00:00:26.710 --> 00:00:28.489
of all, I want to say apologies for last week.

00:00:28.570 --> 00:00:30.550
I know we were supposed to do an episode on Thursday.

00:00:30.710 --> 00:00:33.869
I had a situation to take care of. I was on the

00:00:33.869 --> 00:00:35.329
clock. I couldn't find my leg. Yeah, I know,

00:00:35.429 --> 00:00:37.210
right? I couldn't find my leg. We couldn't find

00:00:37.210 --> 00:00:38.829
his leg. We couldn't find his leg. That was a

00:00:38.829 --> 00:00:41.450
medical emergency. It was in the mountains. How

00:00:41.450 --> 00:00:44.109
did you get there? Try and do that. Cock -a -doodle

00:00:44.109 --> 00:00:47.439
-doo boomerang shit like you did last time. But

00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:49.740
anyways guys, welcome back to the tuning podcast

00:00:49.740 --> 00:00:52.259
another dish on a Tuesday night We do have another

00:00:52.259 --> 00:00:54.520
one on Thursday with another guest. Well without

00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:57.399
be coming in that night at 7 30 p .m But tonight

00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:00.200
we are making catching up on who we're supposed

00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:04.760
to have on our podcast On this week's episode

00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:07.680
We've always had the question, you know, if you

00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:11.180
remember back in the day chew how Southwestern

00:01:11.180 --> 00:01:16.719
Bell would Yeah, Southwestern Bell or CPNL was

00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:20.340
pretty much monopolizing the valley with just

00:01:20.340 --> 00:01:23.400
them were the only ones that required electricity.

00:01:23.739 --> 00:01:25.159
Well, to be fair, they're the only companies

00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:28.980
who knew the valley exists. Exactly. So fortunately,

00:01:29.140 --> 00:01:32.120
years down the road, more companies came down

00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:35.379
and there was more options. And unfortunately,

00:01:35.540 --> 00:01:38.439
that monopolized it just would crash and burn

00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:42.230
and what's on so forth. But anyways, On this

00:01:42.230 --> 00:01:46.430
week's episode, it's not only just one internet

00:01:46.430 --> 00:01:48.430
service area out there. There's a lot more other

00:01:48.430 --> 00:01:50.049
services out there. And here's one of them today.

00:01:50.329 --> 00:01:52.450
And I'll let them introduce themselves. But today

00:01:52.450 --> 00:01:55.349
on the podcast, I have, so I get this right,

00:01:55.950 --> 00:01:59.329
Danny, Frank, and Juan in the podcast. That's

00:01:59.329 --> 00:02:03.409
good. These guys just work in the corner, man.

00:02:03.590 --> 00:02:04.709
They just say, oh, you want to buy internet,

00:02:04.930 --> 00:02:34.090
bro? Yeah, we do door -to -door sales we're professionals

00:02:34.090 --> 00:02:39.319
in it A lot of people don't understand what that

00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:42.340
is, but basically it's just you literally knocking

00:02:42.340 --> 00:02:59.300
the door and offering something, you know? So

00:02:59.300 --> 00:03:00.860
you go out there and you go door -to -door and

00:03:00.860 --> 00:03:03.840
you offer yeah, and we get that a lot one time

00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:07.580
we went to this house Oh, yeah one time while

00:03:07.580 --> 00:03:10.340
one of the one of the reps I had dropped them

00:03:10.340 --> 00:03:12.979
off and we were we were working a neighborhood

00:03:12.979 --> 00:03:17.099
and this guy's like Yeah, bro. Uh, my first door

00:03:17.099 --> 00:03:19.379
got us out right away. I was like awesome, dude

00:03:19.379 --> 00:03:22.280
He's like, yeah, he's gonna let me inside and

00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:26.860
he has me on speaker and the guy's like Okay,

00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:29.780
are you ready? And the guy's like, yeah, you

00:03:29.780 --> 00:03:32.719
stay right there turns around shotgun to this

00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:36.379
to his chest holy crap and the guys like the

00:03:36.379 --> 00:03:40.360
guys like and and like sir you have a gun pointed

00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:42.159
at me he said it because i was i was speaking

00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:44.659
i was hearing him and i was like oh i was like

00:03:44.659 --> 00:04:06.259
hey just stay there dude if you move a lot he

00:04:06.259 --> 00:04:09.539
probably would have done something so right That's

00:04:09.539 --> 00:04:11.639
crazy. He chilled out because I was on the phone

00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:14.020
with him and then from there he's like, all right,

00:04:14.099 --> 00:04:17.279
I'm calling the police. And then the cops showed

00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:23.870
up and they actually asked the rep. If he wanted

00:04:23.870 --> 00:04:30.769
to press charges, it was crazy. He wasn't there

00:04:30.769 --> 00:04:32.769
to do any harm. They were trying to sell something

00:04:32.769 --> 00:04:35.370
or offer a different something to offer on them.

00:04:35.449 --> 00:04:39.189
He was invited in too. That's crazy. Why don't

00:04:39.189 --> 00:04:42.470
you step into the door? That's the only way I

00:04:42.470 --> 00:04:46.350
can shoot you. That means the law won't take

00:04:46.350 --> 00:04:50.029
me in. Jesus Christ. I'm just going to put a

00:04:50.029 --> 00:04:52.069
chalk out here. You don't pay attention to that.

00:04:53.379 --> 00:04:55.779
So tell a little bit about yourself. Danny, start

00:04:55.779 --> 00:04:58.399
with you, man. Where you grew up. And we'll go

00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.699
down the line. Go ahead. So there's a lot of

00:05:01.699 --> 00:05:07.420
things that I've done in this industry for door

00:05:07.420 --> 00:05:11.819
to door. And I think I started doing this about

00:05:11.819 --> 00:05:14.480
seven, eight years ago. I've been in this field

00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:18.259
for a while. I've built an organization with

00:05:18.259 --> 00:05:23.980
like 50 plus members. from scratch and it's it's

00:05:23.980 --> 00:05:28.079
cool because it's something where I don't have

00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:30.120
you know someone telling me hey go to work you

00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:33.519
know hey go to work do this do this I'm happy

00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:37.819
I'm not working by the hour you know right I

00:05:37.819 --> 00:05:40.779
think my first thing I ever started doing was

00:05:40.779 --> 00:05:45.220
selling door -to -door for something called deregulated

00:05:45.220 --> 00:05:47.540
electricity you know how back in the day they

00:05:47.540 --> 00:05:51.350
used to have uh light all that stuff at a co

00:05:51.350 --> 00:05:54.589
-op at a monopoly and then they deregulated it.

00:05:54.910 --> 00:05:57.750
Spots like that opened up like here. There's

00:05:57.750 --> 00:05:59.949
a spot up there in Lubbock, Texas that just opened

00:05:59.949 --> 00:06:03.029
up and it's just crews and crews of people doing

00:06:03.029 --> 00:06:07.949
that over there. So I came from that and they

00:06:07.949 --> 00:06:10.329
were telling me a hundred dollars a sale and

00:06:10.329 --> 00:06:13.209
I was just like, I need a thousand bucks. So

00:06:13.209 --> 00:06:15.250
I was doing 10 a week every week. It was awesome.

00:06:20.819 --> 00:06:23.139
Yeah, that was my mark dude as soon as I hit

00:06:23.139 --> 00:06:26.079
a 10 mark Like if I caught it in the first three

00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:28.560
days, okay, I'll chill out for a while. Right,

00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:31.759
right But it was cool. That's it's my background

00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:36.000
and then we started something two years ago for

00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:41.500
the telecom So we're fiber pros now, but we didn't

00:06:41.500 --> 00:06:46.000
start that way. We started doing Electricity

00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:49.930
so now we're doing Wi -Fi cells So what else

00:06:49.930 --> 00:06:54.069
is better than selling someone something where

00:06:54.069 --> 00:06:59.610
all you're doing is a bill swap. You're not adding

00:06:59.610 --> 00:07:02.149
expenses to somebody's life by selling what we

00:07:02.149 --> 00:07:05.290
sell. All you do is get something that you're

00:07:05.290 --> 00:07:07.350
already paying for and then you just make it

00:07:07.350 --> 00:07:11.949
cheaper. So that's all we do really. Wherever

00:07:11.949 --> 00:07:14.649
you live, that's where you can get service. It's

00:07:14.649 --> 00:07:17.949
pretty cool. That's about me. You know, that's

00:07:17.949 --> 00:07:21.129
pretty much what I do Other than that if I'm

00:07:21.129 --> 00:07:28.629
not doing this man I'd say I'm out there like

00:07:28.629 --> 00:07:34.889
doing some crazy shit, you know Yeah, that's

00:07:34.889 --> 00:07:39.959
what I'm doing and I'm like hey, dude I knocked

00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:44.779
this random guy's door and he had a whole bottle

00:07:44.779 --> 00:07:47.759
of moonshine and I think we're... I'm going to

00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:52.360
do this for the rest of the day. Knock on doors,

00:07:52.360 --> 00:08:03.019
see what we're doing. This opens your eyes, it

00:08:03.019 --> 00:08:06.120
tells you people are friendly and it's a real

00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:08.600
big thing here in Westlaco because Westlaco...

