00:00:11,745 --> 00:00:13,079
Hello and welcome to another episode
2
00:00:13,079 --> 00:00:14,280
of On the Floor with Wayne and Rob.
3
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:15,482
I'm Wayne Highlander,
4
00:00:15,482 --> 00:00:17,417
Director of Sales for Bona Adhesives.
5
00:00:17,417 --> 00:00:21,421
And I'm Rob Johnson from Bona Training.
6
00:00:21,588 --> 00:00:22,622
How you doing, Rob?
7
00:00:22,622 --> 00:00:24,357
Pretty good, but how are you?
8
00:00:24,357 --> 00:00:25,892
I'm well, thank you.
9
00:00:25,892 --> 00:00:28,061
Well, let's get this out of the way.
10
00:00:28,094 --> 00:00:29,129
Okay.
11
00:00:29,129 --> 00:00:30,063
People have been
12
00:00:30,063 --> 00:00:30,563
you know,
13
00:00:30,563 --> 00:00:32,766
we got a long listeners out there.
14
00:00:32,766 --> 00:00:33,666
People have been waiting
15
00:00:33,666 --> 00:00:36,002
for a few weeks, myself included.
16
00:00:37,904 --> 00:00:39,406
This is about vacations.
17
00:00:39,406 --> 00:00:40,206
I'm not going to call
18
00:00:40,206 --> 00:00:41,608
what you did a vacation
19
00:00:41,608 --> 00:00:43,910
because it was only a couple of days.
20
00:00:43,910 --> 00:00:46,079
A very competitive vacation,
21
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:46,813
if you ask me.
22
00:00:46,813 --> 00:00:50,450
But how did the fishing tournament go?
23
00:00:50,950 --> 00:00:51,684
Oh, well,
24
00:00:51,684 --> 00:00:53,787
it was kind of a well, it was it was
25
00:00:54,788 --> 00:00:55,922
I won't say a letdown.
26
00:00:55,922 --> 00:00:57,457
It was I was fishing.
27
00:00:57,457 --> 00:00:58,758
So it was still fun to go,
28
00:00:58,758 --> 00:01:00,827
but it was very tough conditions.
29
00:01:00,827 --> 00:01:02,896
So I one day one and he one day, too.
30
00:01:03,229 --> 00:01:04,864
Overall, I had the most weight,
31
00:01:04,864 --> 00:01:06,666
so it makes me the winner.
32
00:01:06,666 --> 00:01:08,568
But it was a lot of fun and
33
00:01:08,568 --> 00:01:10,837
and good to see an old friend. So.
34
00:01:10,837 --> 00:01:11,404
But you know what?
35
00:01:11,404 --> 00:01:12,739
We're great friends.
36
00:01:12,739 --> 00:01:13,406
We're like,
37
00:01:13,406 --> 00:01:13,540
you know,
38
00:01:13,540 --> 00:01:15,642
I've known him for over 35 years,
39
00:01:15,975 --> 00:01:16,810
but we cannot fish
40
00:01:16,810 --> 00:01:17,710
in the same boat together.
41
00:01:19,112 --> 00:01:20,313
And this is true.
42
00:01:20,313 --> 00:01:20,747
He knows it.
43
00:01:20,747 --> 00:01:22,215
And I know we can't we cannot be.
44
00:01:22,215 --> 00:01:22,749
And that's why
45
00:01:22,749 --> 00:01:23,783
I had to drive all the way
46
00:01:23,783 --> 00:01:25,218
there in my boat with my boat.
47
00:01:25,218 --> 00:01:25,752
And he had drive
48
00:01:25,752 --> 00:01:26,886
all the way there in his boat.
49
00:01:26,886 --> 00:01:29,089
We face the same leg together.
50
00:01:29,089 --> 00:01:30,290
But that's
51
00:01:30,323 --> 00:01:31,291
that's far very we cannot
52
00:01:31,291 --> 00:01:33,059
fish in the same boat together.
53
00:01:33,059 --> 00:01:35,161
So day one or the totals.
54
00:01:36,362 --> 00:01:37,297
They were low, man.
55
00:01:37,297 --> 00:01:38,698
It was the
56
00:01:38,698 --> 00:01:40,100
the lake was dropping,
57
00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:41,000
the water was dropping.
58
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,236
And so the bait was off and everybody
59
00:01:43,303 --> 00:01:44,471
all the even either fish.
60
00:01:44,471 --> 00:01:45,438
I never seen the lake before
61
00:01:45,438 --> 00:01:47,040
until that day either did he?
62
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,342
And everybody we talked to said no,
63
00:01:49,342 --> 00:01:50,743
that's just really tough.
64
00:01:50,743 --> 00:01:53,646
So I had four, seven, one £4.
65
00:01:53,646 --> 00:01:56,950
Everyone else is or 71 yet he had.
66
00:01:57,684 --> 00:01:59,853
So you had close to £5, day one.
67
00:01:59,853 --> 00:02:01,287
Yeah. With two.
68
00:02:01,287 --> 00:02:03,723
No, I'll take it back and say no.
69
00:02:03,723 --> 00:02:04,157
I had a
70
00:02:05,492 --> 00:02:07,560
I had almost £7 because I had a £2.
71
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:08,228
Oh.
72
00:02:08,328 --> 00:02:11,297
So I about £7 and he had zero.
73
00:02:12,699 --> 00:02:14,701
No fish. No fish.
74
00:02:14,701 --> 00:02:15,468
And the second day
75
00:02:15,468 --> 00:02:19,739
I had a dismal £1.2 and he had a £1.5.
76
00:02:19,739 --> 00:02:21,207
It was just brutal.
77
00:02:21,207 --> 00:02:24,144
So. So second day.
78
00:02:24,144 --> 00:02:24,644
Yep.
79
00:02:25,145 --> 00:02:29,582
1.2 for, you know, 1.4 for him.
80
00:02:29,649 --> 00:02:31,951
One point. Five. 1.5. Yeah.
81
00:02:31,951 --> 00:02:32,619
So anyhow.
82
00:02:32,619 --> 00:02:32,919
Yeah.
83
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,456
No big deal. Wow.
84
00:02:36,523 --> 00:02:37,957
That's kind of a letdown.
85
00:02:37,957 --> 00:02:39,058
I mean. Yeah.
86
00:02:39,058 --> 00:02:41,060
You know what it sounds like.
87
00:02:41,060 --> 00:02:41,761
Wait, wait, wait.
88
00:02:41,761 --> 00:02:44,931
Look, you know, I almost want to
89
00:02:44,931 --> 00:02:45,465
in this,
90
00:02:45,465 --> 00:02:47,200
Chris, I'd like you to put in
91
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,868
what Wayne was saying.
92
00:02:48,868 --> 00:02:50,670
I don't know if he was saying it to me
93
00:02:50,670 --> 00:02:53,373
or the show, but this was going to be it.
94
00:02:54,474 --> 00:02:55,275
Well, this was it.
95
00:02:55,275 --> 00:02:57,477
This this was going to be it.
96
00:02:57,477 --> 00:02:58,144
I mean, you
97
00:02:58,144 --> 00:03:00,146
and this guy, this you've been saying
98
00:03:00,146 --> 00:03:02,415
this guy has been telling everybody,
99
00:03:03,483 --> 00:03:05,051
telling you he is a much
100
00:03:05,051 --> 00:03:07,554
better fisherman than you. Mm hmm.
101
00:03:07,554 --> 00:03:09,389
And he knew it.
102
00:03:09,389 --> 00:03:10,623
He was adamant about it.
103
00:03:10,623 --> 00:03:12,959
And you were kind of out of the same way.
104
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:17,530
I mean, I'm looking at these totals.
105
00:03:17,530 --> 00:03:18,331
I don't
106
00:03:18,364 --> 00:03:18,698
you know,
107
00:03:18,698 --> 00:03:21,000
I hate to give you a pat on the back, but
108
00:03:22,068 --> 00:03:25,638
it looks like I could have beat this guy.
109
00:03:25,939 --> 00:03:26,105
Well.
110
00:03:26,406 --> 00:03:27,907
This guy, he's really a good fisherman.
111
00:03:27,907 --> 00:03:30,043
It's really it was really, really caught.
112
00:03:30,043 --> 00:03:32,078
One fish in two days.
113
00:03:32,078 --> 00:03:34,814
Well, one keeper. Yeah.
114
00:03:34,814 --> 00:03:36,416
So, yeah, it was tough, man.
115
00:03:36,416 --> 00:03:37,817
And in the
116
00:03:37,817 --> 00:03:38,551
but I did beat him,
117
00:03:38,551 --> 00:03:40,220
so that's all that matters.
118
00:03:40,553 --> 00:03:41,254
But that's it.
119
00:03:41,254 --> 00:03:43,590
I mean, is that is it it now?
120
00:03:43,590 --> 00:03:44,724
Is it over?
121
00:03:44,724 --> 00:03:46,326
Did he give. It to you? It's.
122
00:03:46,326 --> 00:03:47,060
He gave it up.
123
00:03:47,060 --> 00:03:49,229
Yeah, but it's never really over.
124
00:03:49,229 --> 00:03:53,032
So there'll be another time or so.
125
00:03:53,466 --> 00:03:54,467
Well, right now.
126
00:03:54,467 --> 00:03:56,769
Right now. You got the crown, then?
127
00:03:56,769 --> 00:03:57,971
Absolutely. Yeah.
128
00:03:57,971 --> 00:03:59,038
Okay. Yeah.
129
00:04:00,206 --> 00:04:01,207
You should make another
130
00:04:01,207 --> 00:04:03,042
belt buckle and say, here this is.
131
00:04:03,042 --> 00:04:04,110
Here you go.
132
00:04:04,110 --> 00:04:05,178
This is what I want.
133
00:04:05,178 --> 00:04:07,780
This is mine to you, you know.
134
00:04:07,981 --> 00:04:09,515
So you wear this, you got a
135
00:04:09,515 --> 00:04:10,883
you got to beat me to wear.
136
00:04:10,883 --> 00:04:12,151
There you go.
137
00:04:12,485 --> 00:04:13,686
All right, do the belt buckle.
138
00:04:13,686 --> 00:04:15,054
I'll get you a belt.
139
00:04:15,054 --> 00:04:16,589
So at least you have a belt.
140
00:04:16,589 --> 00:04:17,457
Yeah, because I got
141
00:04:17,457 --> 00:04:18,858
I can't have one without the other.
142
00:04:18,858 --> 00:04:19,592
And I want to be like.
143
00:04:19,592 --> 00:04:22,295
You know, you get belts and belt buckles.
144
00:04:22,562 --> 00:04:24,464
Don't give a kid a fire truck
145
00:04:24,464 --> 00:04:28,701
with no batteries in it.
146
00:04:28,701 --> 00:04:29,068
All right.
147
00:04:29,068 --> 00:04:30,103
We're only going to talking
148
00:04:30,103 --> 00:04:31,404
about vacations here.
149
00:04:31,404 --> 00:04:35,608
And we also we had we interviewed some
150
00:04:35,642 --> 00:04:36,242
some guys
151
00:04:36,242 --> 00:04:37,377
that there are
152
00:04:37,377 --> 00:04:38,778
regional training center in New Jersey,
153
00:04:38,778 --> 00:04:40,380
some the same guys we talked
154
00:04:40,380 --> 00:04:41,114
to about pressure.
155
00:04:41,114 --> 00:04:42,382
We asked them about vacations.
156
00:04:43,383 --> 00:04:43,750
Just in
157
00:04:43,750 --> 00:04:45,685
general in America,
158
00:04:45,685 --> 00:04:47,887
we don't handle vacations very well.
159
00:04:47,887 --> 00:04:49,589
A lot of people here in America
160
00:04:49,589 --> 00:04:51,124
and it seems like
161
00:04:51,124 --> 00:04:52,825
we take less vacation time than most
162
00:04:52,825 --> 00:04:54,861
any country out there.
163
00:04:55,028 --> 00:04:56,629
Surprisingly, I think we like
164
00:04:56,629 --> 00:05:01,000
we like work more hours than anybody.
165
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,071
And I will admit that I was still not
166
00:05:05,071 --> 00:05:06,339
very good at taking vacations.
167
00:05:06,339 --> 00:05:07,473
I don't
168
00:05:07,707 --> 00:05:09,575
I just kind of put it on the backburner
169
00:05:09,575 --> 00:05:10,343
a lot and whatever,
170
00:05:10,343 --> 00:05:13,079
probably to my detriment. But.
171
00:05:13,079 --> 00:05:14,414
But I'm fine.
172
00:05:14,414 --> 00:05:16,783
I'm fine. I'm happy. But.
173
00:05:16,783 --> 00:05:19,319
So when you run your own business,
174
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:20,386
it's hard to go on vacation.
175
00:05:20,386 --> 00:05:22,655
It's I always say it's hard to leave
176
00:05:22,655 --> 00:05:23,523
because there's so many things
177
00:05:23,523 --> 00:05:24,691
you have to do to line up
178
00:05:24,691 --> 00:05:26,526
before you can possibly go.
179
00:05:26,526 --> 00:05:28,261
And then it's hard to come back
180
00:05:28,261 --> 00:05:29,696
because there's so much to do
181
00:05:29,696 --> 00:05:30,797
since you've been gone
182
00:05:30,797 --> 00:05:32,432
and you have to get cut up.
183
00:05:32,432 --> 00:05:33,933
I'm amazed at some of the responses
184
00:05:33,933 --> 00:05:34,434
that we had
185
00:05:34,434 --> 00:05:36,269
that guys are able to delegate,
186
00:05:36,269 --> 00:05:37,003
which I always said
187
00:05:37,003 --> 00:05:39,272
was one of my Achilles heel.
188
00:05:39,272 --> 00:05:41,207
I didn't like to deal.
189
00:05:41,207 --> 00:05:41,774
They just didn't
190
00:05:41,774 --> 00:05:42,842
wasn't good at delegating.
191
00:05:44,310 --> 00:05:45,812
So what about yourself, Rob?
192
00:05:45,812 --> 00:05:46,412
I mean, you
193
00:05:46,412 --> 00:05:48,648
you value your family time
194
00:05:48,648 --> 00:05:50,750
and you like your vacations.
195
00:05:50,750 --> 00:05:53,219
And so maybe you can tell us how you
196
00:05:53,820 --> 00:05:54,821
how you handle it.
197
00:05:54,821 --> 00:05:58,458
Well, you know, when I first got married,
198
00:05:58,458 --> 00:05:59,892
but I was still working
199
00:05:59,892 --> 00:06:00,993
the family business.
200
00:06:00,993 --> 00:06:03,363
And I think I had
201
00:06:04,430 --> 00:06:05,531
I had two kids.
202
00:06:05,531 --> 00:06:07,066
And after I had my second kid,
203
00:06:07,066 --> 00:06:08,000
it wasn't far
204
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:08,801
long after that
205
00:06:08,801 --> 00:06:11,204
that I started my own business.
206
00:06:11,204 --> 00:06:13,873
But before the family business
207
00:06:13,906 --> 00:06:15,575
is the sport business.
208
00:06:15,575 --> 00:06:18,511
And sport business is
209
00:06:18,511 --> 00:06:20,513
six months of cruise
210
00:06:20,513 --> 00:06:23,316
and then six months of
211
00:06:23,316 --> 00:06:25,818
crazy hours, 80 hours a week.
212
00:06:25,818 --> 00:06:29,288
And those six months are the vacation.
213
00:06:29,288 --> 00:06:30,256
Once, you know,
214
00:06:30,256 --> 00:06:33,559
starts and starts in spring and ends in
215
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,496
in the fall.
216
00:06:36,496 --> 00:06:39,332
So we never my family,
217
00:06:39,332 --> 00:06:40,700
we never did vacations.
218
00:06:40,700 --> 00:06:43,002
And if we did, it was always a
219
00:06:43,002 --> 00:06:44,637
a late fall vacation
220
00:06:44,637 --> 00:06:45,938
when everything was closed.
221
00:06:45,938 --> 00:06:49,208
So vacations pretty much sucked, right?
