Sour Patch Hour

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We are missing riding weather. But we try to take in Bike shows, remember fun times at Bike Rallies, and try not to be too overworked when running a small business.
*Some adult language used.
Well hello everybody. Hey everybody. How's everybody this a week? Welcome to another episode of the Sour Patch Hour with Reeve and Sean. Hey. So Sean, what do you know?
SPEAKER_00Oh another week down. Got a lot accomplished. So feeling good. Gonna really not do anything this weekend.
SPEAKER_02Hold that mic to your face just a little bit.
SPEAKER_00Not not really gonna do much this weekend. Uh relax. It's been a long two weeks. A lot of hours of work. And so I'm ready for a little downtime.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I think that well, Sarah, I Sarah and Elizabeth invited me to go to Lincoln all day tomorrow because that bike show is tomorrow night. Oh yeah. And they want me to walk around Lincoln, and I just don't know that I can walk around Lincoln all goddamn day. So I d I right now I don't know if I'm going or if I'm not, but in my brain right now, I'm not going. But I said if they wanted me to, I could drive down and meet them that night.
SPEAKER_00We went last year and I don't know. It seems like it's kind of dying off.
SPEAKER_02Well, and Elizabeth agrees with that, and her point to the whole thing is everybody says it's dying off, and it's the same old bikes, but nobody is putting their bikes in the damn show. So what are they supposed to do, you know? Sure. So she's out there trying to recruit people to put bikes in that show. It's, I mean, my problem, I think. Now, this is just a personal thought. I think that they have too many bike clubs hanging out around the edges of that, and it's been getting it's just you can't walk ten feet without running to a new bike club.
SPEAKER_00Right. And it it just gets that's what I kind of noticed last year, too.
SPEAKER_02This is it's a bait. Let a bait be there. If you want to be a member of a bait, join a bait. But all these other damn clubs, I don't care. They in the excuse I got from somebody this year from the a bait here in town was, well, we need their money. Well, if you need their goddamn money to keep the bike show open, close the goddamn thing because it ain't worth it.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02They're not bringing their bikes and putting it in. They're just standing. If all them damn guys in that bike show in them in them clubs would put their bikes in the bike show, it would be something. But they're not, they're just showing up because who wants to drive their bike out in the middle of the winter? So they're just showing up, soaking up everybody walking through and trying to recruit them into their club and not put their bike out there.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, that's dumb. Well, and they used to have campers there too. Yeah, like half of it was campers, half of it was motorcycles. And I always like going to see the new and improved things on campers and see the new floor plans, and and they'd run some pretty dang good deals. So uh that was always interesting to go check that out. And last year, I don't think there was any.
SPEAKER_02I I'm thinking I don't think there was last year, and there was a very few the year before.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Now I think the excuse they had last year. I might be completely wrong, but I think the excuse they had last year was isn't there a show, a bigger show, like in Omaha or something like that.
SPEAKER_00Uh a couple weeks later, yeah.
SPEAKER_02And they're usually getting them things ready to go and all that.
SPEAKER_00And so that was I think that was their butt you would think that'd be a good thing for the for the camper dealers to have two shows this time of the year, because not many people are walking on their little lot right now going, Man, I sure wish I could go camping.
SPEAKER_02So well, you also gotta remember this they know their business. And if they haven't been pulling enough numbers down at this bike show, and like you said, it's down. Yeah, and so if it's down, there's not that much foot foot traffic, and so they're not getting me, you know, they're not selling any, so you know they they know their business.
SPEAKER_00But they always had the new toy haulers there, and I always like seeing those. Yeah, and kind of seeing the floor plans and now that you're especially kind of looking. Yeah, yeah, now that we're looking, you know. Uh but two years, two or three years ago, we almost pulled the trigger on one. Uh Brooke and I both loved the floor plan of the thing. It was it was set up to where it wasn't, you know, your your kitchen and living room were also your garage type thing. I mean, it the floor plan was just perfect. And of course, you know, Brooke wants to think everything through 10,000 times, and uh, and I'm thankful for that because we'd probably be broke if if uh it wasn't for her. But uh, so I was I was like, let's do it today. Let's do it. This is exactly what we've been looking for. We've been looking for years, this is what we want. And uh she she goes, Well, let's go home and think about it. I mean, the dealership's right there in Omaha, and I'm like, Oh god, we're never gonna get this thing.
SPEAKER_02Never got it. I know exactly you know what? It's a gut feeling you have where other guys I talk to that are married, they'll take their wives out and their wives will get all excited and want something new, and and they'll they'll go buy a new vehicle the same day they go look. But you know what? I uh yeah, I'm the same way you are. If if we don't, if we go, if I don't look at my wife and say, We gotta go buy a truck or we gotta go buy a car, we gotta do it today. And it takes it takes prep time to get them to that page, right? Right, and then if you're on that lot and they say, Well, let's think about it. Not pulling that trigger for another few months, man.
SPEAKER_00You'll be lucky to get that deal done in a year.
SPEAKER_02Yep, yep. So that's why when it came to buying this new piece of equipment for the shop, Sarah went at it, right at it, and head on. I so I was it almost scared me. I'm I'm don't get me wrong, I'm scared. You're going, what the hell's going on here? I kind of thought she'd be saying now, and I could blame her, but I can't even blame her for this one.
SPEAKER_00As far as like tools and equipment on my end, I mean well, that's you. Yeah, when I when I buy stuff, I mean she doesn't even know half the shit I have, and I'm glad she doesn't.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Well the difference between the you I mean the difference is is I consider my wife the partner because she does all the books. Yeah. And she helps me hire and she helps, you know, she kind of she's my I don't I don't like making a lot of decisions by myself because I always I you can ask anybody that works for me. I always feel like two heads are better than one. And if I got one sleeping in bed beside me, it only helps until you get an argument about something stupid. Then it hurts for a while.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Brooke Brooke and I've kind of went through the same stuff as far as like vehicles and and stuff like that. But as far as my business, she's you do you, you know what you're doing. I I have no clue what you're doing, I'll do mine. And so it works out. Yeah, some days is rougher than others, but yeah. Here's the thing being in business is not easy.
