00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:09.520
Yesterday we're we're recording, and like you can hear that, I'm sure.
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:14.560
That's that's me hitting the arm, or that's me hitting the table, right?
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:16.960
But yesterday I just moved the arm.
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:25.039
I didn't literally touch it, I just literally moved the arm, and it did like a Halloween, like Yeah, it was like a ghost.
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:28.719
Never does that.
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:30.800

So listen, yesterday, uh, you got bumped.
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:42.479
You were Jimmy Kendall's third guest, and and you uh took offense to it.
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.199
In fact, I heard that you you threw out an F-bomb.
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:49.120
And and here's what you didn't know.
00:03:49.599 --> 00:04:22.160
While you were doing that, while you were selfishly uh uh uh thinking only of your schedule, your timetable, how important you are, while you were doing that, we were recording a podcast about sound vision culture, and Michelle asked me who is the biggest rock star in the company, and I said, simultaneous to you saying F this, I said Mike O'Dowd.
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:25.439
You sure did.
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:27.759
That is on record.
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:29.199
You will hear it.
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:36.639
So yeah, feel bad.
00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:40.240
I do, I do, I yeah, I do.
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:43.759
I am uh that's ridiculous, and it doesn't make any sense.
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:46.720
I said that yesterday, actually, with Eric.
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:49.279
Oh my gosh.
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:54.959
All right, it was um yeah, yesterday is a bit challenging, so I was I know it was it was a Monday.
00:04:55.040 --> 00:05:02.160
It was it's it was certainly a Monday, and um I was I was keeping my eye on the clock and waiting for somebody to call me and when that didn't happen.
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:06.079
It wasn't like yeah, I I we apologize about that.
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:07.839
I'm I'm obviously being funny.
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:08.720
I know.
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:09.519
No, you're okay.
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:10.560
I'm I'm all good.
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:13.680
I just um I said just tell them to wait in the green room.
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:18.480
Well, we've we've had an inordinate amount of calls come in.
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:27.839
And so basically, three balls in the air I had yesterday were Jesse Knight, oh yeah, JGR, and Tamika at Bridgeford.
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:28.720
It's like what?
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:30.480
Oh my gosh, it's the all-star crew.
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:32.879
It literally is Paul McGevin.
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:36.319
It's like they all fit with old.
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:36.879
I know.
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:37.920
Let's call now.
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:59.600
So, yeah, and um and then my guys, uh my guys, um the the service team of Alan and Ethan were digging up under a sidewalk to get a water where we needed it safe and to um and it was a it's a total go back.
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:11.519
We're gonna we're gonna have to take care of that one ourselves, but yeah, we we ran a line and it failed, and the guy called us out on it, and we're like, well, we probably should have run it under the sidewalk, not through a crack.
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:12.560
Oh, yeah.
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:20.160
I've done that a handful of times, and that is brutal.
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:28.480
And and and Alan, of course, it it it could only get better because there's a sprinkler pipe on each side of the sidewalk.
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:32.720
And you know, it's a pathway, it's like it may be 30 inches wide.
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:35.199
But they dug down, sprinkler pipe.
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:38.240
Dug down the air side, sprinkler pipe, run in parallel to the path.
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:39.600
Oh my.
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:44.639
Yeah, so they're well it was a rough day for everybody.
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:56.079
Well, uh I hope everything is is uh at least um in a stable state, especially with those three customers, because they are each and yeah.
00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:01.600
Jesse's good, uh, and and they're at um, well, Alan is at JGR this morning.
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:06.879
We had to bump a uh a client out a couple hours because they had an input fail.
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:09.680
And they, of course, they're having an event today.
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:10.319
Of course.
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:10.879
Of course.
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:15.279
All right, so before we get into this, because we do have limited time because we have a sales meeting coming up.
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:28.399
Yeah, uh Andrew was looking up your phone number and I rattled off 313-6067, which doesn't sound all that impressive until you realize that I don't even know.
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:30.639
I think I know my number and Kristen's number.
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:36.720
I don't think I can name another number that doesn't deal with Kristen or I.
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:38.160
Any anybody else's?
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:39.839
I can't say that anymore.
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:44.399
No, so I what I don't remember about it is why I remember that number.
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:45.839
I know it was somebody else's.
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:47.439
Was it Kyle Ray's?
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:49.279
No, no, no, no, no.
00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:50.560
No, no, no.
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:59.920
So that number was original to um custom home integrations.
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:02.240
I told Andrew it was one of the original ones, yeah.
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:02.560
Okay.
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:11.279
And it was it was assigned to me um when you gave me um a Nextel Blackberry.
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:13.680
Well, wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:17.279
Those are two different Nextel and Blackberry are different.
00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:19.920
There was Nextel and there was Blackberry.
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:22.480
We had we had uh we had Blackberries.
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:24.079
It was a Sprint Blackberry.
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:26.560
I oh I a hundred percent remember the Blackberry.
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:28.480
I remember both very, very well.
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:29.120
Yeah.
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:31.600
Uh and I do remember getting Blackberries.
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:33.519
I think it had a the button on it.
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:37.279
But I could be low.
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:38.080
You know what?
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:39.679
Maybe Sprint did buy.
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:41.360
I think Sprint bought both.
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:43.679
Andrew, do you know what a Nexttel is?
00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:45.360
I've heard of it.
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:47.200
Andrew doesn't know what a Nextel is.
00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:48.320
Do you know what a Blackberry is?
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:49.279
Of course, yes.
00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:49.679
Okay.
00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:51.600
Have you seen the movie, by the way?
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:53.519
The the movie about Blackberry.
00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:55.759
Uh what's it called?
00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:57.120
It's great.
00:08:57.360 --> 00:08:58.000
No, I don't think I have.
00:08:58.399 --> 00:08:58.799
I have not.
00:08:59.039 --> 00:08:59.600
Oh my gosh.
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:00.879
Listen.
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:06.639
Actually, I'm gonna try and at some point watch the Tetris movie, but okay.
00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:07.679
I've seen both of them.
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:11.120
The Tetris movie is very, very, very, very good.
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:13.120
It is well worth watching.
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:16.639
Uh the BlackBerry movie is better.
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:18.000
It's funny.
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:20.159
It is so funny.
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:23.440
It's real, and and I didn't know the entire story.
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:26.320
You know, Blackberry basically completely blew it.
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:31.039
They had the they were the dominant server.
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:40.639
And and uh when Apple, when the original iPhone came out, and they literally said, We're not gonna get rid of the keyboard on the phone.
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:43.600
And that was like the the beginning of the end.
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:46.240
They had every carrier, they had everything.
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:54.960
Uh and they also uh didn't want to outsource their product because it uh the of uh quality control.
00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:56.720
You you gotta watch the movie.
00:09:56.799 --> 00:09:59.200
It is fantastic, so good.
00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:00.000
Okay, got it.
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:05.840
Uh and then but Nextel, so how when were you born, Andrew?
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:07.120
97.
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:08.399
97.
00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:09.440
97.
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:12.320
Okay, so Nextel was very popular in 97.
00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:16.879
Um, Nextel was a phone company, and Sprint origin Sprint did buy them.
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:17.840
You're you're right, Mike.
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:20.240
But originally it was the company was called Nextel.
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:27.039
And it was a it they were flip phones, but when you closed the phone, well, I guess you could do it with it open too.
00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:31.200
But they also had a walkie-talkie in them built into them.
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:31.600
What?
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:32.080
It would go.
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:36.000
And what was cool, and so you had two numbers.
00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:38.720
You had your phone number, which I think you're right, Mike.
00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:42.159
I think 3136067 was at one time a next hell number.
00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:44.399
Uh yeah, it was.
00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:45.759
I I kept the account.
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:49.279
So that worked like a regular phone, you know, flip phone, regular phone.
00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:53.519
But then you also had a five-digit Nextel number, like 46789.
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:54.720
Something like that.
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:55.279
Yeah.
00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:57.440
And that was your Nextel number.
00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:06.080
Now there was in construction, that is the only way you communicated.
00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:09.120
You could not be in construction without a Nextel.
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:12.480
Like, and what was cool is that it was like instant.
00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:14.799
So think of like uh verbal texts.
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:27.279
So you would, you know, you would uh instead of calling you in a voicemail, like I would just button right on the side, and I would pull up your contact and I'd click it, and it would go to you immediately.
00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:32.240
And that is the way everybody in construction uh talked.
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:36.480
Okay, so you press the button and you talk, and does it just go right output to the other person's phone?
00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:37.039
Yes.
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:42.480
Yes, and as a matter of fact, I know Mike, you remember what was our code word.
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:45.440
Oh my gosh.
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:49.279
Oh my god.
00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:51.679
I oh, I don't remember that.
00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:56.240
So so what you found out fairly quickly is it was wide open.
00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:58.159
There was no there was no way to silence it.
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:02.720
You couldn't like put it on you press the button and it's on.
00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:04.559
Yeah, you press the button and you would talk.
00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:05.200
Yeah.
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:12.799
And so the the the etiquette was I would press the button and it would, you know, your phone would go and you would see kind of call RD.
00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:16.320
You'd see who it is, and then you would then initiate the call back.
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:17.919
You would talk to me, and then I would talk.
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:19.919
Like I wouldn't just click and start talking.
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:20.559
Oh, okay.
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:22.639
So you have to like accept it almost.
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:23.759
You don't have to.
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:26.159
That was just you could click and start talking.
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:30.320
Okay, but the etiquette was I would click and then you would basically say yes, I can talk.
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:30.720
So I'm not sure.
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:34.240
Yeah, I basically you're waving in an announcement.
00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:36.320
Hey, hey, I need to talk to you.
00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:39.600
And then you pick up the phone and look at it and go, Oh, it's Mark, okay.
00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:42.000
But this became back.
00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:42.720
Yeah, that's right.
00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:49.519
And this was so ubiquitous, like very rarely did people actually call on the phone, much like a text.
00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:50.000
Okay.
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:50.480
Yeah.
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:52.720
The problem was it was open.
00:12:52.960 --> 00:13:00.159
So, like, you know, and you're not there, like you're you're a hundred miles away or a thousand miles away, or whatever, or five miles away.
00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:03.120
It was nationwide, it was nationwide coast to coast, yeah.
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:03.360
Right.
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:06.480
So, like, I don't know who you're standing with.