222
00:06:49,308 --> 00:06:51,010
I mean, they were just kind of
223
00:06:51,010 --> 00:06:52,178
useless, but
224
00:06:53,346 --> 00:06:54,313
my grandparents had a
225
00:06:54,313 --> 00:06:57,316
beautiful cottage up in
226
00:06:57,316 --> 00:06:58,251
Lake Horace.
227
00:06:58,251 --> 00:06:59,986
In where? New Hampshire.
228
00:06:59,986 --> 00:07:01,053
So wasn't there.
229
00:07:01,053 --> 00:07:02,355
We got family vacations,
230
00:07:02,355 --> 00:07:03,356
but we got, you know,
231
00:07:03,356 --> 00:07:04,657
great weekends on the lake,
232
00:07:04,657 --> 00:07:07,360
so don't feel bad for me anyways.
233
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,862
When I started my own thing,
234
00:07:09,862 --> 00:07:11,664
I'll never forget the first time
235
00:07:11,664 --> 00:07:14,033
I took a family vacation because now I'm,
236
00:07:15,201 --> 00:07:15,601
you know, I'm
237
00:07:15,601 --> 00:07:17,069
not in a sport business anymore,
238
00:07:17,069 --> 00:07:18,571
so I'm just doing residential.
239
00:07:18,571 --> 00:07:19,439
So
240
00:07:20,039 --> 00:07:23,009
we took a vacation and it was awesome and
241
00:07:23,109 --> 00:07:23,810
turned out,
242
00:07:23,810 --> 00:07:25,545
you know, we wanted to do
243
00:07:25,545 --> 00:07:27,146
at least a couple of weeks every year.
244
00:07:27,146 --> 00:07:30,483
But what Pete and I found out was
245
00:07:33,553 --> 00:07:34,086
to take
246
00:07:34,086 --> 00:07:36,722
a one week vacation for Peter and I.
247
00:07:37,290 --> 00:07:39,692
We had to do like
248
00:07:39,692 --> 00:07:40,359
three times
249
00:07:40,359 --> 00:07:41,260
the amount of work
250
00:07:41,260 --> 00:07:43,229
for the two weeks before
251
00:07:43,229 --> 00:07:44,130
and then three times
252
00:07:44,130 --> 00:07:46,032
the amount of work for
253
00:07:46,032 --> 00:07:48,434
a few weeks after the vacation.
254
00:07:48,434 --> 00:07:50,736
They were killers,
255
00:07:50,736 --> 00:07:52,205
but it was
256
00:07:52,205 --> 00:07:53,873
it was definitely worth it because,
257
00:07:54,841 --> 00:07:55,741
you know, everybody
258
00:07:55,741 --> 00:07:59,745
in this business knows, you know,
259
00:07:59,812 --> 00:08:01,881
I tell the story of my daughter
260
00:08:01,881 --> 00:08:03,216
in law saying
261
00:08:03,216 --> 00:08:06,319
my my dad came home every day at 545
262
00:08:07,353 --> 00:08:09,355
and you never know when my husband's
263
00:08:09,355 --> 00:08:09,889
coming home.
264
00:08:09,889 --> 00:08:11,257
You never know when the floor mats go.
265
00:08:11,257 --> 00:08:12,992
If we can get a coat on,
266
00:08:12,992 --> 00:08:14,694
we're getting a coat on.
267
00:08:14,961 --> 00:08:16,596
Or if we're behind, we're behind.
268
00:08:16,596 --> 00:08:17,763
So you never know.
269
00:08:17,763 --> 00:08:19,332
So, you know,
270
00:08:19,332 --> 00:08:20,399
you take a lot of family
271
00:08:20,399 --> 00:08:21,567
time away from your family
272
00:08:21,567 --> 00:08:22,835
when you're doing this job.
273
00:08:22,835 --> 00:08:23,603
I get it.
274
00:08:23,603 --> 00:08:25,171
And that's why
275
00:08:25,171 --> 00:08:26,272
I thought the vacations
276
00:08:26,272 --> 00:08:28,374
were pretty important for everybody,
277
00:08:28,374 --> 00:08:30,510
just to have some fun, decompress.
278
00:08:31,210 --> 00:08:33,646
The only problem is,
279
00:08:33,813 --> 00:08:37,083
you know, now when I go on vacation,
280
00:08:37,083 --> 00:08:38,584
it's not just three kids, it's
281
00:08:38,584 --> 00:08:39,752
three other families.
282
00:08:41,287 --> 00:08:43,923
So they all want to vacation together.
283
00:08:44,824 --> 00:08:47,460
So so when you think it's
284
00:08:47,460 --> 00:08:50,363
the the the
285
00:08:50,596 --> 00:08:52,732
your your kids families as well,
286
00:08:52,765 --> 00:08:54,233
you all vacation together?
287
00:08:54,233 --> 00:08:55,635
Everybody vacation. Yes.
288
00:08:55,635 --> 00:08:56,536
We go out for ice cream.
289
00:08:56,536 --> 00:08:59,539
It costs me 100 bucks.
290
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:01,807
That's interesting.
291
00:09:01,807 --> 00:09:04,210
And so, I mean. They love it.
292
00:09:04,210 --> 00:09:05,177
They love it.
293
00:09:05,311 --> 00:09:07,480
They so it's a riot.
294
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,082
So the family all vacations together.
295
00:09:11,417 --> 00:09:12,618
Yes. I know.
296
00:09:12,618 --> 00:09:14,487
And I know another family that does that.
297
00:09:14,487 --> 00:09:15,521
And there's a lot of them
298
00:09:15,521 --> 00:09:17,723
there's probably like 15 of them
299
00:09:17,924 --> 00:09:19,959
that all go together.
300
00:09:19,959 --> 00:09:21,727
And it's so strange to me.
301
00:09:21,727 --> 00:09:22,528
I love that.
302
00:09:22,528 --> 00:09:24,263
I think that's fantastic
303
00:09:24,263 --> 00:09:25,698
that you do that.
304
00:09:25,698 --> 00:09:27,500
But it seems very odd to me now.
305
00:09:27,500 --> 00:09:28,434
What if one of them,
306
00:09:28,434 --> 00:09:29,201
when you know,
307
00:09:29,201 --> 00:09:30,536
when you're one of them says,
308
00:09:30,536 --> 00:09:32,471
no, we're going to go to Italy this year.
309
00:09:32,471 --> 00:09:34,040
I grew up.
310
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,641
Is that a problem or.
311
00:09:35,641 --> 00:09:37,209
No, that's awesome. Go.
312
00:09:37,209 --> 00:09:39,145
That's really great. Yeah, that
313
00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:42,915
that's just I'm going to save money.
314
00:09:42,915 --> 00:09:45,184
Yeah, I say, well, that's.
315
00:09:45,184 --> 00:09:46,752
That's nice that you guys do that.
316
00:09:46,752 --> 00:09:48,988
I think that's pretty cool.
317
00:09:48,988 --> 00:09:51,090
Yeah, it's a lot of fun.
318
00:09:51,090 --> 00:09:52,692
But like I said
319
00:09:52,692 --> 00:09:55,027
when we were self-employed, that was,
320
00:09:55,861 --> 00:09:57,863
that was, that was tough doing it.
321
00:09:57,863 --> 00:09:59,231
So I get it.
322
00:09:59,231 --> 00:10:01,200
And some of the questions
323
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,468
are some of the answers
324
00:10:02,468 --> 00:10:04,437
we were getting from guys
325
00:10:04,437 --> 00:10:06,539
was how they deal with vacations
326
00:10:06,539 --> 00:10:08,941
was just great. Very lucky.
327
00:10:08,941 --> 00:10:11,210
Some of them, yeah.
328
00:10:11,210 --> 00:10:12,878
You say there's important reasons
329
00:10:12,878 --> 00:10:18,250
to take vacations to.
330
00:10:18,250 --> 00:10:20,753
You told me that there are seven.
331
00:10:20,753 --> 00:10:22,521
Seven important reasons, right.
332
00:10:22,521 --> 00:10:22,655
Yeah.
333
00:10:22,655 --> 00:10:23,589
So yeah
334
00:10:23,589 --> 00:10:24,690
I'll give the
335
00:10:24,690 --> 00:10:25,925
I'm going to give seven reasons
336
00:10:25,925 --> 00:10:27,893
why to take a vacation.
337
00:10:27,893 --> 00:10:28,995
I'll give seven.
338
00:10:28,995 --> 00:10:31,430
Seven reasons why not to take a vacation.
339
00:10:31,564 --> 00:10:33,132
Yes, that's it.
340
00:10:33,132 --> 00:10:35,167
That's, um. Yeah, that's one. Mm.
341
00:10:38,871 --> 00:10:40,706
Okay, here we go.
342
00:10:40,706 --> 00:10:42,274
Uh, taking
343
00:10:42,274 --> 00:10:45,378
a vacation improves your physical health,
344
00:10:46,112 --> 00:10:47,813
lowers your blood pressure,
345
00:10:47,813 --> 00:10:49,649
both men and women.
346
00:10:49,649 --> 00:10:51,751
And that's from a New York Times report.
347
00:10:53,185 --> 00:10:56,222
Okay.
348
00:10:56,222 --> 00:10:57,790
Do you really want
349
00:10:57,790 --> 00:10:59,225
everybody to know how long they.
350
00:10:59,225 --> 00:11:03,863
Well, they can get along without you.
351
00:11:03,863 --> 00:11:07,933
You really want to take that chance?
352
00:11:07,933 --> 00:11:08,968
You know, you come back
353
00:11:08,968 --> 00:11:10,870
and then we had a fantastic week.
354
00:11:10,870 --> 00:11:12,872
I mean, the profits are up.
355
00:11:12,872 --> 00:11:14,440
You know, things were humming.
356
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:14,940
Didn't really
357
00:11:14,940 --> 00:11:18,310
even seem to miss your position.
358
00:11:18,310 --> 00:11:20,079
They're going to go out of their way
359
00:11:20,079 --> 00:11:22,181
to do a great job now, right? Yeah.
360
00:11:22,448 --> 00:11:24,650
Yeah. To just to prove to you.
361
00:11:24,650 --> 00:11:26,318
Yeah, we didn't.
362
00:11:26,318 --> 00:11:28,387
We didn't need you. Yeah. Yeah.
363
00:11:29,121 --> 00:11:29,655
You know what else
364
00:11:29,655 --> 00:11:31,223
the New York Times said?
365
00:11:31,223 --> 00:11:32,825
Maybe not every year,
366
00:11:32,825 --> 00:11:34,393
once every two years,
367
00:11:35,361 --> 00:11:36,262
take a vacation.
368
00:11:36,262 --> 00:11:37,630
Oh, really?
369
00:11:37,697 --> 00:11:40,166
Yeah. Hmm.
370
00:11:40,166 --> 00:11:43,202
Yeah, that one I don't get.
371
00:11:43,202 --> 00:11:44,370
Are you a vacation guy?
372
00:11:44,370 --> 00:11:46,472
Do you plan a vacation?
373
00:11:46,472 --> 00:11:49,241
No. I've said that many times. I don't.
374
00:11:49,442 --> 00:11:50,509
And I.
375
00:11:50,509 --> 00:11:52,244
And Judy never.
376
00:11:52,244 --> 00:11:54,380
Duty is bad attitude.
377
00:11:54,380 --> 00:11:56,415
Yeah, we're both bad at taking vacations.
378
00:11:56,682 --> 00:11:58,517
And I think, like her parents, her
379
00:11:58,517 --> 00:12:00,252
her family never took vacations either.
380
00:12:00,252 --> 00:12:02,621
Her dad never took off, ever.
381
00:12:03,089 --> 00:12:04,557
Like they would go to Lake Tahoe
382
00:12:04,557 --> 00:12:05,891
when she was a kid
383
00:12:05,891 --> 00:12:06,959
and he would work
384
00:12:06,959 --> 00:12:07,626
and he would come up
385
00:12:07,626 --> 00:12:09,695
like Saturday, Friday, Saturday,
386
00:12:09,695 --> 00:12:11,130
and then take them home,
387
00:12:11,130 --> 00:12:11,597
you know what I mean?
388
00:12:11,597 --> 00:12:12,798
So he would, like not be there
389
00:12:12,798 --> 00:12:14,533
for the for their vacations
390
00:12:14,533 --> 00:12:15,868
and where, you know, military,
391
00:12:15,868 --> 00:12:16,569
you don't have any money
392
00:12:16,569 --> 00:12:17,803
to go on vacation.
393
00:12:17,803 --> 00:12:19,939
So we never really took
394
00:12:19,939 --> 00:12:21,807
we would just go like, um, fishing trips
395
00:12:24,243 --> 00:12:27,213
in a tent.
396
00:12:27,213 --> 00:12:27,980
Stay always said.
397
00:12:27,980 --> 00:12:29,248
When you ever say fishing trip,
398
00:12:29,248 --> 00:12:30,116
I always think of that kid
399
00:12:30,116 --> 00:12:31,417
who was crying.
400
00:12:31,951 --> 00:12:32,818
Yeah. Yeah, that's.
401
00:12:32,818 --> 00:12:35,054
A hell of a vacation.
402
00:12:35,054 --> 00:12:36,322
If this poor kid thinks he's
403
00:12:36,322 --> 00:12:37,423
getting a nice
404
00:12:37,423 --> 00:12:39,391
three day fishing vacation.
405
00:12:39,391 --> 00:12:41,827
Yeah, yeah.
406
00:12:42,027 --> 00:12:44,029
There's a thing for my second reasons.
407
00:12:44,163 --> 00:12:46,298
So what's your second reason?
408
00:12:46,298 --> 00:12:47,333
Second reason?
409
00:12:47,333 --> 00:12:49,502
It says, what was the first one again?
410
00:12:49,902 --> 00:12:51,971
Because brace yourself.
411
00:12:51,971 --> 00:12:52,605
Yeah.
412
00:12:52,605 --> 00:12:55,040
Next one, it improves mental health.
413
00:12:56,408 --> 00:12:57,777
That should be number one.
414
00:12:57,777 --> 00:12:58,911
Also.
415
00:12:59,411 --> 00:13:01,614
The chronic exposure to stress
416
00:13:01,981 --> 00:13:03,783
can alter your brain structure
417
00:13:03,783 --> 00:13:05,951
and bring on anxiety and depression.
418
00:13:06,585 --> 00:13:08,087
When you take a vacation,
419
00:13:08,087 --> 00:13:11,223
feelings of calm arise.
420
00:13:11,223 --> 00:13:15,795
Ha, sometimes a lot of.
421
00:13:15,795 --> 00:13:18,631
Feelings of calm arise.
422
00:13:18,631 --> 00:13:19,231
Let me tell you,
423
00:13:19,231 --> 00:13:20,933
the last three days of vacation,
424
00:13:20,933 --> 00:13:22,001
all I had in my head
425
00:13:22,001 --> 00:13:23,702
was I get this job,
426
00:13:23,702 --> 00:13:24,336
I get this job,
427
00:13:24,336 --> 00:13:25,437
I got to do this estimate.
428
00:13:25,437 --> 00:13:26,806
I got to call that
429
00:13:26,806 --> 00:13:29,408
I don't know about feelings of calm arise
430
00:13:29,408 --> 00:13:31,443
maybe in the beginning.
431
00:13:31,443 --> 00:13:33,145
Yeah that was the other thing
432
00:13:33,145 --> 00:13:35,881
I found out about vacations too.
433
00:13:35,881 --> 00:13:37,850
You know, let's say you're going,
434
00:13:37,850 --> 00:13:38,417
you know,
435
00:13:38,417 --> 00:13:40,052
leaving Saturday, coming home
436
00:13:40,052 --> 00:13:42,321
Saturday, seven day vacation.
437
00:13:42,321 --> 00:13:43,756
We used to we used to
438
00:13:44,757 --> 00:13:46,692
rent this huge house in Cape Cod.
439
00:13:46,692 --> 00:13:48,627
It's actually two houses.
440
00:13:48,627 --> 00:13:51,297
So there is plenty of room for everybody.
