Ain't It Great To Be A Pool Guy? - h8dit 8 · thxh8dit

0:00
Just over the years I see these guys roll up, give me the head
0:04
nod, do their job, and within 20 minutes they're gone.
0:07
I'm still working on the same section of the lawn, going back
0:10
and forth on this stupid mower. Big old.
0:13
That I arm across the floor. Oh my.
0:15
God, I'm melting. I spent 10 times as much money
0:19
to make the same amount in 10 times more work and I I I want
0:27
to do that now. Welcome back, this is episode
0:42
I'm going to shoot out a number of nine on.
0:45
Thanks. Hated it.
0:46
Hopefully. Yeah, I'm assuming 9.
0:50
Might be 8, I don't know. Brought to you by the lovely
0:54
Justin. And with me is Ryan.
0:57
Amber's out sick this week. We will press on in her honor.
1:06
In her memory. In her memory.
1:10
So this week is all about family and sports and business.
1:17
Busyness. Somehow we turned into a Dave
1:20
Ramsey. So unprofessional.
1:23
Somehow we turned into a Dave Ramsey Andrew Tate podcast,
1:26
which is disgusting. Wait, how is this an Andrew Tate
1:31
podcast? Because we're talking business,
1:34
boys. Boys gross.
1:38
Hate it? I'm going to hate to find out
1:40
that Ludwig loves Andrew Tate because I really like watching
1:44
some of his stuff. It's going to suck when he says
1:47
that. Like oh.
1:49
I mean, it'll check, it'll it'll.
1:52
It'll. Check out Yeah.
1:53
OOP, OOP, you're gone. There you go.
1:58
So couldn't be more proud of your brother.
2:04
Yeah, go for it. Give him, give him the
2:07
highlights. Give him the real.
2:09
Graduated with a perfect 4.0 GPA, valedictorian of his class.
2:15
Nerd No. That's literally what we were
2:18
saying to him. Don't beat me up, I know you're
2:19
massive. That's that's literally what we
2:22
were saying to him the entire weekend.
2:25
He's like, oh, you were the valedictorian nerd.
2:28
Get a life, get a girl. He's going to go play college
2:32
baseball on a scholarship because he's just way more
2:39
athletically bound than any of us ever have been, which is not
2:44
saying a lot. And then to have the academics
2:46
on top is just. He wants to study chemical
2:50
engineering. That's the one.
2:51
Some sort of engineering with chemistry focus?
2:56
That's. Just insane.
2:57
That's an immediate hire for, what were we saying, DuPont 3M?
3:03
3M. Like any pretty much he'd take
3:05
his pick, take his, take it, take his VPC, take it, he's
3:09
fine. Yes, whatever you want to do.
3:11
If you if he studies half as hard as he did in high school,
3:15
he's going to be able to choose whatever company he wants to
3:18
work for. And he obviously got a
3:19
scholarship. Yes, and you got several
3:22
scholarships from like the local community too.
3:25
Is that for sports or academics? So I don't know, I think the
3:29
school he's going to cannot give sports scholarships D3, So it's
3:36
got to be academic. OK, But he signed.
3:39
He signed to play baseball. Which is you're fine.
3:42
Is. Yeah, exactly.
3:43
That's yeah What, however. I had no idea Yale had a
3:47
baseball team. Right.
3:50
Stanford. No, it's actually just BFE
3:56
College in the middle of nowhere.
3:59
But that's fine. I mean, you're playing college
4:01
ball at that point. Like there's not very many
4:04
people that get to say they they did that.
4:07
I was going to say, if he's going for ball, is he thinking
4:10
about using the actual degree and going into chemical
4:14
engineering or does he want to keep doing baseball?
4:16
So he wants he wants to see how far baseball will take him.
4:22
That's a really good plan off the RIP.
4:24
And just just he will play and develop and go for that, but he
4:30
understands that this is probably his last go.
4:34
I get that. So that's totally fine with him.
4:37
Didn't he get hit the other day? Not the other day, the day after
4:42
prom or not the day after prom. The Monday after prom he got hit
4:47
in the face with a baseball. Just God.
4:50
But I dad says that it hit the helmet visor first which
4:56
shattered which then cut him so he didn't get the the force of
5:01
the baseball on his face. Who's throwing who?
5:04
OK, Can we just think about the pitcher?
5:07
What are you going for? The Dude 6/2. 6 two, yeah.
5:10
Where are you pitching? Like, yeah, what are you doing?
5:14
It's high school, so Oh my. God, I mean like nothing on him,
5:18
but I'm saying like, yeah, where you're going.
5:20
You're you're talking little, you're slinging that thing town
5:23
way too high school. Yeah, but no, he he wore it like
5:29
a champ. Anybody else is in the
5:32
bleachers? It just runs right into his
5:35
head. Yeah.
5:36
If the picture doesn't give too much away, yeah, I'll post it
5:39
here, but he's just holding up the baseball with the thumbs up,
5:44
smiling. That's blood running down his
5:46
thumbnail. It's just.
5:47
It's a hard picture. It goes hard.
5:49
It's. Cool man.
5:50
It is so cool. I was like, God, look at him
5:52
smiling with a thought. What are you doing?
5:54
And he's Oh my God, I, I don't, I don't know how I don't know
5:59
how. That's crazy, man. 4.0 and
6:02
playing college ball. You said he was prom king or
6:05
went with prom queen, something like that.
6:06
Did that. Was that talking to somebody
6:08
else? I don't know if he was prom
6:11
king, I I didn't hear it, so it probably wasn't.
6:15
I think he was the homecoming. King.
6:17
Unbelievable. What a what a start.
6:21
Yeah. And that's, that's the start.
6:23
Yeah. He's, what, 18?
6:25
18. Yeah, good Lord.
6:27
Going in, he's going to finish off high school with a little
6:33
summer travel ball and then going into college to play fall
6:39
ball like right off the. Unbelievable.
6:43
Yeah, he's going to love it though.
6:45
He's a good kid. He would have hated a gap year.
6:47
He knows it. Oh yeah, He'd have been so
6:50
bored. Yeah.
6:51
What am I doing? No, like he's he's an FFA, he is
6:56
an FCA. He was on the Scholastic Bowl
7:04
team. He played baseball, football and
7:07
basketball. I saw the basketball.
7:09
He was active in his church community.
7:12
Unbelievable. And just like literally he was.
7:17
He's never home 'cause he's constantly doing something and
7:21
to have that much activity and still get a 4.0, I don't know is
7:27
just on. I literally don't understand it.
7:30
He also umpires for like the the Town Rec League.
7:36
Turns out he has a twin and you're just messing with me.
7:40
They're both 6 too. That's funny.
7:44
No, he's a good kid, though. He's.
7:46
Unbelievable. Shout out to your brother and
7:49
everything that he's done and everything he's going to do.
7:51
And I can't wait to work for him Sunday because clearly he'll
7:55
have a company of his own if he wants it.
7:57
And he can just have it, like, unbelievable.
8:00
He does want to go to U of I University of Illinois to get
8:05
into the engineering program there, which is one of the best,
8:09
if not the best in that area. Do they not have a ball team?
8:13
Oh, they do. Oh, OK, they do.
8:15
But that's Big 10 baseball. That's Division One Big 10
8:18
baseball. That's kind of rough to break
8:21
into, even though Illinois doesn't necessarily have a good
8:24
ball club right now. But that's fine.