00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:11.440
So I'd start talking about you know, the Joneses, and you're standing with the Joneses, right?
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:13.279
And that that happened.
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:13.679
Uh-huh.
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:19.440
So we came up with a code word, and you don't remember what it is, Mike?
00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:20.639
I do not.
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:21.600
I do not.
00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:24.159
I'm I'm I'm thinking I don't remember it.
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:29.840
Which is embarrassing for Mike because Mike was the project manager for this job, which we for this guy.
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:31.200
It was Ryan.
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:32.480
Ryan.
00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:36.639
Because we had Ryan Holmes.
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:37.679
Oh.
00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:42.879
And Mike was the project manager for the production side of our first company.
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:43.679
Yes, they were.
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:45.919
And and essentially that was Ryan Holmes.
00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:49.279
I mean, we had a few others, but but basically it was 99% Ryan Holmes.
00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:50.480
Yeah, it was, yeah.
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:57.759
So we decided that you would say anything about Ryan, it could be the Ryan Home, the Ryan's.
00:13:58.000 --> 00:13:58.960
Are you with Ryan?
00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:03.200
Like any version that you wanted to say where Ryan was in the sentence.
00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:10.960
That's that was basically like, hey, can we talk in private, or are you in private, or is someone around you that doesn't need to hear this, or whatever?
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:11.919
That was our code.
00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:16.240
And so we used that for a couple of years.
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:17.679
Now that's interesting.
00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:20.000
Yeah.
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:23.759
Oh, that's right.
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:27.679
It was like it was like talking on a yeah, um, on a speakerphone.
00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:28.399
Oh, yeah.
00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:30.799
Because it just it just blasted out of your speaker.
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:31.679
And I don't know.
00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:34.559
Like it was really cool construction.
00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:37.120
It was far and away its biggest, biggest thing.
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:38.879
No, nothing was even close.
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:42.639
The other thing that people liked a lot was like for families for like little kids.
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:46.559
Because you could get the phone and just have the next hell number, but not a phone number.
00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:49.039
Oh, for like the kids to have that, that right.
00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:56.240
So they would take that and you know, people that didn't want to have their their kids have a phone, they just gave them the next hell.
00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:59.519
So now they could still communicate with their friends if they all had next hells.
00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:01.840
Like you just needed the that five-digit number.
00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:06.639
But that was a good way to you could you do group on that?
00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:07.919
You could, couldn't you?
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:09.919
Like, like multi-person.
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:12.559
Mike?
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:14.080
I think so.
00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:18.240
I think like if you had two kids, yeah, I think you could do that.
00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:21.120
I don't I don't remember, but I I think you could do that.
00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:22.480
So that was that was it.
00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:31.519
But then Sprint bought it, and I you know, I don't exactly know why it just it was like gone.
00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:32.559
Just disappeared.
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:34.720
I think it was again the iPhone.
00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:37.759
I think the iPhone made it so easy to text.
00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:45.519
Because if you had a flip phone, remember you had you had a page and you had to use A, B, B.
00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:48.480
Yeah, press one three times for C.
00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:50.159
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:52.559
I think it was texting that probably killed it.
00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:53.279
Texting.
00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:55.120
Texting SMS took over, I think.
00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:56.399
Yeah, yeah, that's right.
00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:06.879
With a with a with a you know a touchpad, you know, screen full, you know, QWERTY keypad on keyboard on your screen.
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:09.679
You could just and texting, I think, just took off.
00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:11.440
I I think that's right.
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:27.360
I I actually struggle I know we need to start doing this, but I actually struggle with um remembering exactly when texting I I can't actually pinpoint exactly when texting started.
00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:35.200
I mean it is it is it around 2007, six, I think so.
00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:36.399
Is that about right?
00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:38.399
Yeah, I think so.
00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:41.360
That's around when I got like a flip phone.
00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:45.200
Um and yeah, you did the whole one, two, three, one, two, three.
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:49.279
It was and then originally it wasn't texting, it was like messaging, right?
00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:52.559
Wasn't it called it was it called messaging originally?
00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:55.919
Yeah, well, there was eye messaging, but uh or just messaging.
00:16:56.399 --> 00:16:58.320
Oh, there was iMessaging.
00:16:58.559 --> 00:16:59.279
That's right.
00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:00.240
There was.
00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:12.400
But I think before that, like you had remember the the first, well, there was flip phones, and then there was the phone that you would turn like in the landscape mode, yeah, and and the thing would pop up and you'd have the whole keyboard there.
00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:15.680
Oh, that was like a like a Nokia Juper or something.
00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:18.319
Yeah, they remember that they had that for a while.
00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:20.960
Yeah, and then the Blackberry came out.
00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:28.160
And the Blackberry had like it was fatter, but it had the screen and the whole keyboard.
00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:29.839
Yeah, the whole keyboard, yeah.
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:34.960
And then oh my god, we had I flipped out when the Blackberry came out.
00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:36.400
Like everyone had one at the time.
00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:40.480
The Blackberry was popular, the crackberry is what they were called.
00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:52.000
And because that was the first time that people started to get addicted to texting, it's it's hard to imagine anybody not being addicted to texting right now in today's world.
00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:58.319
But the back then, that was like the first time, and not everybody had it.
00:17:58.480 --> 00:17:59.519
That was the other thing.
00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:02.880
Yeah, like uh you know, name one person in your life.
00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:07.440
I actually know one person in my life that I went to high school with that does not have a phone, has never had a phone.
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:13.039
Yes, yes, still to this day, still to well, as of a year ago, as of you, yeah.
00:18:13.519 --> 00:18:18.640
You have to email his wife if you want to get in touch with him, uh, or or his wife on or his daughter on Facebook.
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:24.000
Uh but uh you know, back then not everybody had it.
00:18:24.400 --> 00:18:33.920
So it was kind of like COVID in a way, like it was uh, you know, it like when COVID started, it's it's kind of like, well, okay, yeah, there's some sick people.
00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:37.279
But not everybody, you know, it didn't touch everybody.
00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:46.400
It was back then, like you when you texted or or I messaged or messaging or whatever, you're like, well, I mean, that's cool, but I can't text Andrew.
00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:49.599
He doesn't have a you know, he doesn't have a texting device or whatever.
00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:52.880
So like, you know, all right, nice, um whatever.
00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:55.039
Like it's it's kind of a novelty.
00:18:55.359 --> 00:19:05.039
But then as it sort of that that uh what did they say with COVID when you got uh like so many people it's called uh hurt effect or what's that thing called?
00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:13.519
They were talking about like when a certain percentage of the population got it, it was um oh, what's it called?
00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:35.200
I can't remember what the dang term is, but anyways, it was like once there was uh critical mass, you know, sure, then all of a sudden it shifts from not everybody has it to let's just say it's 70% or 80%.
00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:39.200
Now 80% of people have it, so the other 20% of people have to get it.
00:19:39.359 --> 00:19:39.599
Right.
00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:43.759
Because it's so many people because every now you have to communicate that way.
00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:48.000
As before it was a novelty, it was cool to communicate that way.
00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:50.640
Now, like what do you mean you don't text?
00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:52.400
Yeah, what do you mean I can't text you?
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:55.759
I'm not gonna call you all right.
00:19:55.839 --> 00:19:59.759
Yeah, we go off in the maybe it's I go off in these things.
00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:02.960
Well, it's fun to fun to recall these things.
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:05.359
It is it's very fun to recall these things.
00:20:05.599 --> 00:20:07.440
It's a shared experience, you know.
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:10.640
And and us trying, you know, us trying to explain it to Andrew.
00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:13.519
It is amazing that you don't know what Nextel is.
00:20:13.839 --> 00:20:15.920
Oh, it's not even that long ago.
00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:19.440
Yeah, and it doesn't seem like that long ago to Mark and I.
00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:20.720
It's just you know four years ago.
00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:27.759
To me, I'm like, what the actually when in our first company, Custom Home Integrations, doing this, that's what we all had.
00:20:28.079 --> 00:20:30.160
Well, that's where Ryan, the Ryan code went.
00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:31.440
That's right.
00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:32.000
That's right.
00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:33.119
That's what we all had.
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:35.519
That's how we all communicated on the job sites and stuff.
00:20:35.599 --> 00:20:38.000
And yeah, and I've never dealt with that.
00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:40.319
All right.
00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:45.680
Um, one little one last little thing that we can with Nextel.
00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:47.759
I I was uh I was a sales rep at Ryan.
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:55.440
I was working in Harbor Cove right on on uh Williamson Road, and I decided that I was too addicted to my phone.
00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:59.200
And I said, uh, okay, I'm gonna go a month.
00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:00.319
I'm gonna turn the phone.
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:01.759
It was actually Nextel phone.
00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:03.680
I said, I'm gonna turn the phone off for a month.
00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:06.400
I'm gonna see if I can live with a month without the phone.
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:14.079
So I literally put the phone in the office desk drawer in the model in on in Harbor Cove and I turned the service off.
00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:16.480
I called him and I was like, Yeah, I want to turn my service off.
00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:21.839
And once they stopped laughing, uh and I I did.
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:23.599
I went 30 days without the phone.
00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:24.640
And how was it?
00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:32.880
You know, I it actually um it was now this is let's call this 2008 no, it was before that.
00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:34.799
It was but probably early 2000s.
00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:39.680
Uh so it was not as you know, like necessary, yeah.
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:43.359
But uh but it was inconvenient uh because of Nextel and stuff.
00:21:43.519 --> 00:21:47.200
Uh and so I after about a week, it was kind of nice.
00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:50.480
Like I I really I didn't have any distractions.
00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:56.720
I didn't have and and at the end of the month when I turned it back on, I wasn't like dying to turn it back on.
00:21:57.359 --> 00:21:59.359
I I did turn it back on, obviously.
00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:05.599
But and and for a couple days it was I didn't use it nearly as much and then you know then I'm back into it.
00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:08.880
Nowadays, God, like everything you do is on there.
00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:18.559
You like drop it for five minutes and yeah, can I say and this is me, and I I think it's every well, it's not everybody.
00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:19.759
I think it's a lot of people.
00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:20.880
It's definitely me.
00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:22.640
I can't like leave the room without it.
00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:29.279
Like if I leave the room and I recognize that I don't have my phone, I walk back and find my phone.
00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:32.000
Yeah, we were just talking about this, and I totally agree.
00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:33.039
I'm the same way.