441
00:13:51,297 --> 00:13:52,231
And
442
00:13:53,432 --> 00:13:54,834
it would be seriously,
443
00:13:54,834 --> 00:13:56,302
you would wake up and go,
444
00:13:56,302 --> 00:13:57,703
oh, my God, it's Thursday.
445
00:13:57,703 --> 00:13:59,872
Or What happened?
446
00:14:00,573 --> 00:14:02,308
What happened in the last five days?
447
00:14:02,308 --> 00:14:04,510
And that was just.
448
00:14:04,710 --> 00:14:08,180
Yeah, it goes quick.
449
00:14:08,180 --> 00:14:09,181
You know,
450
00:14:09,782 --> 00:14:13,619
vacations are expensive.
451
00:14:13,619 --> 00:14:14,954
And so you see a lot of people
452
00:14:14,954 --> 00:14:16,856
doing those staycations, whatever,
453
00:14:16,856 --> 00:14:18,891
where they're kind of staying home
454
00:14:18,891 --> 00:14:21,227
and not really going anywhere.
455
00:14:21,227 --> 00:14:24,096
But I think like I did that one time
456
00:14:24,663 --> 00:14:25,831
and you started walking around
457
00:14:25,831 --> 00:14:26,265
the house are
458
00:14:26,265 --> 00:14:27,533
look at everything that needs to be
459
00:14:27,533 --> 00:14:28,400
needs to be done.
460
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:29,268
And, you know, you
461
00:14:29,268 --> 00:14:29,668
the fence
462
00:14:29,668 --> 00:14:30,336
you want to build
463
00:14:30,336 --> 00:14:31,937
and the floor you want to do
464
00:14:31,937 --> 00:14:33,038
and all these other different things
465
00:14:33,038 --> 00:14:33,606
that you want to do.
466
00:14:33,606 --> 00:14:34,406
And it ends up costing
467
00:14:34,406 --> 00:14:35,941
you a lot of money. And
468
00:14:37,042 --> 00:14:37,810
so
469
00:14:38,510 --> 00:14:42,114
I can't I can't get by on staycations.
470
00:14:42,114 --> 00:14:43,749
I don't know in way that even
471
00:14:43,749 --> 00:14:44,650
I don't think they did
472
00:14:44,650 --> 00:14:47,786
that years ago and consider it a vacation
473
00:14:47,786 --> 00:14:48,387
to mother.
474
00:14:48,387 --> 00:14:49,221
Just keep on working
475
00:14:49,221 --> 00:14:50,055
and keep making money
476
00:14:50,055 --> 00:14:52,892
and just just just forget about it.
477
00:14:53,192 --> 00:14:54,660
Just throw the whole thing out.
478
00:14:54,660 --> 00:14:56,128
Yeah, yeah.
479
00:14:56,395 --> 00:14:56,695
Well,
480
00:14:56,695 --> 00:14:57,663
you know, since COVID
481
00:14:57,663 --> 00:14:58,230
and everything,
482
00:14:58,230 --> 00:15:00,399
we haven't done that family thing.
483
00:15:00,866 --> 00:15:02,601
We are doing it this year.
484
00:15:02,601 --> 00:15:03,636
We got a place up
485
00:15:03,636 --> 00:15:06,272
and we're going to a lake up in Canada.
486
00:15:06,739 --> 00:15:07,706
We got a big enough place
487
00:15:07,706 --> 00:15:08,641
for everybody to go,
488
00:15:08,641 --> 00:15:10,309
so we'll be doing that
489
00:15:10,309 --> 00:15:11,243
at the end of August.
490
00:15:11,243 --> 00:15:12,611
But we haven't
491
00:15:12,611 --> 00:15:15,014
done our family structure vacation
492
00:15:15,014 --> 00:15:17,283
since Cove it because of all the
493
00:15:18,050 --> 00:15:19,652
all the craziness and everything.
494
00:15:19,652 --> 00:15:20,853
So who who.
495
00:15:20,853 --> 00:15:22,154
Picks the
496
00:15:22,154 --> 00:15:24,456
who picks the locations you guys go to.
497
00:15:24,456 --> 00:15:25,591
Whoever pays.
498
00:15:25,591 --> 00:15:28,127
So it's usually me.
499
00:15:28,127 --> 00:15:28,794
So you have to pay
500
00:15:28,794 --> 00:15:29,528
for the whole lot of them.
501
00:15:31,163 --> 00:15:31,764
Yeah,
502
00:15:32,531 --> 00:15:35,067
yeah.
503
00:15:35,067 --> 00:15:38,771
That's a problem.
504
00:15:38,771 --> 00:15:40,205
Not really. It's not.
505
00:15:40,205 --> 00:15:41,006
Okay.
506
00:15:41,073 --> 00:15:42,541
It's a deal.
507
00:15:42,541 --> 00:15:45,144
You know, I was I was going to say
508
00:15:45,144 --> 00:15:47,313
you could have everybody chip in.
509
00:15:47,313 --> 00:15:49,381
I'll tell you, the honest to God
510
00:15:49,381 --> 00:15:51,817
story out of Trinity Lake when we
511
00:15:51,817 --> 00:15:53,786
we were in there probably late,
512
00:15:53,786 --> 00:15:55,421
maybe mid twenties.
513
00:15:55,421 --> 00:15:57,823
And when I vacation myself,
514
00:15:57,823 --> 00:15:59,591
my two brothers went
515
00:15:59,591 --> 00:16:00,893
and some other friends
516
00:16:00,893 --> 00:16:02,027
and my one of my brothers.
517
00:16:02,027 --> 00:16:03,228
But but this guy
518
00:16:03,228 --> 00:16:04,863
that I didn't really know
519
00:16:04,863 --> 00:16:06,799
kind of didn't really like.
520
00:16:06,799 --> 00:16:07,566
And
521
00:16:09,101 --> 00:16:10,269
and then we said,
522
00:16:10,269 --> 00:16:12,037
all right, well, let's all put, you know,
523
00:16:12,037 --> 00:16:13,372
we put in 50 bucks or whatever.
524
00:16:13,372 --> 00:16:14,039
We're going to town, we'll
525
00:16:14,039 --> 00:16:14,807
get something to eat.
526
00:16:14,807 --> 00:16:15,641
You know, you dumb kid,
527
00:16:15,641 --> 00:16:16,942
you're 20 some odd years old.
528
00:16:16,942 --> 00:16:17,576
You don't know what the
529
00:16:17,576 --> 00:16:19,311
hell you're doing. Right? So
530
00:16:21,981 --> 00:16:22,881
I went
531
00:16:23,315 --> 00:16:25,351
in my van, I took the work van.
532
00:16:25,851 --> 00:16:27,586
I went in the van to go get my wallet.
533
00:16:27,586 --> 00:16:29,655
And this guy was in the back of the van
534
00:16:29,655 --> 00:16:30,789
with my wallet in his hand
535
00:16:30,789 --> 00:16:32,658
and the wallet was open.
536
00:16:32,858 --> 00:16:33,659
Right.
537
00:16:33,692 --> 00:16:35,961
And I turn around the corner
538
00:16:36,161 --> 00:16:36,862
and there he is.
539
00:16:36,862 --> 00:16:37,696
He looks at me
540
00:16:37,696 --> 00:16:38,831
and he's got my wallet in his hand
541
00:16:38,831 --> 00:16:40,132
and wallet is open.
542
00:16:40,132 --> 00:16:41,700
And I, you know, I've got probably four
543
00:16:41,700 --> 00:16:43,268
or $500 in there.
544
00:16:43,268 --> 00:16:44,003
And
545
00:16:45,604 --> 00:16:46,638
he goes, Oh,
546
00:16:46,638 --> 00:16:49,041
I've found this on the floor.
547
00:16:49,041 --> 00:16:51,377
And it's not possible,
548
00:16:51,377 --> 00:16:51,877
you know what I mean?
549
00:16:51,877 --> 00:16:53,746
I know exactly where it was.
550
00:16:53,746 --> 00:16:55,881
And, you know, I felt horrible for him,
551
00:16:56,548 --> 00:16:57,049
you know what I mean?
552
00:16:57,049 --> 00:16:58,450
Because I started thinking
553
00:16:58,450 --> 00:17:00,119
when everybody said, hey,
554
00:17:00,119 --> 00:17:01,520
everybody put in $50,
555
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:02,888
he probably didn't have any money,
556
00:17:02,888 --> 00:17:04,156
you know what I mean?
557
00:17:04,323 --> 00:17:05,958
And I just.
558
00:17:05,958 --> 00:17:07,893
I really felt bad for the guy.
559
00:17:07,893 --> 00:17:09,661
He was in your wallet.
560
00:17:09,661 --> 00:17:11,230
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
561
00:17:11,230 --> 00:17:12,965
I didn't get your wallet.
562
00:17:12,965 --> 00:17:14,533
But it was in my van.
563
00:17:14,533 --> 00:17:16,735
Have a wallet, which is unusual for me.
564
00:17:16,735 --> 00:17:17,703
But I had to back it
565
00:17:17,703 --> 00:17:18,103
because, you know,
566
00:17:18,103 --> 00:17:19,138
you're swimming and everything.
567
00:17:19,138 --> 00:17:21,507
So I had or actually in my case just
568
00:17:22,341 --> 00:17:23,475
flailing in the water
569
00:17:23,475 --> 00:17:24,576
because that way that's women.
570
00:17:24,576 --> 00:17:26,078
Yeah. You're a waiter.
571
00:17:26,078 --> 00:17:28,213
Waiting, hoping that to get needed,
572
00:17:28,213 --> 00:17:29,581
not to get a miserable sunburn,
573
00:17:29,581 --> 00:17:34,219
which I don't get when I'm working.
574
00:17:34,219 --> 00:17:35,487
So. Yeah.
575
00:17:35,487 --> 00:17:38,057
So I honestly, I wasn't mad at him.
576
00:17:38,424 --> 00:17:40,192
I you would think that you would be here.
577
00:17:40,192 --> 00:17:41,060
I should be or whatever.
578
00:17:41,060 --> 00:17:43,195
But I kind of feel sorry for the guy, so.
579
00:17:43,962 --> 00:17:44,463
Yeah.
580
00:17:44,463 --> 00:17:44,963
Yeah,
581
00:17:44,963 --> 00:17:45,697
I'm surprised
582
00:17:45,697 --> 00:17:47,066
you just didn't pull directly
583
00:17:47,066 --> 00:17:48,934
into the police station and say this.
584
00:17:48,934 --> 00:17:52,805
This guy's trying to rob me and.
585
00:17:52,805 --> 00:17:53,906
No, but I.
586
00:17:53,906 --> 00:17:56,041
Yeah, you pay for what was interesting.
587
00:17:56,041 --> 00:17:57,576
Well, here's the other thing.
588
00:17:57,576 --> 00:17:58,677
Don't feel too bad.
589
00:17:58,677 --> 00:18:01,080
It's not like I had to spend $10,000
590
00:18:01,747 --> 00:18:03,015
this this house
591
00:18:03,015 --> 00:18:04,016
I was talking about that
592
00:18:04,016 --> 00:18:05,084
we went to in the Cape
593
00:18:06,819 --> 00:18:08,454
we rented from a friend
594
00:18:08,454 --> 00:18:09,955
of a really good friend.
595
00:18:09,955 --> 00:18:13,025
So, you know, we got it at a, you know,
596
00:18:13,025 --> 00:18:15,260
probably a quarter of the cost of what
597
00:18:15,794 --> 00:18:17,062
they should have been charging.
598
00:18:17,062 --> 00:18:19,431
So it was
599
00:18:19,431 --> 00:18:21,834
it was it was it didn't hurt at all.
600
00:18:21,967 --> 00:18:22,935
Seriously.
601
00:18:22,935 --> 00:18:24,036
Did you leave the place
602
00:18:24,036 --> 00:18:26,371
all in a disarray when you left?
603
00:18:26,371 --> 00:18:27,339
God, no.
604
00:18:27,339 --> 00:18:28,140
That you know,
605
00:18:28,140 --> 00:18:30,742
that was the thing that we used to do
606
00:18:30,742 --> 00:18:33,412
before we found that place.
607
00:18:33,412 --> 00:18:33,712
You know,
608
00:18:33,712 --> 00:18:35,147
we had rented some other places
609
00:18:35,147 --> 00:18:36,882
around Cape Cod,
610
00:18:36,882 --> 00:18:40,219
and they were always in better shape.
611
00:18:40,219 --> 00:18:41,320
They were always in better shape
612
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,088
when we left them. When we got there.
613
00:18:43,088 --> 00:18:43,522
Mm.
614
00:18:43,522 --> 00:18:44,890
Like, like one day we,
615
00:18:44,890 --> 00:18:45,891
we got to this place
616
00:18:45,891 --> 00:18:47,192
in the kitchen chairs were,
617
00:18:47,192 --> 00:18:48,360
you know, when you rent in a house
618
00:18:48,360 --> 00:18:49,728
you never know what you're going to get.
619
00:18:49,728 --> 00:18:51,964
Kitchen chairs are all crappy. And
620
00:18:52,931 --> 00:18:53,765
so
621
00:18:54,533 --> 00:18:57,336
Mom and I and Pauline's cousin Patrick,
622
00:18:58,303 --> 00:18:59,905
we went to town on these kitchen
623
00:18:59,905 --> 00:19:01,673
chairs gluing screw
624
00:19:01,673 --> 00:19:03,375
and we repaired everything in the place.
625
00:19:03,375 --> 00:19:05,511
They were solid as a rock, so.
626
00:19:05,511 --> 00:19:07,079
No, we were.
627
00:19:07,079 --> 00:19:09,314
You wanted you wanted me to rent from you
628
00:19:09,314 --> 00:19:11,049
because the place is going to be better.
629
00:19:11,049 --> 00:19:11,750
Okay?
630
00:19:11,750 --> 00:19:13,118
I've heard so many horror stories
631
00:19:13,118 --> 00:19:14,386
where people would rent out
632
00:19:14,386 --> 00:19:14,820
their B
633
00:19:14,820 --> 00:19:15,454
and B place
634
00:19:15,454 --> 00:19:17,222
to people that they know,
635
00:19:17,222 --> 00:19:19,124
and they just got trashed.
636
00:19:19,124 --> 00:19:20,759
And after doing them a favor.
637
00:19:20,759 --> 00:19:23,162
But you know something?
638
00:19:23,595 --> 00:19:26,298
I don't do B and B's for one reason.
639
00:19:26,298 --> 00:19:28,800
And because you don't go on vacations.
640
00:19:29,067 --> 00:19:30,536
Well, that's two reasons.
641
00:19:30,536 --> 00:19:33,772
And but I was working in
642
00:19:34,306 --> 00:19:40,846
in one of our rep's territory.
643
00:19:40,846 --> 00:19:43,582
This guy's name, that another name
644
00:19:43,582 --> 00:19:44,349
I need to know.
645
00:19:44,349 --> 00:19:46,351
This guy, he's not with us anymore.
646
00:19:46,351 --> 00:19:48,987
But he said he said, you know what,
647
00:19:49,555 --> 00:19:50,622
you don't need to get a hotel.
648
00:19:51,757 --> 00:19:53,358
Stay the night in my house.
649
00:19:53,358 --> 00:19:55,027
My wife's a great cook.
650
00:19:55,027 --> 00:19:56,161
Nice person.
651
00:19:56,161 --> 00:19:56,695
Love to have
652
00:19:56,695 --> 00:19:59,731
you meet my kids and everything.
653
00:19:59,731 --> 00:20:01,099
And
654
00:20:01,433 --> 00:20:02,868
I said no.
655
00:20:03,202 --> 00:20:05,204
Now the reason I said no
656
00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:06,939
is the same reason I don't I don't
657
00:20:06,939 --> 00:20:09,841
I don't rent Airbnb keys.
658
00:20:09,841 --> 00:20:11,043
With all this technology today,
659
00:20:11,043 --> 00:20:13,412
you could have a camera watching me,
660
00:20:13,412 --> 00:20:14,479
you know what I mean?
661
00:20:14,479 --> 00:20:14,980
You could have a.
662
00:20:14,980 --> 00:20:17,082
That's your reason. Yes.
