00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 4: also have a twelfth office. It's a wire fulfillment center.

160
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,320

161
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 4: the Microsoft Data Center is.

162
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,320

Speaker 4: be the tradesman. It's going to be the maintenance person.

166
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 4: Like we generally don't deal with the end user, okay,

167
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 4: or the normal just homeowner. So we have a lot

168
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 4: of homeowners that come into our counter.

169
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 3: But he sells the people that specifically know what they want.

170
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,120

173
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: Like Kurnel Electric and people who they compete with would

174
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: be somebody that So your day to day operations, you personally,

175
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: are you talking to people like Chuck Smith at Kernel Electrics.

176
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 4: I'm dealing with electricians, I'm dealing with architects, designers, builders,

177
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 4: all of the above, project managers. But it's all in

178
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 4: the construction trade.

179
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 2: Not only that.

180
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 3: When you see a subdivision get built up, there's long

181
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 3: about utilities. He can tell you about the shortages or

182
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 3: what what you can get, what you can't get. I mean,

183
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 3: you know, I'm on a community with them that you

184
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 3: run with utilities. That's a whole different part of construction

185
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 3: that most people don't even know about.

186
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: Hey, and before we get more into what Warner does

187
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: you personally when we talk about this this race car

188
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: driver that he cared more about giving back to the community. Look,

189
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,200

Speaker 4: You do a fair amount.

192
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: The idea of giving back and being able to network

193
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: and help people is something that obviously important to you.

194
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 4: It's huge, huge for me. When I was growing up

195
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,000

197
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 4: the things that he always used to say is if

Speaker 4: you help enough people get what they want in life,

199
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 4: you'll have everything you ever need. I'm a big fan

200
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:51,960

00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 4: It's pretty crazy. Yeah, we did not have this opportunity

227
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 4: when I went to high school at Grafton. The fact

228

245
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:46,280

252
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: been around, and you know I on your website. What

253
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: I like is that first line just to provide customers

254
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: quality electrical products and services. Right throughout the years, Werner,

255
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 1: you know you've worked to meet challenging customer needs. And

256
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,839
Speaker 1: that's kind of you. You're putting puzzles together on a

257
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: daily basis. If I went back to you as a

258
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: senior at crafton years ago and said, hey, you know

259
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: how many years from now we're going to be able

260
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: to radio show and for an hour you're going to

261
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: talk about electrical supplies. What would you have said to me?

262
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 4: I would have said you were nuts. I mean, I

263
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 4: would have probably said something else, but I was told

264
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 4: I couldn't use those words.

265
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: Yeah you're not using here. You know what Spencer's good,

266
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: but he's not that good.

267
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 4: So I grew up in a family that sold medical products,

268
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 4: so I was doing medical sales in high school at

269
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 4: that time. So I would have told you I would

270
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 4: have been a salesperson, but I would have never thought

271
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 4: I would have found my way into the trades and

272
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 4: in construction and electrical and stuff like that.

273
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 1: How did that happen? Because you had owned your own

274
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: company for a while yep, and decided not to make

275
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: a make a career move, and how did that happen?

276
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 4: So there's a long story there, but the short version

277
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 4: is I ended up merging a business with my parents,

278
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 4: and I realized that it wasn't good for us as

279
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 4: we were developing a family with Christy, and we got

280
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 4: pregnant and all of that, and work was work, and

281
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 4: it was becoming more and more work, and it was

282
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 4: tied with my family and we couldn't separate the two.

283
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 4: So we decided. I decided to just walk away from

284
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 4: that business and look for something new. I found Werner

285
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 4: because it's a privately owned, family owned, Wisconsin owned company,

286
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 4: and they seemed to treat when I was looking. They

287
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 4: treated their employees right, they treated their customers.

288
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: Right, perfect, and your parents are right. Everything they're they're

289
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: doing good. There's still you're going to get take it

290
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: out Christmas wise, everything.

291
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 4: Will be there Christmas Eve good, good good. Our relationship

292
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 4: got better when I left the business.

