Foreign, ah, it's time to chill out and get ready for a mediocre q, a live stream if you're old enough grab yourself your favorite adult beverage and if you're not stick with apple juice, put your feet up and relax. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the chat and now, let's queue up the intro music yo. What is up everybody? How are you all doing so? I've got my wife jill sitting here today, hi and um. We're going to ask her a few questions about a few things, and you know you guys can ask questions in the chat too um.

Obviously i got stuff. I want to cover a couple questions. I actually got a few new emails. I get usually one a month or something like that, but this time i got a couple this month.

People ask me: you know, just in general what my story is, so i'm gon na cover that real quick. I know a lot of you guys have heard everything, but we have new viewers coming into the channel. Ironically, a lot of the new viewers, actually um came from youtube started. Having me do youtube shorts and they were asking me to do youtube short.

So i've done a few and it's a little weird, because i'm not i'm not into this whole social media thing. It's a little weird to me, some of the stuff but anyways. I tried the youtube shorts and i have some that just exploded like insane numbers. I think i have a youtube short that has more views than any one of my videos right now.

It's really weird, but it brought a lot of like negative traffic to the channel too, in a weird way like there's some good stuff, but then it brought. You know i brought a lot of subscribers um, but it brought a lot of negative stuff. It's like because people don't understand what the channel channel's about. So the video that has the most views is the one where i was pretending or i said, like the walking door got stuck and you know i had to pull the plastic off or whatever and - and i i kid you not the most common question on that Video is why would the customer go in the walk-in cooler and it's like well at first, i'm like what are these people thinking, but then i realized for the common person that doesn't know my customer is the restaurant owner.

Okay, i guess i get that question, but it's kind of silly, where everybody's whining about it and stuff, but anyways um, so uh. Basically, i'm an hvacr service technician. I started working for my father when i was a little kid um long before i met jill. I was working for my dad from like junior high on i mean even in elementary school i'd, go to work with him.

My parents were split up. My dad would pick me up from my mom's house and take me home and then we'd run calls on the way home but started working for him. Ironically, i told him - i i don't know if i've ever told you this, but i told him that i never wanted to do this. Like i hated this, i absolutely hated working because all he would ever have me do during the summer time is.

I would work on the roof when it was really hot and i would change air conditioning filters and change, swamp, cooler, pads and adjust belts on exhaust fans. So all i ever knew of this was or majority of what i knew was just working in the hot summer, and it just wasn't my thing so um went into high school uh went to work for a body shop during high school, worked for a body shop. Working on cars, auto collision for like two years and then just realized that wasn't my thing - uh came to work full-time in 2002. For my dad and then uh here we are now we run the company together um.

He doesn't work anymore, he's just in the office. Administrative kind of stuff, and in that midst i had met jill uh. We actually met in high school yeah. I know yeah, i was uh yeah.

I was working at the body shop when she met me, that's right and then uh. That is right. So you knew when i officially so the in that, like i remember you saying i think i'm gon na go to work for my dad or yeah. I don't know yeah um uh, but it uh it's.

It's definitely interesting because you have only ever known this so perspective. I get emails all the time from other people and they're saying hey, you know um, you know what advice do you have for you know he wants to get into the trade and his wife knows nothing about it or or that kind of stuff and uh. It's an interesting dynamic because this is all you've ever known. Is me working in the trade time too, like our schedules just kind of like i don't know, our schedules have always just kind of like matched up for it.

If that's like the right way to say it like, because i was working nights yeah, you were always working like you still are, so it was just like you know we just always catch each other. When we can yeah, that's right, so i mean you know when we were younger before we had kids, i mean we saw each other for a glimpse at night time right when we, when we lived in our apartment like we would basically you would go to work. She was a waitress, you would go to school during the day and then go to work. I was working like a preschool and then i was going to school and then i'd work, restaurants at night yeah.

We were both busy, so just kind of it's it's. It's definitely interesting, so you know that that's my story. Essentially, i started making these videos as a training aid for my employees. It turned into something - and here we are - i don't know 20, it was november of 2017..

So what is that? 18. 19. 20. 21.

22.. We're going on five years this year on youtube, that's crazy! Five years, that's nuts, um and i'd say like your youtube stuff worked out too, because you would work on it. When i was going to work, that's how it started, yeah, definitely how it started yeah. Now i'm home more, so i guess i see it a little bit more with like how much time it takes for you, yeah like in the last couple years.

I've noticed yeah, more and more yeah and and uh we're definitely playing with some things here. Right now, yeah we're working on the microphone stuff. Yeah you got ta, you got ta eat the mic. I am not used to all this yeah.

