:44,830
and they're wondering
814
00:22:44,830 --> 00:22:45,664
if you can go over there
815
00:22:45,664 --> 00:22:47,432
and take a look at it and, you know,
816
00:22:47,432 --> 00:22:48,934
see if you can fix it.
817
00:22:48,934 --> 00:22:49,901
And
818
00:22:50,435 --> 00:22:53,372
it was so The Sopranos,
819
00:22:53,372 --> 00:22:54,539
and I was a
820
00:22:55,107 --> 00:22:57,042
huge Sopranos fan,
821
00:22:57,042 --> 00:22:59,544
and they shoot it down in Queens
822
00:22:59,544 --> 00:23:01,980
and I got to do the floors
823
00:23:02,647 --> 00:23:03,949
in the restaurant.
824
00:23:03,949 --> 00:23:04,649
I think it was called
825
00:23:04,649 --> 00:23:06,985
the Vesuvius or something.
826
00:23:06,985 --> 00:23:08,053
It was the restaurant
827
00:23:08,053 --> 00:23:10,489
that they did all the scenes in, and
828
00:23:10,489 --> 00:23:11,056
it was like,
829
00:23:11,056 --> 00:23:12,391
I don't know, second or third
830
00:23:12,391 --> 00:23:13,425
production manager,
831
00:23:13,425 --> 00:23:15,861
whoever was dragging me around,
832
00:23:16,361 --> 00:23:17,162
he's like, Yeah,
833
00:23:17,162 --> 00:23:19,664
there's such a glare on the floor that
834
00:23:19,664 --> 00:23:22,934
we can't shoot anything from the
835
00:23:22,934 --> 00:23:23,869
waist down.
836
00:23:24,970 --> 00:23:25,837
And he goes, You know,
837
00:23:25,837 --> 00:23:27,205
sometimes you want to do a shot.
838
00:23:27,205 --> 00:23:28,507
And I'm like, Yeah, I can.
839
00:23:28,507 --> 00:23:30,742
I can fix this easy and,
840
00:23:31,643 --> 00:23:32,177
you know,
841
00:23:32,177 --> 00:23:33,111
got a matte finish
842
00:23:33,111 --> 00:23:35,414
and everything took care of it.
843
00:23:35,414 --> 00:23:37,582
And it's funny you said that before
844
00:23:37,582 --> 00:23:40,218
because a few weeks,
845
00:23:40,218 --> 00:23:41,486
maybe a few weeks later,
846
00:23:41,486 --> 00:23:43,355
however long I was,
847
00:23:43,355 --> 00:23:44,523
were watching The Sopranos,
848
00:23:44,523 --> 00:23:45,991
my wife and I,
849
00:23:45,991 --> 00:23:47,459
and they did
850
00:23:47,459 --> 00:23:50,762
a pull back shot of the family.
851
00:23:51,229 --> 00:23:51,830
And you can see.
852
00:23:51,830 --> 00:23:53,965
The floor is there, right?
853
00:23:54,499 --> 00:23:56,168
Yeah, that's me. Seeing the floors.
854
00:23:56,168 --> 00:23:57,602
So I'm like, because
855
00:23:57,602 --> 00:23:59,204
you're welcome, everybody.
856
00:23:59,204 --> 00:24:00,372
Yeah, yeah.
857
00:24:00,372 --> 00:24:02,240
Because of me. That's me.
858
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:03,141
Okay.
859
00:24:03,275 --> 00:24:05,644
That is all me and all.
860
00:24:05,644 --> 00:24:08,180
This was. Over.
861
00:24:08,180 --> 00:24:09,214
I'm watching the credits
862
00:24:09,214 --> 00:24:10,282
like this, you know,
863
00:24:10,282 --> 00:24:12,217
move right in, like, oh,
864
00:24:12,217 --> 00:24:14,586
we're somewhere on the credits.
865
00:24:14,586 --> 00:24:16,321
I mean, they, you know.
866
00:24:16,321 --> 00:24:17,088
That's you.
867
00:24:17,088 --> 00:24:19,257
No, that's dead.
868
00:24:19,257 --> 00:24:20,058
Yeah, that's sad.
869
00:24:20,058 --> 00:24:21,460
When have I've been there before?
870
00:24:21,460 --> 00:24:23,829
When I've got my heart broken like that.
871
00:24:23,829 --> 00:24:26,064
Okay, so Sopranos,
872
00:24:26,631 --> 00:24:27,165
all these
873
00:24:27,165 --> 00:24:28,066
shows on Netflix,
874
00:24:28,066 --> 00:24:30,001
all these series that are going on
875
00:24:30,001 --> 00:24:30,569
and what have you,
876
00:24:30,569 --> 00:24:32,571
the granddaddy of them. All.
877
00:24:32,571 --> 00:24:34,072
Is number one, Sopranos.
878
00:24:34,072 --> 00:24:35,974
And number two, Breaking Bad of all time,
879
00:24:35,974 --> 00:24:37,342
the greatest two shows they're ever
880
00:24:39,144 --> 00:24:39,611
phenomenal.
881
00:24:39,611 --> 00:24:40,779
And I don't know which one was better.
882
00:24:40,779 --> 00:24:43,381
Breaking Bad was also insanely good.
883
00:24:43,381 --> 00:24:45,450
All right, Rob.
884
00:24:45,450 --> 00:24:46,485
Tell me your form, man,
885
00:24:46,485 --> 00:24:49,020
without telling me or form in.
886
00:24:49,020 --> 00:24:50,055
I tell my wife
887
00:24:50,055 --> 00:24:53,792
how to load the truck in my sleep.
888
00:24:53,792 --> 00:24:54,693
Really?
889
00:24:55,727 --> 00:24:56,561
Yeah.
890
00:24:56,561 --> 00:24:58,830
Did you help you load the truck?
891
00:24:58,830 --> 00:24:59,664
No.
892
00:25:00,465 --> 00:25:01,800
You just really.
893
00:25:02,167 --> 00:25:04,870
I have no idea what was going on, but
894
00:25:05,604 --> 00:25:07,973
the next morning, sitting, having coffee
895
00:25:07,973 --> 00:25:09,307
and she's just staring at me
896
00:25:09,307 --> 00:25:11,009
laughing, and she's like,
897
00:25:11,009 --> 00:25:12,911
you really need to take a break.
898
00:25:12,911 --> 00:25:15,313
And I'm like, You know what?
899
00:25:15,313 --> 00:25:16,581
I'm kind of
900
00:25:16,648 --> 00:25:17,249
Russian, you know,
901
00:25:17,249 --> 00:25:19,050
I got to get out the door
902
00:25:19,050 --> 00:25:20,585
and she's, like, giving me a hug
903
00:25:20,585 --> 00:25:22,921
and telling me, you need to slow down.
904
00:25:22,921 --> 00:25:24,723
You take a break here. What's the matter?
905
00:25:24,723 --> 00:25:25,991
She goes, Last night
906
00:25:25,991 --> 00:25:27,559
you were sound asleep
907
00:25:27,559 --> 00:25:28,760
and told me everything
908
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,396
to put in the truck for today's job.
909
00:25:31,763 --> 00:25:33,832
Oh, nice, nice.
910
00:25:33,832 --> 00:25:34,833
That's as good as.
911
00:25:34,833 --> 00:25:37,102
You just babbling on about
912
00:25:37,102 --> 00:25:39,504
paper and buffer and that and that.
913
00:25:39,538 --> 00:25:41,239
And so I looked at,
914
00:25:41,239 --> 00:25:43,441
I go, Did you get it done for me
915
00:25:43,441 --> 00:25:45,010
or do I have to go do that too?
916
00:25:45,010 --> 00:25:47,712
You know.
