WEBVTT - Stepping Up, Reluctantly

0:00:03.320 --> 0:00:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back to On the Job. On this episode, we're

0:00:06.559 --> 0:00:09.880
<v Speaker 1>hitting the road with Cody, a carpenter who travels from

0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:13.720
<v Speaker 1>city to city building massive sets for a touring theater show.

0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:18.720
<v Speaker 1>It's a demanding job with lots of responsibilities, and as

0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:23.040
<v Speaker 1>we'll hear today, they were responsibilities that he didn't necessarily

0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:29.720
<v Speaker 1>sign up for, so stick around. When you think of

0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:32.879
<v Speaker 1>a carpenter, you probably picture someone with a hammer and

0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:36.720
<v Speaker 1>a saw, but for our guest Cody, that image couldn't

0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:38.040
<v Speaker 1>be further from the truth.

0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:41.239
<v Speaker 2>Often when I tell people that I'm a carpenter, the

0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:43.760
<v Speaker 2>first response is how can I help them in their

0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:47.800
<v Speaker 2>home remodeling? But I think the easiest way to let

0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:50.680
<v Speaker 2>them know is that I almost don't handle a single

0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:52.760
<v Speaker 2>piece of wood the entire tour, and that tour can

0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:54.640
<v Speaker 2>last up to thirty straight weeks.

0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Now. Typically we like to use full names here to

0:00:57.560 --> 0:01:00.960
<v Speaker 1>give people their due credit, but preferred we keep it

0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:04.319
<v Speaker 1>informal because while he loves his job, it didn't come

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:07.280
<v Speaker 1>without some struggles and he wants to make sure that

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:10.920
<v Speaker 1>doesn't ruffle any of his higher ups feathers. So Cody

0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 1>it is. And for the last three years now, Cody's

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:18.080
<v Speaker 1>been living a life on the road, one arena after another,

0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:20.679
<v Speaker 1>one city blending into the next.

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:25.319
<v Speaker 2>I just celebrated City one hundred in Columbia, South Carolina.

0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:29.759
<v Speaker 2>At the completion of this contract or tour, I will

0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:32.800
<v Speaker 2>have completed one hundred and four cities in thirty months.

0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:36.919
<v Speaker 1>It's a life of constant movement. They load in, build

0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:40.360
<v Speaker 1>their structures, then the bright lights come on and people

0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:45.240
<v Speaker 1>enjoy the show. Then almost immediately after it's breakdown time.

0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Then load out and off to the next place to

0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:49.680
<v Speaker 1>do it all over again.

0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Life on the road is extremely fast forward. My production

0:01:56.120 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 2>travels as one massive unit of roughly ninety people. We

0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 2>eat together, we share the same hotel rooms, and we

0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:07.520
<v Speaker 2>work in the same arena each week in a different city.

0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:10.680
<v Speaker 2>So every week that we unpack our lives, at the

0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 2>end of the week, we know we have to pack

0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:12.920
<v Speaker 2>our lives.

0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:16.360
<v Speaker 1>For Cody, life on the road is a balancing act

0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:19.680
<v Speaker 1>between the excitement of a new city and the exhaustion

0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:21.400
<v Speaker 1>of living out of a suitcase.

0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:24.520
<v Speaker 2>And I think living life and fast forward isn't for everybody,

0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:30.480
<v Speaker 2>But I have a great mental fortitude and willingness to

0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:33.000
<v Speaker 2>engage in as many experiences as I can in a

0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:33.880
<v Speaker 2>short amount of time.

0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:37.680
<v Speaker 1>Though for all that mental fortitude, he does on occasion

0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:39.359
<v Speaker 1>lose track of where he is.

0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:42.320
<v Speaker 2>Most recently in Columbus, Ohio, I woke up and I

0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:46.240
<v Speaker 2>needed to get coffee, because caffeine is the golden liquid

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:50.320
<v Speaker 2>when you live this type of life. Well, upon return

0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:53.080
<v Speaker 2>from getting coffee, I went back in the hotel and

0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:55.360
<v Speaker 2>I went up to my hotel room. My key didn't work,

0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.919
<v Speaker 2>which is the ultimate kick in the shorts when you're

0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:01.760
<v Speaker 2>so tired. So I went back down to the front

0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:05.120
<v Speaker 2>desk and I said, Hey, my key isn't working in

0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:08.480
<v Speaker 2>my room. The guy said, that makes sense, You're in

0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:13.240
<v Speaker 2>the wrong hotel. And I had walked into the wrong

0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:17.480
<v Speaker 2>hotel out of delirious overnight travel. So yes, I often

0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:19.160
<v Speaker 2>forget where I am.