293
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: You know. It's almost like coaching, right. I coached my

294
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: son and uh in basketball, and that sophomore year that

295
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: I coached him was not great. But I was the

296
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: adult in the room and I had to make some changes.

297
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: And I'm glad that you saw that. And that was it.

298
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: It's been a really good move for you.

299
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been phenomenal.

300
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: Good for you.

301
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 3: Hey, when when people talk about the families, because family,

302
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 3: I've been through all this stuff, but we've been through it.

303
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was like, yeah, I was never gonna work

304
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 2: for my dad.

305
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 3: There was no way, right, you know, and then he's

306
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 3: can help me for a couple of weeks in eighty

307
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 3: six and here I am here and then you know,

308
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 3: same thing. My son, my daughter never had no way.

309
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 3: Katie always said she was good and she's the only

310
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 3: one that's not working Sam, Sam and Zach. I mean

311
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:39,719
Speaker 3: they run the company, now, you know what I mean.

312
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: And you guys can separate them. Look, I know Zach

313
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: has got a lot of interest outside of work. Sam

314
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,720

00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: the family.

336
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 4: Careful and you get kissed on the forehead and that family.

337
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and hey, just get in the back seat

338
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: over there in the creative Constructions truck. I'm not good.

339
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 2: I wonder what happened if Debbi kissed you for it?

340
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: She would come in the studio and do it, then

341
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: we can talk about it. But she's not doing that. Hey, Mike,

342
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: when you started with Warner did you start on the

343
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: ground floor? How did how did that work? And how

344
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: have you progressed throughout the eleven years?

345
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 4: So I came in as new business to in sales.

346
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 4: When they hired me, I had only ever known medical

347
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 4: sales and with the family business that I grew up in.

348
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 4: And so I came over and they're like, you gotta

349
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 4: do two million and two years. I go, is that normal?

350
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 4: Is that new? Is that what normal people can do?

351
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 4: And they're like, oh, yeah, that's that's pretty normal. I

352
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 4: was like I So I found out I was the

353
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 4: first guy in maybe five or six years who was

354
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 4: given an account package of zero. But I did one

355
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 4: point nine to eight in two years, so they kept me.

356
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: Yeah you didn't hit that budget.

357
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 4: I didn't, but I was. I was pretty darn close.

358
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: So not a close is not I would have fired you.

359
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just came. It's a thing I might have too,

360
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 4: I'm just kidding.

361
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: Good, good for you. And then as you moved, obviously

362
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: you now you travel quite but you told me how

363
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: many miles you put on that.

364
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 4: We did just about forty eight thousand miles this year,

365
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 4: So lot did you drive it?

366
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: Yeah? What's your territory then?

367
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 4: So we cover all of Wisconsin and then up into

368
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 4: the up. Our offices are Iron Mountain, Stevens Point, Wassaw,

369
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 4: Green Bay, Appleton, Fond of lac Kenosha, Madison, Janesville, Wow, Pewaukee.

370
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I just saw some You can actually

371
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 3: take a cruise ship down from Milwaukee from Michigan.

372
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so you can. You know they can save

373
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 2: on your miles on truck.

374
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 4: I might have to look at that.

375
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, I and I took the one

376
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: the lake expressed a couple of times over in Missipis.

377
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 3: I know, but there's actually a cruise ship. I saw

378
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 3: it on like Facebook. It goes all around all this

379
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 3: lake and it goes through it upper Lake.

380
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: There you go.

381
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 2: You don't have to put all those miles. How many

382
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 2: ports do biking one on biking cruise.

383
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: So there you go, bring your bike and and and

384
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: get going for that.

385
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 3: As I'm saying, so you can you can take that

386
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 3: and you can deduct it because you say miles on

387
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 3: your truck.

388
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: You know what, if they're listening and they're gonna get

389
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna be going. Hey, that's not a bad idea.

390
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 4: I think if I had an expense for a cruise

391
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 4: in Lake Michigan, I might get questions.

392
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: You might get questioned, especially if if your wife and

393
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: two kids are with you. For sure, Hey, in your industry,

394
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: there's been so many changes in the eleven years. So

395
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 1: you've got to the educational side of what you do.

