But it is great to be here is it is good to be here? This is my first time actually being at Ahr so really? Ever? Yeah, not even Orlando in the past? Nope, nope, never. Um, so it's definitely an experience and I'm excited to meet all the different vendors out there and kind of network a bit and check out what's new. Yeah, so tonight you're going to be presenting an award I am at the HVAC tactical Awards Yep, yeah, I'll be presenting the Hidden Gem award. Okay, which is what I won last year actually.

TXV give it a like uh, but yeah, just it's an award to recognize uh, content creators and people who do a lot of things in the industry that might not have the mainstream following or the amount of followers. Uh, but that doesn't necessarily mean you know their quality of content or anything is any any less. So it's just a it's a nice word. Uh, recognize those people Yes.

We're gonna have a lot of different, uh, probably you know, 100 plus people in the trades and they're all going to be in dressed up in nice suits and tuxedos and what have you? So that's going to be an experience too. Alone, you know? probably the complete opposite of what we would normally be wearing every day. uh Cameron says uh to braise with nitrogen So just just making sure you know that you know maybe I don't I've always tried to light it I can never get it to light Yeah, she's never never lights.

Um, all right so tell me tell us a little bit about your channel. So um, my channel on Tick Tock I'm also on Instagram at official bad TXV okay uh, why was the other was the other bad? TXU it was actually okay. all right and uh I even tried to I believe I tried to message the guy way back when and never got back to me. So but anyways, yeah I stole my brand bro.

Yeah, exactly yeah. so yeah. Tick Tock uh at bad Zxv I do uh short one to three minute videos on anything and everything commercial, air conditioning and Supermarket Refrigeration related. So I do it all.

Most the majority vast majority of my videos are not planned. They're not staged, so it's usually service calls I'm on or just weird things that I end up finding or thinking about right then and there while I'm on a job so it's real world examples. It's good stuff though. Yeah, it's a little something for everybody.

even residential guys. So yeah, like you said that, even residential guys. Well, I'm sorry, even those low, lowly residential guys. something.

There's no beef with residential. Okay, um, no. but I do have uh, some good things you know for those who just like general knowledge about anything. Yeah, well.

all right. so this is. uh. now that I think about it, this is an opportunity for you to talk about a video that you did in collaboration with HVAC school that should be coming out here in a matter of days.

Are we going to announce it? Yeah. I Think we can announce it here. All right, that's a big announcement. Okay, yeah, we will be having a 3D video of the basic working principles of a refrigeration system Pump down refrigeration system.

So uh, nice. 3D animation of the walk-in refrigeration cycle cutaways of things Uh, pressure control, pressure controls, setting them. This is all in one video. This is a all-in-one great beginners introductions.

Probably got 200 pages of a textbook worth of information inside of this video. There's a lot. uh, and narrated by Yours Truly here. So yeah, yeah, so your first your first fully.

There's a lot of noise going on around here. Oh, it's a setup day. It's update I didn't just rip one? Yeah, this is behind the scenes. Yeah, this is yeah behind the scenes stuff.

Yeah, when I was when I was in air conditioning.

uh, that was one of my biggest things to wrap my head around. was just the differences in refrigeration because their process is completely different. So yeah, very excited for that. Yeah, really cool.