00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:35.680
It's you it's almost like I feel naked.
00:22:35.759 --> 00:22:36.640
Like, what is it?
00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:40.160
No, it's it's true, because it's it's it's F O M A.
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:41.200
It's fear missing out.
00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:48.079
It's exactly for me, you know, during the day, it's like uh did somebody call?
00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:49.759
Is one of the guys looking for me?
00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:52.240
Is you know, is our client looking for me?
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:56.640
And then in the evenings, it's like what's on what's on Facebook?
00:22:56.799 --> 00:22:57.759
What's on WhatsApp?
00:22:58.400 --> 00:22:58.799
Exactly.
00:22:59.279 --> 00:23:01.359
Um what's on Instagram?
00:23:01.519 --> 00:23:04.079
You know, I want the stats of the game I'm watching.
00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:08.240
I want, you know, uh oh my gosh, it just goes on and on and on.
00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:14.799
And now, now I'm uh like it's almost chat exclusively.
00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:17.359
I don't care what I'm doing.
00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:22.480
I mean, uh taking a picture of the cappuccino machine to tell have it tell me how to do it.
00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:30.480
Uh, you know, um I I'm I'm even thinking about a song or something like what what is that song?
00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:36.559
And I just hum the stuff into it, and it find it's just crazy the stuff you can do.
00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:37.440
Crazy.
00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:41.440
So, all right, let's get into this, Michael Dowd.
00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:42.880
Okay, okay.
00:23:43.519 --> 00:23:45.039
So, Andrew set it up.
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:47.519
What are we tell us what we're gonna do here?
00:23:47.759 --> 00:24:43.920
So, far enough in, I I do not understand.
00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:48.400
Well, I mean, I I'm just I could say I do not understand dot dot dot, and then we could just end it.
00:24:48.559 --> 00:25:32.319
But if you wanted to get specific not that specific, um I don't understand why I guess you have to have that kind of money to even people that like have so much um I don't even know if this is probably not even analogous, but like I've always thought the reason there's this huge drug problem in like uh music or and or like athletics is because you give these people in a lot of cases that don't really have any kind of education, you know, they have an extreme talent, but they have no education.
00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:39.359
You give them like a ton of money that that they they actually can spend all of and do.
00:25:39.680 --> 00:25:40.160
They do, yeah.
00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:43.599
But they but they don't think they can.
00:25:43.680 --> 00:25:52.319
And and you know, you buy a car or 10, and then you buy a house or four or ten, and then you still have money left over, and what do you do?
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:59.039
So you find something that is really expensive that you have to keep buying.
00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:03.519
Like drugs, the the you know, the thing about them is you they're expensive.
00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:04.799
Well, I actually don't even know what they're expecting.
00:26:05.440 --> 00:26:06.400
Expensive and addictive.
00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:10.799
And addictive, and they run out, and then you gotta buy them again and again and again and again.
00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:18.000
And so I don't so I think there's all kinds of like way too much money spent on stuff.
00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:24.880
But but now if you get these guys, it's primarily guys, although that the his what I don't what was she?
00:26:24.960 --> 00:26:25.440
What is she?
00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:31.279
She's not his girlfriend, he's kind of his vice president, whatever.
00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:39.359
You get these people that have so much money that they I like where do you start?
00:26:39.599 --> 00:26:46.400
When do you go, you know, and you and you talk about like young kids, like where does that come in?
00:26:46.640 --> 00:26:50.000
Well, you know, they say this happens a lot with like child actors too.
00:26:50.160 --> 00:27:07.359
It's again people without a lot of education or life experience, you're throwing all this money at them, inviting them to all these parties, like now you're like in the group, you know, and that's I feel like where it becomes a trap when you start getting in that party scene, because with parties comes favors.
00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:19.440
I'm not naive that I don't agree with that, but I I I don't know where the young I I just don't understand.
00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:22.880
I don't know why are you doing drugs?
00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:27.200
And the whole I'm I'm hung up on the young kid part.
00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:34.559
Like I'm very hung up on that because I mean I'm I it I just don't understand.
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:35.839
I don't understand.
00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:38.880
Misguidance, trying to fit in, be cool.
00:27:39.279 --> 00:27:40.480
Oh no, I'm not talking about the kids.
00:27:40.559 --> 00:27:41.279
I'm talking about the adult.
00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:42.720
I'm talking about Jeffrey Epstein.
00:27:42.880 --> 00:28:11.359
Oh I'm talking about like the the adults, the people in that world that own islands and and whatnot, and they and I mean he's you know incredibly successful and he and and what has everything in the world that he but what is it about the whole you know young um people thing that is like it's attracting them?
00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:11.920
Yes.
00:28:12.079 --> 00:28:14.799
Well why when do you go?
00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:17.599
I mean, it's just sick to even think about.
00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:18.720
Like, when do you go?
00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:25.359
Oh well, you know, here you know, I don't I don't like the 30-year-old woman or man or whatever.
00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:27.920
Like I I don't know.
00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:29.279
Well, it's awful.
00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:40.319
I feel like with that too, it's like the whole power dynamic, too, of feeding off the the weak younger kids who are a little naive, show them a good time, then all of a sudden they're yours.
00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:41.839
You've trapped them.
00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:48.319
Or they've got them totally addicted to drugs, and now they are like under their spell.
00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:52.079
It is, man, there is there is definitely a devil in the world.
00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:52.960
Oh yes.
00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:54.880
There's definitely a devil in the world.
00:28:54.960 --> 00:28:58.559
Uh Man Oh man, oh, it's yeah, it's awful.
00:28:58.799 --> 00:28:59.279
It is awful.
00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:02.799
I there is a there was a um there was an audio video company.
00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:04.240
They're they're no longer around.
00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:06.640
Um they sold, so they were they they did fun.
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:13.839
But they had like uh five or six locations, and they had their shipping location was right outside of Raleigh's in Durham.
00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:16.960
And they had a warehouse and a you know, office space.
00:29:17.039 --> 00:29:17.440
Yeah.
00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:25.200
And they would they would get uh like a tractor trailer uh a week or well, no, actually, probably a little more.
00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:34.000
This is when TVs were huge and big boxes and stuff, and so they'd be and the buyer, uh, old friend of mine, he he said, he told me the story one time.
00:29:34.160 --> 00:29:57.599
He goes, Well, he goes, Let me tell you, um talking about um, and he was Jewish, and and he goes, but talking about like good and evil in the world, uh so we have a um a strip mall that um that we own and we rent out you know, like our stores in one of the things, then we rent out the rest of it.
00:29:57.680 --> 00:29:58.319
Yeah.
00:29:58.640 --> 00:30:02.319
And one of the places was a Christian bookstore.
00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:10.640
And he said the Christian bookstore would come on January 1st and pay their rent in cash for the year every year.
00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:12.640
Oh cash?
00:30:12.799 --> 00:30:13.200
That's weird.
00:30:13.359 --> 00:30:13.920
Yeah, that is weird.
00:30:14.079 --> 00:30:16.960
But even okay, so there's the cash thing, or you're gonna pay taxes.
00:30:17.039 --> 00:30:17.359
I get that.
00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:24.960
But uh, but just the if you just stay with the they have enough money to pay the whole year on January 1st, right?
00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:32.640
And he said, and the other where so they're in this, uh they were in like an industrial place like uh like this, but just bigger building.
00:30:32.799 --> 00:30:40.000
And he goes, the uh the other warehouse in this building uh is Adam and Eve.
00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:43.119
Oh, like now this is like there's no signage.
00:30:43.200 --> 00:30:44.799
This is just like like coming in here.
00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:47.200
Like there's no so Adam and Eve.
00:30:47.279 --> 00:31:00.480
So to give you an idea, we get like one or two semis a week for our product to service, you know, the oh no, it was a day.
00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:01.200
It was a day.
00:31:01.359 --> 00:31:05.839
We get one to two semis a day to service our six stores.
00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:10.960
They get 10 to 12 a day.
00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:13.279
Adam and Eve a day.
00:31:13.440 --> 00:31:17.440
And and he goes, Wow, and and again, this is back in the 90s.
00:31:17.599 --> 00:31:22.640
So he was like, now imagine like we have huge TVs, big box TVs.
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:27.200
So you'd imagine what a semi- now that's not the only thing they have, but they have a lot of boxes, it's the same stuff we get.
00:31:27.279 --> 00:31:29.039
Yeah, so a lot of boxes.
00:31:29.359 --> 00:31:31.279
They don't have real big boxes.
00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:39.920
No, those little tiny undies and the handcuffs don't take a lot of 10 to 12 a day every day.
00:31:40.160 --> 00:31:40.640
Wow.
00:31:43.039 --> 00:31:46.160
Yeah, so you said, yeah, that's the there's the good and evil in the world, anyways.
00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:48.160
Adam and Eve.
00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:50.880
Probably shouldn't add this to any of the bloopers.
00:31:51.119 --> 00:31:54.240
Um okay, where are we going, Andrew?
00:31:54.559 --> 00:31:55.920
Glasses are on, I'm ready to go.
00:31:56.079 --> 00:32:00.880
Do you want to start with the 15 years of sound vision?
00:32:01.119 --> 00:32:01.519
Yes.
00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:04.880
Talk just like you were talking to me a second ago.
00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:07.039
Like exactly the same way.
00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:07.759
Just do that.
00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:08.799
Because this will be good.
00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:10.160
This is a good back and forth.
00:32:10.319 --> 00:32:11.680
All right, let's do it.
00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:12.640
All right.
00:32:12.880 --> 00:32:14.640
We're gonna try to follow this.
00:32:14.960 --> 00:32:20.160
Um, I need you to kind of I I can't I try to look at that, but it's I can't really see it great.
00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:23.759
So, I mean, I could probably do watch it.
00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:28.400
I'll do a stopwatch on here just so we're we're watching it.
00:32:28.640 --> 00:32:33.920
Michelle was okay with the website on Monday.
00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:36.319
So I did just talk to her.
00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:37.440
I know, I did too.
00:32:38.799 --> 00:32:46.480
So we're gonna try uh either the end of the day, Friday, because she said the morning she's gonna have a lot of meetings on Fridays and catching up.
00:32:46.640 --> 00:32:52.400
Um, and if not Monday, we'll go because we have to get the domain transfer and there's a lot of like just important.
00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:54.079
Password reset.