SPEAKER_02No, it's not easy on marriages, it's not easy mentally, it's not easy on physical, yeah. You don't you know if you let it get to you, it's not easy on your liver, you know. There's a lot of guys out there that are very successful, and but you you see these guys, you know, here's here's whether it's true or not, this is how I like to look at things. I I go through spurts where I get jealous of these guys, they got brand new trucks with brand new welders, brand new shops that brand you everything's spick and span, looks beautiful, but once I settle down and I realize those fuckers they have to work their ass off to pay that shit. They don't own all that shit. The bank owns everything, they're living on a note, yeah. And I don't live on a note, yeah.
SPEAKER_00You know, so I'm the same way. I mean, I I see some of my subs, some of my sub contractors, they're pulling up in these eighty, ninety thousand dollar diesel duoleys, and they're there to do the roof or do some siding. And I'm like, man, that is a nice truck. That'd be nice. He's like, Yeah, my payments like $1,100 a month. That's a house payment. I know. Well shit, $80,000, $90,000. I used to buy you a house. I know, dude. So and and now guys spend, and I mean, those are the cheaper Dooley diesels. You you see them run upper hundred, you know, up above a hundred thousand. Uh if you want all the bells and whistles on them.
SPEAKER_02But you know, if them guys simply done the math. If they got rid of their brand new trucks and got an older, not an old, old thing, I mean an older vehicle that you could reliable.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02And even if you wanted to cut back on work, ten bucks that you'd make more money because you're not paying for all everything you had to have in that truck or in the truck, you know.
SPEAKER_00But they got to show off.
SPEAKER_02They that's the that is so true.
SPEAKER_00You know, so I did a class one time on it was a sales class, and it was it was for an insurance company that I was working for at the time, and it it was we would go out to farmers and sell insurance, and I mean we would go to their house and cold call on them. Oh god, that would suck. Uh it wasn't terrible. I mean, most farmers are pretty cool. You got some of them, they'll pull a gun on you, but yeah, it only happened like once or twice. It's it's not a and then the neighbors tell me, yeah, he's kind of a crazy old man. He just lives out there by himself. Let him be. But uh, but they said, you know, you pull up in an old beat-up car, they aren't gonna trust you. If you pull up in a nice, nice looking vehicle, they think that's a successful person. He sold a lot of policies, he's and uh I kind of took that to heart. And so when I was selling insurance, I went out and I bought a vehicle that was, I don't know, two or three years old, something like that, and was driving that around and and it was a decent paying gig, but we stayed in hotels all week. Oh, and so and we had to pay for it out of our pocket. Screw that. So if you aren't selling, you aren't staying in a hotel, and you're sleeping in that nice car. So here I'm I'm paying for a hotel, plus at that time, you know, paying my rent, and then uh paying this car note and higher insurance, and I'm like, this just doesn't make sense to me. And I I did it for about a year, and I said, uh, the numbers just aren't coming out right to where I'm making money at this. But then they tried talking me into, well, after your first year, you know, you get your renewals, and that's when your money really starts coming in because now you got your renewals, plus you got your new ones, you're gonna start making a lot more money. And I started figuring it all out, and I'm like, yeah, I would be making more money, but I'm also never home. Um No, I I don't want to do this anymore. So I got away from it.
SPEAKER_02I I couldn't do that. I I have a hard enough time. I went to my banker and we were talking, you know, kind of strategized strategizing about the next step in my business. And he straight up looked at me and and because we were talking, I said, this is before I hired a full-time guy and stuff, and he's like, I don't know what to do. Do I said, Do I hire a full-time salesman to go out there and just do it all and get it all for me? Or do I hire a full-time welder to help me in the shop? And he goes, You hire a full-time welder, you go out and sell that shit. I said, I am not a salesman. He says, There's nobody better that's gonna sell your business than you.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, because you know your business inside.
SPEAKER_02He says, they're gonna ask you questions and you're gonna be able to answer them. You send a salesman out, they're not gonna be able to answer the questions that need to be answered all the time. Yeah, so just do it. I'm like, Well, I don't know. We'll we'll cross that bridge. Well, the more I what it really was is after I got done doing that side dump trailer and I crime around it, and you know, I was laying underneath it and sparks, and I thought, you know what? I have a full-time guy to do this. Maybe I should go be someone. Here goes Tommy boy. And here's the thing if if it's not a cold call, I could if they're calling like if we our plan is to send out some letters and tell people what we offer, and if we get some calls back, I'll go out and then I could do, I can do it. I'm not gonna go knock on a cold door and say, hey, why don't I do this for you? Nah, that ain't gonna work for me. Yeah, it was bad. I went after Side Demper today, and I kind of cold sold them on because I work with them all the time, but it was bad enough. I didn't want to have to conversation, but yeah, it was bad enough because I was cold calling them and they didn't see it come and it we were we were talking about something else, and I thought, Well, here I am. So I shot it at him and it it turned out good. I mean, he was receptive to it, so yeah.
SPEAKER_00Did you did you do any of the Tommy Boy moves where you where you got all happy with the suit on and and me? Rip the back of it, or no, didn't do the cars on the desk and light them on fire.
SPEAKER_02I think I've only seen Tommy Boy once.
SPEAKER_00Oh gosh. You gotta watch it again because it's just it's a classic.
SPEAKER_02Is it Chris Farley was one of a guy, wasn't he?
SPEAKER_00Yes, he was.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00But anyway.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. I'm I'm itching, I don't I go through this about this time every year. I'm itching to go for a little ride, you know.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. But and we've had some nice weather to do it too.
SPEAKER_02And I my bike just put away, and I just don't have time to dig it out and then put it back. And so I don't know. I I I go through this and I don't know, you're you're gonna think I'm because you're you're an avid rider, and you've been riding for a lot more years than I actually have. Um every year about I want to go ride, I want to do my thing, but every year I go through this, but it's so freaking dangerous. I don't want to get hit by a car. You know, it's it's a brain because you're off of it for so many months.
SPEAKER_00Especially now having a kid. Yeah, exactly.
SPEAKER_02And so you you I I kind of talk myself out of riding until until my wife says, We're going for a ride. And then she makes me literally the first few times she makes me get on that bike, yeah, and we go for a ride, and I'm fine. Once I get on the bike, I'm fine. And as long as we go west, we don't go east. Yeah, as long as we go west, there's not a lot of cars, it's not so bad, you know.