8:27
Shout out to your brother. Congratulations.
8:29
Enjoy it it it goes fast and it comes quick and don't take the
8:37
first offer. So while we're on the topic,
8:40
yes, I was actually going to sling a couple of these at you a
8:43
couple weeks ago. And the back of the toilet book.
8:48
I forgot about it. So now, since you got a new one,
8:52
baseball trivia. My boss got me that, he gave it
8:55
to me when we were golfing the other day.
8:58
I I've kind of like skimmed through it, but I haven't really
9:02
read through the whole thing. Straight out of the book.
9:09
Oh goodness. And.
9:10
I'm going to try not to do too many true or false, just give
9:12
you or too many multiple choice because we're idiots.
9:16
I'll go straight to the true or false.
9:18
I couldn't even say it, that's how dumb I am.
9:22
During World War 2A, Grenade was developed to mimic the size and
9:26
weight of a baseball so young men who grew up playing the game
9:30
would know how to throw it. This is true.
9:35
No player has ever died as a result of an injury occurred
9:40
during an MLB game. I would say that is false.
9:50
OK, because there is one player that has died from a lightning
9:56
strike. Unbelievable.
9:58
Playing baseball. No, I I actually completely
10:01
understand that I the most. I believe there's been one head
10:08
injury if I'm not mistaken. With the lightning thing.
10:11
No, like with like a baseball actually.
10:13
No, no, no. I'm saying for me, like with the
10:15
lightning thing, that's my number one fear with
10:17
landscaping. The number one struck occupation
10:21
in Florida for being outside is landscapers constantly struck by
10:27
lightning. I know there's been one dude.
10:29
I think there's been one dude that's died and then there's
10:31
been one dude that got struck by lightning in the middle of a
10:35
game and then went on to finish that game, which is just that's
10:41
that's stupid. I bet it didn't have a four
10:44
point O. Yeah.
10:45
Although Ken Griffey senior and Ken Griffey junior played in the
10:49
MLB at the same time, they never played for the same team.
10:53
That's actually false. Major false because they played
10:57
for the Seattle Mariners. Unbelievable.
11:00
So first is true hand grenades were used, false for the death
11:05
during a game and false for them playing on the same team?
11:09
Yeah. Unbelievable.
11:11
All right, I'll run it. Back.
11:13
I'm a I'm a huge, I'm a huge baseball nerd.
11:15
I love baseball. It's some good stuff, all right.
11:21
True or false? Satchel Paige was not only one
11:24
of the oldest men to ever debut in the MLB, but he retired as
11:28
the oldest player ever in the majors.
11:31
Satchel Paige. He retired as one of the oldest
11:36
players playing in baseball. I believe 58 was his age.
11:43
So true. Whatever.
11:45
Not only the oldest man yeah ever debut in MLB, but he
11:50
retired as the oldest player ever in the majors.
11:53
Yes. OK, true or false, No pitcher
11:55
has ever thrown more than one perfect game.
11:59
Oh no, can you read that back? No pitcher has ever thrown more
12:07
than one perfect game. I think that is true.
12:15
I that's I'm going to be really upset if that's false because I
12:20
know exactly who it would be. Obviously, increase the
12:23
difficulty because you got all three of them right.
12:26
New York Mets pitcher Tom Seaver once struck out 11 batters in a
12:30
row. Tom, Is that a perfect game?
12:34
No, no, no. The 27 is a perfect game, and
12:37
that's an unreal perfect game. 27 batters in a row striking
12:41
out. That's unreal.
12:44
I'd say true on that one, I think.
12:46
I think he did. Tom Seaver once struck out 11
12:48
batters in a row. It would.
12:50
It would check out the Tom Seaver would.
12:51
For real though, Satchel Paige and Tom Seaver.
12:54
What a name. Tom Seaver was recent.
12:57
Tom Seaver. Satchel Paige was was a older
13:00
dude. And an.
13:02
Crazy baseball player. An anonymous bidder bought a
13:05
sock with Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling's blood on it for
13:10
more than $90,000. More than 90,000.
13:14
Dollars, I believe it was 2 million so get.
13:17
Out man I. Believe it was 2 million.
13:20
All right, the first is true. Paige retired in 65 at 59.
13:25
I was. I was one year off.
13:27
He became do do do do considered one of the greatest pitchers in
13:32
history #2 is true when a pitcher doesn't allow a single
13:36
runner to reach base 23 perfect games have.
13:42
What? Yeah, yeah, I said.
13:44
Only only 23 perfect games have ever been pitched.
13:47
That's insane. 3 is false. Haha oh I was wrong on that.
13:53
Seaver only, it says in quotes only, not only struck out 10
13:58
batters in a row. That's good stuff.
14:00
That's yeah. See, that's why I said that
14:02
would make sense for Tom Seaver. He's 11.
14:06
Hell of a pitcher. He struck out 19 batters total
14:09
during the game, with the Mets winning 2 to one.
14:13
And that's not the most strikeouts in a game.
14:15
I would imagine not. And then the last one is true.
14:19
It was fought for 92. Thousand oh 90.
14:21
Two 613 So I think he was I think he.
14:25
But no, I do remember that. Because that was that was the
14:29
bloody sock game. Unbelievable.
14:31
There's a name for it. Yeah, he, he had an injury on
14:36
his ankle and he pitched through it.
14:37
And you could just as the game went on, the sock got redder and
14:41
redder. Oh.
14:41
My God, yeah. This is just, it was it was
14:43
pretty gnarly. All right, the last four, no
14:49
woman has ever umpired an MLB regular season game.
14:56
It's sexist that you don't know this off.
14:57
The RIP I don't know. That you were a feminist.
15:00
I know they they recently had women in the minor League
15:05
Baseball system like that. They made a huge deal out of
15:08
that. I don't think Major League, so I
15:14
don't I don't think we've had one for Major League Baseball
15:17
yet. #2 announcer Vin Scully spent more years with the
15:23
Dodgers than anyone else associated with the
15:26
organization. Vin Scully with the Dodgers true
15:31
#3 In 1996, an umpire died on Opening Day after calling for a
15:36
time out in the first inning, collapsing on the field.
15:39
What I just These are random pages.
15:41
Why have two of them been about death?
15:43
True. An umpire died in 1996 and #4
15:47
Umpires do not allow any kind of foreign substance to be applied
15:52
to baseballs used in MLB games. Any foreign substance.
15:56
False. First one is true.
16:01
Nobody's ever umpired in an MLB game.
16:03
No woman has yes, yes, I know that they've done minor league,
16:08
but I don't think yeah, well, obviously, yeah.
16:11
Well, Pam and Ria have umpired spring training and exhibition
16:15
games, but nothing in a regular season #2 is false.
16:21
Scully is one year shy of Tommy Lasorda's record-breaking 68
16:26
years with the Dodgers as player, manager and.
16:33
He had how did. You forget Tommy.
16:34
What a name. He what a name?
16:36
He had a special relationship with the San Diego Chicken.
16:44
What's up? San Diego Chicken was a mascot
16:48
San. Diego.
16:49
Past that and he was kind of known for his antics like the
16:54
Philly fanatic, but Tommy Lasorda and the chicken went
17:00
after it several times, like to the point where Tommy Lasorda
17:04
would like fist fight with this this chicken.