396
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: You've got to be on tap of all this because look,

397
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: the trends and smart and people are able to do

398
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: a lot of things right now. You know, when you're

399
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: my age, you just want to turn the light on

400
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: the way we've always done it. Other people are like look,

401
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 1: I'm five minutes from home. I'm going to utilize my

402
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: app and my phone to turn the lights on, turn

403
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: the music on, get the fireplate, all of that. And

404
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: we're going to get into that in the second segment

405
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: because I have some questions with that, but you've got

406
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: to be on TAPA all that.

407
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 4: So we are constantly looking learning, going to manufacturers. I

408
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 4: go to the International Builders Show to see what's new,

409
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 4: what's coming, what's on the coasts, and what to bring

410
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 4: back to the Midwest because we are generally about five

411
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 4: to ten years behind usually on trends. And that's okay.

412
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 4: That is totally okay because a lot of the stuff

413
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 4: starts and fails and then doesn't go anywhere, so we

414
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 4: don't have to worry about those little hiccups.

415
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and and the fact that that shake carpeting

416
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: is now just not a thing anymore around here. I

417
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,239
Speaker 1: understand that whole disco is coming back from from what

418
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: I hear. Hey, when when you get a chance, chew.

419
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 3: I was just gonna, you know, interrupt you about education.

420
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,959
Speaker 3: You know, He's part of education is constant, I mean,

421
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 3: and now people don't realize that. So I'm certified in

422
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 3: that if you're certified on two years. So much has

423
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 3: changed in the last two years, especially electrical. I mean

424
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 3: they're changing. You can buy something. It's like if you

425
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 3: buy a computer now from you know the name of

426
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 3: box store, right when you go home, it's probably outdated already, right,

427
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 3: I mean there's there's new versions, better version that yours

428
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 3: is obsolete. You know, you weren't whatever, And just saying that, yes,

429
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 3: the electrical world to stay on top of it. It's

430
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 3: got to, I mean, things are changing so fast. I

431
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 3: mean it's got to be a full time job just

432
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 3: trying to pay attention to what what new products are

433
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 3: coming out today.

434
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: Well, we had we had Wade from Current Electric out

435
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,439
Speaker 1: and you put a new ceiling fan in my office

436
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: because the other one was And it was there for

437
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: a week and it was fine, and all of a

438
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: sudden stopped working. So he came out and took it apart,

439
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:12,199
Speaker 1: and the wire he just had a duct tape the

440
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 1: wire together so it would stay. And he was like,

441
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: you know, I was going to just take it down

442
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: and have you bring it back, but let me take

443
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 1: a look at it. And so he him and his

444
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: guy were playing with it, and he said, look, when

445
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: I move it just a little, it goes back on.

446
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: So let me just tape this and do that. And

447
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: I think you should probably consider this. And I go

448
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 1: get out of my house because anytime look they you know,

449
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: we have a couple outlets have with grandkids. We should

450
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: probably get updated. But and they look around, right, they

451
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: these guys are smart enough, and when they have ideas,

452
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: they're like, hey, is Terry available, I'm like, no, she's not,

504
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 1: There's always stuff going on. But people that are totally

505
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 1: involved with smart control and they they love to be

506
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: able to utilize that. Can we talk a little bit

507
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: about key components and devices when it comes to that,

508
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 1: smart switches and dimmers and smart plugs. I just smart thermostats.

509
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: I don't understand a lot of that, but everybody can.

510
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: Man you can pretty much control your house from your

511
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 1: phone nowadays.

512
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 4: You can control your house from your phone and it

513
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 4: can start everywhere from your load center in true energy management,

514
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 4: so where your circuit breakers are and everything in the house.

515
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 4: You can get a smart load center nowadays where you

516
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 4: can manage every single circuit that's in your house. See

517
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 4: what amps are being drawn up to doing your switches

518
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 4: and dimmers. Like our coach lights at our house are

519
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 4: run on a lutron system. Of course they are, so

520
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 4: the coach lights come on.