0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Before signing up for this rambling existence, Cody was living

0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:26.720
<v Speaker 1>a very different kind of life, rooted in community.

0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 2>Prior to this, I was an athletic and program coordinator

0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:32.480
<v Speaker 2>for Clear Creek County and the High Rockies in Colorado,

0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:33.400
<v Speaker 2>west of Denver.

0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Cody loved being part of a small community and that's

0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:39.440
<v Speaker 1>part of the reason he went above and beyond at

0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:42.400
<v Speaker 1>his coordinator job to keep things running smoothly.

0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:46.600
<v Speaker 2>The next thing you know, the volleyball team is missing

0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:50.120
<v Speaker 2>a player. Okay, let's get in the company truck and

0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:53.000
<v Speaker 2>go pick timmy up. Oh and guess what, it's game time?

0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Where's the referees? Oh? Wait, Cody, throw on the pinstripes

0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:59.320
<v Speaker 2>because you're doing that too. Well, wait a second, who's

0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:01.760
<v Speaker 2>going to pick up the chairs? After all the fans leave?

0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:03.560
<v Speaker 2>The dad set them up, but they're not going to

0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:06.400
<v Speaker 2>stay after their kids finished, and things start to stack,

0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:08.600
<v Speaker 2>and they start to stack, and you're always going to

0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:11.120
<v Speaker 2>put that community first when you have my personality and

0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:14.320
<v Speaker 2>my character traits. And slowly, that forty hour work week

0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:17.160
<v Speaker 2>during the sports season would grow to fifty to sixty

0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:18.479
<v Speaker 2>to seventy hours.

0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:21.279
<v Speaker 1>But despite all his efforts and the extra time he

0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 1>put into the job, being a small town athletics coordinator

0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:28.600
<v Speaker 1>wasn't the road to riches. In fact, it barely kept

0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Cody fed.

0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:31.719
<v Speaker 2>It got to the point where I had the local

0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:36.159
<v Speaker 2>market texting me when the meats were being put in

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.840
<v Speaker 2>the freezer and would be sold at half price. Because

0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:41.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm also a competitive strength athlete as well, so that

0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:44.600
<v Speaker 2>takes a part of my finances each and every week

0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:47.280
<v Speaker 2>as I try to achieve something bigger in that world.

0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:53.200
<v Speaker 2>So my life looked like the gym work and outreach

0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:56.440
<v Speaker 2>with the community, and I do very much so enjoy that.

0:04:56.520 --> 0:05:00.479
<v Speaker 2>But I also know that you take a financial loss

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.000
<v Speaker 2>when you choose to help your community, and that's a

0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:04.400
<v Speaker 2>very sad fact.

0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:08.200
<v Speaker 1>That ceaseless struggle just to get by started to wear

0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:11.400
<v Speaker 1>Cody down. As much as he enjoyed being such an

0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:14.520
<v Speaker 1>integral member of a small community, it was coming at

0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:15.479
<v Speaker 1>his own expense.

0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:19.479
<v Speaker 2>For the first time in my life, I think I

0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:22.919
<v Speaker 2>honestly told myself that you need to take the leap

0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:26.920
<v Speaker 2>for your financial future, and you need to sacrifice what

0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:30.120
<v Speaker 2>you love, which is a sense of community and meaning,

0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:32.760
<v Speaker 2>and you need to put that to the side for

0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:36.800
<v Speaker 2>an extended period of time to have a better future.

0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.200
<v Speaker 1>So when his girlfriend, who was a traveling performer, said

0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:42.080
<v Speaker 1>she could get him a job on the next tour

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:46.039
<v Speaker 1>with her, Cody realized the time for that sacrifice had come.

0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:48.400
<v Speaker 2>The quick, skinny, and the easiest way to say it

0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:51.560
<v Speaker 2>is a nice old dose of nepotism, if we're being honest,

0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:55.800
<v Speaker 2>she pulled some strings. My interview lasted five minutes and

0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:59.440
<v Speaker 2>thirty four seconds and I was expected to report to

0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:03.800
<v Speaker 2>the student in Florida almost immediately upon being hired.

0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:07.360
<v Speaker 1>That began Cody's new life on the road, going from

0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:12.120
<v Speaker 1>city to city helping the lead carpenter build these massive structures.