17:08
In the in the. In the game.
17:10
Unbelievable. Yeah, between innings he would
17:12
just go after this chicken because it just kept going after
17:14
him is good stuff. #3 Sadly true 1996 umpire John Mcsherry
17:21
suffered a massive heart attack while working at the home plate.
17:26
I wasn't laughing, I was coughing.
17:28
I'm, I'm pretty sure I've seen video of that and it is the most
17:33
eerie thing, 'cause he calls time out and like, walks forward
17:38
a little bit and then just collapses.
17:41
Yeah. And #4 it's false.
17:46
I don't remember what that was. Umpires do not allow any foreign
17:50
substance. OK, so I I didn't know what they
17:54
were going to do. There is one substance that they
17:56
allow, but I don't think they they call it.
17:58
So every base Major League Baseball is worked up through
18:04
this thing called baseball mud. Yep, that's what it says here,
18:08
yeah. So I did not know if they were,
18:09
I wouldn't consider that a. Foreign substance.
18:12
Every ball gets it. I wouldn't call that a foreign
18:14
substance. Well, I, well, it's a foreign
18:16
substance because it's not like dirt base.
18:21
Like it's not, it's not on the field.
18:24
Baseball mud literally comes from a river in New Jersey.
18:28
On y'all are y'all are weird man.
18:32
That's good stuff. He said having trophies of when
18:35
he played. Yeah.
18:38
So I saw one today. Speaking of foreign substance,
18:43
I'm trying to score a bid on one of the accounts that I already
18:46
do. I'm trying to break into pool
18:49
cleaning. I want to be a full stop shop.
18:52
I want to be a full service property management company by
18:56
five years. I'm at 4, four and some change
19:00
four and three months. Whenever I told my CPA the when
19:04
I started the yeah, look at that.
19:07
When I first started the company, like a month into it
19:11
when we paid for the LLCI, still going to do my year.
19:18
He pretty much said don't, don't, don't even try.
19:22
It'll be five years. Yeah, I told him you're nuts.
19:25
You're out of your mind if you think I'm waiting five years to
19:28
scale up to, to branch out, to use the business that I've
19:33
created to make a bigger, better or other side business or
19:37
another sister organization. He was right.
19:41
He was going to say, how do you feel now?
19:43
No, he was dead right. It's almost like him doing CPA
19:46
for 45 years and his dad being ACPA for 45 years, he knew what
19:50
he was talking. About yeah, it's not yeah.
19:51
Straight up, you're out of your mind If you think I'm waiting
19:54
five years for this. You're crazy.
19:55
No, he was dead right. He couldn't have been more
19:58
right. I'm going to go back and tell
20:00
him how right he was. So I'm, I think my first shot
20:05
into a. A sister corporation, LLC,
20:10
whatever what have you, is going to be in the pool cleaning
20:13
because they have it so good. These guys, I'm on a site for
20:20
hours, grueling heat, I'm covered in it.
20:24
I'm getting bit and stung and I'm having an allergic reaction
20:28
to the Thistle like I'm getting my ass kicked.
20:31
These guys show up in flip flops, they dump 2 gallons of
20:36
chlorine in a circle, they scrub the walls, they sift the top,
20:39
they shake out the filter. They're back in the AC in the
20:42
truck. 20 minutes. And it's the same amount of
20:45
money that I'm making. Like time wise.
20:47
If they can match up their routes to where they can get 3
20:50
poles in an hour, they're making the same money that I am.
20:53
And I'm like, what? What was I thinking?
20:56
These guys pay? I'd call it $1000 to start.
21:02
And you're talking maybe 3 months worth of product to get
21:08
the equipment. You already have the truck.
21:10
Obviously whether you make payments on it or not doesn't
21:12
matter. I'm doing the same with mine,
21:14
your chemicals, your equipment, and maybe some T-shirts.
21:19
And I could get that for $1000. I spent 10 grand to buy all of
21:24
my landscaping equipment because I had that from my 4 O 1K when I
21:27
left and just over the years. I see these guys roll up, give
21:33
me the head nod, do their job and within 20 minutes they're
21:36
gone. I'm still working on the same
21:37
section of the lawn, going back and forth on this stupid mower.
21:42
Arm across the floor. Oh my.
21:44
God I'm melting. I spent 10 times as much money
21:48
to make the same amount in 10 times more.
21:54
You're watching. These guys as you are a 90s
22:00
alternative rock band. Come in with emo screamo.
22:04
No, no 90s alternative rock band Puddle of Justin.
22:10
You're welcome for that. Spit take on your clean mic.
22:14
Yeah, so I saw. I think I have a shirt that
22:17
color that exact color the green.
22:19
Yes, yeah. So I saw this pool today.
22:21
This is a close family friend and I've been maintaining her
22:26
property for years now. She's had the same pool guy few
22:29
years now. We've actually had it out for
22:31
each other this whole time. So he'll come over and after
22:36
I've blown the roof off and I've pressure washed the pool
22:39
enclosure and chemically washed the patio and cleared the
22:44
gutters and knocked out the drain for the pool.
22:47
Pretty much totaled yearly, two or three-year for her.
22:52
Redo, revamp, clean out. He gives me the meanest mug
22:57
because it's an open pool in an enclosure with stuff I can't.
23:03
There's not much I can do. I can put a cover over it.
23:05
I promise you it's only going to help a little.
23:08
It is destroyed. So he's mad.
23:11
I'm mad that he looked at me wrong the wrong way.
23:13
I'm a grown man. I'll throw you in the pool.
23:16
Don't fight, don't play. So the last time I saw him, I
23:21
was trying to talk to him because the guy he hired or
23:25
subbed out, what have you, didn't show up to take care of
23:35
this person's pool. And they're a family friend.
23:37
Like they're on my wife's side. They're a fan, like part of the
23:41
family. So I asked her, I'm like, hey,
23:44
do you want me to jump on this? Like, I'm, I'm breaking into the
23:47
pool game. You could be the first client
23:50
and it's probably going to be heavily discounted because I
23:53
have no idea what I'm doing. And she said, well, this is like
23:57
the first week that he found out that the guy hasn't been
24:00
maintaining it and he's really mad at him.
24:02
And he talked to him. I was like, all right, no
24:03
problem. This was like a month ago.
24:06
It's summer here, baby grandkids are hanging out by the pool.
24:09
She's got her daughter there. It's it's summer.
24:12
It's it's ready to jump. It's pool weather and it looks
24:16
like that. And it is looked like that the
24:19
great slime king for a month now.
24:22
I talked to her again today. It's the two week service and I
24:25
come up and I'm like, hey, what's going on with the pool?
24:29
Well, he said he was going to take care of it.
24:32
He's already dumped like two things of chlorine in it, and
24:35
he's starting to come twice a week now.
24:38
OK, I'm telling you now. I'm.
24:41
I'm here for it. I'm.
24:42
Ready twice a week just based off of that picture.
24:45
Yeah, it's been that way for a month.
24:48
I don't know what happened. And we were in a drought.
24:51
It ain't the water. It ain't the rain.
24:53
Like it's complete mismanagement.
24:55
What do you mean? You dump two things of chlorine
24:58
and it's and it's still green like that.
25:00
Oh my. God.
25:01
We haven't. It looks like the.
25:02
Waters of the Bermuda just green green.
25:05
We had rain, yeah, like 4 days and it's still severe drought.
