Speaker B: The Bradford pair.
Speaker A: Yeah, it looks really beautiful tree.
Speaker C: Dogwood or Bradford pear?
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker A: Yeah, those dogwoods are nice.
Speaker B: And it only. It's only for a couple days or weeks.
Speaker A: No.
Speaker B: And then it turns green.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker A: The whole little spring season time, huh? Yeah. And then it goes away as it turns.
Speaker B: And then I feel like this year I've been noticing more of them. Where I noticed them more. There's a couple behind my house and I was like, wow, they just look beautiful.
Speaker A: Me and the girls went for bike Riding and all that. Just riding around. The birds are out right now too. They're singing. I mean they're singing like crazy. Lisa was like, oh, look at that bird. I was talking to someone on the phone and told me what's all those birds out there. I was like, oh yeah, they're pretty loud. I like it. I like birds.
Speaker B: They're a good alarm.
Speaker C: Yeah. So we were gonna talk a little bit about the real estate roundtable. Yeah. March 19th, 6:00pm Kyle Hood's gonna be there. We're gonna be at the 500 building.
Speaker A: Nice. Well, yeah, I've been there in the bottom. Yeah, you said we're going to the fourth floor.
Speaker C: Fourth floor conference room up there. I'm looking forward to that. You know, Abington has it locked down over here at the Sanho, but I think that. Or at the co create hub. I think it'll be good to have another place with people of lock Mons, you know?
Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. I, I didn't meet Kyle. I met him once, you know that I did a little job from a long time ago. But my old boss did a lot of work for his father in law for Osborne, Mr. Osborne and all that. So I guess he's really taking it off, huh?
Speaker C: Next level. Yeah, I think so. It's pretty cool. They're good people. I'll be where we're going to talk about your next adventure here.
Speaker B: So are we done with the roundtable?
Speaker C: Well, I mean we talked about a little bit. We were going to go more into the round table, I guess this coming week when we do another podcast with Kyle.
Speaker A: Yeah.
Speaker C: You want to do another one with Kyle, right?
Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean it's going to be exciting. You know, the property management part of things and the pros, cons, how to choose a good company. Right. So if anybody's watching like they, they have to come to this event. If you have a few, even if you have one or two, I mean, might as well start it at least. Me, my dad owns properties and we've always had that hassle because he wants to do it. But it's such a peace of mind when you have a company that has. They can deal with it.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker B: The drama or whatever.
Speaker A: Especially if you got something going. You know what I mean? That's the thing. If you got something going that can take your time away and something. I don't know what I learned that I think rich dad, poor dad, you know, that's why I changed my mentality of my, my yard work. You know, I used to do my Yard work and all that. But I noticed it'll take quite a bit of my time. I could be working, you know, making 150 an hour, then paying someone 35, 40, $50, you know, get it done. So long as. I guess as long as you're staying busy or even. Even that spending time with your kids, with your family, you know, that's very important. So why not?
Speaker B: Yeah. All right. What was the question for me again?
Speaker C: We were talking about your new adventure.
Speaker B: Adventure?
Speaker C: Yeah, the adventure in life.
Speaker B: Adventure.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker B: Well, there's a couple things, you know, one is. And we've already put it out there, so I'm here at the Hub. I'm the director of Hispanic entrepreneurship, so I'm going to help him. I'm going to help bring courses or things that are needed in the community and in Spanish, but not just that to everybody involved, you know, different. I would like to help different communities. Jonathan's involved. Rubio, Josh, Sierra here with Chris Abington in the Hub. So that's exciting. You know, we're going to have a couple of workshops coming up in April. It's going to be in Spanish. April 11th. Avonces Grand Program. Hub Inc. I've also launched as my own business, FC Renovations. And honestly, like, Jonathan and you have been, like, an inspiration and pushing me and, like, hey, you know, like, the sun comes out for everyone. So I really appreciate you guys just motivating me and I'm able to learn from you guys and then bring something to the table, too. So I'm excited, you know, I'm excited, you know, one day at a time. So I'm. You guys been in this for years. So what are some advice for me?
Speaker C: Stay positive.