00:08:08.649 --> 00:08:11.629
Dude, everybody's nice as hell here like not

00:08:11.629 --> 00:08:15.449
very nice You where I come from where I was born,

00:08:15.589 --> 00:08:18.110
Brownsville, Texas. I was there for a long time

00:08:18.110 --> 00:08:21.129
It's a good city But now it's packs too packed

00:08:21.129 --> 00:08:25.769
for me to go back and and live there cuz When

00:08:25.769 --> 00:08:28.329
you go to Walmart, there's like four or five

00:08:28.329 --> 00:08:30.329
people behind you dude waiting for you to finish,

00:08:30.529 --> 00:08:33.350
you know You looking at whatever you need to

00:08:33.350 --> 00:08:36.129
it's pretty packed right now and the West look

00:08:36.129 --> 00:08:39.299
oh, it's super nice here Go ahead and look at

00:08:39.299 --> 00:08:41.440
him standing in front of the church. It's blue.

00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:44.100
Just grab a color. But they're all different

00:08:44.100 --> 00:08:49.659
shades. I need to take my time. One has to call

00:08:49.659 --> 00:08:53.440
my name. One has to call it. Frank, what about

00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:56.000
you, man? What's going on? Talk to us. I live

00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:58.019
in Fort Texas. I've been living there most of

00:08:58.019 --> 00:09:03.200
my life. I've been doing the door -to -door thing

00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:08.159
for about two years. and I'm still learning.

00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:12.120
I mean, we learn something new every day. I met

00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:18.179
Danny not too long ago, but it's been an experience

00:09:18.179 --> 00:09:20.960
and then every day we learn something different.

00:09:27.500 --> 00:09:31.039
It's a really good thing to do. What did you

00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:32.899
do before, before you did the door to door thing?

00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:39.059
Mostly customer service, jobs, you know, I work

00:09:39.059 --> 00:09:42.320
in a call center. Oh, okay. Also you have more

00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:44.600
or less an experience already what you need to

00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:47.120
do. Yeah, talking to people. Right, right, right.

00:09:47.340 --> 00:09:50.159
Yes. Communications. A lot of the experience

00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:55.000
like that, you know, either on the phone or face

00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:57.919
to face. Right, right. So it's something you

00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:03.940
got to feel comfortable with. or develop the

00:10:03.940 --> 00:10:11.679
ability to talk to people so they can feel at

00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:16.620
ease with you and feel comfortable and that way

00:10:16.620 --> 00:10:18.960
they can trust you. Is that what drew you to

00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:23.539
the job? To sales? Yeah. You're interacting with

00:10:23.539 --> 00:10:28.659
people. Yeah, pretty much. I love it. Even though

00:10:28.659 --> 00:10:33.659
we're out there, in the heat or the cold or whatever.

00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:38.879
I really like doing this. It's the interaction

00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:42.580
with people. And I hear what you're saying, man,

00:10:42.679 --> 00:10:44.440
because when you're a door -to -door salesman,

00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:47.019
you interact with a lot of people. Not only that,

00:10:47.059 --> 00:10:48.799
you meet a lot of new people that you wouldn't

00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:50.600
think you would ever meet. You guys have to meet

00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:52.419
new people every day. Yeah, I hear you say, man,

00:10:52.539 --> 00:10:54.200
my camera's going way out of focus here, man.

00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:57.009
What the hell's going on? Anyways. Too ugly.

00:10:57.350 --> 00:11:01.549
Shut up. But for some reason, I feel that Juan

00:11:01.549 --> 00:11:03.629
is the ringer here, man, because Juan's quiet.

00:11:03.870 --> 00:11:07.129
Juan's too quiet. Yeah. He's analyzing the room.

00:11:07.889 --> 00:11:10.230
Let me show these guys. Let me show this guy

00:11:10.230 --> 00:11:14.809
what it's all about, man. Who's going out first?

00:11:15.110 --> 00:11:18.070
Tell a little bit about yourself, Juan. OK. Need

00:11:18.070 --> 00:11:22.470
a microphone or just talk loud? You got one in

00:11:22.470 --> 00:11:27.129
your chest, man. All righty. Yes. This young

00:11:27.129 --> 00:11:31.470
man are little babies compared to my age. I'm

00:11:31.470 --> 00:11:34.129
not gonna tell you just yet how old I am, but

00:11:34.129 --> 00:11:39.970
I've been retired for 13 years. I was in the

00:11:39.970 --> 00:11:46.070
working world for 47 years before I retired.

00:11:46.850 --> 00:11:50.610
And basically all my life I've done, I've worked

00:11:50.610 --> 00:11:57.600
for myself. I've had businesses. I started out

00:11:57.600 --> 00:12:02.220
in the fields, working in Michigan, Florida,

00:12:02.860 --> 00:12:05.759
picking whatever fruits that needed to be done.

00:12:06.179 --> 00:12:10.440
I mean, I dragged my wife and my kid all on the

00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:13.759
road. And then I say, hey, man, this is getting

00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:17.759
tiring. And when it's hot, it's hot. And when

00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:21.639
it's cold, it's cold. Right, right. Remember,

00:12:22.740 --> 00:12:27.159
now again, I'm hitting to tell you how old I

00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:33.100
am. Anyway, my son was three years old and me

00:12:33.100 --> 00:12:36.360
and my wife, you know, always liked to be the

00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:39.720
top pickers on anything, you know. And we were

00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:43.879
picking apples. It was getting late in the season.

00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:47.360
It was almost time to come back. to the valley.

00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:50.679
Right. Because once the first flurry say, I have

00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:55.080
a name. Oh, yeah. And my son would say, my name

00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:59.379
is Juan, but I changed it to J .C. OK. My name

00:12:59.379 --> 00:13:02.279
is Juan and I go by J .C. and my last name is

00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:05.860
Castro. Right. Right. My my son would say, Juan,

00:13:06.139 --> 00:13:14.700
you know, peace. Anyway, from there, you know

00:13:14.700 --> 00:13:18.500
what, we need to change jobs. So I came back

00:13:18.500 --> 00:13:22.360
home and my sister had some businesses going.

00:13:23.820 --> 00:13:28.279
And I asked my brother -in -law, hey, you got

00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:31.799
a job? Yeah, you wanna sell carpet? Because this

00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:32.899
is what his business was selling carpet. Oh,

00:13:33.019 --> 00:13:34.820
okay, right. Carpet salesman, all right. Yeah,

00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:36.639
carpet sales, flooring salesman. There you go.

00:13:37.259 --> 00:13:41.500
And I said, yeah, get in there. We'll get you

00:13:41.500 --> 00:13:44.019
a car and you can drive up all it up and down

00:13:44.019 --> 00:13:46.740
the valley and the valley was starting to grow

00:13:46.740 --> 00:13:49.679
Right. There's a lot of construction So I go

00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:52.799
from Brownsville all the way to to Rio Grande

00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:56.860
City trying to sell it, you know make sales and

00:13:56.860 --> 00:14:00.679
You would feel great once you got a good sale

00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:02.860
and this is a mission and this was a door -to

00:14:02.860 --> 00:14:05.799
-door also yeah that first yes, this was a door

00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:10.000
-to -door and then I got to the point that I

00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:12.940
said, you know what? I don't wanna work for my

00:14:12.940 --> 00:14:15.539
brother -in -law anymore, so I opened up my own

00:14:15.539 --> 00:14:20.519
retail store. And I said, well, where am I gonna

00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:24.879
put my store or my business? So I was talking

00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:27.279
to my mom, I said, hey, well, I got the garage

00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:30.120
sale, just clean it out, put your samples in

00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:33.700
and work out of the garage. One thing led to

00:14:33.700 --> 00:14:38.200
the other, and I started learning or knowing

00:14:40.800 --> 00:14:45.980
suppliers, and how to do a retail work. Right.

00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:49.960
And I was doing so good that this rep says, oh,

00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:54.519
you want, you want to open up a store? I've started

00:14:54.519 --> 00:15:00.159
working for this manufacturer in Georgia. OK.

00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:03.080
He's looking for outlets down here, people to

00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:07.779
sell his products. And he said, well, OK. but

00:15:07.779 --> 00:15:09.799
I don't have any credit." I said, well, I'll

00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:12.139
give you some credit. I start you off with five,

00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:16.720
$10 ,000 credit. Just find you a warehouse. Just

00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:19.279
find you a warehouse so we can ship you the products

00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:23.980
and you can start from there. Everything started

00:15:23.980 --> 00:15:26.840
falling in place. I don't know, I have all night,

00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:31.700
but this story goes a little bit wrong. I said,

00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:36.210
well, okay, let me see what I can find. So I

00:15:36.210 --> 00:15:39.490
went up and down the street and the highways

00:15:39.490 --> 00:15:43.070
and I found this perfect spot. Needed a little

00:15:43.070 --> 00:15:48.269
work, you know, a lot of cleaning. Of course.

00:15:48.789 --> 00:15:52.309
So we cleaned it up and I said, okay, I got a

00:15:52.309 --> 00:15:56.450
place. I said, okay, let's write down the list

00:15:56.450 --> 00:15:58.889
of what you think you're going to need. Right.

00:15:59.070 --> 00:16:02.210
And I said, okay, so I get what, a maximum of

00:16:02.210 --> 00:16:06.139
$10 ,000 of credit? He said, yeah. But the good

00:16:06.139 --> 00:16:09.120
thing is you don't have to pay it all at once

00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:13.159
or in 30 days, just pay as you sell. Right. Consignment.

00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:19.220
I mean, sounds good. So I started. We started

00:16:19.220 --> 00:16:23.100
doing the list and I said, hey, how much have

00:16:23.100 --> 00:16:25.559
we written down? Oh, you're right at twenty five

00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:29.179
thousand dollars. Wow. Damn. They say, well,

00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:31.159
what is your boss going to say? Hey, don't worry.