25:12
Like that's, that's no, absolutely.
25:16
I was trying to farm that account because I'm already
25:19
doing her maintenance and I'm trying to break into the pools.
25:22
I I don't know man, I don't know how I'm going to play this
25:25
because I'd like to just snipe everybody and the people who
25:30
have pools that already do. Hey, I'm breaking into pools.
25:33
Let me do your thing. It'll be 1 service and you'll
25:34
still get the discount on both. I don't know.
25:37
I have no idea. I've never even like obviously
25:41
if I've had a pool and I've done the, the hot tub maintenance as
25:44
well, but I mean, I, I wouldn't even know where to start with
25:47
the marketing. And I'll tell you what, these,
25:51
these guys that pull up to these pools that I've been doing, they
25:54
look like absolute just Cowboys shorts and flip flops and
25:59
Oakley's. And it makes me so mad they're
26:02
wearing Oakley's because I'm wearing knock off Oakley's and
26:05
they're not. And I'm like, we're doing the
26:08
same, the same dollar per hour for 1/10 of the work.
26:15
But that's my mistake. And that's, that's what I'm
26:19
going to focus on next is I don't even know, trying to
26:22
figure out, come up with some kind of, I don't know, some kind
26:26
of saving issue that I can actually buy all the equipment
26:30
and, and just just straight up break into it because I don't, I
26:33
don't know what else to do. I don't know how he would react
26:38
to me seeing if he has any stuff to sell equipment wise.
26:45
But you know that time lapse, that 43,000 photo time lapse I
26:49
did that was for Seminole Pool Supply.
26:52
Oh, OK. So I know.
26:55
Yeah. And they just broke into the
26:57
roofing business. He just got his roofing license.
27:00
That is the weirdest transition. Maybe not the weirdest, but
27:04
that's that's up. There he's I.
27:06
Pool cleaning to. He did not yet.
27:08
I mean, he did paver like he does just about anything.
27:11
Oh. OK.
27:12
I thought he was just a pool supplier, like he was the guy
27:15
who supplied this stuff. He.
27:16
Goes they do pool cleaning and maintenance and all that.
27:21
Stuff he It's the same thing I. Guess yeah, Yeah.
27:23
Roofing still. And then roofing pavers and
27:27
concrete work. I mean, this guy is.
27:30
He also said he never expected to grow this big.
27:34
Yeah. Like that was not something he
27:36
wanted to do. Yeah, pinch a penny's scared of
27:37
them. Yeah, I, I went to pool supply
27:40
for my stuff. Like that's I, I don't think
27:42
I've ever even walked into a pinch a penny.
27:44
Kevin and his wife are two of the nicest, most reasonable
27:50
people I've ever met. They're just, I was having those
27:54
issues with my computer. Oh yeah, As you fully well know.
27:58
Yeah, I I would have thrown a monitor ready.
28:00
I don't. Know how to throw my computer
28:01
out the way? I don't know how you did.
28:03
I don't know how you you. But I kept, I kept telling him,
28:06
hey, listen, this is this is what's going on.
28:10
Yeah. And he kept saying, dude, take
28:12
your time. I'm not worried about.
28:14
Yeah. And but yeah, so.
28:17
How long was the time lapse in total like for the?
28:20
Minute and 15 seconds 43. 1000 photos was a minute and what?
28:26
15 seconds. Unbelievable.
28:28
I now. Granted, I cut out about half
28:33
the photos each day per camera. Yeah, because they did not have
28:38
any action in them because I had two cameras set up on two
28:42
different sides of property. And so they would work on this
28:45
half 1/2 of the day and then they work on this half the other
28:49
half of the day. So this camera was just shooting
28:53
just in case, because I didn't know where they were starting
28:56
from, where they were going to end up.
28:58
So I had just two cameras running the whole day, 2 days.
29:01
That's experience because I wouldn't have even thought to
29:04
put a secondary for a bat. I'd have just been like, yeah,
29:06
this one will get them and then oh shit, they're they're not in
29:11
frame for two days. Awesome.
29:13
No, that's anyway. Yeah, that's just, that's just
29:18
what I chose to do. And yeah, I, I added AI,
29:22
probably added about 20,000 photos that I didn't need to
29:25
work with, but. A minute and 15 is crazy.
29:31
Yeah, that's what I worked it down to.
29:33
And it was, at least. I probably had about 30 minutes
29:37
worth of time lapse footage. I mean like the total like you
29:42
working on it like 12 hours at least maybe like so.
29:49
Yeah, it was probably close to that.
29:51
The actual editing of the video did not take nearly that long.
29:55
And I mean like the issues with the computer and everything.
29:57
Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
29:58
Like 'cause that's. Part of the main the main part
30:00
of the issues was Adobe would crash my computer when I tried
30:06
to render files. Oh yeah, it just, it would just
30:10
blue screen, just I get halfway done rendering this file and
30:15
it's just gone. Just all the progress.
30:18
So yeah, it took forever to get it done because I had so many
30:23
crashes. I had to restart on certain
30:26
renderings and stuff but managed to get through it.
30:30
That's another thing with the freaking pool cleaners.
30:32
So my equipment broke. It's out there right now.
30:35
You saw it. It's in half a motors halfway
30:38
out of my equipment and this was.
30:41
I touched a part of a motor that I shouldn't be touching.
30:43
Yeah, it's, it's bare and it's sad.
30:45
Yeah. So it's very sad.
30:46
There's a part on the living room table, so I think that was
30:52
Thursday maybe. And it's funny because, like I
30:57
was telling you, I was using that as a backup because the
31:01
mower threw a belt. You know who doesn't have to
31:04
deal with belts throwing and motors crashing pool?
31:07
Cleaners. The pool guys, Oh no, my brush
31:11
broke. I got to go get a $12.00
31:13
replacement head. Like what was I thinking?
31:17
Why did nobody. Hey, man, before you spend 10
31:21
grand getting a brand new Husqvarna like full package, why
31:26
don't you think about doing like I don't anything else like, and
31:32
now that I'm coming up on four years, everything's starting to
31:35
be 4 years old. You mean tires have changed on
31:38
the mower in four years? None.
31:42
Not one. Yeah, So that's coming up.
31:45
I already I can already hear it. There goes one.
31:48
There goes another. Because I ran over a thorn and
31:50
it went through both tires on both side.
31:53
Yeah. No, I've already, I've already
31:57
snapped the wheels off the deck 10 times and haven't replaced
32:01
them, so that's already there. And then the belt, I've already
32:05
replaced both belts. That one was Thursday.
32:08
I've had to replace the seat completely because it just, it
32:12
completely fell apart. One of my fenders is completely
32:17
ripped off. My dad.
32:20
This is my very expensive mower. Yeah, crazy expensive mower.
32:28
The first, the very first time he used it, he went around the
32:32
corner and he was around the corner for like 10 minutes.
32:36
It's a regular like 4 bedroom house.
32:39
I have no idea where he went for 10 minutes, but he came back and
32:44
half the Fender was completely ripped off and I'm like hey man,
32:47
hey what the hell happened? He's like, I caught the thing
32:52
and it ripped it and before I could notice it literally tore
32:55
it completely off and he's like, I was trying to put it back on
32:59
and now it's just two, two pieces.
33:01
It's like it's fine, don't worry about it.