521
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 1: Is right.

522
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 2: System on your coach lighthouse?

523
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: No, No, I barely have a I got a dimmer house,

524
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: so excited. I'm not kidding. My wife and I think

525
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: way to the people like Curl Electric. They put dimmer

526
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: switches for our kitchen and we just keep messing around

527
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 1: with it.

528
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 3: In a given family, you know, Mike's got older and

529
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 3: people think in a given family, he was the guy

530
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 3: that had to go around light the light the candles

531
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 3: on the street.

532
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 1: Yes, ouch, that hurts all right. Now we're even on

533
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: that whole always joke, that Toboggan joke. But I can

534
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 1: tell you that it makes a world of difference if

535
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: we're cooking or if we have you know, we put

536
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: on a little berry white and we're slow dance and

537
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: you want that mood light. Sure, And I can tell

538
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: you that something as simple as that makes a huge difference.

539
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

540
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 4: Now you can even just say, hey, Alexa, turn down

541
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 4: my lights or change the setting to this, or if

542
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 4: you have the right system set up, you can use

543
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 4: your Alexa and Google Play and Apple Play.

544
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 3: It's I'm still having trouble used to it because I go

545
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 3: to people's customer's house and they'll say, you know what

546
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 3: great Google or hey Android or hey something Alexa. They'll

547
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 3: say something, yeah, turn the lights on, turn this on

548
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 3: that you know, and there's no switches.

549
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: I know how you do it. It's too much for me.

550
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 1: I've got to be My kids are all into that.

551
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: Then we're just like, no, we know where the light switches.

552
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 2: I do. I'm getting used to because I like it.

553
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 3: Because you know, I get a delivery at the shop, right,

554
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 3: they push a button and rings on my phone. I

555
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 3: can open the garage door, reset the alarm when they leave.

556
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 3: You know, just things you can do. And I I

557
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 3: mean all the gravestors are all on my phone home,

558
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 3: every single one of them.

559
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: Well, and there the cameras on the door, right. I mean,

560
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: we just saw that workout right at Brown University where

561
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 1: they went to the neighbors and said, we need to

562
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: we need all the the footage that we can get.

563
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 1: When when somebody asks you the benefits of smart technology

564
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: in your industry, what do you tell them?

565
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 4: So besides security and control, it's also knowledge and it

566
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 4: could be preventative maintenance too, depending on what you're doing.

567
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 4: Like when I talked about that energy management system. We're

568
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 4: in a land of some pumps and generators in Wisconsin.

569
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 4: And if you have an energy management system and your

570
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 4: some pump normally draws eight amps and now it's drawn

571
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 4: eleven amps, you're able to monitor that and see that,

572
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 4: and it's like, maybe I should be replacing my some

573
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 4: pump instead of having a some pump failure and a

574
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 4: flood in the basement.

575
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 3: Well, then you would have to teach your customers what

576
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 3: do you even look for? But because of you, tel

577
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 3: Mike A watch your ambridge. He's like, many, excuse.

578
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: Me, what are you talking about?

579
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 4: Are playing the guitar or what? Half am I watching?

580
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 1: Yeah? I look. When we moved into this, this new

581
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: condo in Pewaukee, and again they a lot of the

582
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: stuff they did was really good, and some stuff they

583
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 1: went cheap. On our thermosteat was like one of the

584
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 1: old ones with the dial. Sure, and it was a

585
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 1: When we moved in November three years ago, it was

586
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 1: a rainstorm and we were moving stuff in and I

587
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: called the president over at Donovan Jorians and Scott Fisher

588
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: and I said, hey, next week, I'd like to get

589
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: a and he's like, I'd like to get this taken

590
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 1: out and I sent him a picture. He started laughing.

591
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: He said, what are you in? Like an old motel?

592
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 1: And I go, no, that this is what it is.

593
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: He goes, hey, it was six thirty on a Friday.