00:16:31.460 --> 00:16:35.080
Let's just get it down here. So just find yourself

00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:38.779
somebody, if you got a buddy with a trailer,

00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:44.100
tell them to go pick it up and tell them to bring

00:16:44.100 --> 00:16:47.899
it down to you. I said, okay, I got a lot of

00:16:47.899 --> 00:16:51.200
friends that are truck drivers, the old truck

00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:54.799
drivers from back then. And I had this friend

00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:58.299
and he said, I'll pick it up there, but you got

00:16:58.299 --> 00:17:00.700
to go to Fort Worth and pick it up. It was at

00:17:00.700 --> 00:17:03.190
Fort Worth in Dallas. and Irving somewhere in

00:17:03.190 --> 00:17:05.329
there. You see, I can pick it up there because

00:17:05.329 --> 00:17:11.450
that's where the old, all the muata of carpet

00:17:11.450 --> 00:17:13.990
outlets are in the warehouses. Right. So you

00:17:13.990 --> 00:17:17.150
go pick it up there and you can bring it down

00:17:17.150 --> 00:17:19.450
to me. Oh, OK, no problem. I'm going to go to

00:17:19.450 --> 00:17:21.170
Chicago on the way. And the way back, I'll pick

00:17:21.170 --> 00:17:24.589
it up and bring it to you. Damn. Everything worked

00:17:24.589 --> 00:17:29.529
fine. He got here and the owner of the warehouse

00:17:29.529 --> 00:17:33.069
says, hey, Juan. don't send me that guy anymore.

00:17:33.269 --> 00:17:36.569
Why? Because his truck, his floor was all breaking

00:17:36.569 --> 00:17:51.250
apart. And he got down here and said, now we're

00:17:51.250 --> 00:17:53.410
going to get all that stuff down. We didn't have

00:17:53.410 --> 00:17:57.130
a forklift or anything. So the man called up

00:17:57.130 --> 00:18:00.279
a couple of. a forensic study with a rope in

00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:03.299
the truck and pulled him down. Jesus Christ.

00:18:03.779 --> 00:18:06.299
Kind of displayed him and the rest is history.

00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:09.660
There you go. Wow. I went from there. It was

00:18:09.660 --> 00:18:13.480
like a five, six hundred square feet warehouse.

00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:16.640
And then five years later, I moved to a three

00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:20.799
thousand square foot warehouse downtown. There

00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:23.380
you go. And five years after that, I bought a

00:18:23.380 --> 00:18:26.099
property on the expressway and I had ten thousand

00:18:26.099 --> 00:18:29.940
square feet of carp. Jesus Christ. And then we

00:18:29.940 --> 00:18:34.460
picked up the U -Haul business also next door.

00:18:34.579 --> 00:18:39.660
So I had plenty of room. Yeah. And we started

00:18:39.660 --> 00:18:42.700
clicking, selling carpet. Carpet was king in

00:18:42.700 --> 00:18:46.299
the 70s, 80s and 90s. Right. Right. It was king.

00:18:46.299 --> 00:18:49.920
Right. And I was making big bucks. Yeah. And

00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:56.019
then Home Depot comes in. There you go. Rose

00:18:56.019 --> 00:19:00.529
comes in. And you know, I had banks that would

00:19:00.529 --> 00:19:05.029
buy my paper, and then these guys come in, new

00:19:05.029 --> 00:19:11.150
store, big store, and everybody had credit. And

00:19:11.150 --> 00:19:17.190
my credit approval was 90 or 50%. And they'd

00:19:17.190 --> 00:19:20.269
give, you know, a hassle with all the customers.

00:19:21.329 --> 00:19:25.819
And then business started slowing down. And by

00:19:25.819 --> 00:19:29.700
that point, I had already paid off all my properties

00:19:29.700 --> 00:19:33.240
and inventory. And I said, told my wife, you

00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:36.480
know what? This is not working anymore. We're

00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:39.079
losing money. Right. Right. So, you know, country

00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:41.579
losses. Yeah, it's time to sell. Right. Right.

00:19:41.779 --> 00:19:46.359
So everything and I retired 13 years ago. Four

00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:49.299
years ago, my wife passed away. So I became.

00:19:49.859 --> 00:19:53.380
a widower, and I don't want to say he's great,

00:19:53.619 --> 00:19:56.019
but I've met a lot of old ladies since then.

00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:01.359
Hey, hey, hey, hey, watch it now. I did say I'm

00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:06.900
not available right now. I'm not sure we're going

00:20:06.900 --> 00:20:12.200
to say I'm not a little whiner. Well, we'll ask

00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:16.220
you tomorrow. Anyway, and then I'll meet Danny.

00:20:18.049 --> 00:20:21.650
But it was, it's a different door to door business.

00:20:22.309 --> 00:20:26.009
But I had been out of contact with the customers

00:20:26.009 --> 00:20:29.349
for 13 years. So I decided, you know what, I

00:20:29.349 --> 00:20:31.549
have to do something. It's like riding a bike.

00:20:31.890 --> 00:20:33.829
You just get back on there and do it. You never

00:20:33.829 --> 00:20:39.289
forget. But I'm getting older, my body doesn't

00:20:39.289 --> 00:20:42.829
respond the way we want it. So, but Robert, I

00:20:42.829 --> 00:20:45.880
mean, Dan. It's got me in another position, which

00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:51.079
I love. And I'm learning, and the door -to -door

00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:53.799
is a little bit too much for me right now, until

00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:57.890
I learn the tricks. I look at him and say, oh,

00:20:58.049 --> 00:21:02.769
man, these guys are good. I got you. Anyway,

00:21:03.569 --> 00:21:05.869
better cut it a little short. Let somebody else

00:21:05.869 --> 00:21:12.950
do the talking. You should tell them what you

00:21:12.950 --> 00:21:16.990
do now. So he doesn't focus like it's not always

00:21:16.990 --> 00:21:20.869
door to door. You know what I mean? He does online.

00:21:24.819 --> 00:21:30.000
He's getting that internet money So I'm getting

00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:33.500
The vibes back in see I told this guy's hey,

00:21:33.579 --> 00:21:35.859
man I gotta get all this rust out of my brain

00:21:35.859 --> 00:21:39.359
and started get it working again, right? but

00:21:39.359 --> 00:21:45.799
Then my age like right now I'm gonna be 76 See

00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:49.680
so and but I need to do something. I just can't

00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:55.000
just stop and do nothing. I have to press ahead.

00:21:55.960 --> 00:21:59.740
Definitely. And help these guys. I love young

00:21:59.740 --> 00:22:02.859
guys when they're building their business and

00:22:02.859 --> 00:22:07.160
seeing flourish because I built a business and

00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:12.599
the most I sold in a year was a million two hundred

00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:16.480
dollars. That's not bad. That's not bad. That's

00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:19.109
the peak of my... There you go. My ability. Right,

00:22:19.109 --> 00:22:21.890
right. And what I saw. And I love when these

00:22:21.890 --> 00:22:24.490
guys talk, hey, we want to do this. And we're

00:22:24.490 --> 00:22:26.890
going to open up. We're trying to see that. I

00:22:26.890 --> 00:22:30.069
say, hey, man, go for it. It's a different experience.

00:22:30.289 --> 00:22:32.329
Do it. It's a different experience because you

00:22:32.329 --> 00:22:34.769
see that from the younger generation that's willing

00:22:34.769 --> 00:22:38.529
to put in the work to. Yes. And if I can put

00:22:38.529 --> 00:22:42.670
my two cents worth and give them a little advice,

00:22:43.130 --> 00:22:45.250
if they want to take it, that's fine. If not,

00:22:45.789 --> 00:22:48.950
they've got. They got their own ways of doing

00:22:48.950 --> 00:22:51.809
business and getting to where they wanna go.

00:22:52.170 --> 00:22:53.990
Right, right. That's good, man. That's awesome.

00:22:54.349 --> 00:22:57.549
We had sales experience ourselves. We used to

00:22:57.549 --> 00:22:59.049
work in sales. Still doing sales experience.

00:22:59.210 --> 00:23:02.690
I'm still selling, as you speak, as where I'm

00:23:02.690 --> 00:23:05.450
working right now. We made five bucks doing this.

00:23:07.690 --> 00:23:10.710
It's been sweet. It's growing, people. It's growing.

00:23:12.220 --> 00:23:16.700
It's a firm five bucks. Not to mention our cap

00:23:16.700 --> 00:23:21.319
sales. That's awesome. The cap sales, oh my God.

00:23:21.460 --> 00:23:28.900
They are rocking. $2 .99. No, man, that's awesome.

00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:32.019
I always, like I said, growing up, seeing the

00:23:32.019 --> 00:23:36.220
Jordan Moore salesmen, for me, seeing them pretty

00:23:36.220 --> 00:23:38.450
much on cartoons. where you have that guy walking

00:23:38.450 --> 00:23:40.430
up some of the vacuum cleaner or something, carpet

00:23:40.430 --> 00:23:44.730
or or a new shop. Yeah, exactly. That's that's

00:23:44.730 --> 00:23:47.529
what I assume what a door to door person was.