663
00:20:17,516 --> 00:20:18,150
You
664
00:20:18,483 --> 00:20:20,085
you think somebody wants to watch
665
00:20:20,085 --> 00:20:20,986
you change?
666
00:20:20,986 --> 00:20:24,189
Well, you know, I mean, yes.
667
00:20:24,790 --> 00:20:26,158
You never know.
668
00:20:26,158 --> 00:20:27,826
You never know.
669
00:20:27,826 --> 00:20:28,961
So you just I mean.
670
00:20:28,961 --> 00:20:31,129
There's 1 million reasons.
671
00:20:32,030 --> 00:20:34,299
It's just a 1 million reasons.
672
00:20:35,234 --> 00:20:36,501
That would be the last one
673
00:20:36,501 --> 00:20:37,803
I would ever think, oh, god,
674
00:20:37,803 --> 00:20:38,804
somebody is going to take me
675
00:20:38,804 --> 00:20:40,472
when I'm in the bathroom.
676
00:20:40,472 --> 00:20:42,140
It happens to people.
677
00:20:42,140 --> 00:20:43,342
I don't want to be on YouTube
678
00:20:43,342 --> 00:20:43,742
one day
679
00:20:43,742 --> 00:20:45,811
or wake up one day on Twitter
680
00:20:45,811 --> 00:20:47,312
or one of these other social media
681
00:20:47,312 --> 00:20:49,014
things that are out there
682
00:20:49,014 --> 00:20:51,516
and see me with a towel walking
683
00:20:51,516 --> 00:20:54,853
out of the shower.
684
00:20:54,853 --> 00:20:56,255
And then he would always have that.
685
00:20:56,255 --> 00:20:57,356
Then he'd go, Hey, when I like,
686
00:20:57,356 --> 00:20:58,624
go on vacation, he yeah.
687
00:20:58,624 --> 00:21:00,025
We can't really let you go on vacation.
688
00:21:00,025 --> 00:21:02,361
Well there's this sure. Take,
689
00:21:03,362 --> 00:21:04,563
you take a month.
690
00:21:04,563 --> 00:21:06,198
Who thinks like that.
691
00:21:06,198 --> 00:21:07,266
The winters.
692
00:21:07,266 --> 00:21:08,967
Who thinks like that.
693
00:21:08,967 --> 00:21:11,937
The winters.
694
00:21:11,937 --> 00:21:12,437
That's it.
695
00:21:12,437 --> 00:21:14,306
Every time I go anywhere now I'm right.
696
00:21:14,306 --> 00:21:16,141
I'm going to walk around balk man.
697
00:21:16,141 --> 00:21:17,209
Go ahead, put me on.
698
00:21:17,209 --> 00:21:19,945
What do you remember the ESPN lady?
699
00:21:19,945 --> 00:21:22,147
That was that hotel and.
700
00:21:22,447 --> 00:21:23,582
Yes, yeah.
701
00:21:23,582 --> 00:21:25,784
Okay. Yeah. Oh, my God. Yeah.
702
00:21:25,784 --> 00:21:26,518
She got. What?
703
00:21:26,518 --> 00:21:28,754
And she got a nightmare for her.
704
00:21:28,754 --> 00:21:30,022
That turned out to be.
705
00:21:30,022 --> 00:21:31,990
I don't think so.
706
00:21:31,990 --> 00:21:33,992
No, I don't think so at all.
707
00:21:33,992 --> 00:21:37,262
One, she got a fortune for that.
708
00:21:37,262 --> 00:21:38,864
She sued the hotel and she she got
709
00:21:38,864 --> 00:21:40,599
I mean, millions and millions of dollars,
710
00:21:40,599 --> 00:21:41,833
which in that case, it would be cool.
711
00:21:41,833 --> 00:21:43,101
I would do that.
712
00:21:43,101 --> 00:21:45,270
It'd be worth it for that.
713
00:21:45,304 --> 00:21:46,605
And. Well, yeah.
714
00:21:46,605 --> 00:21:48,240
So I mean, obviously it's messed up.
715
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:49,074
They shouldn't have done that.
716
00:21:49,074 --> 00:21:50,075
It's a horrible thing.
717
00:21:50,075 --> 00:21:52,210
It's a complete invasion of privacy.
718
00:21:53,345 --> 00:21:54,780
But so yeah, you
719
00:21:54,780 --> 00:21:58,617
got to, you know, there you go.
720
00:21:58,617 --> 00:21:59,851
All right.
721
00:21:59,918 --> 00:22:00,485
All right.
722
00:22:00,485 --> 00:22:02,254
Let's keep going here.
723
00:22:02,254 --> 00:22:02,554
All right.
724
00:22:02,554 --> 00:22:04,323
Number three,
725
00:22:04,456 --> 00:22:06,992
the greater well-being.
726
00:22:06,992 --> 00:22:10,595
So people would take a vacation.
727
00:22:11,463 --> 00:22:13,799
And I look this up,
728
00:22:13,799 --> 00:22:16,168
they score on the I'm going to read
729
00:22:16,368 --> 00:22:20,572
the Gallup Heath Way Well-Being index.
730
00:22:22,174 --> 00:22:25,377
People who take vacations, they score 68
731
00:22:26,011 --> 00:22:27,879
people who don't take vacations,
732
00:22:27,879 --> 00:22:29,948
score 51.
733
00:22:29,948 --> 00:22:30,749
So I'm going to say that
734
00:22:30,749 --> 00:22:32,250
one more time, please.
735
00:22:32,250 --> 00:22:35,854
Gallup heath way well-being index.
736
00:22:36,521 --> 00:22:38,657
I have looked everywhere to try to
737
00:22:39,191 --> 00:22:40,225
take this test.
738
00:22:40,225 --> 00:22:42,861
I want to see where I'm at.
739
00:22:43,862 --> 00:22:44,596
The Gallup
740
00:22:44,596 --> 00:22:47,866
heath way well-being.
741
00:22:47,866 --> 00:22:49,167
You're writing that down.
742
00:22:49,167 --> 00:22:52,437
That poll brought to you by Hilton.
743
00:22:52,437 --> 00:22:53,071
Hotel.
744
00:22:53,205 --> 00:22:54,940
Hotel chain.
745
00:22:57,075 --> 00:22:57,609
It's.
746
00:22:59,711 --> 00:23:01,480
I don't know about that, man.
747
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,181
Oh, I want you to take that.
748
00:23:03,181 --> 00:23:04,082
You know what?
749
00:23:04,082 --> 00:23:05,751
We got to find it,
750
00:23:05,751 --> 00:23:07,719
and you and I both have to take it.
751
00:23:07,719 --> 00:23:08,286
I would
752
00:23:08,286 --> 00:23:09,621
I would gladly take that
753
00:23:09,621 --> 00:23:11,456
because I maintain
754
00:23:11,456 --> 00:23:12,758
I like my little
755
00:23:12,758 --> 00:23:14,393
I give me a day fish on a weekend.
756
00:23:14,393 --> 00:23:15,260
I'm happy.
757
00:23:15,260 --> 00:23:16,194
I really doesn't take much
758
00:23:16,194 --> 00:23:16,862
to make me happy.
759
00:23:16,862 --> 00:23:18,363
I love what I do. I love working.
760
00:23:18,363 --> 00:23:20,665
I really, truly do. I love the job.
761
00:23:20,665 --> 00:23:22,234
I love the challenge, I love the job.
762
00:23:22,234 --> 00:23:25,270
I so I don't need a lot of vacation time.
763
00:23:25,570 --> 00:23:27,172
I need sometimes like a
764
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:29,908
little downtime to recover.
765
00:23:29,908 --> 00:23:31,243
And then even that
766
00:23:31,243 --> 00:23:32,644
I enjoy, I start thinking,
767
00:23:32,644 --> 00:23:34,246
all right, what do I got to do?
768
00:23:34,246 --> 00:23:35,547
And then that I get
769
00:23:35,547 --> 00:23:37,249
I get geared up and I go
770
00:23:37,249 --> 00:23:39,551
and and Judy lets me do it
771
00:23:39,851 --> 00:23:42,587
and which is heaven for me, you know,
772
00:23:42,587 --> 00:23:43,922
that's my passion, whatever.
773
00:23:43,922 --> 00:23:45,524
So I don't,
774
00:23:45,524 --> 00:23:46,491
I don't really need
775
00:23:46,491 --> 00:23:48,226
a lot of vacation time.
776
00:23:48,226 --> 00:23:49,561
I really don't.
777
00:23:49,661 --> 00:23:52,264
Now, when we did that episode on stress.
778
00:23:52,664 --> 00:23:53,398
Mm hmm.
779
00:23:54,533 --> 00:23:55,767
What's your problem?
780
00:23:55,767 --> 00:23:58,036
I was.
781
00:23:58,036 --> 00:23:58,804
I was wondering
782
00:23:58,804 --> 00:24:00,238
where you were going to go with fishing.
783
00:24:00,238 --> 00:24:01,106
I thought you were going to say,
784
00:24:01,106 --> 00:24:03,708
Oh, fishing. That's my
785
00:24:03,708 --> 00:24:05,210
that's my stress free zone.
786
00:24:05,210 --> 00:24:07,379
When I'm fishing. Absolutely not.
787
00:24:08,013 --> 00:24:09,214
You're a competitive guy.
788
00:24:09,214 --> 00:24:12,350
So I think straight fishing just.
789
00:24:12,350 --> 00:24:13,151
Yeah.
790
00:24:13,151 --> 00:24:14,886
Hey, you know, the other thing?
791
00:24:14,886 --> 00:24:17,489
I've known you for a while.
792
00:24:17,489 --> 00:24:19,090
Some people embrace stress.
793
00:24:20,625 --> 00:24:22,561
I think you're one of those.
794
00:24:22,561 --> 00:24:25,163
But I think you could be a carrier.
795
00:24:25,297 --> 00:24:27,466
You're a carrier. I could be.
796
00:24:27,499 --> 00:24:29,434
I am fishing.
797
00:24:29,434 --> 00:24:30,869
Not in a bad way.
798
00:24:30,869 --> 00:24:35,941
Yeah, I told you that game fish
799
00:24:35,941 --> 00:24:36,341
with that.
800
00:24:36,341 --> 00:24:38,743
We can't fish in the same boat anymore.
801
00:24:38,743 --> 00:24:42,380
Years ago, we went.
802
00:24:42,547 --> 00:24:43,248
We went fishing
803
00:24:43,248 --> 00:24:44,616
and I told him
804
00:24:44,616 --> 00:24:46,852
in the nicest way possible.
805
00:24:46,852 --> 00:24:49,888
I said, Paul,
806
00:24:49,888 --> 00:24:50,822
my cousin is going to go
807
00:24:50,822 --> 00:24:52,290
with us on this trip.
808
00:24:52,290 --> 00:24:52,691
Okay.
809
00:24:52,691 --> 00:24:54,926
So he's not really a fisherman,
810
00:24:54,926 --> 00:24:56,161
you know, but Asia is.
811
00:24:56,161 --> 00:24:56,928
I really like him.
812
00:24:56,928 --> 00:24:57,362
He's you know, he's
813
00:24:57,362 --> 00:24:58,497
because he's a good guy.
814
00:24:58,497 --> 00:25:00,031
So, you know,
815
00:25:00,031 --> 00:25:01,032
let's just kind of,
816
00:25:01,032 --> 00:25:03,635
you know, it's just going to be nice.
817
00:25:03,735 --> 00:25:05,070
It's going to be on our best behavior,
818
00:25:05,070 --> 00:25:05,303
you know?
819
00:25:05,303 --> 00:25:05,871
I mean,
820
00:25:05,871 --> 00:25:09,541
you know, on this trip, oh, my God.
821
00:25:09,541 --> 00:25:11,910
First of all, the boat is 20 feet long.
822
00:25:12,210 --> 00:25:13,845
He's no more than 12 inches
823
00:25:13,845 --> 00:25:15,714
apart from me at any given time,
824
00:25:15,714 --> 00:25:17,649
because if there was another four inches
825
00:25:17,649 --> 00:25:18,416
on the front of the boat,
826
00:25:18,416 --> 00:25:20,185
we would both be standing on it
827
00:25:20,185 --> 00:25:22,320
to get the advantage in casting.
828
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,157
And we are I mean, and at one point
829
00:25:26,157 --> 00:25:26,691
my cousin
830
00:25:26,691 --> 00:25:27,225
that I brought,
831
00:25:27,225 --> 00:25:28,093
he put his pole down,
832
00:25:28,093 --> 00:25:30,529
he just started laughing his ass off
833
00:25:30,529 --> 00:25:31,596
and he goes,
834
00:25:31,596 --> 00:25:32,797
I've never seen anything like this
835
00:25:32,797 --> 00:25:33,865
in my life.
836
00:25:33,865 --> 00:25:35,166
This is like a no kind of fishing
837
00:25:35,166 --> 00:25:36,468
I've ever seen before, man.
838
00:25:36,468 --> 00:25:37,669
I thought we were going to go out,
839
00:25:37,669 --> 00:25:38,937
have a nice time.
840
00:25:38,937 --> 00:25:41,172
You know, the waves rocking the boat
841
00:25:41,172 --> 00:25:42,007
a little bit, maybe.
842
00:25:42,007 --> 00:25:43,174
You know, we have the sandwich
843
00:25:43,174 --> 00:25:44,743
in, you know, in the sun and everything.
844
00:25:44,743 --> 00:25:47,078
You guys are out of control, man.
845
00:25:47,078 --> 00:25:47,612
He goes,
846
00:25:47,612 --> 00:25:49,848
You guys do this every time you go.
847
00:25:49,848 --> 00:25:51,883
We looked at it like in shame,
848
00:25:51,883 --> 00:25:53,018
you know what I mean?
849
00:25:53,018 --> 00:25:54,619
Like, he called us both out.
850
00:25:55,987 --> 00:25:57,455
Then we continued to fish.
851
00:25:57,455 --> 00:25:59,858
So to the point where
852
00:26:00,025 --> 00:26:03,662
we we put the boat in the water,
853
00:26:03,662 --> 00:26:03,995
I don't know.
854
00:26:03,995 --> 00:26:06,131
Around four in the afternoon
855
00:26:06,131 --> 00:26:08,133
we fish now start now.
856
00:26:08,133 --> 00:26:09,267
It's like two in the morning.
857
00:26:09,267 --> 00:26:10,702
Okay, we're still fishing.
858
00:26:10,702 --> 00:26:12,237
I take that back. I'm still fishing.
859
00:26:12,237 --> 00:26:13,638
The other two fell asleep.
860
00:26:13,638 --> 00:26:15,073
We hadn't done anything right.
861
00:26:15,073 --> 00:26:17,042
But I'm not going to take this downtime.
862
00:26:17,042 --> 00:26:17,776
I'm going to, you know,
863
00:26:17,776 --> 00:26:19,578
I got to keep fishing.
864
00:26:19,711 --> 00:26:21,212
So I caught one to
865
00:26:21,212 --> 00:26:22,847
put the beautiful three or four pounder
866
00:26:22,847 --> 00:26:24,115
I can't remember. Doesn't matter.
867
00:26:24,115 --> 00:26:25,850
And I flipped it right into Paul's lap
868
00:26:25,850 --> 00:26:27,152
while he was sleeping.
869
00:26:27,152 --> 00:26:30,055
And I go and I go, Yes, yes.
870
00:26:30,355 --> 00:26:35,660
You slept, you loser.
871
00:26:35,660 --> 00:26:36,328
Like my
872
00:26:36,328 --> 00:26:40,065
cousin never went with this anymore.
873
00:26:40,065 --> 00:26:41,132
I have a nickname
874
00:26:42,100 --> 00:26:43,802
when I'm fishing with.
875
00:26:43,802 --> 00:26:44,669
When we used to fish
876
00:26:44,669 --> 00:26:45,437
with Patrick,
877
00:26:45,437 --> 00:26:49,174
Peter and my son, I had a nickname.
878
00:26:49,174 --> 00:26:51,710
They called me Angry Bob.