917
00:25:47,712 --> 00:25:48,246
I mean,
918
00:25:48,246 --> 00:25:49,714
everybody at the end of every job
919
00:25:49,714 --> 00:25:50,916
where they pick up
920
00:25:50,916 --> 00:25:51,483
a piece of wood,
921
00:25:51,483 --> 00:25:52,350
a piece of toilet
922
00:25:52,350 --> 00:25:52,851
in back in
923
00:25:52,851 --> 00:25:53,885
the days are usually a piece of two
924
00:25:53,885 --> 00:25:55,120
and a quarter inch.
925
00:25:55,120 --> 00:25:56,588
And you get your pencil,
926
00:25:56,588 --> 00:25:57,722
you write down what you're going to need
927
00:25:57,722 --> 00:25:58,323
the next day.
928
00:25:58,323 --> 00:25:58,990
What you know,
929
00:25:58,990 --> 00:26:00,725
I got to bring the plane in for tomorrow
930
00:26:00,725 --> 00:26:02,193
because of this one thing
931
00:26:02,193 --> 00:26:03,428
I got probably stop by
932
00:26:03,428 --> 00:26:03,828
and pick up
933
00:26:03,828 --> 00:26:04,362
something else
934
00:26:04,362 --> 00:26:06,464
that we don't have on a job or whatever.
935
00:26:06,464 --> 00:26:07,065
It's blowing.
936
00:26:07,065 --> 00:26:08,033
When he's flying tomorrow,
937
00:26:08,033 --> 00:26:08,533
when he's done
938
00:26:08,533 --> 00:26:10,168
or 36 feet is flying,
939
00:26:10,168 --> 00:26:12,270
let's make sure we put that in the truck.
940
00:26:12,270 --> 00:26:13,338
Yep, I remember.
941
00:26:13,338 --> 00:26:16,241
Well, Wayne,
942
00:26:16,808 --> 00:26:19,077
tell me you're a floor man without
943
00:26:19,077 --> 00:26:20,178
telling me your floor man.
944
00:26:21,980 --> 00:26:22,614
I have a pretty
945
00:26:22,614 --> 00:26:26,818
healthy disdain for electricians.
946
00:26:26,818 --> 00:26:27,185
But
947
00:26:28,987 --> 00:26:30,956
what they know is, is they get the needs.
948
00:26:30,956 --> 00:26:33,992
I every school
949
00:26:33,992 --> 00:26:36,361
that was the guy and a lot
950
00:26:36,361 --> 00:26:38,396
a lot of the students disagreeing.
951
00:26:38,396 --> 00:26:40,532
No, no, no painters.
952
00:26:40,865 --> 00:26:41,299
And I go
953
00:26:41,299 --> 00:26:43,168
I said, yes,
954
00:26:43,168 --> 00:26:45,337
I will give you the painters.
955
00:26:45,337 --> 00:26:45,770
I said,
956
00:26:45,770 --> 00:26:46,504
but to me,
957
00:26:46,504 --> 00:26:48,540
my number one guy, I'm so happy
958
00:26:48,540 --> 00:26:49,874
you said that
959
00:26:49,908 --> 00:26:50,475
my number
960
00:26:50,475 --> 00:26:53,011
one job site enemy is electricians.
961
00:26:54,212 --> 00:26:56,014
I'm not sure who these guys think
962
00:26:56,014 --> 00:26:57,115
they are.
963
00:26:57,382 --> 00:26:58,216
Yeah.
964
00:26:58,416 --> 00:26:59,684
Dragging their ladders
965
00:26:59,684 --> 00:27:00,986
and snipping their wires
966
00:27:00,986 --> 00:27:02,988
and leaving everything.
967
00:27:02,988 --> 00:27:03,788
You know,
968
00:27:03,788 --> 00:27:06,358
I it's not that like painters either,
969
00:27:06,992 --> 00:27:09,461
you know, it's just that I respect
970
00:27:09,461 --> 00:27:10,762
that they're working their butts off
971
00:27:10,762 --> 00:27:11,763
and they're, you know, they were up
972
00:27:11,763 --> 00:27:12,931
and they're down in their doorways,
973
00:27:12,931 --> 00:27:13,531
different things.
974
00:27:13,531 --> 00:27:14,499
And they're like, gosh, man,
975
00:27:14,499 --> 00:27:15,333
they're doing a lot of different
976
00:27:15,333 --> 00:27:16,468
things on the job.
977
00:27:16,468 --> 00:27:18,503
Well, Electrician got a pretty easy gig
978
00:27:18,870 --> 00:27:20,171
and you can't take the wires
979
00:27:20,171 --> 00:27:21,473
that you snipped and just,
980
00:27:21,473 --> 00:27:22,407
you know, sweep mop.
981
00:27:22,407 --> 00:27:23,074
At the end of the day,
982
00:27:23,074 --> 00:27:25,543
how insulting is that man?
983
00:27:25,543 --> 00:27:26,211
Yeah.
984
00:27:26,511 --> 00:27:28,013
Pick up on that.
985
00:27:28,013 --> 00:27:30,015
Yeah. Pick up after me. Yeah, yeah.
986
00:27:31,383 --> 00:27:31,783
That.
987
00:27:32,017 --> 00:27:32,617
That's that,
988
00:27:32,617 --> 00:27:33,585
that, that
989
00:27:33,585 --> 00:27:34,819
disdain goes for carpet
990
00:27:34,819 --> 00:27:35,820
guys, too, by the way.
991
00:27:35,820 --> 00:27:39,190
And plumbers and pretty much every trade
992
00:27:39,190 --> 00:27:43,061
it was on the job, except for myself.
993
00:27:43,061 --> 00:27:43,361
Yep.
994
00:27:43,928 --> 00:27:44,362
Yep.
995
00:27:47,766 --> 00:27:48,033
All right.
996
00:27:48,033 --> 00:27:49,634
How about this one?
997
00:27:49,634 --> 00:27:50,402
About a guy
998
00:27:50,402 --> 00:27:52,070
who can't stop looking at the stair
999
00:27:52,070 --> 00:27:54,572
steps in the H joint in the restaurant
1000
00:27:54,572 --> 00:27:59,277
that's so bad, he loses his appetite.
1001
00:27:59,277 --> 00:28:01,846
I got a pretty healthy appetite.
1002
00:28:01,980 --> 00:28:02,280
I wouldn't
1003
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:03,515
let it bother me to that point.
1004
00:28:03,515 --> 00:28:05,984
But yeah, I totally get it
1005
00:28:05,984 --> 00:28:07,318
because you want to just
1006
00:28:07,318 --> 00:28:08,820
call the guy and go do.
1007
00:28:08,820 --> 00:28:09,788
What were you thinking, man?
1008
00:28:09,788 --> 00:28:13,525
Come on, have some respect for the trade.
1009
00:28:14,192 --> 00:28:16,828
There was a place that my brother and me
1010
00:28:16,828 --> 00:28:19,297
and Pete used to always go for breakfast.
1011
00:28:19,297 --> 00:28:20,732
You know, when.
1012
00:28:21,299 --> 00:28:22,867
When we could go out for breakfast.
1013
00:28:22,867 --> 00:28:24,102
Remember? Remember those days?
1014
00:28:24,102 --> 00:28:24,769
A long time ago?
1015
00:28:24,769 --> 00:28:25,503
A few years back.
1016
00:28:25,503 --> 00:28:27,439
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1017
00:28:27,439 --> 00:28:27,939
Yeah.
1018
00:28:27,939 --> 00:28:29,908
And they had the first done, which
1019
00:28:31,076 --> 00:28:32,243
really blew
1020
00:28:32,243 --> 00:28:35,013
me away that they had the floors done.