00:23:48.089 --> 00:23:50.690
But actually see when person when I got older,

00:23:51.089 --> 00:23:52.569
when they would come in and knock on the door,

00:23:52.710 --> 00:23:55.869
hey, you know, insurance or or electric bill

00:23:55.869 --> 00:23:59.450
or or have you voted yet? Those would do it over

00:23:59.450 --> 00:24:05.089
here. You believe in Jesus? I'm not even going

00:24:05.089 --> 00:24:08.869
to add the extra to that. I have thoughts. But

00:24:08.869 --> 00:24:12.549
it's it's a it's a whole different playing field

00:24:12.549 --> 00:24:14.650
because you're the fact if you work in retail,

00:24:15.029 --> 00:24:16.809
you work in retail, you're behind a counter or

00:24:16.809 --> 00:24:19.210
you're out on the floor walking around. It's

00:24:19.210 --> 00:24:20.569
totally different because the customers are coming

00:24:20.569 --> 00:24:23.890
to you. You know, that's it's easy peasy. I mean,

00:24:23.970 --> 00:24:25.490
they're coming to your store. They're there.

00:24:25.569 --> 00:24:28.049
All you got to do is approach and sell your product.

00:24:28.089 --> 00:24:31.119
When you go door to door. It's more of an effort.

00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:32.839
You have to make the effort. You got to be a

00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:34.420
communication person. You got to be a people

00:24:34.420 --> 00:24:37.099
person to go up and knock on the door and say,

00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:39.940
hey, my name is so -and -so. How are you doing

00:24:39.940 --> 00:24:42.500
today? What kind of service do you have? This

00:24:42.500 --> 00:24:45.900
is what we offer. What kind of speed you can

00:24:45.900 --> 00:24:49.559
hear about so -and -so on that. That's what a

00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:52.519
door -to -door show -off does. But the number

00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:57.579
wise, the number game, for me, I think it's very

00:24:57.579 --> 00:25:00.599
difficult. that sometimes at some point. But

00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:03.559
like I said earlier in the episode, you know,

00:25:03.619 --> 00:25:05.900
there was these big companies, Southwestern Bell,

00:25:06.259 --> 00:25:09.420
CPNL, these electric companies, phone companies

00:25:09.420 --> 00:25:12.079
that were just pretty much like what you said.

00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:15.200
They're the only ones that knew the Valley existed.

00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:18.440
Yeah. You know, so they monopolized monopolized

00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:21.539
everything. You know what I mean? So that's I

00:25:21.539 --> 00:25:24.680
totally understand that. But now that this is

00:25:24.680 --> 00:25:28.160
happening, you're like, OK, now I have. options,

00:25:28.500 --> 00:25:31.900
you know, everybody from dial up to high speed

00:25:31.900 --> 00:25:35.960
to, to, uh, you know, fiber, all that stuff.

00:25:36.019 --> 00:25:39.099
You're just like, what is the best one to get?

00:25:39.119 --> 00:25:41.640
Which is the one that's going to keep me afloat

00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:44.759
when I'm in desperate need of internet and other

00:25:44.759 --> 00:25:47.579
choose adult films for chew. But for me, it's

00:25:47.579 --> 00:25:52.059
more, it's more, have you ever actually like,

00:25:52.099 --> 00:25:54.920
just hits different. One thing I was going to

00:25:54.920 --> 00:25:59.039
say. Have you ever actually just turned off the

00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:03.759
Wi -Fi at your house and then just lived it with

00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:11.160
just pure phones? No. No. No. No. No. No. No.

00:26:22.460 --> 00:26:25.119
I suddenly feel attacked and uncomfortable. Let

00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:31.819
me go 30 years back. When I started doing the

00:26:31.819 --> 00:26:35.680
cold calling out there, I was basically hitting

00:26:35.680 --> 00:26:40.960
the contractors. And we were driving in a car

00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:43.680
and said, hey, man, I got to call the office

00:26:43.680 --> 00:26:46.009
because... They might be, somebody might be looking

00:26:46.009 --> 00:26:49.930
for, I'd have to look for a phone, a phone booth

00:26:49.930 --> 00:26:53.210
or a phone in the street. Hey, is anybody calling?

00:26:53.509 --> 00:26:55.630
Oh, no, not, not, not, they haven't called. Nobody's

00:26:55.630 --> 00:26:59.190
called. Okay. Try for another couple of hours.

00:26:59.329 --> 00:27:04.670
Put a pager. A phone first. And then that would

00:27:04.670 --> 00:27:08.069
stop. Hey, has somebody, yeah, man. They're mad,

00:27:08.289 --> 00:27:10.930
because you haven't sent the material. You're

00:27:10.930 --> 00:27:13.349
like, yeah, get over here. And I mean, in Holland,

00:27:13.529 --> 00:27:16.569
OK, I'm on my way over there. And then, coming

00:27:16.569 --> 00:27:20.450
forward another five years, the pager, bam, bam,

00:27:20.809 --> 00:27:27.710
bam. What was the noise those pagers were making?

00:27:27.750 --> 00:27:31.589
Oh, my god. I forgot we got a youngster here,

00:27:31.769 --> 00:27:56.730
man. If you want to leave a text and you have

00:27:56.730 --> 00:28:08.680
a rotary phone At that time, electronics was

00:28:08.680 --> 00:28:13.960
moving super fast, real fast. And then the big

00:28:13.960 --> 00:28:22.259
phone, the brick. You had to put the transmitter

00:28:22.259 --> 00:28:26.099
in the trunk and have the phone in between the

00:28:26.099 --> 00:28:30.339
counselor here or on the floor. but hardly nobody

00:28:30.339 --> 00:28:34.259
had too much signal. If you had a car and had

00:28:34.259 --> 00:28:38.380
a phone, oh, you were the badass. You were the

00:28:38.380 --> 00:28:48.259
badass of the block. And then comes the flip

00:28:48.259 --> 00:28:54.599
phone. Yep. Which till today, till today, I still

00:28:54.599 --> 00:28:57.640
see a lot of older gentlemen, even people my

00:28:57.640 --> 00:29:01.220
age. that still use the damn flip on and I freak

00:29:01.220 --> 00:29:08.230
out like why? Now you have a mini computer in

00:29:08.230 --> 00:29:11.490
your hand. I mean, it's moved that fast. But

00:29:11.490 --> 00:29:13.170
the flip phone is still pretty popular, though.

00:29:13.289 --> 00:29:14.849
Yes, it is. There's a lot of people, they don't

00:29:14.849 --> 00:29:18.250
want to bother with anything else. They just

00:29:18.250 --> 00:29:20.609
want it for a phone call. Home calls and that's

00:29:20.609 --> 00:29:23.049
it. Right, right, right. I'm not into watching

00:29:23.049 --> 00:29:26.250
videos or YouTube. None of that. But testing.

00:29:26.450 --> 00:29:28.849
Danny's making that face like, speak for yourself.

00:29:29.069 --> 00:29:40.069
I need my iPhone. I'm an iPad child. Sometimes

00:29:40.069 --> 00:29:43.230
I have to slow down then it's okay slow down

00:29:43.230 --> 00:29:46.309
then it run it through me back again. I didn't

00:29:46.309 --> 00:29:49.029
understand that. That was three hours of information.

00:29:52.049 --> 00:29:55.250
Oh man well that's cool dude I mean consider

00:29:55.250 --> 00:29:58.190
the fact ladies you're right Juan JC that through

00:29:58.190 --> 00:30:03.099
the years. how it's changed so much. But I mean,

00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:06.039
going to what we're talking about a few minutes

00:30:06.039 --> 00:30:07.720
ago, we'll step into it right now because I got

00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:10.400
to go to commercial breaking and commercial break,

00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:13.359
talk to our sponsors for real fast. But I want

00:30:13.359 --> 00:30:15.759
to talk about a little bit more about what, you

00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:18.839
know, what's going on in that world. What's the

00:30:18.839 --> 00:30:20.759
best? What's the what's not the best? What to

00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:22.740
go with? You know, because a lot of people have

00:30:22.740 --> 00:30:24.680
a lot of questions about it. So that's something

00:30:24.680 --> 00:30:25.980
we're going to get to in a minute right now.

00:30:26.259 --> 00:30:27.640
But first of all, we're going to first of all,

00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:30.539
we want to go and give a big shout out to a notice

00:30:30.539 --> 00:30:34.380

Always busy. Give them a call. Even if they don't

00:30:43.579 --> 00:30:45.920
answer the first time, you know, they're probably

00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:47.819
busy, but just leave a message. They'll get back

00:30:47.819 --> 00:30:49.240
to you. Yeah. Just let them know it's not true.

00:30:49.279 --> 00:30:50.980
Just tell them it's an actual customer because

00:30:51.470 --> 00:30:53.250
they have to block you because he's constantly

00:30:53.250 --> 00:30:56.589
uh i like talking to this you're so friendly

00:30:56.589 --> 00:31:01.109
what you doing man and not only that they offer

00:31:01.109 --> 00:31:04.109
that but our new uh sponsors also is a notice

00:31:04.109 --> 00:31:07.769
because concrete solutions these guys are great

00:31:07.769 --> 00:31:11.029
i know they're at uh there was a big hiccup i

00:31:11.029 --> 00:31:12.630
can't really let you know what's going on in

00:31:12.630 --> 00:31:14.390
enyberg because they're doing that garage at

00:31:14.390 --> 00:31:17.210

00:31:17.210 --> 00:31:21.539
what Exactly happen. I cannot release that information

00:31:21.539 --> 00:31:23.960
unless they give me permission to. Then why talk

00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:26.779
about it? But a big hiccup because you want to

00:31:26.779 --> 00:31:29.099
research it and because it is on the papers.