879
00:26:51,710 --> 00:26:52,677
Matter of fact, they even.
880
00:26:52,677 --> 00:26:54,779
I'll show you a picture of a they.
881
00:26:54,779 --> 00:26:56,047
They made a little bobber
882
00:26:56,047 --> 00:26:57,916
with an angry face and gave it to me
883
00:26:57,916 --> 00:26:58,984
one time
884
00:27:00,085 --> 00:27:03,655
and got a spear, looked at me one day
885
00:27:04,189 --> 00:27:05,690
and he goes, You know,
886
00:27:05,690 --> 00:27:08,159
nobody wants to fish with angry Bob.
887
00:27:08,159 --> 00:27:09,661
Wow. You know.
888
00:27:09,928 --> 00:27:11,496
What are you angry about?
889
00:27:11,496 --> 00:27:13,098
Oh, I just used to get pissed
890
00:27:13,098 --> 00:27:15,634
if they weren't, you know, fishing or
891
00:27:16,568 --> 00:27:19,804
fighting, they weren't biting, you know?
892
00:27:19,804 --> 00:27:20,138
And I
893
00:27:20,138 --> 00:27:22,173
it was my boat, so,
894
00:27:22,173 --> 00:27:22,440
you know,
895
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,275
I wanted to go where I wanted to go.
896
00:27:24,275 --> 00:27:24,943
And,
897
00:27:26,277 --> 00:27:27,512
you know, I got the
898
00:27:27,512 --> 00:27:28,980
I got the fish finder.
899
00:27:28,980 --> 00:27:29,681
And I used
900
00:27:29,681 --> 00:27:31,349
they just used to laugh like hell
901
00:27:31,349 --> 00:27:32,550
because they'd be
902
00:27:32,550 --> 00:27:34,386
constantly looking at that fish finder,
903
00:27:34,386 --> 00:27:35,654
you know, there, there, there, there.
904
00:27:35,654 --> 00:27:36,321
And, and
905
00:27:37,355 --> 00:27:39,157
so yeah, I used to.
906
00:27:39,157 --> 00:27:40,925
Yeah, it was just
907
00:27:40,925 --> 00:27:43,061
I loved it, but it was yeah.
908
00:27:43,728 --> 00:27:44,596
Stressful.
909
00:27:45,096 --> 00:27:46,197
Well, here's the other thing.
910
00:27:46,197 --> 00:27:47,198
You know, it was I tell you
911
00:27:47,198 --> 00:27:49,100
what else was stressful
912
00:27:49,100 --> 00:27:51,136
was fishing with Bum.
913
00:27:51,603 --> 00:27:52,237
There was one day
914
00:27:52,237 --> 00:27:53,204
him and I were in the boat,
915
00:27:53,204 --> 00:27:55,640
just him and I he's catching.
916
00:27:56,207 --> 00:27:57,142
He's hung over.
917
00:27:57,142 --> 00:28:00,011
I mean, I don't think he went to bed.
918
00:28:00,011 --> 00:28:00,812
I picked him up
919
00:28:00,812 --> 00:28:03,715
and I'm pretty sure he never went to bed.
920
00:28:03,715 --> 00:28:04,649
So he's in.
921
00:28:04,649 --> 00:28:07,252
Ruff, ruff, ruff shape
922
00:28:07,252 --> 00:28:09,821
and we're flipping docks
923
00:28:09,821 --> 00:28:12,157
and I'm doing exactly what he's doing.
924
00:28:12,157 --> 00:28:13,458
I'm using the same kind of stuff.
925
00:28:13,458 --> 00:28:17,062
He's he's catching I'm getting nothing.
926
00:28:17,562 --> 00:28:18,096
Yeah.
927
00:28:18,830 --> 00:28:19,564
So, you know,
928
00:28:19,564 --> 00:28:21,099
this is going on for a while
929
00:28:21,099 --> 00:28:24,302
and now the sun starts to hit him and he
930
00:28:24,302 --> 00:28:24,602
goes, I'm
931
00:28:24,602 --> 00:28:26,705
just going to shut my eyes for a second,
932
00:28:26,705 --> 00:28:28,139
you know? Yeah.
933
00:28:28,139 --> 00:28:29,407
And now we're,
934
00:28:29,407 --> 00:28:31,910
we're throwing stuff on top of lily pads
935
00:28:31,910 --> 00:28:32,544
and we're in a different
936
00:28:32,544 --> 00:28:33,211
part of the lake,
937
00:28:33,211 --> 00:28:34,112
and we're on top of the lily
938
00:28:34,112 --> 00:28:36,514
pad and stuff, and he's nailing them.
939
00:28:36,514 --> 00:28:37,916
Still nothing.
940
00:28:37,916 --> 00:28:39,384
So he goes to sleep and I go,
941
00:28:40,518 --> 00:28:43,021
I take his pole.
942
00:28:43,388 --> 00:28:44,856
Yeah.
943
00:28:44,856 --> 00:28:47,025
With the exact same thing he's using.
944
00:28:47,492 --> 00:28:52,263
I'm doing exactly what he was doing.
945
00:28:52,263 --> 00:28:54,065
Nothing, nothing, nothing.
946
00:28:54,065 --> 00:28:56,868
Meanwhile, he's watching me, right?
947
00:28:56,868 --> 00:28:58,837
I thought he was sleeping. Yeah.
948
00:28:58,837 --> 00:29:00,538
And then, like, under his breath,
949
00:29:00,538 --> 00:29:01,673
he's like,
950
00:29:01,673 --> 00:29:02,807
My pole is not working for you
951
00:29:02,807 --> 00:29:03,541
either, huh?
952
00:29:03,541 --> 00:29:05,677
And then he gets up.
953
00:29:05,677 --> 00:29:07,011
I swear, he does, like,
954
00:29:07,011 --> 00:29:08,313
you know, three tosses
955
00:29:08,313 --> 00:29:09,214
and gets another one.
956
00:29:09,214 --> 00:29:11,316
I'm like, this is just,
957
00:29:11,316 --> 00:29:11,916
I don't know,
958
00:29:11,916 --> 00:29:13,184
sometimes the fishing guys
959
00:29:13,184 --> 00:29:15,420
just don't look well down on me.
960
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,522
So no fishing? No.
961
00:29:17,522 --> 00:29:19,224
Yeah, I love fishing.
962
00:29:19,224 --> 00:29:20,058
I would actually, like,
963
00:29:20,058 --> 00:29:21,526
go fishing with you one day.
964
00:29:21,526 --> 00:29:22,460
I really would.
965
00:29:22,460 --> 00:29:25,396
We we had but then out of bucket list.
966
00:29:25,396 --> 00:29:26,564
Yeah I would.
967
00:29:26,564 --> 00:29:28,600
I think we could have some laughs.
968
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,535
Yeah I know we would.
969
00:29:30,535 --> 00:29:32,637
But like two years ago
970
00:29:33,171 --> 00:29:35,240
my grandson was in efficient contests
971
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:36,541
for a school,
972
00:29:36,708 --> 00:29:37,242
so I said, Well,
973
00:29:37,242 --> 00:29:37,776
let's just go
974
00:29:37,776 --> 00:29:39,444
down to the little lake in town.
975
00:29:39,444 --> 00:29:40,812
Everybody fishes off of the.
976
00:29:42,413 --> 00:29:44,249
So I'm, you know,
977
00:29:44,249 --> 00:29:44,783
teaching my
978
00:29:44,783 --> 00:29:47,819
grandson how to fish bums with his kids,
979
00:29:47,819 --> 00:29:50,321
you know, are all the grandsons are there
980
00:29:51,322 --> 00:29:53,458
from the from the shore.
981
00:29:54,826 --> 00:29:56,628
He catches a four pounder.
982
00:29:56,628 --> 00:29:57,462
Wow.
983
00:29:57,662 --> 00:29:59,597
And I was like, how the
984
00:29:59,697 --> 00:30:02,033
I was right there how did it not you know
985
00:30:03,301 --> 00:30:03,868
I don't know.
986
00:30:03,868 --> 00:30:05,470
Some people have it.
987
00:30:05,470 --> 00:30:07,105
Yeah well sometimes it's
988
00:30:07,105 --> 00:30:08,273
just your day too.
989
00:30:08,273 --> 00:30:10,475
So there's that.
990
00:30:11,009 --> 00:30:11,810
Here's the other thing
991
00:30:11,810 --> 00:30:13,778
about taking time off.
992
00:30:13,778 --> 00:30:16,981
So you got a 3000 square foot job to do
993
00:30:16,981 --> 00:30:18,116
and it's it is cut up
994
00:30:18,116 --> 00:30:18,783
and there's stairs
995
00:30:18,783 --> 00:30:20,051
and there's a lot of hand scraping
996
00:30:20,051 --> 00:30:22,020
and whatever that are going on.
997
00:30:22,020 --> 00:30:24,489
And when your work takes takes day off,
998
00:30:25,423 --> 00:30:27,358
like I look at him
999
00:30:27,358 --> 00:30:29,260
like he's abandoned his post.
1000
00:30:29,260 --> 00:30:29,861
You know what I mean?
1001
00:30:31,729 --> 00:30:32,063
And the
1002
00:30:32,063 --> 00:30:33,565
every day that I'm hand scraping, I'm
1003
00:30:33,565 --> 00:30:34,899
thinking about him.
1004
00:30:34,899 --> 00:30:36,000
It could have been you're helping us.
1005
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:36,301
But he
1006
00:30:36,301 --> 00:30:37,502
selfishly took time off
1007
00:30:37,502 --> 00:30:39,337
to be with his family.
1008
00:30:40,505 --> 00:30:40,772
Is
1009
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:43,575
why do you have to go to the funeral?
1010
00:30:43,575 --> 00:30:45,410
You're not going to bring him back?
1011
00:30:45,410 --> 00:30:50,715
Yeah, exactly.
1012
00:30:50,715 --> 00:30:52,083
I think the weeks that they do
1013
00:30:52,083 --> 00:30:53,818
wakes at night, go to the wake at night.
1014
00:30:53,818 --> 00:30:55,854
Yes. And the other day.
1015
00:30:55,854 --> 00:30:57,455
Yeah. Come on.
1016
00:30:57,455 --> 00:30:58,723
Killing us.
1017
00:30:58,823 --> 00:31:01,659
So remember everybody, that is the Gallup
1018
00:31:02,727 --> 00:31:06,331
data heat waves well-being index.
1019
00:31:07,031 --> 00:31:08,700
I'm going to find it.
1020
00:31:08,700 --> 00:31:09,968
I'm going to send you one.
1021
00:31:09,968 --> 00:31:10,835
I want to take one.
1022
00:31:10,835 --> 00:31:12,103
I just want to know what our scores
1023
00:31:12,103 --> 00:31:12,737
are going to be.
1024
00:31:12,737 --> 00:31:13,238
Oh, I'm
1025
00:31:13,238 --> 00:31:14,005
not that not
1026
00:31:14,005 --> 00:31:15,273
that one is going to be better
1027
00:31:15,273 --> 00:31:16,307
than the other.
1028
00:31:16,307 --> 00:31:16,741
Yeah.
1029
00:31:16,741 --> 00:31:18,843
No, of course.
1030
00:31:18,843 --> 00:31:20,411
You know, everything is a competition
1031
00:31:20,411 --> 00:31:21,079
you talking about.
1032
00:31:22,914 --> 00:31:23,248
All right.
1033
00:31:23,248 --> 00:31:23,581
Rob.
1034
00:31:23,581 --> 00:31:24,649
So we we
1035
00:31:24,649 --> 00:31:26,651
we took a poll of some
1036
00:31:26,651 --> 00:31:27,852
super good contractor
1037
00:31:27,852 --> 00:31:29,921
ers and the same contractors
1038
00:31:29,921 --> 00:31:31,823
that were kind enough to work with this
1039
00:31:31,823 --> 00:31:33,591
or answer our questions on the,
1040
00:31:33,591 --> 00:31:35,793
the podcast we did on pressure.
1041
00:31:35,793 --> 00:31:37,528
And so I'm just going to name
1042
00:31:37,528 --> 00:31:38,329
some of these guys
1043
00:31:38,329 --> 00:31:39,130
that that were
1044
00:31:39,130 --> 00:31:40,231
we spoke with
1045
00:31:40,231 --> 00:31:43,001
with is Adam busy floors by the shore
1046
00:31:43,001 --> 00:31:43,668
Dan Gorse
1047
00:31:43,668 --> 00:31:45,670
and Jeremy Gorse and your brothers.
1048
00:31:45,670 --> 00:31:47,305
Bill Powell.
1049
00:31:47,305 --> 00:31:49,140
Bill Power pal hardwood floors.
1050
00:31:49,140 --> 00:31:50,642
Cesar Cardona.
1051
00:31:50,642 --> 00:31:53,144
Record owner hardwood floors.
1052
00:31:53,144 --> 00:31:54,345
Real antique wood floors.
1053
00:31:54,345 --> 00:31:55,780
Gary Horvath
1054
00:31:55,980 --> 00:31:57,916
and David Everly
1055
00:31:57,916 --> 00:32:00,151
with Everly Hardwood floors.
1056
00:32:00,151 --> 00:32:01,552
And I mean, that's a
1057
00:32:01,552 --> 00:32:02,520
who's who right there
1058
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,022
as an all star team.
1059
00:32:04,022 --> 00:32:04,722
So let's
1060
00:32:04,722 --> 00:32:04,956
go ahead
1061
00:32:04,956 --> 00:32:07,592
and listen to what they had to say.
1062
00:32:07,592 --> 00:32:10,061
For me, we didn't really take vacations.
1063
00:32:10,061 --> 00:32:13,231
We were we were pretty much gung
1064
00:32:13,231 --> 00:32:14,532
ho the whole time,
1065
00:32:14,532 --> 00:32:16,334
you know, balls to the walls all the
1066
00:32:16,334 --> 00:32:17,101
time, just work.
1067
00:32:19,037 --> 00:32:19,804
And then
1068
00:32:19,904 --> 00:32:20,505
because I felt
1069
00:32:20,505 --> 00:32:21,606
guilty that
1070
00:32:21,606 --> 00:32:22,807
I would be off,
1071
00:32:22,807 --> 00:32:24,309
the guys would be working.
1072
00:32:24,309 --> 00:32:27,578
And then when it came
1073
00:32:27,578 --> 00:32:29,380
that the cost,
1074
00:32:29,380 --> 00:32:32,517
the customer or the guys would call me.
1075
00:32:32,517 --> 00:32:34,352
So I'm on vacation,
1076
00:32:34,352 --> 00:32:36,321
I'm straight, I'll work it now.
1077
00:32:36,321 --> 00:32:38,122
I'm on the phone anyway, so
1078
00:32:38,122 --> 00:32:40,825
I would like to schedule the time
1079
00:32:41,225 --> 00:32:43,995
that I did have off
1080
00:32:43,995 --> 00:32:46,164
around long holidays in between
1081
00:32:46,164 --> 00:32:47,365
special times,
1082
00:32:47,365 --> 00:32:48,633
and then know that
1083
00:32:48,633 --> 00:32:49,834
if I could send them on a job
1084
00:32:49,834 --> 00:32:50,935
that didn't require
1085
00:32:50,935 --> 00:32:53,972
any homeowner participation,
1086
00:32:54,272 --> 00:32:55,807
it made it a little easier.
1087
00:32:55,807 --> 00:32:58,209
But that was that was it for me.
1088
00:32:58,676 --> 00:32:59,510
It's a different life
1089
00:32:59,510 --> 00:33:01,746
now, but for my guys now, it's
1090
00:33:02,313 --> 00:33:03,982
they're allowed to take vacation.
1091
00:33:03,982 --> 00:33:06,150
I allow them to have that opportunity
1092
00:33:06,451 --> 00:33:07,051
to tell me
1093
00:33:07,051 --> 00:33:08,453
when they're going to want a vacation.
1094
00:33:08,453 --> 00:33:09,587
I like it.
1095
00:33:09,587 --> 00:33:12,123
Let's say get at least a month's notice.