594
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: He goes, I still got a guy. Let me call

595
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,959
Speaker 1: and see because he lives out in that area. He

596
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,479
Speaker 1: came over like a half hour later and just redid

597
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 1: it all and it took us a little while to

598
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: figure it out. That's why this smart technology for me,

599
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: I'm still figuring out how to get it from seventy

600
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: to seventy one when it's when it's cold, so don't last.

601
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 4: So the blessing about the thermostats though, like you can

602
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 4: be gone on vacation and forget you didn't change your

603
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 4: thermostats setting, so you're wasting energy. Now you can go

604
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 4: in and change it while you're gone and readjust it

605
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 4: so that you're not wasting as much energy while you're gone.

606
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: Well then, and talking about benefits, right, the convenience is one,

607
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: but energy savings is a second. Yep, for sure.

608
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do all the time, RelA. I turn to

609
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 2: eat up as long before we get there.

610
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 3: But I'm trying to get use to the gauge because

611
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 3: you've got one of those gauges that you can't It

612
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 3: looks blank, right, and then if you walk in front

613
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 3: of it gets but you get it. Oh sure, I

614
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 3: didn't realize. I didn't realize that's much. There must be

615
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 3: motion censored there.

616
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 4: There is a sensor on a lot of them where

617
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 4: they just brighten back up. It's the elied it's the

618
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 4: led screen that's there. It brings back up as you

619
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 4: walk by it or towards it, and then it dies

620
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 4: down after Yeah, and I was last than twenty seconds.

621
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 2: I thought there's something wrong with it. But it's supposed

622
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 2: to be that way.

623
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be that way. Which is some of

624
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: the the devices and key components in in in with

625
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 1: smart is is smart switches and demers. Correct. I mean

626
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 1: that's kind of the first. That's that's really.

627
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 4: Basic, that is and that's where like Lutron is the

628
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 4: king of smarts. If you're going to have a smart home,

629
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 4: whether you have a basic smart in the Cassada system

630
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 4: or you have a super crazy defensive smart, it's called homeworks.

631
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 2: Is the next one system.

632
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: I have no idea. That's why we have him there.

633
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: He could do the rest of the hour talk.

634
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 2: Isn't that real bug? That noise?

635
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: Yes, I thought that's what it was, but I'm pretty

636
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: sure that's what he's talking about.

637
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 4: I thought you were going to bring back the Cassada tapes,

638
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 4: you know, they had the ribbons on them.

639
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: I still have some in my car. Do you want

640
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: me to go go? Hey? The eight tracks? Really crafting boy,

641
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear the whole age thing. Hey, thermostats,

642
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: control panels, So that would be the next step into

643
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: this world, correct.

644
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, the and the load centers, the smart load centers

645
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 4: and breakers that energy management like that is the next

646
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 4: that's really the next realm.

647
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: Of where we're going. Spencer's holding up the old a

648
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: track from from this, you know, from our studio, which

649
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: is there's nothing smart about this studio, by the way,

650
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: other than Spencer and Bingo and you.

651
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 4: I'm looking at the buttons on here that are lighting up.

652
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 4: I wouldn't have any idea how to make that.

653
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 2: W When I was in high school, this was the

654
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 2: station on my AM radio, my van. That was it.

655
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: This was it. Yeah, yeah, w o ky for sure. Hey,

656
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: when when people say listen, I want to start to

657
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: ease into this right part of it, and are they

658
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: able to then just kind of like, okay, let's try

659
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: this that way. If we just do the switches and

660
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: the smart plugs and the thermostat before we start to

661
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: in the whole house, people can can put their toe

662
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: in the water in this in this category, right.

663
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 4: There's a time and a place though, if you're remodeling

664
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 4: or you already have your current place. That's where we

665
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 4: start small. We start low and slow, and we add

666
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 4: a thermostat, we add some lutron stuff where you can

667
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 4: have three wireless, three way controlling in your house. That's

668
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 4: like the most basic, simple starting piece of the smart devices.

669
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 4: But then if you're doing new construction, we look at like,

670
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 4: if you really want to get into it, go into

671
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 4: it all the way so that you can have a

672
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 4: smart brain around your house that controls your electrical circuit.