1021
00:28:35,013 --> 00:28:35,914
And Pete
1022
00:28:35,914 --> 00:28:37,048
and I never even thought to
1023
00:28:37,048 --> 00:28:37,749
maybe, you know,
1024
00:28:37,749 --> 00:28:38,817
give him a business card
1025
00:28:38,817 --> 00:28:41,519
or at supper or whatever and I
1026
00:28:43,254 --> 00:28:44,589
just couldn't
1027
00:28:44,589 --> 00:28:47,726
believe how bad the job was
1028
00:28:47,759 --> 00:28:49,394
to the point where I asked the waitress,
1029
00:28:49,394 --> 00:28:51,029
did he pay for this?
1030
00:28:51,029 --> 00:28:54,532
Did he did he pay the guy for this?
1031
00:28:54,532 --> 00:28:56,534
Wow. I mean, even.
1032
00:28:56,534 --> 00:28:58,636
She started pointing things out.
1033
00:28:58,636 --> 00:29:01,840
The waitress.
1034
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,475
Yeah, we have a guy
1035
00:29:03,641 --> 00:29:04,743
and this is California.
1036
00:29:04,743 --> 00:29:05,510
So California,
1037
00:29:05,510 --> 00:29:05,710
you know,
1038
00:29:05,710 --> 00:29:07,112
the big cities is more impersonal.
1039
00:29:07,112 --> 00:29:08,246
But I had a floor guy
1040
00:29:08,246 --> 00:29:08,813
one time doing
1041
00:29:08,813 --> 00:29:09,814
two floors of the house,
1042
00:29:09,814 --> 00:29:11,883
two houses down from me.
1043
00:29:12,884 --> 00:29:14,152
And to me
1044
00:29:14,152 --> 00:29:14,986
that was like, I'm
1045
00:29:14,986 --> 00:29:16,554
now getting in my van and I'm driving
1046
00:29:16,554 --> 00:29:18,089
40 miles away to do a job.
1047
00:29:19,057 --> 00:29:21,493
This model is two houses over for me.
1048
00:29:22,494 --> 00:29:24,362
I mean, I'm right here.
1049
00:29:25,163 --> 00:29:25,497
I was.
1050
00:29:25,497 --> 00:29:28,533
Going there.
1051
00:29:28,533 --> 00:29:30,602
Is that the worst thing in the world?
1052
00:29:31,169 --> 00:29:32,804
It absolutely. Is.
1053
00:29:32,804 --> 00:29:34,706
Your own street?
1054
00:29:34,706 --> 00:29:35,540
Yeah.
1055
00:29:35,607 --> 00:29:36,241
You want
1056
00:29:36,241 --> 00:29:38,409
you want to walk down and go look,
1057
00:29:38,409 --> 00:29:40,345
I know, you know.
1058
00:29:40,345 --> 00:29:41,045
Yeah.
1059
00:29:41,312 --> 00:29:44,015
We might not know each other,
1060
00:29:44,015 --> 00:29:44,716
but I know it. Come.
1061
00:29:44,716 --> 00:29:46,985
Oh, there's a floor guy on the street.
1062
00:29:46,985 --> 00:29:51,055
You people are checking right?
1063
00:29:51,055 --> 00:29:52,724
Yeah. That's a that's.
1064
00:29:52,724 --> 00:29:54,125
A that's a tough one.
1065
00:29:54,125 --> 00:29:55,927
That's yes.
1066
00:29:56,261 --> 00:29:57,295
That's a rough one.
1067
00:29:57,295 --> 00:29:58,196
I will give you that.
1068
00:29:58,196 --> 00:29:58,863
Absolutely.
1069
00:29:58,863 --> 00:30:03,001
Yep, yep.
1070
00:30:03,001 --> 00:30:03,902
What's another way?
1071
00:30:03,902 --> 00:30:05,804
Way you can tell
1072
00:30:05,804 --> 00:30:08,473
without saying I'm a floor man.
1073
00:30:08,473 --> 00:30:10,141
I'm vacuum more than any person
1074
00:30:10,141 --> 00:30:14,078
you ever met.
1075
00:30:14,078 --> 00:30:14,412
Okay.
1076
00:30:14,412 --> 00:30:15,547
Tell me someone that vacuums
1077
00:30:15,547 --> 00:30:18,416
more than a floor guy.
1078
00:30:18,416 --> 00:30:19,651
I mean, you know, also
1079
00:30:19,651 --> 00:30:21,319
you think about how many times on a job
1080
00:30:21,319 --> 00:30:22,420
they ever counted,
1081
00:30:22,420 --> 00:30:22,921
how many times
1082
00:30:22,921 --> 00:30:26,491
you vacuum on a job, even for a coach.
1083
00:30:26,491 --> 00:30:26,891
By the way,
1084
00:30:26,891 --> 00:30:27,725
why I used
1085
00:30:27,859 --> 00:30:29,060
the day of the let's see, it's
1086
00:30:29,060 --> 00:30:30,829
4000 square feet is coding day
1087
00:30:31,996 --> 00:30:32,530
the way that
1088
00:30:32,530 --> 00:30:32,864
I used
1089
00:30:32,864 --> 00:30:33,431
to do it
1090
00:30:33,431 --> 00:30:34,265
in my mind,
1091
00:30:34,265 --> 00:30:36,668
I'm not going there to coat the floors.
1092
00:30:36,668 --> 00:30:37,502
I don't want to go there
1093
00:30:37,502 --> 00:30:38,636
with the with the feeling
1094
00:30:38,636 --> 00:30:39,304
that I'm going there
1095
00:30:39,304 --> 00:30:41,372
and I got to get this floor coding today.
1096
00:30:41,372 --> 00:30:43,141
I departmental ized
1097
00:30:43,141 --> 00:30:46,077
every every room and every step.
1098
00:30:46,077 --> 00:30:47,145
So when I go,
1099
00:30:47,145 --> 00:30:48,847
I'm operating the floor between codes.
1100
00:30:48,847 --> 00:30:49,848
That's all I care about.
1101
00:30:49,848 --> 00:30:51,182
I'm going to take this one big room.
1102
00:30:51,182 --> 00:30:52,717
I'm going to break that
1103
00:30:52,717 --> 00:30:54,118
move on to the next one.
1104
00:30:54,118 --> 00:30:55,353
And I compartmentalize.
1105
00:30:55,353 --> 00:30:57,689
So it doesn't get overwhelming to me,
1106
00:30:57,689 --> 00:30:58,223
you know what I mean?
1107
00:30:58,223 --> 00:30:59,324
Especially if you're there by yourself
1108
00:30:59,324 --> 00:31:00,625
on a monster job,
1109
00:31:00,625 --> 00:31:02,594
and then I go announce the vacuum step.
1110
00:31:02,594 --> 00:31:03,928
I'm not even thinking about coding.
1111
00:31:03,928 --> 00:31:05,730
I don't care about coding.
1112
00:31:05,730 --> 00:31:07,198
All I care about now is
1113
00:31:07,198 --> 00:31:09,000
I want to vacuum this floor perfectly.
1114
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:09,834
And you know how many
1115
00:31:09,834 --> 00:31:11,035
times you vacuum the floor.
1116
00:31:13,171 --> 00:31:14,672
Till it's clean?
1117
00:31:15,173 --> 00:31:16,674
As many times as it takes.
1118
00:31:16,674 --> 00:31:18,243
You're right. It's clean.
1119
00:31:18,243 --> 00:31:19,477
Those Glenfield
1120
00:31:19,477 --> 00:31:20,845
new filters, new bags,
1121
00:31:20,845 --> 00:31:21,646
vacuum it and then.
1122
00:31:21,646 --> 00:31:22,981
Well, I'm done with that.
1123
00:31:22,981 --> 00:31:24,515
I mix up all the finishes
1124
00:31:24,515 --> 00:31:27,218
and then even then I compartmentalize it.
1125
00:31:27,218 --> 00:31:28,052
I'm doing this room.