Speaker A: Be a man of your word.
Speaker C: That's a good one, too.
Speaker D: Yeah.
Speaker C: Follow through with what you're gonna say.
Speaker D: Okay.
Speaker C: Being positive.
Speaker D: That.
Speaker C: That's hand in hand with the same thing, though. You know what I mean? There's a thousand things you could say. Don't quit. Keep your head down.
Speaker B: Thank you.
Speaker C: Say positive. The green sauce is my favorite. I could literally squirt the hot sauce in my. My mouth at the restaurant.
Speaker D: Haven't tried that lambre yet. It's the first time.
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker C: Yeah. You know, we ate at your restaurant three days last week, right?
Speaker D: Yeah, I know.
Speaker A: Which one? This one?
Speaker D: Yeah.
Speaker B: Well, I feel a little better with all that heat.
Speaker C: We'll put some more of that sauce on. You didn't even try that one. Hot sauce.
Speaker D: You're scared.
Speaker B: I did this one. You have sharp vision.
Speaker C: You poured it. You poured it Underneath the table, what
Speaker A: you already got yourself kind of into, you know, before you started your thing and all that, what did you learn, you know, while you were kind of studying the whole construction side of the world, you know, what would you get out of it? Or at least in this area here, because you've done it, too, a little bit in California and all that, you know, But. But I think everything's a little bit different, different places.
Speaker B: I think the best thing is, you know, attention to detail. You know, I feel a lot of people focus on the bigger thing and then spend less on the finishing touches of things, you know, and that's the first thing we see, like, either us or a client. So that helps a lot to kind of like, yeah, you can build the whole wall, but it's just the finishing touch that's going to, like, define you. Not all the time, but, you know, a lot of people. Like, you can put a whole wall, but if you leave a little piece dented or whatever, they. They might define you on just that one piece. So that's what I learned, you know, especially with you guys. I mean, I. I was with. Walk with you guys, little things, and I was. I would be there when you called somebody, hey, man, can you come back and fix this thing? Because if it's. If it's not good for you, it's not good for the client, you know, so that's one thing I learned. And.
Speaker C: Well, a lot of the clients that you work for expect you to take care of that for them.
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker C: You know, they may be okay with it, but it might not be what it's supposed to be. You know what I mean? And so you always want to elevate yourself, make sure everything's done good, you know, best of your abilities. And some clients still won't be happy with the best of your abilities. Yeah. So just take that with a grain of salt and be positive. You know, being positive, even in a negative situation, it goes a long way, so.
Speaker B: And also be okay with walking away from a job like it's not. Not. Not all of them for you.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker B: If they're not willing to pay what you're asking, then they're probably just not for. You can avoid some headaches.
Speaker C: I can tell you something. I know positive is little munchies in Russellville, boys.
Speaker B: I know why y' all quiet. Come on, man. Is yours.
Speaker D: Listen to you guys.
Speaker A: Hey. So people try to put a lot of fear in you, huh?
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker D: Yes.
Speaker A: And what you do with that, you grab that and you throw them trash, huh? Yeah, I remember you saying something about
Speaker C: that, you know, at the beginning it was hard for.
Speaker D: Yeah, I.
Speaker A: If it was easy. Everybody be doing it.
Speaker D: Yes. But it's beautiful, Russell. Beautiful.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker A: Hey, you're Rilan now.
Speaker B: Yeah, you bet. I bet. I went like the first few days, cuz. Okay, so you had a soft opening, but you never closed back. Stay open.
Speaker D: Okay.
Speaker A: You know, it was a soft.
Speaker B: Have a soft opening and then he's open already. Like the whole time.
Speaker D: It was like a soft opening. Like I'm going to close the whole. It was just like a soft opening. It's going to be the party. So, so just south opening. But I was going to open already.
Speaker B: When are you thinking of having the the block party?
Speaker D: They told me as whenever I was ready for right now. I haven't been ready.
Speaker B: Oh, so they're ready, but you haven't been ready.
Speaker D: I'm not ready right now. It's like right now trying to control the situation. I, I, I can't. I can't. Yes. No sleep.