00:32:54.400 --> 00:32:54.640
Yeah.
00:32:54.880 --> 00:32:58.000
She told me, she said we'll be in on Friday, so we're gonna do it on Friday.
00:32:58.160 --> 00:32:59.119
Okay, cool.
00:32:59.359 --> 00:33:01.440
All right, so I'm gonna be watching as well.
00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:04.319
All right, let's so there's gonna be back and forth, Andrew.
00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:07.759
All right, not just a back, there's a back and a fourth.
00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:09.359
Alright.
00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:13.759
Okay.
00:33:14.880 --> 00:33:18.240
Fifteen years of sound vision.
00:33:18.559 --> 00:33:22.480
What an incredible No, I don't like that, no.
00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:24.400
That was actually pretty good.
00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:24.960
Okay.
00:33:25.200 --> 00:33:28.880
All right, I'm gonna go to stop and reset and start.
00:33:30.640 --> 00:34:43.920
All right, my three and three buddy is in here today.
00:34:45.199 --> 00:34:48.239
That's ridiculous, and it doesn't make any sense.
00:34:48.880 --> 00:34:49.280
Yeah.
00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:49.760
Yeah.
00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:54.719
Um Houston saved me from being in the bottom of the barrel by myself.
00:34:55.360 --> 00:35:04.079
So uh I actually I only I I did watch the Panthers game, and then I watched parts of the other games.
00:35:04.159 --> 00:35:07.280
I think I saw the end well, I definitely saw the end of the Buffalo game.
00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:10.320
I definitely saw the end of the Philly San Francisco game.
00:35:10.480 --> 00:35:17.920
Uh I did not see one second of the Patriot uh uh game, which was awesome because it sucked.
00:35:18.159 --> 00:35:22.719
Yes, and then except for one sack was absolutely amazing.
00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:29.360
The guy came right through the middle, wrapped up Herbert, nobody was around, wrapped up, slammed him to the ground.
00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:32.000
Like it was it was a pinnacle sack.
00:35:32.159 --> 00:35:34.000
That was the best point of that game.
00:35:34.239 --> 00:35:36.400
Throwing him around like a ragdoll.
00:35:36.639 --> 00:35:38.960
Yes, Rocky Four reference.
00:35:39.599 --> 00:35:43.360
Um yeah, so I like the last night.
00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:48.400
The I I I was watching the hurricanes, and then after before going to bed, I was watching a whole football game.
00:35:48.719 --> 00:35:50.239
It was not even like a game.
00:35:50.400 --> 00:35:52.480
I mean, the Steelers suck.
00:35:52.719 --> 00:35:53.679
They're terrible.
00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:56.000
I mean, I thought the Panthers are Panthers are terrible.
00:35:56.079 --> 00:35:57.280
No offense, Panthers.
00:35:57.440 --> 00:36:06.639
But the but uh like we're mildly they're just not maybe they're good, but not competitive with Houston, because it was embarrassing.
00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:09.039
The only reason Houston won was their defense.
00:36:09.119 --> 00:36:11.519
Their offense did absolutely nothing last night.
00:36:11.760 --> 00:36:25.679
Well, and we were so so we watch so I watch the all the Keynes games, and we have a group chat with about six or seven of us, and one of us, one of the guys is a buddy of mine from high school, college, and he's just a humongous football fan.
00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:27.280
Also a huge cage fan.
00:36:27.440 --> 00:36:31.360
So, like during the the Keynes chat, he goes, by the way, football update.
00:36:31.599 --> 00:36:35.360
And he says, I'm sorry, uh, it's shit.
00:36:35.440 --> 00:36:36.159
I just forgot his name.
00:36:36.239 --> 00:36:37.840
Who's the quarterback for Houston?
00:36:38.159 --> 00:36:41.679
For Houston is um oh god, the guy we were supposed to draft.
00:36:41.760 --> 00:36:42.400
Yeah.
00:36:43.039 --> 00:36:45.039
Uh Michael Pennick, I know he's in Atlanta.
00:36:45.119 --> 00:36:48.800
I'm trying to think of um Sh uh sh no, not Schau.
00:36:49.440 --> 00:36:50.719
From Ohio State.
00:36:51.039 --> 00:36:52.639
Whatever his name is, doesn't matter.
00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:53.440
Good matter.
00:36:53.920 --> 00:36:59.679
He's like uh he's uh he's fumbled four times, he's lost two of them, he's throwing an interception.
00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:02.960
I'm like, wow! Well, at least it's exciting.
00:37:03.280 --> 00:37:06.880
They're his center was throwing the ball willy-nilly.
00:37:07.039 --> 00:37:09.039
Like a lot of the fumbles were not him.
00:37:09.199 --> 00:37:09.599
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:37:10.320 --> 00:37:10.719
What are those?
00:37:10.960 --> 00:37:13.599
At one point he was standing there and the ball came winging past his head.
00:37:13.679 --> 00:37:15.679
He wasn't even like doing a count.
00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:16.880
Oh my gosh.
00:37:17.119 --> 00:37:18.480
Anyways, yes.
00:37:18.880 --> 00:37:20.960
That's not what we're in here for, uh, Andrew.
00:37:21.519 --> 00:37:23.599
You need to you need to take control, big dog.
00:37:25.840 --> 00:37:27.920
Not let us just go willy-nilly.
00:37:28.159 --> 00:37:30.239
Throwing him around like a ragdoll.
00:37:30.559 --> 00:37:31.440
You're having fun.
00:37:31.599 --> 00:37:33.199
Have you seen Rocky Four?
00:37:33.840 --> 00:37:35.519
You've never seen Rocky Four?
00:37:35.920 --> 00:37:36.239
No.
00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:38.320
Would is it?
00:37:41.360 --> 00:37:43.360
It probably was not no, no, no.
00:37:43.440 --> 00:37:46.079
It's that I'm gonna say something, and I know I'm wrong when I say it.
00:37:46.239 --> 00:37:52.719
It is not the movie that brought into basically a movie is just a uh music video.
00:37:53.440 --> 00:38:02.079
Because there was a lot of 80s movies, Breakfast Club and stuff like that, where the music is not only integral, it was like almost like you were watching a video during the movie.
00:38:02.320 --> 00:38:03.199
It's the montage.
00:38:03.920 --> 00:38:04.880
It's the montage, yes.
00:38:04.960 --> 00:38:22.880
Yes, but I think Rocky IV took it to like a completely different level because I can't remember another movie before it that it was essentially like 70 to 80 percent of the movie is played behind music that you know makes it feel like it's a video.
00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:24.000
Is that fair?
00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:26.559
I'm trying to remember which one four is.
00:38:26.800 --> 00:38:28.719
Uh Ivan Drago, I must be.
00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:29.519
That's four?
00:38:29.679 --> 00:38:30.320
Yeah, that's four.
00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:35.280
Yes, I agree wholeheartedly that was the greatest montage in the history of 80s movies.
00:38:35.519 --> 00:38:38.480
And if you and that is a workout scene, at least worth seeing.
00:38:38.639 --> 00:38:46.239
Man, I don't you know what's funny about that movie, and since you haven't seen this, Andrew, and you're looking like you're so interested in me about to tell you this.
00:38:47.039 --> 00:38:55.840
In that movie, one of the one of the the sort of the things, it was very political, and one of the things was Avendrago, um, Dolph Lundgren is Russian.
00:38:56.079 --> 00:39:01.440
And behind the scenes, the it's like he's taking steroids, but like they're saying he's all natural and everything, right?
00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:06.320
And then there's this one scene where they have like a needle and it's going into his arm, you know, like the needle steroid thing.
00:39:06.559 --> 00:39:14.159
And I'm thinking, that's hilarious because Stallone's been on steroids for like 65 years.
00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:17.440
Talk about hypocritical.
00:39:19.840 --> 00:39:22.800
So, and another little one aside that we gotta move on.
00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:26.800
But um, in that movie, one thing that did happen, I don't know if you know this.
00:39:27.840 --> 00:39:30.800
Uh Dolph Lundgren actually knocked out Stallone.
00:39:30.880 --> 00:39:33.519
He had to go to the hospital, was in the hospital for like a week or two or something.
00:39:33.760 --> 00:39:34.559
I did know that, yep.
00:39:34.800 --> 00:39:36.079
He hit him so hard.
00:39:36.320 --> 00:39:39.039
He hit him so hard, he literally knocked him out.
00:39:39.199 --> 00:39:39.920
Damn.
00:39:41.440 --> 00:39:41.760
Okay.
00:39:43.280 --> 00:39:43.920
Damn.
00:39:44.320 --> 00:39:46.400
Get control of this train, Andrew.
00:39:46.880 --> 00:39:52.320
I feel like there's like two people in this company you can get control of, Mark, and you're not one of them.
00:39:53.519 --> 00:39:54.719
That is not true.
00:39:55.440 --> 00:39:57.119
Which one are we doing first?
00:39:57.440 --> 00:40:00.480
Uh let's start with lighting control and lighting design.
00:40:00.719 --> 00:40:04.000
Andrew sounds way excited right now.
00:40:04.239 --> 00:40:04.480
Yes.
00:40:04.800 --> 00:40:06.000
Yes, can't you tell?
00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:07.119
I can.
00:40:10.320 --> 00:40:12.159
Um, okay.
00:40:12.960 --> 00:40:16.639
This seems like a rushed endeavor.
00:40:16.880 --> 00:40:18.159
A rushed endeavor.
00:40:18.480 --> 00:40:23.679
Because I was brought into this this morning, and then 15 minutes ago, Michelle didn't like the content.
00:40:23.760 --> 00:40:30.000
So it just it to me, it just seems like this is a not ready situation if I've ever seen one.
00:40:30.239 --> 00:40:31.440
Oh, we're just gonna do one.
00:40:31.519 --> 00:40:33.599
We'll just do one, see how it goes.
00:40:35.519 --> 00:40:35.840
Okay.
00:40:36.480 --> 00:40:40.400
We're just in the boys' club room right now.
00:40:41.280 --> 00:40:42.000
Dog pound.
00:40:46.400 --> 00:40:47.840
Metro Bistro.
00:40:48.239 --> 00:40:48.800
Oh god.
00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:58.000
Okay, so we're gonna discuss today the difference between lighting control and lighting design.
00:40:58.480 --> 00:41:00.400
Um, some key points.