33:03
Don't worry about it. Yeah, completely ripped the, the
33:06
fairing off. I was like, OK, OK, moving on.
33:11
The I, I've never seen a, a pool guy change a belt or have to
33:17
replace half a motor on a peripheral.
33:20
And it's like, come on. I've never seen a pool guy shoot
33:23
43,000 photos for a minute and a half of work.
33:28
Well. We're so dumb.
33:31
We live in Florida. Well, do you know how much work
33:36
I did for those guys doing that paperwork?
33:40
No. Like, I I probably did less work
33:45
on getting those photos done than those guys did for the
33:48
paperwork. Well, yeah, the cameras were set
33:51
up for 25 hours. Yeah, ish.
33:54
Roughly speaking like they did crazy amounts of work yes Now
34:00
granted owner came out you know couple times a day just to check
34:05
on them see if they needed anything and then jump back in
34:08
his Ford light brand new Ford Lightning.
34:12
Is that the EV? Yeah, that's a lot.
34:15
That's a lot. Yeah, that's too much.
34:17
He I can't pull up to a job site and that.
34:19
I'll get I'll. Get run out of town with a
34:22
pitchfork. Oh yeah.
34:23
You can't do that pulls. Up.
34:25
You better pull up Ford Lightning.
34:27
Oh no, not a scratch. Freshly washed Ford Lightning.
34:32
I had a boss. Well, he's these poor guys are
34:36
drenched in sweat. I had a boss who after years of
34:42
no raises for the whole company, there's like 50-60 people
34:46
working there. It was like 3 years where nobody
34:49
of course, but the executives got a raise.
34:53
They got their bonus, not a raise.
34:55
So nobody gets a bonus, Nobody gets a raise.
34:57
You leave the Christmas party with a raffled prize or you
35:02
leave with nothing. He pulls up not with his 2006
35:10
fully limited edition expedition that he got 10 years ago.
35:17
He pulls up in a brand new Raptor when they came out.
35:20
Yeah. Yeah.
35:23
You've never heard such chatter from the peanut gallery.
35:27
Good God, man, these guys are running around in like 2008
35:32
escapes that are literally falling apart like like the tie
35:38
rods are snapping so the tires are are literally snapping to
35:41
the right on the highway like. Should be fair that happens on
35:44
brand new Ford Escapes. This is true.
35:46
So imagine their scare every morning coming to work in an O 8
35:51
when? Is it going to happen?
35:53
And it's it's guaranteed. I'm the guy when I was there who
35:56
took care of this stuff. So these guys would come to me
35:59
and they're like, hey, man, my Ford exploded on the highway and
36:06
I'm like, hey, no problem. They're like, no problem.
36:09
I'm like, yeah, let me, let me get it in.
36:11
I remember one we got it in and the, the guy who I had working
36:14
on him for years that he was my guy.
36:17
He was the manager of the the wherever we were taking him at
36:21
the time, Gator or tire or who cares?
36:24
And he was like, hey man, not great.
36:29
I was like, not great. I was like, I, I, yeah, I
36:32
assumed he goes, no, it's, it's way worse.
36:36
He goes. It wasn't anything to do with
36:39
the drivetrain or, or not the drivetrain, the the suspension,
36:44
the the rock, the roller arms, any of that stuff.
36:48
He goes a hole has appeared in the block.
36:52
What? Yeah.
36:53
Just. Boo exploded, blew out the block
36:58
upper. Cadabra hole appears.
37:00
I'm talking probably a 2 inch by two inch hole.
37:03
And I mean you can see the piston shaft through this hole
37:08
fully, fully blew out the side of this box.
37:12
So I was like, what do you want to do?
37:16
He goes, well, it's going to need a motor.
37:17
I was like, yeah, obviously it's going to need a motor.
37:21
What would you like to do? He goes it's it's like 100 or
37:25
260,000 miles. Why would you ever put a new
37:28
motor in this just for the tie rod to snap for you to snap on
37:32
the highway. I'm like, yeah, I agree.
37:34
He goes, so a new motor. Yeah, exactly.
37:37
So at that time, this is when the market was losing its mind
37:41
because of COVID. He goes, you can put 3 or 4
37:45
grand into this new motor or not new, but new to you motor.
37:51
You can do the suspension, you can do this, you can do that.
37:53
You can even replace the driver's seat that's been
37:55
collapsed for 60,000 miles and that the guys have literally
37:59
felt every Pebble on the road for a year.
38:03
And as we're talking, he goes, so this is the breakdown and
38:07
monthly, if you obviously get it all now monthly it comes out to
38:10
$136 a month for the next however many years you keep the
38:14
vehicle if you do this. So we get it and we take care of
38:20
it and they put a new, I think it's a lower end and they take
38:24
the top end and put it on the lower end and they put it back
38:26
in and it's, I don't know, 2600 and after labor it's 4100.
38:31
And that's our budget. So we don't replace the
38:35
suspension. You brought the vid back.
38:37
I can hear it. So they don't replace the
38:40
suspension, the tie rods, none of that stuff.
38:45
Like 3 months later the 2000 and six F-150 that I'm driving for,
38:51
the company absolutely explodes and dumps transmission fluid
38:57
everywhere. I'm towing a trailer from Miami
39:01
up back up to the shop in Sanford.
39:05
It's probably a three hour run, but it's a big trailer, dual
39:09
axle, 2020 foot, 22 foot, and it's fully loaded.
39:15
We closed an office in Miami, so it is fully loaded with the most
39:20
important, most expensive stuff and it weighs enough to squat
39:24
the axle. So I've been telling it for
39:26
three hours. I'm not kidding.
39:28
I got to the airport, I was 4 miles from the shop and it it
39:33
literally just goes boom and shimmies a little and then the
39:37
RPM tacks out because the engine is free flying with nothing
39:42
holding it back. So it slams up to like 6 Ki back
39:46
off and it just slowly grinds. Not even grind, just free flow
39:50
to a halt off to the side of the road.
39:52
I'm 4 miles from the shop so they get it in and I'm like what
39:57
do you want to do? He goes.
40:01
It's got 280,000 miles. It's an O6 quad cab.
40:04
It's got the the Crew Cab. Are you kidding me right now?
40:11
I'm sorry, I need a water. So there's a beer right there.
40:16
So we get the we get the quote back.
40:18
You'll never guess what it is. It's $4600 for a new
40:22
transmission. And it's not a transmission.
40:25
It's a Jasper baby. So Harlan Beverly, they're the
40:29
ones that did it. They subbed it out and Harlan
40:32
Beverly did it for it came out to like 42 after they, it was
40:37
like 48 and came out to like 42. But they put a new Jasper quote
40:42
UN quote, racing transmission and an O6F-150 with 280,000
40:49
miles. Why the last time?
40:52
Because he was right. Over the course of the lifetime
40:56
of this vehicle, you'll pay $136 a month.
41:00
If you get a new truck, it's 900 a month because you're not
41:03
getting a new truck, you're getting a new commercial truck.
41:06
That's for a company. So it's, it's 900.
41:10
And this is, this is 2020-2021. We're talking $100,000 regular
41:16
work trucks here. And so he was like, listen, put
41:20
it in and pray the motor stays. And as he's saying it, I know
41:25
full well the rear main seal is pouring oil.
41:28
I know that I drive it. It's like, so that was that was
41:34
my just absolute what are we doing here with this company?