These headphones, throw me off the microphones. It's a work in progress right. It makes it look all easy, like most things, yeah um. I can hear it i'm over here like subtly trying to move the mic closer to her closer to her closer cause.

I could hear it you're good um, so anyways, you know. I started these videos as a training aid and then uh. It just turned into something i never planned on it, and i kind of i have that on my list of things to talk about right now at this point right now at where i am almost five years into youtube, how do you feel from where it started Till now i mean be honest, am i am i too distant from you because of it i mean obviously, there's benefits from it too yeah. Well, i think at times like it's a lot more and then sometimes it's i don't know a lot less and then i don't usually tell you yeah.

So we talk about it and then you're like okay, i'll try to scale back like a lot of the times. With the comments and all that, like answering, it's a lot you're on your phone, a lot if you're not in your office yeah, so we've we've talked to that and you've that's kind of moving around yeah, see we're working through this um. Now. Do you think, obviously, since uh, since the youtube thing really took off um before that jill had been asking me, you know if uh not asking we'd been discussing on whether or not you were gon na quit your job? Now this was before youtube or anything like that, and the reason why wasn't? Because she wanted to spend time doing whatever it was, because our kids schedules are insane.

So we have two teenage daughters and i was still working nights and i'd get home at one in the morning and i'd get up for my day at six a.m, so yeah and do all the things during the day and then go to work at night. It was just kind of rare. I know a lot of people do that, but it's exhausting yeah. So so you know we were kind of discussing it and then covet happened and it just kind of she got laid off anyways from her job, and so it just kind of never went back essentially yeah.

Well, you guys all got used to me being home. You guys all chimed in too. Yes, we appreciated it for sure, because it's awesome and uh you know for so many years she had worked and it was difficult because i mean that affects your relationship. It affects the kids and everything it's interesting, because there's things that we still like recently, we were talking about something with the kids and and we're like.

Oh yeah, you remember when we went and did this i was talking to my daughters and my wife was like uh. I don't remember that and then my daughter was like yeah cause. You are at work and it's like. Oh yeah.

I forgot about that. You know yeah, but we do a lot without you yeah it it's. So you know it's just just one of those things, so it's either both of us we're gone now. It's just one yeah and, and - and i like it having her home now, because it definitely um helps the channel hold on i'm turning something: that's what it is guys.

I fixed it sorry about the audio. No, i had the noise gate on so whenever she stopped talking, it would mute her mic so that solved the problem. So now i fixed it. I remember i turned that on once before um all right, so with uh the the the videos.

Obviously, my time really started to get busy because i work a full-time job. I run a business right and then the videos just turned into this thing and it starts turning into emails and questions and everything and at first with the emails and the questions - and i imagine you guys - can all relate this to normal work. Stuff, too, because it's the fact that i'm hyper obsessed with what i do, whatever i'm doing, i'm super hyper focused. Would you say that's fair? Yes, i'm sorry, my dog is currently standing right here, trying to chase his tail um.

So he's a good distraction. Yes, he's been a very good distraction, that's kind of annoying right now in the midst of all this yeah. So the comments, the questions all that stuff, it just started getting crazy, and so that was the whole start of these live streams. That's why i started him was to consolidate the questions um before we go any further.

I do want to get into a few things here, quick um, so i'm addressing some questions that some people had asked me. I already answered that one. I'm going. I've got a list in front of me as usual, guys, i'm not very like fluid with this.

It doesn't go super smooth when i'm going through this half the time. Lately. I did want to discuss this. This is something new that i kind of found, and i don't know if you realized how bad this is going to get or not, but i found ebay.

Okay, i mean obviously i've known what ebay was for years right and i used to use it many many years ago. Honestly, i thought ebay was done, but it's a thing and it's awesome right now so old hvac tools, just i probably shouldn't be telling you guys this because you're probably gon na steal all my cool tools, but google vintage hvac tools, uh, look it up on ebay Or wherever you're gon na purchase stuff from - and there is so much amazing stuff, so yeah grab them before he does exactly save us some money so um. I actually just bought this simpson. It's a vintage simpson.

470 has to be one of the first digital meters. If not really early has to be, but this thing is pretty awesome. I picked it up from ebay for 20 bucks, there's one on there for 400 bucks that one might still work. I don't know if this one works or not, but for 20 bucks.

How could i not pass that one up i just had to do it and then i've got some other stuff. Coming too, i found some really cool stuff on ebay, so that is something that i've been having a lot of fun with lately and it started because my buddy chris eads uh, i shouldn't say buddy but acquaintance chris eads with uh ac ezt. I talked about it. I think in the last video and on overtime, it was a gentleman that i met at the hvacr training symposium in florida, uh, brian orr's event and uh.