1126
00:31:28,052 --> 00:31:28,653
That's always
1127
00:31:28,653 --> 00:31:30,154
all I care about is this room
1128
00:31:30,154 --> 00:31:32,323
which allows me to just in my mind, just
1129
00:31:33,224 --> 00:31:34,292
be a perfectionist
1130
00:31:34,292 --> 00:31:36,427
and just try to drill down this one room,
1131
00:31:36,661 --> 00:31:37,495
get it flawless, don't
1132
00:31:37,495 --> 00:31:39,330
even think about the other rooms
1133
00:31:39,330 --> 00:31:40,531
and then work
1134
00:31:40,531 --> 00:31:41,532
my way through the whole job.
1135
00:31:41,532 --> 00:31:42,901
But if I go there with the expectation
1136
00:31:42,901 --> 00:31:44,936
I got to get this floor coated today
1137
00:31:44,936 --> 00:31:46,471
to me that I never wanted
1138
00:31:46,471 --> 00:31:47,505
to approach a job like that.
1139
00:31:47,505 --> 00:31:49,140
I go there thinking
1140
00:31:49,140 --> 00:31:49,641
I will go there
1141
00:31:49,641 --> 00:31:50,808
and I got to braid the floor.
1142
00:31:50,808 --> 00:31:51,843
That's all I care about right now.
1143
00:31:51,843 --> 00:31:53,344
I have all my stuff, whatever,
1144
00:31:53,344 --> 00:31:54,245
and then I go from there,
1145
00:31:54,245 --> 00:31:55,213
I get off topic there,
1146
00:31:55,213 --> 00:31:56,281
but that's the any other way
1147
00:31:56,281 --> 00:31:57,782
that I approach it. That's okay.
1148
00:31:59,250 --> 00:32:00,551
Pete and I used to call it
1149
00:32:00,551 --> 00:32:01,986
the train track.
1150
00:32:01,986 --> 00:32:04,155
That's what today is
1151
00:32:04,455 --> 00:32:05,523
that day.
1152
00:32:05,590 --> 00:32:06,491
Yeah, I remember
1153
00:32:06,491 --> 00:32:09,594
one of the best referrals we ever got
1154
00:32:09,627 --> 00:32:12,397
or testimonials we ever got, which
1155
00:32:13,197 --> 00:32:15,667
in one way it didn't upset me, but I was
1156
00:32:16,234 --> 00:32:17,669
obviously disappointed.
1157
00:32:17,669 --> 00:32:18,369
But
1158
00:32:19,137 --> 00:32:20,204
the guy said
1159
00:32:20,204 --> 00:32:21,906
it did a great job on the floor.
1160
00:32:21,906 --> 00:32:24,142
They did a great job on the floors.
1161
00:32:24,142 --> 00:32:24,809
But
1162
00:32:26,110 --> 00:32:27,512
the house was cleaner
1163
00:32:27,512 --> 00:32:28,713
when they left than it was
1164
00:32:28,713 --> 00:32:30,481
before they got there.
1165
00:32:30,715 --> 00:32:33,217
And that was like a big thing, you know?
1166
00:32:33,217 --> 00:32:35,353
And now this is back in the eighties.
1167
00:32:35,353 --> 00:32:38,089
So you remember back then
1168
00:32:38,089 --> 00:32:39,691
you didn't have the
1169
00:32:39,691 --> 00:32:40,158
the bone
1170
00:32:40,158 --> 00:32:41,292
DCS systems
1171
00:32:41,292 --> 00:32:42,794
in the VAC systems and everything.
1172
00:32:42,794 --> 00:32:47,765
So you would spend, what, half a day
1173
00:32:48,533 --> 00:32:49,734
you want a real good, clean job.
1174
00:32:49,734 --> 00:32:50,568
I mean,
1175
00:32:50,568 --> 00:32:51,602
when you really want
1176
00:32:51,602 --> 00:32:53,771
I mean, windowsills tops, doors,
1177
00:32:54,372 --> 00:32:55,373
all that stuff,
1178
00:32:55,373 --> 00:32:57,642
anything that can drop dust down on the
1179
00:32:58,409 --> 00:32:59,911
on the finish go right.
1180
00:33:01,412 --> 00:33:03,581
We so you get to.
1181
00:33:03,581 --> 00:33:06,384
The bone and DC system is
1182
00:33:06,384 --> 00:33:07,952
a complete game changer
1183
00:33:07,952 --> 00:33:10,088
you know I was talking to him about it.
1184
00:33:10,088 --> 00:33:10,588
It's not that he
1185
00:33:10,588 --> 00:33:13,091
doesn't spend a lot of time
1186
00:33:13,091 --> 00:33:14,158
cleaning,
1187
00:33:14,158 --> 00:33:14,792
it's just
1188
00:33:14,792 --> 00:33:15,493
he really doesn't
1189
00:33:15,493 --> 00:33:16,894
have to spend as much time
1190
00:33:16,894 --> 00:33:19,530
because he's running that DCS unit.
1191
00:33:20,565 --> 00:33:22,333
So you are a little bit put off
1192
00:33:22,333 --> 00:33:25,203
that they were more excited
1193
00:33:25,236 --> 00:33:27,305
how clean the house was in the floor.
1194
00:33:27,305 --> 00:33:28,539
Yes.
1195
00:33:28,539 --> 00:33:30,842
That's when we started and
1196
00:33:31,809 --> 00:33:34,145
people were excited about that.
1197
00:33:34,145 --> 00:33:36,814
When people would see that testimonial,
1198
00:33:36,814 --> 00:33:37,582
that's where I was going
1199
00:33:37,582 --> 00:33:38,683
to head back to a little bit.
1200
00:33:38,683 --> 00:33:41,219
I was going to circle back
1201
00:33:41,285 --> 00:33:42,987
back then.
1202
00:33:43,054 --> 00:33:43,788
That's where people
1203
00:33:43,788 --> 00:33:46,157
would not have their floor sanded.
1204
00:33:46,157 --> 00:33:47,058
Everybody was, Oh,
1205
00:33:47,058 --> 00:33:48,159
I don't want to deal with.
1206
00:33:48,159 --> 00:33:51,062
I've heard I heard that can be a mess.
1207
00:33:51,062 --> 00:33:52,196
I don't want to deal with that.
1208
00:33:53,398 --> 00:33:54,365
You remind me of a guy
1209
00:33:54,365 --> 00:33:56,034
used to lift weights with
1210
00:33:56,034 --> 00:33:59,237
and this guy was a monster power.
1211
00:33:59,370 --> 00:33:59,704
I mean.
1212
00:33:59,704 --> 00:34:03,274
This guy this this guy was I mean built
1213
00:34:03,274 --> 00:34:05,576
like you cannot believe the picture
1214
00:34:05,576 --> 00:34:06,944
Mike Tyson.
1215
00:34:06,944 --> 00:34:08,613
But more built than that
1216
00:34:08,613 --> 00:34:10,114
I mean, he was a serious
1217
00:34:10,114 --> 00:34:12,550
serious into bodybuilding.
1218
00:34:12,550 --> 00:34:15,219
But the dude had no legs I mean.
1219
00:34:16,087 --> 00:34:17,388
He had no legs.
1220
00:34:17,388 --> 00:34:19,323
I mean, he could not grow his legs.
1221
00:34:19,323 --> 00:34:20,758
It worked out his legs.
1222
00:34:20,758 --> 00:34:22,860
His legs were strong.
1223
00:34:22,860 --> 00:34:24,162
But he's getting mad at me
1224
00:34:24,162 --> 00:34:27,331
because I just pretty decent sized legs.
1225
00:34:27,331 --> 00:34:28,199
He was way stronger than me.
1226
00:34:28,199 --> 00:34:29,467
Don't get me wrong. I mean, waist down.
1227
00:34:29,467 --> 00:34:32,303
But I got I got good legs and good legs.