00:41:00.719 --> 00:41:08.880
We have so basically it's focusing on um fixtures.
00:41:09.440 --> 00:41:10.719
Yeah, no, no, we got it.
00:41:10.880 --> 00:41:11.519
We're good.
00:41:11.760 --> 00:41:13.039
Just let us roll.
00:41:13.679 --> 00:41:16.000
Let's talk lighting then, guys.
00:42:44.239 --> 00:42:45.440
Most women do this.
00:42:45.920 --> 00:42:48.239
Um, they like to put on lotion.
00:42:48.800 --> 00:42:50.800
It's a lotion thing.
00:42:51.360 --> 00:42:59.519
And you know, that could be hand lotion, that could be like in Chris's case, when we we have this joke about my legs are ashy.
00:42:59.840 --> 00:43:00.480
That's a thing.
00:43:00.719 --> 00:43:01.360
Yeah, that's a thing.
00:43:02.400 --> 00:43:07.519
So she she puts lotion on her legs, and I I don't know why.
00:43:07.920 --> 00:43:16.639
Like, I didn't mean to do this, but in a closed space, like a car, and you're putting lotion on, I literally get an instant headache.
00:43:16.719 --> 00:43:18.719
And I don't get headaches very often at all.
00:43:18.800 --> 00:43:21.199
Um, truth, I mean, God, thank you.
00:43:21.360 --> 00:43:26.480
Uh I don't get headaches, but man, it like it's a scented lotion?
00:43:27.679 --> 00:43:37.039
This was uh this was uh the the most recent one, yes, but the most recent one was um uh uh not not suntan lotion, um sunscreen.
00:43:38.719 --> 00:43:40.000
Even that smell gives you a headache?
00:43:40.239 --> 00:43:40.960
Not usually.
00:43:41.199 --> 00:43:48.639
I actually like that smell, but yeah, oh my god, and she gets so well it no, it not not a headache.
00:43:48.880 --> 00:43:50.079
Let's see by the end of the podcast.
00:43:50.239 --> 00:43:51.119
Oh my god, yeah.
00:43:51.360 --> 00:43:53.840
If we get if we get real short.
00:43:55.519 --> 00:43:59.119
But the like uh she gets mad.
00:44:00.719 --> 00:44:03.280
Well, she literally gets mad at me for getting headed.
00:44:06.880 --> 00:44:07.119
Oh no.
00:44:07.679 --> 00:44:08.719
The dramatics.
00:44:09.519 --> 00:44:10.400
Dude drama.
00:44:10.800 --> 00:44:12.320
We call it dude drama.
00:44:12.639 --> 00:44:15.360
That would be a good that'd be a good channel to listen to.
00:44:17.679 --> 00:44:18.320
Dude drama.
00:44:19.440 --> 00:44:21.039
You know, sports, for example.
00:44:21.199 --> 00:44:23.039
Again, that that is not being chauvinistic.
00:44:23.119 --> 00:44:29.199
I know there's plenty of women that that in fact you may be one that that are very um invested in sports.
00:44:29.360 --> 00:44:47.280
But in general, in general speaking, uh, or let me not say in general speaking, in my family speaking, the the the average woman is not um the only interest they have in sports is the fact that they can go shopping um and we're for New Jersey.
00:44:47.760 --> 00:44:49.679
Well, no, no, no, not for the sport, not for the sport.
00:44:50.800 --> 00:44:54.559
They can go shopping because we'll we're watching sports, and so they're like, we can get away.
00:44:54.639 --> 00:44:57.119
It's like it's like a release.
00:44:57.440 --> 00:44:58.880
That's the only care they have.
00:44:59.199 --> 00:45:06.159
But when we're watching uh sports, um yeah, she'll she'll say, Man, yeah, that's dude drama.
00:45:06.320 --> 00:45:10.960
Because again, I understand it's not everybody, but in our family it is.
00:45:11.039 --> 00:45:14.639
And they're like, Man, it'd be nice if you were passionate about other stuff.
00:45:14.800 --> 00:45:19.039
Anyway, so we're back to the getting on the fight of the uh of the lotion.
00:45:19.199 --> 00:45:20.320
Yeah, the lotion.
00:45:20.719 --> 00:45:23.920
And she always does that too, if you haven't seen Silence of the Lambs.
00:45:24.159 --> 00:45:28.079
He rubs the lotion on I don't think I've seen that one.
00:45:28.239 --> 00:45:30.159
You've never seen Silence of the Lambs?
00:45:30.400 --> 00:45:31.280
I don't think so.
00:45:31.519 --> 00:45:33.760
Holy You've seen Silence of the Lambs.
00:45:34.000 --> 00:45:35.280
Many, many years ago.
00:45:35.920 --> 00:45:37.360
Oh, I thought you were gonna say many times.
00:45:37.599 --> 00:45:39.039
No, it's your favorite movie.
00:45:39.280 --> 00:45:41.280
That actually is one of Chris's favorite movies.
00:45:41.440 --> 00:45:45.840
And the dude Yeah, and the dude that is um uh Buffalo Bob.
00:45:46.639 --> 00:45:50.639
Uh that guy was the I'm dating myself.
00:45:50.800 --> 00:45:51.679
Do you know who Monk?
00:45:51.840 --> 00:45:53.119
Do you know the show Monk?
00:45:54.000 --> 00:45:56.079
You never saw Tony Shaloub?
00:45:56.320 --> 00:45:56.480
No.
00:45:56.800 --> 00:45:58.000
No, the name sounds familiar.
00:45:58.239 --> 00:45:59.440
It's a cool little detective.
00:45:59.519 --> 00:46:02.800
It's funny, and it's like murder mystery kind of, but funny.
00:46:02.960 --> 00:46:08.400
And the the guy that's the uh um Buffalo Bob is the uh is the police chief in the show.
00:46:08.639 --> 00:46:09.119
No one there.
00:46:09.519 --> 00:46:12.880
So yeah, anyway, so we're way off topic already.
00:46:13.199 --> 00:46:13.679
It's okay.
00:46:13.760 --> 00:46:16.000
We're does this scent is it too strong?
00:46:16.239 --> 00:46:23.039
I what I what happened, Andrew, so that you're no you know you're in on the the secret or the joke, is I came in yesterday.
00:46:23.199 --> 00:46:23.679
Nobody was here.
00:46:23.760 --> 00:46:26.400
I I came in, it was either first or maybe somebody was in the back.
00:46:26.559 --> 00:46:27.039
I know the answer.
00:46:27.199 --> 00:46:32.880
And I noticed that I was like, wow, this place just smells like perfume.
00:46:34.239 --> 00:46:37.679
And so when Sydney came up, by the way.
00:46:38.079 --> 00:46:39.760
Hello, Sydney!
00:46:40.480 --> 00:46:42.000
How you're gonna open up the podcast?
00:46:42.960 --> 00:46:43.519
Oh, 100%.
00:46:44.079 --> 00:46:46.400
In fact, it should be a button, like like Eric's button.
00:46:47.840 --> 00:46:49.760
That's ridiculous, and it doesn't make any sense.
00:46:50.000 --> 00:46:51.440
Yeah, he has his own button.
00:46:51.679 --> 00:46:52.880
Got his own button.
00:46:53.360 --> 00:47:01.760
Uh Sydney came up to the conference room and we were talking, and I was like, it it's either, in fact, ironic.
00:47:01.920 --> 00:47:05.840
It's either you, your perfume, or Eric's.
00:47:05.920 --> 00:47:09.199
I'm not sure which one, but it's not either.
00:47:09.440 --> 00:47:11.440
This place is new air fresheners.
00:47:11.599 --> 00:47:12.960
Are there really new air fresheners?
00:47:13.119 --> 00:47:13.440
Yes.
00:47:13.599 --> 00:47:14.079
Oh, wait.
00:47:14.800 --> 00:47:17.360
There's one sitting here and there's one up front.
00:47:17.679 --> 00:47:18.639
The tall ones, yes.
00:47:19.039 --> 00:47:20.400
And they are nice and strong.
00:47:20.639 --> 00:47:22.159
It is not strong.
00:47:23.119 --> 00:47:24.480
They're nice and strong.
00:47:24.800 --> 00:47:25.840
It's neither of us.
00:47:25.920 --> 00:47:26.719
It is the new air.
00:47:27.119 --> 00:47:28.079
Who got the air fresheners?
00:47:28.239 --> 00:47:28.639
I have no idea.
00:47:29.039 --> 00:47:29.599
I think Michelle.
00:47:29.679 --> 00:47:31.360
She always refills those.
00:47:32.079 --> 00:47:41.440
Do you know that when Michelle, when we first hired Michelle, Michelle had worked for two other integrators before.
00:47:41.679 --> 00:47:42.000
Okay.
00:47:42.239 --> 00:47:47.440
And the last one that she worked for, both both dudes are um are a little off.
00:47:47.599 --> 00:47:53.840
Now, I mean, we're all a little off, let's be honest, but uh they're they're a little there's some stories.
00:47:54.000 --> 00:48:07.920
Anyways, uh they care about she she asked if she could buy if I need if if I needed to approve her buying um uh sundries, uh like bathroom products.
00:48:08.079 --> 00:48:10.719
Oh toilet paper, you know, bathroom products.
00:48:10.800 --> 00:48:10.960
Yeah.
00:48:11.360 --> 00:48:13.199
And I was like, what?
00:48:13.440 --> 00:48:14.320
Why are you gonna ask you?
00:48:14.639 --> 00:48:15.199
You asked just do it.
00:48:16.159 --> 00:48:23.840
And because she because she got in trouble uh previously for for purchasing uh bathroom products.
00:48:24.239 --> 00:48:27.440
Supplies for the team to utilize robotically function.
00:48:27.599 --> 00:48:30.159
Yeah, now now I don't know if it's I don't remember if it was toilet paper.
00:48:30.239 --> 00:48:32.800
I think it was more like well, it was just bathroom products in general.
00:48:33.360 --> 00:48:33.760
So tablets.
00:48:33.920 --> 00:48:36.480
I'm like, look, man, we we gotta do that.
00:48:36.639 --> 00:48:37.440
We gotta go over that.
00:48:37.519 --> 00:48:39.119
Like we we got different problems.
00:48:39.360 --> 00:48:40.320
We got a problem.
00:48:41.199 --> 00:48:42.079
So, anyways.