SPEAKER_00My big fear is you know, riding around Omaha. I will not do it no more. Uh as as soon as I get on my bike, I get out of Omaha. And we've we've got the hills out there to excuse me, to go ride and uh Is there a quick way out of Omaha? I mean, really for you? Really just hop on the interstate and get out. I don't I don't mind the interstate so much. I don't I definitely don't want to do it during rush hour traffic. But so if I go for a ride in the evening, I'll wait until about 6, 6 30, something like that, and I'll ride out into Iowa, go eat somewhere, and have a beer, and then ride home or you know, go meet up with some buddies or something. But uh yeah, I I get out of Omaha. I just I hear too many motorcycle accidents of people just riding around town. And even poker runs there. I don't don't really do the poker runs and a lot of the poker runs there don't go through town. They get out too they get out into Iowa, and uh I think the reason behind that previously was because of the helmet law. That could be, and you know, a lot of people didn't want to have that helmet on the middle of summer and riding around in Omaha, and so they'd say, Hey, first stop, council bluffs, next stop, red oak, next stop, you know. And so uh but yeah, I I just have a fear for riding around in Omaha City Linux every once in a while. If a customer calls or something and needs me to just stop by and look at something, I'll hop on the bike and ride out to their house and back. But it's not something where I'm gonna call up my buddies and say, hey, let's ride to this place and this place and this place all around Omaha because um in the back of my mind I think you're just asking for trouble.
SPEAKER_02We used to have a you're gonna be on the news. We used to have a friend that lived out there in in Omaha, and so we'd ride down once in a while and and visit him, but the past two or three years has gotten so bad, we'd we just don't even won't even I won't even go I seriously won't even go east. Yeah. Columbus is the furthest I really want to go. I might go to Skylar and north, but I will not go east any further.
SPEAKER_00I I ride out to Fremont every once in a while, and I'll I'll just you know take uh interstate and then dodge all the way out and hit up Fremont, stop, have a beer, and turn around or have something to eat.
SPEAKER_02And I'm getting a little bit of echo. Pull that mic to you. You can pull it towards you. It'll it'll you I'm getting an echo out of you, is what I'm gonna say. Is that better? Yeah, that's better. Yeah, okay. You gotta kind of keep it close to your mouth, otherwise there's an echo in the room. Oh. Um, but yeah, I just I I won't go east anymore. I just I it's my age, and I know it shows, and I know it sounds like I'm a pussy, but I just I can't do it.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. I especially when I lived here, when I lived here, I mean it was kind of the same thing. Uh I'd leave out of Columbus, I'd do like the Genoa, uh Central City, Fullerton, you know, do that route. We go to Burwell as far as we're Burrwell, you know. Yeah, Burrwell too. That's a nice long ride.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00But uh yeah, it was it was kind of the same thing, I guess, when I lived here. We'd go to the west. And never really went to the east.
SPEAKER_02It's so people, I mean, honestly, we can blame it on whatever it is, people not paying attention, whatever. It's simple fact of motorcycles are hard to see once in a while. Yeah. I mean, they're there are end not for nothing. The the older people have a hard time seeing cars, let alone bikes sometimes. And I we lost uh a person that an older person turned right in front of them and took them out, you know, and that that's the I've heard a lot of that old people pulling in front of other people, you know.
SPEAKER_00They say I just I didn't see them. Yeah, that's what they see.
SPEAKER_02I didn't see him, I didn't see him.
SPEAKER_00And it's it's always been a big fear of mine going to any of the bike rallies, but especially Sturgis, pulling a camper. And you know, you get it's not so bad until you get about a hundred miles out from Sturgis, and then all those bikes are out everywhere, and you're going slower because you're pulling weight behind you, and uh they're trying to speed around you and keep you know uh keep up with all their buddies and everything, keep the pack going together. And uh I mean you can look in your mirror, look in your mirror, and then put your signal on and get ready to turn. And one pops out from behind the camper and and he's doing an 8590. He's not looking at your blinkers or anything, yeah.
SPEAKER_02That pisses me off.
SPEAKER_00That's so it's that's always been a big fear of mine going up to Sturgis and pulling a camper up. I go, You man, I would hate to be that person that uh causes an accident, especially if it's multiple bikes.
SPEAKER_02And you know you you normally go interstate.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02See, and we go, you know, we go to Shadron and up, and we don't catch as many bikes. And it's because for so many years there's a helmet law. I mean, there don't get me wrong, there used to be a lot of bikes, but before right right towards the end of the helmet law, there was not so many bikes coming up. There, you know what there at Shadron? There it used to be so packed with bikes that you you had to wait in line to get fuel for 45 minutes.
SPEAKER_01Oh, really?
SPEAKER_02That's how many bikes are, and now never a bike there. I mean, Sarah and I every year say, Oh, no bikes there yet. And uh so when we go up, when you go up that way, we don't see a lot of bikes, and the road is pretty wide, you know, it's that four-lane once you get outside of it's four-lane up, and where it gets hairy for me, and where I kind of start pucking a little bit on the old asshole side, is when you get on the on the the north side of Rapid City and start going west towards Sturgis. Yeah, that when you get on the interstate, that's when there's a ton of bikes there. What I do is when I pull off onto that interstate, I don't care if I have to slow down for people coming off or what, I do not get out of that right lane. I don't care because, like you said, bikes are trying to just be assholes, is what they're doing. Yeah, and so I just stay there and I I'll go 20 miles an hour until I can get picked up speed and and outside of once you get outside of Rapid City, it's not so bad. Set your crews at about 60 miles an hour and just let people pass you.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Because the home runs right up the road, so you know it's no big deal.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Yeah, I I uh I've seen some pretty hairy accidents. Let it be on the interstate going out there or coming back. Uh I think I've seen more accidents coming home in all the years I've been going up there than on the way up there.
SPEAKER_02I can you know what I can believe that because people are going home hung over and everything else.
SPEAKER_00They're wore out, they're tired.
SPEAKER_02Like you said, you've fallen asleep a couple times, maybe you know, on the ride home.