1228
00:34:34,372 --> 00:34:34,672
Yeah.
1229
00:34:34,672 --> 00:34:35,206
Yeah.
1230
00:34:36,307 --> 00:34:36,574
Right.
1231
00:34:36,574 --> 00:34:39,043
So the biggest insult of I've never seen
1232
00:34:39,043 --> 00:34:39,377
this guy
1233
00:34:39,377 --> 00:34:40,912
more disgusting in his life
1234
00:34:40,912 --> 00:34:42,447
when we're out one night in a
1235
00:34:42,447 --> 00:34:43,481
at a bar or something
1236
00:34:43,481 --> 00:34:45,483
and he was talking to some girl
1237
00:34:45,483 --> 00:34:47,685
and here's how built this guy was.
1238
00:34:47,685 --> 00:34:48,653
I got him a present
1239
00:34:48,653 --> 00:34:49,620
one time for Christmas.
1240
00:34:49,620 --> 00:34:50,588
I got him a sweater. Right.
1241
00:34:50,588 --> 00:34:50,988
Because, you know,
1242
00:34:50,988 --> 00:34:52,757
we're family is wife and my wife.
1243
00:34:52,757 --> 00:34:54,792
But the other Christmas, I got him.
1244
00:34:54,792 --> 00:34:55,593
I got him a present.
1245
00:34:55,593 --> 00:34:57,929
Yo, that was a sweater. Right? And
1246
00:34:59,130 --> 00:35:01,199
you bought another man a sweater?
1247
00:35:01,199 --> 00:35:03,201
Well, my wife probably bought it, but,
1248
00:35:03,201 --> 00:35:04,135
you know, it was
1249
00:35:04,135 --> 00:35:05,870
I had to get him something, right?
1250
00:35:05,870 --> 00:35:07,004
Although
1251
00:35:07,672 --> 00:35:08,706
the wife's leaving, everything
1252
00:35:08,706 --> 00:35:09,240
pulls me aside.
1253
00:35:09,240 --> 00:35:11,809
He goes, Do you want me sweater?
1254
00:35:12,610 --> 00:35:14,912
I go. Yeah. He goes.
1255
00:35:15,213 --> 00:35:16,080
I don't get up every day
1256
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:17,181
and work out like this to wear
1257
00:35:17,181 --> 00:35:18,316
sweaters, man.
1258
00:35:18,316 --> 00:35:19,817
And I went, Oh, shoot.
1259
00:35:19,817 --> 00:35:21,185
I mean, think like that, you know?
1260
00:35:21,185 --> 00:35:23,855
I mean, you should.
1261
00:35:23,855 --> 00:35:24,188
About him.
1262
00:35:24,188 --> 00:35:26,257
Fair jeans he could wear to the beach.
1263
00:35:26,257 --> 00:35:26,724
Yeah.
1264
00:35:26,724 --> 00:35:29,026
So anyhow, so we're at this bar
1265
00:35:29,026 --> 00:35:30,661
and there is a girl
1266
00:35:30,661 --> 00:35:31,362
comes out and she goes,
1267
00:35:31,362 --> 00:35:32,797
I know what you do.
1268
00:35:32,797 --> 00:35:35,099
I know what you I know what you are.
1269
00:35:35,099 --> 00:35:36,334
It goes, What?
1270
00:35:36,334 --> 00:35:39,570
And she goes, You're a gymnast.
1271
00:35:40,238 --> 00:35:41,606
And I mean, the guy was.
1272
00:35:41,606 --> 00:35:43,141
Disgusted.
1273
00:35:43,241 --> 00:35:43,841
Because, you know,
1274
00:35:43,841 --> 00:35:45,109
they get the upper body or whatever,
1275
00:35:45,109 --> 00:35:46,410
but the guy had no legs.
1276
00:35:46,410 --> 00:35:47,578
I mean,
1277
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:49,147
every time I think of this guy, I mean
1278
00:35:49,147 --> 00:35:52,483
I mean or.
1279
00:35:52,483 --> 00:35:54,719
Yeah, your story. Remind me of that dude.
1280
00:35:55,353 --> 00:35:56,888
All right. You know,
1281
00:35:58,022 --> 00:36:00,124
Christmas gifts
1282
00:36:01,159 --> 00:36:02,093
and I don't
1283
00:36:02,093 --> 00:36:04,095
know why it's taken me so long
1284
00:36:05,296 --> 00:36:08,699
to get on to this one, but
1285
00:36:08,699 --> 00:36:11,369
you remember your shoes.
1286
00:36:11,369 --> 00:36:12,103
Yeah, my good.
1287
00:36:12,103 --> 00:36:14,105
You know, we talked about the shoes.
1288
00:36:14,105 --> 00:36:16,407
You showed everybody, YouTube everything.
1289
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,176
Yeah. Mm hmm.
1290
00:36:18,342 --> 00:36:19,110
Well.
1291
00:36:19,110 --> 00:36:22,547
Pauline loved those shoes.
1292
00:36:22,547 --> 00:36:23,915
Of course.
1293
00:36:24,348 --> 00:36:25,116
Yeah.
1294
00:36:25,383 --> 00:36:26,083
Yeah.
1295
00:36:26,184 --> 00:36:29,320
So, Christmas morning, one of my gifts
1296
00:36:30,721 --> 00:36:32,823
is the Wayne Highlander shoes.
1297
00:36:33,124 --> 00:36:34,892
No kidding.
1298
00:36:35,726 --> 00:36:37,461
Oh, I'll be darned popular.
1299
00:36:37,461 --> 00:36:38,229
Yeah.
1300
00:36:38,763 --> 00:36:40,398
But she got the.
1301
00:36:40,398 --> 00:36:42,066
That's a nice shoe.
1302
00:36:42,066 --> 00:36:43,534
Look at that. Right.
1303
00:36:43,534 --> 00:36:44,168
If you want.
1304
00:36:44,168 --> 00:36:46,904
It.
1305
00:36:46,904 --> 00:36:49,240
Wow. Very nice.
1306
00:36:49,240 --> 00:36:51,909
Yeah, I warm about a month ago my pajamas
1307
00:36:51,909 --> 00:36:52,977
just because she said
1308
00:36:52,977 --> 00:36:55,112
you haven't worn the shoes yet.
1309
00:36:55,112 --> 00:36:57,281
I go, well, we haven't gone anywhere.
1310
00:36:58,282 --> 00:36:59,717
Yeah. You can't wear them.
1311
00:36:59,717 --> 00:37:01,319
I haven't gone. Anywhere.
1312
00:37:01,319 --> 00:37:01,986
No kidding.
1313
00:37:01,986 --> 00:37:02,186
Right.
1314
00:37:02,186 --> 00:37:06,557
Well, when you put them on.
1315
00:37:06,557 --> 00:37:06,991
They're going to make
1316
00:37:06,991 --> 00:37:07,892
you feel like a new man.
1317
00:37:09,827 --> 00:37:11,462
All right, Rob,
1318
00:37:11,662 --> 00:37:12,330
we got some.
1319
00:37:12,330 --> 00:37:13,998
More. Let's do a couple more.
1320
00:37:13,998 --> 00:37:16,667
Okay. Go ahead.
1321
00:37:16,667 --> 00:37:17,602
Ask me.
1322
00:37:18,302 --> 00:37:20,771
All right, Rob, tell me your floor, man.
1323
00:37:20,771 --> 00:37:22,773
Without telling me your floor, man.
1324
00:37:22,773 --> 00:37:25,243
I've used floor sanding equipment
1325
00:37:25,243 --> 00:37:29,213
on furniture.
1326
00:37:29,213 --> 00:37:31,449
I practice on a lot of our furniture.
1327
00:37:31,449 --> 00:37:33,117
Yes, myself.
