  I saw a a article about your new venture in Daily Coffee News
• 0:05
  that referred to you as a legend.
• 0:08
  When you look in the mirror, do you think to yourself, I am
• 0:11
  legend? Chuck Patton going to work
• 0:12
  today? Like how does that make you?
• 0:14
  Feel I try and remind my wife all the time when I get in
• 0:18
  trouble. Hey look, I'm a legend right
• 0:21
  there in front. I'm allowed some some mistakes
• 0:24
  every now and then. No, of course not.
• 0:27
  But yeah, that was a pretty nice, nice compliment.
• 0:33
  But well, I mean, I do. There is, I mean, I guess a
• 0:37
  certain amount of ego involved. I mean, I am proud of what we
• 0:41
  accomplished with with Bird Rock.
• 0:43
  I think we were able to do some things that hadn't been done in
• 0:47
  San Diego and maybe some things that had not been done by a lot
• 0:52
  of other roasters anywhere. There were times and and I was
• 0:56
  reflecting last night, you know, looking forward to this
• 0:58
  interview. And I was kind of reflecting
• 1:00
  about, you know, there were definitely times in in when I
• 1:03
  was running Bird Rock when I knew for a fact that we had the
• 1:06
  best say offering sheet than anyone else in the country right
• 1:10
  now. Not, not all the time, of
• 1:11
  course, but maybe there was a month and a year where I know
• 1:13
  there was no way there, there wasn't.
• 1:14
  I don't care. Stump down.
• 1:16
  I'll just see any of those guys. I know our coffee's better.
• 1:18
  And so there was certain amount of ego and there was definitely
• 1:21
  amount of pride in, in, in running that.
• 1:25
  Now, like I said earlier, as far as, you know, calling the
• 1:29
  company Chuck's roast, part of what I'm selling is, is the past
• 1:34
  success and expertise going as far as legend.
• 1:39
  You know, I don't know about that, but I, I do, I do have to
• 1:42
  kind of rely on the fact that I've accomplished XY and Z and,
• 1:47
  and that's kind of what I'm building on for this movement.
