  Speaker 1: things that I don't know we take enough advance of,

  Speaker 1: Andrew is the opportunity for folks to call in during

  Speaker 1: two one thirteen ten. That's six eight three two one
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: thirteen ten gets you on the air with Andrew Larson
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: from Larst Home Services. We are at a at a
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: cross country banquet last night, and of course all the
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: parents are sitting at their uh, at their table as
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: far away from those kiddos as possible because they're.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: So dang loud.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: But you want to guess what we were talking about
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: around the table last night as as as the parents.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Were gathering gutters, living.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Gutters, gutters and specifically down spouts, and I said, I said,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I said there you should well you were you're and
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: this is this is not a joke. You were met
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I talked about you. I said, you know, I've been
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: doing the show with Andrew for years now. And one
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: of the things I learned because uh, the one the
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: one parent had commented about noticing on a house that
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: had larger down spouts, I said, you know, I learned
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: from Andrew Larson. I said that that those bigger down spouts,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: aside from allowing like more to breed and water to
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: go down they also work like there's like more suction.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: It's almost like a vacuum, pulling that water down and
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: out and away from and shooting it out away from
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: your house. I said, it's important to have those. It's
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: it's more than just looking good. It's also about functioning well,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: isn't it. Wow?
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: You know you know that you're getting older and you've
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: really become a parent, and that's your conversation. You know, Yeah,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: you guys probably weren't even drinking.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: No, no, we were drinking drinking bottled water and gatorade.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Yes, no, obviously it is very important. And you know
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: you text me and you usually text me every morning,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: and what do you want to talk about? And you know,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: how how long have we been doing this? I don't
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: even know.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: We're probably getting close to ten years. And that's not
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: an exaggeration.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: We may have had a long time. Yeah, So I
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: think about the show and what do I want to
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: talk about? Wow? If you want to talk about gutters
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: roughing your insulation, which is stuff that's very near and
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: dear to my heart. And I do consider myself an
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: expert in all of these, in all of these areas,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: but that, to me, that's not necessarily just what this
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: show is about it We want I want to help people.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: You know, we do our podcast and we get a
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: lot you know, obviously social media is easier to interact,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: right It's it's very easy to go on Spotify or
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: or or iTunes or Facebook, Instagram wherever the podcast is
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: and ask questions and we have somebody who monitors it,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: and then we try to answer questions. On the show.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: We reward people with what I call a little Wisconsin love.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: What else would that be besides a quick trip gift
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: card for asking good questions? And I kind of would
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: like to do the same thing here. I mean, I
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: know there's a lot of people that have been listening
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: to this for for many years, and I know that
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: you gain new listeners. But I want to help people
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: when it comes to home improvement or construction of any sort.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: So when it's asked the experts. Am I an expert
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: in everything? Absolutely not, but I know people who are.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: So if you've got questions about you know, Gunter's roofing insulation,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: that's an easy I'll easy one, I'll answer it, and
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: many other home improvement things. But it could be literally anything,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: foundation work, basement, waterproofing, siding, foundation, framing, landscaping, you name it.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: I want to answer those questions. And I have an
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: email address that our appointment centers look at very closely.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: And I know I've talked about Larson Kinni and Larson
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Home Services and Kini Home Services. This email address goes
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: to We have a lot of shared people in our
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: call center when we set appointments is shared so that
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: the email address is actually called office at Larsonkini dot com.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: They all monitor that they look at that constantly every day.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: So if you have any questions that you would like
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: answered and I can answer on the air, just email
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: that it's office at Larson Keeney l A R s
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: O n k E n e e y Kenie and

  Speaker 2: I can answer it on the show. Because I really
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: like the show to be a lot more interactive. Yes, honestly,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I start running out of ideas and I don't want
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: it to just be let's talk about roof, let's talk
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: about gutters today. Obviously we'll sprinkle that in, but I
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: would love to have help people with specific questions, maybe
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: get a little bit more in depth than what Google
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: can get you. Maybe some first hand, real world experience
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: instead of AI answering it because now I think Google
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: AI answers everything on Google now, which I like, you
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: know it is. But I have experiences. I have many, many,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: many stories of those experiences throughout the years. And uh,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: but please know office at Larson Kini dot com. Ask
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: questions and we can answer them on the show and
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: make it more personal and interactive.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: And that's office at Larson l A R s O
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: N keenye k e n e e y dot com.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: All one word Office at Larson Kini dot com. If
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: you want to remember how to spell keenie, it's it's
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: one E two e's three e's makes keenie. So you
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: got first e N, two e's y, you get keenie
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: one two three key right, that's right, that's three e's.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Three e's. It's not a real common last name, No, it's.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I always want to add an a or make the
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: first two e's. It's it's one e followed by uh
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: an n and then two.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: E's or yeah and well, And to be completely honest
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: with you, it's probably gonna get easier because I think
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: the beginning of the year we might do a little
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: bit of a rebrand it look, it's just it's almost
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: necessary because we've gotten you know, I personally, I think
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: you do the right thing and good things will happen.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: But me and Josh Keeney has been my best friend
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: for many, many years, and we started our companies at
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: the same time. We grew our companies together, just on
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: opposite sides of the state, and we always did the
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: exact same thing. We always did gutters, roofing, and insulation,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: and we worked together. And then we started sharing people,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: marketing director, social media people, call center, hr accounting, And
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: now I think it's kind of now we're just getting
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: to the point where it's like maybe we just join them,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: so we'll be coming out with more about that. I
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: don't want it to be confusing. We literally are the
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: exact same companies. My instamators could go work up there,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: they could come work down here. My gutter installers installation
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: installers could go work up there. They could come work
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: down here, which we do all the time. We share people,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: so it's most likely going to end up being larsen
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: kiniomeservices dot com, just because it's the best way to
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: do for us for branding and marketing to get a
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: hold of everybody, but yes, office at Larson Kinnie dot com.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: You can google it if you can't remember how to
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: spell it. But bring the questions anything related to construction, landscaping,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: home improvement, anything at all. And we can really dive
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: into these questions during the show.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: And I think one of the great and for folks
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: that have listened to the show for years. One of

  Speaker 2: how to do it. I don't know if I would.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: I was a serial DYI or for a long time
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: because it's really all I could afford. And I can
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: tell you I did some work that wasn't the best.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I think about some of the stories that you've shared
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: over the years about about encounters of roofing jobs, specifically
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: where we're like, you know, father, father in law, uncle, homeowner,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: all get together and they did it over a weekend,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: only to realize they didn't do a very good job,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: and they're trying to save money, and at the end
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: of the day, not only did they not save that money,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: there's all that waste created, all that time lost, and