1328
00:37:33,117 --> 00:37:33,451
In fact,
1329
00:37:33,451 --> 00:37:34,485
the table that just the computer
1330
00:37:34,485 --> 00:37:35,553
sitting on.
1331
00:37:35,553 --> 00:37:38,089
What did you say with the floor, Sander?
1332
00:37:38,089 --> 00:37:39,657
I built the dining room table
1333
00:37:39,657 --> 00:37:40,124
one day
1334
00:37:40,124 --> 00:37:43,160
and I started using a palm sander,
1335
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:43,594
I think.
1336
00:37:43,594 --> 00:37:44,028
And
1337
00:37:45,363 --> 00:37:47,098
I said, My God,
1338
00:37:47,098 --> 00:37:48,199
this is definitely sturdy
1339
00:37:48,199 --> 00:37:50,334
and I can put a buffer up here.
1340
00:37:50,334 --> 00:37:52,803
So I put the buffer up there,
1341
00:37:52,803 --> 00:37:54,739
dropped the handle.
1342
00:37:55,473 --> 00:37:56,574
I was done in seconds
1343
00:37:56,574 --> 00:37:59,010
and it look perfect.
1344
00:37:59,010 --> 00:37:59,577
My wife said,
1345
00:37:59,577 --> 00:38:01,078
I'm going to come crashing down.
1346
00:38:01,078 --> 00:38:03,180
I go, No, don't worry about, not a thing.
1347
00:38:04,815 --> 00:38:05,883
My neighbor, one day
1348
00:38:05,883 --> 00:38:07,785
he brought his dining room table over
1349
00:38:07,785 --> 00:38:08,853
and he goes, Hey,
1350
00:38:08,853 --> 00:38:10,821
you think you can sand this down for me?
1351
00:38:10,821 --> 00:38:14,325
Yeah, sure.
1352
00:38:14,325 --> 00:38:16,460
Got up on the table
1353
00:38:16,460 --> 00:38:18,663
or I got up on a chair next to the table
1354
00:38:19,864 --> 00:38:22,033
and started edging it.
1355
00:38:22,066 --> 00:38:23,200
That's when I found out
1356
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:24,235
that some products aren't
1357
00:38:24,235 --> 00:38:26,370
solid their veneer.
1358
00:38:26,370 --> 00:38:28,539
Oh, ouch.
1359
00:38:28,673 --> 00:38:29,407
You went through it.
1360
00:38:29,407 --> 00:38:30,975
It was your neighbors.
1361
00:38:31,075 --> 00:38:35,579
It was my neighbors, yeah.
1362
00:38:35,579 --> 00:38:37,248
And he took a risk.
1363
00:38:37,248 --> 00:38:38,816
That's not on you.
1364
00:38:38,816 --> 00:38:39,750
Yeah.
1365
00:38:40,518 --> 00:38:42,987
He's like, you know, they get painted,
1366
00:38:43,154 --> 00:38:43,921
you know, you can paint that.
1367
00:38:43,921 --> 00:38:44,789
You don't need that.
1368
00:38:44,789 --> 00:38:45,056
Yeah.
1369
00:38:45,056 --> 00:38:45,690
I go through
1370
00:38:45,690 --> 00:38:47,792
and I can stand through the entire layer
1371
00:38:47,792 --> 00:38:49,060
and just give you the net.
1372
00:38:49,060 --> 00:38:50,161
He goes, No, no, no, no, no.
1373
00:38:50,161 --> 00:38:51,195
That's that's good.
1374
00:38:51,195 --> 00:38:51,929
Yeah, yeah.
1375
00:38:51,929 --> 00:38:52,997
Thanks, Rob.
1376
00:38:53,230 --> 00:38:55,833
Yeah.
1377
00:38:55,833 --> 00:38:57,868
And he was the guy that I saw
1378
00:38:57,902 --> 00:38:59,103
the other floor company's
1379
00:38:59,103 --> 00:39:00,571
truck in his driveway.
1380
00:39:00,571 --> 00:39:01,706
Oh, there you go.
1381
00:39:01,706 --> 00:39:03,040
Yeah, perfect. That's why.
1382
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,911
That's why I called the other guy.
1383
00:39:06,911 --> 00:39:07,712
What do you mean?
1384
00:39:07,712 --> 00:39:09,714
What about by the floor? Man's a
1385
00:39:10,681 --> 00:39:11,282
curse.
1386
00:39:11,282 --> 00:39:13,217
The Sanders curse.
1387
00:39:13,317 --> 00:39:18,122
Oh, man, the I, the I, the Sanders I.
1388
00:39:18,122 --> 00:39:20,725
Once you've sanded floors
1389
00:39:20,725 --> 00:39:23,594
and once you start going to stuff,
1390
00:39:23,594 --> 00:39:25,396
you see everything
1391
00:39:25,863 --> 00:39:26,964
I'm watching. Bam.
1392
00:39:26,964 --> 00:39:29,233
He's he's going to be bald, man.
1393
00:39:29,233 --> 00:39:30,368
He's going to lose his he's
1394
00:39:30,368 --> 00:39:31,435
got a nice head of hair.
1395
00:39:31,435 --> 00:39:32,970
He's going to lose it
1396
00:39:33,270 --> 00:39:35,506
because he's got hawks.
1397
00:39:35,506 --> 00:39:37,475
I yeah.
1398
00:39:37,475 --> 00:39:39,477
I had the eyes of a pigeon.
1399
00:39:39,477 --> 00:39:42,079
He has the eye of a hawk.
1400
00:39:42,079 --> 00:39:42,747
And I remember
1401
00:39:42,747 --> 00:39:44,548
just leave in every single job
1402
00:39:44,548 --> 00:39:45,416
looking at Pete going,
1403
00:39:45,416 --> 00:39:46,083
Wow, we're screwed.
1404
00:39:46,083 --> 00:39:47,885
We're not getting paid for this one.
1405
00:39:47,885 --> 00:39:48,452
Look at that.
1406
00:39:48,452 --> 00:39:49,120
Look at this movie.
1407
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,055
That one. It's Oh, that's great.
1408
00:39:51,055 --> 00:39:52,123
All the schools are
1409
00:39:52,123 --> 00:39:53,257
just what your head's doing
1410
00:39:53,257 --> 00:39:55,393
now, not an up and down. Yep.
1411
00:39:55,393 --> 00:39:56,427
Every floor guy
1412
00:39:56,427 --> 00:39:58,529
there thinks the same exact thing.
1413
00:39:59,230 --> 00:39:59,597
Yeah.
1414
00:40:00,631 --> 00:40:01,232
But
1415
00:40:02,233 --> 00:40:04,668
I tell him we have a motto, though.
1416
00:40:06,170 --> 00:40:08,572
The Sanders curse.
1417
00:40:09,073 --> 00:40:10,875
Now tell everybody this.
1418
00:40:10,875 --> 00:40:12,076
There's no such thing
1419
00:40:12,076 --> 00:40:14,812
as the perfect floor,
1420
00:40:14,812 --> 00:40:16,881
but the pursuit of perfection
1421
00:40:18,115 --> 00:40:20,851
will consistently give us excellence.
1422
00:40:22,219 --> 00:40:23,788
How do you like that?
1423
00:40:23,788 --> 00:40:25,556
I like that. That's good.
1424
00:40:25,556 --> 00:40:26,490
You like that?
1425
00:40:26,690 --> 00:40:28,192
I'm going to hashtag that.
1426
00:40:28,192 --> 00:40:30,127
You've done the perfect floor, right?
1427
00:40:30,127 --> 00:40:30,928
Yeah.
1428
00:40:31,228 --> 00:40:31,495
Yeah.
1429
00:40:31,495 --> 00:40:31,962
Oh, no.
1430
00:40:31,962 --> 00:40:34,732
No, no, no, no.
1431
00:40:35,299 --> 00:40:36,133
But that's it, man.