1096
00:33:12,390 --> 00:33:14,492
At least that gives me an opportunity
1097
00:33:14,492 --> 00:33:15,593
to schedule around
1098
00:33:15,593 --> 00:33:16,260
which jobs
1099
00:33:16,260 --> 00:33:16,995
we're going to do, for
1100
00:33:16,995 --> 00:33:20,164
which guy that I may have their needs.
1101
00:33:20,164 --> 00:33:21,699
And if the customers can wait,
1102
00:33:21,699 --> 00:33:23,601
which they usually do, they'll wait.
1103
00:33:23,601 --> 00:33:24,736
But I'll you know,
1104
00:33:24,736 --> 00:33:26,204
I'm okay with the guys
1105
00:33:26,204 --> 00:33:28,272
taking off on vacation
1106
00:33:28,639 --> 00:33:30,241
and I'm not happy
1107
00:33:30,241 --> 00:33:32,310
when they miss after a holiday.
1108
00:33:32,310 --> 00:33:33,378
Yeah, you know, that
1109
00:33:33,378 --> 00:33:34,746
kind of gets under my coat
1110
00:33:34,746 --> 00:33:36,114
that I've paid them for the holiday
1111
00:33:36,114 --> 00:33:37,582
they take the next day.
1112
00:33:37,582 --> 00:33:39,250
That is the, the part
1113
00:33:39,250 --> 00:33:40,451
that we have a little bit of
1114
00:33:42,353 --> 00:33:43,488
resistance on because I
1115
00:33:43,488 --> 00:33:44,389
tell them this way, you know,
1116
00:33:44,389 --> 00:33:45,723
I can't pay you for the holiday
1117
00:33:45,723 --> 00:33:47,959
because you took the next day off. Yeah.
1118
00:33:48,026 --> 00:33:51,029
And sometimes it's hard
1119
00:33:51,029 --> 00:33:53,364
with certain people that they don't get
1120
00:33:53,364 --> 00:33:54,465
that makes sense, you know.
1121
00:33:54,465 --> 00:33:56,334
So what do you do about vacation?
1122
00:33:56,334 --> 00:33:57,535
You said obligation yourself.
1123
00:33:57,535 --> 00:33:58,202
Take a lot.
1124
00:33:58,202 --> 00:33:58,803
Do you really?
1125
00:33:58,803 --> 00:33:59,303
I try.
1126
00:33:59,303 --> 00:34:01,472
I do try my I do try.
1127
00:34:01,472 --> 00:34:02,340
And it's tough.
1128
00:34:02,340 --> 00:34:03,541
You know, I'm fortunate
1129
00:34:03,541 --> 00:34:06,477
because my father and I are partners.
1130
00:34:07,045 --> 00:34:09,113
So I can
1131
00:34:09,113 --> 00:34:12,383
you know, he can he can hold the ball.
1132
00:34:13,051 --> 00:34:15,386
And I do the same for him.
1133
00:34:15,386 --> 00:34:15,720
You know,
1134
00:34:15,720 --> 00:34:17,622
he's he's kind of stepped back
1135
00:34:17,622 --> 00:34:19,123
as far as
1136
00:34:19,157 --> 00:34:19,891
doing anything
1137
00:34:19,891 --> 00:34:21,592
like running the business wise.
1138
00:34:21,592 --> 00:34:22,894
He's just
1139
00:34:22,894 --> 00:34:25,463
in the field, wants to just work and,
1140
00:34:25,730 --> 00:34:27,598
you know, take care of things.
1141
00:34:27,598 --> 00:34:29,133
So, you know,
1142
00:34:29,133 --> 00:34:29,600
I can
1143
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:30,601
I can go away
1144
00:34:30,601 --> 00:34:32,537
and have a nice kind of peak.
1145
00:34:32,537 --> 00:34:33,971
My phone never stops.
1146
00:34:33,971 --> 00:34:34,605
But yeah,
1147
00:34:34,839 --> 00:34:36,274
it don't matter where, you know, it
1148
00:34:36,274 --> 00:34:37,341
don't matter.
1149
00:34:37,341 --> 00:34:38,576
I'm on vacation or not.
1150
00:34:38,576 --> 00:34:40,511
The phone goes with me and you,
1151
00:34:40,511 --> 00:34:42,346
but it comes with the territory,
1152
00:34:42,346 --> 00:34:42,713
you know.
1153
00:34:42,713 --> 00:34:44,816
But it's it's one of the things
1154
00:34:44,816 --> 00:34:45,983
I got to take.
1155
00:34:45,983 --> 00:34:46,784
I got to get away.
1156
00:34:46,784 --> 00:34:48,553
Yeah. If I don't, you know. Yeah.
1157
00:34:48,553 --> 00:34:49,720
Then what's it all for?
1158
00:34:49,720 --> 00:34:51,089
So years ago
1159
00:34:51,089 --> 00:34:52,924
didn't take a lot of education time.
1160
00:34:52,924 --> 00:34:56,194
My kids were younger, and I can say that
1161
00:34:56,194 --> 00:34:57,662
I probably missed a lot of things
1162
00:34:57,662 --> 00:34:59,430
that I shouldn't have.
1163
00:34:59,430 --> 00:35:01,432
As I've gotten older, I've realized that
1164
00:35:02,433 --> 00:35:03,000
the important
1165
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,303
stuff oftentimes happens when you're
1166
00:35:05,336 --> 00:35:06,170
when you're on vacation,
1167
00:35:06,170 --> 00:35:08,372
you know, S.W.A.T. time for it.
1168
00:35:08,372 --> 00:35:09,807
But I can also say that
1169
00:35:09,807 --> 00:35:11,342
I'm fortunate that over the years
1170
00:35:11,342 --> 00:35:13,478
I've been able to grow my team
1171
00:35:13,478 --> 00:35:15,146
and giving my team
1172
00:35:15,146 --> 00:35:16,981
the ability to make decisions
1173
00:35:16,981 --> 00:35:19,016
and to handle things when I'm not there,
1174
00:35:19,684 --> 00:35:22,487
to empower them to do their job
1175
00:35:22,753 --> 00:35:25,089
and not have to micromanage them
1176
00:35:25,089 --> 00:35:25,590
all the time
1177
00:35:25,590 --> 00:35:27,191
has also made a really big difference.
1178
00:35:27,191 --> 00:35:30,128
So give yourself a primer who you know
1179
00:35:30,161 --> 00:35:30,962
deals with everything
1180
00:35:30,962 --> 00:35:32,663
and you don't feel that you can trust
1181
00:35:32,663 --> 00:35:34,499
the people that work for you.
1182
00:35:34,499 --> 00:35:35,266
You don't empower them
1183
00:35:35,266 --> 00:35:36,534
to make those decisions.
1184
00:35:36,534 --> 00:35:36,901
Then yeah,
1185
00:35:36,901 --> 00:35:38,803
you're going to be stuck having to
1186
00:35:38,803 --> 00:35:41,072
all the time making every decision.
1187
00:35:41,072 --> 00:35:42,607
But if you can get to a point,
1188
00:35:42,607 --> 00:35:44,408
whether it's with one person or ten,
1189
00:35:44,408 --> 00:35:46,477
where you're able to empower
1190
00:35:46,477 --> 00:35:46,744
the people
1191
00:35:46,744 --> 00:35:49,680
that work for you to make decisions, that
1192
00:35:50,248 --> 00:35:52,083
you trust them, you've trained them,
1193
00:35:52,083 --> 00:35:54,752
you've spent the time building your team.
1194
00:35:55,052 --> 00:35:55,887
Then if somebody's
1195
00:35:55,887 --> 00:35:57,021
going to make more time for you
1196
00:35:57,021 --> 00:35:58,089
to be able to take vacation.
1197
00:35:58,089 --> 00:35:59,891
So as I've gotten older and
1198
00:35:59,891 --> 00:36:00,791
and had I've been fortunate
1199
00:36:00,791 --> 00:36:02,126
to grow, my team
1200
00:36:02,126 --> 00:36:03,394
definitely take advantage of the fact
1201
00:36:03,394 --> 00:36:04,662
that I can take some vacation time.
1202
00:36:04,662 --> 00:36:05,563
When my kids were younger,
1203
00:36:05,563 --> 00:36:07,398
we used to make sure to schedule in
1204
00:36:07,398 --> 00:36:08,132
day vacation.
1205
00:36:08,132 --> 00:36:10,201
Now they're getting older
1206
00:36:10,201 --> 00:36:12,270
and they're, you know, above 20.
1207
00:36:12,270 --> 00:36:14,772
So we don't really do that so,
1208
00:36:14,872 --> 00:36:16,440
so much anymore.
1209
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:17,675
We're able to go out
1210
00:36:17,675 --> 00:36:18,910
and do your fake inventory
1211
00:36:18,910 --> 00:36:20,011
and want to go out there
1212
00:36:20,011 --> 00:36:21,279
and make sure to spend an extra day
1213
00:36:21,279 --> 00:36:21,679
or two
1214
00:36:21,679 --> 00:36:24,015
and see some sites and try to get away.
1215
00:36:24,081 --> 00:36:25,449
Being a weekend here
1216
00:36:25,449 --> 00:36:27,785
and a weekend there for for local stuff.
1217
00:36:27,785 --> 00:36:28,853
I mean, if something comes up,
1218
00:36:28,853 --> 00:36:30,655
I want to think twice about going.
1219
00:36:30,655 --> 00:36:31,956
I am finally at this point,
1220
00:36:31,956 --> 00:36:32,623
but I would say it
1221
00:36:32,623 --> 00:36:34,458
took me a long time to get there
1222
00:36:34,458 --> 00:36:35,459
and it really took
1223
00:36:35,459 --> 00:36:36,961
hiring the right people,
1224
00:36:36,961 --> 00:36:39,063
like having awesome people
1225
00:36:39,063 --> 00:36:41,532
to pull together when you're away,
1226
00:36:41,966 --> 00:36:42,200
you know,
1227
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:42,500
because it
1228
00:36:42,500 --> 00:36:43,367
almost seems like
1229
00:36:43,367 --> 00:36:44,735
it's not just one person
1230
00:36:44,735 --> 00:36:45,937
who can handle your duties
1231
00:36:45,937 --> 00:36:46,504
when you're away.
1232
00:36:46,504 --> 00:36:48,806
It's got to be several people.
1233
00:36:49,273 --> 00:36:51,809
So between my office
1234
00:36:51,809 --> 00:36:53,044
and my lead guys in the
1235
00:36:53,044 --> 00:36:54,212
in the field
1236
00:36:54,212 --> 00:36:56,113
together that they pulled together
1237
00:36:56,113 --> 00:36:56,948
and then I,
1238
00:36:56,948 --> 00:36:58,616
I really believe it or not,
1239
00:36:58,616 --> 00:36:59,784
I don't get that many calls.
1240
00:36:59,784 --> 00:37:00,751
But anyway,
1241
00:37:00,751 --> 00:37:02,520
and it's really that's what it is.
1242
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:03,120
It's the calls
1243
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:04,288
I create, stressing
1244
00:37:04,288 --> 00:37:05,556
even when you're away,
1245
00:37:05,556 --> 00:37:06,691
because you can't go
1246
00:37:06,691 --> 00:37:08,459
and take care of a situation.
1247
00:37:08,459 --> 00:37:10,461
So I have found that the less calls
1248
00:37:10,461 --> 00:37:10,795
you get
1249
00:37:10,795 --> 00:37:11,262
and the more
1250
00:37:11,262 --> 00:37:12,096
that you're relying
1251
00:37:12,096 --> 00:37:15,066
on your employees to handle situations
1252
00:37:15,066 --> 00:37:16,601
and you just let them do their thing,
1253
00:37:16,601 --> 00:37:18,302
whether it's right or wrong.
1254
00:37:18,302 --> 00:37:19,570
And if it's wrong,
1255
00:37:19,570 --> 00:37:20,304
educate them on
1256
00:37:20,304 --> 00:37:22,573
how you would have done it in the future.
1257
00:37:23,074 --> 00:37:24,642
The more I put faith in them,
1258
00:37:24,642 --> 00:37:26,043
the more it comes back to me
1259
00:37:26,043 --> 00:37:28,279
and being able to
1260
00:37:28,279 --> 00:37:29,880
relax and actually go on vacation
1261
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:31,515
and join my family, it's great to do.
1262
00:37:31,515 --> 00:37:33,184
Now is planning ahead
1263
00:37:33,184 --> 00:37:33,985
and try to
1264
00:37:33,985 --> 00:37:34,485
you know
1265
00:37:34,485 --> 00:37:34,785
week or
1266
00:37:34,785 --> 00:37:36,153
two weeks are going to be all right
1267
00:37:36,153 --> 00:37:37,922
that don't leave too much work
1268
00:37:37,922 --> 00:37:38,823
just the necessary
1269
00:37:38,823 --> 00:37:39,123
of what
1270
00:37:39,123 --> 00:37:40,324
a regular customer you know
1271
00:37:40,324 --> 00:37:41,058
to make sure I'm
1272
00:37:41,058 --> 00:37:42,560
not going to get those calls
1273
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,562
I get asked me, you know, for a roller
1274
00:37:44,562 --> 00:37:45,563
when don't go in the van.
1275
00:37:45,563 --> 00:37:46,264
And, you know, they don't
1276
00:37:46,264 --> 00:37:47,331
they have their roller there.
1277
00:37:47,331 --> 00:37:48,733
That's what I'm trying to either try to
1278
00:37:48,733 --> 00:37:50,701
they're trying to schedule the week,
1279
00:37:50,701 --> 00:37:52,036
you know, like week
1280
00:37:52,036 --> 00:37:54,238
to be able to enjoy it.
1281
00:37:54,238 --> 00:37:55,339
So that's interesting.
1282
00:37:55,339 --> 00:37:55,773
Okay.
1283
00:37:55,773 --> 00:37:56,841
So, you know,
1284
00:37:56,841 --> 00:37:57,908
I like to hear
1285
00:37:57,908 --> 00:37:59,043
I like to hear other people's
1286
00:37:59,043 --> 00:38:00,878
perspective on everything.
1287
00:38:00,878 --> 00:38:02,480
You take a guy like Adam Busy,
1288
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,348
who is a man,
1289
00:38:04,348 --> 00:38:05,950
he's got so much responsibility
1290
00:38:05,950 --> 00:38:07,718
and he has so much on his plate.
1291
00:38:07,718 --> 00:38:10,121
And some of these other guys that
1292
00:38:11,289 --> 00:38:12,323
how they handle things
1293
00:38:12,323 --> 00:38:14,025
and how they're able to delegate
1294
00:38:14,025 --> 00:38:15,359
and and
1295
00:38:15,359 --> 00:38:16,694
I think it's super interesting to me.
1296
00:38:16,694 --> 00:38:18,963
And so we really appreciate them
1297
00:38:18,963 --> 00:38:20,431
coming on with us.
1298
00:38:20,431 --> 00:38:21,899
Yeah. Yeah.
1299
00:38:21,899 --> 00:38:22,800
You know, it's, you know,
1300
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,002
like Dan was saying,
1301
00:38:25,369 --> 00:38:26,804
it's nice to have other people
1302
00:38:26,804 --> 00:38:29,473
you can trust and rely on
1303
00:38:29,473 --> 00:38:31,375
because going on vacation
1304
00:38:31,375 --> 00:38:32,743
is almost going to be impossible
1305
00:38:32,743 --> 00:38:35,012
if you can't. Yeah.
1306
00:38:35,012 --> 00:38:37,381
If you don't have that, that key person.
1307
00:38:37,848 --> 00:38:39,617
Everybody is wired differently
1308
00:38:39,617 --> 00:38:40,785
and I joke around a little bit.
1309
00:38:40,785 --> 00:38:41,886
But I mean, I am serious.
1310
00:38:41,886 --> 00:38:43,287
I really don't take a lot of vacations.
1311
00:38:43,287 --> 00:38:43,921
I but
1312
00:38:43,921 --> 00:38:45,456
but if you're someone that does
1313
00:38:45,456 --> 00:38:46,891
and needs to,
1314
00:38:46,957 --> 00:38:48,125
I think it's important to schedule
1315
00:38:48,125 --> 00:38:49,360
it really for your mental health.