SPEAKER_00And there you you also have what I've what I've seen quite a few times too on the way home, is I've seen trailer tires blow out. Oh, okay. And you know, that tire made it all the way up there, but it's not making it home kind of thing. And they go, well, maybe it'll limp all the way home. I don't know. I'll I'll risk it. And I was riding alongside a uh semi one time coming home going down the interstate, and a trailer tire blew out on that semi, and great big piece of rubber came flying at me and it hit the fairing of the bike and just slapped. I mean, it slapped that front fairing. And uh I don't know, I don't know how I didn't dump the bike. I mean I really thought that thing was coming at my head, and uh it hit the fairing and kind of went off to the side, and I thought, holy shit, my whole fairing's probably just shattered right now. I pulled over, the semi kept going.
SPEAKER_02Of course.
SPEAKER_00He he didn't, I don't know if he didn't know his tire blew out or what, but but I pulled over and I'm like, oh god, my bike's probably all messed up. I had a skid mark on it. That's it, really? I was like, God, if that would have hit me in the face, I would have had broken bones.
SPEAKER_02And it would have killed you probably put the bike down because you probably was going 65, 70 miles an hour.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, it probably would have knocked me out. You know, and go see probably the best in the interstate.
SPEAKER_02Honestly, being knocked out probably would have saved your life.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. So, yeah, that and I've seen a lot of trailer tires on campers and trailers blow out on the interstate going up there and back. Uh there were there was one year uh guy's wheel hub came off. His whole wheel came off, and that friggin' tire went rolling down the interstate into the other lane and then went into the ditch and didn't hit nobody hit nobody. He that guy got very lucky. But yeah, it went into the median and then kind of flew back up and almost jumped over the other two lanes and then went into the ditch on the other side.
SPEAKER_02And I'm like, you know, that's that's why when Sarah and I and Elizabeth are out riding, Sarah always leads, you know. When she gets up next to a motorcycle, I want her to get by as fast as she can because you just don't know, especially she never she doesn't stick around by a cattle truck very much, but but any kind of it's just scary to think because you those guys run them tires until they blow. Oh, yeah, you know, yeah. So I as last thing I want the per it always bother see that's the only thing that bothers me is I'm the one that's always trailing, and if anything happens, I'm gonna see it all. Yeah, because it's gonna happen in the first two. And and it's not that I won't lead, it's just that Sarah always has the GPS and she doesn't always trust me to go know where we're going and everything. She's all lead. All right, you know, and I should I should lead. I'm not lying. I I mean I I know I should lead, but she wants to lead, so yeah, I let her. Yeah, yeah. And that's I mean, it's scary for me because if something happens, I'm gonna see it happen.
SPEAKER_00Sam Brooke, I've I've gotten her a couple bikes, and uh she tried to learn, tried to learn, and and she was getting the hang of it. I mean, she was able to ride, but uh she also dumped it quite a few times, and finally she just kind of hung it up and she says, you know what, I I just feel a lot safer being on the back with you.
SPEAKER_02That's cool. I mean, you're not wrong.
SPEAKER_00I'm like, yeah, that's fine.
SPEAKER_02Can I ask can I don't maybe maybe I'm just being a dick. But and this goes for everybody. I don't understand how you dump a bike at a stop sign or something. I don't yeah, I don't understand how that happens.
SPEAKER_00I don't know either. I mean, I I know what Brooke did. Uh she she got down to a T intersection uh in our neighborhood, and we live on the top of the hill, and she went to the bottom of the hill, and then it's a T intersection there, and she hit her front brake. Uh and there was gravel there. Yeah, don't grab that. No, you gotta use your rear brake, primary brake there.
SPEAKER_02When I I almost always use my front brake. That's I hardly ever, but if I'm in town and I can see gravel, I always just grab my rear brake just because but I'm I'm notorious for riding the front brake.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, yeah. And I I use both of them, but I use my rear more than I use the front. Uh yeah. I just I feel safer doing that because I've done the same thing. I've I've hit gravel with using my front brake and spilled it and went down.
SPEAKER_02And so let me ask you a question, because I know that I know that some uh uh Goldwings they're all tied together. They the front and the rear will go see if you grab your front brake, yeah. So I don't know why Harley don't eat it. I've worked on a bike one time that it was like that.
SPEAKER_00Wow. Well that's a pretty good idea.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I mean it's kind of an anti-lock brake type system.
SPEAKER_00Sure, yeah. I don't know. There's a lot of things people say Harley should pick up on with other manufacturers, but uh they do their own thing, and that's kind of why people like them because Harley's their own you worried about them going out of business? Uh no, I don't think they will. They're struggling right now. I know they're they're struggling. They kind of shot themselves in the foot there for a while.
SPEAKER_02They got too big for their riches, is what they didn't go around telling. Well, number one, they put the Harley shop out of here and down here out of business. I mean, because wasn't it they kind of come in and said they had to do certain things to stay a Harley shop after just how many years ago they made them build a whole other shop and everything, and then all of a sudden they changed gears again.
SPEAKER_00I I don't know where all that went down over there, but uh you know, I was sad to see it close. Yeah, and I'm sure Doc was sad to see it close too, because that's that was his whole life.
SPEAKER_02And he didn't live too much longer after that.
SPEAKER_00He didn't. But uh and and Tammy too. I mean, that was her whole life. Yeah, that's that's what they were how she knew everybody.
SPEAKER_02And uh she still traveled around and sell, does she? I've never talked to her.
SPEAKER_00She's as far as I know, this last year she was in uh Rapid City.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, she was I think she goes up almost every year.
SPEAKER_00Every year, yeah.
SPEAKER_02I never run into her when I'm up there though.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I I run into her a couple times when I'm up there. She's the coming roads the other way.
SPEAKER_02I don't know, but I I just never see her.