He had given me some vintage tools and uh. I think i'm sure i've shown this before this is one of my favorite ones right now yeah. This is one of my favorite ones right now, and this is a uh robin air leak detector from the 70s that he had given me, but anyways that kind of started it off and then it's just been going and i have some of my dad's stuff up There and have some stuff behind me, but it's been pretty cool and i'm really digging that right now, all right, so um yeah ebay, spending spree, that's right, but 20 bucks at a pop is no big deal right, um, so uh all right cross that one off I'm gon na get to the questions in the live chat as usual guys uh. I see people in the chat.

If you guys have questions or comments or things you want me to cover, put them in caps lock that helps me to see. What's going on, there uh philip duty says: you're an hvac guy being thrown into refrigeration any advice, uh, phillip, your company is doing you a disservice. If you don't understand refrigeration and the controls so be cautious about people just throwing you into things, maybe you're. Just being you know, exaggerating but uh refrigeration in general, it's it's not a horrible thing.

It depends on what type right you should never just be thrown into rack, refrigeration or industrial refrigeration, but light commercial like i do multiplex systems five horsepower and under compressors it's more or less just a change in temperature. The concepts are still the same. If you understand the electrical side of things, you'll be just fine, okay, just more safety controls and stuff, and it's not a big deal. I do want to address.

In my last video i had talked about uh um, one of the staff of the restaurant. When i had gone downstairs, it was actually the teaser on my video. When i went downstairs, he was telling me how he defrosted the coil. While i was working on it on the roof, okay, um and in the video.

I i expressed some frustration and even in the closing words i talked about it so jill. I don't you probably didn't hear this, but in my last video i was working at a restaurant um and when i went downstairs one of the staff had told me that he noticed the thing that i was working on was all frozen up, so he took it Upon himself to go ahead and melt all that ice, while i was working on it with a water hose - and i told him i go, you know that was very dangerous of you, because there was electricity running through that he goes well. He goes. I only did it because i've seen you do it and i go okay, but i'm a technician.

You're, not you know, like. I think you probably heard this yeah and then somebody and then um. You know he could have been electrocuted is the thing you know because it wasn't off. I was working on it doing things to it so um i i did get some feedback in my videos that maybe i was too hard on him.

No, i absolutely was not. I'm not gon na stand back. I was very very frustrated because it's actions like that from people that don't understand or are completely ignorant of things that can severely hurt people and cause issues, and i don't want that on my conscience. It wouldn't have been my fault, but still like, no, that that wasn't cool and uh.

When i expressed the what happened to management too, they were they about lost their stuff. Okay, because that particular person, you know he should know better he's a competent person, but one thing i will say is the particular place that i was working at without reviewing any details. Okay - and i, if i, if you haven't, heard this before the only comments, absolutely guaranteed - that will get deleted in my youtube comments - is guesses as to the restaurants that i'm working at okay, so anyways, i'm not gon na reveal the restaurant, but this particular restaurant. They they're big um on their brewery, okay, and they basically have staff that is there just for the brewery and that particular person was part of that staff and just he knows better than that so anyways.

But it's stuff like that that we have to watch out for because you never know what people are watching right when you're working in a restaurant, you know be cautious about what you show kitchen staff. Obviously, if they're standing there watching, you there's not much, you can do about it, but you know: don't instruct people be very cautious unless it's a manager because managers it's their business. You have to do what they ask, because you're working for them right management, if they want to know what's going on, then i'm going to show them, but i do not ever show kitchen staff and if management advises me to show kitchen staff, i usually try to Talk the management out of it because you don't want kitchen staff thinking that it's okay to go and turn on things right, and i'm going to give you an example working on a beer, walk-in cooler and i get there and has a bad compressor. So i spend you know 11 hours, eight hours, whatever it is in the middle of the night, changing a compressor.

So you get it all done. You turn it on and if you don't know after a beer walk-ins been down for eight hours, it's gon na take a long time to come down to temperature. So i'm not really gon na hang around for four hours right. I'm gon na check the system, vitals make sure it's operating good and then i'm probably going to bounce and then tell the customer.

Hey i'll, come back out and follow up well, i've had kitchen staff that was instructed to watch me. Do things go in and turn the temperature controller on the beer walk in before i went to go work on it, thinking that was going to solve the problem? Now? Yes, it's my fault for not checking, but it's things like that that lead to headaches, because i had already bounced right - and you know the next day - they're like it's still maintaining 45 degrees and it's like oh and then i go out there in the temp control And then i talk to them and they're like oh yeah, we had adjusted it trying to fix it. It's like don't do that. You know things like that, so you need to be careful, showing people how to do things or letting them see you how to you know how to do things it within your control, um, because that can just lead to nuisance problems right and yes, there's faults on My side for not catching that before i left too, but that stuff kind of happens so um, so obviously people just tuning in right now don't know.