0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:16.040
<v Speaker 2>My particular production is held up by chain hoist motors

0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:19.360
<v Speaker 2>which have one ton and two ton capacity, and essentially

0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:22.719
<v Speaker 2>all my production or my set pieces are steel and

0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:26.159
<v Speaker 2>has multiple curtains hanging from it. So picture of the

0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:29.159
<v Speaker 2>big curtains that you'd see on a stage show or

0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:31.279
<v Speaker 2>a Broadway or if you've ever been to a local

0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:34.400
<v Speaker 2>production that curtains. Just times it by about twelve and

0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 2>that would be what you're looking at.

0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:39.400
<v Speaker 1>And that's how it went for a while, learning on

0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:43.080
<v Speaker 1>the job, occasionally asking the lead carpenter for help when

0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:47.520
<v Speaker 1>he encountered a problem, but incrementally gaining confidence in his

0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:50.800
<v Speaker 1>ability to do the job. But that said, he would

0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:53.520
<v Speaker 1>by no means call himself a master of his trade.

0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:57.839
<v Speaker 1>To reach that level, he knew took years of understudy

0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:00.680
<v Speaker 1>or an unexpected tragedy.

0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:05.200
<v Speaker 2>In my case, I watched my boss fall from about

0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:08.719
<v Speaker 2>four feet off the ground and his leg snapped and

0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:12.040
<v Speaker 2>it looked like gumby, and I knew immediately it was

0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:13.480
<v Speaker 2>most likely a broken leg.

0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:18.040
<v Speaker 1>Coming up after the break, Cody rises to the challenge,

0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:19.720
<v Speaker 1>whether he wants to or not.

0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:25.080
<v Speaker 3>Looking for a job is lonely, endless searching, phone calls

0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:29.200
<v Speaker 3>that go nowhere, applications that vanish into thin air. What

0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:55.920
<v Speaker 1>We're back with Cody, who was working as an assistant

0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:59.640
<v Speaker 1>carpenter for a nationally touring theater company until the guy

0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:02.800
<v Speaker 1>had him. The lead carpenter broke his leg on the

0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:05.920
<v Speaker 1>job and was sidelined for the foreseeable future.

0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:08.800
<v Speaker 2>Twenty minutes later, the expectation was that I brought the

0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:14.400
<v Speaker 2>show to Fruition and take over his responsibility with only

0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:16.600
<v Speaker 2>six months experience under my belt.

0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Miraculously, Cody managed to get everything done in time for

0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:23.200
<v Speaker 1>the show to start, and when the bright lights flashed

0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:26.360
<v Speaker 1>on and the show began, only then could he breathe

0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:29.720
<v Speaker 1>a sigh of relief. But his relief was short lived,

0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:32.480
<v Speaker 1>because soon after he was called into the office.

0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:35.559
<v Speaker 2>I went in, They sat me down, They said, you're

0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:39.280
<v Speaker 2>now the head carpenter. This is your pay increase and

0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:42.280
<v Speaker 2>moving forward, do the best you can, but we don't

0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:44.760
<v Speaker 2>have anybody to assist you for the near future.

0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:48.400
<v Speaker 1>When Cody recalls that meeting, he says, it wasn't much

0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:49.359
<v Speaker 1>of a conversation.

0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:53.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how much asking was involved in that meeting. However,

0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:57.480
<v Speaker 2>I do very much so respect and like the two

0:08:57.559 --> 0:08:59.880
<v Speaker 2>people in charge that called me in for that meeting,

0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:03.360
<v Speaker 2>But I certainly don't think no could have been the answer.

0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:08.559
<v Speaker 1>In those early days, Cody was overwhelmed by the responsibilities

0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:11.959
<v Speaker 1>that had been thrust upon him, and rightly so.

0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:16.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm responsible for hanging upwards of eleven thousand pounds over

0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:19.360
<v Speaker 2>audience members as well as sixty of our performers heads,

0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:22.640
<v Speaker 2>and no one prepared me. I am self taught almost

0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:23.200
<v Speaker 2>to the core.

0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:27.320
<v Speaker 1>On nights before a show, Cody often found himself staring

0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:30.559
<v Speaker 1>at his hotel ceiling, worrying about the work that awaited

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:31.360
<v Speaker 1>him in the morning.

0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:35.040
<v Speaker 2>As I just get nervous about the safety and I

0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:37.600
<v Speaker 2>care about what we're putting up for a production, and

0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:40.280
<v Speaker 2>when all of that encircles in my head. At night,

0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:41.040
<v Speaker 2>you can loose some.