SPEAKER_00Uh but I I don't run into her like downtown or anything like that. She goes up there to work and she works a lot of hours when she goes up there. So uh, you know, you go anybody goes up to the rally to go work. You work you work, you're not partying. It's not easy. No. I wouldn't want to do it. No, I've thought about bringing a food truck up there and trying to, you know, have somebody else work it while I have fun, but I know it's not the way it would happen. I would have to micromanage it and I'd have to, oh, we're out of buns, oh, we're out of pickles, oh, we're out of condiments. And that's all my vacation would be is run, run, run. And so I I kind of put that idea to rest. To rest. I was like, what do I want more money or a vacation? Well we work all year by this time of the year, you know, between roofing and remodeling houses and flipping houses and the renters, and uh by the time August rolls around, it's hot. I'm pissed off. Don't like people the way it is. Yeah, my wife tells me, you know, she goes, I I like that you go to Sturgis because you come back a happier man. She goes, You need that week. And and it's true, you know. I and and before I leave to go to Sturgis, and you're the same way, I imagine. You just bust balls all the way up until that night before, and you're trying to get everything done, everything situated, everything so that you can actually take a week off. Yep, exactly. And then you come back, and that work piled up for that week, and then you're working your ass off when you come back. So when you get up there, you gotta set your brain, you gotta flip the switch on your brain and just say, It'll be there when I get back. Today I'm gonna drink a beer at like 11 o'clock in the morning, and I'm just gonna sit here in a lawn chair and stare up at the sky and listen to motorcycles, and I'm gonna look at a couple tits.
SPEAKER_02Isn't that nice? Seriously, to sit by that we've sat by the camper and just listen to the bikes go by, and it's like, God, listen, that's so awesome.
SPEAKER_00I I like going out into the Black Hills and just pack a couple drinks into a saddle bag and stop alongside the road by one of the brooks, one of the creeks along there, and just sit there and have a couple beers. Put your feet in the water. I mean, that that water is ice cold. When it's you know 100 degrees out like it normally is around Sturge's time, dip your feet in that and just sit there and listen to the water, listen to the bikes go by, drink a beer. It's so relaxing.
SPEAKER_02I've never done it.
SPEAKER_00Oh and I we went I hope his wife doesn't listen to the show. But uh so we went, we went out there into the Black Hills, and and there's a big lake out there. I forget what it's called, but uh we we went out to that lake, and uh I told him I said, I just like sitting at this lake and just staring at the lake, relaxing, putting my thoughts together. And we got out there and we sat down, and we're both just kind of taking it in, and I pull a doobie out of my coat, and I light it up, and he kind of looks at me and I said, I'm relaxing, man. He goes, I'll relax with you. And so we we both just sat there and smoked that doobie, and you know, we just stared at the lake for a while and then get on the bikes and don't bother you getting on the bike after that? No, it not really. It kind of relaxes me. And but uh I'd be shot up the entire time. I I wouldn't sit like with having that there, I wasn't gonna sit there and you know smoke the whole thing and just get totally ripped. But uh couple puffs. Yeah, a couple puffs, pass it over. He had a couple puffs, save the rest for concert later that night. Yeah. Speaking of it's fun.
SPEAKER_02Speaking of concert, have you been to uh um Jackal in a while?
SPEAKER_00I haven't been to Jackal in a while. I I used to I used to make it a priority to stay up there for Throttle Thursday and go to the Jackal concert and then head back on Friday.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Anymore, you know, I I've met Jesse James quite a few times. Uh I've sat and talked to him, I've had a beer with him, and he's a great guy. Uh so is Mike Ballard. I mean, I've knew him too, and both of them I haven't talked to him in years. Uh but I haven't made it a priority in the last couple of years to really even go to full throttle. I mean, I'll I'll go out there if other people are going out there and they say, Hey, you know, let's go out to full throttle.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, you met us out there, right? Or is it you? Or who did we meet out there? Wasn't it you? You and oh, didn't we meet you guys out there?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, yeah. I think you met us. Yeah, you met us out there because we were doing some shopping, you know, one of those shops out there or something. And uh, but I mean I don't I don't make it a top priority of mine to go out there, and I think he kind of shot himself in the foot with uh moving all the way out out that far out of town and having those concerts. The concerts are great if you're camping there, yeah.
SPEAKER_02But it's a hell of camp out there, yeah.
SPEAKER_00It is, it's expensive. Uh but and and the drink in that bar is expensive, yeah. And so you know there's plenty of shuttles to take back and forth to there that go watch the concerts, and and that's fine, but you know, if you go out there later in the evening and you don't really know what the lineup is out there for that day, you just wanted to go out there and have a beer and walk around a little bit and check everything out or grab a bite to eat out there, and then you start hearing this great band playing, and you go, Man, I'd love to stay out here and watch this, but if I do, you know, I'm not gonna drink because it's a long ways back to camp, and the cops are just lined up on that road. They are they're waiting for you to fart on your bike.
SPEAKER_02Exactly. And so a little weave and they got you pulled over.
SPEAKER_00And so it's not worth it to drink out there. Uh number one, because you could have an accident, but number two, you it end up in jail all night. And uh and so I think he kind of shot himself in the foot, but it seems like he's doing all right. I mean, he's building on, building on like he was on the old one.
SPEAKER_02So and it's bigger, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Oh, it's a hell of a lot bigger. He's a smart businessman, he he knows what he's doing.
SPEAKER_02But uh it just makes you wonder, can he actually be making that much money?
SPEAKER_00The way he adds on, the way he does stuff, and the way it but he's also got the full throttle distillery, yeah, and then he's got full throttle. Uh there's other full throttle saloons.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I know.
SPEAKER_00And so, I mean, he's he's got a business plan put together that's working for him.
SPEAKER_02And but uh he pays the old bills, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Oh yeah, the cake with yard. But that uh I didn't I didn't really uh make it a priority this year to go out there in the last couple of years. I really haven't. I haven't been out there to see Jackal. Uh we and I would like to. I mean, I enjoy his music.
SPEAKER_02We went out Sarah and I had made a special trip out there, and we said, okay, this year we're going to Jackal because we had never been. We're going to Jackal, and it was the year it downpoured rain. It was in the old old location. Yeah. I think the year or two before it burned down. And uh, and maybe two years before it burned down. And it down poured rain, and he got so pissing drunk, it was just not even a fun show for us. Is because he didn't sing almost the entire show. He's pissing and moaning the entire show.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02And he sang a few songs, and then the show was over, and we were trying to get out of there in the wet and everything else.
SPEAKER_00And it got muddy out there when it rained, it turned into a mud pit.