673
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 4: And then you start building off of that.

674
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: Hey, do you see manufacturers and you know people in

675
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: that industry, are they going into smart as well?

676
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, So when you're looking at new development R and D,

677
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 4: they're constantly looking at different things, what to do, how

678
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 4: to do that. There's different light fixtures that have come out

679
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 4: with smart controls, but they wired differently than your normal switch.

680
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 4: So they've almost started going away way like it was

681
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 4: a one to two year push about four years ago

682
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 4: where the light fixtures themselves had their own controls from

683
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 4: a residential standpoint. Now those have gone away almost completely,

684
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 4: so that.

685
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: You can't ask why do you think they went away?

686
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 4: Because they were dropping neutrals and stuff, and it wasn't

687
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 4: If someone moved into the house that was new to

688
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 4: the house and they wanted to replace something, there may

689
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 4: not have been a wire that would have been there

690
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 4: just to do a normal switch because of how it

691
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 4: connected and how it wirelessly communicated. And so a lot

692
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 4: of those different things have gone away where you're still

693
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 4: using your primary normal devices, your levitin, hubble pass and

694
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 4: Seymour lutron devices, so they're wired the same way.

695
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: All the wires are.

696
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:47,959
Speaker 4: There and existing now when people move or change or whatever.

697
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: Wow. So what people thought was a really good idea

698
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: after a couple of years realized it probably for the

699
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: long term, not a great idea, right.

700
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 4: It was gonna save labor on the shore term, but

701
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 4: it was hard to just add into an existing place.

702
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 4: It was only really working for new construction. Like it

703
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 4: was just it was a good idea. But I mean

704
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 4: that's what we do in R and D is we

705
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 4: try different things and some work and some don't.

706
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: When we talked about control panels, like I just talked about,

707
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: you know, wall touch screens and voice assistance with Alexa

708
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: and Google, they are you looking at panels at different

709
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: places in the house, or is one panel to be

710
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: able to control the whole house.

711
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 4: So we're there's different things that I think, terminology wise,

712
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 4: that we have that we have to clear up. From

713
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 4: a panel standpoint, are you just talking about like a

714
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 4: tablet or a screen where you're controlling different lights in audio?

715
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 4: Or are you talking about the panel that's in your

716
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 4: basement that controls your circuit breakers?

717
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, all the above, I guess, right, So they're different panels.

718
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 4: So it would be different, right, Yeah, and yeah.

719
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: Very interesting to me. The convenience makes a lot of sense.

720
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: And it's like we lived on the corner on eighty

721
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: eighth in Towns for years before I bought a snowblower.

722
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: Once I got a snowblower, I was never going back.

723
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: Right this kind of stuff, I think once you kind

724
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: of tip your toe in and you go, wow, this

725
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: is you know, it's convenient. I don't have to get

726
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: up from my charity to turn the lights on it and

727
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: just go on my phone and hit them. I think

728
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: once people start to get involved in it and get

729
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: more comfortable with it, then they start to do more

730
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: and more. I would think it's crazy how it grows.

731
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 4: And the AI that's out there now too, so you

732
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 4: can have self learning systems that learn the lights and

733
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 4: what lights should be on and off at the different times.

734
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 4: So that's something that's out there. It's not economical, but

735
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 4: it's out there, right, and it's coming and it should

736
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 4: start to get better priced as it goes. But when

737
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 4: you mess and start doing with timers that are astrological

738
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 4: timers just for your outdoor lighting, it's such a cool

739
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 4: security thing. You realize that your light's changed. You could

740
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 4: have your coach lights go from coach to spot from

741
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 4: a security standpoint depending on the night in the day.

742
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 4: So it's wild what's out there when you're playing with it.

743
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,320
Speaker 4: There's also like the Halo Whiz is the color changing

744
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 4: can light. I know you had talked about that earlier,

745
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 4: and so they have a pre set setting and the

746
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 4: switches where if you just turn the switch on once,

747
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 4: it's one color and if you turn it off and

748
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 4: turn it right back on, it can come up as

749
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 4: a different color.