41:38
And it it does make sense. But you know who never had to
41:43
replace a Jasper transmission or a blown out block?
41:47
The pool guys. They pull up on a bicycle or a
41:52
quad for that matter, a freaking tricycle.
41:56
And they can run their chlorine and scrub the pull because they,
41:59
I, I don't know if you know this, they don't take the
42:02
peripherals with them. They just take the chemicals out
42:05
of their truck into the So they leave the net and the scrubber
42:08
at the client's house so they could pull up on a motorcycle.
42:12
Because I'm an idiot. Anyway, that was my rant on the
42:18
pool guys. I got very upset about that
42:20
earlier. There's some good stuff there
42:23
though. I just wish anybody, anybody,
42:27
somebody besides the CPA, because I didn't listen to him.
42:31
No matter what he said, I still don't listen to him.
42:33
I should I, I wish anybody would have been like, hey man, I hear
42:38
you're starting a business. Congrats.
42:40
Maybe just not that business. I wish somebody would have said,
42:45
hey man, you're going to, you're going to spend more money on the
42:48
truck you're driving then you'll ever, ever dream of making.
42:54
Just just keep your money, put it into chlorine, put it into,
42:57
put it into Seminole pool supply stock and you'll, you'll get a
43:01
return way better than what you would have done.
43:04
And it's so funny I hear so many people say the same thing.
43:06
They're like, I never should have got into the restaurant or
43:10
I never should have done this. I never should have opened a
43:12
salon. And then you asking me like, all
43:15
right, would you go back to your last job?
43:16
And they're like, God, no, Oh my God, never.
43:20
Even if the whole management was fired, I'd never go back to my
43:23
old job. It's this is great.
43:25
I love this. It's like we're such we're so
43:28
spoiled. I can't imagine I would be such
43:32
a prima Donna if I was a pool cleaner.
43:35
No I'm not. I'm not going outside.
43:37
It's it's above 90 today. It's like the pools are fine.
43:41
I can get them tomorrow, they'll be fine.
43:43
I'd be one of those guys that wore the the Dyson air vac, the
43:49
the necklace with a Mr. Oh my God, it's so hot today.
43:55
Oh my God the the landscapers still here.
43:58
Carrying a A fan. A paper fan.
44:03
Oh my God, it makes me so happy just thinking about it.
44:09
So I wish you luck with that. Yeah, soon, soon.
44:13
I know you're just you're just breaking into your your thing
44:17
now. But what's your next step?
44:19
Five year plan? Give me, give me quick.
44:22
Well, five year plan would be doing it full time.
44:27
Oh yeah. So.
44:29
That's a given. I don't know, because I've kind
44:34
of left it open. I'm willing to basically do
44:40
whatever version of photography, videography I need to.
44:46
So I don't. I'm not like niching down
44:48
necessarily. That was my next thing.
44:51
If you were offered a six figure deal, whether that means exactly
44:56
100 grand or 999999 to be a Youtubers main videographer for
45:03
his channel and I'm talking you follow him around Jinxy Sade,
45:09
what's the other? Guy's name?
45:10
I'd be willing to. What's the other guy's name?
45:13
I don't sketch. I was like Sade.
45:14
I don't remember the other guy's name, Jinxy or Sketch.
45:18
If they're like I'm I'll give you 6 figures, but you got to
45:21
move here. You got to live in the streamer
45:22
house. You got a we're waking up at
45:25
7:00, we're going to bed at 7. Like there's a 24 hour run every
45:30
day. Anything I tell you to do, you
45:33
got to ride. Probably not.
45:35
You got to do the dumb shit. You got to have the, you know
45:37
what I mean? Yeah, that with those
45:39
stipulations now. No, I'm good.
45:42
I'll make 52 grand. I was going to say, so it's not,
45:45
it's not the money. It's not no.
45:48
OK. I mean, with the right, with the
45:50
right gig, sure. Like I'll take, I'll take the
45:54
money. Like, Oh yeah, MLB offers me,
45:58
you know, a similar thing where I follow a team and do their
46:01
like like something like Hard Knocks for the NFL.
46:05
Absolutely. I will do that all day long It
46:09
or Hard Knocks if I were to be asked to do like a behind the
46:14
scenes Hard Knocks, you know, 100 grand a year.
46:17
Absolutely. Is that like The Ultimate
46:19
Fighter? No.
46:20
So Hard Knocks is the like. The owner.
46:23
Behind the scenes of the football season for a football
46:27
team in the NFL. OK so the only thing I've ever
46:31
seen like BTS for a sports thing would be like Ultimate Fighter
46:38
like back when Chael Sonnen in. Oh, gotcha.
46:40
No, Rampage Jackson, all those guys when they were doing that
46:43
TV show, that's the only thing I compared.
46:45
To but it's it's less reality TV OK and more documentary style.
46:54
Oh my God, that was the best. SO watching Ultimate Fighter and
46:57
then switching over to Blue Mountain State.
47:00
Oh my God, after the party, like the day after a party when
47:03
you're already done for like what a what a day in what a day
47:07
in your sunburn from the beach trip and then you come home and
47:10
get smashed and then the next day it's all bed all day.
47:14
I'm playing Guitar Hero with Ultimate Fighter and Jersey
47:17
Shore in between. It's like, what a sounds awful.
47:20
What a piece of trash I was. Sounds awful.
47:24
I would do that tomorrow. I know you would, pool guy.
47:31
Eating my trail mix and Bush lights after a a a chili Mac
47:36
dinner. Jesus Christ.
47:38
I have to eat yet. Still hungry?
47:41
Yeah. But no, like, yeah, I, I, I
47:45
would like to, I hopefully I can land this gig, this contract I
47:54
pitched already to somebody, I'm not going to say the name, but
47:59
the assisted living facility downtown.
48:06
And she sounded very interested in my work.
48:10
I actually use the, the time lapse as a thing of my skill.
48:17
And she was very impressed by it.
48:19
And so basically she kind of gave me a timeline ask and said,
48:24
well, this is what we have to do.
48:25
And then I've got a call for a photographer to do real estate
48:30
style stuff to bring in new clients for this assisted
48:35
living. I looked at the condos like 2
48:39
buildings over from that assisted living.
48:41
Do you know what they're running for?
48:42
Like a 11. Oh, they're like crazy.
48:46
It's like 500 K Yeah, it's unbelievable.
48:49
So Amber and I were looking at condos 10 years ago.
48:53
That was what we're going to do first.
48:54
We were going to get a condo right there on the water, right
48:57
there. That building, you know which
48:59
one I'm talking about that building.
49:01
And they were 2:30 and we're like, that's crazy.
49:04
You can get a regular condo for 70 right now.
49:07
This was 2016 and we thought that was insane.
49:11
I'm like, I'm not paying 2:30 for a freaking 11900 or 800
49:16
square foot condo. And now they're 500 grand a
49:21
condo, 800 square foot condo on a lake.
49:27
It's not even the ocean like. But then again, that might
49:31
actually be where we're going because all the condos on the
49:34
beach right now are literally either falling over or they're
49:38
having $1,000,000 renegotiations with the tenants and saying,
49:43
hey, if we don't get $1,000,000 in our safety fund right now,
49:48
they're literally going to shut this place down.
49:50
Like full on the state will take it like and that was that was
49:58
after Daytona Beach was terrible.
