Speaker 1 00:00:45
So rookie mistake, here, I just got sidetracked, when you leave here today, can you kind of. I'm not blaming you. I'm just saying that if when you leave you can be intentional about like no, well no trace of.
Speaker 1 00:01:30
With some trash or thinking you get to load me up and then load Alex up. Okay, okay. Did Alex hit the dump yesterday? Grab that. pressure washout. No blame here but this is this goes along with my rule of our stuff doesn't go.
Speaker 1 00:02:07
on their stuff right. There's two spots you see on the corner there's two pieces of tape there. Yeah I see them. As we were walking out I'm like come on. So I uh they need to be crowded.
Speaker 2 00:02:31
in that little room down there. Okay right off right up to the to the casino. You know if we can just get any material uh in order to get all the materials in the week. Right. One day when.
Speaker 1 00:03:08
You know, I saw that, and I said, hey, Rene, you're going to get that, right? And he's like, yeah, yeah. You know.
Speaker 2 00:03:16
Oh, no, I went out to pressure wash, and he went over. Do you have a black eye. 
Speaker 1 00:03:23
No, I don't have a black eye. Okay. It's a little low, but you never know. Yeah, I think, you know, we're going to have to pressure wash in front of the house. We're going to have to get some of that white out on the street. Oh, okay. Okay. Um, my guess is that we'll have to pressure wash here as well. The rookie mistake that I started saying was we should throw a wheelbarrow. What about the dollies?
Speaker 1 00:03:53
Dollies here? The dollies here, I told him to put them in there. That was a rookie mistake on the other side. we got there and i'm like guys this is why the dolly didn't say no some of those bags are.
Speaker 2 00:04:08
heavy but i mean not that i can't pick them up but no no i once i got i i didn't realize it.
Speaker 1 00:04:15
until i got here and i'm like okay you know um i'm starting to try to come up with like, this might go okay what's in the box always when we we leave we've always got a stand we've always got a mixing we always get a bucket we've always got some blankets and alcohol right wheelbarrow should probably be one of them that's the difficult thing is like one day i'm gonna send.
Speaker 1 00:04:51
you guys back to grout this thing whoever right you know um do we need a wheelbarrow for that no. But, yeah, I'm thinking, I don't want to leave anything after today, I'm thinking, because that's more than his truck. Yeah. So, what if we load up my truck today?
Speaker 1 00:05:21
Load up my truck and load him with whatever's remaining. That way I can get on down the road. Okay. I guess start with the pallet. Okay. Yeah, what, I mean, give me a little stuff, actually. Okay. Because I'm not going to the dump, I'm going to our warehouse. And the last time I went there, I had to, like, go around to different dumps. One here, one here, one here.
Speaker 1 00:05:52
I'm feeling guilty about it. I didn't feel, you know, honestly, I don't feel guilty about it, because somebody came and did it to my dumpsters. Oh, okay. Right? And it was pallets all the way through, you know. Honestly, this whole, like... We don't ever use those things, and so I don't feel guilty about, you know, and I've never, when you think about, we've got two big dumpsters that we have access to, my truck, and what's going to go in my truck is never going to be, but what we should do in the future is do something like this, like once a week, go, hey guys, fill me up, you know, but it shouldn't be leaking, it doesn't have water in it, it's stupid, why would you want to carry more, you know, and that's just, some of these things, I'm not blaming it all on you,
Speaker 1 00:06:49
I'm just asking, how much have you thought about that pipe, you know, I thought about it a little bit that day, but ever since then, I'm like, ah, I'm like, Brandon left. He was bothered. Really bothered. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:07:10
So, go ahead. Because getting that little bit of, you know, like, letting me do things on my own a little bit and trying to stay productive and busy and be efficient, I let him do that.
Speaker 1 00:07:26
To me, this is fantastic. I love hearing you say it. And honestly? Especially when Corey's there, you know. 
Speaker 2 00:07:36
Well, Corey told me. He left. I'm sure he left now because he didn't say anything when he left. He probably did. But you know what. 
Speaker 1 00:07:45
But, you know, and Corey, you know, actually said to me, and when I called him, by the way, not saying that he wasn't mad at the moment. Corey does get super mad and then calms himself down, you know, and sometimes, my wife used to go, hey, the worst thing you do to me is walk out on me, and she still doesn't, she understands it intellectually, but not emotionally right now, so it's like that, there's a beast within me, me walking away is keeping that beast from coming out, yeah, Corey's the same way, Corey's worse, you know, I think that, as a, when we were kids, we got out of the car one day, we're walking, you know, we're walking like this, and Corey just turns around,
Speaker 1 00:08:44
wow, I don't even know why, next thing you know, we're wrestling on the driveway, you know, you know, and that was, you know. You know, we've both, I've left knuckle bruises on his forehead, you know, so I'll be, but one thing he said is like, does Brandon understand that we need to send him off on his own, not having a problem?
Speaker 1 00:09:23
I said, you know, it's funny, Brandon and I talked about it on the last spot, to his credit, he didn't know that this happened, it wasn't me. However, he does need to, I'm almost just starting to get, okay, looking at the camera, no, okay? So I just told him, today, I was like, hey, do you want to be an installer? You'll be a great installer, right?
Speaker 1 00:10:00
You're too young to set your eyes on installing it, you know, you need to set your eyes on it. And you've got an opportunity here at, I almost said Reconcerned because it's my old company. That's what happens when you work somewhere for 14 years. You have an opportunity here at Triune to actually make a good living. You can only do that because I'm sure you're sitting there going, what about me?