00:31:29.359 --> 00:31:31.680
I'm not going to be correct about it because

00:31:31.680 --> 00:31:33.359
I don't know. I don't know what's with T, but

00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:36.539
what I've heard what happened. Yeah. But it's

00:31:36.539 --> 00:31:39.529
it's bad. It's really bad. Yeah. Shame on you,

00:31:39.630 --> 00:31:41.950
Texaco, that's all I'm saying. I got the damn

00:31:41.950 --> 00:31:46.490
thing on the wall. But give another concrete

00:33:19.099 --> 00:33:22.259
get a hat. There you go. That's a good offer.

Thank you. That's $50 a hat. I don't think universal

00:33:39.160 --> 00:33:44.740
fits everywhere But uh going back with these

00:33:44.740 --> 00:33:47.880
guys here Tell us a little bit about me service

00:33:47.880 --> 00:33:51.200
wise. I know there's so many services out there

00:33:51.200 --> 00:33:54.509
what? Services are the best at the market right

00:33:54.509 --> 00:33:56.430
now. I know we can't really go into detail because

00:33:56.430 --> 00:33:58.769
I know those First start off with what you got

00:33:58.769 --> 00:34:01.670
exactly you guys do for the Valley, right? Exactly.

00:34:01.670 --> 00:34:03.809
That's what we want. Okay, that's something I

00:34:03.809 --> 00:34:06.490
wanted to talk about go for this. We literally

00:34:06.490 --> 00:34:11.710
empower Communities whenever we say this we actually

00:34:11.710 --> 00:34:17.630
do it literally like if you go home and Let's

00:34:17.630 --> 00:34:19.929
say like like I was trying to mention earlier

00:34:21.159 --> 00:34:24.260
If you turned off your Wi -Fi and you tried surviving

00:34:24.260 --> 00:34:28.599
with just pure phones, you get me? Even if you

00:34:28.599 --> 00:34:33.000
have hotspot on your phone, it doesn't make your

00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:37.639
house feel comfortable. Everything's weird. Your

00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:41.260
kids will freak out. You yourself, if you have

00:34:41.260 --> 00:34:43.880
a smart fridge, you're gonna be like, something's

00:34:43.880 --> 00:34:46.239
going on with it. You know, if you have cameras,

00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:49.039
what you want is high speed, you know, and around

00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:53.780
here, that's fiber. So fiber is super high speed

00:34:53.780 --> 00:34:56.780
because we come from satellite. I don't know

00:34:56.780 --> 00:34:59.599
if you guys have ever bought a unit where they

00:34:59.599 --> 00:35:01.579
kind of when you get service and they kind of

00:35:01.579 --> 00:35:03.599
build it outside and then put it in the ground,

00:35:03.619 --> 00:35:06.219
put it into the sky like a satellite. Right.

00:35:06.440 --> 00:35:08.760
Or sometimes they'll mount it on your roof. Oh,

00:35:08.860 --> 00:35:11.739
gosh. Like people used to think that type of

00:35:11.739 --> 00:35:17.079
speed was. Cool, you know, 50 megabytes per second

00:35:17.079 --> 00:35:20.559
tops, you know, that was fast, you know what

00:35:20.559 --> 00:35:23.000
I mean? But then they noticed the clouds came

00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:26.519
and the signal was out. Yes. Or if it was windy

00:35:26.519 --> 00:35:29.159
or rainy. Yeah, rainy. Or a bird shit on it.

00:35:29.300 --> 00:35:32.760
Why not? Or a bird going nest in it. Yeah, why

00:35:32.760 --> 00:35:36.380
not? Yeah. That's when they started bringing

00:35:36.380 --> 00:35:40.679
out copper. So some guy had an idea of somewhere

00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:45.559
of Getting a really long string of copper and

00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:50.159
transferring data to that So that's that Roadrunner

00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:55.420
you ever heard of Roadrunner? So Roadrunner was

00:35:55.420 --> 00:35:57.739
going hard they were giving everybody a hundred

00:35:57.739 --> 00:36:01.340
megabytes per second, you know, yes, that's fast

00:36:01.340 --> 00:36:06.179
and then I think What are other companies that

00:36:06.179 --> 00:36:09.039
you guys have know or remember that was like

00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:13.010
old school, you know Dude man, I mean we're going

00:36:13.010 --> 00:36:16.269
to go back to go back to that dammit. I mean,

00:36:16.449 --> 00:36:19.110
yeah, I don't I really don't remember most of

00:36:19.110 --> 00:36:23.050
it back then back then JC give me up on this

00:36:23.050 --> 00:36:28.510
back Back then it was It was basically dial up.

00:36:28.610 --> 00:36:30.469
You would connect directly to your phone services,

00:36:30.570 --> 00:36:32.489
which kind of sucked because if you're doing

00:36:32.489 --> 00:36:33.989
something online and someone called it to kick

00:36:33.989 --> 00:36:37.449
you off like, ah, yeah, I'm on the phone. I'm

00:36:37.449 --> 00:36:40.150
watching something. I was in the middle of my

00:36:40.150 --> 00:36:43.449
download. Yeah. Yeah. Pretty much. That's what

00:36:43.449 --> 00:36:46.730
it was. Yeah. They call that DSL, right? I guess

00:36:46.730 --> 00:36:50.909
at the time. Yeah. I remember the yeah. Yeah.

00:36:51.849 --> 00:36:55.750
So what's your bell? Yeah. and then another person

00:36:55.750 --> 00:36:59.789
had an idea of like hey let's transmit data at

00:36:59.789 --> 00:37:03.389
the speed of light and that's crazy dude because

00:37:03.389 --> 00:37:06.369
why would you need that right and then they started

00:37:06.369 --> 00:37:09.869
inventing speeds of a thousand like right away

00:37:09.869 --> 00:37:12.730
so it's just fiberglass it's a fiberglass and

00:37:12.730 --> 00:37:15.369
inside that glass it's just transferring data

00:37:15.369 --> 00:37:20.369
super fast um right now game consoles do you

00:37:20.369 --> 00:37:23.869
guys game yes like oh yeah Everybody knows what

00:37:23.869 --> 00:37:27.789
a PS5 is, right? So the capacity of a PS5 is

00:37:27.789 --> 00:37:30.269
1 ,000 megabytes per second. That's all it can

00:37:30.269 --> 00:37:34.889
process. You get me? So now you have people buying

00:37:34.889 --> 00:37:39.269
services that are 2 ,000 megabytes, 5 ,000 megabytes,

00:37:39.909 --> 00:37:44.610
7 ,000 megabytes. Those are more for gaming systems

00:37:44.610 --> 00:37:49.880
like the computer towers. Yeah, because like

00:37:49.880 --> 00:37:52.739
you said the the ps5s and the Xboxes they top

00:37:52.739 --> 00:37:57.539
out at What 2000 you say so if you have a cap

00:37:57.539 --> 00:37:59.940
if you ever if you ever had a doorbell camera

00:37:59.940 --> 00:38:03.480
You know or let's say you don't have one at all.

00:38:03.480 --> 00:38:05.340
You don't have any cameras in your house. Yeah,

00:38:06.340 --> 00:38:09.820
and If you have high -speed internet get a doorbell

00:38:09.820 --> 00:38:12.739
camera that that right there is gonna be a very

00:38:12.739 --> 00:38:17.699
handy it helps you Well locks, you know the doorbell

00:38:17.699 --> 00:38:21.900
camera. Yeah, I believe you I believe Besides

00:38:21.900 --> 00:38:25.260
that other things that we do for people is like

00:38:25.260 --> 00:38:27.880
put them in better situations I've met people

00:38:27.880 --> 00:38:32.639
that are paying $300 for services Just for like

00:38:32.639 --> 00:38:36.320
some simple stuff, you know, and when we come

00:38:36.320 --> 00:38:39.880
around we tell them hey, it's $50, you know,

00:38:40.039 --> 00:38:43.889
you know, they it's We actually do help people

00:38:43.889 --> 00:38:46.329
save a bunch of stuff, you know, I have seen

00:38:46.329 --> 00:38:49.309
I have seen well I mean we did talk before the

00:38:49.309 --> 00:38:52.090
podcast and everything about the situation But

00:38:52.090 --> 00:38:54.530
I have seen some of the stuff that's been offered

00:38:54.530 --> 00:38:57.949
on there and it's some good stuff man compared

00:38:57.949 --> 00:39:02.849
to what I'm dealing with right now. The crazy

00:39:02.849 --> 00:39:06.250
part is the speed for the price. That's what

00:39:06.250 --> 00:39:09.190
matters. Exactly. Yeah, we're getting more and

00:39:09.190 --> 00:39:12.329
more digital devices that need that speed. Exactly.

00:39:12.869 --> 00:39:16.369
Exactly. To get something up. It's like a demand.

00:39:20.860 --> 00:39:23.260
Just keep going back. Yes, it's going back to

00:39:23.260 --> 00:39:26.360
what JC was saying at the when we get information

00:39:26.360 --> 00:39:28.920
all day. All right, come back until some people

00:39:28.920 --> 00:39:31.659
at this generation. I was like, we got to go.