00:48:42.239 --> 00:48:44.079
All right, so you're already in, you got it.
00:48:44.159 --> 00:48:45.679
So the couple couple things.
00:48:46.079 --> 00:48:47.360
No, I don't talk close enough.
00:48:47.599 --> 00:48:49.519
Yeah, you want to get so like this?
00:48:50.320 --> 00:48:51.840
You want to be inside of that?
00:48:52.079 --> 00:48:54.239
Okay, and you hear how it sounds right now?
00:48:54.400 --> 00:48:54.719
Yep.
00:48:54.960 --> 00:48:56.239
And you hear how it sounds right now?
00:48:56.400 --> 00:48:56.719
Yep.
00:48:56.960 --> 00:48:58.159
That's why you want to be here?
00:48:58.559 --> 00:49:03.840
Because that's how it sounds on the radio, or you know, whatever they call that, wherever people are streaming.
00:49:04.000 --> 00:49:05.119
Or now podcasts.
00:49:05.440 --> 00:49:07.360
There's no more radio, it's just podcasts.
00:49:07.599 --> 00:49:08.239
No, there's no more radio.
00:49:08.480 --> 00:49:11.920
It's I so I listen to the radio, but I don't listen to the radio.
00:49:12.000 --> 00:49:15.119
I listen to their podcast once they post it after the show is done.
00:49:15.360 --> 00:49:16.000
There you go.
00:49:16.239 --> 00:49:17.039
Do you really?
00:49:18.480 --> 00:49:20.559
All the radio stations do that now.
00:49:21.840 --> 00:49:22.239
What?
00:49:22.480 --> 00:49:25.599
Yeah, like they'll post their show after it's uh over.
00:49:26.000 --> 00:49:28.159
Like a serious XM type deal?
00:49:28.320 --> 00:49:33.920
Or no, like a like a Mix 107.5 or whatever tier in 10, 99.7 the Fox or something.
00:49:34.400 --> 00:49:35.039
Yeah.
00:49:35.360 --> 00:49:37.840
They why do they even do that?
00:49:38.559 --> 00:49:43.039
Um, so if you miss the show or want to catch up with anything, you can find it.
00:49:43.119 --> 00:49:44.559
And you know, okay, I guess.
00:49:44.639 --> 00:49:52.000
Yeah, we'll have conversations that you may want to go back and listen to, or not or and it's a moneymaker on a separate end.
00:49:52.239 --> 00:49:52.880
Exactly.
00:49:54.960 --> 00:49:56.239
I 100% agree.
00:49:56.320 --> 00:50:09.519
I I don't know how it's a moneymaker exactly, unless you just bringing yeah, more views, listens, and then that can then translate into social media ratings, and then you get dollars from social media, yeah.
00:50:09.679 --> 00:50:10.639
I I guess.
00:50:11.440 --> 00:50:17.039
But but you could argue that if you're listening to the rebroadcast, you're not listening to the live broadcast.
00:50:17.280 --> 00:50:17.519
Correct.
00:50:17.840 --> 00:50:20.880
Because you can only listen to one thing, once live broadcast.
00:50:21.280 --> 00:50:22.559
So, yeah, that's all right.
00:50:22.639 --> 00:50:24.000
Well, that's that's crazy.
00:50:24.159 --> 00:50:26.880
Okay, so we're we've got our where we're gonna talk.
00:50:27.039 --> 00:50:31.840
Yeah, um, you also notice that all the noises pick up.
00:50:32.159 --> 00:50:36.079
Yeah, and it happens pretty regularly, usually by me.
00:50:36.239 --> 00:50:39.360
Uh, but uh you want to just try to minimize that as much as possible.
00:50:39.679 --> 00:50:42.400
Just sit on my hands and don't touch anything.
00:50:42.639 --> 00:50:46.400
Uh and then the other thing is when you screw up, because we all screw up.
00:50:46.559 --> 00:50:46.800
Yep.
00:50:46.880 --> 00:50:48.480
I had to take pauses last time we did this.
00:50:48.559 --> 00:50:50.639
I was like, pause, I need to regroup myself.
00:50:50.960 --> 00:50:53.840
Yep, just pregnant pause it and make it a little uncomfortable.
00:50:54.400 --> 00:50:55.039
Pregnant pause.
00:50:55.199 --> 00:51:00.159
Pregnant pause, yeah, like more than a second, less than five, so that Andrew, it's easier to edit.
00:51:00.639 --> 00:51:01.119
Chop.
00:51:01.360 --> 00:51:03.599
I've never heard that saying before.
00:51:04.159 --> 00:51:05.920
You've never heard of pregnant pause?
00:51:06.159 --> 00:51:06.400
No.
00:51:07.840 --> 00:51:09.760
God, how young are you?
00:51:10.400 --> 00:51:12.320
You have never heard of pregnant pause?
00:51:12.400 --> 00:51:13.599
I've never heard someone say that.
00:51:13.679 --> 00:51:15.039
Yeah, that's we'd make sense.
00:51:15.360 --> 00:51:19.679
It's just awkward, like it's it's just you know, long enough to be awkward.
00:51:20.400 --> 00:51:21.599
Just the loading.
00:51:22.559 --> 00:51:23.119
Yeah.
00:51:23.360 --> 00:51:24.320
So that's it.
00:51:24.559 --> 00:51:25.679
Okay, cool.
00:51:26.000 --> 00:51:26.639
All right.
00:51:27.760 --> 00:51:29.119
I probably should read this.
00:51:29.360 --> 00:51:29.840
Maybe.
00:51:30.079 --> 00:51:37.360
Yeah, just going over kind of introducing Sydney, get a little bit of her background, how she got here, what she does here.
00:51:38.320 --> 00:51:39.440
And yeah.
00:51:39.840 --> 00:51:48.880
Uh oh, one uh uh just so you know, because we'll we'll be talking, and so naturally we would kind of look at each other while we're talking, but you're gonna be talking and I'm gonna be doing this.
00:51:49.119 --> 00:51:49.440
Okay.
00:51:49.599 --> 00:51:52.079
So just act like it's there's no video.
00:51:52.400 --> 00:51:53.760
They don't know that I'm doing that.
00:51:54.320 --> 00:51:55.920
They don't know we're not staring at each other in the channel.
00:51:56.239 --> 00:51:57.440
That's exactly right.
00:51:57.679 --> 00:51:59.280
So don't don't feel that it's weird.
00:51:59.840 --> 00:52:00.960
It's like a little script.
00:52:01.599 --> 00:52:01.760
Yeah.
00:52:02.719 --> 00:52:04.000
I like wrote all my answers now.
00:52:04.159 --> 00:52:04.960
I feel like I was filling out.
00:52:05.280 --> 00:52:06.159
I saw that.
00:52:06.719 --> 00:52:08.000
Just some chicken scratch.
00:52:08.239 --> 00:52:12.079
Anything you do want to talk about, anything you don't want to talk about?
00:52:13.119 --> 00:52:14.239
I don't think so.
00:52:15.039 --> 00:52:16.559
Like literally nothing's off limit.
00:52:16.639 --> 00:52:18.960
I can talk to you about your dad and because I want to hear about that.
00:52:19.280 --> 00:52:19.599
Yeah.
00:52:19.920 --> 00:52:20.559
Okay, cool.
00:52:20.800 --> 00:52:21.760
You should have seen them last night.
00:52:21.840 --> 00:52:23.039
Did you watch the game last night?
00:52:23.519 --> 00:52:24.719
The Tech Auburn game?
00:52:24.800 --> 00:52:27.440
Georgia Tech Auburn baseball.
00:52:27.760 --> 00:52:31.039
No, why no, why would I be watching Georgia Tech and Auburn baseball?
00:52:31.280 --> 00:52:31.599
It's a great.
00:52:31.920 --> 00:52:32.639
Hurricanes were on.
00:52:33.920 --> 00:52:34.239
There we go.
00:52:35.280 --> 00:52:36.159
Um, do you have YouTube TV?
00:52:36.239 --> 00:52:36.960
There's split screen.
00:52:37.199 --> 00:52:37.760
I I do.
00:52:37.920 --> 00:52:39.440
I do, and I like the split screen.
00:52:40.000 --> 00:52:40.159
See?
00:52:40.400 --> 00:52:41.440
Could have been it too.
00:52:41.760 --> 00:52:44.800
But uh okay, here's the obvious question.
00:52:46.079 --> 00:52:47.679
I thought he coached Georgia.
00:52:47.840 --> 00:52:49.440
Why would I be watching Georgia Tech?
00:52:49.679 --> 00:52:51.199
So he did coach at Georgia.
00:52:51.360 --> 00:52:53.519
He was let go about three years ago.
00:52:53.840 --> 00:52:54.159
Okay.
00:52:54.559 --> 00:52:58.400
And now he well, he took a year off because he was still on contract.
00:52:58.639 --> 00:52:59.199
Yes.
00:52:59.440 --> 00:53:04.880
He's still on contract as of this year, and now he's an assistant baseball coach at Georgia Tech.
00:53:05.199 --> 00:53:06.719
Oh, the scandal.
00:53:06.960 --> 00:53:07.440
The drama.
00:53:08.000 --> 00:53:08.880
The dude drama.
00:53:09.519 --> 00:53:10.320
Dude drama.
00:53:10.480 --> 00:53:11.280
There it is.
00:53:11.840 --> 00:53:13.519
Oh, but he was having a ball last night.
00:53:13.599 --> 00:53:15.519
They whooped Auburn's butt.
00:53:15.840 --> 00:53:16.480
Gotcha.
00:53:16.719 --> 00:53:16.880
Okay.
00:53:17.199 --> 00:53:17.920
Run ruled him.
00:53:18.159 --> 00:53:18.960
As an assistant.
00:53:19.119 --> 00:53:20.960
There's a run rule in college?
00:53:21.119 --> 00:53:21.519
Oh, yeah.
00:53:21.599 --> 00:53:23.039
You get 11 runs.
00:53:23.280 --> 00:53:23.679
Really?
00:53:24.079 --> 00:53:24.880
You're up by 11.
00:53:24.960 --> 00:53:26.400
You have to agree to- There's a mercy rule.
00:53:26.800 --> 00:53:29.119
You have to agree to it before the game starts.
00:53:29.760 --> 00:53:30.639
You have to agree.
00:53:30.960 --> 00:53:31.599
You have to agree.