1432
00:40:36,133 --> 00:40:36,801
And you're right.
1433
00:40:36,801 --> 00:40:38,402
You ratcheted up more and more.
1434
00:40:38,402 --> 00:40:39,370
I mean, the better your
1435
00:40:39,370 --> 00:40:40,404
I gets,
1436
00:40:40,404 --> 00:40:41,772
the more situations you've been
1437
00:40:41,772 --> 00:40:44,809
in, the more, you know, species of wood
1438
00:40:44,809 --> 00:40:47,244
you sanded, the more lighting situations
1439
00:40:47,244 --> 00:40:47,945
you've been in,
1440
00:40:47,945 --> 00:40:49,246
the more different sub floors
1441
00:40:49,246 --> 00:40:49,647
and what them
1442
00:40:49,647 --> 00:40:53,184
how them so floors will change the floor.
1443
00:40:53,184 --> 00:40:55,586
That's why this job is so tough is that
1444
00:40:57,121 --> 00:40:58,122
and you know,
1445
00:40:58,122 --> 00:40:59,223
you talk to one more sometimes
1446
00:40:59,223 --> 00:41:00,391
and they'll never understand this
1447
00:41:00,391 --> 00:41:02,092
but you can take a great floor guy.
1448
00:41:02,092 --> 00:41:04,428
I mean, a stud floor guy on one job,
1449
00:41:04,428 --> 00:41:05,529
bring him to another job
1450
00:41:05,529 --> 00:41:07,498
in a completely different situation,
1451
00:41:07,498 --> 00:41:08,432
completely different
1452
00:41:08,432 --> 00:41:10,201
direction of the flooring and whatever.
1453
00:41:10,201 --> 00:41:12,236
And it's a whole nother.
1454
00:41:12,236 --> 00:41:14,472
The game changes from job to job.
1455
00:41:14,472 --> 00:41:15,840
It's not like
1456
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:16,440
a lot of things
1457
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:17,475
where you can do something,
1458
00:41:17,475 --> 00:41:19,310
okay, I got it figured out
1459
00:41:19,310 --> 00:41:20,311
and now I'll just take that
1460
00:41:20,311 --> 00:41:22,513
and I'll move it from job to job to job.
1461
00:41:22,513 --> 00:41:23,914
It doesn't work like that.
1462
00:41:23,914 --> 00:41:27,318
Every species of wood, every every
1463
00:41:27,384 --> 00:41:28,085
you know, the
1464
00:41:28,085 --> 00:41:29,487
the thickness of the wood
1465
00:41:29,487 --> 00:41:31,055
ever has been sanded several times.
1466
00:41:31,055 --> 00:41:33,624
The I was I was aged in the home,
1467
00:41:34,191 --> 00:41:36,527
the subfloor, the direction of lighting,
1468
00:41:36,961 --> 00:41:37,394
you know, where
1469
00:41:37,394 --> 00:41:38,662
there's perpendicular lighting
1470
00:41:38,662 --> 00:41:40,097
or parallel lighting,
1471
00:41:40,097 --> 00:41:41,165
all these things,
1472
00:41:41,165 --> 00:41:42,333
all these things matter, man.
1473
00:41:42,333 --> 00:41:42,700
They all
1474
00:41:42,700 --> 00:41:43,801
they're all part of the equation
1475
00:41:43,801 --> 00:41:46,537
that make a job. And it's a you know,
1476
00:41:48,172 --> 00:41:48,839
it's a pain.
1477
00:41:48,839 --> 00:41:49,540
I just
1478
00:41:50,074 --> 00:41:50,407
talked to
1479
00:41:50,407 --> 00:41:52,176
someone who had a problem with a job
1480
00:41:52,176 --> 00:41:53,911
using using a computer
1481
00:41:53,911 --> 00:41:55,679
and actually had no sense
1482
00:41:55,679 --> 00:41:56,247
he'd get into it.
1483
00:41:56,247 --> 00:41:57,915
But it was just a one off thing.
1484
00:41:57,915 --> 00:41:58,616
The guy could do that
1485
00:41:58,616 --> 00:42:00,050
for the rest of his life.
1486
00:42:00,050 --> 00:42:01,886
And you'll never have that problem again.
1487
00:42:01,886 --> 00:42:03,954
He ran into the perfect storm on a job
1488
00:42:04,421 --> 00:42:06,824
and and it got him.
1489
00:42:06,824 --> 00:42:08,125
So there's so many,
1490
00:42:08,125 --> 00:42:11,161
so many parts to the equation, man,
1491
00:42:11,161 --> 00:42:12,062
to being a floor man.
1492
00:42:12,062 --> 00:42:13,497
I mean, we see it all the time.
1493
00:42:13,497 --> 00:42:14,999
You got to be a master painter,
1494
00:42:14,999 --> 00:42:16,567
a master finisher.
1495
00:42:16,567 --> 00:42:17,401
I mean, you've got a
1496
00:42:17,401 --> 00:42:18,869
there's so many hats you have to wear.
1497
00:42:18,869 --> 00:42:20,371
And by the way,
1498
00:42:20,371 --> 00:42:22,373
a business had also to make money.
1499
00:42:22,373 --> 00:42:23,040
Why are you doing all
1500
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:24,041
these all these things
1501
00:42:25,009 --> 00:42:25,743
in a trade that
1502
00:42:25,743 --> 00:42:27,678
is harder and harder to get,
1503
00:42:27,678 --> 00:42:31,649
to get quality help,
1504
00:42:31,649 --> 00:42:32,349
the demands that are
1505
00:42:32,349 --> 00:42:33,551
put on the floor, guys, today,
1506
00:42:33,551 --> 00:42:35,486
I mean, it is is amazing to me.
1507
00:42:35,486 --> 00:42:35,953
I mean,
1508
00:42:36,253 --> 00:42:37,788
they're they're a whole different.
1509
00:42:37,788 --> 00:42:38,455
I mean,
1510
00:42:38,455 --> 00:42:39,557
we talk about it all the time
1511
00:42:39,557 --> 00:42:40,457
and I see it all the time
1512
00:42:40,457 --> 00:42:42,393
and the respect
1513
00:42:42,393 --> 00:42:44,361
that we have for the guys in this trade.
1514
00:42:44,361 --> 00:42:45,195
To me,
1515
00:42:45,195 --> 00:42:47,064
I see you guide to counter
1516
00:42:47,064 --> 00:42:49,733
the guy who's been around for 20 years.
1517
00:42:49,733 --> 00:42:50,868
You might do something every
1518
00:42:50,868 --> 00:42:51,302
he might do
1519
00:42:51,302 --> 00:42:52,736
everything differently than I do,
1520
00:42:52,736 --> 00:42:54,572
but to me, it's almost like NFL linemen,
1521
00:42:54,572 --> 00:42:56,073
man, or guys, you know what I mean?
1522
00:42:56,073 --> 00:42:57,374
They're pros. Yeah.
1523
00:42:57,374 --> 00:42:58,776
And they've all bring
1524
00:42:58,776 --> 00:43:00,311
their experience to the table.
1525
00:43:00,311 --> 00:43:01,712
They all got their way of doing things.
1526
00:43:01,712 --> 00:43:03,280
They learned the hard way,
1527
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:04,982
and they're proud of what they do.
1528
00:43:04,982 --> 00:43:06,083
And, you know,
1529
00:43:06,083 --> 00:43:06,850
you can
1530
00:43:07,151 --> 00:43:08,352
watch them do what they do
1531
00:43:08,352 --> 00:43:10,554
and never understand how they got there.