49:59
Yeah, terrible. Well, I showed you when I went
50:02
down there, I showed you the the bottom of the balconies on the
50:05
condo that I used to live in or the the timeshare that I used to
50:09
stay in. But yeah, the like it's all like
50:12
that the whole place, every single place.
50:13
Like if it's not brand new, it looks, it's, it's from the 60s,
50:17
like it's, it's getting up there.
50:19
It's what is it 80 years old? No, I mean 60 years old.
50:23
So I mean, it's. It's getting up there.
50:25
Yeah, it's. And I don't know, man, maybe
50:27
that was the right idea, getting a condo on a lake somewhat
50:30
protected inland off this. I mean, you're still 45 minutes
50:34
from the beach, but. Yeah, you're not terrible.
50:36
I mean, I mean, it's a beautiful view out there it.
50:39
Is it's, it's just, it's. I think if maybe that's the way
50:43
to go assessment, that's the word.
50:45
I was thinking they're doing $1,000,000 assessments on these
50:48
properties and it's just, I don't know.
50:50
And that building's better than 90% of the buildings that you'll
50:54
ever find along the Atlantic Ocean.
50:57
Yeah, some of the stuff that I've stayed in, I was like, holy
51:01
shit. Like a lot of the staircases
51:04
going on to the beach, This is recent, within the last five or
51:07
six years. They've just destroyed them.
51:09
They're like, it's a liability. Somebody's going to get hurt.
51:12
It's going to fall when we're not here.
51:14
Just tear them all down. And now nearly every staircase
51:18
that used to be concrete coming off of the the pads where the
51:21
old condos used to be, they just tore them all down.
51:24
Yeah, it's it's so it's so weird, man.
51:26
Living here for 30 plus years and just seeing it all and all
51:32
the development and then seeing the beach development is a weird
51:36
one too. Like that.
51:37
That is such a strange like I don't even know how how to
51:42
explain it because it's nostalgic too.
51:44
Like that was our that was our place.
51:47
Like I was one of those kids that would leave school, grab
51:50
all of his boys and we'd run to the beach every day.
51:53
Like that was my my whole thing. And it's just so weird to see it
51:58
from then to now. Like it's nothing like it was
52:02
and it it makes sense. I mean, literally like the, the
52:04
frickin condo fell over. Like there was some shit with
52:08
that, like, Oh yeah. And now they're like, OK, nobody
52:11
gets to have any fun ever at all.
52:13
Like that was too much. We let y'all have way too much
52:17
rope and you, you whipped us with it.
52:20
Like that's enough. So I I get it.
52:22
And. Like property expense is.
52:25
With the insurance. It's like it's not just just
52:28
purchasing an undeveloped plot of land or Oh yeah, something
52:32
where a building was torn down and it's just an empty lot now
52:35
is almost not even worth it to put a building there.
52:39
No, you never. Well.
52:42
The insurance, well, like the taxes are insane.
52:45
Yeah, on that insurance alone, Yeah, on that without a building
52:51
on that. Without a mortgage, yeah, yeah,
52:53
I couldn't, I couldn't imagine building anywhere in Florida
52:56
right now. I don't know how these guys are
52:58
doing it. I I do know now that I say that
53:00
they're quantity, they build 1000 of these and that's they're
53:06
fine, but I just, I, I can't understand it how these can't
53:12
remember the term, but it's like they only build about 40 houses
53:15
at a time. They're like private.
53:17
Yeah, I think that's what it is. I think it's private builders.
53:20
They build like 40 houses at a time.
53:21
I have no idea how they do it. I have no clue how they make a
53:25
dime. I, I went by one the other day.
53:27
These things were 499. These houses that they built
53:31
were 499 three months ago, five months ago.
53:35
I go by the same place. It's 299.
53:39
I I don't understand how they make a dime.
53:42
I I feel like they're losing their shirt.
53:45
It's like two O 2008 all over again.
53:47
Like we go back and we're like, oh, I saw that.
53:49
I watched that happen like I watched him go bankrupt.
53:52
That's insane to think about like and it's true.
53:56
The taxes, the insurance, the the mortgage that they have on
53:59
this place is insane because the interest rates, like I'll never
54:03
understand how these guys are building houses.
54:05
I don't get it. I told you about that property
54:08
in Miami. No.
54:10
Two-story, I think it was like a Tutu, 2 story Tutu, skinny
54:15
little place, condemned. You can't live there.
54:20
You can't do anything with it. It's an immediate tear down or a
54:23
burn down. It's 500 grand.
54:25
Oh. My God, yeah.
54:26
You can't even live in it. You can't do anything with it.
54:28
You can't go inside the house. You can buy the property with a
54:32
building on it and immediately you are told by the city, you
54:36
have 30 days, tear it down, burn it down.
54:39
You got to do something because you can't have it on the
54:40
property because it's a it's a liability and all, even though
54:45
the city owns it, they're fine. But as soon as you buy it, so
54:50
literally 500 grand for I think it was like a, a Third Point, 3
54:56
acres. Oh.
54:57
God. And you got, you got to pay the
54:59
expense to tear it down and burn it down and haul it away and all
55:01
the environmental that comes with that.
55:03
And then you got to worry about everybody's gas line, power,
55:05
water, everything like. And then and then do.
55:08
Something with it, yeah. Yeah.
55:11
I I have no idea how people are doing this.
55:14
It doesn't make any sense to me. I just feel like I.
55:18
Don't I don't understand. It's, it's got to be VCs that
55:21
are just or the capital groups, they're just throwing money at
55:26
stuff and that that's what they did in O8 or O5O6 that led to O
55:32
8. They're just, they're literally
55:33
just the more places we have, the better it looks on our
55:37
books, the better our stock goes up.
55:38
We buy back stocks and then. Well, a major issue with O8,
55:47
which I don't, I don't think it's necessarily happening right
55:50
now, but it feels like it it could be, is the banks were just
55:56
giving loans. Yep, everybody has one.
55:58
Oh, yeah, yeah, no, no. And that was the.
56:00
Major reason for for the crash, I think it was the banks.
56:05
There was no collateral for any of the loans.
56:07
I think it was literally called no income loans.
56:09
Yeah, like they. Just don't care.
56:12
Take take this $500,000. Loan.
56:15
Oh my God. For no reason whatsoever, just
56:17
have all the money for no reason.
56:19
And that's and then people stopped paying it and there was
56:22
no collateral and they had nothing.
56:24
Houses were quote UN quote affordable, like like it
56:29
happened when it was quote UN quote UN affordable.
56:32
I cannot imagine now when these these banks have their books are
56:38
literally just houses that are three times more valuable than
56:42
they actually are. And I'm I'm glad they put some
56:46
kind of something on it, but I, I still don't think all that was
56:48
right. I think I think a lot more
56:51
people should have went to jail. I think one guy, one person for
56:57
the entire global economy crash. One guy went to jail and I think
57:02
it was because he was a whistle blower.
57:07
That doesn't sound right. Yeah, that does not sound right
57:10
at. All, I think it was one guy and
57:13
I think he was a whistleblower or some, somebody got stuck with
57:16
something and he had no idea what was in his portfolio.
57:20
And they're just like, oh, you still got your hands on it, come
57:22
here, give it, come here. And that's because everybody
57:25
else had the wherewithal. Did it's radioactive.
57:28
Get it out of the building. Like not even red and burn.