What's going on. I have my wife jill on here. My wife is actually on social media. You can find her on instagram and she does a little bit on facebook um under the uh name at hvac, our wife, that one's a little quieter over there, the facebook one yeah yeah a little bit more on instagram a little bit.

So one of the things that we wanted to try to do, if you guys haven't already uh jill - and i have done a video series, called how we live the hvac, our life. We did five or six videos and actually what you guys don't know is we recorded another one, but i never posted it yeah we well, we had to go through and edit and i wasn't super confident about it and then i kind of like to re-do it And then it's just finding the time with us, it's difficult at this time, like usually i'm gone right now. So, even though you're doing your live stream, i'm not home, i take the um kids too, their practice and yeah. So, even though she doesn't work anymore, she's super busy for those of you, you guys probably already know this, but we have two teenage kids.

I'm sure you guys go through all that too, that are active in sports and high school and learning how to drive and all this stuff. And it's it's time consuming, right and and there's times that. I forget that too, and i'm sure you've realized that and there's times that i may vent frustrations because i'm a dodo head right and i say i'm frustrated because you know this isn't what i want for dinner or whatever and i'm not being rude, but we're just Having a discussion about it - and you know, there's um, i'm human, i'm i'm not perfect, i'm not some machine, some robot that just comes on here and it is this perfect person right. We do have problems.

You know you usually listen to me and so then the problems don't exist anymore, once you listen but but for real i mean you know, we have problems, we have disagreements and issues. We are real and that's something that i want people to understand. I realized in the beginning of my channel when i started posting these videos. I almost felt like an imposter syndrome and i felt fake because i would fi.

I would feel the need to edit out my mistakes and i realized quickly that i wasn't going to do that anymore and it's made me feel so much more happy right. I feel so much better about the videos, because i keep my mistakes in there now. I address my mistakes, but the fact that i'm trying to get across to everybody is i'm not some perfect instagram person that only posts, the perfect pictures right and there's nothing against the guys on instagram. I know a lot of them they're great guys, but i'm just trying to make a point.

You know instagram doesn't give you the ability to see people's flaws unless they're blatantly posting those flaws. Okay, for the most part, people post happy moments on instagram, well, yeah, social media in general, social media in general, and i feel like we all need to show a little bit of real. I get criticism right and it's cool to each their own right. I got criticism recently.

I got two emails from people that said uh. They can't watch my channel anymore. They love my videos, but they can't watch my channel because i curse too much. I i was kind of confused by that one too, because i don't really curse on this channel.

I keep it really clean now, ironically, i really wanted to send that person an email back with the overtime show like hey. I think you should watch this because this is a little bit safer for you, because the overtime show, if you guys don't know, we started a jar over here for chris yeah just kidding, so we get to go on vacation now. What is it my daughter? One time because i was on the overtime show, the hvac overtime show youtube friday evenings uh 605 pm pacific. With my buddies, we do a live.

Show. It's like four guys hanging out at the bar. That's exactly what it is and we're just having a good time, but my daughter one day, she's like dad, you keep saying bad words really loud. She's, like my friends, are on the other end of the cause she's talking on her computer to someone at the time or something you know yeah, but the overtime shows something totally different.

So that made me laugh, but you know i'm human and i'm not gon na change. Like that's that's who i am you know. I try to keep this channel kind of clean because i know a lot of people, but i i'm still blown away what he thought. I cursed about on this channel because that's not even it um but yeah it just kind of dumbfounds me.

I do know he shares that all the time yes jesus. She knows that and he's still, i catch him still taking pictures, i'm like dude. What is this? Can you stop poor guy yeah? I know um, oh gosh yeah. I wanted to send him over to overtime so uh for those that are just coming in my wife jill here.

So now, um, i'm looking through the chat right now - and this is hilarious. Oh man, jesus you, cracked me up so uh jesus tapia, his name on the overtime show, is jesus fish. Oh, can you tell me who came up with that name? Who yeah, who do you think came up with the name? Jesus fish for jesus? Oh, it would have been bill. Does that surprise, you not really yeah bill has the sense of humor.

That is ridiculous, so um i do want to let you guys know too. Okay to everybody. That's watching um, if you guys have stuff that you want to talk to me about if you have questions, feel free to send me an email to hvacr videos, gmail.com okay, but i'm gon na preface that if i miss your comments or questions in this chat feel Free to send them over okay, but i'm gon na preface that with understand something i can't get to everybody's emails. I try i try, but i also have a family that i need to pay attention to and did you want to say something yeah and, and you know i can't all the time and i'm going to tell you something right now.