750
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 2: Well, I thought there was a yeah, we got the

751
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 2: if you turn a real fast change.

752
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 1: Yeah.

753
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 3: I didn't even know it was a term for it.

754
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 3: Al I thought I just thought the something wrong. I

755
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 3: why if you clip the switch back and forth it changes.

756
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,919
Speaker 4: So it's dual switching is the setup and how it's called,

757
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 4: and you.

758
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 3: Can program it. It makes it real bright blue. And

759
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 3: I don't like that big bright blue. I like that

760
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 3: the yellower light. So I go like, okay, yeah.

761
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: I do too. I I kind of like that dim

762
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 1: kind of yellow, kind of the warm color toime.

763
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't want the blue. So that's what and

764
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 2: that's why it comes on.

765
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 1: There, Okay, And the real bright one that where it

766
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: looks like I'm in a doctor's office. Not great for me,

767
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: not great? You know, I need to have it dim

768
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 1: down just just a little bit.

769
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 3: Yes, I did. I ask Current, I want you to make this.

770
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 3: I wanted you to get you light at my office

771
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:16,320
Speaker 3: so I can do operations.

772
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 2: And went, oh yeah, they lit up for me. It's awesome.

773
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 3: It's right, it's really good. But you got to where

774
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 3: sunglasses if you want to be there long.

775
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:25,879
Speaker 1: Hey the color changing can lights? Is that relatively new

776
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: because it's the first I've heard of that.

777
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:31,720
Speaker 4: It is pretty new probably the last twelve to eighteen months.

778
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 4: They've really been coming on. They have color changing floods

779
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 4: and all sorts of different lights now in that system.

780
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 4: It came from lamps. So Phillips is the was probably

781
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,760
Speaker 4: the first creator of it, and it was all controlled

782
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 4: on the app. And now Phillips owns Halo Cooper as well,

783
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 4: and so they've pretty much put it all into the

784
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 4: same platform and the Halo Whiz and it's really really cool.

785
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 4: If you have soppit can lights, you can put these

786
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 4: trims in there and then you can alternate so like

787
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 4: on Brewer game Day, it can be blue, yellow, it

788
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:09,720
Speaker 4: can be yellow people Christmas time, it can be your permanent.

789
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 2: People the lights decorated.

790
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, people have houses now you drive past them, there's

791
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,439
Speaker 3: different card of lights on them all year ound that's yeah,

792
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 3: they're permanent then.

793
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 1: Right yep.

794
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 4: So our outdoor patio we did that this almost a

795
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 4: year ago now, and I put in these color changing

796
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 4: lights there just to play with and I wanted to

797
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 4: see how they work and we can alternate them so

798
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 4: that there don't hold this against me, but I'm in

799
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 4: front of Saint Louis, so they're red a lot of

800
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:35,480

Speaker 4: I did hear the last one. Though, Parker played ball

808
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 4: in Saint Louis, so it wasn't too bad from the

809
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:55,839
Speaker 4: Sherwin Williams guy.

810
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was a billickin, but he's still a cheesehead.

875
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:16,600

876
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 4: It's one of my favorite things to talk about.

877
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 1: Man, Well, let's tee it up. Man. Let if we

878
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about the the how big that's

879
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 1: gotten now, right, and and and how to select the

880
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: correct USB outlet for your house. What do you tell people?

881
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 4: So there's the USB A, which is the little square

882
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 4: type of thing that most people are familiar with when

883
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 4: you talk to USB. Then there's the USB C, which

884
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 4: all new phones have now, so it's a n C.

885
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 4: I still recommend getting a combo version where you have

886
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 4: one of each, because there's still a lot of things

887
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 4: that still run off that USBA device, but eventually that

888
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 4: will be going away. The other thing that you need

889
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 4: to talk about is power house.

890
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 2: People that have the old ones, what happens, got.

891
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:07,399
Speaker 1: To go get a new one.

892
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 4: It's you're gonna end up being uh moved to new.