1316
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:50,328
I really do believe that.
1317
00:38:50,328 --> 00:38:52,196
And here's the thing, too.
1318
00:38:52,196 --> 00:38:53,898
When you schedule vacation
1319
00:38:53,898 --> 00:38:55,333
schedule, bring in your big machine
1320
00:38:55,333 --> 00:38:57,201
to get to get serviced,
1321
00:38:57,201 --> 00:38:59,337
bring your edger and your big machine
1322
00:38:59,337 --> 00:39:01,005
if one of your guys is going on vacation.
1323
00:39:01,005 --> 00:39:05,009
And Xavier, August 15th schedule
1324
00:39:05,009 --> 00:39:06,010
with your distributor,
1325
00:39:06,010 --> 00:39:07,411
have them
1326
00:39:07,478 --> 00:39:08,112
working on,
1327
00:39:08,112 --> 00:39:09,480
you know, maintain his machines
1328
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:10,114
while he's gone
1329
00:39:10,114 --> 00:39:11,549
because we know how hard it is to do it
1330
00:39:11,549 --> 00:39:12,216
when when he's
1331
00:39:12,216 --> 00:39:12,950
when he's you know,
1332
00:39:12,950 --> 00:39:14,085
we can't turn the machines off
1333
00:39:14,085 --> 00:39:15,386
when everybody's working,
1334
00:39:15,386 --> 00:39:16,821
have the bills looked at
1335
00:39:16,821 --> 00:39:18,689
and the machines cleaned out brilliantly.
1336
00:39:18,689 --> 00:39:21,959
You're your distributor guy and and
1337
00:39:22,526 --> 00:39:24,628
and be grateful that you have
1338
00:39:24,628 --> 00:39:25,629
a distributor
1339
00:39:26,731 --> 00:39:28,399
or somebody that can work on the machines
1340
00:39:28,399 --> 00:39:30,234
because there are few and far between.
1341
00:39:30,234 --> 00:39:31,068
I mean, you think it's hard
1342
00:39:31,068 --> 00:39:33,671
to find a good mechanic to do floors
1343
00:39:34,605 --> 00:39:35,072
is it's
1344
00:39:35,072 --> 00:39:35,740
hard to find someone
1345
00:39:35,740 --> 00:39:37,174
to work on a machine.
1346
00:39:37,174 --> 00:39:38,042
And you know something
1347
00:39:38,042 --> 00:39:39,477
I'll tell you something else too,
1348
00:39:39,477 --> 00:39:40,878
about about distributors in this
1349
00:39:40,878 --> 00:39:42,747
in this industry.
1350
00:39:42,747 --> 00:39:43,948
I've talked to a lot of distributed
1351
00:39:43,948 --> 00:39:44,582
across the country.
1352
00:39:44,582 --> 00:39:45,516
And they don't make money
1353
00:39:45,516 --> 00:39:46,817
on these machines.
1354
00:39:46,817 --> 00:39:48,252
They really don't.
1355
00:39:48,319 --> 00:39:49,587
It's something that they do it
1356
00:39:49,587 --> 00:39:50,521
because it's a service.
1357
00:39:50,521 --> 00:39:52,523
It's a service their customer.
1358
00:39:52,523 --> 00:39:53,824
Service to the customer
1359
00:39:53,824 --> 00:39:55,226
and they don't make a lot of money
1360
00:39:55,226 --> 00:39:55,593
doing it.
1361
00:39:55,593 --> 00:39:55,960
And so
1362
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:57,261
and you look at the amount of parts
1363
00:39:57,261 --> 00:39:59,029
that they have to stock
1364
00:39:59,029 --> 00:40:00,030
and how long they have to
1365
00:40:00,030 --> 00:40:01,832
hang onto those parts
1366
00:40:01,832 --> 00:40:05,202
that might turn one, one screw random
1367
00:40:05,202 --> 00:40:06,704
screw that they need
1368
00:40:06,704 --> 00:40:07,805
when someone else needs it
1369
00:40:07,805 --> 00:40:10,274
and it might sit there for two years.
1370
00:40:10,274 --> 00:40:11,809
That's not making any money off of them.
1371
00:40:12,943 --> 00:40:13,477
So, you
1372
00:40:13,477 --> 00:40:16,680
know, as many distributor
1373
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:18,048
people as I talked to,
1374
00:40:18,048 --> 00:40:19,083
sometimes I talk
1375
00:40:19,083 --> 00:40:19,984
to someone who says, well,
1376
00:40:19,984 --> 00:40:22,052
I think I'd like to be a distributor or,
1377
00:40:22,052 --> 00:40:22,286
you know,
1378
00:40:22,286 --> 00:40:24,255
we thought about being a distributor too.
1379
00:40:24,255 --> 00:40:27,191
I think really have no idea
1380
00:40:27,691 --> 00:40:29,760
how hard it is to be a distributor
1381
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:31,562
and how many ways that they get hit
1382
00:40:31,562 --> 00:40:32,730
from all different directions.
1383
00:40:32,730 --> 00:40:34,432
And everything is a very tough business
1384
00:40:34,432 --> 00:40:35,132
to do.
1385
00:40:35,132 --> 00:40:37,635
And I'm grateful,
1386
00:40:37,635 --> 00:40:39,570
you know, and when I look at
1387
00:40:39,570 --> 00:40:40,704
when we come into a distributor,
1388
00:40:40,704 --> 00:40:42,173
that's their house.
1389
00:40:42,173 --> 00:40:43,641
That's their house.
1390
00:40:43,641 --> 00:40:44,809
You know,
1391
00:40:44,809 --> 00:40:46,610
and they've put blood, sweat and tears
1392
00:40:46,610 --> 00:40:47,178
into that,
1393
00:40:47,178 --> 00:40:48,746
you know, every single day,
1394
00:40:48,746 --> 00:40:49,680
especially when they have
1395
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:51,715
in multiple locations or whatever.
1396
00:40:51,715 --> 00:40:52,750
I mean, that's their
1397
00:40:52,750 --> 00:40:53,284
that's
1398
00:40:53,284 --> 00:40:54,418
every time they open one,
1399
00:40:54,418 --> 00:40:56,520
it's like opening up a brand new business
1400
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:57,455
and employees
1401
00:40:57,455 --> 00:40:58,689
and everything that goes into that.
1402
00:40:58,689 --> 00:41:00,224
And then there's deliveries
1403
00:41:00,224 --> 00:41:00,858
on top of that
1404
00:41:00,858 --> 00:41:02,259
and all these different things.
1405
00:41:02,259 --> 00:41:04,195
And you'd be surprised
1406
00:41:05,229 --> 00:41:05,896
they don't make a
1407
00:41:05,896 --> 00:41:06,897
lot of a lot of these things.
1408
00:41:06,897 --> 00:41:08,232
They're doing this for as a service
1409
00:41:08,232 --> 00:41:10,167
to their clients and their customers.
1410
00:41:10,167 --> 00:41:11,068
So
1411
00:41:11,802 --> 00:41:13,571
shout out to distributors.
1412
00:41:13,571 --> 00:41:14,738
Rob I you feel the same way.
1413
00:41:14,738 --> 00:41:15,873
We both worked at one.
1414
00:41:15,873 --> 00:41:17,074
We understand
1415
00:41:17,074 --> 00:41:18,342
on a small level
1416
00:41:18,342 --> 00:41:19,877
the some of the complexities
1417
00:41:19,877 --> 00:41:21,078
of that business.
1418
00:41:21,078 --> 00:41:23,280
And so we're grateful for.
1419
00:41:24,782 --> 00:41:25,883
I tell you,
1420
00:41:26,083 --> 00:41:26,350
you know,
1421
00:41:26,350 --> 00:41:28,252
when I ran the pro shop from God,
1422
00:41:28,252 --> 00:41:30,721
that was 25 years ago for Hoboken.
1423
00:41:31,822 --> 00:41:33,757
Did you say ran it into the ground?
1424
00:41:33,757 --> 00:41:34,658
No, hold on.
1425
00:41:34,658 --> 00:41:37,795
No, maybe they.
1426
00:41:37,795 --> 00:41:38,562
That was unfair.
1427
00:41:38,562 --> 00:41:40,965
You guys were so appreciative.
1428
00:41:40,965 --> 00:41:43,000
I mean, if somebody brought in a nailer
1429
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:43,534
or an edger
1430
00:41:43,534 --> 00:41:45,903
and say it's doing this, it's doing that,
1431
00:41:45,903 --> 00:41:46,637
and just drop it.
1432
00:41:46,637 --> 00:41:47,972
I was doing
1433
00:41:48,138 --> 00:41:51,008
and you see that a lot with distribution
1434
00:41:51,342 --> 00:41:53,444
service centers and distribution is
1435
00:41:53,444 --> 00:41:54,645
they know how important it is.
1436
00:41:54,645 --> 00:41:55,846
They know that,
1437
00:41:55,846 --> 00:41:59,149
you know, things break down, everything
1438
00:41:59,149 --> 00:41:59,984
comes to a halt.
1439
00:42:01,185 --> 00:42:02,086
And a lot of these
1440
00:42:02,086 --> 00:42:03,554
service centers were like,
1441
00:42:03,554 --> 00:42:04,855
we used to do it, where
1442
00:42:04,855 --> 00:42:05,856
if I can get to it right
1443
00:42:05,856 --> 00:42:08,092
now, I'm going to get to it right now.
1444
00:42:08,092 --> 00:42:09,159
I'm going to drop what I'm doing
1445
00:42:09,159 --> 00:42:10,261
and get your machine done.
1446
00:42:10,261 --> 00:42:12,930
And when we see that all over the place
1447
00:42:12,930 --> 00:42:14,298
with a lot of these service centers,
1448
00:42:14,298 --> 00:42:16,333
so they get it.
1449
00:42:16,333 --> 00:42:17,134
But here's a guy,
1450
00:42:17,134 --> 00:42:18,035
you pull your car in
1451
00:42:18,035 --> 00:42:19,403
for breaks or something like that.
1452
00:42:19,403 --> 00:42:21,005
We'll get to it. Yeah.
1453
00:42:21,005 --> 00:42:22,106
But here's what you see
1454
00:42:22,106 --> 00:42:23,674
more often than not,
1455
00:42:23,674 --> 00:42:25,943
and I've seen this a lot,
1456
00:42:25,943 --> 00:42:27,244
where you go into the shop
1457
00:42:27,244 --> 00:42:28,212
with a guy repairs
1458
00:42:28,212 --> 00:42:28,946
the machines
1459
00:42:28,946 --> 00:42:30,948
and it's there's machines everywhere.
1460
00:42:30,948 --> 00:42:31,315
There's
1461
00:42:31,315 --> 00:42:33,183
there's drum centers and edgers
1462
00:42:33,183 --> 00:42:35,786
and nail guns lined up wall to wall.
1463
00:42:36,387 --> 00:42:38,122
And that guy is busy.
1464
00:42:38,122 --> 00:42:39,590
He's. He's humping.
1465
00:42:39,590 --> 00:42:41,458
Yeah, but you always see a guy
1466
00:42:41,458 --> 00:42:42,693
come in with a machine.
1467
00:42:42,693 --> 00:42:44,962
I got to have this. I got a job.
1468
00:42:44,962 --> 00:42:45,863
I mean, you know,
1469
00:42:45,863 --> 00:42:47,131
the job's got to go now.
1470
00:42:47,131 --> 00:42:49,266
It's an emergency, whatever. So
1471
00:42:50,768 --> 00:42:52,770
that's a lot of stress on those guys
1472
00:42:52,770 --> 00:42:53,904
because they feel the stress.
1473
00:42:53,904 --> 00:42:55,472
They feel the stress from the contractors
1474
00:42:55,472 --> 00:42:56,206
bringing the machines
1475
00:42:56,206 --> 00:42:56,941
and they know
1476
00:42:56,941 --> 00:42:58,742
they have to get the machines out.
1477
00:42:58,742 --> 00:43:01,545
And as I said, a lot of times
1478
00:43:01,845 --> 00:43:03,514
they're really doing it as a service.
1479
00:43:03,514 --> 00:43:05,583
It's not a moneymaking venture for them.
1480
00:43:06,350 --> 00:43:07,151
It's more of a service
1481
00:43:07,151 --> 00:43:08,485
to their customers.
1482
00:43:08,485 --> 00:43:10,054
So hats off to all those guys
1483
00:43:10,054 --> 00:43:10,654
who do that.
1484
00:43:10,654 --> 00:43:12,990
And and that's distributors,
1485
00:43:13,290 --> 00:43:14,525
just distributors in general.
1486
00:43:14,525 --> 00:43:14,992
That's a
1487
00:43:14,992 --> 00:43:16,060
very such an important role
1488
00:43:16,060 --> 00:43:17,294
in our industry.
1489
00:43:17,294 --> 00:43:19,530
I used to have one guy who would
1490
00:43:19,530 --> 00:43:22,866
maybe bring his gun in, like run in once
1491
00:43:22,866 --> 00:43:25,069
every six months and go rob,
1492
00:43:25,069 --> 00:43:26,704
I need that real quick fix.
1493
00:43:26,704 --> 00:43:27,805
You know that.
1494
00:43:27,805 --> 00:43:29,373
You know the quick fix you do.
1495
00:43:29,373 --> 00:43:31,075
And there's one
1496
00:43:31,075 --> 00:43:33,711
washer on the inside of a plunger
1497
00:43:33,711 --> 00:43:35,112
on the busted nailer.
1498
00:43:35,112 --> 00:43:36,614
It's like that.
1499
00:43:36,614 --> 00:43:38,549
It, it's an o ring wash.
1500
00:43:38,549 --> 00:43:40,751
Yeah, but it's flat sided.
1501
00:43:40,784 --> 00:43:41,552
Yeah. Yeah.
1502
00:43:41,552 --> 00:43:43,354
And once that wears right,
1503
00:43:43,354 --> 00:43:45,055
you know, the one I'm talking about
1504
00:43:45,055 --> 00:43:46,390
that wears
1505
00:43:46,390 --> 00:43:47,625
now you're just blowing air, you're
1506
00:43:47,625 --> 00:43:48,692
not getting any. Yeah.
1507
00:43:49,793 --> 00:43:50,928
And I would just pop that.
1508
00:43:50,928 --> 00:43:51,695
I'll put it again.
1509
00:43:51,695 --> 00:43:52,096
I bet
1510
00:43:52,096 --> 00:43:53,764
I get to the point where I could do that
1511
00:43:53,764 --> 00:43:55,532
repairing about 10 minutes
1512
00:43:55,532 --> 00:43:56,967
and the guy was like, Oh,
1513
00:43:56,967 --> 00:43:58,168
you're the greatest.
1514
00:43:58,168 --> 00:43:58,869
And I'm like,
1515
00:43:58,869 --> 00:44:00,571
you know, I can show you how to do it.
1516
00:44:00,571 --> 00:44:01,672
Yeah, I didn't
1517
00:44:01,672 --> 00:44:02,573
I didn't go to school for it,
1518
00:44:02,573 --> 00:44:04,174
as any rocket science is really
1519
00:44:04,174 --> 00:44:05,643
you know, it was. No, no, no.
1520
00:44:05,643 --> 00:44:07,645
I just the way you do it, like.
1521
00:44:07,645 --> 00:44:08,812
Yeah, all right.
1522
00:44:08,812 --> 00:44:10,014
Yeah, no problem.
1523
00:44:10,014 --> 00:44:11,515
Sounds familiar.
1524
00:44:11,715 --> 00:44:13,817
It's good stuff, Rob.
1525
00:44:13,817 --> 00:44:14,451
All right.
1526
00:44:14,451 --> 00:44:15,052
Thank you, Rob.
1527
00:44:15,052 --> 00:44:18,355
Always great to spend some time with you.
1528
00:44:18,355 --> 00:44:19,957
This has been another episode
1529
00:44:19,957 --> 00:44:21,825
of On the Floor with Wayne and Rob.
1530
00:44:21,825 --> 00:46:27,284
We stay tuned for another episode.