I don't mean to be offensive to anybody. Okay, but if you send me an email that says you want to talk on the phone, it's just not gon na happen. Okay, i have a weird quirk i was trying to. I said that as a singular, i have a weird quirk.

I have multiple quarks, okay, plural, um and i'm sure she's got all kinds of stuff, but um quirks or things to say about your quirks. I'm just kidding you could say whatever you want things to say about my quirks now but um i i just. I don't like to call random people on the phone. It's just not my thing.

Okay, so if you want to have a conversation with me, we can try to talk through email, maybe through a a private message on facebook or instagram. You know slide into the dms okay, but um bill said that on the overtime show the other day, he was like i'm gon na slide into this dude's dms like one of the people he wanted to have on the show, and it cracked me up, because that Has a total different meaning but um sorry, i distract myself and go off on weird tangents, but yeah. Send me an email i'll, try to help you out, but just understand that i'm a busy person and - and i can only get to so much okay. So i don't mean to offend if i'm not answering them right away.

Um, let's see uh real, quick couple things i want to cover. As usual. In my last video i misspoke and yes, i did mean to say that the fan cycle switches for all those compressors are wired in parallel. I said series enough people emailed me that i felt the need to have to address this.

I missed a misspeak or incorrectly talk about things like that all the time. Oh another thing that i wanted to address. That kind of surprised me was about a year no about two years ago at the previous ahr expo, not this one but the previous one. I ran into a teacher that uh said you know he walked up to me and he goes uh.

You know your videos, you know he had a student with him and his student was like. Oh, it's really cool to meet you and then the teacher was like yeah. You know, um, your videos are pretty good. You know uh, you know, there's there's some things that i don't like about them, but they're pretty good and it's like okay and i'm like all right cool.

I said, would you mind, like i said, you're not gon na offend me, but like would you mind telling me what those problems about my videos are and and his issues with my videos were that i make too many mistakes and you know and that i'm showing Those mistakes - and that was a legit problem that he had with me because he thought that, because i'm a public figure, i should be perfect right and here's the interesting thing like first off these videos are actually not meant to be educational. Like i get that there's some educational stuff in them, these videos were, you know for my employees and then they kind of morphed into an excuse for me to continue talking to myself, like that's, really what they are and um i mean. Obviously, i know that there's some educational value, but at the same time i think it's wrong to edit out your mistakes and i feel like we all need to understand that we're real you know like i was talking about a few minutes ago. We can't always be perfect and we need to be able to to um.

Let other people know that yeah we make mistakes, but it's so important to learn from those mistakes that that's the most important thing is how you grow from your mistakes and someone just posted on social media. I'm trying to remember who it was because i showed it to you too, and it said something i'm paraphrasing the thing, but it said uh, you know it's really expensive to make mistakes. Wait. What was it? I know.

I showed it to you. It said it's. It's uh, it's really expensive, it was. It was paraphrasing saying something along the lines of it's better to learn from other people's mistakes.

I can't remember the quote, but it was a very interesting one. People learn from your mistakes that way like if they go into something and they would have gone and done it that way they would be like. Oh wait. No, this isn't right.

Yeah yeah, that you know. You know the interesting thing that you guys don't know, and i think i might have put it in videos one time maybe two times like jokingly around, but i have a lot of crutch words uh that i use so whenever i'm recording youtube videos right, i have A bunch of clips on my phone from when i'm recording, like i turn it on talk for 10 seconds turn it off do some stuff and then keep doing that and every time i start a clip for some reason. I have like three or four crutch words: okay, so um yeah, okay and so are the two biggest ones so i have to edit those out. But i'm noticing that this is this dynamic of you being next to me, i'm having a hard time because i'm i'm like when you get done talking, i'm like all right.

You know like i, i i'm like leave me nothing yeah, i'm i'm confused like i'm. Just confused that someone's sitting next to me, you are throwing me off definitely thrown off too my normal thing, uh all right. So i already answered this one um i'll get to the chat here in just a second we'll hit some more questions up um in uh. Recent video two, i was pumping oil into a compressor and a gentleman named aung.

I don't know if i butchered your name and i apologize. I was pumping oil into the compressor because it was low on oil. Actually, i don't think i've. No.

I made that video yeah anyways. I was adding oil to a compressor and, as i was pumping the oil, he was curious. How come the oil didn't come out? My refrigerant hose as i was pumping the oil, and that is actually a good question. There's ball valves in the oil pump, so it basically means that i have to overcome the system pressure to push the oil into it and when i stop the system, pressure closes the ball valve.