00:39:31.699 --> 00:39:34.039
Let's go. Let's go. Go. You'd be surprised how

00:39:34.039 --> 00:39:38.599
much data my beeper needs. I mean, my page account

00:39:38.599 --> 00:39:43.760
takes so much. Yeah, dude. But yeah, but going

00:39:43.760 --> 00:39:46.639
back to that, I mean, it's everybody wants it

00:39:46.639 --> 00:39:49.829
done. Now they want they want to be there now

00:39:49.829 --> 00:39:52.190
yesterday. Yes exactly should have been done

00:39:52.190 --> 00:39:54.789
yesterday And you know, everybody's always looking

00:39:54.789 --> 00:39:59.269
for the fast the faster Product better and reliable,

00:39:59.269 --> 00:40:02.309
you know, and sometimes you can sometimes you

00:40:02.309 --> 00:40:05.489
can't I mean now then I'm not pointing fingers

00:40:05.489 --> 00:40:09.269
and anybody right now because they're They're

00:40:09.269 --> 00:40:13.329
running my stream right now But sometimes you

00:40:13.329 --> 00:40:16.460
have hiccups, you know and A lot of people are,

00:40:16.460 --> 00:40:19.199
you know, understandable. New company. There's

00:40:19.199 --> 00:40:20.940
going to be a couple of hiccups. There's people

00:40:20.940 --> 00:40:23.000
with brand new people are jumping on. They're

00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:24.539
trying their best to get it running 100 miles

00:40:24.539 --> 00:40:27.099
per hour every single day. And some people don't

00:40:27.099 --> 00:40:31.119
accept excuses. It doesn't matter. I paid my

00:40:31.119 --> 00:40:35.920
bill. Where's my service? Who's getting reamed

00:40:35.920 --> 00:40:38.179
out right now about that? And those are the Karens

00:40:38.179 --> 00:40:41.179
of the Valley. You know, something super crazy

00:40:41.179 --> 00:40:45.300
is like every time there's. an outage right from

00:40:45.300 --> 00:40:48.940
whatever type of internet dude like over the

00:40:48.940 --> 00:40:53.159
time I'll get like 18 messages text messages

00:40:53.159 --> 00:40:56.500
at night like at 2 or 3 a .m. that it's buffering

00:40:56.500 --> 00:40:59.739
and I was like oh dang give me your phone number

00:40:59.739 --> 00:41:03.500
I'll make it 19 messages because this happened

00:41:03.500 --> 00:41:07.679
to me four nights ago watching Debbie Does Dallas

00:41:11.690 --> 00:41:17.829
I'm not out of service. I was disappointed. You're

00:41:17.829 --> 00:41:48.699
laughing too much, J .C. I'm sure you don't respond

00:41:48.699 --> 00:41:50.820
to all of them, but I mean, you let people know

00:41:50.820 --> 00:41:53.829
what's going on, right? Whoa, what do you mean

00:41:53.829 --> 00:41:55.989
respond when they text you? Well, like when they

00:41:55.989 --> 00:41:58.110
when they texted you that you know, it's buffering

00:41:58.110 --> 00:42:00.909
or that there's no service Oh at that time. Yeah.

00:42:01.070 --> 00:42:03.630
Oh the people that are cool with me that I know

00:42:03.630 --> 00:42:08.469
like I had a real good, you know, Closer experience.

00:42:08.469 --> 00:42:11.510
Yeah, you know, I'll just be like it's out, bro

00:42:31.619 --> 00:42:35.139
I'm seeing it right now myself. Yeah, I got you.

00:42:35.239 --> 00:42:40.230
I got you. So I mean, so Talking about services

00:42:40.230 --> 00:42:43.650
wise, I mean, what is it one that usually everybody

00:42:43.650 --> 00:42:46.349
asks you for? Like what's the one number one?

00:42:46.449 --> 00:42:48.289
What's the what's the most popular most popular

00:42:48.289 --> 00:42:54.190
one? The most popular plan that people get is

00:42:54.190 --> 00:43:00.519
a $50 range. Or if they have money. like good,

00:43:00.679 --> 00:43:03.199
like, you know, if prices don't really issue

00:43:03.199 --> 00:43:07.280
and they want super, super fast stuff, that's

00:43:07.280 --> 00:43:11.739
$90, you know, that's $90 a month. And that'll

00:43:11.739 --> 00:43:15.300
give you super, super fast. Where do I sign up?

00:43:16.079 --> 00:43:18.079
Like, what is that? What is that? What is that?

00:43:18.159 --> 00:43:23.820
Like six gig? Five, five, five, five. Five thousand

00:43:23.820 --> 00:43:36.820
terabytes. Okay. So that's. Terabytes? For 90

00:43:36.820 --> 00:43:42.760
bucks, that's not bad at all, man. If you do

00:43:42.760 --> 00:43:46.300
something like that, like literally, I've tested

00:43:46.300 --> 00:43:50.840
how fast things, you know, this is a real, real,

00:43:50.840 --> 00:43:52.900
real experiment that you can try at home if you

00:43:52.900 --> 00:43:58.690
ever have fiber service. And you've never seen

00:43:58.690 --> 00:44:03.489
it, right? So there's a difference between an

00:44:03.489 --> 00:44:08.449
Android tablet and an iPad. The operating software

00:44:08.449 --> 00:44:12.090
for the iPad, it's quick. It's naturally super

00:44:12.090 --> 00:44:16.989
quick. But on an Android tablet, for some reason,

00:44:17.010 --> 00:44:19.449
you'll have a lag. And that will be with copper.

00:44:20.250 --> 00:44:25.579
If you switch it over to the fiber, The way that

00:44:25.579 --> 00:44:28.659
an Android device performs, it feels like an

00:44:28.659 --> 00:44:31.500
iPad do super quick. And that's something you

00:44:31.500 --> 00:44:33.840
can try at home. If you don't have fiber service

00:44:33.840 --> 00:44:37.320
yet and you're thinking about it, mess with one

00:44:37.320 --> 00:44:40.659
of your iPads like that's an Android. And then

00:44:40.659 --> 00:44:43.420
the next day, once it's already connected, you're

00:44:43.420 --> 00:44:46.610
going to trip out. It's so quick. Yeah, so it's

00:44:46.610 --> 00:44:48.489
a smoother faster service. Pretty much is what

00:44:48.489 --> 00:44:50.710
you're saying Yeah, like when you watch YouTube,

00:44:50.829 --> 00:44:54.150
it'll it won't buffer at all now I know the last

00:44:54.150 --> 00:44:55.949
the first the first time I met you Danny was

00:44:55.949 --> 00:44:58.409
that uh at Walmart where you were there with

00:44:58.409 --> 00:45:00.889
your with your uh, but I was with JC wasn't it?

00:45:02.329 --> 00:45:05.789
Think about that I forgot to say we run retail

00:45:05.789 --> 00:45:10.130
stores as well. Oh, okay Like if you're ever

00:45:10.130 --> 00:45:14.579
in a super center, you know And you you see one

00:45:14.579 --> 00:45:17.820
of us like literally like we're doing the same

00:45:17.820 --> 00:45:20.119
thing. We're showing intranet, you know, it's

00:45:20.119 --> 00:45:22.940
super cool So we have people that do it inside

00:45:22.940 --> 00:45:26.480
and outside that that's something new that I

00:45:26.480 --> 00:45:29.320
got into about six months ago. Okay, that's pretty

00:45:29.320 --> 00:45:32.360
cool Alright, so I mean so like I was saying

00:45:32.360 --> 00:45:34.539
before me you guys for the first time, you know

00:45:34.539 --> 00:45:36.880
Seeing all the the great plans you all have y

00:45:36.880 --> 00:45:41.530
'all offer I know I had asked you that You know,

00:45:41.610 --> 00:45:43.690
I know for the city of Westco, you are they are

00:45:43.690 --> 00:45:46.250
offering this in particular plans already there.

00:45:46.329 --> 00:45:48.969
They are some some sections of the Westco are

00:45:48.969 --> 00:45:53.150
available, if I'm correct. Right. Yeah. Not the

00:45:53.150 --> 00:45:56.250
whole not the whole piece of Westco. Right. Like

00:45:56.250 --> 00:45:58.989
there's there's areas where it's spreading. OK.

00:45:59.269 --> 00:46:01.389
But well, the good side of town, like where I

00:46:01.389 --> 00:46:06.469
live, it's already there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

00:46:06.469 --> 00:46:08.550
OK. If you're on the south side of the expressway,

00:46:08.550 --> 00:46:12.590
you're screwed. How fast is it how fast is this

00:46:12.590 --> 00:46:16.190
is this a fiber Increasing as far as the body.

00:46:16.230 --> 00:46:18.869
What's the next city or what what next two cities

00:46:18.869 --> 00:46:23.349
are next on the map literally? It's growing because

00:46:23.349 --> 00:46:26.389
we're here. We're we're we're in West Loco. It's

00:46:26.389 --> 00:46:29.610
already growing towards Mercedes Okay, that's

00:46:29.610 --> 00:46:32.769
crazy, and there's this one spot that it already

00:46:32.769 --> 00:46:35.980
grew towards and as soon as it became unlocked

00:46:35.980 --> 00:46:38.800
man it was crazy it was it's a spot in Donna

00:46:38.800 --> 00:46:41.900
because it's going out there now everybody over

00:46:41.900 --> 00:46:47.800
there man they had like maybe 10 12 reps out

00:46:47.800 --> 00:46:50.469
there just just crushing it, you know? Right,

00:46:50.469 --> 00:46:53.210
right, right. Yeah, because people are tired

00:46:53.210 --> 00:46:57.110
of the other guys. Yeah. It's so expensive and

00:46:57.110 --> 00:46:59.909
you get such slow service sometimes. It's crazy.