57:31
Yeah, don't even get it off the books.
57:32
Get it off the building. Like I I don't want anything to
57:35
ever. Throw it through that shredder
57:37
and then burn whatever's. And then take the Treader
57:40
outside like get it out of the building.
57:42
Yeah, it's gone. So make it disappear.
57:44
I think that whole thing was an absolute.
57:47
It's not like we have to freaking talk about it.
57:49
It's been talked about 1000 times, but a million times.
57:52
But obviously the one who hates the banks thinks it was bad.
57:57
Yeah, I think the bank should have had.
57:59
Yeah, no shit. If you, if you cut out all the
58:05
expletives that I say, this might actually be the closest
58:08
thing to a family friendly episode we have.
58:10
Like, and we could actually do something with that.
58:12
But no, I, I you're going to have to edit it.
58:15
I don't care. Cut it out and make it.
58:16
I'm, I'm say something else. Holy sunshine.
58:23
Now that seems like a lot of work.
58:26
No offense but he. Said editing 43,000 pictures for
58:30
a minute and 15 seconds. I could do like 1000 at a time
58:36
and it just took a few clicks the the rendering is what took
58:40
the longest. After it stopped blue screening.
58:42
After well you were it would I would get through like 6 or 7000
58:47
photos rendered out and then it just blue screened.
58:50
Well, that's my thing. Like, gone.
58:51
You know who doesn't have to worry about blue screening and
58:53
and and engines exploding? Cool guys.
58:57
Exactly. Like they don't have to have
58:59
extra equipment that I'm just going to keep going back to this
59:02
until I am one and then I'm going to be like, they're the
59:04
best. They're so cool.
59:05
You need to have a pool guys. Like you're going to be like,
59:08
Nah, this other. Yeah, why didn't nobody tell me?
59:11
Why didn't? Nobody tell me this other thing.
59:15
Oh, it's so stupid. Don't ever be a pool guy.
59:17
Hated it. I I'm just gaslighting people.
59:23
Landscaping's the best ever. I'm like, no, no, no.
59:25
Definitely be a pool guy. They have it so much easier.
59:28
Don't be a landscaper. Oh, Speaking of which, I noticed
59:31
today, I noticed this like 10 times already, but I keep
59:33
forgetting across the street, like literally your driveway,
59:39
the 10 foot St. the next house that if you walk straight out of
59:43
your front door, he's a landscaper.
59:46
We knew that. I know him.
59:47
We're cool. 2 houses down, that guy's a landscaper.
59:52
Like 3 or 4 houses down that way the other direction.
59:55
That guy's a landscaper. If you go down the street yeah
59:59
so and don't turn like you're going out of the neighborhood,
1:00:03
but go down that side street to the left yeah it's like every
1:00:08
3rd house there's a landscaping trailer yeah of.
1:00:11
Course, yeah. No, this, this, this
1:00:14
neighborhood. What is happening?
1:00:17
They're like ants. They're everywhere.
1:00:19
It's. So weird I've never like I've
1:00:21
I've had it where like I had a guy 4 houses down for me when I
1:00:25
started mine. He was a landscaper and then in
1:00:29
in the last house we were in, there was a guy 4 houses down.
1:00:33
He was a landscaper house before that.
1:00:35
He was probably like 2 streets over.
1:00:37
But yeah, they're, they're pretty hard packed in there.
1:00:39
I've never seen it like this. There's literally like there's
1:00:42
four guys in my view, in my sight line of sight.
1:00:46
And then if you turn down the next Rd. there's another 3 or 4.
1:00:49
It's crazy. I think it's something about
1:00:51
this area. Everybody just wants their
1:00:53
business, man. It's it's freaking it's, it's
1:00:57
downtown. I don't even know gumption.
1:01:00
Like we just, we see it and we're like, I got to have it.
1:01:03
Like I'm not, I'm not dealing with this jerk off every day.
1:01:07
I'm done. I'm doing my own thing.
1:01:09
I'm starting my own business. And for some reason, for some
1:01:13
reason, we all immediately go to landscaping in Florida.
1:01:17
Like I had I had managers back at UPS.
1:01:21
This was 15 years ago and they were like no, if I ever leave
1:01:25
UPS, I'm doing landscaping. The easiest thing I've ever
1:01:28
thought of. Like I'm doing landscaping and
1:01:30
I. Mean it's a lot of work.
1:01:31
Oh. My God, you see it's.
1:01:34
You, you get like, you see the progress being done.
1:01:39
Yeah. You, you see visually see work
1:01:43
being done and you can see how much you have left.
1:01:45
Yeah. So that's a benefit in and of
1:01:49
itself 'cause you see how much left you have.
1:01:52
And you you see what you've already done.
1:01:54
Oh my God, is that autism? Yeah.
1:01:56
Oh. My God, is that what that is?
1:01:59
There's also the fact that I don't think there is enough
1:02:05
landscapers to do the amount of landscaping actual landscaping
1:02:08
work there is. No, definitely not.
1:02:10
Because yeah, you have the guys that do the bare minimum and
1:02:14
stuff. Yeah, but the actual amount of
1:02:18
need in Florida, not necessarily need, but want for proper
1:02:23
landscaping is unreal. It's unbelievable.
1:02:27
It's never ending. Yeah.
1:02:28
And that's. I gotta take a breath.
1:02:33
That's why I started it, because I told you this the other day.
1:02:38
I called I think 20 companies and I got like 1 to respond and
1:02:44
then the guy who responded didn't even take the job.
1:02:47
He just told me about another guy who he works with who could
1:02:50
take the job. When I called that guy, we
1:02:54
talked for like 4 days. He's like, yeah, no problem,
1:02:56
definitely. Of course, no problem.
1:02:58
The day comes, he doesn't show up.
1:03:00
He has yet to text me back for like 8 months.
1:03:04
Oh my gosh, 20 companies listed on Google with reviews.
1:03:08
Of course if they have 0 reviews, I'm not calling.
1:03:10
Yeah, these guys have reviews, they have photos, they have
1:03:13
updates, they have they have company hours, they have an E
1:03:17
probably a website. If you got a website and
1:03:20
reviews, I'll call you. If not, ain't gonna happen
1:03:22
because I already I don't need to.
1:03:23
I already know. So these guys are quote UN quote
1:03:28
established and it's still I got I literally I literally had to
1:03:33
wait a week and just do it myself anyways.
1:03:35
I can't I cannot believe it. There's there's so many people
1:03:39
doing it and nobody's doing it like it's, it's a secret society
1:03:43
or something. And I, I don't understand.
1:03:45
I feel like I'm not in the club like because nobody else calls
1:03:48
me. Like for other work.
1:03:51
I never get like subcontracted ever.
1:03:54
Nobody ever calls me and they're like, hey man, I need a hand.
1:03:57
I'm too busy. Never happens, but I'm the only
1:04:01
one that's going hey, man, I'm stacked for like 4 the next 4
1:04:04
weeks. I can't possibly make another
1:04:06
account like work. Can you please take care of it
1:04:08
for me? I'll pay you.
1:04:10
They'll pay you. I pay you like I won't make any
1:04:13
money. I just need this account.
1:04:15
I never hear back from them. I feel like I'm.
1:04:17
I'm going insane. Yeah.
1:04:18
You know who doesn't have to deal with this?
1:04:21

1:04:27
Hated it.