So that's the simple answer to that: one: okay, um all right uh! If anybody's wondering i'm used to this, like hvac talk, i just nod: we recently went out to dinner with uh ty brannaman and his wife, perla um and ty had messaged me before we were gon na go out to dinner. It was actually a live stream. A couple months back: that's why i missed the live stream by the way, but um you couldn't pass up an opportunity to have a dinner with an awesome person like ty breiman right. So we went out to dinner and uh ty had told me before he goes hey.

He goes but uh. Let's try to keep the hvac talk down to a minimum and i'm like all right yeah. We could do that. That way, our wives aren't bored.

Do you think we kept it down to a minimum? I mean it was minimalish, but we weren't bored. We were talking about hbc the whole time, i'm pretty used to it. Even when you get together with your dad. You guys talk work, and i imagine too, though, that for perla cause, perla and tai have only been together for a few years, so this is new to her too.

So you know, like you, grew up with this. You know that like whenever we go places is, and that's a question too like i don't sometimes i'm not in the moment or maybe i am too in the moment but like when my dad and i are together, do we talk about work a lot or do We do we do yeah, i don't even know you know it just kind of comes across because i just talk, you know, but all right, let's see what else we got going on in the chat uh. Do i think walk-in, freezers or coolers are harder to work on or is acu and it's hard to work on micah um i mean that they all kind of use the same concepts, but i mean to to be honest: split system, air conditioners and walk-in. Freezers are probably the most difficult to work on of those two package unit.

Air conditioners and walk-in. Coolers are probably easier, but really it's not that difficult. It just adds more electrical complex complexities and then with split systems. It adds more piping complexities and um airflow.

I mean airflow is all the way around, but yeah that's my answer to that. One uh, let's see what else we got going on here, the picture of that bill. Oh yeah, that is funny all right. Let's see what else we got going on here, biggest crutch, word, chingus, uh chingus is a big word.

Have you ever heard me say: chingus impersonal, not often yeah, it's something that i i have weird words uh guys. I have issues. Okay, i genuinely talk to myself. Even when we're loading the car or i'm helping him do something he'll be like talking and i'll, be like what? No i'm not talking to you.

Oh all right like no wonder and sometimes he's like in a in a mode too you're like i'm, not talking to you. Oh all right then yeah, like i'm hyper focused and i talk to myself. I thought it was helping you like lift this into the car or something and you're just like yeah talking to yourself. Well that i will say that majority of the time that you see me in that mode is when i'm focused like, for instance, you're focused, but you were, we were little literally.

I was like i don't. Even i can't reference the well i'm gon na i'm gon na i'm gon na use an example. That's gon na make sense and watch her face and let's see if she reacts to this one, no um. No, it's not one of those stories.

No! It's gon na like a week or two ago, no not a week or two ago about a month ago, i was putting together something in the backyard uh. It's like this hammock thing that i got for our family with like three hammocks and she was out there trying to help me and i was hyper focused and their instructions were worse than ikea instructions and it pissed me off because they weren't making sense - and i Was having a hard time - and i was in one of those hyper focus modes where i'm working and she was giving suggestions and those suggestions were not what i wanted to hear, because i'm trying to figure this out and that's not helping me it's just you know, Like it, it wasn't helping me so i have issues yeah i didn't. I think i i think i ended up telling you to put it away for the night and like try again tomorrow, because i'm like obviously something's not lining up because you're not like seeing it. Clearly.

I don't know, and the next day came home and it was built yep and all that it was was the instructions didn't imply which direction a certain bar needed to go and it was upside down so partially my fault, but their instructions also didn't give any logic To it, but i have those issues guys. I know i joke about mental stuff, but, like i do have anger issues i have to deal with them every day, i'm still a hyper focused person. I tend to shut everything off. We were just in the car on the way home and i got really irritated because we were sitting in traffic and some dude was trying to merge in front of me and i yelled i was screaming at him from in the car yeah road rage.

But i don't act on it, but i'm pissed, you know, and it's like i. I have to learn how to deal with that stuff and it's something that i have to live with. I've gone and seen a doctor about anger, issues and stuff, and and what i got from it. How it worked for me was that better.

Thank you much better, but how it works for me is that this is something i have to deal with every day and i also have to be cognizant of my family and that's the difficult thing uh. That's what drove me to go to the doctor in the first place was. I was worried about my family. I never wanted to hurt my family.