Speaker 1 00:10:32
You know, and I'll say the same to you. You know, we're just now, Cory's starting to get confidence in us. I think it's, you know, I can, I can get on. And I've just gotten also changed how he's getting a bidding job. He's like, I don't want a big gold standard job. So I'm like, why? We keep losing jobs because we're too expensive, you know.
Speaker 1 00:11:05
Bid the silver jobs with a gold package, you know, as an app. And so a couple weeks ago, he's like, you know, this is my idea, right? And he's like, what are you talking about? We were sitting at Hopin just outside the door, you know. And he's like, I don't remember. Whatever. And I don't care. I don't need that.
Speaker 1 00:11:36
We can do a lot. And what we need, you know, my job is to create an environment where you guys can thrive and think about things differently and provide you with opportunities. Your job. Just to try to understand as much as possible the brains that matter to this, why.
Speaker 1 00:12:10
Not the what, the why. The what, if you know the why, the what will take care of you, right? The what will take care of you. I'm sorry, the why will take care of you. If you can replicate yourself and your health and turn Alex, then that's the issue.
Speaker 1 00:12:44
That's why Pontius didn't know how to train a plumber, probably, in the world, right? I keep on telling him. It's not comfortable stepping outside of the circle. You jump as quick as that, right? If you can teach you how to train,
Speaker 1 00:13:16
you can replicate yourself. And if you don't replicate yourself, then you can make the company, if you can make the company a lot of money, then the company wants to make you a lot of money. Does that make sense? Yeah. You gotta do that with understanding what is out, where is in, right? How can you be thinking of it?
Speaker 1 00:13:46
So for instance, Rene. So two things happened. I came here yesterday at a Malibu. And last. whatever you guys both wanted to come here instead of Malibu right why did that happen I thought I was pretty clear obviously I wasn't because you thought.
Speaker 1 00:14:20
friend you'll do if I say hey you'll be fine go take a jump off and off of this thing you'll go all right you know it's okay you know and I'm joking with that but you trust right yeah so there's no malice there right there's no negligence there there's okay so how do we keep this from happening well I'm gonna start putting in I'm gonna see if I can put the schedule on every day so that was Brandon can look at it there's no question and then when Renee shows up to.
Speaker 1 00:14:57
the wrong spot. Now, I've got to test that theory out, because I don't know what you guys see and how you guys see it and all that stuff, but that's mine. So, how do we keep you from failing? This is how. Right, okay. You know, I'm sending him to go over and do that, right? The last time he did it this way, let's make sure. Hey, how are you going to do it?
Speaker 1 00:15:28
I used to have problems with this. Hey, how are you going to do it? Right? Hey, watch out for it, you know. And then I told Renee, you're going to be a helper forever. Yes, you're going to be. What? You move before you think, and if you can't start thinking, I can't ever promote you, because you're the guy that I always got to watch out for.
Speaker 1 00:15:59
So, you have the potential. You've got to slow down. Stop just running. Start thinking a little bit, you know. And having these little sidebar conversations with you guys, sometimes that's what you guys need to be doing, right? Hey, let's talk about this. And I know you guys already do. Let's reframe. Let's make sure we're on the same page.
Speaker 1 00:16:30
Always, right? Always. With your kids, right? What do you do? Same thing. Always. Cool. 
Speaker 2 00:16:43
How did he know that you were going to be here in a little bit? Well, I let him know. Okay.
Speaker 1 00:17:10
Yeah. So let's do that. You know, you can do that later. I think the biggest thing is if you get loaded up so I can get up to 8th street. They did. It actually looks a lot better, but you wouldn't know it. It's a mild acid, isn't it? He went three to one on it, but at some point.
Speaker 1 00:17:50
You know, what was the purpose of them to take the dirt and grime and everything? Okay. So going forward, you know, like at 8th street, we're not going to do, we're going to keep everything concrete and we're just going to do like the first foot. below the water line yeah um i might even say just first foot right okay um because usually it's just like six inches right so and then that gives us plenty of room to you know so we'll just do the.
Speaker 1 00:18:23
first foot of membrane c and then we can come back later and tie you in and that'll save us like even you know we can put all the equipment down into the pool and everything we don't have to like worry about taking it out we can bolt stuff down you know imagine if you had the ability to you know put some eye hooks or something like that into the ground when you were when.
Speaker 1 00:18:55
you guys were working on this you know trying to cover it for the rain you know um that would.
Speaker 2 00:19:00
have helped danger yeah yeah but we just want to damage the waterproofing right.
Speaker 2 00:19:36
I'm going to grab the dolly now. Okay.
Speaker 1 00:19:40
I think that's the supply. Yeah, it's the supply line. Oh, okay. And then that's the room. Yeah, right. By the way. so i ended up you know we ran out of grout remember that yeah yeah so as we're unloading.
Speaker 1 00:20:14
everything yesterday i go a whole freaking day you know you got the bag in there and then the whole freaking bed you know i'm sitting there you got this guy's here you got a bucket of 254 that's empty an open bag of 254 open bag of 254 organization um and but.
Speaker 1 00:20:44
it's only going to happen if you and they are not going to do it until you whip them right and i am completely fine with you going we need to clock out you know i'm going to fill out 30 minutes before i'm going to take a look, I'm going to play it for them. you want to make sure that all the stuff is put in the right way or whatever i don't need you to get. um and then you know they could be cleaning here they should be cleaning during that time anyway.
Speaker 1 00:21:18
what's going on when you think about what i'm going to need for tomorrow do i have everything, you know let me make sure that they're putting stuff back in the right areas like think of yourselves more as managers i think this is from us too from yeah yeah well it looks like that.
Speaker 1 00:21:51