893
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,359
Speaker 3: I got a whole bunch of chargers. There's a one

894
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,879
Speaker 3: that was gonna between the angles on it. Yes, yes,

895
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 3: all those kind of charges.

896
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't even know away. I've got so many

897
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:21,399
Speaker 1: in my deaths rot, I don't even know what they're

898
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: for anymore, And I just keep trying. Does that fit there?

899
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 1: Does that? When people talk to you about the outlets,

900
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 1: a single port, dual port for power port, there's a

901
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: lot of different selections for this.

902
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 4: So it's about what are you gonna do it with?

903
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 4: What are you gonna do with it? Is it gonna

904
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 4: be something where it's at a drop zone where your

905
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 4: kids are plugging their phones in, you're plugging your phone in,

906
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 4: your spouse is plugging the phone in, you're plugging tablets in.

907
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:48,240
Speaker 1: That's where I also said power.

908
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:52,879
Speaker 4: There's now USB devices that have fifty lots of power.

909
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 1: It's a true power device or block.

910
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 4: So instead of having that computer plug that has that

911
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 4: box transformer, you can now just take a USB cable

912
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 4: and plug it right into the wall and then right

913
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 4: into your computer and it has that enough power to

914
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 4: power your computer.

915
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 1: We got to get some of those.

916
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 3: Well, I'm just I'm just thinking about the drop spots.

917
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 3: I just think, okay, you mean that pile of mes

918
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 3: always got something charge.

919
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 4: That is exactly that pile of mess. They could be

920
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 4: a kitchen island, it could be every mode room.

921
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 2: You can't go past it without court hanging, and someone

922
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 2: that's plugged.

923
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:28,360
Speaker 1: In drives me, drives my wife crazy. By the way, location.

924
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 2: Selections we called the drop zone or something.

925
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just you come into my office and behind

926
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:37,840
Speaker 1: my desk. There's wires everywhere, but the location selections for

Speaker 1: USB outlets, betide tables, right entry away, councils, home office desk,

928
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 1: kitchen counters, pretty much.

929
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,320
Speaker 4: Pretty much everywhere next to the room, next to the couch.

930
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,840

957
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,400

958
00:43:58,440 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 1: of having a USB outlet?

959
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 4: Maintenance wise? I don't know that they've really been out

960
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 4: long enough to worry about it. It's just like your

961
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 4: normal receptacle. From a safety standpoint, they don't have not

962
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 4: all of them have shutters on them, some of them do,

963
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 4: but you do have to worry about sticking things in

964
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 4: just like a regular outlet. I mean there's power there,

965
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 4: so you don't want to stick a paper clip into

966
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 4: it or anything like that.

967
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, Bengo, I told you shouldn't be doing that.

968
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 2: I just like, well, you should be used like windox and.

969
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 1: I have to clean it. Hey, do you recommend people

970
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 1: use search protectors or safeguard?

971
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 4: Absolutely? And so that too. There's also surge devices. So

972
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 4: if we're using that fifty am or fifty watt power

973
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 4: device USB, we can have your electrician wire that up

974
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 4: behind a surge device so that it's protected internally as well,

975
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 4: so that you don't have to worry about actual power

976
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 4: strips or external surge protectors.

977
00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 1: Hey, with the Christmas the Griswold Smith sweater, you have

978
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 1: on overloading outlets by plugging too many high powered or

979
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 1: Christmas lights in. I would assume that when you drive

980
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,720
Speaker 1: through the neighborhood and you see people that are lighting

981
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:15,840
Speaker 1: it up like crazy, you get a little bit worried

982
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 1: what they're plugging all that into.

983
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 4: Right, it is you never know what could create a

984
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 4: spark or cause something that can cause an issue like

985
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:26,240
Speaker 4: when you look at in Griswold's all of the different

986
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 4: plugs that they have piggybacked onto each other, and how

987
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 4: they're barely hanging. Half of them are out of the receptacle,

988
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 4: like it is a mess waiting, and it's like.

989
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 3: Hand staple, a metal staple, and everywhere you know what

990
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 3: wires are getting cross somewhere somewhere for sure.

991