SPEAKER_02It was like walking through a, like you said, a mud pit.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. There you find shoes stuck in the mud.
SPEAKER_02The new place they like that.
SPEAKER_00People would say, ah, fuck me. I got more, I got my boots back at the tent.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, exactly.
SPEAKER_00Riding back with one shoe and a boot or a sock.
SPEAKER_02That new place that took over where the throttle was at. They got pools and everything there.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. That's an expensive place to camp at too. I would imagine. And they don't have any shade. No, I mean it's all pools.
SPEAKER_02The only way you get cooled off is to jump in the pool.
SPEAKER_00I have some friends that camp out there. Uh they camped out there every year since they opened. And this last year they stayed at Glencoe because they said it they just overpriced it.
SPEAKER_02I think they're a lot of places are getting that way, though.
SPEAKER_00The drinks were pretty affordable over there at the bar. Were they? Uh I I'd go over there and just hang out by the pool. I mean, there were bikinis over there by the pool and they had cheap drinks, and I thought, shit.
SPEAKER_02We wouldn't hung out there for a little week.
SPEAKER_00I could have gone swimming in there if I wanted to. You didn't have to camp there to go swimming there.
SPEAKER_02Well, no, they've changed that.
SPEAKER_00I I think this year they changed that out there.
SPEAKER_02Oh, they changed that, yeah.
SPEAKER_00But uh, but yeah, we they've they've got a little bit of a motorcycle show there too.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, that's Elizabeth wanted to go out for that. That's why we were there.
SPEAKER_00I uh Oh and I went out there two years ago and looked at all the motorcycles that were in in the building.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00And then the bartender there, uh, she was a cute little thing from uh Hawaii. And she was a school teacher out in Hawaii. Jeez. And she said, you know, she in the summers there's no school. So she goes around to these different rallies and bartends, and she had the body for it.
SPEAKER_02There's a well, that guy that I said from Norfolk met up with that gal, you know, she that's you know, she manages them, but she I'm sure she bartended everything. Sure. And that's I'm sure how he met her.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Yeah. Those girls can make some money up there. Well, if they know how to if they know how to do it.
SPEAKER_02They have it the right bar, they have to be in the right bar too.
SPEAKER_00And they have to have the right attitude for it.
SPEAKER_02Yes, they too many, it's kind of getting to the point anymore where I seen there is and I'll tell you one thing, last year the any of the Sturgis pages was nothing but a bitch side. Everybody bitching about it. Yeah, everybody bitching about the prices and the women under that were bartending were complaining that the men were ogling them, and it's like look at what you're wearing. You you want them to that's how you're making your money. What are you but seriously, there was a handful of girls that were pissing and moaning about it. It's like, go home. Yeah, yeah. I mean, uh, if you don't, honestly, if you don't want to be looked at, I won't look at you, but don't wear the clothes to be looked at.
SPEAKER_00Right.
SPEAKER_02That's my philosophy.
SPEAKER_00We we were standing in this bar, we were we were with the guy, those farmers from Iowa that we that we were camping with. And this was another doobie incident. It wasn't so much a doobie, it was uh it was an edible. But uh I had a couple edibles and uh a couple of them. And we had taken the shuttle bus into down for the downtown area, and we're walking around from bar to bar to bar, and we get into the oasis bar over there, and we're all kind of standing, they have karaoke going on, and there's tables in front of us, and then the karaoke stage, and I'm standing there and I'm in one of those like stoner like stare, and I'm just in like a heavy thought in the back of my head, and I'm not really looking at anything, just thinking. And the waitress comes up to me, and I don't I don't know, maybe I was like that for five minutes. I don't know, I was pretty fucking ripped, but uh but she says, That girl doesn't want you staring at her. And I said, What girl? And she goes, Don't act stupid. And she just walks away. I was like, fuck you. I wasn't staring at any any particular person. I was in a stoner gaze. I was like, whatever, you know. That's the thing though. It it so then it made me look for a girl. I was looking for one that was staring at me and wondering, why are you staring at me? But uh and then we left shortly after.
SPEAKER_02You know what's funny though? The waitress probably the girl probably never said one thing to the waitress. The waitress probably took it upon herself.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Or the waitress saw that I was really stoned and wanted to fuck with me. Maybe she's like, this guy's either really drunk or stoned one of the two. I'm gonna fuck with him.
SPEAKER_02I don't know. I guess I get testy about that kind of shit. You're in a place where people are gonna look at you. If you don't like it, I'm not saying the girl was working or nothing, but you're still gonna get looked at no matter where you're at.
SPEAKER_00Right. You dress attractive for a reason. You know, you want the attention or she attractive?
SPEAKER_02Did you find one?
SPEAKER_00I don't know who I was staring at to this day yet. I mean, it could have been a midget as far as I know. Maybe she hid under the table. That's funny. But uh you ever go to the midget wrestling up there? No, no, no, oh man, we got to do that this year. They they have it usually somewhere up there, you know, during the Sturgis rally. It's so much fun to watch. Is it? Yeah, it's I know that it's hilarious.
SPEAKER_02I know that Elizabeth tried to get us to go to the mud wrestle, the women must at yeah at a Glinko.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Out of Glinco, and uh she went over for a while, I think, and hung out and watched the women wrestle.
SPEAKER_00They always have it over there at Algona, too. God, and you think with Algona, it's always a hot, hot rally as hell. And you gotta think, man, that mud's gotta get hot too. You would think you probably feel good though, you know, wet anyway.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. So I don't know. I when I go to Algona, I always wonder why we take our bikes. You went last year, you didn't go last year.
SPEAKER_00I didn't go last year. No, dude.
SPEAKER_02It was basically rained.
SPEAKER_00And it was weird, I think that's why I didn't go because I didn't have a bike.
SPEAKER_02No, I hadn't. No, you didn't buy your bike until like a week before you left the surgeons.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, that's right.