Speaker C: No bro.
Speaker D: I feel like I start all over again. Yeah. Yes. It's. And it's Russell.
Speaker B: It's another. I think you're, you're, you're, you're.
Speaker C: No, really.
Speaker A: You're right about that. It's an Russell is another game because I seen some restaurants, you know, they've been open other. Another, another towns and all that and where they come from, they're good, but once they make it a Russell, they shut down. Because it's different level.
Speaker B: Yes, it's.
Speaker D: I experienced that on the 19.

Speaker D: The whole. It's been, it's been popping since I we open. So see r people hungry. Hungry.
Speaker B: I mean, I like your branding. I like your style. I mean, it's very unique. You know, those munchies and the, the purple color. And then your restaurant has. I think I like that, you know, because I mean, it's cool. Like all Mexican restaurants have like the typical colors. Yellows and then the lady with the dress, which is fine, but you're just like sick cool with some glasses.
Speaker C: The guy, his wife, his wife did that.
Speaker B: Yeah. He told me you guys wore some 3D glasses or something.

Speaker C: I walked in and I was like, hey, can I show you something real quick? I said, I'm. I'm. I got. I gotta show you this because it'll help you, you know? And then it didn't take long.
Speaker B: He.
Speaker C: He already knew the fundamentals of it, but, like, it wasn't. He's a. He's a owner of a food business. He ain't a painter, you know.
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker C: He did good, though.
Speaker B: How do you like to paint? Like, I like to go zigzag like that. And then I come back around and go straight.
Speaker C: Let's talk about that. Let's. Let's just. Let's talk about paint. So what is your application for paint? Let's say you were painting this wall. Let's say we're painting it. What is the way that you apply the paint to the wall? Like, it's different for everybody. You can do it 20 different ways. But I want to know how you.
Speaker B: The way I've done it. I mean, it's just, you know, put the primer right.
Speaker C: Yeah. But just painting, how do you physically. What. When. When you're putting the paint on the roller, what is the first step you do on the wall? Like, what is it that you do?
Speaker B: Me? I mean, like, I started zigzagging.
Speaker C: Yeah. But that didn't answer my question. So like, how do you apply the paint to the wall? Do you start at the top and you roll all the way down? Do you put paint in different areas on the wall and then roll that paint across?
Speaker B: No, I go from the bottom up. Like if it's a high wall, then I got to cut it in half. But I'll go up.
Speaker C: Oh, no, no.
Speaker D: Come on.
Speaker B: No. Is that a trick question?
Speaker C: No, it's not a trick question. So how about you? So say you were going to paint.
Speaker A: You told me last time. How you doing all that? I'm not a painter, you know. Well, like I usually cut.
Speaker C: Yeah, so. So you're going to cut the top and bottom. I mean, and look, there's thousand ways to do it. I just find a way that works good for us and it goes quickly, you know, but you cut the top and bottom corner, whatever. And then when you apply the paint. How do you apply the paint? You roll it. And then do you start at the bottom and then you just hope that paint makes it all the way up or how do you do it? Because you're starting this new business, you know, and, and you need to, to know the aspects, if your people are doing it right or is it going to be all strapped up when you get done, you know? So I'm asking a legit question. Like if you were to paint, we had a five gallon bucket here and you were going to paint, what would be the steps to applying the paint to the wall?
Speaker B: I mean, I. What, what I. When I've done it, I, I go up, you know, I try to fill up the whole wall and then fill it when I need to redo, refill it, you know?
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker B: So like I, I can feel when it's kind of. There's not enough paint anymore.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker B: And then I just roll it up again and I continue. I try to be consistent, you know, not.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker B: So it won't be patchy.