0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:45.200
<v Speaker 1>Sleep, and unlike a typical job where you can close

0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:48.319
<v Speaker 1>your laptop and drive home to decompress, being on the

0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:51.920
<v Speaker 1>road meant Cody could never really escape that stress. It

0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:55.000
<v Speaker 1>was an endless cycle, with no pause to catch his breath,

0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:57.920
<v Speaker 1>no physical distance to let the weight of the job

0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:01.040
<v Speaker 1>slip off his shoulders. And on top of all that,

0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:04.480
<v Speaker 1>he was barely making any more money than he was before.

0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:08.960
<v Speaker 2>If we're talking financial gain from taking on, it is

0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:12.079
<v Speaker 2>so minimal. I'm not going to say out loud how

0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:14.960
<v Speaker 2>much it is, but if I did, it's laughable.

0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:18.680
<v Speaker 1>Cody says. That's why some people in his line of

0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:21.360
<v Speaker 1>work are perfectly happy to stay in a supporting role

0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:25.000
<v Speaker 1>instead of stepping up to the lead. The negligible increase

0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:28.800
<v Speaker 1>in pay is not worth the leap and responsibility, and

0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:31.760
<v Speaker 1>it turns out that reluctance to rise to a higher

0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:36.200
<v Speaker 1>position is a growing trend throughout the country. Business Insider

0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:40.360
<v Speaker 1>recently reported that nearly half of all Americans would decline

0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:44.360
<v Speaker 1>a promotion if offered. For many workers, the promise of

0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:47.839
<v Speaker 1>a bigger paycheck doesn't always outweigh the cost to their

0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:51.960
<v Speaker 1>mental health and work life balance. Remember all the talk

0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:55.720
<v Speaker 1>of the great resignation during the pandemic, maybe this is

0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:59.480
<v Speaker 1>something like the national Nah, I'm good. And even though

0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Cody did go down that route, he totally gets those

0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:03.040
<v Speaker 1>that do.

0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:07.840
<v Speaker 2>I think that if you can put your personal life

0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:10.240
<v Speaker 2>above your work to a certain extent, that's not a

0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:13.400
<v Speaker 2>bad move, and I don't think that makes you any

0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:16.160
<v Speaker 2>less of a good employee.

0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:19.280
<v Speaker 1>But for Cody, even though he didn't feel like he

0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:22.080
<v Speaker 1>had much of an option to decline taking that position,

0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:25.920
<v Speaker 1>he acknowledges that he probably would have said yes anyway,

0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.280
<v Speaker 1>for better or worse. He's a type of person that

0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:30.240
<v Speaker 1>goes all in.

0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:36.080
<v Speaker 2>I would say yes again with parameters of seeking some

0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:41.560
<v Speaker 2>higher knowledge and having more support, because when it starts

0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:45.800
<v Speaker 2>to roll, that snowball is going downhill. There's no plateau

0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:49.040
<v Speaker 2>and there's no up. It's only down until it's over.

0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:52.880
<v Speaker 1>To his credit, though, Cody has managed to keep that

0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:56.440
<v Speaker 1>snowball rolling about as smoothly as anyone with only six

0:11:56.480 --> 0:12:01.280
<v Speaker 1>months of experience could. And when that initial run, Cody

0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:04.200
<v Speaker 1>signed himself up for the next tour around the country

0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:06.160
<v Speaker 1>as its head carpenter.

0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:11.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm coming up on my one thousandth show, and I

0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:15.800
<v Speaker 2>have seen our production. Once you just wear black and

0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:19.120
<v Speaker 2>you stay in the shadows, and to not be seen

0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:21.120
<v Speaker 2>is to be seen.

0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:24.760
<v Speaker 1>But just because he's not sitting in the audience doesn't

0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:28.000
<v Speaker 1>mean Cody isn't taking pride in the fruits of his labor.

0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:31.920
<v Speaker 2>I feel a great joy for the performer that has

0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:36.800
<v Speaker 2>put forth up multiple decades of their life to train

0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:41.080
<v Speaker 2>and to possibly play a character that they've always dreamed of.

0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:44.640
<v Speaker 2>And when they get a loud applause and they hear

0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:47.920
<v Speaker 2>that all their hard work has come to fruition and

0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:52.079
<v Speaker 2>the crowd has enjoyed their performance, that brings me great joy.

0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Cody knows that this road life can't go on forever,

0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:58.040
<v Speaker 1>and he looks forward to the day he can set

0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:00.920
<v Speaker 1>down roots somewhere and once again be a part of

0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:05.520
<v Speaker 1>a community, maybe back in that small Colorado town. But

0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.720
<v Speaker 1>for now, as the saying goes, in Cody's line of work,

0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:13.200
<v Speaker 1>the show must go on. For on the job, I'm

0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Avery Thompson.