1531
00:46:27,284 --> 00:46:29,853
For me, we didn't really take vacations.
1532
00:46:29,853 --> 00:46:33,056
We were we were pretty much gung
1533
00:46:33,056 --> 00:46:34,324
whole the whole time,
1534
00:46:34,324 --> 00:46:35,793
you know, balls to the walls
1535
00:46:35,793 --> 00:46:36,927
all the time, just work.
1536
00:46:38,829 --> 00:46:39,630
And then
1537
00:46:39,696 --> 00:46:40,264
because I felt
1538
00:46:40,264 --> 00:46:41,398
guilty that
1539
00:46:41,398 --> 00:46:43,867
I would be off the guys would be working.
1540
00:46:44,101 --> 00:46:47,805
And then when it came to that,
1541
00:46:48,438 --> 00:46:49,173
the cost,
1542
00:46:49,173 --> 00:46:52,309
the customer or the guys would call me.
1543
00:46:52,309 --> 00:46:54,144
So I'm on vacation,
1544
00:46:54,144 --> 00:46:56,146
I'm straight out work now.
1545
00:46:56,146 --> 00:46:57,181
I'm on the phone anyway.
1546
00:46:57,181 --> 00:47:00,617
So lot I would like to schedule the time
1547
00:47:01,018 --> 00:47:03,754
that I did have off
1548
00:47:03,754 --> 00:47:05,789
around long holidays in between
1549
00:47:05,956 --> 00:47:07,157
special times,
1550
00:47:07,157 --> 00:47:08,392
and then know that
1551
00:47:08,392 --> 00:47:09,660
if I could send them on a job
1552
00:47:09,660 --> 00:47:12,129
that didn't require any
1553
00:47:12,129 --> 00:47:14,064
homeowner participation,
1554
00:47:14,064 --> 00:47:15,632
it made it a little easier.
1555
00:47:15,632 --> 00:47:18,001
But that was that was it for me.
1556
00:47:18,435 --> 00:47:19,269
It's a different life
1557
00:47:19,269 --> 00:47:21,572
now, but for my guys now, it's
1558
00:47:22,139 --> 00:47:23,740
they're allowed to take vacation.
1559
00:47:23,740 --> 00:47:25,976
I allow them to have that opportunity
1560
00:47:26,210 --> 00:47:26,810
to tell me
1561
00:47:26,810 --> 00:47:28,212
when they're going to want vacation.
1562
00:47:28,212 --> 00:47:29,379
I like it.
1563
00:47:29,379 --> 00:47:31,882
Let's say get at least a month's notice.
1564
00:47:32,182 --> 00:47:32,616
At least
1565
00:47:32,616 --> 00:47:34,318
that gives me an opportunity
1566
00:47:34,318 --> 00:47:35,352
to schedule around
1567
00:47:35,352 --> 00:47:36,787
which jobs we're going to do, for
1568
00:47:36,787 --> 00:47:38,188
which guy
1569
00:47:38,188 --> 00:47:39,356
that I may have
1570
00:47:39,356 --> 00:47:39,990
their needs
1571
00:47:39,990 --> 00:47:41,491
and the customers can wait,
1572
00:47:41,491 --> 00:47:42,893
which they usually do.
1573
00:47:42,893 --> 00:47:43,393
He'll wait.
1574
00:47:43,393 --> 00:47:44,528
But I'll you know,
1575
00:47:44,528 --> 00:47:45,996
I'm okay with the guys
1576
00:47:45,996 --> 00:47:48,065
taking off on vacation
1577
00:47:48,432 --> 00:47:50,033
and I'm not happy
1578
00:47:50,033 --> 00:47:52,436
when they miss after a holiday. Yeah.
1579
00:47:52,603 --> 00:47:53,170
You know that
1580
00:47:53,170 --> 00:47:54,571
kind of gets under my coat
1581
00:47:54,571 --> 00:47:55,873
that I've paid them for the holiday
1582
00:47:55,873 --> 00:47:57,374
they take the next day.
1583
00:47:57,374 --> 00:47:58,308
That is the
1584
00:47:58,308 --> 00:48:00,210
the part that we have a little bit of
1585
00:48:02,145 --> 00:48:03,247
resistance on because I
1586
00:48:03,247 --> 00:48:04,147
tell them this way, you know,
1587
00:48:04,147 --> 00:48:05,549
I can't pay you for the holiday
1588
00:48:05,549 --> 00:48:07,751
because you took the next day off. Yeah.
1589
00:48:07,818 --> 00:48:10,821
And sometimes it's hard
1590
00:48:10,821 --> 00:48:13,156
with certain people that they don't get
1591
00:48:13,156 --> 00:48:14,224
that makes sense, you know.
1592
00:48:14,224 --> 00:48:16,059
So what do you do about vacation?
1593
00:48:16,059 --> 00:48:17,995
You schedule occasion. Tagalog.
1594
00:48:17,995 --> 00:48:20,397
Do you really? I try. I do try.
1595
00:48:20,397 --> 00:48:22,165
I do try. And it's tough.
1596
00:48:22,165 --> 00:48:22,833
You know, I'm
1597
00:48:22,833 --> 00:48:24,835
fortunate because
1598
00:48:24,835 --> 00:48:26,837
my father and I are partners,
1599
00:48:26,837 --> 00:48:30,641
so I can, you know, he can
1600
00:48:30,674 --> 00:48:32,809
he can hold the ball
1601
00:48:32,809 --> 00:48:35,178
and I do same for him.
1602
00:48:35,178 --> 00:48:37,381
You know, he's he's kind of stepped back
1603
00:48:37,381 --> 00:48:38,882
as far as
1604
00:48:38,949 --> 00:48:39,650
doing anything,
1605
00:48:39,650 --> 00:48:41,351
like running the business wise.
1606
00:48:41,351 --> 00:48:42,719
He's just
1607
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:45,255
in the field, wants to just work and,
1608
00:48:45,489 --> 00:48:47,391
you know, take care of things.
1609
00:48:47,391 --> 00:48:48,959
So, you know,
1610
00:48:48,959 --> 00:48:49,393
I can
1611
00:48:49,393 --> 00:48:50,394
I can go away
1612
00:48:50,394 --> 00:48:52,329
and have a nice kind of peak.
1613
00:48:52,329 --> 00:48:54,598
My phone never stops, but
1614
00:48:54,598 --> 00:48:56,033
it don't matter where, you know,
1615
00:48:56,033 --> 00:48:57,100
it don't matter.
1616
00:48:57,100 --> 00:48:58,368
I'm on vacation or not.
1617
00:48:58,368 --> 00:49:00,304
The phone goes, me and you,
1618
00:49:00,304 --> 00:49:02,139
but it comes with the territory,
1619
00:49:02,139 --> 00:49:02,506
you know.
1620
00:49:02,506 --> 00:49:04,574
But it's, it's one of them things
1621
00:49:04,574 --> 00:49:05,776
I got to take.
1622
00:49:05,776 --> 00:49:06,910
I got to get away. Yeah.
1623
00:49:06,910 --> 00:49:09,513
If I don't, you know, then what's it all
1624
00:49:09,513 --> 00:49:10,881
so years ago?
1625
00:49:10,881 --> 00:49:12,416
Didn't take a lot of mediation time.
1626
00:49:12,416 --> 00:49:16,019
My kids were younger and I can say that
1627
00:49:16,019 --> 00:49:17,654
I probably missed a lot of things
1628
00:49:17,654 --> 00:49:19,256
I shouldn't have.
1629
00:49:19,256 --> 00:49:21,224
As I've gotten older, I've realized that
1630
00:49:22,259 --> 00:49:23,493
the important stuff
1631
00:49:23,493 --> 00:49:25,295
oftentimes happens when you're away,
1632
00:49:25,295 --> 00:49:25,929
you're on vacation,
1633
00:49:25,929 --> 00:49:28,198
you know, so you don't have time for it.
1634
00:49:28,198 --> 00:49:30,367
But I can also say that I'm fortunate
1635
00:49:30,367 --> 00:49:31,168
that over the years
1636
00:49:31,168 --> 00:49:33,270
I've been able to grow my team
1637
00:49:33,270 --> 00:49:34,938
and giving my team
1638
00:49:34,938 --> 00:49:36,773
the ability to make decisions
1639
00:49:36,773 --> 00:49:38,809
and to handle things when I'm not there.
1640
00:49:39,476 --> 00:49:42,245
To empower them to do their job
1641
00:49:42,546 --> 00:49:44,881
and not have to micromanage them
1642
00:49:44,881 --> 00:49:45,782
all the time has also made
1643
00:49:45,782 --> 00:49:46,984
a really big difference.
1644
00:49:46,984 --> 00:49:49,920
So give yourself a primer who you know
1645
00:49:49,953 --> 00:49:50,754
deals with everything
1646
00:49:50,754 --> 00:49:52,422
and you don't feel that you can trust
1647
00:49:52,422 --> 00:49:54,291
the people that work for you.
1648
00:49:54,291 --> 00:49:55,058
You don't empower them
1649
00:49:55,058 --> 00:49:56,326
to make those decisions.
1650
00:49:56,326 --> 00:49:57,327
Then yeah, you're going to be stuck
1651
00:49:57,327 --> 00:49:58,595
having to work
1652
00:49:58,595 --> 00:50:00,831
all the time, making every decision.
1653
00:50:00,831 --> 00:50:02,432
But if you can get to a point,
1654
00:50:02,432 --> 00:50:04,201
whether it's with one person or ten,
1655
00:50:04,201 --> 00:50:05,235
where you're able
1656
00:50:05,235 --> 00:50:06,303
to empower
1657
00:50:06,303 --> 00:50:06,570
the people
1658
00:50:06,570 --> 00:50:09,439
that work for you, make decisions that
1659
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:11,875
you trust them, you've trained them,
1660
00:50:11,875 --> 00:50:14,544
you've spent the time building your team.
1661
00:50:14,845 --> 00:50:15,679
Then if somebody's
1662
00:50:15,679 --> 00:50:16,680
going to make more time
1663
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:17,881
for you to be able to take vacation.
1664
00:50:17,881 --> 00:50:19,750
So as I've gotten older enough
1665
00:50:19,750 --> 00:50:20,584
and I've been fortunate
1666
00:50:20,584 --> 00:50:21,918
to grow, my team
1667
00:50:21,918 --> 00:50:23,220
definitely take advantage of the fact
1668
00:50:23,220 --> 00:50:24,421
that I can take some vacation time.
1669
00:50:24,421 --> 00:50:25,389
When my kids were younger,
1670
00:50:25,389 --> 00:50:26,757
we used to make sure to schedule
1671
00:50:26,757 --> 00:50:27,924
in ten day vacation.
1672
00:50:27,924 --> 00:50:29,993
Now they're getting older
1673
00:50:29,993 --> 00:50:32,062
and they're, you know, 1220.
1674
00:50:32,062 --> 00:50:34,631
So we don't really do that so,
1675
00:50:34,664 --> 00:50:36,233
so much anymore.
1676
00:50:36,233 --> 00:50:37,501
We able to go out
1677
00:50:37,501 --> 00:50:38,735
and do your face convention.
1678
00:50:38,735 --> 00:50:39,803
And when I go out there,
1679
00:50:39,803 --> 00:50:41,438
I make sure to spend an extra day or two
1680
00:50:41,438 --> 00:50:43,807
and see some sites and try to get away.
1681
00:50:43,907 --> 00:50:45,242
Being a weekend here
1682
00:50:45,242 --> 00:50:46,076
and a weekend there
1683
00:50:46,076 --> 00:50:47,577
for for local staff
1684
00:50:47,577 --> 00:50:48,612
and mean if something comes up
1685
00:50:48,612 --> 00:50:50,414
I want to think twice about going
1686
00:50:50,414 --> 00:50:51,782
I am finally at this point,
1687
00:50:51,782 --> 00:50:53,250
but I would say it took me a long time
1688
00:50:53,250 --> 00:50:54,251
to get there
1689
00:50:54,251 --> 00:50:55,685
and it really took hiring
1690
00:50:55,685 --> 00:50:56,753
the right people,
1691
00:50:56,753 --> 00:50:58,889
like having awesome people
1692
00:50:58,889 --> 00:51:01,324
to pull together when you're away,
1693
00:51:01,758 --> 00:51:01,992
you know,
1694
00:51:01,992 --> 00:51:02,292
because it
1695
00:51:02,292 --> 00:51:03,160
almost seems like
1696
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:04,528
it's not just one person
1697
00:51:04,528 --> 00:51:05,762
who can handle your duties
1698
00:51:05,762 --> 00:51:06,329
when you're away.
1699
00:51:06,329 --> 00:51:08,598
It's got to be several people.
1700
00:51:09,066 --> 00:51:11,601
So between my office
1701
00:51:11,601 --> 00:51:12,836
and my lead guys in the
1702
00:51:12,836 --> 00:51:13,970
in the field
1703
00:51:13,970 --> 00:51:15,005
together, they
1704
00:51:15,005 --> 00:51:16,740
they pull together and and I,
1705
00:51:16,740 --> 00:51:18,375
I really believe it or not,
1706
00:51:18,375 --> 00:51:19,576
I don't get that many calls
1707
00:51:19,576 --> 00:51:20,510
when I'm away.
1708
00:51:20,510 --> 00:51:22,312
And it's really that's what it is.
1709
00:51:22,312 --> 00:51:23,914
It's the calls that create stress.
1710
00:51:23,914 --> 00:51:25,382
And even when you're away
1711
00:51:25,382 --> 00:51:26,483
because you can't go
1712
00:51:26,483 --> 00:51:28,251
and take care of a situation.
1713
00:51:28,251 --> 00:51:30,220
So I have found that the less calls
1714
00:51:30,220 --> 00:51:30,554
you get
1715
00:51:30,554 --> 00:51:31,054
and the more
1716
00:51:31,054 --> 00:51:33,123
that you're relying on your employees
1717
00:51:33,123 --> 00:51:34,858
to handle situations
1718
00:51:34,858 --> 00:51:36,393
and you just let them do their thing,
1719
00:51:36,393 --> 00:51:38,095
whether it's right or wrong.
1720
00:51:38,095 --> 00:51:39,463
And if it's wrong and
1721
00:51:39,463 --> 00:51:39,963
you hate them
1722
00:51:39,963 --> 00:51:41,698
and how you would have done it
1723
00:51:41,698 --> 00:51:42,899
in the future,
1724
00:51:42,899 --> 00:51:44,434
the more I put faith in them,
1725
00:51:44,434 --> 00:51:45,869
the more it comes back to me
1726
00:51:45,869 --> 00:51:49,005
and being able to relax and actually
1727
00:51:49,005 --> 00:51:50,674
go on vacation, enjoy my family.
1728
00:51:50,674 --> 00:51:53,009
Time to do now is planning ahead
1729
00:51:53,009 --> 00:51:53,777
and try to
1730
00:51:53,777 --> 00:51:54,611
you know that a week or
1731
00:51:54,611 --> 00:51:55,979
two weeks are going to be all right,
1732
00:51:55,979 --> 00:51:57,747
that don't leave too much work,
1733
00:51:57,747 --> 00:51:58,715
just the necessity of
1734
00:51:58,715 --> 00:51:59,883
when a regular customer
1735
00:51:59,883 --> 00:52:00,150
you know
1736
00:52:00,150 --> 00:52:00,717
to make sure
1737
00:52:00,717 --> 00:52:02,319
I'm not going to get those calls
1738
00:52:02,319 --> 00:52:04,354
I get asked me, you know, for a roller
1739
00:52:04,354 --> 00:52:05,355
when I'm going to vent.
1740
00:52:05,355 --> 00:52:06,089
And, you know, they don't
1741
00:52:06,089 --> 00:52:07,090
they had the roller coasters.
1742
00:52:07,090 --> 00:52:08,125
That's what I'm trying to do
1743
00:52:08,125 --> 00:52:10,460
to try to try to schedule the week,
1744
00:52:10,460 --> 00:52:11,828
you know, lightweight
1745
00:52:11,828 --> 00:52:13,363
to be able to enjoy.