00:47:00.889 --> 00:47:02.309
Yeah, the other guys, the other guys, the other

00:47:02.309 --> 00:47:06.070
guys. You shut up. They can hear us. I can't

00:47:06.070 --> 00:47:07.730
say it. No, you can't say it, man. Don't say

00:47:07.730 --> 00:47:09.090
it. Don't know. It's just, you know, we're going

00:47:09.090 --> 00:47:12.090
to ask you. You got more of these words. Oh,

00:47:12.150 --> 00:47:15.190
you got a lot more of that, buddy. He's so funny.

00:47:17.880 --> 00:47:22.760
That rice there's is fiber optic right there

00:47:22.760 --> 00:47:30.579
So You are the city so Mercedes is already on

00:48:08.849 --> 00:48:13.550
once I spoke to the agent who... I spoke to not

00:48:24.489 --> 00:48:26.849
and you saw them doing the work Yeah, I saw them

00:48:26.849 --> 00:48:29.389
doing the work doing the trench doing everything

00:48:29.389 --> 00:48:32.170
taking an actual wire connecting to your house.

00:48:32.190 --> 00:48:34.989
Yeah, that's crazy Yeah, it was it was it was

00:48:34.989 --> 00:48:37.710
something because like I said it it was within

00:48:37.710 --> 00:48:40.840
the week And it's like, oh crap, like they're

00:48:40.840 --> 00:48:42.579
really moving on this, like they're serious.

00:48:42.920 --> 00:48:46.000
And it was awesome. And I've had it ever since.

00:48:46.320 --> 00:48:48.099
And there's been a couple of hiccups, but it's

00:48:48.099 --> 00:48:51.519
nothing too serious. It's what you were saying

00:48:51.519 --> 00:48:53.420
earlier, what Danny gets is that what, at two

00:48:53.420 --> 00:48:54.860
or three o 'clock in the morning, like that's

00:48:54.860 --> 00:48:56.519
what you were telling me last time, right? Yeah.

00:48:57.340 --> 00:48:59.199
I mean, that's when I'm up and most active, you

00:48:59.199 --> 00:49:03.860
know, starting the Bible and shit. I started

00:49:03.860 --> 00:49:05.780
the Bible late at night like Jesus did, all right?

00:49:19.579 --> 00:49:22.179
What's what's uh, what's something that you guys

00:49:22.179 --> 00:49:25.480
do yourselves, I know you guys run this you know,

00:49:25.820 --> 00:49:29.360
and it's it's cool I like what you guys do cuz

00:49:29.360 --> 00:49:34.639
I I didn't really know a hundred percent that

00:49:34.639 --> 00:49:38.699
Westico had culture like that. They were able

00:49:38.699 --> 00:49:43.679
to connect with each other and not just be close

00:49:43.679 --> 00:49:49.460
-minded. To see you guys grow, because you've

00:49:49.460 --> 00:49:51.940
been growing over the years, it's super cool

00:49:51.940 --> 00:49:55.719
and I'm glad you guys are still doing that. It's

00:49:55.719 --> 00:49:58.199
been great. It's been amazing for us. We're going

00:49:58.199 --> 00:50:01.099
on season seven in January. That'd be an equal

00:50:01.099 --> 00:50:04.219
of seven years already doing this. Uh, it's been,

00:50:04.460 --> 00:50:07.380
it's been a trip, bro. It's been a trip. I mean,

00:50:07.679 --> 00:50:11.739
uh, I know just recently, uh, they had a, some

00:50:11.739 --> 00:50:14.980
sort of convention over in Mission, Texas, uh,

00:50:15.119 --> 00:50:18.900
for, uh, I think it was, uh, bloggers or for

00:50:18.900 --> 00:50:22.039
networking on stuff from around the valley. Uh,

00:50:22.219 --> 00:50:26.780
and the ticket was not to. say, you know, it's

00:50:26.780 --> 00:50:29.619
worth it. But it was like a single person to

00:50:29.619 --> 00:50:32.619
go with like for one day is like $250. It was

00:50:32.619 --> 00:50:35.400
it was it was a networking event. Yeah. And it

00:50:35.400 --> 00:50:38.619
was, you know, for high. Yeah. For high movers.

00:50:38.739 --> 00:50:41.199
And exactly. I mean, I would have loved to gone.

00:50:41.380 --> 00:50:43.019
Oh, yeah, it would have been great if we could

00:50:43.019 --> 00:50:44.659
have scraped the money together. But I mean,

00:50:44.760 --> 00:50:48.619
that that's just a big part of of what we do.

00:50:48.840 --> 00:50:52.030
Yeah. It's we're just wasn't within our budget

00:50:52.030 --> 00:50:55.889
to go. No, no. But even if it was, I'm not sure

00:50:55.889 --> 00:50:57.650
I'd want to spend two hundred fifty dollars on

00:50:57.650 --> 00:51:00.630
one event. Right. Exactly. Exactly. And what?

00:51:01.030 --> 00:51:03.789
That's us. It's something that that's the beautiful

00:51:03.789 --> 00:51:07.670
thing about community networking within the community.

00:51:07.929 --> 00:51:10.730
We've been here for seven years. We were going

00:51:10.730 --> 00:51:13.190
on seven years. We've reached out to majority

00:51:13.190 --> 00:51:15.869
of the community here in Wessico, Hardingen.

corporations that have these great commercials

00:52:14.940 --> 00:52:17.440

00:52:22.219 --> 00:52:24.280
somewhere where we can start from you know get

00:52:24.280 --> 00:52:27.039
our feet wet before we get to to the bigger bigger

00:52:27.039 --> 00:52:28.780
ocean you know then i could put that out there

00:52:55.590 --> 00:52:57.369
before about the fiber optic so you believe the

00:52:57.369 --> 00:52:59.949
fiber object is a better better way faster easier

00:52:59.949 --> 00:53:02.909
You know interruptions. It's gonna happen. Yeah,

00:53:02.909 --> 00:53:04.989
we're always looking for people to help us do

00:53:04.989 --> 00:53:08.610
this Okay, okay, like literally like it's not

00:53:08.610 --> 00:53:12.210
enough There's there's not enough people that

00:53:12.210 --> 00:53:16.469
that know about this you believe it or not like

00:53:16.469 --> 00:53:19.869
Not everybody knows even what fiber is dude Yeah,

00:53:19.989 --> 00:53:22.050
like there's there's there's so many conversations

00:53:22.050 --> 00:53:27.170
that we have where they're like I Have time order,

00:53:27.449 --> 00:53:29.349
you know, they'll say something like that something

00:53:29.349 --> 00:53:31.210
super old, you know something that they should

00:53:31.210 --> 00:53:35.429
be around and and like random companies and I

00:53:35.429 --> 00:53:38.610
don't know like It's it's cool to let them know

00:53:38.610 --> 00:53:42.730
that there's other stuff. Mm -hmm And what's

00:53:42.730 --> 00:53:45.550
crazy is there won't be any new stuff for at

00:53:45.550 --> 00:53:48.210
least 20 years. Right. Right. I got you. Yeah.

00:53:48.329 --> 00:53:51.630
This technology is crazy, dude. Yeah. It's constantly

00:53:51.630 --> 00:53:56.909
moving up the chain as fast as it can. It's at

00:53:56.909 --> 00:53:58.789
the speed of light. I mean, you can't really

00:53:58.789 --> 00:54:02.050
do much better than that. I've heard, like...

00:54:01.679 --> 00:54:04.960
like stories where people will get like an ethernet

00:54:04.960 --> 00:54:07.760
cable and they'll connect it to their tv and

00:54:07.760 --> 00:54:11.900
it'll read 10 000 megabytes like it's crazy dude

00:54:11.900 --> 00:54:16.440
yeah that's fucking nuts and with uh tvs and

00:54:16.440 --> 00:54:18.579
the equipment getting more and more you know

00:54:18.579 --> 00:54:21.300
technologically advanced all these smart tv you

00:54:21.300 --> 00:54:25.309
need more speed yeah Yeah, smart TVs. It's crazy.

00:54:25.829 --> 00:54:27.849
It's the smart refrigerator that he was mentioning.

00:54:29.750 --> 00:54:34.010
Who thought of that? Talking to the fridge. That's

00:54:34.010 --> 00:54:37.070
crazy. There's actual fridges that I know when

00:54:37.070 --> 00:54:39.150
I used to work at the Orange Box, the Home Depot

00:54:39.150 --> 00:54:45.130
back in the day. No offense, JC. But there was

00:54:45.130 --> 00:54:47.889
a time when they were bringing those actual refrigerators

00:54:47.889 --> 00:54:50.510
that had the actual built -in tablet into the

00:54:50.510 --> 00:54:53.309
door. You could ask, hey, make me a list of what

00:54:53.309 --> 00:54:55.750
I might need. And it remembers, I think when

00:54:55.750 --> 00:54:57.250
you would put items there, it would take a picture

00:54:57.250 --> 00:54:59.050
of everything you put it in. If you're running

00:54:59.050 --> 00:55:00.849
low on kits out, it would automatically write

00:55:00.849 --> 00:55:02.909
it down into a list for you. And then at the

00:55:02.909 --> 00:55:06.750
end of the month or in two weeks, it would send

00:55:06.750 --> 00:55:09.170
you a notice, say, hey, you're no on milk. Hey,

00:55:09.230 --> 00:55:11.300
you're out of butter. Hey. this what you bought,

00:55:11.380 --> 00:55:12.980
you don't have it anymore. You may want to buy

00:55:12.980 --> 00:55:15.420
some more. Actually, it was the Chinese spies

00:55:15.420 --> 00:55:19.179
who were reading that. That were stealing the

00:55:19.179 --> 00:55:23.380
data. They were reminding me 30 bucks. They were

00:55:23.380 --> 00:55:27.519
just reminding you, hey, fat American imperialist,

00:55:27.619 --> 00:55:35.719
you're out of milk. By the way, by Chinese. Oh,

00:55:35.960 --> 00:55:39.960
by Japanese. Japanese, yeah. No, but yeah, technology

00:55:39.960 --> 00:55:41.900
has gotten so fast to the point where you can

00:55:41.900 --> 00:55:43.900
go with your phone, you're at the supermarket,

00:55:44.340 --> 00:55:49.420
boom, camera turns on, you can look inside your

00:55:49.420 --> 00:55:51.719
river ridge, oh yeah, I'd better buy something.