1532
00:43:10,554 --> 00:43:11,789
I mean, and so it's a
1533
00:43:11,789 --> 00:43:13,490
it is a trade that we love,
1534
00:43:13,490 --> 00:43:15,159
man, and appreciate
1535
00:43:15,159 --> 00:43:16,860
the guys do it and everything. So
1536
00:43:18,262 --> 00:43:18,762
listen, we're
1537
00:43:18,762 --> 00:43:20,831
two months behind this computer right now
1538
00:43:22,032 --> 00:43:22,866
just fooling around.
1539
00:43:22,866 --> 00:43:23,601
But
1540
00:43:24,868 --> 00:43:26,737
one thing that is, is
1541
00:43:26,737 --> 00:43:28,806
that never goes away is as a
1542
00:43:29,974 --> 00:43:31,909
it's like an old an old guy,
1543
00:43:31,909 --> 00:43:34,111
you know, an old an old boxer,
1544
00:43:34,111 --> 00:43:36,313
the last thing to go is the power
1545
00:43:36,313 --> 00:43:37,548
his reflexes will go.
1546
00:43:37,548 --> 00:43:39,183
Is is stamina will go,
1547
00:43:39,183 --> 00:43:39,984
everything will go.
1548
00:43:39,984 --> 00:43:41,852
Lasting goes his power.
1549
00:43:41,852 --> 00:43:42,753
When you've been doing floors
1550
00:43:42,753 --> 00:43:43,854
for a long time and everything,
1551
00:43:43,854 --> 00:43:45,923
the last thing he goes is a passion.
1552
00:43:45,923 --> 00:43:48,025
It's harder to get down on your knees
1553
00:43:48,025 --> 00:43:49,727
as you get older is harder.
1554
00:43:49,727 --> 00:43:50,427
It's harder
1555
00:43:50,427 --> 00:43:51,595
to to work
1556
00:43:51,595 --> 00:43:52,730
the amount of hours used to work
1557
00:43:52,730 --> 00:43:54,031
when you're a kid.
1558
00:43:54,064 --> 00:43:55,566
But I promise you,
1559
00:43:55,566 --> 00:43:57,001
the last thing that will go
1560
00:43:57,001 --> 00:43:58,736
is the passion.
1561
00:43:58,736 --> 00:44:00,237
So we're just having fun here today.
1562
00:44:00,237 --> 00:44:01,605
Talking talking about this.
1563
00:44:01,605 --> 00:44:03,040
And we gave
1564
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:04,708
I gave Eileen a hard time
1565
00:44:04,708 --> 00:44:05,275
beginning of this.
1566
00:44:05,275 --> 00:44:07,277
But if you do, it did happen
1567
00:44:07,277 --> 00:44:08,812
to get on that potpourri podcast
1568
00:44:08,812 --> 00:44:10,814
and it was the last one on there.
1569
00:44:10,814 --> 00:44:12,683
Check it out again
1570
00:44:12,683 --> 00:44:14,418
because we got it fixed anyhow.
1571
00:44:14,418 --> 00:44:15,352
So there we go.
1572
00:44:15,352 --> 00:44:17,421
We're just having some fun. And
1573
00:44:18,889 --> 00:44:21,392
one thing I want to before we
1574
00:44:21,392 --> 00:44:23,027
shut the show now,
1575
00:44:23,027 --> 00:44:26,163
not to bring it down, but
1576
00:44:26,497 --> 00:44:28,132
since we're talking about floor guys
1577
00:44:28,132 --> 00:44:30,601
who had some passion in everything,
1578
00:44:30,601 --> 00:44:32,936
a guy that used to work with us at
1579
00:44:33,771 --> 00:44:34,772
Boner
1580
00:44:35,139 --> 00:44:36,440
did a lot of training with him
1581
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:37,307
and everything.
1582
00:44:37,307 --> 00:44:40,244
A lot of people know him out there.
1583
00:44:40,678 --> 00:44:42,513
Dennis Bradley.
1584
00:44:42,513 --> 00:44:45,983
Dennis Bradley recently passed away and
1585
00:44:47,217 --> 00:44:49,353
I spent many a night talking to him
1586
00:44:49,353 --> 00:44:49,887
and, you know,
1587
00:44:49,887 --> 00:44:52,189
he loved floors and everything.
1588
00:44:52,189 --> 00:44:53,624
But I'll tell you what his passion was.
1589
00:44:53,624 --> 00:44:55,726
His passion was barbecue.
1590
00:44:55,726 --> 00:44:56,460
And,
1591
00:44:57,361 --> 00:44:59,196
you know, I won that barbecue contest
1592
00:44:59,196 --> 00:45:01,799
and I'm always bragging about. And.
1593
00:45:01,799 --> 00:45:03,801
Dennis said, coached me
1594
00:45:03,801 --> 00:45:05,335
through that entire thing.
1595
00:45:05,335 --> 00:45:08,005
I mean, each round I was winning.
1596
00:45:08,005 --> 00:45:08,972
Dennis is calling me
1597
00:45:08,972 --> 00:45:11,008
the day of the night before
1598
00:45:11,709 --> 00:45:13,043
prepping me and everything.
1599
00:45:13,043 --> 00:45:15,179
And I mean, we used to talk a lot
1600
00:45:15,179 --> 00:45:17,614
and train together and everything, but
1601
00:45:18,382 --> 00:45:19,817
we talked a lot about our
1602
00:45:19,817 --> 00:45:21,819
just had a lot of fun with him
1603
00:45:21,819 --> 00:45:25,222
and he had cancer recently passed away.
1604
00:45:25,222 --> 00:45:27,091
It was quick when he found out.
1605
00:45:27,091 --> 00:45:28,592
And you know,
1606
00:45:28,592 --> 00:45:29,893
I just want to give a shout out
1607
00:45:29,893 --> 00:45:31,929
to his friends and family and
1608
00:45:31,929 --> 00:45:33,497
hope they're doing okay. And
1609
00:45:34,531 --> 00:45:35,599
but he was a good man.
1610
00:45:35,599 --> 00:45:38,402
I I'm going to miss him.
1611
00:45:38,402 --> 00:45:39,570
It was funny, too, because the.
1612
00:45:39,570 --> 00:45:41,472
Last. Time I saw him
1613
00:45:41,472 --> 00:45:43,974
was a year ago December.
1614
00:45:44,575 --> 00:45:46,877
And classic Dennis Bradley.
1615
00:45:46,877 --> 00:45:48,779
He's like, Oh, geez,
1616
00:45:48,779 --> 00:45:50,614
glad I saw him in Cincinnati.
1617
00:45:50,614 --> 00:45:52,449
And he goes, Geez, I'm
1618
00:45:52,449 --> 00:45:54,017
glad to see your hair dry.
1619
00:45:54,017 --> 00:45:56,920
My new rub and my new steak sauce.
1620
00:45:56,954 --> 00:45:59,289
He he just happened to have that. Yeah.
1621
00:45:59,757 --> 00:46:02,159
So that's yeah, he was.
1622
00:46:02,826 --> 00:46:03,827
He'll be missed.
1623
00:46:03,827 --> 00:46:05,429
He'll definitely be missed.
1624
00:46:05,429 --> 00:46:05,829
You know,
1625
00:46:05,829 --> 00:46:07,064
we talk about a brotherhood
1626
00:46:07,064 --> 00:46:08,298
and what have you and we respect
1627
00:46:08,298 --> 00:46:09,700
all our competitors as well.
1628
00:46:09,700 --> 00:46:10,734
He went to work for
1629
00:46:10,734 --> 00:46:11,702
one of our competitors
1630
00:46:11,702 --> 00:46:12,803
and a
1631
00:46:12,936 --> 00:46:15,272
great industry guy really cared about
1632
00:46:15,272 --> 00:46:16,340
about the trade and everything.
1633
00:46:16,340 --> 00:46:17,641
So you're right.
1634
00:46:18,742 --> 00:46:19,610
Rest in peace.
1635
00:46:19,610 --> 00:46:21,245

Nice tribute to him. So thank you.