Speaker C: So I, I think that this could lead into more videos in general. Excuse me? Not just this per se, but maybe a behind the scenes on tip Tuesdays or do something that I could kick off and. Yeah, and, and give pointers. I'm not the, the paint God, you know, I don't know everything. I just know what works and how when I get done, it looks decent, you know. So what, what I was getting at though is, is I would roll my roller and I would get a decent amount of paint on it. I don't use cheap products. When I started, you know, I was using the contractor paint, which was the Cheapest you could get. And it's really thin, runny, and it just makes a mess, you know. And so over time, the paint rep at Lowe's has ended up. I've gone up a grade, Up a grade. Until now I'm at the. I don't use cheap paint. I wouldn't use cheap paint on your home. But, you know, like I'm doing a, an apartment renovation. People say, oh, we got to do the cheapest, cheapest, cheapest, cheapest, you know, and, and so I try to accommodate those people, but I won't skimp out on paint. And the main thing is I could buy the cheap paint, but what it does, if I buy the cheap paint, then I have to do two coats. I do two coats a majority of the time, but I will have to, guaranteed, at least do two, maybe three coats if I use a cheap paint because it doesn't cover as well. So I ended up buying a more expensive paint that covers the wall good the first time, and the second time, you won't ever have an issue. So what I was saying about the way I put paint on is when I start off, I teach my, my boys, you know, the guys that work with us is we put an end on the wall, depending if it's a nine inch roller, then, then I'll get paint on it and then I put an end on the wall. Okay. And then I'll roll it again and I put another end on the wall and then I'll paint it. And, and when I mean an N, I'm just putting paint on the wall, not trying to get it pretty the first time. I'm literally just taking that roller. I'm throwing paint on the wall, okay. And so I'll do it in and in and in. And then on the last one, I'll start at the bottom and I've got a loaded roller and I'll start at the bottom. Remember, I've cut in and when you rolled that bottom six, eight inches or whatever, and then I'll take off and I'll roll. And as I'm rolling, I'm touching each one of those ends, which is pulling paint from the wall. Okay. And, and I'm doing that and I come over about three roller wide. That's about what the end ends up being whenever I put it on. If it's a 9 inch, if it's a 18 inch roller, then I normally do V's on the wall because there's only a certain amount of paint you can put on the wall before it starts to get tacky, and thousands of people can watch this video and tell me I'm wrong. That's cool. I don't really care. It works for me how we do it, you know, But I put the ends on the wall, and we'll roll it out all the way until the end of that third roller. And I'm not overly concerned about my roller running dry, because I'm not trying to continue to paint. I'm just trying to paint that three rollers wide. And then when I get to that third roller wide, I'll roll back. And when I roll back, that's the finish. So the first time I'm. And this. What I just try to tell the guys, you know, is there's thousands of different ways to paint. You can do it however you want to. I just know that this way works. And it covers good the first time, and when I paint it the second time, everything's Gucci, you know, and so we roll through, and I can paint a. I can paint this whole room cut in everything, you know, it take. Take some time to do it properly, But I'm all about doing it proper the first time, so you don't have to do it the second and third time, you know. And if you do a good primer, good paint, whatever. But that's the question I was asking was how would you apply that paint? Would you just start off with the roller and roll up and down? Because what happens if you start off with a roller like that? You're gonna run dry before you do a full roll and a half of that. And then looking at the wall later, ever with a shadow or anything, you're gonna see streaks in the wall and stuff like that, you know. And so like I said, there's thousand different ways. I just want to pick your brain, you know?
Speaker B: Yeah, I like the end. The end, yes. What I was trying to say, the Netflix end.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker B: And then you come back. But I mean. Yeah, you're right.
Speaker A: Explain a little bit how you do your cut engine and all that.
Speaker C: You didn't say that. Well, so. So cutting in, we don't use tape. As simple as that. The guys. I let the guys use tape when they first start. Of course, I have outsourced people that. That they don't use tape either. We tape top of baseboards sometime. And the only reason we tape the top of the baseboard sometimes just to keep them from dripping on it. It's not necessarily to cut that edge, but we'll take so quality product. Brushes, rollers, naps, everything you use if you use cheap stuff, you're gonna get cheap quality. I don't use cheap product or any of that stuff.
Speaker B: So are the Purdy's considered.