00:53:31.760 --> 00:53:34.239
You would be like, are we going to play run rule?
00:53:34.320 --> 00:53:35.199
Yes or no?
00:53:35.679 --> 00:53:36.559
It is a big thing.
00:53:36.800 --> 00:53:38.159
Why would any okay?
00:53:38.239 --> 00:53:39.199
Here's dude drama.
00:53:39.280 --> 00:53:40.880
Also, why would any?
00:53:41.199 --> 00:53:42.880
I mean, we're talking about Division I college.
00:53:42.960 --> 00:53:45.679
We're not talking about like, they're not playing Sacred Heart.
00:53:46.000 --> 00:53:47.199
They're playing Auburn.
00:53:47.599 --> 00:53:51.440
Why would any Division I men's, maybe women's too.
00:53:51.519 --> 00:53:52.400
I only know men's.
00:53:52.559 --> 00:54:02.079
Why would any Division I men's sports team playing another Division I men's sports team look each other in the eye and go, yeah, you might beat us 11-0.
00:54:02.719 --> 00:54:04.239
So we're going to do the mercy rule.
00:54:04.559 --> 00:54:05.039
All the time.
00:54:05.199 --> 00:54:06.719
Way more than you'd ever think.
00:54:07.119 --> 00:54:10.239
Well, maybe it happens, but I wouldn't agree to it.
00:54:10.320 --> 00:54:15.920
I'd want to get beat 40 to nothing because I'd want those guys to go, yeah, um, we probably need to practice.
00:54:16.159 --> 00:54:22.639
Well, the reason that's put in place is because there are typically flights booked far in advance, and they're like, Well, we got to get to our flight.
00:54:22.719 --> 00:54:24.639
The game has to end at a certain time.
00:54:25.360 --> 00:54:25.679
Okay.
00:54:26.239 --> 00:54:26.719
All right.
00:54:26.960 --> 00:54:27.920
So that's that's one reason.
00:54:28.239 --> 00:54:29.360
The behind the scenes T.
00:54:30.239 --> 00:54:30.719
Yep.
00:54:31.039 --> 00:54:32.719
Man, oh man, oh man.
00:54:32.960 --> 00:54:33.599
Interesting.
00:54:33.840 --> 00:54:34.480
All right.
00:54:34.880 --> 00:54:36.079
All right, Sydney.
00:54:36.239 --> 00:54:37.519
Do you want to do it?
00:54:38.719 --> 00:54:40.320
Yours was good no, no, no, yours was good.
00:54:40.559 --> 00:54:41.519
I can't, I can't do it.
00:54:41.679 --> 00:54:42.719
Hello, Sydney.
00:54:42.880 --> 00:54:43.840
That's so scary.
00:54:44.000 --> 00:54:44.639
That is so good.
00:54:44.800 --> 00:54:48.800
By the way, I told Sydney we uh we went and watched Scream 7.
00:54:49.039 --> 00:54:49.840
Was it good?
00:54:50.159 --> 00:54:51.119
Let me tell you.
00:54:51.360 --> 00:54:52.000
Let me just tell you.
00:54:55.039 --> 00:54:57.599
Whoever you heard mixed reviews from, Zory Idiots.
00:54:58.079 --> 00:55:02.960
Let me just tell you that if well, I will say it this way.
00:55:03.199 --> 00:55:06.079
Like, I'm not really a horror or a slasher type person.
00:55:06.239 --> 00:55:16.239
And and if you're not a slasher person, there are some scenes that are I mean, they're way over the top, but but yeah, they they extend gore to another level.
00:55:16.480 --> 00:55:22.960
There's slash, and you know, like if you're good with that, entertaining as hell.
00:55:23.199 --> 00:55:25.199
Was it really good?
00:55:25.679 --> 00:55:32.320
We we we're in the in the movie theater, just laughing and having it's not, I wouldn't call it scary at all.
00:55:32.480 --> 00:55:34.639
I I can't even remember a scene that's scary.
00:55:34.880 --> 00:55:36.480
Yeah, you feel like they're too scary.
00:55:36.559 --> 00:55:38.800
That's like edge of your seat type ones.
00:55:38.960 --> 00:55:43.840
No, there's a there's a couple, you know, there's a couple of jump scares, but the it's so easy to tell.
00:55:44.320 --> 00:55:45.679
Yeah, when it's building up.
00:55:46.079 --> 00:55:47.840
There might be one scene that's scary.
00:55:47.920 --> 00:55:51.280
I there's slash, but I wouldn't call it scary.
00:55:51.440 --> 00:55:51.840
Yeah.
00:55:52.079 --> 00:55:53.760
Uh predictable.
00:55:54.000 --> 00:56:02.000
But the the I mean the writing is really good, like the way they intertwine stuff, and it's just entertaining.
00:56:02.079 --> 00:56:05.920
Again, slash, but but yeah, it's really good.
00:56:06.239 --> 00:56:09.440
Sydney was back to protect her daughter.
00:56:09.760 --> 00:56:10.320
That's correct.
00:56:10.480 --> 00:56:11.840
Okay, because they always do it.
00:56:11.920 --> 00:56:15.599
They leave kind of like on some kind of open-endedness at the end.
00:56:15.760 --> 00:56:17.280
Was there any kind of cliffhangers?
00:56:17.440 --> 00:56:19.199
Or do they tie it up for eight?
00:56:19.360 --> 00:56:19.760
Yeah.
00:56:20.079 --> 00:56:22.639
Um is this the last one?
00:56:23.039 --> 00:56:25.199
You know, you claim it's the last, it's never the last.
00:56:25.440 --> 00:56:27.679
Uh, it depends on how it does in the theaters.
00:56:28.639 --> 00:56:28.960
That's true.
00:56:29.280 --> 00:56:31.199
If it makes money, it's not the last.
00:56:31.360 --> 00:56:35.760
Uh I would say that it could be sure.
00:56:36.320 --> 00:56:43.920
Because of the I mean, not because of the way it ends or because they do anything, but yeah, because of like who it is.
00:56:44.000 --> 00:56:45.360
By the way, good who done it.
00:56:45.840 --> 00:56:47.119
Couple couple twists.
00:56:47.199 --> 00:56:48.559
You you could get it.
00:56:48.800 --> 00:56:50.960
I was gonna say, did you predict who it was?
00:56:51.280 --> 00:56:52.880
I don't want to give anything away.
00:56:53.039 --> 00:56:57.119
Oh so uh it it it's it's got a couple of cool twists.
00:56:57.280 --> 00:57:01.920
I mean, not like you know, revolutionary a little surprising, but you're like, oh, that makes sense.
00:57:02.159 --> 00:57:02.960
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:57:03.119 --> 00:57:05.039
Yeah, it's it's really it's just well done.
00:57:05.119 --> 00:57:06.000
I mean it's well done.
00:57:06.079 --> 00:57:06.880
I'm hooked you sold it.
00:57:08.400 --> 00:57:12.719
And I will tell you that you know, they have the fact you haven't seen any of the screen movies?
00:57:12.880 --> 00:57:13.440
You haven't seen any?
00:57:13.599 --> 00:57:14.239
I've seen the first one.
00:57:14.400 --> 00:57:15.039
Oh, I mean the first one.
00:57:15.360 --> 00:57:16.559
Okay, that's the classic, yeah.
00:57:16.800 --> 00:57:19.360
And so you know the the opening scene with Drew Barrymore.
00:57:19.519 --> 00:57:20.000
Oh, yes.
00:57:20.159 --> 00:57:24.079
And so they so they it's kind of uh what I call it is the James Bond scene.
00:57:24.159 --> 00:57:29.280
It's you know, if you if you watch the James Bond, they always have that little like they hook you immediately.
00:57:29.360 --> 00:57:30.960
They did the ultra-action.
00:57:31.039 --> 00:57:36.880
It doesn't really have much necessarily to do with the movie, it's just sort of that scene that they put at the beginning.
00:57:37.199 --> 00:57:39.119
And Scream does the same thing, right?
00:57:39.199 --> 00:57:42.159
It's that scene, it kind of has to do with the movie, but not really.
00:57:42.320 --> 00:57:44.880
It's just that scene that started in one.
00:57:45.280 --> 00:57:56.719
Well, the one that's in, they have one in seven, and the one in seven is the girl from um Landman, uh who actually kind of reminds me a little of you.
00:57:56.880 --> 00:57:58.000
She's the daughter?
00:57:58.320 --> 00:57:59.119
The daughter.
00:57:59.440 --> 00:58:01.440
Yeah, the no no no, not the mom.
00:58:01.599 --> 00:58:02.800
It's like I'm out.
00:58:02.880 --> 00:58:03.280
Wait a minute.
00:58:03.440 --> 00:58:07.119
No, the the cheerleader daughter that's oh that makes sense.
00:58:07.280 --> 00:58:08.559
Yeah, the cheerleader daughter.
00:58:08.639 --> 00:58:09.840
You know who I'm talking about do you know who I'm talking about?
00:58:09.920 --> 00:58:12.159
No, I don't know her name, but yes, I've seen it.
00:58:12.480 --> 00:58:13.920
Actually, she's from South Carolina.
00:58:14.559 --> 00:58:16.000
Uh and and you'll have to look her up.
00:58:16.320 --> 00:58:17.840
You watch you obviously don't watch Landman.
00:58:18.079 --> 00:58:19.840
And and I actually, Kristen does.
00:58:20.000 --> 00:58:23.519
I I literally just because Kristen's watching it.
00:58:23.760 --> 00:58:24.400
You see it on.
00:58:24.559 --> 00:58:27.360
And and I kind of got into it because it's it's pretty good.
00:58:27.519 --> 00:58:28.480
It is pretty good.
00:58:28.719 --> 00:58:35.119
And she is um uh um pardon the phrase.
00:58:36.000 --> 00:58:40.079
She's the eye candy of the of the show for for the younger generation.
00:58:40.159 --> 00:58:42.079
She's definitely the hook for the younger guys.
00:58:42.320 --> 00:58:42.960
Yep, yep.
00:58:43.199 --> 00:58:47.280
And she uh she plays this kind of um Ditzy Blonde?
00:58:47.440 --> 00:58:47.920
Yeah, yeah.
00:58:48.000 --> 00:58:50.800
She's she's a typical Ditzy Blonde cheerleader girl.
00:58:51.039 --> 00:58:51.360
Yeah.