SPEAKER_02But uh we we thought we could be A storm we were going over the casino, I think, as we were going, and we thought we could beat it the way it looked like it was tracking. All of a sudden, it must have shifted gears, and you could just see we're driving into a wall, and I'm riding along, and all of a sudden, I I was yeah, downpouring. So I pulled over, and my wife keeps going. I'm like, Well, what are you doing? What do you? And then so Elizabeth scene. I stopped, she spun around. I said, Go get your mom, let's go back. So she buzzed up, got her mom, and by that time I got turned around and I'm waiting for him, getting drenched, and all of a sudden they come buzzing by. I said, Get going. I said, Let's just get back. So we kind of ride out of it, and we're right on the front edge of it. I mean, it's just chasing us. So then we go through town, and then we get the port on again. Or then we get, you know how when you go out there, you go out and you go to that, I'm not sure what road it is, but then you hang a left, yeah, and you go out towards that way. It was just like we just drove right into uh just buckets and buckets and buckets, and so Sarah's Sarah's kind of leading, and all of a sudden she comes to a dead stop. Well, we're could barely see anyway. And so I pulled, I said, What are you doing? She goes, I can't see. I said, Let me take the lead. So she everybody we crawled along and we finally made it back to the camper, and it was just and Elizabeth went on down to her campground. She because she was camping in a tent, yeah, and it was it was probably the worst rain I'd rode in in a long, long time. Uh I hate riding in the rain. It hits you, well I'll call you in five minutes. Yeah, okay. Well, you know what? We've been going now, it's only been about 45 minutes, I guess. We'll pause it, we'll come back. I we probably won't go too much later because it all depends on how long this conversation goes.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02We got somebody calling us that's gonna help us out with a couple things. So give us some time. Uh we'll be back to at least say goodbye if that's what it takes. Alrighty, all right. Okay, everybody, we're back real quick. We are just gonna we're just gonna basically talk a few more minutes and call it a day because today is the big snowstorm of February. Yeah. And so we figure one of us break it on the road and we got a phone call to take.
SPEAKER_00And you know, there that snowstorm usually comes about the time of this bike or bike show in Lank and everything.
SPEAKER_02It's always cold for this damn bike show.
SPEAKER_00There was one year, Brooke and I we rode down from Omaha. Oh, yeah. And uh and it was a beautiful day out. I mean, it was nice, sun was out, everything else, and they were talking snow, and we're like, there ain't a cloud in the sky. We're gonna ride down to this, and I guess if it starts getting cloudy or whatever, we'll head back. And we got in there and we start bullshitting with people, and we're talking and talking, and we come out, and it's flurrying. And I'm like, oh shit, we gotta get going. And we rode back to Omaha, but the roads were starting to get slick. I mean, I was kind of scared riding back sketchy right there. Yeah, but yeah, it always always seems like this is usually our last snowstorm of the year kind of thing, and it happens during this weekend of the motorcycle show that there in Lincoln.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Hey, I did I want to say this before we get going too far. Number one, uh, I don't know. Do you have a business? Do you want to promote your business at all? Do you want to say anything about your business? No.
SPEAKER_00No. Okay. That's why we do a lot of work for other people.
SPEAKER_02So uh I always keep in mind rock bottom welding. That's something I uh always do. Well, the the big announcement I want to make is the fact that uh a buddy and I, as a matter of fact, it's a guy that is hired full-time. Um, we are teaming up and we are going to. I don't I I don't want to call it a bike shop because it's not a motorcycle shop. We're not gonna be doing a whole shit ton of repairs and stuff like that. What we want to do is like custom work. Like if you want to put new handlebars on your bike, if you want to put new pipes on your bike, if you want to, you know, do crazy stuff to your bike, we're we want to do that. We I bought a tire machine, a tire balancer, and that kind of stuff. So we'll do oil changes and that kind of stuff. We kind of expect to be busy with that. We're called, believe it or not, two fat guy customs. Um, him and I are both on the on a bigger. Oh, that's the other thing I want to say. Is one thing that we never did do when I was with with Tyler was we were slowly, but I think Sean and I are gonna do a little bit faster. We're gonna put cameras up and we're gonna start doing a video and we'll have a YouTube channel.
SPEAKER_00Kind of what our uh this phone call is about.
SPEAKER_02The phone call we're waiting on is somebody that's gonna help us kind of get this going.
SPEAKER_00So I have a friend of mine out in Las Vegas that he's got a he's got a very successful uh YouTube channel, and so so we're gonna take some pointers from him. Any advice is good advice at this point, and we're kind of going in this blind. And so if we can get some advice from people that have already made the mistakes, maybe it'd save us from making a mistake.
SPEAKER_02So we'll take that. And uh, but so that those are the two things. Number one, two fat guy customs. We're not open yet. We plan to be open, hopefully. If I'm pushing it, I don't know that I'm gonna make it, but I want to be open by March 1st, but I got a lot of work I gotta do to get open by March 1st. Um if not by March 1st, definitely we have to be open by the middle of March. So um if you hear this and you got a bike and you need oil chains, tire change, you want to try that out first, see what we're like. The nice thing we're gonna do is if you you can't buy a tire online anymore and take it to a to a shop and have them put it on, we're willing to do that.
SPEAKER_00We well, and if if they want some parts uh powder coated too, you do powder coating.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, we do powder coating, and and we're getting into hydro dipping. Yeah, and uh I make custom parts. That's that's some of this new equipment I'm buying is to help with that because I want to start making custom parts for bikes, um like sissy bars and things like that. Um, and hopefully when once we get cameras up, when I start making some sissy bars and such, I can kind of show. But yeah, that's that's my new and the thing is no, I don't have time to do it. That's the reason I brought on a partner. The partner will basically be the man. Um, I I'll probably be able to help do tires and some oil changes, but I'll basically be welding, he'll basically be doing the bike shop and part-time, you know, at first until things, you know.
SPEAKER_00It takes a while to grow a business. It does, man.
SPEAKER_02It doesn't happen overnight. People people look at the successful ones and think they can do it overnight. Yeah, nothing. I unless you have so much money that you can pay people to do the little stuff, it doesn't happen overnight. Right, it does not happen overnight. So we Sarah and I and Sean bust our ass to make every dime we have, and so a lot of sleepless nights, a lot of body aches, a lot of those, man. A lot of surgeries to fix the body parts that are going bad.