Speaker C: Yeah, pretty good. I use Purdy chesting at Lowe's. You know, he, he will guide me or guide you or guide whoever. And, and he's the paint rep for Lowe's, you know, but if you got an application you're unsure about, you can just reach out to him. He'll tell you what you should use, how to, how's, best. But we use a Purdy, you know, and, and I'll take. And I'll dip the brush, you know, if you got a. Let's say the brush is six inches long, I dip that bottom two and a half, three inches in paint, smack the bucket, and then I'll put a line on the wall. I'll run out of 18 inches or so, and I've got a pretty good loaded brush. But I run out about 18 inches or so. And then I come back and I start raking that paint up. And then we'll come back and we'll brush one last time. And then I do an extra step, which isn't really necessary, but I'm, I'm big on not seeing brush strokes. And so we end up weenie rolling that the last, you know, four or six inches at the end. And that allows the guy that comes behind with a brush or with the roller to not hit the baseboard, not hit the ceiling. Because you look like every other handyman in town when you paint the ceiling, when you're painting the walls, you know?
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker C: And like I said, just, just because I do it a certain way doesn't mean that that's the correct way, the wrong way or whatever. Thousand different ways to skin a goat. It's just the way that I teach my guys and I want my guys to do it and it takes less time. Back when I used to do a lot of paint, now I would be covered in paint. Now I could go in and I could still be dressed nice, you know, because I tend to be dressed nice even though I'm in the crap with the rest of the guys, you know, But I'll come out and I won't have paint on me. And I'm like, yes, sir. Like, yeah, I finally hit that mark where I don't have to worry about that, you know, And I'll get there. And the twins, they'll be painting and they look like they just poured a five gallon bucket on top of themselves online. I remember those days.
Speaker A: That's me.
Speaker C: I remember those days.
Speaker A: I guess I never graduated on the roof.
Speaker B: I try.
Speaker A: I get dirty and all that. I'm the guy that gets on my knees and stuff like that. So my knees, you can tell, they're like, you've been working today. They can see my knees. They're dirty.
Speaker C: So where do you guys buy pants at? Because pants. I keep blowing the ass out or the butt out of these pants. Stephanie tells me I got Britches Busters, Booty, you know?
Speaker B: How do I cut a burrito?
Speaker C: You're an expert. You probably cut yours at an angle, huh? So you get that presentation? Actually, no, no, I know how it's cut because the twins got one yesterday. It's cut right down the middle. Yeah, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker A: You start from the bottom or do
Speaker C: you start from the top?
Speaker B: Hey, you don't have to. You don't have to say your secrets, okay?
Speaker C: Yeah, don't. Don't give. You don't give your secret sauce away.
Speaker B: The competitors are watching.
Speaker C: He definitely got competitive.
Speaker A: I got.
Speaker D: I don't know, maybe.
Speaker B: Hey, you might.
Speaker A: You might have to do a little one of those inflatable things, you know?
Speaker D: Oh, yeah. I called my cousin in Mexico, see if he can make me a suit. You know, the trumpito.
Speaker B: You try just take over the taco game.
Speaker C: He already has. What do you mean? Yeah,
Speaker B: yeah. Los Tacos at River Valley or something.
Speaker D: Yeah, I was. I was. But then I was like, I just keep it to myself. I just let the people, you know, say it.
Speaker B: Yeah. Undecided.
Speaker C: There's a. There's a lot of great Hispanic restaurants in town. I just like the twist on the way you do business and the way your food's presented. I think it's pretty awesome. That doesn't mean that other places in town don't do good. You know, just Munchy's bringing a twist to the town.
Speaker B: Yeah. And even a challenge, you know, like, hey, changing it up a little bit.
Speaker D: I've been here, what, 18 years? I had never seen all the stuff that I brought here to Russell. So I do kind of feel, you know, like I brought a lot of stuff to Roseville, especially the.
Speaker B: The water.
Speaker D: You. You don't see nowhere here. I remember when I used to work that I used to go eat it. It was Little Rock or. Or for Smith and find good waters.
Speaker A: The only thing they have is orchata.
Speaker B: Those places are.
Speaker D: They're not natural. It's just. They have it. But it's that liquid stuff.
Speaker C: Oh, yeah, yeah. Cuz you talk about.

Speaker C: Yes.
Speaker D: Like, we cut the fruits from fresh,