I had never hurt my family done anything bad, but one day i got really angry. I punched a hole in a wall, it felt really really good too good and then it was instant. Shame when i saw the hole no and then she came home and i didn't even say anything about the whole, what happened and then she's like. Why is there a whole so mad about? Do you even remember what you were mad about? I don't even know it was probably me and my dad and i was mad about something or something like that who knows, but i have to learn so for me.

The way that it all worked out with those issues and stuff is that i learned that this is something i have to deal with for the rest of my life. I went to see a therapist, i was diagnosed all kinds of stuff and i took medicine for it and - and i went you know and worked on myself and learned that i have to not react as fast, but i still have to deal with those issues. Every day it will be with me for life and it still comes out, but i try to get it out and one thing as a guy too, and i think this is a guy thing more so than a female thing is in general, i feel like we Try we tend to bottle things up, and that is one of my biggest issues is i bottle things up and even this like two weeks ago, i had an issue where i've been bottling, something up, and i even though i'm hyper aware of it, i still it Happens, it just gets buried in there and then and you're just so agitated that it's not fair to the other person to explode the way that you're going to explode, because it's it's little petty things that all led to an explosion. So talk to someone talk to someone you know like seriously.

It took you a while to come around to fully talking to me yeah, so yeah i mean definitely it's important uh. What was the hardest ac that i've ever worked on um? It was a 1964 carrier. 15, 10 ton or 15 ton split system uh, i can say the name of the restaurant. It was a joe's crab shack because i don't do any other work anymore and the uh.

This is an old old condensing unit. I believe it had an 06d carlisle in it um the the the air handler had the compressor in it and had a remote condenser on the roof. It wasn't so much that it was a difficult piece of equipment to work on and the point i'm trying to make here. It was because i'd never worked on something that old i'd never really had to get in there and and work on something - and i didn't understand when you open it up and the contactors this big, it's intimidating right.

So it wasn't so much that i didn't know how to work on it. It's that i wasn't familiar with it, so i was a little apprehensive right and i find that with a lot of things anything new that i go to work on, i tend to be intimidated. Um, if i work on you know my favorite ice machines, manitowoc and hoshizaki, but 15 years ago i hated manitowoc and i only liked toshizaki. Now i love manitowoc, because i work on them all the time and i'm very familiar with the way they work.

You put me on an isomatic fullet, uh scotsman, whatever right and and i'm like. Well, i tend to want to say i don't like those, but it's more or less, because i get frustrated with them and they're not simple to me so understand that difficulty is just something you have to work through right if something's difficult and it's hard majority of The time you need to take a step back and think about it for a minute and a lot of the times, you will solve your problems and you'll realize it's not so difficult. But the best thing i advice i can give to everybody is read and try to better yourself and educate yourself. I will find so you know a weird thing, and maybe this makes sense to you, the type of person that i am.

Maybe you can answer if this is something you notice too, but the type of person that i am i like to read about things, and i i only if i'm really interested in them right just because i need to learn about a new piece of equipment. If i don't have an interest in learning about it, it's hard for me to retain any information right, but i do really good on that particular piece of equipment. After i had an issue - and i i couldn't figure it out, then i can read and i can absorb like crazy. So it's interesting how my mind works that i can't motivate myself to dig into it.

You know before, but after i have issues with it, then all of a sudden i have all the motivation in the world. So um, i'm not perfect. You know i try to educate myself as much as possible, but i feel like he reads up on everything i i do, but it's interesting though, like i i don't know, i'm i'm very. I don't know you read up on everything you're like.

Are we gon na get this? Let me do some research yeah, i do research, i i had a. I had a. What did i have in the cart when we were at costco. Before this i had the the facebook meta vr, whatever thing that you put on your head - and i was like i'm gon na get one of those and that's why i thought you wanted to go to costco with me.

I was like. Oh, you had no alternative. I had no alternative motive. I just seen it there and i was like i've been thinking about one of these, so i was gon na.

I had it in the car and we're walking around and then i started doing research on my phone as she's shopping. I'm like looking over that research finally yeah and i'm like oh yeah, no, no they're coming out with a new one in like a year and a half nah, i'm just gon na throw it back in the car like i do. Research so start saving your pennies. Every month so yeah the oculus rift was hundred dollars, the new one's eight to twelve hundred dollars.

So just start saving. Now all right, let's see what else uh, why don't you want chris? Why don't you want me to make an only fans with air conditioning stuff? That's not what that's for. Why? Don't you? Let me because, but the irony is that it'd be funny if i made it only fans, if i had just pictures of my feet or literally just pictures of fans like that, would be hilarious, only fans with just fans, and then people pay right not already on There i wouldn't know, because i don't know either i've never been on it. I've genuinely never been on only fence, just because i know i'd get in trouble so, but i think it would be really smart if i made an only fence that would be an epic troll, wouldn't yeah well i'll, just leave it that's something already on tick tock! That's that's hard enough.