00:58:51.519 --> 00:58:54.000
And she's not always the well, she was.
00:58:54.239 --> 00:58:57.119
I know she's the cheerleader in college, but was she before?
00:58:57.360 --> 00:58:58.400
I don't I don't know if she was.
00:58:59.280 --> 00:59:00.559
She's cheerleader type.
00:59:00.880 --> 00:59:02.320
Yeah, yeah, that's her.
00:59:02.559 --> 00:59:03.119
That's her.
00:59:03.760 --> 00:59:04.960
Not before TCU.
00:59:05.199 --> 00:59:11.760
So she is the um she is the uh uh loss leader in Scream 7.
00:59:12.000 --> 00:59:14.880
Uh she's got that that role in this opening scene.
00:59:15.039 --> 00:59:18.320
She's got the Drew Barrymore role, which is and it's actually pretty good.
00:59:18.480 --> 00:59:19.840
Yeah, I mean, they're known for that.
00:59:19.920 --> 00:59:20.960
They do it like everyone.
00:59:21.039 --> 00:59:21.760
I love it.
00:59:21.840 --> 00:59:22.320
It's pretty good.
00:59:22.400 --> 00:59:25.199
The way they do it is is it's it's ma'am.
00:59:25.280 --> 00:59:26.000
Okay, we gotta move up.
00:59:26.639 --> 00:59:27.360
It's really good though.
00:59:27.440 --> 00:59:28.719
I I thought it was it was great.
00:59:28.880 --> 00:59:30.639
And you're not ditzy, by the way.
00:59:30.800 --> 00:59:32.000
Let's just be thank you.
00:59:32.159 --> 00:59:35.119
You it was literally just appearance-wise only.
00:59:35.280 --> 00:59:36.719
I think you're shorter than her, too.
00:59:36.960 --> 00:59:37.440
Yeah, definitely.
00:59:39.920 --> 00:59:41.440
But, anyways, okay.
00:59:41.679 --> 00:59:43.039
So ready to jump in?
00:59:43.199 --> 00:59:44.000
Well, I should read this.
00:59:44.079 --> 00:59:48.800
No, I'm just so you're more comfortable now?
00:59:49.039 --> 00:59:49.519
I think so.
00:59:49.679 --> 00:59:51.119
Because we've been recording the whole time.
00:59:53.119 --> 00:59:54.000
Oh, yeah, man.
00:59:54.960 --> 00:59:55.679
April Fools.
00:59:56.320 --> 00:59:56.639
Exactly.
00:59:56.960 --> 00:59:57.760
No April Fools.
00:59:58.000 --> 01:00:00.400
I was really scared to come into the office this morning, I'm not gonna lie.
01:00:00.559 --> 01:00:00.800
Really?
01:00:00.960 --> 01:00:02.880
I didn't know what kind of pranksters everyone was.
01:00:03.119 --> 01:00:03.920
Oh, yeah, yeah.
01:00:04.000 --> 01:00:04.880
We're not real prankers.
01:00:05.119 --> 01:00:09.280
So I opened the door and I like looked above my head and I like checked my chair before I sat down.
01:00:09.599 --> 01:00:10.480
I was really scared.
01:00:10.559 --> 01:00:11.519
I was like, I'm too new.
01:00:11.599 --> 01:00:13.280
This is so easy to be done.
01:00:13.679 --> 01:00:16.000
Yeah, we're probably just lame and don't do that anymore.
01:00:16.239 --> 01:00:20.719
I forgot about it until I was like half an hour in, and then I was like, oh, damn, I should have done something.
01:00:20.880 --> 01:00:21.039
Yeah.
01:00:21.280 --> 01:00:22.239
Too far gone.
01:00:22.480 --> 01:00:23.119
It's all good.
01:00:23.280 --> 01:00:24.079
Safe and sound.
01:00:24.480 --> 01:00:25.039
All right.
01:00:26.159 --> 01:00:27.199
All right, cool.
01:00:27.360 --> 01:00:29.599
All right, ready to rock and roll.
01:00:29.840 --> 01:00:31.039
You're gonna do it though.
01:00:32.800 --> 01:00:33.840
Yeah, because I like yours.
01:00:34.000 --> 01:00:34.639
Yours is good.
01:00:34.880 --> 01:00:35.199
All right.
01:00:35.519 --> 01:00:37.760
I'm gonna do my first little intro, then we'll get into that.
01:00:38.079 --> 01:00:38.559
All right, cool.
01:01:15.360 --> 01:01:17.119
Wait, I didn't know that that was coming up.
01:01:17.360 --> 01:01:17.519
Sorry.
01:01:17.760 --> 01:01:18.880
Oh, is there anything else you got?
01:01:19.119 --> 01:01:20.079
I've I I I got it.
01:01:20.159 --> 01:01:21.519
Come on, think on your feet.
01:01:21.840 --> 01:01:22.559
I'm not good at that.
01:01:22.800 --> 01:01:24.320
I need to like have a thought in my head.
01:01:24.639 --> 01:01:34.320
We can talk about panelized versus wireless, how it declutters the walls, and that's that's the thing that really sort of we're just sort of chit-chatting right now.
01:01:34.400 --> 01:01:34.559
Yeah.
01:01:34.719 --> 01:01:41.360
That's the thing that sort of engages a lot of customers, um, because we can see it as an aesthetics point of view.
01:01:41.599 --> 01:01:43.119
Yeah, we can use Zach's term.
01:01:43.199 --> 01:01:55.840
It's honestly it can be viewed as sexist, so I don't know if you want to use it, but saying lots of times the husband the husband and wife will come in and the husband's all down for all of this stuff, and the wife just doesn't care.
01:01:56.480 --> 01:02:05.039
But then if you start talking about, you know, um wall clutter and stuff like that, then the wife's all of a sudden like, oh, wait a minute.
01:02:05.360 --> 01:02:05.679
Yeah, yeah.
01:02:05.840 --> 01:02:06.880
Oh, now we're talking design.
01:02:06.960 --> 01:02:08.159
So education.
01:02:08.400 --> 01:02:08.719
Yes.
01:02:09.039 --> 01:02:13.519
So how do you bring that up without it being like a sexist?
01:02:14.320 --> 01:02:19.119
Well, the guy, it's just technology, he doesn't care about design, and only the woman cares about design.
01:02:19.440 --> 01:02:31.519
I don't think we have to talk about it in that way necessarily, but like something we've gotten really awesome feedback on is panelized lighting or scene control within a house.
01:02:31.760 --> 01:02:33.199
And then Perfect.
01:02:33.360 --> 01:02:36.800
That's gonna be a perfect segue to what that means.
01:02:37.039 --> 01:02:37.360
Right.
01:02:38.000 --> 01:02:39.199
I keep moving my head.
01:02:39.599 --> 01:02:45.280
You can we can sort of roll into that by I forgot what your actual question was.
01:02:45.679 --> 01:02:47.760
Um Yeah, where was that question?
01:02:48.000 --> 01:02:48.960
Oh, it's all there in the back.
01:02:49.039 --> 01:02:50.000
I'm jumping all over the place.
01:02:50.079 --> 01:02:50.639
That's my bad.
01:02:50.800 --> 01:02:53.440
I was I was like, wait, I was not prepared for that question.
01:02:53.679 --> 01:03:00.159
Um what do you what should homeowners know about before choosing the lighting in their home?
01:03:02.159 --> 01:03:10.719
I have an idea of talking about lighting design, about not everything has to be symmetrical, not everything is four cans in a fan.
01:03:10.800 --> 01:03:16.559
And this extends to the light switches and keypads as well.
01:03:16.800 --> 01:03:20.480
Most people just think I have to have a hundred switches in my house, but I don't.
01:03:20.639 --> 01:03:21.599
I can have 10.
01:03:21.760 --> 01:03:21.920
Yeah.
01:03:22.159 --> 01:03:24.639
You know, so we can roll into it that way.
01:03:24.800 --> 01:03:32.880
Um, and then that brings in the whole design aspect, which tends to get designers to the table, like interior designers to the table.
01:03:33.039 --> 01:03:42.639
Customers really start to open up to that, like, oh, I didn't realize this was going to be, it wasn't just about tech, it's about I can make my walls look nice.
01:03:43.440 --> 01:03:46.719
And I think that that's almost that's an education point too.
01:03:46.800 --> 01:03:51.599
It's like, okay, you have a switch for your your cans, a switch for your pen, and a switch for your lamps.
01:03:51.840 --> 01:03:53.280
All of that can be taken away.
01:03:53.360 --> 01:03:56.079
We can give you one button and it controls all of them together.
01:03:56.719 --> 01:03:59.039
Because some people want it, they might not know what that means.
01:03:59.440 --> 01:03:59.920
Yes.
01:04:00.239 --> 01:04:01.599
Okay, so let's start.
01:04:01.920 --> 01:04:03.440
Maybe this will be a good segue.
01:04:04.320 --> 01:04:24.239
So I'm getting nervous.
01:04:24.639 --> 01:04:25.360
Don't worry.
01:04:26.639 --> 01:04:28.400
I told you that happens to me all the time.
01:04:28.559 --> 01:04:32.400
I start you have a thought, and then you're like, oh my god, it slowly faded away.
01:04:32.960 --> 01:04:35.039
Your brain is going faster than your mouth is.
01:04:35.519 --> 01:04:37.280
Yes, okay, cut all that out.
01:04:37.599 --> 01:04:39.360
Not all, but I thought it was good.
01:04:39.440 --> 01:04:42.480
I was gonna I was gonna come in after that and talk about the engravings.
01:04:42.719 --> 01:04:44.320
Oh, that would be good.
01:04:44.880 --> 01:04:46.480
So the entertainment.
01:04:50.559 --> 01:04:50.880
Okay.
01:04:54.480 --> 01:04:58.880
You were talking about the welcome scene, how it created a pathway from the garage into the house.
01:04:58.960 --> 01:05:00.880
That's good, and then you started to lose yourself.
01:05:01.199 --> 01:05:01.440
Okay.
01:05:01.519 --> 01:05:02.079
What do you want?
01:05:02.159 --> 01:05:06.079
What should I go back into entertain and list another example?
01:05:06.880 --> 01:05:20.159
Or maybe just reiterate that you can create different uh different scenes um for different types, different times of day, different areas of the uh room, all different kinds of things.