SPEAKER_00I I saw a video today. Uh, this gal was saying, you blue-collar guys, what you can build anything, and you can fix anything, and and if something doesn't work, you can figure out how to make it work. But when it comes to your bodies, you say, Oh, it's it's just a growing pain. Oh, it's it's just and you guys never go to a doctor, you just shrug it off, and in a couple of weeks, you know, you might have to walk funny for a couple weeks, and then all of a sudden you're fine again. And you know, it's very true.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, well I fell the other a couple weeks ago, and you see my fist is still kind of swelling up. Yeah, I think I maybe broke a bone in my hand. Well, I was at the doctor, and I said, I said, Doc, I said, if you x-ray this, I said, Are you gonna be able to anything from any me for me anyway, except for put it in a stent? He goes, No, that's what we'll do. I said, Well, we'll just pretend. I said, if it hurts me, I'll put a stint on. How about that? Yeah, so it's it's swollen because every day I use it and grind and stuff like that. So every day it gets it'll go down and then it'll come back up, and yeah, it hurts to make a fist.
SPEAKER_00I think I'm I'm finally getting at that age where I can go in for a knee surgery. Oh, and I've needed it since my early 30s. Oh yeah. And with all the flooring that I do, I'll I'll tell you what, even with knee pads on, climbing around on a floor all day, putting, you know, doing tile or doing piecing little things together, it might be two, three days. You're on your hands and knees just crawling around on a floor all day long. And my knees are at the point where even with knee pads, I crawl around and it feels like I'm kneeling on nails.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00And I mean, it's a sharp pain. No, I understand. And but the doctors kept telling me, You're too young, you're too young. No, I'm not. This hurts. Yeah, exactly. Get it friggin' done if I gotta do it twice. I gotta do it twice.
SPEAKER_02You know why they say it because the insurance companies only want to pay for it once. Right. You know, when they done my hips, they're like, you know, these are only gonna last about 20 years. Well, I said, Well, I'll probably be dead in 20 years, so I don't think we'll worry too much about it. So, yeah, our bodies take a beating, and I I I do go to the doctor when I feel it's warranted, but yeah, I mean, there are things that you just let go because you know what the doctor's gonna say, usually. Yeah, they're either gonna prescribe prescribe a painkiller, which I'm already on, yeah, or tell you that there's nothing they can do, or major surgery, and none of it matters, you know.
SPEAKER_00Yep, we go, I ain't got time for a major surgery, son of a bitch.
SPEAKER_02That's the time to pay for it. Well, I don't I my wife has insurance, but but it it just taking time off is when you got a full-time business and that's how you pay your bills, you don't take time. See, and you know what that guy that works part-time for me. I think I told this story where he chopped his toe off a couple. Did I tell that story? Um, you know, he missed a couple weeks, and the doctor is saying, Oh, yeah, I don't want you to go back to work until until the you know it's stitches and everything else. He's like, That guy doesn't understand for me to pay him, I have to go back to work, you know. And they don't realize that. They keep telling you, Oh, you need more time off. I I you need to figure out how to make that faster, you know.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, because I'm going back to work. If I needed more time off, I would have been laying out in Cancun, fucking hanging out, and taking and yeah. And it would have been cheaper than the doctor's office. A hundred percent. They say, they say, yeah, when I get old, instead of going to the nursing home, I'm gonna live in a hotel because it's a hell of a lot cheaper. No, you got housekeeping every day, got somebody to make sure I'm still alive.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, at least knock on the door and say, housekeeping.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, can I come fluffy loop? But yeah, it's and that's a it's a true fact. I mean, you figure $100 a day, that's what, three three grand a month? And a lot of these nursing homes, they're 10 grand a month. Oh, easy. And you get half the room that you get at a hotel.
SPEAKER_02It's not as comfy, I dare and ask. Yeah, I guarantee you that don't smell like a nursing home. Yeah, that was my mom worked in nursing homes for a lot of years after my dad got sick. Um, my mom worked in nursing homes, and oh, it was such a yes for a lot. I mean, don't get me wrong, those that work in there and those that live there, I'm no disrespect, but it smells like a diaper.
SPEAKER_00It does. It does. My wife works in one and does you know the rehab part of it, uh, when people come in after back surgeries and knee surgeries and stuff. And my daughter and I went in to go see her on Valentine's Day or you know, Christmas or something like that. And yeah, that every one of them have the same smell.
SPEAKER_02And I I don't think I've told, and I think I've said this on this on the on this podcast before. I have instructed my family that if I get dementia, take you out into the cornfield and drop me because I won't know.
SPEAKER_00So yeah. Well, you know, they there's some truth to that too.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I don't know. I just I hope I don't get dementia. My mom's doing really well. Um, she's a shield. What is today?
SPEAKER_00Uh February 19th. Okay.
SPEAKER_02Oh crap, just about missed it. Tomorrow's her birthday.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Um, but uh don't miss mom's birthday. So I gotta double check this now. Yeah, it's a 19th.
SPEAKER_02Okay. Uh but uh she's gonna be turning 84, 85, 86, somewhere in there. Um and she's still got her brain cells, but I got an aunt that has not isn't doing and it kind of breaks my heart because as a matter of fact, when my dad got sick, uh my aunt and uncle were kind of my second parents because they I went and stayed with them because back when my dad got sick the first time, he was in 1979, and you didn't go in for heart surgery and out like they do now.
SPEAKER_00Right.
SPEAKER_02He was in the hospital for about a month, and so I went and stayed with my aunt and uncle and now you go in for heart surgery, you're out the next day. Yeah, they pump you out really fast. And so to see it, and I I met my uncle had a birthday party here a couple weeks ago and I missed it, and it simply because I had to get some work done, and I I um I would have went, but I would have been heart brokenhearted to see her. My mom said that she didn't even know who her own sister was, you know, and yeah, so it broke my mom's heart too. And so it worries my mom. My mom is 80 some years old. I'm scared I'm gonna get dementia. Well, guys, uh, it's been a short show, and it's simply because we got some business to take care of. And a snowstorm. Yeah, in a snowstorm, but uh we will catch you up next we will talk for six hours next week.
SPEAKER_00All right, you got anything else to say, Sean? No, I hope everybody has a good week and uh enjoy the snow.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, good luck, guys.

SPEAKER_02Bye.