Uh. Are you holding back michael says that you're holding back that i'm difficult? No, i wouldn't say like you're difficult, i he's joking around, but still i mean do you think i'm a difficult person not really okay, you kind of like either. I don't know you tell it, i tell it how it is, but is it? Is it like a stockholm syndrome thing, like you, you've known me so long and your your head's so screwed up that you're, just okay with it, like i mean the the you that that met me when you were 17, would you if you were transplanted to right Now i don't think that you're deaf that you're different - i'm not. I know that's interesting.

I don't think that i think i'm different from when i was 17. that different you were still hyper, focused and doing things. I don't know, that's interesting. I think you maybe wanted to be trying to be funnier when you were younger.

I don't know, see. Look at now now. Mr green just stole my idea. Now he's gon na make an only fans about fans or females, say things i'm in i'm just kidding, damn it so there's uh the one thing i'm going to tell you guys right now and i was giving advice to someone my buddy pat finley, uh from commercial Kitchen chronicles he's starting a podcast and uh, it's pretty cool, pretty cool dude i've interacted with him on social media for a while, but um.

He was talking about social media stuff, and i gave him some advice and i said, look if you ever have ideas go and buy the domain before you say anything about the idea right, because that's just common sense. So i have all these ideas and i'm always going out and buying domains about things that i'm going to do by the way we've got a new project coming, but i haven't told you about it yet so how it works so see pretty much. She gets signed up for things uh. Actually i did tell you about this, but anyways.

I got to talk to the guys about it first um, but it would be more work. I lost my train of thought, though. Where was i talking about? I don't even remember. Yeah yeah, i totally lost my train of thought.

I really did um someone had asked me a question. Uh. Do i ever repair defrost clocks instead of replacing them? No, it's not practical. A defrost clock, cox costs about 125 130 or something like that, and then you mark it up and sell it to the customer.

My labor cost is damn near that much money. So the amount of time i would spend fixing it it's just not practical to try to repair it plus, and this is a question that i get a lot. How come i don't change, bearings and motors? How come i don't do this or do that or do you know when you have employees, you have to start making decisions and you have to base your decisions. You can't base them off of your own skills right because i'm a technically minded person - and i love getting into this stuff, but i'm limited by my weakest employee right.

So i need to make sure that i don't take on tasks that i can't trust and or properly train my employees to do. If i have my employees trying to repair circuit boards and trying to change, bearings and motors when you have a customer that needs their equipment fixed yesterday, you know it's just not practical. When you can go and pick up a motor, i live in los angeles right or just in the outskirts of los angeles. We have every major supply house a lot of the hubs for all the supply houses that are nationwide are here in california.

So i have all the parts the parts typically available to me, so you have to think about it as a as a logical person. Is it practical to have an employee spend hours to try to repair something and then find out it didn't work, or is it better just to replace that part with a bat with a good part? You know, and obviously the customer is part of that decision too. So um, let's see right on all right, we're going through here um. Why? Don't we uh do a giveaway because uh just so that you guys know my wife jill is the person that handles the shipping and the merchandise and all that different stuff from our website.

Let's let this chat come up and we'll see what other questions um.

What do you think? What do you think about the overtime show, so it's vulgar it's gross. Do you think i'm a dum-dum for doing it. I mean i don't. I think it's funny that it's live most of the time, no i'm just kidding but uh.

No, i think that it's a pretty cool thing for you guys to have you don't get to do a lot of stuff with friends on your own right, so it's kind of the thing you have to look. You know one of the things you have look to look forward to for a week, it's funny, because when the guys on the overtime show uh hvac overtime on youtube, when the guys asked me to join the show, so they were in the show with another person And there was a bunch of drama and they split and moved the show to a different channel and when they did that, i was friends with everybody. Uh adam reached out to me he's like hey so uh joe and bill uh. They wanted.

You know like we were thinking. We were kind of wondering if you wanted to be on a show with us and they were a little reluctant to ask because they didn't know if that was something i was interested in and i was like well yeah i'd i'll. Be on the show i said, but my my schedule's crazy, so i can't commit to it and um you guys are gon na have to you know, do most of the producing and everything, because i can literally just show up with my crazy schedule, and i told Them i can't make it a priority, but it's funny because it kind of has become a priority yeah, because i genuinely look forward to it yeah and i think you've only missed a few for being like super busy at work or something or yeah. I think we took you away like one time to go on vacation for the weekend, yeah and you still logged in to say hi right, even yeah, no yeah.