00:55:52.500 --> 00:55:56.539
Talking about that writing on your phone, what

00:55:56.539 --> 00:56:02.159
you need, I still get my little pet, paper pet.

00:56:02.739 --> 00:56:05.769
Write it on down. faster look look I look at

00:56:05.769 --> 00:56:11.690
the paper fastest and I can remember oh my god

00:56:11.690 --> 00:56:15.710
I better I better check my oh that's wrong I'll

00:56:15.710 --> 00:56:18.449
tell you I'll tell you a quick story we're 56

00:56:18.449 --> 00:56:21.090
minutes of the podcast I have this one customer

00:56:21.090 --> 00:56:24.750
his name is Tacho a good friend of the good friend

00:56:24.750 --> 00:56:26.610
of my man he comes to our store a lot and buys

00:56:26.610 --> 00:56:30.170
a lot of plumbing equipment and he has a flip

00:56:30.170 --> 00:56:32.260
phone Just to give you an idea. He still has

00:56:32.260 --> 00:56:35.760
a flip phone. But he comes in with a... He comes

00:56:35.760 --> 00:56:37.900
literally with a sheet of paper. So big. About

00:56:37.900 --> 00:56:40.519
that big. Looks like the size of an iPhone. Okay.

00:56:41.280 --> 00:56:42.800
And he goes, let's see. I have to take out the

00:56:42.800 --> 00:56:44.840
iPhone. And he gets the tablet and he goes, thank

00:56:44.840 --> 00:56:47.380

of mine. But yeah, dude, like like you're saying,

00:57:07.730 --> 00:57:10.469
Danny technology runs so fast. It's crazy. It's

00:57:10.469 --> 00:57:13.010
hard to stay in front of it because once you

00:57:13.010 --> 00:57:14.889
think you're in front of it, you're there are

00:57:14.889 --> 00:57:17.050
like five steps down and you got to catch up

00:57:17.050 --> 00:57:19.829
again. So I mean, but other than that, I mean,

00:57:19.889 --> 00:57:21.710
social media is guys where they can reach and

00:57:21.710 --> 00:57:24.989

00:57:33.260 --> 00:57:37.579
Facebook. I'm always promoting content. I'm always

00:57:37.579 --> 00:57:41.380
posting. I even checked in that I was here. It's

00:57:41.380 --> 00:57:49.739
pretty cool. But the tags, it's for my IGs, dannyflame

00:57:49.739 --> 00:57:55.619
.1216. That's one thing that a lot of people

00:57:55.619 --> 00:57:58.539
kind of knew me as growing up. They give me like

00:57:58.539 --> 00:58:01.340
this nickname of Danny Flam. I don't know really

00:58:01.340 --> 00:58:09.920
where it came from, but it's stuck around. You

00:58:09.920 --> 00:58:14.340
could find us on IG if you want to work with

00:58:14.340 --> 00:58:17.960
us. That'd be cool to have somebody help out.

00:58:18.820 --> 00:58:21.780
Frank, where can they find you, man? I'm right

00:58:21.780 --> 00:58:26.280
here, bro. I don't really do a lot of social

00:58:26.280 --> 00:58:29.780
media. I just recently started because of him.

00:58:30.099 --> 00:58:35.260
I started learning more about my Facebook. I

00:58:35.260 --> 00:58:40.420
stopped using it many years ago. I just recently

00:58:40.420 --> 00:58:45.019
started doing the online advertising because

00:58:45.019 --> 00:58:48.460
he taught us how to do it and we know it works.

00:58:49.360 --> 00:58:54.840
Mr. Juan also experienced it. You know, we do

00:58:54.840 --> 00:58:57.139
post things on there, but I can't even tell you

00:58:57.139 --> 00:59:36.849
right now Well, I've been learning a lot from

00:59:36.849 --> 00:59:43.369
Danny, Frank, Sam, but where you can find me

00:59:43.369 --> 00:59:50.820
is at the coffee shop here down here. I got my

00:59:50.820 --> 00:59:54.860
neck working down there. My girlfriend said,

00:59:54.900 --> 00:59:57.059
are you gonna go to coffee with the old farts?

01:00:01.760 --> 01:00:06.860
But like right now I've got the email. I don't

01:00:06.860 --> 01:00:08.599
know how to get in there, but I've got the email.

01:00:08.820 --> 01:00:14.090
You can text me, you can leave a message. I stopped

01:00:14.090 --> 01:00:17.849
going to Whataburger. They don't have any decaf

01:00:17.849 --> 01:00:25.849
anymore. But I'm easy to find. A lot of people

01:00:25.849 --> 01:00:41.650
know me here in town. That'll get a phone number

01:00:41.650 --> 01:00:46.090
sniped. But next time, I'll be ready. There you

01:00:46.090 --> 01:00:49.469
go. There you go. If I get Danny, and Danny can

01:00:49.469 --> 01:00:54.489
kind of go down the line. I'm still like a turtle

01:00:54.489 --> 01:00:58.210
in the networking business. Don't worry, man.

01:00:58.849 --> 01:01:01.849
The tortoise always wins, man. There's me walking

01:01:01.849 --> 01:01:04.909
the warning, property protected by Cisco. Well,

01:01:04.929 --> 01:01:06.670
that's that guy right here. So that's not even

01:01:06.670 --> 01:01:11.900
going that far. So but no, it's it's I'm learning

01:01:11.900 --> 01:01:15.019
and it's fun. I'm getting out there now It's

01:01:15.019 --> 01:01:18.000
giving me the energy to to start again. That's

01:01:18.000 --> 01:01:21.019
good, man God bless on that man. Gentlemen. I

01:01:21.019 --> 01:01:23.320

01:01:36.489 --> 01:01:40.030
with his leg. One leg. One leg. That's what we

01:01:40.030 --> 01:01:48.750
call him. Yeah, literally he has to. But if Sam

01:01:48.750 --> 01:01:54.510
was here, he'd say that he likes UTSA. It's like

01:01:54.510 --> 01:01:56.969

01:01:56.969 --> 01:01:58.489

you up against the walls a couple of times. I

01:02:12.420 --> 01:02:16.860

01:02:40.510 --> 01:02:42.230

01:02:42.230 --> 01:02:44.409
a clause. But you did have it out there. So you

was going to place something on the pod for you

01:05:03.590 --> 01:05:06.809
guys, something my little boy and myself, we

01:05:06.809 --> 01:05:10.489
put together. It is available on my Facebook

01:05:10.489 --> 01:05:12.769
page. It is available on TikTok and Instagram

01:05:12.769 --> 01:05:16.929
already. We did an actual animation. It took

01:05:16.929 --> 01:05:18.929
us a while to put it together. It's really good.

01:05:19.349 --> 01:05:22.769
It came out pretty nice. You guys want to check

01:05:22.769 --> 01:05:24.949
that out. It is available on my Facebook page,

01:05:25.510 --> 01:05:29.070
on the TuneIn Podcast TikTok, and also on our

01:05:29.070 --> 01:05:31.880
Instagram. Check it out. We've been getting great

01:05:31.880 --> 01:05:33.639
reviews. A couple of people are reaching in to

01:05:33.639 --> 01:05:36.280
look at it. I appreciate you guys taking the

01:05:36.280 --> 01:05:37.519
time. It really means a lot to my little boy,

01:05:37.619 --> 01:05:40.159
man, because he's really into drawing a lot of

01:05:40.159 --> 01:05:42.840
characters. And I just helped give him a little

01:05:42.840 --> 01:05:46.260
push to put into voice acting and stuff. So he

01:05:46.260 --> 01:05:49.619
did a great job. Other than that, guys, thank

01:05:49.619 --> 01:05:51.400
you so much. But man, you see the camera keeps

01:05:51.400 --> 01:05:52.820
going out of focus, man. I'm going to put the

01:05:52.820 --> 01:05:54.420
camera on you. Just call it a night already,

01:05:54.639 --> 01:05:56.480
dude. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that.

01:05:56.599 --> 01:05:59.300
Look at that. No, I see it. I see it. OK. OK.

01:05:59.519 --> 01:06:03.139
Bam! There it is right there. Ladies and gentlemen,

Thanksgiving special next week with Eric Shadows.

01:06:15.139 --> 01:06:16.820

Any last words to spectrum sucks. I didn't say

01:06:28.550 --> 01:06:34.869
that. I'm not going to say it, but they do. Oh,

01:06:34.949 --> 01:06:37.590
great. Oh, shit's slowing down now. You see what

01:06:37.590 --> 01:06:39.809
she did? You see what she did? That's why the

01:06:39.809 --> 01:06:42.769
camera's always out of focus, dude. Damn you!

01:06:43.590 --> 01:06:46.230
The megabits are in the mail or something, dude.

01:06:47.109 --> 01:06:48.909
